Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Let’s just talk about the past few days. Apart from sending cavalry to plunder the Qin people, Li Mu also tentatively attacked Chongquan City, which is close at hand.

According to the information given to Li Mu by Hu Yiwei in advance, there are only [-] defenders in this heavy spring city, and it should be quite easy to break through.

Then something unexpected happened to Li Mu, that is, this city with only [-] Qin defenders brought nearly a thousand casualties to Li Mu, and finally made Li Mu return without success.

When he witnessed tens of thousands of Qin people standing on the top of the city and using stones, iron rods and other messy things to greet the heads of his own cavalry, Li Mu understood that it was because of the troops under his command alone. Tens of thousands of cavalry wanted to conquer the city, but it would be impossible without three or four thousand casualties.

For Li Mu, the life of a cavalryman is very precious, and it must not be used as cannon fodder for siege like an infantryman.

One thousand is enough to feel distressed, how about three or four thousand?So Li Mu resolutely gave up his plan to continue attacking Chongquan City.

But in this case, the food will not be available again.

Headache.

Just when Li Mu felt helpless, a sound of footsteps slowly approached the handsome tent where he was.

A notification came from outside the tent.

"Zhao Kuo please see me!"

The expression on Li Mu's face moved slightly, he raised his voice, and said, "Come in..."

Soon, Zhao Kuo appeared in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at his lieutenant in front of him, and found that Zhao Kuo had a very obvious smile on his face, so he couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong? Is there any good news?"

Zhao Kuo smiled, and said to Li Mu: "There is really good news, come in quickly."

Zhao Kuo said the last four words to the outside of the account.

The curtain at the entrance of the big tent was lifted, and a man about 40 years old who looked like an ordinary farmer from the Qin Kingdom appeared in front of Li Mu and saluted Li Mu: "Hu Yiwei The Chinese have seen the general!"

"Hu Yiwei?" After hearing this term, Li Mu immediately lifted his spirits.

Unlike the officials who are extremely disgusted with the two departments of Hu Yiwei and the monitoring and guarding, Li Mu's view of Hu Yiwei is quite positive.

The reason for this is, of course, due to the use of accurate intelligence to help Li Mu break through Xianyang City two years ago.

So after confirming the identity of the person who came, Li Mu immediately said to the Hu Yiwei spy in front of him: "You must have some good news to tell this general when you come here this time?"

Li Mu looked at the spy with a look of great anticipation.

The spy smiled, nodded to Li Mu with certainty, and said, "General, this time there is indeed important information to report."

Li Mu forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and said to the Hu Yiwei in front of him, "Quickly tell me, what kind of information is it?"

The spy smiled, walked up to Li Mu, and tapped a certain place on the map on the table.

"General, according to our situation, this place is very empty now, and it is the best target to attack."

Li Mu looked at the place pointed by the spy, and his eyes lit up immediately.

But Li Mu immediately showed a bit of hesitation on his face, and said, "No, if I remember correctly, the geographical location here is so important, it should be guarded by heavy troops."

Detective Hu Yiwei chuckled, and whispered something to Li Mu.

The more Li Mu listened, the brighter his eyes became. After listening, he finally couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and said to Zhao Kuo who was beside him, "General Zhao Kuo, you should have heard clearly, right? What are you waiting for, gather your troops and set off immediately!" "

Chapter 7 offers suggestions (third)

To the east of Luoshui River and to the west of the Yellow River, this area is also known as the Hexi Land in the Qin population.

In the early days of the Warring States period, the State of Wei once defeated the State of Qin and occupied this place, and set it as Xihe County, so the people of the State of Wei called it Xihe Land.

Whether it is Xihe or Hexi, this is a very important place for the former Wei and Qin.

After Wei State occupied here at that time, Qin State Guanzhong was a girl with open thighs to Wei State, and she was completely at the mercy of Wei State.

Back then, after Hexi was occupied by Wei State, Qin State was once on the verge of extinction.

Fortunately, with the death of a generation of overlord Wei Hou, the successor Wei Wuhou shifted the focus of the struggle for hegemony to the Central Plains, which made the people of Qin breathe a sigh of relief.

It was also against this background that the Qin State ushered in the great savior Shang Yang who has gone down in history.

After Shang Yang's political reform, the state of Qin regained its strength. With the victory of the Battle of Diaoyin and diplomatic oppression, it finally succeeded in recovering Hexi and Shangjun.

It was from here that Qin State blew the horn of counter-offensive step by step, continued to conquer Hedong County in the east, and then opened the Weihan Passage, occupying all the land in the west of Wei State, and then continued eastward to attack South Korea. Yiyang, Yewang and even Shangdang laid the foundation.

If the two cities in Hexi are the most important, then of course they are Shaoliang City in the north and Yinjin City in the south.

Shaoliang City was built by Wei Hou, the founding monarch of the Wei State. The purpose was to use this place as a starting point to suppress and eliminate the Qin State step by step. It is also the most populous and largest city in the entire Hexi region.

But if measured from a military point of view, Yinjin City is much better than Shaoliang City.

Yinjin City is located in the north of the Qinling Mountains and south of the Wei River, and at the same time corresponds to the west exit of the Weihan Passage. It is stuck in such a narrow throat, and its geographical location is extremely important.

Under the premise of the fall of Hangu Pass, if the enemy appears from the Xiaohan passage, they must choose to cross the Weishui River and Luoshui River continuously, otherwise they can only take Yinjin City before they can continue to march towards Guanzhong.

And once Yinjin City is taken, there will be no obstacles in the whole Guanzhong, and it can be called a flat river.

It is precisely because this city is so important that no matter whether it is Qin or Zhao, they all regard it as a military city. In layman's terms, it is a military fortress.

A military fortress the size of a city.

It was dusk now, and the brilliance of the setting sun sprinkled the entire land, dyeing the thick blue-black city walls of Yinjin City into a golden yellow, making this tall and majestic city even more majestic.

In a certain forest several miles away, Li Mu looked at the city quietly, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

To be honest, after seeing with his own eyes how fortified this military fortress was, Li Mu didn't feel at all in his heart.

Such a city, even with an infantry army of 20 or even [-], would take a year or so to completely conquer it.

If the [-] cavalry in Li Mu's hands had no siege equipment to attack directly, I'm afraid they could only think about how to break the city in their dreams.

After a long while, Li Mu said, "Can this city really be breached?"

Li Mu didn't talk to himself, but to the people around him.

Beside Li Mu, apart from his deputy Zhao Kuo and several personal guards, there was also a man in his thirties wearing the military uniform of the Qin Army.

The man smiled when he heard the words, and said to Li Mu: "The general must have seen how strong this city is. According to common sense, it is indeed impossible to break through with the general's strength."

Having said that, the man deliberately paused, observing the expression on Li Mu's face.

Li Mu looked at the man very calmly.

The man smiled awkwardly, and continued: "But if you use tricks, then the situation will be different."
