All knowledge about Guo Kai and Li Mu came from Handan, and they all said that he was a treacherous and sycophantic man who harmed the country, controlled the government, and manipulated the king's behavior, whether it was at the beginning of the king's accession to the throne or in recent years between Chunping Jun and the prince.
Jiahe said it himself.
Guo Kai is an absolutely treacherous minister. Although Li Mu doesn't understand Guo Kai, so many people's words may not be groundless, so he also despises Guo Kai in his heart.
However, from today's perspective, and from recent years, it seems that there is no shortage of grain, grass, baggage, or supplies for the frontier army, not to mention that he is now the general commanding the troops of Zhao State.
This person was able to support the border troops and stabilize the border when Qin attacked Zhao. Could it be that I had misunderstood him before?
In any case, judging from the current situation, Guo Kai's actions are not considered a great evil. It is because Guo Kai's conscience is still intact and he wants to do something serious, or he has misunderstood the other party before.
"Call the generals!"
After a long silence, Li Mu took the document from Guo Kai and issued the order.
"General!"
The expression of Sima Shang, the deputy general beside him, changed slightly, and he took a deep look at Guo Kai. This man was dressed in abominable clothes, and he was very unwilling to act according to the instructions of the king sent by Guo Kai, but... the general is the general of the Zhao Kingdom, and he is also doing good things.
.
However, based on my understanding of Guo Kai, this person would not be so kind.
"General!"
"..."
After saying this, the other scattered generals in the military tent also looked at each other. Although they did not speak directly, they were still ridiculing Guo Kai.
At this point, Li Mu just pretended not to hear. At this juncture, he did not respond to the request, did not stop him, and just pretended that there was no life.
"Hahaha, the generals' suspicions against me are just due to various rumors. Don't you know that during the Battle of Changping, the Qin State had divided the government and the opposition and ordered the late king to replace General Lian Po. Otherwise, the Battle of Changping would not have ended like this.
"
"Observe people and conduct, they are as wise as the generals and other generals. Would you rather believe the rumors of the Qin people in Handan?"
Guo Kai looked around, with a slight smile on his face, and took a step forward, speaking openly and sincerely.
After taking a breath, there was no more sound in the shogunate's military tent.
The shogunate summoned many generals. It was night, and Li Mu did not hesitate at all. He marched 50,000 troops south to Jingxingkou. At the same time, he promised Guo Kai that he would sit in front of Jingxingkou within seven days to deal with the Qin army.
Two days later.
Guo Kai and his party left the northern frontier army with satisfaction. The purpose of this trip was to make Li Mu the general of the Zhao State, and then lead the Zhao State to fight against the Qin State. No matter what, the Zhao State had to persist.
Only with the Kingdom of Zhao and King Zhao can I keep everything I have now!
Otherwise, everything will cease to exist.
"General, this is a great opportunity."
"Since I think that the general of Zhao State is the best, I should lead my army back to Handan here, use the power of the army to determine the situation in Handan, depose the king of Zhao, kill Guo Kai, and then establish a new king."
In the shogunate's military tent, Li Mu is rectifying the affairs of the northern frontier army these days. If he goes south, then the frontier army will have to leave manpower to deal with the Huns in the north.
Wearing gray-black heavy armor, with a crown tied up, and a solemn look on his face, he sat behind the table on the table, looking at the secret envoy Han Liu sent by Tai Zijia below him, dressed in a knight's attire, and came with him.
People are dusty.
Han Liu raised his hands and looked at Li Mu. At this time, Li Mu was the general, which was definitely a good thing for the Zhao State. Therefore, it was also time to deal with the situation in Handan and rectify the situation in Handan and rectify Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai.
"It's not appropriate."
"On this occasion, we should first attack and retreat the Qin State, and then make plans for Handan."
As the words of Han Liu fell, the person sitting in front of him shook his head and spoke softly. He was dressed in brocade and plain robes, with handsome features. His name was Pang Hao. He was the successor of Pang Nuan, the former general of the State of Zhao, and is now the commander-in-chief of the rear army of Handan Camp.
"What do you mean, Chunpei-kun?"
"Is it true that it is just like the rumors in Handan that it no longer cares about the king and Guo Kai?"
When Han Liu heard this, he was dissatisfied and snorted coldly. Chun Ping Jun originally advocated deposing King Zhao and killing Guo Kai, but now his attitude has been unpredictable in the past few months.
Moreover, there were rumors in Handan that Lord Chunping seemed to have a good relationship with Guo Kai, and even Zhao Cong, whom Lord Chunping accepted, went to Guo Kai's residence and even the palace many times.
Moving freely was not the case before.
"General, I think that there has been chaos in Handan in the past few years, and Lord Chunping, Prince Jia, and many important officials of the royal family have written documents to testify. This is so extreme that we should follow the previous words and raise troops to support the government."
Lieutenant General Sima Shang, who was standing next to Li Mu, heard the sound, glanced left and right, and bowed his hands.
"You don't need to say anything more."
"Not to mention what happened to the king and Guo Kai. I know nothing about it, but there is no actual conclusion. I can only say based on the current general situation that Qin's main force of more than 400,000 people attacks Zhao, which is worthy of a national war."
"If troops are raised to support the government at this time, if a king likes to depose and a traitor likes to kill, then the overall situation of the government and the public will be turbulent. Who will take the lead in deciding the outcome? The turmoil is no less than an opportunity for Qin to overthrow Zhao! "
Li Mu waved one hand and shook his head. Neither the king nor Guo Kai was what he was thinking about now. The most important thing now was to deal with Qin's attack on Zhao.
As his words fell, his eyes fell on the two groups of people below. One was Prince Jia's disciples, and the other was Chunping-kun's disciples. Recently, he knew what they meant.
"General!"
"Young Master has been running around and attacking the Qin Dynasty for several years, and has a lot of understanding of the situation of the Xia Dynasty and the Zhao Dynasty. If we talk about the general trend, all the countries in Shandong are now in a quagmire of confusion, unable to resist the Qin Dynasty, and almost collapse."
"The State of Zhao serves as a barrier to Shandong. If it can no longer regain its glory, not only will the State of Zhao be destroyed, but the six kingdoms of Shandong will no longer exist! The general is already the official city of the country. I only hope that the Xia State will be the most important and the overall situation of the Zhao State will be the most important. Don’t make the same mistake as Lord Xinling!”
Han Liu stood up from behind the case, walked to the center of the military tent, bowed deeply to Li Mu, and said the words in his mouth, which were quite heavy. Before leaving, the young master said to Lord Xinling, which was already extraordinary.
Lord Xinling was originally a highly respected son of the Wei royal family. He led the coalition forces to defeat Qin twice and became the mainstay of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong for a time. At that time, the Wei state was in a state of disarray, and many forces in the government and the public supported Lord Xinling to replace Wei Anli. king.
However, Lord Xinling did not dare to take action due to various scruples, so he died of depression, and the state of Wei also fell into further decline.
It is of no benefit to the Wei State or to oneself. The current situation of the Zhao State is almost the same as that.
"If something happens, who among the officials in the government and the public will be in charge of the affairs of the country?"
Sima Shang, the deputy general beside Li Mu, suddenly spoke.
"Chunping-kun no doubt!"
Pang Hao smiled slightly.
"That's not right. Chunping-kun has been invisible and dishonest for many years and has not done anything important."
Before Hallyu could say anything, Li Mu directly objected.
To be honest, I and Chunpei-kun are only one year old. Since the death of King Xiaocheng, Chunpei-kun has not had any foresight in the government and the public, so it is vain to lead the country.
"As the young master said, in a crisis situation, there is no need to seek perfection. It is not a bad idea for the general to take charge of the country's affairs on his own!"
The Korean wave followed and fell at a glance.
"Li Mu has led the army all his life, but he never dared to hope to lead the country."
However, the next moment, Li Mu made a cold remark, causing a strange atmosphere in the entire shogunate's military tent.
Not long after, everyone in the shogunate's military tent left one after another. In any case, Li Mu was now the general, and the most important thing at the moment was to fight against Qin.
"Sir, that Li Mu... is really difficult to do!"
In another city a hundred miles away from Li Mu's border army, Han Liu returned and entered an ordinary mansion in the city. He entered the main hall, looked at the familiar young master, and bowed.
"Li Mu doesn't agree with Lord Chunping to lead the country, and he doesn't want to lead the country himself?"
Wearing a light white brocade robe and a crown, with handsome features and handsome features, there was a trace of silent nobility permeating his whole body and actions. After receiving the news of the Korean Wave, Prince Jia muttered.
"yes."
Korean wave jaw.
"In Handan, it has been rumored that Lord Chunping and the Queen Mother have been together for many years and have been controlled by Guo Kai. Li Mu does not agree with him to take charge of the state affairs. I feel at ease."
"But..., Li Mu himself does not lead the state affairs, does he really think that he can unite all the forces of Zhao State and revive Zhao State by himself?"
For Li Mu, Prince Jia has stayed in the north for several years, so it can be said that he has a good understanding of him.
This man is tenacious and has never changed his views and opinions easily. His unique and unruly temperament has been known to everyone in the Zhao Kingdom for decades.
It was also because of this that the former king sent Li Mu to the frontier army and asked Li Mu to fight the Huns in his own way. Later, he was criticized by the ministers of the court and deposed by the former king, but he did not change.
He is a bit stubborn. For many years, he has had little contact with important ministers in Handan and only focuses on fighting his own battles.
This man may be a fierce general, but he is not a military commander for the country!
Li Mu refused to take charge of the government, and undoubtedly once again wanted to ignore the affairs of the court. He only wanted to command the soldiers of Zhao State and fight against Qin State, and was not willing to integrate the affairs of the court with the other generals and important ministers of Zhao State.
It is a pity that he was bent on resisting the Qin Dynasty and had no intention of contributing to the purification of national affairs.
Although what Li Mu said was true, the mutiny at this time would have a greater impact on the already weak Zhao State. Zhao State's vitality may be even more seriously damaged, so it must be done with caution.
But he had been planning for many years, and what he did was to purge the government, depose King Qian of Zhao, and kill Guo Kai. Decades ago, Zhao State had a mutiny in the sand dunes, and the young king's success was all thanks to the prestigious royal minister Zhao Cheng, who was both civil and military.
.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed.
At present, what is most lacking in the Zhao Kingdom is such a person.
Originally Chunping Jun was okay, but now that he has united King Zhao, Guo Kai and others, he is no longer useful. Although he has certain qualifications, he...does not want to be just a person in charge of national affairs.
With all these factors in mind, Li Mu is the best candidate!
If Li Mu is willing to cooperate with him, he will become the general of Zhao State at this time, unite all the generals of Zhao State, and connect all the important ministers of Zhao State. What's the use of the king knowing.
When the general trend gathers, success can be achieved in one fell swoop.
Another point is that now that Qin is attacking Zhao and the whole country is attacking Zhao, Li Mu will fight against Qin with all his strength. He may not have a chance of winning, let alone the constraints on the left and right?
During this period, Li Mu was entangled in a mutiny. On the one hand, he was unable to lead the army against Qin with all his strength, and he was unable to clean up the government with all his strength. For Zhao State to take over like this, there was only one possibility, that is, Zhao State was really going to perish.
Thinking about all these things, Tai Zijia fell into silence for a long time.
When the news reached Handan, all the important ministers who wanted to harmonize the Zhao government were also hesitant about it.
When it was introduced into Guo Kai's ears, he should be very happy.
"False father, now that Lord Chunping has collaborated with the Queen Mother and is controlled by us, and Li Mu is bent on resisting Qin, the important officials of the royal family and Prince Jia may not be able to fall down."
"Such a great event deserves a congratulation!"
In Handan Xiaobei City, Guo Kai was lying on the soft couch very leisurely at the moment. Li Mu's reaction satisfied him very much. If he hadn't always been unwilling to cooperate with the government ministers, I might not have been able to keep him here.
Now.
Now, Li Mu is dedicated to resisting Qin, which is naturally what he wants to see.
Hearing a crisp voice beside him, the smile on his face became even brighter.
With a wave of his hand, a man wearing a pink skirt and shirt approached him seductively, but his face was not visible. He had a graceful figure, a curvy figure, and a waterfall-like figure hanging behind his shoulders. His eyebrows were white and beardless.
With his bare feet on the floor, Han Cang was filled with joy as he looked at his fake father's expression at this moment. He held the wine bottle himself, poured out the mellow wine, and handed it to his fake father. His fake father was safe, and he was safe as well.
"Don't be careless."
"Li Mu has been leading troops in the north for decades, and now Qin is attacking Zhao, so it is not difficult to respond like this."
"If Qin's offensive is really blocked by Li Mu, then everything will be unknown."
Compared with Han Cang's joy and joy, although Guo Kai is also happy, but... thinking about what will happen next, Li Mu is an unstable factor after all. Within the entire Zhao Kingdom, Handan Camp and Julu Camp are under his control.
middle.
Only Li Mu can’t get enough of it!
"This... false father, why is he so helpless?"
"How about killing him?"
Han Cang raised his eyebrows and caressed his cheek with one hand, looking very feminine.
"Can't kill yet!"
"To fight against Qin, only Li Mu can do it now."
Guo Kai shook his head.
"Fake father, can Li Mu really fight against Qin?"
This time when Qin attacked Zhao, General Wang Jian led more than 400,000 troops, all of whom were newly trained soldiers. The soldiers of Zhao were far away from Zhao, not to mention that Qin also had troops from Guanwai Camp, Nanyang and other counties to support the attack.
Han Cang felt that Li Mu might not be able to resist.
"He...cannot defeat Qin!"
Guo Kai whispered softly and stood up from the soft couch. Li Muruo had defeated Qin, and he was in danger because of the general situation.
Therefore, he must not be able to defeat Qin.
It must also fail.
"But..., if Li Mu is defeated, what will happen to the fake father and me?"
Han Cang was worried. If Li Mu was defeated, the Qin army would definitely attack and destroy Zhao. Where would he and his false father go? To be destroyed together with Zhao was not what he wanted to see.
"Not in a hurry."
"We haven't reached that stage yet. Sure enough, Li Mu can resist Qin. It's not too late to help his father."
"The Qin State wants to destroy Zhao, and what it wants to destroy is the State of the King. It has nothing to do with us. If the Qin State really has a chance of winning, we can help, and we will not lose the wealth and power in front of us."
Guo Kai didn't have much nostalgia for the State of Zhao. Over the past few years, everything in the State of Zhao was under his control. He was the king of the State of Zhao. He had enjoyed the power, status, beauties... he had all enjoyed it.
My body is still fine now, but death is not my choice.
A few years ago, South Korea's Nanyang Shou Ye Teng offered the land of Nanyang and was granted the title of Nanyang Shou by King Yingzheng of Qin, making him an important minister.
If the situation changes by then and I help out, I wonder what Ying Zheng should come up with?
