Chapter 553 has palpitations
Ten days after attacking Ningwu Pass, Li Mu really couldn't wait, and all his patience was wiped out. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update
In the past ten days, the climate in Ningwuguan did not mean to warm up a little, on the contrary, there was a cold spring, and it snowed heavily for several days.
Ningwu Pass was covered in white snow, making it more and more difficult to capture, and of course, if the Yan army wanted to send reinforcements, it would become impossible.
At first, Li Mu wanted to take advantage of the Spring Festival period for the Yan army to return to Yan State, and the Yan army in Ningwu Pass became a lone army, striving to recapture Ningwu Pass in a war.
At present, since the city wall of Ningwuguan is wrapped in thick ice, the sky is not beautiful, and it snows heavily, if you want to capture Ningwuguan again, unless the spring flowers bloom, the ice and snow are all thawed.
However, time waited for no one, and he received news from the south that the remnants of Xinzhao and Yan Guo's troops in Qingyang County coincidentally attacked the imperial city of Handan.
Li Mu did not know whether the remnants of Xinzhao's attack on Handan City had anything to do with the Yan army, but it was a fact that could not be changed by taking care of each other with the Yan army and taking a two-pronged approach to form two military peaks and attack Handan City.
"General, at present, the Tiger Ben Army is in a predicament in front of Ningwu Pass, this is a distance from the weather to warm up, there will definitely be a distance, if we go on like this, sooner or later we will sit on the mountain and eat empty, causing the emperor to be dissatisfied." Adjutant General Zhang Boling suggested.
The change of power in the court, you come and go, and it has little to do with the generals who are fighting abroad, however, Zhao Mu's sudden ascension to the throne still surprised the generals of the Tiger Ben Army in the north.
At the end of the year, Zhao Mu sent an envoy with decent materials and equipment to the north to visit the tiger soldiers, and the envoy's words and deeds had the meaning of soliciting them to serve the new emperor.
If the envoy arrived, just to reward the three armies, perhaps, everyone would not be suspicious, but the envoy solicited, so that the generals could perceive Zhao Mu's jealousy of them.
The emperor was suspicious of the generals, including Li Mu, and couldn't help but feel jealous.
The generals who were killed tragically are not unheard of in the history of the vassal states.
At present, Zhao has three highly decorated generals, and according to the analysis of Li Mu and other generals, the new emperor Zhao Mu does not trust anyone.
He once pulled the eldest prince Zhao Xu off the throne, supported Zhao Ke to ascend the throne, and controlled hundreds of thousands of tiger troops in his hands, Zhao Mu's suspicion of him must be the first to bear the brunt.
Secondly, Feng Zixiu also commanded the Tiger Ben Army, and was once a confidant of Zhao Fan, after Zhao Fan's death, Feng Zixiu served Zhao Mu, however, there was an attitude of passive resistance.
In the battle with the Yan army in the south, the officers and men of the three armies were required to defend the city and ignore the orders of the court.
Feng Zixiu's slackness naturally aroused Zhao Mu's suspicions, and it goes without saying that the rift of mutual distrust between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.
Ma Wu defected to Zhao State, and was welcomed and reused by Zhao Mu on the surface, but as Zhao Mu secretly investigated him, he learned that Ma Wu once had the ambition of cutting the nine counties of Liang State and the territorial autonomy of Southern Zhao, and he did not trust Ma Wu very much.
At the same time, as the news about Ma Wu spread in the Zhao State, especially in Handan City, Zhao Mu became more and more suspicious of Ma Wu.
There are various indications that Zhao Mu ascended the throne and was eager to recover the military power in the hands of the generals, so as to consolidate his position, strengthen the imperial power, and completely control the Zhao state.
However, his eagerness to achieve results caused the Zhao generals to be jealous and disgusted, and panicked in their hearts.
"Alas! The Zhao State began to decline, and most of this will follow in the footsteps of the Jin State, and the alternation of the throne will eventually involve all the famous ministers and generals of the Zhao State, perhaps, without external enemies, the Zhao State will also collapse internally. ”
Pastor Li let out a long sigh, looking helpless.
If the problem in the army, with his own influence, can be solved very well, involving the imperial power, he does not dare to intervene easily, otherwise, he may die without a place to be buried.
"General, what should I do, during the Spring Festival, the emperor asked us to quickly recapture Ningwu Pass and change the current situation between Yan and Zhao.
Yan Wushuang also has a cold heart, he has been fighting for half his life, and his achievements are impressive, but at present, if he can't be shrouded in horse leather, most of them will die in the emperor's conspiracy.
At first, capturing Ningwu Pass and thwarting Yan Jun's strong self-confidence, with the future uncertain and the future life and death unknown, he subconsciously resisted Zhao Mu in his heart.
I just feel that there is no need for me to sacrifice my life and fight on the battlefield, in this way, even if I have a lot of achievements, I may die under the emperor's butcher's knife in the future.
Li Mu steadily suppressed his emotions and said bluntly: "Let's wait and see what happens, compared to Feng Zixiu and Ma Wu, we have the most strength and the most troops in our hands, if Feng Zixiu or Ma Wu are killed, let's make plans again." ”
"What are you going to do?" Yan Wushuang and Zhang Boling focused their eyes on Li Mu.
They all have a strong sense of loyalty, but their lives are not threatened in advance, if they fight to the death on the battlefield, in the end, they will be liquidated by the emperor, they will definitely not be caught and sit still.
"Disband the army, or go to another country." Li Mu rose in the Zhao State, but he was not a citizen of the Zhao State, in the hands of the former Emperor Zao Wou-Ki, he was loyal and made great contributions to the Zhao State.
At present, Zhao Wou-Ki is dead, Zhao Ke is dead, the strength of Zhao is declining, and the new emperor is suspicious of the old generals of Zhao State.
Zhao Guo is not the Zhao State of the past, he will not be stupid enough to protect the king who is about to kill him, and it is impossible to live and die with Zhao State.
If he sensed that his life might be threatened, he would not continue to stay in Zhao.
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang and Zhang Boling were shocked at the same time. Then showing a faint smile, Zhang Boling said: "General, the plan is right, since Zhao Mu is ruthless, don't blame us for being unjust, the ants are still stealing, not to mention, what about the hundreds of thousands of tigers in Zhao State?" ”
Yan Wushuang glanced around, and noticed that there were only three people in the tent, and asked Li Mu in a low voice, "General, where are you going?" ”
The situation in the north gradually became clear, Chen Songyan was three-legged, Zhao Zheng would be destroyed sooner or later, if his life was threatened, Chen Songyan would inevitably become an important place for the Tiger Ben Army to stay.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Hey, things haven't developed to the worst point yet, we don't need to become frightened birds for the time being, if we have the opportunity to defeat the Yan army, we may not turn to other countries." ”
Li Mu's words made Zhang Boling and Yan Wushuang suddenly realize, that's right, no matter what is happening at the moment, confronting Yan Guo is the top priority.
If the Yan army were defeated, they would not have to send people to live in exile at all.
After all, in the Zhao State, even if Zhao Mu was jealous of the Tiger Army, no matter in the past or at present, he was mostly stationed outside the Saiwai and had very little contact with the court.
If they were lucky enough to turn the tide of the war, they didn't have to go to Handan at all, they just needed to continue to be stationed at the border pass, and Zhao Mu had nothing to do with them.
is still happy and happy, and will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order!
"General, what should we do now, it is estimated that by the time the glacier thaws, there will be two months, and our grain and grass may not be able to hold on." Zhang Boling raised the issue again.
Regardless of Zhao Mu's attitude, he must also keep the more than 100,000 tiger troops in his hands, and only if the hole cards in his hand are hard enough, he can be reused no matter what vassal states he joins in the future.
"Explain the situation to the court and ask for the emperor's support." Stopping at Ningwuguan is not a slack of manpower, but a climate problem.
If you want to change the current situation, you can only hold Ningwu Pass for two months, wait for the climate to warm up, and then make plans.
"Yes!" Zhang Boling nodded.
Handan City, Handan Palace.
Zhao Mu stood at the gate of the palace, listening to the howling wind in his ears, and the cold weather made him shudder.
Thoughts couldn't help but drift to the north, even near Handan City in the south, after the New Year's Pass, the weather still showed no signs of warming.
Ningwu Pass is close to Saiwai, and the climate is definitely colder, and I don't know if Li Mu and others will recapture Ningwu Pass.
Otherwise, if the cold continues, the army may only be able to sigh.
The future of the war in the north is uncertain, but when the war in Qingyang County is on fire, Lin Xiao led 100,000 Yan troops, and the new Zhao army under Zhao Shide, at the end of the first month, coincidentally attacked Handan City.
At present, he sent Ma Wu to lead 100,000 tiger troops to Qingyang County, in an attempt to prevent the two armies from continuing to advance westward, otherwise, he may become the king of the dead country as soon as he ascends the throne.
Ma Wu may have just arrived in Qingyang County after half a month, and regardless of whether he fought with the Yan army or not, the court received many rumors about Ma Wu's disadvantage.
For Ma Wu, Zhao Mu boasted that he knew the other party, and Ma Wu did have two hearts for Liang at the beginning, but at the beginning, Ma Wu led hundreds of thousands of troops of Liang State, and when Liang State was in turmoil, he continued to stand on his own.
At present, Ma Wu switched to Zhao State, and has no foundation in Zhao State, even if he has ambitions, if he wants to obtain military power, he also needs to fight in the south and the north, and establish great feats in order to gain a foothold in Zhao State and realize his ambitions.
However, he will never give Ma Wu a chance to realize his ambitions, when the Zhao State is in crisis on all sides, Ma Wu is just the spear in his hand, clearing the obstacles to his future, and when the crisis of the Song State is lifted and Ma is released to Nanshan, Ma Wu should also be purged.
He can have the status he has today, endure for many years, and how much it will cost, ordinary people have no way of knowing, therefore, he will never allow anyone to threaten his status.
Unfortunately, not long ago, he received news that there were signs in the letter that Ma Wu was contacting Zhao Shide, who was imprisoned in Ningwu Pass, in an attempt to overthrow his current throne and support Zhao Shide's accession to the throne.
Zhao Shide is the eternal mustard in his heart, last year, he hoped to borrow a knife to kill people, and at the same time reduce the threat of Yan State to Zhao State, and send Zhao Shide to the Yan army camp.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yan did not kill Zhao Shide, but left Zhao Shide behind. When he learned the news, he became aware that he had made a big mistake by letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
Zhao Shide is not dead, and he is bound to contact the army of Xinzhao, sure enough, even if he liquidates the generals in the army of Xinzhao, loyal to Zhao Shide, thinking that he controls the army of Xinzhao, unexpectedly, the other party turned against the water a year ago and cooperated with Lin Xiao to make trouble in Qingyang County.
