Since the military reform of King Wuling of Zhao, Hu Fu cavalry and archery, the defeat of Lin Hu, and the invasion of Lou Fan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun were established in the north. The most famous of them is Yanmen, which was the location of Yanmen Pass in later generations.
Its terrain is steep, so it became the gateway to the northern border of Zhao State.
Li Mu was ordered to station here all year round to prevent the wolf tribe from the north from raiding southward and to monitor the Yan Kingdom.
Speaking of which, the recent conflict between Zhao and Yan can be traced back to the Battle of Changping.
In the Battle of Changping that year, Qin State defeated Zhao State. Bai Qikeng killed an entire generation of Zhao State. Since then, Zhao State's young and middle-aged people have been almost extinct, and the national power has been unprecedentedly weak. But at this critical juncture, Yan State directly sent a large army to assassinate Zhao State.
He invaded the State of Zhao and tried to take advantage, but was beaten mercilessly by the State of Zhao.
Zhao Guo, who was simmering with anger at that time, went crazy and attacked, and directly fought to cede territory and seek peace.
I didn't get any benefits, and I even got a lot of trouble.
From then on, Zhao Guo never gave Yan Guo a good look. He would always try to pick on Yan Guo, and the opponent he beat almost called him dad. If Yan Guo hadn't recognized Qin Guo as his "godfather", Zhao Guo might have killed Qin Guo in one fell swoop.
It is not impossible for the Yan State to be destroyed.
…
In the night sky, there are few stars and moon.
On the hillside.
Da Siming, who was wearing a slim cheongsam-style dress, was looking at the military camp below. Her graceful and graceful figure looked particularly charming under the moonlight. Her cold eyes flashed with cold light as she looked at the military camp below. She lowered her head and looked at the military camp below.
He said to himself: "It is rumored that Li Mu of Zhao State is very good at military formations and is a master of military formations. Now it seems that this statement is true."
The Yin Yang School is a sect that splintered from Taoism. Although it does not conform to Taoist ideals, it still has similarities in some aspects.
For example, formation.
However, due to the limitation of the number of people, most Taoist formations involve the cooperation of several people, such as the Three Talents Formation and so on.
Hundreds of schools of thought are basically involved in the study of formations, such as Nong Jia’s Dize 24. But when it comes to the research and use of formations, military strategists are the well-deserved number one.
The current layout of Li Mu's military camp is arranged in the form of a formation. It seems quiet, but in fact it is full of dangers. If an unsuspecting person breaks in, the end will definitely not be good.
Da Siming pondered for a while and took out the token given to her by Zhao Jia from her waist. Originally, she planned to sneak in secretly. If she didn't have this token now, if she rushed in, she would most likely be regarded as an assassin and cause a big fuss.
If there was any movement, they would even be killed on the spot.
She has confidence in her own strength, but this does not mean that she has the confidence to break into the military camp.
As for Da Siming’s tried and tested illusion technique.
The military camp is not like other places. Suddenly there is an extra person, and it is easy to distinguish. Especially when patrolling at night, the slightest disturbance will be infinitely magnified.
What's more, the current layout of the military camp is like a large upside-down bowl.
It's easy to get in, but definitely not easy to get out.
"Send someone to send this thing and this letter in, and say it was sent by General Li Mu's old friend."
Da Siming pondered for a while, glanced sideways behind him with his beautiful eyes, and said lightly.
She was not stupid, so how could she go in personally? If Li Mu had a bad relationship with Zhao Jia, wouldn't it be like throwing herself into a trap by going in? In contrast, it would be better to let the trap be done.
As she spoke, she handed over an unsigned secret letter and a jade pendant.
The several snare killers standing behind Da Siming heard this, looked at each other silently, and then one of them stepped forward to take it.
Who made them the killers of the net, specializing in such dirty work?
…
…
In the main tent in the center of the military camp, oil lamps emitted a bright halo.
aside.
There is a figure who is concentrating on carving words on the bamboo slips. The man is not young, his temples have turned white, and his face is full of wrinkles, almost dark yellow, full of traces of being beaten by wind and frost, but his eyes are extremely
It is bright and sharp, and it is extremely focused when doing things. The only sound is the sound of the carving knife scratching on the bamboo slips.
The clothes he was wearing were made of linen and looked extremely old.
This person is the commander-in-chief of this military camp, Li Mu.
At this moment, the camp tent was opened, and a burly middle-aged man strode into it. Looking at Li Mu who was carving words, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "Brother, forget it.
Well, it’s not like you don’t know the situation of our northern army. We have always been self-sufficient. Even in times of disaster, we tighten our belts and fight hard.
It’s a good thing that those people in the DPRK don’t ask us for food or money. Do you still expect them to provide us with food, grass and luggage?”
The person who came was Yang Biao, the second-in-command in the army and Li Mu's general.
He and Li Mu have known each other for nearly twenty years, and they have a life-long friendship.
Li Mu slowly raised his head and looked at the person who came, his expression did not change much, and he said in a dull voice: "You have to try, Daijun has been self-sufficient these years, but it cannot continue like this. You also know the situation of the brothers.
Many people never received military pay until they died. In the past few years, it was because of the Battle of Changping that the Zhao State could not get it. Now they have finally recovered a little... I have to give an explanation to the dead brothers."
"Oh, brothers, we are not fighting for those in the court."
Yang Biao curled his lips and said rather disdainfully, most of them are Zhao people in the north, and they have a blood feud with the Hu people in the north. The so-called war is more to protect themselves. As for the people in Handan
Those powerful people have little to do with them.
After all, Zhao Guo has not given them any funding in recent years.
This can be seen from the weapons and armor of the soldiers.
To use a bad word to describe it, these Daijun troops are all stepmothers.
“Got to try.”
Li Mu was obviously not a person who was easily persuaded. He replied, lowered his head and continued carving.
‘Donkey temper’
Yang Biao complained in his heart. He wanted to have a drink with Li Mu, but he couldn't do it now. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent. A moment later, a soldier wearing armor broke in.
When I came in, I almost bumped into Yang Biao.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? Could it be that the barbarians are coming to kill you?!"
"Well? I have met the general!"
When the visitor saw Yang Biao, he quickly raised his hands and saluted, and then explained: "He is not a barbarian, but a messenger. When the scout was patrolling, he found an outsider. The other person claimed that he was sending a message to the general's old friend, and he brought a token!"
While talking, he took out a letter and a jade pendant.
"?!"
Yang Biao was stunned and couldn't help but look at Li Mu. He didn't remember any old friends in Li Mu.
The other party is not married at this age and is an elderly single like him.
Could it be that the other party found an old sweetheart in Handan behind his back?
Li Mu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the jade pendant in an instant. A flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly, strode over, took the jade pendant and the letter from the soldier, and looked at it carefully.
'It's really him'
Li Mu was a little surprised. The jade pendant in his hand could not be fake. It was Zhao Jia's personal jade pendant.
The other party actually sent a messenger to find him.
Didn’t Zhao Jia go to Qin as a hostage?
He pondered for a little while.
Li Mu opened the letter in his hand and began to read it. After just one glance, his face instantly became solemn because the content on it was a bit special.
