Half an hour later, Le Cheng met Li Mu, the chief general of the Korean army. According to custom, Lecheng knelt on one knee and offered his sword as a sign of submission. After seeing Li Mu's perfect command and bold use of troops, Lecheng had long selectively ignored Li Mu's youth. After all, the military is a place where the strong are respected. The same army of 50,000 and the same 10,000 cavalry, Li Mu won and he lost, this reason is enough.

Li Mu also unceremoniously took Le Cheng's sword, drew his sword, and danced a sword flower lightly and put it into the sheath. The whole action was done in one go, like a cloud of water flowing in the same direction, and the people around me were stunned. Lecheng did not change his face, his heart did not beat, and he turned a blind eye.

"The general's sword is sharp!" Li Mu sighed softly, and resolutely held up Lecheng with both hands.

Le Cheng naturally heard that Li Mu was praising himself by praising the sword. Although he took advantage of the situation, Le Cheng bowed down and humbly replied: "The general of the defeated army is not brave in front of the general!" ”

In the next second, Li Mu Zhengse said: "It's a pity, although the sword is sharp, it has chosen the wrong master!" The implication of this sentence is even more obvious, it is clearly that Lecheng should not play for Zhao Guo! There is a regret that the jewel is dusty!

Lecheng's body trembled, and he said abruptly: "King Zhao treats me like a mountain, the soldier is a confidant who dies, and the woman is the one who pleases himself." It is useless for the general to say more, King Zhao will not live up to me, I will never fail King Zhao! After speaking, he raised the saber above his head again, and his words were meant to excuse himself.

Le Cheng thought to himself that as long as Li Mu accepted his sword, he would officially become a prisoner of the Han army. The surrender ceremony was over. If it weren't for the fear that the Han army would regret killing the prisoners, Le Cheng didn't want to endure the humiliation and stay in Li Mu's Chinese army tent.

Li Mu shook his head lightly and said, "General Muguan is very cautious in his soldiers! If it weren't for the restraint of Plains Jun, the outcome would have been five or five. Even if the general is defeated, the whole army will not be wiped out like this! ”

This is a compliment to the other party, of course Li Mu knows how unwilling Lecheng is in his heart. Especially losing to himself at a younger age than him. Find some reasons for the defeat of the other party, no matter how much the other party does not accept it, it will be better in his heart.

Le Cheng's expression softened slightly, and said: "The generals are like gods, and I am ashamed of myself." If nothing else, it should have been the general's surprise soldiers who attacked my camp from the north! Take a detour of hundreds of miles. What a stroke of genius! At the beginning, Pingyuan Jun built yì out of Wu'an City to contain your army, and I also agreed. Defeat is defeat, there is no need to find a reason. ”

The implication is to tell Li Mu that Lecheng's original idea was to stick to Wu'an. If this is the case, Li Mu's division of troops to run long distances will have no effect at all. With the fortified city in hand, the surprise attack of the South Korean army had no effect. If you want to threaten Handan, you must pull out the stronghold of Wu'an.

It is safer to defend the Zhao army in Wu'an, but it will lose face. Anyway, in Pingyuanjun's opinion, the number of Han troops is not more than his own. He did not move for half a month, showing that he was afraid of himself, and it was better to go out of the city and form a fortress, which could not only deter the Korean army with a greater earthquake, but also restrict the freedom of the Korean army and show the prestige of the Zhao army. It was based on such considerations that Zhao Jun caused a catastrophe.

Li Mu smiled with satisfaction. Before he could speak, he heard Le Cheng's question: "Did the general really kill Pingyuan Jun?" ”

I heard a slightly hurried and nervous voice. Li Mu asked with interest: "Then does the general want Pingyuanjun to live or die?" ”

Lecheng was silent. Emotionally speaking, Lecheng naturally hopes that Pingyuanjun will be safe. After Le Yi's death, his position has not been promoted. It was only after taking refuge in Pingyuanjun that he rose to his current position. Although he has always been known as the vice general of Zhao Guo (Lian Po is the main general, everyone can understand that Zhao Guo has the first choice of war soldiers) rarely has the opportunity to lead the troops alone, and he fell to the third position after the rise of Zhao Hao, but he cannot deny the kindness of Pingyuan Jun to his own experience.

(Speaking of which.) Yan Zhou was about to cry silently, King Zhao didn't express his great contribution to conquering Gaotang, and the record of himself in the history books was even more than a word. Labor and management are ranked third after Lecheng! Now, of course, it's the fourth general. There is no chance of leading troops alone! In the past, there was a war, and he couldn't rob Lian Po, but now he can't rob Zhao Hao. It feels like I won't love anymore! ）

Although the Plains Monarch abandoned the army to break through first, that was also his own idea, wasn't it?! It can be said that King Zhao sent troops to rescue the army, and it is none other than Pingyuan Jun! On the contrary, if Pingyuanjun falls into a heavy siege and the political arena of Zhao is in turmoil, the originally simple things will become twists and turns.

"The people of Plains Junji have their own natural appearance! I'm afraid the general is deceiving us! Lecheng said with some emotion.

Li Mu smiled and said frankly: "Indeed! Pingyuan Jun's guards were loyal, and the ambush soldiers I sent out only left more than half of the Zhao army. Now Pingyuan Jun is afraid that he has arrived in Handan. ”

Le Cheng sighed, and Li Mu took advantage of the situation and said: "Just now the general said that Zhao Guo will not live up to the general, and the general will not live up to Zhao Guo. But what if Zhao Guo loses the general? Hehe, if Zhao Guo really trusts the general, why should he let the general of the plain army lead the army to assist? Just like that Zhao Hao, as a remote member of the royal family, he became the main general after a few wars, and no matter how famous Yan Zhou is, he can only be a deputy general! Mu is also a native of Zhao and knows that it is not easy to lead troops in Zhao State. General Lian Po is so famous, and it is not because of the defeat in World War I that he left the clouds! If Zhao Hao is defeated, I'm afraid it won't be this treatment. ”

Lecheng was silent for a long time, but he was speechless. What Li Mu said is good, it is really not easy to be promoted and promoted in the army in Zhao State, and the locals of Zhao State are better, if it is a person from another country, the difficulty will be added by three points. Many people are stuck in the position of a thousand generals and cannot advance an inch. With the same amount of credit, in terms of the priority of promotion, the people of the Zhao clan have the highest priority, the second of the Zhao country, and the second of other countries. The army was naturally divided into two factions, the poor class and the noble class. For most people, it is not easy to achieve 1,000 people, and naturally there are not many to worry about. Further up, many people simply don't care. Contradictions are thus hidden.

But this can't hide the shortcomings of the Zhao military, looking at the Zhao military captains and above, most of them are people from the Zhao family, and even if they are not, most of them are from the noble sect. There is no one from other countries, and there is not one in ten people from civilian backgrounds! Lian Po is a special case. However, it is also more crowded. Zhao Guo always felt that he would gain more loyalty by using his own people. If you don't have a strong background, becoming a lieutenant in Zhao Guo will be the end. This is the reason why Yan Zhou is not reused, and Zhao Hao is very favored by King Zhao!

As for whether Li Mu said that Zhao Guo would live up to him, Lecheng didn't care. Nearly 20,000 troops fell into the hands of South Korea, which was a big bargaining chip. It is impossible for Zhao Guo not to try to redeem the soldiers, naturally including himself! I can be regarded as repaying Pingyuan-kun. It's impossible for Plains-kun to ignore himself! It's a big deal to go back and hibernate for a few years, go to guard the border like Lian Po, and wait for the opportunity to redeem this defeat with a big victory.

Seeing that Le Cheng's expression was complicated but he didn't say anything, Li Mu knew that the time had not come, and he didn't force it, took the sword in Le Cheng's hand, and sighed: "General, go down and rest!" One day, you will understand my good intentions! ”

Lecheng hugged his fists. Without words, he walked straight out.

Han Teng finally had a chance to speak, and smiled puzzledly: "The general really wants to recruit Le Cheng?" ”

Li Mu nodded and replied: "I'm also thinking about South Korea, Wang Shang just sent a message that Meng Lang Zhongling has taken Chengdu, and Shu County will be included in my Korean territory in less than a month." The bigger the territory, the more forces need to be guarded. When I was in Zhao Kingdom, I heard that Lecheng was the best at defending with soldiers, and this time we were lucky to win by three points. ”

Han Teng nodded. There is no rebuttal. The battlefield is judged by victory and defeat, and victory is victory. Even if it's an adventure. If you succeed in your adventure, you will be a great success. Change to another person, let him take risks and not dare to take risks! Han Teng only thought that Li Mu was modest.

"Guarding these captives, we are afraid that we will have to leave more than 5,000 troops. In this way, we can attack Handan with a maximum of 30,000 troops. Do you want to wait for reinforcements from behind or set off first? Han Teng asked a more meaningful question.

After Zhao lost Wu'an, the west gate of Handan had been opened. At this time, I didn't go to Handan to walk around, showing off Zhao Guo's words. Han Teng himself will not forgive himself!

"Soldiers, you are fast! Changping's army of 20,000 has set out. Let's go to Handan for a walk first. Zhao Guo is already a frightened bird, and he can't give them a chance to breathe! Li Mu said confidently.

"Just in line with the last general's wishes! The last general is willing to be the vanguard and sweep the small Xiaoxiao around Handan for the army! ”

Li Mu smiled, thinking that there was nothing more exciting for the Korean people than the Korean iron cavalry encircling Handan. Taking Bashu this time, South Korea's territory can be said to have increased by one-third. It's really in everyone's interest. But repeated defeats of the Qin state were nothing new to Korea. In contrast, the encirclement of the capital of a country, especially the capital of Zhao, can stimulate the sense of honor of the whole of Korea. You must know that before this, only the powerful Wei State, which has been looking down on the world for a while, can do this! Now, South Korea has done the same!

But Li Mu still asked with concern: "Do you want to take a break?" After all, after a long journey of 800 miles, and just experienced a big battle, if the soldiers are too tired, it will not be good for the war behind! ”

Han Teng shook his head resolutely, and even stood up excitedly and retorted, "General don't worry! The morale of our Yulin army is high, and if we are not allowed to send troops, there will be resistance! The military heart is available, what is this fatigue! What's more, we have also made rests along the way, and we will definitely not delay the battle later! ”

Seeing Han Teng's impatient appearance, Li Mu also understood that Han Teng would not let go of this opportunity to become famous. Becoming the first Korean army to encircle the enemy's capital is an honor that the Yulin Army deserves! Han Teng is a smart person, he won't make some big mistakes, so he just fulfills the other party!

"Go ahead! Be careful! Don't let Zhao Jun underestimate our Han Army! Li Mu finally nodded in agreement.

Han Teng was overjoyed and replied loudly: "Wow! ”

Zhao Guo, Handan.

As Pingyuan Jun broke into the palace all the way, King Zhao's palace was already in chaos. The sky is already bright, and the morning has already set. Seeing Pingyuan Jun's face in Tieqing, some of the chamberlains who guessed that the battle ahead was unfavorable still wanted to know more about it, but they were frightened by Pingyuan Jun's cold "roll" word. The angry Plains King fought all the way into the palace, and no one dared to stop him along the way. Everyone knows that Pingyuanjun is the prime minister of Zhao State, and he is the trusted brother of King Zhao, except for the dutiful guards who tried to stop him but were taken down by the Pingyuanjun guards behind him, Pingyuanjun came to the dormitory of King Zhao "recuperating" unimpeded.

The eunuch came to King Zhao, who was supposed to be "recuperating", and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! Big things are wrong! ”

King Zhao, who was annoyed by the rumors in the city, handed over all the court affairs to the prince to deal with, and wanted to rest for a few days, but he didn't expect to be chatting with his concubine to the fullest, and he was disturbed by the noise of the eunuch order in a panic. Damn it! Do you really think that Zhao Guo is not in charge of himself? King Zhao's murderous machine flashed.

Eunuch Ling naturally didn't expect that he had already walked around the ghost gate. Dancing like a hand, a shocking news broke out - Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, broke into the palace with a soldier of armor, intending to rebel!

King Zhao was immediately stupid, his most trusted and relied on Wang Brother actually wanted to rebel against him, and he was about to kill his own bedroom! That's impossible! This was King Zhao's first reaction. He has already given all his powerful position to Pingyuan-kun! Why did he rebel?! Do you want your own throne? Then King Zhao was furious! Could it be that Pingyuan Jun controlled Wu'an's 50,000 army and gave birth to bad intentions? I want to take advantage of the God-given opportunity of my disgrace to change the court. Sounds like, this is a possibility! As long as Plains-kun can come to an agreement with Korea, like the Dune Rebellion. Come to force the palace, this throne is not up to him!

Annoyed and angry, King Zhao's face turned extremely rosy, and he said in a thick voice: "Spread the decree!" Go and preach the message! The widow will summon the king's teacher! ”

I must not be like my father and starve to death in the sand dunes! Definitely not! King Zhao secretly roared in his heart.

The eunuch was about to step out, but suddenly realized. If Pingyuan-kun rebelled, he must have made the most appropriate arrangements! Up and down this Handan, where is there still King Zhao who can control the army!

At this time, a heavenly voice sounded in the ears of the eunuch Ling - Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, had an urgent matter to see!

The eunuch Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at King Zhao for help. Zhao Wang Tie's face was blue. Almost shouted: "Xuan! The widow wants to see what this rebellious thief looks like! ”

After a while, Pingyuanjun, who was tied up, walked in, and as soon as he saw King Zhao, Pingyuanjun suddenly knelt on the ground, and whimpered in his mouth: "Your Majesty! The minister is guilty! The minister is guilty! ”

This drama was completely beyond King Zhao's expectations, and King Zhao had already imagined several scenes of meeting! For example, the king of Pingyuan righteously drew his sword and faced each other, claiming to avenge his father (that is, King Zhao Wuling)! For example, Pingyuan Jun arrogantly said that he endured humiliation. Finally, I waited until today, and Zhao Guo was a bright and bright country! But there is no scene where Pingyuan Jun bears the guilt of Jing Pleading.

"Could it be that the Plains Monarch has woken up and realized his way back?" King Zhao thought a little sluggishly. If that's the case. So how should I punish him? Killed? Seems too heavy. If you don't kill, it seems that it is difficult to calm your anger. Since he didn't know what to do with Pingyuanjun, King Zhao simply waited and watched the changes, wanting to hear why Pingyuanjun wanted to "rebel".

Pingyuan Jun had a bitter word in his heart, and under his defeat, he traveled a long way back to Handan. There was no respite in between. When I arrived in Handan, I don't know if I lost my mind or forgot to explain, so I took the armor to storm the palace. Those palace attendants and guards were also, but they didn't resist much because of their usual Jiwei. Those guards behind him died so many robes, and they were in a bad mood. For those who dare to resist and block themselves, they will take it directly. All this naturally makes the eunuch Ling think that he is rebelling! By the time Pingyuan-kun realized this and came back to his senses, it was already too late.

What Pingyuan Jun saw was the frightened eunuch Ling who rushed into King Zhao's bedroom. This sucks! This was Hirahara-kun's first reaction! So many people along the way saw him trespassing into the palace, and this matter must not be good today. It's hard to argue with yourself, and you can't escape the charge of rebellion! But the problem is that Ping Yuanjun himself doesn't want to rebel at all, in this case, he can only stretch out his head with a knife and shrink his head with a knife, and he is guilty! So there is still a chance to live!

Looking at King Zhao, who was gradually regaining the majesty of the king of a country, Pingyuan Jun choked up while kowtowing: "The minister is incompetent! Wu'an has been broken by the Korean army! The ministers fought desperately to get out of the siege and broke into the palace to report the king's news! There is no redemption for a hundred deaths! Please ask the king's generals to clarify the canonical punishment and correct the law of the country! ”

King Zhao obviously subconsciously ignored the latter question, and instead stared at Pingyuan Jun in shock and asked, "What?!" Wu'an lost? ”

Wu'an has its own elite army of 50,000! How could it be lost?! A few days ago, I also got a battle report that the South Korean army was making slow progress and suffered heavy losses! How could it be a big victory for the Korean army and a big defeat for your own side in a blink of an eye! The ups and downs of this life are naturally stimulating, but King Zhao obviously can't stand such stimulation! First, Pingyuan Jun's inexplicable "rebellion", followed by the loss of Wu'an. What kind of thing is this?

Pingyuanjun said bitterly: "Yes! It's all strange that Weichen accepted General Lecheng's suggestion, and the main force went out of the camp to fight in the field with the Korean army! Unexpectedly, the South Korean army made a detour and attacked our army from the north! Caught off guard, our army was defeated. Weichen also knew that after the defeat, there was no danger to defend west of Handan, so he rushed back sixty miles to report the news and collided with the king! Please, the king, punish him heavily! ”

King Zhao said angrily: "Where is the army of widows?!" Don't sue the widows, these 50,000 troops are gone! ”

Pingyuan Jun was stunned for a moment, there was no news of the army breaking through along the way, and Le Cheng was afraid that it would be difficult to break through, but things were not so absolute, so he could only say in a stumbling voice: "Most of them are more than lucky!" Then he changed the topic and said: "Please immediately order Zhao Hao to return to Handan and close the four gates of Handan in case of accidents!" (To be continued......)

PS: I'm drunk and haven't come back to my senses for a day, hey
