The Qin army had already completed the occupation of Yi'an Chili and other cities, because these cities were no longer inhabited by a single civilian, and due to the special circumstances between the two armies, Wang Jian did not immediately apply to the Qin king to move some of the Qin people to these cities, but divided them into a complete strategic military zone for his troops and horses to be stationed.

Yi'an Beicheng Street

The once prosperous street has now been reduced to a place where the Qin army places war horses, Wang Jian ordered his subordinates to be responsible for raising war horses in a private house, only to see Ji Wu walk in at this time and wave his hand to signal others to retreat.

Ji Wu said: "Old general, I didn't expect that Li Mu's speed was so fast, now Wang Peng Li Xin, who attacked Wucheng, and Ling Chuan, who attacked Pingyang, have been repelled by the Zhao army, and have recovered the Ge Sin that Ling Chuan had taken before."

"I've ordered someone to send the excerpt to Xianyang, I don't know what's going on, it's been a few days, and there has been no movement in Xianyang."

"I didn't expect such a heavy rainstorm to fall in the spring, and the roads were muddy and difficult for people to walk, I think the excerpt must have just arrived in Xianyang and had not yet waited for the king of Xin Sheng who was in charge of this matter, so we just waited."

Inside the Xianyang Hall of the Qin State

The king of Qin sat high on the king and listened to the performance of the civil and military officials, and after replying to the matter of a civil official, he saw that one of the civil officials on the left was a lieutenant.

The lieutenant walked to the middle and said to the king of Qin: "Great king, the old general Wang and the Zhao general Li Mu have confronted each other for several times, and they have never been able to defeat the Zhao army led by Li Mu.

Before the words fell, one of the generals on the right side also walked out of Xin Sheng, Xin Sheng walked out of the queue and said: "Lord Wei is right, just now His Majesty received a letter from General Wang, General Wang asked the king to implement a counter-plan to get rid of Li Mu, Li Mu is dead, my Great Qin soldiers and horses will be able to attack Handan within a month."

"Okay, all civil and military ministers, who can take on this important task among the personnel of my Great Qin Intelligence Network in Zhao State?"

Hearing what King Qin said, the following more than ten ministers all approached one by one to recommend the intelligence network personnel that they thought were competent, and the discussions of the ministers made King Qin unable to make up his mind for a while.

At this time, Shangqing Li Si came out and said: "King, eradicating Li Muke is different from eradicating others, if the plan fails, it may expose our intelligence network in Zhao State, so please think twice about the candidate."

The lieutenant pondered for a while and said: "The king, if you want to eradicate Li Mu, you don't have to let the intelligence network personnel in the Zhao State intervene, the minister Baoju alone can definitely eradicate and eradicate Li Mu with gold, and the king only loses tens of thousands of taels of gold in exchange for the result of destroying the Zhao State."

"Who does the Captain want to protect?"

"Wang Ao, a student of the minister, now lives in the position of Zuo Sima of the Xianyang Forbidden Army, although this person has a humble official position, but he is good at lobbying and has a three-inch tongue, the king might as well pass him to the palace for questioning, and the minister thinks that this person must be able to take on the heavy responsibility of eradicating Li Mu."

King Qin waved his hand to a eunuch beside him, and the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "Xuanwang City Forbidden Army Zuo Sima Wang Ao enters the palace."

As several guards outside the main hall spoke in unison, Wang Ao quickly walked into the hall in small steps and bowed down to King Qin.

"Wangcheng Forbidden Army, Zuo Sima Wang Ao, knock to see the king"

"Flat"

After Wang Ao got up, King Qin continued: "Lord Wei said that you and your good lobbying have a three-inch tongue, so the widow plans to send you to Handan to separate King Zhao and Li Mu to eradicate Li Mu, I don't know if you can do it."

"The king ordered his subordinates to go to Handan to do the minister's skills, and it is the honor of his subordinates to be able to share the worries of the king and the great Qin, and his subordinates are willing to take the order to go to Handan to eradicate Li Mu."

Li Si said: "Wang Ao, what you said is quite good, do you know the risk of this mission, if it fails, not to mention that you die, all the intelligence networks of my Great Qin in Zhao State will also be leaked because of this."

"Lord Li, of course, I am well aware of the risks of this task, and if I am not completely sure, I will not dare to say these words in front of the king and the civil and military officials."

When the king of Qin heard what Wang Ao said, he said to him: "It seems that you are confident, and the widow asked you how to eradicate Li Mu."

"As we all know, Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State, and his greed for money, he has the power to tilt the Zhao State government and the opposition and can even cover the sky with one hand, I will make a fuss from him when I arrive in Handan, I will be able to eradicate Li Mu, and I am willing to be punished if the mission fails."

"Okay, I'll give you 80,000 taels of gold for you to use, and you can go to Handan immediately."

"No"

After receiving the order, Wang Ao smiled and whispered: "The king gave too much gold, it doesn't take so much, it is enough to eradicate Li Mu 40,000 taels, and now the road is muddy and difficult to walk after the heavy rain, and it takes too much time to reach Handan and return."

The minister begged for two months, and within two months the king would learn the news that Li Mu had died, and if there was no news after two months had passed, it would mean that the mission had failed, and the minister had died in Handan."

The ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides made an uproar when they heard this, and the king of Qin saw that he was like this and agreed to let him take over the task.

The king of Qin ordered the minister in charge of the treasury to give him 40,000 taels of gold according to his request, and Wang Ao received the gold and pretended to be a merchant and six henchmen to pack up their equipment and go to Zhao.

After retreating from the court, all the civil and military officials retreated from the palace, Wang Ao saw that the hall was empty except for the King of Qin and several eunuchs and palace maids who had just gotten up, and saw that his six henchmen had gone to pack their bags.

Wang Ao walked in front of King Qin and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids on both sides, and King Qin waved his hand to signal them all to retreat.

Wang Ao said: "It is a long way to go to Handan, the capital of Zhao, and the minister has his own measure in handling things, so the minister implores the king to promise the minister a few things, so that the minister can complete the task more easily, and the failure rate can also be minimized."

"Tell me what?"

"First, if you want to hurry up, if Li Mu has not been removed for a long time, I will ask the king not to listen to the views and remarks of some ministers on the ministers and this matter within two months, and at the same time hope that the king will believe in his subordinates; Second, the minister acted on his own, so he brought a few henchmen with him, and this matter must not be known to the soldiers attacking Qin and the intelligence network personnel in Zhao State, and at the same time, in order to prevent the plan from being leaked, I hope that the king can comply with these two requests."

"Okay, the widow promises you, you can go to Handan with confidence."

Wang Ao thanked and walked out of the main hall, and the king of Qin gave Wang Ao and his party a fast horse each, ten taels of silver each, and five ingots each, and gave them a long house-style carriage pulled by five good horses, Wang Ao and others thanked and placed some commodities such as gold and silver on the carriage, and each rode a fast horse to urge the carriage to go in the direction of Zhao State.

At this time, the road was slippery and muddy just after the rain, and it must take some time for Wang Ao and his party to reach Handan, the capital of Zhao, so this matter will not be mentioned for the time being......
