Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Serve me!" Zhao Kuo slapped the captain of the guard on the ground, and said with a snort, "The whole army will rest on the spot and continue to set off tomorrow!"

"Departure?!" The captain of the personal guard looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.

The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sinister smile: "This King Chu of Qin thought that he would be done with fleeing to Sichuan? Hey, this general is not someone who gives up so easily."

Chapter 981 "Surprise" for Li Mu (first update)

Six days later, Li Mu arrived at Nanzheng City with his 15 troops.

"Where's Zhao Kuo?" When Li Mu saw the empty Nanzheng City and the five hundred Lords of the Zhao Army in front of him, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

You must know that at the very beginning, Li Mu gave Zhao Kuo the task of taking Hanzhong. From the current situation, it is obvious that Zhao Kuo has done this very well, taking Nanzheng, the prefecture of Hanzhong. down.

That is to say, Zhao Kuo has now successfully completed the task assigned to him by Li Mu, and should appear in front of Li Mu to receive the reward.

But Zhao Kuo was not there.

The Five Hundred Lord standing in front of Li Mu looked quite nervous, and said with some anxiety: "Governor, it's like this. General Zhao Kuo learned that after the Qin army retreated to the south, he had already led a large force to the south. Go down and pursue the Qin army."

"Chasing the Qin army?" Li Mu opened his mouth slightly, shook his head after a while, and complained a little speechlessly: "It's just nonsense!"

Zhao Kuo didn't know the number of Qin's army, but Li Mu knew it very well.

Hu Yiwei has taken root in Qin State for many years under the cover of Lu Buwei. Although Hu Yiwei was severely hit by the death of the leader of the Xianyang branch not long ago, some people still escaped and succeeded. During this war, he took advantage of the chaos and made contact with Zhao Guo again.

It is precisely because of this that there are actually Hu Yiwei spies in the Qin army today.

But in the chaotic situation of the people of Qin now, it is much easier than before for Hu Yiwei, who is mixed in, to pass on some information.

Therefore, even though he had just arrived in Nanzheng City, Li Mu had already learned how many people Qin Wangchu had taken away when he was completely in a state of embarrassment through the information that Hu Yiwei had stayed here in advance.

It's not just the 5 people that Zhao Kuo knew, but the 8 people after the entire Nanzheng and even most of Hanzhong's strong men were forcibly recruited!

Although the combat effectiveness of these 8 people is actually quite doubtful, considering the fact that the Qin army only needs to defend the pass, it is quite difficult for the [-] Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo to be outnumbered and win.

Fortunately, at the next moment, Li Mu was a little relieved by the words of the five hundred masters of Zhao Jun.

"Governor, in fact, General Zhao Kuo is not walking the Golden Bull Road, but the Rice Cang Road."

"Micang Road?" Li Mu was stunned again.

At this time, there are generally two routes from Hanzhong to Shu.

The first one is the Jinniu Road. This road was expanded several times before and after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Shu. It is now the most important traffic artery between Bashu and Hanzhong. one of the main channels.

In addition, on the southernmost side of Jinniu Road is the famous Bashu Xiongguan Jiamengguan.

As long as the people of Qin guard the Jiameng Pass, no matter how powerful the Zhao army is, unless they can grow wings, they will definitely not be able to pass through here.

This passage is also the closest to Nanzheng City, so you don't need to think about it. If the people of Qin retreat towards Nanzheng, they must retreat along the Jinniu Road.

Because of this, when Li Mu heard the news that Zhao Kuo was chasing Qin Jun, he subconsciously thought that Zhao Kuo was heading for Jinniu Road.

Actually not.

In addition to Jinniu Road, there is also a narrow path leading from the southeast of Hanzhong to the northeast of Bashu. This path is Mi Cang Road.

This Micang Road is the same as the Meridian Road that Zhao Kuo just passed. It is a very steep and difficult road that is not suitable for the passage of the army.

Li Mu was a little speechless after thinking about this.

Is this Zhao Kuo really addicted to walking these small roads? You must know that if you don't walk well on such small roads, you will really die.

Li Mu sent away five hundred masters.

Pang Nuan on the side suddenly interjected and said, "Governor, in fact, I thought General Zhao Kuo's move was a brilliant move. When he set off, the Qin army had just retreated into the Jinniu Road. The exit of Dao and Micang Road is hundreds of miles away, so General Zhao Kuo has enough time to cross Micang Road and enter Bashu. With the ability of General Zhao Kuo and the strength of his five thousand elites, as long as he can enter Bashu Among them, then maybe we can cooperate with the army inside and outside to break through Jiameng pass together."

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, and said: "I hope so, but even so, I still want to punish him for the crime of disobeying the military order."

According to Li Mu's previous order, Zhao Kuo should be in Nanzheng City now, instead of running to some kind of Mi Cang Road to climb mountains and ridges.

Pang Nuan smiled and said: "Young people are eager to make contributions, which is understandable. Besides, General Zhao Kuo was able to take down the entire Hanzhong, which was beyond the general's expectations, right? With this credit, he should be able to win Atonement."

The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that Pang Nuan was deliberately trying to excuse Zhao Kuo.

But this is also a very normal thing. After all, Pang Nuan belongs to the Gongzu faction in Zhao Guozhong, and Zhao Kuo’s father, Zhao She, was also one of the giants of the Gongzu faction. The gold combination has been firmly suppressed for several years.

The current Zhao Kuo is the target of the Gongzu faction, and is also regarded by many people in Zhao Guozhong as the candidate for the future Zhao Guolong's important minister, so Pang Nuan naturally wants to protect him.

Li Mu's eyes turned slightly, and a cold light flashed in the deepest part of his eyes.

It seemed that Li Mu didn't intend to continue entangled in this matter, so he said to Pang Nuan: "Since this is the case, then I think our army should not stay too much in Nanzheng City, but should continue to pursue south People from Qin, I wonder what Pang Qing thinks?"

Pang Nuan said with a full smile: "The governor is right. Since the people of Qin fled south in a hurry when they heard that the governor was coming, they should go south and attack Bashu in one go. In this way, the whole Qin country will be under the rule of the king. I can go back soon to report to the king. To tell the truth, the weather in Hanzhong is extremely hot, and I feel quite uncomfortable after only staying here for a few days. It is really weird."

What Pang Nuan didn’t know was that in later generations of Chinese geography, the Qinling-Huaihe River line was usually used as the dividing line between north and south of China. Therefore, although Guanzhong and Hanzhong belonged to Shaanxi Province in later generations, Guanzhong, which is located north of Qinling Mountains, belonged to northern China. Hanzhong, which is located south of the Qinling Mountains, belongs to the south of China. The difference between the north and the south is very different in terms of climate and in all aspects. Therefore, Pang Nuan, who has become accustomed to the northern climate of Zhao State, is naturally a little uncomfortable here. .

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, then go south as soon as possible, try to break through Jiameng Pass as soon as possible, and enter the land of Bashu to destroy Qin."

Chapter 982 Bashu Defense Line (Second Update)

Jiameng Pass.

This pass connects Jinniu Road, the most important traffic artery for diplomatic exchanges between central Sichuan and Sichuan. It is located at the junction of Jialing River and Bailong River. Location is very important.

Some people describe Jiamengguan as "the peaks connect to the jade base, the ground connects to Jincheng, the sword pavilion leads to Jiameng, the Jialing lies to the white water, it is a hero created by nature."

Wei Liao led the main force of the [-] Qin army and was stationed here at this moment, waiting for the arrival of the Zhao people.

Qin Wangchu stood here with a dignified face, patted Wei Liao on the shoulder vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "General Wei Liao, the life and death of the widow and the entire Great Qin are all in your hands!"

Hearing Qin Wangchu's words, Wei Liao's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely guard this place to prevent Zhao Jun's soldiers from passing through!"

After boosting the morale, Qin Wangchu was very satisfied and left with Cai Ze, a group of important Qin officials, and [-] followers.

Of course, it is impossible for King Chu of Qin to sit in Jiameng Pass. The place he is going to is Chengdu, the prefecture of Shu County.

Chengdu is a city that has undergone large-scale reconstruction according to the layout of Xianyang. There is reason to believe that Qin Wangchu will have a similar feeling after going there. As for whether this feeling brings him joy or melancholy, only Qin Wang Chu knew it himself.

Those who want to go have already gone, and those who stay are still going on.

Wei Liao looked at a dark-skinned young man in front of him, frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed, and asked, "Where is your father Li Bingjun?"

The person standing in front of Wei Liao was none other than Li Jian, Li Bing's third son.
