Chapter 51 Li Mu

"Tell me why you said that Li Mu wants to go south? If you can't say why, you will stay in the grassland and shepherd the sheep for me in the future. Touman took a sip of the Yanren envoy below, and his subordinates kneaded it hard, but the slave girl didn't dare to make a sound. After all, she had seen with her own eyes how the last slave girl who cried out in pain had her head cut off and made into a wine glass.

The Yan envoy had to endure this humiliation on his own, and he showed a flattering smile and said: "This year, King Zhao personally met with King Qin, intending to attack Yan. It's just that the Qin people have always been greedy, and the Zhao people will definitely take the opportunity to attack Zhao when they attack the Yan State. Li Mu is stationed at the border and must go south to defend the country, isn't this an opportunity for Shan Yu? ”

Tou Mandan's fierce eyes showed a sly cold light, and he sneered and said, "Then the Yan people want me to fight for you without paying me?" If you can't give me 10,000 bows and 100,000 arrows, I'll go to the border of Yan with Donghu and take a turn. ”

"I have no right to accept this, and please allow me to return to the country and report to the king." The messenger didn't expect that Touman was also insatiable, so he could only shirk it like this first.

"My patience is very limited, I'm afraid you Yan Guo won't be able to wait too long, I hope you can bring me good news next time." Touman sneered, revealing his dirty yellow teeth, and his foul breath went straight to the Yanren messenger.

"It must be answered as soon as possible. Then I beg your pardon for retiring. After finishing speaking, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom slowly walked out of the big tent with his head down, because the last person who dared to face Shan Yu with his buttocks heard that he had been fed to the wolves.

After the autumn, the Zhao State really attacked Yan on a large scale, and in order to get the assistance of the Qin people, the Yan people had to urgently send Yan Prince Dan into Qin as a hostage, hoping to get the promise of the Qin people to send troops.

In Xianyang City, Lu Pheasant followed Qin Zheng and looked at Prince Yan Dan, he was the same age as Qin Zheng, his appearance was outstanding, and there was a gentle smile on his face from time to time, but he didn't know whether it was disguise or nature.

Prince Dan naturally saw Lu Pheasant, who was following Qin Zheng, and exclaimed: "This is the rumored girl? The king is really willful. ”

"Don't mention her, you and the widow haven't seen each other for more than ten years since Zhao Guoyi parted, and the disgraced Dan of the past has also grown into a big man. Tonight, you should enter Qin to catch the wind and wash the dust, and let the widow entertain you well. "Qin Zheng didn't want to talk about Lu Pheasant with others, every time he seemed to say that he was a faint monarch, but he didn't know that Qin Guo had a lot of credit for her today.

Lu Pheasant remained silent, watching the two of them talking and laughing at all, it didn't look like the tension in the future, so didn't Prince Yan Dan send Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Wang Mo because of the difference in the country's position? Or is Yan Dan a scheming person who hides his thoughts deeply?

In the evening banquet, Qin Zheng not only appeared by himself, but also brought the son of the Marquis of Chengping and others as guests, and the normal banquet was a joy for the guests and hosts in Lu Pheasant's opinion. I just don't know what Yan Dan thinks in his heart, but he has to warn Qin Zheng early when he thinks about it.

"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Yan Zhao was a generous and sad person, but when he saw Yan Dan, it seemed to be different from the rumors." Lu Pheasant looked at Qin Zheng, who was slightly out of shape after drinking, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes were misty, and he couldn't help but knock on the side to know what he thought.

"Dan, that guy, has always been indifferent, thinking about how to take revenge on others. The widow is the same as him in Zhao State, the widow is stubborn and unwilling to show weakness and is often beaten, and that guy often surrounds the strong child to avoid being beaten. Now he's gathered around the widow again, and that's it. Qin Zheng intermittently told the Yan Dan in his mind, for him, today is just a matter of seeing the old man again.

Lu Pheasant was relieved to see that he didn't treat Yan Dan as a friend of his neck, she didn't want to wait until the day when Jing Ke arrived, and then tell him that Prince Yan wanted to assassinate him.

Yan Dan didn't feel that he had been treated coldly in a few days, although his subordinates were still respectful, but he couldn't see Qin Zheng anymore, and if he wanted to talk about sending troops, he had to go to meet Wei Yu. His face remained unchanged, but he blamed Qin Zheng in his heart, it was originally just a matter of Qin Zheng's words, but now he wanted him to run around.

Qin Zheng finally sent Wang Qian, Yang Duanhe, Huan Qi and Fan Yu to attack Zhao in two ways, and the four of them could be regarded as having been on the battlefield for a long time to rob Zhao State, so there should be no problem.

In the eleventh year of the reign of King Qin, the Qin army captured Yunzhong, and nine cities such as Yanhe, Luyang, Ye, and Anyang, and the king of Zhao mourned and died in fear, and the king of Zhao moved to succeed him.

Zhao mourning the prince Qian born to King Xiang and the prostitute, in order to make Qian ascend the throne, he also deposed the prince Jia who had the name of virtue born to his wife, no matter what, the mess of Zhao State was handed over to his incompetent son as he wished.

The long shield in the hand of a soldier who was defending the border city with a shield was clanged by sharp arrows. He reached out and picked up an arrow that fell on the ground, and found that it was a metal arrowhead, and looked at the inscription on the shaft of the arrow, which turned out to be Yanren characters. He and his companions who defended together spat and cursed the Yan people.

Li Mu was originally guarding against the Xiongnu on the border of Zhao, and from the mouths of merchants who traveled between the two places, he heard that the Yan people had sent a large number of strong bows and arrows to the Xiongnu. Zhao was caught off guard by the Qin people behind his back, but he couldn't get out because of the Xiongnu pinning down.

The Huns didn't come to attack the city, they just came to show off their strength. Even if you really want to enter the border, you will enter the pass and plunder from the weak point of the pass.

It's just that Li Mu didn't dare to leave Guancheng lightly, so he had to send the envoy sent by Zhao Wangqian back to Handan. Li Mu saw that the Huns' reaction this time was very strange, it seemed that the enthusiasm for attacking was not high, but it was hindering them from getting out.

Half a month later, when Li Mu heard Tanma's report, his face turned red, his beard trembled slightly, and he asked: "You said that the Xiongnu plundered the border of Yan and returned with a great victory?" ”

Tanma saw the coach furious, shrunk his head and nodded lightly.

Li Mu took out his sword and slashed it hard at the corner of the desk, and the wooden table broke with a click, and he cursed angrily: "Touman, one day, I will cut off your head." ”

The Yan people can also be said to have eaten their own evil fruits, but this does not change the bad impression of Li Mu in Handan City for refusing to return to help. Especially Guo Kai was jealous of his ability, and he continued to slander in Zhao Wangqian's ears. In the early days, King Zhao could still realize that Li Mu had worked hard at the border pass, but gradually he also became a little dissatisfied.

Yan Dan saw that the crisis in Yan was resolved, and he didn't want to continue to be idle in Xianyang, so he asked Qin Zheng to allow him to return to China.

"Oh? But the widow is not well entertained? Dan has only been in Qin for more than a year, why do you want to return to China in a hurry? Qin Zheng chuckled like a hospitable lord who warmly entertained his guests.

Yan Dan's palms in his sleeve robe were clenched, and he said with an ugly smile: "There are still important things in the country, but now I have to return, and if I have the opportunity, I will definitely meet again." ”

"Since the king is sincere in his guests, why didn't the prince fulfill the king's wish? I heard that the king and the prince have already known each other, and it is rare for the prince to enter Qin, so it is better to stay for more time and let the king entertain the guests. "This is Lu Pheasant following Qin Zheng's intention to open his mouth to keep Yan Dan, how can he let him come and go as soon as he wants.

Lu Pheasant has also grown a lot, and her voice is not as milky as it was at the beginning, and she is getting fairer and fairer when she wears a black robe. Although she is still her councilor, she has already obtained a knighthood, and now she is also a fifth doctor. It's just that he hasn't even reached the age of Jilu, and he can't wear a crown anymore.

Her smiling appearance couldn't fool Yan Dan, he had already suffered enough of her in Xianyang for more than a year. If he can't return to China for a long time, maybe his younger brothers will have to find a way to get on the throne. It's just that the two people in front of them want to buckle strongly, and it's not the time to tear their faces.

"It's mine, it's not me, but I haven't been considerate of King Qin, since King Qin is sincere, then I have to do what King Qin wants." Yan Dan squeezed out an ugly smile and replied to Qin Zheng, who was waiting for him to answer.

"Your Majesty, Yan Dan is probably not a person who is willing to accept the status quo, although he should go down now, maybe he will also think of escaping. It is better to put him under house arrest, lest he escape from Xianyang. Lu Pheasant seemed to care about Yan Dan's return to China, but in fact, he wanted to prevent him from going back and sending someone to assassinate Qin.

"It's okay, a Yan Dan is not a big deal. What would he be able to do even if he returned? Qin Zheng thought that he still knew Yan Dan, and thought that he couldn't make any big waves.

"That Wang Shang has a bumper harvest in Guanzhong this year, and the harvest in Yingchuan County and Dangjun is also good, and Zhao can be cut down on a large scale next year. It's just that I heard that there is a good general in the north of Zhao State who is the famous pastor of the Li family as Zhao Shoubian, and I am afraid that it is an obstacle for the Qin army. Now that Zhao Wangqian is incompetent, it is necessary to get rid of the anti-plot as soon as possible. If possible, it is better to let people take advantage of the time when King Zhao wants to kill Li Mu, spare his life, and leave one more military general to garrison the frontier. Lu Pheasant attached great importance to Li Mu, but he didn't want him to die in the hands of Zhao Ren, so he was very hesitant in his words.

"Who is Li Mu? How is it that the widow has not heard of it? Qin Zheng really didn't know much about the generals on the frontier of Zhao State, after all, what he had in his ears in the past were people like "Xinling Jun" and "Pang Xuan" who could unite the five countries to attack Qin at every turn.

In the first year of King Zhao Mourning, Li Mu led an army of 200,000 to release cattle and sheep shepherds as bait outside the pass, leading the Huns to scramble, and pretending to fail to lead the Huns deeper. Follow-up to the chariot and cavalry obstacles, the bow and crossbow attack in the array, when the Huns were exhausted, the two wings of elite soldiers and knights exhausted, beheaded more than 100,000, only the Huns were left to ride with a few horses. ”

Lu Pheasant was humiliated by Mao Dun back then, and he hated that there was no good general like Li Mu, of course, his deeds have been read many times, and now Qin Zheng asked her to tell Li Mu's battle of fame.

If that is the case, we have to worry about it. In recent years, the border of Shangjun has also been invaded by the Xiongnu from time to time, and the widows have long wanted to send troops to attack, but they have to give priority to the Central Plains. If you can really get a good general, you can also make the widow have no worries about attacking the south. ”

"Now that Yiqu is in the hands of the king, if the king goes north to attack the Huns in the future, he can recruit the Yiqu cavalry to fight for Qin." Speaking of Yiqu, Lu Pheasant naturally can't get around the Empress Dowager Xuan, who seduces the king of Yiqu, she uses her beauty to remove the hidden dangers in the north of the Qin State, she is really a legend.

The two of them discussed for a long time, but Qin Zheng was very opposed to Lu Pheasant's plan to go to Zhao in person, but Lu Pheasant wanted to see Li Mu in person. Before Lu Pheasant returned home, she had not yet convinced Qin Zheng to make her distressed.
