Li Mu did not stay at Lin Xiangru's house for too long. After he knew the reason why Lin Xiangru asked him to come, he hurriedly left Handan. After sending Li Mu away, the old retainer came to Lin Xiangru. He was still a little helpless.
Understanding, he asked: "Li Mu is an official in such a far away place, why did you call him over for such a trivial matter?"
"I do this for two reasons."
"Please tell me."
Lin Xiangru coughed for another moment and then said slowly: "No matter what Zhao Kuo's talents are, it can be seen from his words to Xu Li and his disciples that he is a true gentleman. This is the most important thing."
Yes, after we die, Li Mu will definitely serve as the general of Zhao State, but he is humble on the outside and arrogant on the inside, upright and unwilling to bend. With his temperament, if there is no one to speak for him around the Lord, he will definitely suffer.
To the persecution of villains.”
"The reason why I called him here from such a far away place is because I want him to make friends with Zhao Kuo. I don't see Zhao Kuo's talent, but he has good moral character and a prominent family background. He cannot succeed Lian Po, but he can succeed me.
In the past, there were me and Lian Po, and in the future there will be Zhao Kuo and Li Mu. The generals will be harmonious, so I have no worries." Lin Xiangru said with a smile. After hearing Lin Xiangru's words, the old retainer woke up, nodded, and asked again.
road:
"But what if Li Mu went to have a dispute with Zhao Kuo?"
"If this is the case, it proves that Zhao Kuo is not a gentleman, nor is he the prime minister I expected." Lin Xiangru said, shaking his head.
"I understand, what about the second reason?"
"Nothing else, I just miss him so I want to see him one last time." Lin Xiangru said with a smile. When the old retainer heard this, he couldn't laugh, and his face became more and more sad.
...
In Mafu Township, Zhao Kuo rejected several hunting invitations. Even Ying Yiren invited him, hoping to go hunting together, but Zhao Kuo did not go. Since coming to this era, he has seen many misfortunes
The Zhao people, and the only hope of these Zhao people is themselves, which always makes Zhao Kuo feel heavy. He has no feelings for the Zhao country, but for the Zhao people, he has a kind of self-blame and a kind of self-blame.
ashamed.
Even if he couldn't defeat Bai Qi for Zhao State, he shouldn't go hunting for fun at this time. That's what Zhao Kuo thought. In these days, he took his retainers and was busy around Ma Fu Township to help here.
People were harvesting corn. Corn was considered the most mainstream food in Zhao State, and the planting area was huge. Zhao Kuo went to the fields in person and harvested corn for two days, but fell ill for another three days. He was really not the material for farming.
Although he did not perform well, his actions still moved many Mafu villagers. Even the diners became serious. Fortunately, a group of rangers were gathered to help everywhere. The officials were shocked. They
I tried my best to get these rebellious rangers to engage in farming, but fortunately, I just used Zhao Kuo's banner to mobilize hundreds of rangers to help with farming. This is really unbelievable.
When Li Mu arrived at Mafu Township, what he saw was this scene. Many rangers were helping the old man carry bamboo baskets and strode on the road. Even the official responsible for monitoring the gate of the township.
, they were all helping the villagers at the moment. Li Mu had never seen such a scene before, so he grabbed the village official. The village official was upright. After being stopped by Li Mu, he was not angry and put the bamboo basket he was carrying.
On the side.
"May I ask what your orders are?"
"I am Li Mu from Boren, and I am here to meet Ma Fuzi. I would like to ask you, why are the knights and officials here doing farm work?"
The prison guard Zhao Qusheng raised his head and said with dignity: "Now that all the young and strong people of Zhao State have gone to the battlefield, only the old and weak are left to farm. At this time, we are here to help with the farming. Isn't this something strange? Like A noble person like Ma Fuzi can personally go to the farmland to help collect corn. I am just a humble official with no reputation. Isn't it natural for me to do this?"
Li Mu was startled, and bowed to him, and then respectfully made way for him. When the prison gate passed, Li Mu entered the village. At first, there was still some hostility in his heart, but now it was mostly dissipated. , No matter how you say it, this Zhao Kuo is a gentleman and a person you can make friends with. Li Mu thought to himself and inquired all the way before arriving at Zhao Kuo's house.
Li Mu knocked on the door, and a rough and burly man came out. The man looked at Li Mu in front of him, then bowed and asked, "What are your orders?"
Li Mu was not rude. He said, "Li Mu, a native of Bairen, wants to see Ma Fuzi." Standing in front of Li Mu was Di. Di had already guessed that he was here to see Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo also He would not refuse guests who came to see him. Di did not close the door. It was very rude to leave the guest outside and close the door. He asked Li Mu to wait for a while and then went to report to Zhao Kuo.
"There is a guest from Bairen who wants to see you." Di said carelessly.
Bayern??I’m from Dortmund!!
Zhao Kuo, who was interrupted from reading, complained in his heart, then stood up, put the books aside, and went out to greet him. As soon as he saw this young man, Zhao Kuo felt that he was unusual. This was not because Zhao Kuo was a The appearance is controlled, but there is a kind of temperament in this young man. He is holding a horse and standing there upright. The whole person is like an unsheathed sword. The heroic spirit of a young man is probably like this.
"Li Mu pays homage to Ma Fuzi." The young man leaned over and saluted.
Zhao Kuo fell into a sluggish state. Who? Li Mu?! Zhao Kuo didn’t know much about the history of the Warring States Period. Most of his knowledge was from movies, TV dramas and Chinese textbooks, but he knew Li Mu. Yes, this is also a famous general of Zhao State, but is he already that old now? Are he and Bai Qi still from the same era?
Zhao Kuo looked in a daze, but fortunately he came to his senses and looked at Li Mu with very hot eyes. Li Mu, a historical celebrity. Li Mu couldn't wait for Zhao Kuo's return gift, and was about to say goodbye and leave angrily when he saw Zhao Kuo. Kuo reached out his hand enthusiastically and held his hand tightly. "I heard that there is a talented person in Zhao Guo Bairen. His military talent is enough to succeed General Lian Po. I haven't had time to visit you. You actually I just came here, it’s my fault.”
Facing the extremely enthusiastic Zhao Kuo, Li Mu was immediately stunned. Before he could reply, he was pulled into the room by Zhao Kuo. The two sat down. The diners were very surprised. They had never heard of anything. His name was Li Mu, but since Zhao Kuo respected this Li Mu so much, it seemed that he was not a mediocre person. Li Mu sat down, and Zhao Kuo sat in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes.
His eyes were full of little stars, just like a fan looking at his idol. Zhao Kuo was of course extremely happy. After knowing that the person in front of him was called Li Mu, he seemed to see hope. He was just an ordinary person, no matter what
In my previous life or now, I have never commanded a single person, let alone a national army. However, the young man in front of me is different. He is a truly famous general in history.
Although this famous general is still very young and probably has little fighting experience, he should be several times stronger than himself... right?
"I heard that the Zhao people are willing to use Ma Fuzi as their general to take over the position of General Lian Po. What do you think?" Li Mu suddenly asked.
Zhao Kuo also calmed down and said seriously: "This is the Qin people's strategy. I am not as good as General Lian Po, let alone take his place."
Li Mu was a little surprised, nodded, and asked: "With the current war situation, how do you think Zhao Kingdom should win?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head, "I don't know, I want to know what you think?"
Li Mu said proudly: "The Qin people came from afar, with many chariots and few cavalry. If it were me, I would definitely separate multiple groups of cavalry and continuously attack Qin's grain roads. The Qin people gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Shangdang.
If we can reduce their food transportation, or simply cut off their food routes, the Qin people will destroy themselves without attacking."
Sure enough, he was indeed a famous general. Zhao Kuo's eyes became brighter.
After Li Mu finished speaking, he asked proudly: "This is my strategy, what about yours?"
"I don't have my own strategy. I agree with your strategy. Do you have any other ideas?"
"Of course there is. If I were to be a general, the Qin people would definitely look down on me because of my age. I would show weakness to the enemy and prepare a lot of food and baggage. After the Qin people launched an attack, I would pretend to retreat and throw out all the supplies.
Baggage, when the Qin people look down on me and start to loot the baggage and take it lightly, I will launch an attack..." Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhao Kuo felt something was wrong. If the other general was Bai Qi, like this
Will Bai Qi's actions lead to being surrounded and annihilated by Bai Qi's counterattack?
Li Mu asked again: "This is my plan. Do you have any other plans?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "I don't have any strategy myself, but I think your strategy is a bit dangerous. If the other party deliberately sends people to rob the baggage and secretly ambush the good soldiers, wouldn't you just fall into a trap?"
