Chapter 247 Ying Zheng's Appetite

"General Li should have noticed by now that the army is gathering in the direction of Shangjun, right?" Ying Zheng asked Li Mu who was already seated.

"Your Majesty failed to hide it from my ministers, and the gathering of such a heavy army in the upper county may have caused some disturbances to be heard by my ministers." Li Mu said carefully.

This kind of thing is difficult to answer. If you say you don’t know, you will appear too incompetent, and there is a huge risk of deceiving the emperor, but if you say you know, you will also have the risk of violating the taboo, and you may make the emperor think you are too capable.

And between the two, which one is more dangerous, there is really no way to judge, all we can do is make a choice.

"The general has a heart." Ying Zheng said.

He summoned Li Mu, of course, to send Li Mu a mission, but this also required an investigation. Li Mu's reputation and ability, Ying Zheng was very clear, but that was limited to the army, and Ying Zheng's next plan, however, It's not just limited to when the two armies are facing each other.

The war of destroying the country is still different from the fighting between the two armies. The war of destroying the country needs to do more. It can even be said that the victory or defeat between the armies is the first step in the war of destroying the country. The importance of the second step is also not less than the first step, even worse.

Therefore, for Li Mu, Ying Zheng still needs to investigate. If there is anything wrong during the period, Ying Zheng can only replace him. After all, Ying Zheng dare not overestimate Li Mu's political wisdom.

"Is the general familiar with the map behind Gu?" Ying Zheng pointed to a huge map hanging behind him.

"I have lived in the border area for a long time, and although I have never seen the whole picture of the map behind the King, I do understand it. It is a map of the Yan Kingdom, and even includes the territory of the wolf clan outside the Liaodong County of the Yan Kingdom." Li Mu replied. road.

Seeing this map at this time, Li Mu's uneasy heart calmed down a lot. When he learned that the Qin State had assembled an army in Shangjun, he had already realized that the war that had been delayed for two years was about to break out after all. .

Zhao Guo has suffered a great deal of damage since the manipulative war two years ago. Apart from losing troops and generals, he also lost the entire northern border, which was the source of elite soldiers, and the main force was surrounded by the Qin army on the South Great Wall.

Faced with such a situation, the Zhao State had put almost all of its forces on the South Great Wall in the past two years, just to prevent the Qin army from completely eating the main force of the Zhao army, so as to avoid the tragedy of the Battle of Changping again.

But Zhao Guoke is not only the South Great Wall that needs to be defended.

Therefore, when Li Mu learned of the large-scale assembly of the Qin army and going to the county, Li Mu instinctively realized that the Qin army might want to use the Great Wall, which was originally intended to defend the northern wolves, as a channel for transporting troops. A sudden attack was launched from an unexpected place, and they invaded Zhao State from the north of Zhao State in one fell swoop.

At that time, King Zhao Wuling, Zhao Yong, once had a strategic concept of bypassing Hangu Pass, going to Yanmen Jiuyuan and other places, and launching a sudden attack on Qin State from the northern border of Qin State with the advantage of Zhao State cavalry. After being imprisoned and starved to death, this secret will forever be sealed in history, but as a military general of Zhao State, Li Mu still had the opportunity to know that this matter had already been sealed in Zhao State’s arsenal, and even Zhao State himself had Forget strategic planning.

But now the king can use the same method to deal with Zhao Guo. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable.

What's more, Li Mu also knew that Qin State had been building a large-scale elite cavalry several years ago.

The [-] youths selected from Daijun in Yanmen County are only part of the cavalry of Qin State.

With the Great Wall as the way of war and the cavalry that was more elite than that of Zhao Guo as the main force, Li Mu never imagined that in the face of such a sudden attack, Zhao Guo would have no chance to resist.

Although Li Mu has already become a native of Qin State and has served Qin State again, and now he is serving as the acting county guard of Qin State and the general of Northern Xinjiang, but if he is allowed to lead the Qin army to attack Zhao State at this time, although he will still take orders , and will unreservedly pour out all his strength to fight, but the hurdle in his heart is still there after all, which will make him very uncomfortable.

And when he followed Ying Zheng into the big tent, the huge map hanging in the center of the big tent immediately fell out of his sight. At that moment, Li Mu thought of a possibility, a kind of relief that made him feel relieved. possible.

The country of Yan is the purpose of the king to recruit him.

Invading Zhao State, Li Mu had a difficult hurdle in his heart, but Yan State?

Thinking of this, Li Mu became more relaxed. No matter how good the relationship between Yan and Zhao is now, in Li Mu's past life experience, Yan Guo has always played a disgraceful role. It's not just as simple as the hatred between Qin and Zhao, there are other things between them.

It can be said that Li Mu has no psychological burden to attack Yan State.

But relying only on a map, Li Mu still didn't dare to make such a judgment. Until Ying Zheng took the initiative to mention this map, Li Mu was almost able to confirm his conjecture.

"Yan Wangdan has now gathered the [-] new troops he has painstakingly managed over the past few years on the Qin-Yan border. There is no need to delve into what he is up to, but what I, the Qin Army, can gain from this is to think carefully about it." Clear." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty wants to destroy the [-] Yan army?" Li Mu asked cautiously.

"Fifty thousand is not enough," Ying Zheng said.

"We need to add another country of Yan." Ying Zheng continued.

"Yan Kingdom?" Although Li Mu had already guessed the possible answer, he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart when he was satisfied.

Because he knew very well that Yan State was definitely not the only target of Qin State sending troops this time, Zhao State was the biggest target, sending troops to attack two big countries at the same time?

What is involved in this is not just an issue between the military formations, but also politics. If the five countries in the world attack two countries at once, if you are not careful, the situation of the past will reappear .

If such a situation really occurs, things will be even more troublesome. Although the Qin State is strong, it has never been cautious when facing Hezong.

Besides, even if it can defeat the alliance of the various countries, it will be too difficult to destroy Zhao and Yan.

"I have prepared one hundred thousand troops for the Yan Kingdom alone, as well as you, the general." Ying Zheng said.

"One hundred thousand troops?" Li Mu said solemnly.

With one hundred thousand soldiers in hand, Li Mu is confident that he can fight against any large army in the world and win the battle, but destroy the country?That still requires siege, and siege is something he is not good at.

Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, is a majestic city with a history of 800 years. Except that Yan State was occupied by the Qi army due to civil strife, it has never been occupied by other troops.

"General Li only needs to wipe out the main force of the Yan army. As for the task of attacking the city, someone else will complete it."

Ying Zheng's words completely dispelled Li Mu's worries.
