Everyone can leave with three days' rations, and if anyone stays in the city before sunset tonight, they will all be shot to death! "

Seeing Zhao Guo's messengers scattered away, Yi Qusheng couldn't help but said: "General Li Mu, these are our spoils of war!"

In this era, once a city is captured, everyone in the city will become spoils of war for the occupying army.

It is very common to kill and plunder after victory, but it is too rare to let people go like Li Mu.

Li Mu shook his head, looked at Yi Qusheng and said calmly: "Our Da Zhao's army doesn't kill civilians."

Yiqu Sheng said: "Of course I know, but it's not like letting everyone in this city go, right?

etc!General Li Mu, what do you mean? "

As Yi Qusheng was talking, he suddenly came back to his senses and felt something was wrong in his heart.

Li Mu smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Under Li Mu's strict orders and Zhao Jun's cavalry shouting everywhere, people from Qin State began to leave the city in twos and threes.

After discovering that the pioneers had not been massacred and abused by Zhao Jun, a large number of people began to swarm out and leave the city in horror.

This walk is a whole day.

At dusk that day, Li Mu stood on the city wall, watching the last group of people in Jingyang City disappear from his sight.

Yiqu Sheng said: "Now, what are we going to do?"

Li Mu didn't answer Yi Qusheng immediately, but looked at the captain of the personal guard beside him and asked, "Everyone is driven away?"

The captain of the personal guard said: "Yes, people have shouted many times."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then let's start!"

A moment later, Yi Qusheng looked at the scene in front of him and was beyond shocked.

Jingyang City is on fire!Numerous Zhao Jun cavalrymen held torches, walked back and forth on the street, and kept throwing torches into the empty mansions.

Soon, the entire street was surrounded by billowing smoke and flames, and the fire continued to expand. After a quarter of an hour, there was no need for Zhao Jun's knights to continue to add fire, but it spread towards various places in the city by itself. .

Li Mu smiled and patted Yiqu Sheng on the shoulder: "Now, King Yiqu should know what I want to do, right?"

Yi Qusheng gasped: "General Li Mu, you, are you going to burn this city down?"

Li Mu laughed loudly: "That's right! I'm going to burn this city and let all the people of Qin know that our Great Zhao army is coming!"

Yi Qusheng grabbed Li Mu: "But, this is against the harmony of heaven!"

Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng strangely: "When the Qin State occupied Dazhao City, the soldiers of the Qin Army insulted Dazhao women, killed and plundered Dazhao's city wantonly! , now I just burned an empty city, how can you say that I have hurt the peace?"

Yi Qusheng was speechless, and after a while he said: "If you don't kill people, why burn this city?"

Li Mu laughed, and patted Yiqu Sheng on the shoulder again: "King Yiqu, let me tell you the truth, every step of the strategy this time is predetermined, and there is no useless effort! If you want to know I suggest you think about it again!"

Yi Qusheng is an ally, but he is not Li Mu's "self" after all!In front of the two of them, Jingyang City had completely turned into a sea of ​​flames.

This once incomparably beautiful city in Guanzhong has been completely reduced to ruins!Xianyang City.

Another court meeting started, and Fan Sui, Xiangbang Yinghou of Qin State, was talking with eloquence, introducing the situation on the front line.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen.

General Wang Yan had just sent back the battle report. Although Wu Xinjun led the soldiers of the Zhao army to resist tenaciously, the soldiers of the Zhao army in the city were not the elite of Zhao, and there was still a clear gap in combat effectiveness.

It is estimated that in two or three months at most, Zhiyi will be completely conquered by our army! "

After Fan Sui finished speaking, all the kings and ministers of Qin State present were overjoyed.

"I can really defeat Wu Xinjun!"

"Great, the legend of Wu Xinjun's invincibility has finally been ended by the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty."

"After defeating Lord Wu Xin, Great Qin will definitely become the strongest country in the world again!"

Amidst the applause, only Prince Yingzi Chu frowned slightly.

Ying Zichu felt that things couldn't be so simple, so he winked at Yangquan Jun Michen.

Mi Chen looked blank, and the meaning was obvious: "Prince, what do you want me to say?"

Ying Zichu secretly scolded Mi Chen for his poor comprehension ability, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Father, I feel that I still need to be careful about Wu Xinjun's schemes, how could Wu Xinjun be beaten so passively?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. "

The king and ministers of the Qin Kingdom were happy when Ying Zichu suddenly came out and poured a basin of cold water, which immediately made the atmosphere stiff.

King Qin coughed heavily, and said, "Zi Chu'er, this is a war, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

Ying Zichu argued with reason: "Father, but" he knocked on the table hard, and said coldly: "Zi Chuer, don't talk nonsense! The battle on the front line is naturally decided by General Wang Yan, so don't comment on it at will." ,Understand?"

King Qin's words were so severe that Ying Zichu naturally had nothing to say.

King Qin coughed and said, "Give the order to General Wang Yan, and let him be." King Qin's words were interrupted by a rush of footsteps.

The eunuch of Qin State Ling Ji rushed into the palace, with a look of panic on his face: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Li Mu, the retainer of Lord Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, led 1 cavalry to raid Jingyang City and occupied it!"

"what?

! ”

In the main hall, the faces of all the monarchs and ministers of Qin State changed drastically at the same time.

Chapter 445 How about withdrawing troops from Zhiyi?

The news was so impactful and explosive that the astonishment of Qin's monarch and ministers lasted for nearly half a minute.

However, it's not over yet.

Because just a few minutes later, new news kept coming.

"Wu Xinjun's retainer Li Mu expelled all the soldiers and civilians in the city from the city, and was only allowed to carry three days' rations with him, and he was not allowed to carry any weapons!"

"Wu Xinjun's retainer Li Mu set fire to the city!"

"Wu Xinjun's retainer Li Mu completely set the entire Jingyang City on fire!"

The hall became more and more quiet.

The ministers of the Qin State who were still cheering and cheering just now, the expressions on their faces are as ugly as mourning.

Prince Yingzi Chu of the Qin Kingdom took a deep breath and murmured, "I see.

Is this Wu Xinjun's counterattack? "

This sentence was like a slap in the face, and it slapped heavily on the faces of all the kings and ministers of Qin, including the king of Qin.

King Qin's face turned livid, and after a while, he finally said, "Okay, okay, okay!"

Among these three good words, there is endless anger.

Just now I was saying that Wu Xinjun was helpless, but now?

As the core city in the hinterland of Guanzhong, Jingyang City was easily breached by Zhao Kuo's troops.

Not just breaching.

After Li Mu burned like this, there will be no Jingyang city in the world from now on!King Qin looked at Fan Sui, and said coldly, "Yinghou, what do you think of this matter?"

Fan Sui's body visibly trembled.

For a long time, Fan Sui strongly supported Zhao Kuo's death in front of Zhiyi, and felt that Li Mu's cavalry was completely insignificant.

But now feeling the cold gaze cast by King Qin, Fan Sui no longer dared to be negligent, and hurriedly got up to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty, please punish him!"

At this moment, Fan Sui really panicked.

Jingyang City, which is a first-class city in Guanzhong, has been completely burnt down now, and King Qin's anger can be imagined.

Once the king of Qin regards him as the scapegoat, Fan Sui will lose his official position at the least, and his whole family will go to heaven at worst!Looking at Fan Sui who was extremely terrified, King Qin was silent for a while, but in the end he didn't get angry with Fan Sui.

It doesn't make any sense to get angry at this time, and you still have to find a way to solve the problem.

King Qin cast his eyes on Ying Zichu: "Zi Chuer, what can you do?"

After King Qin's words fell, everyone in the hall looked at Ying Zichu.

Everyone was fooled by Wu Xinjun, only Ying Zichu kept reminding them.

Ying Zichu has become Qin's last hope.

Feeling everyone's eyes, Ying Zichu felt secretly refreshed, and at the same time admired Lu Buwei greatly.

Sure enough, Mr. Lu's plan is like a sea. I had doubts about Mr. Lu's judgment before, it was too stupid!Ying Zichu's mind quickly came to mind what Lu Buwei said before today's court meeting, he sorted out his words, and then spoke.

"Father, let General Meng Ao withdraw his troops from Hedong County!"

After Ying Zichu finished speaking, the hall became quiet again, followed by a gasp.

Although they knew that the prince had always spoken surprisingly, but this time the ministers of the state of Qin still couldn't believe their ears.

Withdrawal?

Even Fan Sui couldn't help but want to speak, but he quickly remembered the current situation and shut his mouth wisely.

It was King Qin who spoke: "Isn't it good to suddenly withdraw the troops now?"

Qin Wang really wanted to listen to Ying Zichu's idea, but it was definitely not such an idea.

The Qin army dispatched 10,000+ people and fought so hard for so many days in Zhiyi, causing many casualties.

Withdrawing troops without achieving any decent results right now?

Wouldn't that mean that the Qin State had fought fiercely for so many days in vain, with countless casualties, and then had to pay for Jingyang?

How can this work!Ying Zi Chu said: "Father, please think about it, Li Mu's troops are now rampaging in Guanzhong. If General Meng Ao is not allowed to withdraw his troops, who will stop Li Mu's troops?"

This rhetorical question is very sharp.

The King of Qin settled down and said: "Although I don't know how Jingyang City was breached, I know very well that it is impossible to break through Jingyang City with only 1 cavalry! If Li Mu goes to harass other cities, only other cities are needed. Close the door and stick to it, and there will be absolutely no worries in a short period of time."

Although he was a little confused because of the explosive news just now, King Qin quickly calmed down and made a judgment.

It has to be said that the judgment made by the King of Qin is quite close to the actual situation.

Ying Zichu said earnestly: "But father, just sticking to the city won't solve the problem.

Now that the spring plowing has just ended, if Li Mu used the advantage of cavalry to burn, kill and loot in Guanzhong, what should Daqin do? "

This question is still very sharp.

What is the most important thing in this era?

Definitely food.

If the grain that was still in the field during the spring plowing was all ravaged by the cavalry of the State of Zhao, Qin State can certainly rely on last year's grain for a short period of time, but at the end of this year there will inevitably be a situation of great famine caused by a poor harvest of grain. .

King Qin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Then let the Xianyang garrison attack!"

The Xianyang garrison is an elite division that guards Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, with a number of about [-] and extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

Due to the importance of encircling the capital, this garrison has rarely left Xianyang to fight since its establishment. The only time it has played in recent years was in the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao.

This time it was Ying Zichu's turn to be surprised: "Father, you can't! How can the garrison guard Xianyang, the lifeblood of the Great Qin, leave Xianyang?"

The other ministers also came to their senses and spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"My lord, the garrison really can't leave Xianyang!"

King Qin knocked on the table vigorously, and everyone immediately became quiet.

The King of Qin said decisively: "Apart from the garrison, is there a second army in Guanzhong that can resist Li Mu's troops?

Stop talking, the widow has already decided.

It is absolutely impossible to withdraw troops from the front line.

As for the current problem in Guanzhong, let the garrison attack immediately, and must defeat Li Mu's troops, and restore the peace in the hinterland of Guanzhong in Daqin! "

After King Qin's words fell, all the officials could only accept orders.

Ying Zichu wanted to speak, but when he met King Qin's firm eyes, he could only be speechless, but secretly anxious in his heart.

Can the attack of the garrison really stop Li Mu?
