Chapter 267: Between Two Corners
The camp in Hedong gathered nearly 100,000 standing troops of the Zhao State, here, it was the first line of the Zhao State defense of the Qin State, the military camp that stretched for dozens of miles, the fortresses were lined up, and the defense was tight, and their only task was to seal the Qin State in the Hangu Pass and prevent them from stepping out of the gate. The standing army of the Hedong battalion has always been maintained at more than 50,000, but after the transfer of the army of Daijun this time, the number has increased dramatically, and it has reached nearly 100,000.
Zhao Mu, when the world's famous generals, whether it is against the Huns, or against the Qin State, has never fallen behind, which has also achieved the name of Zhao Mu, in the Zhao State, although Zhao Mu is not a captain, but has the fact of a captain, in the Zhao State, most of the standing army generals are from his subordinates, which is also the reason why he can never become a captain, because his relationship with Gongzilan is too close.
The only reason why he still stays in the position of Taiwei is that Zhao Mu was picked up by him, and only if he stayed in this position, Zhao Mu would not be dissatisfied.
As a master of the art of war, Zhao Mu's planning on the basis of strategy is unparalleled. More than ten years ago, it was he who single-handedly planned to seize the five cities of Linfuwei from Yan State, thus completely solving the hidden danger of Yan State to Zhao State, so that Zhao State could wholeheartedly deal with the threat from the north and west. It is precisely because of the existence of Zhao Mu that although Zhao Guo's national strength has declined over the years, he still stays firmly in the position of the second.
This time Zhao State was suddenly in danger, completely beyond Zhao Mu's expectations, which made him a little uneasy, deep down, always faintly felt that something was going to happen, when King Zhao decided to give up Daijun and defend Qin with all his might, Zhao Mu did not object, in his opinion, the threat of Qin is indeed much greater than that of the Xiongnu, coupled with the grievances between King Zhao and Gongzi Lan in China, he can't say more.
It has been several months since I came to Hedong, and the Qin army in Hangu Pass on the opposite side has not moved, which further deepened Zhao Mu's inner uneasiness, and the spies have been sent out in an endless stream, but the news brought back has never changed, the Qin army gathered in Hangu Pass in large numbers, the Qin army general Win Teng, and Li Xin are all in Hangu Pass.
The battle of Yanzhao has begun, but the Qin army on the opposite side still has no signs of making a move, but on the other side of Daijun, the Xiongnu invaded on a large scale, and Daijun has lost most of it. Gongzilan's private army can only be trapped in one fortified city after another, allowing the Xiongnu to wreak havoc in the territory, but fortunately, there are some arrangements in advance, and what can be done now is only to minimize the losses. The Xiongnu army is about to arrive at the Xiling of Daijun, and it should come to an end.
Zhao Mu sighed, this time the arrangement, King Zhao is indeed hiding his selfishness in his heart, after this battle, Gongzilan's strength will be greatly reduced, for this, Zhao Mu has nothing to say, politics is like this.
Perhaps, this is also a good thing for Zilan, his strength is too strong, it is indeed an unstable factor for Zhao Guo, even if Zilan himself has no ideas, but he can't keep his subordinates, his successors have no ideas, as the general of Zhao State, for the sake of Zhao State, he can only acquiesce to King Zhao's strategy of killing two birds with one stone this time.
The spring sun is shining, and the grass is growing and flying, which is a good time to step into spring, but Zhao Mu has no mood to go out for a walk, nesting in the big tent, holding a military book in his hand, his eyes are staring at the book, but in fact, he didn't read a word.
What is the state of Qin going to do? Why is there no movement? For Li Xin and Ying Teng, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, if there were generals in this world who could make Zhao Muru face the enemy, these two people must be the most headache for him.
Could it be that Li Xin Yingteng gathered the army just to drag himself in Hangu Pass, and then see the excitement? This is not in line with Qin Jun's consistent style, how could they let go of such a good opportunity? Completely defeating the Zhao State was something that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State dreamed of.
Chaotic footsteps and noisy voices suddenly sounded outside the tent, Zhao Mu's brows furrowed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, he governed the army very strictly, and it was strictly forbidden to make noise in the barracks, what were these people doing outside? With a snap, he threw the military book on top of the big case.
The soldiers standing beside him immediately walked out of the city in a conscious manner.
After a while, the soldiers turned back, but their faces were a little pale, behind him, followed by a general of the Zhao army, and behind this general, several people who looked like sentry horses were carrying a wounded man dressed in Qin army clothes, and blood was dripping from the wounded.
Zhao Muhuo sat up straight, this general of the Zhao army was his cavalry general An Hao.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mu asked.
"General, I sent a patrol sentry to the camp fifty miles away, and when I encountered this person being chased and killed, I killed those pursuers and rescued this person. An Hao took a step forward and put the dozen or so brands in his hand on Zhao Mu's table. I thought it might be a big deal, so I brought him to report to the general."
The dark iron brand, the gilded handwriting, looking at the style, is indeed the identity nameplate of the Black Ice Platform, this thing, Zhao Mu has seen a lot before.
"The person the Black Ice Terrace wants to kill?" He glanced at the wounded man carried by the sentry riders, "Who is he?"
"Tiger and Leopard Ride!" An Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This person only told me that his name is Iron Hammer, and he wanted to see you, so he fainted."
Zhao Mu's face changed suddenly, he knew that the Iron Hammer, this was just a code name, and he was the most successful spy in the Qin army that Zhao Guo's tiger and leopard cavalry had planted, and he heard that he had already become the captain of the Qin army's standing army. Although he hadn't seen Tie Hammer himself, he knew the existence of such a person.
The most successful spy has now given up everything in the Qin State, and if he escapes back like this, it must be a big incident.
"Get a doctor, quick, get me all the doctors. Wake him up!" Zhao Mu yelled.
A group of doctors with the army rushed in, Zhao Mu swept away everything on the big case, put the person codenamed Iron Hammer on top of the big case, watching the doctors rescue, Zhao Mu frowned, paced back and forth in the big tent, and looked up from time to time to look at the unconscious injured on the big case.
There must have been some great change, otherwise with Iron Hammer's current position in the Qin army, he would never act so rashly, he didn't even hide his whereabouts, and was actually noticed by the people of the Black Ice Platform and was hunted down, Iron Hammer has been in Qin for more than ten years, and his whereabouts have always been extremely well hidden.
As time passed, Zhao Mu's footsteps became more and more competitive, and the doctors' faces were already beads of sweat.
Finally, with a long, low sigh, all the doctors were relieved, this guy finally woke up, just wake up, as for how long he can live, they don't think about it so much now, as long as he wakes up now and says what he has to say, that's good, this guy is too badly injured, whether he can survive or not, it depends on his luck.
Zhao Mu rushed to the front of the big case with one arrow step." Iron Hammer, I'm Zhao Mu!" He said loudly.
The man on the desk slowly opened his eyes, and the focus of his eyes slowly gathered, regaining his luster little by little.
"I'm Zhao Mu!" The sound rushed into his ears, and his body suddenly trembled, and he stretched out a hand to grab something.
Zhao Mu clutched the hand that was in the air tightly, "Iron Hammer, what do you want to say, what do you want to tell me?"
"General!" The voice was extremely low, Zhao Mu leaned down, put his ear to the mouth of the hammer, and listened to the other party's intermittent, almost incomprehensible words.
Li Xin is not in Hangu Pass!
The main force of the Qin army went to fight the Huns!
Iron Hammer was still in a semi-coma, but Zhao Mu still quickly sorted out a clue from his intermittent narration.
Like a thunderbolt roaring in his ears, Zhao Mu's body shook for a moment, and he almost fell headlong in the big tent.
Li Xin led the main force of the Qin army to deal with the Huns, where are the Huns, the main force of the Huns is now fighting Daijun, and they have penetrated hundreds of miles into Daijun.
Of course, the Qin army would not be so kind to help Zhao eliminate the invading enemy, they wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the trouble in the backyard first, and then they could go east wholeheartedly.
In an instant, Zhao Mu figured out the intentions of the Qin State. There is no such a good chance to be good, the Xiongnu thought that Qin was going to fight Zhao, Zhao himself thought so, everyone in the world thought so, but Qin ignored Zhao and went to copy the Xiongnu's nest.
In order to achieve this goal, they dared to put an empty plan in front of them, and they were actually deceived for so long, Zhao Mu sighed, preconceived, everyone took it for granted.
Li Xin led the main force of the Qin army to deal with the Xiongnu, and had great hopes of success, what if he succeeded? Zhao Mu didn't dare to think about it, Daijun was empty, Li Xin could take advantage of the victory over the Huns, wave his troops and go straight to Daijun, once Daijun was lost, what role could the Hedong camp have? The State of Qin opened another door against the State of Zhao.
Zhao Mu was drenched in cold sweat.
The hammer fainted again, and the doctors carried him out of Zhao Mu's Chinese army tent. Sitting in the bloodstained tent, Zhao Mu's hands were trembling slightly, at this time, he had calmed down a little from the shock in front of him, but he thought more.
Outside the big tent, the drums of the gathered generals had already sounded twice, and there were already messy footsteps outside the tent, and a little farther away, there was the sound of thunderous horses' hooves.
What Iron Hammer said, if it is true, then Qin Jun did play a big game of chess with a great focus on the world, but what if it is fake? What if they already knew Hammer's identity and deliberately let him leak the news? Li Xin is still in Hanguguan, all of this is a scam, a scam against himself?
Zhao Mu found that he suddenly fell into a dilemma. The safest thing is to wait for the news from the Huns, but if you wait for the news, will you still be in time? (To be continued.)
