With the edict of King Yingzheng, the Qin State entered a state of general mobilization for war, and all the generals and soldiers of the Qin army who were on leave at home and were exempted from serving as a soldier were recalled to the barracks.

After all, it is the best time to destroy Han, although there is no need to worry too much about the interference of Chu, Wei and other countries, but the border still needs to be stationed heavy troops just in case, and it is necessary to prepare a mobile force that can be deployed at any time to rush to the battlefield of Zhao State, which is blocked by attack, or to rush to the southern border bordering Chu State.

And the lineup sent by Qin to attack Zhao is also a complete all-star lineup.

With Wang Qi, a veteran general stationed in Taiyuan County all the year round to fight with the Zhao army, as the main general, Wang Jian and Zhang Ji as the left and right deputy generals, Wang Ben and Tu Sui as the left and right vanguards, Ren Huan, Huan Qi, Li Xin, Meng Tian, Su Jiao, Shejian and others served as tooth generals and partial generals respectively, Pang Xuan served as a staff general, and the right minister Lü Buwei personally sat in Tunliu to be responsible for the deployment of grain and grass and the guarantee of the rear road of the army, and the left minister Kui sat in Xianyang to requisition people, grain and grass and ordnance.

This is a rare luxury lineup even in history, with a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses, just to deal with one Li Mu.

Although with Pang Xuan's help and Luo Wang's in-depth investigation of Li Mu, no one dared to say that there would be no accidents on the battlefield.

As a result, the Qin army simply suppressed people with momentum, and the main thing was to attack on multiple fronts to overcome it.

The Qin army was 400,000, and the Zhao army could only transfer 200,000 people at most to fight the Qin army after removing the troops left in the north to guard against the Xiongnu and the troops left on the battlefield of Yan and Zhao.

Even if Li Mu has the ability to order the army under his command to fight one against two, what if the Qin army divides the troops?

The 200,000 army was divided into multiple routes by a group of deputy generals, tooth generals and partial generals, and blossomed everywhere in the hinterland of Zhao State.

No matter how powerful you Li Mu is, he is only one person, and almost every member of the Qin army has the ability to lead an army alone, is it possible that he can also use the doppelganger technique to deal with multiple armies at the same time?

For Li Mu's deputy general Sima Shang, Qin Jun has already done enough investigation.

This person can be a lieutenant general, but only a lieutenant general.

He and Li Mu have had a friendship for many years, and they have a tacit understanding, and they can fully implement any of Li Mu's orders, even if they are unreasonable.

However, if Sima Shang is allowed to lead the army alone, he can only be regarded as a mediocre general, and he can only barely defend one side.

The southern border of Qin and Chu is controlled by Meng Wu, and the old general Meng Wei is sitting on the border of Qin and Wei, and this old general who has beaten Wei several times in his life has become a nightmare for Wei.

In his lifetime, he captured more than 100 cities in the hands of the Three Jin Dynasty, especially in the Wei State. Therefore, even if there were no troops on the border between the two countries, the old figure on the border still overwhelmed the Wei border defenders.

In the end, with Yang Duanhe as the reserve army, he sat in the Lantian camp and was ready to support at any time.

……

Zhao Dudanhan, in the palace of King Zhao

After reading the declaration of war submitted by Yao Jia, who served as Qin's envoy, the burly and majestic Zhao Wangyan sat on the throne and said nothing. The tower-like body trembled slightly for a moment, and then regained its former calm.

Zhao Wangyan threw the national letter in his hand to the chamberlain on the side, his eyes swept over the panicked ministers and the Qin envoy standing proudly in the hall, and smiled softly.

"If the Qin State wants to fight, then it will come to fight, and the Zhao State is not afraid."

Zhao Wang Yan slapped the armrest on the throne suddenly, got up and shouted: "In the past Changping War, the Qin army slaughtered 450,000 of my Zhao people, but lost 200,000 under my Danhan City!" ”

"The widow remembers that the leading general at that time was Wang Ling, and then Wang Qi took over, but I don't want the Qin State to seem to have never recalled the defeat suffered under the city of Danhan in the past, and sent the defeated army to fight with the warriors of my Zhao State in the future?"

Zhao Wangyan sneered: "No one cares about the Qin Kingdom? ”

With Zhao Wangyan's sentence "No one cares about the Qin State", the courtiers who were originally a little sluggish instantly burst into laughter.

Although Wang Qi once beat Lian Po in the Battle of Changping, the old general was defeated and retreated, and the defense line was withdrawn again and again, if it were not for King Qin Zhaoxiang's hope for a quick victory, the glory of the Battle of Changping might be attributed to Wang Qi.

However, in the battle of Danhan, Wang Qi faced the Zhao people who were united and united, and it was difficult for the already tired Qin army to conquer this fortified city, and Wang Qi still went halfway to pick up the mess left by Wang Ling.

Morale is low, military rations are insufficient, soldiers are tired, and they have no intention of fighting, plus Zheng Anping is a waste to hold back.

At that time, Xin Lingjun led the coalition army to rescue Zhao, and in the face of a fresh army of 200,000 people, the Qin army was not only insufficient, but also the veteran soldiers of the division were tired.

Therefore, this time the Qin State took Wang Qi as the main general, in addition to Wang Qi's understanding of the Zhao army's combat style and tactics and the terrain of the Zhao State, he also had the idea of avenging the shame of the current head of the military.

"In the past, Zhao had the rescue of Han, Wei, and Chu, and only then did he have the defeat of Danhan." Yao Jia, as the envoy of Qin, also refused to back down at all, looked at Zhao Wangyan, and choked back, "Today's Zhao State, there will be no more foreign aid." ”

"Moreover, with all due respect, King Zhao and King Xiaocheng are far apart."

Yao Jia looked at Zhao Wangyan with visible contempt in his eyes: "King Zhao wants to defeat the Qin army, but don't you know where King Zhao's Xinping Jun and Pingyuan Jun are safe?" ”

"Today's Zhao Ting, but there is still Mao Suihu?"

Yao Jia's voice fell, and the hall was silent.

Xin Pingjun refers to Lian Po, and Pingyuan Jun refers to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Wangyan's eyes were red like a wounded lion, his breathing was heavy, and his hand on the hilt of his sword trembled.

As a son of man, he always aims for his own father and hopes to surpass his father.

As the king of a country, he naturally wants to surpass the previous kings in his contribution to the country.

Especially when the throne of Zhao Wangyan is not legal and reasonable.

In the past, Chunping Jun of Zhao was the preferred prince of King Zhao Xiaocheng.

King Zhao Xiaocheng had three sons, the eldest son was the crown prince, but he died of illness.

The second son is Chunpingjun, although King Zhao Xiaocheng has never canonized the crown prince, but the second son has been crowned Chunpingjun, and the third son Zhao Yan has no title reward, which is self-evident.

Later, Chunpingjun entered Qin as a hostage, and Zhao Yan, under Guo Kai's planning, secretly communicated with Lü Buwei, and designed that when King Zhao Xiaocheng died of illness, the more virtuous Chunpingjun would be forcibly left in Qin and refused to return, and Zhao Ting had no choice but to choose Zhao Yan as king.

Therefore, Zhao Wangyan wanted to make a career more and more in his heart, so that the old ministers who looked down on him in the past could see who was more suitable to be the king, so Zhao Wangyan agreed to Pang Xuan's strategy of attacking Qin, and raised the strength of the whole country to help him.

It's just that the combined column was defeated.

Moreover, over the years, the talented and virtuous old ministers of Zhao State have died.

There was only a group of flies and dogs left in the court, and his royal orders were hindered by a group of old ministers and nobles who relied on the old and sold the old and refused to let go, otherwise why would he reuse people like Guo Kai and Han Cang?

Didn't he know that Guo Kai and the others were villains?

They are villains, but they are faithful!

But when something really happened, whether it was Guo Kai and these villains, or the group of old ministers and nobles, they couldn't help anything.

Yes, among his courtiers, where are there still virtuous ministers like Lian Po and Zhao Sheng?

Zhao Wang Yan laughed and let go of the hilt of his sword.

But in the laughter, there was a little desolation, and his face became more and more pale, and his tower-like body was a little crumbling.

The heavy makeup on the side, the extraordinarily enchanting advocate looked at this isolated man, and felt a slight pain in his heart.

Zhao Wangyan is a very ambitious person, but he is also a very lonely person.

He seems to be burly and majestic, but he is actually very easy to satisfy, he only needs some care to be satisfied.

However, the courtiers couldn't give it, and the family ...... The nobles of Zhao State couldn't give it, there were no virtuous clan children like Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, and Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, there was only a group of jackals and hyenas who coveted power and wealth.

She and Guo Kai may be one of the few people who think about Zhao Wangyan wholeheartedly, but they really can't help Zhao Wangyan. She could only silently hug this man when Zhao Wangyan was sad.

Just when Zhao Wangyan was laughing, suddenly a loud shout came from outside the hall.

"Yes!"

A burly and majestic figure more burly than Zhao Wangyan slowly walked into the main hall, his hand pressed the long sword on his waist, his eyes were blazing, and he saluted Zhao Wangyan.

"Minister, Li Mu, the guard general of Yanmen Pass, led the army to replace the 150,000 border troops and came to relieve the king's worries!"

Zhao Wangyan looked at the figure in front of him excitedly, in the past, he was guarded day and night, and he dreamed that Li Mu, the guard general of Yanmen Pass who rebelled south and went south to Danhan, on behalf of the border army, was now in a national crisis, but he took the initiative to lead his troops to the south and was willing to go to the national disaster with him.

"Good! The widow's 'Xinping Jun' is gone! ”

Zhao Wangyan excitedly shook Li Mu's hand, compared Li Mu to Lian Po, and did not hesitate to praise himself.

"There is General Li Mu in the widowhood, why not be afraid of the Qin army!"

"Pass on the king's order, with Li Mu as the general of Zhao State, fake Xiangbang, since the widow is below, only Li Mu's order is from!"

Zhao Wangyan laughed again, this time there was a touch of joy in the laughter.

……

The court meeting dispersed, and Li Mu and several generals of Daidi, plus Zhao Cong, Yan Ju and other Zhao generals were all summoned into the palace by Zhao Wangyan to discuss the method of retreating from Qin.

However, the scattered ministers had a completely different view from Zhao Wangyan on Li Munan's next matter.

"The generation is about to rise."

"Hehe, the 150,000 army drove straight into the capital of Zhao without the king's edict, and I don't know if it is dedicated to the country or has different aspirations?"

All the courtiers expressed great displeasure to Li Mu's arrival, although they knew that Li Mu could only defend Zhao by going south, they still felt unhappy about Li Mu's arrival.

After all, as soon as the civil and military of the Daidi family arrived, they were entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Wangyan and handed over several important positions to the generations, especially Li Mu.

He is also a general in charge of the national military power, and a fake state in charge of the country's government affairs.

Zhao and the people of Dai have been grudging for a long time, just a few years ago during the Battle of Hezhong, Zhao Wangyan also secretly sent Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to clamp down on the border army of Daidi, and because of their retreat, the border army of Daidi suffered heavy casualties, and added a new hatred.

The generals of the Daidi line, in addition to those who were originally born in Daidi, were the losers of the political struggle that they suppressed and degraded Daidi.

In the past, Li Mu also served as the Xiangbang of King Zhao Xiaocheng, and went to Qin to meet with King Xiang of Qin Zhuang as Xiangbang in person, signed an alliance, and briefly took back the hostages and brought back Chunpingjun, who served as a proton.

Therefore, after Zhao Wangyan always thought that Li Mu supported Chunping Jun, after ascending the throne, he drove Li Mu back to Daidi.

And if Li Mu returns, it means that the courtiers who drove Li Mu to the land together in the past may suffer a political reckoning.

Even if Li Mu is righteous, he can ignore personal honor and disgrace, but what about those civil and military people who represent the land?

Those people are either generations who are not on good terms with the Zhao people, or they are demoted in the failure of the political struggle, and they have a deep blood feud with the ministers in the court today.

If the people of the Daidi family gain power, will they be spared?

In other words, will Li Mu be aggrieved and loyal to his own civil and military affairs for the sake of them?

"It's okay, the prince doesn't like to be replaced."

Among the ministers, Young Master Han Cang suddenly opened his mouth and sneered.

Like Guo Kai, Han Cang was a close minister of Prince Qian, and he was also the young master designated by Zhao Wangyan.

The Taifu began with Qi and was the teacher of the prince.

Han Cang, as a close minister of Prince Qian's teacher and friend, naturally understands Prince Qian's preferences, and is as flattering and sycophant as Guo Kai in the past, and at the same time continues to instill the concept of ambitious and intent to usurp this prince Qian.

When the rest of the courtiers heard this, they turned their worries into joy.

Who would have thought that the burly and majestic King Zhao would be strong on the outside?

Zhao Wangyan was seriously ill, he thought he was hiding it well, but the ministers had already known about it.

In fact, Zhao Wangyan's health has not been very good since last year, and he summoned many famous doctors but they were helpless, and he had a tendency to fall down just now, and it was obvious that he was indeed terminally ill.

According to the news from the palace, Zhao Wangyan has few days to live, and his time is running out.

And let the people of the Daidi family be prosperous for a period of time, and when the Qin army retreats and the prince moves to the throne, the Zhao court is not their Zhao people who have the final say?

As for the group of guys in Daidi, they Zhao Dada, for the sake of retreating from Qin, let them return to Daidi safe and sound!
