Chapter 571 Full of Confidence
When the judgment continued to suffer from the chaos, Zhao Mu not only wanted to save his life, but also worried that the power of going to southern Xinjiang would be hollowed out by the feudal sub-repair, and when life and death were at stake, there was no imperial perseverance and courage.
At this time, it is time to make a quick decision, and it is time to make a decision to avoid causing further confusion.
It's a pity that some things are not controlled at all!
When Zhao Mu was in a dilemma, because the matter of Lin Xiao leading the army to approach Handan City spread inadvertently, and the people in Handan City who were disheartened became more and more panicked.
Soon, in the city of Handan, a large-scale migration frenzy was set off, and everyone dragged their families and mouths and poured out of Handan City.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people of Handan City know the actions of the court best, and at the same time, they also know the true strength of the court.
Not long ago, Zhao Mu ordered the forcible expropriation of the surplus grain in the hands of the people and transported it to the north as military salary, which completely proved that the court had reached the end of the road.
Now the cavalry of the Yan State in Qingyang County is rapidly approaching, and the main army of the Yan Army is heading south in the north.
When the people learned that the court was powerless to stop the Yan army, and they were worried that the officials would forcibly collect taxes or pull strong Ding, no one was willing to continue to stay and live a life that could die at any time.
In Handan City, not only did the people move, but many officials who learned that the Yan army was about to be overwhelmed by the army were also ready to move, either secretly withdrawing with their clansmen, or preparing to surrender to the Yan army at any time.
This time, the two Yan armies came, Li Mu took refuge in the Song State, the Yan army had no opponents, and went all the way south, as if entering a no-man's land.
Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, besides, many officials in the court drag their families and mouths, knowing that they can't stop the Yan army, even if they have a loyal and patriotic heart, but they must consider the clansmen, if they don't seek a way out, wouldn't they be fools?
Zhao Mu's hesitation is destined to miss the opportunity and truly become a loner.
On the other hand, Li Mu led the Huben army to leave the Zhao military camp, quickly broke into pieces, disguised himself, disguised as a homeless person, and quickly moved south, trying to assemble on the border between Zhao and Song, so as to completely escape from the encirclement of the Yan army.
The plan was perfect, almost flawless, and if it weren't for the Yan army to attack, his plan would not be clear at all.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, and the moment the Yan army entered the Zhao army's camp, it meant that Li Mu's plan to hide the sky and cross the sea was completely exposed.
In the past few days, in order to reach the border between Zhao and Song as soon as possible and escape the pursuit of the Yan army, the Tiger Ben army has been non-stop, people have not rested, and the starry night has been on the way.
However, the two-legged man, after all, can not outrun the four-legged war horse, according to the news from the rear spies, the Yan army noticed that the tiger army fled, and the Yan Emperor personally led hundreds of thousands of troops, and killed them from Ningwu Pass.
Along the way, passing through the state and county, the soldiers of the northern land of Zhao State could not be stopped at all, even if someone blocked it, they would be instantly defeated by the Yan army and all killed.
On the way south, Li Mu was horrified when he learned of Yan Jun's move, he knew Lin Feng, and the other party personally led the army to chase after him, obviously angered by his backtracking.
For a while, Li Mu couldn't help but worry in his heart.
At present, even if the Tiger Ben army fled from the north, it was still within the scope of the Zhao State, and among the Zhao Kingdom, there was the Lin Xiao Army in the east and the Feng Yi Army in the south, and the current team led by him had not yet passed through the Qingyang County area.
In addition, the main force successfully moved south, and the advance force led by Gu Hao, as well as the 670,000 tiger army in Qingyang County, arrived in the Song Kingdom.
At present, the troops still in the territory of Zhao include the 30,000 troops led by Zhang Boling, and the 20,000 tiger troops that he and Yan Wushuang have turned into pieces.
This time, the Yan army noticed that Lin Feng must have quickly informed Lin Xiao and Feng Yi, and the road to the south suddenly became full of hardships and dangers.
With more than 20,000 Tiger Ben troops, it is very difficult to break through the obstacles set up by the Yan Army along the way, resulting in the previous smooth road road, which may become a bloody road, and many Tiger Ben soldiers will not escape death, and even he himself will become a prisoner of the Yan Army.
In the process of moving forward, Li Mu repeatedly thought about how to get rid of the pursuit of the main army of Yan State, and safely pass through the garrison of Lin Xiao Feng Yi's army to minimize the losses of the Tiger Army.
When it was less than 100 miles away from Qingyang County, Li Mu still didn't have a perfect plan in his heart, and the whole person couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
If there is no suitable idea, the next hundred miles will definitely become the final grave of the Tiger Army.
However, there were many people gathered here, Li Mu secretly observed in detail, and there were no suspicious people mixed in the gap, so he signaled Yan Wushuang to inquire about the specific movements of the Yan army in Qingyang County.
After comprehending the situation, Yan Wushuang wore coarse linen clothes, mixed among the people, and after inquiring, he learned that the Lin Xiao army had captured Qingyang County two days ago, and the whole army was currently attacking Handan City in detail.
The people gathered here, and most of them were preparing to cross the Cangyan Mountain trail and take refuge in the Yan Kingdom due to the war.
Seeing that there was no sorrow about leaving their homeland in the expressions of the people, Yan Wushuang couldn't help but be curious, and he couldn't understand what was there in Yan Country to attract the people, abandon their hometown, and migrate thousands of miles away.
After all, he also longed to go to Yan Country in the past, so he couldn't help but ask an elder next to him who might have a good background: "Old man, what should you do if you go to Yan Country and stay in Zhao Kingdom's family?" ”
Unexpectedly, the old man said without hesitation: "Although it is good to stay in Zhao State, what kind of family background is there, all the money and food were snatched away by the officers and soldiers, and there is nothing worth nostalgia for!" ”
"But you don't have to go to Yan Country!"
Not long ago, because of the problem of food and salary, the imperial court sent an army to rob the seeds of the people's spring ploughing, and later sent the cooked grain, which caused the spring ploughing to be seriously affected.
Later, it caused an uprising among the people, and even if it was pacified later, it still hurt the vitality of Yan Guo.
The people also became more and more distrustful of the court, and the two were separated from morality, and after being hurt and deceived many times, the people began to have their own ideas.
However, in Yan Wushuang's view, there are many vassal states in the north, especially the Song State is a rich country, and everyone is dissatisfied with the court's actions and wants to move, so they should also go to the Song State.
Why did everyone travel all the way to Yan Kingdom?
The old man smiled, he seemed to be very puzzled by Yan Wushuang's question, and said loudly: "The prince of the Jin Kingdom has a saying, but anyone who enters the land of the Yan Kingdom is the people of the Yan Kingdom, and anyone who harms the people of the Yan Kingdom will be punished even if they are far away, don't you think this sentence sounds particularly powerful?"
Isn't a vassal state that doesn't harm the people worth the long journey? ”
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang looked embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer, in the past, the Tiger Ben Army also protected the people, but now, it has become a bandit and a robber in the eyes of the people.
Speaking of which, it's embarrassing!
However, Lin Xiao's words do make people's blood boil, if the Yan army can do it to harm the people of Yan Kingdom, it will be punished even if it is far away.
With the blood of the Yan army, among the vassal states, there is a place for the Yan country after all.
Even if the Yan army is defeated in the future, it will be supported by the people, and no matter who it is, it will be very difficult to try to destroy the Yan country.
After all, the people need to live quietly, they need the protection of everyone, and when the barrier protecting them is threatened, they will definitely rise up to support, which will mean that any vassal state attacking the Yan State may fall into a large army composed of the people.
The old man noticed that Yan Wushuang didn't speak, and added: "Yan Country may not be the richer country among the vassal states, but it should be the safest vassal state, young man, why don't you go all the way to Yan Kingdom?" ”
There was really no face to continue to talk to the other party, Yan Wushuang did not answer the old man's words, but asked with a smile: "Old man, I heard that the main army of the Yan army is heading in the direction of Handan City, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"The old man came from the north of Qingyang County, and he didn't know the extent of the war." The old man's words were a little stiff, and Yan Wushuang didn't ask anything useful.
Yan Wushuang chuckled and left the crowd.
Coming to Li Mu's side, Yan Wushuang said helplessly: "General, I haven't been able to find out about the Lin Xiao Legion for the time being, but there are a large number of displaced people here, and most of them are going to Yan Kingdom, so we may go with them and go to Song Country through Yan Country." ”
He knew that Li Mu did not have a suitable way to go south safely, so he couldn't help but make this suggestion.
This move will greatly reduce the pressure caused by the Yan army's pursuit, at least, the tiger army they lead can be evacuated safely.
Li Mu thought for a while, rejected Yan Wushuang's plan, and said: "Passing through the Cangyan Mountain trail directly to the Dazhou area of Yan Kingdom, it may be very close to the Bishan area, but a large number of displaced people suddenly poured into Yan Kingdom, most of which will cause the Yan army to investigate, if someone accidentally shows their feet, the matter will be completely exposed, and it is within the boundary of Yan Kingdom, and everyone will have no possibility of escaping." ”
The advantage of crossing the Cangyan Mountain trail is that it is closer to the Song Kingdom, and you don't have to face the layers of defense set up by the Yan army.
On the contrary, it seemed dangerous to go south from the Zhao State, but it happened to encounter a war, and the people moved in all directions, and after they were scattered, they mixed into the ranks of the people, and the Yan army would definitely not notice it.
Just be patient and go to the border between the two countries of Zhao and Song, and the matter will be successfully resolved.
"General, this move is just as dangerous!" Yan Wushuang said worriedly.
Passing through the two lines of defense of the Yan army, you also have to avoid the pursuit of the Yan army, and the road ahead is dangerous and full of various risks.
"In Qingyang County, there are only 100,000 Yan troops, plus the Xinzhao army, the number is also very limited, since the Yan army is heading to the direction of Handan City, there must not be many defenders in Qingyang County, not to mention, after the army is reduced to zero, will it encounter the Yan army, even if it encounters, can't it be dealt with with by virtue of the Tiger Ben army?" Li Mu said confidently, and in his words, there was no doubt.
"However, there is still Feng Yi's army in the south, and this army is more numerous!" Yan Wushuang refused to give up his thoughts and tried to change Li Mu's mind.
Li Mu smiled, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Feng Yi's army is contained by the Fengzixiu army, and there is no time to look eastward, and the army led by Zhang Boling led it easily before, which is enough to show that there are not many Yan troops in the southeast region of Zhao State." "Li Mudao, this Land Rover has been tried twice, and there is no danger at all, even if it is dangerous, it will be within the scope of control.
