Qin Gong

Chapter 233 The method of the later generations of 'Soldier Immortals'.

"What, Qin Qi returned to aid Yanyu!"

On the upper reaches of the Zhangshui River, inside Zhao Jun's camp, Li Mu looked at Sima Shang in shock, he doubted his ears a bit.

Not only Li Mu.

The other generals of the Zhao State were all stunned at the same moment, their eyes full of disbelief.

"How is it possible, how could the Qin cavalry army suddenly return to aid Yanyu!"

"That is, the Qin cavalry had just fought our army on the Zhangshui River before. Could it be that the Qin cavalry returned to Yanyu just after the battle?"

In the discussion of a general named Zhao Guo.

Everyone didn't understand why Qin Jun's cavalry suddenly returned to Yanyu.

It doesn't make sense!

How could it be possible for the general of the Qin Army to guess in such a short period of time that Lord Wu An had ordered General Sima Shang to lead the army to cross the mountains from the dry stream.

This is absolutely impossible!If they were not Zhao people, if they hadn't seen Lord Wu An give the order with their own eyes, they might not have thought of the river course, let alone Qin people.And in such a short time.

inside the tent.

Hearing the generals' comments, Li Mu frowned.

At this time, the young General Qin that he saw with his own eyes that day appeared in Li Mu's mind.

Recalling the way that General Qin bowed his hands to him, Li Mu knew that he underestimated General Qin at that time.

That's it.

With Wang Jian's stability, Qin's army should arrive here soon.

thought here.

"Pass my order, the whole army returns to Jingxing!"

Li Mu turned his head to look at the generals of Zhao Guo, and gave an order.

It's a pity to miss the opportunity, but he can still rely on Jingxing Pass to stop Qin's army.

Even if Wang Jian personally leads the army, it is absolutely impossible for him to capture Jingxing Pass.

"promise!"

"promise!!!"

Hearing Li Mu's order, Sima Shang, Yi Fang, Hui Pu and other generals of Zhao surrendered their hands and left.

late April.

In the hot weather, it is obviously time for farming, but the people who are farming in the fields have to face the situation of having no land to cultivate.

The land is dry and cracked, and there is no water to raise the fields. I don't know how many people think of the old and young at home, with yellow hands, wiping the corners of their eyes that are crying anxiously, while still digging sand and digging soil in the fields.

Yan and the city.

Bai Yan, who was wearing common clothes, knelt in the study room in the mansion, looking at the bamboo slips.

A young woman came to Bai Yan with tea and poured a pot of tea for Bai Yan.

In front of Bai Yan, three plates of wild fruits were quietly placed on the wooden table.

"General! The bamboo slips sent by General Wang Jian!"

A Qin soldier came to the study room, gave the bamboo slips to Bai Yan, and left.

Bai Yan opened the bamboo slip and looked at the content on it.

Three days have passed since the battle between Yan and Yu.

On the day Wang Jian arrived at Yanyu, because he was worried that Sima Shang and Li Mu would meet, he led his army and rushed towards Jingxing.

Because Bai Yan's iron cavalry had just experienced a big battle and needed to rest, so they stayed in Yanyu.

the most important is.

Wang Jian was worried about the logistics of food and grass. Facing Zhao Bianqi, without iron cavalry, it would be very dangerous if the food and grass were sent to Jingxing.

"Zhao Jun really retreated!"

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips and said in detail, General Wang Jian led his troops to meet up with Wang Ben's [-] troops at the bank of Zhangshui River, while Sima Shang and Li Mu of the Zhao army left the bank of Zhangshui River and retreated to Jingxing Pass without knowing when. .

"Jingxing Pass!"

Bai Yan whispered the familiar name, took the bamboo slips, got up slowly, left the wooden table, and walked past the young maid.

Come to the layout hanging in the study.

Bai Yan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked at Jingxing's position on the layout map.

According to the news received before, there are two roads in Jingxing, Jingxing North Road and Jingxing South Road.

The road on the South Road is difficult and dangerous, and there are many places where it is easy to set up an ambush along the way. If you pass by rashly, you will be easily ambushed.

On the other hand, the terrain of the North Road is relatively flat, which is suitable for marching. However, when leaving the mountains, they still have to face the Zhishui River, and the other side of the river is a dead end.

These two roads are natural dangers and difficult to overcome.

However, in my memory, there was a person known as the "Soldier Immortal" in later generations, who fought a famous battle after crossing the Zhishui River in Beidao.

thought here.

Bai Yan picked up the bamboo slips again, looked at the contents, and confirmed that General Wang Jian was also going north.

"Northern Road!"

Bai Yan looked at the map.

Because he didn't know whether it was Li Mu or Sima Shang who was guarding the other side of the Zhishui River, so Bai Yan finally thought about it, and did not write down the method used by the soldier immortal in later generations, and sent it to Wang Jian.

After all, that method requires many conditions, and the most important thing is that Zhao Bianqi and the Daibei Army are on the opposite side, far from the army that was hastily pulled out by later generations and has not been trained on horses.

The method of 'Soldier Immortal' is really too dangerous.

But if you think about it from another angle, the soldiers under his command are far superior to that of the "Soldier Immortal" in terms of morale and elite level.

Although the probability of success is extremely low, if there is really no other way, at the last moment, it does not mean that there is no chance to try.

"The premise is to find a way to let Li Mu go to the South Road! Let Sima Shang stay in the North Road!"

Bai Yan looked at the map and muttered softly, then looked at the map with a pensive look on his face.

Both Zhao Bianqi and Dai Beijun were elites brought out by Li Mu. No matter Dai Beijun or Zhao Bianqi, their trust and love for Li Mu were unmatched.

If one day it is necessary to cross the river through the North Road, then Li Mu must not be on the other side of the water control.

"It's a pity that the status in the king's heart is not high enough, otherwise we will know whether the king will use the divorce plan."

Bai Yan shook his head, remembering that the bamboo slips that he wrote to Xianyang back then contained a plan for divorce.

Unfortunately.

His title or status is still too low. If he can become an important minister like Wang Jian and Yao Jia, the king will definitely restore him when he sees the bamboo slips.

Even if he is now in Zhao country.

"General!"

At this time, Chai came in from outside the study.

Bai Yan turned his head and saw that Chai's face was a bit unhappy, so he put away the bamboo slips.

"General, I have roughly understood that due to years of drought, there are less than one hundred people in Yan and the people in the city who still have food."

Chai said to Bai Yan.

And his words made Bai Yan's expression change.

Bai Yan knew that the people of Zhao State were miserable, but he still didn't expect it to be so miserable, less than one hundred people had food in their families.

Thinking of the number of people without food behind this number, Bai Yan panicked.

It seems that under the years of drought, the people of Zhao State have starved to death.

Thinking of my parents, as well as my grandmother, they are all common people.

Remember what they look like.

Bai Yan closed his eyes and tried hard to think if there was any way to save the people of Zhao country.

"General, do you want to take out the money first?"

Chai looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.

Bai Yan opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Those belong to the soldiers, and they are not allowed to move under any circumstances."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the wooden table, took another scroll of unwritten bamboo slips, slowly spread them out, and started to write with pen and ink.

Right now, the people of the State of Zhao have to face two difficulties. The first is that there is no food, and the second is that they need to build water conservancy.

Bai Yan wanted to write to Xianyang.

Although Bai Yan didn't know about his bamboo slips, whether it worked or not.

But in any case, give it a try, wars belong to wars, and people belong to people.

However, unlike other virtuous ministers who have gone down in history, Bai Yan did not start from the aspect of justice in the bamboo slips, but thought of the king's expectation for the unification of the world, from the three aspects of Zhao people's bravery, weakness of Zhao, and benefit of unification. Write a letter of advice.
