Eternal traitor

Chapter 469

"Marshal Qi Zuo, Li Muren set fire to the city and retreated into the fat again."

On the hillside, General Yi Pai thought of the city that was already on fire in the distance, and laughed when he saw the scouts who came to report.

"Marshal, Zhao Guo retreated again, it's really a rat."

"How dare Li Mu be called a famous general for such a cowardly move?"

"Zhao Guo has no courage, he is really a rat."

···················
A group of people laughed and looked at the raging city burning in the distance, they all laughed at Li Mu for being courageous, not daring to fight a tough battle, retreating eight cities in succession, Zhao Guo will let him give it up if it goes on like this.

"Don't be careless." Wang Jian, who was riding on the horse, frowned and looked at the retreating Zhao soldiers, his face became more and more ugly, "Although the morale of the Zhao soldiers is not high, the strength of the troops is not damaged. The attacks in the past few months, It only killed 2 horses from Zhao Guo. Li Mu knew that the Qin army wasted a lot every day, so he delayed this way. If he was allowed to delay for [-] days, I would have to consider going back."

The consumption of food and grass is what Wang Jian is most concerned about. Qin Guoqiang is not afraid of death in terms of sharp siege weapons and soldiers, but Li Mu avoids these two and keeps retreating. Wise choice.

In all fairness, if Wang Jian switched places with Li Mu himself, he would have no way to do better than Li Mu, so Wang Jian marched more cautiously.His purpose is not to attack the city at all, but to attack the heart.

The king of Qin has sent him a secret letter, saying that the state of Qin has bought off many important officials of the state of Zhao, and has started to frame Li Mu shortly after the opening, and will slander the coach Li Mu and his deputy Sima Shang in collusion with the Qin army every day in the court .

Wang Jian, who got the news, was not in a hurry. In less than two months, the casualties of the Qin army did not even reach a thousand people, but Zhao Guo suffered [-] casualties and lost eight cities. Isn't such a record just in response to those soldiers? words? ?
If King Zhao got the trick, it would be easy to fight this turn. If he didn't get the trick, then Wang Jian would order to prepare to forcibly attack the city. But if this is the case, the Qin army will suffer heavy casualties no matter whether they win or lose. did so.

"Send down the order to put out the fire and hunt down the deserters. If the enemy enters the city, don't continue to pursue them."

"The last will obey."

·······························································
The capital of King Zhao.

Above the court, Zhao Wangqian, who had just entered the court, kept walking back and forth like ants on a hot pot. He was under tremendous pressure every day, and even a beloved beauty felt boring at this time. Today's He has had insomnia for two nights in a row.

"Has today's battle report ever come??"

Scratching his ears and cheeks, King Zhao kept beating the palm of his left hand with his right hand, and looked at the courtiers above the hall and shouted anxiously.

"My lord...the battle report is here."

The eunuch on the side carefully praised the battle report, with a bitter expression, he could almost know what was going on without looking at the content of the battle report.

But Zhao Wang still didn't give up, he grabbed the battle report and read it carefully, but it was not unexpected that the latest defeat was written, Li Mu lost the city again and retreated to Feixia, the soldiers and the people were killed before they could escape.

"boom"

The battle report was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by King Zhao, and the wooden bamboo slips were shattered into countless pieces in an instant. The bamboo slips, which were considered sturdy, were thrown into such a state, which is enough to show how angry King Zhao was at this time.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu is really unbelievable. It took only [-] days without a single battle, but there were tens of thousands of soldiers and eight cities were lost. Wouldn't it be possible for the Qin army to take Zhao Guo without spending a single soldier? ? Your Majesty can no longer hesitate."

"Your Majesty Li Mu's heart can be punished, so how can you entrust him with such a blatant and blatant enemy?"

"Take Li Mu down and question him, Your Majesty can no longer be stubborn."

···················
Under the offensive of money, fame, and promised benefits, several important ministers of Zhao Guo have been slandering Li Mu. At first, there were still many people in the court who could still trust Li Mu, but now after dozens of days, there are pitiful battle reports again and again. The mouths of these people have been blocked, just looking at the content of the battle report, it is almost the same as what these people who slandered Li Mu said.

Gradually, some people who believed in Li Mu also felt that Li Mu was wronging the country, and joined the ranks of conquering Li Mu one after another. King Zhao, who had always trusted Li Mu, also gradually lost his once indestructible trust in Li Mu. .

Time and time again, he hoped that Li Mu would bring him some good news, even if it was a small victory report, but these days, apart from retreating, it was the report of how many people were shot and killed, such a battle report... ······ It was too chilling for him.

I gave him the strength of the whole country, even if Li Mu told him about the current gap between the enemy and us, but gradually he didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu and Sima Shang must be brought back for interrogation, otherwise Zhao Guo will endanger Yi... woo woo..."

At this moment above the main hall, a middle-aged man fell to his knees in the main hall crying loudly, begging King Zhao bitterly, his heart-piercing cry was enough to make anyone feel the feeling of worrying about the country and the people emotional.

"This··········"

Seeing his close minister Guo Kai being so "concerned about the country", Zhao Wang felt that he really shouldn't trust Li Mu? ?

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict to escort Li Mu and Sima Shang back."

"Your Majesty, stop hesitating. In another day, another city may be given away by Li Mu."

With Guo Kai leading the charge, a group of high-ranking ministers who had benefited knelt down and yelled heart-piercingly. In just a moment, half of the courtiers joined in and yelled in unison. "Ask Li Mu, Sima Shang.", "Ask Li Mu, Sima Shang."

I was hesitant to think that King Zhao could not hold back when he listened to the shouts of this crowd. No one in the civil and military court gave Li Mu any advice. Looking at the fragmented battle report on the ground, King Zhao's expression gradually became ferocious. stand up.

"The decree of King Gu is to remove Marshal Li Mu and Sima Shang as lieutenant general, and make Zhao Cong serve as Marshal Yan Ju as lieutenant general."

After saying this, Zhao Wang sat on his throne as if he had been burdened heavily.

"Your Majesty Yingming."

"Your Majesty Yingming."

"Your Majesty Yingming."

Hearing the courtiers' flattery, King Zhao's complexion improved a bit, and he looked at the two newly appointed generals with full expectation, hoping that these two could bring him a new hope.
