Chapter 658 After the War
Gu Xun quietly pulled the reins, stopped the horse, and after receiving the courtesy from Chen He, said goodbye, "Okay, I'm leaving. You go back to King Qi. After all, it's safest to have you by his side." "
Chen He clasped his hands and said goodbye, "Take care, sir."
"Hahaha..." Gu Xun smiled after hearing this, then turned his horse's head and rode away. He finally said a few words, "I hope we can meet again. Let's go!"
Chen He stood still and watched Gu Xun go away quietly until the figure was completely invisible. Then he left a word in his heart and turned back on his horse to chase the large army.
Then, I look forward to the next meeting with Mr.
………………
The State of Zhao was located in Feixian County, Yi'an, where the Qin army camped.
This is the camp of the Qin army and the place where the battle between Qin and Zhao ended.
On the battlefield, as far as the eye can see, there are endless soldiers, as well as blood and corpses all over the ground.
It looks tragic and bloody, but in fact this is the calmest and gentlest time on the battlefield, because the war is over, there is no main theme of fighting, and there is only silence.
Li Mu took advantage of Huanjue to mobilize the main army to march into Fei County, raided the Qin army's camp, raided Huanjue's lair, and forced Huanjue to return for reinforcements. He then led part of his army to block Huanjue's army head-on, and then dispersed the main army to both sides and encircled him. Attack the Qin army from a flank.
Huanjue was finally defeated, and his army of 100,000 people collapsed and scattered.
Li Mu, who had increasingly gray hair on his temples, stood on his carriage and scanned the battlefield.
In such a battle, in which both sides combined nearly 200,000 troops, he actually couldn't see the battle situation with the naked eye - there were people everywhere. Even if they were dressed differently, he couldn't tell them apart. He still had to rely on messengers to convey military information. War situation.
But the war was over by now, and he was just relaxing.
At this time, his lieutenant—not Sima Shang, who was left in the north to guard against the foreign tribes in the north—came over to report:
"General, Huan Jue's 100,000 troops have all been defeated and fled. Huan Jue is running away under the protection of his own soldiers. We have arranged for troops to pursue him."
"Well..." Li Mu nodded slightly and ordered, "Give me the order. The army will rest for two days. After two days, it will rise and rush to Wu'an to garrison."
"The general has your order!" The deputy general saluted and accepted the order, then left.
Li Mu continued to look at the army that was cleaning the battlefield and reorganizing its formation, silently, his eyes full of solemnity and helplessness.
The Qin army's offensive came earlier and more fiercely than he expected. Although Huan Jue's 100,000-strong army was defeated, there was still a more difficult Wang Jian outside the Taihang Mountains, watching covetously.
Soldiers do not worry about victory, but worry about defeat first.
Li Mu defeated Huan Jue, and he was confident of resisting Wang Jian, but the question was, how long could he hold on?
There is a feud between Yan and Zhao, and if Zhao is in trouble, Yan will only add insult to injury.
Although South Korea and Wei are so-called allies of the Three Jins, let alone whether the relationship is still good now, even if they are willing to help Zhao, they are powerless.
Not to mention Qi and Chu, the former stayed in a corner and ignored the disputes in other countries, while the latter... might deal with Qin, but they would never send troops to save Zhao. At most, they would just fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation.
How long can Zhao State compete with Qin State with its own strength?
When Li Mu thought of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and scolded South Korea for being such a pig teammate. He sent good water conservancy talents to Qin...
Zheng Guoqu!
And King Zhao's attitude... Li Mu felt that he was already on the edge of a cliff. If he made a wrong step, he would be doomed!
"Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo..."
………………
Ten months later, Gu Xuncai returned to Xianyang City leisurely on horseback.
He didn't deliberately control his speed, he just insisted on not driving at night and didn't ride wildly.
In today's era, this speed is actually not too slow, but it is just slower than the speed he usually travels alone.
Zhang Han, for example, has not returned to Xianyang yet, and it will probably take at least three to five days.
On the way, Gu Xun also heard the latest news about the battle between Qin and Zhao - Huanjie was defeated, and Li Mu sent his troops south to garrison Wu'an for a generation, confronting Wang Jian across the Taihang Mountains.
Zhao Wangqian rewarded Li Mu with the title of Lord Wu'an for his meritorious service.
Gu Xun shook his head when he heard this. This reward... is really unlucky!
Qin's response was to continue to send more troops to the border, obviously wanting to fight again.
Zhao State had no choice but to increase its troops to deal with it.
However, now that almost all the military strength of Zhao State is in the hands of Li Mu, what will Zhao Wangqian think about the newly promoted King Wu'an of Zhao State?
………………
"I've met the Imperial Master."
Zhao Gao's feminine voice has always been recognisable, and Gu Xun could recognize it as soon as he heard it.
Just like before, as soon as he returned to Xianyang, Gu Xun was found before he even had time to return home.
But this time, some people were obviously anxious and actually came out to find him in person.
Gu Xun smiled and looked at Zhao Gao, who tried his best to cover up but failed to suppress the gloom on his face. The smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more cheerful and wanton, "Hey, Zhao Fu Ling, why are you free to leave the palace today?"
Zhao Gao put on an ugly smile and responded coldly, "The Imperial Preceptor is joking. I was ordered by Your Majesty to invite the Imperial Preceptor to the palace to see you."
Gu Xun stood up and dismounted, wondering, "Your Majesty is looking for me, so you have to go quickly, but my horse..."
"...National Master, please rest assured, I will arrange for someone to take care of you."
"That's fine." Gu Xun snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Please ask Zhao Mansion to keep it in the palace. I will ask you for it when I need it."
"Hmm... I remember Zhao Fuling is in charge of... oh yes, in charge of carriages. Taking care of the horses is also considered as one's job."
"Haha!" Zhao Gao squeezed out a smile from between his teeth and refused to answer the question, "National Master, please hurry up."
After saying that, he headed towards Zhangtai Palace first.
Seeing this, Gu Xun touched his horse, threw it where it was, and then chased after it.
After the two left, someone came quickly and took away Gu Xun's horse with an expressionless expression.
Zhao Gao did not communicate with Gu Xun along the way, and hurried back to Ying Zheng's study in silence with a gloomy face.
Theoretically speaking, the flaw in the net this time was discovered by Gu Xun and made up for in time by Gu Xun. He should ease the relationship with Gu Xun so that the other party can say a few good words to Ying Zheng.
Zhao Gao is not a person who cannot lose face and bows to others, but he is very aware of Gu Xun's hostility and rejection of him.
This is not a relationship that can be repaired by just bowing his head and saying nice things.
Unless... he's willing to spend money.
If there were, he wouldn't mind smashing some, but unfortunately there weren't, or... not enough.
Since it didn't work anyway, he was too lazy to keep the superficial relationship with Gu Xunxu.
Anyway, this mistake will not cause him to be given up by Ying Zheng, but he will need to be more careful in the future.
But it can never happen again.
He has served Ying Zheng for many years, and there is room for mistakes, but only this time.
