Li Mu's Historical Story

Li Mu, a famous soldier of Zhao in the Warring States Period, was one of the four famous soldiers in the Warring States Period. He is another outstanding military talent after Zhao Jilian. All his life, he was busy dealing with Qin Jun in the west and Xiongnu in the north, running between the capital and the station. He devoted his whole life to his country, but he was so loyal and patriotic that he should have been sprinkled on the battlefield, but he ended up in his own country, leaving behind the eternal regret that the moon shines on the ditch.

Li Mu is one of the four famous players, and his comprehensive evaluation is very high. Li Mu was born unknown, surnamed Li, and was a famous shepherd. During the Warring States Period, the military strategist of Zhao State, together with Tian Lei, Wang Jian and Lian Po, was called the four famous soldiers of the Warring States Period. He was named Wu Anjun for his outstanding military exploits.

Li Mu was originally just an ordinary general guarding the border. In many wars against Xiongnu, defeating Xiongnu was appreciated by Zhao Wang. Li Mu made two main contributions to Zhao in his life, one was to resist the northern Xiongnu, and the other was to repel the attacks many times. It is no exaggeration to say that without Li Mu, Zhao would have been destroyed by Xiongnu or Qin. Li Mu is a professional soldier and a real star. Li Mu's integrity, life for the country, for the army, for the people, Li Mu attack will take, defend will be solid, rich and secure, showing its ability to run the army. Moreover, he himself has always avoided contact with powerful people, and has really become an upright person.

He spent the first half of his life mainly on how to resist the Huns. At first, as an ordinary general, his reputation in the army was not particularly great. Since he was sent by Zhao Haoqi Mou Xiang to guard the border, his fame suddenly rose.

Ironically, not because of his achievements, but because of his "cowardice". As a matter of fact, Li Mu served as a frontier defense general with good achievements. During his tenure, there was basically no problem in border defense and the loss was not great. But why are they called cowards? Because, he ordered that no matter the people or the soldiers, they were not allowed to kill the Huns. Every time I meet Xiongnu, I run to the city desperately. Over time, everyone thought that Li Mu was afraid of war, so he was called a coward.

In fact, Li Mu's practice only preserved the strength of Zhao, and Li Mu knew that the purpose of Xiongnu's going south was to plunder livestock and population. As long as the Huns were not allowed to succeed, they came from afar and could not cope with Zhao. In addition, the Huns are not good at tackling key problems. Therefore, retreat is the best way to deal with the Huns.

From the strategy of dealing with the Huns, we know that Li Mu is a man with a military mind, and he has great foresight. However, just because Wang Zhao retreated to the capital to avoid the war, the border post was looted by Xiongnu in less than a year, and the people in the border areas suffered great pain. So Li Mu came out again, using the original method. At first, the Huns laughed at him, but later they couldn't laugh.

After several years of operation, it's time for Li Mu to deal a heavy blow to the Huns. Li Mu released a large number of cattle, sheep and soldiers out of the city as bait to lure the Huns. The Xiongnu, who has always been cautious, only sent a small group of troops to inquire about the situation. As a result, when they fought against this group of soldiers, they found that Zhao was easily defeated, so the Huns took it lightly and dispatched all their troops to plunder. As a result, I didn't expect Li Mu's army to hide its strength, which taught the Huns a good lesson. After the war, Huns dared not invade Zhao for more than ten years. This is enough to witness Li Mu's foresight. Li Mu deserves to be a big star.

Nine years of mourning, at this time, Zhao ushered in another strong enemy-Qin. At that time, Qin had invaded Wu Sui of Zhao, killing many soldiers and generals.

The Prince of Zhao only invited Li Mu to come out of the mountain, and Li Mu came out of the mountain as a general, successfully defeating Qin Jun, while Li Mu was named Wu Anjun because of his outstanding military exploits. A few years later, they invaded Zhao again and were repelled by Li Mu. At the same time, it also resisted Wei and Han in the south to save the nation.

Li Mu can be regarded as the first Han general who fought against Xiongnu on a large scale after the rise of Xiongnu. Admittedly, he didn't finally destroy the Huns, but his strategy and tactics towards the Huns were really beautiful. He is not a military master, and he has no theory. Li Mu, born in the army, is all about fighting. Protecting the country and people on this land is his greatest duty and his greatest glory.
