Wu'an City is the northern gateway to Handan and an important barrier to Handan. Since the Qin people placed the direction of the attack on Wu'an City and Ge Nie, Zhao State has been particularly dedicated to these two cities. First, it built a tall city wall, then migrated a group of people to strengthen the training of the people here... At this time, Wu'an City had already begun to be vigilant, and General Lian Po led an army of 20,000 people to arrive here.

General Lian Po looked a little irritable.

After entering the city, he immediately met with the local troops, deployed a line of defense, and then entered the city guard house, which became the temporary camp of General Lian Po. He hung a map on the wall and carefully analyzed the enemy's possible attack route. Lian Po was watching, and a scout walked into the camp and paid homage to him. He said: "Wu'an Jun is less than forty miles from Wu'an City... I can't see the specific number, I only know that he has a lot of cavalry, and more than twenty scouts were captured by him."

Lian Po frowned and his expression became even more solemn.

In the past, he resisted Wu'anjun from Qin's State here, but he did not expect that now, he still had to resist Wu'anjun from Zhao's State here...Li Mu, rebelled.

When he heard about Li Mu and Sima Shang leading the frontier knights to kill Handan, Handan was very shocked. Li Mu was in Yunzhong County, Sima Shang was in Yanmen County, Tian Yue was in Dai County, and Lian Po was in Handan County. Li Mu and Sima Shang combined, which was half of the troops of Zhao State. Although these two places were desolate and sparsely populated, the soldiers here had been fighting against the Hu people outside the Frontier for a long time? Li Mu recently trained 100,000 elite troops...

This shocked the government and the people of Handan?    Hurriedly sent Lian Po to resist the enemy.

Lian Po heard the news brought by the scout and thought seriously. He knocked on the wooden case in front of him. After a long time, Lian Po came to his senses. He said, "Prepare a chariot for me." The scout hurriedly nodded? He left.

After a while, Lian Po got on the chariot and then ordered to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

The soldiers were very frightened and hurriedly dissuaded. Because Lian Po was going alone? He did not carry any soldiers? This made the generals who followed him to fight very scared. If Li Mu took the opportunity to kill Lian Po, how should they continue to resist Li Mu? The only 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the city, and the combined forces of Li Mu and Sima Shang could probably gather 150,000 elite troops? Lian Po didn't seem to care much.

"If I die, the two and the three sons will defend Wu'an City? The reinforcements waiting for Tian Yue, most of Li Mu's commands are cavalry. It is not easy to attack the city and capture the village." Lian Po ordered? Then he sat in the military carriage? He rushed out of the city. The soldiers stood on the city wall, watching the military carriage gallop towards the north, while the generals continued to strengthen the city defense.

Lian Po sat in the military carriage, and the warrior beside him cast out the flag of Xinpingjun. Under the military carriage, Xinpingjun's flag fluttered in the wind, making continuous sounds. General Lian Po's driver looked solemn and there was no fear on his face... The thick fog made of dust gradually appeared in the distance, and the clear sound of horse hooves. Lian Po stood up and the military carriage stopped.

From the thick fog, there were a series of knights walking out. These knights rode horses all over the mountains and fields. In almost all directions that Lian Po could see, there were knights rushing towards their own direction. The knights did not charge, but just let the horses take small steps and move slowly. They cast out the flags of Wu Chengjun and Ma Fujun, and the huge flags were also constantly flying and flying.

Lian Po looked at these knights seriously. They were arranged in a very neat manner, with horses walking side by side, unable to see chariots, food, and infantry. These people obviously discovered Lian Po, but this did not slow them down. Many knights and arrows pointed their bows and arrows at Lian Po. The knights on both sides continued to move forward and looked at Lian Po sideways, surrounding him in both directions, while the knights in front of him stopped.

"Swish~~", all the knights pulled their bows and pointed them in Lian Po's direction.

As long as they let go of their hands, Lian Po will die here, and it will be quite ugly.

But Lian Po's face was not afraid. He just looked coldly at the distance, right in front of him, two young men walking side by side were also staring at him. The two were Sima Shang, and the other was Li Mu. Both were wearing military uniforms. Sima Shang's face looked ugly and gritted his teeth. There was even a fierce look in his eyes when he looked at Lian Po. Li Mu was about to calm down.

Li Mu reached out his hand and waved it.

Suddenly, the knights around all put down their bows and arrows and no longer aimed at Lian Po. Li Mu then rode his horse and rushed towards Lian Po. Sima Shang also hurriedly followed, and the two of them rushed to the front of the chariot. Sima Shang stopped the horse and roared loudly: "Are you here to write a letter of war?!" Lian Po just looked at him quietly, with an indescribable sense of gloom in his eyes. Sima Shang was promoted by him, and he had been following him, and was trained by him as his heir.

Now, Sima Shang aimed his dagger at Lian Po.

Lian Po looked at Sima Shang quietly. Sima Shang looked at him for a moment, then put down the short sword in his hand with some helplessness. He turned his head and said, "We are here to avenge Zhao Dan. Please don't stop us." Lian Po then looked at Li Mu. When he saw this, Lian Po was a little surprised. In his heart, Li Mu was still the reckless boy who cried and clamored to go home to see his father.

But now, Li Mu seems to have become a different person.

His body was covered with scars, and even his face was full of interlaced wounds, which were shocking. His eyes were very deep and there was no fluctuation on his face. He bowed his head to Lian Po, and then asked calmly: "I want to know where Ma Fujun is?"

"Ma Fujun has left Zhao State, and he is currently in Qin State. The King of Qin has kidnapped his family and forced him to rush to Qin State."

"But... what I know is not like this. I heard that it was Zhao Dan who wanted to murder Ma Fujun's family. Ma Fujun had no choice but to leave Zhao and rushed to Qin." Li Mu said seriously, slowly pulling out the short sword from his waist. He said: "I once swore to Ma Fujun that I will fight with him for the rest of my life and will never die behind him. I am not in Handan, so that the villain has murdered him and caused him to suffer such a disaster. Someone must pay the price for it."

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to kill Zhao Dan and welcome Ma Fujun back."

"What if the King of Qin is unwilling to let him go?"

"Then I will kill the King of Qin again."

"Hahaha~~", Lian Po laughed loudly. He looked at Li Mu in front of him and said proudly: "How do you think you can accomplish these things?"

Li Mu didn't say anything, he looked around. At that moment, the knights who were afraid of him raised the bows and arrows in their hands and roared: "Kill!!!". The shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky, and the horses immediately neighed. Lian Po's driver was also a little moved at this moment, and a trace of fear finally appeared on his face. Lian Po looked at them, squinted his eyes, and said: "You want to use the Zhao people to kill more Zhao people."

"Do you think this is what Ma Fujun is willing to see?"

Lian Po asked.

Li Mu did not answer.

Lian Po continued, "Shangjun did something wrong. I am even more angry than you. I respect Ma Fujun no less than you. But why did Ma Fujun leave Zhao? If he wants to take revenge, do you still need you to help him? With his order, all the soldiers in Handan will obey his orders and kill into the palace. He just doesn't want to see civil strife or see more people die for him."

"Do you know? When I knew that Shangjun was plotting to kill Ma Fujun, I also wanted to kill him, but I couldn't... Because I am from Zhao, Zhao State suffered a great disaster, and the biggest disaster was Ma Fujun's departure. At this time, what we should do is to protect the people of Zhao State so that they can survive, rather than killing each other, so that they can endure greater disasters."

"Ma Fujun has always loved them."

"Me too."

"I don't allow you to cause chaos in Zhao for revenge. This is my home. I will protect this place with my life. If you insist on revenge... I'm here. Please kill me and wash Handan again to see if Ma Fujun will cheer for your affairs."

The melancholy face suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind. He became entangled and trembled all over. Li Mu shook his head and his face turned pale. He said seriously: "At the time, Yan State attacked Zhao State with an army of 100,000... The elite of Zhao State were all in Shangdang, and the people were extremely desperate. It was Ma Fujun, who led thousands of old and weak people to defeat the Yan people and killed Li Fu..."

"Bai Qi attacked Zhao with the elite Qin State. No one in Zhao State could stop him. He was Ma Fujun... With the belief that he would die, he fought to the death and repelled Bai Qi's attack..."

"I don't understand why such a person is not only not respected, but is forced to leave his hometown..." Li Mu shook his head, looked at Lian Po, and asked seriously: "If there is the next Bai Qi to attack Zhao again, who do you think can resist him?"

"You can." Lian Po looked at the knights around him.

Li Mu laughed, shook his head and said, "No, when I went to see General Le Yi with Ma Fujun, General Le Yi told us not to win too many battles. At that time, I didn't understand General Le Yi's words... Now I understand why he said this. Indeed, he can't win too many battles. Isn't it much better to be a villain like Zheng Anping than fighting bloody battles on the battlefield?"

Lian Po frowned and didn't say anything. Zheng Anping's affairs were indeed what Lian Po minded the most.

Li Mu sighed and looked at Wu'an City in the distance, not knowing what he remembered. Sima Shang, who was beside him, said irritably: "We are not here this time to talk to General Lian Po about these things! I am going to Handan and ask our Shangjun, what kind of crimes Ma Fujun committed..." Lian Po looked at him and said, "Shang, don't be so impatient... I can see that you are just bringing more than 10,000 knights, and you don't carry food."

"It is impossible for more than 10,000 people to break through Handan."

"Haha, this is just a vanguard force. There are still more than 100,000 troops to be mobilized in Yanmen and Yun."

Lian Po didn't say anything anymore, looked at Li Mu and said seriously: "Go back, don't cause trouble. The stability of Zhao State is more important than anything else... The Zhao people have experienced enough suffering. Don't bring disaster to them anymore. Your duty is to protect these people, not to kill them. You can hate Shangjun, but this is your home, and you cannot destroy your hometown because of your resentment."

Li Mu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"Ma Fujun must not want to see such a thing."

Li Mu looked at Sima Shang beside him and said, "You can take them back."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to Handan."

"Then let me stick here..."

"No, you go back. General Lian Po is right. Ma Fujun would not want us to do this."

............

When Li Mu followed Lian Po and came outside Handan City, King Zhao was standing outside the city, waiting for them. When he saw Li Mu in the distance, King Zhao immediately walked forward. Lian Po turned over and dismounted, but Li Mu did not do so. He just looked ahead calmly, without any idea of ​​dismounting. King Zhao walked to Li Mu without anger on his face. He bowed to Li Mu seriously.

"I have mistakenly believed the rumors about the villain, please forgive me."

"I will never make such a mistake again. I will continue to implement the reform of Ma Fujun, so that the people of Zhao can live a better life, and the concept of Ma Fujun can continue in Zhao. This is what Ma Fujun expects and what Zhao people want. I want to worship you as a false image, and you will be responsible for these things..." King Zhao acted very humble and sincerely admitted his mistake to Li Mu.

Li Mu looked into the distance and saw the arable land in the distance, the people who were busy on the arable land. The people lowered their heads and walked numbly in the fields, and ignored the grand occasion here. At the beginning, they were all gathered around and cheering enthusiastically...

Li Mu finally got off the horse, and he looked at King Zhao in front of him.

"I am willing to act as a false figure, but this is not for you, it is for Zhao State, and for Ma Shijun." Li Mu said seriously.

The ministers' expressions changed drastically, but King Zhao was particularly calm. He smiled and said, "I understand. Please help me and wait for the day when Ma Fujun comes back." King Zhao led Li Mu and walked into the city. The ministers followed behind them without saying a word.
