Chapter 66

The person who came to take over the military power was responsible for sending Li Mu back to Handan.

After all, Li Mu was a famous general. The matter was not yet concluded, and no one dared to put shackles on him, so Li Mu was still very free along the way. However, he did not think about running away, but went back to explain clearly to King Zhao that if he wanted to surrender to Qin, why did he have to do so many twists and turns and take the people below to the Qin State directly?

I think he had a lifetime of military service, defeating the Xiongnu in the north and defeating the Qin army in the west, and how could he endure such stigma on his head? Not to mention himself, he still has so many soldiers under him. What if the charges they detained were confirmed?

Thinking of that night, he was just talking about the youngest son in the family, Li Mu felt very happy.

Li Mu is not a person who doesn't understand the times. On the contrary, he can see clearly that someone is attacking him behind his back this time, but even though he knows that this trip is likely to go but never return, he still has to go back to Handan. He still has to go to King Zhao to explain everything clearly. It's very simple to leave. What if he leaves?

When Li Mu and his party walked to the county town near Handan, it was almost dark. The imperial envoys decided to take a rest in the county town and then found a tavern to drink.

Li Mu was unintentional to drink, but several imperial envoys took turns to pour him some wine and let him drink a little. When is it time for him to treat himself as a general?

Li Mu felt even more depressed when he heard their cold words. It was said that the tiger fell into a flat sun and was bullied by a dog. This was true. These people on weekdays dared not speak out in front of him, but now they dare to sarcastically sarcastically at him.

Li Mu poured the wine in front of him without saying a word.

One of them immediately filled him with it. Just as Li Mu was about to let him drink the wine again, someone laughed and shouted, "Oh, isn't this General Li?"

Li Mu looked up and saw that the little uncle, who was whipped by his subordinates last time, came in. The little uncle was wearing a brocade dress and looked very likable, but he was spoiled since he was a child and bullied the market. Thanks to his beautiful face, he would have been a person who would hate him personally.

It is actually not considered a good person to say that he is the little uncle. His sister is just the favorite concubine of King Zhao. If he is not the one who is not the one who can make trouble, his mouth is particularly sweet and his temperament is extremely lively. He often causes little trouble, but he is not a real traitor and evil person. He is like a cat who only loves to make trouble. King Zhao is particularly lenient to him.

When Xiao Guo uncle saw Li Mu, he was surprised. After being surprised, he went over to send Li Mu back to Handan to the neighboring table and sat down happily opposite Li Mu. It was obvious that he heard that Li Mu was in trouble and was about to take advantage of the situation. He sighed carelessly: "Oh, I heard that you defected to Qin, why would you dare to come back?"

Li Mu ignored him.

The little uncle said again: "Where are you sleeping tonight? The traitor must have no beds to sleep, right? I have a house here, and I'm going to rest tonight. Speaking of which, the stables there are still empty, why don't I give you a night?"

The envoys next to him were so happy that they would not have to talk to him if he had this little uncle who was very brave enough to speak.

Although Li Mu kept silent, the little uncle was still tirelessly squeezing Li Mu. He had fun and could drink, and several Qinshi quickly got drunk, and soon they drank and fell down.

After talking for a long time, Xiao Guogong felt a little thirsty, so he poured a glass of wine into his mouth. After filling it, he felt that the wine was not good, so he immediately vomited it out.

Li Mu frowned and looked at him: "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Guogong asked someone to bring a bowl of water, and Guru Guru took a bite, which was quenching his thirst. He said, "I didn't want to do anything. Today I was hunting near my greenhouse and found a group of people discussing something sneakily and asked someone to take a look. Unexpectedly, they felt very angry after eavesdropping on the other party's conversation, so they knocked the other party out. Now people are still tied up in my house. Why don't you go and help me solve it? I dare not kill people, and I'm afraid they will cause trouble for me in the future!"

Li Mu looked up at him suddenly, his momentum was a little scary.

Xiao Guo's eyes widened, bluffed and straightened his back, stared at Li Mu and said, "I am just an ordinary person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. I am not as good as you, and I am not as good as those literati, and I will definitely not be able to leave a name in history. I have never had any lofty ideals since I was a child. I really don't want to get involved in these trashing things about you."

While speaking, Xiao Guogong moved back a little quietly, obviously afraid that Li Mu would attack him. However, he didn't calm down and continued to slap: "These things really have nothing to do with me. The people under me admire you very much. When they heard someone say they wanted to get you drunk and chop your head, they took the initiative to tie the people back to my house. You go and deal with them, and go wherever you want to go in the future." He looked at Li Mu's face and added, "Don't mention that I've told you about this, I'm afraid someone will take revenge on me!"

Li Mu has seen many people, but he has never seen a guy like him who has so many servants who can beat him, but he is even afraid to order to kill people to silence him.

He had been in the army for a long time and no longer felt that killing was a great thing.

Seeing the pair of eyes as vigilant as the cat in front of him, Li Mu suddenly realized that perhaps the people living in a peaceful and prosperous era should be like this, and he always has awe of human lives, and even if he holds a sharp knife, he dares not easily get involved in human lives.

What is ironic is that what gives him this feeling is the ignorant and domineering little uncle who is said to be the ignorant and domineering little country.

Moreover, this little uncle accidentally encountered the group of people who planned to cut off his head while he was drunk, and even ran over to warn him!

Li Mu stood up and said, "Lead the way."

The little uncle was overjoyed and was busy leading the way for Li Mu.

After nightfall, there were no people outside. They took advantage of the night to come to Xiaoguo's mansion. Perhaps because he felt safe when he arrived at his place, Xiaoguo's uncle became braver and came to Li Mu to ask him: "Can you take them out and kill them? I will not dare to come in the future!"

Li Mu asked him to continue leading the way without saying a word.

There are ten people in this group. It can be seen that they were from the army. Li Mu recognized them at a glance. They were Zhao Cong's people. It seems that Zhao Cong was afraid that he would explain the matter clearly after returning to Handan and get the military power back!

When the little uncle saw Li Mu standing there, he hurriedly urged him: "You get the person away quickly." After that, he expressed his opinion, "I think you don't go back to Handan. I don't know how many people in Handan want to kill you, but not everyone is as broad-minded as me!"

Li Mu said, "I want to go back and explain clearly."

Xiao Guogong stopped persuading him, but just asked him to take the person away quickly. After saying that, he ran away quickly, very afraid that Li Mu would get tired of him. Be good, that was a crime of treason, and his neck became cold after thinking about it!

Li Mu took away those ten people, Xiao Guogong didn't know how he got the ten people away, but no one came to him after he returned to Handan. I think Li Mu was still a little capable and was very righteous and did not let the matter involve him.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, the little uncle went out to play with his friends again. It took him a few days before he heard the news from the palace that Li Mu was imprisoned. Many court officials kept writing letters to impeach Li Mu, saying that he had done so much bad things and gained a lot of personal wealth. Not only did he treason, he was also splashed with dirty water.

A few days later, Xiao Guo uncle heard that Zhao Cong had sent back a few heads. It was said that Li Mu's confidant conspired to rebel. If it hadn't been discovered early, they would have gathered to fight back to Handan.

King Zhao was furious and immediately ordered the killing of a large number of people, not only to say that he was going to choose a day to kill Li Mu.

Others responded inconsistently, some encouraged King Zhao to kill Li Mu quickly, some actively strived for division and annexation of Li Mu's old subordinates, and some took advantage of the situation or cleaned up their belongings and were ready to run away.

In short, after this incident, Zhao State was completely in chaos.

Wang Jian received the news that Li Mu was imprisoned at the first time. He did not miss this opportunity and immediately gathered the army that had already rested to the best state, and divided the troops with his son Wang Ben to break through the border line of Zhao.

Zhao Cong seized military power from Li Mu, but failed to unify the morale of the army. After he killed a group of Li Mu's confidants, many people held grudges against him. It took a lot of effort to integrate these people. Therefore, when the Qin army led by Wang Jian attacked fiercely, he had no power to resist!

It was too late to think that the people of Zhao could not help the outside world. The Qin army, who had been raising their energy for a long time, was like a wild beast that had been hungry for a long time, frantically snatching and biting it in Zhao's territory and quickly took down one city after another in Zhao.

In less than two months, Wang Jian even took Zhao Cong's head!

When King Zhao saw the momentum of the Qin army, he was immediately scared. He didn't care about his face and went to prison to invite Li Mu back to the army.

Li Mu put on his armor again and gathered an elite army to firmly defend Handan, but whenever he reached the right time, many familiar faces flashed through his mind. They did not die on the battlefield, but died under the blade of their own people. Who can Zhao blame for facing such a dilemma?

Li Mu felt sad, but he still wanted to cheer up and defend the city.

The Qin army was too strong and the Zhao people lost their fighting spirit. Even if he had the ability to be in heaven, he could not bring Zhao out of difficulties.

What's more, he doesn't have the ability to reach heaven.

Li Mu held on for three days and three nights without closing his eyes. He ordered his soldiers to defend Handan to death, and did not allow Qin Shi to step into Handan for half a step. Unfortunately, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao State was at the end of his strength.

Guo Kai didn't want Li Mu to hold on at all. If he could hold on, he wouldn't be sure that after the Qin army broke through the city, he would not only not have the chance to surrender on behalf of Zhao, but he would even be massacred by the Qin army who had fought hard for many days.

You should know that Qin was born in the western frontier and was naturally barbaric. After fighting for a long time, he would definitely vent his anger!

Guo Kai quickly persuaded King Zhao and asked King Zhao to order Li Mu to withdraw and open the city gate to surrender. Anyway, they were not the first one to surrender. Didn’t King Han surrender early? I heard that King Han is doing a good life now, and it didn’t delay him from eating, drinking and having fun after he lost South Korea.

King Zhao has always trusted Guo Kai, and he felt that Li Mu could not hold on anymore. After hearing what Guo Kai said, he sat quietly all night. After dawn, he took out the Heshi Bi that had asked the King of Qin to seize, and handed it to Guo Kai to offer the Heshi Bi to Wang Jian, and at the same time ordered Li Mu to remove from the city tower.

When Li Mu heard this order, he vomited a mouthful of blood that had been depressed in his heart for many days. Under the panic gaze of the soldiers, he reached out to support the cold city wall and slowly knelt on the ground, his face losing all blood.

Zhao State is gone!

The author has something to say:

Fu Xiaosu: Where is me?

Ying Zheng: Where is me?

Zhang Liang: I'm not here either.
