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

Chapter 887 I am the King of Yan, how dare you insult me! Li Mu: I am scolding the King!
September 26th, the 15th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi.

"Go first! Break the city!"

"Don't let the Yan people laugh at you. The first to ascend the mountain will be our great warriors!"

"The city gate has been breached! Kill!"

The tragic shouts and cries of killing lingered in Zhuocheng, a historic city that was once the richest city in the country.

The flags of the Dai and Yan armies continued to penetrate into Zhuocheng from the west and north, and eventually overturned the Xuanniao flag of the Qin Dynasty, which fluttered proudly over the city wall of Zhuo County!

Ma Fuxun excitedly bowed to Li Mu and said, "It only took half a month of quick fighting to capture Zhuo!"

"Coach, heroic!"

Although the Battle of Zhuo County was only a battle for a city and a place, it was the first time that the State of Dai conquered the territory of Qin since its establishment, achieving a breakthrough from zero. It was also the first time that the soldiers of Zhao State won a victory in the war against Qin since Qin's conquest of Zhao, which greatly eliminated the fear and cowardice of the Dai State soldiers who had served in Zhao towards Qin.

The results of this battle were indeed not significant for Li Mu, but it was of great significance to the military morale of the Dai State!
Therefore, all the generals of the Dai army cheered with joy: "The commander is so brave!"

However, Li Mu's face remained gloomy. Facing the cheers of the generals, Li Mu said coldly: "What's the use of my bravery?"

"In the end, we still have to use the blood and flesh of our soldiers and their precious time to storm Zhuocheng!"

In Li Mu's original military strategy, there was no mention of Zhuocheng at all, and he didn't even consider the Du Kang area as a dish!

Li Mu summoned the King of Yan several times, asking him to lead the Yan army to pass through the State of Dai and directly bypass the Du Kang area. The Hou and Yan armies went downstream along the Yishui River from Wuyang City of Dai and attacked the Yishui Great Wall (the Southern Great Wall of Yan).

Nowadays, the Yishui Great Wall is completely located within the territory of Qin, so its defenses are relatively weak on weekdays. The Dai and Yan coalition forces can gather their elite troops and seize the Yishui Great Wall at all costs while Qin is unprepared, while at the same time ordering the Qi army to move northward.

Once the Dai and Yan armies captured the Yishui Great Wall, they would be able to join forces with the Qi army near Pingshu City, not far from the southeast end of the Yishui Great Wall.

If this strategy succeeds, Li Mu will not only be able to quickly join forces with the Qi army, but he will also be able to use the Yishui Great Wall to trap the Qin army gathered in Du Kang like a turtle in a jar and annihilate it completely.

Without paying much price at all, the vital throat of Du Kang will fall into the control of the coalition forces of Dai, Yan and Qi!
Unfortunately, the King of Yan firmly rejected Li Mu's strategic plan, so Li Mu had to turn around and attack Zhuocheng first.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Ma Fuxun could only persuade him gently: "It is easy for a multinational coalition to have rifts and fight each other."

"If the coalition forces had not been so cowardly, Qin would have perished long ago!"

"I beg the coach to put the overall situation first!"

Li Mu's voice was still cold: "I am already putting the overall situation first!"

"Enter the city!"

"I want to see what kind of stupid person is so difficult to communicate with!"

Ma Fuxun hurriedly caught up with Li Mu and said repeatedly: "Commander! Commander! The King of Yan is the king after all, Commander, please don't say that!"

"Although the Yan Kingdom is unfaithful and ungrateful, our dynasty cannot force the Yan Kingdom to become an enemy. I beg the commander-in-chief to be patient!"

"Master, you must never forget the frame-up you suffered for speaking out against Queen Zhao!"

Li Mu said nothing about Ma Fuxun's advice, and it was unclear whether he listened to it or not.

He simply drove his horse over the corpses of his soldiers, crossed Zhuocheng diagonally, and headed towards the cheering Yan army.

"Victory! We have won! Hahaha~ We were able to bite off a piece of flesh from the Qin State. Great! Big win!"

"It has been several decades since the last time our Great Yan conquered another country's city. Our Great Yan warriors have finally regained their glory!"

"We can win this battle thanks to your wisdom! Congratulations to you! Congratulations to Dayan!"

In recent decades, whether Yan State launched wars alone or joined forces with other countries, the results were all failures!
The repeated defeats have left psychological trauma on the Yan soldiers.

Although the victory in Zhuo County was only a small victory, it was truly a rare and joyous event for the soldiers of the Yan army!
Under the royal banner, the King of Yan smiled and stroked his beard, "My dear ministers, you really flatter me."

"The victory of this battle is all due to the dedication of all the soldiers and the bravery of our allies. It is not just my achievement!"

At this moment, King Xi of Yan was wearing a round helmet made of seven layers of copper plates, with two jade pieces inlaid on the wings between his eyebrows, pointing diagonally upward. He was wearing copper armor with rhinoceros skin as the base and nearly a thousand fish-scale copper nail plates, and cowhide boots inlaid with gold spikes. He looked radiant under the sunlight.

King Xi of Yan, wearing this cool armor and having just won a victory, was particularly confident.

The soldiers of the Yan State jumped for joy and bowed to the king's banner, shouting, "Congratulations to the king! Congratulations to Great Yan!"

In this atmosphere, Li Mu and his group, who walked in silence, seemed particularly out of place.

King Xi of Yan spotted Li Mu the first time he saw him. He laughed out loud and rode his horse towards Li Mu, cupping his hands and saying, "I have heard of the name of Dai Wu'an Jun for a long time. Today I am lucky enough to finally meet him!"

Li Mu calmly bowed and returned the greeting: "On behalf of the General, Wu'an Jun, and Commander Li Mu, I pay my respects to the King of Yan." "It is really not easy to meet the King of Yan!"

Ma Fuxun almost had to hold his forehead with his hand.

As expected, he is the Marquis Wu'an who could point at the queen and call her a whore in the hall. His mouth is really stinky!

He only spoke a few words to King Yan, but he had already accused him!
Ma Fuxun wanted to maneuver the situation, but what right did he have to speak in such a situation!
The smile on King Xi of Yan's face froze, and then he bowed his hands apologetically and said, "Taking Zhuocheng first is actually a move to facilitate the southward march of our Great Yan troops, not a strategy that I do not trust Wu'an Jun."

"I am grateful to have Wu Anjun and his fellow Dai countrymen come to my aid and help my Great Yan open up a smooth path to the south!"

Li Mu said calmly: "No problem."

"I know that the King of Yan has never distrusted my strategy, but only distrusted the alliance."

"Although neither the old Zhao nor the present Great Dynasty has ever betrayed the alliance, the King of Yan still has no trust in the alliance of our Great Dynasty. Only by opening up the Du Kang area can the King of Yan feel at peace."

Li Mu did not mention Yan State's dishonest and disloyal act of breaking the alliance in the whole sentence.

But these four short words "judge others as you would like to be judged" are enough to encompass thousands of insults.

Even though Prince Xi of Yan often apologized to his subjects, he could not bear Li Mu's insult, which was almost like pointing at his nose and cursing at his mother!
King Xi of Yan slowly put away his smile and said in a slightly cold tone: "Don't worry about Dai Wu'an Jun."

"This battle involves the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Qi."

"In this battle, we, Great Yan, will fight to the bitter end and will not let down any of our allies or comrades!"

"I also hope that Wu Anjun can plan carefully and not treat the troops of the three countries differently because of personal grudges or one-sided views, which will hurt the hearts of comrades from various countries and even ruin the coalition's plan!"

It is impolite not to reciprocate, and King Xi of Yan also set a trap for Li Mu to prove himself.

As the Wu'an Jun of Dai State and the commander-in-chief of this war, how can Li Mu ensure that he can treat the troops of the three kingdoms equally when Li Mu has already clearly expressed his dislike for Yan State?
If Li Mu said he couldn't do it, why would King Xi of Yan, as the king of Yan, hand over the lives of the soldiers of Great Yan to Li Mu! It was natural for King Xi of Yan to discuss and decide on the strategy with Li Mu, and even lead the Yan army to reject Li Mu's order.

If Li Mu said he could do it, King Xi of Yan would immediately ask Li Mu to give specific measures, and when Li Mu issued every order that might cause heavy losses to the Yan army, he would ask Li Mu to treat the troops of the three kingdoms equally and preserve the interests of the Yan army as much as possible.

If Li Mu avoided the topic and fooled around, it would mean that Li Mu was guilty, and the Prince of Yan would have a reason to lead the Yan army away from the main battlefield and decide when to join the battlefield based on Prince Xi's judgment.

As the Prince of Yan and an expert at court politics, Prince Xi of Yan set a trap for Li Mu that would surely lead to his death no matter what!
In the eyes of King Xi of Yan, Li Mu, who had no idea about the art of political struggle, would definitely suffer this loss!
Li Mu frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help shouting angrily: "The time it took the Qin army to rush all the way here from Guanzhong is our army's biggest advantage in this battle!"

"Our army can only compete with the Qin army if we complete the integration and quickly seize the strategic location before the Qin army arrives here!"

"King of Yan, knowing that this war involves the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai, and Qi, why is he still thinking about enjoying the presence of his generals and chatting with me on the battlefield?!"

King Xi of Yan imagined many possible responses from Li Mu and had thought of countermeasures, but he never expected that Li Mu would scold him harshly!
However, what Li Muxun said made a lot of sense, leaving the King of Yan with no way to refute it.

He is the King of Yan! He is the King of Yan! How could he have ever been humiliated like this?

King Xi of Yan really wanted to beat Li Mu like he had beaten the courtiers of Yan State, but looking at Li Mu's fiery eyes, King Xi of Yan was afraid that Li Mu would fight back and he could not beat Li Mu.

King Xi of Yan wanted to rebuke Li Mu again, but looking at the elite soldiers behind Li Mu, King Xi of Yan was afraid that Li Mu would really lead his troops to go to war with the State of Yan as the Yan people threatened.

King Xi of Yan could only hold back his anger and pretend to laugh heartily, saying, "Dai Wu'an Jun is right. It is I who was negligent."

"Somebody come!"

"Set up camp quickly so that I can discuss military strategy with Dai Wu'an Jun!"

Li Mu finally nodded slightly: "This is the way to march!"

King Yan was happy: I can endure it!
A large tent with gold threads and jade decorations quickly appeared in the Yan army's formation.

Li Mu didn't care about the angry eyes at all. He stood at the head of the tent with a big horse and a golden sword, and pointed at Kunyutu with a wooden stick in his hand: "I think our army should be divided into two groups. One group will advance eastward and attack Linle. What this army wants is to contain the main force of Qin's Linle camp."

"Advance all the way to the southeast and attack Yicheng."

"At the same time, order the Qi army to send 200,000 troops to Pingshu and Wen'an to tie up the Qin army's forces, and send another 100,000 troops to besiege Licheng. Then, gather elite troops to attack the Yishui Great Wall on the south side of Yicheng. With a pincer attack from both the north and the south, quickly break through the Yishui Great Wall and join forces with our army!"

King Xi of Yan frowned deeply and said, "I think this strategy is inappropriate!"

"There is no need for our army to storm the Yishui Great Wall. As long as we can take over the Dukang area, we can also join forces with the Qi army!"

If the armies of Dai and Yan attacked the Yishui Great Wall directly, then Zhuocheng would be the only city for King Xi of Yan to return to Yan State, and it would also be the only baggage line for Yan State, which would be somewhat dangerous for Yan State.

Li Mu glanced at King Yan and said calmly, "King Yan has no experience in fighting on the battlefield, so he naturally feels that it is inappropriate."

"King Yan can read a few more military books, and then you will know how absurd King Yan's strategy is!"
