Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Linle City.

For some reason, when Lejian got up that day, he suddenly felt a palpitation inexplicably, his whole body was spinning, and he sat down on the ground all of a sudden.

The captain of the personal guard who happened to walk in the door was startled, rushed up in a hurry, and immediately helped Le Jian up, and was about to call for a doctor, when Le Jian stopped him suddenly.

"Please help me up!"

Le Jian's words were very firm, revealing a sense that he could not refuse at all, so the captain of the personal guard had to obey the order subconsciously, and helped Le Jian to the bed.

"Your Majesty has been overworked these days, let's rest for a while." Looking at Le Jian leaning on the couch with a pale face, the captain of the personal guard was worried and couldn't help but persuade in a low voice.

As a confidant who stayed by Le Jian's side for almost twelve hours, the captain of the personal guard knew how busy Le Jian was these days.

Every day at dawn, Lejian would get up early to prepare for the attack of the Zhao army, and then fight all day, and then patrol the city once at night, and deal with a lot of military affairs after returning from the patrol.

Don't look at it as just a city in Linle, but when more than 30 and nearly 40 soldiers and civilians of Yan State were squeezed into this city, many problems began to appear.

You must know that many places like Yan State, such as Liaodong County and Liaoxi County combined, do not have 40 people.

If many things cannot be dealt with in a timely and rapid manner, it may have an extremely bad impact on the entire city defense operation at some point.

It is precisely under such high-intensity work and the pressure brought by Zhao Jun that Lejian only sleeps for a short two hours a day. It is okay to say at the beginning, but the serious lack of rest will be exposed after a long time .

Now is the time for the problem to erupt completely.

Le Jian took a few deep breaths, and then whispered: "Quick, go get some soup."

The captain of the personal guard did not dare to be negligent, and immediately went to the kitchen after helping Le Jian to sit, and a moment later brought a soup: "Your Majesty, the meat soup that Pao Ren just made."

Le Jian nodded, and with the help of the captain of the personal guard, he sipped the soup slowly.

The meat soup kept eating, and Le Jian felt that his strength seemed to be returning slowly, and his whole spirit began to improve a lot.

Suddenly, a rumbling drum sound came from outside the house.

Le Jian listened carefully, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he decided to eat the meat soup in front of him before going out.

He didn't want to faint in public in his headquarters.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and a moment later they reached the door.

"Your Majesty, Jidu urgently reports!"

Le Jian hummed, and motioned to the captain of the personal guard, who immediately walked out, quickly took the unopened thin note in his hand, and placed it in front of Le Jian.

Lejian is not in a hurry to open this secret letter, because in Lejian's view, there is no rush for good or bad, and the recent pigeon letters from Jidu always make Lejian feel uneasy. It feels like eating, so I'd better finish the soup first.

After a while, the meat soup finally went into Le Jian's stomach.

Le Jian felt warm all over, and the few traces of chill that came in from the door were completely dispelled, so he stretched out his hand to the secret letter in front of him.

The captain of the personal guards very consciously picked up the tableware used by Lejian and walked towards the door. No one needs to be present when your majesty reads the secret letter.

Just when the captain of the personal guard had just left the door, there was an incomparably sharp, almost human-like cry from the room.

"This is impossible!!!"

The captain of the personal guard turned his head and saw a blood mist spraying from Le Jian's mouth, and then Le Jian threw himself forward and fell directly to the ground.

"Your Majesty!!!"

"Both the Empress Dowager Yan and the Little Yan King have run away?" Li Mu stood in the main hall of the palace city of Jidu, his head was the throne of King Yan, and in front of him were the corpses of many Imperial Guards of the Yan Kingdom.

After entering the city yesterday, Li Mu actually encountered some obstacles. For example, Yan Kingdom's imperial guards closed the palace gate in time, blocking Li Mu's vanguard troops from the palace city.

Fortunately, ever since Li Mu entered the city, those guys who were willing to surrender to Zhao State appeared in front of Li Mu one after another. It was with the help of these guys that Li Mu finally successfully led his troops into the city through a side door. In the palace city.

After a fierce battle, Li Mu finally broke through the obstacles of the Imperial Guards of the Yan Kingdom and completely wiped out the Imperial Guards of the Yan Kingdom who were still stubbornly fighting in the entire palace city. Then he learned that the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Yan had left. news.

This disappointed Li Mu.

For Li Mu, rather than conquering Jidu, what Li Mu hopes more is to achieve the goal of capturing the Queen Mother Yan's mother and child.

The capital can be moved if the capital is gone, but if the king is gone, it cannot be chosen casually. After all, the current King of Yan is still a minor boy, and there is no prince of Yan who can continue in a critical moment. bit.

So after Li Mu thought for a while, he immediately summoned Cai Niao, who had surrendered to him, and several other ministers of the Yan Kingdom.

"In your opinion, if the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Yan escaped, where should they flee?"

Although there is a saying in later generations that "the enemy is the one who understands you best", the problem is that Li Mu and Zhao Guo have too many enemies in this era. The enemy of Yan State was not the object of Li Mu's attention before, so let him Let these traitors continue to betray their kings.

Anyway, for these traitors, since they have betrayed their own king, they must find a way to go dark.

After hearing Li Mu's question, Cai Niao and the others couldn't help but look at each other, and then Cai Niao tentatively asked: "The governor is planning to send people to chase after the queen mother and the king?"

"It's not the king, it's the king of Yan." Li Mu corrected the other party's mistake very seriously, and said: "Early before the expedition, the king ordered someone to send orders from Handan. Anyone who is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light is my minister of Zhao Guo. .”

For this, Cai Niao and others were naturally grateful, and apologized to Li Mu one after another, saying that they were indeed wrong before, and everyone was from Zhao Guo.

To be honest, Cai Niao and the others were somewhat worried at the beginning, after all, traitors are not well received by others, and there is no reason to beheaded if Li Mu finds an excuse to behead them.

Fortunately, now Li Mu's attitude has obviously accepted Cai Niao and others. Under the premise that their lives are safe, the enthusiasm for loyalty to the new master immediately exploded.

After some discussion, Cai Niao said to Li Mu: "Governor, we thought that the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Yan should have fled to Liaodong."

"Liaodong?" Li Mu was slightly taken aback.

"Exactly." Cai Niao said: "Now Linle City has been surrounded by General Pang Nuan's army. Going to Linle City can only be a dead end, so if the Empress Dowager Yan's mother and son want to survive, they can only flee to Liaodong. And Liaodong is close. Jizi North Korea, a vassal state of Yan, may be able to get some help from Jizi North Korea."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since that's the case, then the commander-in-chief will rest here for a day, and then set off to chase after the mother and son of the Queen Mother Yan."

"What?" As soon as Li Mu's words fell, several traitors of the Yan Kingdom immediately screamed.

Li Mu looked at the other party strangely, and said, "You seem to have some opinions on my use of troops?"

Cai Niao hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "The general is joking, what we mean is that the general doesn't send people to stay in Jidu?"

Li Mu thought for a while, and then said: "My lieutenant Yi Qusheng will stay here."

Only then did Cai Niao and the others feel relieved. After all, if Li Mu directly led Zhao Jun to leave, then the situation in Jidu would be difficult to predict.

After sending away Cai Niao and others, Li Mu summoned Yi Qu Sheng who had a strong smell of blood and did not know where he had just killed someone, and said to Yi Qu Sheng, "I will give you 3000 people, and you are responsible for guarding them for me." The city."

Yi Qusheng's eyes widened when he heard this: "You want to go south to attack Linle? No, you must take me with you."

Li Mu glared at Yi Qusheng, and said, "I'm not going to attack Linle, but to go after the Empress Dowager Yan's mother and son!"

Yi Qusheng muttered twice in dissatisfaction, and said, "I've already asked, the two mothers and sons only have about a thousand imperial guards with them, and they can't pose any threat at all."
