Facing the stranger with the Flying Riding Order, the generals hesitated, but the matter was not a secret. Therefore, they did not hide it. Looking at the venerable man on the other side who was covered in strange phenomena, he spoke softly.
Of.
This venerable person who came from afar was so powerful that even the great hero Lu Goujian in the army was no match for him. He claimed that his cultivation level was even higher than that of Confucius Zhongshan, which attracted the general's attention.
"who is he?"
There are three generals leading the Qin State's attack on Zhao. They are General Meng Wu, Wang Jian, and Zhenjun Daowu. Among them, Zhenjun Daowu is the only one who is famous for his extraordinary martial arts. According to the information he has received, his cultivation level has probably reached the level of Xuan Guan.
.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to easily kill Master Zhongshan a few years ago. In addition, with the foundation of Taoist Xuan Gong, there are probably very few people in the entire Zhuxia who can stop him.
Although the barefoot and bald man is not bad, he will get into trouble if he rashly goes to the army. Facing Lord Wu Zhen, it will be fine if he loses. If he wins, it is estimated that the entire Li Mu army will become the focus.
"Your Majesty is a cultivator from another country who came all the way from the Western Regions a few months ago. I heard the great hero Lu Goujian once said that it seems to be what...the country of peacocks. We don't know the specifics."
"The venerable martial arts is extraordinary, and he was kept in the army by the general, thinking that he would be used in an important way. In recent days, there have been rumors that a wolf god has appeared here, and the venerable one came here."
The general was also extremely surprised by the name Peacock Country. Of course, the great hero Lu Goujian also said that this is a translated word. If it is the word of the country where the venerable is, I am afraid it may not necessarily mean this.
Looking at the pack of wolves that have not left around, although they are still fierce, there is a hint of natural peace in the depths of their fierce eyes. The wolves howl no longer exist, and they just walk on the ground casually.
"World Honored One, if you lower the curtain, you will bless the Tathagata."
The phantom of the ninth-grade golden lotus under his feet rotates, and the golden light rises and falls on the whole body. With one hand, the wolf god has returned to his normal human form and no longer walks with both hands and feet.
The barefoot man clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the man standing in front of him. Then, his body turned slightly, with lotus flowers growing every step of the way, and he stood on the general's head. He nodded again and turned into a stream of light and left.
call out!
After the bald head left, the wolf god who seemed to have received some kind of benefit on the eaves also jumped up and just followed him away. Seeing this, the man in black cloak snorted coldly.
Not long after, everyone in the group left the area and headed to the border army camp.
At the same time, dozens of miles away, the palace deacon Han Cang, who had been rushing for many days, finally arrived at Li Mu's army with a large amount of food and baggage. The group was blocked outside the military camp and was interrogated by the military commander in front of them, Sima.
for a long time.
After all, Han Cang was placed in the military shogunate. Such a view could already show the neglect and contempt of Han Cang by the frontier army. Even so, Han Cang, who was dressed in brocade clothes and noble robes, was not unhappy at all.
The purpose of coming to Li Mu's army this time was because of his fake father's plan. As long as the fake father's plan succeeds, no matter how domineering Li Mu is, he will be just a chess piece in their hands that controls life and death.
The smile can't stop blooming.
Holding the king's letter in hand, he was waiting for Li Mu's reception in the shogunate's military tent. The sky was dark, and the lights were brightly lit in the military camp. The cold air spread inside the military tent. He also stood in the furnace, which was a sign of order.
The weak Han Cang was trembling all over.
"The great deacon came here at night. Could it be that the king has something important to say?"
Li Mu wore his robes loosely, without any armor. He didn't even drink the most common warm kumiss in the army. The generals on both sides looked at Han Cang coldly, looking at the man who was neither male nor female, without any trace of masculinity.
, my heart is really churning.
"The general is joking. This trip to Hancang is just to deliver food, grass and baggage. I have always heard that the general has fought against the Xiongnu and Donghu, and won many great victories. Lord Jianxin admires him, and so does Hancang."
"On the way here, Mr. Jianxin even made some remarks, intentionally suggesting that the king promote the general to the rank of general of the State of Zhao. If he is not a general, I am afraid that no one in the current Zhao State can take on this important task."
Han Cang smiled softly, his soft voice flowing, somewhat like a woman's crispness, not as bold as a man's. She was slow and careful, and bowed to Li Mu with an enchanting gesture of cupping her hands.
General Zhao!
It is the highest position in the army that commands all the soldiers, generals, and even generals of the entire Zhao Kingdom. It is very different from the Qin Kingdom's Lieutenant, but it has real power. For many years, there has been no candidate for a general in the Zhao Kingdom.
"Haha, Li Mu has always been stationed in Yunzhong, and his merits are not obvious. How can he be the general of Zhao State? Besides, General Lian Po is leading the army today, and he must be more qualified than Li Mu."
"Li Mu only wishes to make the border of Zhao State safe and secure!"
General Li Mu has been a general for decades and is much younger than Lian Po. Even so, he is already middle-aged and has a burly figure. Even though his robes are scattered, his bright eyes are still faintly visible.
Sitting at the head of the shogunate's military tent, listening to Han Cang's words, his expression was calm and responsive. Even though he chuckled slightly, he could not hear too many mixed emotions.
"The general's loyalty to the emperor is well known to both the government and the public, and Lord Jianxin admires him greatly. Therefore, he is satisfied with everything the border troops ask for."
"It's just that, as far as Han Cang knows, the border army has always been stationed in Yunzhong and Pingyin. Why is the army now in Pingyi? Could it be that the general did not have the king's order and did not know how to mobilize the troops?"
After coming out of Handan, along the way, the purpose of the trip was dispersed along the way to show that the king and the false father valued Li Mu. Maybe Li Mu would not appreciate it, but they should still do it.
If it doesn't work once, then twice. As long as Li Mu still obeys the king's orders, there will be no worries. However, thinking about where the border troops were stationed at this moment and where General Li Mu appeared, Han Cang said strangely.
"Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun have always been patrol areas for border troops, and Pingyi is also included. What's wrong with the presence of border troops here?"
Li Mu responded softly.
"That's good. I hope the general can clearly remember that Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun are the places where the frontier troops operate. If you don't go down without the king's documents and tiger charms, the general shouldn't put himself in danger."
Han Cang smiled softly, unconsciously mixed with a hint of flattery, which made everyone in the shogunate tent frown even more. It was really shameful for a dignified man to do such an action.
"Is it possible that the great deacon still doesn't know about the war between Qin and Zhao?"
Hearing Han Cang's voice, Li Mu pondered slightly and looked straight at the other party with his shining eyes.
"What are you worried about, General?"
"Everyone in the Zhao Kingdom knows that General Lian Po is good at fighting. He is a first-class general and is good at defense. With the eight natural dangers of Taixing and an army of 120,000 in hand, there is no need to worry.
.”
Han Cang shook his head and didn't say much.
"As far as I know, it is difficult for General Lianpo to defend in front of Jingxingkou. If the border troops do not help him, the Qin army may break through the eight passes of Taixing and enter Handan."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and was about to send troops secretly to take care of General Lian Po who might have trouble. Unexpectedly, Han Cang was welcomed into the army, which was really a big trouble.
"General, there is no need to say more. Han Cang has already said that without the king's documents and the tiger talisman, the frontier army cannot go south with a single horse."
"The national law is like a mountain, and I hope the general will consider it carefully."
Hearing that something might happen to Lian Po, Han Cang was overjoyed. Since last year, the emergence of veteran Lian Po had become a major worry for his father. He refused to obey his father's orders and returned to the command of Prince Jia.
In the army, this man is extremely stubborn. If the Qin State can really win, it would be even better if he can be killed. At that time, the resistance in the entire Zhao State will be very small.
As for Li Mu in front of him, he has the plan of his fake father, and he cannot control everything.
"Even if Zhao's 120,000 troops were besieged by Qin's army, would this be the case?"
Li Mu's expression already showed a trace of anger, and he said coldly.
"General, Hancang is just a palace guard deacon, so how can he go against the general? The law of the country comes first. If the general is willing to lead his troops south to help General Lian Po."
"Please submit the document immediately, and you can make a decision when the order from Handan arrives."
A trace of wry laughter flowed from Han Cang's mouth, and he shook his head deeply, still sticking to his previous words. Wang Ling is in front of him. If Li Mu makes any changes, he will be guilty of a serious crime. If he doesn't move, everything should develop according to God's will.
Fortunately, the false father sent him here this time. Otherwise, Li Mu might actually lead troops to help Lian Po and his men. By then, the situation in Zhao State might be a little different.
"Rocket!"
At the beginning of the morning, in front of Jingxingkou, the Qin army launched another vigorous attack. General Meng Wu stood on the cloud chariot and looked at Guancheng in the distance. Various fortifications had already been built there.
Since he has received the news from Baixingkou, Lian Po should also be able to receive it. Thinking of the news sent by General Baixingkou, Meng Wu sighed in confusion.
It was never expected that Zhenjun Daowu would have such means to destroy the city. The original strategy was to use more than five times the force to suppress Baixingkou quickly, even if it cost a lot.
But Zhenjun Daowu actually used the heavy rain in the sky to draw down the huge force of mud and sand, and forcefully broke through the city. The number of people lost was not even fifty, which was simply negligible.
This alone is a great achievement. Now, I think that Lord Wu Zhen is leading 40,000 Qin cavalry in the hinterland. Lord Wu Zhen has appeared in Zhao State, and he and others cannot fall behind.
We must break through Jingxingkou, attack the State of Zhao, join forces with Lord Wu Zhen, completely massacre Jingcheng, and annihilate the 120,000 troops in Lian Po's hands. His thoughts were flying, and the siege formation in front of him was advancing in an orderly manner.
This time the siege left no stone unturned, with strong bows and crossbows pressing down on three sides, and a five-foot-long flame carrying the power of hot fire oil, covering the entire Guancheng, and even the mountains on both sides.
above the wall.
The mountains and forests were ignited, flames flew across the city, covering everyone's sight in Guancheng. The trench soldiers advanced, the ladders were set up, and the barrels of powerful fire oil were tightly sealed in wooden barrels. This was what Lord Wu Zhen ordered before leaving.
They were piled up in one place and placed in front of the city gate. A large number of trench soldiers suddenly retreated dozens of steps, and torches were thrown straight up. In an instant, through the dry linen cloth, torches were intertwined and ignited.
