My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1126: We can't beat Chang'an Jun, and we can't beat you? I just hate that the checks and balances are not strong enough!

at the same time.

Li Mu crossed Puyin Xing, bypassed Wei County, and then crossed Jundu Xing. After a long journey, he finally arrived at Jicheng.

The troops of Lu Gao, Ma Chong and Li Xian surrounded the south, north and west sides of Jicheng. The armor made of fine iron gleamed brightly under the setting sun, casting a layer of rosy glow on the high-flying Qin flag.

However, the troops of the three parties did not take the initiative to attack the city walls, nor did they set up camps. Instead, they lined up their troops and built ladders as if no one was around.

When all the troops were in formation, Li Mu rode his horse forward, looked at the defenders outside the west gate, and said calmly: "General!"

"The former Wu'an Lord and General of Zhao, the former Wu'an Lord and General of Dai, and now the Commander of Qin, Li Mu."

"Lead our troops to attack the city."

When Li Mu's family soldiers recited these words loudly, the whole Jicheng was suddenly boiling!

"How is this possible! Wu Anjun surrendered to Qin?! Wu Anjun led the elite troops of Dai to attack our Jicheng!"

"Since this thief has committed treason, how can he be called the Lord of Wu'an?! Soldiers, shoot the enemy troops outside the city!"

"Even Wu'an Jun has surrendered, why should we still struggle to hold on! Follow Wu'an Jun, he will definitely not treat us unfairly! Open the city gate!"

"Defending Jicheng is the king's order! How can you disobey the king's order just because there are thieves standing outside the city?! Anyone who dares to surrender will be executed immediately!"

"You all know the bravery of Wu'an Jun, and you know even more the bravery of Chang'an Jun. Now Wu'an Jun and Chang'an Jun are attacking our country together. How can we hold on? Everyone, surrender! Surrender! It doesn't matter which country you get your salary from!"

"What are you trying to do? How dare you draw your swords against me? Rebellion! All of you are rebelling! Suppress the traitors!"

The Dai army in Dai and the Dai army in Qi had followed Li Mu to attack cities and capture strongholds, the Dai army in Yuyang had been attacked and captured by Li Mu, and the Dai army in Dai, Qi and Yuyang had all been attacked and captured by Ying Chengjiao.

Therefore, all the Dai troops in Jicheng were well aware of Li Mu’s bravery, and even more so of Ying Chengjiao’s bravery.

Li Mu's surrender to Qin was already a heavy blow to the morale of the Dai army, and Li Mu's attack made the Dai army's morale even more shaky. When they thought that Li Mu and Ying Chengjiao would attack together in this battle, and that the troops outside the city were several times more numerous than those inside the city, the Dai army's morale completely lost all desire to fight.

What the hell is this? Hurry up and give up the dark and join the light!

The powerful interest groups of the former Yan State, cultivated by Dai Wang Jia to check and balance Li Mu, roared and shouted on the city wall, but they could not get the soldiers to shoot even a single arrow outside the city.

Their action of drawing swords to suppress the rebellion instead aroused the anger of the Dai army soldiers.

We can't beat Chang'an Jun, nor can we beat Wu'an Jun, but we can't beat you yet?
"Comrades, fight them!"

"They are the superiors now, but after this battle, maybe we will all be superiors, and we will get military merits by killing the enemy!"

"Assemble! Charge towards the city gate and open it immediately to welcome friendly troops into the city!"

"My fellow officers, do not forget the fate of the people of Han and Wei! Send a message home immediately and have all your soldiers, servants, and men come to help!"

"Don't hold on to the city wall any longer! The wall can no longer be defended! Quickly retreat to the Dai Palace and fight the enemy together with the palace guards!"

Most of the Dai troops defending the city turned against them.

But the powerful people in Jicheng were unwilling to give up resistance. They were unwilling to give up everything they had now, and they were even more unwilling to start over as commoners of Qin!
The eunuchs and eunuchs in the Dai King's Palace fought to the death and refused to surrender!
Li Mu just stood quietly outside the gate of Jicheng without sending out a single soldier, but Jicheng was already in chaos!
Li Mu's eyes showed some relief and emotion, and he said without hesitation: "Send the message to Lu Gao, Ma Chong, and Li Xian."

"Immediately send the vanguard to build ladders and climb the city walls to support our comrades."

"Send a message to Jicheng, anyone who wants to return to Qin..." Remembering Ying Chengjiao's order during the Qin's attack on Chu, Li Mu emphasized, "Cut off your left sleeve!"

Li Xian hurriedly shouted: "First climb the warriors, bring the ladders and charge!"

"Soldiers, follow me to the city wall and prepare to climb the city!"

Those who climb up first will rush forward, with ladders to reach the top.

But Li Xian did not order the brave warriors to charge the city first, but ordered ten family soldiers to lead the way, and Li Xian followed closely behind!

After climbing up the city wall, Li Xian couldn't wait to shout: "I am Li Xian, the son of General Li Mu!"

"Soldiers! Follow my father to capture Jicheng and return it to Qin!"

After shouting, Li Xian realized that the Dai army soldiers around him had all cut off their left sleeves and echoed Li Xian in shouting: "Return to Qin!"

The moon was high in the sky, and blood was splattering like rain.

The brutal street fighting lasted for a whole night, until the first ray of sunlight of the next day shone on Jicheng, and a fluttering flag of the Great Qin Black Bird finally fluttered at the highest point in Jicheng!

The city gate was wide open, and the Dai army soldiers rushed out with their left arms exposed. Even though they were covered in blood and exhausted, they still had bright eyes and bowed their hands and shouted: "Your humble servants, pay homage to Lord Wu'an!"

Li Mu rode forward and said calmly: "I am no longer the Lord of Wu'an, but the Commander of the Qin Army."

"If you do not abandon me, you can first join my army and be counted for military merit like the Qin army."

"We will reorganize after we meet up with the commander-in-chief."

How could the Dai army's soldiers be unwilling? They immediately bowed their hands again and shouted, "Your humble servants, greet the captain!"

Li Mu nodded happily: "Good."

"Pass this general's order!"

"Order Li Xian to lead his troops to clean up and suppress Jicheng."

"The soldiers who just returned will rest for a day, and will march south with Li Xian's troops tomorrow." "The rest of the troops will follow me to Beicheng to support Li Hong's troops!"

It’s no wonder that King Jia of Dai was wary of Li Mu and tried to check and control him.

It’s really that Li Mu’s control over the Dai army is too terrifying!
Facing the attack from Li Hong's troops, the city of Beicheng fought to the death.

But when Li Mu arrived in person, the whole city of Beicheng surrendered in an instant. In fact, because there were no powerful groups from the former Yan State entrenched in the city, Beicheng fell even faster than Jicheng.

At the beginning of the eclipse (7:00) on April th, the th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the city of Ji returned to Qin, the palace of Dai fell, and the important officials who stayed behind in Dai were either killed, surrendered, or captured.

At sunset (19:00) on April th, the th year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, Beicheng returned to Qin, and the Beicheng warehouse fell into the control of Li Mu's troops.

At 9:00 am on April th of the th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Li Mu had led an army of more than soldiers across the Zhishui River and marched southwards to the northeast of Zhuocheng, facing the troops of King Jia of Dai from afar!

The banner of the contemporary king caught Li Mu's eyes, and Li Mu's eyes were particularly complicated: "I thought you would inherit the throne of King Zhao, and we would be good kings and ministers and rebuild the great cause of Zhao."

"I never thought that although you and I are king and subject, we are not king and subject of Zhao but king and subject of Dai."

"I never thought that you and I, once king and subject, would now be at war with each other!"

Li Mu sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"Li Hong's troops will be on the right wing, facing southwest, and Lu Gao's troops will be on the left wing, facing southeast."

"Zhao Jiang's troops are the rear guard, setting up camp."

"Ma Chong's troops are the vanguard, leading our troops to advance five miles and shoot at the Dai army."

"Greet the enemy and friendly forces first."

Li Mu lamented the impermanence of life, but Li Mu's offensive was relentless.

As soon as they met, they didn't even set up camp, but just fired a round of bullets directly at their heads.

Although this round of diffuse shooting could not kill many enemy soldiers, it left all the soldiers of the Dai Army stunned!
"Wasn't it Captain Ma Chong who was shooting at our troops from the north? Captain Ma Chong was supposed to be guarding Shanggu Pass, but how did he come to our rear and shoot a rain of arrows at us?"

"Wait! Look! The person standing on the northern hillside is Wu Anjun! How, how did Wu Anjun become the enemy of our army?!"

"Hiss~~~Wu'an Jun has rebelled! Moreover, Wu'an Jun came from the north. Is Jicheng still safe? Is Beicheng still safe? If Beicheng falls, where will our army get food in the future!"

When a sharp-eyed scout shouted out the name of 'Wu'an Jun', the nature of the matter changed!
A strong sense of panic spread among the military.

"King!" Zhuo Ta rode his horse to the side of Wang Jia, and said in a low voice with an extremely ugly expression: "Wu'an Jun has already rebelled, and he is still leading the army..."

Dai Wangjia interrupted Zhuo Ta rudely and said, "I can see it!"

"How could he do that?"

"How could he be so unworthy of my trust!"

"My father was very wary of him, but I appointed him as the Lord of Wu'an at the beginning of the country and entrusted him with important tasks. Even if he did something illegal, I would cover it up for him. Even when he claimed that Dai was his, I just laughed it off."

"Is this how he treats my kindness?!"

Dai Wangjia felt that he had done his best for Li Mu.

Although Li Mu suffered defeats in successive battles, King Jia of Dai did not depose him from his position as general, nor did he punish him. Instead, he continued to give him full trust and did his utmost to support Li Mu's Northern Expedition even though the State of Dai was not wealthy to begin with.

As for Li Mu's kindness in offering the land of Dai to King Jia of Dai for establishing the country?

What a joke! If Li Mu had offered Wu'an City to King Jia of Dai to establish his kingdom, King Jia of Dai would have acknowledged the favor. However, Zhao had never granted Dai to Li Mu. Dai had always been the Dai of the Dai Kingdom, not Li Mu's!

King Jia of Dai did not need to owe anyone any favors when he established his country in Dai. On the contrary, Li Mu felt that Dai was his, which was an act of treason!
Dai Wangjia became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. His body was shaking with anger: "Father is right!"

"This person has rebellious blood in his bones. He is not worthy of trust. Whenever he gains power, he will try to cause chaos like his ancestors did!"

"I am not wrong!"

"I have checked him in every possible way, but he still coerced our soldiers to betray me. If I don't check him, will he rebel against the whole country and usurp my throne? I only regret that I haven't checked him enough, not enough!"

Zhuo Ta hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"We will definitely capture this thief's head for the king to punish him for his crime of betraying the country!"

"Yes, the enemy has now surrounded our army."

"I am afraid that Jicheng and Beicheng have also fallen."

"How should our army fight the enemy next? Your Majesty, please make a quick decision!"

Dai Wangjia opened his mouth to speak, but was tongue-tied.

In the past, whenever faced with a difficult battle situation, King Jia of Dai would ask Li Mu for advice.

If Li Mu was not there, Dai Wang Jia would ask Mao Sui for advice.

But now, who can Dai Wangjia ask for advice?
