Today's Zhao State is no longer the Zhao State of the past, and the Zhao State during the reign of King Xiaocheng was the axis and barrier of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and it was also the only military power that could compete with the strong Qin. Although after the Changping War, both Qin and Zhao declined, the two sides still maintained a confrontation for more than 20 years.

But since the death of King Xiaocheng, the state of Zhao began to decline. First of all, the crown prince Zhao Yan, who had just ascended to the throne, recalled Guo Kai, a henchman who had committed a serious crime and was exiled to Yunzhong by King Xiaocheng, despite the opposition of his ministers, and promoted him to Shangqing, and took charge of the affairs of the prime minister. After that, the absurd things were one after another, and finally at the instigation of Guo Kai, Zhao Yan, who liked the art of immortality, actually issued an edict to depose the eldest son Zhao Jia's status as the prince, and set up the youngest son Zhao Qian as the crown prince, and let Guo Kai concurrently serve as the crown prince and assist the prince in leading the country.

Leaving state affairs to Zhao Qian and Guo Kai, Zhao Yan was finally able to pursue immortality wholeheartedly, but only nine years later, the absurd King Zhao suddenly died of illness in his prime. The crown prince Zhao Qian, who had not yet been crowned, was put on the throne by Guo Kai in ignorance, so Guo Kai justifiably became the most powerful minister of Zhao State.

Zhao Qian ascended the throne, and although Li Mu was named Wu Anjun, the head of the generals, Li Mu's heart was even more worried. In the past three years, Guo Kai and the old ministers of the Zhao Dynasty have been in a quarrel, and both sides have tried their best to win over Li Mu, but Li Mu has never understood what power and conspiracy is, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. As time passed, not only did Guo Kai regard Li Mu as an enemy, but even the veteran forces gradually parted ways with him.

Since then, in the temple of Zhao State, Li Mu has been completely isolated......

"General, Yingzheng is afraid that it will not be good for me, Zhao Yan, please go to Xianyang to find out the truth." When Ying Zheng eradicated Chang Yu's forces and the news of Guanjian's pro-government came back to Zhao Guoyun's camp, Ji Xue hurriedly walked into Li Mu's tent.

"The army has its own scout commander-in-chief, why do you need the Chinese army Sima to go in person?" Li Mu looked at the bamboo slips in front of the case and asked casually.

In the Yinshan Battle that year, Li Mu accidentally discovered the identity of Ji Xue's woman, but he did not deal with Ji Xue in accordance with military law: "After all, she saved the general, even if it is a crime!" In fact, this is just an excuse Li Mu made for himself, deep in his heart, there is always a voice reminding him that he has fallen hopelessly in love with this beautiful woman.

But Li Mu knew that Ji Xue was the woman Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo loved the most, so he couldn't think about her. He can only choose to bury this unforgettable love deep in his heart, and this hiding is more than ten years.

Ji Xue glanced around, and saw that there was no one else, so she whispered Zhao Gao's identity: "Only Zhao Yan can persuade Zhao Gao to make it available to me." ”

Li Mu pondered for a moment, still puzzled: "However, Zhao Gao is just a minor official in Qin after all. ”

"Not really." Ji Xue is convinced of her judgment of her son, "Gao'er grew up with Yingzheng since he was a child, and now Yingzheng is pro-government, and the court is full of Lu Party wings. At this time, with the talent of Gao'er, how can Yingzheng be light! ”

After listening to Ji Xue's words, Li Mu had nothing to say. Let his beloved go to a dangerous place, although he can't bear it, but he has no reason to stop Ji Xue from going to Qin State, both public and private: "There are many crises in Qin, can Zhao Yan think clearly?" ”

Seeing that Ji Xue nodded without hesitation, Li Mu had no choice but to agree.

That night, Ji Xue changed back into women's clothes and set off in a hurry. But she had not gone far from the camp when a middle-aged knight in a light gray robe suddenly appeared in front of her. Ji Xue urged the horse to get closer and see that the person was Li Mu.

"General......" Ji Xue didn't expect Li Mu to appear here.

In Ji Xue's stunned state, Li Mu had already turned off the horse, walked slowly to Ji Xue's horse, stroked the horse's head and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just here to see you off." With that, Li Mu raised his head slightly and silently looked at the beautiful woman on the horse. This is the first time in more than ten years that Li Mu has stared at Ji Xue so closely, although he has already reached middle age, Ji Xue is still charming, and there is no trace of aging on his face.

Ji Xue coughed lightly and interrupted the embarrassment of the two: "Thank you, General." ”

Li Mu's swarthy face suddenly turned red: "This is not a military camp, just call it by its name." ”

"Let's call the general, it's been smooth for so many years." Ji Xue got off the horse and turned around, an intoxicating bright moon was hanging high on the grassland, and the four fields were all boundless grass waves, "The general is not only here to see him off, right?" ”

"This ......" At this moment, Li Mu does not look like a general who has commanded the army for decades, but like a shy boy, "Mu is here to ......"

"General, but it doesn't hurt to say." Seeing that Li Mu was snorting for a long time, Ji Xue was also anxious.

If you don't say it at this time, I'm afraid that you won't have a chance to say it in the future! Li Mu turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, and strode around in front of Ji Xue. Although his right hand was slightly disabled, he still arched his hands forward vigorously, blushed and said, "Please agree to be Li Mu's wife!" ”

"Even ......" Ji Xue didn't expect Li Mu, who had always been steady, to say such abrupt words, she subconsciously took two steps back, biting her lips tightly, and didn't know what to do for a while. Li Mu likes herself, she doesn't know it, but she has always had only Zhao Kuo in her heart, so she can't accept another man.

Thinking of this, Ji Xue couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said apologetically: "Ji Xue...... Ji Xue thanked the general...... Correct...... However, Ji Xue couldn't agree...... Ji Xue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Mu's eager eyes, she quickly turned around and jumped on the horse, hurriedly saluted Li Mu with tears, and then pulled up the reins of the horse and galloped away.

"Ji Xue......" Looking at the white color that was gradually moving away, Li Mu let out a heavy sigh......

Five years have passed, and Ji Xue has finally come back safely.

In Li Mu's cowhide tent, Ji Xue told the major events that had happened in the Qin State in the past five years, and finally she told Li Mu Zhao's instructions: "Ying Zheng is an immortal hero!" At present, the Qin State is in chaos, and it is time to attack Qin! If they get through the crisis, the nations will be in danger! ”

Although Li Mu has a congenital sense of politics and politics, he is extremely keen about military affairs, and the aftermath of the Qin State has not been settled in the aftermath of the matter of Lu Buwei, and the people who have been expelled from the order have panicked, at this time it is indeed the best opportunity to attack Qin! Thinking about this, Li Mu couldn't care about catching up with the old man anymore, he told Ji Xue to go back to the camp to rest, while spreading out the bamboo slips, picking up the pen and writing it quickly, and sent a flying horse to Handan non-stop.

At this time, Handan was already a miasma, Guo Kaizheng was made anxious by a cadre of royal ministers headed by Chunpingjun, and suddenly received an urgent report from Li Mu, Guo Kai had an idea at that time: he decided to use Li Mu's upper and lower attention to shift all the attention of the government and the opposition to attack Qin.

In the world of the Warring States, as the name suggests, the war is great, as long as you can make every effort to promote the great event, no matter what the success or failure of the future is, you can reverse the current passive situation in one fell swoop.

Zhao Qian naturally obeyed Guo Kai's words, and immediately issued an edict to let the old general Pang Yuan be responsible for going to the Five Kingdoms to lobby for cooperation. And Pang Yuan had already received the secret letter from Li Mu from the clouds, and the time was urgent, as soon as he received the edict, he immediately set off south.

When the countries heard about the Qin State's expulsion of guests, they were all ready to move, and the combination was naturally unusually smooth. Under the mediation of Pang Yuan, only half a year passed, except for the Qi State that was partial to the east, which was unwilling to be the enemy of Qin, the other four countries all participated in the alliance, and the five countries soon reached an alliance: with Zhao Wangqian as the commander of the longitudinal covenant and Li Mu as the commander of the coalition army, they gathered troops to attack Qin. Zhao sent 50,000 elite troops from the border army and the hinterland army, while Wei, Yan, and Chu each sent 80,000 troops, and the Han army 60,000, with a total of 400,000 troops from the five countries.

After the completion of the alliance, Li Mu immediately completed the handover of the 100,000 border troops left behind in the Yunzhong camp with the deputy general Sima Shang, and then personally led 50,000 elite flying cavalry to the south to join the five-nation coalition army.
