Chapter 2 Li Mu(1/2)
"The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and it will be ten thousand and the sky will last for nine days."
This is what Zhao Jia said to him, and it is also what the future god of war Li Mu.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help.
When the older generation of famous ministers and military generals of Zhao State withered, Li Mu would rise like a comet and stun the six countries.
At that time, Li Mu was incredible and was even named Wu'an Jun by Zhao.
This is what King Zhao told everyone that Li Mu is Bai Qi from my Zhao Kingdom and the God of War in the minds of Zhao people.
In fact, Li Mu is indeed the case.
He was as invincible as Bai Qi, as powerful as Bai Qi, and was also named Wu'an Jun like Bai Qi.
Even their endings are surprisingly similar.
The two peerless war gods all had great achievements to shock the master, but they were wrongly killed by the superiors, which was a pity.
The difference is that after Bai Qi was wrongly killed by the King of Qin, Qin still emerged in many famous generals, and eventually swept across the six countries and unify the world.
On the other hand, Li Mu, a few years after his death, Zhao was destroyed by Qin.
Li Mu died, Zhao State was destroyed.
When later generations read this history, I don’t know how many people sighed and scolded, sighed for Li Mu, and scolded King Zhao in a daze.
The inns in Handan City are not simple.
However, after Li Mu returned to Kyoto, he was not summoned by King Zhao, but stayed in the inn, which was a sense of inexplicable humiliation.
In the inn, Li Mu, who was in his early thirties, had a clear and angular face as if he was cut by a knife.
He has a tall and majestic figure, his breath is hidden and condensed, and his eyes are like cold stars in the sky, with bright light.
"Why!"
Li Mu stood up and sighed heavily, but a little sad face appeared on his angular face.
"The King summoned me back to Handan this time, and the Northern Frontier garrison will change its lord. Will years of planning be destroyed?"
Over the years, Li Mu has invested too much effort in northern Xinjiang.
He really didn't want to see that his years of planning had become a bubble.
"General, someone is visiting."
Just when Li Mu was upset, he suddenly heard the follower's report and immediately calmed down his sorrow, but he felt a little confused.
"I went back to Handan for a few days, not only was the king's neglect, but even the court officials did not bother with me, and no one came to visit me."
"Today's state banquet, almost all the nobles went to the banquet. Who would come to visit me?"
Li Mu frowned slightly and asked, "Has that person ever reported his name?"
The follower replied, "You report to the general, that man called himself the king's eldest grandson Zhao Jia."
"Wang Changsun Zhao Jia."
"It's interesting that he doesn't go to the state banquet, but comes to visit me, a person who is afraid of fighting."
Li Mu murmured in a low voice, but his face showed an inexplicable expression.
Although Zhao Jia was suppressed by Li Ji, Wang Changsun's identity was placed there. It is impossible for him to know the important officials in the border areas such as Li Mu.
"Please!"
Li Mu sorted out his clothes and then went to greet him in person.
However, Zhao Jia brought Yu Zhu and the two bought a lot of things and came to the inn to visit Li Mu.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu was extremely strict in governing the army.
Even though he returned to Beijing this time, Li Mu only led several entourages, and these entourages were always in charge of military orders.
Even though Zhao Jiagui was the king's Changsun, his entourage kept him outside the door without Li Mu's permission.
Yu Zhu was still a little angry about this.
On the contrary, Zhao Jia nodded slightly when he saw this and secretly praised Li Mu for his good governance of the army.
"The last general Li Mu has met Mr. Jia."
After seeing Zhao Jia, Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Zhao Jia also stepped forward.
"I heard that the general was guarding the frontier for several years and ensuring that the people of Zhao were unhindered. A certain person thanked the general for the people of Zhao!"
Zhao Jia came here with the intention of making friends, so he naturally would not rely on his identity and act arrogantly.
After seeing Li Mu, he hurriedly replied with a very sincere tone and his actions.
Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.
If it were before, Li Mu was the general stationed in the northern border and was in charge of the military and political power in the northern part of Zhao State, he would be the unyielding local emperor.
At that time, even though Li Mu had a bad reputation, many people came to make friends deliberately.
But now, Li Mu has been dismissed from office and transferred to Beijing, and may be blamed by King Zhao.
The so-called tree falls and money scatters.
In addition, Li Mu has indeed had a bad reputation over the years, so many people have begun to deliberately distance themselves from him.
However, he did not expect that the eldest grandson of Wang Zhao Jia not only came to visit him in person, but also had such thoughtful etiquette.
In the past, Li Mu might not have cared about Zhao Jia's friendship.
But now that he has obviously lost his power and the other party is still coming to make friends with him so sincerely, Li Mu needs to consider it.
"Please come in, please."
Thinking about this in his heart, Li Mu did not show it, and welcomed Zhao Jia and Yu Zhu to the main hall of the inn.
"I have something to talk to General Li. Yu Zhu, put the wine and food down, and stay outside."
Yu Zhu nodded, placed the food and drinks very obediently, then stood at the door, and brought the door with tactfully.
Seeing this, Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, but the doubt in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The two of them sat down and greeted each other for a while.
Li Mu suddenly said, "Young Master Jia knows that Li Mu has been removed from his official position by the king this time, and is he guilty?"
Li Mu couldn't understand the purpose of Zhao Jia's trip, so he deliberately spoke out to test it.
Zhao Jia smiled slightly and said, "Is this matter related to my visit to the general?"
Faced with Li Mu's temptation, Zhao Jia's answer was very straightforward.
I came to visit you not because you were in a high position and had great power, nor would I look down on you just because you are down and out of here.
I want to visit you because I think you are worth visiting.
That's all.
Li Mu stroked his beard and stared at Zhao Jia, saying, "Now it is a state banquet, and there are countless high-ranking officials and nobles in Handan City."
"People say that I, Li Mu, are timid and afraid of war, which is a shame for the people of Zhao."
"The young master did not visit others, but came to see me, Li Mu, but why?"
Li Mu is not just a martial artist.
Otherwise, he would not be invincible.
Until this time, he still couldn't see Zhao Jia clearly, so he continued to test.
He stationed at the border for several years, killing cattle and rewarding his soldiers all day long, and secting soldiers to practice riding and shooting, but he never dared to fight with the Huns.
Every time the Huns attacked, after the beacon tower issued an alarm, Li Mu would gather his troops, cattle and sheep, and supplies to hide in the camp.
Not only that.
If someone dares to go out to hunt and kill the Huns, they will be punished by Li Mu, and in serious cases, they will even be dealt with by military law.
It was precisely for this that Li Mu had a reputation of being timid and timid.
King Zhao blamed Li Mu several times, but he still did his own way, so he was removed from military power and transferred back to the court.
Li Mu wanted to know what was worthy of Zhao Jia's attention when he ended up like this.
Zhao Jia filled the wine lorry, then slowly put down the wine pot, and said with a tight grace: "Jia has no other intentions when she comes here, just because she admires the general."
Li Mu was stunned at first, and then mocked himself: "Such a person with a bad reputation is not worthy of admiration for Mr. Jia."
Zhao Jia stood up and said seriously: "I wonder if the general, how much money and grain have been consumed in the treasury since he was stationed in the northern border for several years?"
Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "The northern border trades with foreign countries, and can freely control the money and grain of nearby cities, and the border troops cultivate fields and grazing, so they can be fully self-sufficient."
"In recent years, the national treasury money and food have not been consumed."
Speaking of this, Li Mu looked a little proud.
