It is said that the Qin general Huan Qi took Zhao Pingyang and Wucheng, killed Zhao generals, and went east to the party in the following year, Yue Taihang Mountain went deep into the rear of Zhao from the north road, attacked Chili and Yi'an, and approached Handan, the capital of Zhao, and King Zhao urgently ordered Li Mu to send troops to rescue.

For several days, Li Mu was busy preparing the three armies and deploying large and small matters. At dusk on this day, everything was done, and he led his subordinates with 30,000 elite soldiers to the front line in the starry night.

Gossip is little, Li Mu led a large group of soldiers and horses from Yanmen, wearing the stars and the moon, marching to the southeast Handan direction, the next morning, has reached the Jinyang border, after a long night of trekking, at this time is already sleepy and tired, Li Mu ordered the soldiers to set up camp, set up a fire, and rest on the spot.

Li Mu sat on the war horse, holding a long whip, pointing to the misty Jinyang City from afar, and said to Ji Zong: "Can the virtuous brother know the city ahead"?

Ji Zong followed his gaze and looked far away, but saw a city vaguely visible, with a majestic and powerful momentum, handsome and incomprehensible, knowing that it was the famous city of Jinyang belonging to Zhao, and responded: "Isn't it the ancient city of Jinyang"?

Li Mudao: "Exactly, it turns out that the virtuous brother already knows."

Ji Zong said: "The ancient city of Jinyang is famous all over the world. ”

Li Mu said with emotion: "Brother Xian said that the pole of the earth is, as early as the Yuxia era, Jinyang has been built, standing Shang Zhou. Hundreds of years ago, the world was divided, and this place returned to Jin, and after another two hundred years, the Jin Kingdom declined, and several families were divided. In the midst of the war, King Zhao had a meritorious role in begging for thieves, and Zhou Tianzi gave this fertile land to Zhao Jun, which was regarded as the ancestral inheritance. Among them, the doctor Zhibo has long been unwilling, coveting this place for a long time, but it is weak and weak, it is difficult to speak alone, Wei is greedy, Han is cowardly, Zhibo instigated Wei and Han to jointly send troops to attack my Zhao State, water irrigated Jinyang City, intending to destroy my Zhao State, the army and people of Zhao State swore to resist to the death for several years, and finally plotted against Wei Han to destroy the Zhi clan and carve up the Jin State, so that there is now the hegemony of the Seven Kingdoms.

Ji Zong said: "Revisiting the old place, the past is unbearable."

Li Mudao: "The countries of the Central Plains are originally one family, and we hope that China will be unified as soon as possible, end the war, and the people of the world will always enjoy peace."

Ji Zong said: "Exactly", and dismounted with Li Mu and entered the camp.

Li Mu and Ji Zong entered the account to rest for a while, and a secret envoy came to report: "The Huan Qi army is like a broken bamboo, Handan is in danger, and the king of Zhao is in a hurry to order General Li to reinforce quickly." Li Mu sensed that King Zhao was anxious and the war was imminent, so he immediately ordered the camp to be pulled out and the village was raised, and the army was led to replenish grain and grass in Jinyang City.

All the way to the green mountains and green waters, the two of them have no time to care, no intention to enjoy, the front of the frequent bad news, Li Mu accelerated the process, marched for five days, and Handan sent Zhao army to meet in Yi'an, and confronted the Qin army.

Li Mu inspected the nearby terrain, there were many hills and forests, the two armies looked at each other across the river, and learned that the Qin army had 150,000 strong soldiers, and his own strength totaled more than 80,000 people, and the Qin army dominated the favorable terrain, which was very unfavorable to himself. One came to Handan to report the emergency, the other was a multi-day march, the soldiers were tired, and the Qin army's chief general Huan Qi released cruel words, which was bound to break through Handan within half a month and capture the king of Zhao alive. Li Mu consulted the opinions of all the strategists, and they all said so. After thinking about it again, he summoned Ji Zong to ask for a plan.

Li Mu said: "The Qin army is flying and domineering, winning one after another, and now the troops are less than fifty miles away from Handan, which shows the meaning of stepping on Handan, Handan is the foundation of the Zhao State, and it is also the last barrier to resist the Qin army.

Ji Zong said: "Big brother, don't be impatient, this move is very inappropriate, don't conquer the Qin army at this time." First, the Qin army has won successive victories, the morale is very high, our army has been on a journey for many days, the soldiers are tired, if they rush to meet the battle, it is difficult to win, and the city of Handan is empty, if the Qin army declares war at this time, it will show flaws and fall into the danger of Handan;

Li Mudao: "According to the opinion of the virtuous brother, what should I do"?

Ji Zong said: "Build a fortification, avoid a decisive battle, do not move, wait for work at ease, wait for the enemy to be tired, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack," and said: "Our army is stationed in the rear of the Qin army, and the Qin army is like a thorn in the back and a fish thorn in the throat.

Li Mu analyzed the situation of the two armies, thought for a long time, and had no other good strategy to implement, so he took Ji Zong's suggestion, cut down wood and quarry, built high walls, and recuperated in the city. The Qin army provoked several times outside the city and refused to fight.

Sure enough, for dozens of days, the Qin army only shouted outside the city, except for intimidating and intimidating Li Mu with vicious words, there was nothing to do, and there was no movement on Handan. Ji Zong often walked around with Li Mu's military camp, chatted with the soldiers, and chatted freely.

On this day, Li Mu slaughtered a few cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, and the soldiers were having a good time, and suddenly a secret agent came to report: "Huan Qi led the army to attack Feixia, Feixia is in danger, and King Zhao urgently ordered Li Mu to send troops to rescue."

Li Mu was taken aback, Feixia is the throat of Zhao State, and if the fat is broken, the Qin army can drive straight into Handan, such a major military situation, urgently call everyone to discuss.

Since Li Mu sent troops in Yanmen and joined the Zhao army in Handan, he has been confronting the Qin army for several months, and has not fought a battle, the generals and soldiers have been huddled in the city, and there are many grievances in their hearts.

Li Mu said: "The Qin army is attacking Feixia, aiming to win, Feixia and Handan are close at hand, Handan is in danger, this is far from fat, time is pressing, how to rescue"?

One humanitarian: "The general can first send a group of elite soldiers and light cavalry to gallop to Feixia, the Qin soldiers will see our Zhao army coming, they will be frightened, return to our army, no time to estimate the fat, our army only circled with the Qin army for a while, make time to wait until the Zhao army arrives, you can destroy the Qin army in one fell swoop, Feixia will be saved, Handan is safe."

Li Mu lingered for a long time, then turned around and asked Ji Zongdao: "What does the virtuous brother think"?

Ji Zong said indifferently: "This is a plan by the enemy to lure me into the depths, don't pay attention to it."

The man retorted: "The military intelligence has been found out, and it is indeed correct, how can we turn a blind eye"?

Li Mu asked, "What is the good plan for the virtuous brother?"

Ji Zongdao: "One word, wait", seeing that Li Mu was puzzled, he analyzed: "Huan Qi led the main force to attack Feixia, which is an illusion, intended to induce our army to go to the rescue, and when our army is out of the camp, we can annihilate our army in the movement after long-distance fatigue." The enemy attacks and I save it, it is to people, it is taboo for soldiers, and regardless of our side to repair the city wall, the soil and stone are rotten, Huan Qi is still unable to attack for a long time, and the fat is a hundred years of the city, solid as gold, the enemy army must be helpless, can not move the slightest."

The man blocked: "If it goes on like this, won't Zhao Jun be a turtle with a shrunken head, and what year and month will he have to wait?"

Ji Zongdao: "The main force of the Qin army is fat, the remaining troops in the camp are weak, our side has been on the defensive, the Qin army is accustomed to it, and it will inevitably be negligent in guard, and within ten days, the remaining Qin army can be annihilated."

Li Mu considered Ji Zong's analysis of the Tao, tightly sealed, and did not leak, and said: "Fortunately, the virtuous brother reminded me that the foolish brother was almost confused by Huan Qi and fell into the evil way of the Qin soldiers, what is the clever plan of the virtuous brother"?

Ji Zong said: "The younger brother inspected the celestial phenomena, and it is expected that there will be heavy rain within ten days, and as soon as the heavy rain comes, the Qin army will die."

Li Mu said: "It's all controlled by the virtuous brother."

Li Muli disagreed with the public, protected Ji Zong, and just waited for good luck to come. It should also be the Qin army suffered, as Ji Zong said, in the evening of the seventh day, the sky was cloudless, the sky was clear, and suddenly the clouds were thick, lightning and thunder, and the torrential rain came in an instant. The terrain where the Qin soldiers are located has many ravines, water everywhere, almost difficult to walk, and it is night again, the soldiers left behind hurriedly drain the water and make a fire, and suddenly encounter the Zhao army attacking the camp, making a mess, at a loss. The Zhao army annihilated the Qin soldiers and captured the heavy grain and grass.

Li Mu took it by surprise and took advantage of the weakness to annihilate the Qin army, he was in a very comfortable mood, and he was about to collect his troops and return to the city, Ji Zong obstructed: "The Qin army's remaining strength was destroyed, but the main force is still there, Huan Qi knows that the camp is in trouble, and he will inevitably come to the rescue, it is a God-given opportunity, at this time, if the Qin army is not destroyed, the Qin army will recover a little, and the future will be endless." The eldest brother might as well ambush the troops around the camp, Huan Qi could not have expected this, and when the Qin soldiers were all in the trap, they would be surrounded and annihilated."

Li Mu thought about it for a while, it was indeed a good plan, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, at this time, the wind and rain had stopped, and the rain had passed and the sky was clear, so he deployed a small number of troops on both sides of the valley, and the main force lurked in the front, dressed in the night dark and windy, just waiting for the Qin soldiers to take the bait.

In the early morning of the next day, the rooster reported that there had been spies urgently reporting to Li Mu's camp, and the Qin army marched five miles away, Li Mu gave another order, and all the sergeants were in good spirits, just waiting for the killing order.

It was the ruthless strategy that Huan Qi led his troops to besiege Feixia, and he was indeed bluffing, intending to lure the tired division of the Zhao army, but he did not see the arrival of the Zhao army for a long time. On this day, the spies urgently reported that there was a change in the rear military camp, Huan Qi was shocked, knowing that it was the Zhao army that was intruding, it was difficult to expect the Zhao army to be so bold and impulsive, busy rectifying the army and horses, and led 100,000 soldiers and horses back to rescue in a hurry.

Huan Qi soldiers and horses set off in a hurry, rushed to Yi'an overnight, the brigade of soldiers and horses marched to both sides of the valley far away from the Qin camp, the soldiers were already tired all night, exhausted, and had to stop to rest. Huan Qi watched the soldiers all over the decadent and tired, helpless to the urgency of the battle ahead, and urged the soldiers to march. It was at this time, suddenly heard a burst of hissing on the mountain, the Qin army stopped to inspect, countless soldiers and horses had rushed down, waving flags and shouting, the sound shook the valley, the Qin soldiers were suddenly shocked, originally had no fighting spirit, in this situation, even more at a loss, Huan Qi knew that the Zhao army was ambushed, and was busy arranging troops to meet and kill the Zhao army.

Just as the Qin soldiers struggled to resist the Zhao army on the mountain, they unexpectedly killed all the way from the rear, cutting off the Qin army's circuit, and the black pressure was all over the valley, surrounding the Qin army, and the water was impassable, and the Qin army could not distinguish the main force of the Zhao army. For a while, the mountains were rolling stones, fireballs were about to fly down, and the Qin soldiers were crying and wailing all over the field.

There are hills blocking the road in front, and there are enemy troops chasing and killing in the back, the Qin army is powerless to parry, and has no intention of fighting, fleeing in all directions, Huan Qi only gives orders, and it is useless, how can the soldiers be resigned, they have already been in chaos, tens of thousands of elite soldiers instantly turned into fireballs or stones to death, or were cut and killed, seeing that the general trend has gone, Huan Qi followed hundreds of warriors to kill a bloody road, and found a small way to flee in a hurry.

Not to mention that Huan Qi wanted to transfer the tiger away from the mountain to eliminate the Zhao army but was annihilated in one fell swoop, and waited until the two armies died down, and the east saw white, Li Mu counted the battlefield, his own casualties were more than 2,000 people, killed more than 70,000 enemies, and captured more than 20,000 enemy soldiers, which can be described as a complete victory, not only to relieve Handan's urgency, but also to dampen the spirit of the Qin army.

For several days, the soldiers in the city drank and celebrated the victory in battle, and Yixue was humiliated by his defeat for many years. On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, Li Mu ordered people to set up a banquet, invited several generals to have fun in the palace of Ji Zong, and there was a dancing girl and singer in the palace of the prince in the south of the city, so he sent someone to invite singing and dancing to help the fun. During the banquet, Li Mu took advantage of the wine and asked everyone: "This time the Qin army was exterminated, and Huan Qi fled in the wilderness, who do the generals think has the greatest credit"?

Everyone in the audience talked about it, and some people said: "Naturally, General Chen Feng is the only one, charging ahead, killing more than 10,000 enemies, who else would it be if it wasn't General Chen."

There are also humanitarian people: "When it was General Sun Bai, an arrow shot down the helmet of Huan Qi boy, which frightened Huan Qi and fled for his life, swept away the morale of the Qin army, and captured countless Qin soldiers, who dared to take credit except him."

There are also humanitarians: "General Hu, General Lu......"

Li Mu saw that everyone was arguing, waved his hand to stop everyone, and said with a smile: "The generals are hard, Chen Sun and the two are brave and fearless on the battlefield, and their strength is outstanding, it is the honor of my Zhao country, and the merit is extraordinary, but if you take the overall inventory, you will win with strategy, and the person who makes plans and plans for the overall situation is my brother Ji Zongye." Pointing to the head of the seat, he said: "Ji Zong is my old man, I knew each other in the old years, and you have met with him on weekdays.

Everyone turned their heads to each other, wanting to say that they had known each other for a long time, but they had only heard of it recently, and they had no contacts, and they looked at the white-faced scholar in front of them, and they couldn't believe that this person had a strategic mind and a peerless strategy. Li Mu is usually generous and loving, honest and generous, and everyone admires Li Mu as a person, and they can't help but believe it.

Ji Zongben had no intention of taking credit, listening to Li Mu's marriage to himself, he hurriedly clenched his fists and excused himself: "The general has raised his love for Xiaosheng and exterminated the Qin army, but the general has strategized and commanded well, and fortunately, the generals here did not hesitate to kill the enemy bravely, and they were incompetent and incompetent, and they did not make a modest effort, and they did not dare to be greedy for merit."

Everyone listened to Ji Zong's humble and humble words, and they didn't love credit, and their feelings of favor for this person arose spontaneously, and they were all impressed and whispered. Li Mu saw this situation, was in a happy mood, and said to Ji Zong: "The virtuous brother has merit and does not claim to be self-conscious, he is really a person of noble character, but attacking and killing the Qin army and saving the Zhao country from danger is really shocking the worlds, and the first merit is one, and the virtuous brother should not resign."

Ji Zong still excused himself and said: "The general praised Xiaosheng, and when he first arrived, he relied on the support of the general, and he was grateful to the generals, and he was not grateful in his heart, but if he talked about the merit, he would be ashamed."

Li Mu understood Ji Zong's character, and when he saw that he insisted on resigning, he said: "I wanted to reward him according to his merits, but the virtuous brother did not envy his fame, which is commendable. Drink it all.

Ji Zong hurriedly raised his glass and saluted, "Thank you for the general's kindness."

Li Mu glanced at everyone, and said: "You are often on the bloody battlefield, how many lives and deaths you have experienced, it is rare to get together today, drink and talk, and everyone will not return if you are not drunk." Everyone applauded. The fairy music sounded, and the song and dance were graceful.

It was already quiet at night, and the banquet had just ended, and everyone had received their rewards for their merits, and they all dispersed.

In the days that followed, Li Mu was busy resuming the war and destroying the city wall, military projects, enlightening the surrendered Qin soldiers, and training soldiers and horses. After a long month, Ji Zong finally felt bored and lonely, thinking about going down the mountain for a long time, missing his teacher, and knowing his parents, although he could not see the face of the two elders in this life, he always got to pay homage in front of the grave, with a sense of heart, there was no war at the moment, and the city was peaceful, so he wanted to quit his luggage and leave for the time being.

On this day, Ji Zong was in good spirits, and was about to meet Li Mu to say goodbye, when a little servant hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "The general summoned Mr., please go immediately." Ji Zong unexpectedly Li Mu suddenly summoned him and asked, "What's the matter?" the little guy said, "I don't know." Ji Zong frowned, and sent the little servant to go first, and ordered to arrive later.

Ji Zong tidied up his clothes, did not dare to hesitate, and went straight to Li Mu's mansion, but before he reached the mansion, but seeing that the soldiers of the brigade outside the door were neatly arranged and waiting for him, Ji Zong had no time to think about it and hurriedly entered.

Li Mu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Ji Zong coming, he greeted him and said, "It can be regarded as waiting for the virtuous brother, and there is something important to discuss." ”

Ji Zong asked, "Why is the eldest brother in such a hurry?"

Li Mu pointed to the seat in the hall and said, "Brother Xian, please sit down, you will know when you are young." "Ordered the servant to bring the wine and put it down.

Li Mu waited for Ji Zong to sit down, filled the wine glasses of the two with a pot, and said straightly: "Just now, my king sent an envoy and ordered me to return to Handan as soon as possible." ”

Ji Zong was puzzled: "What is the intention of calling the eldest brother back?"

Li Mu said: "When King Zhao heard that I had defeated the Qin army, he specially summoned me to Handan to receive a reward. ”

Ji Zongdao: "What doubts does the eldest brother have?"

Li Mu got up and walked slowly, and said slowly: "The Qin people are impermanent, although the Qin soldiers are temporarily defeated, they will soon make a comeback, ravaging the Zhao people, and there are many Huns in the north who have repeatedly violated the rivers and mountains of the motherland, trampling on the people, so internal and external troubles, but the king of Zhao is in a hurry, playing with fame, and has nothing to do with the war, and he is very melancholy in his brother's heart." ”

Ji Zongdao: "The eldest brother cares about the community, seeks to benefit the people, and the world is moved, what are your plans now?"

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I originally wanted to settle the army and civilians here, and after planning the future war, I will transfer the troops back to Yanmen. ”

Ji Zong obstructed: "Big brother is slow, this is very strange. ”

Li Mu was shocked: "Why did the virtuous brother say this?"

Ji Zong got up and wandered around, and replied when he was young: "For decades, the eldest brother has gone through countless wars, large and small, and has won frequently, rarely lost, King Zhao did not have a special award, this time the victory against Qin was insignificant, but King Zhao spread the joy for thousands of miles, and ordered the eldest brother to return to the capital under the pretext of rewarding, which is abnormal dissent." ”

Li Mu said: "Brother Xian is too worried, I know King Zhao's temperament very well, and he is not a treacherous and untrustworthy person. ”

Ji Zong continued: "Big brother don't be in a hurry, King Zhao is not a mediocre and dumb king, he must know that the war on the front line is urgent, and the people who resist the enemy are indispensable, and it is difficult for non-big brother to be competent. ”

Li Mu slapped the table and said angrily: "I, Li Mu, am for the country and the people, do my duty and do my duty, and I am above board, so what am I afraid of?"

Ji Zong hurriedly persuaded: "Big brother don't be impatient, the fact is so, the eldest brother is the pillar of the Zhao country, he does his best, no regrets, it is the hand of the male soldiers, the enemy is thousands of miles away, the big brother is famous, the world has heard of the change, it is the undefeated god of war through the ages, but it is inevitable that the master is high, the king of Zhao must have a mustard, always beware of the eldest brother, look at today's situation, the king of Zhao must have been bewitched and divided, presumably the Qin people did. ”

Li Mu analyzed that Ji Zong's sentences were reasonable and reasonable, and he was very shocked, and said: "The virtuous brother is reasonable, but the hateful Qin people are shameless, but the king's destiny has arrived, what should I do, and the virtuous brother has a perfect strategy?"

Ji Zongdao: "It is the king's order that is difficult to disobey, if the eldest brother disobeys the order, he will leave the truth to the traitorous and petty people, and take the opportunity to sow discord, if King Zhao believes that it is true, the eldest brother's situation will become more and more dangerous. ”

Li Mu's face was displeased, and he interrupted Ji Zongdao: "The virtuous brother wants me to bend my knees and humble myself and spare my life, how can I, Li Mu, be a person who escapes from the battle, greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Ji Zong hurriedly appeased Li Mudao: "Big brother, don't worry, this is an expedient measure, today's national crisis is at the head, there are many soldiers, the people need the general Kuang Fu Sheji, turn the tide, the Qin people are out of the way, and they can cause trouble in Zhao at any time, and now Zhao is the only general who can resist the Qin army's tiger and wolf division, King Zhao is in charge of the national situation, and knows that the general is capable of doing things, and sees the sincerity of the general, he must not have the talent of the general, and reuse the general, so that the monarch and the minister are united, and the Zhao State will be indestructible." ”

Li Mu listened to Ji Zongding's words, and said excitedly: "I almost blamed the virtuous brother, listen to your words, and wake up the person in the dream." Then he said: "According to the plan of the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother will go back to clean up, and set off early tomorrow morning to go to Handan to see King Zhao." ”

Ji Zong wanted to meet Li Muyan and say that he was going to talk about his deeds, but he didn't expect to change in vain, but seeing that Li Mu's feelings were sincere, he couldn't bear to brush off Li Mu's good intentions, and thought that he would go to the Ghost Valley and pass through Handan, which was just the way, so he made up his mind to go to Handan and then separate from Li Mu, hesitated for a while, and said: "Exactly." ”

Without much to say, Ji Zong left Li Mu's mansion and went back to his residence, and the next day, there were guards to invite, Ji Zong took a little light, and went with the guards to meet Li Mu.

Ji Zong followed the guards to the city gate, and saw a large number of people standing in front of the city gate from a distance, smiling and waving for the first person, catering to Ji Zong. But seeing this person wearing armor and robes, sitting firmly on the horse, he was very majestic, it was Li Mu. Ji Zong approached quickly and said, "The little brother is late, I hope the eldest brother will forgive me." ”

Li Mu said: "Where is the virtuous brother, the trip was in a hurry, and I didn't inform the virtuous brother in time, I have arranged everything properly, the virtuous brother got on the horse, you and I chatted while walking." ”

Ji Zong said: "Listen to the eldest brother's orders." "Shake your horse.

After Ji Zong got on the horse, Li Mu turned the horse's head in a dashing manner, separated a passage in the crowd, and the two jumped back and forth. It was the autumn wind and the decay of the grass and trees, Li Mu led nearly a thousand soldiers to gallop away and gallop to Handan. Ji Zong turned around and looked at the ancient city, and in the fog, it became more and more blurred, swaying, and desolate.

Starting from the old city, everyone eats and sleeps in the open, the day and the moon rest, along the rugged ancient road, cautious marching, all the way, there is no enemy soldier blocking the road, less than three days, through Wu'an, has been close to Handan.

This day is getting westward, it is the dusk time, Li Mu and his party have arrived at the northwest suburbs of Handan, Li Mu examined the terrain and landform, ordered the army to rest for one night, and marched the next day. And when they had received the order, they set up camp and set up their tents, and set up their stoves and make fires, and they were busy with their own work.

Seeing this situation, Ji Zong thought that the time had come, so he looked for Li Muyan's words and deeds, and wandered several times, but saw Li Mu standing in front of the tent, staring into the distance, thoughtful, approaching lightly, and said softly: "It's cold outside, why don't you go into the tent to rest?"

Li Muzhi knew that Ji Zong had arrived, so he didn't turn back, but just responded: "It's okay, the virtuous brother can see the fireworks in the city ahead?"

Ji Zong took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset to vaguely see the smoke rising from the cooking, and said, "Well, it must be Handan City." ”

Li Mu sighed: "Yes, after floating outside for several years, I never thought that I would finally be able to return to my homeland, it is really impermanent." ”

Ji Zong said: "When the eldest brother revisits his homeland, he can't help but feel emotional. ”

Li Mu turned around and said: "Looking at this situation, the army will arrive in the city at noon tomorrow, and the journey will be thrilling, and finally return safely." Glimpsing Ji Zong's slightly tired face, he said: "The virtuous brother has been running around for many days, he must be tired, why don't you rest early, nourish your spirits, and you can enter the palace to meet King Zhao in the near future." ”

Ji Zong's face was embarrassed, and he said for a while: "Big brother, forgive me, the younger brother can't go to Handan with the eldest brother." ”

Li Mu suddenly heard Ji Zong's words, but before he could react, he asked Ji Zongdao: "What does the virtuous brother mean?"

Ji Zongdao: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, the younger brother is here to say goodbye this time." ”

Li Mu was shocked: "Brother Xian's words are true, why did he leave suddenly?"

Ji Zong said: "The younger brother has been down the mountain for a long time, and he misses his teacher in his heart, and he wants to go back to visit his teacher, pay tribute to his deceased parents, and say goodbye to him with peace of mind." ”

Li Mu said: "Even if the virtuous brother misses his teacher and parents in his heart, he is not in a hurry, and now that Handan is close at hand, why not go into the city with his brother for a while and then make plans." He also said: "For a long time, the virtuous brother has led the army with me to fight, made suggestions, worked hard, and my brother has not fulfilled a trace of brotherly affection, but now he is leaving, how can my brother give up in his heart?"

Ji Zongdao: "The eldest brother is serious, for several months, the eldest brother has been with me for a long time, taking care of me, taking care of me, taking care of me, like a brother, so that I can taste the love of my relatives, I also feel very comforted, the tears are indescribable, but often in my heart." ”

Li Mu pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Brother Xian is here, my brother is like losing his left arm, in today's troubled times, looking at the world, the enemy is ambushed on all sides, everywhere, if there is no virtuous brother so brave and wise, how can I deal with it." ”

Ji Zongdao: "Don't hide from the eldest brother, the younger brother at the beginning of the mountain, the master specially instructed me not to set foot in the officialdom, love the career, since the general, I fell in love with the eldest brother at first sight, treat each other with all sincerity, inherit the kindness of the eldest brother, for a long time, with the eldest brother led the army to fight, after life and death killing, but also has been tired, several clumsy schemes, there is no master's trust, has violated the original intention, before and after, I really don't want to cause disputes again, I hope the eldest brother forgives. ”

Li Mu listened to Ji Zong's words, and was infinitely sad, seeing that Ji Zong's intention to go had been decided, he sighed: "The virtuous brother has made up his mind, and it is useless for me to stay", turned to the guards and said: "Bring the horse." The guards did as they were told.

Li Mu stroked the horse's mane with his hand and said with pity: "This horse is a bloody horse in the Western Regions, without any miscellaneous hair on the body, it is very rare, but it can travel thousands of miles a day, and it will be given to my brother for many years, so I will give it to my virtuous brother today."

Ji Zongtui said: "How can the little brother of such a good horse accept it, my brother has every opportunity, it is the time of need, and he should stay by his brother's side, and the little brother will never dare to accept it."

Li Mudao: "Since ancient times, BMW has given heroes, and the virtuous brother is heroic, he is a good man in the world, and it can be regarded as a good master, so he should be a brother and prepare his mind, and the virtuous brother should not shirk again."

Ji Zong saw that Li Mu was sincere, and finally couldn't bear to brush Li Mu's heart, so he had to agree, and said, "The little brother has no choice but to obey his fate."

Li Mu smiled: "This is a good brother," and said: "Now that I say goodbye, I don't know when I will see you again?"

Ji Zong said: "The day the spring flowers bloom next year will be the time to meet. ”

Li Mu said: "What a day of spring flowers", full of wine, said: "Brother Xian will have another drink with me tonight." ”

Ji Zong drank all the wine in the cup, and said loudly: "The feast is good, there will be a farewell, gathering and dispersing is impermanent, and the farewell is at this moment." ”

Li Mu sighed: "The virtuous brother does not love the dust and fame, has nothing to do with the vicissitudes of the world, arbitrarily mountains, forests and rivers, cares about the world of rivers and lakes, and has no fetters, which is really the envy of the world." ”

Ji Zongdao: "The eldest brother smiled, the eldest brother is ambitious and ambitious, and the younger brother is beyond his reach, and he is often ashamed. He picked up his glass and said, "Toast to the eldest brother, and we'll say goodbye." ”

Li Mu said to each other: "Brother Xian, take care. ”

Ji Zongdao: "Big brother take care, this is like the sea in the deep palace of Handan, the sword light and sword shadow, the undercurrent is surging, the danger is abnormal, the eldest brother has lived in the officialdom for a long time, and he knows the mystery of officialdom, so he is very careful." ”

Li Mu said: "Thank you for the good words of the virtuous brother, and the elder brother should be careful." ”

Just waited for Ji Zong to jump on the horse, tame the fierce horse, and spur the horse, the horse roared, and took advantage of the moonlight to gallop away. A clear voice fluttered in the night wind: "Mountains and rivers meet, there will be a period later".
