Chapter 265 You were indifferent to me in the past, but tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to reach higher!
One month later.
The convoy of Qin envoys drove out of Handan City.
In the carriage, Yao Jia felt a strong feeling in his chest: "Three years ago, I was held under the arm by the guards and thrown out of Handan City."
"Everything was taken away again. He left only his thin clothes and walked out of the Zhao Kingdom in the wind and snow.”
"But today!"
The cool breeze of late autumn made Yao Jia feel hotter and his face flushed: "I came with power and returned with great honor!"
"Live up to my expectations!" The grace of my king’s trust!”
Ying Zheng gave Yao Jia thirty days.
But it only took Yao Jia twenty-five days to reach an agreement with Zhao.
Qin recognized Zhao's ownership of Luanyang and control of Fukouxing and the lower reaches of the Qingzhang River, and presented Zhao with fifty small wings, ten middle wings, and two large wings.
Zhao recognized Qin’s ownership of the entire territory of Wei, and sent 200,000 shi of grain to Qin within three months, allowing Qin and Yan to start trade through Zhao.
In addition, there are a large number of supplementary agreements on trade, territorial division, and alliances.
The overall agreement basically follows the results of the battles fought by the soldiers of both sides with their fists and swords on the battlefield, which seems to be slightly unfavorable to Da Qin.
But Da Qin’s weakness is too obvious.
The shortage of food and time constraints limited Yao Jia everywhere.
With such a starting hand, being able to compete with Zhao Guo is enough to prove Yao Jia's ability!
Just as Yao Jia was thinking about the future, the sounds of horseshoes rumbling and gold and iron clanking quietly sounded and became more intense.
Yao Jia opened the window and looked behind him, and saw many guards at the top of Handan City.
Not long after, Zhao Wang Yanjing also stood on the city gate tower.
Yao Jia couldn't help but smile: "King Zhao."
"Do you regret it?"
It's useless to regret!
In the past, I begged to continue to be used by you, but you ignored me and even expelled me from the country.
I believe that one day, as the Qin Dynasty becomes more prosperous, I will become someone you cannot reach!
Even if you are King Zhao!
Suddenly, two groups of guards rushed out of the west gate of Handan City, shouting:
"Make way!"
"Clean the street!"
" Back to both sides of the road!”
In Yao Jia's slightly shocked eyes, the Qin envoy's convoy was also driven off the road and had to drive into the mud on both sides.
Half an hour later, the ground shook more and more obviously, and a black line came into everyone's eyes.
“The soldiers are back!”
“My warriors from Zhao have returned in triumph!”
“Go and find your elder brother. Your elder brother has good eyes and must see Let’s see if Aweng is back!”
Seeing Zhao Jun returning from a fierce battle from a distance, the Guizhou leaders who were originally dissatisfied with the closure of the city and street cleaning suddenly burst into cheers.
Zhao Wangyan also showed a smile: "Kai (kǎi)!"
More than ten flat cars drove out of the West City Gate, each carrying several musicians.
For a time, the sound of drums, harps and shengs lingered around the city gate.
Listening to the melodious music, Li Mu was a little confused.
In Li Mu's war career, the Battle of Wu'an was the most difficult battle he fought, and his record was also the battle where he was least successful.
In the past, Li Mu wiped out more than 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers and never received a single Kaile.
In the end, this battle only required killing more than 40,000 Qin troops to enjoy Kaile?
But after a brief period of confusion, Li Mu immediately shouted: "Kai!"
The drummers in the army were completely unprepared like Li Mu, and could only hurriedly board the drum cart, holding a heavy hammer. Smash the war drum.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of peace and prosperity for the country, and the sound of war drums, the sound of war and iron horses, are intertwined into a picture of a powerful country.
Li Mu’s troops also marched a little faster.
Li Mu led the middle and high-ranking generals in the army to take the lead, galloping twenty feet outside Handan City. He dismounted from his horse, threw his hands in his hands, and shouted loudly: "General Li Mu of Zhao, accompanied the general Hu Zou to the expedition, and he won Wang Ling pretended to be the commander and returned today to lead the army. "
"In this battle, we will defend Wu'an and defeat the Qin army three hundred miles to the west. We will seize Qin's Luoyang and kill the enemy forty-six thousand seven hundred. Level 20.”
"I hope the king will be happy!"
As he spoke, Li Mu was still a little uneasy.
Could it be that the king misread the military report, so he welcomed it happily?
Now that I have heard the real battle report, will the king be furious?
But within reason and unexpectedly, Zhao Wangyan laughed heartily: "I am pleased!"
"The general is courageous and the soldiers are brave. They can defend the territory without losing it and capture the Qin territory. I am very happy!"
"Order!"
Zhao Wang Yan said loudly: "General Li Mu once Zhendai, Yan Gate, prepare for the Huns."
"In fourteen years, General Li Mu killed more than 300,000 Hu Qi and opened up thousands of miles, so that Hu Qi did not dare to go south."
"In this battle, General Li Mu! Stay calm in the face of danger and turn the tide, turning defeat into victory.”
"If you can raise soldiers, you will be able to defeat them in battle, and you will be able to gather in the head of Guizhou. Therefore, I conferred the title of General Li Mu on Wu'an."
"Name, Mr. Wu'an!"
The whole army looked at Zhao in shock. Wang Yan?
Fiefdom, title?
My king, are you sure you are right?
Li Mu pinched himself in disbelief.
My general, have you become the king?
And it’s Mr. Wu An!
Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Qin, dominates the world and is invincible in battle!
Zhao Zhiwu Anjun Su Qin united the six kingdoms, so that Qin did not dare to step out of Hangu Pass for fifteen years!
Now, the title of being able to rule the world with martial arts and have great prestige has fallen to him, Li Mu!
How virtuous and capable is this general!
King Yan of Zhao asked loudly: "Wu'an Jun dares to protect the head of Zhao Guizhou and force Qin to dare not advance eastward!"
Humility is not important in the army.
This general’s record is indeed far from Bai Qi’s.
But my general's abilities are no worse than Bai Qi's!
Li Mu held his neck and shouted: "The last general will defend the land and open up borders for the king, and live up to the name of Wu'an!" Zhao Wangyan laughed happily: "Good! Very good!"
“My Lord Wu An, come up to the city and let me take a good look at you!”
“The palace has prepared fine food and wine for all the generals to enter the palace for a banquet!”< br>
"Sheep and pigs have been cooked and slaughtered in the military camp. We have enough meat and wine tonight. We will not return until we are drunk!"
The generals and soldiers of the Zhao army all excitedly shouted: "Thank you, your Majesty!"
< br>As soon as the middle and high-ranking generals in the army stepped into the city gate, a large number of courtiers surrounded them, cupping their hands and smiling:
"Jun Wu An is experiencing great joy today, so he must drink the Three Lords!"
"The eldest daughter in Wei Chen's family is fourteen years old, which is the right age for marriage. It is said that Lord Wu An's son is handsome and heroic. I wonder if he has ever been married?"
"Jun Wu'an, this battle has opened up the territory of Zhao State and expanded it, and it has also dispelled the arrogance of the Qin army. I congratulate Jun Wu An!"
Li Mu has a straightforward temperament and speaks straightforwardly. He often offends people. .
So when Li Mu was guarding Daijun, he was repeatedly made things difficult by the nobles of Handan. Every time he returned to Handan, the doors were deserted and no one visited him.
But today, even Guo Kai greeted Li Mu with a smile and his words were full of flattery.
The sudden change made Li Mu unable to suppress his excitement. He smiled and held his hands in his arms: "Thank you, thank you."
"I will never come home until I'm drunk tonight!"
The excitement and noise, centered on Li Mu, moved from outside the city to Handan Palace.
When the city gates became deserted again, the guards released control of the road, and the Qin envoys were able to drive on the road again.
However, Yao Jia's brows were still furrowed.
He didn’t feel slapped in the face.
After all, he has been slapped in the face many times and has a strong psychological endurance.
Yao Jia just felt that something was wrong: "Li Mu's merits are indeed enough to be crowned a king."
"But the merits of this battle are not necessary to be crowned a king."
"I will be granted the title of Lord Wu'an in this battle. If Li Mu fights again and wins again, how should I be rewarded?"
"And I had intended to set off two days ago, but the State of Zhao forced me to stay. Today, I have just The purpose of releasing me back to Qin is to allow me to see Li Mu’s move to become the king.”
Every move of Zhao Guo seems to have a very reasonable explanation.
But when many small details came together, Yao Jia felt even more alert.
Thinking again of the several times Zhao Wangyan couldn’t help coughing and the faint fishy smell in the air when he met Zhao Wangyan, a thought suddenly jumped out of his mind: "Perhaps King Zhao is not infected with the wind and cold, but Time is running out!”
“So he is anxious!”
“He is eager to establish prestige for his favorite generals, eager to show his desire for talents, and help Zhao. The country recruits more talents for the next king to use! ”
After coming to this conjecture, Yao Jiadu felt a little incredible.
After all, Zhao Wangyan is only in his thirties this year, which is when he is young and strong.
No matter how you think about it, the word "time is running out" cannot be associated with Zhao Wangyan.
With furrowed brows, Yao Jia stepped onto the carriage and said in a deep voice: "We work day and night, changing horses along the way, and speeding back to the court!"
It was late at night.
Yao Jia is still on the road, and Li Mu is still drinking.
Fortunately, for the generals who have been stationed in northern Xinjiang for a long time, the drinks in Handan City are not intoxicating.
Just when Li Mu picked up the wine jar and prepared to have a drink with his subordinates, a eunuch walked up to Li Mu and whispered: "Jun Wu'an, the king invites you!"
Li Mu He immediately raised his hands and said: "Please lead the way!"
Hurryly sorting out the court clothes he had just put on, Li Mu followed the eunuch and quickly entered the royal study, and bowed his hands: "I will pay my respects to the king!"
< br>
King Zhao smiled and nodded: "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Wu'an."
"Sit!"
He ordered the eunuch to move a soft couch and asked Li Mu to sit in front of him. Only then did King Zhao Yan speak. : "What does Aiqing think about the future of our country, Zhao?"
Li Mu's already straight waist suddenly became even straighter.
After pondering for a moment, Li Mu just spoke: "The Great Zhao is in danger!"
Zhao Wangyan chuckled: "You are really the Wu'an Lord!"
"Tell me in detail."
As the Qin army retreated, the court was full of praises and praises.
But are they happy for Zhao?
The Chuiyi that King Zhao cut off on the first day was re-threaded and tied to the crown by the craftsman the next day!
This kind of truth can only be heard from the mouths of direct ministers such as Li Mu and Chu Long.
Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Qin seized the territory of Wei, so that Qin could attack Zhao from the east, south and west." He will definitely be overjoyed when he hears about the battle again, and his military morale will be high."
"What makes the general more uneasy is the general of Qin."
"This war minister is fighting against the Qin general Wang Jian. This man is very capable. He is not weaker than the general, but he is defeated by the general with few soldiers and food. ”
"Of course, Qin does not only have Wang Jian as a general, but also has Chang'an Lord on its side!"
"Qin General Wang Bi and Qin General Meng Wu are also generals and can lead troops to attack Zhao."< br>
“Looking at our country, Zhao, there are very few generals!”
“How can we take care of the war situation in the east, west and south at the same time when we have only one general?”
King Yan of Zhao restrained himself. Smiling, he asked solemnly: "Listen to Lord Wu An, if our country, Zhao, fights Qin again, what chance does our country have of winning?"
Li Mu said categorically: "If there is a local battle, the general will return in triumph."
"If we start a war, our great Zhao will be defeated!"
