In 250 BC, King Ying Zhu of Qin died three days after he ascended the throne, and Zichu became the king of Qin.

In addition, there were no major conflicts between countries.

However, for Zhao State, I don’t know whether this year is joy or sorrow.

This year, Zhao State besieged the capital of Yan State, forcing the King of Yan to ced nearly a hundred miles of five cities, and hundreds of thousands of Yan people were incorporated into Zhao State's household registration.

The war dividends obtained by Zhao State made the whole country extremely excited.

Not only that.

Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao, returned from his mission to Chu State, and actually brought the great joy of marrying the eldest princess of Chu State.

Zhao, Chu was an ally.

However, Zhao State, which had suffered a great defeat in Changping, was far inferior to Chu State, and such alliances may not be so close.

Otherwise, when Yan State attacked Zhao State, Chu State would not sit idly by.

However, the people of Zhao did not expect that when Prince Jia went to Chu, he actually took over the most beloved daughter of the King of Chu.

It can be expected that as long as Zhao Jia marrys the eldest princess of Chu, Mi Fu, the alliance between the two countries will become extremely reliable without direct disputes of interest.

With the powerful ally of Chu, Zhao would have some confidence even if he faced Qin again.

There is no doubt that King Zhao praised Zhao Jia very much for this matter, and was not stingy. He asked someone to go to Zhao State with a large number of betrothal gifts, and married the eldest princess of Chu State Mi Fu to Zhao State with the most solemn etiquette.

Gongzi Jia once again became the focus of the entire Zhao State.

All of the above are happy events.

Unfortunately, in addition to these happy events, Zhao State also encountered troubles.

Last year, Li Mu was stationed in the northern border and adopted a passive defense to avoid the sharp edge of the troops invading the Huns, which caused complaints from the civil and military officials in the court, and the impeachment of Li Mu was endless.

Even King Zhao himself repeatedly blamed Li Mu and ordered him to send troops to resist the Huns.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu did his own thing and ignored King Zhao's orders at all, which made the court more and more impeachment of Li Mu.

In desperation, King Zhao had to recall Li Mu, remove the other party from military power, and send good generals to garrison in the northern border.

The State of Zhao had just defeated Yan State, and Lian Po was still besieging Yan Capital, so the Huns took the opportunity to go south and plunder everywhere.

The newly replaced Northern Frontier defender quickly recalled the 50,000 elite troops recruited by Li Mu, changing Li Mu's past passive defense strategy and taking the initiative to fight the invading Huns.

Given the soldiers of Zhao's good at fighting, if both sides really fight, even if most of the Huns were cavalry, the Zhao army might not be defeated.

Unfortunately, the Hun cavalry came and went freely, and did not confront the soldiers of Zhao State at all, but instead harassed and looted everywhere.

The garrisons in the northern border mobilized all the defenders, spent a lot of money and food, and chased the Huns everywhere.

Just a year has passed, and most of the money and food that Li Mu has saved over the years has been consumed by the Northern Xinjiang guards.

Not only that.

Because the Hun cavalry came and went freely, when the Zhao State defenders were scattered and pursued, they often encountered a small group of fleeing Hun cavalry suddenly returned, and then suddenly killed several people and then quickly left.

Even though the Zhao army suffered few casualties every time, after a year of tug-of-war, the Zhao soldiers also suffered thousands of casualties.

In just one year, such huge casualties occurred, even far more than the casualties of the Zhao army in Li Mu's guarding the northern border for several years.

Until this time, the Northern Frontier defenders who were exhausted but unable to obtain military achievements finally remembered Li Mu, who was once ridiculed by him and others.

Although Li Mu was timid and afraid of war, at least he made the Northern Xinjiang defenders live a good life, and there were no casualties for many years.

The most important thing is that during Li Mu's stay in northern Xinjiang, due to the timely defense and evacuation, the people were depressed, but they were able to hide in Wubao in time, and their lives and property did not suffer much loss.

Unfortunately, the newly-funded garrison of the Northern Frontier only wanted to take the initiative to attack and kill the Huns, and did not pay much attention to the lives and property safety of the people.

This also led to the fact that within a year, the Huns plundered a large amount of property and population while they were plundering south.

The defending generals were guarding against the disadvantages of the Huns, which led to complaints from the people and even refused to continue paying taxes to the border defense forces.

The people remembered Li Mu's goodness and even jointly requested King Zhao to re-activate Li Mu.

The so-called people's hearts cannot be violated.

At this time, both the soldiers and the people in the northern border were extremely dissatisfied with the newly appointed guard general. Under pressure, King Zhao had to summon Li Mu again.

Zhao King Palace.

"Master, I have been to come to see General Li several times, but General Li always claims to be sick and stay away from him."

The eunuch lowered his head, his voice a little frightened.

"Bang!"

King Zhao was angry when he heard this, so he picked up the bamboo slips on the table and smashed them hard towards the ground.

"Li Mu is too much."

"I sincerely invite him to work in the northern border many times, but I don't even want to see him in person. It's simply outrageous!"

King Zhao's chest was fluctuating violently, and he was obviously full of anger.

"Great greetings to the prince's father!"

At this moment, Zhao Jia walked in and looked at the angry King Zhao and bowed quietly.

After seeing Zhao Jia, King Zhao's face relaxed a little.

He waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, and then said: "Jia'er, in the past year, the Xiongnu in the northern border have successively attacked the border, and the defenders have fought repeatedly, but have failed again and again."

"Now the military and civilians in the northern border are full of grievances, and I hope that I can re-activate Li Mu."

"It's a pity that Li Mu is too disrespectful to me. I have repeatedly sent people to invite me kindly, but the other party has been ill and never seen me."

"You said, what should I do?"

Looking at the aggravated King Zhao, Zhao Jia was not confused by the other party.

Zhao Jia knew that King Zhao deliberately acted like this in order to trick him.

Because Zhao Jia and Li Mu have a close relationship, almost everyone knows about this matter. King Zhao deliberately did this and wanted Zhao Jia to invite Li Mu out of the mountain himself.

It was because Zhao Jia saw through this that he remained silent.

King Zhao pretended to be furious and walked around the hall, but after a long time, Zhao Jia didn't volunteer and immediately couldn't pretend.

He came to Zhao Jia and said in a deep voice: "Jia'er, I heard that you have a good relationship with Li Mu. Can you tell me if Li Mu is really in good health?"

Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, "Father Wang, General Li is not in good health, he is just a heart disease."

"If the heart disease is not cured, why should we lead the army!"

King Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "But because I took away his official position and seized his military power?"

Zhao Jia shook his head.

King Zhao frowned and asked again: "But because of the battle of Dai County, I remembered all the credits on Le Cheng and did not reward Li Mu?"

Zhao Jia still shook his head.

"What's the problem?"

Zhao Jia raised his head and said softly: "In the court, almost everyone complained about General Li Mu, believing that he was greedy for life and fear of death, and fear of war."

"At that time, the prince's father had to summon General Li Mu to return to Handan because of the continuous impeachment of civil and military officials in the court."

"If General Li Mu still acted according to what he had done in the future and the civil and military officials in the court were impeached again, what would the prince's father do?"
