The moon is hanging high, and the north wind is gradually subsiding.

Standing on the ruins of the Yan army's camp, the severed arms and stumps covered all over the ground silently announced the exploits of the Zhao army.

Zhao Kuo, who was riding on a tall horse, walked slowly on the white bones, like a king patrolling his territory. The horse's hooves fell, and a piece of blood splashed, which poured a layer of red on this mountain patrol map, adding a bit of artistic conception.

The end is majestic!

It's just that no one knows that this miserable and tragic scene is not what Zhao Kuo wants. The road paved with white bones is not what Zhao Kuo hopes.

However, the will of the individual seems so small and powerless in the torrent of history. Even if Zhao Kuo is now the general of Zhao State, he is even about to reach the peak of Zhao State.

Whether it is the Qin State or the gate lord nobles of the Zhao State, they are all members of this rolling torrent, pushing Zhao Kuo forward behind his back.

Zhao Kuo knew that he had to move forward, even if there was still a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of him, he had to continue to move forward.

From the moment he came to this Warring States and became Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo had no choice. Although the process is destined to be painful, presumably this land of China in his own hands will be better than the violent Qin who died in the second.

"General."

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice sounded in front of Zhao Kuo's side.

When I looked up, it was Li Mu, who I hadn't seen for many days.

I saw Li Mu in a military uniform, the armor on his body was already a little damaged, and he was tired that he couldn't hide, only a pair of eyes, but he was bright, and a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth undoubtedly revealed his inner joy.

Looking at the comer, Zhao Kuo immediately turned over and dismounted, and stepped into the blood with one foot, but he didn't realize it.

"Haha, Li Mu!" Zhao Kuo slapped Li Mu's shoulder fiercely.

"I've seen the Admiral." Li Mu and the soldiers behind him bowed in unison again.

"Okay, all up." Zhao Kuo stretched out his right hand to help everyone up, and then continued, "Everyone has worked hard."

"Don't dare." When the soldiers heard this, they naturally didn't even dare to say it.

"You've worked hard, too." Zhao Kuo patted Li Mu's already somewhat damaged armor, and said with a smile: "When you return to Handan, I will ask the Shangdang Soldier Armor Department to make a good armor for you."

"Thank you, General." Li Mu immediately thanked him.

He had seen the invincible Mo Knife, so he naturally knew what the general was talking about!

"General, you can't favor one over the other!" Just as Li Mu thanked him, a voice sounded behind him.

"It's, it's." Another voice rang out again.

turned his head and saw that it was Sun Gu who took Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei to Zhao Kuo's side.

"Good, good." Zhao Kuo looked at it and immediately said with a smile, "It's all there. However, you have to have a good relationship with Zhao Wei for this, and the soldiers and armor of the party are all under the jurisdiction of this General Zhao."

As he spoke, Zhao Kuo slipped out Zhao Wei, who was walking at the end.

The two of them also laughed when they heard this, for the new iron weapon, the two of them had already taken aim at it, and the heavy armor of the Mo sword left a deep impression on the two.

However, according to Zhao Wei, today's output is not enough, and it is useful to go to the general for the time being. The armor is too laborious, and it will take a while, but the sword is already in the process of being built.

"Li Mu, let me introduce you, this is Zhao Wei." Zhao Kuo immediately introduced to Li Mu: "The strength can carry the Ding, especially good at foot combat, a few days ago in Shangdang County, responsible for iron smelting and weapon building."

"The last general, Zhao Wei, has seen General Li." Zhao Wei, who has been with Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, has naturally heard of Li Mu's name, and knows the status of this person in the general's heart.

"General Zhao, be polite." Li Mu didn't dare to hold it up, and he heard that he was responsible for building the armor, which was the general's biggest hole card! can be given such a heavy responsibility, the degree of trust is self-evident, and Li Mu immediately bowed in return

。

After the two phases have met, the military team of the younger generation under Zhao Kuo knows each other. And the future, at this moment, is gradually coming slowly towards everyone.

As for the familiarization and run-in after that, let them do it themselves.

"How's the Yan Army doing?" Zhao Kuo then asked Sun Gu.

"Well, that's a pity." Speaking of this, Sun Gu also looked pity, and said, "When the Yan army saw our army coming suddenly, there was almost no resistance, and the king of Yan almost immediately fled north with the Chinese army. Our army did not catch up in a hurry, and at least 10,000 or 20,000 people broke through to the north. However, the last general has already ordered a pursuit, and it should be rewarding."

"Just." Sun Gu was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid it's still a little difficult to intercept King Yan."

"It's fine." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said: "The purpose of this battle is not to annihilate the Yan army, with our army of 30,000 people, if the Yan army resists together, it will cause huge losses, and the escape of the Yan King will make our army a lot easier." Chinese Net

"Then what should our army do next? Will you continue to chase the north or return to the court? Or ......" Zhou Qi on the side immediately asked.

Immediately, Sun Gu and Zhao Wei also immediately looked at Zhao Kuo, no need to ask, they definitely want to continue to "make contributions", and even, reaching Jicheng is their ultimate wish.

Why wouldn't Zhao Kuo want to?

The great man has long said, "It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining courage, and not to sell the name of the overlord"!

But the question is, can the soldiers who have been fighting for more than a month continue to fight?!

Zhao Kuo didn't answer directly, but looked at Li Mu, who was silent on the side, and asked, "What does General Li think?"

"The last general?" Li Mu was obviously surprised by Zhao Kuo's sudden questioning.

Listening to the general's questioning, Zhou Qi and Sun Gu on the side were not surprised, but Zhao Wei silently raised Li Mu's status to a higher level in his heart. Zhao Wei has already keenly felt that in the army in the future, Li Mu in front of him may have to be respected.

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Li Mu immediately replied, "The last general thinks that it is not appropriate for our army to pursue anymore."

"Oh?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask, "Tell me about it."

Li Mu immediately replied: "First, most of our army has been fighting fiercely for several months, and most of them are exhausted, and if we pursue again, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses; Besides, the current situation of my Zhao Kingdom is also good, but the broken Yan and the weak Yan cannot destroy the Yan. The story of Qi is not far away.

Second, although our army defeated the Yan army twice in this battle, it also suffered heavy losses, and after the Changping War, there was an urgent shortage of troops, and now the rescue army is also drawn from all over the country. If you go deep into the Yan Land and walk into the quagmire and do not return, in the long run, Dai County in the north, Hanoi County in the south, and Dang County in the west may all be in danger of war.

Third, if our army really captures King Yan, it will not be beautiful. Not killing is not enough to avenge the first king, but if you kill him, you will form a mortal enmity with the Yan country, and our army has no power to destroy Yan, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the Anping area of my rear.

Therefore, according to the foolish opinion of the last general, it is not appropriate for our army to pursue the Yan army deeply and drive it out of Zhao Guokeye."

Hearing this, everyone also felt justified and nodded frequently.

Zhao Kuo is even more satisfied, he can remain calm in the face of the huge interests of "meritorious service", and he can analyze the situation at home and abroad so clearly and clearly, this is the candidate he wants to be a general.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo also continued: "What General Li said is deeply my meaning."

"Still." Zhao Kuo then said with a smile: "Our army can't retreat just now, otherwise this battle won't be in vain!" The adults in Handan City will not let go of this opportunity to attack us."

"But?" When Li Mu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously, he did not recommend that the general continue to fight at this time, in his plan, what the general should do at this time should be to return to Handan as soon as possible and clean up the situation.

Of course, Zhao Kuo understood Li Mu's thoughts, and immediately waved his hand, "There is chaos in the DPRK and China, and I will return to the DPRK, and the north will chase after it......

Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Li Mu, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious

。

"The last general is willing to lead the army north to chase the Yan army to atone for his previous sins." Li Mu also replied immediately.

Of course, this is an opportunity that Zhao Kuo deliberately left for Li Mu, but this opportunity is not a "journey of atonement", but a promotion path specially arranged for Li Mu.

That's right, the biggest beneficiary of this incident is undoubtedly Zhao Kuo. And for this first meritorious man, Zhao Kuo naturally can't be treated badly.

On the surface, he can't be rewarded with this merit, so give Li Mu another chance to make meritorious service.

Of course, letting Li Mu, the party, continue to pursue the Yan army, so as to stay away from the court temporarily, is also a good move to avoid all the accidents that may occur.

And when Li Mu returned from the city, Zhao Kuo also had enough reasons to promote Li Mu to the commander of the first army.

That's a lot to do!

Immediately, Zhao Kuo shook his head and denied, "What is Qing's crime? The previous defeat was the instigation of Lou Chang and others, and the general's ability to turn the tide, collect the defeated army, and intercept the Yan army is already a great achievement, so how can he talk about his crimes!"

"For Ben will chase the dead, for Zhao Wang Xue hate! Is it possible?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.

"I don't dare to ask if I want to." Li Mu immediately replied.

"Twenty thousand fresh troops have been transferred from Shangdang and Hanoi, all of them will be handed over to you, don't intercept the Yan army, but give them enough oppression, let the Yan army run in the direction of Jicheng vigorously, and you only need to calmly accept the cities and populations left by the Yan army in the back." Zhao Kuo continued to command.

"General." Of course, Li Mu understood Zhao Kuo's intentions, and immediately asked, "I just don't know, where does our army stop?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and then said, "Wuyang!"

"Wuyang?" The three of them were surprised in unison.

The three of them are not surprised, Wuyang, the important town outside Jicheng, is also known as the gateway to Yanguo.

If you get Wuyang, Jicheng is in sight.

If the troops are stationed here, Jicheng will be in danger!

Can Yan Guoan give it up?
