Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 412, Breaking the Army, Hetu Luoshu
Wang Jian didn't say anything when he saw the confident look in Meng Tian's eyes. Instead, he told in detail the route Meng Tian needed to take and the enemies he might encounter.Meng Tian also listened carefully, and would ask questions when problems arose, trying his best to ensure that there would be no problems during this interlude.

After listening to Wang Jian's story, Meng Tian nodded.For Meng Tianer, this crossing is much simpler than the one on the grassland. First of all, the geographical environment is familiar to them. Secondly, they are not far away this time. If there is a problem, they can always go back to the camp. Please help.The most important thing is that the enemy they face this time is the Zhao army. Although Zhao has Wuling cavalry, most of its soldiers are infantry, so they are not worried about the war after the encounter.

In addition, the current general of Zhao State is not on the front line, and the Zhao State defenders at these border gates do not dare to go out of the city to intercept and fight, for fear that Qin State will lure the snake out of the hole, wait for them to leave the city, and directly destroy them and occupy the city.

"Now that everything is clear, tomorrow you will lead the Golden Fire Cavalry to penetrate. After I take Boyang, I will order the army to divide the troops to attack Wucheng and Yecheng to attract the attention of the Zhao army." Wang Jian said.

"Commander, just wait for my good news." Meng Tian said with cupped hands.

"Our entire army depends on you," Wang Jian said.

The entire Qin State was divided into three armies to attack Zhao State. The main force was Wang Jian's army. The second army was Meng Wu and Wang Ben from Que Yu. The task of Meng Wu and Wang Ben was not to capture the city but to occupy Que Yu. To prevent the 10,000+ troops at Yanmen Pass from returning to aid Handan, although the main force at Yanmen Pass is the Wuling Cavalry, in addition to the Wuling Cavalry, the other soldiers are also elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles and should not be underestimated.

The third army was Li Xin in Yuyang, but Li Xin did not attack Zhao. They needed to wait until Wang Jian crossed the Zhang River and threatened Handan. The Yanmen Pass defenders went south, taking advantage of the emptiness of Yanmen Pass and Daijun to quickly occupy Yanmen Pass and Daijun thus cut off Zhao's retreat.

Although Li Mu went to Yanmen Pass to recruit the border troops, Meng Wu and Li Xin's role was not very useful, but no one was sure whether the Yanmen Pass border troops would surrender with Li Mu, so compared with Wang Jian, Meng Wu and Li Xin The pressure on the two people is even greater, and they need to pay attention to whether Li Mu can succeed at all times. Once Li Mu fails, and they do not take action in time, it is very likely that the border army will move south, causing Wang Jian's 15-strong army to face Zhao's more than 20-strong army. .

"I will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief!" Meng Tian handed over his hands and left the camp.

After Meng Tian returned to the camp where the Golden Fire Cavalry was located, he summoned all the captains and told them the mission Wang Jian had given them. The captains did not show any objection at all, but began to ask Meng Tian about the specific arrangements.

After listening to Meng Tian and Wang Jian's specific arrangements, these captains began to discuss possible situations and solutions.The officers of the Qin Army at all levels are inherited from the deputy officers of the original officers. The officers of the Qin Army have been like this for generations, which makes these officers very rich in experience.What's more, when there is no war, in addition to daily training, these middle and high-level officers all have to go to the military academy in Daqin Academy for training, while the lower-level officers are trained individually by specialized personnel.

In the officer system of the Qin Army, those who are generally rewarded at the rank of captain-level generals basically serve as local military attachés such as county lieutenants and county lieutenants, which gives them the ability to act independently at any time.

"When you go back, pass the news on and be prepared. After the army attacks the city tomorrow, we will directly bypass Boyang, go straight to Zhangshui, and harass near Handan!" Meng Tian said.

"promise!"

On the next day, while Boyang's defenders were still preparing to make food, the Qin army had already finished their meal and began to attack the city. Meng Tian also led the golden fire cavalry to bypass Boyang and move towards Zhang. Go across the water crossing.

Daijun, Yanmen Pass.

Zhao Kai wore armor and led a group of personal guards to Yanmen Pass. The soldiers guarding the city looked at Zhao Kai who was under the city and shouted loudly.

"who!?"

"I am General Zhao Kai, and I have come to Yanmen Pass under the king's decree! Open the city gate quickly and ask Sima Shang to summon the officers to wait for me in the camp!" Zhao Kai shouted.

The soldiers on the city looked down, muttered a few words to the people around them, and then said
"General, wait a moment, I will open the city gate right now!"

"Hurry up!"

Zhao Kai looked at the slowly opening city gate and drove his horses slowly towards Yanmen Pass.The guard on the side stepped forward and whispered:

"General, is it possible that Yanmen Pass is cheating by opening the city gate to us so easily?"

Yanmen Pass has been run by Li Mu for more than ten years. The border troops at Yanmen Pass are even more submissive to Li Mu. In addition, the Wuling Cavalry is still the core of the Yanmen Pass border army. With such a big thing happening in Handan, Yanmen Pass looks like it has not received anything. Without the slightest news, they were allowed to enter the city, which was somewhat unsettling.

"So what if Li Mu is dead? Your Majesty killed the family members of the Wuling Cavalry, but these mud-legged warriors in the Wuling Cavalry can only be angry and dare not speak out? They rebelled for a reason, but will other frontier troops follow? Li Mu is dead, they have no People can support the overall situation, but these border troops might have arrested all the officers of the Wuling Cavalry and are waiting for my general to be punished?" Zhao Kai said disdainfully.

As a member of the Zhao army who fought against Li Mu, Zhao Kai had never had a good impression of the border troops and Wuling cavalry at Yanmen Pass. Zhao Kai, who was responsible for guarding the western border of Zhao, faced Qin and suffered repeated defeats, while Li Mu repeatedly won against the grassland. , which made Zhao Kai look very incompetent, and Zhao Kai also had no good impression of Wuling Cavalry and Yanmen Pass Border Army.

Now Li Mu was executed for rebelling. As for whether Li Mu really rebelled, Zhao Kai didn't care. Zhao Kai only cared that he could humiliate Li Mu in front of Yanmen Pass Bianjuan who was loyal to Li Mu and admire the way these people dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

After walking into Yanmen Pass, the people in the city didn't care about Zhao Kai, the sudden general, and were still doing their own things. Zhao Kai drove the horses directly to the governor's house, and took Sima Shang with him in Zhao Kai's imagination. There was no scene of officers greeting him outside the door, and there was no scene of Sima Shang groveling to explain that he had not participated in the rebellion.No one greeted him outside the entire county guard's mansion. Even the soldiers at the door looked indifferently to Zhao Kai, as if they were looking at an irrelevant person.

"Very good, very good!" Zhao Kai felt that he had been slighted and suddenly felt angry.

Zhao Kai's guards all remained silent and did not go up to trouble Zhao Kai when he was angry. After all, many people were punished for offending Zhao Kai when he was angry.Zhao Kai got off his horse and walked straight towards the governor's house. The guards on both sides did not stop him. Seeing this, Zhao Kai looked at the two guards and said coldly.
"Are all the people brought out by Li Mu so ignorant of the rules? Why don't you bow when you see me, General?"

The two guards glanced at Zhao Kai and said

"You are not among the generals at Yanmen Pass."

The attitude of the two guards made Zhao Kai have a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. However, he thought that he had more important things to do when he came to Yanmen Pass. It would not be too late to punish these two people when he was in charge of Yanmen Pass, so Zhao Kai did not get angry in public. Instead, he walked towards the governor's mansion with a cold face.

At this moment, Sima Shang and a group of officers were standing outside the hall of the County Sheriff's Mansion. They saw Zhao Kai coming towards him without any sign of saluting. Seeing this scene, Zhao Kai couldn't help but feel a little more angry.

"Why didn't Sima Shang bow to me when he saw me?" Zhao Kai immediately scolded him angrily.

"Oh, General Zhao is here. General Zhao is not resisting the Qin army at the border. What's the matter with coming to Yanmen Pass? Could it be that he was chased by Meng Wu again and abandoned his helmet and armor and hid in Yanmen Pass?" Sima Shang mocked.

Zhao Kai once guarded the border army and fought against Meng Wu of Yan Yu more than once, but every time he was killed by Meng Wu and abandoned his armor, causing heavy losses. On one occasion, more than 1000 people were even chased by Meng Wu himself with 200 people. Zhao Kai was in such a state of embarrassment that this incident was the biggest embarrassment in Zhao Kai's life.

Hearing Sima Shang mention this matter again, all the officers laughed.After listening to Sima Shang's words and the ridicule in his ears, Zhao Kai was suddenly filled with anger, and he pulled out the sword from his waist and said

"Sima Shangqian dares to humiliate this general? Could it be that he wants to imitate the rebel Li Mu and commit rebellion?" Seeing Zhao Kai draw his sword, the officer behind Sima Shang immediately drew his sword, and Zhao Kai's guards also drew their swords. After holding their swords, the two sides immediately became tense. Zhao Kai looked at the large number of officers. Although he was very angry, he was also worried about hurting himself in the fight.

"What good can you get by following that traitor Li Mu? They are all rude people. They refuse to accept the king's order?" Zhao Kai took back his sword and said coldly.

But Sima Shang had no intention of accepting the edict, but looked at Zhao Kai coldly.

"Sima Shang, are you deaf? Your Majesty has issued an edict, but you still don't accept it?" Zhao Kai scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty?" Sima Shang said coldly, "Zhao Qian believed the slander and wanted to be Lord Wu'an, and he massacred our family members. Do you think such a great king is worthy of our loyalty?"

Hearing what Sima Shang said, Zhao Kai's surprise immediately suppressed his anger, pointed at Sima Shang and said

"Sima Shang, do you dare to call the king by his name? Are you going to rebel? Someone come and capture this rebel!"

The guard around Zhao Kai just wanted to step forward, but the officer behind Sima Shang immediately stepped forward to protect Sima Shang.Looking at the officer guarding Sima Shang, Zhao Kai seemed to understand something, his eyes widened and he pointed at these people and said

"Are you all going to rebel?"

"So what if we rebel?" A voice sounded from behind Sima Shang and the officers.

Listening to this familiar voice, Zhao Kai's eyes were full of panic, and he said "impossible, impossible"

Zhao Kai is very familiar with this voice, because the owner of this voice, Li Mu, has always been regarded as an enemy by Zhao Kai, so it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Kai to admit his mistake.

Sima Shang and a group of officers moved out of the way. Li Mu's figure in armor suddenly appeared in Zhao Kai's eyes. Zhao Kai immediately took a few steps back in fright, his eyes filled with horror.

"Li Li Mu, how could you still be alive?" Zhao Kai said in panic.

"Why am I still alive? I can only say that I have a great destiny." Li Mu said lightly.

"Li Mu, are you going to lead the border troops at Yanmen Pass to rebel?" Zhao Kai asked loudly.

"Rebellion? Haven't I already rebelled?" Li Mu said sarcastically.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhao Kai was speechless for a moment. The crime Zhao Wangqian imposed on Li Mu was rebellion. Isn't it redundant for him to ask this?Zhao Kai quickly looked at the other officers and yelled:

"You have been favored by the king, do you want to follow Li Mu in rebellion? Don't forget your family members. If the news of your rebellion spreads, your family members will also be beheaded!"

Listening to Zhao Kai's words, there was nothing strange about these officers. Instead, they approached Zhao Kai with sharp swords in hand. Zhao Kai and the guards kept retreating.

"Don't come over here. I am the general of Zhao State. If you kill me, you will be punished by death for the Yi tribe!" Zhao Kai said, holding the sword in his hand.

But the officers did not answer him. Instead, they stabbed Zhao Kai under the leadership of Sima Shang. Several screams were heard, and Sima Shang and his guards fell to the ground one after another. The sword was inserted into the scabbard, he turned around and saluted Li Mu and said
"Mr. Wu An, Zhao Kai killed him on the spot. I am willing to follow Mr. Wu An and avenge my Wuling cavalry family!"

As he spoke, Sima Shang and the other officers looked up at Li Mu. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent. His murderous intent was not against Li Mu, but against Zhao Wangqian. Most of their family members were massacred by Zhao Wangqian. They were at the border. They risked their lives for Zhao Wangqian, and in turn Zhao Wangqian killed their family members. They could not bear this kind of betrayal.

"Okay, pass on my military order! The Wuling cavalry will follow me south, and the remaining generals will lead Paoze to guard Yanmen Pass to prevent the Huns and barbarians from taking advantage of the chaos and going south!" Li Mu ordered.

"promise!"

Soon the entire Yanmen Pass began to move. After receiving Li Mu's order, the Wuling Iron Cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, headed towards Handan under the leadership of Li Mu.

After leaving Yanmen Pass, Li Mu handed a letter to his cavalry and asked them to go in the direction of Yanyu and Yuyang County respectively. This was Li Mu's message to Mengwu and Li Xin. The Wuling cavalry had already left. , all the people in Daijun who are willing to follow Li Mu to surrender have received Li Mu's order. As long as Li Xin enters Daijun, they will open the city gate and surrender.

While Li Mu was heading south, Ziyou and a few people had arrived at Dai City in Dai County, but they did not enter the city but came to the mountains outside Dai City.

In Dai City, the gathering place for the descendants of the God Clan.

"Are you saying that Ziyou came to Dai City, but did not enter the city but went to the mountains outside the city?" the leader of the man in the hat asked.

"Yes, Lord Pojun." said the man in a bamboo hat below.

"Is there any news about our people in Handan City?" Po Jun asked.

"We have lost contact for three days."

"It seems that our target has been exposed." Po Jun muttered, "But it's good, this Zi You should know the location of Wu Yun, and summon people to go to Zi You's location."

"Lord Pojun, what about Gai Nie and those people? Do you want to be released from Hetuluoshu?" the man in the hat asked.

"No, if it weren't for Hetu Luo Shugai Nie and these people, we wouldn't be able to catch them. If they were released, they would only become Zi You's help." Po Jun shook his head and said.
