Chapter 774: Li Mu's Own Ideas (Second Update)
What is Li Mu doing at this time?
At this time, Li Mu had actually just gathered his 20,000 cavalry and came to the territory of Yiqu Country to join the king of Yiqu Kingdom.
For this big battle, Li Mu has also come out of the nest and gathered all the troops that can be used by the entire Northern Army.
Coupled with the 10,000 cavalry in Yiqusheng's hands, Li Mu now has a full 30,000 cavalry.
For the cavalry, 30,000 is definitely a considerable number, and you must know that the entire Zhao State Border Cavalry Legion is only a total of more than 40,000 cavalry.
Because the border of Zhao was too long, from west to east for thousands of miles, in order to prevent the invasion of Wusun and the Xiongnu from the northwest, Li Mu had to leave 20,000 horses in Zhao proper.
This is why Li Mu has always been eager to expand, in fact, let alone 20,000 people, even 40,000 people to hold this long border line is simply impossible, only by attacking instead of defending is the best way out.
Yiqusheng was very happy when he saw Li Mu, first gave Li Mu a big hug, and then smiled at Li Mu, who was frowning and constantly touching his nose: "My old friend Li Mu, this time this king can fight side by side with you again!" ”
Of course, there is a reason for Yiqu Sheng's happiness, you must know that before this, the people of Qin sent a large army to conquer Yiqu State, although Yiqu Sheng was completely indifferent on the surface and even wanted to laugh a little, but he was actually afraid of death in his heart, after all, for the powerful Qin State, Yiqu Country was really a little weak and ridiculous.
But now it's okay, Qin Guo didn't know which tendon went wrong, and there was a war with the Zhao State where Li Mu was located, so that Yiqu State and Zhao State would become allies, and Yiqu Sheng would naturally have the opportunity to fight side by side with Li Mu.
In Yiqusheng's memory, every time he mixed with Li Mu, he made a lot of money, and he never lost.
Such a thick thigh must be hugged well!
That's right, who said that Zhao is the enemy of the world? This king's Yiqu Kingdom is the most staunch ally of Zhao State!
Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.
Li Mu is naturally very clear about Yiqusheng's mood, but Li Mu is not as optimistic as Yiqusheng.
Because Li Mu understands very well what kind of threat his own king and Zhao Guoguo capital Handan are facing on the battlefield of the Central Plains, it is a total of more than 600,000 troops of the Six Kingdoms, and a crazy attack on Zhao from the northeast, east and south of Zhao State at the same time.
Although the Qin State also dispatched 600,000 soldiers and horses in the Battle of Changping that year, the 600,000 troops of the Qin State were not like the Six Nations Alliance this time, all of which were composed of the main force.
Through the information obtained during this period of time, Li Mu clearly knew that the main force of the Qin State had gone east to the Hangu Pass and went to the Central Plains battlefield to meet the main force of the Zhao State.
Under such circumstances, Guanzhong, the base camp of the Qin State, inevitably became a very empty place.
To be honest, Li Mu felt that this was completely a manifestation of the Qin people's contempt for him.
So this time, Li Mu must teach the people of Qin a ruthless lesson!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu waved his hand and said to Yi Qusheng: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, time is very tight, let's gather troops and go south first." ”
Yi Qusheng nodded, did not object, and followed behind Li Mu very happily.
After joining Li Mu, Yiqu Sheng happily handed over the command of the 10,000 nominal Qu cavalry in his hands to Li Mu, plus this is not the first time, everyone is familiar with the road, so this coalition army is actually equivalent to a cavalry unit of Zhao State.
Li Mu himself felt that if he could use these 30,000 cavalry to go north to conquer the Xiongnu, or to open up the Hexi Corridor in the west, it would almost be said that there was no difficulty, and it was a sure thing.
It's a pity that due to the successive wars, Li Mu has only had time to build a new city west of Helan Mountain, and he doesn't even have the time and troops to carry out his grand plan of flying with both wings.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu's unhappiness with the Qin State couldn't help but deepen a little, can't he keep Guanzhong as a turtle well, he has to make trouble!
After Li Mu's order, the 30,000 cavalry composed of the Zhao army and the Yiqu army went south.
That night, just when Li Mu was sitting in the handsome tent and staring at the map while studying the information, thinking about how to make the wind and rain in the hinterland of the Qin people's Guanzhong, a report suddenly came from outside the door.
"General, someone is asking to see you."
Li Mu frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The guard outside the door replied, "I don't know, but the person who came has a token, saying that it is a messenger from Handan." ”
Li Mu snorted and said without raising his head: "Since this is the case, then bring people in." ”
A moment later, a middle-aged man who didn't look good appeared in front of Li Mu.
What surprised Li Mu was that this middle-aged man was not dressed like the envoys of Zhao that Li Mu had seen before, but was wearing a bearded suit and his legs were a little loopy, and he looked like a nomad who walked on the grassland all year round.
Before Li Mu could speak, the other party arched his hand towards Li Mu and said, "Hu Yiwei's subordinates have seen the general. ”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "It turns out that you are Hu Yiwei's person......"
For Hu Yiwei's organization, Li Mu is of course no stranger.
The person who came smiled at Li Mu, took out a secret letter from his hand, respectfully handed it to Li Mu, and then said: "This time, I came on the order of the king, like a general to transfer some information. ”
After a pause, the Hu Yiwei deliberately reminded again: "The king also said that the general should destroy it immediately after reading this information, and not pass it on to anyone else." ”
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person's expression immediately became a lot more serious, opened the fire paint of the letter in his hand, and read it carefully.
Since Li Mu was not Hu Yiwei's person, he didn't find the seemingly inconspicuous symbol in the lower right corner of the information given to him by Hu Yiwei.
The inconspicuous and seemingly meaningless symbol actually represents the highest encryption level among Hu Yiwei, which means that except for the two people of Hu Yiwei and Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao Guoguo, no one in this world has the right to browse this information.
The next moment, Li Mu's body suddenly shook, his eyes instantly widened, and even his mouth opened into a big O-shape, he couldn't believe what he saw, and he was directly stunned.
As a courtier who has received many letters from Zhao Dan, Li Mu can of course see at a glance that this superstition is written by Zhao Dan himself, not to mention that it is also stamped with Zhao Dan's jade seal and Zhao Dan's private seal, which is absolutely not fake.
It is precisely because it cannot be faked that the shock brought to Li Mu by this information is so great that it can be called earth-shaking.
Because it is clearly written on it, the current Qin State Prime Minister Lü Buwei is the highest-level spy planted by Zhao State in the Qin State, if Li Mu needs someone to cooperate in this war, then Li Mu can pass the news to Lü Buwei through the token attached to the letter, and let Lü Buwei cooperate with all Li Mu's plans.
As for Lu Buwei, of course, Li Mu had heard of it before.
To be honest, Li Mu still admires Lü Buwei, and feels that Lü Buwei was able to take such an accurate look at Qin Wang Chu, who was still a proton at that time, when he was in Handan, and helped this unknown proton to become the current King of Qin step by step, which is definitely a very eye-catching operation.
But Li Mu never thought that this Qin State Xiangbang, who used to do business in Handan City and met the current King of Qin in Handan City, turned out to be the highest-level secret agent of Zhao State!
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly admired his king who was far away in the Central Plains.
What a far-sighted person it must have been to be such a spy five years ago by the side of this King of Qin, who had only been on the throne for only a few months!
Could it be that even the ascension of this Qin Wang Chu was single-handedly arranged by the king?
Li Mu felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary, his body trembled, and he forbade himself to continue thinking along this line of thought.
At the same time, Li Mu also suddenly thought of another thing, that is, the last time he went south to Guanzhong to break through Xianyang City, someone in Xianyang City opened the city gate as an internal response.
At that time, Li Mu simply thought that this was because Hu Yiwei was very powerful in Xianyang City, but if he thinks about it carefully, I am afraid that the incident at that time was completely inseparable from Lu Buwei's internal and external cooperation.
Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but gasp.
I can't imagine that there is such a secret in this......
After the visitor sent the envelope, he arched his hand at Li Mu and said, "General, the chief has already ordered in advance to let a certain serve under the command of the general in this battle against Qin, and ask the general to settle a place to live." ”
Li Mu was silent for a moment, and then said: "From today onwards, you will be my personal guard, and I will go out and talk to the captain of the personal guard outside, and he will arrange it for you." ”
The person who came answered, and then gave a military salute to Li Mu, turned around and walked out of the big tent.
Li Mu sat quietly alone in the big tent and thought, this information is definitely of great significance to Li Mu, Li Mu very much hopes that he can do something with the help of this precious information, to share the strong pressure faced by Zhao on the battlefield of the Central Plains.
A breeze blew in through the cracks, and the candle flame of the oil lamp danced mischievously with the wind, reflecting Li Mu's face in a flickering light.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly an excited voice came out of the tent, startling the guards who were guarding outside.
"With !!"
