Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

123

The next morning, Xianyang Palace.

Lu Buwei stepped into the side hall and saw Qin Wangzheng and Meng Yi discussing something in a low voice.

"Your Majesty." Lu Buwei said gently.

"Father Zhong is here."

Ying Zheng turned around and nodded, and then said with concern: "How is Zhong's father's wife and father?"

Lu Buwei's ever-precise smile seldom faded.

On weekdays, Lu Buwei always feels that his father-in-law is very blessed: he has no skills, but he has a close friend to protect him when he is young, and a daughter to support him when he is old.

The old man is over fifty, and apart from his white hair at the sideburns, he still looks like he is in his 40s.

But since seeing off old general Lian Po, Zhao Liang has been visibly aging.

He is almost like the previous generation, a symbol of an entire era.After all the familiar faces left, Zhao Liang didn't have any point in surviving.

In Lu Buwei's view, Zhao Liang's aging rate in these few months is faster than that of the ten years after coming to Qin.

He stood in front of the monarch, deliberating for a long time before giving a response: "If you take care of yourself properly and if you are lucky, you can probably live for a while."

The implication is that it won't be long.

Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes twinkled, but no emotion showed on his face.

"Go back and ask the palace doctor to take a look. Father Zhong will see what supplements and medicinal materials you need, just take them." Ying Zheng waved his hand to show the waiter to take notes.

Lu Buwei hurriedly saluted: "Buwei thanked the king on Weizhen's behalf."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "When I was in Handan, my wife's father also took good care of the widow."

Then the young monarch continued to ask: "Father Zhong takes good care of the elderly at home, what's the matter today?"

Lu Buwei turned his head sideways.

Wei Sheng behind him drew his knife out of its sheath without saying a word.

The sharp metal made a clanging sound, and the biting cold light refracted a cold and sharp light in the palace room.Wei Sheng neatly squared the ring-headed iron knife between his palms, and presented it to King Qin respectfully.

"Go back to the king." Wei Sheng said, "Ju Zi has forged the Huan Shou knife."

"Good knife!"

Ying Zheng sighed, but didn't take the weapon.He turned to look at Meng Yi: "Meng Qing."

Meng Yi immediately stepped forward to receive the knife.

After conquering South Korea, Meng Yi returned to his side for Ying Zheng.Leading the army in Outer Mengtian, and being a close minister in Inner Mongolia Yi is enough to show the trust and reuse of the monarch in Mengshi.

The young boy in the past is now an important minister who can stand on his own.

He took the handle of the knife and waved it out of thin air, and he realized the difference between a long knife and a long sword.

"Single-edged long knives are more suitable for immediate combat." Meng Yi said: "Madam is a good idea!"

"Can this defeat Zhao Jun?" Ying Zheng asked.

Meng Yi shivered.

This... who dares to make a conclusion!

Qin State announced that if Zhao State did not return Yan Crown Prince Pill to Yan State, it would send troops to support it.Zhao Guo refused to listen, so Qin Guo sent 20 troops to divide into two groups. One was led by Meng Tian to support the Yan army, and the other was led by Wang Jian to point directly at Handan, the capital of Zhao.

Zhao Wangyan ordered Li Mu to lead his army to resist.

A few days ago, when the two armies collided, no one expected that it was Qin's army that had the upper hand!

Today's Qin State's main combat power is cavalry, while Zhao State is still infantry.A well-equipped and absolutely superior cavalry army fought back and forth with Zhao's infantry.

"At present, the Qin army has entered the territory of Zhao State, so it may be too late." Meng Yi said euphemistically: "If the equipment is replaced and the training is completed before the expedition, the chances of winning may be better."

But it is so easy to make a long knife for 20 people.

Qin's conquest strategy is to fight quickly, and it is absolutely impossible to wait a year or two to change the weapons of soldiers.

"However, even if it's not necessary to attack Zhao, it will be useful in the future." Meng Yi added.

"pity."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He frowned, but the topic changed from Huan Shou Chang Dao: "I heard that in today's Zhao State, General Li Mu is known as the God of War, and he has learned a lot today. It's a pity that he can't serve Qin. used by the country."

Whether or not to use a long knife does not necessarily determine the outcome of the battle.

However, Li Mu, the biggest obstacle to Qin's inability to quickly destroy Zhao, will definitely cause trouble.

The monarch himself praised the enemy's general, which made Meng Yi, who was born as a general, somewhat feel guilty.

Especially since he also met Li Mu!

When he was young, his elder father sent Meng Yi to Handan to serve as a guard for King Qin. When he saw Li Mu, the so-called "Military God" was just a young man who was not a few years older than himself and just about to join the army.

At that time, Meng Yi was still thinking, he didn't even have any achievements, and he didn't know how good he was, so how could he get the kind invitation from Mrs. Weizhen to join Qin?

Check out the results now...

Destroy the Xiongnu, attack the Yan State, and resist the pace of the Qin State's iron cavalry.

All the way here, this person has never been defeated.Li Mu uses soldiers like a god, and in Meng Yi's eyes, he is almost in the same position as Mrs. Wei Zhen, who knows everything and is omnipotent.

"When I was in Handan, I felt that General Li Mu respected Mrs. Weizhen very much." Meng Yi said: "Madam can be regarded as understanding and moving with reason. He is not a fool. Why does he have to stay in Zhao State? Could it be Zhao Wangyan? What else can I do to be a wise king, Meng Yi doesn't understand why General Li Mu would..."

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment, seeing that the monarch and Xiangguo waited for him to finish speaking, and then said directly: "Why are you so foolish and loyal?"

Lu Buwei couldn't help but shook his head.

On his clear face, the smile returned.

"General Li Mu is not loyal to you." Lu Buwei retorted nicely, "He is not loyal to King Zhao, but to ordinary people of Zhao State."

Meng Yi paused and suddenly realized.

Lu Buwei: "People in this world come and go bustling, and the purpose of defecting to various countries is nothing more than fame and fortune. But if it is not for fame and fortune, no matter how strong Qin is and how weak Zhao is, it doesn't make any sense to Li Mu. What he wants is not These."

"Some people are destined to be unable to force them to come." Lu Buwei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why should you worry about Mengqing? Our generals in Daqin are not vegetarians."

"The widow just doesn't understand."

Ying Zheng continued: "General Li Mu is brave, and everyone admires him. However, the military strength and combat power of Qin's army are all higher than that of Zhao State. How can it be that the poor and weak Zhao State cannot fight quickly?"

Lu Buwei smiled.

"Buwei has something to say." He said calmly: "It's just that the minister is not good at using soldiers, and it's just a family's opinion. Would the king listen to it?"

"Father Zhong, please speak."

"Buwei remembers that Weizhen once said to the king in the past that a king is not afraid that his subjects will ask for something, but he is afraid of not asking for anything." Lu Buwei said eloquently: "Actually, it is more than just being a king? People and people, countries and The same is true for the country. If you want nothing, you will have no scruples, so you have no weakness."

"Father Zhong thinks that General Li Mu is someone who wants nothing." Ying Zheng said.

"Actually, there are."

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "It's just that he asked too much, so big that it can be said that he didn't have it."

Ying Zheng: "Father Zhong, please discuss in detail."

Lu Buwei: "Buwei has the courage to think about it. General Li Mu wants the people of Zhao to be healthy and not to be invaded by other countries. In this way, there is a difference between the Qin army and the Zhao army."

"The state of Qin judges its merits by killing the enemy, from the generals to the soldiers. It is not only for the country but also for itself. But Li Mu's Zhao army is different. With such a leader, Daoyi stands by Li Mu's side, and the people's will, Whether he wins or loses, morality and righteousness stand by Zhao Guo's side.

"In this way, Zhao Jun is not afraid of death or fear, and the whole army is united as one, plus a general who uses soldiers like a god, naturally he is not as easy to fight as South Korea." Lu Buwei concluded: "If you want to fight, Qin Jun is not afraid of fighting, but When we sent troops, we planned to fight quickly, but it was difficult."

When Lu Buwei mentioned the difference between the Qin and Zhao armies, Ying Zheng's pair of handsome eyebrows frowned.

Obviously, he still doesn't like the "benevolence and righteousness" that Lu Buwei said.

But when Lu Buwei talked about the latter, the young man's brows gradually relaxed.

"Father Zhong already has countermeasures." Ying Zheng said firmly.

"There's no need to procrastinate and waste troops here in Zhao State." Lu Buwei said without hesitation, "Li Mu wholeheartedly defends the country for the people, but the country does not belong to Zhao people."

In a simple sentence, Ying Zheng immediately understood what Lu Buwei meant.

If the country does not belong to the Zhao people, who would it be?

It belongs to King Zhao.

Ying Zheng knew Zhao Yan too well.

This person's mind is only the size of a needle tip, and his vision is really limited.Even if he was wrong, Zhao Yan would not reflect on it.

With the old general Lian Po's situation first, he will also replace Li Mu in the same way if he uses a strategy of alienation.

If you are not used by Qin, then you don't want to be reused by Zhao.

This can indeed save the Qin army on the front line a lot of effort, but...

Ying Zheng pursed his lips and fell silent.

Lu Buwei closed his eyes, stepped back half a step, raised his hands and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng.

"My lord." Lu Buwei sighed, "Buwei knows what your lord is worried about—General Li Mu is Weizhen, an old friend of your lord. He is not like Lian Po. If Zhao doesn't use it, he may have no way out."

After speaking, he looked up.

Lu Buwei sincerely pleaded: "But Li Mu is an old friend of the king, and the soldiers who fought for the king are not more important than an old friend!"

…………

……

At the same time, Zhao Guo Jingxing.

"General."

The lieutenant general dressed in Zhao Zhou stepped into the camp with a tired expression: "Although we won this battle, we suffered heavy losses. If this continues, we won't be able to hold out for long."

The general in the tent opened his eyes.

Li Mu looked up at his lieutenant general, and nodded calmly.

"It doesn't matter." He said calmly: "The purpose of the Qin army is to fight quickly, and a victory is enough to stop the pace."

Before that, Li Mu had never fought against Qin Jun.

But he knew that Qin's cavalry was different from that of the Huns.

The heavy cavalry in heavy armor is like a huge chariot. If the chariot is not stopped at the Jingxing pass and the chariot is fully launched, there will be no possibility of intercepting it again.

Li Mu stood up while speaking.

A battle was fought for several days, and he never closed his eyes for several days.

As the deputy general walked out of the battalion commander, the rising sun reflected on Li Mu's resolute face, the general's expression was also mixed with fatigue, and his eyes were bloodshot.

But his eyes are bright.

It is brighter than the sunlight that is thrown over it.

"Handan is behind you."

Li Mu clenched his waist saber tightly, and said loudly to the soldiers and horsemen in front of him, "Boys, we can't take a single step back!"
