Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 41
Seeing the expressions of disapproval on the faces of these young generals, as if he felt that he was invincible and only resorted to scheming, Xiang Shaolong chuckled and said: "A good fighter has no great achievements. Two armies confront each other, and I don't think so." Li Mu's opponent, Lian Po, stood firm, and I didn't have the confidence to conquer the line of defense. In terms of military talent, I think Li Mu is the number one in the world, but I am full of confidence in my Great Qin to destroy Zhao, do you know why?"

Everyone shook their heads and looked at Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong continued: "When I taught the prince, I said that war is never the goal, it is just a continuation of politics. Two countries are at war, not only the army, but also the national power. One strength will drop ten times, and in absolute terms In the face of powerful strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless. Preserving strength is equally important, and the real master can be exchanged for the greatest benefit at the smallest cost. Frontal confrontation is certainly vigorous, but once the success is complete, the bones will be exhausted. It is also the responsibility of the general to use the greatest ability to save his brother from sacrifice."

Xiang Shaolong's words of love for the soldiers were palpable, and these young generals were moved and began to reflect on their own way of being generals.

Xiang Shaolong watched them ponder, and said again: "Lianpo's defeat lies in his betrayal of the new king. The general killed Yingye, slaughtered the city and wiped out the family, but he wants to participate in the battle for the throne. You must know the danger of seizing the throne, Cruel, far better than the battle of Changping, father and son, brothers turned against each other, and they had to cut grass and roots. You can't blame the king for being suspicious. Po and Le Yi, famous generals thrive on wise rulers and lose to foolish ones, but those who have talent but can’t make the king feel at ease are also not considered famous generals.”

Xiang Shaolong remembered that Huanjuan seemed to be involved in Chang'an's Jun Chengjiao's treason, after being defeated by Li Mu, he fled to Yan Kingdom, was hated by the King of Qin, and finally even took his own head as Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin. stepping stone.

Xiang Shaolong continued: "A soldier is a knife in the king's hand, and he should fight wherever the king dictates. Even if a party is united in cutting down differences and forming a party for personal gain, even if it benefits for a while, it may not last long. A general who has no position is a good general. Your Majesty's order is to obey, to have strict military discipline, to love soldiers like sons, is the way to be a general."

Now Chang'an Jun Chengjiao is the second prince, and there is no shortage of supporters around him. Yangquan Jun is down, and there is Du Bi.Xiang Shaolong reminded these young people, and also wanted them to pass on the words to the old generals behind them. The Prince Zheng inherited the throne in a legitimate way. Supporting the orthodoxy is the righteousness. Anyone who wants to participate in the internal struggle of the royal family will definitely be angry. Misfortune is imminent.

Xiang Shaolong opened a window for them, allowing them to look at war, politics and the country from a higher level, and hoped that they would not make mistakes in the future and become leaders in the military.

Not long after, the news that Lian Po fled to Daliang really came.Li Mu was transferred back to the court, served as Xiangguo, and went to Qin as an envoy.

The King of Qin summoned Xiang Shaolong and said: "Shaolong made some small tricks, so the King of Zhao sent Le Cheng to replace Lian Po. After Lian Po attacked Le Cheng, he fled to the State of Wei. The State of Zhao lost a pillar, and now the King of Zhao was terrified. Li Mu sent me to Daqin to form an alliance."

After all, he laughed.

Xiang Shaolong sighed: "It's too fast."

King Qin was taken aback, and asked, "What's so fast?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Lian Po ran away too fast. My purpose of releasing Prince Zhao was not to kill Lian Po or force Lian Po away. I just hoped that he would support the prince as the leader and counterattack HD. Regardless of victory or defeat, the best He can fight for ten or eight years. Now that he has run away so quickly, there will be no such opportunities in the future."

King Qin laughed and said: "Shaolong is too greedy, Lian Po means a lot to Zhao Guo, we just let Zhao Guo lose Lian Po, it is very good."

Xiang Shaolong nodded and said yes, he did it casually at the beginning and didn't expect much in return.But when I heard that Lian Po escaped, I was a little bit unwilling, because the people's hearts were not enough to swallow the elephant, this effect was enough, what more bicycles are needed!He didn't think about it any more, and said, "It's easy to get a thousand pieces of gold, but it's hard to find a general. Looking at the six countries, Lian Po is also a first-class general. I should be satisfied."

Hearing his apt description, King Qin let out a long laugh, and said, "Shaolong is a general that cannot be replaced by gold, how about we send troops to attack Zhao now?"

Xiang Shaolong thought to himself: "You still say I'm greedy. You're going to attack Zhao just after Lian Po left. You don't have to be afraid that you'll get caught if you go too far."

But he said in his mouth: "Li Mu is still there, it is difficult to destroy Zhao, hurt one thousand enemies, and eight hundred self-injury, I will not take it. Don't worry, the king, Zhao Mu and Guo Kai are now in power, and Li Mu will not end well in the end. Time to kill Zhao Yi is like turning the palm of your hand."

King Qin now obeyed Xiang Shaolong's words, he just said: "Then you go entertain Li Mu, as for how to say it, it's up to you to decide."

Still in Zuixianlou, with mellow wine and delicate delicacies, Li Mu still looked solemn, and sighed: "It is my great Zhao's loss that I failed to keep the general."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "I am originally from Qin, and I went to HD to save the queen and the crown prince. Therefore, Zhao Guo did not lose anything."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes. Great Qin has a lot of talents, Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian are famous all over the world, but it's a pity that they are not from my country of Zhao."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Xiang Li is overrated. Zhao Guo is the most famous general in this era, and he has an army of hundreds of battles. When the Yan people besieged HD, I was there, and then I was defeated by General Lian Po and Le Cheng with 13. 60, defeating the people of Yan. The most powerful army in the world, apart from our Great Qin, is Zhao Guo."

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately, General Lian Po is no longer in my Great Zhao."

As he spoke, he gave Xiang Shaolong a hard look.

Knowing that he hated himself for sending back Prince Zhao and forcing Lian Po away, Xiang Shaolong didn't take it seriously, chuckled lightly, and asked, "If I hadn't sent your prince back, would General Lian Po have died well in Zhao? Although I hand Prince Zhao over to General Lian, do you think he will rebel?"

Li Mu shouted: "Of course not!"

Xiang Shaolong nodded and said, "I don't think so either."

After finishing speaking, I stopped talking.

Li Mu sighed, after all, the king still didn't trust him, it was the same in the battle of Changping, and it is still the same now.

After King Wuling of Zhao, the state of Zhao no longer had a wise king, and there were no famous generals, but it was getting weaker and weaker day by day.

Xiang Shaolong continued: "Don't talk about General Lian, let's talk about Li Xiangyou. Guarding the northern border, defeating the Xiongnu, and now worshiping the prime minister, an extremely human minister, do you think you can die well in Zhao?"

Li Mu was furious, and then had to be discouraged, knowing that this was Xiang Shaolong's provocation, but he still couldn't refute it.

Zhao Wang favored Zhao Mu and Guo Kai, and he was regarded as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. This time, he had no choice but to pay his respects. He wanted to use his own prestige, but also wanted to squeeze him out. Li Mu himself was full of despair about the future.

However, Li Mu's nerve tenacity is different from ordinary people, and he quickly put this negative emotion behind him, saying: "With me, Li Mu, in one day, you will never want to destroy me, Great Zhao."

Xiang Shaolong didn't take it seriously either, Li Mu's ending was doomed, he could change many things, but he couldn't change a person's character.

Whether it is Li Mu, Zhao Wang, or Zhao Mu and Guo Kai, the story between them is determined by their personalities, and I just need to wait quietly for them to kill Li Mu.

Li Mu died, Zhao Guo died.

Xiang Shaolong never thought of recruiting Li Mu, firstly, it was impossible for him to surrender, and secondly, it would be an insult to Li Mu.

Li Mu was born in Zhao, grew up in Zhao, was loyal to Zhao, and died in Zhao. Although he died unjustly, it was still a perfect life.

Li Mu's mission this time was neither a success nor a failure. He stabilized the state of Qin, but he didn't get any substantive promises.

As soon as Li Mu left, Li Yuan brought the little princess of Chu State to marry Da Qin.

Li Yuan first found Xiang Shaolong, and wanted Xiang Shaolong to help persuade the King of Qin to make the little princess of the Chu Kingdom the crown prince, and she would be the queen after the crown prince succeeded.

Xiang Shaolong was noncommittal, he was not interested in this kind of thing, and in his memory, Qin Shihuang never had a queen in his life.Besides, this is the royal family taking a daughter-in-law, and he doesn't want to participate. Let him and his father worry about who the prince wants to marry and establish.

Xiang Shaolong didn't want to worry about it, but he didn't expect that Prince Zheng came to the door by himself.He quietly ran to the general's mansion with Gan Luo.

Prince Zheng is 15 years old, tall as an adult, with a calm momentum and a majestic appearance.

Gan Luo has grown a lot taller, with a little baby fat, but he is still a handsome boy.

Prince Zheng saw Xiang Shaolong and said: "Teacher, I don't want to marry the little princess of Chu to be a concubine, to be a concubine."

Xiang Shaolong asked, "Why?"

Prince Zheng said: "There is no rush to establish a crown princess, I will talk about it when I become an adult."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Then don't stand up, what are you talking to me about?"

Prince Zheng said: "I'm afraid that my father will agree with them, and my father believes in Taifu's words the most, so I came to see Taifu."

Xiang Shaolong became interested, and asked and answered: "Do you already have someone in mind? Let's hear it."

Prince Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to think about it now."

Xiang Shaolong asked gossipingly: "Is the little princess of Chu Kingdom ugly?"

The Prince Zheng frowned, thinking why the Taifu's question is so unreliable, is it a question of beauty and ugliness?

Still patiently replied: "I haven't seen her before, but if you dare to let her marry and want to be a princess, she should be a beauty."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "Isn't it good to talk about love with a little beauty?"

Prince Zheng said: "Is there anything to talk about, I have a lot of beauties, the princess will be the queen in the future, how can I make a decision so easily."

One sentence choked Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong actually didn't quite understand how much they valued the main wife. In his family Shu'er was supposed to have the lowest status, but he treated Shu'er no differently from other people, and he was also happy to hold the beautiful woman in his palm.

He was also surprised that the crown prince was in adolescence, and he didn't have any yearning for love and romance, and he didn't have any romantic feelings. Is it because there are many beauties around him, and women are no longer mysterious in his eyes?Or is it because of machismo that men in this era don't value women?Or maybe he was born ruthless and ungrateful, otherwise why didn't he set up a queen in his whole life?
