Chapter 810: Entering the Yan Kingdom (Chapter 3)
On the day after the murderous document was released, Zhao Dan convened the important ministers of Zhao in the main hall of Longtai and held a military meeting.
This time, Zhao Dan obviously seemed to have been angered by Jing Ke's assassination, so he didn't give any important ministers a chance to perform, so he directly set the tone: "Zhuqing, there is only one goal in this war, and that is to destroy the Yan Kingdom!" The widow wants everyone to know that he used such despicable and shameless means to deal with the fate of the widow and Zhao Guo! ”
Zhao Dan was very angry, very angry.
Although he had seen the story of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin in the history books, although Zhao Dan knew very well in his heart that many people wanted their lives, but when an assassin really appeared in front of Zhao Dan and tried to drag Zhao Dan into hell, Zhao Dan still felt very unhappy.
Since I feel very unhappy, then this time someone will definitely be unlucky, very unlucky.
If this unlucky country is still a country, a country that can be used by Zhao Dan to expand its territory, then it would be the best.
After thinking about it, Zhao Dan immediately made a decision: "This time to attack Yan Kingdom, with Pang Xuan as the main general and Ju Xin as the deputy general, lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to go, we must take Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop, and don't give the people of Yan Country any chance to turn around!" In addition, General Lian Po was in charge of sitting in Handan, guarding against possible attacks from Han, Chu, and Qi; Le Cheng went to guard the east of the river and was responsible for guarding against possible attacks from the Qin state; Zheng Zhu, you immediately sent envoys to the kings of various countries, telling them that the widow does not want to dare to help Yan in any country he sees, understand? ”
After Zhao Dan's series of orders continued, all the ministers of Zhao State received orders one after another, and no one dared to question Zhao Dan's orders.
According to common sense, Lian Po is now the number one person in the Zhao military, this time Zhao Dan did not choose to let him fight, everyone felt that even if he did not question Zhao Dan's order on the spot, then he should be a little dissatisfied.
But this time, the other important ministers really just thought wrong.
General Lian Po listened to Zhao Dan's order very calmly, and then accepted Zhao Dan's order very calmly, without any dissatisfaction or complaint on his face, and it didn't seem that he had the slightest intention of disobeying Zhao Dan's order.
Not only that, but even Lian Po's loyal allies Yu Xin and Li Bo were silent, putting on a submissive attitude, and it seemed that they didn't want to fight for their allies to win this opportunity to destroy the Yan Kingdom's troops.
As for the Gong clan faction on Zhao Sheng's side, they were naturally overjoyed, after all, Pang Xuan became the main general, and this credit must be indispensable.
Speaking of which, Pang Xuan has also defeated the Yan State many times, and Ji Xin was also the minister of the Yan State back then, if these two people led the army to attack, it is indeed more certain.
Twenty days later, 200,000 Zhao troops marched north towards the border of Yan under the leadership of Pang Xuan and Ji Xin.
At the beginning of March, Pang Xuan and Ju Xin led the Zhao army to arrive at the border between the current Yan State and the Zhao State, and then crossed the Beiyi River, broke through the Southern Great Wall arranged by the Yan State here, and successfully entered Linle City, the core area of the Du Kang Land.
And the people of Yan are obviously prepared, under Linle City, the Xiang Bang Lejian of Yan State led the troops of Yan State, and 200,000 troops are also stationed here, ready to live and die with this city.
The battle of Zhao to destroy Yan began.
This battle is destined to be a very difficult battle.
Although the strength of the Yan people is far inferior to that of the Zhao State, under the deliberate propaganda of the music room, everyone knows that the people of the Zhao Kingdom are here to destroy the Yan Kingdom this time.
You must know that the overlord Qi State in the past has tried against Yan State many times without success, and one of the very important reasons is that the Yan people have developed a strong character after living in a bitter cold place for a long time.
Although the Yan army has always been the last among the seven heroes of the entire Warring States, the fierceness of the Yan people is also undoubted, so the enthusiasm of the Yan people for sticking to their homeland is very high.
Under such circumstances, Pang Xuan's successive tentative attacks were repelled by the Yan army led by Lejian, and Lejian occupied the advantage of the city, but there was no good way for Pang Xuan to do it all of a sudden.
But Pang Xuanle didn't have a good way, but it didn't mean that Zhao Guo really had no way to take Yan Guo.
At about the same time that Pang Xuan set out on the expedition, Li Mu, another and only important minister who was far away in the northwest of Zhao State and was absent from the Handan military conference of Zhao State, also received an urgent order of 800 li from the capital of Handan.
After receiving this order, Li Mu immediately gathered several of his henchmen and generals and announced such a matter to them.
"Second and third sons, now go back and pack your bags and get ready to go!"
Several henchmen and generals knew that there was a battle to fight when they heard this, and immediately laughed and said: "Dadu Governor, which Hu people are you going to attack this time, are you going to fight the Wusun people?" ”
Li Mu smiled, glanced at the "messenger" Zhao Kuo who was standing aside, and then said: "Listen to me, this time, we are going to participate in the battle to destroy the Yan Kingdom!" ”
As soon as Li Mu's words came out, several other generals of Zhao State were immediately overjoyed.
You must know that for a long time, due to the attacks of various Hu people in the north, such as the existence of nomads such as the Xiongnu Yueshi and Wusun, the border cavalry corps led by Li Mu usually had at least half of the troops to be stationed on the long Great Wall defense line of the Zhao State.
Therefore, in the past time, every time there was a big battle, the border cavalry corps could only send half of its troops to let Li Mu take him south, and he couldn't go too far south, otherwise it would be difficult to return in time once it was invaded by other nomads.
But now, through the wars in the past few years, the northern frontier cavalry army of Zhao State, under the leadership of Li Mu, first defeated the Yueshi and then defeated Wusun, and now the Xiongnu have basically been included in the command, completely reversing the whole situation.
Although there are still some tribes in the vast Monan grassland that are unwilling to obey Zhao's orders or even choose to rebel against Zhao, in general, there is no army on this grassland that can make Zhao fearful.
The chains that had bound the Frontier Cavalry for so long were finally completely untied after this battle.
Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao State in Handan could not ignore this army of tigers and wolves, so it was a foregone conclusion that Li Mu's border cavalry corps would participate in the war to destroy the Yan State.
Five days later, Li Mu gathered a full 10,000 cavalry of the Zhao Army and began to march eastward.
Shuofang County, Hetao County, Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Yanmen County...... As Li Mu went all the way to the east, cavalry continued to join his command, and the size of the entire army quickly swelled like a snowball, until when Li Mu arrived at the easternmost border of Yanmen County and Yanzhao, the scale of the cavalry under his command had reached as many as 40,000.
It was at this time that Li Mu once again summoned all the generals under his command and made a decision that surprised everyone.
I saw Li Mu said to all the generals of the Zhao State Border Cavalry Regiments in front of him with a radiant expression: "I have already decided, and I will start dividing my troops from tomorrow!" Zhao Kuo, Ru was responsible for leading 30,000 cavalry to continue eastward, passing through Yanmen Mountain and through Daijun to attack Huai'an and Xuanhua of Yan State. Once you have occupied these two places, you will continue to go south and join General Pang Xuan to besiege General Yan in Linle City, so be sure not to let it run away! ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads and agreed with Li Mu's strategy, in fact, this is also the most secure plan.
But there are also people who have questions, such as Zhao Kuo, who couldn't help but ask: "In that case, then dare to ask where the Metropolitan Governor is going to lead the remaining 10,000 cavalry?" ”
Li Mu smiled, and suddenly slammed his fist on a place on the map: "Wait, look here." ”
As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, everyone turned their eyes to the direction pointed by Li Mu, and then found that this place turned out to be ......
"This is the border between the Yan Kingdom and the Donghu people!" Zhao Kuo's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor is going to go around to the territory of Donghu this time and go south from the prairie to launch an attack on the Yan people?" ”
Li Mu laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. Judging from what I have learned these days, the Yan people basically put all their main forces on the Linle battlefield in the southwest, so their Great Wall defense line in the north must be full of holes at this moment, which is simply a great opportunity for our cavalry! I will lead the 10,000 cavalry under my command to pass through the Monan grassland, and then break through the Great Wall of Yan from the area of Zaoyang, and go all the way south from Yuyang County and Shanggu County of Yan Kingdom, and finally ......"
Li Mu pointed his finger vigorously at the thistle capital of Yan Kingdom: "This is it!" ”
At this moment, everyone understood that Li Mu was planning to repeat the surprise attack tactics of the last time against the Qin State, and wanted to surprise attack Jidu in one fell swoop!
Zhao Kuo was still a little worried, this time Zhao Kuo was ordered to be Li Mu's deputy general, he didn't want Li Mu to fight so risky, so he said to Li Mu: "Governor Dadu, having said that, but this time the plan to attack Jidu may not be successful, and I ask the Governor to discuss it in the long run." ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "General Zhao Kuo is too worried, I have attacked Jidu this time, it is best to be able to take it, but if I can't take it, it will not hurt." ”
Looking at the puzzled eyes of Zhao Kuo and the generals, Li Mu continued: "You wait and think about it, as long as I lead 10,000 cavalry to appear under Jidu, then the high-level of Yan State will definitely be in chaos, and it is very likely that the Lejian Department in front will be sent back to help. ”
When Li Mu said this, Zhao Kuo's eyes immediately lit up: "But at that time, Lejian had already been surrounded by General Pang Xuan and us in Linle City. ”
Li Mu nodded and smiled: "That's right." So when the time comes, the music will be in a dilemma. If he chooses to break through and return to Jidu, then it is very likely that he will be defeated by General Pang Xuan's pursuit of victory. If he doesn't retreat, then I can copy his back road, so that he can no longer get the slightest supply, and it is even possible to break through Jidu and capture his queen mother and king alive. Tell me, how should you choose the music room when the time comes? ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu glanced at each other and laughed out loud in unison.
After a while, the laughter gradually subsided, Zhao Kuo straightened up slightly, and saluted Li Mu and said: "Since this is the case, then my subordinates wish the general success and victory this time!" ”
