Chapter 218: Withdrawal (Second Update)

Everything was as Ying Zheng expected, as late autumn approached, and the young grass on the grassland had withered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe Huns, who had been dormant for almost a year, became active again.

More than 100,000 Hun cavalry marched to the border of the Great Wall of Zhao. All kinds of letterheads that rushed to ask for help drifted to Handan like snowflakes.

"General, outside of Daijun, more than 100,000 Hun cavalry have been gathered. This year's Huns seem to be more ferocious than ever! On the wall of Fanwu, Le Ren said to Li Mu with some concern.

"That's nature." Li Mu looked at the already somewhat barren official road in the distance, nodded and said: "In recent years, my Zhao State has repeatedly used troops abroad, coupled with the new accession of the king to the throne, the domestic turmoil, and the strong Qin attack. The Xiongnu's Shan Yu, if he didn't even have this bit of eyesight, would have been destroyed by Donghu a long time ago. ā€

"Then, do you want to divide your troops to rescue Daijun?"

Li Mu was silent, and the footsteps of inspecting the city wall were also paused.

After a long time, Li Mucai sighed, and then said: "The 100,000 troops of Daijun were brought by me, and I brought 60,000, and the remaining 40,000 people want to resist the attack of the Xiongnu on this long front, it is simply impossible. At most, two months of delay is the limit. ā€

"Two months ......" Le Ren frowned, and said with some hesitation: "I am a soldier of the county, and Gu is a soldier of a hundred battles. Resist for two months, it should not be a problem. ā€

"However, in this way, the offensive of the Qin army is bound to be more violent......" Li Mu sighed again.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Le Ren also fell into silence, there are heavy soldiers on both sides, and it is difficult to take care of the head and tail!

"Da! Da! Da! ā€

Outside the city, the sound of several crisp horses' hooves was extremely harsh on this barren and quiet official road.

Li Mu frowned slightly. I saw that a Qin State light rider wearing black Xuan armor, holding a high talisman, surrounded by several Zhao State light horses, came towards Fanwu.

"Report!"

It didn't take long for a voice to sound behind Li Mu.

"General Qiyu, the envoy of the Qin State has arrived at the city!"

"Qin State Envoy ......" Li Mu and Le Ren glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a look of incomprehension.

"Come out with me!" Li Mu waved his hand and walked down the city wall.

"Squeak!"

The closed gate of Fanwu City was slowly opened, and a group of dozens of Zhao cavalry rushed out of the city and headed towards the envoy of the Qin State.

"Which one is General Li Mu?" The Qin pawn looked at the group of cavalry in front of him, and he didn't even have any respect in his words.

"I am!"

Li Mu didn't care much about the rudeness of the Qin pawn, after all, the two sides were now in a hostile relationship.

"This is the letterhead that my Great Qin King gave to General Li Mu. Please take it, General! ā€

Qin Shu carefully took out the bamboo slips hanging from the leather bucket on the horse, and handed them to Li Mu with both hands.

Li Mu took the bamboo slip, and regardless of the fact that he was still in the wild, he began to read it directly.

"Brother Pastor Li, disciple of the old man in Zhongyin, junior brother Yingzheng, I would like to bow down!"

The first few words made Li Mu frown. This letter was actually not written in the capacity of the King of Qin, but in the capacity of the disciple of the old man in the middle of the hermit.

"In the past, he was not abandoned by his mentor and took over the government. I have heard my mentor mention many times that my brother is a handsome talent. Today, when I saw the government, I realized that what the teacher said was true. ā€

"Now, the northern Xiongnu have invaded the border and threatened our Chinese people. Although he is not talented, he has also been taught by his teacher and knows the responsibility of China. The senior brother defended the land for Huaxia and was loyal to the king, and he was greatly admired. ā€

"Back then, my mentor wanted to take the government to travel around the world, if it weren't for the protection of my senior brother. I'm afraid that even Handan City may not be able to get out. There will be no glory and wealth today. ā€

"Senior brother is benevolent and righteous, and he is ashamed. The kindness of the past cannot be repaid, and what you can do is only to withdraw the army to alleviate the danger of the senior brother. May the senior brother be able to break the Huns and build the power of my China! ā€

Li Mu read the whole letterhead, and between his eyebrows, not only did he not feel any relief, but he wrinkled even deeper.

"General, what's wrong?"

On the side, Le Ren looked at Li Mu with a look of confusion.

"See for yourself......"

Li Mu didn't explain, but directly handed the letterhead in his hand to Le Ren.

"This! This! ā€

Li Mu waved his hand and motioned for the cavalry to stay with Qin first.

"I'm shocked, I didn't expect that King Qin would actually withdraw his troops......" Li Mu looked at the Qin pawn who was getting farther and farther away in front of him and said.

Although he had long known that his teacher had accepted a proton as a disciple, Li Mu really didn't expect that this son was actually the current King of Qin.

What shocked him even more was that the King of Qin was willing to give up attacking Zhao in order to repay his kindness.

"Is there any conspiracy among them?" Li Mu, who has long been a master of the army, naturally knows that soldiers are not tired of deceit. In my heart, I am also judging the authenticity of this matter.

However, it is different from Li Mu. What Le Ren was really shocked by was what was said in the book, Li Mu and Yingzheng were actually from the same school, and even, when Yingzheng returned to China, there was actually Li Mu's credit.

Le Ren gritted his teeth and began to fight fiercely in his heart.

Since he was sent to Daijun, Le Ren has been trembling and fulfilling his duties, and now, he has gradually won the trust of the soldiers of Daijun and has become a brother in life and death.

And the life of eating and living together with the generals and soldiers made Le Ren feel like he had returned to his days under Zhao Qing.

However, behind this seemingly happy scene, there is still a pair of giant hands controlling him. That is the strange suit of the Zhao State, or rather, the King of Zhao who sent him to the downfall of the county.

The information in this letter was too big for King Zhao to have enough excuses to weaken Li Mu's power and even completely seize the power of 100,000 troops in Daijun.

However, Le Ren also knew that once the military power in the northern part of Zhao changed hands, Li Mu, who was once in the ascendant, would definitely be criticized by King Zhao.

And the 100,000 Zhao army of Daijun has already been integrated into an iron bucket by Li Mu, and the change of generals will definitely make Li Mu's efforts in Daijun for more than ten years of painstaking operation fall apart.

At that time, it will affect the national fortunes of the entire Zhao State.

"Hair? Or don't send it? In Le Ren's mind, he was constantly entangled in whether to send this news to Handan.

Hair is loyal to the king, but it is a betrayal. If you don't send it, it is also a full righteousness, and a traitor!

"Le Ren? Leren! ā€

Just when Le Ren was entangled in it, Li Mu's voice sounded again.

"General!" Le Ren hurriedly put away the thoughts in his heart and responded respectfully.

"You go and tell Sima Shang the news and tell him not to take it lightly. We must wait until the Qin army is completely evacuated, and we can only go north! ā€

Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and chose to believe Ying Zheng's words.

"Yui!" Le Ren responded. Then he turned around and took a few light horsemen and headed towards the front line.
