Chapter 4: Receiving treacherous words from above the court
After a while, I saw a man in official uniform, swaggering out of the queen mother's bedroom, Li Mu was sure that this person was Chunpingjun Undoubtedly, after Chunpingjun left, Li Mu and Guo Kai walked out of the harem and returned to the carriage, Guo Kai saw Li Mu depressed, and said: "Wu Anjun can trust Guo Kai this time?" Li Mu nodded, Guo Kai continued: "Now the affairs of the DPRK and China, only I am struggling to support, no confidant, sometimes I am thinking, it is better to let them kill me, let me be out of sight and out of mind!"
Li Mu said generously: "Don't worry, the prime minister, I, Li Mu, will never let them usurp the throne, as long as the prime minister is for the country and the people, I, Li Mu, am willing to be the right and right!"
Guo Kai grabbed Li Mu's hand and said with emotion: "With Wu Anjun's approval, I will die without regrets!"
Guo Kai and Li Mu were in the same car, and after sending Li Mu back to the mansion, he turned around and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and once he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he entered the secret room directly, a Taoist wearing a cyan Taoist robe, had already been waiting in the secret room, this Taoist was wearing a Martian crown, his hair was in a towering bun, his sword eyebrows were flying obliquely, his face was cold, and when he saw Guo Kai coming in, he said in a deep voice: "Poor Dao has been waiting for a long time, is things going well?"
Guo Kai smiled and said: "It's a shame that Chunpingjun has such a handle in my hands, and now Li Mu has seen it all, and he is convinced of Bencheng, as long as Li Mu is against it, those puppets will not dare to act rashly, and when the time is ripe, I will get rid of them one by one!"
Tsing Yi said: "My king is ready to send troops to conquer again, since you have stabilized the situation, don't let Li Mu lead the troops this time, Li Mu is brave and good at fighting, and he uses soldiers like a god, which is a big obstacle for my Qin State to unify the six countries of Shandong." β
Guo Kaidao: "This is difficult, Li Mu is now in power, as long as he asks Ying to fight, who can oppose it in the court, Ben Cheng thinks that this matter is better to be suspended, and after I get rid of these henchmen and isolate Li Mu, I will weaken Li Mu's military power and let him guard Yanmen Pass, and then everything will be in my hands." β
Tsing Yi said: "No, the world is divided, the people are miserable, my king can't wait, you must do everything you can, either to seize the power of Li Mu's army, or to ...... Get rid of Li Mu!"
Guo Kaiwei was embarrassed: "Dao Chief, this ......"
The Taoist of Tsing Yi said coldly: "I have found the person of the yin and yang community that the prime minister wants, and now he is in the prime minister's bedroom, and the prime minister can enjoy it with confidence, but my king's major affairs must not be delayed!"
Guo Kai said in surprise: "Qingyang Dao Chang is really a god, and he actually found another one, Dao Chang is kind, Ben Cheng is very grateful, and he will definitely live up to his high hopes!"
People who cultivate the truth should ignore the world, devote themselves to cultivation, and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, but Qin State does not know what method to use, recruited some people who cultivate the truth, used their cultivation skills, secretly probed the news, and spared no expense to buy off the important ministers of the six countries, do their internal response, and even carry out assassination operations, Qingyang learned that Guo Kai did not like women, and he was interested in playing with yin and yang, so he searched all over the country to find such strange people for Guo Kai to have fun.
......
Li Mu returned to the mansion, feeling deeply tired, and came to Nalan Xue's bedroom, and learned that Li Shu had woken up, and his heart was a little calm, and he fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning of the second day, it rained continuously, like smoke like a dream, Handan City changed into green clothes, quietly, Li Mu woke up, saw that Nalan Xue had brought breakfast to the bedside, after freshening up, after finishing breakfast, thinking about yesterday's things in the study, faintly feeling that he was being invisibly fiddled, but he really couldn't think of the reason, at this time, the doorman said: "The king ascended to the dynasty, the edict met the civil and military officials, and there were important things to discuss." β
Li Mu thought to himself: "Why did my king go to court today, did he know that someone was going to launch a coup d'Γ©tat?" hurriedly changed into a battle robe, and came to the palace door quickly, after dismounting, he quickly walked into the political hall, the civil and military officials in the hall stood in two rows on both sides, the civil officials Guo Kai and Chunping Jun were in the first place, the military attache Pang Xuan was in the first place, and the first vacancy in the row where Sima Shang was located, this position was reserved for Wu Anjun, after Li Mu returned to the throne, the personnel had basically arrived, at this time King Zhao moved into the palace, and the ministers knelt down to ask for peace, and after the flat body, Zhao Wangqian sat on the dragon chair and said impatiently: "Hurry up, retreat from the court as soon as possible!"
Pang Xuan came out of the ranks, and said loudly: "The frontier guards have just come to report, the Qin army of 200,000 troops, the soldiers are divided into two routes, one is Ye Jin to the north to cross the Zhangshui, approaching my Handan, and the other is going out of the party, approaching the Jingcheng Pass, attacking my Handan's back, making my Handan belly and back to the enemy, intending to take my Handan, destroy my Zhao State, now my king convened all the ministers to discuss, how to deal with the Qin army's attack!"
Chun Pingjun came out and said: "The Qin State has been trying to destroy the Six Kingdoms for a long time, although our Zhao army has been greatly boosted by the battle of Wu'an Jun Feicheng, but the strength is far less than the Qin army.
Zhao Cong said: "Wei and South Korea are afraid of Qin, the first rat at both ends, every critical moment, as long as the Qin army puts pressure or tempts it, it will miss the agreement and withdraw the army, this history has happened many times, is not our lesson enough, besides, unite these two countries, they either have no food or no horses, this grain and grass, horses left to our Zhao army to kill the enemy, it is ten times stronger than them, I oppose the union!" someone chimed in: "Yes!" "Yes!"
Chun Pingjun asked coldly: "If this method doesn't work, then General Zhao has a strategy to break the enemy?"
Zhao Cong said: "There is no winner on the battlefield, in the battle of Changping, although my Zhao army was defeated, but the Qin army was also greatly damaged, I think we should sue for peace, send people to Xianyang to negotiate, let Qin retreat." As soon as the words came out, they were immediately scolded by everyone.
Sima Shang scolded: "The battle hasn't been fought yet, you are a bad seed, your legs are weak, you ask for peace, you go to Xianyang to lick Yingzheng's ass and ask for peace!"
Zhao Cong said angrily: "Sima Shang, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, you don't know how to do it, you know the material, money and food lost in this battle, this is how many times higher than asking for peace, you fucking know how to fight!"
Sima Shang said angrily: "Can't the general fight the general, where in the world is there a shrunken general like you, a birdman with soft wings!"
When Zhao Cong heard this, he couldn't bear it, and scolded angrily and wanted to rush to Sima Shang, but was stopped by the ministers.
Sima Shang shouted: "You let him come, I will smash his turtle shell with one punch!" said as he rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Li Mu and Pang Xuan.
Zhao Wangqian stood up and pointed at the two of them, and said angrily: "You go out to set up a life and death situation, kill one, and one less, so as to save you from yelling here and disturbing the purity of this king, quickly discuss countermeasures, and if you go on like this, retreat from the dynasty!"
Guo Kai said: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister thinks that this is nothing to discuss, Zhao and Qin have always been soldiers to see the truth, just send troops, although my Zhao State is not strong enough, but my Zhao army is one as ten, when are you afraid of the Qin army, if you advocate a person who is in harmony, you can send envoys to Han and Wei, if you want to seek peace, go to Xianyang, but no matter what you want to do now, you must first send troops to resist the Qin army!" Some ministers echoed.
Zhao Wangqian pointed at Zhao Cong and the others again, and praised Guo Kai: "Look at it...... , or the prime minister is wise, the rest of you are all wine bags and rice bags, if you don't have any ability, you will shout in front of this king, you want to die or live, don't ask me about such things in the future, just ask the prime minister!"
Guo Kai bowed his hand and said, "How dare Weichen dare to do such a big thing!" straightened up, "It is imperative that Your Majesty select a person to lead the troops to resist Qin." β
Pang Xuan said: "Of course it's Wu Anjun, is there any other candidate?"
Li Mu came out and said: "I would like to go!" Li Mu came back for the past few days, and saw that Zhao Guo was in a mess, forming parties for personal gain, and intriguing, and he couldn't wait to leave this place of power immediately.
Guo Kai hurriedly gave Li Mu a look, signaling that it was not possible, Li Mu somehow, frowned slightly, and thought: "Why not, does he have another plan?"
Zhao Wangqian said: "That's good, since Wu Anjun is willing to go, I don't have anything to do, retreat!" said and was about to leave.
Guo Kai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, slow down!"
Zhao Wangqian said unhappily: "Prime Minister, what else do you want?"
Guo Kaidao: "The minister also inquired about the news, the Hun army wants to press into my Yanmen Pass, the Huns are not better than our Huaxia, this is a foreign race, more fierce than the Qin army, if the Yanmen Pass misses, my Zhao State is in danger, but if you send troops to defend, it will inevitably involve a lot of troops, so that we can not go all out to resist Qin, the minister has a plan, can solve this difficulty." β
Zhao Wangqian said: "Say it quickly!"
Guo Kaidao: "The Huns are afraid of my Zhao State Wu Anjun, ten years do not dare to attack, this time to attack, but also know that Wu Anjun is not in Yanmen Pass, if Wu Anjun appears in the city of Yanmen Pass, how dare the Huns attack easily, as long as Wu Anjun goes to Yanmen Pass alone, it is enough to deter the Huns, so that we can use the main force of the whole army to meet the Qin army, Your Majesty thinks this is what you think?"
Zhao Wang Qian said happily: "Clever plan! Use this plan!" The ministers nodded in praise.
Li Mu originally wanted to lead the army to resist Qin, this is his life's long-cherished wish, and now through Guo Kai's words, not only lost the opportunity, but also was deprived of military power, and said in his heart: "People say that Guo Kai is treacherous, this person is really difficult to figure out, he is trying to win me over and suppress me on the other hand, what is his intention." "If you want to continue to fight, Zhao Wangqian has already agreed, and the other ministers have not strongly recommended him, and he is isolated by the ministers for a while.
Guo Kaidao: "Since General Pang Xuan wants to go to Hezong, naturally he can't lead troops, and now there are only two left, Sima and General Zhao." β
Sima Shang said: "I would like to go, but I just ......"
Zhao Wangqian said: "It's just what, I order you to go out tomorrow and retreat!" After speaking, he rushed away.
Sima Shang knew that he was not as good as Li Mu with troops, and he wanted to fight for Li Mu, but Zhao Wangqian had already issued an edict, and Sima Shang had to follow, after retiring from the dynasty, Sima Shang wanted to contact Li Mu alone, but when he saw Li Mu being called by Guo Kai, he shook his head, sighed, and walked away.
Guo Kai called Li Mu aside and said, "How can Ben Cheng not understand Wu Anjun's intentions, but for the sake of the country's survival, he can only temporarily wronged Wu Anjun!"
Li Mu smiled bitterly: "As long as I go for the sake of Zhao Guo, I will go wherever I want, I will leave tomorrow and rush to Yanmen Pass, Prime Minister, farewell!"
After seeing Li Mu leave, Guo Kai breathed a long sigh of relief and said in his heart: "This pillar of Zhao State was replaced by me like this." β
Li Mu returned to the mansion and packed his bags, and Nalan Xue asked, "The general is leaving again?"
Li Mu sighed: "My king asked me to go to Yanmen Pass alone to defend against the Xiongnu. So he told Nalan Xue about the court and yesterday's events.
After hearing this, Na Lanxue said: "Since this is the case, how about I go with you this time?"
Li Mu said: "Then how to do it, the obstacle is not in good health, the road is bumpy and tired, if you are infected with the cold, how can you bear it!"
Nalan Xue sighed, her eyes full of tears, "I'm afraid that the time of the handicap is running out, he has hardly left the house since he was born, and he has never seen the scenery outside, I want to take him for a walk." β
Li Mu was melancholy for a long time, "It's okay, then I will also do my duty as a father and accompany him through the rest of the road to see if he can forgive me as a father." β
The next day, when the sun was rising, Sima Shang ordered 100,000 elite soldiers, opened the city gate and set out to fight, Sima Shang saw Li Mu driving a carriage, marching on the side, and came to his side and said: "I wanted to fight on the battlefield with Wu Anjun this time, but I didn't expect the king to separate you and me, without your control, I led the troops to fight alone, but there is no bottom in my heart!"
Li Mudao: "I am also very worried, although the general is brave and good at fighting, but one army is alone against two roads, it is difficult to deal with it, and if it is not good, it will be attacked by the enemy, but my king has issued an edict, it is difficult to change it!"
At this time, I heard the voice of a child in the carriage, "Father, can you call by name?"
Li Mu looked back and smiled: "How can your father care about that false name!"
"Father wants to fight this battle?"
Li Mu smiled again: "Of course I want to!"
"General Sima can agree to fight alongside my father!"
Sima Shang had never heard of Li Mu having a son, so he looked at Li Mu suspiciously: "Who is this boy, is it Ling Lang?"
Li Mudao: "It's the dog, Li Barrier, but his body is weak, his mobility is inconvenient, and he is unknown." β
Sima Shang didn't expect that Li Mu actually had a son, and smiled in the car: "Of course I want to fight with your father, why do you have any ideas?"
Li Jian asked, "How many days will Jingcheng arrive at Yanmen Pass?"
Li Mu said: "Fast horse, half a day!"
"The invasion of the Qin army, must have bought Guo Kai, Guo Kai squeezed out General Pang Xuan, took away my father, the main army led by General Sima, on the surface is a last resort, in fact, the intention is obvious, is to destroy the country, is to make General Sima isolated, just like General Zhao Kuo back then, bury the whole army, leave infamy, there are four reasons, first, how can such a big war replace the commander of the Qin army who has just been defeated, second, when the Huns do not come, why do they come at this time, and the Huns and Qin have always been at odds, if you know that the Qin army attacks Zhao, they will take the lead in attacking Qin, third, General Sima alone blocks two sides, one side can not be prevented, it will be defeated, fourth, take this opportunity to relieve my father's military power, clear the threat to him, and he can rest easy in the court. β
Sima Shang listened to Li Xuan's analysis, and suddenly realized that he was empowered, and said fiercely: "Guo Kai, a traitor, if you don't kill him in the future, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!"
Li Mu stroked his beard, he didn't expect his son to analyze Guo Kai's plan so thoroughly, and he couldn't help but look at his son differently.
Sima Shang looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "It's really a tiger father without a dog!" and asked, "Then do you have a countermeasure?"
"Guo Kai's calculation is almost seamless, but he ignores one point, Jingcheng is only half a day's journey from Yanmen Pass, my father can completely block the north road for General Sima, as long as 50,000 personal soldiers are handed over to my father's deputy general, stationed in Jingcheng, my father can command in the military tent, resist the Qin army, General Sima only needs to defend the bank of the Weishui River to rely on the Great Wall, wait for my father to repel the Qin army on the north road, and the general retreats on the south road. β
Sima Shang clapped his hands and exclaimed, and suddenly wondered: "Although this plan is wonderful, but there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be no leakage, how can King Zhao explain there, besides, if the Huns come to attack, Wu Anjun will leave the battle, and the sin will be great." β
"The Huns may not come to attack, if they come, my father alone, hundreds of Zhao soldiers, how can they hold the Yanmen Pass, as long as my father takes us to settle down, after settling down, pretend to be infected with the cold, and then hide and leave, rush to Jingcheng, the general in the secret sent someone to secretly respond, who can observe, even if it is detected, it can also atone for the crime!"
Sima Shang shouted, "Wonderful!
"Eight!" ......
Sima Shang 'ah' and laughed, "It's really the waves behind the river pushing the waves ahead, you will definitely become the pillar of Zhao in the future, haha, Zhao has been saved!"
Li Mu listened to Sima Shang's praise for his son, and after being happy, he thought that his son was young and would soon die, and his heart was desolate.
......
The sun sets on the long river, the desert is lonely, along the way, Wuji always opens the curtains and looks out, not knowing that God will leave him a few days of happiness.
Li Mu really wanted to eliminate the estrangement with his son and enhance the relationship between father and son, but for him, it was more difficult than fighting on the battlefield, and he was unobtrusive and silent, which made it difficult for Li Mu to have the opportunity to talk. β
Arrive at Yanmen Pass, the mountains rise and fall, stirring thousands of miles, the city wall rises on the steep mountain, the city gate falls in the ravine, it is really a man who can not be opened.
After settling down, Li Mu saw the soldiers guarding the city, these soldiers were all Li Mu's subordinates, and when he learned that Li Mu was here, he had already prepared a banquet, and rushed forward to toast, and his joy was indescribable.
Li Mu happily drank a few glasses of the soldiers' toast, and after giving some orders, he pretended to be ill, left to rest, and waited for the soldiers' banquet to disperse, and while the night was dark, Pegasus rushed to Jingcheng.
After arriving at Jingcheng, there were already people secretly received, secretly entered the camp, learned that the Qin army was about to arrive in Fanwu, Li Mu secretly went to check the terrain, did not wait for the Qin army to be stationed and launched a fierce attack on the Qin army, the Qin army was defeated again and again, and has been retreating backwards, people are sleepy and lacking, the more they retreat, the more chaotic, countless casualties, the road is full of corpses of the Qin army, and finally had to withdraw the army, go around to the south bank of Weishui and join the main force.
Li Mu led the army to chase until Weishui, the Zhao army killed the red eye, and after the unity of Sima Shangbing, the main force of the Qin army was defeated in the south, and the main force of the Qin army was defeated as soon as it came into contact, and had to retreat.
Knowing that Sima Shang defeated the Qin army, the whole country of Zhao rejoiced, but he didn't know that there was another Yanmen Pass, and the crisis quietly came.
