Chapter 231 The art of combining verticality, Li Mu's pride.
"Four percent?"
After murmuring something, King Zhao's eyes flickered, and he had thousands of thoughts in his mind. To be fair, the figure of 40% was not low.
After all, they were facing the most powerful country in the world, the powerful warriors of the Qin Dynasty who were as powerful as tigers. They were not easy to deal with.
King Zhao knew very well that only Li Mu dared to say this. Looking at the six countries of Shandong, no one dared to say that stepping on Da Qin would achieve a great cause, and he was 40% sure.
It's just that King Zhao knew the consequences of failure. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If he stepped on the Qin State and ascended the throne, once he failed, he would surely suffer a crazy backlash from the Qin State's monarchs and ministers.
He wants to win, but is afraid of failure.
After all, the price of failure was a bit high, which made King Zhao extremely entangled. The Zhao Kingdom had been inherited for many years, and he did not want to be an unworthy descendant, let alone a king who would subjugate his country.
Therefore, at this moment, King Zhao was at war with heaven and man. He wanted to achieve different feats and become the king of the world, but he was a little uneasy.
So, for a while, King Zhao had many thoughts in his mind, but he still had no conclusion.
After all, he grew up in the hands of a woman in the palace, and lacked a trace of determination. He was not as decisive as King Zhao Wuling, who had been in the military for many years.
…
In the hall, the charcoal fire was burning at its peak. Li Mu drank all the rice wine in the wine cup, and then filled it up for himself and King Zhao one by one.
Then he glanced at King Zhao whose expression was constantly changing, stood up, filled some charcoal into the copper brazier, and then sat down calmly.
He did not force King Zhao!
He knew in his heart how difficult this choice was. According to his strategy, it would be equivalent to fighting for the whole country, and it would be equivalent to gambling with the national destiny of Zhao.
Although the current King of Zhao is not bad, after all, he is not a peerless hero like Duke Xiao of Qin or King Wuling of Zhao, and he does not have the courage to gamble with a country.
But Li Mu knew that if King Zhao's will was not firm enough, no matter how brave he was, it would be in vain. After all, war was often a continuation of politics.
This decision was not easy to make, but winter had not passed yet, so he had plenty of time to wait.
After a while, about half an hour later, the look in King Zhao's eyes became more determined, and he nodded directly towards Li Mu.
"Everything is done by General Lao. I personally sit in the rear and raise food and grass for the general..."
Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly stood up, bowed deeply towards King Zhao, and said: "I will never give up even if I die——!"
"But this matter requires the assistance of other countries, otherwise our army cannot concentrate on fighting against the Qin army..."
After laughing loudly, King Zhao nodded: "General, don't worry, this time Gu Rangguo Xianggao will personally go to the other countries to envoy the rest of the countries, using the art of cooperation to contain the attention of the Qin kings and ministers..."
Li Mu bowed again: "Your Majesty's words are very kind!"
…
The kings and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom made plans and went about their own affairs, and Li Mu also immediately moved into the Zhao army shogunate.
However, at this time, the Qin army was still full of factions, and the monarch and his ministers were not united. Even Ying Gao sent a letter to Xianyang, which showed a strong tendency to defeat the superior.
The only good thing is that this letter comes from Tie Ying and is written in Tie Ying's name. Otherwise, if the news gets out, the relationship between Ying Gao and Heng Qian will not be able to change.
It will even arouse the fear of the generals in the army!
Originally, Ying Gao had a special status in the army, which made the generals in the army fearful. Once the following things happened that overcame his superiors, it would cause resistance from the generals in the army.
After all, no one wants to have a disobedient person who can instead file a complaint with the people on the Ying Zheng desk.
Now in the name of Tie Ying, although everyone knows that this is basically Ying Gao's order, at least they can get along with each other.
…
Ying Gao, who was heartlessly barbecuing in Xishan, completely abandoned his secular affairs. He knew in his heart that he had done what he could do, and the rest could only depend on the luck of the Great Qin Rui Shi.
No matter what era you are in, luck is always a part of strength.
"Sir, winter is about to pass, and there is still no news from the court. Do we still have hope in this war?" Meng Liao felt a little disappointed after taking a bite of barbecue.
As a result, the crispy and delicious mutton skewers have no taste and taste like chewing gum in your mouth.
At this time, the old Qin people, under the subtle influence of the twenty-level military merit and title system, were often more warlike than any other era.
Even the Tang Dynasty, which had some Hu people, was far inferior. The Qin Dynasty was warlike from top to bottom. They knew that war would make them nobles.
This is their only way to change their destiny!
During the Warring States Period, China experienced great changes that had not been seen in thousands of years.
Some people are born into the family of world ministers. Some people are honored as sons and grandsons. This is a good era, following the footsteps of the Qin Dynasty, six kings have come to an end, and the world is one.
With a thousand-year bloodline, he is no match for military merit and nobility, and the nobles and nobles of the world are all trampled under the feet of Qin officials.
Therefore, everyone from top to bottom of Qin wanted to fight.
Not to mention a young man like Meng Liao who comes from a military family. He is not a fool. You can tell from the actions of General Hengqian.
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Now the general is my immediate superior. The Qin army is very strict, but you know better that military law is even stricter."
After eating the mutton skewers in one bite, Ying Gao looked deeply and said: "My master has already violated the military rules by sending a letter to the court. Even if I am the master of Da Qin, I can't get rid of him."
"This is also the reason why I sent the message in the name of Tie Ying. Until there is no clear order from my father, you can train the army with peace of mind."
"In the Warring States Period, it is only a matter of time before our country Qin unifies the six kingdoms. If so, how can war be avoided..."
"As long as you have the skills, you will inevitably have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, so you must practice your skills hard at this time. Only with enough skills can you be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister..."
Having said this, Ying Gao took a deep look at Wang Hu and Meng Liao, and said word by word: "Even though I am the Young Master of the Great Qin Dynasty and have achieved some achievements, I still can't push a mediocre person up."
"..."
Some things don't need to be said so explicitly, but both Wang Hu and Meng Liao are too young. Because of their youth, their hot hearts are boiling with passion.
Wang Hu is a little better, he has already been on the battlefield, and he has a title, and the credit for conquering Xinzheng this time has not yet been counted.
And Meng Liao was born in the Meng family. Now the Meng family is dominated by Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and there is no need for him to make contributions. At this moment, he is still a white man.
Naturally, I am quite excited.
At this moment, after hearing Ying Gao's explanation, the two of them bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng: "I understand that I will train my army diligently when I return this time."
"When the opportunity comes, I will have a sharp sword in your hands..."
