Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized it.
It is normal for Ying Zheng to ask about Li Mu's situation. Qin and Zhao are currently at war. As the king of Qin, he knows that the enemy country has such a powerful weapon, so it is impossible not to pay attention to it.
Speaking of which, Li Mu's reputation over the years can be said to be well-known in the Seven Kingdoms, but it is mainly because the other party has been fighting against the wolves in the North all year round.
But outside the Northland, Li Mu did not lead many battles. Last time, he was temporarily transferred to deal with Yan's invasion.
Needless to say, the result is that beating Yan Guo is not like beating a son, there is no pressure!
This kind of war is not enough to show Li Mu's strength.
Therefore, the main opinions of various countries towards Li Mu are that he is particularly powerful at fighting wolves.
As for the civil war in the Central Plains, it’s hard to say.
After all, the fighting methods of the wolf clan are very different from those of the Central Plains army, and they cannot be generalized.
No matter what era, there are civil war phantoms and foreign war phantoms. Without an actual fight, who knows what will happen.
Gu Xun figured out the reason for Ying Zheng's question and did not rush to answer. Instead, he confirmed:
"Your Majesty would like to ask about Li Mu's situation?"
"In all aspects." Ying Zheng gave an answer that asked for everything without hesitation.
"Uh... Well, I haven't gotten to know him well enough yet." Gu Xun couldn't help but reply.
"..." Ying Zheng didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Seeing this, Gu Xunyi shrugged and stopped talking nonsense:
"From my perspective, the most important thing I think about Li Mu is that he is very strong!"
"Exceptionally strong!"
Li Mu is the eternal phantom god. He is strong at all times, whether fighting alien races or civil war in the Central Plains.
"Oh!" Ying Zheng snorted softly, without any hint of emotion or anger, "The Imperial Preceptor thinks that Wang Jian is not his opponent?"
"This..." Gu Xun muttered, "There's no way to compare."
"I don't think General Wang Jian is worse than him, but I don't think General Wang Jian is better than him either."
Gu Xun knew a lot about Wang Jian, the most legendary general in the late Warring States period, but they were all based on historical facts before time travel.
In this world, the only time the other party gave him actual knowledge was when Lao Ai rebelled and mobilized county soldiers to counterattack Xianyang.
At that time, the rebel army was defeated by the Xianyang garrison. He thought it was the army commanded by Lord Changping, who was the general in theory, but in fact it was commanded by Wang Jian.
It’s no wonder that Lao Ai’s rebels were beaten to such a level of virtue...
It is naturally difficult to distinguish between these two famous generals, but Gu Xun has historical facts to rely on.
So...
"But in a head-on battle, on Zhao's territory, I don't think General Wang Jian can defeat Li Mu."
"Unless Your Majesty is willing to mobilize an army of 300,000 troops to General Wang Jian, and let him crush it directly with hard power."
"In this way, Li Mu is indeed a trouble." Ying Zheng did not question Gu Xun's statement.
Since he chose to ask Gu Xun for his opinion, he would not question whether Li Mu was so powerful...War is never something to be careless about.
So now we have to find a way to target Li Mu.
Anyway, it is impossible for Ying Zheng to gather 300,000 troops for Wang Jian in a short period of time. Even if he can gather them, they will not be used to attack Zhao at once.
Even if you can, it's not worth it.
"In this case, does the Imperial Master think there is anything we can do with Zhao Qian?" Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then looked up at Gu Xun again and asked.
Ying Zheng has always hated Zhao Guo, and he has never hidden this disgust. Everyone knows it, and it is natural to call Zhao Wangqian as disdainful as possible.
"Of course." Gu Xun answered in the affirmative without thinking, and whipped Luo Wang's corpse. "Didn't Luo Wang try it before, and almost succeeded?"
Zhao Gao:......
Don’t you know why the snare only almost succeeded?
And you also completely eliminated the possibility of the net to frame Li Mu!
Although the boss was not happy, he was called out by Gu Xun again, so Zhao Gao had no choice but to stand up and speak again:
"It's a crime to use the net to do bad things. Your Majesty, please give the net another chance."
Ying Zheng still waved his hand calmly, not caring about the so-called mistake in the trap.
Li Mu was not the main target of the Qin State before, and Luo Wang's previous actions were just a casual move. Success or failure is not a reason for punishment.
Of course, if he clearly asked Luo Wang to do his best to get rid of Li Mu, but still failed like this time, then he would not be able to get rid of him with just one sentence.
"Guo Kai is dead, how else can the Imperial Master think of using Zhao Qian to deal with Li Mu?"
"The main reason for the conflict between the monarch and his ministers has always been between the monarch and his ministers. The other so-called treacherous villains are just adding to the problem."
Gu Xun quickly started talking based on the historical development in his memory.
"The rift between Zhao Wangqian and Li Mu was planted as early as the period of King Zhao Daoxiang. Li Mu had no intention and ability to make up for this rift."
"So... the Imperial Master thinks that the estrangement strategy can be used?" Ying Zheng shook his head, did not comment on Gu Xun's words, and then asked.
"It shouldn't be possible for the time being." Gu Xun shook his head, "I have always been the one who shocked the master with his high achievements, but there is no such thing as the master who is unable to shock."
"Li Mu has been staying in the Northland before, never taking the initiative to get involved in the HD court situation, and trying to avoid being passively involved. He can barely get along with the two generations of Zhao kings, but now, I'm afraid he can no longer stay out of it."
"As a general of the State of Zhao, he will die if he loses, and he will die if he wins. He is already unable to advance or retreat, and he is riding a tiger with difficulty."
"If Your Majesty wants to take advantage of King Zhao's power, you only need to wait for the right time."
When Gu Xun said it at the end, he couldn't help but lamented Li Mu's fate.
Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for rabbits to die and dogs to be cooked, but it is also common for dogs to be killed before the rabbit is dead.
This has to be said about Ying Zheng. Regardless of the others, he is really bold in hiring people. He dared to hand over an army of 600,000 to Wang Jian.
Although he was reluctant to leave Wang Jian before leaving, and the old general had to ask Tian to leave, he was still bold enough.
Under normal circumstances, an army of this size is commanded by the monarch himself. He would not trust anyone to command it, not his own brothers or even his own sons.
After listening to Gu Xun's narration, Ying Zheng still looked indifferent, not happy at all.
"According to the Imperial Preceptor, the role of this war is to add merit to Li Mu?"
"Uh..." Gu Xun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does Your Majesty think it is possible to destroy Zhao in one battle?"
Ying Zheng did not answer, and a slight smile appeared on his solemn face. As a king, his ability to govern the country may not be as good as his ministers, but his vision is not bad.
Of course, destroying Zhao did not happen overnight.
He knew exactly how the discord between Li Mu and King Zhao would develop.
He asked these questions just to hear Gu Xun's views, just to listen.
