Guo Kai's straight to the point surprised everyone.
Especially Jing Ke's expression changed subconsciously.
He is young and has a relatively small city, so he is not yet able to behave comfortably with these treacherous ministers.
However, he was just a retainer in Guo Kai's eyes, and he had no suspicion. Le Cheng even laughed and said, "Jing Ke's knight is unaware of something. Li Mu appears to be loyal to protect the country, but in fact he has unpredictable ideas. The king has seen through his true face.
That’s why I was ordered to secretly remove him!”
As he spoke, he pulled Jing Ke outside and whispered in a low voice.
"Is this happening?"
Three people become a tiger, and spreading rumors can happen as soon as their lips touch each other.
Jing Ke suppressed the anger in his heart and could only cooperate with him, and finally stood outside the hall as a guard. Ge Nie also walked out, confronting each other from a distance.
Facing Guo Kai's cold, smiling gaze, Gu Cheng sat down leisurely and picked up the bamboo slip again. "Doctor, do you know what I am looking at now?"
Guo Kai raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Gu Chengdao said, "This book is called "Duan Long Wu Ling Chapter", and the author is a master who calls himself Qing Shizi."
Guo Kai showed a hint of contempt: "The words of the family cannot be trusted!"
"It's not trustworthy, but this book is about King Zhao Wuling, the only king I admire in your country!"
Gu Cheng spoke sincerely, King of Wuling Zhao Yong, who may not be a very famous monarch in later generations, actually has the achievements of a destined protagonist.
As soon as he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, the five kingdoms of Wei, Chu, Qin, Yan, and Qi used the name of the funeral to send elite soldiers to take advantage of the young king to plot against Zhao. King Wu Ling was unhurried and used both soft and hard tactics.
, cleverly making use of the situation of various countries to defuse the power of the five-nation coalition, no less than Zhang Yi.
After withdrawing from the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, he deeply felt that the Zhao State was not strong enough, so he went to Hu alone and spent two years observing the Hu people's conduct and military discipline. After returning to Handan, he began to implement an initiative that changed the entire world, Hufu riding and shooting!
Gu Cheng clapped his hands, and Kong Sang took out two silk paintings, which were in sharp contrast.
"A hundred years ago, the Zhao people's clothing had long sleeves, long waists, fat collars, long robes, and long coats, which were extremely inconvenient for horseback riding and archery. King Wu Ling ordered the entire army to wear Hu clothes, and changed the long-sleeved robes into short sleeves, short coats, and leather ropes around the waist.
, put on long boots and dress up."
Speaking of this, Gu Cheng smiled and said, "The way to change the past is to rebel against others. There was a lot of opposition to this at that time, right?"
Guo Kai nodded without knowing why.
Gu Cheng added, "Another far-reaching reform of King Wuling was to abandon chariot warfare and replace it with cavalry. Among the countries in the Central Plains, it was Zhao who was the first to build a powerful cavalry. Within a few years, Zhongshan was destroyed internally and Zhongshan was destroyed externally.
If we ignore Hu land, its power can compete with our great Qin."
Guo Kai blinked, Le Cheng and Jing Ke sat down, equally confused.
Until Gu Cheng's next sentence came out: "If the doctor orders someone to propose to King Zhao to restore Zhao's chariots, how will Li Mu react?"
"No way!"
Guo Kai suddenly stood up.
"What a joke! Is that what you want when Qin destroyed Zhao without any effort?"
Lecheng also said angrily.
It was Hu Fu's cavalry and shooting that made the originally weak Zhao State rank among the seven kingdoms in the world. No matter how traitorous they were, they would not allow such a thing to happen!
Others were also stunned when they heard this, and they all felt that no one, no matter how stupid, would agree to such a move that blatantly turns back the clock on history.
In fact, throughout history, there are quite a few extremely stupid things like this. Even during the reign of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, there was still talk of restoring Zhou rites, but that was more than two thousand years ago...
"Don't panic!"
Gu Cheng pressed his hand down, "It's just a memorial, it doesn't mean success."
Guo Kai didn't understand. "If it's not successful, why should we get such a reputation?"
Gu Chengdao "In order to make the army, led by Li Mu, unanimously oppose it!"
Guo Kai looked deep in thought, and Le Cheng's eyes also rolled, "Is this so?"
The drunkard's intention was not to drink. He was obviously a treacherous person who deceived the country, but in fact it was to arouse King Zhao's fear of Li Mu.
Once Li Mu strongly opposed it, they deliberately added fuel to the flames and made Zhao Jun unanimously comply.
At that time, the wise king will know that this proposal is too ridiculous, and the generals will behead the traitors directly if they oppose normalcy; while the fatuous king will be afraid. When will Li Mu's prestige in the army be no less than that of the past?
?
"Having said that, the king will not do anything to Li Mu because of this matter..."
Guo Kai thought for a while and shook his head.
He knew King Zhao very well.
King Zhao was greedy for pleasure, selfish, and could not tolerate the slightest disobedience from others, so he could not listen to good advice. However, he could still distinguish right from wrong in his heart, and he was not mediocre to the point of completely confusing black and white.
"So this is just the first step."
Gu Chengdao: "Right now, you can persuade King Zhao to welcome Lian Po back."
Guo Kai didn't understand: "What does this mean? The king dislikes Lian Po the most!"
The enemy of King Zhao was none other than Lian Po.
He was an emperor and a minister. When he first ascended the throne, in order to control power as quickly as possible, he deprived Lian Po of his military power, which caused dissatisfaction among his senior ministers and internal turmoil. He was ridiculed as a faint king by the outside world.
The more this happened, the more stubborn King Zhao became and refused to admit his mistakes. It was not until Zhao was defeated repeatedly in battles and was under pressure that he sent an envoy to Wei to invite Lian Po back.
Lian Po returned to Zhao in anger. In fact, he was still worried about his homeland and hoped to return to Zhao to serve, so he deliberately showed off his skills in front of the envoys, eating rice and ten pounds of meat, and then put on his armor and mounted his horse to show that his sword was still young.
There is a poem by Xin Qiji: Who can ask, Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? This is where the allusion comes from.
Unexpectedly, the Zhao envoy was bribed by Guo Kai, and when he reported back, he said: Although General Lian is old and good at food, he sat with his ministers, and in a short time, he had lost all his power.
What does this mean? It means that Lian Po can still eat well, but he pooped three times after sitting for a while.
In fact, if you analyze it carefully, you will know that it is a slanderous statement that avoids the truth and replaces the truth with inconsistency. However, King Zhao pushed the situation and said that Lian Po was old and could no longer be used. Everyone was happy. Guo Kai's ability to figure out what his superiors wanted was evident.
Now Guo Kai is admonishing Lian Po to come back and be traitorous at one time and loyal at another time. What will happen?
Gu Cheng asked again, "Do you think Li Mu will agree to King Zhao recalling Lian Po at this time?"
Guo Kai did not belittle his opponent, "Li Mu was respected by Lian Po in the past, so he has achieved this achievement, so he will naturally agree."
"Wrong! Li Mu doesn't know how!"
Gu Cheng shook his head, "Because Lord Xinling is dead."
Guo Kai was startled, "That's right, the King of Wei can't even tolerate Lord Xinling. After Lian Po defected to the Wei State, he was always under suspicion and could not get military power at all. If the King allowed Lian Po to return to the country at this moment, the King of Wei would become suspicious and even be in pain."
Killer."
"Wonderful! There are some things that the king can do but the ministers cannot!"
Le Cheng also showed excitement on his face, "Once Li Mu proposed not to allow Lian Po to return to the country, the king would not think that he was doing it to protect Lian Po. He must have felt that Li Mu wanted to control the military power. He said so. With the previous suspicions, Li Mu
Die!"
"Young Master is unparalleled in resourcefulness and is indeed the best strategy!"
Guo Kai couldn't wait to get up and saluted, "Thank you very much!"
Watching Guo Kaile leave happily, Duan Murong said with an ugly face, "Sir, even if it is an enemy country, I can't bear to let these two traitors harm General Li Mu..."
"Don't worry, Li Mu defeated the Xiongnu. He deserves our respect. A hero of hundreds of battles, let alone die at the hands of villains!"
Thinking about Li Mu's tragic end in history, Gu Cheng also felt it was a pity and smiled and said, "Guo Kailecheng made a mistake."
Yan Lingji, who had been silent all this time, blinked, "What's the mistake?"
"They underestimated Li Mu."
The four famous generals of the Warring States Period each have their own styles.
Bai Qi is ruthless and treacherous, Lian Po is steady and deep, Li Mu is unpredictable and unpredictable, and Wang Jian knows how to advance and retreat best.
In terms of insidiousness and viciousness, Li Mu is indeed not as good as Guo Kaile Cheng, a slanderous official, but now he is not outside, and there is no powerful foreign enemy to suppress the Qin Dynasty. Guo Kaile Cheng thinks that he can easily overthrow Li Mu with one or two conspiracies. It is really a small thing.
He looked down upon this unpredictable and famous general.
Therefore, the top strategy will become a bottom strategy when encountering Li Mu.
Kong Sang understood, "Once Guo Kailecheng fails to defeat Li Mu, the old resentment caused by Lian Po's replacement will also erupt. This will be the time when the civil and military forces of Zhao will be in conflict, and the country's national power will be greatly damaged!"
Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Invite Gan Luo to come and ask him to go to the palace ten days later with a banner to complete the mission of alliance between Qin and Zhao to defeat the State of Yan."
Duan Murong asked, "Master, won't you go to the palace?"
Gu Cheng once again picked up the short story of King Zhao Wuling and said leisurely, "When I enter the palace, I will not salute King Zhao, but King Zhao will kneel at his feet, and the whole country will surrender together!"
