When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 258

In August of the seventh year of Qin Wangzheng, Zhao Jun rode [-] troops and encircled Qin State's [-] heavily armored soldiers four hundred miles north of Zhaodu.

Zhao Du, the royal palace.

"Li Mu surrounded the Qin army under Huanju?" Guo Kai looked at the military report he got from Zhao Wangyan, and was stunned for a moment.

"Already surrounded, Li Mu asked Gu to send reinforcements to try to wipe out the [-] Qin troops under Huanju as soon as possible." Zhao Wangyan said inexplicably.

"Is Your Majesty going to send reinforcements to support Li Mu?" Guo Kai asked carefully.

Guo Kai knew very well that before Zhao Wangyan showed his inclination, he must not talk nonsense, otherwise at this moment that could be related to the life and death of Zhao Guo, rashly expressing his attitude may bring unpredictable disasters to the enemy.

"I'm hesitating." Zhao Wangyan said.

"What is your majesty hesitating about?" Guo Kai asked together.

"Li Mu surrounded the [-] Qin army under Huanjue. Gu knew very well that at this time, as long as Gu sent [-] reinforcements, even [-] reinforcements, he would be able to wipe out the [-] troops under Huanjue in the shortest possible time. The Qin army, however, even if they wiped out the [-] Qin army under Huanju, there are still hundreds of thousands of Qin troops behind them." Zhao Wangyan said distressedly.

"At that time, in case the Qin army is annihilated due to the annihilation of the Qin army under Huanyu, the state of Qin will fully attack the state of Zhao, and the current strength of the state of Zhao is simply not enough to resist the Qin army." Zhao Wangyan said with a bitter expression on his face. .

Now he really regrets it. He regrets that he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Who would have thought that the [-] wolf army would be defeated so quickly, but when the wolf army was defeated, it was too late. No, now he only wants to mobilize the [-] Zhao Jun side riders to his side as soon as possible, so that he can have the strength to guard the capital.

As long as the capital is still in hand, everything still has a chance.

However, the current Li Mu gave him a difficult problem.

Zhao Wangyan knew very well what a temptation it was to annihilate the [-] Qin army under Huanju, but after this temptation, there was another huge crisis, and he really couldn't bear the risk.

"My lord, maybe we can promote peace through war." Guo Kai said tentatively.

"Tell me carefully." Zhao Wangyan said with some interest.

"The only thing that can save our Zhao country is the heroism of our Zhao people. If we can annihilate the [-] Qin army under Huanjue, maybe we can show Qin that our Zhao country is not easy to defeat, and force Its withdrawal." Guo Kai said without forgetting to observe Zhao Wangyan's expression.

Of course, these words were not Guo Kai’s original intention. He said these just to test Zhao Wangyan’s true thoughts deep in his heart, and no matter how he said it, he was out of loyalty. Even if he said something wrong, nothing would happen. Bad consequences, after all, loyalty can be forgiven.

"If it was someone else, the possibility you mentioned might happen, but he is Qin Wangzheng, so everything is hard to say. Based on Qin Wangzheng's previous behavior, if our state of Zhao annihilates the [-] people under Huanju's subordinate Qin Army, not only will he not withdraw his troops, but he will increase his troops." Zhao Wangyan said.

"Besides, even if he doesn't increase his troops, the strength in his hands at this time is just a terrifying force. You must know that after the defeat of the [-] wolf army, he got a lot of wolf prisoners. If he uses those wolf clan members again, his force will be even more terrifying." Zhao Wangyan continued.

"Then the king ordered Li Mu to let go of the Qin army under Huanju?" Guo Kai asked tentatively.

"It doesn't work like this. The strength of the Qin army is not lost, so it will strengthen the determination of the Qin army." Zhao Wangyan denied.

"My lord, if this is the case, then we can only make a compromise." Guo Kai said.

"Compromise?" Zhao Wangyan asked doubtfully.

"Reinforcement troops must be sent, but they will not attack the Qin army under Huanjue. On the condition that the Qin army under Huanjue is a condition, we will negotiate peace with Qin." Guo Kaidao.

Hearing Guo Kai's suggestion, Zhao Wangyan hesitated for a long time before he said leisurely, "Guo Kai, you are really talented."

"Your Majesty praised you." Guo Kai responded with a modest smile.

"That's it, let's fight to promote peace." Zhao Wangyan said with a calm smile.

With his wisdom, Guo Kai's plan has a great possibility of success. In this way, Zhao Guo can survive the current catastrophe. As for the future, there is no extra ability to plan future things.

On the battlefield in Zhao State, Li Mu watched from afar the side cavalry of Zhao Jun who charged again and again, with a pair of slightly anxious eyes on his calm face.

"General, the Qin army's organizational structure has not been disrupted, and its morale and physical strength have not declined. Our charge has not been effective." Sima Shang, who hastily withdrew from the battlefield, came to Li Mu and said.

"I know." Li Mu said calmly.

"General, such a charge will cause too many casualties for our army." Sima Shang said again.

"The casualties of the Qin army were even greater." Li Mu said calmly.

"General?" Sima Shang looked at Li Mu in astonishment.

Is this still the Zhenyue Excalibur from the northern border of Zhao State who loved soldiers like sons?For a moment, Sima Shang felt a cold murderous aura from Li Mu's body. That kind of murderous aura was aimed at Qin Jun, but the indifference under that coldness was aimed at Zhao Jun's side cavalry.

"We have to race against time," Li Mu said.

"Time?" Sima Shang asked.

"Now I have figured out why Huan Juan still didn't choose to retreat when he found something wrong. When we were plotting against him, he was also plotting against us," Li Mu said.

"He used himself as a bait for the purpose of holding us back until the main force of the Qin army goes south." Li Mu spoke with a solemn expression.

"If, as the general said, the main force of the Qin army can arrive in time, wouldn't we be in danger?" Sima Shang said in shock.

"That's why we have to race against time, even if we have to pay a higher price because of the strong attack." Li Mu said.

"General, you are gambling." Sima Shang said worriedly.

"It's not just me who is betting, Huan Yu is also betting, and even Qin Wangzheng himself is betting. On the battlefield, I really can't help myself." Li Mu said.

"Ugh."

With Sima Shang's sigh, Zhao Jun's side cavalry launched a high-intensity attack on Huan Yu's heavy armored soldiers for three days.

During these three days, although the Qin army suffered tragic casualties due to the reasons for its persistence, in this era without heavy armored cavalry, the price that the light armored cavalry charged against the heavy armored infantry was also very heavy. The troops on the side of the army are more prosperous.

In the fourth day of the attack on the Qin army launched by Zhao Jun's frontier cavalry, an army appeared only ten miles north of the battlefield.

"The Qin army's reinforcements have arrived?" In the Zhao army's camp, Li Mu looked at the information sent back by the scouts, his hand stroking his long beard trembled, and a handful of beard fell off.
