Chapter six hundred and ninety-ninth, a moment of effort, it will not be fragrant(1/2)
Wu'an Jun Li Mu, a famous name.
In other words, no one who can be named Wu'an Jun is famous.
Bai Qi, Li Mu, Xiang Yan.
Which of these three Wu'an lords is not the super commander who has left his name in history books?
Bai Qi was known as the God of Killing and wiped out nearly one million soldiers and horses from the six Eastern countries in his life.
Li Mu swept across the grassland in his early years, and in middle age he protected Zhao State with his own strength. You should know that this was done under the premise of having a god-like opponent outside and a teammate like a pig-like inside.
As for Xiang Yan, he was able to defeat the early siege of the Qin army, and then fought against Wang Jian's 600,000 army for more than a year. He also had a grandson, Xiang Yu, known as the overlord of Western Chu.
The title of Wu'anjun is really a veritable special for famous generals. Similarly, it is also a tragic annotation.
These three Wu'anjuns in history all end up miserably.
In this world where Wang Xiao came, there were two Wu'anjuns who were finished. Only Li Mu was still alive and even came to Wang Xiao at this time.
Among the countries, the most intense resistance to Qin was Zhao and Chu, because the two countries were strong enough.
Although the State of Zhao was destroyed, their remnants fled to Dai territory and were still resolutely resisting the Qin army for several years.
Although I nominally surrendered to become a vassal in the past few years, I actually did my own way of confrontation.
Even if the gap between the national strength between the two sides is nearly a hundred times at this time.
In fact, if Qin really attacked, even with Li Mu's command, the demise of Dai State would be inevitable.
There is no way, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big.
But Wang Xiao never beat him because he admired Li Mu very much.
It is not because of Li Muchang's handsomeness, but because he is the only famous general among the four famous generals who have beaten the barbarians of the grassland.
The other famous generals deal with their own people.
Wang Xiao didn't want to see him die in his hands, so he has been holding back his hands for the past few years.
"Foreign minister Li Mu, see the emperor."
The unparalleled and unparalleled famous general finally lowered his head and saluted Wang Xiao.
"Super Zhao Guoguo, Wu'anjun." Wang Xiao on the high platform smiled, "You are finally here."
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the era of generals and ministers.
The distinction between civil and military affairs is not so strict, and Li Mulianpo has both been the prime minister of Zhao State.
"Yes." Li Mu had no expression on his face, and after saluting, he stood aside like a sculpture "The foreign minister had to come."
"Oh?" Wang Xiao asked curiously, "Why is this?"
Li Mu couldn't help rolling his eyes and thought to himself, why? Isn't this your plan? You sent all the people of Zhao who opposed you to the land, and then blocked all the important traffic routes and cut off caravans' contact. Even if other goods are not needed, even if the food is still enough, we don't have salt.
For any plan to subdue Li Mu, Wang Xiao’s plan is actually very simple.
The weakness targeted is the lack of materials on behalf of others.
There is really a shortage of supplies here, and many daily necessities are transported in through caravans.
Over the years, Wang Xiao sent all the Zhao resistances he captured to the land, which not only strengthened its population resources, but also greatly increased its burden.
After Meng Tian's Great Wall Legion blocked the Dai land from the northern grassland, Wang Xiao turned against him.
He directly stuck all the business roads and forbidden any caravans to go to the place to do business.
Without the caravans transported supplies, the bitter fruit of scarcity of goods here is revealed.
Lack of food can relieve the problem of killing horses, cattle and sheep. Lack of cloth to make clothes, you can use leaves, or simply hide in the house and not come out.
But what should I do if I lack salt?
Everyone has to eat this thing, but the Diandi is not produced at all.
After persisting for a while, Li Mu and Gongzi Jia had to send an envoy to seek peace.
Wang Xiao’s response was very simple, just to let Li Mu come over to meet him.
What else can Li Mu do? He has to come.
Qin has a dark history in treating envoys.
I won’t say much about King Huai of Chu who was arrested in the alliance. Tian Wen, one of the famous four gentlemen, was detained on the Qin State. The reason why he was able to escape was entirely due to the art of rooster crowing and dog stealing used by his disciples. This is also the source of this idiom, and this is an incident written into the record of the Grand Historian.
Before Li Mu came over, he had even arranged his funeral.
"The wise man doesn't say secret words." Wang Xiao waved his hand and asked Meng Yi and others who were nervous to retreat, and walked from the high platform to Li Mu. "My request is very simple, and I surrender unconditionally. Dai land was changed to Dai County, which was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. As for Zhao Jia, he was allowed to return to Handan City to live, and he was also allowed to worship the ancestors of the Zhao family."
Zuo Zhuan. He wrote clearly the major events of the country during the thirteenth year of Duke Cheng, only sacrifices and military affairs.
The literal meaning is easy to understand. The most important thing in national affairs is sacrifice and war.
In this era of constant war, being as famous as war is self-evident.
Wang Xiao allowed Zhao Jia to maintain the Zhao family's incense inheritance, which was definitely a great kindness.
"And you." Wang Xiao walked to Li Mu and looked at the man who seemed ordinary but had extremely magical eyes. "You and your Doi Army must serve me."
Meng Yi and others took a few steps forward and stared at Li Mu. As long as he dared to act rashly, he would immediately draw his sword.
Even if Li Mu is willing to do it, he doesn't have the ability.
It's not that he was frightened by the rumor that Jing Ke assassinated Qin. It's rumored that Wang Xiao was the son of the sky and was protected by the gods of heaven. Before Jing Ke got close, he was struck to ashes by divine thunder from the sky.
Li Mu would not believe such a rumor.
But he believed in his eyes.
As a warrior who has been practicing martial arts and fighting for many years, Li Mu could see that Wang Xiao was well-proportioned and had bright eyes. His big hands seemed to be well maintained, but in fact they had thick calluses at the tiger's mouth, which was obviously a person who had been practicing for many years.
If you want to subdue Wang Xiao with bare hands and empty fists, it is definitely not possible to do it in a short time.
With so many guards around, they would be chopped into meat paste by the sword in between two or three breaths.
It is impossible to assassinate Qin, and Daidi people still need him.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to surrender to our vassals."
"Okay, just talk to the barbarians about such fooling words. Don't do this with me."
Wang Xiao waved his hand and continued, "You will not let you go to the ends of the world to fight. The Daidi army was changed to Daixian County soldiers, stationed in Daixian County, and sent troops to only send troops to the grasslands in the north. This can be written into the imperial edict."
Li Mu curled his lips, "It's just a piece of paper."
The imperial edict at this time was not as intimidating as it was when the peak of imperial power in later generations. A general like Li Mu didn't believe it at all.
Wang Xiao coughed lightly, "Then it, you can take away enough salt for half a year when you go back this time. Please discuss whether you are willing to invest in me or not. If you still don't want to do so, then you're welcome. Next, you will launch an attack by treating the enemy country."
Li Mu felt sad.
The Qin State was surrounded by Qin. Unless he took his men and horses to the grassland, he would have nowhere to go.
Moreover, the local conditions of the Daidi Army are very strong, so it is difficult to choose to leave their hometown.
Wang Xiao didn't even need to send a large army to attack directly, just breaking the business road again is enough.
When Li Mu said goodbye and left, Meng Yi then stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you arrest him?"
"When two countries fight, they will come to envoys." Wang Xiao looked down on the habit of Qin's favorite envoys. "We are a country of etiquette, and we must first be reasonable."
Although the big girl from Qidi in the palace carefully prepared singing and dancing, Wang Xiao is a man with a strong career.
Instead of rushing to go back to watch the brand new song and dance, he hurriedly summoned Li Shiqi who had returned from the Western Regions.
"Li Qing, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at Li Shiqi, who was covered in a sheepskin coat and covered in frost, even though he knew that he was deliberately keeping this for him to see, Wang Xiao had to say nice things to comfort him.
In fact, when Li Shiqi returned, he arrived at the Hexi Corridor and had already entered the sphere of influence of the Qin Dynasty.
How easy it is to change your clothes, wash it up and then come to Xianyang City.
But he just doesn't do it, just to show his merits.
"Your Majesty." Li Shiqi performed with tears and tears. "I am far away from home and miss Your Majesty at all times. Today I am lucky enough to come back alive, which is all due to the power of His Majesty's protection."
Yes, the play must continue to be performed like this.
After a while, Wang Xiao, who has excellent acting skills, couldn't help it.
"Li Qing, will you gain something when you go west this time?"
When Li Shiqi heard Wang Xiao’s question, he knew that the matter was almost done.
He put away his acting skills, wiped away his tears and raised his hand and pointed his head. "Your Majesty, the mountains, rivers, hydrology, geography and folk customs of the Western Regions, the distribution of the country, the location of the city, and even how to walk on the local roads, how many people and soldiers there are in that city. What they say and what they use. They all remember them here."
"good!"
Wang Xiao slapped the table and said, "Li Qing has made great contributions. Your merits must be rewarded. You will be promoted to Quzhou Hou to demonstrate the achievements of opening up the Western Regions!"
Li Shiqi's tears fell again, and he howled and bowed.
He was a civilian, but with his own efforts and hard work, he climbed to the position of a marquis.
