Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 136 The war between Qin and Zhao begins
Years later, the smell of war once again filled the air, bringing a sense of oppressive irritability to all those closely related to it.

Li Mu was not originally proficient in espionage intelligence, but after these years of war with Qin, he learned more or less.

Moreover, Lu Chen, Yan Shen, and Yan Bingguang, who were sent by the farmers to study in Zhao Junzhong, had experience in the martial arts.Even though the soil of Qin State is not suitable for ranger activities on the surface, in fact, the farther away from Xianyang, the more strict the control requirements are.

Judging from the exploration of the old land of Korea and Taiyuan County by the peasant disciples, this time the Qin army still adopted a flanking strategy from the north and the south.

Zhao's national strength is limited and he is not qualified to actively choose the battlefield. He can only passively face the enemy as always.

Li Mu still decided to let Sima Shang guard the banks of the Zhangshui River. He continued to go north to confront the Qin army on the north route, waiting for an opportunity to defeat this route, and then turned south.

The idea is exactly the same as last time.

Zhao Jun has not had an easy time in the past two years, but with the supply of food from the farmer's collection of Yanqi, it has been much better than the miserable situation of normal development.

After a certain cavalry scout team of the Zhao army met the Qin army's cavalry team, they bravely launched an active attack and defeated the Qin cavalry.

This team led by Yan Bing, who had taken the lead before the war, was praised by Li Mu with great fanfare.Among them, Yan Bing relied on his strength and courage to take the lead and killed five Qin cavalry with his own hands, taking away the spirit of the Qin cavalry.

But then, neither side showed any flaws, and the situation immediately reached a stalemate, and this stalemate lasted for three months.

The Qin army at Zhangshui on the southern line tested several waves of attacks and found that Sima Shang was as steady as ever, and actually stopped to maintain the confrontation.

Zhao Jun is a tough nut to crack. Qin has long been prepared for a protracted war and is not in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is a message from the general."

The red-haired demon Zhao Gao knelt down and respectfully spread out a scroll of bamboo slips in front of the majestic King Qin's political table, then obediently stepped back and prepared to obey orders.

The Kingdom of Zhao was not a happy place for Qin Wangzheng.To this day, he still feels resentful about the humiliation he suffered when he was a boy in Handan City.

In the past few years, Zhao Guo was regarded as the first target of destruction. Qin Wangzheng may not have believed Han Fei's letter. He himself very much hoped to return to the old place as a winner as soon as possible and look down on his former enemies!

"Mr. Wei Liao, please come."

After reading Wang Jian's report on the front line, Qin Wangzheng said calmly without changing his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao lowered his head and walked quickly out of the main hall. His back was full of obedience and wisdom in the reflection of King Qin's pupils.

Soon, an old man stepped into the main hall, and Zhao Gao brought a cushion for him under the order of King Qin:

"Sir, the current situation on the front line is still not good. At this time, can you contact Guo Kai in advance and ask him to transfer Li Mu away?"

Wei Liao is an old minister who has helped Qin a lot in espionage operations. He has always firmly supported him in the court, and the King of Qin is willing to respect him.

"Your Majesty, this matter can be handled by Luo Sheng."

Wei Liao lowered his eyes, looking like he was out of energy.This old fox has a clear grasp of the general trend of the world and understands that the ambitious king in front of him can accomplish the great cause of unification like Zhou.But precisely because he understood this, he began to think about retreating.
"Sir, I originally hoped that General Wang Jian and Li Mu would confront each other for a longer period of time to wear down Zhao Qian's patience. Why do you think today that counterinsurgency can be carried out in just three months?"

It was obviously him who proposed whether the counter-insurgency plan could be carried out in advance. Now Wei Liao had no objection. Instead, the King of Qin asked deeply in a deep voice.

"In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of Sergeant Zhao's soldiers, Li Mu has made too many mistakes in the past two years. Guo Kaiding has obtained evidence that can easily kill Li Mu, so he can act in advance."

As he spoke, Wei Liao coughed violently. King Qin glanced at Zhao Gao on the side of the corner. The latter immediately stepped forward and silently and gently rubbed Wei Liao's back.

"Yes, what Mr. said is true."

He nodded calmly. As the king of Qin, of course he understood this, but in most cases, many matters required ministers to speak out first.

"Zhao Gao?"

"Your Majesty, the snare is ready."

Zhao Gao stopped what he was doing and knelt down behind Wei Liao:
"But what should we do with the farmers who colluded with Li Mu?"

"Farmer." Qin Wangzheng read the name, thinking of the information brought to him by the Yin Yang Family, and shook his head: "Farmer Kuai Tian Guang, is he under the control of the net?"

"Yes."

"I heard that he is in Yan State now. Is he a disciple of Yan Dan?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Then continue to stare at them." He looked at Zhao Gao, who leaned down and said, "As for Zhao Guo, let Guo Kai get rid of Li Mu immediately."

"The servant understands."

Zhao Gao kowtowed respectfully and waited for other orders from King Qin:

"Also, Gan Luo came back to Qin last year, but then he suddenly disappeared with the certificate of Zhao Guo!"

The king, who had not asked about this matter last year, suddenly mentioned it today, which surprised Zhao Gao.

"Go and find out what's going on."

"Yes."

After Wei Liao and Zhao Gao both retreated, a new figure walked into the hall and knelt in front of Qin Wangzheng.

Ying Zheng did not raise his head and continued to deal with government affairs: "What do you think?"

"After Lord Gan Luo disappeared, the Shadow Guards immediately dispatched and discovered something strange beside the road in the Xingshulin forest a hundred miles away from Xianyang."

"After investigation along the way, we have roughly confirmed the incident, and Luo Zhen is a major suspect."

Zhang Han, who was kneeling on the ground, answered seriously.

"The struggle for power within Luowang can be unrestrained, but if it harms our ministers of Great Qin, it crosses the line." Ying Zheng finished handling one roll of bamboo slips without changing his expression, then picked up the next one and unfolded it: "Go and stare at Zhao Gao. How to handle the case?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

------

Tian Guang, who was mentioned by the powerful King of Qin and the leader of Luowang, was still doing carpentry work and carving small wooden figures.

The person sitting in front of him is Yan Dan, the prince of the Yan Kingdom and a giant of the Mohist family.

The two met alone in a tavern outside Ji City.Snow was flying heavily outside the tavern, and the whistling sound of the storm slapped the tavern windows, making a clanging noise.

The violence outside the tavern only made the peace inside the tavern rare.

"Brother Tian Guang invited me here today. Do you want to confess your identity?"

Yan Dan's black eyebrows were tied around his waist, indicating that at this moment he was meeting Tian Guang as a giant of the Mohist family.

Tian Guang is a man of great wisdom and courage, and is also known as a moral hero.Yan Dan specially investigated him, but found nothing.

Finding nothing is itself a kind of detection.

It's ridiculous to say that what Yan Dan hopes most now is to succeed the King of Yan, and the status of the prince is undoubtedly an important basis for this succession.

But for the sake of his own great cause, he often took the initiative to throw away the name of the prince and talk to the wise people he met as the Mohist Jianghu.

"In the great war between Qin and Zhao, it will be difficult for Zhao to resist for a long time." Tian Guang finished carving on his hand and placed the wooden figure on the table: "Once Zhao is destroyed and the Qin army approaches Yishui, what should your Royal Highness do?"

But no matter how much Yan Dan emphasized his Jianghu status, everyone still called him the prince.

"I will command the three armies, and together with the Mohist disciples, we will fight against Qin!"

Yan Dan held the wine glass in her hand, her eyes sharp.

"Your Highness is so determined to resist the violent Qin Dynasty, even if the country is destroyed because of it?"

"Till death do we part!" Yan Dan slapped Mo Mei on the table. In response, Tian Guang took out a metal token from his arms and placed it on Mo Mei's side.

"Shen Nong Order!"

The supreme tokens of the Mo family and the Nong family were put together. Yan Dan and Tian Guang stared at each other, and then heard the latter propose another name: "Mr. Changping."

It was half a year ago that Yan Dan became a Mohist giant.

Yan Dan, who broke through the Mohist forbidden area and brought back Mo Mei, did not gain the support of all the Mohist disciples at the first time.

His status as prince is still a consideration that makes all the disciples of the Mohist family worry.

To this end, Yan Dan, who held black eyebrows in hand, talked with the major commanders one by one. In the end, he only received the support of Master Ban, who represented the inheritance of the machine arts, and the Xu family, who represented the inheritance of casting.

Even if Jing Ke and Tao Zhi were included in Jicheng, there were only four commanders willing to listen to his orders.

There are nine Mohist leaders in total.

This means that if the remaining five people really object strongly, the Mo family still has the ability to hold a 'Tianzhi' to remove him.

But fortunately, some of the five people were not in the city, and several commanders were hesitant rather than opposed to Yan Dan.

After making some promises, and relying on the fact that Mo Mei was in hand, Yan Dan was temporarily recognized as a giant.

However, such an unstable situation made Yan Dan very uneasy. He needed to put people in the leadership position to support him.
Especially for Yan Dan, who has completed the exchange of information with Tian Guang and is determined to implement the plan to assassinate Qin, he needs to completely grasp the power of the Mohist family!
After returning to Jicheng, he did not return home immediately, but came to Huangjintai.

Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu, who had a grudge against Qin, were undoubtedly good candidates to replace the two Mohist leaders.

Listening to the two people's music, Yan Dan's eyes showed a hint of complexity: The only problem now is how to abolish the two current commanders. Even if they are not at fault.

"This is also for the sake of the righteousness of the world."

After strengthening his confidence, His Highness the Prince turned around and left the Golden Platform.

The master's name was not involved in the plans in Qin and Yan.

At this moment, Lu Wei had left Handan City and came to Fanwu.

This is almost the front line of Li Mu and Wang Jian.

As soon as the war started, Hall Master Lu came here and waited for something to happen.

It is not appropriate to stay in Handan City any longer.On the one hand, it is because it is too far away from the northern line and cannot respond to the battlefield in a timely manner.On the other hand, Guo Kai followed King Zhao back. When he knew that his thirty thousand gold had been stolen, he would definitely cause a bloody storm in the capital.

Even though Guo Kai definitely couldn't find any evidence, Lu Wei didn't want to get into any extra trouble at this time.That city no longer means anything to me, so why stay there~

Ayu received the order and was secretly arranging the retreat of his disciples.

In a country that has become a battlefield, no one's safety can be guaranteed. The cities of Zhao, especially the city of Handan, are very unsafe.

After most of the elites were transferred back to Qi, some of them stayed in the countryside to lurk, and only the careful and bold disciples were left in the big city to run the business with peace of mind. Lu Yu himself also evacuated, and he went south to Daliang to run Wei with A Ye.

As for Zhao Yi, his close partner and the nominal leader of the farm in Zhao State, he is an abandoned son.

After all, he has the blood of the Zhao clan. Such a person is useful but also troublesome.

The bloodline of the Six Kings will be able to unite the hearts of the people everywhere in the future, but in Lu Wei's view, it will always be easier to deal with Zhao Di in the future under the name of Li Mu than the so-called 'Little Pingyuan Lord'.

Whether Zhao Yi can survive ultimately depends on whether he is smart enough.
