"Report, the Chinese army has arrived on the north slope!"
"Report! The rear army has arrived on the south slope!!"
Accompanied by Zhao Qi who were riding war horses, they quickly arrived at Dongpo.
Zhao Cong, wearing a sword and riding a horse, nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
Previously, Zhao Cong was worried that after replacing Li Mu, Li Mu would be resentful, so he would neglect the war and delay military flights, so he let his cronies gradually replace those generals.
"Pass my order, rest where you are, and always be alert to the actions of the Qin army on the other side."
Zhao Cong ordered, and then led five hundred cavalrymen up the slope. After reaching the top of the slope, they headed towards the Zhishui River.
He didn't stop until he reached the Zhishui River several hundred steps away.
Looking at the mighty Qin army on the other side of the river, a trace of anger flashed in Zhao Cong's eyes.
Li Mu despised him.
When he disobeyed King Zhao's edict, the excuse was that Jingxing could not live without Li Mu, which was tantamount to nakedly saying that he 'can't do it'.
Now the Qin army must have received detailed information from the army that Li Mu had been transferred, so the entire army arrived at Jingxing.
They were all generals, and he had always looked down on others. Now when he came to Jingxing, Li Mu insulted him before him, and Qin general Wang Jian despised him later.
People still have a certain amount of anger.
Today, Zhao Cong wants to let the Qin army on the opposite side see that it is he, Zhao Cong, who is east of the river control.
If you have the guts, attack here!
"General, be careful!!"
"General, be careful!"
The cronies beside Zhao Cong suddenly saw on the other side of the river, in the Qin Army camp in the distance, the Qin Army cavalry rushed out of the camp with great momentum and rushed towards the Zhishui River, and they all exclaimed.
However, when Zhao Cong saw this, he was not worried at all.
After a while.
When he saw the Qin army arriving to control the water and the horses starting to cross the river, Zhao Cong narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Dong dong dong~~~!!
However, just as the war horses were slowly advancing in the shallow waters of the Zhishui River, the sound of drums suddenly sounded in the Qin camp in the distance. Zhao Cong, a general of the Zhao State, immediately heard that this was the sound of the Qin State camp.
The sound of troops withdrawing.
Looking at the other side of the Zishui River, the Qin army's cavalry, whether on the bank or in the river, all stopped and looked at each other.
Zhao Cong asked his subordinates to step aside and took a few steps forward on horseback.
However, just when Zhao Cong thought that he was provoking the Qin army at this moment, the Qin army was helpless against him.
Suddenly countless shouts began to sound from the other side of the river.
"General Bai has something to say, Zhao Cong is useless and not as good as Li Mu!"
"Zhao Cong is a waste, not as good as Li Mu! Zhao Cong is a waste, not as good as Li Mu!!"
Thousands of cavalry soldiers shouted loudly from the other side of the river, and their voices kept coming.
When the sound is uniform and resounds throughout the sky.
Zhao Cong, who was riding a war horse, his face turned green and white, and his hand holding the horse's rope was tightened.
The cavalry behind Zhao Cong also looked at each other in confusion at this moment. They did not expect that the Qin army would be so shameless and blatantly sow discord.
Among the hundreds of cavalry, Zhao Cong's trusted generals rode to Zhao Cong's side.
"General, the Qin army deliberately sows discord in an attempt to anger the general. The general must not fall into the trap!"
Zuo Qing, the general, raised his hands to Zhao Cong and said.
"I will know!"
Zhao Cong said softly, his face full of gloom.
How could Zhao Cong not know that the opponent was deliberately irritating him, trying to make him lose his mind and give up the advantage of the terrain to charge with the Qin army?
But I don't know why.
Even though Zhao Cong knew that this was a treacherous plot by the Qin army, when he heard all the Qin soldiers on the other side of the river saying that he was a waste and inferior to Li Mu, Zhao Cong couldn't help but think of Li Mu's actions.
"Pass my order, if anyone in the army dares to criticize him, he will be killed!"
Zhao Cong looked gloomy and turned around on his horse. Thinking that the soldiers in the army would also hear these shouts, he ordered softly.
On the way back, Zhao Cong walked slowly under the gaze of all his cronies, and listened to the ridicule of the Qin army on the other side of the river. At this moment, Zhao Cong felt extremely angry in his heart.
Bai Yan!
Qin General Bai Yan!!
Descendants of the Bai family!
Zhao Cong, who belongs to the Gongsun royal family, has seen the Bai Qi of the past since he was a child, making the whole city of Zhao Kingdom Bai Lingsu.
I already had a deep hatred for the Bai family, and now I was so humiliated by the Bai family's children.
Zhao Cong swore an oath.
In the future, Bai Yan must be cooked alive and distributed to the Zhao people for food.
However, what surprised Zhao Cong was.
The Qin army, which had arrived in a hurry, suddenly retreated two days later without any warning. The cavalry had clearly looked ready to fight at any time. An hour later, news of the Qin army's withdrawal came.
"Report!!"
In the Zhao army's camp, a Zhao soldier who was all wet came to the commander's tent and handed a cloth note written in blood to Zhao Cong.
The Qin army bribed the people in the Zhao army to do fine work, and Zhao Cong naturally would not wait around, so he would naturally find a way to bribe the Qin soldiers.
After the Qin army retreated, the bribed Xizuo wrote the events of the Qin army in blood on a piece of cloth under a special tree root.
Inside the tent.
Zhao Cong finished the cloth and slowly opened it.
The contents of the banner told Zhao Cong that he had heard rumors among the Qin army that Wang Jian and Bai Yan had disagreements and had a loud quarrel in the camp. Many people saw that many other Qin generals did not dare to enter, and others
Rumor has it that Bai Yan often mocked the general's uselessness in private, and Jingxing was easily available, while Wang Jian was timid and delayed the opportunity to fight.
After reading the content, Zhao Cong put away the cloth, closed his eyes, and calmed down his emotions.
"Send my order and the whole army is on alert!"
After Zhao Cong opened his eyes, he ordered.
Jingxing South Road.
In the vast and endless Zhao Jun camp, Yan gathered in the commander's tent. After seeing the secret message, he quickly stood up, turned to look at Li Mu, and informed Li Mu of what happened on Jingxing North Road.
Li Mu listened to Yan Ju's words and looked at the hanging map.
"Wu An Jun, what is the plan of the Qin army? They mobilized troops to go to the North Road, only to retreat two days later. The purpose is to drive a wedge between Wu An Jun and Zhao Cong?"
Sima Shang stood beside Li Mu and asked with a frown.
Looking at the map in front of him, Sima Shang was also extremely confused by the actions of the Qin army at this moment. You must know that Jingxing is a natural enemy, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Wang Jian knew this, so why did he suddenly send troops.
Inside the tent.
Just as Sima Shang finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the camp, and a Zhao soldier suddenly came in with two officials and four eunuchs.
"Wu Anjun!"
After the two officials and four eunuchs entered the camp, they briefly saluted Lord Wu'an and took a copy of the imperial edict.
"My king has an order, ordering Lord Wu'an to return to Handan immediately. Sima Shang has disobeyed the king's order before, and he should be punished for his crime. Considering his previous meritorious service to Zhao State, he will be spared his life and demoted to a commoner!"
After reading the edict, the four eunuchs stepped forward in small steps. Under Sima Shang's fearful eyes, they took off the crown from Sima Shang's head and took off their armor.
Li Mu looked at this scene with a flash of sadness in his eyes.
There is already a villain causing trouble in the Zhao court!
"Two adults, please go back and report to the king. The Qin army is eyeing Jingxing. If Qin does not retreat, Li Mu will not be able to return to Handan to resume his life!"
Li Mu turned to look at the map and said softly.
Although the intention of Qin Jun's actions is still unclear, something big will happen next. At this time, Li Mu must not return to Handan.
Even afterward, King Zhao blamed him.
"Jun Wu An, this is the fifth edict. Are you still stubborn and disobeying me?"
The two officials frowned and asked after hearing Li Mu's words.
The other four eunuchs had just dared to take off Sima Shang's crown and armor, but now, none of them dared to step forward to Li Mu, who was disabled and unable to lift chopsticks.
If it hurts Li Mu even half a hair.
No one like them can even think of leaving this Zhao camp!
"When King Xiaocheng was alive, he knew that Li Mu was stubborn by nature, so I bothered you two to go back and report to the king. After retreating from Qin this time, Li Mu will still be handled by the king!"
Li Mu replied with a smile.
When he was young, he was at the border and disobeyed King Xiaocheng's orders. Now that he is old, he can't even hold chopsticks with one hand.
He is no longer afraid of death.
I just hope it’s best to die on the battlefield!
Inside the tent.
Looking at Li Mu, the two Zhao officials and four eunuchs all looked embarrassed at this moment.
Li Mu's disobedience meant that the trip of the six of them was in vain, and they would definitely be blamed by King Zhao when they returned to Handan.
But for Li Mu, the six of them were helpless.
Li Mu disobeyed orders again and again, and King Zhao did not dare to relinquish Li Mu's title and title, let alone the six of them.
After a while.
As the six people left the camp, Yan Ju looked at Li Mu.
"If Lord Wu'an doesn't return to Handan, there are natural dangers here in Jingxing. No matter how hard the Qin army attacks, it will be in vain!"
Yan Ju looked at Li Mu and couldn't help but persuade him.
If Li Mu hadn't been a veteran of three dynasties with great military exploits, he had single-handedly led Zhao Bianqi and Daibei's army and resisted orders like this, he would have been dismissed from office long ago.
"I have seen the Qin general Bai Yan, who is polite and courteous, and I have even fought with him. It is very clear to me that his talent is so provocative that the North Road's provocative move to control the water river must have an agenda!"
Li Mu looked at the map.
Something went wrong, and Li Mu's mind flashed back to the young Qin general he had met that day by the Zhangshui River.
Recalling the scenes from the past, Li Mu was convinced that there must be a conspiracy behind Bai Yan's actions.
Under such circumstances, Li Mu did not dare to leave Jingxing easily.
The best ingredients use the simplest cooking methods, and the best cooking methods are often simpler and more effective.
Li Mu's habit of disobeying the king's orders can be traced back to the period of King Zhao Xiaocheng, who was Zhao Wangqian's grandfather!
