In 250 BC, King Yingzhu of Qin died three days after succeeding to the throne, and Zichu became the monarch of Qin.

Other than that, there have been no major conflicts between countries.

It's just that for Zhao Guo, I don't know whether this year is happy or sad.

This year, the state of Zhao besieged the capital of the state of Yan, forcing the king of Yan to cede nearly 100 miles of land in five cities, and hundreds of thousands of Yan people were incorporated into the household registration of the state of Zhao.

The war dividends obtained by Zhao made the whole country extremely excited.

And that's not all.

Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao, sent an envoy to return to the Chu State, and actually brought a great joy to marry the eldest princess of the Chu State.

Zhao and Chu were allies.

However, the state of Zhao, which experienced the defeat of Changping, was far inferior to the state of Chu in terms of national strength, and this alliance relationship may not be so close.

Otherwise, when the Yan State attacked the Zhao State, the Chu State would not sit idly by.

Zhao Guo didn't expect that Gongzi Jia made an envoy to Chu and actually won the most favored daughter of the king of Chu.

It can be expected that as long as Zhao Jia marries the eldest princess of Chu, the alliance between the two countries will become extremely solid without direct interest disputes.

With the powerful ally of the Chu State, the Zhao State has some confidence even if it faces the Qin State again.

There is no doubt that King Zhao praised Zhao Jia for this matter, and he was not stingy, and asked people to go to Zhao with a large number of dowries, and with the most solemn etiquette, he married the eldest princess of Chu to Zhao State.

Gongzi Jia has once again become the focus of the entire Zhao Kingdom.

All of the above are happy events.

It's a pity that in addition to these happy events, Zhao Guo also encountered troubles.

Last year, because Li Mu was stationed in northern Xinjiang, he adopted a passive defense strategy to avoid the offensive Xiongnu soldiers, which caused the civil and military complaints of the Manchu Dynasty, and the voice of impeachment of Li Mu was endless.

Even the king of Zhao himself repeatedly blamed Li Mu and ordered him to send troops to resist the Xiongnu.

I never thought that Li Mu went his own way and ignored King Zhao's orders, which made more and more voices of the DPRK impeaching Li Mu.

In desperation, King Zhao had no choice but to recall Li Mu, relieve the other party of his military position, and send good generals to garrison northern Xinjiang.

As soon as Zhao State broke the Yan State, Lian Po was still besieging Yandu, and the Xiongnu took the opportunity to go south and plunder everywhere.

The newly replaced defenders of the northern frontier quickly recalled the 50,000 elites who were transferred by Li Muzheng, changed Li Mu's passive defense strategy in the past, and took the initiative to attack and fight with the invading Xiongnu.

With the good fighting of Zhao's soldiers, if the two sides really fight each other, even if most of the Huns are cavalry, the Zhao army may not be defeated.

It is a pity that the Hun cavalry came and went freely, and did not confront the soldiers of Zhao at all, but harassed and plundered everywhere.

The defenders of northern Xinjiang mobilized all the defenders, spent a lot of money and food, and chased and killed the Huns everywhere.

Only a year has passed, and most of the money and grain that Li Mu has accumulated over the years have been consumed by the northern Xinjiang guards.

And that's not all.

Because the Hun cavalry came and went freely, when the defenders of Zhao State dispersed the pursuit, they often encountered the fleeing squad of Hun cavalry suddenly killed, and then quickly left after killing several people in a surprise attack.

Even though the casualties of the Zhao army were not many each time, after a year-long tug-of-war, the soldiers of the Zhao State also accumulated thousands of casualties.

In just one year, there were such huge casualties, even far more than the casualties of the Zhao army that Li Mu had been stationed in northern Xinjiang for several years.

Until this time, the defenders of Northern Xinjiang, who were tired of running for their lives but had no way to obtain military exploits, finally remembered Li Mu, who had been ridiculed by himself and others.

Although Li Mu was timid and afraid of war, at least he let the defenders of northern Xinjiang live well, and there were no casualties for many years.

The most important thing is that during Li Mu's garrison in northern Xinjiang, due to the timely preparation and evacuation, although the people were aggrieved, they were able to hide in Wubao in time, and their lives and property did not suffer much loss.

It's a pity that the newly replaced northern Xinjiang guards only thought about taking the initiative to hunt down the Huns, and did not pay too much attention to the safety of the lives and property of the people.

This also led to the fact that within a year, when the Huns plundered south, they plundered a large amount of property and population.

The guards guarded against the Xiongnu, which led to complaints among the people, and even refused to continue to pay taxes to the border guards.

The people remembered Li Mu's goodness, and even jointly asked King Zhao to reactivate Li Mu.

The so-called will of the people cannot be violated.

At this time, in northern Xinjiang, both the sergeants and the common people were extremely dissatisfied with the newly appointed guards, and King Zhao was forced to summon Li Mu again.

King Zhao's Palace.

"My lord, I went to see General Li several times, but General Li always claimed to be ill and closed the door."

The eunuch lowered his head, his voice a little frightened.

"Bang!"

When King Zhao heard this, he was annoyed, picked up the bamboo slips on the desk, and smashed them towards the ground.

"Li Mu is too much."

"The widow has repeatedly invited him to serve in northern Xinjiang, but he doesn't even want to see the widow's face, which is simply unreasonable!"

King Zhao's chest rose and fell violently, obviously full of anger.

"Grandson to meet the royal father!"

At this moment, Zhao Jia walked in, looked at the angry King Zhao, and bowed quietly.

After seeing Zhao Jia, King Zhao's face soothed a little.

He waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, and then said: "Jia'er, in the past year, the Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang have been on the border one after another, and the defenders have repeatedly faced each other, but they have been defeated again and again. ”

"Now the military and people in northern Xinjiang are complaining, and they all hope that the widow can reactivate Li Mu."

"It's a pity that Li Mu doesn't give face to the widow too much, and the widow has repeatedly sent people to invite him with kind words, but the other party can't see him."

"You say, what should a widow do!"

Looking at King Zhao, who was a little angry, Zhao Jia was not confused by the other party.

Zhao Jia knew that King Zhao deliberately behaved like this in order to trick himself.

Because Zhao Jia has a close relationship with Li Mu, almost everyone knows about this matter, and King Zhao deliberately did this, and he also wanted Zhao Jia to personally invite Li Mu out of the mountain.

Zhao Jia saw through this and remained silent.

King Zhao pretended to be angry and walked around the hall, but after a long time, he didn't see Zhao Jia take the initiative to ask for help, and he immediately couldn't pretend to be a little embarrassed.

He came to Zhao Jia's side and said in a deep voice: "Jia'er, the widow heard that you have a very good personal relationship with Li Mu, can you tell the widow whether Li Mu is really in good health?" ”

Zhao Jia lowered his head and said: "Father Wang, General Li is not ill, but just has a heart disease. ”

"If you don't get rid of your heart disease, how can you lead the troops!"

King Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "But is it because of the fact that the widow went to his official position and seized his military power?" ”

Zhao Jia shook his head.

King Zhao pondered his eyebrows and asked again: "But because of the battle of Daijun, the widow credited all the credit to Le Cheng, and did not reward Li Mu?" ”

Zhao Jia still shook his head.

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhao Jia raised his head and said softly: "Above the court, almost everyone has a lot of complaints about General Li Mu, thinking that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and timid and afraid of war. ”

"Back then, it was precisely because of the successive impeachments of the Manchu Dynasty that the royal father had to summon General Li Mu to return to Handan."

"If in the future, General Li Mu still acts according to his previous actions, and when the Manchu Dynasty is impeached again, what will the royal father do?"
