Fortunately, at dusk, along with Zhao Kuo's order, there was also the latest report from the scouts.

And after dawn, according to the conspicuous green armor of the Han army, the scouts finally determined that the first to leave belonged to the Han army, and it was the Qin army's troops who were advancing slowly.

Looking at the latest information of the scouts, Li Mu finally roughly understood: this Qin-Han coalition army is not just divided, but distracted!

Before Li Mu could be happy, the information behind him made Li Mu frown.

Qin Jun deserves to be Qin Jun in the end! Although it was more distracted by the Korean army, it kept a distance of about two to three hours from the Korean army.

As a result, the Han army almost replaced the scouts of the Qin army and became a vassal of the Qin army. And with the change in the marching mode of the Qin-Han coalition army, the journey that originally took three days was naturally reduced by more than half.

In other words, if nothing else, tomorrow morning, the South Korean army will arrive at its ambush site.

What's even worse is that there are a lot of cavalry in the Qin army, once they ambush the Korean army and can't quickly resolve the battle, the two-hour journey can be reached in less than half an hour in front of the cavalry that is as fast as the wind.

The solution, it's not nothing, just send thousands of soldiers to cut off the Qin army.

But the question is, where is the battlefield that cut off the Qin army to be placed?

Outside the valley? There is almost a plain, and it is simply suicide to block the cavalry with infantry, and to block the cavalry with cavalry, there are only 3,000 cavalry under his hands, and he may not be able to stop it.

Put it in Taniguchi? That is better than being flanked by the Qin and South Korean armies, and the situation will only be worse.

Even if it is barely blocked, its own troops are bound to suffer huge losses. What's even worse is that his own losses are only exchanged for the casualties of the Korean army, and he hardly did much damage to his main enemy, the Qin army.

Even, after the Qin army crippled itself, it could continue to move in the direction of Xinzheng.

It can be said that if you fight like this, Zhao Guo will lose more than he gains.

In that case, it's better not to fight.

Just when Li Mu's heart was shaken, a chance inspiration suddenly broke into Li Mu's head - don't fight!

yes, we don't have to fight!

Since the Han army is here to be a scout for the Qin army, then let this group of scouts go.

Judging from today's situation, the Qin army will hardly conduct another investigation of the valley pass that the South Korean army has successfully passed, which is also the reason why the Qin and South Korean combined forces are making rapid progress in one day today.

With the smooth passage of the Korean army, it is very likely that the Qin army will not investigate the location of their ambush, and even if it is, it is very likely to be a rough investigation, and it is impossible to be as detailed as the day before.

In this way, he could launch a surprise attack on more than 25,000 people of the Qin army with 45,000 people.

It is not too perfect to have both the advantage of troops and the advantage of geography, or to attack suddenly. Li Mu was almost ninety percent sure that the Qin army would leave most of its troops.

And the only problem is - the South Korean army.

Although it is certain that Qin Han is distracted now, will the Han army, which has already crossed the ambush zone, turn around and rescue the follow-up Qin army?

Once the South Korean army attacked from the north, the troops left behind by Taniguchi would face a two-sided attack from both Qin and Korea. This is not a good thing for any army.

If only there were troops in front to hold back these 30,000 Korean troops.

Divide your own troops? It's not impossible, but the risks and costs are a bit high.

The reason is very simple, the South Korean army is only half a day's journey from here, and it is the time when the flag is about to die down, if thousands or even tens of thousands of troops are separated to retreat, it will inevitably cause great movement, and if it is found out by the South Korean army scouts, everything will be over.

On the other hand, once you mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of troops to retreat, the forces of the entire ambush position need to be rearranged, not to mention whether they will be detected by the South Korean army

, just moving the formation lightly before the war is not something that a mature general should do.

However, war was not a gamble, and it was impossible for Li Mu to pin his hopes of victory on the mercy of the enemy.

Suddenly, Li Mu saw the warrant given by Zhao Kuo again!

Yes, isn't there still a king! Although the king only had 25,000 troops at his disposal, it was not a problem to hold back a mere 30,000 Korean troops.

Even, if Wang Shang fought against the Han army before himself, he could still attract the Qin army to move north quickly, so that the possibility of the Qin army exploring the valley where our army was ambushed would be even smaller.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Mu felt that it was feasible.

Immediately, Li Mu took the cloth and brushed down his plan, and then called his own soldiers, saying, "Give this letter to my king personally."

"Yes." When the soldiers heard this, they immediately took the silk book with both hands and agreed.

Soon, a group of cavalry hurried in the direction of Xinzheng under the cover of night.

"The only problem." Li Mu looked at the distant figure of the cavalry, and then looked at the moon that was already hanging high, and muttered in his heart, "It's time."

Yes, time.

At this time, the moon is hanging in the sky, if it is according to the performance of the Korean army last night, the Korean army at this time is probably already on the road again, in other words, in three or four hours, the Korean army will pass through its own ambush location.

And from the ambush site to the camp where Zhao Kuo is located, it takes about three or four hours to go back and forth. If you add the time that Zhao Kuo thinks about, it is very likely that when the Han army arrived, Zhao Kuo's return order had not yet arrived......

But no matter what, everything Li Mu can do has already been done, and next, it depends on the will of God.

Time passed minute by minute, and Providence still failed to stand on Zhao Guo's side after all, or it should be said that the Korean army used their actions to win a glimmer of life for themselves.

Han Jun, who had been running around all day, did not stop his footsteps, even at night, he was still shuttling under the vast moonlight.

As a result, the Han army, which was expected to arrive in three or four hours, had already approached the ambush site of Li Mu in less than three hours.

And in just three hours, it is obviously not enough for the personal soldiers who deliver the message to run back and forth.

In other words, Li Mu has not yet obtained Zhao Kuo's authorization in his hands, and he doesn't know if Zhao Kuo will agree with his tactics.

Looking at the information handed over by the scout, as well as a pair of bright eyes below, Li Mu knew that he had to make a decision, without Zhao Kuo's instructions.

The safest thing to do was to immediately order the troops to immediately enter their respective positions and intercept the South Korean troops.

Because the sky has not yet dawned, it is very likely that the Qin army is still resting, which will also buy him about a quarter of an hour more time to clean up the Han army.

But the problem is that if he fails to complete the encirclement or defeat of the South Korean army before the Qin army arrives, then this "encirclement and reinforcement" operation will be completely declared a failure, and even the plan to take the entire south to contain the Qin army may be aborted.

This is what Li Mu never wants to see.

There is another way, that is, to continue the previous plan, let go of the Korean army, and prepare to encircle and annihilate the follow-up Qin army.

This is obviously also risky, in case the king's side does not agree with his opinion, or the troops have not yet moved in place, it is very likely to cause the passivity of the king's side, and it is also possible that the Korean army will retreat directly after the battle starts, and then threaten their own encirclement and annihilation of the Qin army.

Obviously, neither approach is perfect, and there are risks associated with it.

With a long exhale, Li Mu immediately looked at Zhao Kuo's last warrant, allowing himself to "make a decision on the camera". Immediately, Li Mu's heart gradually made a decision.

If the king can trust him so much, why doesn't he trust him?

I know that the latter is the best choice, how can the king not know, since the king will know, how can he disagree with his opinion?

"Heralds." Thinking of this, Li Mu no longer hesitated, and immediately stood up and said.

"The end will be." All the officers of the Zhao Army, including Zhao Wei, immediately stood up and agreed in unison.

"The whole army died down, extinguished the lights, kept absolute silence, let go of the main force of the South Korean army, and put the target of annihilation on the Qin army." Li Mu immediately ordered.

"Yes." The generals agreed again.

Soon, with the issuance of Li Mu's general order, the camp that was still popular just now instantly became dark and silent, as if this piece of heaven and earth would suddenly be swallowed up by a black hole.

And as the banner of the Zhao army's camp died down, the sun gradually revealed its face.

Along with the arrival of the sun, there was the sound of Han Jun's clattering horses' hooves and slightly messy footsteps.

After a night of running, the Han army was really tired. And the only thing that sustained them to keep running was the belief in going home.

On the high slope, Li Muzheng took Zhao Wei and a few people to lie in the bushes to observe the Han army below, looking at the slightly scattered formation and the slightly vain footsteps of the soldiers, and said that it was a pity that it was fake.

If the Qin-Han coalition army did not divide up, and he led his troops to rush into the ranks of the Korean army, the Korean army on the opposite side would immediately collapse, and once the Korean army collapsed, it would inevitably impact the front of the Qin army.

It's a pity that Qin Han broke up at this point.

However, it's okay in this way, if there is no separation, maybe the Qin-Han coalition army will not rush so fast, or maybe they will not have a chance to ambush at all.

Seeing the Han army gradually break away from the valley and move away in the direction of Xinzheng City, Li Mu also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Prepare for battle!" Li Mu slowly straightened up and said to Zhao Wei beside him, "Qin Jun should also be on the way."

"Yes." Zhao Wei immediately agreed.

Immediately, the originally silent camp became slightly noisy again, of course, the main thing was the movement of swords colliding and arrows accumulating, but fortunately, the Korean army had already left, and the Qin army had not yet arrived, so there was no such thing as a slight sound.

In less than half an hour, Li Mu's more than 40,000 troops had already completed the tactical deployment, and at this time, Zhao Kuo's warrant finally came to Li Mu.

Carefully open the silk book, there are only two big words on it: agree!

The sledgehammer landed, and Li Mu's mood was completely relaxed, and the next thing to do was to quietly wait for Qin Jun to come to the door.
