Chapter 786 The Kingdom of Zhao is about to perish
It only took Sima Shang a few dozen breaths to read the eloquent letter of hundreds of words.
In the letter, Li Mu did not mention anything else, neither his life nor death, nor the future of Zhao.
He has already determined these things in his mind, so there is no need to say more.
He just advised Sima Shang that if he wanted to, he could join Gu Xun's army. If not, he could do it according to his own ideas and there was no need to force him.
Only at the end, Si Limu left the word "take care", and the strokes... were unusually deep.
Looking at these words, Sima Shang vaguely felt that he once again heard the kind and kind voice of the nearly seventy-year-old general, as well as the old and strong figure, who was still tough. He felt his eyes were hot, suppressing his grief.
I can’t help myself again.
But this time, he did not shed any more tears. He closed his eyes slightly, calmed down and said to Gu Xun:
"Mr. Mongolia expressed his love, and... the general warned me that Sima Shang shouldn't be ignorant of the praise, but I really don't want to get involved in the disputes in the Central Plains anymore. Please forgive me, sir."
"General Sima misunderstood." Hearing the reason for Sima Shang's refusal, Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't want you to intervene in the Qin army."
Gu Xun immediately told Sima Shang briefly about the war in Baiyue, and reiterated the conditions he had promised to Li Mu before.
After Sima Shang heard this, his brows slowly relaxed, obviously he was moved.
He has been obsessed with fighting against the wolves all his life, but the wolves were hit hard by a wave last time and couldn't recover for more than ten or twenty years. They can't lead troops into the grassland, right?
Besides, the three counties in the north now belong to the Qin State, so it is not his turn to make the decision.
But it would be too early for him to just live an ordinary life.
In this case, attacking Baiyue is a good choice, especially if it involves using Baiyue people to fight Baiyue people, and does not involve the Central Plains at all.
As for whether the various conditions promised by Gu Xun can be fulfilled... Sima Shang still has no doubts.
Firstly, there was Li Mu’s handwriting, and secondly, he himself didn’t feel the need to go out of his way to deceive himself with Gu Xun’s strength.
"Capture Baiyue... Sima Shang is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses in this matter." After thinking about it for a while, Sima Shang returned with a bow.
"Okay!" Gu Xun raised his hand and said with a smile, "With the help of the general, the Baiyue strategy will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Without further delay, I will arrange for Liusha's manpower to take General Sima to the Minyue Kingdom."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xun told another piece of news that made Sima Shang extremely happy, "Oh, by the way, General Li Mu's grandson, Major General Li Zuoche, also went to the Minyue Kingdom. General Sima can also replace General Li when the time comes.
, teach him."
"That kid from Zuo Che also went to Baiyue?" Sima Shang said in surprise and joy, "Is anyone else okay?"
"No." Gu Xun shook his head, "Before General Li Mu's accident, he entrusted the Major General to me and asked him to join the quicksand."
"I asked him to go to Baiyue. After all, he is the God of War, so he should devote himself to the army."
A happy smile appeared on Sima Shang's face, and he couldn't help but murmured, "Great, great, the general still has descendants..."
Since Zhao Wangqian took action against Li Mu, the Li family living in the capital of Handan would not be spared. Even if Sima Shang rebelled as soon as he knew about this, and attacked Handan, it would be too late to save them.
The only thing he could hope for was that Li Zuoche, who was following Li Mu, could escape. After all, that kid was always smart and was extremely wary of King Zhao.
However, before he could arrange manpower to search for Li Zuoche, who was said to be missing, he received the news that Zhao Cong reported to King Zhao that Li Zuoche had also been executed.
Now it seems that Zhao Cong may have taken the credit. After all, it is impossible for Li Zuoche to jump out and say that he is not dead. It is better to just follow Zhao Cong's decision.
Knowing that Li Mu had not cut off his bloodline, Sima Shang couldn't help but feel much more energetic, sweeping away the previous decadence and decline.
Seeing this, Gu Xun also smiled with satisfaction.
He deliberately brought Li Zuoche into his group, firstly because he valued his ability in the future, and secondly because he expected this guy to motivate Sima Shang.
Looking at it now, the effect is indeed outstanding.
After that, the two of them dispersed, Gu Xun returned to the Qin army's location, and Sima Shang went south to Baiyue, so I won't give a detailed list.
………………
When the Qin army was plundering the land of Zhao State, the country of Yan, a northern country adjacent to Zhao State, was also unstable domestically.
The State of Zhao is now in danger, and its destruction can only happen in a matter of seconds. Once the State of Zhao is destroyed, Qin and Yan will officially join forces.
Among the four kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, and Wei, even with the brains of King Yan Wangxi, he could tell that Qin's next step would definitely be to attack Wei, the only remaining state among the three Jins.
This is good news, because it means that he, the King of Yan, can still lie down and pretend to be dead for two years.
This is also bad news. If Wei is also destroyed, Yan will probably be next.
After all, among the remaining three kingdoms, Yan will be the best.
Yan Wangxi was also feeling anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything.
Zhao, who beats Yan every day like a grandson, is about to be destroyed by Qin, so what can he do?
Asking Chu for help?
There is a state of Qi in the middle, so we can't expect the state of Chu to be willing to deliberately attack Qin for the sake of Yan to attract firepower.
Ask Qi for help?
Haha, let’s find out about the initiator of the Five Kingdoms’ Conquest of Qi.
Or try to join forces with Wei now, or even try to combine the efforts of the two countries to save Zhao, and then form a Three Kingdoms Alliance?
It’s a good choice.
It's a pity that King Yan didn't dare to do so.
Although he was already worried about the future of his country's destruction, he still did not dare to take the initiative to become an enemy of Qin.
The fear in his heart was greater than his worries.
Otherwise, it would be a waste. At this time, I still think that I can survive every day, but I don’t dare to give it a try.
I can only say that I deserve it.
However, King Yan wanted to pretend to be an ostrich and wait for death, but Yan Dan was not willing to just wait and become the crown prince of the country.
But as the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix.
Yan Wangxi only knew how to pretend to be dead and have fun, and Yan Dan didn't think of any good ideas.
Assassination of Qin King Ying Zheng.
This is the solution Yan Dan finally came up with.
In fact, it’s not like he didn’t know that this method was purely a trick of Feng He’s. The soldiers were making dangerous moves, and one wrong step would lead to catastrophe, but there was no way.
With Qin’s current efficiency, how far away is the disaster of destroying the family and destroying the country?
Two years? Three years? Or four or five years?
What's the use?
Even if he kills his biological father now and ascends to the throne, how much can he change in three to five years?
With the power of Yan State, it cannot resist Qin State no matter what.
Only Mr. Assassin!
The Qin State has not yet established a crown prince, many of its princes are still young, and there is not even a queen. Once Ying Zheng dies, the situation in the country will be unstable.
The most important thing is that at this time, there is no absolute powerful official in the Qin court like Lu Buwei, the former Marquis of Wenxin, who can overpower hundreds of officials.
The sudden change of power between the old and new kings will inevitably cause many ministers to fight endlessly, setting off an internal dispute within the Qin State.
The old Chu forces, the Legalist forces, the military aristocrats, the Ying clan... there are so many factions, it would be strange not to fight them.
