Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 399

Another, and at the same time, the most important reason is that it is too close to the Hetao area originally occupied by the Linhu people.

It is obviously impossible to expect too many people to live in a place that has been infested by barbarians all year round.

But such a place actually has certain benefits for Li Mu.

In a place as crowded as Handan, even the transfer of [-] troops cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of those who are interested.

But in places like Hetao and Shangjun, as long as there are enough people, any news and intelligence can be blocked.

As for the method of blocking the news, it is actually very simple. You only need to send the scouts far away for dozens of miles, and then kill all the people who do not belong to Zhao Guo's army.

Under Li Mu's ruthless order, [-] Zhao cavalrymen leveled all the villages they saw along the way, killing every Qin person who might pass the message, thus achieving a perfect level that the Qin people didn't even know. The purpose of the specific situation of this northern Zhao army.

That is, at noon of this day, a scout came to Li Mu, first gave a military salute, and then shouted to Li Mu: "General, Gao Nu is fifty miles ahead!"

Li Mu nodded slightly, took out a rather old-looking map from his pocket, looked at it for a while, and suddenly issued an order: "Send the order, the whole army turns to the southwest!"

"Ah?" Li Mu gave this order, and many generals around him were a little confused, with extremely surprised expressions on their faces.

Of course, Li Mu noticed the surprised expressions of these generals, but he didn't have any desire to explain.

According to common sense, if Li Mu wants to go south to help Lian Po, then he should go south all the way through Gaonu, Guyang, Diaoyin, Pengya, Wang, Yuanli, or go south along Fanpang and Shaoliang. Only in this way can Wang Yan, who is confronting Lian Po in Wangcheng, be stabbed fiercely from the side, thus helping the main force of Zhao State led by General Lian Po.

But although this line of entry seems to be the most recent choice, it actually has its own problems.

The problem was that this route had to pass through too many cities of the Qin State, and the [-] cavalry under Li Mu's command lacked the heavy weapons necessary to attack the city, and most of them were light cavalry without any armor.

Letting the light cavalry dismount and attack the city with bows and arrows will definitely make Li Mu a laughing stock in the history books.

Li Mu believed that if the Xianyang side knew that there was a Zhao army cavalry going south from Hetao County, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State would definitely hope that Li Mu would choose this seemingly flat road, but in fact it was full of dangers.

So of course Li Mu would not do this.

Li Mu has his own ideas.

Li Mu planned to bypass the Luoshui River and run quickly along the Luoshui River from the west bank of the Luoshui River. Regardless of Lian Po or Wang Lu who were fighting fiercely in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, he went straight to the core area of ​​Qin State Guanzhong!

What's even more wonderful is that, unlike the former Xihe County on the east bank of Luoshui, which was once managed by Wei State, there are hardly any decent cities of Qin State in the hundreds of thousands of miles on the west bank of Luoshui River.

If everything goes well, Li Mu will be able to lead his [-] cavalry to appear in the hinterland of the Qin people in two days or three days, and give Qin the most precious Guanzhong Basin a ruthless blow!

Strictly speaking, this is not Li Mu's claim.

This claim comes from the ancient map in Li Mu's arms, and this ancient map was sent to Li Mu by Zhao Dan's order.

But Zhao Dan is not the creator of this map.

The map was drawn by Zhao Dan's grandfather, the famous Zhao Wuling King!

The route Li Mu is taking now is exactly the route drawn by the ambitious Zhao Wuling King after Hu Fu rode and shot for thousands of miles!

Back then, King Wuling of Zhao set off from Yunzhong County, went all the way south along the west bank of Luoshui River, and finally arrived in Xianyang, then met Qin Wangji in the name of Zhao Guo's envoy, and finally left in a big way.

If there hadn't been the tragedy of the Dune Palace Change that ultimately caused Zhao Guo's vitality to be severely injured, then perhaps the iron hooves of Zhao Guo's cavalry had already stepped into the hinterland of Guanzhong along the route that King Wuling of Zhao personally walked.

But what should come will always come.

The great King Wuling, his efforts were not in vain. After 38 years after the death of King Zhao Wuling, a young general of the State of Zhao finally led [-] elite cavalrymen of the State of Zhao to this land and set foot on the land. Using this map drawn by King Zhao Wuling himself as a guide, go straight to Huanglong!

Li Muzhen carefully put away the map and looked up at the sky.

A scorching sun was in the very center of the sky, and the dazzling light made Li Mu unable to open his eyes at all.

Wasn't the Zhao Wuling King back then also so dazzling and so invincible?

But it was such an inexhaustible hero who was besieged in the Dune Palace by Sikou Li Dui and Prince Cheng at the prime of his life, starving to death for more than three months!

Li Mu on the horseback closed his eyes, praying secretly in his heart.

"King Wu Ling, if there is a spirit in the sky, please protect me and wait for success, and protect Zhao Guo to win this battle!"

When he opened his eyes, Li Mu's eyes glowed with incomparable radiance.

"Send down the order to send two thousand cavalry all the way southeast of Luoshui River, and make a big noise along the way. We must let the Qin people be our main force! The remaining [-] cavalry will follow me to the southwest, and they will not dismount until sunset. Point directly at Guanzhong!"

Under Li Mu's order, [-] cavalrymen changed direction with billowing smoke and dust, like a long black dragon turning to the southwest.

Just as Sun Tzu said in the Art of War and Military Potential: "All fighters use righteousness to win by surprise. The disease of rushing water, as for boulders, is momentum; the disease of birds of prey, as for destroyers, is festival. Therefore. Those who are good at war have dangerous potential and short stature. The momentum is like expanding a crossbow, and the knot is like a machine.”

Now, Li Mu is going to lead the [-] cavalrymen under his command to act as a surprise army that Qin people can't imagine going south, appear suddenly in a place that Qin people don't expect, and then give Qin a completely unexpected "surprise" !"

Li Mu galloped his horse with only one thought in mind.

"Target Liyang!"

Chapter 395 Lord Chang, do you want to save Zhao? (first update)

The lower capital of Yan State, Wuyang City.

As the young Prime Minister of Yan State, Bang Le Jian, walked all the way, countless guards and maids bowed to him, but this always kind Xiang Bang turned a blind eye today, with a serious expression on his face.

When Le Jian walked into the main hall, the young Queen Mother Yan was already waiting for him there.

"Chen Lejian has seen the Queen Mother!" Le Jian respectfully saluted the Queen Mother.

"Mr. Chang, please sit down." Empress Dowager Yan's cold voice reached Le Jian's ears.

After Lejian sat down, Queen Mother Yan asked, "How is the Liaodong matter going?"

After taking power, the first thing the Empress Dowager Yan and Le Jian had to do was to wipe out Rong Yan and all the party members of the former Yan Wang An, so as not to give them any chance to make a comeback.

After this year, the current Yan Kingdom can be said to have been completely controlled by the Empress Dowager Yan and the Lejian faction.

But there are always exceptions to everything. Half a month ago, the prefect of Liaodong County of Yan State suddenly rebelled, wanting to crusade against Lejian and Queen Mother Yan.

This is what the Empress Dowager Yan asked.

Le Jian replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, I have ordered people to lead the army to suppress the rebellion. Within half a month, Liaodong should return to the hands of my Great Yan Kingdom."

The Empress Dowager Yan hummed lightly, and said, "Is someone instigating behind your back?"

Lejian nodded, and said: "According to some reports, I think Donghu and Jizi North Korea may be suspected of instigating the flames."

The young Empress Dowager Yan snorted, and a stern look flashed in her phoenix eyes: "Donghu, Jizi North Korea? How courageous! Are they not afraid of the Great Yan Kingdom sending troops to attack?"

Le Jian said: "With the Queen Mother's permission, I am willing to personally lead troops to conquer Donghu and Jizi North Korea!"

The Empress Dowager Yan was silent for a moment, then shook her head lightly: "No, now that the country is unstable, how can we attack so easily?"
