Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 424: Human nature

After Guo Kai left, Ziyou and several others no longer thought about going to Handan, but headed towards Wucheng.

"Is it really feasible for Guo Kai to go to Lord Changping?" Concubine Yan asked her worries on the way.

"Are you worried that Guo Kai will rebel?" Ziyou asked.

Concubine Yan shook her head and said

"Changping Lord may keep Guo Kai's money, but it is absolutely impossible to keep Guo Kai's life." Concubine Yan said. Lord Changping cherishes his feathers very much and will not bring people like Guo Kai into his sphere of influence. Even if Lord Changping is willing to sacrifice his own reputation, the famous officers and officials under him will not be willing to do so.

"What if Guo Kai becomes the leader of the remaining forces of Zhao State after the demise of Zhao State? Don't underestimate Guo Kai. In Zhao State, Guo Kai was able to force Lian Po away and almost kill Li Mu. His methods were not low. " Ziyou said.

Being able to prosper in the officialdom is not something ordinary people can do. In addition, Guo Kai has money to open the way. Lord Changping will keep Guo Kai no matter what.

"I hope your plan will succeed." Concubine Yan said.

"I also hope that."

Then everyone continued to move towards Wucheng.

At this time, the Wuling Iron Cavalry led by Li Mu was heading south quickly. The cities passing by along the way saw Li Mu leading the Wuling Iron Cavalry, and no one stepped forward to stop them. It was not that they all felt that Zhao Wangqian was ashamed of Li Mu and the Wuling Iron Cavalry, nor were they. He also wanted to surrender to Qin, but simply couldn't defeat him.

At this time, Li Mu had already crossed the Sang River, and ahead was the last city they arrived in Handan, Fangfang City.

When the defenders of Fangfang City saw Li Mu coming to their city with the Wuling Cavalry, they all prepared their formations and did not dare to slack off at all. The deputy general standing on the city wall said to the soldiers beside him.

"You stay here and keep an eye on me while I go find the general."

"promise!"

The deputy general glanced at the Wuling Iron Cavalry, which was only three or four miles away from the city, and swallowed nervously. Even though they were three or four miles away, the deputy general still felt the overwhelming pressure of the Wuling Iron Cavalry.

"I hope Mr. Wu An will not send anyone to attack us." The lieutenant prayed in his heart.

After getting off the city wall, the deputy general quickly arrived at the location of the guard of Fangfang City. At this time, the guard of Fangfang City was lying leisurely on his concubine's lap at home, eating fruits and melons, showing no sign of the enemy. Sense of urgency.

There was a knock on the door of the room, and the servant's voice sounded outside the door.

"General, Vice-General Zhang is here to greet you."

"Zhang Da? Why did this guy come to me if he doesn't defend the city well?" Li Ming, the guard general of Fangfang City, asked in confusion.

"Vice General Zhang said that Mr. Wu'an has crossed the Sang River and will soon arrive at our house," the boy said.

"Tell him that I have a cold and won't see guests." Li Ming turned over and said.

"No, I'll reply to him right away."

When the boy was about to leave, Li Ming jumped down from the bed and said

"Forget it, let him in, I'll see him later."

"promise."

After the servant left, Li Ming's concubine couldn't help complaining when she was dressing Li Ming.

"Didn't the generals take leave? Why do we still need to see this Zhang Da?"

"Zhang Da is a stupid young man. I'm afraid this kid will do something reckless." Li Ming said with a headache.

"What is this reckless thing?" the concubine asked curiously.

Li Ming pinched his concubine's face and said

"This is a matter for men. Wait until I come back."

The concubine's cheeks suddenly became flushed, and she whispered, "I'll be waiting for the general."

Before leaving, Li Ming patted his concubine's plump buttocks again, which made her shy for a while.

After Li Ming walked to the living room, Zhang Da quickly stood up and saluted Li Ming.

"General, Mr. Wu An and his Wuling cavalry are only three or four miles away from us. Should we take some precautions?" Zhang Da asked.

"Be careful, do you think Mr. Wu An will attack our city?" Li Ming asked.

"But Lord Wu An is going to attack Handan? Your Majesty's edict just arrived yesterday, telling us to resist Lord Wu An." Zhang Da said hesitantly.

Seeing Zhang Da's unsatisfactory look, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little angry. Zhang Da and he had been partners for many years, and the two of them had always gotten along very well. Only Zhang Da's inflexible mind made Li Ming angry. Ming was very helpless.

"Do you think you are better than Wu Anjun in the way of using troops? Or do you think our Fangfang City defenders can match the Wuling Cavalry?" Li Ming asked.

"Of course it's not as good as this." Zhang Da said aggrievedly. If he was better at leading troops than Li Mu, could he still be a lieutenant in a small city like Fangfang City?

"That's it, brothers' lives are also lives, there is no need to fight with Lord Wu An." Li Ming said.

"But."

Before Zhang Da finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Ming.

"Stop it, Mr. Wu An was able to come to our house city from Yanmen Pass so quickly. Do you think anyone stopped Mr. Wu An along the way?" Li Ming continued without waiting for Zhang Da's answer, "What the king did is too much. If it is If this happened to me, I would probably make the same choice as Mr. Wu An. Zhao is still a country now, and the king is still a king now, but it may not be the same in the future. The lives of brothers are also lives, and their families hope that they can go back alive. , think about it carefully."

Li Ming patted Zhang Da on the shoulder and left without waiting for Zhang Da's answer.

It wasn't until Zhang Da walked out of Li Ming's mansion that he came back to his senses. He glanced at Li Ming's mansion with complicated eyes, returned to the city wall and issued an order.

"Do whatever you have to do, remember that Mr. Wu An has never passed by our house."

The soldiers on the city wall were stunned for a moment, and then a touch of relief appeared on their nervous faces. They were really worried that Zhang Da would ask them to fight Li Mu desperately. If they were asked to fight the Qin army, they would not hesitate, but to fight with themselves, they were worried. They were very reluctant, but now that Zhang Da had spoken, they naturally did whatever they had to do.

After the people sent by Li Ming to follow Zhang Da reported Zhang Da's order to Li Ming, Li Ming also smiled and said

"This Da has finally changed."

Then he put down the tea cup in his hand and went back to look for his concubine. He couldn't waste this rare opportunity, it would only happen after a lot of trouble.

When Li Mu saw the soldiers on the city wall being lazy, he didn't take them seriously.

"General, are the defenders of this city a member of your clan?" Sima Shang asked curiously.

"Yes, he is considered my grand-nephew." Li Mu nodded and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. After passing Fangfang City, we will bypass Xingcheng and go straight to Handan."

"promise!"

In the Qin Army's camp outside Wucheng, Wang Jian was listening to the report on the results of the various troops sent out.

"Is there any news from Meng Tian?" Wang Jian asked.

"Commander, General Meng's information has not been delivered yet!"
