Chapter 24 Attack (6)
Just as the Zhao army and Yan army were in Daijun and Yan army, the two armies were at a strife. In the city of Bairen in Zhao State, a small school wearing Zhao army uniforms took two horses to Li Mu's mansion.
The school came to the front gate of Li Mu's mansion, jumped off the horse, and said to the two servants at the door:
"Under General Li of Shino, the general has a family letter to come to me, please go and report it."
The two servants at the door didn't feel anything strange. Li Mu often sent me a message like this in the past.
"Please wait, I'll report now." A servant told the small school road.
"I'm working hard." The school thanked the young school clasped its fists.
After a while, an old housekeeper came out of the door and told the school:
"Since you are under the general's command, the old lady lets you in, please."
"Thank you, butler." The school bowed.
"You don't have to be polite, go in quickly." The old housekeeper who came out of the Li family greeted the small school road.
This primary school is Wang Fenghai, the head of the Yan State Intelligence Bureau in Zhao State.
When he arrived at the hall in front, Wang Fenghai saw a gray hair sitting in front of the hall, but his eyes looked very energetic. A woman in her fifties could not hide her beauty.
This school knows that this woman is Li Mu's mother, Li Liu.
Wang Fenghai knelt on his knees and worshiped Li Liu's grand ceremony: "Word to the old lady."
Li Liu quickly said to Wang Fenghai: "Please get up quickly, there is no need to do so."
"Thank you, old lady." Wang Fenghai stood bent.
Then he took out a wrapped silk from his arms, raised his hands, and asked the old housekeeper next to him to hand it to Li Liu.
Wang Fenghai's operation has gained the favor of Li Liu.
He did not let Wang Fenghai avoid it, and he unfolded the silk on the spot and looked at it.
After seeing the contents on the silk, Li Liu couldn't help but frown.
After thinking for a while, he waved his hand to let the old housekeeper next to him retreat.
Then he said to Wang Fenghai: "You general asked you to take people and secretly escort me to Yanmen?"
Wang Fenghai quickly bowed to Li Liu and said, "Yes, old lady. When he came down, the general personally informed his subordinates that the Yan army invaded our Zhao State and that once the war began, Bai Ren was the only place for the Yan army to go to Handan."
"The general was very concerned about his family in northern Xinjiang, so he asked his subordinates to bring people here and arranged for the old lady and his wife to go to Yanmen in person. Please prepare quickly and make a decision."
The font on the silk is indeed Li Mu's handwriting, and the old lady has no doubts.
As for Li Mu's letter, he said that he would not let others know and secretly go to Yanmen. In the eyes of the old lady Li Liu, it is also necessary and necessary in the current season.
Besides, when Qin State besieged Handan last time, Li Mu wrote to worry that he also asked his family to prepare for it. If Handan was lost, he would go to Yanmen to hide from the war immediately.
Now the rumors that Yan State was preparing to send troops to Handan have long been circulated by the people of Zhao State.
The people of Zhao State, including Li Mu's family, were also very worried.
Li Liu nodded and sighed to Wang Fenghai:
"Oh! There is no peaceful day in this world. In this way, I'll be in trouble. You go down and prepare first. After discussing with my family, I will go to Yanmen immediately with you."
Wang Fenghai was overjoyed and quickly bowed and said, "I will wait for the old lady's instructions at any time."
Two days later, Li Mu's mother, Li Liu, Li Mu's wife and family left Bairen City in the name of visiting relatives, accompanied by Wang Fenghai, who was dressed as Zhao Jun Primary School.
In order to make the trip go smoothly, the entire intelligence agency of Yan State in Zhao State was fully operational.
Li Mu stood on the city tower of Pingcheng and looked at the Yan army that was coming.
In the Yan army's camp, countless flags were flying, and the Yan army under the flags were stacked layer by layer. The armor and weapons they were holding reflected lights under the sunlight.
The square formations arranged by the Yan army in front of the camp were very neat, stepping forward, making a thunderous roar. Between the square formations, the Yan army's repelled troops and explored horses, galloping back and forth, conveying orders.
This red torrent-like army slowly came towards Pingcheng. When it was about two miles away from Pingcheng, a roar like a tsunami came from the Yan army's formation.
"My army wins thousands! Wins thousands! Wins thousands!"
The Yan army in front was on guard, and the Yan army in the rear began to build a camp. More than 100,000 people worked together. In less than an hour, a camp that spanned 100,000 miles was completed.
It was not over yet. Li Mu, Sima Shang and other generals of Zhao State, saw many Yan troops coming out. In front of the Yan army camp, holding shiny steel shovels and other objects, they began to dig trenches again.
After digging the trench, on one side of the trench, the "barbed wire" that Li Mu only learned about later began to be laid out.
The Yan army camps were stationed under the city and the order was clear. The Yan army camps that were stationed in Anzhai looked very reliable.
Sima Shang and other generals of Zhao State on the Pingcheng City Tower, including Li Mu himself, all looked gloomy when they saw this. The momentum of the Yan army really surprised Li Mu and others.
Sima Shang, the deputy general standing beside Li Mu, couldn't help but sigh and said to Li Mu:
"General, the Yan army is really coming in a fierce manner. The last general really can't understand it. The Yan army now has become like this, with such momentum. This looks much more powerful than the Huns in the north!"
Sima Shang's words were also the voice of other Zhao generals on the city tower.
Li Mu's face became even more gloomy. He looked around the general of Zhao's army and said slowly:
"Dear generals, the Yan army invaded our Yanmen, and our army had only one battle. Although the Yan army had 200,000, our army had 150,000, and we fought on the city, so why should we be afraid of the Tao!"
Speaking of this, Li Mu had already had some conspiracy in his mind and said to the generals:
"The Yan army was coming and its momentum was in full swing. Our army did not have to compete with it. If the Yan army challenged, our army would not leave. As long as our army defended Pingcheng, the Yan army would not think about entering our Yanmen and Yunzhong counties."
"No." The general of Zhao responded with a loud bang.
Lejian led the army, and after resting for a night, he lined up under Pingcheng City to challenge the Zhao army.
With a drum sound, the Yan army sent more than 3,000 people and a brigade of infantrymen shouting and shouting.
This is also a convention in this era. Before the war between the two armies, they sent small armies to confront each other to test their combat power.
On the podium set up in front of the Yan army, musicians held up the telescope in their hands and looked at it.
I saw that there were Zhao troops on the top of Pingcheng City, but the city gate was closed and there was no intention of opening it at all.
After the Yan army yelled for a while, a big wooden sign was hung from the top of Pingcheng City.
On this wooden sign, only two big words "free from battle".
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Lejian said to the generals of Yan State such as Rong Yan beside him:
"As expected, Li Mu is just the word "tolerance"."
Rong Yan, who was beside Lejian, burst into laughter and said to Lejian:
"General, Li Mu is just a big turtle when he does this!"
When the generals heard this, they all burst into laughter.
Lejian glared at Rong Yan fiercely and said to Rong Yan and other generals:
"Li Mu did this just to make you careless now. Do you know how the king evaluated Li Mu?"
Rong Yan and other generals on the podium looked at Lejian together and said in unison: "We don't know."
During the music, his eyes narrowed slightly and said to the generals:
"The king once said that Li Mu has three characteristics to lead troops: first, he treats the soldiers well. Therefore, Li Mu's subordinates are strict and willing to fight to the death; second, he is careful defense. Just like what we see now; third, Li Mu will never fight before he is sure to defeat the enemy."
"Dear generals, we must not relax, nor be careless. The military strategy says: "It is as fast as the wind, its stern as the forest, its invasion is as fire, its non-moving as mountains, it is difficult to know as the yin, its movement is as thunder." Speaking of people like Li Mu!"
"Once our army is caught by Li Mu, Li Mu will inevitably launch a fatal blow to our army."
Speaking of this, he shouted to the generals of the Yan army during his joy: "All the generals obey the orders."
All the Yan soldiers on the podium heard this while listening to the music, and knelt on one knee: "The last one will obey the order."
Lejian glanced at the generals and shouted: "I will pass on the orders of this general. Our army should not attack rashly, wait for the subsequent arrangements."
The generals looked at each other, but did not dare to say anything more, so they could only say in unison: "We obey the order."
Just when the Yan army led by Lejian was confronting the army led by Li Mu in Pingcheng, Ji Kang and Queen Su Ya of Yan personally met Li Mu's mother Li Liu and Li Mu's wife in the palace.
After Li Liu met Ji Kang and Queen Su Ya of Yan, his mind was still "confused".
She never thought that she would be taken to Jidu.
"Let the old lady and his wife come to our Yan State. If you offend me, please forgive me. Later, my mother will hold a banquet in person to entertain the old lady and his wife. When I arrive, I will apologize to the old lady and his wife."
Ji Kang said softly to Li Liu and Li Mu's wife.
Facing the young king in front of him, Li Liu didn't know what to say.
After looking at his daughter-in-law next to him, he was also dumbfounded at this time.
The two women had never seen any king of the world before, but they saw King Ji Kang of Yan at this time.
Seeing this, Ji Kang smiled and said bluntly to Li Mu's mother, Li Liu:
"Old lady, I heard that Lingsi Li Mu is a genius in the world. Lingsi was in Yunzhong, led troops to fight against the Huns and made countless military achievements. However, the king of Zhao did not value Lingsi and scolded him more."
"This is like a beautiful jade falling into the mud. I am really sorry. I don't want to deceive the old lady. Now I will bring the old lady and my family to Jidu. I just want General Li Mu to submit to my Yan State. I will give it more."
"I am sorry to ask the old lady to write a letter to let her submit to our Yan State. I will send someone to meet General Li Mu alone. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, I will treat the old lady and her family well. Please rest assured."
Li Mu's reputation at this time is not very big.
Seeing Ji Kang attaching so much importance to Li Mu, Li Liu was also very moved.
After careful consideration, he wrote a letter to Li Mu.
