Chapter 8

"Sir, why don't you leave?" A Tiger Ben Guard asked Zhou Chong in confusion. Zhou Chong was the same. He said goodbye to King Zhao and refused Guo Kai's invitation. He stopped before he walked far. He couldn't ask the Tiger Ben Guard to be curious.

Zhou Chong replied without thinking, "Wait for someone."

"Wait for someone?" The Hu Ben Guard was even more surprised.

Zhou Chong explained his doubts and said, "Waiting for General Li Mu."

"What are you waiting for him?" The tiger guard Qi went to Jiaqi, and didn't know how to speak.

Zhou Chong's answer was even more surprising, saying, "Wait until he comes to invite me to drink."

The Hu Ben Guard held back the funny thing and was about to say how could this be possible. Before he could say it, Li Mu came over with two soldiers, clasped his fists at Zhou Chong, and said, "Mr. Zhou, Li Mu is polite here."

Zhou Chong returned to the courtesy and said, "General Li, Zhou Chong is polite."

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Mu thought Mr. Zhou had gone far away. It seems that I was worrying in vain. I can work less on both legs."

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Isn't this waiting for the general? The general's wine has not been drunk yet. Where can I, Zhou Chong?"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhou is talking quickly, I'll make up for this wine." Li Mu laughed happily and said, "Mr. Zhou used a trick to make people thirsty drink poisonous wine. Even though he knew that the wine was poisonous, he had to drink it.

Gao, Gao, really! Li Mu claimed to be using a plan that was not inferior to others. After seeing Mr. Zhou’s plan, Li Mu would not be able to accept it. This wine would be happy to drink!"

People have always believed that using tricks means making fakes into real, and making reals into fakes means making black and white indistinguishable, and deceive people. This is reasonable, but not completely correct. There is another state of using tricks, which is to make things clear.

Let you know that he is using a trick, and you have to bump up by yourself. This is particularly clear during the Warring States Period when the strategists crossed. Isn’t this the case with Su Qin and Zhang Yi?

Li Mu's heart is as bright as a mirror. Zhou Chong dug a huge pit for Zhao State, but because the strength is disproportionate and the initiative is in the hands of the King of Qin, Li Mu has to jump down. Zhou Chong asked Zhao State to destroy Yan State to save himself, but in fact there is no difference between thirsty people drinking poison wine.

However, Zhao State had to follow it. This strategy was not only high, but also amazing.

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Does General Li praise me or harm me? Destroying Yan is the only way to strengthen himself in Zhao State at present. In addition to giving up this, please forgive Zhou Chong's ignorance. I can't think of a better way than this."

Li Mu nodded in agreement and said, "Destroying Yan and strengthening Zhao. It is indeed a good way. If this strategy had been ten or eight years earlier, it would not be poisoned to drink, but the only way to make a strong country. Now, it is only possible to take one step at a time.

No matter how good or bad the battle was fought, it fulfilled Qin's wishes and depleted the strength of our Zhao State."

After all, Li Mu was still unwilling to attack Yan State. But driven by Zhou Chong's word "rest assured", he dared not refuse to follow.

If you don't attack Yan State, you don't have to think that the King of Qin will use troops to Zhao State immediately. If you attack Yan State, maybe you won't attract the King of Qin army. There is still a glimmer of hope for Zhao State's strong territory, so he has to do it.

Zhou Chong did not want this famous general to be too pessimistic, so he comforted him: "Planning depends on people, and becoming adults depends on heaven. Whether or not it depends on the will of heaven. If you don't even plan, then things will definitely not be accomplished.

General Li just gave his destiny to do his best, so why bother to be discouraged?”

"Yes, yes! Mr. Zhou is right. Li Mu just does his best. Later generations will be satisfied if they don't scold me for being misleading the country." Li Mu held Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, please drink three drinks from the house. How about it?"

Zhou Chong joked and said, "General Li, can there be poisoned wine in your house? Zhou Chong is a thirsty person. He wants to drink poisoned wine."

"I'm joking, I'm joking. Please!" Li Mu pulled Zhou into his car and went straight to the general's mansion.

When he arrived at General Li Mu's mansion, Zhou Chong felt awe.

Needless to say, the General's Mansion was given by King Zhao. It was big and grand enough, and there were many houses, only a few people were offered to run away. There were only more than twenty soldiers, three or five servants, and two girls in the mansion.

Li Mu, a famous general who has been famous for all ages, actually has only such a few people in his mansion. It is really beyond Zhou Chong's expectations and praised: "General, loyal and honest, is honest and upright, Zhou Chongda admires him from the bottom of his heart."

"The soldiers are used to eating hungry and drinking thirsty. If they live too leisurely, they are not used to it." Li Mu expressed his true nature as a soldier. Throughout history, famous generals have not known ordinary people. How many people can be like Li Mu?

Zhou Chong blurted out and praised: "The general does not forget the danger. Staying at home is like governing the army, and it is a true general!"

Li Mudao said ashamed and invited Zhou Chong to sit down and ask the soldiers to attend the banquet. Zhou Chong saw that Li Mu's banquet was the simplest thing he had to attend, including a pot of wine, two plates of meat, a plate of small tea, and a bowl of soup. That's all.

I remember the grand show and a wide range of delicious dishes that day when I was having dinner with Li Yuan that day, it was simply incomparable. If I were in Li Yuan’s mansion, this dish could only be eaten by dogs, maybe the dogs in Li Yuan’s family would be better than this one.

Zhou Chong's respect for Li Mudi was a little more, and he said, "The general is in a high position and is in power. The nations are scared when they hear the name of the general. Zhou Chong never expected that the general's banquet was so simple. Zhou Chong admired the high court of the general and was so arrogant."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou is too rewarded." He poured wine for Zhou Chong, and then said, "The deer and hare are made by Li Mu himself. This side dish is grown by an insider. Mr. Zhou is expert, so Li Mu doesn't have to be vulgar and make three tables and five tables."

He said this to Zhou Chong's heart. Zhou Chong tapped on the table and praised: "I deeply appreciate my heart! Zhou Chong has many banquets, but he is not as happy as the general's banquet!"

Li Mu picked up the wine glass and said, "This first glass of wine, Li Mu respects Mr. Zhou, and Xie Zhou does not kill Li Mu.

"In front of King Zhao, the two were quarreling and Li Mu was at a disadvantage. If Zhou Chong deliberately harmed him, as long as he took advantage of the victory and made up something, Guo Kai agreed to the situation, and Li Mu would be unable to take advantage of it, and maybe he would be sent to prison.

Zhou Chong had not thought about this, but Li Mu was so admired by him that he really couldn't bear to let him get wronged, so he accumulated virtue. Li Mu said that he couldn't say that Zhou Chong was not able to see that Zhou Chong had mercy, but that was because he had said that.

"The general is so polite. The general is extremely virtuous. Zhou Chong admires the general. How can he ruin his life? If you want to thank him, thank you General Gao Jie!" Zhou Chong was very humble and drank it in one sip and praised: "Good wine!"

To be honest, Li Muzhi's wine is just a normal wine in the market, so where is it better? The reason why Zhou Chong applauded was not that the wine was good, but that Li Muren, who drank with Zhou Chong.

If you drink two taels of alcohol, you can sacrifice your life if you drink with the person you like! If you are good at drinking, you will have the mentality of drinking!

Li Mu drank it dry and claimed it was wonderful, saying, "Although this wine is ordinary, it is wonderful to drink with someone like Mr. Zhou!" He poured it for Zhou Chong and said, "I asked Mr. Zhou to drink this cup. Li Mu had a heartless request."

Zhou Chong drank it dry in one sip, shiny the bottom of the cup, and said, "The general has something to say, as long as Zhou Chong can do it, Zhou Chong dares not do his best."

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Mu's request is for both public and private, and it is really hard to speak out." He sighed.

Zhou Chong's curiosity was raised to him and said, "It's okay for general to talk."
