Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 138 The Eve of Assassination of Qin
The Zhao army's flag was renamed, and upon learning that the bright red 'Wu'anjun' flag in the enemy's camp had been torn down, Wang Jian calmly waved his hand to signal the scouts to retreat.

"General, since Li Mu has been deposed, do you want to take the opportunity to launch an offensive against Zhao Jun's camp?"

Some of the generals below him immediately lost their composure. Li Mu's fierce attack a few days ago had some effect: it put a lot of pressure on the Qin soldiers and their morale was much lowered.

Even among the senior generals of the Qin Army, not everyone knew in advance that Qin was determined to get rid of the enemy generals through counterintuitive tactics.

Now that I suddenly heard this good news, of course I had to work hard to vent the low morale with a victory.

Wang Jian nodded silently, not that he agreed with the opinion, but to express that he heard it.Then, he looked at the three figures sitting closest to him:

Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, Li Xin.

The three of them understood immediately, and Wang Ben, the oldest, took the lead in speaking.

He is not young, and he was a general in the same period as Li Mu.He has a deep understanding of this Qin army’s biggest enemy:

"Li Mu's sudden attack a few days ago was inconsistent with common sense. He must have known his future fate, so he took the extraordinary step."

Wang Ben knew about the existence of the alienation plan: "General, if Li Mu has just withdrawn, the morale of the army will be in chaos and we can fight!"

"Absolutely!" Li Xin nodded in agreement. He was a prominent figure in the Qin Army's young faction and was known for his bravery. He could accept the three-month stalemate for the sake of the overall situation, and now he was unwilling to miss the opportunity to attack.

"You can send partial troops to test first." Meng Tian's statement was quite satisfactory. He actually didn't think that the general would launch an attack at this time, but at present, most generals wanted to fight. In order to unite his colleagues, he ostensibly agreed with the idea of ​​going to war.

"I know your opinions." Wang Jian slapped the table, and the generals at all levels immediately stood up and listened to the order: "But you must stick to it for another two months. No one can go to war without permission within two months!"

Although Wang Jian is old, he does not lack courage.He had his own considerations in choosing to continue the stalemate with Zhao Jun for two months.

First of all, although Qin has a clear grasp of Zhao's court, it still has a foggy view of Zhao Jun.Whether Li Mu accepted the withdrawal calmly is not known accurately.

This Lord Wu'an was capable of mobilizing an army to disobey Han Dan's orders.
Secondly, even if Li Mu was withdrawn, Zhao Jun's military formation is still in chaos, and the generals at all levels are still the same people as before. The news of Li Mu's withdrawal will definitely make these people full of resentment.

If the Qin army attacks at this moment, this resentment will be vented on the Qin people, which will quickly strengthen unity between the new Zhao army general and the lower-level generals.

In this way, even if Great Qin can win, if the veteran soldiers suffer huge losses, it will be very detrimental to the subsequent attacks on other countries.

The Qin Army's target is not just Zhao State, so the general's focus cannot only be on this battle.

He only needs to stick to the camp and allow Zhao Cong, the chief general of the Zhao army, to familiarize himself with the military formation. There will definitely be conflicts between their superior and subordinate generals, causing rifts within this army.

Wang Jian had already obtained the information about Zhao Cong. Before he led his army to attack Zhao, he knew that this person was his ultimate opponent in attacking Zhao, so he knew a lot about this person.

The Zhao army has always been brave, and if this bravery is consumed in internal fighting, the pressure on the Qin army will be greatly reduced!

Lu Wei took Li Mu and others on a detour to the State of Yan, but did not enter Jicheng. They only followed the border and successfully entered the territory of the State of Qi.

After arriving at Daze Mountain, Li Mu sighed: "The people of Qi are so rich. If the six countries can unite, even if the Qin army is powerful, they will not be able to go eastward!"

The veteran is used to thinking about strategies to defeat Qin: in his life, he has either been fighting against the wolves outside the Great Wall, or fighting against the Qin army.

As for the occasional battles against Yan, they did not leave a deep impression on Li Mu.

"Although the people of Qi are rich, they are no less victorious than Guo Kai."

The master of the hall smiled and introduced the situation of the Qi court that he didn't know much about, but just saying "no less than Guo Kai" was enough.

Sure enough, when Li Mu heard this, he silently shut up.

Why are traitors always in charge in this Shandong Six Kingdoms court?
Return the king to his stupidity.
It has been a long time since Lu Wei last came back to Daze Mountain.That was when I escorted the aid supplies into Zhao the year before last.

After leaving for two years, he was not at ease simply handing over power to Lu Qing.It's not that I doubt Lu Qing now, but if I let one person hold the power for too long, my lack of doubt will naturally turn into suspicion.

Unless, the person who holds the sole power is me~

Therefore, last year, Lu Wei wrote a letter asking Lu Mu, who was obsessed with the study of mechanism techniques, to step forward and share the financial power of Gonggongtang.

Lu Qing has always been mature. He understands Hall Master Lu's purpose of doing this and cuts off the power without any complaints.

Originally, Lu Ye also had some responsibilities, but Aye was transferred to the Wei branch as the person in charge after not working for long, so Amu could only work even busier.
This made him extremely distressed. On the one hand, he had to obey his boss's orders, and on the other hand, the time he could concentrate on studying machine skills became fragmented and extremely inefficient.

Amu was happy to see Lu Wei back. After handing over the power, he immediately retreated into the Bailuyan Research Stone Room.

In the past two years, he initially wanted to create a flying machine beast similar to the Mohist machine Suzaku based on the boss's description, but just the preliminary demonstration work made Lu Mu despair and immediately gave up the idea.

The Mechanism Suzaku is a mechanism beast among the four spirit beasts invented by Mo Zi, the founder of the Mohist family.The technology is so exquisite that it is still the top representative of Mohist organ skills even after hundreds of years.

No one in the world can imitate the similar structure of even the small Suzaku Wood Kite that transmits information.

Amu's advantage is that he has an endless supply of machine arts books provided by the master of the hall. This knowledge exceeds any machine arts inheritance in the world, but what he can learn from it still depends on his personal efforts.After discovering that it was too far-fetched to build a flying machine beast, Lu Mu calmed down, and because time was too fragmented, he concentrated on continuing to work on the machine cattle that he had imitated based on the drawings, and further improved some of the defects of the machine cattle raised by his disciples during their use.

Although this has delayed his research on the second mechanism beast on the drawing: the mechanism crow, Amu's foundation in mechanism skills is undoubtedly much stronger.

The singing rooster is a small mechanical beast that can automatically sense the real time and has the ability to tell time at any time. It is also a creation of great significance in this era.Its parts are very small and numerous. Compared with the mechanism of the cattle, the mechanism of the crowing rooster is much more complicated.

In the Twelve Zodiac Mechanics, plowing oxen and crowing roosters are particularly important to farm disciples.

Li Mu's true identity is known to only a few people among the top management of Gonggongtang.In public announcements, Li Mu's pseudonym was Li Boren, and he was Lu Wei's new subordinate in Wei.

After Lu Qing learned of Li Mu's identity, he hurriedly wanted to abdicate and hand over the position of general manager to the world-famous Lord Wu'an, with himself as his deputy.

When Li Mu was young, he served as Zhao Xiangguo for a period of time in Zhao State. In this era, it was not uncommon for generals and ministers to change at any time.It would not be difficult for him to manage a Gonggongtang, but Li Mu decisively rejected the proposal as expected.

He joined the farmer's family and offered to start as a disciple of Xingzhucao. He never wanted to be in a high position right away.

Lu Wei agreed to his general's request, which actually didn't matter to him: even if Li Mu was a one-star pearl grass disciple, it was impossible for him and other senior officials to use him as a one-star disciple.

It's still early now, one level is promoted every year, and it only takes five years for Li Mu to be promoted to a six-star disciple.

After he becomes the leader of the knights in the future, it would be most suitable for Li Mu to take the position of leader of the Gonggong Hall.

His prestige will definitely make Lu Qing and Lu Shan have no objections. His own military strength has also been able to thwart assassinations in the army many times, and he is among the masters in the world.

For the current use of Li Mu, the hall master chose to let him take his thirty personal guards to Yangui Ridge to cultivate elite disciples with Lu Chen and the Yan brothers.

This kind of military training life with less than 200 people was a relaxing life for Li Mu, and he only withdrew from a battle involving 10 people.

The three young generals all know Li Mu's identity and have personally studied with Li Mu, so they are extremely excited about this arrangement.

The thirty personal guards who came out of the Zhao army will all be able to serve as at least middle-level managers of farmers in the future.

The strength of Gonggongtang has completely crushed the other five halls.

------

The news that the Zhao army had changed generals and removed Li Mu quickly spread to the other five countries from Handan Dan.

The state of Qin laughed loudly, the state of Wei was calm, and the state of Qi was drunk and dreaming.

The only ones who were touched were Yan and Chu.

To be more precise and detailed, they are Yan Dan and Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan accelerated preparations for war. He understood that Zhao State could even replace Li Mu. Even if the Qin army could not defeat Zhao State this time, Guo Kai might personally lead the troops to send them off.

The demise of Zhao State, like South Korea, is doomed.Qin's goal is to unify the world, and Chu will definitely become a target in the future and must be seriously guarded against.

Fortunately, given the status of the Xiang family in Chu State, he would not end up like Li Mu.On the contrary, within the Qin State, high up in the court, Xiang Yan and Lord Changping had a hidden connection that only the two of them knew about.
With the cooperation of Lord Changping, when Qin attacks Chu, he can know all the arrangements of the Qin army in advance!
In order to plan to assassinate Qin, Yan Dan of Yan State was determined to make the Mo family have only one voice.

To this end, he recruited two upright Mohist commanders from the government city. After several provocations, they forced the two to take action against him in excitement, but Jing Ke arrived in time to stop them.

In the end, the two of them resigned angrily, which was just a matter of anger.However, Yan Dan went down the river and dismissed them from their leadership positions on the spot, handing them over to Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu.

Jing Ke wanted to say something about this, but he already knew about the plan to assassinate Qin, and Gao Jianli Kuangxiu was his good friend.

In the end, Jing Ke silently agreed.

At this point, Yan Dan got the voting rights in the leadership with a sharp knife to cut through the mess.

This will definitely arouse the disgust of other commanders, but it doesn't matter, Yan Dan will slowly replace those people in the future.

When he obtained part of Yan Yi's military power, he was looking for his own spokesperson in the army. Over the years, Yan Dan has found the target and has been observing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to use Yan Yi's arrogance to create opportunities for himself to invite his target into the ink.

After Zhao Guohuan conveyed the news to the Prince's Mansion, Ju Wu hurried over.Yan Dan calmly comforted his teacher, and his calm and composed expression made the old master Ju Wu extremely happy.

'This is the king of my country, Yan! '

After seeing off Ju Wu, Yan Dan arrived at the Mohist stronghold. The four Mohist leaders from Jicheng and Qin Wuyang, who had other tasks, bowed to him and saluted:
"Giant, there is news from the machine city that the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword' is ready."

Jing Ke understood his heavy responsibility: "Wu Yang and I can set off at any time!"

As he spoke, Jing Ke clenched his fists tightly.

His pregnant wife was kidnapped and sacrificed to the Qin Palace when she returned to her hometown last year because of the bitter cold in the Yan Kingdom.
Therefore, to assassinate the King of Qin, for Jing Ke, in addition to the "anti-war" ideas in Mohist teachings, he also had the hatred of stealing his wife!
