Zhang Liang sighed and drank the wine in his hand.

At this moment, how much he wished that he was thinking too much.

Hearing Zhang Liang's analysis, Han Fei was dumbfounded.

He thinks it makes sense.

South Korea's land is not much, and if it is invaded by Chu State, South Korea will not be far from subjugation.

"Who came up with this plan for Xiang Yan? It's really poisonous!"

Han Fei said bitterly.

Just now Han Fei was worried about Zhao Guo, but now he is very worried about South Korea.

......

Zhao State, Handan.

Guo Kai has decided to jump ship.

At dawn, he called his confidant Han Cang over.

The two discussed how to kill Li Mu, and how to control the frontier army after killing Li Mu.

The frontier soldiers are tough and self-sufficient for a long time, and they are not controlled by the DPRK.

Moreover, Li Mu's prestige is very high, so it is really difficult to deal with it.

Once careless, it will cause military disaster.

Also, if the conspiracy is revealed, the Zhao people will also kill Guo Kai.

Therefore, Guo Kai is very cautious.

Han Cang first expressed his thoughts: "My lord, the frontier general Zhao Cong can use it. After Zhao Wangqian came to the throne, Zhao Cong sent someone to show his loyalty to your lord. We let him be the general. He must be very grateful to your lord. Zhao Cong I have been in the frontier army for many years, and I think the frontier army will not be disgusted."

Guo Kai thought about it, and it seemed that there was such a thing.

It's just that Zhao Cong has been at the border for many years, and he is not familiar with Zhao Cong.

Is Zhao Cong really reliable?

Seeing this, Han Cang proposed again:

"You can let Yan Ju be the deputy general and Zhao Cong the main general. With Yan Ju here, you should feel at ease, right?"

Guo Kai thought for a while and nodded.

He asked again: "I heard that Li Mu's martial arts are extremely high, and the Zhenyue sword in his hand is even more powerful. Can he really kill Li Mu?"

Han Cang was not worried, and smiled slightly:

"No matter how strong Li Mu is, he is like a toothless tiger without military power. When we send hundreds of soldiers, how can he escape?"

"it is good!"

Guo Kai finally made a decision.

Han Cang went to secretly contact Yan Ju and Zhao Cong, and Guo Kai went to meet the Queen Mother and Zhao Wangqian.

As long as the queen mother issued an edict to remove Li Mu from his post, Guo Kai would have a way to kill Li Mu.

......

Li Mu led the army to the outside of Handan City, but he didn't know that Guo Kai wanted to kill him.

He did not lead the army into the city, but let the army set up camp on a high hill outside the city.

At the same time, let the soldiers step up digging trenches and building the earth city Jiangang to prepare for Lu Chang'an's arrival.

He will also store the grain brought from the border in preparation for a protracted war.

Li Mu boarded the high hill and looked to the south.

No figure of Lu Chang'an's army was found.

Hearing that Lu Chang'an has been made a marquis by the King of Qin, he must still be celebrating.

Take a look below.

Seeing that the soldiers are in full swing to strengthen the defensive positions, their morale is high, and they feel more at ease for a while.

However, Li Mu was still not at ease, and went to check the defense line himself.

In order to prevent Lu Changan from breaking through, he even designed multiple layers of defense.

A posture of fighting to the death with Lu Changan.

But Zhao Cong was terrified.

He originally thought that the army would enter Handan City, but Li Mu was stationed outside the city.

Just relying on these hills, these trenches, and arrow towers, can they withstand the fierce Qin army?

Zhao Cong couldn't believe it.

It is said that the Qin army would die for the sake of military exploits.

What's more, there is that terrifying Lu Changan?

These trenches and arrow towers were broken by Lu Changan with a flick of his fingers, right?

The more Zhao Cong thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he had no choice but to stay in the camp of the Chinese army and not go out.

At this time, someone sent a letter to him.

When he opened it, it turned out that his friends in Handan City asked him to come to the city to get together, saying that we hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Zhao Cong has been in the frontier army, and it is true that he hasn't returned to Handan for a long time.

He really missed Handan, as well as his parents and relatives at home.

So he told Li Mu that he would go back to Handan to visit his parents.

Li Mu thought it was human nature, so he agreed.

Zhao Cong was very happy and flew back to Handan on horseback.

After returning to Handan, he found out that Han Cang, Zhao Wangqian's favorite minister, wanted to see him.

......

Chapter 197 Sir, can you help me, I haven't won for a long time

After drinking for three rounds, Han Cang told Zhao Cong that Zhao Wangqian wanted Zhao Cong to replace Li Mu as the commander of the frontier army.

For a moment, Zhao Cong was surprised and delighted.

He has been in the frontier army for many years and suffered so much, isn't he just thinking about such a day?

However, Zhao Cong has learned a lot by Li Mu's side all year round.

At least, he is still awake.

He asked Han Cang: "How does Lord Han want to take away Li Mu's military power?"

Han Cang laughed and said, "One edict is enough."

Zhao Cong also laughed, and he explained to Han Cang:

"Master Han has never been to the border, so I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation of the border army."

"Since Li Mu has ruled the border, taxes in the border cities have been distributed freely by Li Mu, and the food, clothing and food of the lieutenant generals and soldiers have all come from Li Mu."

"To put it bluntly, the frontier soldiers and common people only know Li Mu, not King Zhao."

"I'm afraid it won't work with just one imperial edict."

"Besides, Li Mu is not a foolish and loyal person. He has always believed that the generals will not accept the orders of the emperor."

"What's more, Zhao Wangqian just came to power, Li Mu will be convinced?"

Hearing what Zhao Cong said, Han Cang immediately became nervous.

He had discussed it with Guo Kai before, and he also knew that the frontier army was special, so they wooed Zhao Cong.

He thought that Zhao Cong's presence, coupled with the imperial edict, would make Li Mu submit.

At present, it seems that Li Mu is not so easy to win.

Han Cang glanced at Zhao Cong.

"General Zhao Cong, what good strategy do you have?"

Zhao Cong didn't answer, but lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and asked another question instead:

"Lord Han, Lu Changan is about to attack Handan. Without General Li Mu, who can lead the army to fight Lu Changan?"

General Yan Ju stood up.

"Others are afraid of Lu Chang'an, but I, Yan Ju, are not afraid of him. After Li Mu's position is dismissed, I will lead the army in the city, General Zhao Cong will lead the frontier army, and our two armies will fight to the south together. Lu Chang'an only has tens of thousands of people. How can we do that?" Our opponent?"

For a moment, everyone in the room was gearing up, really wanting to go to the battlefield immediately and fight against Lu Changan.

Han Cang also struck while the iron was hot. He took out the "bait" he had prepared earlier and handed Zhao Cong the edict of King Zhao.

Zhao Cong saw that he was named a general.

His heart was surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Han Cang smiled and said, "General Zhao Cong, can you tell me?"

Zhao Cong gulped down the wine in one gulp, forgetting everything for a while.

He said harshly:

"Call Li Mu back to the city and kill him on the way."

......

When Han Cang persuaded Zhao Cong, Guo Kai went to the palace to persuade the Queen Mother and Zhao Wangqian.

"Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, it's not good, Li Mu is about to rebel."

When the queen mother and Zhao Wangqian heard this, they were all frightened.

Especially Zhao Wangqian, who was young, almost cried in fright.

They all knew that Lu Changan led the army and Li Mu was their only reliance.

Now that the only support is gone, how can they not be afraid.

It was better for the queen mother to be more stable, she suppressed the panic in her heart.

"Guo Aiqing, do you have evidence?"

Of course Guo Kai was prepared, he sent a letter from Li Mu and Zhao Jia.

Of course, the letter is fake.

But the queen mother couldn't see it, she looked carefully and found that Li Mu said in the letter that he would support the son Zhao Jia as the king of Zhao.

The Queen Mother was terrified.

Zhao Jia is still being held in the palace dungeon.

Originally, she wanted to kill Zhao Jia, but she was afraid that killing Prince Jia after the first king died would arouse everyone's suspicion, so she didn't kill Zhao Jia.

Now Li Mu wants to support Zhao Jia, what should he do?

Seeing this, Guo Kai added another fire:

"Empress Dowager, the reason why Li Mu didn't dare to enter the city is because of a guilty conscience, fearing that the Empress Dowager will blame him."

"The Empress Dowager can't hesitate anymore. When Li Mu repels Lu Changan and then leads a large army into the city, how can we fight? The soldiers in the city can't resist the fierce frontier army at all."

The queen mother was terrified when she heard what Guo Kai said.

Still, she couldn't make up her mind.

Because, without Li Mu, who can resist Lu Changan?

Isn't that the same as dying?

Anyway, Zhao Jia is still in the dungeon, Li Mu can't support Zhao Jia unless he attacks the palace.
