Chapter 41 The world's famous generals

Seeing the disapproval of these young generals, as if they felt that he was invincible and only played conspiracy, Xiang Shaolong chuckled lightly and said, "Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements." The two armies faced each other, I didn't think I was Li Mu's opponent, Lian Po held on, and I didn't have the confidence to break through the defense line. In terms of military talent, I think Li Mu is the first in the world, but I am full of confidence in my Great Qin to destroy Zhao, do you know why? ”

Everyone shook their heads and looked at Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong continued: "I said when I taught the prince that war has never been the goal, it is just a continuation of politics, the two countries are at war, not only the army, but also the national strength. And it is equally important to preserve strength, and it is the real master who can exchange the maximum benefit for the minimum cost. The head-on confrontation is certainly vigorous, but once the generals succeed in ten thousand bones, they are all the brothers of Paoze, and it is also the responsibility of the generals to save their brothers from sacrifice with the greatest ability. ”

Xiang Shaolong's words of love for the soldiers were overflowing, which moved these young generals and began to reflect on their own way of being generals.

Xiang Shaolong looked at them pondering, and said: "Lian Po's defeat lies in his friendship with the new king. The general kills people and slaughters the city, but he wants to participate in the struggle for the throne. It must be known that the danger and cruelty of seizing the heir are far better than the battle of Changping, and the fathers, sons, and brothers turn against each other and become enemies, and they must be cut down and eradicated. You can't blame the king for being suspicious, the general has a heavy army, how to reassure the king is the same as the general's homework. The Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Le Yi just mentioned, famous generals are prosperous in the Ming Lord and defeated by the faint monarch, but they are talented, but they can't reassure the king, and they are also not famous generals. ”

Xiang Shaolong remembered that Huan Qi later seemed to be involved in the rebellion of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, and after being defeated by Li Mu, he absconded to Yan State, and was hated by the King of Qin, and finally used his own head as a stepping stone for Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin.

Xiang Shaolong continued: "The soldier is a knife in the hands of the king, and he should be able to fight wherever the king directs. Even if the party fights against different parties and forms parties for personal gain, even if they gain temporary profits, they are afraid that they will not last long. A general who has no position is a good general, but only obeying the king's orders, strict military discipline, and loving soldiers like sons is the way to be a general. ”

Now Chang'an Jun Chengjiao is the second prince, and there is no shortage of supporters around him, Yangquanjun has fallen, and Du Bi is there. Xiang Shaolong reminded these young people, and also wanted them to pass on the words to the old generals behind them, the prince is rightfully inheriting the throne, and supporting orthodoxy is the great righteousness, and whoever wants to participate in the internal struggle of the royal family will definitely be in trouble.

Xiang Shaolong opened a window for them to look at war, politics and the country from a higher level, and hoped that they would not make mistakes in the future and become leaders in the army.

It didn't take long for the news that Lian Po had fled to Daliang. Li Mu was transferred back to the DPRK, appointed as Xiangguo, and sent an envoy to Qin.

The king of Qin summoned Xiang Shaolong and said: "Shaolong used a little trick, and the king of Zhao sent Le Cheng to replace Lian Po, and after Lian Po attacked Le Cheng, he fled to Wei. The State of Zhao lost a pillar stone, and now the King of Zhao is frightened, and sent Li Mu to envoy my Great Qin to form an alliance. He laughed.

Xiang Shaolong sighed: "It's too fast. ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's too fast?" ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Lian Po escaped too fast. My purpose in releasing Prince Zhao is not to kill Lian Po or force Lian Po away, I hope that he can support the prince as the main and counterattack HD, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is best to fight for ten or eight years. Now that he ran away so quickly, how could he have such a chance in the future. ”

King Qin smiled and said: "Shaolong is too greedy, Lian Po is of great significance to Zhao Guo, we just let out a person casually, and let Zhao Guo lose Lian Po, which is already very good." ”

Xiang Shaolong nodded and said yes, he did it casually at the beginning, and he didn't expect much return, but when he heard that Lian Po escaped, he was a little unwilling, and the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant. didn't think much about it, and said: "It's easy to get a thousand gold, it's hard to find a general, looking at the six countries, Lian Po is also a first-class good general, I should be satisfied." ”

When King Qin heard his description aptly, he let out a long laugh and said: "Shaolong is a general who is difficult to change, how about we send troops to attack Zhao now?" ”

Xiang Shaolong thought to himself: "I also said that I am greedy, as soon as Lian Po left, you are going to attack Zhao, and you are not afraid of pulling eggs with big steps." ”

But he said: "Li Mu is still there, it is difficult to destroy Zhao, I will hurt a thousand enemies, and I will not take any of them." The king can rest assured, Zhao Guo is now Zhao Mu and Guo Kai in charge, and Li Mu will not have a good end in the end, and it will be easy to destroy Zhao when the time comes. ”

King Qin was now obedient to Xiang Shaolong's words, and just said, "Then you go and entertain Li Mu, as for what to say, you can decide for yourself." ”

Still in the Drunken Immortal Building, with mellow wine and exquisite delicacies, Li Mu still looked solemn and sighed: "Failing to keep the general is my Da Zhao's loss." ”

Xiang Shaolong said with a smile: "I am originally from Qin, and I went to HD just to be the queen and the prince." So, Zhao Guo had nothing to lose. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes." Daqin is full of talents, Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian are famous all over the world, but unfortunately they are not from my Zhao country. ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Li Xiang has a good reputation. Contemporary famous generals, with Zhao Guo as the most, and an army of a hundred battles. When the Yan people besieged HD, I was also present, and then was multiplied by General Lian Po and Le by 130,000 to break 600,000, and defeated the Yan people. said that the strength of the army in the world, in addition to my Great Qin, is the Zhao State. ”

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, General Lian Po is no longer in my Dazhao." As he spoke, he glared at Xiang Shaolong fiercely.

Xiang Shaolong knew that he hated himself for sending back Prince Zhao and forced Lian Po away, so he didn't care, chuckled, and asked, "If I hadn't sent back your prince, would General Lian Po be able to die well in Zhao?" Although I handed over Prince Zhao to General Lian, do you think he will rebel? ”

Li Mu shouted: "Of course not! ”

Xiang Shaolong nodded and said, "I don't think so." After saying that, he was silent.

Li Mu sighed, in the final analysis, the king still didn't trust him, the Battle of Changping was like this, and it was still the case now. After King Wuling of Zhao, there was no Ming Jun in Zhao State, and there were no famous generals, but they were getting weaker and weaker.

Xiang Shaolong continued: "Don't talk about General Lian. Let's just say Li Xiang, you, guarding the northern frontier, breaking the Huns, and now worshipping the prime minister, a very popular minister, do you think you can die well in Zhao? ”

Li Mu was furious, and then had to be discouraged, knowing that this was Xiang Shaolong's provocation, but he still couldn't refute it. King Zhao favored Zhao Mu and Guo Kai, he was regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and this visit to the prime minister was also a last resort, not only to use his prestige, but also to exclude himself, Li Mu himself was also full of despair for the future.

However, Li Mu's tenacity of nerves is different from ordinary people, and he quickly put this negative emotion behind him, and said: "With me Li Mu in one day, you don't want to kill my Da Zhao." ”

Xiang Shaolong didn't care, Li Mu's ending was doomed, he could change a lot of things, but he couldn't change people's personalities. Whether it is Li Mu, Zhao Wang, or Zhao Mu and Guo Kai, the story between them is determined by character, and he just needs to wait quietly for them to kill Li Mu, "Li Mu dies, Zhao Guo dies".

Xiang Shaolong didn't think about recruiting Li Mu, first, it was impossible for him to surrender, and second, it was an insult to Li Mu.

Li Mu was born in Zhao, grew up in Zhao, was loyal to Zhao, and died in Zhao, although he died unjustly, he was still a perfect life.

Li Mu's envoy this time was not a success, nor a failure, and stabilized the Qin State, but he did not get any substantive promises.

As soon as Li Mu left, Li Yuan came with the little princess of Chu to marry Daqin.

Li Yuan first found Xiang Shaolong and wanted Xiang Shaolong to help persuade King Qin to make the little princess of Chu as the crown princess, and she would be the queen after the prince succeeded to the throne.

Xiang Shaolong was noncommittal, he was not interested in this kind of thing, and in his memory, Qin Shi Huang did not have a queen in his life. Besides, this is the royal family taking a daughter-in-law, he doesn't want to participate, who the prince wants to marry and who he wants to appoint, let him and his father worry about it.

Xiang Shaolong didn't want to care, but he didn't expect Prince Zheng to come to the door by himself. He quietly ran to the General's Mansion with Ganluo.

Prince Zheng was already fifteen years old, tall as an adult, with a calm and majestic appearance.

Ganluo has grown a lot taller, a little baby fat, and is still a handsome boy.

Prince Zheng saw Xiang Shaolong and said, "Taifu, I don't want to marry the little princess of Chu as the crown princess and be a concubine." ”

Xiang Shaolong asked, "Why?" ”

Prince Zheng said: "There is no hurry to establish the crown princess, wait until I become an adult." ”

Xiang Shaolong said: "Then don't stand up, what are you talking to me for?" ”

Prince Zheng said: "I'm afraid that my father will promise them, and my father will believe the words of the Taifu the most, so I came to find the Taifu." ”

Xiang Shaolong became interested and asked questions: "Do you already have a candidate in mind?" Let's hear it. ”

Prince Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to think about this now. ”

Xiang Shaolong asked more gossipy: "Is the little princess of Chu very ugly?" ”

Prince Zheng frowned, thinking that why is this Taifu's question so unreliable, is this a question of beauty and ugliness?

still patiently replied: "I haven't seen it, but they dare to let her come to marry, and they still want to be the crown princess, she should be a beauty." ”

Xiang Shaolong smiled: "Isn't it good to fall in love with a little beauty?" ”

Prince Zheng said: "What is there to talk about, I have a lot of beauties, the crown princess is going to be the queen in the future, how can I decide easily." One sentence choked Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong actually doesn't understand the importance they attach to the main room, it stands to reason that Shu'er has the lowest status in his family, but he treats Shu'er no different from others, and he is happy to hold the beauty in the palm of his hand.

He was also surprised that Prince Zheng was in adolescence, and he didn't have any yearning for romance, and he didn't have any romantic feelings, because there were many beautiful women around him, and women were no longer mysterious in his eyes? Or is it because of machismo that men in this era don't take women seriously? Or is he born unkind, otherwise why wouldn't he be a queen in his life?
