For this dispatch of troops, Qin Wang Chu obviously made a lot of determination.

In fact, Qin Wang Chu did have the confidence to send troops, and the hard-working Guanzhong people had initially restored Guanzhong to the original harvest level after a year of farming, and according to the estimates of the Qin agricultural officials, by the time of this year's autumn harvest, Guanzhong would be able to fully restore the previous normal year.

This is the first good news, but this good news actually did not make Qin Wang Chu more excited than the second good news.

With the smooth progress of the whole set of dredging Shuzhong water conservancy project called Dujiangyan by later generations, a large area of wasteland has been opened up, and more fields have become irrigated land, and the result is that the grain output in Shu last autumn is full of 30% more than the previous year!

This figure means that the grain output in Shuzhong is one-third more than before, which is definitely a great improvement.

What's more, this increase in production was completed before Dujiangyan was fully completed.

According to the progress of the project reported by Li Bing, the county guard of Shu County, at least until the end of next year or the beginning of the next year, the entire Dujiangyan project will be completely completed.

At that time, the area of fields and irrigated land in Shu County will increase significantly, and the resulting grain output will inevitably increase significantly.

Li Bing has already sworn in the report submitted, that is, after the completion of Dujiangyan, the grain output of Shu County will definitely be double that before the construction of Dujiangyan.

What does this mean?

This meant that the Qin state was able to use the extra grain to feed more people, get more soldiers, supply the army for a longer period of time, and be able to reward those who had made meritorious contributions to more fields.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is all that the current Qin Wang Chu and the Qin State need!

At the same time, the population of Shu County has not experienced war all year round, and now it has begun to grow significantly, and it vaguely looks like it is approaching Guanzhong.

In fact, the soldiers of the Qin State from the land of Bashu now account for about forty percent, which is an important source of the strength of the Qin army.

The development of Bashu is the strongest confidence of Qin Wang Chu who dares to speak out at this time.

The young king of the Qin State knew very well that he was actually in a race against time.

Lü Buwei's recuperation may indeed be a worthwhile solution, but the problem is that the Qin State doesn't have that much time now!

Once Zhao Guo continues to grow, then no matter how much Qin State rests, it can only be a finished end.

In order to fight against Li Mu of Zhao, Qin Wang Chu also boldly abandoned Wang Ji, who had been defeated against Zhao State, and promoted Wang Qian, a young and promising Qin general who had impressed Qin Wang Chu in the quelling of the Michen rebellion, as the main general.

This series of actions made Zhao Dan, who was far away in Handan, couldn't help but be surprised when he learned about it, thinking that Qin Wang Chu could be said to be very rare to show a rare decisiveness this time.

Just when the 100,000 Qin army marched from Xianyang and went north to Yiqu, the 20,000 Zhao cavalry troops led by Li Mu also came to the city of Yiqu and surrounded the city.

This time, Li Mu's style of play surprised everyone.

"He's actually besieging a city?" Yiqu Lie, who was determined to hold on to Yiqu City and wait for the source of the Qin army, widened his eyes and looked at the situation in front of him incredulously.

Yes, the Zhao army is besieging the city.

A short Hun soldier was hula and holding a ladder and attacking the city in a decent manner.

What made Yi Qulie even more amusing was that there were still many soldiers of the Zhao State who rushed to the city, and then under the cover of their companions holding shields, they struggled to dig the soil.

What do these Zhao people want to do, do they want to dig down the entire city wall?

I don't know when the tension in Yi Qulie's heart completely disappeared, and it was replaced by a heart full of fun.

"Could it be that this Li Mu can actually only fight cavalry field battles, and he is completely a layman for siege? That's right, it must be like this! ”

Yi Qulie was relieved.

Although the walls of Yiqu City are not too high, there are 10,000 defenders here, and it is almost impossible for the Zhao people to take this city with 20,000 cavalry without any heavy siege equipment.

Yiqu Lie had already received accurate news that the army of the Qin State would be able to reach the outside of Yiqu City in a few days, and the encirclement of Yiqu City would naturally be lifted at that time.

It's just that when he thought that he was going to become a courtier of the Qin State again, Yi Qulie's heart was a little melancholy.

Being someone else's courtier, after all, is still not as strong as being a king yourself.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, it is better to bow down to the subordinates than to lose your life.

And outside the city, there are also people in Zhao Guo who are extremely dissatisfied with this.

"Xianshan, look at it, this Li Mu is simply deliberately going to take the lives of our Huns to die!"

Tu Xian was almost crazy.

In Tu Xian's opinion, Li Mu ordered the Hun cavalry, who had been on horseback for most of his life since birth, to carry a ladder to attack the city, which was simply nonsense!

To add insult to injury, such a siege had been going on for three full days, and at least two thousand Hun cavalry had already been killed as a result of this decision, which seemed to Tu Xian to be extremely stupid, and that number was about to be three thousand.

That's 3,000 lives!

Xianshan's face also looked a little pale, obviously he had some thoughts in his heart, but his tone was still very calm when he spoke: "Tu Xian, have you forgotten what I told you before leaving?" ”

"Of course I haven't forgotten those words!" Tu Xian gritted his teeth and said: "But the problem is that we Huns can fight to the death for the Zhao State, but it should never be like this, because of Li Mu's foolish order, and worthless death!" ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside the two.

"It seems that General Tu Xian seems to be a little dissatisfied with the governor of Pontus."

Xianshan and Tu Xian were stunned at the same time, and then turned their heads to look, only to find that Li Mu had appeared in front of the two of them with Yiqusheng and several personal guards at some point.

Li Mu obviously heard Tu Xian's words, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Tu Xian, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

Xianshan's frightening was not trivial, and he hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Governor misunderstood, Tu Xian was also dedicated to Zhao Guo, and he didn't mean to offend the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Saying that, Xianshan didn't forget to pull Tu Xian, and motioned for him to hurry up and make amends to Li Mu.

Tu Xian snorted heavily, and stood there with his neck bent without saying a word.

Xianshan secretly complained in his heart, knowing that his hair was small and usually didn't have a seizure, but when this cow's temper attacked, nine cows couldn't pull it back.

Li Mu looked at Tu Xian with a smile and said, "General Tu Xian, I must think in your heart that the Pontus Governor has specially sent you Huns to attack the city these days, right?" ”

Tu Xian still didn't say a word, looking like he was about to break the jar, but the expression on his face had already revealed everything.

Seeing this, Xianshan called a khan, and hurriedly said: "Dadudu, this Tu Xian is a savage, and Dadudu doesn't need to have the same knowledge as him. ”

Li Mu waved his hand, signaling that Xianshan didn't need to interject, and then continued: "Actually, what you think is not wrong, the governor of Pontus did deliberately let you Huns fight. After all, you Huns have just become the subjects of Zhao, and if you are not given some tests, then how can the Pontus be sure of the loyalty of your Huns? Only by confirming your loyalty to the King will the Pontus be able to entrust you with the task of war. ”

Xianshan smiled and said: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is very true, in fact, we Huns are absolutely grateful to be able to become a part of the royal master, and there are absolutely no complaints. ”

"Really? How does Pontus think that you are somewhat unconvinced by this? Li Mu glanced at Xianshan with a smile, and suddenly said, "You two come with the governor of Pontus." ”

Saying that, Li Mu turned around and walked towards the high platform not far away, which was specially built for Li Mu to observe the entire battlefield.

After Li Muyi walked away, Xianshan patted Tu Xian's shoulder hard: "Are you crazy?" If you annoy the Duke, your life will be gone! ”

Tu Xian said angrily: "If it's gone, it's gone!" Anyway, they, the Zhao people, don't take us Huns seriously! ”

Xianshan was also anxious at this time: "Who tried his best to persuade me to join Zhao Guo before?" What, now you are dissatisfied with Zhao Guoren again? Okay, stop talking nonsense, keep up with me! ”

Xian Shan dragged Tu Xian and came to the high platform where Li Mu was.

Li Mu obviously heard the sound of the two of them coming to the stage, turned his head to look at Xianshan and Tu Xian, and then pointed to the Yiqu City in front of him and said, "Wait and see, what the blood and sacrifice of the Hun soldiers in the past two days have been for. ”

The next moment, Xian Shan and Tu Xian saw a scene that they would never forget.

The sound of Qingyue suddenly sounded, and then the soldiers of the Zhao army retreated one after another, and soon distanced themselves from the city wall.

It was at this time that a dazzling and incomprehensible light suddenly burst out from under the walls of Yiqu City, and the ubiquitous popping sound hit the eardrums of everyone on the stage like thunder, and even the earth trembled.

A burst of thick black smoke rose straight into the sky, and when the black smoke cleared, a situation that stunned everyone appeared.

A large part of the walls of Yiqu City, which originally looked so strong, completely collapsed, and a huge opening appeared that was several feet wide.

"This, this, this, this ......" Xianshan felt that he could not speak: "Great gods, this is not ...... Miracles? ”

With Xianshan's knowledge, he simply couldn't understand how all this happened.

The only person on the high platform who seemed very calm about this was Li Mu, the northern governor of Zhao State turned around very calmly, and said to the generals who were completely stunned: "You are wrong, this is not a miracle. Today, the Pontus is here to tell you a fact - the time when cavalry could not attack a city has passed forever! ”
