Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Sitting in front of Wang Jian's couch, Li Mu smiled very gently at Wang Jian who had just woken up: "General Wang Jian, nice to meet you."

Wang Jian blinked his eyes, looked at the peer in front of him who was about the same age as himself, sighed after a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "General Li Mu, nice to meet you."

Li Mu looked at Wang Jian and said, "To be honest, I originally thought that Qin Wang Chu would bring you to Bashu and let you be in charge of the defense of Hanzhong and Bashu. But it seems that he doesn't have such a mind, and he doesn't know people. Ming."

This is really what Li Mu said.

Li Mu is actually a very proud person, there are not many people in this world who can make Li Mu look up to.

This kind of pride and self-confidence was cultivated with Li Mu's victories one after another.

For Li Mu, besides Wang Jian, there is actually no decent opponent in the Qin Kingdom, so Qin Wangchu abandoned Wang Jian, in Li Mu's view, it is really an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall.

This sentence obviously irritated Wang Jian, Wang Jian closed his mouth, and didn't intend to answer.

Li Mu stared at Wang Jian for a while, then suddenly said: "General Wang, since the King of Qin doesn't know talents, why doesn't General Wang change his banner and join our king?"

Wang Jian's body shook, and he looked at Li Mu in surprise: "General Li Mu, are you trying to persuade him to surrender?"

"Exactly." Li Mu nodded very seriously, and said, "General Wang Jian, you are also a rare famous general. Judging from my years of fighting experience, there are actually not many generals on this continent who can be compared to you. In Qin Kingdom, you are actually a pearl covered in dust, why don't you come under my king's command, and you will definitely be reused."

Wang Jian was silent for a moment, then sighed: "I'm already useless now, why should the general bother me so much?"

The meaning of rejection in the words is quite obvious.

Li Mu was unmoved, and continued to persuade patiently: "General Wang Jian, Sun Bin was also punished by Bin in the past, but he rose up later and was able to assist Tian Ji and King Qi Wei to achieve a generation of hegemony. Why should the general give up on himself like this? You and I are good boys, and we came to this world to fulfill our own ambition to rise above the clouds, is it true that the general is willing to sink down like this?"

Li Mu was really moved by his love for talent.

For Li Mu, he felt that Wang Jian was a very good person who could assist him.

Li Mu would actually be more happy to see Wang Jian become his staff and military adviser, playing the role of Sun Bin back then.

Faced with Li Mu's persuasion, Wang Jian seemed a little moved and remained silent.

After a while, Wang Jian suddenly said: "General Li Mu, my family has been reduced to slaves by the king. I don't know where they are now?"

Li Mu had obviously expected Wang Jian's question for a long time, and said with a smile, "General Wang Jian, don't worry, your family members are all in Xianyang now, although they have been frightened, they are all safe."

Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, I have caused them trouble, alas. Thank you General for your help."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "General Wang Jian is being polite."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Wang Jian was lying on the couch, staring blankly at the sky, apparently a little absent-minded.

After a long time, Wang Jian slowly withdrew his gaze, and said to Li Mu very seriously, "I'm sorry, but I can't agree to the general's request."

Li Mu's face moved slightly, looking somewhat disappointed: "Why?"

Wang Jian said slowly: "I am a native of the old Qin, and I am also a great general of the Great Qin. It was my negligence in the first place to save the country from danger. It is really a sinful sin that cannot be redeemed by death. Now the matter is over. So far, Wang Jian has the audacity to live in the world, which is already disrespectful to his subjects, how can he be so brazen as to defect to King Zhao?"

Li Mu opened his mouth, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Wang Jian: "General Li Mu doesn't need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Li Mu was silent for a while, then stood up, and said: "General Wang Jian's family will come later, the general should not be impulsive, you might as well discuss with your family before making a decision."

After saying this, Li Mu walked out.

Wang Jian lay quietly on the couch, quietly looking at the ceiling above his head, but recalled many fragments of the past in his mind.

Once upon a time, Wang Jian was also a member of the great Qin army that swept across the Central Plains.

Once upon a time, Wang Jian firmly believed that he would be able to see the day when Qin would rule the world.

Once upon a time, Wang Jian held on with the hope of the old Qin people, just to wait until the day when the Great Qin Fujitai came.

But now, Wang Jian is very clear in his heart that the era of Daqin has passed forever.

Also never coming back.

Wang Jian's eyes moved slowly, and suddenly landed on the table beside the couch.

There are some pastries and a set of tableware on it.

Wang Jian saw a small copper dagger in the tableware.

Wang Jian tried his best to prop himself up with his hands, then stretched out his hand with some reluctance, and managed to grab the dagger in his hand.

"If you can't prosper with the country, then let's die with the country."

After Wang Jian finished speaking silently, he untied his clothes, grabbed the dagger, and stabbed fiercely in his chest.

The blood fell drop by drop, Wang Jian's body tilted slightly, and then he fell heavily on the ground.

Chapter 977 Southward Strategy (first update)

Wang Jian committed suicide.

Of course, this news reached the ears of Li Mu who had left not long ago.

Li Mu, who returned to the room, looked at Wang Jian's corpse in front of him, and remained silent.

A group of women and children hurried into the room, and the room was filled with crying.

Li Mu walked out of the room silently.

Pang Nuan, who arrived after hearing the news, also had a look of surprise and regret on his face, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity."

As a general who had suffered under Wang Jian, Pang Nuan's regret was very real.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "He is an old Qin man after all."

Pang Nuan nodded and said, "What about his family?"

Li Mu thought for a while, and said: "Judging from Hu Yiwei's information, his sons are not bad. I just went to see him, and there is a boy named Wang Ben who has a tiger head and a tiger brain. I like it very much. The third of us My son is about the same age as Wang Ben, so it would be a great thing to be a playmate."

Pang Nuan said: "It's the boy's blessing to be able to get the professor from the governor. Perhaps the important task of revitalizing the Wang clan will fall on his shoulders in the future."

Li Mu shook his head, and suddenly said: "This city seems to be very restless."

Pang Nuan smiled and said: "After all, this is Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Kingdom. Although many people have already fled, those who stay may not necessarily really want to surrender."

Li Mu thought about it, and felt that what Pang Nuan said was very reasonable.

So Li Mu continued: "I heard that from entering the city to now, our soldiers have been assassinated many times in this city."

Pang Nuan said: "Yes. Although there is no large-scale Qin people's rebellion in Xianyang City at the moment, there are quite a few assassinations quietly, and many of them were succeeded by them."
