Meng Ao did not tell lies. He indeed had no regrets. As a Qi man, after coming to Qin, he gradually found a strategy that suited him and proved his strength in long-term foreign wars.
Many people don’t know that an important reason why Meng Ao left Qi in the first place was that he and the soldiers of Qi were defeated by Lian Po of Zhao. This is why he fought so hard every time he faced Lian Po.
.
He has a filial son. Although his son is not very outstanding, and his performance in recent years is not as good as his father, he is just like the man next door, Lao Wang, who is very good as a deputy general. Wang Hao was once regarded as a deputy general by Wu Anjun, and
Meng Wu is also valued by Wang Jian now. Every time Wang Jian goes on an expedition, he always takes Meng Wu as his deputy general, and Wang Jian is probably going to succeed him, so Meng Ao is very relieved.
Although my son has not grown up to what I thought, he is still very good.
And he also has two lovely grandsons. The eldest grandson, Mengtian, is very tough. He hangs out with the younger son of Wu Chengjun's family all day long, and is caught by Han Fei several times. However, Meng Ao is not angry. Qi Ren's chivalrous spirit is engraved in his heart.
A child who is not naughty at heart will definitely have no future. The second grandson, Meng Yi, is too young, but he likes his eldest father the most. As long as Meng Ao comes home, Meng Yi will definitely pester his eldest father.
, refused to leave.
Meng Ao lived a very happy life, very contented, and had no regrets. At the last moment of his life, he was smiling and teasing his grandson. There was no fear of death on his face. He was not afraid, he
The lives of these children will continue to exist.
Meng Ao left anyway, very calmly, leaving Meng Wu holding him and crying. The children didn't know what happened, but when they saw their father being so rude, they also cried loudly in fear.
Meng Ao's death still caused quite a stir in the world. After Bai Qi's death, Meng Ao took over his position and became a new nightmare for the Six Nations. Meng Ao would not kill people like Bai Qi.
It's just that he captured cities like a tireless siege machine. After he came to Qin, Meng Ao probably captured at least more than a hundred cities for Qin and added four counties to Qin.
King Qin was in a very bad mood. Even though Meng Ao was not his supporter, he was still sad.
He ordered the old general to be buried lavishly and gave his family many rewards. Lu Buwei was naturally even more sad, not only because Qin lost a famous general, but also because he lost another supporter. When Zhao Kuo got
When he learned about this incident, he personally came to mourn for Meng Ao. He had known General Meng Ao for a long time, and the relationship between the two parties was still very harmonious.
Meng Ao was a humble man and visited Zhao Kuo several times to ask him about the war.
Zhao Kuo did not dare to say that he was giving advice, he could only say that he was communicating with him and summarizing his own combat experience.
The old era is passing away, not only the Six Kingdoms, but also the Qin Kingdom.
.......
After King Zhao learned about Meng Ao's death, he seemed very happy. He immediately held a banquet to reward his ministers. In these years of war, Zhao State only gained some benefits from Yan State and Wei State, and
When facing the Qin State, the Zhao State did not have the power to fight back, and the strength gap between the two sides was gradually widening. The purpose of King Zhao's banquet was not just to reward the ministers, but also to have a deeper idea.
The ministers need to find a way for him.
Zhao Yan, who has been on the throne for five years, has changed a lot compared to when he first ascended the throne. Judging from the past five years, Zhao Wangyan has done a pretty good job, and he forced Lian to leave.
Quite, he made a fatal mistake, but in other aspects, he was still very good. He reused Li Mu and fully supported Li Mu. No one could slander Li Mu in front of him. In just five years, Li Mu served Zhao
The country trained 150,000 elite soldiers.
These soldiers were personally trained by Li Mu. They came out of the fortress and were brave. Li Mu believed that even if these soldiers encountered the Qin people, they would be able to fight successfully.
Li Mu's military training made Zhao become stronger again in terms of military force, and it became a powerful country second only to Qin. The pressure on Yan and Wei was even greater. Unfortunately, it is not enough to have soldiers, there must be
Sufficient food. The food problem is the biggest problem that troubles Zhao State. The food produced by Zhao State was still sufficient. During the Battle of Changping, the domestic cultivated land was abandoned for more than three years, and Zhao State's many years of accumulation were used up.
Since then, the State of Zhao has been in a dilemma. The national treasury has never been replenished, the wars have never stopped every year, and the national strength has never been able to recover. That war destroyed all the savings of the State of Zhao.
Wang Yan had great ambitions. He thought carefully that if Zhao State was to be truly strong, it would still need continuous annexations, and such annexations would require Qin State not to interfere.
The ministers were sitting next to King Zhao. They did not object much to the banquet held by King Zhao. King Zhao is still good today. He can be fair in rewards and punishments. He will not forget to reward the soldiers who went to war, and he will also severely punish some corrupt officials.
Guo Kaidu, a villain who violated the law, did not dare to do evil at will because of King Zhao's change and restrained himself. Although King Zhao had previously insisted on letting a prostitute become his queen, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers, this was not the case.
It's past.
King Zhao smiled and held the wine cup, and said seriously: "I have something to tell you."
The ministers raised their heads and looked at him seriously. King Zhao then said: "I read through the "Ma Fu Shu" to find the principles that can make the country stronger. I found that Qin's military merit system is the most encouraging
The method of farming... I want to establish a title system for farming in Zhao State, and give titles to farmers in the country. Those who can grow more food can improve their titles. In addition, various kinds of titles will be held in the country.
In Dabi, those who are excellent are rewarded, and those who are not excellent are punished..."
King Zhao just made the beginning and then said: "The food in Zhao State is not very sufficient. I hope that you can come up with better suggestions."
"Today, sitting here, we are not monarchs and ministers, we are all friends. No matter what suggestions you make, I will not be angry! You can express your true thoughts."
The ministers thought for a moment, and then one minister stood up, looked at King Zhao, and said seriously: "The royal family, the land occupied by the nobles and princes in the country is too much, and many people have become their farm laborers.
From what they farm, they can only get some subsistence food, and they are not willing to work as hard as farming for themselves. Including you, the Lord, you also have a lot of farmland under your name... I think these farm laborers must be released.
Let them all have their own land."
"It is stipulated that these royal offices are not allowed to own too much farmland, and they are not allowed to force people to become their farmhands..."
The minister spoke loudly. King Zhao frowned and hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, you are right, just do what you said!"
"Come here, I'll give you a hundred gold! I'll give you ten sheep!"
"I hope you can speak freely, and I will not blame you!" King Zhao rewarded the ministers just now, and then he continued. When the ministers saw this scene, they all stood up and talked about their thoughts.
...
At the same time, on the school field outside the city, the general was riding a horse and was galloping. As the horse was galloping, the general drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow suddenly penetrated the wooden target in the distance, almost
Shot through the soldier behind him. The soldier was startled, and the general reprimanded loudly: "Don't stand there!!" The soldier ran away quickly. The general tried several more times, and his archery skills were accurate and powerful.
powerful.
When he got off the horse panting, the young master Jia was already standing aside, looking at him with stars in his eyes.
"Wu'an Jun...don't you say that you are injured and that you are not good at shooting?" Young Master Jia asked. Qi Jie looked at the young Young Master and said, "I am indeed injured...so I only
Able to shoot thirty steps..." Gongzijia grinned and asked, "Can I try?"
Li Mu stared at the young master in front of him, shook his head, and said solemnly: "You shouldn't be here. You are still young. If something happens, I have no way to tell you..."
Gongzijia shook his head and said seriously: "You are wrong. My father asked me to read "Ma Fu Shu". I saw in the book that officials who want to manage cultivated land must know how the people on the cultivated land are doing.
In life, a general who wants to command an army must know the situation of the soldiers. I will govern the entire Zhao State in the future, and I want to know all the conditions of the Zhao State. I went to cultivate the land, and the people were suffering. Every year
You need to keep practicing..."
"Several soldiers fell hungry yesterday. I have to tell my father that under such training, the common people who come must be fed..."
After hearing Ma Fujun's letter, Li Mu became a little unnatural, and his face became more and more ugly. Ever since he learned that Ma Fujun sent troops to South Korea to kill Lian Po, Li Mu became a little silent. His confidants could feel it the most.
With this change in Li Mu, the general seemed to be in a trance. It was even the first time they saw him drunk... Li Mu felt a lot depressed, but what he did on weekdays did not change.
Li Mu was deeply admired by everyone in Zhao State, maybe because of his bravery, or maybe because of his care for the soldiers and the people. Li Mu was a different kind of general. He was not a pure general. He would often help those who were helpless.
He would use his rewards to help the people in various places. Even when encountering a locust plague, Li Mu led his soldiers and held torches high to start a war against the locusts.
He worked day and night and killed many locusts. When the soldiers were frightened by the mystery of the locusts, Li Mu said: If the gods are to blame, let me bear the responsibility alone. This is my order.
Li Mu was an upright man. Over the years, he punished many bad guys, including Guo Kai's cronies and retainers. Guo Kai personally begged for mercy, but Li Mu was not allowed to compromise. Li Mu went directly to King Zhao and reported these things, which made Guo Kai
Kai Kai was disgraced, and King Zhao blamed Guo Kai for this. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Guo Kai and took back some of the rewards given to Guo Kai. This made Li Mu successfully become Guo Kai's enemy and the guardian of the people.
There was lingering pain in Li Mu's eyes, and the melancholy God of War made him look more and more like the person he was before.
The generals in Zhao respected him for this reason. Sima Shang no longer quarreled with him and was willing to serve as Li Mu's deputy general. Pang Gong regarded him as the future of Zhao and told him all his knowledge.
All the books in his collection were given to him. Even Gongzi Jia admired the general very much. Li Mu sat down and asked Gongzi Qian to sit aside. He said seriously: "You are right."
“If you don’t know the sufferings of the people, how can you help them escape from their suffering?”
"You have to keep your thoughts like this...and don't change them, okay?"
Gongzijia nodded and said: "I know! My eldest father once said that as long as the State of Zhao becomes stronger and the people become rich, Lord Ma Fu will be able to come back. I must make the State of Zhao strong and prosperous so that the people will not be hungry."
Die, don't freeze to death, so that all the talented people in the world can come to me!" He smiled, but did not notice that the expression of Li Mu beside him became more and more lonely. Li Mu sighed and said: "Yes,
That’s good.”
.....
Guo Kai sat on his knees on the ground, his head lowered, and blue veins popped out on his forehead.
King Zhao's queen was sitting in front of him. The queen looked a little frivolous and wore heavy makeup. She didn't look like a queen. Even Zhao Ji had more temperament than her. And she herself was not that stunning, just a little bit...
It just looks good... She was looking at her hands, and looked at Guo Kai below with some disdain, and said with a smile: "You come to me, what can you do?"
"I have never interfered in government affairs. Now that your Majesty doesn't love you, it's because of your own fault. Now that you come to me, what can I do?"
Guo Kai raised his head, looked at the woman in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't forget, when the Lord wanted you to be his queen, Li Mu was the one who was the most opposed to it, and I not only introduced you to the Lord,
I even brought you to the palace myself, how could you forget your original kindness?"
The queen chuckled softly, covered her mouth, blinked her eyes, and said, "Didn't I return all the kindnesses I received to you? Didn't you say you were very happy then?"
"Although Li Mu was opposed to me at the beginning, now I have firmly secured my position as queen. Your Majesty loves him so much. I am going to offend him for you? I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate."
Guo Kai stood up with a sneer and said, "Okay, you are right."
"Now Gongzi Jia is very close to Li Mu, and Li Mu also regards him as the future king. You are still young... If one day Gongzi Jia ascends the throne, I wonder if you can still be so comfortable...
When Li Mu submits a memorial to execute your son and depose you... you will come and beg me." Guo Kai smiled grimly, then turned to leave. The queen thought for a moment, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly stood up and said
: "Please don't be angry, I didn't say I wouldn't help you."
