Chapter 62 Planning
"Li Mu was in the border army for a long time, and the soldiers in the army were very close to him. Now Li Mu has a rebellious intention, and it is easy to trigger mutiny when he acts rashly.
Now that communication is inconvenient during the war, Li Mudang is still unknown to Handan. When Zhao Jia fled yesterday, Li Mu's family did not follow him. It can be seen that Li Mu no longer sees the king. Even Gongzi Jia thinks that Li Mu is leading the army outside, so the king dare not touch his family easily.
It would be better to just encourage and reward him, so that the king would no longer hold him accountable for his defeat and to calm Li Mu first, which would also make him feel that Zhao State cannot do without him at all and will never be detrimental to him.
Paralyze Li Mu, prevent him from rushing to jump into the wall, and directly join Gongzi Jia.
Then choose a loyal and brave general, and go to pass on the mission with several heroes. When Li Mu accepts the king's order, he must be at the lowest point of his vigilance, and there will be no soldiers around him. At this time, he can rush forward and take him down while he is unprepared.
Although Li Mu is brave, his fists will never beat four hands, and he will succeed in one fell swoop."
Guo Kai said slowly. "As long as Li Mu is captured, the army will naturally be fine."
In Guo Kai's plan, he had completely regarded Li Mu as a traitor, and all the plans were designed around Li Mu's already rebellious heart.
Now, the State of Zhao can be said to be at the end of its reach. Not only is there no general in the court, but there are also few soldiers left.
Li Mu can be said to be the last stop on Qin's way to destroy Zhao. As long as Li Mu leaves, Zhao may not last long. Even Li Mu, who was respected as the war god in later generations, has a sense of powerlessness in the current situation, but is just forcing him to hold on.
If Li Mu had not been grateful for the favor of the previous kings and tried his best to fight and fight to the east and west to support the shaky country of Zhao, it would be hard to say whether Zhao's existence exists today.
"Guo's plan is very harmonious with the will of the lonely. In this way, Li Mu can accomplish something!"
King Qian of Zhao was obviously very satisfied with Guo Kai's plan.
In his opinion, this is the honest minister who is devoted to the country. He thinks about things clearly and completely considers himself.
"Li Mu is a ruthless man. I would like to seize the mansions of Li Mu and Zhao Jia, and confiscate their wealth and goods to warn the world." Guo Kai said immediately.
Li Mu's son Jia was convicted, and the whole family of Prince Jia's mansion had escaped, but Li Mu still lived in Handan City. Li Mu and Prince Jia were not in the same party, so Prince Jia did not bring Li Mu's relatives when he fled.
It was originally evidence that Li Mu and Gongzi Jia were not involved. In Guo's words, he directly defined this matter as one of the manifestations of Li Mu's self-respecting force. It was because he looked down on you, King Zhao and thought that you, Zhao Qian, did not dare to touch my family, that he dared to stay in Handan.
Because of Li Mu's involvement, although King Zhao never thought of it for a while, his family would inevitably be unable to escape the misfortune in the future. This matter was not about Guo Kai, but in Xu Cheng's message, Ziying asked that Li Mu's family must be kept.
Therefore, Guo Kai spoke directly in advance and asked Ying to search Li Mu and Gongzi Jia's mansion to facilitate his actions.
At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to place some powerful bows and crossbows in the mansions, weapons and armor, and other "banned items" to further confirm the two's rebellion according to the strategy provided by Xu Cheng.
"Are you talking about Guo Xiang, please let Guo Xiang go there!"
"Guo Kai is obeying the king's order. I wonder what to do with Li Mu's family?" Guo Kai asked carefully.
"It's just that the relatives of traitors are killed directly." Zhao Wangqian replied casually without even thinking about it. In his opinion, there was no need to take the life and death of several families into consideration.
When Guo Kai heard this, he immediately let out a long breath and killed him on the spot. At that time, he would just find a few prisoners of similar size from the death row and make his face look like. If King Zhao suddenly rises up and wants to see what Li Mu's family looks like, then Guo Kai will probably find it difficult to protect them.
"No! I'll do it now." Guo Kai said and stepped down.
Who to send to Bairen City to take Li Mu and command the army is a question worth considering for King Zhao of Zhao. After all, this is related to whether his country is stable.
Even Li Mu, who was relied on by him as the pillar of the country, rebelled. This time the candidate must be very cautious and there must be no problems.
In his opinion, the one who is the most loyal and will never betray him is naturally the false prime minister Guo Kai. If it weren't for his mother and son, he would have to use the prestige of Prime Minister Chunpingjun to stabilize the court, he would have long been promoted to the position of prime minister.
However, Guo Kai was a civil official, so it was obviously inappropriate to send Li Mu to capture him.
After thinking about it, Zhao Wangqian focused on Zhao Cong, who also belonged to the Zhao royal family.
Zhao Cong is one of several generals with experience in commanding the army in the Zhao clan. At this critical moment of life and death, Zhao Wangqian felt that it might be more trustworthy for Zhao Cong, who is also a relative of the Zhao clan, to command the army.
Moreover, Zhao Cong worked with Li Mu during the Battle of Yi'an, and he was also familiar with Li Mu.
Even Li Mu, who was regarded as the pillar of the country, rebelled, and the others, King Zhao, did not believe it at all.
He immediately sent someone to bring Zhao Congxuan into the palace and ordered Li Mu to replace him and the details of how to take him down.
The two discussed for a long time, and it was basically a unilateral face-to-face opportunity for Zhao Wangqian to "plagiarize" Guo Kai's plan.
If Zhao Cong finds someone to compare with him, he is very similar to his predecessor Zhao Kuo. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child and thinks he has the talent of being a world-class person. However, he is lucky compared to Zhao Kuo that his first time leading the army was not to lead the army alone, but to be Li Mu's deputy general. Although he proposed many ideas based on the knowledge he learned in his books during the battle, he was not adopted.
After the war, Li Mu was named Wu'an Jun for his merits, and Zhao Cong just gained some qualifications. In his opinion, Li Mu's victory was just a good luck. If he was Zhao Cong, he might do better.
Therefore, when Zhao Cong heard the orders of King Zhao, he was ecstatic. This time, he not only realized his dream of leading the army alone, but also could get rid of Li Mu, who had always blocked his talent.
After praising the plan of King Zhao, he immediately made a bold statement to King Zhao: "The Qin army on the north road will be broken within ten days, and the siege of Handan will be lifted within the month."
Even Zhao Wangqian seemed to be a little fluttering under Zhao Cong's confidence, and even regretted that he had not reused such a talented general earlier.
Zhao Cong, who could not wait to "show his talents" that night, took King Zhao's command of the tiger talisman and the king's order, and ordered a team of soldiers to head north.
At the same time, Guo Kai was not idle either.
As soon as he came out of the palace, he called Xu Cheng and led him to search Li Mu and Gongzi Jia's mansion.
Guo Kai went to search in person, and naturally found a large number of communication evidence and unlawful weapons prepared by Guo Kai in advance.
As for Li Mu's family, they were secretly placed in Guo Kai's mansion after replacing the pillars.
