Chapter 359: Jicheng Heroic Land
Jicheng, the city that once served as the city of the king of Yan. It is destined to go down in history for a crucial war. The decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops is not only a severe test, but also a rare glory.
In this world, there has never been a famous general who has won a hundred battles, let alone a darling who has always been favored by God. Li Mu, who stood out from an ordinary soldier and stepped into today's status step by step, understands this truth better than anyone else. As one of the generals most valued by King Zhao, his honor and exploits all come from iron-blooded and ten-thousand-horse competition.
To this day, Li Mu, who is titled the General of the Condor, can definitely afford the personal praise of King Zhao.
"Qing is plugged on the Great Wall, and the eagle is in the air. Wolves, tigers and leopards, none of them can enter!"
Death for a confidant. Chu Lie, the king of Zhao, had a good eye and promoted him from the micro end to a general, and Chu Jiangmian made his talents to the extreme. Since General Li Mu has been favored by two generations of kings, he has already made his sword clear under the vast sky in the north.
"Guard the frontier as a king. Man is such a sword, although frost, rain and snow do not extinguish its light. People are in the sword, and the sword is dead, and people are ......!"
Ten years of drinking ice, Shuo Feng Iron Armor cold. In the past few years, no matter how many hardships and hardships have been experienced, no matter how complicated the situation has been. Li Mu has always firmly held this belief in his heart. No regrets.
The reason why this vast area, which originally belonged to the Yan Kingdom, was completely calmed down in just a few years. General Li Mu's contribution is great! Under his rigid and soft rule, thousands of people soon returned to their hearts. As for the remnants of those princes and nobles, even if they were unwilling, they quickly dispelled the idea of wanting to resurrect. Because, in the face of this famous general who is both civil and military, all of them understand a truth. As long as this person stands on the northern land for a day, he does not think that someone can stir up the storm.
The descendants of the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, who were full of hatred in their hearts, had no choice but to go into exile or lurk deeply. Zhao's armies patrolled the land in iron armor, and everything prospered day by day within the protection of their long swords. If this continues, the desire to restore the country or make a comeback will never be realized!
But who could have imagined that overnight, the situation would change abruptly. The descendants of the Yan nobles, who were almost dead, suddenly found that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came to them in this way. In an instant, their ambitions swelled again.
Soon, the envoy from the bitter cold land of Liaodong secretly sneaked back to Jicheng. Back then, the crown prince of Yan had sent assassins to assassinate the king of Zhao, which had caused serious consequences. After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, members of the royal family were killed with iron blood. Under the personal orders of General Li Mu, almost none of the slightly influential sons were able to escape the pursuit of Zhao Guo's iron cavalry. These soldiers, who almost worshiped Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, used ruthless means to make the entire Yan royal family suffer a catastrophe.
And the two young sons who escaped by luck finally escaped with great difficulty under the desperate protection of the loyal Yan Kingdom Deadpool. They ran far away to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, because the ice and snow blocked the hooves of Zhao Jun's horses, and finally saved their lives temporarily.
And today, when the news spread that the Hu people and the Qin army jointly attacked the Zhao State, the young princes and followers of the Yan State, who had already made a blood oath to stand with the King of Zhao, immediately took action. On the one hand, they sent people to contact King Hu. On the other hand, send emissaries back to Jicheng to contact the secret forces who are still loyal to the royal family.
The envoy was also a member of the nobles of the Yan royal family. As the high-ranking people in the past, they used to be able to walk sideways on the streets of Jicheng. However, now they have to lurk in the dark like gray rats. This kind of taste is not pleasant in the heart of this man who changed his name to "Yan Xue Shame".
In order to cover people's eyes and ears, try not to expose the target. This time, he only brought two personal masters, and in accordance with the order of the young master, he came back to convene the old ministry and plan to restore the country. And Yan Xue Yan herself is also a master of using swords. After entering Jicheng in the middle of the night, he carried the iron sword on his back and glanced at the former palace with mixed feelings. I heard that the atmosphere of wealth is no longer there, and it has been transformed into a trading place for commodity circulation...... If you go, it's just sad, don't look at it!
The spies of the Zhao State are pervasive, and their methods are extremely powerful. Yan Xueyi and the two entourages did not dare to stay for a long time, and soon disappeared into the night. Soon after, they appeared in a secret mansion.
The mansion was unremarkable, and on the outside it looked like a medium-sized family at best. However, in fact, this is a secret gathering place for the descendants of the nobles of the Yan Kingdom. In the backyard of this mansion, there are tunnels that lead to all sides. Whenever there is any trouble, they come here to discuss countermeasures.
And today, with the arrival of the Young Lord's envoy, they seem to have seen hope of restoring their former glory. One hundred and ten people gathered here, and everyone had a look of excitement on their faces.
These people lurk in Jicheng in various capacities, and the sources are a little closed after all. At this moment, listening to this envoy tell them about the situation in the world in this hall with his own ears, his blood boiled.
"It turns out that Zhao Guo has reached such a situation! Qin is known as the world's most powerful country, this time the country's troops are moving eastward, such as Mount Tai pressing the top, what will Zhao use to block? If you add Hu Qi to the south, you will be attacked from both sides...... If the country of Zhao does not perish, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
"Hahaha! This is really self-inflicted, and you can't live! Chu Jiangmian is a child, and his death is approaching!"
"And that Li Mu! Don't forget that his hands are stained with royal blood. If this man is defeated and captured one day, we must cut him with a thousand knives, and it will be difficult to understand the hatred in our hearts!"
"Don't worry! This executioner can't run. Since he is in Jicheng...... We're going to make this his burial place! The young master's order, everyone should carry it out well. If necessary, by any means, victory in this war will also be guaranteed. ”
Everyone was gossiping and angry. The tone was full of hatred for King Zhao and the people of Zhao State. No matter how much that young man brings to the people here, they can turn a blind eye. Because, he ruthlessly deprived them of their special rights as nobles. This kind of hatred is not shared with the sky, and it is not life and death that is difficult to solve.
But there are a few people who still keep their senses. They looked at each other, their eyes full of worry. Finally, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, someone couldn't help but whisper.
"What does the young master mean, is it for us to contact the Hu people? However, the people of Yandi have been poisoned by Hu Qi for a hundred years, and countless people have died under their iron hooves. Such hatred has been indispelling for generations...... Alas! If we help the Hu people capture Jicheng, then these tigers and wolves burn and plunder, who can stop them? It is to be expected that this place will become a land of blood and fire, and will we all become the worst of our sinners? ”
However, such voices are destined to go unheeded. How can guys, who are blinded by hatred, tolerate someone to shake the morale of the army at this time? Hearing only an angry shout, Yan Xue frowned angrily, pointed at the one who spoke just now, and reprimanded loudly.
"You're still not a descendant of the royal family? When the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, how did these people treat us, have you forgotten? Now that they are surrounded by the Zhao people, they have long forgotten the grace of the previous king to them. These guys should have died a long time ago! Even if we drive out the Zhao army, they will not rejoin from the bottom of their hearts. Rather than this, it is better to borrow the hands of the Hu people to clean it up thoroughly! What is the value of the lives of these untouchables? Just like spring grass, once the stubble is cut, the stubble will regenerate. Will there still be a shortage of people for us to drive in the future? Hmph!"
Yan Xue stroked the iron sword in her hand, and her eyes showed murderous intentions. Many agreed in unison. That's what they think in their hearts. The lives of the untouchables have never been fate, only they, the descendants of the nobility, have always been the rulers of the land! In such an atmosphere, others did not dare to say anything more. That night, they quickly reached a consensus and immediately organized all the forces. A secret force of nearly 5,000 men, heavily armed, lurks throughout the city, ready to heed the call.
Yan Xueyi, who carried the order of the young master of Yan Kingdom, became the direct commander of this force. He looked at the hundred and ten leaders who came to him, all of them fierce men with fierce eyes, and couldn't help but nod, very satisfied.
"After accomplishing great things, you are all meritorious people who have restored the country. The young master has orders, but there are meritorious deeds, and they are all rewarded. 10,000 taels of gold, 100 acres of fertile land, you can have whatever you want! If any of you can kill Li Mu and other generals of the Zhao State, make you a marquis, and glorify your family...... Never break your word!"
These little bosses are warriors who are not afraid of death. The so-called wealth is in danger! Hearing the promise of the young envoy, everyone's eyes shot with greed. So they drank the blood wine together and swore on the spot.
"Kill Zhao Jun! Restore the ...... of Yan Kingdom!"
Yan Xueyi, who was loyal to the dead soldiers, and the descendants of the nobles were relieved. They also drank the blood oath together and began to go their separate ways.
Li Mu is sitting in Jicheng, this news is true, and there is no need to doubt it. Moreover, he only had 80,000 Zhao troops on hand. If you want to use these troops to block the 300,000 iron cavalry personally led by King Hu Moke, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car, and you can't do it yourself!
"Li Mu, I'm afraid you never thought of it! Just a hundred feet away from your general's mansion, the person who killed you is already ready with a knife! Hahaha!"
Yan Xueyi, who had arranged everything, jumped on the high place, and almost couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. When the inside and outside joined forces to capture Jicheng, he was very eager to cut off the head of the famous general of Zhao with his iron sword!
