Chapter 342: Suspicion (4)
The Feng army lost all food and grass, and had no ordnance, so it had no choice but to retreat to Jinhua County for rest.
After this great victory, the Yan army was jubilant and morale was greatly boosted.
Inside the city of Cangzhou.
After Qin Mu walked into the meeting hall, the generals of the Yan army couldn't help but get up one after another, and some of the partial generals who didn't have a good impression of Qin Mu before couldn't help but respect him at this time, and even Jiang Hu, who had always been unaccustomed to him, had a much better face.
"Sit down, everybody." After Qin Mu walked to the handsome position, he waved his hand slightly, and after everyone was seated, he looked at Jiang Long and asked, "General Jiang Long, how did our army gain this time?" β
Jiang Long, as the deputy marshal, was arranged by Qin Mu to collect the grain, grass and ordnance of the Feng Army, which made him very unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it. Originally, Jiang Long was very dissatisfied with Qin Mu taking over his position, but now, as soon as Qin Mu became the commander, he defeated the Feng Army, which naturally made Jiang Long, who was defeated before, feel more and more gloomy, isn't this a clear way to tell everyone that he Qin Mu is better than himself? This also made him even more jealous of Qin Mu.
Now that he heard Qin Mu ask, a smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to Qin Shuai, after our army broke the camp, we began to transport the grain, grass and ordnance of the Feng Army back to the back, and those who didn't have time to transport back were burned out in accordance with Qin Shuai's orders. β
"Yes." Qin Mu nodded and said, "It's just a pity that the Wind King was not fooled, if he turns back to the camp, he will eat a big fire from our army, and when the time comes, maybe he will really be able to capture the Wind King alive." β
Another partial general clasped his fists and said: "Qin Shuai, now that the Feng army has no food, grass and ordnance, it has been forced to retreat to Jinhua County, what is the next step for our army?" β
Qin Mu thought for a while and said: "Wind King Lu Chen, since he ascended the throne, he has created a brave and warlike army, and led the wind army, invincible, invincible, and invincible, I expect that after this defeat, the Wind King will be annoyed and angry, and it is very likely that he will increase his troops from the country again!" Therefore, the next battle of the Wind Swallow will be more and more difficult! β
"If the Feng Army increases its troops again, then with only 100,000 of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold Cangzhou, Qin Shuai, make a decision as soon as possible." Pan Yong said.
"In my country, there are still 200,000 central troops that can be mobilized, Qin Shuai, I should write to the king and ask for reinforcements." There is another bias.
"En......" Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, Ben Shuai will immediately pass on the king, and ask the king to transfer another 100,000 troops over." β
Being able to fight does not mean that he is perfect in other aspects, Qin Mu may be a military genius, but he is not a conspirator, nor is he a shrewd politician, otherwise, he would not have been degraded to that before.
He felt that the Wind Army would increase its troops again, and just in case, it was best for his side to send another 100,000 horses over now to take precautions! But the letter was sent back to the capital of Yan Kingdom, and after Zhao Jin read it, it was a completely different matter.
In the study, Prime Minister Li Zhaoshi, who had just been summoned by Zhao Jin, asked tentatively: "The king summoned Weichen to come, I don't know what to order?" β
"Look at it." As he spoke, Zhao Jin handed Qin Mu's biography to Li Zhao.
The latter took it respectfully, then unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and after he finished reading it, he said happily: "King, this is a good thing!" As soon as Qin Mu was appointed commander, he took it by surprise and attacked it unprepared, thwarted the Feng army in one fell swoop, and made the Feng army run out of food, and had no choice but to retreat to Jinhua, which was a big victory......
"yes, it's a big win, but don't you see? After such a big victory, the Feng army was obviously defeated, but Qin Mu suddenly asked for more troops, which made this king have to think about something. Zhao Jin said.
Hearing this, Li Zhao was shocked, with Qin Mu as the commander, he absolutely agreed and supported it, but once it came to this aspect, Li Zhao also had to be nervous, he hurriedly said:
"King, didn't General Qin Mu say in the letter, after the Wind King suffered this defeat, he was afraid that he would be angry and angry, and then increase his troops, which is also General Qin's precaution."
"If the Feng army increases its troops, he only needs to hold on to Cangzhou for a few days, and the king's reinforcements will arrive, so there is no need to ask for more troops now." Zhao Jin looked at Li Zhao and said with a deep gaze: "As the prime minister said, Qin Mu has extremely high military talent, and he is also the former general of my Yan Kingdom, and among the veterans, he is quite prestigious, if he can't resist the wind army and asks for more troops, it's fine, but now he has obviously defeated ......."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jin sighed lightly and said, "Moreover, Qin Mu is the confidant of the original third royal brother, so this king has to think carefully." β
Li Zhao bowed slightly and said: "The king is extremely worried, but, in the opinion of the ministers, General Qin Mu's request for more troops is also reasonable, and there are only 100,000 people, plus the current more than 100,000 horses in Cangzhou, the total is only more than 200,000, not to mention, the deputy commander in the army, or Jiang Long, and the important positions in the army, are also loyal to the king, even if Qin Mu really does something disloyal, it can't make much waves." β
Speaking of this, Li Zhao said again: "Furthermore, if the king does not agree to Qin Mu's request for additional troops, it is undoubtedly telling Qin Mu, the king, you don't trust him, this is a big taboo, Qin Mu is now the commander of our army, if you let him know that the king is suspicious of him......"
Hearing this, Zhao Jin waved his hand to interrupt Li Zhao and said, "This king understands all this, and now, this king also has to use Qin Mu." β
After a pause, he said again: "I came to you today to discuss this matter with you, so that's the case, well, this king has responded to Qin Mu's request." β
"I'm Wang Yingmingβ" Li Zhao arched his hand and said.
Zhao Jin agreed to Qin Mu's request for more troops, but while sending additional troops and horses to Cangzhou, he was also more suspicious and wary of Qin Mu.
This is the difference between him and Lu Chen, Zhao Jin, the king, may be extremely capable and decisive enough, but he does not have Lu Chen's characteristics of knowing people well, employing people without suspicion, and not using suspicious people.
If it is Lu Chen, either it is not used, and once it is decided to appoint Qin Mu, it will be given enough trust, Zhao Jin has no choice but to let Qin Mu resist the wind army, on the surface, he can only respond to Qin Mu's request, 100,000 Yan troops set off from the capital and go to Cangzhou, such a scale of transfer, naturally can not hide from the secret agents of the military aircraft battalion, this news was also quickly spread to Lu Chen.
At the same time, the latter was temporarily resting in Jinhua County, and while he was passing the book to the country, ordering Xue Huairen to hurry up and transport grain and grass, he was also considering whether to increase his troops to attack Yan.
There is another one that came together with the news of Yan Guo's increase in troops, that is, Tang Man has heard that now the commander of the Yan army has become Qin Mu.
