The Hexi County Ya, which has become the temporary residence of the Zhao army, has a dull and solemn atmosphere at this time.

Li Mu, who was in the county office, sat above the chief and was silent.

The outcome of this Jinyin battle caught all of them off guard.

180,000 on their own side and 30,000 on the other side.

It is unbelievable that such an almost winnable situation should be fought to the end, and only about 50,000 remnants of the army remained.

Rao is Li Mu's decades of career, such an experience has never been there.

The strength of the other party's army, until the start of the war, he had never seen or heard of it.

In the final analysis, it is the lack of intelligence gathered that will lead to such a situation.

It's all the Black Clothes Society who mistook me!

Li Mu couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart.

Just now he happened to know that before the war, King Wu had uprooted the stronghold of the Black-Coated Society in Luling, which showed that the Black-Coated Society's actions to collect intelligence in Ying County had already been detected by Ying County.

The reason why they hid until before the war was carried out was clearly a deliberate attempt to cover up or convey wrong information to them.

And from beginning to end, the black-clothed society in Luling City did not find out, and it was really incompetent.

But it's a little too late to say anything now.

Since this has happened, the rest needs to be remedied.

Except for the shallow river, Hexi City has no danger to defend.

Even if you want to fight back, even if you add follow-up reinforcements, it will be a little difficult.

It's best to be in Hedong City.

There is a Tibetan military road over there, which can be small and big.

In the past, it was planned to borrow Hexi City to consolidate the rear, but now that the war is defeated, it is no longer meaningful to continue to stay here.

Li Mu sorted out his thoughts, his eyes swept over the faces of his subordinates one by one, and said, "What do you want to say about this battle of Jinyin?" ”

The generals of Zhao Guo, who were standing in the hall, knelt down and said, "The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." ”

"I'll talk about the punishment later, but the top priority now is to straighten out the remnants of the army." Li Mu said solemnly: "The elders of the Haoran Sect are about to arrive in Hedong City, and we will have 170,000 troops available at our disposal at that time, and if we forcibly recruit 30,000 troops from Hedong City, we can use another 200,000 troops. ”

"We still have the strength to fight, so we will be ashamed and brave, and we will perform meritorious service in the next battle. If you lose again. Li Mu stood up from the main seat, and his eyes became fierce.

He drew the sword from his waist and threw it in front of the generals with a clatter: "You should all apologize for your sins." ”

Many of the generals of Zhao Guo in the hall were shocked, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

"Tonight, I will rush back to Hedong overnight, and you all go down to prepare."

After dropping an order, Li Mu retreated from the lobby with his hands on his back.

……

After half a day, the battlefield outside Jinyin City was cleaned up.

After inventory, in the battle of Jinyin, 30,000 Wei soldiers annihilated about 120,000 Zhao troops, captured 500 chariots, and countless other armors, weapons, scattered wish stones, and silver coins.

And Wei Wushu killed 3,000 people and injured 6,000 people.

It was a big win.

After this battle, Wu Qi completely consolidated his position in Wei Wu's pawn, and even his name in the Eastern Army was well known by a group of well-intentioned people.

He held the sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were sharp: "As His Royal Highness the Martial King said, it is time not to use a conservative style of play, and the results of the battle should be expanded." If you want to be famous, you should do it bigger. ”

There was a murderous aura rising up in him.

The other Wei generals who were close to him looked up in surprise, and almost subconsciously took a step back, not daring to stand side by side with him.

In a trance, they found that the head who got along day and night became a little strange, and their temperament changed a lot.

Wu Qi's deep gaze sensed a hint of abnormality and realized that he was different.

He knew that this was the condensation of killing intent after cultivating the Killing Sutra, and it was also the reason why many Wei generals were not powerful and angry.

Speaking of which, there are not many generals in the Wei State who can cultivate the Killing Scripture, and Wu Qi feels like a dream every time he thinks that he can cultivate this immortal martial arts.

He took refuge in Zhao Hongming as their follower at that time, and now that he thinks about it, it was the most correct decision in his life.

At a young age, not only is he cultivated as a demon, but he also has the potential to chase the world and become a hero.

In that case, it is better to put him in that position.

No, maybe higher.

Under Wu Qi's calm face, he was faintly excited, and he called the generals under his command to give an order: "Pass the order, tonight the third watch will make dinner, and the fifth watch will send troops, there must be no mistake." ”

The subordinates were shocked, and there was no rebuttal: "Yes." ”

Wei Wushu is composed of martial artists, and even in the middle of the night, he still has good eyesight, so the late-night march is not in the way.

Besides, now that Wei Wushu is in full swing, his morale is available, and he shouldn't miss the fighter for a long time.

Zhao Hongming, who was removed from the battlefield, returned to Jinyin City.

Many officials and the people of the city carried pots and pulp to meet them under the city gates.

When Zhao Hongming walked to the city gate, the officials took the lead and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory!" ”

"Congratulations on your triumph!"

“……”

Zhao Hongming, who was sitting in the carriage, was shocked by the movement outside, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on outside?" ”

Outside the carriage, Gao Yanshi's sharp voice came: "Back to His Highness, it is many officials of Jinyin City who have learned of His Highness's great victory, and they have brought the people of Jinyin City to congratulate him." ”

Zhao Hongming frowned, and said indifferently: "When this king leaves the palace, he brings some money, you go and get some rewards for everyone, and this king will not come forward." ”

"The minions obey."

Zhao Hongming probably guessed that this should be the local officials in Jinyin who were shocked by his soldiers and deliberately curry favor at this time.

He didn't have much interest in it.

There is a good saying, the poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Once people gain power, there will be more people around them who are flattering.

It's human nature, and it's inevitable.

In the future, if he continues to open up new situations, this situation will only increase.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongming has a [Heavenly Reward for Diligence] martial arts panel, and the two sentences that appeared in his sight kept him vigilant at all times.

Let him know that he has no one to support him all the way, which is the result of his hard work and self-improvement.

Zhao Hongming's consciousness moved, and the progress of his cultivation in his eyes was also revealed at the same time.

[Name: Zhao Hongming]

[Cultivation Exercises: Eight Desolations and Immortal Skills-Martial Courage Three Grades (1424/500000), Array Dao Sutra Mastery (679/1000), Thunder Destruction Dharma Body-Martial Courage One Product (1123/100000)]

[Breakthrough Martial Arts: None]

[Today's practice time: 2 hours]

[Constitution: Thunder Annihilation Body]

[Root Bone Bonus: 8]

"Today's cultivation time is a little less, and the martial arts industry can't be wasted." Zhao Hongming exhaled lightly, calmed down, and put more energy into cultivation.

His motorcade hurried through the crowd.

From beginning to end, Zhao Hongming did not show up, which made the officials and people present show a little disappointed expression.

Almost at the same time, it was far away in Hedong County of Zhao State, a hundred miles away.

100,000 recruits came from the Zhao army, winding like a mountain python, heading west.

Towards evening, this 100,000 Zhao army bypassed Hedong City and came to the vicinity of a large river.

"After crossing this river, it is the territory of Wei Guoying County, and now General Li Mu has occupied Hedong City, and when it dawns tomorrow, I can cross the river and join General Li Mu."

A Zhao Guojun leader wearing armor walked up to the three elders of Haoran Sect and said humbly.

The elder of the Haoran Sect, who was the leader, nodded and said, "There are many ordinary people in the army who have not cultivated, and it is indeed inconvenient to forcibly cross the river at night. ”

Seeing that the elders of the Haoran Sect had no intention of crossing the river at night, the general of the Zhao State was relieved.

Finally, before dark, the army picked a place nearby to camp and rest.

In the middle of the night, the river between the east and west of the river flows horizontally.

There was a full moon hanging in the sky.

Bright moonlight poured on the surface of the river, sparkling like a shining silver ribbon.

Under the light of the moon, the river flows with a bit of clarity and agility.

When the breeze blows, the moonlight on the river ripples with the water, and there are layers of silver ripples, mixed with the chirping of many insects and frogs.

Near the bank on the west side of the river, there was a jumble of footsteps, and there were many people.

Crash!

Waves rippled on the sparkling water, and the Milky Way and the full moon reflected on the river were all crushed by the waves.

"Everyone, cross the river in an orderly manner!" Someone on the shore shouted an order.

The moonlight was bright, illuminating the ground very clearly.

These people who crossed the river were the remnants of the Zhao army that had been withdrawn from Hexi City, and Li Mu.

This place is the place where Li Mu crossed the river before, and it is relatively familiar.

But what they didn't expect was that the river was a little deeper at night than during the day, reaching waist-deep at its deepest point.

The sudden change in the water of the river caused certain difficulties for the army to cross the river.

Have there been any soldiers who have practiced martial arts, and when they accidentally slipped and fell in the river, they were swept away by the river and their whereabouts are unknown.

Seeing such a scene, Li Mu summoned the general who had previously surveyed the hydrology, and without saying a word, he waved the whip in his face.

"That's what you did as a result of your hydrological exploration?"

The general bowed his head and said nothing.

He didn't expect the river to change in depth day and night.

Li Mu said coldly: "From today on, you will be demoted to the rank of commander and lead the army to fight on the front line. ”

The general's face was stunned.

"What, do you have an opinion?"

The general bowed his head and said, "The general will admit punishment." ”

"Hmph, there is more than enough success and more failure." After Li Mu dropped a sentence, he drove his horse down the river.

The subordinates behind him flashed their eyes, didn't say a word, and silently followed.

After an hour of tossing, the remnants of the Zhao army successfully crossed the river and entered the territory of the Zhao State.

Li Mu rode his horse and looked back: "After this battle, the little-known general Wu Qi must be ambitious, and he will not stop at Hexi, and it is very likely to attack Hedong." In this way, it can lengthen its battle line and increase its logistical pressure. As long as I close up the old department and occupy the advantageous location, I will be able to get rid of the shame. ”

He turned his horse and walked in the direction of Hedong City.

The army had not traveled more than two miles when a scout came to report.

"General, there is a large camp of our army ahead."

Li Mu said unexpectedly: "It should be the elders of Haoran Sect that they have arrived, I thought they would rest in Hedong City, but I didn't expect to reach the border of Wei and Zhao so quickly." Ordered the army, turned around, and joined the army of Haoran Sect. ”

"Yes!"

Under Li Mu's orders, the 50,000 soldiers changed direction.

Soon, Li Mu, who was walking at the forefront of the army, saw the garrison of the army that came later.

In the middle of the night, the camp of the 100,000-strong army that followed was unusually quiet.

The tents and tents stood silently in the moonlight, and most of the soldiers rested quietly, except for the occasional grinding of iron armor and the clashing of weapons in the ranks patrolling the barracks.

The bonfires in the barracks had been extinguished, but the smoke was still wafting away, clearly visible in the moonlight.

Someone found traces of the remnants of Li Mu, alarming the patrols in the camp.

One by one, the torches lit up.

A soldier shouted from afar, "Who is coming?" ”

Li Mu turned his head and said, "Wave the banner of our army." ”

Under his command, a large banner with the character "Zhao" was waved in a way peculiar to the Zhao army, conveying a friendly message.

It was clear that the patrol could not make its own decisions, and some people left the team and went back to report.

After a while, a heavily armed Zhao army rushed out and rushed to the vicinity of Li Mu.

After Li Mu saw the person who came, he shouted loudly: "The person who came is Gu Changzhou? ”

"Ah, it's General Li Mu?!" Zhao Jun, who rushed over, heard a familiar voice and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General, why are you here?" ”

"It's a long story." Li Mu diverted the topic and said, "Have all the elders of the Haoran Sect arrived?" ”

"Already in the barracks."

"I have something to see them."

"The elders of the Haoran Sect are in the main tent, and I will bring General Li Mu over."

Li Mu bowed his head and followed behind Gu Changzhou.

This was a makeshift camp, and only a few generals set up barracks, and most of the remaining soldiers gathered together and slept in their clothes.

In the center of the barracks, a newly erected main tent appeared before him.

"The elders of the Haoran Sect are all inside."

Haoran Sect is a behemoth in Zhao State, even Li Mu, who is the general of Zhao State, also needs to be careful in front of them, he tidy up his appearance and said: "Li Mu has something to ask to see Elder Haoran Sect. ”

The elders of the Haoran Sect are all cultivators of the Martial Courage Realm, with strong qi and blood all over their bodies and powerful spirits.

When Li Mu approached, they were already aware of it.

"Come in."

Li Mu lifted the main tent and walked in.

In the main tent, the three elders sat cross-legged on three large beds to cultivate.

In front of them were all kinds of melons and fruits, snacks and roasted meat, which seemed extravagant and wasteful during the march.

"Isn't General Li Mu in Hexi City, why did he come here in the middle of the night?"

"Alas......" Li Mu sighed, slightly concealing his results in Jinyin City.

The three Haoran Sect elders who heard the news for the first time were all incredulous, their faces were full of shock, they only knew that the situation on the front line was not good, and they didn't expect it to be so erosive.

"General Li Mu, you're not joking with us, are you? Your dignified army of 180,000 can't even withstand the 30,000 people of Wei, and even the local army of Ying County? ”

Li Mu said: "Although I was a little surprised, it was the case. This time, I'm here to discuss with the three of you what to do next. ”
