Chapter 7 Attacking Zhao
"Do you think Huan Jue dares to falsely report his military exploits?"
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and Meng Wu and asked calmly.
The two of them were startled, and then they realized that if such military exploits were fake, they would not be able to withstand investigation. If Huanjue dared to send someone to Xianyang, and if he dared to send it to the king, it was very likely that it was indeed true!
What's more, the report also stated that Wang Li could testify, so Wang Li couldn't really trick Wang Jian.
No matter how confused Huan Jue is, he should know how strict the laws of Qin are.
"Maybe, it's true!"
Meng Wu thought about this and could no longer find any other reasons why he couldn't believe it.
Wang Jian came back to his senses, read the contents of the report again, and said: "If this person is really that brave, Da Qin has gained another brave general, maybe he will be our Da Qin's second Lord Wu'an!"
How powerful was Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an? He was invincible in all battles in his life. He served as the commander-in-chief of Qin for more than thirty years and conquered more than seventy cities with great military exploits.
"I read General Huan's report and wrote later that Baizhong came from Baijia Village, Yiyi, and was from the same place as Wu'an Jun."
Wang Jian stopped here.
Bai Qi's achievements were so great that he was awarded Du You's death in the end. It is somewhat inappropriate to compare the relationship between Bai Zhong and Bai Qi.
Ying Zheng didn't have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he admired Bai Zhong even more and said with a smile: "Bai Zhong, you may be the Wu'an Lord of me!"
"Congratulations, king!"
Wang Jian and Meng Wu said in unison.
They can all see that Ying Zheng is very satisfied with Bai Zhong. If his military exploits are found out and there are no problems, he will definitely be reused.
"It's only a matter of time before Huanjue takes over Chili."
"It's just that Li Mu in the north will go south to rescue at any time. Zhao will definitely defend the two cities of Chili and Yi'an. Huanjue's next situation will not be good."
Ying Zheng paused for a moment, looked at Wang Jian, and asked, "Is Wang Ben in the Shangjun camp?"
"Yes! Wang Ben leads an army of one hundred thousand and is stationed in Shangjun, ready to serve the king at any time."
Wang Jian said loudly, as if he understood what the king wanted to do.
Ying Zheng said: "Order Wang Ben to lead the soldiers and horses of Shangjun to capture Langmeng first, then march eastward to Panwu and approach Handan. At the same time..."
He looked at Meng Wu.
"Please give me your orders, Your Majesty!"
Meng Wu bowed and bowed.
"At the same time, Meng Qing led the soldiers and horses of the Hedong camp, crossed the Zhang River, took the city of Ye, and finally approached Handan."
"The troops were divided into three routes to attack Zhao. Chili and Yi'an opened the northern gate of Handan, penetrated into the interior of Zhao from Fanwu, and then marched from the southern route to Zhangshui to attack Handan."
"I want Zhao Wangqian to be caught off guard!"
Ying Zheng stood up and looked at the sand table next to him.
The ambition to destroy the Six Kingdoms was rekindled.
"I will take your orders!"
Meng Wu and Wang Jian said in unison.
——
In the imperial palace of the State of Zhao, there are warblers and swallows.
More than a dozen Zhao Palace concubines, disheveled, were playing in the main hall.
Zhao Wangqian was blindfolded and playing hide-and-seek. He raised his hands and slowly walked towards a concubine. As he walked, he said, "Beauty, where are you?"
The concubine gave a sweet smile and was about to leave when she was pushed gently by another concubine, bumping into Zhao Wangqian's arms.
"Beauty, I caught you!"
Zhao Wangqian hugged the concubine, took off the blindfold, lifted her hands and kissed her.
When the other concubines saw her, they approached her with charming smiles.
The hall was filled with an unpleasant atmosphere.
"King!"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked to the front of the hall but did not dare to go in.
"Guo Kai? What's the matter?"
Zhao Wangqian was interrupted from his interest, glanced outside, and waved impatiently to ask the beauty beside him to retreat.
Only then did Guo Kai dare to walk into the main hall and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. The Qin army crossed the Taihang Mountains and attacked Chili. They have killed more than half of Chili's guards. The guard Zhao Yuan is about to lose his hold. Once Chili is lost,
Yi'an will soon be gone, and the north of Handan will be directly exposed to the Qin army, and we will all be finished by then."
He raised a bamboo slip and sent it to Zhao Wangqian.
boom!
As soon as Zhao Wangqian finished reading, he threw the bamboo slips to the ground, his face flushed with anger.
"Qin, Qin again!"
"How dare he, Ying Zheng!"
"Chili Yi'an must not be lost. What should we do now?"
Zhao Wangqian stood up, looked at Guo Kai anxiously, and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"I...I can't do anything about it."
Guo Kai shivered.
The Qin army is the strongest army among the seven kingdoms, and they are no match for them.
But after thinking hard for a while, Guo Kai thought of something and said quickly: "Yes, let Li Mu come back from Yanmen Pass, defend Yi'an first, and then take back Chili."
"no!"
Zhao Wangqian immediately vetoed it.
Li Mu's meritorious service was so great that he had a higher reputation in Zhao than himself as the king of Zhao. Zhao Wangqian was very afraid of him. When he was in Handan, Li Mu relied on his merits and disobeyed him over and over again. He wanted to kill him.
And because the State of Zhao did not have many generals, Li Mu was the only general after Lian Po who could support the State of Zhao.
Zhao Wangqian did not dare to offend Li Mu to death, but was reluctant to kill him, so he simply arranged to go to the border to suppress the Huns, out of sight but out of mind.
If Li Mu defends Yi'an and Chili, drives away the Qin army, and achieves great success, he, the King of Zhao, is worried that he will never be able to suppress Li Mu again.
"If not, the northern gate of Handan will not be able to be defended!"
Guo Kai thought of an idea and said: "When Li Mu defeats the Qin army, the king will not let him return to Handan and continue to guard Yanmen Pass. He will no longer be able to contradict the king, and the credit will have nothing to do with him."
When Zhao Wangqian heard this, he thought it was good.
If the northern gateway is gone, Handan will definitely be in danger, far more dangerous than Li Mu's increasing achievements.
"It's said that Li Mu is back. He will first defend Yi'an and then take back Chili."
"If Chili and Yi'an make mistakes, I will definitely kill him!"
Zhao Wangqian said fiercely.
——
On the same day, a fast horse left Handan at high speed, bypassed the two cities of Chili and Yi'an, and rushed towards Yanmen Pass at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.
When the order was sent to Li Mu, the knight's fast horse fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
"General, what is Chili's military situation?"
The lieutenant on the side asked.
They had already learned about Chili's predicament and knew that the Qin army wanted to capture the gate to the north of Handan. However, Li Mu never returned reinforcements from Yanmen Pass. The reason was simple: he was waiting for Zhao Wangqian's transfer order.
No matter how high his reputation was, Li Mu was still a minister. No matter how mediocre Zhao Wangqian was, his heart was still loyal to the State of Zhao, and he was very clear about the reason why he was assigned to the northern border.
Without an order, he left the important place in the north at will. Even if Zhao Wangqian wanted to kill him, Li Mu could not do anything about it.
Li Mu could also guess that Zhao Wangqian would definitely send him back to deal with Huan Jue.
"That's right!"
"Find someone to help me deliver this to General Sima Shang."
"Since the Qin army wants to get the northern part of our Zhao country, then I will keep these 100,000 Qin troops here forever."
After Li Mu read the order, he took out a bamboo slip from his body and handed it to the deputy general.
