Chapter 274: The Great Condor General

Li Mu, who temporarily transferred his base camp to Jicheng, has actually been very busy recently. There were very few times when he was able to return to Jicheng. Most days, he went to the various counties of Yandi to inspect the counties.

Since the capture of Jicheng and the hasty escape of the Yan royal family, it can basically be said that the overall situation has been decided. And it was from that time that Li Mu and Murong left the city to divide labor. He sat in Jicheng, dispatched all directions, and began to deal with all kinds of aftermath matters in this occupied land. Murong Licheng led the Tiger Ben army under his command to continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy and clear the battlefield.

Among the five generals who would later be called the most famous of the empire, Li Mu was the most modest and peaceful, but also the most low-key. But his achievements are the most comprehensive and breathtaking.

And this famous general with the style of a humble gentleman, the most praised by the world is his character. Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, once praised him on a public occasion: "General Li's demeanor is like a divine eagle in the same heaven, flying independently and overlooking the world. Its graceful state is admirable. ”

King Zhao's evaluation is very fair and recognized by the world. Of course, this is a long time later. As for Li Mu, who had just been worshiped as the Condor General by King Zhao Chu Jiang Mianfeishu, he just felt that the weight on his shoulders was very heavy now, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.

Everyone in Zhao knows that King Zhao, who had just ascended the throne, once personally ordered someone to cast five general seals and give them names. The first two, namely the dragon cavalry general seal and the tiger general seal, at the critical time when the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhao, the king of Zhao, Chu Jiangmian, took the stage to pay respects to the generals, and gave Long Yu and Murong to leave the city respectively. And the two of them also lived up to expectations, leading the cavalry of Zhao State to make special contributions in those magnificent battles, and made their own contributions to the protection of the people of Zhao State.

Not long ago, this third general seal was specially sent by King Zhao to bring it to Yandi. And in front of the Jicheng Yan Palace, in front of everyone, he ceremoniously bestowed Li Mu and worshiped him as the general of the Condor, such a glory is naturally extremely precious.

All the soldiers under his command were even more rejoicing. Because, it means that from now on, they finally have the name of their own army. That's the Condor! And the profound meaning in the name given by King Zhao has already been explained to them by General Li Mu. That is to say, in the near future, they will be able to use the supreme momentum of the eagle falcon to try their wings, and go to kill the wolves on the northern grassland, so that they will no longer dare to easily cross the border and do evil.

Such an expectation or mission will undoubtedly make people's blood boil for all the officers and men of the Condor Army. The brutal enemy on the grassland is a nightmare for the kind people of the Central Plains for a hundred years. It would be very exciting if that goal could be achieved one day.

And Li Mu, who accepted the title of Condor General, has been even busier these days. As the commander of the battlefield who is destined to fight to the death with the Hu people in the future, he knows better than anyone that there are still many things to prepare for if he wants to shoulder this difficult mission. In any way, this land that is about to belong to the territory of the Zhao State will definitely become the front line of the contest with the Hu people. Brutal battles and fierce battlefields are inevitable. And in order to reduce as few casualties and losses as possible in the future, he must plan ahead and plan ahead.

On the other hand, the purpose of his taking over all the messy affairs was also to allow Murong to leave the city to concentrate more on military operations. The land of Yan that has just been occupied is not peaceful. In order to prevent the people loyal to the Yan royal family from coming back and resurrecting, the Tiger Ben army personally led by Murong Licheng is carrying out a severe clean-up operation.

And Li Mu, who hurried back to Jicheng this time, wanted to discuss a major matter with Murong Licheng, who came back from the northeast at the same time. This is a very important matter. The two of them had to make a quick decision, because time was pressing, and the military situation was like a fire, and there was no delay for a moment.

Jicheng, the capital of the Yan king, like several other big cities, was quickly properly governed after being controlled by the Zhao army, and settled down in the shortest possible time. Li Mu naturally paid a lot in this. On the other hand, Zhao was able to quickly send people to take over, which also played an indispensable role.

In this regard, it is completely dependent on the legacy left by the ancestor Chu Lie. That open-minded heroic figure has reserved a large number of talents for Zhao Guo over the years. Once there is a need, it can be quickly used for oneself. The so-called prosperity of talent is sometimes more important than the strength of military power. This is also a major reason for the strength of the Zhao State.

Li Mu is very satisfied with the current stability, which also gives him great confidence in the upcoming military operation. Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but if he sent troops and horses back to aid Zhao Guo now, would it cause some chaos in Yandi to reappear. And according to the overall situation of his inspection this time, it is unlikely that this situation will occur. So, when he entered Jicheng at dusk, he had already decided.

Murong left the city not much earlier than he returned. When the two met, Li Mu saw that the young general's face was a little rough. Obviously, this is the result of months of battle. The wind, sand and frost in the north made the boy's face begin to become angular. While gradually fading away from that bit of childish atmosphere, it looks even more heroic and sharp, as if the cold light of the sheath can naturally destroy the opponent's courage.

"General Murong, Zhao Guo is in big trouble. Wei Wushu raided and entered, and 80,000 heavy troops approached Longcheng. Presumably, in the past few days, the siege battle has begun...... We have to go back to help!"

The two of them fought side by side and already had a good tacit understanding. Although I didn't see each other for many days, I didn't say too much to greet. Li Mu went straight to the point and told the other party the emergency military information from Dragon City concisely.

Murong had already roughly known a little on the way from the city. He didn't ask much about the rest, looked up at Li Mu's eyes, and said directly.

"How to do it, presumably General Li already has a detailed plan. Tell the whole story!"

Li Mu nodded yes. Then the two of them turned around and walked to the middle of the battle sand table, Li Mu groaned, stretched out his hand and pointed to the terrain above and said.

"On the king's side, there was news a few days ago that they were preparing for a decisive battle with the Qin State and the princes' armies. The Zhongzhou campaign is a matter of great importance. I believe that the king must have the certainty of victory, so the decisive battle began so quickly...... Let's hope he can win the battle! In that case, the situation will be very different. ”

Li Mu's eyes sparkled. Whether it was him or Murong leaving the city, they all had inexplicable confidence in Chu Jiangmian. That's how they believed, and no matter what miracle was done at the hands of that young man, it was not to be too surprised. Murong Licheng didn't seem to think much about it, he scratched his head and glanced at the criss-crossing sand table.

"Brother Sleep...... Of course he will win! We don't have to worry about the war in Zhongzhou. The Wei people chose to attack Dragon City at this time, obviously wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob. These guys must be taught a good lesson...... General Li, without further ado, I will immediately organize the Tiger Ben Army and prepare to set off overnight! ”

Needless to say, Murong Licheng already understood the task he was about to undertake. It seems that the Tiger Army will soon usher in a turbulent big war. Li Mu smiled lightly. The cooperation between him and the young general is really getting more and more tacit.

"In this way, General Murong and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army will have to work hard! I have ordered that all the horses that have been captured and collected these days be prepared, and there must be nearly 10,000 of them. The Tiger Army can choose from them for one person and two horses. In addition, the required weapons and equipment are also sufficient for the soldiers of the Tiger Army...... If the general has any other requests, he can ask them again, and I will do my best to meet them. ”

Murong Licheng shook his head. Li Mu had already prepared enough for him, and he didn't want anything else. In these days when the two of them cooperated, he charged through the enemy with a sharp spear, while the other party served as the most reliable backing, protecting the back of the Zhao army and becoming the safest barrier. Such affection for fighting side by side will be remembered in his heart.

"The land of swallows has been decided, and the situation is complicated. After I left, General Li was here alone to take charge of the overall situation, so I needed to be fully prepared. War horses and weapons and armor, the Tiger Ben Army is enough, and those are still left ....... ”

"No need to say more! General Murong, I hope you will go here to win and succeed! The siege of Dragon City is easily solved. On the day when you and the Tiger Ben Army achieve this great achievement, I will salute the cup at the head of Jicheng City, thinking that I will congratulate you! Hehe! ”

Li Mu was resolute. When Murong left the city and was about to say something more, a close guard outside had already hurried in with a messenger from thousands of miles. And so the exciting news came.

"Zhongzhou victory! Heaven helps! The tide of the Luo River rose and flooded the Seventh Army...... Qin and the princes' armies have become fish and shrimp. The king's plan is worry-free!"

Before Li Mu could finish reading, he was already pleasantly surprised, looking up to the sky and laughing. As a famous general with a very strong strategic vision, he has had mixed feelings since he knew Chu Jiangmian's true intentions. I have to say that the move of sending troops to Zhongzhou was originally an extremely risky military operation. If once it fails, not to mention the previous achievements, Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian is afraid that he will not be able to escape. And after suffering a heavy setback, how could the Zhao State withstand the next crazy attack of the princes and enemy countries!

And now, with the victory in the Battle of Zhongzhou, all these worries are not a problem. Since the most critical step has been won by a big victory, all the difficulties that will follow will be overwhelmed.

Murong left the city and said goodbye to each other. He jumped on his horse and led the heroic and invincible Tiger Ben soldiers to gallop away!
