Li Mu told all the generals who went to the county guard mansion that they were going to break through at night, and asked them to break through from the four city gates. There were also 60,000 horses in the city, 15,000 men in each team, and they went out of the city at the same time to break through the siege. At the same time, Li Mu also told these people that their fate was in their own hands, so no matter whether they could break through at night or not, they would go their own way in the future.

After listening to Li Mu's plan, everyone was whispering, Li Mu's meaning was obvious, he had decided to let everyone escape, instead of desperately gathering all the forces to attack the weakest point of the Qin army, it was better to break through separately, so that it could also attract the military strength of the Qin army for the friendly forces that broke through in other directions.

After Li Mu dismissed everyone in the lobby of the county guard's mansion, he left Chang'an Juncheng and Fan Yuzhi behind. Li Mu looked at the two people in Shangdang City who were second only to himself in power, and he said: "Chang'an Jun, General Fan, tonight our army broke through from the four city gates, I hope that Jun Shang and General Fan can go all the way with General Ben." ”

"Why?" Cheng asked Li Mu.

Li Mu stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and then turned to Cheng and Fan Yuzhi and said: "Don't misunderstand the king and General Fan, it's not that the general doesn't trust the king, but that the king of Zhao has an order to pass it to me, he hopes that the king can return to Handan, and the king of Zhao is willing to keep the title of the king, and he also set aside two cities for the king in Zhao as the king's food." As for General Fan, he was originally the internal response that my Zhao State placed in the court of the Qin State, and Zhao Guo also specially instructed General Fan to follow the general back to Handan City to accept the reward together. ”

Fan Yuzhi looked very happy after listening to Li Mu's words, although he already had the will of King Zhao to be knighted, but he gave him the place of Shangdang, and now Shangdang will not be able to keep it, if he is caught by the Qin army, it is probably a luxury to die happily. So now there are only two ways in front of Fan Yuzhi, either to go to Zhao State, or the city is ruined, and Fan Yuzhi will of course choose the former.

Of course, Cheng Xin has his own strategy, and he has already promised Yang Duanhe, so he will never follow Li Mu and Fan Yuzhi back to Handan, Zhao State. He first pretended to agree to Li Mu, and then said that he would go back to pack his things, and then said goodbye to Li Mu and left the county guard's mansion.

When he returned to his residence, he was very surprised to find that the two people sent to him by Li Mu did not follow, presumably Li Mu felt that he was going to leave with him tonight, and there was no point in monitoring him again, so he simply withdrew. In this way, I am synthesizing the mind. As soon as he returned home, he found Yang Duan and He Mengli, who were waiting for his news in the room.

Cheng told Yang Duanhe and Mengli the news that Li Mu planned to break out tonight, and Yang Duanhe Fusu said: "As expected, Li Mu finally can't wait, since he chose to break through tonight, then we should inform Marshal Wang in advance." General Meng, this matter is left to you, be sure to pass the news on before the sun sets. ”

"The last will obey. Meng Li said.

Yang Duanhe looked at Cheng and asked, "Li Mu wants to take Jun Shang with him?"

Cheng nodded, and he said to Yang Duanhe: "Li Mu said that this was King Zhao's idea, and Benjun took it to Handan and asked Benjun to be a marionette in their hands. How could Ben Jun fall for them, since Ben Jun had already agreed to Yang Qing, he naturally would not regret it. ”

Yang Duanhe laughed, and then said: "Okay, since the king is so wise, when the army is victorious, I will definitely intercede for the king when I return to Xianyang City, and try to ensure that the king is safe." ”

Yang Duanhe calculated the current time, it was still early, Li Mu

Since it was arranged to break through the city in the middle of the night, now that he and all the Zhao Jun were recuperating, this was the best time to do it. Yang Duan and Rang Mengli immediately sent a message to the Qin army camp, asking them to quickly reorganize their army and prepare to attack the city.

Meng Li left to deliver a message to the Qin army outside the city, and Yang Duanhe continued to say to Cheng: "I wonder how many soldiers under the monarch are willing to obey the king's dispatch now?"

Cheng thought carefully for a while, and then said to Yang Duanhe: "Benjun is not sure, among the 100,000 people brought by Benjun, some of them obeyed Fan Yuzhi's orders, and there were also those who obeyed Benjun, but there were very few, after all, Benjun has no military merits, and he can't attract many people by relying on Benjun's name alone." Benjun estimates that there can be about 10,000 horses, and if there are more, there will be no more. ”

"10,000 people...... Well, let me think about it. Yang Duanhe paced back and forth in the room for a short while, and then said to Cheng: "The king can send his henchmen to find this part of the leading generals one by one, just tell them one sentence, if you want to live, just follow the king, and don't say anything else." ”

Cheng nodded, summoned Zhu Da and Zhu Er, who were waiting in the courtyard, and then ordered them to invite a few Qin generals who often came here, saying that they had important matters to discuss with them, and let them come to the house to talk, and then they were not at ease, so they called Zhu Da and Zhu Er back, and then brought two bamboo slips that had not yet been worn, wrote two lines of words for them to carry, and instructed them to show them if they were unwilling to come.

After arranging everything, Cheng asked Yang Duanhe, "What is Benjun going to do next?"

Yang Duanhe smiled and said to Cheng: "Your Excellency just sit here and wait for the city to break." ”

Wang Jian was patrolling the barracks, and when he heard news from the Shangdang City, he hurried to the tent. When he arrived at the handsome tent and got the news in his hand, Wang Jian opened it and took a look, and said with a smile to Mengwu and his son, Li Xin, Zhang Tang and others who followed behind him: "As expected, Li Mu, the old man, finally couldn't help it, he wanted to go out of the city tonight to break through." ”

Many Qin army generals in the tent laughed, and Zhang Tang said: "It seems that there is no tomorrow's food in Shangdang City, otherwise Li Mu would not have jumped over the wall so quickly, thinking of breaking through." ”

"Yes, since we have learned the news that they want to break through, it is better to wait at the four city gates, I don't believe that I can't find Li Mu. Li Xin also said.

Wang Jian waved his hand to stop their discussion, and then he spoke: "What you said makes sense, but the letter also said that Li Mu wants to take Fan Yuqi and Chang'an Jun away and bring them back to Zhao State. Lord Yang was afraid that there was an omission in the matter, so he sent a message to us to attack the city, and then he would order someone to open the gate of the west city of Shangdang City to welcome us into the city. ”

Meng Wu looked at Wang Jian and said, "In this case, what are you waiting for, the marshal will now organize our army to prepare for the siege of the city." ”

Meng Tian persuaded beside him: "Father, don't worry, the marshal naturally has the intention of arranging it like this, we just need to wait until the time is up, and Shangdang City will naturally be easily taken down, which will reduce a lot of our casualties." ”

Wang Jian looked at Meng Tian and said with a smile: "Meng Tian is right, we have enough grain and grass now, and we can still afford to consume it for half a day, we are not in a hurry, it should be Li Mu and them who are in a hurry." The order went down, the army was on standby, Shen Shi assembled, and Shen Shi must rush to the west gate of Shangdang City at three o'clock. The encircled troops of the other three gates were not allowed to move without permission, and if any enemy troops were to leave the city, they should resist. ”

"No. All the soldiers in the tent said.

Just after the afternoon, Li Mu ordered people to start cooking on a fire, took out all the remaining grain, and ate it all, and even the food in the homes of the people in the city was forcibly bought back by Zhao Jun. Since he wants to break through the siege, it is better to leave an empty city for the Qin army, and when Wang Jian enters the city, he will find that this is not only an empty city, but also tens of thousands of ordinary people in the city waiting for him to feed.

Just after Li Mu gave the order, someone suddenly came over and sent him a message, saying that a stranger had entered Juncheng's house in Chang'an, and he had also summoned several generals of the Qin army before, so he was afraid that he had other intentions.

"Hmph, I'm afraid I have other intentions, I'm afraid he wants to rebel. Come, follow me to Chang'anjun's place. Li Mu tore up the secret letter in his hand, he noticed Cheng's unusual performance in the morning, it seems that this kid who hasn't grown all his hair is really brave.

Li Mu's personal guards were soon assembled at the county guard's mansion, Li Mu put on his armor, mounted his green horse, and galloped towards Cheng's residence with the people.

Cheng was discussing things with Yang Duanhe at his residence, and suddenly Zhu Da broke in, "Qi Yu Jun, Li Mu...... Li Muta......"

"What's wrong with him, say slowly. Cheng asked.

Zhu Da took a breath, and then said: "Your Majesty, Li Mu is here with people, and his own soldiers have surrounded our place. Looking at Li Mu's appearance, it seems that he wants to be unfavorable to the king. ”

Cheng looked at Yang Duanhe, Yang Duanhe got up from his seat, and he said to Cheng: "Since Li Mu is now besieging but not attacking, it means that he doesn't know our plan yet, if Li Mu doesn't turn his face now, you can go and deal with him." If he wants to do something to the king without real evidence, then I have my own way to protect the king from harm. ”

Cheng was already a little scared, his residence Li Mu had never been here, this time he brought so many soldiers with him, and he also fenced off his own place, it seems that there are still people around him who have reported to Li Mu, otherwise now the city is in chaos to death, how can Li Mu have time to come here.

Cheng had no choice but to follow Yang Duanhe's proposal and get up to go to the front hall to receive Li Mu. When he arrived in the front hall, Li Mu was in the front hall with his sword in both hands, closing his eyes and recuperating. On either side of Li Mu, there were five murderous Zhao Jun.

"Why did General Li come to Benjun at this time? Benjun was still packing up his things in the backyard, and he didn't come to greet the general, and he hoped that the general would forgive him. ”

When Li Mu heard Cheng's voice, he opened his eyes, turned to Cheng and said, "This general sees that the king's things have not been packed yet, and he is afraid that the king's manpower will not be enough, so he wants to bring someone to help the king clean up his things." Someone, what are you still standing for, why don't you go and help you clean up your things?"

After hearing Li Mu's words, the ten soldiers in the hall turned around and walked towards the backyard, Cheng hurriedly stopped, "General Li, what do you mean by this, this is Benjun's private courtyard, and no one can enter without Benjun's permission." ”

Li Mu looked at Cheng and sneered: "Yes, I think the gentleman is fake when he packs up things, and the Tibetans are real." Search for me!"

"Yes. "Ten Zhao soldiers are about to go to the backyard. But there was only one road from the front hall to the backyard, and Cheng happened to block the road, preventing Zhao Jun from entering the backyard.

"General Li is not afraid that in the future, Benjun will play a copy of the general in front of King Zhao?" Cheng stretched out his hands and blocked the road. The ten Zhao soldiers were afraid that they would really be injured, and they didn't dare to move one step further.
