The next morning, Li Mu led his army of 20,000 cavalry to continue south.

From the perspective of regional division, the place where Li Mu is located at the moment is not only the former Xihe County of the Wei State, but also the Shangjun County of the Qin State today.

The entire Shangjun of the Qin State actually belongs to a vast and sparsely populated area.

After all, this was once the territory of the Yiqu people, and the Yiqu people had already been almost annexed by the Qin people.

The other, but also the most important, reason is that it is too close to the Hetao area, which was originally occupied by the Ringhu people.

A place that has been plagued by Hu people for many years is obviously impossible to expect to be inhabited by too many people.

However, such a place actually has certain benefits for Li Mu.

In a place like Handan, where there are many people and many eyes, even the movement of 500 troops cannot hide the eyes and ears of those who have a heart.

But in places like Hetao and Shangjun, as long as there are enough people, any information and intelligence can be blocked.

As for the method of blocking the news, it is actually very simple, you only need to release the scouts far away for dozens of miles, and then kill all those who do not belong to the Zhao army.

Under Li Mu's harsh order, 20,000 Zhao cavalry leveled all the villages they saw along the way, killing every Qin person they met who might deliver a message, thus perfectly achieving the goal of making the Qin people not know the specific situation of this northern Zhao army at all.

At noon on this day, a scout came to Li Mu, first gave a military salute, and then shouted to Li Mu: "General, fifty miles ahead is Gao Nu!" ”

Li Mu nodded slightly, took out a rather old-looking map from his bosom and looked at it for a moment, and suddenly issued an order: "Pass the order, the whole army will turn to the southwest!" ”

"Huh?" As soon as Li Mu gave this order, many of the generals around him were a little confused, and their faces showed extremely surprised expressions.

For the surprised looks of these generals, Li Mu certainly saw it in his eyes, but he didn't have any desire to explain.

According to common sense, if Li Mu wants to go south to help Lian Po, then he should go all the way south through Gaonu, Guyang, Diaoyin, Peng Ya, Wang, and Yuanli, or go south along Fanpang and Shaoliang, so as to be able to give Wang Yilai, who is confronting Lian Po in Wangcheng, a hard stab from the side, so as to help the main force of Zhao led by General Lian Po.

But while this route may seem like the most recent choice, it has its own problems.

The problem was that this route had to pass through too many Qin cities along the way, and the 20,000 cavalry under Li Mu lacked the heavy weapons necessary for the siege, and most of them were light cavalry without any armor.

Let the light cavalry dismount and take bows and arrows to attack the city, which will definitely make Li Mu a laughing stock in the history books.

Li Mu believed that if Xianyang knew that there was a cavalry of the Zhao army going south from Hetao County, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State would definitely hope that Li Mu would choose this road that seemed to be a flat river, but in fact it was full of dangers.

So of course Li Mu wouldn't do this.

Li Mu has his own opinions.

Li Mu planned to bypass Luoshui and follow Luoshui all the way from the west bank of Luoshui, not caring about Lian Po or Wang Di, who were fighting fiercely in the eastern part of the Guanzhong Plain, but going straight to the core area of the Guanzhong of the Qin State!

What's even more wonderful is that unlike the hometown of Xihe County on the east bank of Luoshui, which was once run by the Wei State, there are almost no decent Qin cities in these hundreds of miles on the west bank of Luoshui.

If everything goes well, two days or three days later, Li Mu will be able to lead the 20,000 cavalry under his command to appear in the hinterland of the Qin people, and give the most precious Guanzhong Basin of the Qin State a hard blow!

Strictly speaking, this is not Li Mu's proposition.

This proposition came from the ancient map in Li Mu's arms, and this ancient map was sent to Li Mu by Zhao Dan.

But Zhao Dan was not the author of this map.

The author of this map is Zhao Dan's grandfather, the famous King Zhao Wuling!

The route that Li Mu is taking now is the route that the ambitious King Zhao Wuling personally surveyed and drew after Hu Fu rode and shot thousands of miles to expand the land!

At that time, King Wuling of Zhao set out from Yunzhong County, went south along the west bank of Luoshui, and finally arrived in Xianyang, and then met with Qin Wangji in the name of the envoy of Zhao, and finally left with a swagger.

If it weren't for the tragedy of the Dune Palace Change, which ultimately led to the great loss of Zhao Guo's vitality, then perhaps the iron hooves of Zhao Guo's cavalry would have already stepped into the hinterland of Guanzhong along the route that King Zhao Wuling personally walked.

But, what should come will always come.

The great King of Martial Arts, his efforts were not in vain, after the death of King Wuling of Zhao for thirty-eight years, a young general of Zhao finally led 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhao to set foot on this land, and will use this map drawn by King Wuling of Zhao himself as a guide to smash the Yellow Dragon!

Li Muzhen put away the map and looked up at the sky.

A scorching sun was in the middle of the sky, and the dazzling light made Li Mu unable to open his eyes at all.

Wasn't King Zhao Wuling so dazzling and unbeatable?

But it is such an immortal hero, but when he was in his prime, he was besieged in the Dune Palace by Si Kou Li Dui and Gongzi Cheng for more than three months, starving to death!

Li Mu, who was on horseback, closed his eyes and prayed secretly in his heart.

"King Wuling, if there is a spirit in the sky, please protect our horses to success, and protect Zhao Guo to win this battle!"

When he opened his eyes, Li Mu's eyes glowed with incomparably brightness.

"Send the order down, send 2,000 cavalry all the way down the southeast of Luoshui, make a big noise along the way, and make sure that the people of the Qin State are our main force! The remaining 18,000 cavalry turned to the southwest with me, and did not dismount until sunset, and pointed straight at Guanzhong! ”

Under Li Mu's order, 18,000 cavalry changed direction with billowing smoke and dust, like a long black dragon turning to the southwest.

As Sun Tzu's Art of War: The Strength of the Soldiers said: "All those who fight will win with the right and the odd." The disease of the torrent, as for the drifters, the potential is also; The disease of the bird, as for the destroyer, the festival also. Therefore, those who are good at fighting are dangerous, and their knots are short. The momentum is like an expanding crossbow, and the knots are like a start. ”

Now, Li Mu is going to lead the 20,000 cavalry under his command to act as a surprise army that makes the Qin people completely unexpected to go south, suddenly appear in a place that the Qin people are completely unexpected, and then give the Qin State a completely unexpected "surprise!" ”

Li Mu galloped on his horse, with only one thought in his heart.

"Target - Oak Sun!"
