Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 408, a glass of poisonous wine, Li Mu died

Just after Zhao Wangqian made the arrangements, all the news appeared in front of Ziyou in less than half a cup of tea.

"What should I say about Zhao Wangqian?" Ziyou didn't expect that Zhao Wangqian would be so cooperative.

"It's a pity that King Zhao Mouxiang made various arrangements before his death." Concubine Yan shook her head and said after reading the information.

"This is a good thing for us." Ziyou said with a smile, "Mo Crow is ready to close the net!"

"Yes, sir!" Mo Ya said with his hands in hand and set off for action.

As Mo Ya went out to arrange tasks, all the assassins and spies in Handan were put into operation.Handan, which had just experienced a bloody storm, was about to usher in new killings. When the people walking on the streets saw Lieutenant Wei leading the garrison in action, they expected that something big was going to happen, so they all returned. In his own home, there was no one else on the street except for the guards and soldiers gathered and running around.

At this time, the Wuling cavalry outside Handan City were already ready. Zhang Da took the lead, followed by three thousand Wuling cavalry who were charging towards Handan City.The gates of Handan City, which had just been lifted from martial law, were wide open. When the soldiers guarding the city saw the Wuling cavalry charging towards them, they immediately stood ready.

"Who are you?" shouted the general guarding the gate.

"Wuling Cavalry Captain, Zhang Da, enters the city on the king's order!" Zhang Da did not slow down.

"We have not received news that the Wuling Cavalry has entered the city. Please wait for a moment and let me report to the king!" the gatekeeper general shouted. Of course, the gatekeeper general also knew about Zhao Wangqian's attack on the Wuling Cavalry family and watched. The Wuling Cavalry looked so murderous that they naturally did not dare to let the opponent enter the city, otherwise who could guarantee that the opponent would not react excessively.

But before the gatekeeper general could order the city gate to be closed, the Wuling cavalry took the lead. Several cavalrymen raised their bows and nocked arrows. The sound of several arrows piercing the air was heard, and the helmets of the gatekeeper general and the gatekeepers below were shot out!
"We are all Zhao people. I don't want to do anything to my brothers. Please step out of the way for me if you are wise!" Zhang Da rushed towards the city gate with a spear in his hand.

The soldiers in front still wanted to stop him, but were shot aside by Zhang Da. Zhang Da stopped his attack and did not beat the soldiers to death on the spot. The gatekeeper was already frightened and could not face the charging Wuling Cavalry. He didn't know how to give the order, and the other soldiers guarding the gate were frightened by Zhang Da's sudden attack and were at a loss.

Soon the gatekeeper general reacted and immediately shouted

"We can't let them enter the city! Close the city gate quickly!"

But the order from the gatekeeper general was already too late. The Wuling cavalry led by Zhang Da had already arrived outside the gate of Handan City. The soldiers around wanted to intercept Zhang Da, but they were all rushed away by Zhang Da and several Wuling cavalry. Then three Qianwuling cavalry rushed into Handan City.

There was no one on the empty streets, which was convenient for the Wuling Cavalry to enter the city. Just after the Wuling Cavalry entered the city, they rushed towards the assembled Handan garrison.

Lieutenant Wei looked at the Wuling Cavalry rushing into the city. He was shocked at first, and then realized that the Wuling Cavalry was really rebelling!To be able to become a lieutenant, in addition to wearing the same pants as Guo Kai, he himself also has certain abilities. Looking at the charging Wuling Cavalry, he immediately ordered:
"The Wuling Cavalry followed Li Mu in rebellion. The king ordered us to kill without mercy! Form an array and meet the enemy!"

Although the Handan garrison was also surprised by the rebellion of the Wuling Cavalry, they immediately set up their formations in the face of the orders of Lieutenant Wei and Zhao Wangqian. Although the Handan garrison was not as powerful as the frontier troops like the Wuling Cavalry, they were still among the frontier troops. He was born, and he immediately set up a formation to face the cavalry.

The soldiers in the front row held up their shields, and behind them were the spearmen. The combination of shields and spears blocked the path of the Wuling Cavalry like a hedgehog.As a captain, Zhang Da was very familiar with the battle formations of Zhao's army. When he saw the opponent's defensive formation, he immediately shouted
"Spread out and act on opportunities!"

Immediately, the Wuling Iron Cavalry team was divided into three groups. The middle group led by Zhang Da continued to rush towards the battle formation in front. The soldiers behind him stretched their bows and set arrows. As the Wuling Iron Cavalry, they could suppress the prairie cavalry without relying on their horses. His riding and shooting ability is naturally good. Although it is not as overwhelming as Qin's arrow array, its accuracy is extremely high.

Arrows shot out of the air and hit the battle formation in front like dense raindrops. The Handan guards immediately hid under their shields to defend themselves. The guards without shields fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.Although the Wuling Iron Cavalry were unwilling to take action against their compatriots, they also knew that they were rebelling now, with their families on one side and Paoze on the other, and they could only give up on the latter.

The two separated groups of cavalry headed towards the place where the Wuling Cavalry family members were imprisoned, and towards the prison.Zhang Da, who was left behind, led the Wuling cavalry and ran into the Handan garrison, and started a fierce fight with the Handan garrison.

Ziyou and Mo Ya stood on the roof of the inn, silently watching the battle on the avenue. Ziyou's eyes scanned all around Handan.

At the same time, in the prison in Handan, Li Mu was sitting on the ground with his hands and feet tied with iron chains. There was confusion in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to surrender directly and be arrested. He had already heard what the jailer said about Zhao Wangqian. Let Lieutenant Wei take action against the family members of the Wuling Cavalry.

"Late King, Li Mu has finally repaid your gift!" Li Mu murmured to himself. He knew that when Zhao Wangqian attacked the Wuling Cavalry, his death was coming.

Just when Li Mu was thinking whether he would be given poisoned wine, Bai Ling, or beheaded in public, footsteps sounded outside, and Guo Kai led a team of guards outside Li Mu's prison.

"Wu Anjun, are you okay?" Guo Kai said with a smile while stroking his beard.

Li Mu glanced at the copper plate held by the guards behind Guo Kai, and knew in his heart that he would not be able to escape the fate of a glass of poisonous wine.

"Stop talking nonsense, I will live up to the State of Zhao and the late king in my life. Li Mu's achievements in life are all contributed to by the late king. The late king trusted me and let me sit in Yanmen Pass and be responsible for all the troops in Daijun and Yanmen Pass. He also trusted me. Fight against the Hu people. Li Mu lived up to the entrustment of the late king and defeated the 30 Hu people and the Huns in one battle. Tou Man fled in embarrassment, destroyed the rugs, collected the Hu forests, and built the capital to prevent the grasslands from going south. Fighting in the East against the Yan Kingdom , defeated Yan's [-]-strong army with five thousand cavalry, captured Wu Suifang City, leaped their horses and whipped their whips by the Yishui River, and made Yan bow their heads and surrender!

When Qin attacked Zhao, I fought against Huanjie and defeated the Qin army at Fei. He also attacked thousands of miles of grasslands and defeated several tribes in the grasslands. He was named Lord Wu'an by the king. He held 17 frontier troops and guarded Yanmen Pass. The Xiongnu Hu People and the state of Yan dare not invade.Li Mu deserves the trust of the late king and the State of Zhao. "Li Mu said with a cold snort.

"So what? If you want you to die, you have to die! In the end, the truth won." Guo Kai said disdainfully, "Someone open the cell door!"

"promise!"

The jailer on the side opened the chain, and Guo Kai walked in with his guards. Looking at Li Mu sitting cross-legged on the ground, Guo Kai took out an edict from his arms and said.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu'an, Li Mu, has been favored by the king and has no desire to make progress. He plans to rebel against the former king's son Zhao Jia. I want to give Li Mu a glass of poisonous wine as he has guarded the border for the Zhao Kingdom for many years!"

Guo Kai lifted the white cloth on the copper plate dragged by the guard behind him, revealing a silver wine pot and wine glass.

"If I remember correctly, Zong Zheng and Zhao Yan also drank this glass of wine and left the world in this prison. Now it's Lord Wu An's turn. Did Lord Wu An do it himself, or did he let others do it?" Guo Kai said looking at this cell.

"I won't bother Guo Xiang to take action, I will do it myself!" Li Mu raised his head, stood up and glared at Guo Kai.

Li Mu suddenly stood up, which startled Guo Kai, who quickly took two steps back thinking that Li Mu was going to make a move. "Xiang Guo is still as timid as a mouse, just like when he was so scared by General Pang outside the palace that he almost peed his pants." Li Mu said with a smile.

Hearing Li Mu mention his embarrassment, Guo Kai's face turned ugly, his eyes filled with anger, and he shouted to the guards on the side.
"Go and fill it up for Mr. Wu An."

"promise!"

The guard behind him picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine. Looking at Li Mu, who was dressed in prison uniform, with messy hair, but no loss of momentum, he stepped forward and saluted with shame and apology in his eyes.
"Wu Anjun, please use it!"

"Thank you!" Li Mu said as he took the wine glass.

Under Guo Kai's gaze, Li Mu drank all the poisonous wine in the wine glass, then threw the wine glass aside and said

"Late King, Li Mu has paid off!"

As Li Mu's expression changed, he fell straight down.Guo Kai motioned to the guard on the side to come forward for inspection. The guard stepped forward and touched Li Mu's wrist, then stretched out his hand to test Li Mu's breath, and shook his head at Guo Kai.

Only then did Guo Kai step forward to check in person, and after confirming that Li Mu had no breathing or pulse, he flicked his sleeves and led everyone away.After Guo Kai and others left, two jailers appeared outside the prison. After opening the prison, they took the key to unlock Li Mu's iron chain, and then carried Li Mu out of the prison.

After the two of them took Li Mu out of the prison, the Wuling Iron Cavalry who was responsible for rescuing Li Mu arrived late. Originally, they wanted to storm into the prison, but the officials guarding the prison had long heard the news of the Wuling Iron Cavalry's rebellion and closed the door tightly. , and said that Guo Kai had killed Li Mu, the Wuling Cavalry immediately became furious and wanted to rush into the prison, but the prison door had been closed long ago, and they could not break through and had to leave.

Ziyou glanced around, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. He took out the Zhanlu in his hand and flew towards the east of Handan. At this time, in a courtyard to the east of Handan, two men in cloaks suddenly felt a cold feeling in their hearts. Even though he wanted to escape, the next moment two sword energies came through the air.

The two of them did not dare to be careless at all. Just as they were about to pick up the weapons, there was an even more violent and powerful sword energy. The violent sword energy immediately submerged the two of them. The house below also collapsed, and the two cloaked men They passed out in the ruins of the house. They probably didn't expect that they couldn't even block Ziyou's move.

Ziyou fell into the ruins of the house and looked at the two unconscious people inside. Their cloaks were already in tatters.

"Bring them two back!" Ziyou said.

As soon as Ziyou finished speaking, several figures appeared beside Ziyou. Several snare killers lifted up the unconscious two people and left directly. Ziyou glanced around and found that there was no one else and followed him.

At the same time, the Wuling Cavalry on the other side had rescued their family members, but they rescued less than three-tenths of the people.After listening to the survivors' stories, the Wuling cavalry rushed towards the palace with blood-red eyes, but was stopped by the survivors.

"Now is not the time for revenge. Zhao Qian ignored our Wuling cavalry and guarded Zhao for generations and let Lieutenant Wei massacre our relatives. We want to avenge this, but not now. Now we have to protect the survivors and leave Handan. , once Zhao Wangqian closes the city gate, we won’t be able to leave!”

The Wuling cavalry glanced at the direction of Zhao Wang's palace and led the remaining people out of the city.

When Lieutenant Wei gathered the Handan garrison and prepared to surround and kill the Wuling Cavalry, Zhao Wangqian ordered his servants to take more than 100 palace guards to the place where the Wuling Cavalry family members were and began a killing spree.Fortunately, many of these family members had military backgrounds and had to fight tooth and nail to wait until the Wuling Cavalry arrived. Otherwise, all their family members might have died at the hands of Zhao Wangqian.

The battle between Zhang Da and the guards came to an end. After all, there were a large number of guards in the city. The Wuling cavalry relied on their strong combat power to hold back these people, but the forbidden area inside the palace However, the guards continued to provide support, and the guards even took control of the city gate again and closed the city gate.

While Zhang Da sent people to resist the garrison, he also sent people to seize the city gate. The city gate was the key. Once the city gate was closed, they would be the turtles in the urn in Handan City and could no longer escape.

However, facing the continuous attacks of the imperial guards and garrison, the Wuling Cavalry began to decline, and the city gate was also snatched by the imperial guards.

But fortunately, the Wuling Iron Cavalry who rescued Li Mu and his family came back and attacked the garrison from the rear. This made Zhang Da and others heave a sigh of relief.

"Captain, every ten of our family members were massacred by Zhao Wangqian!" the captain who led the team to rescue the family members cried.

"Okay, okay, okay, Zhao Qian!" Zhang Da said with blood-red eyes. Now Zhang Da and the other living Wuling cavalry only regret that they have few people and cannot rush into the palace to kill Zhao Qian. They use their lives to guard Zhao Guo. However, their families were almost completely slaughtered by the king they were loyal to, which they couldn't bear.

"Captain, what should we do now?" someone asked.

"Brothers, I'm sorry for you. If we can wait for General Sima's reply, we won't be in a dead end!" Zhang Da said while looking at the guards and garrison guards who were constantly surrounding him.

"Captain, we don't blame you, it's King Zhao who is unkind! We will fight them!"

"Yes, we fought with them!"

"Okay, keep your family members in the middle, and come with a group of brothers who are not afraid of death. Follow me and snatch the city gate back. We must send our family members out of the city!" Zhang Da said, raising the spear in his hand.

"it is good!"

Just when Zhang Da and the Wuling cavalry were preparing to fight to the death, dozens of soldiers from the guards occupying the city gate suddenly attacked the surrounding guards. In just a few seconds, they slaughtered the guards occupying the city gate, and the city The door was also left open for them.

"Brothers of Wuling Cavalry, leave quickly!"

Seeing the city gate being opened, Zhang Da and others were stunned for a moment, and then they protected their family members and left.

"Who are you, brother? Why do you want to help us?" Zhang Da said as he retreated.
