Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The demise of Qi State will definitely make a lot of money for Zhao State, while Qin State and Chu State will lose another ally, which can be said to be a relatively heavy loss.

Since this is the case, why should Zhao Kuo worry about delay?

Nothing to worry about.

Zhao Kuo calmly gave the order.

"This time the Qin people want to fight steadily, so of course we must continue to fight steadily like the Chu people. We must not disappoint our Qin counterparts."

When Zhao Kuo made this judgment with a relaxed expression, Li Mu frowned a little on the battlefield of Qi State hundreds of miles to the east.

As the commander-in-chief of the Zhao State army, Li Mu also issued orders these days to let the Zhao State army under his command launch multiple attacks on the Chang State City in front of him.

But Kuang Liang in Changguo City was, after all, the son of Kuangzhang, the former army god of Qi. He had indeed learned a lot from his father, at least he didn't let Li Mu take advantage of it in terms of defense.

Now Li Mu is not calm enough, because half a month has passed, but Li Mu has made no progress at all. For the arrogant Li Mu, there is really no way. acceptable.

"How can we break through this damn city?"

Li Mu stared at the city in front of him that was still bleeding Zhao soldiers, and fell into deep thought.

In front of Li Mu, countless Zhao Guo's trebuchets and city-charging vehicles were running non-stop, and many Zhao Guo soldiers were holding tall ladders in their hands, wanting to be like ants. Climb to the city wall to occupy the city.

But in front of them, there are also countless Qi soldiers fighting bravely. They use the blades in their hands to kill any Zhao soldiers who want to enter the city.

Although it is said that he has paid a heavy price, in general, Qi's casualties are relatively small.

Li Mu looked at this situation, and after a long while of silence, he gave an order: "It's ok, don't let them continue to attack, let the stars retreat."

Soon the incomparably sharp sound of Mingjin resounded throughout the battlefield, and after hearing this sound, many soldiers of Zhao State retreated one after another, left the battlefield, and began to return to Zhao State's barracks.

After seeing this scene, cheers from the soldiers of the Qi Army resounded from the top of Changguo City.

"My lord, we have once again repelled the Zhao people's attack!"

Beside Kuang Liang, a Qi general said happily to Kuang Liang.

Kuang Liang nodded slightly, but there was no happy expression on his face.

Because he knew very well that it was true that Zhao Guoren had been repulsed this time, but since the opponent was Li Mu, who was once the most valued by Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuodu, it was impossible to let it go so easily.

After thinking of this, Kuang Liang suddenly felt a little lucky.

"Fortunately, because of internal strife among Zhao Guoren, it is said that Wu Xinjun was not able to come here this time.

Otherwise, if Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo leads the army in person, I really don't know what to do. "

Kuang Liang fought against Zhao Kuo himself, so he could better understand how amazing Zhao Kuo's opponent is.

If other opponents in this world have traceable ideas to follow, then Zhao Kuo is completely different.

Zhao Kuo's use of troops has truly verified the sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no permanent shape."

No one knows where Zhao Kuo will use his troops next. In many cases, Zhao Kuo's use of troops is unpredictable and unpredictable.

There were also times when Zhao Kuo clearly knew where Zhao Kuo might use his troops, but there was nothing he could do, and he could only watch helplessly as his troops were penetrated.

When facing Zhao Kuo, Kuang Liang always felt like a child facing an adult, that is, being hanged and played in all directions.

Kuang Liang took a deep breath and collected all his thoughts.

In any case, since it is not Zhao Kuo who is facing it now, there is no need to worry.

Next, let's see what tricks this Li Mu can make.

Although Kuang Liang didn't have any confidence at all when facing Zhao Kuo, but when he was not facing Zhao Kuo but Li Mu, Kuang Liang felt that he should still be able to touch Li Mu.

Li Mu sat in the handsome tent that night, thinking quietly by himself, without speaking at all.

At this moment, a report from outside the commander's account reached Li Mu's ears.

"General, there are people from Handan."

When Li Mu heard the report from his captain of the guards, Li Mu's body trembled.

The sentence just now sounds quite normal, but in fact there is a lot of mystery in it.

If the captain of the guard said "Handan Palace", it was referring to the news from King Zhao or the official Zhao State.

But now the captain of the guard is talking about "the side of Handan", which means that the news here is actually Zhao Kuo's news.

"Quick, let him in!"

Li Mu couldn't wait to speak.

A moment later, a figure appeared in front of Li Mu.

When Li Mu saw this person, he was involuntarily surprised.

"How could it be you?"

Han Fei looked at Li Mu in front of him and smiled, "No, there's no one left."

When Han Fei said that there is no one, of course it does not mean that there is no one under Zhao Kuo's command, but that there are only people who can take on this responsibility on such an important matter and can make Li Mu trust enough. Han Fei is gone.

The relationship between Li Mu and Han Fei was quite good. On the one hand, Li Mu respected intellectuals, and on the other hand, Han Fei also had a good affinity with Li Mu.

Surprised and delighted, Li Mu quickly asked Han Fei to sit down, and then said, "My lord sent you here this time, there must be some clever plan for you to bring me here, right?"

For Li Mu, he is of course a very intelligent person, but if he is under Zhao Kuo's command, Li Mu is often more willing to give up thinking and become a reckless general who can only fight and kill.

This feeling of not thinking is actually very refreshing.

In many cases, thinking too much will cause more pressure and make people more tired, but it is not as exciting and happy as a simple war.

Han Fei looked at Li Mu in front of him and smiled, without saying a word, he took out a letter and put it in front of Li Mu.

This was mainly because of Han Fei's stuttering, so he generally tried not to speak as much as he could.

Of course Li Mu also knew about Han Fei's habit, so he smiled at Han Fei and picked up the letter in his hand.

After opening the letter, Li Mu saw the contents of the letter naturally, and then Li Mu was shocked.

"What, did your lord allow us to use explosives to attack Qi?"

Yes, in this letter, Zhao Kuo directly told Li Mu two things.

The first thing is, if there is really no way to solve the city defense of Qi State, then explosives can be used to directly blow down the city wall of Qi State, so that the project will naturally not be a problem.

As for the second thing, Zhao Kuo told Li Mu that before using the explosives, Li Mu had to write a letter to King Zhao in the Palace of King Zhao, telling King Zhao of the existence of the explosives, which made King Zhao mistakenly believe that Li Mu had controlled the explosives. A new technology that Zhao Kuo didn't know about.

This matter undoubtedly solved Li Mu's most troublesome problem at the moment, that is, how to conquer the city wall of Changguo City?

As long as the city wall can be conquered, no matter how many Qi soldiers there are in the city, it will not be any problem for Li Mu at all.

Under Li Mu's expectant gaze, Han Fei smiled and nodded.

"Just, that's how it is."

Chapter 1014

Due to his stutter, Han Fei always spoke concisely.

Fortunately, Han Fei's words were not so difficult to understand this time, so Li Mu immediately let go of the big stone in his heart.

"This is really great, to tell you the truth, I have been having headaches before, how can I solve this problem?

Now you don't need to worry at all. "

Li Mu also let out a sigh of relief. For Li Mu, he really has nothing to do with this kind of siege.

After all, the tall and solid city walls completely conflicted with Li Mu's tactics of advocating large-scale penetration as a cavalry general.

If you want to change this, there is actually no way before, but now that you can use explosives, it is naturally the most perfect solution.

Excited, Li Mu was about to call his confidant to give orders, but immediately remembered what Zhao Kuo said in the letter, and picked up the pen after a chuckle.

It's better to write a memorial first and go to Handan to make King Zhao happy.

After writing a few words, Li Mu suddenly slapped his thigh and smiled at Han Fei in front of him: "Come on, come on, this time you help me write.

No, your handwriting is also recognizable by the king, so you can dictate a copy and I will copy it. "

Han Fei couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and shook his head with a smile, apparently quite speechless about Li Mu's actions.

In King Qi's palace, King Qi didn't have much interest in holding banquets and drinking these days. He often sat in the palace in a daze, or asked someone to come over and ask about the current battle situation.

What made King Qi a little more relieved was that the news from the front line of Changguo City during this period was quite reassuring. At least Zhao's army didn't seem to have any signs of being able to break through Changguo City.

Once again, the Chang Guojun frontline battle report was delivered, and Kuang Liang still stated the battle situation in a calm tone in this battle report, and told King Qi that everything in Chang Guo City is still under control.

This also made Qi Wang heave a sigh of relief, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"It seems that these Zhao people are not omnipotent."

After putting down the battle report, King Qi muttered to himself.

After hearing King Qi's words, Hou Sheng, who was beside King Qi, immediately revived with full blood, and hurriedly said: "With such a wise and mighty king, how could it be possible for the mere Zhao people to break through the battle of our elite Qi?" What about the guarded city?"

Although King Qi knew that Hou Sheng was flattering, it was strange to say that the flattering that was particularly unpleasant to his ears a few days ago seemed to start to become pleasant again today.

King Qi glanced at Hou Sheng, and said lightly: "You don't have to follow the widow all day, is the army's logistics ready, and how are the local officials doing to appease the people?

Also, has the military pay from the front line been delivered?

If these things are not finished, the widow will also hold you accountable! "

Although the King of Qi said that these years are indeed more about pleasure, but after all, he has also experienced the orthodox royal education of Qi State, and he still has the most basic knowledge of governing the country.

After hearing the words, Hou Sheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is indeed wise, and he immediately pointed out the most important and critical points of our Daqi today.

Please don't worry, Your Majesty, the old ministers have already remembered the things that His Majesty ordered, and they will be done immediately later, and His Majesty must be satisfied! "

King Qi snorted, quite satisfied with Hou Sheng's attitude.

At this moment, King Qi suddenly felt a little bored.

This is actually understandable, after all, King Qi has not lived that kind of drunken life for half a month.

King Qi didn't feel it before, it was because the pressure of life and death of Qi country was directly pressed down heavily, but now King Qi suddenly felt that the pressure was not so great.

This person, when his pressure is not so great, the longing that was originally suppressed by the pressure, like the grass in spring, emerges from every corner of his heart.

King Qi coughed, and said to Hou Sheng: "Housuke, I'm really under a lot of pressure recently.

Did you see any unpacked items? "

After Hou Sheng listened, he was also taken aback for a moment.

After all, Hou Sheng didn't expect that at such a time, King Qi could still think about those things?

After waiting for a few seconds, King Qi didn't get Hou Sheng's reply, he felt a little unhappy, and his tone of voice became heavier: "Is there or is it not!"

Hou Sheng came back to his senses and said with a quick smile: "What the king said, as long as it is what the king wants, he has it, and he must have it! Please rest assured, the king, give me two hours, and the old minister will definitely let the king do it. !"

Only then did King Qi show a satisfied smile, and said to Hou Sheng: "Okay, let's do it quickly!"

Later that day, melodious music sounded in the main hall of King Qi's palace. Amidst the bursts of alcohol, King Qi's cheerful laughter was very ear-piercing.

"Great, that's what I want!"

When the king of Chu heard the news that the state of Zhao was not going well, his reaction was almost the same as that of the king of Qi.

"Very well, it seems that these Zhao people were only bullying those small countries before, but they still showed their timidity when they encountered real big countries."

The King of Chu also mocked the State of Zhao without hesitation. Although it is true that the King of Chu is afraid of the State of Zhao in his heart, and at the same time he is also very afraid of Zhao Kuo, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao. From any point of view, the king of Chu was very happy to see Zhao Guo's failure.

It's just that this time, because Ma Jingyang, the chief minister of Chu State who was most opposed to Zhao State, had already led the army and horses, so although there were some people who responded to the King of Chu in this hall, they were not so ranked after all.

This inevitably made King Chu a little unhappy.

If it is an ordinary person, even if this person is unhappy, at most he will curse quietly and can't do anything.

But King Chu is different. King Chu is the supreme ruler of the huge Chu country. When he is unhappy, he can of course find a few people to play with. hatred.

The King of Chu looked left and right, and finally fixed his gaze on Chun Shenjun.

The reason why it was Chunshenjun was actually very simple, because Chunshenjun was the most staunch supporter of Zhao Guoyi's faction.

Now Zhao Guo has put so much psychological pressure on the king of Chu, and the king of Chu wants to vent, who else can he turn to if he doesn't look for Mr. Chunshen?

Don't look at Jun Chunsheng is the most trusted minister of the King of Chu on weekdays, but a king is a king. When the King of Chu wants to play tricks on Chun Shen Jun, Chun Shen Jun must follow up honestly.

The King of Chu said calmly, "Mr. Chunshen, what do you think of Zhao's failures?"

Chunshen Jun was also taken aback for a moment after hearing King Chu's words.
