Chapter 731 Ying Chengjiao: I Worry About the Country of Zhao Day and Night! I Am Willing to Help Wu'an Jun to Clean up the Court!
Northwest of Flame Mountain.
The trail at the end of Fukou Pass is no longer as narrow as the Houao Mountain section.
But when tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured into this place, it still seemed quite crowded.
Li Mu rode on a white horse, wore a white robe and silver armor and stepped forward with a gun. Hundreds of soldiers guarded Li Mu.
Ying Chengyu also rode on a white horse, wearing blood-stained red armor and red robes, and left the formation with a halberd. Hundreds of soldiers followed behind Ying Chengyu.
Two hundred and fifty feet apart, the two men stationed their horses at the same time.
And just a stone's throw behind the two men, ten thousand elite Qin troops and ten thousand elite Zhao troops strung their crossbows, unsheathed their swords, and formed their entire army in formation!
Ying Chengyu held a halberd in one hand and bowed his hand in a salute: "Jun Zhao Wu'an, you are well."
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, not only allowing Li Mu to clearly hear what Ying Chengyu said, but even Zhao Jun further away could hear what Ying Chengyu said.
Li Mu also held a gun with one hand and returned the salute: "I have seen Lord Qin Changan, but I didn't know that Lord Qin Changan invited me to come here."
"Why?"
Listening to the words shouted by Li Mu's soldiers, Ying Chengyu looked at Li Mu sincerely and said: "I came here for peace!"
The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly: "Peace?"
"Mr. Qin Chang'an came to the battlefield to answer for peace again?"
If Li Mu hadn't deliberately collected all the information about Ying Chengyu, Li Mu might have truly believed what Ying Chengyu said.
But precisely because Li Mu had specially collected all the information about Ying Chengyu, Li Mu knew very well that when answering in front of the formation, Ying Chengyu repeatedly said that he came for peace.
But what's the result?
The state of Wei is dead! Chu State is dead! King Zhao Miaoxiang was furious to death!
Now, Ying Chengyu actually said that he came for peace!
Who believes it!
Ying Chengyu believed it himself and said firmly: "Yes, I came here for peace!"
"As far as I know, the State of Zhao originally had no intention of attacking our country, Great Qin."
"It was Zhao Xiang Guo Kai who insisted on going his own way and sent troops to attack Qin after Zhao Zuo's master was killed by the dragon!"
"There are many doubts surrounding the death of Master Zhao Zuo, and the Zhao State has not yet given an explanation to the world."
"This general has reason to suspect that Zhao Zuo's master Chu Long died because of Zhao Xiang Guo Kai."
"I have more reason to suspect that Prime Minister Zhao Guo's attack on our country, Da Qin, is a lie. He is using this to transfer Lord Zhao Wu'an and other loyal ministers of Zhao State away from the country to prevent Lord Zhao Wu'an from leading his army back to Handan City. This is true!"
"The reason why Zhao Xiang Guo Kai wants to transfer Lord Zhao Wu'an is to cut off King Zhao's eyes and ears, threaten King Zhao's safety, and plot to usurp King Zhao's power!"
"Be that thief who steals the country!!!"
Li Mu sighed in his heart, but said firmly: "Of course there are many rebellious ministers and traitors in the court, who disrupt the government."
"However, I, as Lord Wu'an of Great Zhao, will go on an expedition under the king's command. All I want is to bring victory to Great Zhao!"
Li Mu's direct, complex and contradictory mentality prevents Li Mu from circumventing the topic, nor will he deny Ying Chengyu's words without conscience, nor will he slap his head and lead the army back to Handan.
But Li Mu's words were tantamount to admitting Ying Chengyu's accusation.
For a moment, the Zhao soldiers looked at a loss, and they all raised their ears to listen to the conversation between the two.
The fight between our Da Zhao high-level officials is so exciting!
The Zhao army generals looked at each other in shock.
Zhao Xiang Guo Kai wants to be the thief who steals the country?
What Ying Chengyu said was too shocking!
However, since Zhao Gongzijia was imprisoned for no reason, the situation between the DPRK and China was indeed particularly strange, and even the generals stationed on the border felt that something was wrong.
If Zhao Xiang Guo Kai intends to be the thief who steals the country, all the weird things seem to have reasonable answers.
Li Mu's words made Ying Chengxuan's accusation even more credible!
Ying Chengyu hated him and said angrily: "I am the state of Zhao, and I sigh in sorrow all night long!"
"Mr. Zhao Wu'an knows that there are treacherous ministers doing evil in the Zhao court, but he still only cares about fighting abroad and ignores the affairs in the court?"
"Mr. Zhao Wu'an, has he forgotten who promoted you to be a general in the name of our ancestors, and who promoted you to be Lord Wu'an of Zhao?"
"It's King Zhao Xiaocheng! It's King Zhao Daoxiang!"
"Mr. Zhao Wu'an is now sitting back and watching as the grandson of King Zhao Xiaocheng and the son of King Zhao Daoxiang are bullied by treacherous ministers in the court, and their loyal ministers are harmed, leaving them isolated and helpless."
"Is this your loyalty to Mr. Zhao Wu'an?"
"Which one is loyal to Zhao Wu'an, the Kingdom of Zhao, or the King of Zhao?"
"Jun Zhao Wu'an! King Zhao Xiaocheng and King Zhao Daoxiang are standing in the underworld, staring straight at you!"
These words made Li Mu feel extremely heavy.
Although King Zhao Xiaocheng and King Zhao Daoxiang both dismissed Li Mu from the general position, they also criticized Li Mu angrily.
But Ying Chengyu was right about one thing. If it weren't for King Zhao Xiaocheng's broad-mindedness, Li Mu, a descendant of Li Dui, would hardly be reused by any king.
If King Zhao Daoxiang hadn't valued Li Mu, Li Mu's merits would have been far from enough to be crowned a king, let alone the title of Lord Wu'an.
King Zhao Xiaocheng and King Zhao Daoxiang were kind to Li Mu, and Li Mu also remembered this kindness.
But now, Ying Chengyu, the great wizard of the world, said that the two former kings were staring at him from the underworld!
Li Mu didn't think that Ying Chengxuan was lying, he just thought that he did not deserve the trust of the two former kings. The two former kings were now standing in the underworld staring at him, shaking their heads and sighing, lamenting that they had entrusted him to such a wrong person!
But what can Li Mu do!
Could he do Li Dui's old deeds again?
Li Mu clenched the reins tightly with both hands and shouted angrily but feebly:
"The affairs of our great Zhao Dynasty have nothing to do with me, let alone Lord Qin Changan!"
Ying Chengjiao refuted without hesitation: "How can it be irrelevant!"
"In this Qin-Zhao war, countless good men from both countries died on the battlefield, and countless people lost their fathers, lovers, and children!"
"But this war should not have existed."
"It broke out only because the treacherous prime minister of Zhao wanted to steal the country!"
"The deaths of soldiers from our two armies are even more meaningless."
"It only allows the thief who stole the country to hide in Handan City and laugh at him wantonly!"
"The Zhao army and my Qin army are confronting each other here, and the money and food consumed are worthless."
"It just gives the treacherous ministers more time to arbitrarily frame and humiliate the King of Zhao!"
Most of the Qin army did not care who they fought against, but only cared about how much military merit they had won.
But what about the soldiers of the Zhao army? Although Zhao also had a military merit system, it was not strictly enforced. Many soldiers could not get corresponding rewards even if they fought bravely.
The reason why a large number of Zhao army soldiers fought to the death was because of the deep hatred between Qin and Zhao and the will to protect their homeland from being invaded by Qin!
But now Ying Chengjiao told them that this war would not actually break out, and they were just clowns played by Guo Kai?
Ying Chengjiao said solemnly: "Therefore, I propose it."
"The Qin and Zhao armies, stop fighting!"
Li Mu was quite tempted.
Li Mu also wanted to return to Handan as soon as possible, question Guo Kai in the hall, and denounce the Queen of Zhao.
But Li Mu could only shake his head and say: "The most important thing for a country is war and sacrifice."
"Only the king can decide on military affairs!"
"If Qin Chang'an really wants to stop the war, he should send an envoy to Handan to meet my king and lobby him, instead of talking to me."
Ying Chengjiao looked at Li Mu sincerely and said: "My Great Qin has already sent envoys to Zhao to lobby."
"And now, I am lobbying Zhao Wu'an to make a truce with my Great Qin first!"
"Please ask Zhao Wu'an to open a convenient road for our army to enter the Du Kang area of Yan from Dai County."
"For this, I can give Zhao the art of treating feces with gold juice, and a hundred miles of territory as a gift!"
Li Mu instantly captured the key in Ying Chengjiao's words: "Is Qin Chang'an interested in attacking Yan?"
"Will Yan break the alliance again?"
What a coincidence.
You Qin was also stabbed in the back by Yan?
Ying Chengjiao nodded calmly: "Yes, if Yan had not broken the alliance, I would have been surprised."
"Now my Great Qin has been broken by Yan, and Zhao was also broken by Yan in the past."
"In the past, Zhao could not bear this anger and almost destroyed Yan. Now I can't bear this anger either!"
"So I intend to use Dai County to attack Yan."
"Please help me, Lord Zhao Wuan."
"I will remember this favor in my heart and I am willing to defeat an enemy for Lord Zhao Wuan to repay him."
"If I have to fight with Lord Zhao Wuan again, I am willing to retreat three steps to repay him!"
Ying Chengjiao's words can be said to be straightforward.
Ying Chengjiao almost told Li Mu that if Li Mu was willing to use the road, Ying Chengjiao would lead his troops to help Li Mu destroy Guo Kai!
If Li Mu's ancestor Li Dui was here, Li Dui would immediately dismiss his subordinates and plan with Ying Chengjiao to first break Handan, then purge the emperor's side, and then attack Yan.
Guo Kai would have to fight against Li Mu, Wang Jian, Ying Chengjiao, a small part of Zhao, and the entire Qin State on his own!
But unfortunately, Li Mu is just Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't hear Ying Chengjiao's hint at all, but just showed sarcasm: "Yan Shu, a rat."
"Playing both sides is what the King of Yan is good at!"
"Qin Chang'an Jun is willing to pay such a price to avenge Yan's betrayal."
"He is really a gentleman!"
Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands and asked with a smile: "Thank you Zhao Wu'an Jun for your praise."
"I just don't know if Zhao Wu'an Jun can do me a favor?"
Li Mu shook his head helplessly: "I respect and admire Qin Chang'an Jun's move!"
"Of course, this is a major national event, which is beyond the power of this general to decide."
"Qin Chang'an Jun should send envoys to lobby my king, and my king should make the final decision!"
The smile on Ying Chengjiao's face slowly faded: "No room for negotiation?"
If the envoy can make Guo Kai willing to stop the war, why should Ying Chengjiao go to war!
Li Mu's words obviously rejected Ying Chengjiao's proposal.
Li Mu said seriously: "I respect the loyalty of Qin Chang'an Jun."
"Yes."
"No room for negotiation!"
Ying Chengjiao sighed softly and bowed: "Since Zhao Wu'an Jun is unwilling to give the two armies peace."
"Then you and I can only meet on the battlefield!"
"Goodbye!"
Tightening the reins, Ying Chengjiao turned back.
The casualties of the war and the pressure from Li Mu made Ying Chengjiao stay calm after learning that Ying Zheng was attacked. He hoped to achieve revenge on Yan State at the lowest possible cost through his lobbying.
It's a pity that Li Mu's wooden head is really hard to lobby.
In this case, there is only one choice left for Ying Chengjiao.
Before returning to the battle, the murderous intent and coldness in Ying Chengjiao's eyes were no longer suppressed, and he shouted sternly:
"Beat the drum!"
"March!"
