"So, I have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for this opportunity." Li Mu said and stood up.
"Am I very embarrassed these days?" Li Mu came to the basin. In it was the water he was supposed to use to wash himself. However, the water in the basin was too clear, and Li Mu's expression was too tired.
"The general is saying that if we withdraw our troops at this time, Huan Jue will definitely come to pursue us, and our army can take the opportunity to eat Huan Jue and the 50,000 Qin troops under his command?" Sima Shang hesitated.
"Yes, my embarrassment is Huanjue's confidence." Li Mu said and put his hand into the basin. He had not washed his face for three days.
"At this time, Huanjue will believe my embarrassment and will give up his last trace of worry. As long as I leave, he will definitely come after me." Li Mu said as he poured some water on his face, feeling his whole body shaken.
He has been looking forward to this state for a long time.
While Li Mu was talking about Huan Jue, he was also observing his opponent in the Qin army camp.
"King Zhao has already issued seven edicts. Ling'er, how long do you think Li Mu can hold on?" Huan Ye looked at the intelligence report in his hand.
"Eight at most, Zhao Wangyan's endurance is limited." Bai Ling said.
"Li Mu is indeed a strong enemy. Before this, who would have thought that there would be a general in Zhao who could rival Lian Po. The prosperity of Zhao's martial arts is not inferior to that of Qin," Huan Jue said.
These days, Huan Ye was able to guess Li Mu's thoughts, so in the face of Li Mu's provocation, he chose not to stand.
Huan Yan knew very well that if he and Li Mu were to change positions, he would also choose Li Mu's approach. This is the wisdom and courage that a famous general should possess.
"It's a pity that King Zhao is too stupid. Compared with the king, the difference is too far. It's so terrible." Bai Ling said with a smile.
"You are too stupid, so stupid that you don't realize it." Huan Jue said.
"However, the more Li Mu cannot hold on, the more likely he is to give it a try. At this time, the more we must stay calm," Huan Jue said.
"Exactly." Bai Ling said.
At this moment, a man in plain clothes came into the tent led by a bodyguard beside Huan Jue.
"General, I just intercepted a Zhao Jun spy. After interrogation, it seems that he came from Yanmen County." The visitor reported.
"We are here from Yanmen County. Could it be that Li Mu has already received news from Yanmen County?" Huanjue asked in horror.
His judgment of Li Mu was all based on the fact that Li Mu did not know the specific situation of Yanmen County. Only if Yanmen County had not fallen could Li Mu disobey Zhao Wangyan's military orders and look for opportunities to counterattack the Qin army.
Once Li Mu knows that Yanmen County has fallen into the hands of Qin, his persistence will be meaningless, and he will retreat as quickly as possible. By then...
Huanjue didn't dare to think about it any more.
"Send the order, raise the troops and prepare for war." Huan Jue walked out of the military camp.
Once Li Mu gets the news that Yanmen County has fallen into the hands of Qin, he will definitely withdraw his troops. Allowing Li Mu to safely withdraw to the capital of Zhao will be a huge failure for the Qin army.
After passing through Bai Ling, Huan Jue knew very well that the biggest purpose of Ying Zheng's expedition against Zhao was Li Mu and his Zhao Jun side cavalry. If Li Mu and his Zhao Jun side cavalry were allowed to safely retreat to the capital of Zhao, then even if the Qin State
Obtaining Yanmen County was also a failure.
No matter what, I can't let Li Mu return to Zhaodu safely. I must block him here and hold on until the day when the main force joins me. Huan Jue looked at the military camp in front of him.
While Huan Jue was gathering his troops, Zhao Jun's camp in the distance also began to pack up the camp and prepare to withdraw.
"Report, general, the Zhao army is gathering troops and dismantling camps, and seems to be withdrawing." In less than a moment, another scout had already reported back the latest military information.
"Li Mu really wants to escape." Huan Yan couldn't help but strengthen his judgment.
I must take the initiative to slow down the Zhao army's withdrawal. Huan Jue thought in his heart.
In this way, on the vast plains in the hinterland of Zhao State, a drama of infantry chasing cavalry was staged.
Two days later, in a wilderness in the hinterland of Zhao State.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong." As the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, Huan Jue dismounted his horse, squatted on the ground, and pressed his hands against the ground.
"General, is there anything wrong?" Bai Ling, who was wearing armor, asked.
"There's something wrong with this piece of land. Don't move. Bai Ling, follow me and go take a look." Huan Jue stood up and said, but at this time, his face had become quite ugly.
"Yes." Bai Ling also saw the serious nature of the situation from Huan Jue's expression at this time. He stopped talking and followed Huan Jue closely.
The two men quickly came from the central army to the front army, but Huan Jue had no intention of stopping and continued to move forward until they had passed the front army and walked nearly a mile away before he turned over and dismounted.
Still doing the same action just now, he squatted to the ground and pressed his hand against the ground. This time he took out the sword from his waist and thrust it towards the ground until it was deeply buried in the soil.
"Grandpa Huan, is there anything wrong?" Bai Ling asked vaguely.
"Not sure, let's go a little further," Huanjue said.
"Yes." Bai Ling said.
In this way, the two people walked forward for a mile.
Here Huanjue thrust the sword he had always regarded as a friend into the ground.
"The matter is a bit serious." Huan Yan said solemnly.
"Grandpa Huan, what exactly did you find?" Bai Ling asked.
"The Zhao army in front of us has divided its troops." Huanjue said.
"Grandpa Huan, how do you make such a judgment?" Bai Ling asked confused.
Can you tell how Zhao's army is divided just by looking at the ground? Such knowledge is obviously beyond Bai Ling's knowledge at this time.
"This road was trampled by Zhao Jun's horses not long ago. The ground that has been trampled by 70,000 cavalry is extremely hard. However, the ground here has not reached the hardness that has been trampled by 70,000 cavalry."
Huan Jue said.
"Hardness?" Bai Ling looked at the ground. On the ground, horse hoof prints and ruts were still very clear, but...
"Could it be that Zhao Jun's horizontal line became wider and the column became shorter, causing the hardness of the ground to change?" Bai Ling asked hesitantly.
"Zhao Jun's line has not widened." Huan Jue looked in the direction to his side and said.
"Why is Zhao Jun dividing his troops at this time?" Bai Ling asked puzzledly.
"Li Mu, what a Li Mu, this is to lead our army deep into Zhao territory, and then he will surround us from unexpected places and then annihilate us." Huan Jue thought of a possibility at this time.
Li Mu and the Zhao Jun side cavalry under his command divided their troops without their knowledge. If he had been chasing the Zhao army in front, once special terrain appeared, those Zhao Jun side cavalry who had been separated would return from him.
Breaking out from unexpected places...
Huan Jue couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Using foot against cavalry, once the heavily armored formation is caught off guard and dispersed by the Zhao army's side cavalry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
