Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 431

Li Mu snorted, licked his chapped lips, and wanted to spit out a little, but found that he couldn't spit it out.

This discovery made Li Mu a little disappointed, his legs clamped around the horse's belly couldn't help but tighten a bit, and he said after a while: "Forget it, anyway, South Korea doesn't dare to do anything to us."

Xu Li shook his head, and said with some concern: "General, this South Korea was originally an ally of our country Zhao, but our attitude has been ambiguous since the war. Now that our army has penetrated into South Korea, if the South Koreans suddenly follow Wei Guoxing's rebellious behavior, I'm afraid it will happen."

In fact, these words have been buried in Xu Li's heart for a long time.

In Xu Li's view, the current marching route is somewhat unscientific.

After the defeat of Wangcheng, the Qin army voluntarily gave up Hangu Pass and retreated to Yinjin, thus allowing Li Mu's troops to go eastward through the Weihan Passage in a fair manner.

However, the Weihan passage is dangerous after all, and it may be ambushed at any time. If the Qin people really set up an ambush in it, the more than 1 elite cavalry of the Zhao army will be wiped out.

Just because of this matter, Xu Li was in fear for several days. Every day when he was camping, he couldn't sleep. He had to patrol around the camp three times before he could fall asleep.

Now that he finally entered South Korea, Xu Li's heart is not only full of joy, but even more worried.

It has been a tradition for hundreds of years that the three Jins fell in love with each other and killed each other.

Although it is said that everyone comes from the same source, when cooperating, it must be more tacit than when cooperating with other countries, but the three Jins are not merciless in tearing down each other.

In fact, the reason why Qin has been able to rise rapidly over the years is also related to the lack of consistency among the three Jins.

Most of the time, either Qin was singled out against Han and Wei, or Qin and Han were against Wei and Zhao. Basically, there was no time when the three Jins were unanimous against Qin.

Otherwise, Qin would not extend its minions to the east step by step, until it really reached its peak before the Battle of Changping.

So Xu Li felt from the bottom of his heart that Koreans were unreliable!

After hearing Xu Li's words, Li Mu waved his hands disapprovingly, and said, "General Xu is too worried. If it was before the battle of Wangcheng, I might still be worried about the betrayal of the Koreans, but now, hum, Qin has already lost. , Handan is hard to conquer, I don't believe that South Korea will be so ignorant of current affairs!"

Xu Li was still waiting for further persuasion, but Li Mu suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "This is what the general and the king mean. The general does not need to say too much, so as not to affect the morale of the army. And the general really thinks that we are just a lone army going deep into South Korea No?"

Xu Li was taken aback for a moment, then took a deep look at Li Mu with a sly smile on his face, and closed his mouth thoughtfully.

While chatting and laughing, the two led their cavalry and gradually approached Yiyang City.

When Li Mu's troops were only two or three miles away from Yiyang City, the west gate of Yiyang City suddenly opened, and a cavalry force of about a hundred men came out.

The moment they saw this cavalry, Li Mu and Xu Li looked at each other and nodded slightly at the same time.

Xu Li suddenly turned his horse's head and went directly towards the rear army.

As the main general, Li Mu has a handsome flag beside him, which is red and fluttering in the wind, and a big "Zhao" on it is quite conspicuous.

So the Korean soldiers who left the city did not hesitate, and came directly in the direction where Li Mu was.

After a while, a South Korean general with a calm temperament appeared in front of Li Mu. The South Korean general sized him up, finally set his eyes on Li Mu, and asked very friendly, "Excuse me, is this General Li Mu?"

Li Mu also replied very politely: "I am Li Mu, may I ask the general?"

The Korean general smiled slightly, and said: "I am the Korean general Jin Yan, and I am here to welcome General Li Mu by the order of my king."

"Jin Yan?" Li Mu showed a surprised expression on his face, and after a while it turned into a smile all over his face, and bowed to Jin Yan: "Oh, it turned out to be General Jin Yan in front of him. Thank you."

The two laughed and laughed all the way, and entered Yiyang City politely.

Of course, as for the 5000 people led by Li Mu, it was naturally impossible for them to enter the city, but to camp directly outside the city.

In the city, Li Mu was extremely surprised to meet a person that he did not expect at all.

Han Wangran unexpectedly appeared in the city guard's mansion of Yiyang City, and personally hosted a banquet for Li Mu.

Surprised, Li Mu didn't dare to neglect, and hastily stepped forward to salute: "The minister has seen the king!"

Han Wangran smiled kindly, stepped forward to help Li Mu himself, and patted Li Mu's shoulder very affectionately: "General Li Mu, you and I are all in one alliance, so why be so polite? Come, come, sit down, and Let the widows have a feast together!"

To be honest, Li Mu's drinking capacity is really not that good.

After all, wine is still a rarity in this era, and basically only the royal family and nobles can enjoy it frequently. Li Mu, who was a small military officer stationed in Gaoquesai a few years ago, has never drank wine a few times in his life.

So soon Li Mu's cheeks were flushed, his tongue was somewhat tongue-in-cheek when he spoke, he was a little drunk, and he even spilled Juezhong wine on the ground several times.

Han Wangran didn't feel annoyed when he saw this, instead he smiled and said to Li Mu: "General Li Mu, I heard that the general defeated Wang Ling's troops in Chongquan not long ago, and wiped out his entire army?"

Li Mu laughed loudly, and said: "Unexpectedly, the king's news is so well-informed. Yes, I have captured the king's tomb alive, and now he is being held in the camp of General Lian Po. After Xianyang is captured, he will be taken back to Handan to parade in the streets." achievement!"

The corners of Han Wangran's eyes twitched indistinctly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger for some reason: "Oh, so, is it possible that King Zhao is planning to destroy Qin State in one fell swoop?"

Li Mu seemed to be really on the top, completely disregarding the distinction between superiority and inferiority, he slapped his chest loudly in front of Han Wangran with his tongue: "Exactly! Now that Wang Lu's troops have been surrounded by General Lian Po In Yuanli, the fall is only a few days away. After the fall of Wang Yan's troops, what troops will the Qin State have to stand firm in Xianyang? At that time, our great Zhao Xiongbing will take down this capital of Qin and then destroy it. Going to the ancestral temple of the Qin people will shock the whole country of the Qin people, and they will never dare to be enemies with my great Zhao!"

When Li Mu talked about his joy, he couldn't help dancing, and even knocked over a lot of food and wine on the table.

Han Wangran's face changed slightly, and after a while, he burst out laughing suddenly: "Hahahaha, let me tell you the general, I have been subjected to the anger of the Qin State many times since I became the throne, and now that the Qin State is about to fall, I am very happy in my heart!"

Han Wangran laughed hypocritically, chatted with Li Mu for a while, and then waved his hand: "Come on, General Li Mu is a little drunk, help him down to rest!"

As soon as Han Wangran finished speaking, several young court ladies came forward to help Li Mu to rest.

After a while, only Han Wangran and Jin Yan were left in the hall.

Han Wangran pondered for a while, and said to Jin Fu, "Jin Qing, do you think what Li Mu said is true?"

Jin Fu's thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he thought for a while before he said, "I have observed Li Mu's belongings at close range when I greeted Li Mu today. Although this Zhao army's cavalry has traveled a long distance, they marched in an orderly manner and with high morale. , is definitely an elite teacher. Therefore, even if what Li Mu said is exaggerated, most of it should be true."

Han Wangran let out a long breath, and the expression on his face was not sure whether he was happy or worried: "So Qin will definitely lose this battle?"

"Of course." Jin Yan said with certainty, "Zhao may not necessarily win, but Qin will surely lose!"

Han Wangran said again: "If the widow helps Zhao at this time, can Zhao Guo win?"

Jin Fu said, "It's not a big problem."

Han Wangran continued: "If the widows help Wei and Qi, can this battle be won?"

Jin Fu pondered for a while, then slowly said: "If we can annihilate the [-] Zhao cavalry outside the city in one battle, and block the way for Lian Po's army to return east, then there is a high probability of victory. And now that Zhao's soldiers are exhausted, It’s not that hard to do that, but it’s

Han Wangran said: "It's just that the one who fought the main force of the Zhao army was the widowed South Korea, and the one who suffered the most was also the widowed South Korea. However, Wei and Qi were able to besiege Handan without any scruples, and finally won the victory of the fisherman. Lee, right?"

Jin Yan said: "Exactly."

Han Wangran snorted, and said: "Hmph, then Qi Wangjian and Wei Wangyu must really hope that I will do this? But I am not a fool! If this is the case, then I will give you one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and you will lead the army tomorrow. Let's go eastward with Li Mu's troops!"

Jin Yan stood up, bowed to Han Wangran respectfully, and said, "Here!"

After Jin Yan left, Han Wangran sat alone for a long time, his mustache slowly turned up, showing an inexplicable smile.

"The overlord of the Zhao Kingdom. Hey, what a overlord of the world! But, I really want to know, one day, will your Zhao Wang Dan follow in the footsteps of King Qi Min!"
