Eight hundred and forty-eighth chapter superstar falls
"Haotian Wuji, Fu Wei tells him!"
"General Li Mu led the army to fight against Qin, and kept the Qin soldiers from crossing Taihang to protect the health of the Zhao people. He has done great service, and I will give him a title to honor his name and show his merits."
"In the city of Wu'an, the general has a settlement of 30,000 households, and his title is Lord Wu'an!"
"Haha, General, even though the king is far away in the palace of Handan, he still knows that the general has made great achievements in resisting Qin in the past few months. More than 400,000 Qin soldiers were pinned down in the Taihang Mountains, all because of the general."
"Now that I have been awarded the title of Lord Wu'an, this is what I should do!"
Several months had passed since the first battle with Qin General Wang Jian. Qin and Zhao were still in a state of confrontation. Although there were small-scale battles, they were not major battles. Despite this, Li Mu still had to stay here.
I never thought that now, I have not lost any military achievements, but I have been rewarded with titles.
In the shogunate of the Chinese Army, Shangqing Guo Kai personally brought Zhao Wangqian's letter of commendation, a grand guard of honor, and a large amount of financial rewards. After a few months, he once again entered Li Mu's place.
"Li Mu fought with the Qin State and had no military exploits, so how could he get a title?"
Wearing heavy black armor, Li Mu looked a little ugly when he heard Guo Kai's words. He had not made any achievements in the past few months, but the king just rewarded him with the title of Lord Wu'an.
It really doesn't taste good.
"Haha, what Mr. Wu An said is different. Who can say that there is no meritorious service? With Mr. Wu An sitting here, the Zhao Kingdom can enjoy peace, the Zhao people can work in peace, and the king can also rest in peace."
"All these are great achievements. Lord Wu'an certainly means that only by killing the enemy can we be considered worthy of meritorious deeds. So, what about us ministers in the court who have never killed enemy soldiers?"
Guo Kai was wearing a crimson brocade robe, with his hair tied up and a crown. He looked at the general Li Mu in front of him and smiled brightly. He looked around and then looked at the other generals in the military tent with a very kind smile.
"Li Mu didn't mean this!"
Li Mu frowned, looked at the document of conferment sent by Guo Kai, and shook his head.
"Haha, I should know that Lord Wu An didn't mean this."
"It's midsummer now, taxes have been put into the treasury, and Lord Wu'an is once again contending with the Qin army. As soon as we have enough food, grass and baggage, I will never let Lord Wu'an worry."
"Does Mr. Wu An have any other requests?"
Guo Kai held the brocade document in both hands and smiled brightly. He took a small step closer and looked at Li Mu who had not yet received the document. He was not in a hurry and spoke slowly, with a hint of something different.
"Not required."
Li Mu said in a deep voice.
It is not a good thing that this title fell at this time. In Handan now, the king ignores the state affairs and responds to everything, all in the hands of Guo Kai. In other words, this title was given to him by Guo Kai.
But Li Mu didn't want any of Guo Kai's benefits.
But what the other party said about the food, grass and baggage was just something that bothered him. He didn't know how long the confrontation with the Qin army would be in the future. Without enough food, grass and baggage, he definitely couldn't sustain it.
"That's it, I will receive the title of Lord Wu'an!"
Guo Kai took a small step forward again and handed the document in his hand to Sima Shang beside him.
"General."
"The general has been stationed in the north for thirty years. He has performed meritoriously while stationed at the border. He has also performed meritoriously in going south to attack Zhao. Now that he has been awarded such a title, it should be congratulated to the general!"
Deputy General Sima Shang also gave Guo Kai a cold look.
He looked at the document in his hand again. In any case, it seemed that the document could not be thrown away. Even so, the next step was to step forward and salute to the general as a declaration.
"Wu Anjun!"
"Wu Anjun!"
"..."
Immediately, the entire shogunate's military tent was filled with happy words.
Now that the general is Lord Wu'an, he has a high and powerful position. If he really succeeds in resisting the Qin Dynasty, his title will be even higher.
Hearing this and seeing the situation, Li Mu was speechless. Although it was not a pleasant feeling, he still followed the usual practice of holding a banquet in the shogunate and inviting everyone to drink together. Although it was not a real joy, it was considered a formality.
.
"It is a great blessing for me to be able to share the same knowledge with Lord Wu An and lead the country's affairs together. It is a great blessing for me!"
After the prince fell, Guo Kai stood up from behind the desk and bowed deeply to Li Mu.
The old and profound words fell.
"From today on, all generals will be promoted or demoted as long as they are approved by Lord Wu'an. I will ensure that the king's life is intact."
Immediately, the conversation changed and he looked at the many generals in the shogunate at this moment.
"What do you mean by the old minister, is the seal of King Zhao in the leather box on your waist?"
Lieutenant General Sima Shang responded coldly.
"I have an appointment with Lord Wu An: we share the honor and disgrace, and we will rule the Kingdom of Zhao together. King An of Zhao will not listen!"
Guo Kai seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and still had a slight smile on his old face.
Suddenly, the entire shogunate fell into silence. The faces of each general were shocked, and their eyes fell unconsciously on the general.
Guo Kai's words seemed to have a profound meaning.
"There is no joke in the army."
"How could the old minister be so careless about state affairs and involving King Zhao?"
Li Mu also frowned and felt very irritable. Sensing the eyes on him, he solemnly raised his hands and said,
"Haha, at this moment, I really shouldn't say these words. I should treat them as follow-up words."
Guo Kai waved his hand and returned to his seat.
Hearing this, Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he did not continue the banquet in the military tent. He simply drank a few sips, waved his sleeves and dispersed the banquet, and left the shogunate in the name of patrol.
Guo Kai didn't have any objections from the beginning to the end. After having enough wine and food, he returned to Handan safely.
"General, on this occasion, we should send troops into Handan to kill Guo Kai, depose the king of Zhao, and save the country of Zhao."
The person who came was Han Liu, who was beside Prince Jia. He had good martial arts skills. Guo Kai had only left for two days before he entered the Li Mu military camp. He approached and said something important today.
"For the time being, how about defeating the Qin State and then taking action?"
Li Mu responded casually.
"General, the two armies have been facing each other for several months now. The Qin soldiers dare not act rashly. They want to help annihilate the Zhao state in one fell swoop. Fighters are hard to find. This is the perfect opportunity for us."
"Moreover, there is news coming from Xianyang. In Xianyang Palace, the Queen Mother Huayang is dying. I am afraid she will be in critical condition soon. As expected, this is a great opportunity that cannot be missed."
Han Liu bowed his hands and said what Prince Jia had ordered, as well as the words of the elders and important ministers in Handan.
As soon as his voice fell, in the military tent, the deputy general Sima Shang nodded. If this is really the case, it is a good opportunity.
"In the current situation, if we don't take action, we can still conquer Zhao, but if we take action, Zhao will be destroyed! Zhao can only be rectified after defeating the main force of the Qin army!"
After pondering for a moment, he immediately shook his head, not agreeing with what he was doing now.
Nowadays, on both sides of the Taihang Mountains, the Qin army continues to test and advance. The main force is more than 400,000, and it is obvious that it is coming to destroy Zhao. At this time, the Handan incident will inevitably cause chaos in the court for a period of time.
As mentioned before, given the current situation of the Zhao State, if Guo Kai wants to preserve the power of King Zhao and himself, he must fully support the border troops to resist Qin, at least not to set traps for the war against Qin.
"General, as expected the Queen Mother Huayang's death was missed, and the power of Qin State became even more concentrated."
"When it comes to time, you should miss the opportunity to do something."
Korean Wave is unwilling to accept this, and it is another word.
"Could it be that the general, now that he has received the title of Lord Wu'an, really thinks that he will be able to jointly rule Zhao with Guo Kai if he has meritorious service in the future?"
Looking at Li Mu who was silent above him, Han Liu snorted coldly, looking rather contemptuous.
At this point, Li Mu was speechless.
Not long after, the Korean Wave left the shogunate.
"How could the general not know who Guo Kai is?"
"No way!"
"No way!"
In the military tent, all the generals left one after another, leaving only Li Mu. Looking at the previous position of Han Liu, he sighed softly. The reason why he advocated not to start an uprising at this time was because he expected that Guo Kai would not
Zhao will be destroyed at the expense of Li Mu and the border troops.
After all, only if he leads an army to protect the State of Zhao can Guo Kai and Zhao Qian continue to be in power. Li Mu believes that Guo Kai will not fail to see this.
Li Mu's strategy was: Only by truly defeating the main force of Qin, defeating the Qin army again, and truly gaining a period of peace, could the domestic affairs of Zhao be rectified. However, looking at it now, no matter how clear it is in my heart, it is difficult to argue with it at this time.
.
According to the comments of many people, as long as Guo Kai is involved, no matter how he defends himself, it seems that there is no way to start.
Seven days later.
Sure enough, news came from the Qin State that in the Xianyang Harem, in the midsummer, Queen Mother Huayang passed away in Xianyang Palace. Xianyang Palace mourned her greatly and the whole country mourned her.
