Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

This is simply a dismounted cavalry.

Then Lian Po suddenly understood something: "You left all the horses on the west bank of Luo River?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Exactly, on the west bank of Luoshui, my subordinates only found less than a hundred small boats. Since the [-] horses could not cross the river, my subordinates left them on the west bank of Luoshui."

Under Li Mu's explanation, Lian Po finally understood.

In fact, the matter is very simple. After defeating Wang Ling's troops, Li Mu continued eastward to the west bank of Luoshui without stopping, and then collected dozens of small boats from nearby ferries and villages. Most of the soldiers under his command crossed the river, leaving only about [-] soldiers to guard the horses.

After that, Li Mu led the more than 1 soldiers under his command and drove for more than a day to the back of the defense line of the Qin army's royal city. Taking advantage of the battle between the two sides, he launched a surprise attack, which happened to be a feat in one fell swoop.

Lian Po's eyes widened, looking at Li Mu who was already covered in wounds after a fight, and asked the last question: "Have the people of Qin not discovered the existence of you?"

Li Mu laughed, and spread his palms innocently: "After sending out the royal tomb, the people of Qin must have put me on the must-death list, so how can they prevent me from killing me from behind?"

Lian Po thought about it and thought it was right.

[-] fighting against [-] is still a three-pronged attack. If Lian Po was the chief general of the Qin army, he probably would not have thought that the [-] Zhao army not only did not die, but even came out from behind and stabbed the Qin army fiercely.

Thinking of this, Lian Po's eyes on Li Mu changed again.

This kid is definitely a talent!

Lian Po snorted a few times, and suddenly stretched out his big hand and patted Li Mu's shoulder vigorously: "Good job, I will go to the king and ask for credit for you! Now, you go down and rest first."

Li Mu was staggered by Lian Po's unexpected slap and almost fell to the ground. After a while, he stood up grinning and was about to leave. Suddenly he stood still and said to Lian Po: "General, The next step is to attack Xianyang, right? I would like to lead the army as the general's vanguard and wipe out all the Qin troops!"

Lian Po squinted his eyes and looked at Li Mu for a long time, his eyes were strange, which made Li Mu feel a little nervous.

After a while, Lian Po suddenly laughed: "Xianyang? Of course I'm going to Xianyang, but maybe you don't need to."

"What?" Li Mu was a little stunned when he heard this.

Lian Po chuckled, and suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words in Li Mu's ear.

After saying these words, Lian Po straightened up, swaggered and led the guards away.

There are still many Zhao army troops waiting for the great general Lian Po to inspect and commend them.

Li Mu stood there, looking at Lian Po who was leaving with a strange expression, and after a while, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Although, this task does not seem to be bad!"

Li Mu turned around and yelled at the subordinates who were still a little confused behind him: "Let's go, quickly find a place for me to sleep with him, there are still big things waiting for us to do!"

"Big thing?" Perhaps because of the relaxed mood after the big battle, several barbarian officers under Li Mu's command couldn't help but start teasing: "General, what's the big deal? It's as big as the buttocks of our tribal mothers-in-law." ?"

"Not to mention, the general has been stationed in the frontier fortress all these years, and I'm afraid he hasn't touched a woman for a long time."

"General, my little sister just died of her husband, do you want to think about it? Don't worry, the general is not responsible, all you need is to leave your own flesh and blood!"

Li Mu spat, and laughed and cursed at a group of laughing Zhao Guo officers in front of him: "Don't give up on me, the general, and quickly set up camp to rest! Hmph, I can tell you, if the mission this time is messed up, Well, it’s really developed! By the way, immediately send someone back to inform General Xu Li, and let him get [-] war horses here as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

Chapter 421 Summation (First Update)

Xianyang Palace.

Although it was already night, the lights in Xianyang Palace were still brightly lit.

Almost all the ministers of the Qin State in Xianyang were anxiously waiting for the news, and the hall was full of anxious atmosphere.

Prince Zhao Zhu's eyes were already red, and he was walking around restlessly, looking up at the door of the dormitory from time to time, his face was extremely smelly, and no one dared to approach him.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Zhao Zhu was refreshed. He looked up and saw an old palace doctor, and hurried to meet him.

"How's the situation?" Zhao Zhu asked hastily.

The white-haired palace doctor looked at the several important ministers of Qin who surrounded him at the same time, and hesitated to speak.

Zhao Zhu was obviously a little impatient, and shouted: "But it's okay to say!"

The palace doctor was taken aback by Zhao Zhu's sudden scolding, the white beard and the wrinkles on his face trembled, and after a while he said: "Your Majesty, this is caused by excessive anger. It wasn't a big problem in the first place. It's good to take care of yourself, but"

Zhao Zhu's brow just loosened, and he was extremely angry by the old palace doctor's twist, and slapped the palace doctor's face directly, and shouted: "Speak directly if you have something to say, hesitate, I see if you don't want to Doomed!"

The old palace doctor was slapped by Zhao Zhu and took a few steps back. He became dizzy and almost fell to the ground, a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Zhao Zhu finally understood the specific situation from the old palace doctor.

To put it bluntly, the situation of vomiting blood is shortness of breath, and it is usually better to lie down and recuperate for a while.

But the problem is that Qin Wangji is really too old.

Now 68 years old, Qin Wangji, who is almost 90 years old, is basically equivalent to a [-]-year-old birthday star in this era.

This led to a situation, that is, Qin Wangji's physical recovery ability was very, very poor.

In addition, Qin Wangji had vomited blood once before, which made things worse.

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the people present were quite heavy.

Zhao Zhu opened his mouth, intending to slap the crow-mouthed palace doctor in front of him who had been talking for a long time but didn't get to the point, but after thinking about it, he suppressed his anger and asked, "When will the king be able to do so?" wake?"

The old palace doctor covered his mouth, looked at Zhao Zhu's slightly trembling right hand in horror, and said vaguely: "The king has already given this medicine, and he should be able to wake up in two or three days."

Three days later, the old palace doctor and his entire family were dragged to the gate of the Xianyang vegetable market, where they were chopped up and abandoned.

While many people in Xianyang City were watching the chopping ceremony of the vegetable market, Zhao Zhu had already started to call the ministers of Qin State for a meeting as the host of the meeting.

There were not many people attending the meeting this time, only the three princes and nine ministers of the Qin State, several respected elders of the royal family, and Lu Buwei.

It is obviously a very strange thing that a guest official like Lu Buwei can attend such a meeting that largely determines the fate of Qin.

But since this was Zhao Zhu's intention, no one questioned Lu Buwei's qualifications ignorantly.

After all, Qin Wangji has not woken up since he fell into a coma that day. Although this is not a good thing, it also means that Zhao Zhu may become the new Qin Wang anytime, anywhere.

Under such circumstances, although Lu Buwei's attendance was against the system, everyone tacitly ignored it.

Obviously not in good spirits, Zhao Zhu coughed softly with two big dark circles under his eyes, and said, "Zhuqing, now Lian Po has led an army to surround Yuanli. Wang Yan ordered someone to secretly send a letter for help, Speaking of the critical situation, even with the advantage of the city wall, it can only last for about ten days at most, what should we do?"

The atmosphere in the hall was dull, and no one spoke for a while.

After all, it has been several days. Although the details of the battle that day are not very clear, the loss of the Qin army has been reported back to Xianyang through Wang Lu's urgent report.

There were less than 13 Qin troops who followed Wang Lu back to Yuanli!

This means one thing, at least [-] of the Qin army were either killed by the Zhao army, or became prisoners of the Zhao army.
