Chapter 233 The method of the Soldier Immortal in later generations.
"What, Qin Qi came back to aid Yanyu!"
Upstream by the Zhangshui River, in Zhao Jun's camp, Li Mu looked at Sima Shang in shock. He was a little suspicious of his ears.
It’s not just Li Mu.
The other Zhao generals were all stunned on the spot at this moment, their eyes full of disbelief.
"How is it possible? How could the Qin Cavalry army suddenly come back to aid Yanyu!"
"That is, the Qin Cavalry had just fought with our army on the banks of the Zhangshui River. Could it be that just after the battle, the Qin Cavalry returned to Yanyu?"
In the discussion of a general named Zhao Guo.
No one understood why the Qin army's cavalry suddenly returned to Yanyu.
It doesn’t make sense!
How could the commander-in-chief of the Qin army guess that Lord Wu An had ordered General Sima Shang to lead the army through the dry streams and mountains in such a short period of time?
This is absolutely impossible! If they hadn't been from Zhao, and if they hadn't seen Lord Wu An's order with their own eyes, they might not have thought of the river, let alone the Qin people. In such a short period of time.
Inside the tent.
Listening to the generals' discussion, Li Mu frowned.
At this time, Li Mu's mind flashed to the young General Qin he had seen with his own eyes that day.
Thinking of the way General Qin held his hand in front of him, Li Mu knew that he had underestimated General Qin at that time.
That's what happened.
With Wang Jian's stability, the Qin army should arrive here soon.
Think of this.
"Send my order and the entire army will return to Jingxing!"
Li Mu turned to look at the Zhao generals and gave an order.
It was a pity to miss the opportunity, but he could still rely on Jingxing Pass to stop the Qin army.
Even if Wang Jian led the troops in person, it would never be possible for him to capture Jingxing Pass.
"promise!"
"promise!!!"
Upon hearing Li Mu's order, Sima Shang, Yi Fang, Hui Pu and other generals from Zhao accepted the order, then turned and left.
Late April.
In hot weather, it is obviously the time for farming, but the people farming in the fields have to face the situation of having no land to farm.
The land is dry and cracked, and there is no water to support the fields. Countless people think of the old and young at home, their withered and yellow hands, and they keep wiping the corners of their eyes that are crying, while they continue to dig sand and soil in the fields.
Yan and the city.
Bai Yan, who was wearing commoner clothes, was sitting on his knees in the study room of the mansion, looking at the bamboo slips.
A young woman came to Bai Yan with tea and poured a pot of tea for Bai Yan.
In front of Bai Yan, three plates of wild fruits were placed quietly on the wooden table.
"General! The bamboo slips sent by General Wang Jian!"
A Qin soldier came to the study, gave the bamboo slips to Bai Yan, and then left.
Bai Yan opened the bamboo slip and looked at the content on it.
Three days have passed since Yan fought with him.
On the day Wang Jian arrived at Yanyu, he led his army towards Jingxing because he was worried about Sima Shang and Li Mu joining together.
Because Bai Yan's cavalry had just experienced a big battle and needed to rest and recuperate, they stayed in Yanyu.
the most important is.
Wang Jian was worried about the logistics of food and fodder. Facing Zhao Bianqi, without cavalry, it would be very dangerous for the food and fodder to be sent to Jingxing.
"Zhao Jun retreated as expected!"
Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips and spoke in detail. General Wang Jian led his army to meet up with Wang Ben's 30,000-strong army by the Zhangshui River. However, Zhao Jun Sima Shang and Li Mu, at some unknown time, had left the Zhangshui River and retreated to Jingxing Pass.
.
"Jingxingguan!"
Bai Yan whispered this familiar name, took the bamboo slip, stood up slowly, left the wooden table, and walked past the young maid.
Come to the cloth map hanging in the study.
Bai Yan, who was dressed in cloth, looked at the position of Jingxing on the map.
According to the information previously received, there are two roads in Jingxing, Jingxing North Road and Jingxing South Road.
The road to the south is difficult and dangerous, and there are many places where ambushes can easily be set up along the way. If you pass by rashly, you may easily be ambushed.
The terrain of the North Road is relatively gentle and suitable for marching, but when leaving the mountains, you still have to face the Shuiji River, and there is a dead place on the other side of the river.
Both roads are inherently dangerous and difficult to overcome.
However, in my memory, there was a man known as the "Soldier Immortal" in later generations, who fought a famous battle after crossing the Zhishui River in Beidao.
Think of this.
Bai Yan picked up the bamboo slip again and looked at the contents, confirming that General Wang Jian was also taking the northern route.
"North Road!"
Bai Yan looked at the map.
Because he didn't know whether it was Li Mu or Sima Shang who was guarding the other side of the Zhishui River, Bai Yan finally thought about it and did not write down the method used by the soldier immortal in later generations and sent it to Wang Jian.
After all, that method requires many conditions, and what's more important is that facing Zhao Bianqi and Dai Bei's army, they are far from being a large army that has been hastily pulled out by later generations and has not been trained on war horses.
The method of the 'Soldier Immortal' is really too dangerous.
But if you think about it from another perspective, the soldiers under his command now far exceed that of the 'Soldier Immortal' in terms of morale and elite level.
Although the probability of success is extremely low, if there is really no way, it does not mean that there is no chance to try at the last moment.
"The premise is to find a way to get Li Mu to go to the South Road! Let Sima Shang stay on the North Road!"
Bai Yan looked at the map and murmured softly, then looked at the map with a thoughtful look on his face.
Zhao Bianqi and Dai Beijun were both elites led by Li Mu. Whether it was Dai Beijun or Zhao Bianqi, no one could match their trust and love for Li Mu.
If one day he really had to cross the river from the North Road, then Li Mu would definitely not be on the other side of the river.
"It's a pity that my status in the king's heart is not high enough, otherwise we would know whether the king would use a divorce plan."
Bai Yan shook his head, remembering the bamboo slips he wrote to Xianyang, which contained a divorce plan.
Unfortunately.
His title or status is still too low. If he can become an important minister like Wang Jian and Yao Jia, the king will definitely restore him when he sees the bamboo slips.
Even if he is now in Zhao State.
"General!"
Chai walked in from outside the study at this time.
Bai Yan turned his head and saw that Chai's face looked a little bad, so he put away the bamboo slips.
"General, it is already roughly clear that among the people in Yan and the city, due to successive years of drought, there are less than 110 people who have food left."
Chai said to Bai Yan.
And his words made Bai Yan's expression change.
Bai Yan knew that the people of Zhao State were miserable, but he still didn't expect it to be so miserable. There were less than one hundred people who had food in their homes.
Thinking that behind this number, countless people were without food, Bai Yan felt a little panicked.
It seems that due to years of drought, countless people in Zhao State have starved to death.
I think of my father, mother, and grandmother as common people.
I remember what they looked like.
Bai Yan closed his eyes and tried hard to think of any way to save the people of Zhao State.
"General, do you want to take out the money first?"
Chai looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.
Bai Yan opened his eyes and shook his head.
"Those are soldiers and are not allowed to move under any circumstances."
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the wooden table. He once again took a scroll of bamboo slips that had not been written on, slowly unfolded it, picked up the pen and ink, and started writing.
At present, the people of Zhao State have to face two difficulties. The first is the lack of food, and the second is the need to build water conservancy projects.
Bai Yan wanted to write to Xianyang.
Although Bai Yan didn't know whether his bamboo slips would work or not.
But no matter what, we must give it a try. War is war, and people are people.
However, unlike other wise ministers who have gone down in history, Bai Yan did not start from the perspective of public justice in the bamboo slips, but thought of the king's expectation for the unification of the world, from the three aspects of Zhao people being brave, weakening Zhao, and conducive to unification.
