Lian Po's matter is over for the time being.

But in the battlefield of Hedong County, Zhao Guo is not the only soldier and horse of Lian Po.

So soon, Zhao Dan spoke again: "What about Li Mu, how is Li Mu now?" ”

As soon as Li Mu was mentioned, the faces of everyone in the hall couldn't help but look a little expectant and worried.

Since entering the land of Qin after the start of the war, Handan has not received news from Li Mu for at least more than a month.

After all, Li Mu is in the rear of Guanzhong, a Qin countryman, and it is very troublesome to pass on some news.

First of all, the messenger went north from Guanzhong to Shuofang, and then walked down the route of Shuofang-Hetao-Yunzhong-Yanmen-Daijun-Zhongshan, and finally arrived in Handan.

This route alone has thousands of miles, and along the way, it has to go over mountains and mountains, trek mountains and rivers, almost go around most of the Zhao country, and almost walk around the land of Zhao from west to east.

No matter how fast it is 800 miles or even 1,000 miles, by the time the messenger arrives in Handan, the news brought by him will have long been outdated, I don't know how many days.

Zhao Sheng smiled when he heard this: "Back to the king, it is a coincidence, there happened to be a messenger from Li Mu last night, according to Li Mu's letter, now Liyang City has been captured. ”

"Liyang City has been captured?" Zhao Dan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although Zhao Dan had already reviewed the plan jointly formulated by Hu Yiwei and the General Staff in advance, and had an understanding of this operation to capture Liyang City, the plan was only a plan after all, and only after it was really implemented and successfully achieved results, this plan was a truly useful plan that could make Zhao Dan happy.

In fact, Li Mu brought Zhao Dan more surprises than these.

I saw Zhao Sheng continue to say to Zhao Dan: "Great King, Li Mu judged that the Qin army was very likely to send a large army to encircle and suppress him, and now he is ready to give up Liyang City." However, Li Muzai also said that he planned to give the people of Qin a big 'surprise' in Liyang City. ”

When several other ministers of Zhao State present heard this, they immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Surprise?" Zhao Dan's face moved, and he said with a smile: "This Li Mu's character is still known to few people, the so-called surprise, I'm afraid it will be more shocking." ”

Li Bo on the side interjected at the right time and said with a smile: "If Li Mu can burn that oak yang with a fire, it will really be a big surprise." ”

As soon as Li Bo's words fell, he found that everyone in the hall suddenly turned their eyes to him, even Zhao Dan.

Li Bo was taken aback and hurriedly explained: "It's just a joke, a joke. ”

"Nope." Zhao Dan interrupted Li Bo's words, and said to Li Bo with a straight face: "What Li Qingru said is not wrong at all, and the widow also thinks that Li Mu is really likely to do such a thing." ”

"What?" Li Bo was also a little stunned at this moment, his heart was really so coincidental, and he hit it casually?

So Li Bo couldn't help but say: "King, could it be that Li Mu really dares to burn Liyang?" ”

In this era, it is not easy to build a city, so unless you really don't care about offending the other party completely, things like slaughtering or burning a city are very rare.

It was Yu Xin who returned to Li Bo, and he saw Yu Xin speak: "This Li Mu has always liked to surprise people with soldiers, and this time the king has ordered several times that there can be no slaughter and flooding of the city, but if you burn Liyang with fire, then it will not be among the king's bans......"

For some reason, when he heard Yu Xin's words, Zhao Dan suddenly had an urge to hold his forehead.

Dear Comrade Li Mu, back then, a fire burned out the hatred of the people of Chu for decades, and if you burn this fire, will it also make the people of Qin and Zhao become mortal enemies for decades.

Zhao Dan didn't like burning the city very much, thinking that at the end of the Qin Dynasty in history, Xiang Yu entered the pass and burned the Afang Palace to the ground, and a large number of precious classics in the entire Xianyang were also destroyed in the war.

This is not only the loss of Xianyang and Qin, but also the huge loss of the entire Chinese civilization.

But the matter has come to this point, if Li Mu really plans to burn Liyang, then the ashes on Liyang's side are estimated to have been cold for many days, and Zhao Dan has no way at all.

Anyway, an oak yang doesn't matter too much, and it doesn't matter if you offend the Qin State.

But the next time you attack Xianyang, you still have to let Li Mu pay attention to it, don't let Li Mu really learn what Xiang Yu burned Xianyang, then Zhao Dan is really a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Dan let out a sigh of relief, and did not continue to dwell on Li Mu's topic, but directly turned back to Hedong County's side, and said: "It seems that we have to find an opportunity to take down Xihe County and Shangjun in the future, otherwise this Hedong will always be threatened by the Qin people, and that will not work." ”

After this war, it goes without saying that Hedong County will definitely undergo another reconstruction, and Zhao Dan's heart is very unhappy when he thinks of this.

After several years of hard work, I once returned to the pre-liberation period.

If you want to wait for Hedong County to develop again, it will take several years.

Zhao Dan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, deciding that next time he must teach the people of Qin a lesson.

The phrase "suffering is a blessing" may be a successful philosophy of life, but it is not the case for Zhao Guo at all.

In this day and age, forbearance means weakness.

If other countries find out that Zhao is a weak country, then these guys who originally did not dare to act rashly under the majestic deterrence of Zhao State may really have the courage to unite and do something against Zhao State.

In general, the topic on Li Mu's side basically ends here.

The main reason is that the news lags too badly, and there is nothing to discuss if you want to.

Just as Zhao Dan was about to announce the end of the meeting, Mixian suddenly walked in in a hurry, sent a secret message to Zhao Dan's hand, and whispered to Zhao Dan: "King, Xianyang's highest level secret report!" ”

As soon as Zhao Dan heard Mi Xian's words, his face suddenly became extremely serious.

You must know that Xianyang's secret reports can be called the highest level, and they are definitely related to Lu Buwei.

Could it be that this super spy of Zhao State, who had just successfully broken into the inner circle of the Qin State, brought some earth-shattering news to Zhao Dan?

Zhao Dan took the secret report in Mi Xian's hand without thinking and began to read it.

This secret report was actually a very inconspicuous strip of linen that seemed to have been inadvertently torn off the body by some slave, on which were written two words in small fly-headed characters that were somewhat difficult to read with the naked eye—Yueshi.

Yue's?

Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person's face quickly became ugly.

The ministers of Zhao on the side observed their words and immediately knew that something was wrong.

So Zhao Sheng, who was a Xiangbang, coughed, and then opened his mouth to Zhao Dan and asked, "King, I don't know what happened?" ”

Zhao Dan raised his head, the unhappy expression on his face was very obvious, and he also spoke with a little unhappiness: "The people of the Qin State plan to collude with the Yue Clan to sneak attack the two counties of Shuofang and Hetao from the west!" ”

"Yue's?" As soon as he heard the news, Zhao Guoqunchen's face also became not very good.

Although it is said that last time under Zhao Dan's suppression, Zhao Guo easily defeated the Yue Clan and captured a large number of Yue Clan captives alive.

But it was through the mouths of these Yueshi captives that Zhao Guo learned about the situation of the Yueshi and knew that this was a country that was even more powerful than the Xiongnu.

Of course, for the powerful Zhao State, the current Xiongnu is actually a weak chicken, and the Yueshi people are always stronger than the Xiongnu, so they can't grab anything.

But the problem is that now Zhao Guo is in the two counties of Hetao, and there are not many soldiers and horses at all.

If the king of the Yue clan suddenly crossed the Yellow River with tens of thousands of cavalry and raided Shuofang County and Yiqu Land, then the two counties of Hetao might really fall into the hands of the Yue people.

As soon as the two counties of Hetao fell, the back road of Li Musuo's department, who was still playing with the Qin people in Guanzhong, would be cut off in an instant, and the situation would suddenly become dangerous.

At that time, the 20,000 cavalry of the Zhao State led by Li Mu may even face the big trouble of annihilation.

The palace of Zhao Guo was filled with a solemn atmosphere for a while.

Zhao Dan coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, do you think this Yue clan will join forces with the people of the Qin Kingdom?" ”

To be honest, because Lü Buwei's secret letter was only two words, Zhao Dan couldn't figure out whether the Yue clan and the Qin State had joined forces or not, and whether they had sent troops.

However, Zhao Dan also understood in his heart that Qin Wangzhu had just returned to heaven, and Li Mu was wandering in the pass with 20,000 Zhao cavalry, and it was already a very rare thing for Lü Buwei to still send some information under such circumstances, but he couldn't be too harsh.

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng said: "King, the minister feels that this Yue's last defeat at the hands of the king, I think he must hold a grudge, if there is a chance this time, the Yue's king will probably not let go." ”

Yu Xin said: "The king, the minister thinks that the Yue's people may not necessarily make a move, after all, the last time the Yue's people suffered a big defeat in the hands of the king, the Yue's king must be a bogeyman for this, and he didn't dare to act rashly." ”

Both of them sounded like there was some truth in what they said.

After Zhao Dan pondered for a while, he still said: "As the so-called preparedness, no matter whether the Yue clan people have issued an order or not, then you should be prepared first." If the Yueshi people really come but don't have the troops to deal with it, it will really be a joke. ”

"Pass the widow's order, immediately mobilize all the troops in the northern counties, form an army of at least 50,000 people, and rush to Hetao County as fast as possible, ready to meet the Yueshi people!"

Zhao Dan slapped the table, and his whole face was murderous: "The widow wants everyone in the world to know that the advantage of the widow is not so easy to take advantage of, whether it is the Qin people or the Yue people, if you want to take advantage of the widows, then you must be ready to pay the price!" ”
