Infinite war begins with Cao thief.

Chapter 370 Why can’t Baidu search for you, but Sogou can?

Zhao's war agents were stunned. They did not expect that Li Mu would be kidnapped ahead of time, which made their final strategy fail.

But now that things have come to this, they can no longer care about that.

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

"We can't go to Jicheng. Wang Jian will definitely chase us to Jicheng! There's no need to go to Daidi either. It's a dead end there too. Let's go directly to the grassland!"

There are clear-headed war agents who realize the seriousness of the situation.
"But without Li Mu, how can we train a million-strong cavalry and archery army?"

Questions were raised.

There is still a difference between military formations and military arrays.

The army trained by Li Mu is the top army in this world; while the ones trained by these war agents are only at the level of ordinary legions at present, and the gap is very obvious.

Li Mu's army corps could easily defeat three of these war agents at once, and maybe even ten at once!

Moreover, famous generals like Li Mu can improve the upper limit of the army. Other generals can only train troops into quasi-national defense legions, but after their training, it is very likely that they can become a national defense legion.

When Wang Jian was guarding Bazhong, he easily trained 10,000 Qin elite soldiers from 50,000 ordinary legions. This is the level of a top general.

The top generals in this world are not only capable of command, but also top army-building machines!

The army of a top general will become stronger as the battle goes on, and a large number of elite troops will emerge as the battle goes on.

Although the war agents also have famous generals, they are generally only at the first level of mythology, and their abilities in all aspects are still far behind those of Wang Jian and Li Mu.

Not only that, if Li Mu could not be found, most of the non-war agents in the army would probably flee. They were coerced before mainly because of Li Mu's prestige.

"Without Zhang the butcher, will we just eat the hairy pigs? We have almost mastered the military formation. In history, the Huns were able to defeat Liu Bang at the Siege of Baideng. We have so many people, so many famous ministers and generals, and we have trained hard for decades, but we are still not as good as the Huns?"

Finally someone made the final decision.

There are still forty years left, so what kind of military formation can’t be honed?

When we return as kings, we will make sure that Qin and Yu offer their queens and princesses to us for marriage!
Ducking!

Under his encouragement, the war agents finally made up their minds, even though they knew that this decision was painful and that their inheritance, children, wives and concubines would become spoils of war, or be killed or ravaged in every way;
Although they knew that they might not be able to hone the national defense army formation and fight back;

But if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.

A strategic shift at this time leaves room for success.

As long as we can achieve the final victory, everything will be there!
Otherwise, everything is over!
The war agents of Zhao fled frantically, while the war agents of Qin chased them madly.

Qin's war agents had never fought such an exciting battle.

Qin and Zhao were the only two countries that had absorbed the power of war agents. Overall, Qin absorbed it better and with more people. These became Qin's war potential and were eventually transformed into a large number of Qin elite soldiers, ordinary military formations and legions, as well as food and other resources, which helped Qin overcome difficulties.

Especially after the previous massacre of war agents, which killed more than 2,000 war agents and recovered two to three thousand cities and resources, the Qin State made a huge recovery.

What’s interesting is that although other war agents were all in danger when the Qin people slaughtered the more than 2,000 war agents, no one dared to raise their arms and say “Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all born with different races?” Instead, after so many positions were vacated, they worked even harder for the Qin Dynasty.

No one thinks that he or she will be the next lamb to be slaughtered, and everyone thinks that he or she will definitely be the luckiest one.

In fact, each of these war agents is a rare talent if taken individually, but once they are in a group, they are no different from ordinary people.

Group stupidity is a very common phenomenon.

The more a group appears to be united but is actually divided, the more likely it is to become a mob.

But few people think they are stupid. Instead, they are glad that they made the right choice.

This time, they also established too many military exploits, and it was nothing more than getting rich overnight.

The overwhelming victory almost made them forget their own last names.

"Take over Jicheng and destroy Zhao!"

Countless people shouted such slogans.

The war agent forces, including the entire Qin army, were full of fighting spirit.

However, what they could not have imagined was that there was an army that was even more motivated than them.

Lian Po's troops, who had been holding back for so many years, made a detour from the grassland and, with the help of an insider, captured the Yanshan Pass. They were invincible and headed straight for Jicheng.

In Jicheng, people from Dayu Bai Ze Di Ting had already opened the city gate.

King Yan of Zhao died of fright on his sickbed, and the whereabouts of Song Ji and the other five women were unknown.

Lian Po, who hated King Zhao so much, not only whipped the corpse but also dug out the previous King Zhao, crushed his bones and scattered his ashes to pay tribute to the soul of his relative in heaven.

After the memorial service, Lian Po finally returned to his heart for Dong Huang.

After returning to his loyalty, Lian Po immediately reorganized his troops and headed straight for Wang Jian's troops. His mission goal was to stick to Wang Jian's troops, and after the main forces of the army gathered, he would defeat the main forces of the Qin army in one fell swoop and completely subdue the Qin army.

If we defeat the Qin army, we can then accept the land of Qin.

As for the strategy to conquer the vast tracts of land of Yan and Zhao, it was left to other Dayu army troops that crossed the sea.

To be honest, Dayu's strategy of conquering the territories of Yan and Zhao, especially the previous territories of Yan and Qi, went very smoothly.

These places had never been loyal to Zhao State in the first place. On the contrary, they were in the midst of war because of Zhao State's extreme exploitation in recent years. When the army of Dayu, which was known for its benevolence and righteousness, arrived, half of them surrendered. The rest, seeing that Dayu really did not hold grudges and reduced taxes as advertised, also gave up resistance.

Wang Jian was also surprised by the rapid progress of the Yu army, which appeared almost suddenly.

It’s not that he didn’t guard against the Yu army, but he didn’t expect the Yu army to come so quickly, so quickly that it seemed as if he knew when the Qin army would defeat the Zhao army.

[Could it be that Li Mu's accident was actually a counter-espionage plot by the Yu people? ]

Wang Jian felt a chill in his heart.

He secretly felt fortunate that most of the troops he sent out to capture cities and territories were ordinary legions, and that 50% to 60% of the Qin elite soldiers were under his control. However, even so, the Qin army still suffered huge losses. The Qin army's vanguard troops were caught off guard and were almost all eaten up by the Dayu army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Jian had to quickly adjust the army's deployment, switching from pursuit to defense and reorganizing the army's formation. However, the millions of Qin troops were separated too far and too chaotic across the vast land of Yan and Zhao. When he gave the order, the army was still busy pursuing or occupying territory.

In order to maintain balance, maintain good relations with colleagues and occupy Zhao State as soon as possible, Wang Jian decisively divided his troops after defeating the main force of the Zhao army.

Wang Jian divided the army into four groups. He led the main force to cover the rear, Yang Duanhe was the vanguard to drive directly to Jicheng, Huan Xi was the right wing to attack the former territory of Yan and Qi in Hebei, and Li Yao was the left wing to go north to attack the pass and Dai.

This was a deployment that was not problematic in itself, as it could not only capture the territory of Zhao State to the maximum extent, but also prevent the defeated Zhao soldiers from having a chance to reorganize through rapid pursuit.

However, this also gave the Dayu army the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Yang Duanhe's troops were beaten up by Lian Po's troops who had been stuck on the grassland for too long, and Yang Duanhe himself was captured by Jiang Wei.

Huan Xi's troops were also very unlucky.

Huan Xi suddenly encountered Huang Zhong's troops heading north.

Huang Zhong, who had been fighting unfavorable battles since coming to this mission space, finally got the opportunity to prove himself and defeated the unsuspecting Huan Xi's troops miserably.

The core heavy cavalry archers corps of Huang Zhong's army, Xiahou Yuan corps, Xiahou Dun corps, etc., all performed brilliantly in this battle.

Poor Huan Xi wanted to escape, but his chariot was destroyed by an arrow from Huang Zhong and he was eventually captured by Huang Zhong's army.

Li Yao's troops were ambushed by Deng Ai and others.

Because Song Ji and others had stolen the military tokens and forged several imperial edicts to the commanders of key fortresses, and because there were already a large number of Zhao people in the Dayu army, Deng Ai's troops made great progress and successfully caught Li Yao's troops off guard. If Li Xin had not been brave enough to break through the battlefield and lead the army to fight a bloody way out, he and his father Li Yao would have been captured. At this point, three of the four armies of the Qin army were defeated.

The fundamental reason for the defeat was not that the Qin army was incompetent, but that the Qin army had been fighting continuously for a year and was highly nervous and exhausted. After the sudden victory, they inevitably relaxed. They also fought easy battles such as pursuit battles, so it was naturally impossible for them to concentrate their forces. This inevitably revealed too many flaws. Secondly, the Dayu army had been gathering strength and preparing for this war for several years, and successfully caught the Qin army off guard.

Various factors led to the Qin army's disastrous defeat.

After this defeat, the Qin army was forced to retreat back to the Handan-Zhangshui-Julu line, and only barely retained these important places. Even Jingxing was taken over by Deng Ai's troops.

In other words, Wang Jian was as steady as an old dog. In the end, he gathered a million troops to defend the city and did not give Lian Po a chance to complete the task.

This made Dong Huang, who was leading the army in person again, couldn't help but sigh at the good luck of Xu Chu, who was beaten black and blue by Dian Wei.

Dong Huang led the army in person this time, and the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu finally reunited.

After Dayu stopped pretending, Dian Wei naturally had no need to play the role of Ji Wuye anymore. This time he finally returned to Dong Huang and met the tiger-crazy Xu Chu whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two have been friends for decades and haven't seen each other for many years, so it's normal for them to have some communication, right?
It's normal for men to fight each other, right?

Thus, Xu Chu, who defeated Wang Jian and Han Xin, was defeated by Dian Wei...

Dian Wei: I am the number one general!

Looking at Wang Jian's well-guarded camp, Dong Huang, who had well-trained soldiers and sufficient food, was eager to try.

He also wanted to defeat Wang Jian personally once.

However, Dong Huang thought again, if one of my subordinates could defeat Wang Jian, doesn’t that mean I am more powerful?
At this moment, Dong Huang's train of thought agreed with Dian Wei's.

But Dong Huang still had to stay at the front line, because without him, no one could control these arrogant and powerful soldiers.

Needless to say, Dian Wei's army would not recognize anyone except Dong Huang;

Huang Zhong was previously known as Dong Huang's best general, and his army of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun was no less powerful than some of the Five Elite Generals.
Lian Po was originally an arrogant and conceited veteran;

The newly surrendered Li Mu was grateful for Dong Huang's kindness and trust in letting him directly reorganize the Zhao army, and he was also eager to try;
Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others have come out to form their own army. Although they have relatively little experience, they are all first-class figures.
In addition, there are other great generals, which can be said to be a gathering of stars...

These people can stand on their own outside. If Dong Huang wasn't there to pressure them, it would be easy for them to be at odds with each other...

There are too many famous generals, and there are also too many troubles for famous generals.

Instead, Wang Jian is feeling some pain now.

He exchanged positions with Li Mu. Now Dong Huang had absolute advantages in terms of both general level and military strength. Although Wang Jian's defense was impeccable, he was still pinned down here and unable to move.

Wang Jian could only ask for help from the Qin court.

However, what awaited Wang Jian was a shocking piece of bad news - Zhao Gao arrested his family and sent people to arrest him.

The other party's reason was that he was harboring Gai Nie, a criminal who was plotting to assassinate the King of Qin, and they suspected that he was also involved in the conspiracy to assassinate the King of Qin.

"General, please arrest Gai Nie and prove your innocence!"

The eunuch who delivered the message said sinisterly.

"Gai Nie is not here with me, he has never been here!"

Wang Jian still wanted to quibble.

However, Wang Jian did not expect that Xu Shu and Jing Shan, who personally participated in planning the coup in Xianyang Palace, could have overlooked Gai Nie.

Gai Nie's potential is indeed huge, but at this moment he is only at the peak of the second level of mythology, and his potential is far from being transformed into strength.

He was able to escape not because of his strength, but because his escape movements were predicted and heavy troops were deployed in other directions in order to force him to run to Wang Jian.

Fortunately, Gai Nie was not smart enough and finally ran to Wang Jian. If he had been determined to go in another direction, he would have been killed long ago.

A Gai Nie, if he dies, he dies.

Since Gai Nie fled to Wang Jian, it would be natural for Zhao Gao to take action against Wang Jian next. This would reduce Wang Jian's vigilance about whether there was a conspiracy by Dayu to the greatest extent and prevent him from suspecting Dong Huang, thus increasing the possibility of his return.

Dong Huang's current attitude towards these famous generals is very similar to those scumbags who trick girls into bed. They may use all kinds of tricks, but their true nature will be exposed as soon as they go to bed.

Dong Huang's ability determined that it was almost impossible for these famous generals to betray him after returning to the throne.

"Not here?"

The eunuch sneered.

Immediately, several Qin soldiers came forward to testify.

The Qin soldiers did not dare to look Wang Jian in the eye, but still testified: "We saw with our own eyes when Gai Nie came to the military camp, hid there, and has not left yet!"

This time, Wang Jian was completely paralyzed.

At this moment, he was finally able to understand what Li Mu had felt before.

He was not afraid of open wars, but he was defenseless against the attacks from behind, especially those from the highest authority in the court.

Several of Wang Jian's close confidants glared at these traitors, and the radical ones even drew their swords.

The eunuch calmly pressed, "General, the lives of our entire clan depend on your thoughts!"

At this moment, the eunuchs' true colors of forcing women of good character into prostitution were fully revealed.

Wang Jian's hand was on the hilt of the sword, he was struggling internally and at the same time trying to delay time.

This is a dilemma.

It is easy to attack and kill Gai Nie, but if he does so, his reputation will be completely ruined.

But if he doesn't do anything, his family...

In his heart, Wang Jian had actually made his choice, but as he was well versed in military strategy, he still held out a glimmer of hope, because there was actually a way out of this dilemma.

Sure enough, just when Wang Jian could no longer wait, the person who broke the impasse appeared.

Gai Nie strode in, threw his sword on the ground, and said, "I'll go with you!"

Gai Nie is still a loyal man.

So, Wang Jian and Gai Nie were escorted back to Xianyang.

What awaited them was the punishment of being torn apart by five horses.

Zhao Gao charged Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son, as well as Gai Nie with crimes such as "colluding with assassins, plotting to murder the previous king, colluding with the State of Yu, and deliberately losing the war". He directly ordered the beheading of Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son, and Gai Nie in public, and was unwilling to even give them a chance to appeal.

Wang Jian suddenly felt hopeless.

He never thought that he would die at the hands of a villain before fulfilling his ambitions for the country.

On the day of his execution, Wang Jian looked up to the sky and sighed: "The Qin Empire is doomed!"

However, the executioners just urged them to hurry up.

The three men were quickly tied with ropes around their necks and limbs. The fifteen best war horses did not become weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield, but instead became accomplices in the death of the Qin army.

Soon the three people's necks were tightened, and the feeling of suffocation made their necks red...

I've been exhausted by various things recently. I'll probably be able to write about 6,000 words next week, but in the next few days it may only be around 4,000 words.
