The gentleman was defeated by the villain Li Mu's death case
When King Wuling of Zhao was trapped and starved to death, the princes of various countries were very fortunate that they could finally be freed from the tense situation, relax and enjoy life. And the Xiongnu, whom King Wuling of Zhao had once beaten, also began to harass the Daijun region again.
The people of Zhao on the border suffered greatly from the impermanence of plundering and fled to the interior. Despite the constant change of generals, the battle situation at the border passes has not improved, the soldiers are heavy, and the people's belongings have been plundered.
Decades later, King Zhao realized that something had to change, so he sent Li Mu, a general with both civil and military skills, to take charge of the border of Yanmen Pass.
Li Mu was a unique general, and after he came to Daijun, he adopted a different strategy. He ordered the soldiers not to go to war without permission during the invasion of the Xiongnu, and to use all the goods and taxes in the market** to improve the food of the soldiers.
At the same time, he also strengthened the cavalry training and warning system of the soldiers, so that the Zhao soldiers could react quickly in the event of a Xiongnu invasion and defend the camp without taking the initiative to attack.
Although this strategy puzzled many, it left the Xiongnu in defeat with each invasion, and they were almost unable to plunder anything. Although Li Mu's strategy caused many people to misunderstand him, thinking that he was cowardly, and some people even said bad things about him in the ear of King Zhao, Li Mu always insisted on his approach and remained unmoved.
However, King Zhao could not stand Li Mu's conservative approach and ordered him to lead his troops to attack the Xiongnu. However, Li Mu still adhered to his strategy and did not fight.
In the end, King Zhao couldn't bear it anymore and removed Li Mu.
The new generals took office vigorously and resolutely, and were defeated repeatedly, the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, the border could not be cultivated and grazed normally, and the soldiers and the people complained. King Zhao was helpless and wanted to recall Li Mu.
Li Mu refused on the grounds that he was ill, but promised to go without interfering with his autonomy. After Li Mu took office again, he could not hold out, the Xiongnu gained nothing, and their morale was low.
The soldiers on the border asked for a decisive battle, and Li Mu seized the opportunity to select elite soldiers and good generals, and practiced the conversion of attack and defense. At the same time, he ordered the grazing of cattle and sheep to attract the Huns. After the small force of the Huns was tempted, Li Mu set up an ambush and annihilated more than 100,000 Hun cavalry in one fell swoop.
Li Mu took advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminated a number of hostile forces in a row, so that the northern border of Zhao was stable and the border was restored to prosperity.
In 243 BC, Li Mu was ordered to lead an army to attack Yan, and successively captured Wusui and Fangcheng in Yan. In 233 BC, the Zhao general Hu Hu was defeated in a battle with the Qin general Huan Qi, losing 100,000 soldiers.
The Qin army then attacked the rear of the Zhao state, and the situation was critical. King Zhao appointed Li Mu as a general and led his troops south to counterattack the Qin army. A rare fierce battle was launched in Yi'an, Li Mu led more than 100,000 Zhao troops and successfully annihilated the Qin army, and Huan Qi fled to Yan with only a small number of personal soldiers.
As a result, Li Mu was named Wu Anjun and became one of the four famous generals who terrified the enemy during the Warring States Period. In 232 BC, Li Mu built the Great Wall of Steel again in Fanwu, stubbornly intercepted the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Qin Yingzheng, and defeated the Qin army in a surprise counterattack.
In 229 BC, the Qin army attacked the Zhao capital Handan, and the king of Zhao appointed Li Mu as a general to take charge of all combat matters against the Qin army. Under Li Mu's strict defense, the Qin army gained nothing.
The general of the Qin army, Wang Qian, knew that Li Mu was the barrier of the Zhao state, so he imitated the strategy of the Battle of Changping and sent spies to the capital of the Zhao state to spread rumors that Li Mu and the deputy general Sima Shang colluded with the Qin army.
Zhao Wangqian was convinced, and appointed the clan Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu and Sima Shang. Li Mu refused to carry out the order, but in the end he was caught in the trap laid by the villain.
Li Mu's unjust death added another loyal soul, turning into a cloud in the sky, watching his motherland struggle painfully under the iron hooves of the enemy. Three months later, in the spring of 228 BC, the general of the Qin army, Wang Qian, led his army to attack Handan, and Zhao Wangqian became a prisoner of Qin in tears of remorse, and Zhao was also destroyed.
The king of Qin put Zhao Wangqian under house arrest in Fangling, which was like a cemetery for the living, and Zhao Wangqian was heartbroken and sang "Fangshan is the palace, and the depressed water is the pulp; Don't play for the piano, but smell the soup of flowing water!
The ruthlessness of the water can still be caused by the Han River, the master of the rest of the ten thousand times, and the dream of the hometown in vain! Husband, who makes the rest of the rest of this? It's a hole in slander! The good ministers are drowning, the society is falling, and the rest is not deaf, dare to complain about the king of Qin?
Soon, King Zhao, who was a slave to the country, died depressed. At that time, King Zhao's younger brother Gongzi Jia led more than 100 members of the clan to flee to Daidi and set himself up as the acting king, temporarily taking a breath.
However, only six years later, the Qin army annexed the Yan Kingdom, easily eliminating the Dai Kingdom along the way, and Gongzi Jia was forced to commit suicide.
In the game of thrones, a seemingly insignificant little person can easily subvert the world in the "nest fight" where his hands turn over into clouds and his hands turn into rain. The reason for this is not only the incompetence of the king and the indiscriminate killing of innocents, but also the fact that those who follow the moral norms and the laws of fairness and justice are often trampled under the feet of villains and politicians.
They dare to challenge human common sense and laws, even geometric axioms, in pursuit of their own interests and power.
