Li Mu's death had an immeasurable impact on the State of Zhao, but King Zhao, who was in a high position, did not see this. He attributed the failure to the fact that the soldiers were not accustomed to the climate when they entered the Zhou Dynasty!
As for Li Mu, King Zhao finally gave him a more pertinent evaluation: During his military life, he made great contributions to the Zhao State many times. He died in the battle against the Zhou Dynasty and was given a generous burial. His descendants could directly join the army and enjoy the treatment of Yulin Military Academy Lieutenant.
Sima Shang also received generous burial treatment.
The two traitorous ministers Guo Kai and Zhao Mu were very satisfied with this result. They would never watch Li Mu return victorious. If Ji Jie had not controlled the situation in time and successfully counterattacked, the two of them would have been killed by King Zhao. They are facing slander, because Li Mu's comeback will herald the end of the power in their hands.
One hundred thousand Zhao soldiers died in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the whole country mourned. Only Guo Kai and Zhao Mu enjoyed the singing and dancing while drinking. They no longer had to worry about Zhao's military power being taken away by others.
"Haha, congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the Prime Minister!" Zhao Mu smiled lewdly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Zhao's 200,000-strong army is under the command of the Prime Minister!"
"Same joy!" Guo Kai raised his wine glass and said, "Julu Marquis is also very good. You got the position of Handan garrison, but you have 40,000 Handan garrison in your hands! As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. , I will have to rely more on the care of the Marquis on the ground in Handan from now on!"
"Oh, if the Prime Minister said this, he really killed a villain!" Zhao Mu hurriedly vowed: "No matter how big my official position is, I am still just a pawn under you. You asked me to go east. I will never dare to go west!"
"Haha, that's good, that's good!" Guo Kai was very happy after hearing these words. He pointed at the dozens of young women dancing below and said, "Which one you like, just take it away!"
"Then I won't be polite!" Zhao Mu glanced at the dancers with his evil eyes.
…
Ji Jie sent someone to inform King Han An and Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling of Wei, that he would attack Zhao in the near future. In particular, he told Wei Wuji to pay close attention to the movements of the king and generals of Wei to avoid the recurrence of the fire in the backyard.
Then, some defenders were left in the cities of Zhou and Yan, and Ji Jie raised another 100,000 troops and marched toward Zhao in a mighty manner.
In the main hall of King Zhao's palace, King Zhao and his ministers discussed politics, and specially invited Prince Zhao Qian.
"Last time, my army of 100,000 troops attacked Zhou, but failed. This time, Ji Jie personally led 100,000 troops to invade Zhao. Do you have any good strategies?" King Zhao asked.
Guo Kai took a step forward and said: "Although the Zhou army has never suffered a defeat under the leadership of Ji Jie, our country, Zhao, is not easy to bully. We still have 300,000 soldiers stationed in dozens of cities. Even if it is a waste of time, , can also consume all Ji Jie’s 100,000 men!”
"Master Xiang Guo is right!" Zhao Mu agreed: "Ji Jie wants to defeat Zhao with a hundred thousand people. It is simply a wishful thinking!"
After hearing this, King Zhao felt confident and said with a smile: "Since everyone is so confident in defeating the Zhou army, I can rest assured. Prince, do you have anything to say?"
Zhao Qian shrugged slightly and said: "What Guo Xiangguo and Juluhou said is very reasonable. Even if the Zhao army is inferior to the Zhou army in terms of combat strength, as a defensive party, it has taken advantage of the time, location, and people. Sticking to these factors is a piece of cake!”
King Zhao nodded proudly. His son could have such an opinion, and he would be proud as a father.
"I have given my order that the soldiers in each city must fight to the death and live and die together with the city!" King Zhao ordered: "We must work together as one to fight against the powerful enemy!"
"We work together as one to fight against the powerful enemy!"
"We work together as one to fight against the powerful enemy!"
The slogans were shouted loudly, and Zhao Qian also clenched his fists and shouted with the ministers in a decent manner, just like the legendary angry youth two thousand years later!
But Zhao Qian didn't think so in his heart. He knew Ji Jie very well and knew that that kid never played his cards according to the rules. God knows whether Zhao's generals could keep up with his changes in thinking. Even Li Mu couldn't. I guess these idiots Even less can they.
If we want to say who is the most dandy among the "second generation kings" of the Seven Kingdoms, it must be Zhao Qian. He has not had the slightest interest in governing the country since he was a child. As long as he is satisfied with his daily food, drink and fun, whether he is a king or not does not matter to him. It's not important at all.
Therefore, when he heard that Ji Jie led his troops to invade Zhao, not only was he not worried at all, but he also felt a little gloating, and even hoped that Ji Jie would become the master of Zhao.
Why, because Ji Jie is both his good friend and his brother-in-law. Even if Ji Jie kills all the Zhao people, he will not lay a finger on him. Maybe he will help him come up with more exciting things. program!
Although Zhao Qian is a playboy, it does not mean that he has no brains. He has never expressed this idea in front of outsiders, especially in front of his father.
"Fight, fight, you guys beat yourselves, I'm going to Xiuchun Tower to have some fun!" As soon as Zhao Qian left the palace, he returned to his original carefree demeanor and went into Xiuchun Tower and never came out again.
After Ji Jie led his army into Zhao territory, he did not directly choose the city to attack. Instead, he took a detour and marched all the way south. Zhao Guo's generals contracted the defense according to the order they had received before, relying on the city walls to consume the enemy's energy, so they abandoned the periphery of the city. Defense, so that Ji Jie's march was extremely smooth, and he did not suffer any form of harassment during the process.
This shocked the people of Zhao State, and they couldn't help but guess what his real purpose was. Could it be that he wanted to merge with the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the border town of Qi State?
Wrong!
Ji Jie's real purpose is to form a north-south pincer attack on Zhao State. As for where he will get the troops to complete the attack from the north, haha, of course it is Rouyue and her prairie cavalry!
The number of troops in Rouyue's hands has reached 200,000. She left 80,000 people to continue to fight against Wu Li Shanyu, and personally led 120,000 elite cavalry through Yan State and entered Zhao State. Zhao people's attention was focused on the south Didn't Zhao Jun understand that these people came down from the sky until the moment she ordered to attack the city?
Rou Yue's cavalry equipment was completely provided by Ji Jie. At first glance, it looked no different from the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No wonder those Zhao soldiers were surprised. In this way, the three cities changed hands without any precautions, and the Qi State was shocked.
Ji Jie also started to advance northward at this time. Although the obstacles he encountered were all hard nails, he was pulled out one by one.
King Zhao was panicked. He was really panicked this time. No matter how good his psychological quality was, he couldn't stand the pressure brought by fighting on two fronts. What's more, the old man's mentality was not very strong.
Guo Kai and Zhao Mu were also panicked. They lost eight cities in seven days. At this rate, Zhao would be destroyed in less than two months!
King Zhao shouted hysterically to Wei for help. South Korea was no longer reliable. The boy King of Han and Ji Jie were wearing the same pants.
