When people were in Qin Dynasty, they changed the world by swiping entries

Just when there was a war in Shangjun.

This news could not be blocked and spread directly to Zhao Guo.

Both Wang Jian and others who besieged Zhao State here, as well as Zhao State's general Li Mu, all learned the news.

In the Qin army camp.

Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Yang Duan and the three generals gathered together to discuss the war in Shangjun.

"The wolves are actually invading Shangjun at this time. The attackers are evil!"

"If something happens to Shangjun, Zhao Guo may take the opportunity to counterattack. Then we will be in danger from both sides."

Meng Wu hesitated, not knowing whether he was needed to lead his troops back to Shangjun.

"The king must be aware of such a big matter. Since there is no order for us to return for reinforcements, it must be that we don't need to worry about the situation in Shangjun."

While Meng Wu and Yang Duan were both worried, Wang Jian was stroking his beard with a very calm expression.

Today's Great Qin is much stronger than it was a few years ago.

Wang Jian was deeply touched by this.

Not only did the addition of some new weapons and equipment in the military greatly improve the military's combat capabilities, Da Qin also made great progress in various other aspects.

If there is only one more weapon, but other logistics cannot keep up, Da Qin will not be able to raise hundreds of thousands of troops.

Because of the strong enough logistics, Wang Jian knew very well that even if Daqin fought on two fronts, it would not be a big burden.

At least the burden cannot be greater than that of the Changping Battle.

"That's what I said, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. There is no room for mistakes in the county!" Meng Wu frowned, "How about this, I will ask Meng Tian to lead a team of Qingqi to check the situation."

Some time ago, in order to deal with Zhao Jia and the helpers he invited, they transferred five thousand Qingqi from Shangjun.

This team of light cavalry is equipped with more than two thousand [Bai's Repeating Crossbows], which is a sharp arrow on the battlefield.

Because they need to be careful of Li Mu taking the opportunity to resist, it is definitely not possible to transfer a large number of troops, but there is no problem with just these 5,000 people.

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe also hesitated when they heard what Meng Wu said.

"In that case, then do as you say!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Jian finally agreed to Meng Wu's proposal.

So Meng Wu planned to have Meng Tian come over.

But before the people he sent could leave the camp, Meng Tian hurriedly broke in.

"General Wang Jian, urgent message from Xianyang!"

Hearing this, Wang Jian and the other two people had no time to think about it, so they quickly took the secret letter from Meng Tian.

The content of the secret message was not long, but it made the expressions on the faces of Wang Jian and the other three people change several times.

From the first time he was worried about the war in Shangjun, he was relieved to learn that Wang Yan had led troops to support him.

In the end, when they thought that Wang Yan was leading the elite masters of Lantian Camp, the three of them felt as if they had eaten lemons, and felt sour in their hearts.

All Lantian legions are equipped with [Bai's Repeating Crossbows], as well as the only air combat force in the entire Qin Dynasty, and as many machine beasts as the three armies combined. Who doesn't feel sad after seeing this?

Especially Meng Wu, who felt like he was about to become a clown.

He had just thought of asking Meng Tian to lead a group of light cavalry equipped with repeating crossbows to support Shangjun, but it turned out that they had 50,000 repeating crossbowmen.

If Meng Tian passes by, it's hard to say whether he can get a head.

"I didn't expect the king to hide so deeply!"

"It's no wonder. We have been fighting Zhao for more than half a year. For such a long time, the king has not allocated any equipment support to us. It is reasonable to be able to equip an entire Lantian Army."

Wang Jian sighed, a little embarrassed.

As a general, who doesn't want his soldiers to be able to fight one against a hundred?

Leading such an army and winning a battle may not have that strong sense of accomplishment.

But the casualty rate must be very low.

In contrast, being able to make fewer sacrifices and win a war is more important to them.

After all, these soldiers are real people and the most important young labor force in Da Qin.

If they had such an army in their hands at this moment, the battle against Zhao would only go more smoothly.

Perhaps now they have captured the Kingdom of Zhao and captured the King of Zhao alive.

Although a little sour, Wang Jian and the other three were completely relieved at this moment.

After they put down the letter, they immediately sent people to summon all the generals and asked them to come to discuss the matter.

Soon, in the Chinese army's tent, a group of generals gathered around the sand table and looked at Wang Jian and the others quietly.

"We have just received a secret letter from the king. We have learned that General Wang Jue has led troops to support Shangjun. We no longer have any worries. Therefore, the king ordered us to capture Zhao as soon as possible."

Yes, it is naturally impossible that Ying Zheng sent them a letter just talking about the war in Shangjun.

The Zhao envoy has delayed it for long enough.

If the delay continues, Zhao Guo will definitely take action.

Wang Jian walked to the sand table and already had a way to deal with Zhao Guo in his mind.

"Shangjun will be invaded by the wolf clan at this time, and it is probably related to the Zhao State. I guess Li Mu should also have received the news."

"But they definitely don't know that the king already has a way to deal with it, and the wolves are nothing to be afraid of, so we can take advantage of this and set a trap for them."

Wang Jian planned to take advantage of the information gap to lay out a plan specifically for Li Mu.

"We asked General Meng Wu to lead a group of troops to support Shangjun under false pretenses, making Zhao Guo think that we had divided our troops. Then the large army retreated thirty miles back to show the enemy's weakness and lure the snake out of its hole."

His plan was actually quite simple.

But at this time Meng Tian was a little puzzled: "General, Li Mu is very cautious and has always adopted a huddled defensive approach. Even if we show the enemy that we are weak, he may not easily send troops to pursue us."

The current situation is actually somewhat similar to the original Battle of Changping.

The opponent kept shrinking and refused to actively fight with them, so they had to find a way to lure the snake out of its hole.

But the leader of Zhao State, Li Mu, was not Zhao Kuo who was talking about military affairs on paper, but another Lian Po.

It would be too difficult to induce him to take the initiative.

Meng Tian's doubts were actually those of the other generals present.

Wang Jian and Meng Wu couldn't help but look at each other and smiled after hearing Meng Tian's words.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Your Majesty has already made arrangements. If Li Mu sends troops, we are not sure that we can completely defeat him. But if he doesn't send troops, he may really be dead."

"Anyway, regardless of whether he is fooled or not, Zhao will definitely lose this battle!"

When the generals saw that Wang Jian and the other three were so confident, they couldn't help but look at each other, all confused.

However, neither Wang Jian nor the other three people gave specific reasons. Everyone present was very discerning and knew that it would definitely be a plan involving the king, so they did not ask any more questions.

And their guess was correct.

It wasn't that Wang Jian and the other three were unwilling to tell them why they were so sure that Li Mu would send troops, but it was just that Li Mu's arrangements were absolutely confidential.

If these things were accidentally spread, causing the plan to fail and affecting their plan to take over Zhao, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

At the same time, in the Zhao army camp, Li Mu, Sima Shang and other Zhao generals were also discussing the war in Qin State's Shangjun.

The person leading this discussion was not Li Mu, but an eunuch from the palace.

"General Li Mu must have learned that Qin's Shangjun is being invaded by wolves. The king has ordered the general to seize this opportunity to teach Qin a painful lesson and regain the lost land of Zhao. "Li Mu looked at the boastful eunuch in front of him with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"The general knows what to do. Please ask the envoy to go back and reassure the king."

Li Mu was a person who believed that generals should not accept orders from the emperor. He believed that generals should maintain their autonomy in military command.

As the person in power, King Zhao lived deep in the palace. He had never been to the battlefield and had no understanding of what happened on the battlefield.

Therefore, King Zhao was completely a layman when it came to military command.

It is a big mistake to let a layman direct an expert.

Soldiers are a major event for the country. The place of death and life, the way of survival and death, cannot be ignored.

It is impossible for Li Mu to bet on the survival of Zhao State.

But when the eunuch from the palace heard Li Mu's words, his face showed a trace of displeasure.

But I was secretly happy in my heart.

"General, I will definitely bring it to the king."

The eunuch said something meaningful, and then set off back to the royal capital.

Upon returning, the eunuch did not go directly to report the situation to King Zhao. Instead, he secretly went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and met with Prime Minister Guo Kai.

"You're back so soon? How's the thing I asked you to do?"

"Please rest assured, sir, everything has been taken care of."

The eunuch smiled flatteringly.

Guo Kai nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"That's good. You can go into the palace and report to the king first. When the matter is completed, the reward will be sent to your home."

Hearing this, the eunuch smiled even brighter.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! That villain has resigned!"

Guo Kai waved his hand.

After the eunuch left, Guo Kai returned to the study and looked at the letters on the desk, feeling a little lost.

This is a letter sent from Qin some time ago, and the person who sent the letter is named Wang Ao.

Just hearing this name, many people may not recognize him, but his master is the famous Wei Liao.

This person holds the position of State Lieutenant in the Great Qin Dynasty. Although he usually keeps a low profile, he holds a high position and is only under Prime Minister Mi Qi in terms of power.

As a disciple of Wei Liao, Wang Ao came to him at such a sensitive period, naturally with the mission of Ying Zheng.

That is to bribe Guo Kai and let him serve as an internal agent.

And Guo Kai himself has always been in contact with the Qin State.

Therefore, Wang Ao only spent five thousand gold and made a promise that when Zhao State was destroyed, Guo Kai could defect to Qin State and serve as a minister. Guo Kai agreed to Wang Ao's request without hesitation.

Guo Kai recalled his conversation with Wang Ao that day, and his eyes showed uncontrollable excitement.

When he thought about his bright future, Guo Kai couldn't wait to bury Zhao Guo.

"Mo Yi!"

He shouted softly, and a man walked out of the darkness and half-knelt on the ground.

"Go and send people to spread the news in the city that Li Mu and Sima Shang respect themselves as soldiers, disobey the king's orders, collude with the Qin army, and prepare to betray Zhao."

Mo Yi was stunned for a moment, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

This is going to kill Li Mu and Sima Shang!

And this was during the war between Zhao and Qin. After killing Li Mu and Sima Shang, who else could resist the Qin army?
Mo Yi analyzed the consequences of doing so in an instant.

But he still complied.

Whether Li Mu dies or not, whether Zhao Guo dies or not, these are not things he should consider.

Under Mo Yi's control, rumors about Li Mu and Sima Shang soon spread in the city.

These rumors soon reached the ears of King Zhao.

After Zhao Wangyan learned about this incident, he did not show much anger.

Compared with his incompetent son in history, that is, King Zhao Youmiao and Zhao Qian, King Zhao Yan is still somewhat capable, not so stupid, and can't follow the wind or rain.

Li Mu can be regarded as a veteran of Zhao State. He has held important positions in the court since the period of King Zhao Xiaocheng. He resisted the Huns in the northern border of Zhao State and made great contributions to Zhao State.

Therefore, King Zhao was unwilling to believe that Li Mu would betray Zhao from the bottom of his heart.

But these remarks spread through noses and eyes, and King Zhao couldn't help but care.

Coupled with what the servant he sent to convey Li Mu's orders a few days ago came back and said, King Zhao was very concerned.

Li Mu was a bit disinclined to listen to the announcement.

Therefore, King Zhao called Guo Kai and asked his opinion.

"Are you aware of the recent comments circulating among the people in the city?"

In the back garden of King Zhao's palace, King Zhao held a handful of feed in his hand and sprinkled it on the pond. Soon a group of koi carps came up.

Guo Kai acted very calmly and nodded.

"I have heard a little bit about it."

"Do you think this is true or false?"

King Zhao squinted his narrow eyes and stared at Guo Kai.

"I believe that this matter should be treated with caution, and whether it is true or false, it should be investigated before drawing a conclusion."

"General Li Mu fought against the Qin army for our Zhao country, and he has done a lot of hard work, but now is the moment of life and death for the Zhao country. I feel that even if there is only a slight possibility, we should investigate it to the end."

"After all, we can't afford that risk."

Guo Kai said a lot, seemingly denying the rumors about Li Mu and Sima Shang, but in fact he deliberately led King Zhao to doubt Li Mu and shake the trust between them.

"What Xiangguo said makes sense."

King Zhao thought about it for a while and really believed Guo Kai's words.

Then he changed his order and said:
"In this case, let's send someone to investigate the matter. Just in case, let Zhao Cong and Hu Zhu go ahead to replace Li Mu and Sima Shang, and let Zhao Cong be the main general."

Compared to Li Mu, who had a large number of troops, Zhao Cong, who was obviously from the Zhao clan, was more trusted by King Zhao.

And Hu Zhe was from Guo Kai.

It can be said that this change of generals completely fulfilled Guo Kai's wish.

Guo Kaixin secretly rejoiced and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

As soon as he left the palace, he immediately asked someone to send a secret letter to Hu Jue.

If Li Mu obeys the order and is replaced, then let Hu Su follow the letter he gave, and then he will cause Zhao Guo to suffer a disastrous defeat.

It would be better if Li Mu didn't obey the order.

By then, those rumors alone would be enough to undermine King Zhao's trust in Li Mu.

The State of Zhao will also perish. (End of chapter)
