King Zhao was tired of cursing, so he sat directly on top of you, staring coldly at the ministers kneeling below, very annoyed, thinking that they simply did more than fail.
In just a few days, not only did the 200,000 troops fail to retake even a single city, but they also lost troops. Now, the Qin army used a strategy to wipe out 100,000 troops, conquered Pingyang, and let the Qin army advance to the southeast of Handan. Threatening the safety of Handan.
This is simply a thorn in the throat. This Qin army must be eradicated as soon as possible. They pose the greatest threat.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhao's anger gradually dissipated. He knew how he was scolding this group of people. They still looked like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water. Just a bunch of trash.
It is still useless to the current situation. The most urgent task now is to find a general who can take charge of the situation and turn the tide to lead the army to regain the lost ground and annihilate the Qin army in the southeast.
"Okay, you all stand up, the most important thing now is to think of a way, how to annihilate the enemy and regain the lost ground?
Which of you is willing to recommend yourself? "
King Zhao replied calmly, and asked the ministers below.
The ministers looked left and right, looked at each other, didn't speak, and didn't dare to get up. They knew that with their two brushes, they would lead troops to the expedition, and the target was still the most powerful state of Qin. , They responded silently.
Don't dare to speak.
"Okay, okay! Usually, everyone speaks nicely, doing their best for the country, and being loyal to the king. Is this how you do your best for the country and be loyal to the widow?
To call you trash is to overestimate you? snort! "
When King Zhao saw their appearance, he remembered that they were all clamoring to be loyal to the country, but now it seems that they are all fake. This made him even angrier.
"My lord, I have something to report."
At this moment, an old general spoke up.
"explain!"
King Zhao replied fiercely, apparently no longer had any hope for them.
"The final general is incompetent and unable to share the worries of the king, but the final general recommends one person. Once this person goes out, he will surely win a complete victory and wipe out the enemy."
The veteran straightened his back and said loudly to King Zhao.
His words were powerful and full of confidence.
Obviously, he has great confidence in the person he recommended, and believes that as long as he gets out, he can turn the situation around.
"Oh? Who are you talking about?"
King Zhao was very interested in his firm tone, so he couldn't help asking.
"He is Li Mu and General Li who are currently stationed in the frontiers of our country to guard against foreigners such as the Huns. General Li, Wang Jian, Lian Po, Bai Qi and others were known as the four famous generals at that time.
As long as the king reuses him, the final general believes that General Li will live up to the trust of the king, and he will definitely be able to annihilate the invading enemy army. "
As soon as the old general said the words, everyone talked a lot, and then he remembered that Zhao Guo still had such a veteran on the battlefield who was good at fighting.
"Yes, we still have General Li, he is very powerful."
"In recent years, our country has been declining day by day, but it can still stand firm and not be invaded by foreigners, thanks to General Li."
"That's right."
Listening to what they said, King Zhao felt that since Li Mu could be recognized by the ministers, he must be a formidable person.
So he immediately issued an edict: Only the Qin army took the opportunity to attack our country of Zhao, but the country of Zhao lost its soldiers and generals.
Today, after being recommended by the ministers of the court, Li Mu was recalled, led 100,000 troops, and wiped out the Qin army.
After receiving this edict, you must immediately lead your troops to Handan to meet the king.
When the rest of the ministers saw the order issued by King Zhao, they were overjoyed: "Your Majesty is wise!"
After Zhao Wang issued the edict, he drove back to the harem directly.
Li Mu, Li Mu (229 BC), surnamed Ying, Li family, named Mu, Borenren (now Longyao, Xingtai), a military strategist in the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period, together with Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Lian Po, were called "Four Great Names of the Warring States Period" Will".
? In the period of King Wuling of Zhao in 309 BC, the State of Zhao ordered the middle school to "ride and shoot in Hu clothes", carried out a series of reforms, and gradually strengthened its military power.
However, during the periods of King Huiwen and King Xiaocheng, the military forces of the various tribes of the Huns gradually became stronger and continued to harass the northern border of Zhao State. The King of Zhao sent Li Mu to lead the troops to be responsible for guarding the northern border.
Li Mu has been stationed in the northern border areas of Dai County and Yanmen County (northwest of today's Dai County, Shanxi) all year round to defend against the Huns.
He according to the actual situationHe took effective measures to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, effectively guarded against the invasion of the Huns, and won the love of the soldiers.
His measures are: first of all, appoint people he thinks capable as officials, and at the same time control the collected goods and taxes in his own garrison office as the daily expenses of the soldiers.
Second, a few cows are slaughtered every day to reward soldiers and give preferential treatment to soldiers.
Third, intensify the practice of horseback riding and archery, pay attention to the alarm system, and increase the number of reconnaissance personnel.
In terms of military affairs, strict laws and regulations: "The Xiongnu ¡õ invaded by robbers, rushed into security, and those who dared to capture captives were beheaded" (Historical Records Li Mu Biography). Therefore, every time the Xiongnu invaded, the strict alarm system exerted its power, and the soldiers quickly retreated to the camp and stood firm, not daring to go out without authorization.
Even though the Xiongnu had nothing to gain from plundering, Zhao's army preserved its strength. Over the years, there was not much loss in personnel and materials, which laid a material foundation for future counterattacks.
Later, after Zhao Wang first demoted and then invited, he returned to the border again, trained soldiers day and night, and always took measures to avoid and not fight against the Xiongnu.
Continuously develop its own military strength. Finally the time came, and the border guards were rewarded and not used every day. Therefore, they all asked to fight the Xiongnu to the death.
Li Mu saw the right moment and prepared 1,300 selected military vehicles and 13,000 selected war horses. 50,000 warriors and 100,000 outstanding shooters who won a hundred gold rewards were all organized and trained.
And indulge the livestock, let the people graze all over the mountains and fields.
Seeing this scene, the Huns first sent a small force to invade.
After the battle, Li Mu pretended to be defeated and left thousands of people to the Xiongnu.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yu led a large army to invade the land of Zhao, while Li Mu dispatched a surprise army, outflanking the Xiongnu army by surprise, annihilating more than 100,000 Hun cavalry in one fell swoop.
Then he took advantage of the victory to destroy the ragged eaves, break the Donghu, and descend the Linhu, Shanyu fled far away.
After more than ten years, the north of Zhao State was stable, and the Xiongnu did not dare to approach the border towns of Zhao State. Therefore, Li Mu became the most important general of Zhao State after Lian Po and Zhao She.
Because Li Mu ensured the security of Zhao State's border, so that Zhao State's monarchs and ministers could deal with the annexation war of Qiang Qin without any worries. Collaboration support is included.
Therefore, it can be said that Li Mu has extraordinary prestige in Zhao State, and is loved by Zhao State's soldiers.
Especially now that the generals of Zhao State have passed away one after another, Zhao State¡¯s military strength and national strength are not as good as before, and the remaining famous generals are Li Mu.
That's why the ministers elected him as the coach against Qin, not because they didn't want to replace others, but because no one could take on this important task.
After all, Li Mu is upright and rigorous in his dealings. Whether it is running the army or doing politics, they are meticulous and rigorous.
Treat the soldiers and the people kindly.
Because of this, Li Mu must have offended many ministers of the DPRK and China, who did not care about the lives of the people below, so they often clashed with him.
Later, Li Mu was sent to the border again by the previous king of Zhao, and everyone gradually forgot about him.
Coupled with Li Mu's principles of using troops, it is easy for King Zhao to be suspicious and disgusted.
That's why he was transferred to the border to guard.
If he had the ability, he would definitely not be recommended by many people. It was really a critical moment, and with no one available, they, the princes and nobles, had no choice but to ask King Zhao to use Li Mu again. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
