In King Zhao's palace, Zhao Kuo had just stepped off the carriage when he saw three confidant allies who were already waiting for him.

Zhao Kuo nodded to the three of them with a smile, and then took the lead and led the three of them towards the main hall of the palace above.

Li Mu said to Zhao Kuo excitedly: "My lord, this time we are finally going to fight again, you must arrange a position for me as a general."

Li Mu has always been lacking in interest in these political struggles. What he cares about most is fighting. What he wants to do most is to lead thousands of troops to Zhao Guo and Zhao Kuo to expand the territory with the position of chief general. , Enjoying the thrill of victory brought by war.

Looking at Li Mu who was eager to try, Zhao Kuo couldn't help showing a smile, and said to Li Mu: "Don't worry, this time the position of chief general is definitely yours."

For Zhao Kuo, he has been fighting outside all these years.

Although it is true that he has achieved victory after victory, people often tell Zhao Kuo that, as the leader of the entire political faction, it is best not to take risks on the battlefield, he should sit in Handan and command all directions is the right way .

Naturally, Zhao Kuo doesn't care too much about such a point of view, because in Zhao Kuo's view, he will not lose in a war anyway. Since he will not lose, there is naturally no risk. After all, as the main general, Zhao Kuo always has With the protection of thousands of troops, he is not the type to lead the troops to charge in person.

But even so, Zhao Kuo still realized one thing from these persuasive remarks, that is, it is indeed necessary to train a person who can charge forward and command thousands of troops.

After all, it seems to be a matter of time to unify the world now, so with the accelerated pace of unification, Zhao Kuo's process of seizing power will inevitably speed up. Once Zhao Kuo really ascends the throne, he will train a General, it seems a little too late.

From Zhao Kuo's current subordinates and allies, Li Mu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

So Chao Chao also intends to give Li Mu this chance to truly shine his own light, and let the whole world realize that Zhao Kuo is not the only one who can win the battle. General Changsheng.

After getting Zhao Kuo's guarantee, Li Mu was naturally overjoyed and thanked Zhao Kuo again and again.

While talking, the three of them walked into the hall.

Since this hall is located on a high platform, even though it is already spring, there is still some coldness in the hall, even though the sun has shone in, this has not changed.

Zhao Kuo had just entered the hall when he heard a very loud sneeze. He followed the sound and found that the sneeze was from Zhou Shaofen.

Zhao Kuo glanced at the embarrassed Zhou Shaofen, smiled and said to Zhou Shaofen: "Zhou Qing, the weather is still relatively cold now, you have to keep warm."

Although Zhou Shaofen is indeed Zhao Kuo's political opponent, on the surface everyone should have the demeanor of course. After all, they are all adults, not children, and they will shout and kill when they meet. The gangster brawls in [-] are no different.

Zhou Shaofen nodded awkwardly, and smiled at Zhao Kuo: "Thank you Wu Xinjun for your concern, the old man knows it well."

It was at this time that Zhao Wang came in with the eunuch order.

Everyone is quite familiar with the next process. After the ceremony, the monarchs and ministers returned to their seats and sat down.

Zhao Wang quickly said: "The main purpose of calling you here today is to discuss which country we should fight next. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak up."

Although it was said to speak freely, after this sentence was finished, everyone including Zhao Wang immediately looked at Zhao Kuo.

For them, Zhao Kuo's opinion is really crucial, after all, this is a war.

As long as he is not a fool, no one will question Zhao Kuo's authority in military affairs.

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, stood up directly, and walked to the map of the world hanging beside the palace.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of this veteran, the next country we are going to attack should be South Korea."

Zhao Kuo said this answer, and many people present did not have too many surprises on their faces.

Zhao Wang nodded, and said to Zhao Kuo: "South Korea is indeed the weakest country among the remaining four countries, so is this why Wu Xinjun chose South Korea?"

Facing King Zhao's consultation, Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said, "My lord, Mingjian, this is indeed the truth."

South Korea is also the country with the closest relationship with Zhao Guo among the remaining 4 countries, because Zhao Guo of South Korea also came from Jin State.

But for Zhao Guo, who is determined to unify the world, this kind of affection is obviously nothing. After all, no matter how much affection you have, all countries except Zhao Guo will be wiped out.

From a practical point of view, the Qi State in the east now obviously wants Gou'an, while the Chu State and Qin State in the south are relatively large in size, and it is not easy to eat them all in one breath, so if you calculate this way, the most Weak South Korea is undoubtedly a very suitable target.

In addition, South Korea is now the closest country to Handan.

The elimination of South Korea will also help to expand the defense depth of Handan, the capital of Zhao State, so that the troops of other countries will not be able to attack Handan City quickly.

Eliminating South Korea has another advantage, which is to completely cut off the threat of the Weihan Passage, so that Qin and Chu can only be connected through the Wuguan Passage in the southeast, or even the Yangtze River waterway in the south.

In this way, in the future, if Zhao State attacks any of Qin State or Chu State, it only needs to cut off the Wuguan Passage, which can effectively prevent Qin State and Chu State from supporting each other.

Therefore, although South Korea is very small, if South Korea can be wiped out, the military significance to Zhao is still very important.

This is the tragedy of a small country. When a country is very weak, but it happens to be in such a critical position, what it ushers in is absolutely impossible to be peace or tranquility, but the endless expansion of a big country, and war.

Only with a military strength as strong as that of the Zhao State can peace be truly guaranteed. Take the current Zhao State as an example, as long as the Zhao State does not want to fight, other countries will never have the guts to attack the Zhao State.

Listening to Zhao Kuo's analysis, the Zhao Guojun and ministers who were present also nodded again and again, deeply agreeing.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone nodded to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang brothers didn't.

Seeing Zhao Kuo talking eloquently, Zhou Shaofen's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

Although Zhao Kuo is indeed Zhou Shaofen's political enemy, Zhou Shaofen suffered too much loss in the past political struggle involving the harem, and he does not want to continue to challenge Zhao Kuo for the time being.

Since Zhou Shaofen did not speak, it is impossible for any doubts about Zhao Kuo to appear in this hall.

Of course, King Zhao also understood this, so he didn't continue to ask other people's opinions, but nodded happily and said: "Since Mr. Wu Xin said so, then it is determined that South Korea will be the next one to be eliminated. Goal."

Hearing that King Zhao passed the proposal so happily, Zhao Kuo was not used to it all of a sudden.

You know, in the past many years, Zhao Kuo has always needed to quarrel with others, so that he can work very hard to get Zhao Wang to pass his proposal.

Even sometimes because of political struggles, Zhao Kuo's proposal was rejected.

This is the benefit of increased power. Now Zhao Kuo is the dominant family in the political arena. Zhou Shaofen can only restrain Zhao Kuo a little bit. When Zhou Shaofen dare not speak, what King Zhao can do It is only to accept Zhao Kuo's opinion.

Now that is, the opinions between King Zhao and Zhao Kuo are still relatively unified, so on the surface, nothing can be found, but if one day there is a conflict between the two, Zhao Kuo's power will be truly revealed come out.

Zhao Kuo withdrew his thoughts, smiled and said to King Zhao: "Since Your Majesty has agreed with the old minister's opinion, the old minister has the courage to decide on the choice of the chief general by the way.

The veteran recommended General Li Mu as the main general to attack Korea this time, what does the king think? "

Zhao Kuo also noticed that Zhou Shaofen didn't want to speak up, but Zhou Shaofen completely chose to let go of this matter, so Zhao Kuo didn't need to continue to do those polite things, let's just finalize the matter first.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Wang didn't speak immediately, but turned his head to look at Zhou Shaofen first.

This is Zhao Wang's last chance to speak to Zhou Shaofen. If Zhou Shaofen does not speak, then Zhao Wang will pass Zhao Kuo's proposal.

Zhou Shaofen sat there quietly, his eyes did not make contact with Zhao Wang, but looked at the empty table in front of him, as if the table was a character beauty.

After waiting for a while, King Zhao completely understood Zhou Shaofen's thoughts, so he nodded and said, "General Li Mu has made a lot of contributions to our country of Zhao. You recommended him today, Mr. Wu Xin, and I agree with you." of."

Among Zhao Guo's current generals, apart from Zhao Kuo, the oldest one is actually Xu Li, and then Li Mu.

But whether it is Xu Li or Li Mu, both of them are Zhao Kuo's people. Since Zhao Kuo has recommended Li Mu, it means that Xu Li will not compete for this position.

Under such circumstances, King Zhao felt that Li Mu was indeed the best choice right now.

After Li Mu heard Zhao Wang's confirmation, he was overjoyed immediately, stood up quickly, and expressed his gratitude to Zhao Wang.

Finally, King Zhao asked Li Mu another question.

"General Li Mu, how many troops do you think we need to wipe out South Korea this time?"

Li Mu said almost without thinking: "As long as the king can give me 10 soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to destroy South Korea!"

Chapter 965 Li Mu is Happy, Li Si is Depressed

When Li Mu spoke, he was full of confidence.

Because this is indeed from Li Mu's inner thoughts.

Zhao Wang hesitated and said: "One hundred thousand soldiers and horses is enough?"

In King Zhao's view, Zhao State is now a superpower capable of mobilizing more than 50 soldiers and horses, and in many wars in the past, Zhao State also dispatched 20 or more soldiers and horses at every turn.

But Li Mu said that only one hundred thousand is needed?This is probably too little.

Li Mu obviously sensed Zhao Wang's thoughts, but he still said confidently: Please rest assured, as long as Qin, Chu, Qi and other countries do not intervene with troops, I only need [-] troops to destroy South Korea!

A noteworthy detail is that Li Mu has actually not led many troops in wars, mainly because he has never served as a general.

Normally speaking, soldiers and horses with more than 10 people can only be commanded by the Lord himself in the future.

Therefore, under such conditions, Li Mu developed the habit of being good at using a small number of elite troops to launch attacks.

Looking at Li Mu's achievements in many wars, he was often sent by Zhao Kuo to undertake the task of leading elite troops to launch assaults. Over time, he also liked this tactic.

So now Li Mu doesn't need too many soldiers, just [-].

This is his confidence as a famous player!

But frankly speaking, Li Mu's guarantee could not satisfy Zhao Wang, so the next moment, Zhao Wang's eyes immediately turned to Zhao Kuo.

The subtext in Zhao Wang's gaze is also very simple. Li Mu was recommended by you, Zhao Kuo. Now that Li Mu is so confident, you, Zhao Kuo, have to say a few words, right?

If Zhao Kuo said Li Muxing, then Zhao Wang would definitely let Li Mu do it casually; but if Zhao Kuo also thought it was not good, then Zhao Wang felt that Li Mu's self-confidence was out of date.

No way, choose one of Li Mu and Zhao Kuo, Zhao Wang must still trust Zhao Kuo more.

Moreover, King Zhao didn't want any accidents in the battle to destroy Korea this time. What he wanted was the ending of Korea's destruction!

Of course Zhao Kuo immediately understood Zhao Wang's meaning, and felt a little funny in his heart.

But any modern person standing here after more than 2000 years would not be able to doubt Li Mu, my good king.

Frankly speaking, Li Mu's statement was beyond Zhao Kuo's expectation. Zhao Kuo himself did not expect that Li Mu was so confident that he could overthrow South Korea with 10 people.

After Zhao Kuo thought about it, he said, "Your Majesty, I feel that General Li Mu's suggestion is very reasonable.But no one can say whether Qin, Chu, Qi and other countries will send troops to aid South Korea.Therefore, I think that General Li Mu can lead 20 troops to attack South Korea, and at the same time transfer [-] troops to be commanded by General Xu Li, so as to prevent other countries from joining the war.

Zhao Kuo's statement, first of all, respected Li Mu's opinion, and still let Li Mu bring [-] troops to attack his South Korea.

Then, Zhao Kuo also made first-hand preparations, that is, what if Li Mu loses the battle, or falls into the predicament of insufficient troops?At this time, Xu Li's 20 reserve team can come in handy.

In this matter, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wang's goals are actually the same, that is, to ensure the complete demise of South Korea.

Of course Li Mu wanted to exercise, but the unification process was also urgent!

When Zhao Wang heard this, his brows relaxed immediately, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Xin, as expected, you still have a solution, so let's do it according to this plan. What do you think, General?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said: Your Majesty, I don't have any problems.

Although Li Mu doesn't like politics, he is not a fool, and the meaning of this can still be tasted.

Regarding this, Li Mu was actually a little unhappy.

He can understand Zhao Kuo's love for him, but he doesn't think it's necessary.

But Li Mu is also a pure man, he would not say that crying and yelling that others must not help him, that would be boring.

Li Mu's thinking is very simple, that is to use his strength to prove to everyone that I, Li Mu, don't need any help. If I, Li Mu, say that a hundred thousand soldiers can destroy Korea, then I will definitely be able to destroy Korea!

This is Li Mu's self-confidence!

Zhao Kuo admired Li Mu's self-confidence.

Li Mu is indeed Zhao Kuo's subordinate, but this does not mean that Zhao Kuo must make overall arrangements for Li Mu's every move.

Li Mu is a real person, everyone has different ideas, which is very normal.

As long as he can achieve the final victory, Zhao Kuo doesn't care what method he uses to achieve it, let alone how many soldiers and horses he leads to achieve such a victory.

This is the philosophy of leadership.

Since no one had any opinions, the court meeting this time naturally came to an end.

In the carriage leaving King Zhao's Palace, Zhou Shaoliang didn't quite understand, and said to Zhou Shaofen: "Brother, are we just watching Zhao Guo take the credit for the demise of South Korea in the palm of our hands?"

Regarding Zhou Shaoliang's question, Zhou Shaofen was silent for a long time, and then asked a question: Then who do you think we can recommend to compete with Li Mu for the candidate for the chief general?

Regarding this question, Zhou Shaoliang was speechless.

After Lian Po was deposed for the second time, the Zhou brothers had indeed lost the strength to continue to fight against Zhao Kuo in the army.

Zhou Shaofen looked at his younger brother who was speechless for a long time, and said leisurely: You may think that Zhao Kuo is really proud of the spring breeze, but you don't need to be too anxious. Now Wu Xinjun is getting stronger and stronger, and the king is not a fool. Wouldn't he be afraid of Wu Xinjun?

Waiting until then is the real opportunity for the two of us brothers.So what we have to do now is to watch Wu Xinjun quietly, watch him become stronger, and watch him be severely suppressed by the king.

When he is suppressed, we must seize this good opportunity, and then we can completely turn around and call the shots.

After Zhou Shaofen finished speaking, Zhou Shaoliang suddenly realized, and praised: "So that's the case, you still have a way, brother."

Zhou Shaofen shook his head, and said calmly: Actually, this is not a good solution, it's just waiting in desperation.

For Zhou Shaofen, he has already clearly realized the fact that without Zhao Wang's support, the Zhou brothers are not enough for Zhao Kuo to fight, so Zhou Shaofen can only choose not to be patient.

If Zhou Shaoliang continued to fight against Zhao Kuo according to Zhou Shaoliang's idea, the final result could only be that the Zhou brothers were completely wiped out, which was definitely not what Zhou Shaofen wanted to see.

Then wait slowly to see if the light will shine on the Zhou brothers again.

Unlike the decadent atmosphere on the Zhou brothers' side, the atmosphere on Zhao Kuo's side is naturally quite active.

After obtaining the position of chief general for the first time, although Li Mu had a small episode of 1 troops, overall, he was still very happy.
