When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 256 Competition

"So, I have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for this opportunity." Li Mu said and stood up.

"Am I in a mess these days?" Li Mu came to the basin, which contained clear water that he was supposed to use for washing up, but this basin of clear water was too clear, and Li Mu's expression was too tired.

"The general is saying that if we withdraw our troops at this time, Huan Jue will definitely come after us, and our army can take this opportunity to eat Huan Jue and the [-] Qin troops under his command?" Sima Shang hesitated.

"Yes, my embarrassment is Huanju's confidence." Li Mu put his hands into the basin as he said, he hadn't washed his face for three days.

"At this time, Huan Jue will believe in my embarrassment, and will give up the last sliver of worry. As long as I leave, he will definitely come after me." Li Mu said, splashing clear water on his face, feeling his whole body shaken.

He has been looking forward to this state for a long time.

When Li Mu was talking about Huan Jue, he was also observing his opponent in the Qin army camp.

"King Zhao has issued seven edicts, Ling'er, how long do you think Li Mu can last?" Huan Jue looked at the report in his hand.

"At most eight ways, Zhao Wangyan's endurance is limited." Bai Ling said.

"Li Mu is indeed a formidable enemy. Before this, who would have thought that in Zhao State, there would be a general who could stand up to Lian Po. Zhao State's military fortune is not inferior to our Qin State's." Huan Yu said.

These days, Huan Jue was able to guess what Li Mu was thinking, so he chose not to stand firm in the face of Li Mu's provocation.

Huan Juan knew very well that if he changed positions with Li Mu, he would also choose Li Mu's approach. This is the wisdom and courage that a famous general should possess.

"It's a pity that King Zhao is too stupid. Compared with the great king, he is far behind, so far away that it is too horrible to look at." Bai Ling laughed.

"It's too stupid, so stupid that I don't know it." Huan Juan said.

"However, the more Li Mu can't hold on, the more likely he is to give it a go. The more this is the case, the more we must hold our breath." Huan Yu said.

"Exactly." Bai Ling said.

At this moment, a man dressed in plain clothes came down into the big tent led by a personal guard next to Huan Jue.

"General, I just intercepted and killed a Zhao Jun spy. Under interrogation, it seems that he came from Yanmen County." The visitor reported.

"Come here from Yanmen County, could it be that Li Mu has already received news from Yanmen County?" Huan Ji asked in shock.

All his judgments about Li Mu were based on Li Mu's ignorance of the specific situation of Yanmen County. Only if Yanmen County never fell could Li Mu disobey Zhao Wangyan's military orders and seek opportunities to fight against the Qin army.

Once Li Mu knows that Yanmen County has fallen into Qin's hands, then his insistence will be meaningless, and he will retreat as quickly as possible. At that time...
Huan Ji didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Give the order, raise your troops to prepare for battle." Huan Jue walked out of the barracks.

Once Li Mu got the news that Yanmen County had fallen into Qin's hands, he would definitely withdraw his troops, and letting Li Mu safely withdraw to Zhaodu would be a big failure for Qin's army.

After passing Bai Ling, Huanju knew very well that the biggest purpose of Yingzheng's conquest of Zhao State this time was Li Mu and his Zhao Jun Bianqi. Obtaining Yanmen County was also a failure.

No matter what, I can't let Li Mu retreat back to Zhaodu safely, I have to stop him here until the day when the main force joins me.Huan Juan looked at the barracks road in front of him.

When Huan Yu gathered his troops, Zhao Jun's barracks in the distance also began to tidy up the camp and prepare to withdraw.

"Report, general, the Zhao army is gathering troops and dismantling the camp. It seems to be withdrawing." In less than a moment, another scout sent back the latest military information.

"As expected, Li Mu still wants to escape." Huan Yu couldn't help but strengthened his judgment in his heart.

I must take the initiative to attack and slow down Zhao Jun's withdrawal speed.Huan Juan thought in his heart.

In this way, on the vast plain in the hinterland of Zhao State, a scene of infantry chasing cavalry was staged.

Two days later, in a wilderness in the hinterland of Zhao State.

"It's not right, it's not right." As the chief general of the Qin army, Huan Juan got off his horse, squatted on the ground, and pressed his hands to the ground.

"General, is there something wrong?" Bai Ling in armor asked.

"There's something wrong with this piece of land, don't move, Bai Ling, follow me and look forward." Huan Jue stood up and said, but at this moment, his face had become rather ugly.

"Yes." Bai Ling also saw the seriousness of the situation from Huan Juan's expression at this time, so he didn't say much, and followed Huan Juan closely.

The two soon came to the front army from the central army, but Huan Juan didn't intend to stop at all, and continued to move forward until they passed the front army and walked a distance of nearly a mile before turning over and dismounting.

It was still the same action just now, squatting down to the ground, pressing the ground with his hands, this time he pulled out the saber from his waist, and thrust it into the ground until it was deeply buried in the soil.

"Grandpa Huan, is there something wrong?" Bai Ling asked, vaguely having a bad premonition.

"Not sure, let's go a little further." Huan Yu said.

"Yes." Bai Ling said.

In this way, the two walked forward a distance of one mile.

Here, Huan Yu thrust the saber, which he had always regarded as a friend, into the ground.

"The matter is a little serious." Huan Yu said solemnly.

"Grandpa Huan, what did you find?" Bai Ling asked.

"The Zhao army in front of us has divided up." Huan Juan said.

"Grandpa Huan, how did you make such a judgment?" Bai Ling asked puzzled.

Can you see the division of Zhao Jun just by looking at the ground?This kind of knowledge is obviously beyond Bai Ling's cognition at this time.

"This road, the ground that Zhao Jun's war horses stepped on and the [-] riders stepped on not long ago, is extremely hard, but the ground here is not as hard as the [-] riders stepped on." Huan Yu said.

"Hardness?" Bai Ling looked at the ground. On the ground, the horseshoe marks and ruts were still very clear, but...

"Could it be that Zhao Jun's horizontal line became wider and the column became shorter, which made the hardness of the ground change?" Bai Ling hesitated.

"Zhao Jun's line hasn't widened." Huan Yu said, looking to the side.

"What is the purpose of Zhao Jun's division of troops at this time?" Bai Ling asked puzzled.

"Li Mu, what a Li Mu, this is to lead our army deep into the Zhao land, and then he will surround us from places we didn't expect, and then annihilate us." Huan Juan thought of a possibility at this time.

Li Mu and the side cavalry of the Zhao army under his command divided the troops without his knowledge, and if he had been chasing the Zhao army in front, once a special terrain appeared, those side cavalry of the Zhao army that had been separated would follow his own Out of nowhere.....

Huan Yu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Using steps against cavalry, once the formation of heavy armored soldiers is caught off guard by Zhao Jun's side cavalry, the consequences will be unimaginable.
