My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 705: Li Mu: Who can remain calm when facing the enemy of Qin Chang'an Jun? The Prime Minister's bottom line is beyond your imagination!

Li Mu didn't care when he realized that his comfort was ineffective.

The power of words is limited, not to mention that Li Mu is not good at speaking.

The only thing that can save Sima Shang is a victory!
Le Cheng asked anxiously, "Commander-in-chief, should our army pursue and kill him?"

"Qin Chang'an Jun hasn't gone far yet, and his troops are rushing here, so they must be exhausted."

"If our army immediately sends out knights to pursue them, I think we can catch up with Qin Changan's troops!"

Li Mu retracted his gaze from Sima Shang and shook his head: "Qin Chang'an Jun did not set up an ambush last time, and there is no reinforcement behind him."

"But Qin Chang'an has bought a lot of time by charging into the battle line himself."

"Qin Chang'an Jun's infantrymen have plenty of time to set up an ambush and prepare rolling stones on Qin Chang'an Jun's way back."

"If our army pursues them at night, we may fall into the Qin army's trap!"

It was difficult for the army to deploy in the narrow road.

Under the cover of night, it was difficult for scouts to conduct reconnaissance.

Li Mu could conclude that Ying Chengjiao would definitely set up an ambush on the way back.

Once the Zhao army comes to chase, even if Ying Chengjiao's troops are smaller in number, they can still take advantage of the weather and terrain to inflict heavy damage on the Zhao army!
Le Cheng sighed regretfully: "What a pity!"

Li Mu smiled: "No need to sigh."

"The current situation is still favorable to our army!"

All the generals looked puzzled.

At the beginning of this battle, Li Mu formulated a strategic plan to launch a blitzkrieg, seize the two cities of Laoyang and Licheng by surprise, and open up the Fukou Pass.

But now, the Qin army's reinforcements have entered Laoyang City and Licheng, and the Zhao army's original military strategy has failed.

Is this situation still beneficial to the Zhao army?

Without waiting for the generals to ask, Li Mu ordered: "Get the Kunyu map!"

Two family soldiers displayed the Kunyu map in front of Li Mu, and another family soldier held a torch to illuminate the Kunyu map.

Li Mu pointed at the location of Xianyang City with a wooden stick and said:
"I overestimated Qin Chang'an's ability last time."

"However, this time, Qin Chang'an Jun personally led the cavalry to charge into the battle array to save the city, which made me wake up."

"Qin Chang'an is brave, but he is only a man after all, not a god."

"All of Qin Chang'an Jun's military strategies may seem strange and bizarre, but they will ultimately be carried out by the soldiers."

"The reason why Qin Chang'an Jun needs to charge into the battle formation personally is because the main force of the Qin army cannot reach the speed that Qin Chang'an Jun needs."

"So..." Li Mu slid the wooden stick in his hand from Xianyang City to Licheng, and emphasized on Licheng: "The one led by Qin Chang'an Jun is definitely not the main force of the Qin army, but a detachment of the Qin army!"

Li Mu is very confident.

Li Mu also asked himself if he would be unworthy of the title of "Marquis of Wu'an".

But Ying Chengjiao's military achievements were indeed too outstanding.

The three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu were successively destroyed by Ying Chengjiao.

Both Zhao and Yan suffered heavy blows from Ying Chengjiao.

The Zhao State's Handan City was once attacked by Ying Chengjiao.

If Ying Chengjiao had not been troubled by the safety of Xianyang City, Ying Chengjiao would even have had a chance to capture Handan City!
Ying Chengjiao has many mysterious auras. He said that the south wind would blow in Dahong Mountain, and the south wind would blow in Dahong Mountain! He said that Neihuang would suffer a severe drought, and Neihuang would suffer a severe drought! He said that the world would rain heavily, and the world would rain heavily!

When Li Mu really faced such a powerful enemy, it was difficult for him not to be extremely vigilant and estimate Ying Chengjiao's ability as high as possible.

However, the Licheng Defense Battle that shattered Sima Shang's confidence actually allowed Li Mu to regain his composure and analyze Ying Chengjiao from a level perspective.

Looking at the wooden sticks that fell in Licheng, Le Cheng said thoughtfully: "Since the main force of the Qin army has not arrived, our army's blitzkrieg strategy has not failed."

"This may be our army's opportunity!"

Li Mu said confidently: "This is our army's opportunity!"

"The closer distance to Taihang Mountain is our army's biggest advantage in this battle."

"And now, although Qin Chang'an Jun has led a small army to attack, our army's advantage has not been completely lost."

"Captain Sima Shang!"

Sima Shang, who was doubting his own life, heard the call and subconsciously bowed and shouted: "I am here!"

Li Mu said solemnly: "I want to assign 20,000 elite infantrymen to Commander Sima Shang, and order him to lead these 20,000 elite infantrymen over the mountains and ridges to the west of Licheng."

"Then they firmly pinned themselves on the pass on the west side of Licheng, blocking all the Qin army soldiers and their baggage."

"And after receiving my order, cooperate with my troops to attack Licheng from both sides and capture Qin Chang'an!"

"This order is extremely difficult!"

"Does Commander Sima Shang dare to accept the order?!"

There is a small path in Taihang Mountains that can bypass Licheng.

But the reason why those small roads never became the strategic roads that Qin and Zhao must fight for was because they were either extremely narrow, extremely steep, or both narrow and steep, and they were impassable after a little rain.

Sima Shang could indeed lead his infantrymen to cross Licheng through these small paths.

But once Sima Shang receives the order, he will be isolated and helpless.

In case the situation becomes unfavorable, Sima Shang’s troops will not be able to retreat quickly!
Just a little rain and the communication and baggage lines between Sima Shang's troops and Li Mu's troops would be cut off!

But Sima Shang seemed to see the hope of salvation and bowed his hands loudly: "General, I am willing to go!"

"As long as I am still alive, I will never allow a single Qin soldier to pass through Fukou Pass to rescue Licheng!"

Li Mu's order was indeed very dangerous.

However, there is no need to use one's brain or think of countermeasures before the battle to execute Li Mu's order.

Just fight to the death!

For Sima Shang, who was in a state of self-doubt, this was undoubtedly the most suitable order for him.

And as long as Sima Shang can complete this order, Sima Shang will be able to regain his confidence as a general through this victory!
Li Mu looked at Sima Shang with satisfaction: "If our army can take Licheng and capture Qin Chang'an Jun with this strategy."

"Then Commander Sima Shang should be the first to make the contribution in this battle!" Sima Shang bowed his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Commander!"

Li Mu turned his gaze back to the Kunyu map: "Licheng is a strategic location."

"The Fukou Pass is not a place where our army can fully exploit its military strength."

"Lord Wuxiang!"

Le Cheng immediately stepped forward and bowed: "I am here!"

Li Mu slid the stick in his hand up along Fukouxing and landed at Jingxing, further north: "The Qin Taihang camp is in Jin territory."

"However, the commander of Qin's Taihang Camp, Yang Duanhe, has already mobilized all the soldiers of the Taihang Camp to rush to the aid of Liaoyang City."

"The Jin land of Qin must be empty now!"

"I want to personally lead the main force at Fukouxing to tie up the main force of the Qin army, and order Wuxiang Jun to lead 100,000 troops to withdraw from Fukouxing, and then enter Jingxing from Luquan, pass Yangquan, and leave Jin!"

"Then we will go straight down the Fen River and attack the Neishi Prefecture of Qin to frighten the Qin army."

"Lord Wuxiang, do you dare to obey my orders?!"

Le Cheng's breathing quickened.

If Le Cheng responded to this order, his troops would become a sharp knife, an isolated army, and would be in an extremely dangerous situation.

But with Li Mu personally involving the main force of the Qin army, Le Cheng actually had the opportunity to break through the numerous obstacles of the Qin State, take Xianyang directly, and make great contributions to destroying the country!

In the face of such great achievement, what is danger?
Le Cheng bowed his hands loudly and said, "I am willing to go!"

Li Mu nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the Kunyu map, and said in a deep voice: "I will try to jump out of Taihang Mountain to seek a fighting opportunity."

"Qin Chang'an Jun will definitely not be trapped in Taihang Mountain."

"Looking at the various strategies Qin Chang'an has put forward for this battle, it can be seen that Qin Chang'an is in a hurry now."

"Send a message to the cities in the rear, especially Shexian and other cities in Taihang. Do not open the city gates without my personal order."

"We must defend the city strictly to prevent the Qin army from attacking the city!"

All the generals suddenly surrendered:
"only!"

Although we failed to capture Licheng as we wished.

But with Li Mu's arrangements, hope and fighting spirit rose in the hearts of all Zhao generals!

Li Mu smiled: "In that case..."

However, before Li Mu finished his words, a shout suddenly rang out.

"Where is Wu Anjun?"

Li Mu's face suddenly darkened. He looked towards the rear of the army and saw an official in a red robe with green patterns galloping towards him, escorted by a hundred elite Zhao soldiers.

Looking at the person coming, Li Mu spoke slowly: "Guardian Commander Guo Chang?"

"Now that you have seen me, why don't you bow?"

Guo Chang smiled complacently and said, "Could it be that Lord Wu'an can't see the official robes I'm wearing?"

"Fortunately, the king values ​​me and the prime minister has chosen me. I have been promoted to the position of doctor-in-chief!"

As the guard commander, Guo Chang needed to pay his respects to Li Mu.

However, Guo Chang, as a Langzhongling, was at the same level as Li Mu and no longer needed to take the initiative to pay a visit.

Li Mu sneered mercilessly: "Even a bug like you can be promoted to the position of Shangqing?"

"Your only strength is that your father's name is Guo Kai."

"After the death of Zuo Shi, the Prime Minister really didn't care about his dignity at all!"

Guo Chang's eyes were filled with anger: "The reason why I am the Minister of the Imperial Household is because the King values ​​me so highly!"

"How dare Wu Anjun'an insult me ​​like this!"

The sneer on Li Mu's face did not change at all: "The Prime Minister actually allowed the king to rule the country?"

“It’s really strange!”

"A son is honored by his father, so let him be honored by his father. Now that you have benefited, why do you need to throw dirty water on the king?"

Guo Chang was furious: "You!!!"

But Guo Chang didn't know how to refute Li Mu.

Because King Qian of Zhao had not yet taken power, the reason why Guo Chang became the Imperial Physician-in-Chief was indeed because of Guo Kai's promotion!

Suppressing his anger, Guo Chang said coldly: "I don't want to argue with Wu Anjun!"

"Li Mu, Lord of Wu'an, receive the king's order!"

Li Mu was silent for two breaths, then bowed and clasped his hands.

Looking at Li Mu bowing in front of him, Guo Chang felt very happy.

After Li Mu bowed for more than ten breaths, Guo Chang pulled out a piece of silk from his sleeve and spoke loudly: "The Qin State is powerful, and Qin Chang'an Jun is brave and valiant."

"At the beginning of this battle, the court ordered Wu Anjun to be cautious!"

"However, Wu'an Jun took a risky approach, only seeking to quickly capture the Qin city without paying attention to the stability of the battle line."

"Mr. Wu'an's actions are truly a joke for the sake of one person's achievement. He treats the lives of 600,000 soldiers of our Great Zhao as a joke and disregards our Great Zhao country. He is even more ashamed of the king's trust!"

"In order to win this battle, I order Wu Anjun to advance step by step and advance steadily. Every time a city is captured, it is important to carefully strengthen the city defense."

"Don't take any risks!"

"Otherwise, you will be punished!"

As Li Mu listened to the royal decree read out by Guo Chang, his face became increasingly gloomy.

Li Mu thought that Guo Kai's promotion of Guo Chang to the position of Langzhongling was shameless enough.

However, he never expected that Guo Kai's bottom line would exceed Li Mu's imagination!

However, Guo Chang's smile was particularly bright: "Mr. Wu'an, accept the order!"
