"As for the question of how to transfer troops." The voice stopped and then continued to sound: "Pingyuan-kun, what do you think?" ”

Pingyuan Jun replied confidently: "Yanmen County is adjacent to Taiyuan County, and it is possible to temporarily transfer people from the northern parts of Taiyuan County that General Lian Po has been training for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Sima Xu Li hurriedly objected: "This matter must not be done, the soldiers and horses in the north of Taiyuan County are the most important emergency forces of the Shangdang defense line, if this part of the huge elite is lost, once the Qin State takes the opportunity to invade on a large scale, I am afraid that the entire Shangdang defense line will collapse!" ”

Hearing this, Ping Yuanjun explained disapprovingly: "Lord Xu's concern is not unreasonable, but there is also a way to solve it. The minister thought that as long as the battle against the Xiongnu was quickly resolved this time, the 100,000 troops would return to Taiyuan County immediately after the Xiongnu were expelled from the country, so as to avoid the situation that Lord Xu was worried about. ”

"And how long do you mean by quick fixes?" Zhao Weihou nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"A month!" Pingyuan-kun threw out the time that had already been calculated in his heart. As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone had a sense of absurdity.

Zhao Weihou couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and gave up this original method. "Tian Xiang, what do you think?" She turned her head to look at Tian Dan and asked.

Tian Dan pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The minister seconded the Pingyuan Jun, but the minister thought that the time could be relaxed to two months!" ”

"What about your reasoning?" Zhao Weihou couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Feng Ting, the county guard of the Shangdang County of South Korea, is a person with both talent and morality, and he should be able to resist the soldiers of the Qin State for at least a month." Tian Dan replied confidently.

"Who might be the general?" Zhao Wei continued to ask with relief: "The main general is the key to the success or failure of the war, and you need to recommend it carefully!" ”。

Hearing this, Pingyuan Jun took the lead in suggesting: "The minister thinks that the leader must be Tian Xiang, supplemented by Li Mu, the former Yanmen county guard who is familiar with the terrain and human feelings, I believe that such a combination will definitely be half the result!" ”

"I think this combination is good, so let's do it!" Zhao Weihou thought about it privately and then decisively.

A few minutes later, the edict was issued in court: Xiang Guotian single-led 100,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Taiyuan County to reject the Xiongnu, the former Yanmen County Commander Li Mufuzhi, Pingyuan Jun temporarily replaced the minister, and mobilized grain and grass in the rear.

After the court meeting, the residence of the plain king.

When the eunuch Ling handed over the edict to Li Mu with his own hands, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shed a little tears full of hardships when he saw this strong man.

From the position of the head of a county to the point of waiting to fill the vacancy, Zhao Sheng learned after some investigation that Li Mu had experienced unimaginable pain for most of the year. A series of sufferings and emotions such as the suspicion of those who do not know the truth, the cynicism of political enemies, the cold state of relatives, the hopeless fear of revitalizing the family, the guilt of failing to live up to their ancestors, and the resentment of not meeting their talents seem to be pressed on the thin body in front of him in an instant.

Although Li Mu in front of people still maintains an indifferent demeanor, how many people know Li Mu's unwillingness and resentment in the back? At least when Zhao Sheng found Li Mu in the countryside, he was so drunk that he didn't wake up; During the days when he lived in the Plains Monarch's Mansion, Zhao Sheng heard Li Mu secretly sobbing more than once.

Mencius said: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin. But Li Mu's experience made Zhao Sheng feel that God was too ruthless, why torture such a real man so much.

Zhao Sheng slowly walked to Li Mu's side, personally helped Li Mu, who couldn't sit on his knees, and said with a serious consolation: "All the past is in the past, and the future is beckoning to you." Although the new road is ahead, you still need to explore it yourself, take steps to step forward, and start from entering the palace. ”

"Thank you, Hirahara-kun!" Li Mu bowed to Zhao Shengji and said: "Today's grace of dripping water, he will repay it with a spring in the future!" ”

"Go ahead!" Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng said quite emotionally: "Remember to always be a good man who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic!" ”

"Childe's words must be kept in mind, and I will leave my humble position!" Li Mu shook again, and then straightened his chest and left the house.

"A man is alive, he should be like Li Mu!" Looking at the back in the distance, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

————————————————————————————————————

The majestic palace gate, the magnificent palace, and the slender palace maid, under the leadership of the eunuch order, Li Mu walked into the palace that had not been entered for many years. Li Mu, who had lived in the north for a long time, was a little rusty in terms of etiquette, and he followed the footsteps of the eunuch order step by step and arrived at the location of the highest tower in the palace.

"The king has been waiting for you on the balcony for a long time!" The eunuch Ling respectfully explained to Li Mu: "Go up quickly!" ”

Quickly rushing up the top floor along the steps, Li Mu saw Zhao Dan, who he hadn't seen for many years and had now become a king. "Minister Li Mu pays a visit to the king!" Li Mugong bowed respectfully, but was interrupted by Zhao Dan halfway.

Zhao Dan personally helped Li Mu up, and said: "Lonely and Qing are also teachers and friends, there is no need to be so polite when there is no one, just like when they intersected in the past!" ”

Li Mu stood up when he heard this, and simply bowed his hand to Zhao Dan and said, "Thank you for the king's love, the minister is grateful!" ”

Zhao Dan laughed when he heard this, and praised in his mouth: "This is the General Li Mu Li I know, bold and simple, chivalrous and righteous!" ”

"The king has praised falsely, all the past has passed, and the husband is born in the future, and everything should look forward!" Thinking of his former youth and frivolity, Li Mu said quite sentimentally when he heard this.

The keen Zhao Dan felt Li Mu's sadness, so he bowed his hand to Zhao Dan and said: "This time Qing was dismissed, it is really Lonely's fault, Lone apologizes to you here!" ”

Li Mu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly supported Zhao Dan, who was about to bow down, and said: "Don't dare to be the king!" ”

Zhao Dan saw that Li Mu hurriedly stopped him, and also said that now that his identity is different, he is not insisting. He pointed to Handan City in front of him with a little sadness and said, "What did Qing see?" ”

"The majestic and magnificent world, the industrious and brave people, live and work in peace and contentment." Li Mu replied without thinking.

"But what I see is the hearts of unpredictable people," Zhao Dan said with a sad expression: "Sitting in that position, you are destined to have no friends, and it seems that only intrigue is left between people." ”

"If the king doesn't dislike Weichen, the minister is willing to still regard the king as a friend!" Looking at Zhao Dan, who was much haggard when he was younger, Li Mu replied sincerely.

Zhao Dan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, hugged Li Mu, and said, "Good friend, good friend for life." ”
