Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Li Mu shook his head and said: "That's not what I said. If the Queen Mother Yan and the King Yan don't fall into our hands, the war in Yan Kingdom will be unspeakable. Only by catching the mother and son as soon as possible can we ensure The war in Yan Kingdom will end as soon as possible."

In fact, Li Mu has another reason that is not humane, and that is the secret order from Zhao Dan before the start of the war. In the secret order, Zhao Dan hoped that Li Mu could capture the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Yan alive as much as possible to ensure the safety of the mother and child.

Li Mu knew why. Firstly, the Queen Mother Yan was the king's relative. Secondly, the king also needed a living King Yan to surrender to Zhao and be named Lord Yan, just like Wei Zeng, the last king of Wei before.

Now that the Empress Dowager Yan's mother and son have fled to the bitter cold place of Liaodong, Li Mu is really worried in his heart.

If it hadn't been for the consideration that the soldiers needed to rest after repeated battles, Li Mu would have wished to set off immediately to capture the mother and son who should not have escaped too far at this moment.

But Yi Qusheng obviously couldn't know the twists and turns inside, so he glanced at Li Mu with some puzzlement, and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Spring hasn't passed yet, we have plenty of time."

Li Mu finally lost his patience, and kicked Yi Qu Sheng heavily, kicking Yi Qu Sheng staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

"It's like toasting and not eating fine wine! If you are told to stay, you will stay, so much nonsense!"

Chapter 8 End of the road? (first update)

The word "everything is going well" is a lie for a long life.

Although [-] Zhao cavalry were able to control Jidu, but that was only for Miyagi and the broad streets.

The sturdy Yan people finally showed their true nature at this moment. Compared with Xianyang, which had hardly encountered much resistance after being breached, the resistance of the people of Yan Kingdom in Jidu was much stronger.

Under the secret alliance and command of several Yan State ministers, Zhao State's occupying army suddenly found itself under ubiquitous harassment.

When patrolling on the street, many cold arrows will be shot from the alleys. If you go into the alleys, you will find that there is no one in front of you. If you chase a little deeper, you will find that you have been surrounded by some time. Then It was another round of sharp arrows and fighting, and the entire team was wiped out.

This is not over yet, there were even two times when the cavalry patrols were directly surrounded by hundreds of people on the street. If a few nearby patrols hadn't arrived after hearing the news, then the cavalry patrols of Zhao State would have even All were annihilated on the street.

In just one night and half a day, more than 300 Zhao soldiers died because of patrolling to maintain order in the city.

If Li Mu had 10 people under his command, Li Mu would not care about the death of 300 people at all, but the problem is that Li Mu only has 1 people in his hands now.

This made Li Mu face a very difficult choice. If he really wanted to continue to divide his troops according to yesterday's plan, the 3000 people left for Yiqu Sheng was obviously not enough to continue to control the city, and it became inevitable to abandon Jidu. Options.

If you don't want to give up Jidu, the only way is for Li Mu not to leave, and to lead the [-] cavalrymen under his command to continue to purge the resistance forces in the city, but if this happens, Li Mu will not be able to set off immediately to chase after Yanhou mother and son.

After thinking for a while, facing the hopeful eyes of Yi Qusheng, Cai Niao and others, Li Mu finally made a decision.

"Let's stop chasing Queen Yan's mother and son for the time being. I will immediately send people to Linle City and ask General Pang Nuan to send some troops over there. After General Pang Nuan's troops arrive, we will continue to chase after Queen Yan. Mother and son."

As soon as Li Mu's decision was made, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of the victory quickly spread back to the camp of Linle City, which made Pang Nuan immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, Li Dudu is indeed worthy of being the most outstanding general of Zhao's younger generation, and he was able to attack Jidu in such a surprise attack!"

Pang Nuan was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Although it is said that Li Mu's capture of Jidu will steal a lot of Pang Nuan's limelight, but don't forget that Pang Nuan is the leader of this army, and Li Mu is Pang Nuan's subordinate in this war.

So no matter what kind of credit Li Mu made, it was all obtained under Pang Nuan's command. As long as the result of conquering the Yan Kingdom is achieved in the end, then Pang Nuan's credit will be great, and no one can take it away.

Lieutenant General Ju Xin also smiled and said: "Pang Qing, now Li Mu is also one of the ministers of Longtai, Pang Qing can't treat him as a younger generation."

Pang Nuan let out a hey, and said, "This old man can be Li Dudu's great grandfather no matter how old he is, why can't he be treated as a junior?"

The two old friends chatted for a while, and then Pang Nuan said: "Juqing, now Li Mu wants me to send troops to take over Jidu, so that he can continue to chase the Queen Mother Yan and her son eastward. How do you think we should treat this matter?"

After hearing what Pang Nuan said, Ju Xin had a somewhat unnatural expression on his face.

After all, Ju Xin has served in Yan State for decades, and he is one of the founders of Yan State's prosperous age. He still has some feelings for Yan State. Now when it comes to how to hunt down and kill the descendants of his benefactor, King Yan Zhao , must have made him uncomfortable.

However, Ju Xin quickly overcame this emotion. For Ju Xin, Yan Guo has passed away. As Zhao Guolong's important minister, what Ju Xin needs to do now is to be loyal to Zhao Guo.

Ju Xin said very calmly: "General Li Mu's words are reasonable, as long as Jidu can be stabilized, and then Linle City can be taken down, then more than half of the population of Yan Kingdom will be under our control. The difficulty is completely gone. Therefore, I suggest sending people to take over Jidu immediately, and the sooner the better."

Pang Nuan thought for a while, and said: "Well, Zhao Kuo arrived here with [-] cavalry a while ago, but these cavalry are useless to attack the city, why not let Zhao Kuo bring [-] cavalry to support Li Mu, I We only need to leave [-] cavalry behind."

Ju Xin nodded, agreeing with Pang Nuan's idea, and at the same time reminded: "Pang Qing, remember to keep the armored cavalry of the Central Army."

Pang Nuan laughed, and said: "Of course I know. Also, since the thistles are broken, it's time for us to make some chapters."

Lejian has been lying in bed for three whole days.

Although the news was tightly blocked, the problem was that everyone knew that Chang Guojun would go to the city to patrol the city every night, but now Chang Guojun hadn't shown up for three days.

A feeling of panic is quietly spreading.

Le Jian, who was lying on the bed, was well aware of this, so he quickly made a decision: "Tomorrow, after Zhao Jun's attack is repelled, I will go to the city to inspect."

As soon as these words were uttered, the military doctor immediately objected: "No way! Mr. Chang is now weak from internal injuries. He can only lie on the bed and rest, and he cannot move a step!"

Le Jian sighed and said: "If I don't show up again, then the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire city may not be saved."

With such a reason, no one has any way to object to Lejian's words.

In fact, there is no need for the military doctor to tell Lejian that his body is very poor. He even feels that something is stabbing in his body like a knife, bringing him countless pains every minute and every second. pain.

The matter of the fall of Jidu was not leaked out, and Le Jian knew very well that if anyone other than himself knew about this matter, the morale of everyone in the city would soon be ruined.

Fortunately, today's Linle City is already an isolated city, so Lejian only needs to keep this secret tightly, and then stick to it until the moment when Wu Jitai comes.

As for the situation in the territory of the Yan Kingdom after Jidu was breached, Le Jian was also at a loss.

Anyway, with the lessons learned from Tian Dan and Qi State, Le Jian felt that as long as he could keep the spark of Linle City, then the hope of Yan State's Jedi counterattack still exists, at least in theory.

As for the situation of the Empress Dowager Yan's mother and son, Lejian also knows. In fact, Lejian knows that they must have fled to Liaodong, but Liaodong is not a safe place. Although Jizi North Korea is a vassal state of Yan, it has There has always been a lack of respect for the Yan Kingdom. Many barbarians in the north have been restless in the past few years. Now when they hear the news, they are even more likely to directly beat the dog in the water.

Liaodong is not a place where Yan Guo can make a comeback, only Linle is.

Then keep it.

I can only hope that the queen mother and the king will be lucky.

The military doctor had left the room at some point, and Le Jian was the only person left in this room.

Le Jian was lying on the bed, with a pair of eyes staring blankly at the roof on his pale face, silently staring in a daze.

Scenes flashed through his mind. His wife, concubine, and child, Lejian, suddenly wanted to know what happened to his family members in the mansion of Lord Chang in Jidu.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Lejian could tell that it was his own guard captain. Judging from the hurried steps, it seemed that something troublesome had happened again.

Yes, since the beginning of the war, everything seems to have never been smooth.

The door was opened, and the captain of the personal guard walked in, holding a piece of paper in his hand: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

Le Jian slowly shifted his gaze to his confidant: "Why are you so flustered?"
