Zhao Mu has a city government, a strategy, and may be good at intrigue and trickery. Kill the enemy on the battlefield and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, but he doesn't have such means.
An emperor who can't mention the martial arts is simply looking for death, is it more important, the enemy he is facing is still the cavalry of the Yan State galloping in the north.
Yu Qianhang and Xu Wenhao couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Mu, hoping that the other party would think carefully and not be rash.
Otherwise, the death of the emperor, the destruction of Zhao State, and the injury of the courtiers will definitely happen to Zhao State.
However, Zhao Mu may have made up his mind and is ready to make a desperate bet and go to the north to burn the jade of the Yan army.
In the face of Qianhang's kind dissuasion, he said sharply: "The matter of the conquest is very important, this time, the Yan army is eyeing the tiger, pointing at Handan City, if I don't personally drive the conquest, how can the people obey the call of the court and fight bravely to kill the enemy?"
Could it be that I am a greedy person who shoots death, do I want to watch and perish? ”
Zhao Mu has the ability and the city government, if he is in peacetime, he will probably be a good emperor, but it is a pity that there are wars and strife today.
Reduced to today's situation, born at the wrong time, and blamed the bad luck.
Before he seized the throne, the treasury of Zhao was empty, and after he ascended the throne, the Yan army was aggressive, the people revolted continuously, and the problem of money and food always troubled him.
In addition, Feng Zixiu and Li Mu, two generals, led the troops outside, and constantly reached out to the court to ask for money and food, but they each had a ghost, so far, he has not succeeded in controlling the two generals and mastering military power.
Now, the Yan State is besieged on all sides, and he is tired of dealing with all aspects, even if he has a good strategy, he has no time to implement it, and pulls the Zhao State on the right track of history.
In a word, there is more than enough heart but not enough power, and it is too late to solve the various problems encountered.
This time, Li Mu betrayed, and when the Zhao State was at stake, he did not drive the expedition in person, set an example for the Tiger Ben Army and the people, and improve morale.
As the emperor, he was a loser, but he would rather die on the battlefield and inflict casualties on the Yan army than stay in the Handan Palace and wait for death.
Xu Wenhao was worried about Zhao Mu's safety, and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, you are the king of Zhao State, the dragon body is important, you must not risk driving the expedition, if you hurt the dragon body, it will be a disaster for Zhao State." ”
"When it comes to the conquest, I am determined and there is no need to obstruct it." Zhao Mu said without hesitation.
Hearing this, they noticed that Zhao Mu had made up his mind, and even though Xu Wenhao and Yu Qianhang were worried about Zhao Mu's safety, they did not refute it.
The two admired Zhao Mu's courage, if this happened to Zhao Fan, he would probably take the initiative to disarm and surrender.
Zhao Mu was able to stand up in times of crisis, which is really commendable.
This time, Zhao Mu's words are good, if you want to save yourself, you can only lead by example and set an example, otherwise, if you want to ignite the enthusiasm of the people, it is completely on paper.
Now that the matter of Zhao Mu's personal expedition has been decided, the two must quickly mobilize the masses, dispatch troops, and prepare for Zhao Mu's personal expedition.
However, before the two of them walked out of the study and prepared for the next thing, a guard outside hurriedly ran in and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, something is wrong..."
Hearing this, Xu Wenhao and Yu Qianhang couldn't help but want to scold their mother, the current situation is bad enough, what else is going on.
Could it be that Zhao Guo really can't get over this hurdle this time?
Do you really want to be trampled by Yan Guo's iron cavalry?
Zhao Mu didn't care about it, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the Yan army went south, and arrived in Handan City at any time, what is going on at present, it is more dangerous than the Yan army going south, and said in a light tone: "Don't panic, don't worry, something will come slowly."
”
In Zhao Mu's opinion, unless the Northern Yan Army directly descended and besieged Handan City, there would be nothing that would make him fall into panic again.
The guards took a breath, stared at Zhao Mu, and sighed to themselves in their hearts, the Yan army was about to hit the door, and he was not in a hurry, could it be that the emperor might have moved the Yan army in advance.
Doubts in their hearts turned into suspicions, and the guards still reported anxiously: "Your Majesty, the spies of Qingyang County have sent news, two days ago, all the Tiger Ben troops stationed in Qingyang County disappeared, and most of the children of the Bai family were tied up in the barracks, and even worse, the Yan Army seemed to have learned in advance that the Tiger Ben Army in Qingyang County had disappeared. ”
"What, the Tiger Ben Army in Qingyang County has also disappeared!" Hearing this, Zhao Mu's expression changed drastically and he asked in horror.
His mind was all on the north, and he didn't think about the affairs of Qingyang County at all.
At present, it seems reasonable for the spies to send back the news, after all, the Tiger Ben Army stationed in Qingyang County are all troops under Li Mu, and they have followed Li Mu to fight in the north for more than ten years.
These people's loyalty to Li Mu far exceeds their own, not long ago, Li Mu rebelled in the north, thinking that in his plan, he must have taken into account the Tiger Ben Army of Qingyang County.
The more serious problem is that Qingyang County is only two counties away from Handan City, and compared to Ningwuguan, which is closer to Handan City, it is easier for the Lin Xiao Army to reach Handan City.
Perhaps, within two days, 100,000 Yan troops will be able to besiege Handan City.
The military affairs in the north have not yet been resolved, and Qingyang County has been annexed by the Yan army, which is simply a house leak and rains overnight, according to the current situation, the Yan army is trying to force itself and Zhao Guo to a dead end.
"Li Mu, bastard, what did he do? He didn't even miss his past friendship at all, and was ready to push Zhao Guo to a place of no return! After signaling the guards to retreat, Zhao Mu gritted his teeth.
Li Mu was reused by the first emperor to guard the northern gate of Zhao State, but when he tore his face, he killed the killer mercilessly.
However, how could Zhao Mu know that Ma Wu's death touched the most vulnerable place in Li Mu's heart.
The replacement of the emperor of the Song State was too fast, and the generals with heavy troops inevitably became the thorn in the emperor's side, a thorn in the flesh, and in addition, the relationship between the two in the court was not very harmonious in the past.
Ma Wu's death seemed to be the fuse for Li Mu to break away from Zhao and take refuge in the Song State.
Since he was going to lead the army to break away from the Zhao State, Li Mu would definitely take his army with him, and he would definitely not leave any helpers for Zhao Mu.
At this moment, Zhao Mu realized that the defenders of Qingyang County had disappeared inexplicably, and he must be inextricably linked with Li Mu, so he couldn't wait to quickly catch the other party, and after asking the reason for the matter, he directly executed the other party Ling Chi.
Previously, when Xu Wenhao and Yu Qianhang heard the guard's report, they deeply realized that Zhao Guo's situation might be worse than imagined, but the two of them finally underestimated the news from the guard.
Hearing this, the legs of the two couldn't help but tremble, and their faces were full of heavy melancholy, Qingyang County was lost, and the Yan army would definitely arrive at the city of Handan within three days.
At this moment, even if Zhao Mu drove the expedition in person, it would be too late, and more importantly, Zhao Guo simply did not have the ability to fight on two fronts.
Xu Wenhao held on to the pillar and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the matter of the imperial conquest is going to run aground, the Lin Xiao army is closer to Handan City, and Weichen feels that he must first solve the Yan army in the east, otherwise, before the northern Yan army goes south, Handan City may change hands." ”
Zhao Mu was not unclear about this matter, and he really couldn't accept this double blow, Li Mu betrayed, and Yan Jun was aggressive, which pushed him to the forefront all of a sudden.
Annoyed and angry, he roared, "The matter of the Imperial Driver's personal expedition will be stopped for the time being, and I will order the Jingshi Guards to quickly move to Qingyang County, no matter what the cost, we must also block the Lin Xiao Legion from going north." In addition, he immediately told Feng Zixiu to quickly lead the army north, and in the name of General Zhao, strive to block Emperor Yan from going south. ”
In the past, Zhao had hundreds of thousands of tiger army, but after participating in the battle to attack Liang and the change of the imperial throne of Zhao over the years, many tiger army became political victims, resulting in a sharp decrease in number, and Zhao Mu controlled not many troops, only 60,000 or 70,000 Beijing division guards.
No matter how much you don't believe in Feng Zixiu, you have to plead with Feng Zixiu, when this time of crisis, if Feng Zixiu refuses to go north, it will be a raccoon dog with Li Mu.
"Your Majesty, Feng Zixiu is far away in southern Xinjiang, and he wants to block Feng Yi's army, if he evacuates, southern Xinjiang will be lost, Feng Yi's army will go north, and Handan City will be besieged from three sides." Xu Wenhao stated the truth.
Zhao Guo was surrounded by the Yan army on all sides, and his whole body was moved, and Zhao Mu's attempt to mobilize Fengzi to cultivate into Beijing was completely daydreaming.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you want to let Captain Yan go straight in?
Zhao Mu said angrily: "If you don't mobilize Feng Zixiu to lead the army into King Qin, won't you be able to wait to be captured by Yan Junsheng?" ”
At this moment, Zhao Mu only felt that Zhao Guo had reached the point of exhaustion, and he had no good idea at all to change the current situation.
"Your Majesty, let's go south, there is a Fengzi Cultivation Army in southern Xinjiang, and things have not yet reached the point where there is no way out." Handan City may be surrounded at any time, and the 70,000 Beijing Division Guards alone will not last long, besides, there is not much food in the city, and it is simply self-defeating to defend the city.
"Fleeing south, what if Feng Zixiu plots wrong?" Zhao Mu was worried that if he went south, he would be controlled by Feng Zixiu, and his power would be hollowed out, and he might lose his freedom at any time and be secretly killed by Feng Zixiu.
Yu Qianhang was also impatient, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to look ahead and look backwards, there is still a glimmer of hope in the south, and there is only one way to die if you continue to stay in Handan City." ”
Although the words were sharp, there was no intention to conceal it, after all, when the two armies of the Yan army were encircled, there would be no chance to escape.
Zhao Mu's expression was still hesitant, he would rather die than have his power hollowed out.
Otherwise, he would have become the most sloppy emperor in the history of Zhao.
Xu Wenhao and the others did not continue to ask, since Zhao Mu was unwilling to evacuate, as a clansman, the two had to leave.
After all, everyone knows that there is still hope for going south, and if you don't go south, Handan City will become everyone's grave.
At the beginning, the two supported Zhao Mu in order to gain power, but since taking power, various things inside and outside Zhao have exhausted the two of them.
Not only did they not taste the taste of power, but they threatened their lives all the time.
Now, the fall of the Zhao State is imminent, rather than staying with Zhao Mu to find a way to die, the two of them might as well escape.
When Zhao Mu's thoughts were hesitant, Xu Wenhao and the two quietly withdrew from the study.
