Chapter 304: The Death of Li Mu [Two in One](2/2)
"What should I do..."
After hesitating for a long time, Wei General Shaohu remembered Bei Gongyu's order to "stand still". After some hesitation, he immediately sent people to Juyong Pass and ordered the Wei soldiers stationed at Juyong Pass to abandon the pass and let Li Mu
The army passed through the border - because as Bei Gongyu said, there is no way to stop Li Mu's 200,000 troops anyway. There is no need to let Wei Wujun die in vain here, just ask Jicheng to deal with Li Mu on its own.
Wei general Shao Hu's release of water allowed Li Mu's army to pass Juyong Pass without any bloodshed and approach Changping.
After learning the news, the prime minister opened his eyes and sighed sadly with Han Kui, the governor of Suzhou: General Li Mu, who was both brave and brave, finally chose a road of no return.
By now, the news about Li Mu could no longer be concealed. Even Han Yi, the puppet monarch of South Korea, also learned about the matter.
It has to be said that Han Yi, the current monarch of South Korea, although he is a puppet monarch supported by the Wei people, this does not mean that he has no power, because people like Zhang Qigong, Bei Gongyu and other Wei people need to use his name to slowly make South Korea
Gradually merged into the Wei State, and this was what he relied on.
In private, Han Yi had already received Zhang Qigong's promise, and learned that the Wei Congress would grant him the position of a county king in the future, allowing him to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth - if he could satisfy the monarch's addiction at the moment, he could also become a canonized king of Wei in the future.
As the king of the county, what reason did Han Yi have to resist Wei?
What's more, as far as he knew, the Yanmen guard Li Mu kept claiming that he was a "hypocrite".
There’s no need to think about it at all!
As a result, Han Yi rarely acted like a monarch and sent someone to issue a royal order, ordering Li Mu to disband his army and go to Jicheng alone to investigate.
However, what made Han Yi furious was that Li Mujun did not take his royal orders seriously at all, so much so that he issued several royal orders in succession, but Li Mujun had no intention of disbanding.
Out of anger, Han Yi summoned Kai Di and Han Kui to him and ordered them to find a way to eradicate Li Mu as soon as possible.
At this time, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu also learned about this and were greatly surprised. Even they did not expect that this Li Mu was so ignorant.
On that day, Zhang Qigong proposed a vicious plan to King Han Yi: Although Jicheng could not control Li Mu's behavior, the people in South Korea could stop Li Mu.
He suggested that the King of Han should issue an edict to instigate the Koreans to denounce Li Mu, and completely brand Li Mu as a conspirator who "disrespected the king's order", "plotted evil", and "wanted to provoke the Wei-Korean war again."
King Yi of Han was very happy when he heard this and immediately issued an edict according to Zhang Qigong's suggestion.
In just half a day, the Koreans in Jicheng City learned about this matter. Under the inducement of the imperial court, these Koreans showed extreme indignation towards Li Mu, the guardian of Yanmen, who was once the head of the ten tycoons of Beiyuan: It is obvious that Wei Guo
You have stopped the war with our country and promised to help our country recover its economy. Why do you, Li Mu, provoke a war between Wei and South Korea? Or even openly slander a wise king like Han Yi?
In this matter, the nobles and aristocratic families in South Korea also stood on the side of the Jicheng court, or in other words, on the side of the Wei State, and jointly boycotted Yanmen Guardian Li Mu.
Perhaps these people generally feel that this country has no hope, so they do not want to cause another war between Wei and South Korea because of Li Mu, which will cause losses to their interests.
A few days later, as the news gradually spread, more and more people began to resist Li Mu: the nobles and aristocratic families wanted to protect their interests; while the civilian class hated war and did not want to fight with the Wei state again.
Start a war.
The majestic Yanmen Shou Li Mu, the leader of the ten tycoons of the North Plains and one of the most famous generals in Korea, seemed to have suddenly become the sinner pointed out by thousands of people.
Even in the end, deserters appeared one after another among the nearly 200,000 troops recruited by Li Mu.
During this period, when Li Mu's younger brother Li Ren caught several deserters and asked them why they were escaping, the deserters plausibly said: "We followed General Li Mu because General Li Mu said he wanted to save this country."
country, and now, the compatriots in the country have united to boycott our army, doesn’t this mean that it was General Li Mu who was at fault? Forgive us for not being able to follow us any longer!”
Hearing this, Li Ren was furious and wanted to kill the deserters on the spot. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Li Mu who came after hearing the news.
"Maybe it's me, Li Mu, who is wrong..."
Li Mu looked around at the soldiers around him. Seeing that these people had doubts about him because of recent rumors, he sighed with sadness in his heart.
He suddenly remembered what Taiyuan Shou Lecheng once advised him: If you insist on doing it, one day you will become a thorn in the eyes of Wei and South Korea. Even though the world is so big, there is no place for you, Li Mu!
At that time, Li Mu was only angry at Success for defecting to Wei, but now thinking about it, he might have been tricked by Success.
"Anyone who wants to leave, please leave..."
After leaving a sigh, Li Mu returned to his handsome tent.
After returning to the commander's tent, he still couldn't calm down.
He really doesn't understand why no one is willing to accompany him to save this country?
Could it be that since the deaths of Han Wangran and Lihou Han Wu, this country has completely lost its courage and dignity?
Li Mu sat quietly in the tent, recalling in his mind every detail of his contacts with the two generations of monarchs, King Han Qi and King Han Han, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart.
To be honest, King Han cannot be said to be a hero, but he at least managed the country left by his brother Han Wangjian in an orderly manner. And Han Wangran was recognized by Li Mu as a hero. On countless nights, he had served countless
The first time I dreamed that he assisted Han Wangran, making the country become more and more powerful, but the reality is...
"General..."
I don't know how much time passed, but Lieutenant General Yan Feng raised his tent and came in. He looked at Li Mu and hesitated to speak.
As if he guessed Yan Feng's thoughts, Li Mu asked melancholy: "How many people left?"
Yan Feng was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "So far, at least... more than 30,000 people have left."
"In just two or three days, more than 30,000 people... deserted me? According to this calculation, in a few days, the 200,000-strong army will probably be dispersed without a single one left..."
Li Mu shook his head melancholy, and then he laughed, his laughter full of sadness.
Seeing this, Lieutenant General Yan Feng said seriously: "General, at least our Yanmen Army will never abandon the general!"
Li Mu took a deep look at Yan Feng and nodded heavily: "I know."
After saying that, the look in his eyes flashed, and he ordered: "Please step aside first and let me be quiet."
"Yes!" Yan Feng retreated as ordered.
Watching Yan Feng retreat from the tent, Li Mu was silent for a moment, and then turned his attention to the sword placed on the table.
After looking at it for a moment, he stood up, walked outside the tent, and told the guard outside the tent: "Go get a pot of wine."
Hearing this, the guards outside the tent looked at each other.
After all, although Li Mu was not a teetotaler, he rarely drank alcohol, especially in the military camp. This was simply unprecedented.
But since the general gave the order, the guard outside the tent still obeyed and fetched a jug of wine.
Later, in the deserted handsome tent, Li Mu poured wine alone and silently, and then drank all the wine in the glass silently.
"Ahem... I still can't get used to drinking, haha."
After choking on his drink, Li Mu shook his head mockingly, then took out the sword on the desk and wiped it carefully with a rag.
"I am too arrogant, trying to save this country..."
Putting the sharp sword across his neck, Li Mu slowly closed his eyes, and the looks of the two monarchs Han Wangqi and Han Wangran appeared in his mind.
"...Li Mu is incompetent and unable to save this country. He is ashamed of his late king."
"laugh--"
The sharp sword cut his throat, and blood burst out in an instant.
Perhaps they heard the noise outside the tent. The guards outside the tent raised their tents to peek. They were horrified to see that Li Mu had committed suicide inside the tent. They were shocked and turned pale. They quickly reported to Major General Li Yao, Deputy General Yan Feng and Li Mu's clan. My brother Li Ren and others reported it.
A moment later, when Li Yao, Yan Feng, and Li Ren arrived, they saw that Li Mu had already lost his breath.
"A coward has ruined the country...after Lihou Hanwu, there will be no more men in the court!"
Li Mu's eldest son Li Yao cursed angrily, pulled out the sword from his waist, and said seriously: "My father and son would rather die for the ministers of Han than live for the ministers of Wei!"
Having said that, Li Yao also committed suicide by cutting his neck.
"Major General!"
Yan Feng and Li Ren were shocked and stepped forward subconsciously, but after hearing Li Yao's words, they stopped for some unknown reason.
After looking at each other, Yan Feng and Li Ren also drew their swords and killed themselves.
On that day, after learning that Li Mu had committed suicide, about 30% of Yanmen's soldiers committed suicide and died for Li Mu.
Even when the Jicheng court learned of this incident later, they were greatly shocked.
On the second day of June in the third year of Wei Zhaowu, Li Mu, the gatekeeper of Yanmen, could not withstand the suspicion and denunciation of all classes in Korea. When the royal family, nobles, noble families, common people and other class forces did not approve of his behavior, he felt sad and decided to He committed suicide in the military camp.
This famous general who was so loyal to South Korea finally died in despair with no one to support him. It is really sad.
Li Mu's death means that South Korea has truly fallen.
