introduction
"Li Mu still can't beat it?" Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the front-line battle report thrown on the table, and frowned. "There is no way to return to the king. Ying Zheng grabbed the battle report on the table and threw it out, and the soldiers who passed the message did not dare to come out.
"Obviously, no, let's make some small moves. The strategist waiting on the side had already understood what his master meant.
There are not many times when Ying Zheng can make it difficult, and even fewer times when he is stumped by enemy generals, but there seems to be a law: Ying Zheng can never bully Zhao Guo easily.
Two of the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States" were "die-hard fans" of the Qin State, and the other two were from the Zhao State, Yingzheng's sworn enemy.
(Lee Maki Picture Book)
Zhao's generals don't seem to be good at attacking, but they are never afraid of defense. There is Lian Po in the front, and Li Mu in the back, who is Li Mu who makes Yingzheng anxious?
First, a husband should be a pass
Everyone in the world knows that Li Xinbai started and talked about the famous battles of the Warring States Period, and the victory of the Qin State is always on the first page of the history book. But there is no eternal victorious general in the world, and naturally there is no long-lasting country. Qin's constant victory did not last long, and there was one person who "made great contributions" - the famous general of Zhao State: Li Mu.

Li Mu, Zhao Guobairen, is the descendant of today's Xingtai, Hebei, which has been a place of heroes since ancient times. Li Mu was not only a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, but also a famous military strategist. Of course, here we still have to say a few more words to add, why is it a famous general and a military strategist at the same time.
Generals, leading soldiers to fight and charge into battle, excellent generals are always brothers who can convince the soldiers. But military strategists are different, sitting in a large camp, strategizing can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, not only can lead troops to fight, but also command thousands of troops, this is the difference.

Like everyone, Li Mu is not a military strategist who has been chosen by birth since he was born, and he can strategize because he has been fighting in the field for many years to get to this point. And he is also known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States" with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Lian Po, and he can share the same title with these three, and his strength can be imagined.
Second, a husband will open
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Mu was the most outstanding general of the six eastern countries in the last years of the Warring States Period, and he experienced hundreds of large and small battles in his life, and he did not taste defeat, the most famous of which was every battle against the Xiongnu and the fat battle against the Qin army.
(Four Famous Players)
At the beginning of his career, Li Mu was stationed in Yanmen County for a long time, and his main business was to prevent harassment by the Xiongnu. Before Li Mu arrived, there had been no peaceful days in the border areas of Zhao State, today the Xiongnu brought a hundred people to harass a little, and tomorrow they brought five hundred people to come over and plunder.
The heart is bitter, the people of Zhao are bitter, but since General Li came, everything has changed, and the Zhao army that used to be bullied casually has no way now. It's not that Li Mu can lead people to fight, the method is very simple: Li Mu only defends and does not attack.

In the face of the provocation of the Xiongnu, Li Mu was not in a hurry to deal with it, and when the Xiongnu were exhausted, the city gate was opened and the counterattack began, so that the border of Zhao State was peaceful.
3. Offensive and defensive ways
Of course, when it comes to a thousand ways and ten thousand, Li Mu's most powerful thing is not to deal with the Xiongnu, but to never fall behind in the face of the Qin army. What is the level of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and how many film and television works have been filmed a lot, but the ability to destroy the withering and decaying is indeed a certainty.
The unification of the six countries is not a joke, and it is impossible to establish the first unified and centralized state in ancient China with a single mouth. What is Bai Qi, what Li Xin, what Wang Jian ...... Any one of these is enough to make every corner of the Oriental land wait.
is such a luxurious lineup, Qin Wang Yingzheng did not take advantage of Li Mu at all, including the very famous Battle of Fanwu. Ying Zheng originally planned to take Zhao in one go, but Li Mu relied on the south to defend the north and attack, and the Qin army that he fought fled and got a big defeat.
（秦始皇）
Of course, as far as this is concerned, the battle of fat has to be mentioned, after all, this is the highlight moment of Li Mu's career. At the beginning of the fourteenth year of the reign of King Qin, the Qin army entered Handan, and King Zhao was anxious.
King Zhao is also a manager, Zhao Guo is on the edge of Qin State, and he has not seen anything in these years. This time is different, a few years ago, Qin Guogang defeated Zhao Guo in Pingyang, which made Zhao pay a lot of price. Now that the Qin army is approaching Handan, the next step is the national capital, which is clearly to destroy the Zhao State.
After Li Mu received the order, he rushed back with his own men and horses, the border defense is a big matter, but the destruction of the country is even greater. After Li Mu understood the current situation, he still planned as usual: to confront each other first. The generals of the Qin army have dealt with Li Mu for so many years, and they understand too well what the plan of the Zhao army is.
(Ancient Conflict)
"Fight quickly!" the general of the Qin army, Huan Qi, gave an order. Huan Qi is also a very famous and capable general in the Qin State, but it is almost meaningless than Wang Qian. He led the main force and prepared to stage a "siege of Wei to save Zhao": if the main force went to attack the fertile land of Zhao, then the Zhao army must be rescued, and Huan Qi, who was good at sports warfare, could successfully win this battle.
Huan Qi calculated clearly, and Li Mu also saw it clearly: If you want to "seduce" me, there must be no one in the camp, they all think that I am going to fertilize the land, so there must be no defense. So the military flag in the camp of the Qin army was changed, the baggage was captured, and the defenders were captured. In fact, Huan Qi is also quite powerful, but after all, he can't be ranked among the "four famous generals".
The matter is not over yet, Li Mu has already set up an ambush on the way back to Huan Qi's defense, and the soldiers have set up a pocket in three ways. Huan Qi knew that Li Mu was good at defense, but he didn't expect his brain to be so active at a critical time, so he covered his head and went in. The Qin State is like this, there is no way to take the Zhao State with Li Mu.

After waiting for another three years, in 229 BC, Yingzheng really didn't want to wait for Li Mu to die, he couldn't afford it, so he would fight!
No, it's not called a bad move, it's called: soldier-no-hate-cheat. The villain who harmed Lian Po back then was called Guo Kai, and now this Guo Kai is still by King Zhao's side.
A villain, a villain, the subconscious thoughts are difficult to change. So Yingzheng's people took down Guo Kai without much effort, and Guo Kai took down King Zhao without much effort. Li Mu was framed by design, and finally moved his head. Then, it took only three months for Wang Jian to take the state of Zhao.

Li Mu is not good at attacking, but Li Mu's defensive ability and strategy and tactics are enough to support him to become a first-class general in the Warring States Period, and eventually become a famous military strategist. By the way, about Li Mu's death, descendants said this: "Zhao self-destroyed the Great Wall. "By the way, the Great Wall was first built by the Zhao Kingdom.
Shepherds die, walls fall, and the country scatters.
