He assumed command of Zhao ' s overall security situation after the death of Zhao She and the exile of Lian Po , both renowned former generals of Zhao . He began his career on the northern frontier fighting the Xiongnu . He adopted an extremely defensive strategy , was accused of cowardice and replaced by a more aggressive general who was defeated every time he attacked the Xiongnu . Li Mu was recalled and given a much larger army . He concealed his troops and played the coward . When a large force crossed the border , Li Mu surrounded it and smashed it . He then went on to defeat the Tan Lan , Lin Hu and Donghu . It was said that the Xiongnu did not dare approach the border for the next twenty years . Later , as the threat from Qin increased with the ascension of Qin Shi Huang , he turned his focus more to the western parts of Zhao . The State of Zhao was merely a shadow of its former self . After suffering utter defeat from Qin during the Battle of Changping , which Zhao lost virtually its entire army , most of Zhao core territories had fallen to Qin . Furthermore , Zhao was diplomatically isolated as the Kingdoms of Wei , Yan and Han was too weak to offer any kind of support , while Qi and Chu were more willing to see the kingdom extinguished than face the powerful Qin . However , Li Mu could still hold out against the much stronger Qin forces . So while Qin could raid Wei and Han at will , they had a much harder time pillaging in Zhao . Getting rid of Li Mu became a necessity for Qin to conquer Zhao and unify China . Qin sent spies to the Zhao court , bribing key courtiers in order to persuade the King of Zhao that Li Mu was planning to revolt . The plan succeeded - Li Mu was arrested and soon executed on the king ' s orders . According the Sima Qian ( chapter 102 ) this happened when King Qian , ' whose mother was a dancing girl ' , came to the throne . With Li Mu ' s death , the fall of Zhao became inevitable . In about 10 years King Dai would fall and the State of Zhao would fade into history .
