Li Mu stared at the city in the distance, his eyes full of anger.

Li Mu had never fought such a frustrating battle. His soldiers were mainly cavalry and could not be used in this mountainous area. Fortunately, there were many infantry soldiers who were good at shooting. But the problem was that the weapons of Qin were more advanced than before. Their powerful crossbows and strong bows were now above the Zhao army. Although the gap may not be very large, when the number gap appeared, Zhao's archers could only be suppressed tightly.

Qin State has at least tens of thousands of shooters, and these people can each carry a spare crossbow and strong bow. In terms of arrows, Qin State is also well prepared, but it is almost impossible to stop shooting. On Zhao State, the range is not as good as the other party, the number is not as good as the other party, and the arrows are even less than that of Zhao State... This makes Zhao State's siege a very difficult thing, and there is no way to approach and suppress Qin State's shooters.

Lian Po was like this. The army was suppressed by shooters and could only send chariots to cut, no longer giving Qin a chance to shoot Zhao Zhu. Therefore, Li Mu chose field battle. In such an unfavorable terrain, neither the chariots nor the cavalry of both sides could play a big role, but this was more acceptable than siege. However, Li Mu soon discovered that even in field battles, the opponent's advantage was huge.

From weapons and equipment to the organizational strength of the army, even if Li Mu cut them apart, the Qin people could fight according to small units and not collapse. Moreover, these generals of the Qin State were very cautious, not as blind as the Hu people, and could hardly find flaws. The gaps in these aspects were irreparable to the generals. Li Mu did hit the Qin people, but this was useless. The Qin people just made steady progress, forcing Li Mu to retreat repeatedly.

The Qin people almost didn't need any strategy, nor did they raid or ambush. They just advanced slowly and eroded little by little. At this moment, Li Mu seemed to truly understand the "gap in national strength" that Zhao Kuo once said. When they followed Zhao Kuo in Changping, Zhao Kuo once told Li Mu that he could not defeat the enemy even if he replaced Lian Po. This was not because of the general, but because of the gap in national strength.

Because of the huge gap in national strength, even Wang Yi can beat Lian Po in Shangdang and retreat.

Li Mu finally felt this. Although he brought out the food from Yunzhong and Yanmen, the food could not last for too long... The Qin army walked faster than him, shot farther than him, the armor and shields were stronger than him, and the food was more... Just when Qin was about to enter the plains and was in the terrain that was beneficial to Li Mu, the Qin people suddenly stopped the attack, which made Li Mu even more angry.

It seems that they know more than themselves.

The Qin people knew about the situation of Zhao in advance and made proper arrangements, but Zhao knew nothing about Qin, and Li Mu didn't even know Meng Ao's real position!!

Qin stopped the attack, but Zhao had no way to recover the lost territory... King Zhao could only accept the failure helplessly and ordered the army to return to defend all places to prevent Qin from raiding again.

This war caused the young Li Mu to be pondered. How can we defeat Qin?

Zhao Kuo named her Shan.

I hope she can become a girl as kind as her mother.

The little guy was born with chubby cheeks, his cheeks were bulging, and his crying was very loud. Strangely, whenever Zhao Kuo hugged her, she stopped crying... Zhao Kuo hugged her, often walking around the courtyard without feeling tired. Zhao Zheng was the happiest. He had been worried that his mother would have another younger brother. Of course, Zhao Kang and Cheng Chuang were also very happy, but they were more curious.

Like Zhao Zheng when he was young, Zhao Kang asked his father every day when his sister could grow up?

Zhao Zheng occasionally hugged his sister, but Zhao Kang and Cheng Chuang were not good at all. They were too young, and Zhao Kuo dared not let them hug him, for fear of breaking it. The birth of the little guy brought a lot of joy to the family. Zhao Kuo favored this daughter very much, holding the little guy all day long and telling her stories, regardless of whether she could understand it. Zhao Kuo felt that it seemed as if his life had become more fulfilling and there were no regrets.

Zhao Zheng is not always at home. Sometimes he will follow Zhan to the wilderness, and sometimes he will visit Han Fei. In recent days, he has often visited Li Si, probably because his father admires this Li Si. Zheng is still young and visits are not to make friends, but to ask for advice. Zhao Zheng is very good at listening to others' teachings, and Li Si has also given him a lot of help.

Everyone still respects this heir to the empire.

Finally, Zhao Zheng even visited Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei welcomed him very much. Moreover, he was a very rare person who did not treat Zhao Zheng as a child. The other ministers treated him as a child, let their children accompany him to play, or just told him something in the tone of an elder. Only Lu Buwei would let Zhao Zheng sit in front of him and talk about the situation in the world very formally.

This made Zhao Zheng feel very fond of Lu Buwei, and the two often talked about the future situation.

Lu Buwei said: "The Qin State does not need to rush to attack other countries. Now, the people of Qin State are gradually becoming richer, household registration continues to increase, equipment becomes more advanced, and the gap with the six countries is also expanding... At this time, if Qin State can cultivate for a period of time and accumulate strength, when Qin State starts to take action, the six countries will have no power to resist at all..."

Zhao Zheng has different views on this.

When the cold winter came again, Ge fell ill.

That day, he stood up in a daze and was about to feed the horses. He fell outside the manger. The passing Fu shouted, hurriedly carried him up and sent him indoors.

When Zhao Kuo walked into the inner room, Ge was lying on the bed and was unconscious... Zhao Kuo was trembling all over. He couldn't speak. Looking at Ge in front of him, he stretched out his hand, covered his face, took a deep breath, and then looked at Zhao Fu on the side, "Where is the doctor? Have you sent someone to call?" Zhao Fu nodded and said, "Don't worry... There are still many famous doctors in Xianyang City..."

Zhao Kuo stood in front of Ge, just looking at him, breathing deeply, his eyes full of anxiety.

Soon, several people walked into the room and met Zhao Kuo again. They were medical officials in Xianyang. After meeting Zhao Kuo, they began to observe the condition. After observing for a long time, an elderly doctor said, "He is suffering from cold... Don't worry, this can be cured." Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, and several doctors started to make medicine. It took about half an hour before they prepared the medicine.

Zhao Kuo was sitting beside Ge with the medicine in his hand. Zhao Fu helped him, raised his head, and Zhao Kuo fed him medicine little by little.

Zhao's mother supported Yi and rushed over. Zhao's mother was very worried and asked, "Ge? Is he okay?" Looking at her mother's pale face, Zhao Kuo could only stand up and said seriously: "Mother, he is okay, you should take Yi back to rest. He is okay... he has taken medicine..." Zhao Kuo took a lot of effort to convince Zhao's mother and let her take Yi back to her inner room.

The next day, Zhao Kuo was already desperate.

Unexpectedly, Ge opened his eyes.

This made Zhao Kuo cry. He sat beside Ge, just rubbing his eyes, "It's fine if you're fine... It's fine if you're fine." Although Ge woke up, he was still very weak and could not get up. According to the doctor's instructions, Zhao Kuo personally fed him medicine and feed him, which made Ge very uncomfortable. He wanted to refuse several times, but Zhao Kuo did not give him the chance to refuse at all.

"I never treat you as a guest, I always treat you as my elder... You can rest assured to recuperate... and recover soon."

Zhao Zheng and Zhao Kang, have also come several times. Zhao Kang didn't know what happened. He just kissed Ge. Zhao Zheng seemed a little worried. He already knew a lot of things. He was afraid that Ge Gong would leave him. Fortunately, Ge's body gradually improved. However, Zhao Kuo did not dare to let him go out anymore. Ge sat on the bed, shook his head from time to time and sighed. He had no way to take care of his horse, nor could he drive for Zhao Kuo again.

Zhao Kuo's guests came one by one when they heard about Ge.

From Li Yu to Di, they almost came a few times.

Especially Di, he rushed into the courtyard while crying, frightening everyone.

The cold winter gradually passed, and Qin also ushered in the third year of the Qin King's rule. In this year, the Qin King was ready to destroy Wei in one fell swoop. Lu Buwei did not agree with this matter. Lu Buwei still felt that he could occupy several cities of Wei and then end the war. He believed that Qin should pay more attention to internal development. Now Qin is building canals and developing rapidly. Instead of rushing to destroy Wei, it is better to continue to develop a good domestic situation and send troops to destroy the six countries when the troops are strong.

If Qin was determined to destroy Wei, it would definitely cause panic among the six countries.

Unfortunately, Qin's victory over Zhao greatly encouraged the King of Qin. The King of Qin was very confident. Wei's national strength was weak and there was no Lian Po. Generals like Li Mu had absolutely no way to stop Qin. He ignored Lu Buwei's advice and sent Meng Ao again to lead Qin's army, concentrated in Sanchuan County, and prepared to send troops to destroy Wei.

And the proclamation of the King of Wei was also prepared.

In March of that year, Qin brazenly launched a war against Wei.

The King of Wei was frightened and hurriedly asked for help from all the princes.
