After a moment of greetings, Li Mu rode slowly with Lian Pio while telling the latter in detail about the changes that had happened in South Korea in the past two years, especially "Kang", who in his opinion Lian Pio would be more concerned about. "Male Korean Tiger".
After listening to Li Mu describe the current situation of "Kang Gong and Han Hu", Lian Pi grinned and laughed: "Did that old dog finally return to Zhongshan in despair?"
"Exactly!" Li Mu nodded and lowered his voice and said: "Now in Handan, Marquis Shuli is the most powerful... In fact, some traitors in the country may instigate Marquis Li to take the king and replace himself..." At this point, he He glanced at Lian Pi calmly, wanting to see the latter's attitude towards this.
But what made Li Mu a little disappointed was that Lian Bu touched his chin and said casually: "That guy Han Wu... huh, he is indeed more talented than Han Ran, and he is the son of the late king "Jian"... he supports him. Are they still the same people?"
Seeing Lian Pi calling Han Wangran by his first name, Li Mu frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Well, Yan Cree, Jin Bo..." At this point, he seemed to have thought of something, and said to Lian Pi: "Feng Ting I have defected to the Wei State, does General Lian Pi know?"
Lian Pi blinked his eyes when he heard this, of course he knew about it.
In fact, not only did he learn that Feng Ting was appointed Jiuyuan Shou by Wei Gongzi Zhao Run, he even went to Jiuyuan County and drank several jars of Shangdang liquor with Feng Ting in the past two days.
"Hmm... I've heard a little bit about it." Lian Pi said vaguely.
Li Mu didn't pay attention to Lian Pi's ambiguity. Hearing this, he sighed: "In the old days, I was the "ten-man county guard". Feng Tong surrendered to Wei, and Ju Xin was executed by Wei Gongzi Run. There are only eight people left..."
"...Don't count me out."
There was a flash of strange color in Lian Pu's eyes. After all, in order to repay the favor he owed to Wei Gongzi Run, he was now a general of Wei State.
Of course, I dare not mention this to Li Mu, otherwise, God knows whether Li Mu will suddenly change his mood.
According to Lian Pi's understanding of Li Mu, he was extremely loyal to the royal family, almost to the point of foolish loyalty.
So he quietly changed the subject: "Who will replace Feng Ting and Ju Xin?"
Li Mu replied: "The Marquis of Li promoted "Sima Shang" as the acting county guard. Not long ago, this man joined Yuyang to guard Qin Kai and severely damaged Donghu. Then he went to the outside of the pass and killed Donghu and fled thousands of miles north. Duan is a good man. What a hero!"
"Sima Shang..." Lian Pu muttered thoughtfully, without expressing any attitude. After all, when he was still in Korea, Sima Shang could only be regarded as a junior general.
"Where is there another person?" Lian Bu asked.
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Maybe I will choose among "Gong Zhongpeng", "Tian Ling", "Hu Zhe", "Zhao Cong", "Yan Ju", "Qi Jie" and others."
At first Lian Piu heard the names "Gong Zhongpeng" and "Tian Ling", his attitude was quite calm, but when he heard the names of "Hu Zhe", "Zhao Cong", "Yan Ju" and "Qi Jie" Finally, there was some disapproving contempt on his face. The expression seemed to say: What kind of nonsense is this?
It cannot be denied that the last four Korean generals are actually quite famous in South Korea, but it is obvious that Lian Pi doesn't look down on these people at all. He doesn't even look down on Jin Ao, Han Yang and others, so how can he pay attention to them? The four generals are not as good as Jin Pao, Han Yang's general?
With a cold snort, Lian Pi curled his lips and said: "Hitting this person is the same as Le Yi. Sooner or later Le Yi will fall on this person!"
When he said this, his tone was full of resentment. After all, he himself was deceived by his once-valued lieutenant and was replaced by the latter.
Li Mu heard the resentment in Lian's retort, and carefully said the words: "Success, although the two Qijie are quite ambitious, it cannot be denied that these two are indeed unique in commanding troops and horses..."
As he spoke, he saw that Lian Pio's face was still ugly, so he wisely changed the topic: "By the way, where has General Lian Pio settled down in the past two years?"
"Me?" Lian Pi said half-truthfully, "I'm wandering around the world. Whoever is willing to take Lian in, Lian will work for him."
Hearing this, Li Mu lowered his voice and said: "General Lianpu, now is the time for us in Korea to employ people. Li thought that if he knew that General Lianpu was here, the king would definitely use the general again."
"Your Majesty? Is it Marquis Li?" Lian Bu curled his lips, but felt a little emotional in his heart.
If it had been two years earlier, he really wanted to be reinstated. But now, in order to repay the favor of Wei Prince Zhao Run, he has agreed to serve as a general in Wei for two years. How can he live up to the high hopes of Wei Prince Run?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, his face looked a little desolate.
Seeing this, Li Mu had a misunderstanding, so he said with some hesitation: "If General Lian Pi doesn't mind, Li Mu is willing to recommend the general to Handan."
After hearing this, Lian Pi glanced at Li Mu with a frown, a look of perseverance on his face.
His character was like this. He was strong-willed and never willing to owe favors easily - there was no way he could owe favors to Wei Gongzi Run. Firstly, he really had no place to go at that time, and Wei State's Hedong Shou, Lintao Jun Wei Ji followed the orders of Wei Gongzi Run and entertained Lian Pi with good wine and food every day, but he never mentioned that Lian Pi would switch to Wei, so as not to arouse Lian Pi's resentment; secondly, Wei brewed Shangdang liquor is really suitable for Lian Pi's taste.
It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Lian Piu agreed to Wei Gongzi Run's solicitation was largely because he was addicted to Shangdang liquor. He was afraid that if he offended Wei Gongzi Run, he would never be able to drink this kind of liquor again in the future.
But now, Li Mu said that he would give him an honest recommendation - Hey, who do you think you are?!
The two of them are colleagues of each other, and their status in South Korea is about the same. Why should I, Lian Pi, owe you a favor?
Thinking of this, Lian refuted "hum" twice, but Quan Dang didn't hear it and changed the subject and asked: "Why did you personally lead the army this time?"
Seeing Lian Piu change the topic so abruptly, Li Mu knew that his rash words had caused the other party's displeasure.
He has always known that Lian Piu is a fierce general with a strong self-esteem. The saying "it is better to be broken than to be ruined" refers to this type of general.
If Lian Pi knew how to compromise, and he only agreed with Kang Gong and Han Hu's suggestion of "tearing up the agreement and declaring war on Wei", how could he be successfully replaced by the lieutenant and reduced to a white body?
However, Li Mu had no choice. After all, Li Hou Han Wu was now too powerful in Korea. On the other hand, the "royal party" that supported "Han Wangran" only had him, Li Mu, Shanggu Shou Ma She and Bao Yuan. In his opinion, if these people can reuse Lian Pi and draw this powerful general of the world into their own camp, I believe they will be able to greatly increase the momentum of their camp.
Therefore, he cautiously made this suggestion. Unexpectedly, Lian Pi would react like this.
"...It seems that we can only try to figure it out slowly. When the troops are withdrawn, please invite Lian Fu back to Yanmen and think of ways to persuade him in the future."
After making a secret decision in his heart, Li Mu stopped mentioning the matter and followed Lian Pi's words: "Li sent troops today just to expel the aliens in Yanmen West (Dingxiang)..."
"..."
Lian Bu was stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Mu thoughtfully.
He didn't think that Li Mu was just doing nothing to expel those aliens. The latter must have some purpose.
According to Lian Pi's guess, it is very likely that General Li Mu will not be in Yanmen for a period of time, so he will take advantage of it first and clear out the aliens near Yanmen to prevent those aliens from attacking when Yanmen's defenses are empty.
But under the current circumstances, what reason does Li Mu have to lead his army to leave Yanmen?
"...Could it be that we are going to use troops against Wei in advance?"
Frowning secretly, Lian Piu felt that the possibility of this matter was very high.
And immediately, he secretly cursed himself for being nosy: Why do you ask? Now, he guessed that South Korea might use troops against Wei in advance, should he report this matter to that Wei Gongzi Run?
On one side was his mother country, and on the other was his new master who was kind to him. After taking a few breaths, Lian Pi couldn't help but feel extremely torn.
At this moment, a group of Yanmen cavalry came galloping in the distance. The leader came to Li Mu, clasped his fists and said, "General, there is a hill about fifteen miles away. The Wei people are building on the mountain."
Fortress."
"Huh?" Li Mu frowned when he heard this and asked: "Wei people?"
"..."
Lian Pi glanced at the team leader with a playful expression.
I saw the team leader clasping his fists and saying, "It's absolutely true."
Li Mu frowned, and said to Lian Pi: "Although I heard that the Wei people defeated Lin Hu in Hetao earlier, I didn't expect the Wei people to even occupy "Yunzhong". General Lian Pi, how about we go and spy together?"
"
Lian Bu looked at Li Mu with an indescribably weird expression. He dared to conclude that the so-called "Wei fort under construction" detected by these Yanmen cavalry was definitely the outpost under construction by his current "Yunzhong Wei Army"
Chenggang was built by him in order to monitor Dingxiang.
"Well, let's go take a look." Lian Piu could only say vaguely.
As a result, Li Mu led Lian Pi and his party to speed up. After about two or three hours, they arrived at the hill that the sentry leader mentioned and looked up at the building under construction on the distant hill.
fortress.
"The people of Wei built a fort here, but I don't know what they had in mind." Li Mu said with a frown.
After hearing this, Lian Pi scratched his face unnaturally.
It has to be said that the target of the three thousand Yanmen cavalry under Li Mu was quite large. After a while, a Wei army under the banner of "Yunzhong" appeared in the mountains in the distance. There was even a group of soldiers.
Troops of cavalry.
Li Mu knew that his sudden visit had alerted the Wei army stationed here. In order not to cause unnecessary conflicts, he immediately ordered his cavalry to slowly withdraw, letting the Wei army on the opposite side know that they had just arrived accidentally.
here.
When preparing to withdraw his troops, Li Mu invited Lian Pi to accompany him to Yanmen.
However, Lian Piu shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "This time, Lian Piu wanted to see the situation of your "neighbor". Now that we have met halfway and have met each other, why not just stay here?
Let’s say goodbye…”
After that, he clamped his legs under the horse's belly and slowly left Li Mu's army with more than a dozen cavalry followers.
"Neighbor?"
Li Mu didn't react for a while. When he saw Lian Pio leaving, he asked in surprise: "General Lian Pio lives here now? I don't know where he is. How can Li come to visit him in the future?"
Lian Pio, who was slowly moving forward, did not look back. He raised his hand and pointed at the Wei army fort under construction on the mountain ridge.
Li Mu subconsciously raised his head to look. At that moment, a gust of wind came and blew away the flag on the Wei army fortress on the mountain. The words "Wei Yunzhong Shou Lian" were clearly written on the flag.
Immediately, Li Mu's expression changed drastically. He turned to look at Lian Pi, only to see Lian Pi and his entourage heading towards the Wei army in the distance, and after a moment, they merged with the Wei army.
"Is this what he is next to?"
He opened his mouth but was speechless for a long time. Li Mu tightened the reins in his hands, with an uncertain look in his eyes.
