The great emperor of crossing

Zhao Qian was helpless, and he didn't expect that he could only rely on himself now.

"Your Majesty, since the state of Qi is like this, now we can only prepare the army for war, 13 years old, hey! In fact, I don't want these children to join the Zhao army so early!"

Li Mu was still a little uncomfortable, if it wasn't because he was forced to do nothing by Youyun Kingdom, he didn't want such a thing to happen at all.

However, at this moment, Zhao Guo didn't know that a disaster was slowly appearing.

In Youyun Kingdom, Liu Bowen has returned, not only broke up the alliance between Qi and Zhao, but also brought back a letter from Qi Wangjian, requesting an alliance!
"Haha! Liu Bowen, awesome man, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again. It seems that you are much better than you imagined, right? So don't call yourself sick anymore. In fact, your talent can be compared with everyone else. It’s just that you have to back down again and again for some reason, this matter really makes the widows unbelievable!”

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm sick, but that I'm recovering from a serious illness. Before that, I've been bedridden. This is the truth!"

Liu Bowen was still explaining that in his opinion, there seemed to be no other way to clear himself of the suspicion.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, when you come back, everything will be as usual. I just hope that you will continue to make ideas like before. Remember, I am not a moody king. We live in harmony all the year round, and we have the powerful Youyun Kingdom today, right? ?So you really don't have to worry about those imaginary things, as long as the widow is here, everything will be fine!"

"promise!"

"Report! Your Majesty, there is a letter from Zhao Guo's spies. The latest news just now is that Zhao Guo lowered the age limit for the army to 13 years old, but the recruitment effect is not good!"

"understood!"

Zhao Lie smiled. He never expected that Zhao Guo would become like this now. It seems that many things are indeed different from what he imagined.

"Your Majesty, now is the best time. If you raise troops, the Zhao Kingdom will definitely be destroyed!"

Zhang Yi once again suggested that such a good time is a good time to attack.

"Don't worry, since the 13-year-old Chinese don't want to join the Zhao army, there is a reason for him, wait! Keep waiting, there must be something here, tell Hu Shi, and pay close attention to it!"

"promise!"

Zhang Yi was helpless again. This was the first time Zhao Lie rejected her suggestion, and now it seemed that her ability was not as good as Zhao Lie's.

Zhao Guo, Li Mu was very anxious in the General's Mansion, at this moment Guo Kai was also invited to his home by Li Mu.

"Hey! Master Guo, I have nothing to do now. You are the prime minister. Think of a way. The Zhao army now has only 60 soldiers, and the number of new soldiers is only [-]. In this way, how can we resist the Youyun army? ah?"

"General, I know you are very anxious now, but you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since you can't recruit people, you should find someone. You have been staying in the capital now, is there anything you can do?"

Guo Kai is very smart, he first thinks of ways to send Li Mu away, and then thinks of ways to fool King Zhao, this is his firmest determination.

"Hey! The prime minister is right, but if I leave, what will Zhao Jun do?"

"You can ask your deputy general Ma Shang to manage it for you. If you don't go and see for yourself, how will you know what the people think?"

"All right!"

Li Mu was also helpless, and actually invited his political opponents to come to the mansion. Obviously, this was a self-destructive move, but he himself has not realized it yet, because it has been a long time since conscription has been disadvantageous, King Zhao will naturally ask If you can't get out of it by then, it's better to get things done now.

Li Mu left Handan and began to see what happened.

In the field at this moment, all he saw was the dry and cracked land and the appalling desolation.

"What's wrong with Zhao Guo? Although farming is not a strong point, it won't become what it is now, right?"

Li Mu was taken aback. Could it be that the current state of Zhao is so weak?

He still didn't want to believe that this was what he saw.

"There must be a way to solve all this, I believe!"

Li Mu absolutely can't bear this kind of thing to happen, but now there is no other way. He is a general, and developing the country is something civil servants and kings should do.

In the fields, weeds regenerated, and it was obvious that this place was slowly becoming unsuitable for living.

"My countrymen, are you planning to leave?"

Li Mu walked into someone's house casually, and saw a teenage child and a woman packing things.

"Ah! The government is here! My lord, please forgive me, I can't do anything about it, our family has no food, nothing at all, really!"

When the fellow saw Li Mu, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Li Mu was stunned, what the hell is going on!

"Bold, dare to..."

Li Mu stopped his subordinates and slowly helped the woman up.

"Don't be nervous, we are not rushing for food, are you already scared by the local government?"

The woman looked at Li Mu in front of her with a dazed expression. Did she meet a good official?
"My lord, I can't help it. It hasn't rained for three consecutive months this year. In previous years, it was the time with the most rain, but this year, it's a drought!"

"Where's your man?"

"He died in the battle of Changping, and the government has not said anything about it until now!"

"No, hasn't the imperial court allocated the pension?"

"Pensions? Your Excellency, you must be a high official? Hey! We haven't seen one at all!"

At this moment, Li Mu was taken aback. He didn't expect that such a Zhao Jun would not be able to get a pension. No wonder it is getting more and more difficult to recruit soldiers. It seems that this is the crux of the matter.

"So you take your son and want to leave here?"

"Yeah, wandering around. There are not many families in our village. Everyone goes out to beg for food. We can only do this. Otherwise, even if we don't starve to death, we will be beaten to death by the county magistrate here. I am Women, they don't care if they think I'm pretty, but if I don't run away this time, I will lose my virginity, so what will my son do in the future!"

Li Mu was speechless. It seems that this is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. It seems that conscription is not enough, but this pair of orphans and widows cannot be ignored.

"Okay, you don't need to wander, how about going back to Handan with me? I am General Li Mu. If you trust me, you can raise your child for me. Maybe you can become a general in the future!"

"Really? Kid, hurry up and kneel down to thank you, sir!"

Li Mu didn't expect that when he came down to take a look this time, what he saw was a very rare drought, and these officials who eat people and don't spit out their bones. It seems that the current state of Zhao really needs to be rectified.
