This place east of Luoshui and west of the Yellow River is what the Qin population calls Hexi.

In the early Warring States period, the Wei State once defeated the Qin State and occupied this place, and set it up as Xihe County, so the Wei people called this place Xihedi.

Whether it is Xihe or Hexi, this is a very important place for the former Wei and Qin states.

After the Wei State occupied this place at that time, the Qin State Guanzhong was a girl with open thighs for the Wei State, and it was completely up to the Wei State to take what it wanted.

In that year, after Hexi was occupied by Wei, Qin was once on the verge of extinction.

Fortunately, with the death of the overlord Wei Wenhou, the successor Wei Wuhou turned the focus of the struggle for hegemony to the Central Plains, which made the Qin people breathe.

It was also in this context that the Qin State ushered in the great savior who went down in history - Shang Ying.

After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin state regained its strength, and with the victory in the Battle of Diaoyin and diplomatic oppression, it finally succeeded in recovering Hexi and Shangjun.

It was from here that the Qin State sounded the clarion call for a counteroffensive step by step, continued to lay down Hedong County to the east, and then opened up the Cuihan Pass, occupied all the land in the western part of the Wei State, and laid the foundation for the later eastward attack on Yiyang, Yewang and even Shangdang in Korea.

If there are two cities in Hexi that are the most important, they are, of course, Shaoliang City in the north and Yinjin City in the south.

Shaoliang City was built by Wei Wenhou, the founding monarch of Wei, with the purpose of using this place as a starting point to clamp down and eliminate the Qin State step by step, and it is now the most populous and largest city in the entire Hexi region.

But if it is measured from a military point of view, then Yin Jin City is much better than Shaoliang City.

Yin Jin City is located north of the Qinling Mountains and south of Weishui, and at the same time corresponds to the west exit of the Cuihan Passage, stuck in such a narrow throat artery, and the geographical location is extremely important.

Under the premise of the loss of Hangu Pass, if the enemy appears from the Cuihan Pass, he will either choose to cross Weishui and Luoshui continuously, otherwise he can only take Yinjin City before continuing to march towards Guanzhong.

And once Yin Jin City is taken, there will be no obstacles in the entire Guanzhong, which can be called a flat river.

It is precisely because this city is so important that both the Qin State and the Zhao State regard this place as a military city, and the popular saying is - military fortress.

A military fortress the size of a castle.

It was already dusk, and the light of the setting sun sprinkled the entire land, dyeing the heavy blue-black city walls of Yinjin City into a golden yellow, making this already tall and majestic city more and more magnificent.

In a certain forest a few miles away, Li Mu looked at the city quietly, and the expression on his face was somewhat complicated.

To be honest, after seeing with his own eyes how strong this military fortress was, Li Mu didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Such a city, even if it is a 100,000 or even 200,000 infantry army, it will take a year and a half to completely conquer it.

Just rely on the 30,000 cavalry in Li Mu's hands who did not have any siege equipment to attack head-on...... I'm afraid I can only think about how to break the city in my dreams.

After a long time, Li Mu spoke: "This city ...... Can it really be breached? ”

Li Mu didn't talk to himself, but to the people around him.

By Li Mu's side, in addition to his deputy Zhao Kuo and several personal guards, there was also a man in his thirties wearing the uniform of the Qin army, this man was thin and thin, his eyes were shining, and he looked very shrewd and capable.

The man smiled when he heard this, and said to Li Mu: "The general must have also seen how strong this city is, if it is according to common sense, it is indeed impossible to break through with the strength of the general——"

Speaking of this, the man paused deliberately and observed the look on Li Mu's face.

Li Mu looked at the man very calmly.

The man smiled awkwardly and continued, "But if it is a trick, then the situation will be different. ”

"Meter?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to the man: "You are talking about what kind of strategy you are going to use." ”

The man smiled and said, "Since the general is from the west, he must know about Zheng Cheng. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Naturally, I know." ”

The man continued: "According to the intelligence, a batch of grain and grass departed from Zhengcheng yesterday morning, and the calculated time should arrive in Yinjin City before sunset tomorrow. ”

Li Mu is such a smart person, it can be said that he can understand it at one point, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "What do you mean, let me ambush this grain transport team first, and then pretend to be a grain transport team to deceive the Yin Jin City Gate?" ”

The man arched his hand at Li Mu and said with a smile: "The general is really high-minded. ”

Li Mu laughed and suddenly said, "I understand, that's why you asked your subordinates to ask me to bypass this Zheng Cheng beforehand, right?" ”

The man smiled and nodded, and then said, "There are five hundred soldiers who are responsible for guarding the grain and grass, and the people who transport the grain should be about three or four thousand, which is enough." ”

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "If it is according to your statement, then the time seems to be a bit urgent." ”

In just half a day, Li Mu wanted to set up an ambush to defeat the Qin people, and then seize as many Qin people's clothing as possible, and then escort the grain and grass to the Yin Jin City to deceive the city gate, which can be said to be very rushed.

The man laughed, "That's what the general needs to worry about." ”

Li Mu sighed, and suddenly said, "By the way, how many people are there in Yin Jin City?" ”

The man replied: "There were originally 20,000, but now there are only 4,000, and the rest have been transferred to the battlefield in Hedong County." ”

Li Mu nodded, finally relieved.

If 4,000 people are used to defend the city, it will be more than enough to rely on the city defense of Yin Jin City, but once Li Mu's 30,000 cavalry rushes into the city, these 4,000 people are really not enough for Li Mu to plug his teeth.

What's more, as long as Yin Jin City is taken, then Li Mu will be able to get in touch with Hangu Pass, which is still under the control of Zhao State, and get rid of the embarrassing situation of fighting behind enemy lines.

Li Mu thought for a long time, and then looked up at Zhao Kuo beside him.

I checked my eyes and thought the same.

Li Mu stretched out his hand, patted the shoulder of the man in front of him, and said, "Then it's decided, launch an attack at sunset tomorrow!" ”

The man nodded, gave a standard Zhao Guojun salute to Li Mu and the others, and then walked out of the woods and rode away.

Zhao Kuo looked at the figure of this man in the distance, and suddenly said: "General, do you think that these people of Hu Yiwei are really too terrifying, and there are so many details in the Qin army, do you say that there are also Qin spies in our army?" ”

Li Mu's face changed slightly, and he said at any time: "It's really not impossible...... Looks like it's going to have to pay attention. ”

In fact, what Li Mu and Zhao Kuo didn't know was that the reason why Hu Yiwei was able to infiltrate the Qin State so strongly was because of the Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who was in the Qin camp and had his heart in Zhao.

Otherwise, with the strict household registration system of the Qin State, how could these Hu Yiwei's spies be so easily exploited?

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "General, you said that if the people of Qin knew that Yin Jin was taken by our army, then they should retreat from Hedong, right?" ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible...... However, the Qin people still have Shaoliang City as a base, and they may not necessarily retreat. However, as soon as Yin and Jin were won, the Qin people must be tied up in Hedong, and we can be regarded as making a great contribution. Alright, it's not too early, let's go back to camp. ”

In the light of the setting sun, the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the woods were quiet again.
