Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 407

Li Mu coughed and said solemnly: "Now I have led [-] cavalry into Guanzhong. This Liyang can only come down sooner or later, but this general is not that brutal and bloodthirsty. If Liyang City is willing to surrender, then I can Guarantee that no one will die in Liyang City!"

The old man immediately said: "General, please rest assured, if you can enter Liyang City, you must pass this on."

Li Mu nodded, took a deep look at the old man in front of him, waved his hand and said to the Zhao cavalry who had been guarding the Qin people, "Let them go to Liyang City by themselves!"

At first, these hundreds of Qin people were a little bit unwilling to believe that they were really free. When they walked, they looked back at every step, lest Zhao's army would do something unfavorable to them.

After walking a full mile away, and confirming that Zhao Guo cavalry had no intention of chasing at all, the group of Qin Guo people strode forward, screaming and ran towards the gate of Liyang City past.

Xu Li was a little puzzled, and said to Li Mu: "Why did the general tell the people of Qin about the details of our army?"

Li Mu turned his head, smiled at Xu Li and said, "General, do you think that if these Qin women and children can enter Liyang City, will the city guards of Liyang City believe their words?"

Xu Li thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe."

Li Mu said with a smile: "To be honest, I really hope that the city guard can believe it. I have sent an order that all the cavalry who are on the attack will drive all the residents of the Qin Kingdom from all the villages dozens of miles outside the city of Liyang. In Liyang City, increase the burden on Liyang City, and at the same time let the defenders in Liyang City understand that they have been completely surrounded by Zhao Guo's army."

Xu Li seemed to understand a little bit: "So the general means that he wants to make the Qin people in Liyang City panic?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "That's right, as long as Liyang City gets this information, they will find a way to send this information to Xianyang no matter what. If Qin Wangji knows that our army has only 2 people, for the sake of stability, The people in Guanzhong will definitely mobilize troops to fight our army. At that time, it will be the place where we can use our talents!"

Suddenly, Xu Li clapped his hands and said: "The general's plan is wonderful! But what if Qin Wangji blocks the news and orders the defenders of Liyang City to stick to it?"

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile: "Liyang City is located in the center of the Qin army's supply road, as long as Qin Wangji doesn't want his frontline army to run out of food, then after knowing this information, he will definitely find a way to verify the number of our army. , After the confirmation is completed, the Qin army will definitely be ordered to attack!"

Xu Li was still a little worried: "But what should we do if there are two attacks from Xianyang and Wangcheng?"

Li Mu laughed loudly, and said: "General Xu Li, we have [-] cavalry under our command! Can there be an army surrounded by [-] cavalry in this world?"

After a pause, Li Mu smiled again: "Of course, in order to make Qin Wangji make up his mind to attack as soon as possible, why don't you ask the general to take five thousand cavalry and go to the outskirts of Xianyang for a ride?"

Chapter 4 Zhao Guoren is here? (first update)

Xianyang Palace.

"What, a large number of Zhao cavalry appeared on the outskirts of Xianyang, at least [-] in number?"

The moment he heard the news, Qin Wangji couldn't help but slammed the table down.

The next moment, the entire hall was filled with Qin Wangji's roar: "Who will tell you how this Zhao army cavalry came under your noses!?"

There was silence in the hall.

In fact, what Qin Wangji didn't know was that the Zhao cavalry who came outside Xianyang City did not report so many, but after reporting layer by layer, the number reported to Qin Wangji's ears was inevitably higher than the original number. The actual number is much higher.

This is because the people of Qin State have become accustomed to a more realistic style of doing things after Shang Yang's reform, so when they exaggerate, they are only exaggerating a little bit.

If the Shandong kingdoms were changed, the number reported might be [-] cavalry or even more.

Of course, even the number of eight thousand cavalry is enough to make Qin Wangji very angry.

8000 people are enough to threaten Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

You must know that the last time Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, might have been breached by the enemy was more than 30 years ago!

It was after that incident that Qin Wangji worked hard to become stronger, and with his own scheming and skill, he brought down the two major opponents of Chu and Qi.

I thought I would be able to sit back and relax without worrying about it, but I never expected that people would have a lot of worries in their later years, and they would be bullied by the enemy again.

Speaking of which, the last time the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms only forced Qin to negotiate a peace after breaking through Hangu Pass, and basically did not enter the hinterland of Guanzhong.

But this time Zhao Guoren came to Xianyang City swaggeringly, showing off his might under the eyes of Qin Wangji and Qin's ancestors!

Coupled with the grievances and grievances between Zhao Guo and Qin Guo over the years, no matter how you look at it, the anger in Qin Wangji's heart is obviously stronger this time.

Seeing Qin Wangji's angry expression, all the officials of Qin State in the palace were also panicked, and they all looked at each other speechlessly.

Xiangbang Cai Ze felt helpless when he saw this, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out: "Don't worry, my lord, although Zhao Guoren has already approached the city, it is impossible to break through Xianyang City with only [-] soldiers and horses."

Qin Wangji snorted heavily, and said: "Of course I know that only eight thousand soldiers can't break Xianyang City, but how can you be sure that the Zhao army only has these eight thousand soldiers?"

As soon as this question was asked, Cai Ze was immediately speechless.

It was at this moment that Cai Ze suddenly remembered something.

That is, a few hours ago, that is, early this morning, Wang Yan, who was on the front line of Wangcheng, sent back a messenger with an urgent letter, saying that a cavalry from Zhao State might have gone south to attack Guanzhong secretly, so that Xianyang could attack Guanzhong early. be prepared.

However, Cai Ze did not take this urgent letter seriously at the time.

In Cai Ze's view, unless the front line of Wangcheng was defeated, even if Zhao Jun's kittens came to Guanzhong in three or two, wouldn't that be a reward for the battle?

More importantly, although Wang Yan didn't know about it, Cai Ze had been receiving news from various cities in Shangjun in the past few days.

Judging from these news, a large-scale Zhao cavalry is looting around in Shangjun, and while looting, it is heading south towards the front line of Wangcheng.

Cai Ze made such a judgment naturally. This Zhao army was obviously planning to flank the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Lu together with Lian Po's troops.

Therefore, Cai Ze did not take Wang Lu's warning to heart, and directly withheld Wang Lu's urgent report, and did not report it.

The main reason is that Qin Wangji's temper has also been grumpy these days, and Cai Ze is also a little worried that if he hastily submitted it, he will spray Qin Wangji with the excuse of lax review. Qin Wangji has been doing a lot of things recently.

But it is clear that the main force of the Zhao army is in Shangjun, but another main force of the Zhao army cavalry appeared in the hinterland of Guanzhong, a hundred miles away. This is too nonsense!

You must know that this is a cavalry, even people and horses, how did they cross the Luoshui silently without being discovered?

Simply divine!

But no matter what, the fact that Cai Ze has to face now is that he did make a mistake, and what Wang Lu said was right.

Thinking of this, Cai Ze really regretted it.

So Cai Ze coughed and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Zhao army's cavalry is very likely to be the one that suddenly entered Shangjun from Henan a few days ago!"

Qin Wangji was stunned for a moment, and then his old face began to show a tendency to unfurl: "I see, I thought this Zhao cavalry just came in to harass me, but I didn't expect it to be so bold that I came outside the city of Xianyang." !"

Qin Wangji felt relieved when he heard the news, why?Because apart from the beacon warning a few days ago, there have been no other beacon warnings in the past few days.

In this way, it is enough to explain one point, that is, the Zhao Guo cavalry who suddenly appeared outside Xianyang City did not have any Zhao Guo follow-up troops behind them!

Thinking of this, Qin Wangji's mood improved a lot.

If there are any follow-up troops, then Xianyang will be really dangerous.

As for Cai Ze's dereliction of duty, although Qin Wangji was also aware of it, he didn't say anything.

After all, there is already such a trend in Qin's military separation. The two successive Prime Ministers, Fan Sui and Cai Ze, are the kind of candidates who are not very good at military affairs. If this is the case, it is really not Cai Ze's turn to blame.

After all, there are quite a few Qin generals present, so it's normal for Cai Ze not to see the problems that so many generals of Qin can't see.
