When Zhao Kuo and Li Mu arrived in front of Leyi's courtyard, a driver was driving. After learning the identities and intentions of Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, he seemed very respectful and not as arrogant as Tian Dan's retainers.
He led the two of them into Le Yi's courtyard. As soon as he walked in, Zhao Kuo was a little surprised. In the courtyard, there were many grass targets with arrows stuck on them. What kind of courtyard was this?
This is clearly a military school ground.
When Li Mu arrived, he was very excited. Le Yi almost represented the highest achievement of a general in an era. In Zhao State, no one disrespected him, especially as a Zhao native, his status was much higher than Tian Dan.
Times, Li Mu talked about the rumors about Le Yi like a die-hard fan who was about to meet his idol. However, Zhao Kuo was much calmer. In his eyes, maybe Le Yi's status in history is not as good as that of the person next to him.
What about young people?
"I have been here several times and wanted to meet General Le Yi, but... every time I came here, I was very scared and did not dare to go in."
However, when Li Mu really saw Le Yi, his heart sank. Zhao Kuo seemed to hear some broken sound. Le Yi was indeed a famous general with great power, but the problem was that he became famous decades ago.
At this moment, he was really too old. He was lying on the bed with his head tilted. All his teeth were gone, and there was not much hair left. His whole body exuded an unpleasant smell, which was that of decay.
the taste of.
Le Yi is old.
Lin Xiangru was only in his fifties now, and Le Yi was a generation older than him. He was lying on the bed blankly at the moment, his eyes were cloudy. When he saw the two people coming, he looked a little happy, and he shouted: "Zhao
Luxury? Are you and Qi Jie coming to see me?" As he spoke, his saliva started to flow down. He did not wipe it away. Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo had already guessed that this might be the case.
.
People in this era did not live long. Lin Xiangru was not very old in future generations, but he was already in his twilight years and his life was precarious. What about Le Yi, who was older than him? The driver on the side explained: "Please don't blame me.
, the general has been paralyzed on the bed for a long time. He spends a lot of time confused and little time awake, and he can't recognize anyone... He may have mistaken you for Mr. Ma Fu."
He stepped forward and wiped the saliva from Le Yi's mouth, and then he begged with a cry mixed with his voice: "General, Ma Fujun and Qi Jie have passed away for a long time. This is Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo, and this is Li Mu. They both
They are well-known young people from Zhao State, and they are here to pay homage to you."
Le Yi asked in a daze: "Are they dead?"
"Yes, they have passed away."
"Who died?"
"The Lord of Horses and the Robbery of Horses."
"Yes... they are dead." Le Yi nodded blankly.
With Le Yi's appearance, let alone going to war, it was very difficult for him to live a normal life. Zhao Kuo could feel the pain of King Zhao. There was such a famous general, but he couldn't use it. Zhao Kuo sat down slowly
In front of Le Yi, Li Mu sat next to him. Zhao Kuo then said: "General Le Yi, I am the son of Lord Ma Fu. My name is Zhao Kuo. I am here to see you this time."
"Zhao Kuo...Zhao Kuo..." Le Yi repeated it many times, as if he just remembered his name, but then asked him: "Zhao...what?"
"Zhao Kuo."
"Zhao Kuo!" Le Yi said his name accurately. Suddenly, he was very happy and smiled hard. He remembered Zhao Kuo's name, and then he asked uneasily: "What's the reason for you?"
Come to me?" He looked startled and asked hurriedly: "Something happened to Zhao Guo again??"
Li Mu looked at Zhao Kuo, who suddenly laughed and said: "Please don't worry, nothing happened to Zhao Guo, everything is fine. I just came to see you because I heard about your heroic achievements.
"
"Okay...Okay, no one has come to see me for many years. They have all forgotten about me."
"No one will forget you, not just now, but also in the future. There will be many outstanding people who will compare themselves to you and regard this as the greatest honor. I feel that even thousands of years later
, some people will also remember that there was once a brave general named Le Yi, and future generations will talk about your deeds and be proud of you." Zhao Kuo said seriously, not at all like a consolation.
"You lied to me."
"You are a general who can see everything. Who can deceive you? What I tell is the truth."
"Zhao Kuo... you are a very good person, but don't associate with someone like Qi Jie. He only talks about the art of war. He doesn't understand war." Le Yi said and glared.
Li Mu glanced at him and continued: "The benefits of getting along with such a person are outweighed by the disadvantages."
Li Mu was a little confused. He hurriedly explained: "General Le Yi, I am Li Mu, not a robber."
"Think about those days..." Le Yi's eyes lit up, "That villain Zi Zhi launched a rebellion and attacked the king. However, Qi State did not help us put down the rebels, but took the opportunity to launch an attack and captured
I took the capital, killed the king, and wanted to destroy the state of Yan. Fortunately, the king and I defeated the Qi people. How could we not avenge such a great hatred? I led the people, defeated all the troops of the Qi state, and captured the Qi state.
The capital of the country was destroyed by Qi..."
"If it hadn't been for... King Yan who wanted to kill me, I would have occupied the land of Qi for Yan long ago. With the fertility of Qi and the bravery of Yan, I would have merged with the three Jins! How could the Qin people be so arrogant?
", he suddenly looked at Li Mu and cursed: "This is all your fault!"
My father wasn't even born at that time! Li Mu looked at Le Yi with some grievance, "General, I am Li Mu, not a robber."
Le Yi ignored him and told a lot of anecdotes, most of which were about the wars he had experienced in the past. Zhao Kuo did not feel a trace of impatience. On the contrary, he liked the stories Le Yi told.
A long time ago, he collapsed on the bed due to illness. All his friends have left, so no one comes to see him again. Such a confused old man comes to see him even if he doesn't get much benefit from seeing him.
what to do?
Le Yi had never said so many words, nor had he been so happy. He was always smiling and said: "Qi State, it was originally a country of overlords, but now it still retains the foundation of the overlords, and the land is vast.
With a large population and a weak country fighting against a powerful country, we cannot attack it alone. If we must attack it, we must unite Zhao, Chu and Wei to attack it."
"General Le Yi, you are right."
"Alas..." Le Yi suddenly sighed and said with some sadness: "What I said is not right. The most difficult person in the world is probably the general. If you lose, you can't save your life. If you win, you can't.
If you can't save your own life, no matter which country you are in, you can't tolerate an invincible general. Zhao Kuo, you must not win too many battles, otherwise the king will kill you."
The face of the driver on the side changed greatly, but Zhao Kuo was thoughtful. Le Yi had made great contributions to the Yan State, so he was expelled. Tian Dan had also made great contributions to the Qi State, so he was also expelled.
And Bai Qi... Zhao Kuo thought about the feasibility of the matter, then stood up, bowed to Le Yi and said, "Thank you for your teaching, general. I understand."
Le Yi smiled and nodded.
Zhao Kuo stepped forward, wiped the saliva from Le Yi's mouth, and said, "General, I won't disturb your rest. I will visit you often in the future."
"Okay, okay..." Le Yi was very happy. After the driver sent Zhao Kuo and the others out, Le Yi happily said to the driver: "Zhao Kuo and Qi Jie are coming to visit me. They said
, they still want to visit me."
"Yes, General, that's what they said."
Le Yi was lying on the hospital bed, seeming to be thinking about when they would come again. He smiled and muttered something to himself. The driver wiped his tears and asked, "Then we still have to go out for a walk today?"
