Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Chapter 448 Could it be that Wu Xinjun lost?

"Emergency military situation in Guanzhong?"

When they first heard this sentence, Meng Ao and Wang Jian were actually a little dazed.

Where did the emergency military situation come from in Guanzhong at this time?

Meng Ao subconsciously said: "Did I make a mistake?"

The guard said: "There is absolutely nothing wrong, it was just sent from Xianyang, and all the proofs are there."

Meng Ao took the scroll handed over by the chief guard, opened it and took out a piece of tissue paper.

The moment he saw this piece of silk paper, Meng Ao thought, "This paper is not as convenient as the paper made by Wu Xinjun."

But soon Meng Ao didn't have any chance to be in a daze, because his face was already covered with shock.

"Wu Xinjun's subordinate Li Mu occupied Jingyang City and burned Jingyang City?"

Not only Meng Ao, even Wang Jian who heard the news was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "When did Li Mu go to Guanzhong?

impossible! "

After a few seconds, the shock on Meng Ao's face slowly subsided, replaced by a wry smile: "Li Mu went to Yiqu from Shangjun, and then launched a rebellion in Yiqu, and then went south Guanzhong also conquered Jingyang City in one fell swoop."

This answer did not make Wang Jian's doubts subside, but increased a bit: "Such a long distance, is it that Xianyang knows nothing and will not make any defenses?

Also, why didn't they notify us when Yiqu rebelled? "

Meng Ao rubbed his temples, and said: "Why didn't you inform us when Yiqu rebelled? The main reason is that Xianyang didn't take it seriously at the beginning.

After knowing that Li Mu went south, he actually took precautions, but I heard that someone came to cooperate with Li Mu in Jingyang City, and now Jingyang Ling Linying has been arrested, and this matter is being investigated. "

Although Meng Ao explained one by one, Wang Jian was still quite upset, and said: "These ministers are all like a generation of vegetarians. Don't they know what a formidable opponent Wu Xinjun is, but they just relax their vigilance again and again. pole!"

Meng Ao sighed, and said: "Actually, you can't blame them for this incident, who knew that Li Mu could break through the city of Jingyang with only 1 cavalry?

It can be considered that he still has some conscience, knowing to drive all the people away before burning the city, otherwise hehe! "

Wang Jian said: "General, what should we do now, should we withdraw our troops and return to Guanzhong?"

This is what Wang Jian is most concerned about right now.

Meng Ao stroked the beard on his chin and fell into thought, after a while he said: "The king has already said in the order that he will send the Xianyang garrison to fight against Li Mu's troops, in short, Li Mu cannot make trouble in Guanzhong comfortably.

As for the soldiers and horses we are leading, for the time being, the main task is to continue to besiege Zhiyi. "

Only then did Wang Jian heave a sigh of relief and said, "That would be the best."

What Wang Jian is most worried about is that because of the chaos in Guanzhong, soldiers and horses will be sent back from Zhiyi. Although there seem to be a lot of soldiers and horses here, even if they send 1000 people, it will delay the capture of Zhiyi and completely wipe out Wu Xinjun. Timing.

Meng Ao looked at Wang Jian, frowned slightly, and said, "General Wang Jian, I can understand your desire to avenge the two generals, but you must remember that we are the generals of Great Qin, and everything should be done in the interests of Great Qin." For the most important!"

Wang Jian was a little disapproving. It wasn't your Meng Ao's relatives who died in his heart. After you really experienced my pain, how could you still say such a thing?

But on the surface Wang Jian still expressed his obedience, saying: "The general understands."

As a young man, Wang Jian still couldn't control his emotions well after all, and his expression still showed some clues.

This made Meng Ao's brows wrinkle even tighter, but Meng Ao didn't say anything in the end, he just said: "Let's stop here today, starting tomorrow, our army has to continue to increase the attack power."

Seeing Wang Jian leaving, Meng Ao shook his head helplessly.

"If young people are only immersed in hatred, they will not be able to truly grow up." Thinking about it, Meng Ao was a little worried.

"Wu Xinjun, I knew it was impossible for you to stay in Zhiyi and wait for death.

Is Li Mu your ultimate trump card?

No, it's impossible.

How could 1 cavalry be your ultimate hole card? "

Handan, the palace city of Zhao State.

The queen mother sat at the top, and her tone became more and more anxious.

"What's going on, didn't Lord Wu Xin say that he wanted to give Da Zhao a victory over Qin?

It has been so long now, besides being surrounded by Qin people in Zhiyi, what else did he do? "

The queen mother's mentality really exploded.

Originally, Lian Po had suffered a big defeat in Jidu, so that Zhao Guo had to cede land for peace, just to get Zhao Kuo back from Qin State.

As a result, Zhao Kuo was surrounded by Qin people instead, and the siege lasted for a month. How could he win?

Facing the queen mother's questioning, Lin Xiangru looked calm, since it's none of the old man's business anyway, it's impossible for the old man to speak.

It was Mr. Pingyuan who spoke up: "Empress Dowager, please be calm, Mr. Wu Xin is the No. 1 general in the world, and there must be a reason for his actions.

I believe that it won't take long for Wu Xinjun to report his victory. "

The queen mother let out a oh, and looked at Mr. Pingyuan with some amusement: "Mr. Pingyuan, do you really believe that Mr. Wu Xin will bring good news soon?"

Mr. Pingyuan was asked such a rhetorical question by the queen mother, but he couldn't answer for a while.

Given the current situation, Mr. Pingyuan actually doesn't quite believe that Zhao Kuo can make a comeback.

The queen mother got the answer from Mr. Pingyuan's reaction, and sneered even more: "I want the old woman to tell you, this time everyone may have been tricked by Mr. Wu Xin!"

There was silence in the hall, but a doubt emerged in the hearts of everyone.

Could it be that Wu Xinjun is really just boasting, but in fact there is nothing he can do?

The corner of Lin Xiangru's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a very concealed smile.

Rationally speaking, Lin Xiangru certainly knew that if Zhao Kuo failed, it would also be a huge blow to Zhao Guo.

But from an emotional point of view, as Zhao Kuo's political opponent, Lin Xiangru is really looking forward to hearing the news of Zhao Kuo's failure, even if it is only once.

Mr. Pingyuan smiled wryly and said, "Queen Mother, this is the end of the matter, let's trust Mr. Wu Xin."

The queen mother waved her sleeves and said very unhappy: "He did it by ceding land for peace, and it was his idea to fight Qin. The old woman listened to him, but now he has made such a result?

How can you make the old woman continue to believe in him! "

The Queen Mother's question left Mr. Pingyuan speechless and completely unable to answer.

At this moment, the figure of the eunuch Ling of Zhao Guo suddenly appeared.

"Queen Mother, urgent report from the western battlefield!"

When hearing the news, everyone in the palace felt tense.

The Queen Mother couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that Lord Wu Xin lost?"

Chapter 449: Wu Xinjun's vassal Li Mu?Can he do it?

Wu Xinjun lost?

When this conjecture came out of the queen mother's mouth, although they knew it might not be true, everyone's expressions changed in unison.

Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang's face was obviously gloomy.

Lin Xiangru's mouth twitched again.

Zhou Shaofen clenched his hands in the sleeves unconsciously.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Everyone watched nervously as the Empress Dowager opened the envelope with her slender fingers, and took out a piece of paper made by the papermaking workshop of Wu Xinjun's mansion.

With the continuous expansion of the scale of papermaking, the price of paper produced by Zhao Kuo's paper workshop is now six sheets of paper for one yuan, and it is expected to break through the low price of eight sheets or even ten sheets of paper for one yuan within this year.

It is such a cheap piece of paper, but it carries the extremely important military and state affairs of Zhao State.

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on the paper, and after seeing the content on it, she suddenly trembled, her rosy lips parted, revealing a row of white teeth and a surprised expression: "How is this possible?"

The hearts of everyone in the hall tightened at the same time.

Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang both had bitter expressions on their faces.

It seems that Wu Xinjun still failed to continue the myth of invincibility after all.

Lin Xiangru let out a long breath, as if he was suppressing something.

Zhou Shaofen's sleeves stopped shaking, and the veins on his hands were exposed.

A few seconds later, the queen mother raised her head and said with a rather complicated expression: "I just got the news that Wu Xinjun's retainer Li Mu led a coalition army of [-] Chiyou troops and [-] Yiqu cavalry troops to the south and captured Jingyang City of Qin State. And burn Jingyang City completely!"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, everyone in the hall was stunned at the same time.

Why is this news different from what everyone expected?

Everyone thought that Wu Xinjun was probably finished, but now he actually won?

Lord Pingyuan said in disbelief: "Jingyang?

That is the top five big cities in the Qin State, can it be broken by just 1 cavalry? "

The queen mother nodded and said: "Although I don't know how Li Mu did it, he did it."

Lin Xiangru hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "What about Zhiyi?"

The queen mother raised the paper in her hand that recorded the military situation: "It didn't say anything on it."

Everyone understood.

Misunderstood.

This is actually not news from the main battlefield in Zhiyi, but news from the Guanzhong sub-battlefield!Mr. Pingyuan's mood began to cheer up, and he couldn't help but said: "Queen Mother, isn't this the victory that Mr. Wu Xin promised before?"

This sentence immediately reminded everyone.

Zhao Kuo said before that as long as he attacked Qin, he would surely win.

In this situation, Zhao Guojun and ministers originally thought that Zhao Kuo was talking nonsense, but they never thought that what Zhao Kuo said was actually true.

Lin Xiangru said in disbelief: "Could it be that the so-called victory of Lord Wu Xin was achieved by these 1 cavalry?"

This question immediately stopped everyone.

After a while, Lord Pingyuan said: "It's not impossible, after all, the Qin army is powerful in Zhiyi, but Guanzhong is quite empty.

Li Mu might not be able to make some momentum in Guanzhong, and then force the Qin army to retreat. "

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said: "[-] cavalry in Guanzhong are rootless duckweeds, and being able to break through Jingyang is already a manifestation of the negligence of the people of Qin.

As long as the Qin people are not stupid, Li Mu will definitely have no chance in the future.

If Wu Xinjun just wants to rely on Li Mu, the old man is actually not optimistic about Li Mu's performance in the future. "

Mr. Pingyuan said with some dissatisfaction: "Who said it can't be done?

Hasn't Wu Xinjun always been able to create miracles? "

Lin Xiangru said lightly: "Mr. Wu Xin may be able to create miracles, but Mr. Pingyuan, don't forget that the current Lord Wu Xin is in Zhiyi, not in Guanzhong!"

Mr. Pingyuan was speechless by Lin Xiangru.

As Lin Xiangru said, it is Guanzhong, not Zhiyi, that needs to create miracles, but Zhao Kuo is not in Guanzhong but in Zhiyi.

Li Mu, can you please?

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little dull.

It was obviously a victory, but Zhao Guojun and his ministers are still not happy now.

After a long while, the queen mother coughed and said lightly: "Anyway, it is pretty good to be able to break through a city of Qin.

I hope Wu Xinjun can bring more surprises to the old woman.

As for Li Mu being able to conquer more cities, it is naturally excellent. "

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said, "I'm only afraid that Li Mu will die in Guanzhong."

"General Li Mu, do you think we will die in Guanzhong?"

This is what Yi Qusheng asked Li Mu.

When Yi Qusheng asked this question, the two were sitting next to a certain fire in the camp, gobbling up a newborn calf that they had snatched from a nearby Qin village.

As a single army going deep into the enemy's territory, of course Li Mu's troops could not carry a large amount of rations with them, so "eating from the enemy" became the only choice.

Wars in the Spring and Autumn Period were full of aristocratic demeanor, and it was rare for the enemy to feed on the enemy. However, in the Warring States Period, fighting for food while fighting became the default operation of all countries.
