Chapter Twenty-Three: Zhao Du Handan (Subscription Requested!)
"Childe, there is Wu'an in front. β
"It's almost time to get to Handan. β
Gu Cheng lifted his curtains, looked at Zhao Gao, who had taken care of everything in an orderly manner, and bowed his head.
In the first battle of Changping, the other attendants were so frightened that they were scared, but Zhao Gao has always lowered his eyebrows and served wholeheartedly, fulfilling his duty as a subordinate, and it is not for nothing that he can get all the trust of Hu Hai in history.
Of course, in this world, Zhao Gao is not just the head of internal affairs, so Gu Cheng ordered: "Go and see who Zhao sent to greet him." β
Zhao Gao received the order, and before an hour came, he came back and said: "Son, it is Li Mu who comes to greet you." β
"Oh?"
Gu Cheng's brows raised slightly.
In the future, Great Qin swept through the Six Kingdoms, and it was Zhao and Chu who could be called obstacles.
Corresponding to the generals, it is Li Mu and Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan didn't say that Li Mu was a world-famous general who was inseparable from Bai Qi.
The first battle of Changping actually cut off the national fortunes of Zhao, and the frontal battlefield was completely unmatched, so he could only send lobbyists to bribe Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju (jΕ«) with a lot of money, so that he slandered the king of Qin, so that the king of Qin did not adopt the suggestion of destroying Zhao in one fell swoop, and allowed Zhao to cede land and sue for peace.
Bai Qi had no choice but to retreat, and Zhao was only a delaying strategy, the Qin army just retreated, and broke the promise and refused to deliver the city, the king of Qin was furious, and then ordered the Qin army to attack Handan, which was a missed opportunity.
The other five countries felt that their lips were cold and their teeth were cold, and Xinling Jun even stole talismans to save Zhao and sent troops to help, coupled with the fact that Handan City, as the capital of a country, was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Qin army was at a loss and suffered a heavy defeat in the case of an elongated battle line.
This defeat also indirectly led to Bai Qi's death, the peerless famous general did not die on the battlefield, but died at the instigation of traitors, and Changping's hard bones gnawed down, but planted at the feet of the weak, which also delayed the domination of the world by Great Qin for decades.
Of course, although the reunification was delayed, but Zhao was no longer a strong country, when Qin and Yan formed an alliance, it was even afraid of Qin Wei and did not dare to attack Yan excessively, and the confrontation in recent years was even more victorious until the Battle of Yi'an commanded by Li Mu.
Historically, the battle broke out at the beginning of the fourteenth year of the reign of King Qin, when the Qin army crossed the Taihang Mountains and went deep into the rear of the Zhao State, broke the Zhao army, beheaded 100,000, and forced Handan again.
With that battle, Li Mu, who had already made great achievements, was awarded the title of Wu Anjun and reached the pinnacle of his life, so that when Wang Jian confronted him later, he also had to use a counter-strategy, so that King Zhao killed Li Mu and destroyed the city wall, so that he could quickly destroy Zhao and reduce casualties.
They are both the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, and they were both named Wu Anjun by their respective countries, and they also expanded their territory, attacked cities and plundered land, won a hundred battles, and never lost a single defeat in their lives, and the endings were all strikingly similar, Li Mu and Bai Qi were really sighing.
Now that Bai Qi is dead, Li Mu is still alive, and he has not yet been knighted, Gu Cheng is very interested in meeting this famous general.
"Li Mu is ordered by the king to greet the envoy of the Qin State!"
After a while, a team of elite Zhao soldiers came up.
The leader was in his fifties, with a broad face and an unconcealable look of wind and dust, although he looked tired, but a pair of deep eyes were still looking forward to the light, not angry but mighty.
This is Li Mu.
In the face of this veteran who defeated the Huns and fled in embarrassment, the arrogant Ganluo gave respect, dismounted early, and Gai Nie also stepped forward.
"General. β
"I've seen two deputy envoys. β
Li Mu followed the etiquette of receiving envoys throughout the whole process, neither arrogant nor humble, but the Zhao soldiers and Qin soldiers behind him looked coldly, revealing a very obvious hatred.
These soldiers are very young, generally no more than thirty years old, twenty years ago they were still children, watching their father and brother rush to the battlefield, never returned, now that they see the Qin people, naturally they can't hold back the hatred in their chests.
"Hey!"
Where can Ganluo allow the loser to be arrogant, and his eyes shoot a fine light like substance, and he sweeps it away.
Zhao Bing trembled all over, and avoided his gaze.
"I've seen Childe. β
Li Mu didn't stand up for his subordinates and came to the carriage.
"The general is polite!"
Gu Cheng glanced at Ganluo, who reined in his skills and sneered: "The general's command is worthy of being a soldier of a hundred battles against the Huns, and he is full of fighting spirit!"
"Cowardice and unscrupulousness are taboos for soldiers, how can these sons talk about a hundred battles, they praise it falsely!"
Li Mu spoke, but his heart moved.
Originally, he was most wary of Gai Nie, the heir of Guigu, followed by Gan Luo, who was accepted as a disciple by LΓΌ Buwei, as for the prince of Qin, it was just a symbol of status.
Unexpectedly, it seems that the most prestigious of these three people is actually the youngest Prince of Qin.
If it is possible for Gai Nie and Gan Luo to disguise, then the nearly 1,000 Qin soldiers will not be able to hide it from everyone, but their eyes are clearly in awe from the heart.
Is it the humility of the Qin State and the deep roots of the people, or is this prince of Qin really outstanding?
Just thinking about it, Gu Cheng had already returned to the carriage, and Gan Luo forced him over, tempting again and again.
Li Mu coped, his eyes calming again.
Under his escort, the people entered the city.
Handan, the capital of Zhao State, gives people the first impression of a high hall and a lot of floors, which is obviously more luxurious than the Xianyang building.
This is the difference between the east and the west, the six eastern countries have always paid attention to appearance, and they looked down on Qin in their hearts, and they were beaten and screamed by the Qin army, so they could only denounce it as the country of tigers and wolves.
After arriving at the mansion dedicated to entertaining the envoys, a group of gorgeously dressed maidservants were already waiting, and when they were able to enter the hall, they saw that they were even more elegantly furnished.
There are silk paintings hanging on the wall, the colors are bright, the ground is covered with big felt, the moire pattern, the color is plain, and several cabinets against the wall are full of treasures.
"Baiyue's fire rain agate, so clear, should be worth a thousand gold, right?"
Ganro picked it up and played with it.
Li Mu was silent.
Gan Luo smiled and asked again, "I wonder when King Zhao will see me and wait?"
Li Mu replied: "The affairs of the Great Kingdom are busy, and I am afraid that it will be postponed for a few days. β
Gan Luo said lightly: "Then I hope the general will tell you, Yan Guo can't wait that long!"
"Good. β
Li Mu arched his hand, turned around and strode away.
"It will be a famous general, but it's a pity that the lord of the country is mediocre, and let's see how long you can protect Zhao!"
A touch of coldness overflowed the corners of Ganluo's mouth.
The Luo Net organization not only supervised the Qin State for LΓΌ Buwei, but also spread all over the world, collecting intelligence, cultivating dark lines, before the envoy, he designed a detailed plan, this trip was successful, the most critical person was not King Zhao, but the doctor Guo Kai.
When King Zhao is now the crown prince, Guo Kai is the companion, and according to the information of Luo Net, King Zhao eats both men and women, Guo Kai has a soft appearance, and the relationship between the two is really sleeping together, and the ancient road is hot.
Of course, there is nothing good about Longyang in this era, the key is that some rumors of Guo Kai and King Zhao are unacceptable to individuals.
Gan Luo rolled his eyes and looked at Childe.
When the envoy visits the doctor, it is natural for the prince to come forward.
However, when Gu Cheng heard the beginning, he waved his hand: "You do something, I don't worry!"
Gan Luo looked at Gai Nie again, and Gai Nie arched his hand: "Practice the sword, say goodbye!"
"He's still a kid!"
Seeing Gan Luo's small body disappear into the cold wind, Gu Cheng gave a moment of sympathy and looked at Zhao Gao: "Handan City, are you familiar with it?"
Zhao Gao bowed: "Son, but there are orders, Gao will do his best!"
Gu Cheng asked, "How many places in Handan City can be spent a lot of money?"
Zhao Gao said without thinking: "Three places, Feixue Pavilion, Drunken Dream Building and Siyue Casino. β
"Go and take a closer look. β
Gu Cheng smiled: "It won't be long before we use it." β
