Chapter 68 Persuasion

Although Fusu wanted to see Li Mu, he still had to finish his work first. When everything was arranged, he went home and took Zhang Liang with him.

A few days ago, he mentioned Li Mu's incident with Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang said that he wanted to meet Li Mu. Now Ying Zheng said he could go and see him, so Fusu naturally did not forget Zhang Liang.

The two of them were not old. When they came to Wang Jian, Wang Jian was not here, but they met Wang Ben. Fusu and Wang Li had a good relationship, and they were not unfamiliar when they met Wang Ben. They stepped forward to greet Wang Ben and explained their purpose.

When Wang Ben heard that it was Ying Zheng who asked him to come, he personally took Fusu and the others to meet Li Mu.

Because Li Mu was unwilling to eat and drink, he had lost a lot of weight after walking to Xianyang. He was not very tall, so he looked like a famous general at this time.

Because he was afraid that Li Mu would seek death, the people below would give him a garbage and suffer such humiliation. He obviously ignored anyone and sat there motionlessly with his eyes closed.

Wang Ben asked Fusu: "Does the young master want to talk to General Li?"

Fusu nodded.

Wang Ben asked Fusu to wait outside, walked into the prison room and carefully took away the utensils to prevent Li Mu from biting his tongue.

He didn't want to treat Li Mu like this, but Ying Zheng wanted Li Mu to come back alive, and Li Mu had no business again, so they had to do so.

Wang Ben sighed and persuaded before Fusu came near, "General Li, our young master has no malice, just wants to talk to you. The king likes him the most. If you commit suicide in front of him, you will not die by yourself."

Although Wang Ben followed Wang Jian to fight outside for many years, he did not know anything about Xianyang. He knew that although Ying Zheng had many children, Ying Zheng loved Fusu alone.

Therefore, Wang Ben is definitely not exaggerating. He knew very well that if Li Muzhen dared to commit suicide by biting his tongue in front of Fusu, Ying Zheng would definitely be furious, and no one of the remaining old subordinates of Li Mu would want to live.

Li Mu opened his eyes and looked at Wang Ben.

Along the way, Li Mu could figure out the character of Wang Ben, and knew that he was pragmatic and his words were never exaggerated.

During this period, Wang Ben took many measures to prevent him from extorting himself, but never threatened him with the lives of others. Now he brought this out because the young master he said was indeed very respectful to Ying Zheng.

Seeing that although Li Mu didn't say anything, Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to welcome Fusu in.

Li Mu had never cared about Ying Zheng's harem, so he didn't know much about Ying Zheng's children. He thought that Ying Zheng's arrangement to see his son should be at least a young man. When he suddenly saw a boy about eight years old walking in from outside, his eyes paused slightly.

However, although this young man from Qin was young, he looked unusual.

Li Mu has seen many young men in Zhao State. No matter what appearance or temperament is comparable to Fusu, although his eyebrows and eyes have not yet been opened, Ziyi has a calm and composed appearance that should not appear on children.

Looking further back, I saw a young man with a beautiful face followed.

The young man had outstanding appearance and was not compared with Fusu at all. However, Li Mu did not pay much attention to the young man's beautiful face. He only saw from the boy's behavior that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and was definitely not an ordinary young man.

In this way, the two children stepped into the cell, and the originally slightly dim cell suddenly became bright.

Even if Li Mu is unwilling to do so, he has to admit that these are the two best children he has ever seen.

Although Fusu did not speak, Wang Ben still retreated considerately. Li Mu's harness was not untied, so it was impossible to attack Fusu. No matter how bad it was, Fusu brought a martial arts boy over here, and there was no problem with safety.

Since that's the case, Wang Ben did not intend to listen to the conversation between Fusu and Li Mu.

Wang Ben went outside to guard. Fusu and Zhang Liang did not dislike the uncleanness of the cell and sat in front of Li Mu and chatted with Li Mu.

Fusu first introduced himself to Zhang Liang and unilaterally met Li Mu's name.

Li Mu hadn't spoken for a long time, and he didn't want to speak very much at this moment. He just stared at Fusu's childish face, wondering what Ying Zheng wanted to let this half-sized child do.

Did Ying Zheng think that if he sent a child to lobby him, he would be willing to listen?

Although he likes children very much, he likes his own children and Zhao's children, not including Qin's princes like Fusu.

Fusu was not angry without receiving a response. He said, "General Li, I have always admired people like you. You have never been selfless. No matter what the court is, you always protect the soldiers and the people of Zhao. I heard that you did not take them home if you received the reward, and they were directly distributed to the people below. There were very few people in the world who could do this, and more because you could even betray your own country for a little selfish benefit."

Li Mu's face was deep.

He thought of Guo Kai and many people, perhaps because there were too many such people in the Zhao court, and he could not count them for a while.

Seeing Li Mu's expression condensed, Fusu continued, "General Li, do you really want to die and give the future of the people of Zhao to them?"

Li Mu suddenly said, "Are you threatening me?"

Fusu said: "I am just saying the facts. Some people get high officials and generous salaries by selling their country. Can you expect them to do for your former subordinates and the people you want to protect even if you sacrifice your life? They are afraid they are worried that they will not get enough benefits and want to find ways to sell them a few more times."

Li Mu clenched his fists.

The fact that Fusu said was that those people really wanted to sell the people more to gain more benefits for themselves.

No one knows better what kind of virtues those people are.

Fusu said: "It's easy to die, and it doesn't even require a sword. If someone doesn't pay attention, you can end yourself." He raised his head and looked at Li Mu. "As soon as you die, you will remember your reputation forever, saying that you are loyal and would rather die than surrender, saying that you are worthy of being a famous general of a generation, and indeed have a never-bending backbone. On the contrary, if you don't die, someone might scold you for living a life of silence and without integrity, saying that you have really been connected with Qin and betrayed Zhao. People in later generations will say that you have done something to betray the Lord. Therefore, it's easy for you to die, but it's difficult to live."

Li Mu closed his eyes.

Fusu's voice was neither fast nor slow, as if an old friend was analyzing the pros and cons for him.

Yes, people like him are most suitable for dying on the battlefield. Otherwise, they will either die in a depressed state or live in a depressed state, and they will never be as relaxed and happy as they are on the battlefield.

After a long time, Li Mu spoke again. His voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat, and he sounded a little hoarse: "What can you do when you are only eight or nine years old?"

What can such a young child guarantee?

Fusu said: "I am in charge of resettlement of prisoners and assisting in the county affairs."

Ying Zheng was already preparing to conquer Zhao's land into Handan County, and the work he communicated with Handan County in the future was also under his control, but in fact it was under his control.

Fusu really cannot guarantee other things, but since Zhao State has become Handan County, the people in the county are naturally also the people of Qin State.

The people's livelihood is exactly what Fusu can say the most. At least he has a lot of say in the formulation and exemption of corvee taxes.

What the people care about the most is not just about the harvest in the fields, isn’t it about corvee labor and taxes?

Li Mu stared at Fusu.

He knew countless people in his life, and if he didn't say anything else, he would at least look at people accurately. The child in front of him spoke clearly and had a clear and clear look, which shows that although the child was using the people to persuade him, he had already made plans in his heart. No matter whether he surrendered or not, he would arrange the captives of Zhao and the people.

This child is obviously an open and innocent person.

Meeting Fusu Chengming's eyes, Li Mu suddenly asked, "If I die, will you ignore these?"

Fusu didn't expect Li Mu to ask this and was stunned.

Zhang Liang said, "Of course he will take care of it." He looked at Li Mu and said, "He likes to worry about everything the most. It has nothing to do with him whether you die or not, so he will persuade you too."

He pulled Fusu and stood up, blocked Fusu behind him, raised his hand and pulled out his sword from his waist and chopped it up to Li Mu's trolling gear.

With a clang, the bundle that was originally bound by Li Mu fell to the ground in two.

Li Mu was restrained for a long time and his hands and feet were a little numb, even if he was suddenly untied, he didn't make much move.

He looked at Zhang Liang and had a deep impression of this young man with sharp sword skills and sharp eyes.

Zhang Liang said: "It is not you who surrendered Qin, and it is not you who killed Zhao. It is your brave and unscrupulous king. Your king has surrendered, and the entire Zhao State has been incorporated into Qin State. Therefore, if you die now, it will be useless to die. If you have to die, I will lend you this sword."

He said that, and he really put the sword at Li Mu's hand.

Li Mu did not move.

Zhang Liang said, "Don't say that Fusu is still young, there are not many things he can do. Even if he grows up in the future, he will be unable to escape the difficulties waiting for him." Zhang Liang looked at Li Mu without fear, "Many things cannot be done by just someone. If you think that Fusu alone can face those deceitful villains who can't even helpless you, and Fusu alone can protect so many people in your Zhao State, then don't worry, use my sword."

After Zhang Liang said that, he looked at Fusu and pulled Fusu away.

After hearing the movement of Zhang Liang drawing his sword, Wang Ben walked to the door to check the situation.

Seeing Zhang Liang pulling his sword and chopping off Li Mu's thighs and putting the sword to Li Mu's hand, Wang Ben's heart was in his throat.

It is well known that Li Mu is superb in swordsmanship. He can lead the Zhao army to win repeatedly. How could his skills be poor?

This Zhang Liang is too brave!

Not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of something! If Li Mu fought for everyone’s life, and tried his best to take the initiative to attack Fusu, who can afford the consequences?!

If Li Mu hadn't acted, Wang Ben would have rushed into the prison room to stop him.

Seeing Wang Ben's nervous look, Fusu couldn't help but smiled at Wang Ben with guilt and said, "Please trouble you."

Seeing that Fusu obviously had no intention of blaming Zhang Liang for making decisions without authorization, Wang Ben swallowed all his words back.

He walked to the door just now and had already listened to Zhang Liang's second half.

To be honest, Wang Ben doesn't really believe that Li Mu can listen to such words. If Li Mu is willing to surrender, would he still let Ying Zheng not surrender, but instead surrender to a child of half a young age?

Just think about it with your toes. No one will think that a child under ten years old can know what kind of kindness and kindness can really speak in the court.

This is a fool who can cheat on a fool, but it would be strange if Li Mu can be cheated!

The author has something to say:

Wang Ben: I have been persuading you for a long time, but it can’t be interpreted at all!

Wang Ben: It would be strange if you persuade me like this!
