"You're going to attack Xianyang City?" After hearing this, Yi Qusheng couldn't help but look at Li Mu with wide eyes, feeling that the old friend in front of him might not be very clear-headed.

No, his brain must have been broken.

Li Mu nodded very seriously, and said to Yi Qusheng: "That's right, judging from the current situation, attacking Xianyang City is the means that I can do now, and it will have the greatest impact on the battle situation." ”

Yi Qusheng couldn't help but shout: "But don't forget, you have already broken through Xianyang City last time!" This time, the people of the Qin State must have already been prepared, how could it be possible for you to continue to get the opportunity to break through Xianyang City? Unless the people of the Qin State are all fools! ”

Li Mu glanced at Yi Qusheng and did not speak.

Yiqu Sheng said: "Why don't you speak? ”

"I don't talk to fools."

“……”

At this moment, the Hu Yiwei who had just become Li Mu's personal guard for a few days suddenly appeared in front of Li Mu, and respectfully delivered a secret letter to Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu opened the secret letter, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then handed the secret letter to Yi Qusheng, and said to Yi Qusheng: "Look at you." Isn't the possibility of attacking Xianyang City all written on it? ”

Yiqu Sheng took the secret letter in Li Mu's hand with half a doubt, and after reading it for a long time, he couldn't help but shout again: "How is this possible?" ”

Li Mu stared at Yiqusheng in front of him seriously and said, "How is it impossible? ”

Yiqu Sheng said angrily: "The current Qin State Pass must be full of sentry agents, just to guard against us going south, no matter which direction you go, you will definitely be discovered by the spies of the Qin State, this is one of them." Now that we are at least 600 miles away from Xianyang City, do you think this is possible if we want to march 900 miles in three days to reach Xianyang City according to the letter above? ”

Li Mu shook his head and said to Yiqu Sheng: "First of all, we don't need to be unaware, as long as the speed is fast enough, then I can go south directly without passing through the upper county of Qin, but detour through the territory of Yiqu and go south, which is the weak point of the Qin people's reconnaissance, and the person who wrote the letter also has a certain strength there, which can delay time for us." ”

"The only difficulty is that I have to avoid the places where there are beacons along the road, otherwise once a beacon is lit, then the whole Guanzhong will immediately know where we are moving."

Yi Qusheng nodded and said, "You also know that Fengsui is not easy to dodge, so how are you going to solve this problem?" ”

Li Mu smiled, and suddenly took out a map from his arms: "You come and take a look at this." ”

Yi Qusheng leaned over, gasped at any time, and said, "This, this is ......"

For the first time, Li Mu's face showed a somewhat smug look, and he smiled at Yiqu Sheng: "This is the distribution map of the three hundred and twenty-eight beacons in the entire Qin State Pass. ”

Yi Qusheng was confused: "How did you get this map?" ”

Li Mu laughed and patted Yi Qusheng on the shoulder: "Do you really think that the few times I went south to Guanzhong was just to rob the gold, silver, and jewelry and cut off thousands of heads?" ”

Yi Qusheng then understood, sure enough, the Great Wall could not be built in a day, now thinking about it, it is estimated that Li Mu has already prepared, just to wait for this day to come, right?

Yi Qusheng nodded and said, "In this way, maybe Fengsui does have hope to avoid it, but what about the distance?" You don't think you can really get to Xianyang in three days, do you? ”

Li Mu nodded very seriously and said, "Of course you can." ”

"It's impossible!" Yi Qusheng screamed and said, "No horse can withstand such a long run. ”

"Absolutely." Li Mu stood up and walked towards the outside of the big tent: "Follow up." ”

Yi Qusheng followed out of the big tent, and found that Li Mu walked in front of a Zhao State war horse, squatted down and lifted the foot of this Zhao State war horse: "See for yourself." ”

Yi Qusheng looked at it, only to find that the foot of the war horse was staring at something that looked like iron, and he was very curious, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

Li Mu said: "This thing is a horseshoe, it was created by the king, as long as you nail this thing to the horse's shoe, then you don't have to worry about the horse running away in the long march." ”

Yi Qusheng's expression changed, and after a while, he said viciously: "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "All the war horses are in front of you, you can't find it yourself, who is to blame?" ”

At this moment, Yiqu Sheng suddenly felt that he was indeed an idiot.

Yi Qusheng stared at Li Mu for a long time, and finally said again: "What are you going to do next?" Let's be specific. ”

Li Mu smiled at Yiqu Sheng and said: "Actually, the plan is very simple, it is impossible for me to lead all the troops south, after all, 30,000 cavalry will go south together, and it is impossible to hide the movements from the people of the Qin State." This time, I will only lead 5,000 elite horsemen all the way south to take Xianyang, and the rest of the troops will be handed over to you. ”

"Me?" Yi Qu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise, although it didn't help his small eyes much: "You let this king lead the rest of the troops?" ”

"Of course." Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng a little strangely: "What, don't you think you can't do it?" ”

Yiqu Sheng was angry at this moment: "How can a man say no? No matter what this king says, he is also a great general who has been on the plateau for many years, and it is a trivial matter to command this little cavalry! But your cavalry will do what the king does? ”

"They'll listen." Li Mu said: "You remember, wait until tomorrow, you will take these troops to the south along Luoshui with great fanfare, so that the people of Qin will think that our target is Hexi and Shangjun in the east of Guanzhong, and after three days, you will immediately lead the army to turn back and rush to Xianyang to meet me as quickly as possible." ”

Yi Qusheng looked at the map, then calculated it again, and said: "If you follow this plan, then even if you take Xianyang, you must control Xianyang for at least two to three days, otherwise I won't have time to arrive." ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "If Xianyang is really taken by me, then you can come with confidence." ”

Yi Qusheng stared at Li Mu with a strange face, and then said to Li Mu: "Have you ever thought that with the five thousand troops in your hand, if you are really discovered by the Qin people and set up an ambush, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back alone." ”

Yiqusheng is not wrong at all, the result of such a surprise move is often a mistake and a full loss, miracles have always required life to make a bet.

Li Mu smiled slightly when he heard this, and a blazing light flashed in his eyes: "Your words are actually not wrong at all, according to common sense, I really shouldn't take such a risk." But don't forget that there is not so much time left in the Central Plains now, and Zhao needs a victory, a victory that can shake the world! ”

What Li Mu didn't say was that if Xianyang couldn't be taken, then no matter how Li Mu did in Guanzhong, the main force of the Qin army would not come back to help. In that case, Li Mu might as well cross the Yellow River east as soon as possible and go to the Central Plains to participate in the war.

Yiqusheng was silent for a moment, let out a long breath, and said, "Okay. In that case, then I would like you to grant me a request. ”

Li Muleng paused for a moment and said to Yi Qusheng: "What requirements?" ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Yiqu Sheng's dark face, and he reached out and patted Li Mu's shoulder vigorously, and said, "You must come back alive!" ”

Li Mu laughed and said to Yi Qusheng: "Don't worry, not only will I come back alive this time, but you and I will both be recorded in history by the historians and become the superheroes who reversed this battle!" ”

That night, Li Mu led 5,000 Zhao Guojing cavalry quietly south from the night, and rushed straight to Xianyang from the border of Yiqu Kingdom.

The next day, Yi Qusheng led the remaining 25,000 cavalry to the southeast with great fanfare, and they would take on the heavy task of attracting the attention of the Qin people, so as to buy time for Li Mu to raid Xianyang.

To be honest, Yiqu Sheng was not optimistic about Li Mu's plan at all.

Three days, nearly a thousand miles away, non-stop travel, and then a surprise attack on a metropolis defended by 40,000 defenders, and then successfully take control of the city, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a fantasy.

Is Li Mu really able to do this? Even Yiqu Sheng, who regarded Li Mu as the god of war, didn't have much confidence in this.

On the other side, Li Mu was full of confidence and had no doubts about his victory.

For this time to go south, Li Mu really wasn't a whim. Just as he and Yi Qusheng said, in the past few wars into Guanzhong, Li Mu had already collected enough detailed information and drew a topographical map of Guanzhong comparable to the treasures of the Taiwei Mansion of the Qin State, and the roads, villages and beacons in the entire Guanzhong had been clearly investigated by Li Mu and the scouts of the Zhao State under his command.

Moreover, in order to guard against Li Mu's attack, the Qin people had already implemented the clearing of the fortified walls and moved almost all the villagers into the nearby cities, which increased the difficulty of Li Mu's looting, but also reduced the difficulty of Li Mu being discovered.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mu is very confident that he will be able to arrive in Xianyang unnoticed.

In his letter to Li Mu, Lü Buwei told Li Mu that the night after three days would be the death day of King Xiaowen, the previous monarch of Qin, and that King Chu of Qin would hold a sacrifice in the Xianyang Palace on that day, and that all the core figures of the Qin State would gather in the Xianyang Palace on that day.

That is, in the afternoon of that day, a former general of the forbidden army who had just been belittled by Qin Wang Chu not long ago, and the current captain of the gate guarding team would be ordered to garrison the west gate of Xianyang City.

This is Li Mu's only chance!
