A few days later, Zhao Kuo led an army of 200,000 and set off in a mighty manner.

Almost at the same time Zhao Kuo sent troops, Xu Li also led another 200,000 army to the south, preparing to resist the attack of the Chu people.

So now the only four remaining countries in the entire Chinese world are once again involved in the war.

With a 600,000 army and a young and strong man following these armies, Zhao State dispatched nearly 2 million laborers at one time, which is a very amazing number.

Even though the population of Zhao has already exceeded 10 million and approached 20 million, it is definitely a very huge action to use more than 10% of the population at one time.

The city of Handan is much deserted, mainly because the men at home are all going to fight, leaving only children, elderly and women.

But even so, everyone in Zhao State is still very energetic. Everyone does not have the fear or hesitation after the war. Instead, a person's face is more excited and expectant.

After all, over the past few years, Zhao State has been winning streaks in a row.

Of course, Zhao State did not mean that it had never failed. However, Lian Po, the general who often led Zhao State's army to defeat wars, had already been removed from his post at this time, so this also enhanced everyone's self-confidence from another perspective.

Even King Zhao in the palace nodded with satisfaction after hearing the eunuch's orders about these folk news, and boasted at Queen Li very much.

"You will see it later. This is Zhao State under my rule.

With such strong and confident people, the people believe that we can win, and I will eventually become the first man to unify the world in the history of the entire Chinese nation."

King Zhao's words can be said to be full of confidence and fighting spirit.

Regarding King Zhao's words, Queen Li naturally had a charming look and all kinds of charms made King Zhao fully feel what a man's confidence is.

Zhao Kuo set out. This time, there was no Xu Li or Li Mu around him, only Su Li.

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that there is only one Su Li.

After all, with Zhao Kuo's development over the years, most of the generals of Zhao Kuo's 200,000 elite troops this time followed Zhao Kuo's battles in the south and north for many years, and it can be said that they know each other's roots.

When Zhao Kuo was resting that day, he sat alone in the handsome tent and quietly stared at the map in front of him.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and Zhao Kuo heard that this was Su Li's footsteps, so he did not look up.

Su Li walked in and reported to Zhao Kuo respectfully.

"Master, the news I just received was that after leaving Yin Jin for about a hundred miles, the Qin people stationed on the spot and stopped moving forward."

Zhao Kuo paused slightly, looked east along Yin Jin on the map, and soon saw a city.

The name of this city is Pingshu.

Pingshu City is not a big city, but its geographical location is still quite critical. If the Qin people can take over this place, they can pose a huge threat to Hangu Pass, which is more eastward.

From this perspective, it is indeed quite wise for the Qin people to station outside this city, because this city is located in the middle of Yinjin City and Hangu Pass.

"What's going on in Pingshu City now?"

Zhao Kuo asked.

Su Li replied: "There are 5,000 defenders in Pingshu City. According to normal circumstances, it should be difficult for the Qin people to conquer them all at once.

As long as we get there, the Qin people should have to withdraw from the encirclement."

Zhao Kuo looked at it and said that from the map, the main force of the 200,000 Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo now only takes 3 to 4 days to arrive in Pingshu City.

This is actually a bit strange, because Zhao Kuo thinks that if the calculation is based on this situation, the Qin people's siege speed and attack speed would be too slow.

But soon after careful thinking, Zhao Kuo, who came to the conclusion, suddenly laughed again.

"It seems that the Qin people are actually more worried about failure this time than us."

Needless to think about it, the one who takes over the real command of Qin this time must be the most popular general of Qin, Wang Jian, recently.

Wang Jian is not the kind of conservative person, but under his command, the Qin army showed such conservative appearance, which proves that Wang Jian should have obtained the instruction from a higher-level leader, that is, King Ying Zichu of Qin, to make him fight steadily and not fail.

Since this is the case, Zhao Kuo doesn't need to be so anxious.

As long as we steadily spend some time on the front line with the Chu people, we can go back to our respective homes after Qi has decided on the victory or defeat.

From the perspective of Zhao Kuo and Zhao, although it will waste a certain amount of troops and logistics materials here with the Qin people, it will definitely not lose money overall.

Because as long as time continues to be consumed, Li Mu will be able to destroy Qi State.

The demise of Qi is definitely a big profit for Zhao, while Qin and Chu will lose another ally, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

If that is the case, why should Zhao Kuo worry about procrastination?

No need to worry at all.

Zhao Kuo issued an order calmly.

"This time, the Qin people want to make steady progress, so of course we must continue to make steady progress like the Chu people. We must not disappoint our Qin people."

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

As the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, Li Mu also issued an order these days, allowing his Zhao army to launch multiple attacks on the Changguo City in front of him.

But Kuang Liang in Changguo City was the son of Kuang Zhang, the former Qi army Shen, after all. He did learn a lot from his father, at least in terms of defense, he did not allow Li Mu to gain any advantage.

This made Li Mu feel a little uneasy, because it had been half a month, but Li Mu had no progress at all. This was indeed impossible for the arrogant Li Mu.

"How can we break through this damn city?"

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

Just in front of Li Mu, countless Zhao's catapults and city rushing cars were operating continuously, and many Zhao soldiers were holding tall ladders in their hands, wanting to climb onto the city wall like ants to occupy the city.

But right in front of them, countless soldiers of Qi were fighting bravely. They used the blades in their hands to kill any soldiers of Zhao who wanted to enter the city.

Although he had paid a heavy price, in general, there were fewer casualties in Qi.

Li Mu looked at the situation and silently gave an order after a while: "Okay, don't let them continue to attack, the stars should withdraw their troops."

Soon, the extremely sharp sound of gold sounded across the entire battlefield. After hearing this sound, many soldiers of Zhao retreated one after another, left the battlefield, and began to return to the Zhao army camp.

After seeing this scene, the cheers of Qi soldiers also sounded above the city of Changguo City.

"Master, we have once again repelled the attack of the people of Zhao!"

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

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

Because he knew very well that this time he actually defeated the people of Zhao, but since the opposite side was Li Mu, who was once the most valued by Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo, it was impossible to give up so much.

After thinking of this, Kuang Liang suddenly felt a little glimmer of gratitude in his heart.

"Fortunately, because of the internal strife among the people of Zhao, Wu Xinjun was not able to come here this time.

Otherwise, if Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo led his army to come in person, he really didn't know what to do."

Kuang Liang had personally fought with Zhao Kuo, so he could better understand how magical Zhao Kuo was.

If other opponents in this world have traces of their ideas, then Zhao Kuo is completely different.

Zhao Kuo's use of troops truly verified the saying of Sun Tzu's Art of War: "There is no constant force in the war, and the water is no constant form."

No one knows where Zhao Kuo will use troops next. Many times, Zhao Kuo uses troops to be elusive and cannot be guarded against.

Sometimes, even though he knew where Zhao Kuo might use troops, he had no choice but to watch his troops being penetrated.

When facing Zhao Kuo, Kuang Liang always feels like a child is facing adults, that is, he is being beaten and played with in all aspects.

Kuang Liang took a deep breath and took back his whole thoughts.

No matter what, since you are not facing Zhao Kuo now, there is no need to worry.

Next, let’s see what Li Mu can do.

Although Kuang Liang had no confidence at all when he met Zhao Kuo, when he was not facing Zhao Kuo, but when he was facing Li Mu, Kuang Liang felt that he could still have a collision with Li Mu.

Li Mu sat in the handsome tent that night, thinking quietly alone without saying anything.

At this moment, a report from outside the commander's tent came into Li Mu's ears.

"General, someone is coming from Handan."

When Li Mu heard the report from his guard captain, he was shocked.

The sentence just now sounded quite normal, but in fact it was a mystery.

If the captain of the guards was talking about "Handan Palace", it refers to news from the King of Zhao or official Zhao State.

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

"Hurry, 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 is no one."

What Han Fei said about no one is not that there is no one under Zhao Kuo, but that the only person who can bear this responsibility in such a major matter and can make Li Mu trust enough is Han Fei now.

The relationship between Li Mu and Han Fei is quite good. On the one hand, Li Mu is out of respect for intellectuals, and on the other hand, Han Fei is also in love with Li Mu.
