During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao carried out the reform of "riding and shooting" in politics and military affairs, and his military strength was greatly improved. But in the period of King Huiwen of Zhao, the strength of Xiongnu gradually recovered and harassed the border of Zhao, so Zhao sent Li Mu to fight Xiongnu.
Li Mu took effective measures to resist the Huns, greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the army, effectively resisted the invasion of the Huns, and was loved by soldiers. In order to deal with the invasion of Xiongnu, Li Mu chose the strategy of avoiding war and protecting Zhao. Later, he thought that Zhao could resist the Huns, so he let the villagers graze to attract the Huns. When Xiongnu soldiers invaded, Zhao pretended to be defeated. The Xiongnu leader thought that Zhao had escaped and entered the land of Zhao. As a result, surrounded by Zhao, the Huns fled. For more than ten years, Huns dared not approach Zhao.
In the third year, people were sent to attack Zhao. Zhao's generals failed, so he sent Li Mu to attack Qin Jun. Li Mu's army was defeated in Ian and was wiped out. In this war, the State of Qin was hit hard, and Li Mu was named "Wu Anjun".
Li Mu bribed Zhao's courtier Guo Kai to spread the story in front of Zhao.
Zhaorang Li Mu
The sentence "Wang Zhao asks Li Mu" comes from the classical Chinese saying "Li Mu guards the border", which means that Wang Zhao blames Li Mu. So, why did the prince of Zhao blame Li Mu? Did Li Mu do something wrong? Then let's find the answer from the whole classical Chinese of Li Mu Garrison.
The classical Chinese Li Mu Garrison tells the story of Li Mu's fight against Xiongnu. The whole article is as follows.
Li Mu, the general of Zhao Beijing, has been stationed in Yanmen and other places for a long time to defend the Huns. He set up officials according to actual needs, and all the taxes in the city were handed over to the government of Li Mu as the funds for the army. Every day, he slaughtered a few cows for soldiers, taught them to ride horses and shoot arrows, guarded the beacon tower carefully, sent people to spy on the enemy and treat the soldiers well. It also stipulates: "If Huns steal in Zhao area, they should quickly gather people to camp and stick to it. Soldiers who have the courage to capture the enemy alive will be beheaded. "
Every time the Huns entered Zhao Di, the beacon sounded an alarm and immediately retreated to the camp, afraid to come out to fight. In this way, after a few years, there was no loss of people and other materials. But the Huns thought Li Mu was timid, and even the soldiers on the border of Zhao thought their general was timid. Zhao blamed Li Mu, but Li Mu still followed his strategy. Wang was very angry, so he called Li Mu back and asked someone else to take his place.
In the following year, the Huns were invincible. Fighting, fighting and losing, a large number of casualties, border people can not farm normally. Zhao again asked for the appointment of Li Mu. Li Mu stayed indoors, insisting that he was ill. So Zhao forced Li Mu to come out and let him lead the troops. Li Mu said to the prince of Zhao, "Your Majesty must use me. I will do what I did before, so I dare to do what I was ordered to do. " Zhao agreed to his request.
Li Jian
During the Warring States period, heroes came forth in large numbers. The four famous soldiers in the Warring States Period were Wang Jian and Bai Qi of Qin State and Li Mu and Lian Po of Zhao State. Although the four famous players have the same name, in actual combat, few people have really played against each other. For example, in the battle of Changping, Lian Po, the stunt of Zhao, was replaced by Zhao Kuo, and the leader of Qin was also changed, but they all passed each other in a duel, so there was no chance for debate.
However, there is an unusual confrontation between Li Mu and Wang Jian. Let's see what co is.
These two celebrities are lucky stars in their respective countries. First of all, Wang Jian was the pillar of Qin Jun after Tian Lei's death. Later, Qin destroyed six countries, and most of the territory was shot down by Wang Jian. Li Mu, the most important figure in tarquin's resistance to Zhao's Northern Expedition, was the best cavalry general among the Seven Heroes in the Warring States and the most difficult figure in Qin's resistance to Zhao. In the Battle of Qin and Zhao, he saved the security of Zhao, defeated the army of Qin and wiped out hundreds of thousands of people in Qin Jun, which was the most disastrous battle of Qin during the Warring States Period. Li Mu is the main stumbling block to the unification of Qin State.
In 229 BC, an earthquake occurred in Zhao, and it was planned to attack Zhao again. This time, the king of Qin called Wang Jian, and the two famous soldiers finally got the chance of World War I. At that time, although the Zhao people were divided and suffered heavy losses, Li Mu's policy of defending the north made the two sides evenly matched.
While Li Mu was fighting bloody battles, Wang Jian came up with an idea, that is, he used double spies to make the prince of Zhao distrust Li Mu, and then killed Li Mu by the hand of the prince of Zhao. Wang Jian sent spies to spread rumors and buy off Zhao Tong's minions. Stupid Wang Zhao listened to the traitor and secretly executed the general. Finally, Zhao was completely annihilated and perished.
Li Mu's death.
In seven years, due to years of wars and earthquakes, Zhao suffered a large-scale famine, and his national strength was in a weak stage. At this time, Ying Zheng, king of Qin, decided to attack Zhao again. The king of Qin ordered Wang Jian to lead an army to General Jingxing to join forces with Yang Rui and Zhao.
Zhao still appointed Li Mu as a general, trying to resist the invasion. Wang Jian, the general of Qin State, knew that if Li Mu was not removed, the chances of winning the war were slim, so he told the king of Qin that he offered to cheat Li Mu. So he sent spies into Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and used a large sum of money to buy the minion who framed Lian Po and let him spread rumors in the palace, saying that Li Mu colluded and was ready to betray Zhao. The fatuous prince of Zhao heard that Li Mu was going to rebel, but he didn't verify it. He immediately sent Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu. Li Mu, who always insisted on acting independently, did not obey the orders of the Prince of Zhao for the sake of the country and the people. Seeing this, Zhao decided that Li Mu wanted to rebel and committed treason, so he secretly set a trap to capture Li Mu alive and put him to death. Zhao lost his protection by getting rid of Li Mu. Only three months later, Handan was occupied and Ye Zhao was destroyed.
Li Mu, a famous soldier who galloped on the battlefield, finally died at the hands of the monarch and was killed innocently, which made future generations feel very sorry for his death.
During the Warring States period, generals basically fought against the armies of other vassal States, and some of them were civil wars. But unlike them, Li Mu spent his first half of his life mainly fighting against foreign enemies of his own nation, and created a glorious history in the battle with barbarians. So Li Mu should be respected by others.
