Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 189
"What did you say?"

The messenger panted: "Currently, the Wei army has captured thirty cities in Hedong County, and they have no intention of stopping now. Hedong is in danger!"

Pang She showed an expression of disbelief.

He just said that the 10,000+ Wei army was not something to be afraid of, and news immediately came that the Wei army had captured thirty cities in the east of Hedong.

Slap him in the face.

He looked at Li Mu and his face became extremely ugly.

Obviously, this was intentional by Li Mu and others.

Emperor Cheng Xiang, the emperor of Zhao who was sitting on the dragon throne, did not realize the subtlety of this. He immediately became panicked when he heard that Hedong City had been captured by the Wei army for thirty cities.

"The Wei army has captured thirty cities of the Zhao Kingdom. Prime Minister, General Li, what do you think we should do? The Wei army will not attack Handan, right?"

Li Mu comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't panic. In my opinion, it took more than a month for the Wei army to capture the thirty cities in Hedong. It was not because the Wei army was too strong, but because they used intimidation and alienation tactics." Achieve results like this.”

"Every time they attacked a city, they spread rumors about the battles of Jinyin and Linhe, exaggerating the combat power of Wei's soldiers, causing the people and martial arts forces in the city to be in disarray first, and then promising huge profits to persuade the martial arts forces in each city to surrender. If anyone does not obey the power, he will be assassinated to serve as a warning to others."

"Coupled with the deterrence of fifth-level warriors, many small cities surrendered without fighting. Along the way, the Wei army actually captured less than one-third of the cities with force." Li Mu said: "If His Highness issues an edict, allow the final We will allocate another 20 troops, and we will finally have the confidence to stop the Wei army's invasion."

Pang She saw Li Mu's intention to avenge his shame and wanted to re-establish his position.

He immediately said: "No!"

In his opinion, the failed Li Mu at this time is the best Li Mu.

It would be better if he could be nailed to the pillar of shame so that the verdict would never be reversed.

Above the court, everyone's eyes fell on Pang She.

Pang She has been in a high position for a long time, and he is not angry but powerful.

He was originally affected by the news of the Wei army's attack on the city, but he quickly suppressed it, and his expression returned to normal.

Facing everyone's gaze, Pang She said calmly: "General Li has already destroyed an army of 30 people. Will he destroy an army of 20 people again? Even though our Zhao country is strong, it cannot withstand such consumption. "

"Xiangbang is right."

The Zhao ministers who belonged to Pang She's camp in the court stood up one after another to agree.

"Since the founding of the State of Zhao, defeated generals have never commanded troops again. General Li Mu has already been defeated, so new generals should be dispatched to the Wei army this time, so as not to repeat the same mistake, Your Majesty!"

When Emperor Zhao faced the rebuttal of his ministers, his face was in a trance and he had no idea of ​​his own.

Li Mu stood up, clasped his fists and said smoothly: "Wei Chen heard what the ministers said and felt that it made sense. Wei Chen is indeed not suitable to be in charge of the army."

"Ok?"

As soon as Li Mu said these words, many ministers looked at each other.

I didn't expect him to admit it so directly.

When Pang She looked at Li Mu, his expression was also uncertain. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

Emperor Cheng Xiang, the emperor of Zhao State, who was sitting on the dragon throne, quickly asked: "Does General Li have any other good strategies?"

Li Mu pursed his lips, showing a hint of success: "The master of the Haoran Sect is at the ninth level of martial courage. He is only one step away from the realm of creation. One person can be worth thousands of troops. Your Majesty, if you can please If the leader of the Haoran Sect takes action, then the Wei army's offensive will be easily resolved."

Pang She's expression changed, and she understood that this was Li Mu's ultimate goal.

He wanted the leader of Haoran Sect to intervene in this matter.

Once the leader of the Haoran Sect succeeded in repelling a powerful enemy like Wei, not only would the Haoran Sect's reputation among the people rise to a higher level, but he would also be able to legitimately ask for rewards from Emperor Chengxiang, who did not dare not agree.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to let Haoran Sect snatch away some of his family's interests in Zhao State.

The Haoran Sect has a close relationship with Li Mu. If the Haoran Sect is successful, Li Mu will be able to win back the battle and gain a firm foothold even if the war against Wei is unfavorable.

It has to be said that this approach did improve his situation.

Just after Li Mu finished speaking, the ministers who were in the same camp as Li Mu also stood up and said in support: "I agree, if the leader of the Haoran Sect takes action before Wei Guo can react, the situation can be reversed by taking it by surprise. Defeat the Wei army."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"..."

More and more ministers came forward.

Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, silently counted the number of ministers who stood up to support him.

Based on past experience, as long as either Li Mu or Pang She has more than [-]% support, he will be certain.

At that time, as long as the brainless consent is the safest, there will be no risks.

When he looked at Pang She's side, there were very few people who refuted it, and he knew better.

Immediately, Emperor Zhao Guochengxiang made the final decision and expressed his opinion: "In that case, I will go to meet the leader of the Haoran Sect in person later today, and then General Li Mu will go with me."

"Your Majesty has a distinguished reputation." Li Mu praised respectfully.

Seeing that Li Mu had brought the situation back, Pang She and the others couldn't help but remained silent and didn't say anything more.

"That's all for today's court affairs."

"Disperse!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

After the dispersion of the dynasty, under the angry eyes of Pang She and others, Li Mu left the Zhao palace calmly and returned to the Li Mansion in Handan City.

This mansion was originally owned by a businessman from Zhao State.

I was spotted by him a long time ago.

Later, the businessman's business failed and he sold the house after bankruptcy.

Emperor Chengxiang bought this house and "actively" rewarded it to him, making it his Li Mansion.

Since the house was very large, occupying two streets, it was not just his family who lived here in the Li family.

He asked some of his more valued subordinates, confidants, and retainers to move in.

Ji Guofu and three others escorted Li Mu to study hard, and their achievements were also noticed by Li Mu, so he took advantage of the situation and let him into the Li Mansion, becoming one of his more valued subordinates.

As soon as Li Mu returned to his mansion, he walked straight into his "general ordering station".

It was a room that he ordered to be set aside separately for him to discuss important military and political matters with his subordinates.

Ji Guofu and others had known about it in advance and had been waiting in the "Dianjiangtai" for a long time.

When they saw Li Mu walking in, they all stood up: "Your Majesty!"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

Ji Guofu and others sat down again after hearing this.

A counselor who was a counselor spoke at the door: "My lord, did everything go well in the court today?"

Li Mu stroked his beard and smiled: "Everything went as we planned. Emperor Chengxiang agreed to ask the leader of the Haoran Sect to take action. With a little foreshadowing, that old man Pang She couldn't even fart."

"Hahaha, then congratulations in advance to the Lord." Li Mu put away his smile and said: "We can't be too happy yet, let's implement it according to our previous plan."

The counselor, who was a counselor, said at the door: "Today I have sent people to spread rumors in Handan City, exaggerating the power of Wei soldiers and the Wei army. In this way, after the Haoran Sect takes action, our profits can be maximized."

After hearing this, Li Mu said solemnly: "This matter must be foolproof. If we fail this time, we will easily be doomed and it will be extremely difficult for us to stand up."

"I understand."

Li Mu was still worried and looked at Ji Guofu and asked: "Ji Xiaowei, when you went to Luling to investigate, did you know that in addition to Wei Wuji, the leader of the Ming Cult, there are other people with high levels of cultivation in Ying County?" Warrior?"

Ji Guofu did not hesitate and replied decisively: "No, except for Wei Wuji who may have a third-level martial arts cultivation level, the entire Ying County has not heard of anyone with a higher cultivation level. It has never been heard of in the past. Pass."

"That's good." Li Mu said reassuringly: "General Cen Xiu of the Wei State is also very brave in martial arts. He is not even as good as me. In the entire Wei State, except for the Taoist leader of the Zhengyi Sect, no one can be It is easy for the opponents of the Haoran Sect leader to kill the Wei army leaders in the east of the river. Once the Wei army generals die, the remaining army will be scattered and have no basis. Our plan will have room to implement and the possibility of success. "

The retainer echoed: "The possibility of success is extremely high. Once the Haoran Sect leader agrees, a surprise will cause heavy losses to the Wei army in the east of the river."

"As long as the Wei army is defeated, it will be a good time for me to fight back in the court." Li Mu said with a smile: "King Wu, Wu Qi, Wei Wuzu... no matter what trump cards he has, they are just paper in the face of absolute strength. It’s just that, it will break when you poke it.”

Ji Guofu's heart skipped a beat, and he gradually understood Li Mu's plan and strategy.

This was to get the leader of the Haoran Sect to take action against Zhao Hongming and the others.

If Haoran Zongzong takes action, King Wu Zhao Hongming may be in trouble.

I'm afraid all the promises I made to him before will have to be fulfilled.

Everything he did was in vain.

Ji Guofu didn't want this to happen.

He put away his thoughts and listened carefully to the words of others, especially Li Mu and others.

Since they all saved Li Mu's life, Li Mu had no need to doubt him and was completely unguarded against them at this time.

Ji Guofu also heard clearly all the subtle relationships in Zhao Guo's court.

When the main business was almost discussed, Li Mu, who had fully recovered after a period of recuperation, hosted a banquet at the "Dianjiangtai", and the guests enjoyed themselves.

In the afternoon, Li Mu's confidants and retainers dispersed.

Ji Guofu returned to his residence and found his subordinates who had been with him for a long time.

This man is about 40 to [-] years old. He can see the spirit of loyalty by using the art of gazing, so he always keeps it with him.

After Ji Guofu whispered a few words, he asked, "Are you clear about everything?"

"I remembered it all."

"Okay, it's an emergency, do it quickly."

"clear."

The middle-aged subordinate left Li's residence very calmly, and did not return until late in the evening.

And just as he was leaving, a fast horse was heard outside Handan City, galloping towards the east of the river.

……

The capital of the State of Zhao, Handan City, was bustling.

The broad street is lined with shops, filled with smoke, busy with traffic, and bustling with people.

Outside the shop filled with goods, people were coming and going, and the sounds of soliciting customers, bargaining, and buying and selling merged into a noisy atmosphere.

The air on the street is filled with fragrance, nobles riding carriages, businessmen running business, rich clothes, jewelry and green feathers...

Being in it, the majestic momentum and prosperity make people feel proud.

Just after Li Mu and others dispersed from the dynasty, the news that Wei soldiers had captured the thirty cities of Zhao in more than a month spread like wildfire and became a topic of discussion in Handan City.

"Have you heard? The soldiers of Wei State captured more than 30 cities in Hedong County in more than a month."

"This news has spread throughout Handan City for a long time, and everyone knows about it."

"I also heard that in the previous battles of Jinyin and Linhe, Wei soldiers only used 30 troops to defeat Li Mu's [-] army."

"real or fake?"

"Can I still lie to you? You would have known about it just by asking around in Handan. This is not a secret."

"Where did this Wei soldier come from and become so powerful?"

"I heard that the leader of the army was named Wu Qi. He was originally from the Wei Kingdom. He later joined the Wei Kingdom's Forbidden Army and was assigned to the command of Wei King Wu Wang Zhao Hongming. This Wei soldier was also trained by him."

"It seems that this Wu Qi is going to become a general and become famous all over the world."

"It should be. In fact, the record of Wei Wu's soldiers is really terrible. I have never heard of any army with a record like theirs."

Many Zhao State knights gathered together to discuss the news about Wei Wuzu.

"If we calculate it carefully, 30 Wei soldiers can be compared to an army of [-] people. If Wei soldiers have [-] soldiers, wouldn't they be able to withstand an army of millions?"

"hiss……"

Everyone took a deep breath.

"No wonder thirty cities east of the river in Zhao State fell one after another."

"Wei Wuzu is really terrifying."

"You know that Wei's soldiers are scary, but do you know how well treated they are?"

While everyone was discussing, an inappropriate voice came out.

The speaker was a young martial artist wearing a gray shorts, with an unattractive appearance.

"Looking at your accent, are you from Wei?"

The young martial artist was noncommittal.

"What do you mean by the treatment of Wei Wu soldiers you just mentioned?"

"Wei Wuzu said that Wu Qi was the general, but in fact he had the support of King Wu of Yingjun. His treatment was far superior to that of the other five armies. Even the five armies of Wei could not be compared."

A ranger warrior asked curiously: "What's so special about it?"

"As long as you join the Wei soldiers and make contributions on the battlefield, you will not only get wish stones, gold and silver, but also titles and martial arts skills." The young martial artist paused and continued: "I heard that the Kung Fu rewards are all from the King of Wu Your Highness took it from the royal arsenal of Wei State, and it is far superior to ordinary martial arts."

After listening, someone suddenly realized: "There is such a thing. No wonder Wei Wu's soldiers are so fierce and powerful. If it were me, I would be willing to fight for such a reward. Even if I die, I can stand up for future generations." Opportunity."

"The conditions are so good, why don't you participate? Could it be that you lied to us?"

The young martial artist sighed: "There are thresholds for becoming a Wei martial soldier. As long as a martial artist of the third grade of Open Pulse needs to pass the test, I did not meet the conditions and was dismissed."

"Then I just fit the bill. I can't miss such a good opportunity. I want to go to Ying County and seek refuge with King Wu."

"Go together, go together."

In a matter of moments, many knight-errant warriors were persuaded and wanted to join the Wei warriors.

As the reputation of Wei Wuzu spread throughout the six kingdoms, the same scene happened everywhere else.
