Since he had not visited the front line in person for many years, Li Bing, the governor of Shu County of Qin, actually made a very obvious mistake when he made the last decision in his life.

As the county magistrate of Shu County, after the construction of Dujiangyan, Li Bing's prestige among the people of Shu County can be said to be very high and unparalleled.

Then the question is, when Li Bing dies, who can take over Li Bing's banner, continue to unite everyone in Shu County, and continue to fight with the Zhao army to the end?

From the perspective of post-speculation, if Li Bing could retreat in time and call on the people of Shu County to continue to rise and resist the Zhao army, the Zhao army would suffer a lot of trouble in its advancement in Bashu.

Indeed, the explosives owned by the Zhao army can easily destroy all the city walls, but after the city walls are destroyed, it is impossible for people to kill them all, right?

As long as there are people who resist, it will be a big trouble for the Zhao army, and this is especially true for the Zhao officials who will go south to govern here in the future.

Even Zhao Kuo was stunned after hearing that Li Bing died in Jiameng Pass in battle, and then concluded: "This result is actually very good, second only to Li Bing's surrender to us."

After Li Bing died, his son Li Erlang woke up in a hurry in his sleep.

Originally, Li Erlang had the opportunity to escape from Jiameng Pass, but after hearing that Li Bing had rushed to the front line, Li Erlang, with red eyes, immediately brought all his subordinates to rescue his father.

However, in front of the elite Zhao army who flocked in, Li Erlang's result was destined to be as futile as his father. He eventually died less than 500 steps away from his father, and he was unable to see his father for the last time before his death.

The death of the Li family and his son made the Qin defenders of Jiameng Pass, who had been in chaos because the wall was destroyed by explosives, completely lost control and were completely in chaos.

The Zhao army advanced wildly, and in just half an hour, the Qin army in Jiameng Pass was defeated and could only escape in large numbers.

Another hour passed, when the first light from the horizon emerged from the east, Li Mu, the chief general of the Zhao army, was already standing on the wall.

Looking at the inside of Jiameng Pass in front of me, the bodies of Qin soldiers were everywhere.

A little farther away, many Qin army prisoners were dejected and gathered at the orders of the Zhao army soldiers and took them away to guard them.

Finally, Li Mu took his eyes back to his feet, and there were two corpses, namely Li Bing and Li Erlang.

Li Mu said: "I heard that Li Bing was actually from us Zhao before?"

Sima Shang, who was beside Li Mu, said: "Some people also say that he is from Longxi County, but his mother is from Zhao."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Forget it, whether my father or mother is from Zhao, it doesn't matter now.

Although this father and son are enemies, they are loyal and brave after all, so let’s be buried with great funeral.”

Sima Shang curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "General, this is wrong with you. Since you are an enemy, just dig a hole and bury it casually. Why do you still have a grand burial?"

Li Mu glared at Sima Shang and said, "Can't you use your brain to think about the problem?"

The reason for the grand burial was of course because the reputation of Li Bing and his son was very high in Shu County. So after we buried them with great burial, the people in Shu County would have some good impression of us.

If you crush Li Bing and his son, you will definitely hold a grudge against us and even find ways to kill our soldiers and officials. Is this the result you want?"

Sima Shang was stunned for a few seconds and said stubbornly: "So what? If the Qin people really dare to attack us Zhao people, then we will just kill them back?"

Li Mu shook his head, looking angry and said, "When will the revenge be repaid?

This will not help you to conquer the hearts of the people in Shu.

Let me tell you, don’t think that if I become a general now, everything will be fine.

I don’t know how many people in the world want to serve the Lord. If you don’t have any brains to do anything and have to make a lot of trouble for the Lord to deal with, do you think the Lord will still like to use us to fight in the future?

You should not be short-sighted when doing things, but you should be more long-term!”

After hearing this, Sima Shang opened his mouth wide and looked at Li Mu without speaking for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little proud: "How about it, are you impressed by the political wisdom of this general?"

Sima Shang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, let's not hide it from the general, the general has never thought before that the general will have political wisdom!"

With a bang, Li Mu kicked Sima Shang directly on the butt: "Listen to what you said, is this human word?"

Jiameng Pass was captured, and Li Mu's 70,000 troops were no longer bound by any restrictions and immediately swept south.

Two days later, Langzhong City was surrounded and captured two hours later.

After conquering Langzhong City, Li Mu originally planned to divide his troops into two groups, attacking Ba County in the east and Shu County in the west, but at this time, Zhao Kuo's order changed Li Mu's idea.

Zhao Kuo is about to arrive at Jiameng Pass.

After hearing the news, Li Mu waited in Langzhong for two days very calmly.

When Zhao Kuo arrived, he saw Li Mu still in Langzhong, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "You didn't even go to fight Chengdu?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "What the Lord said is wrong. Didn't you personally tell me not to be too eager to make progress?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and laughed: "I'm just afraid that you will fight too quickly, so I will hit the south of Bashu."

Others may not be able to do it, but for Li Mu, it is normal to penetrate the entire Bashu in minutes.

Li Mu held his head up and said, "The Lord is a misunderstanding of the minister. I am a very obedient minister."

Zhao Kuo didn't say nonsense and reassigned the task: "I will fight Chengdu, and you will take Ba County to Ben Hu."

When Li Mu heard this, he immediately felt bitter: "Ba County is full of poor mountains and bad waters, so it's not easy to fight."

Zhao Kuo glared at Li Mu: "Didn't you always have the most difficult task?

When you defeat Ba County, you will definitely be the one who will lead the troops next time you destroy Chu State, otherwise you can do it yourself."

When Li Mu heard this, he jumped up: "Can you lead the troops next time you fight Chu?

Lord, don’t worry, this little mountain minibus, see how I kill them!”

Looking at Li Mu's back as he was leaving excitedly, Su Li suddenly said, "Master, this guy is probably waiting for your words."

Zhao Kuo nodded slowly and smiled: "Yes, this kid has learned bad things."

But Zhao Kuo still had half of his words in his heart and did not say them.

Although he has learned bad things, he has also matured! A mature Li Mu is what Zhao Kuo is more willing to see.

Two days later, Pi County was conquered.

Three days later, Linqiong and Puyang were conquered.

Seven days later, Yandao City, the southwest city in Qin State, was conquered.

At this point, all the cities in Shu County fell into the hands of Zhao Jun.

Half a month later, Li Mu also received good news.

After wandering around the mountains and rivers of Ba County for several days, Li Mu finally found an opportunity. Under the guidance of a nightingale spy who pretended to be a businessman, he attacked the place where the leaders of several major tribes of Ba people gathered and discussed, and captured the leadership of the Ba people in one fell swoop.

After this battle, the Ba people were greatly injured and had to choose to surrender to Li Mu and Zhao.

At this point, the entire territory of Ba County and Shu County of Qin were completely controlled by Zhao.

In other words, all the territory of Qin State had been captured by Zhao State, and a small part of the territory was occupied by Chu State.

Today, Qin State has no more than an inch of land. In other words, Qin State has officially declared its demise!

The demise of Qin may be just a matter of little difference to the demise of other vassal states for the people of this era, but for Zhao Kuo, it is of great significance.

Since the time travel, Zhao Kuo has always regarded Qin as his biggest opponent in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Qin State will not perish for a day, and Zhao Kuo dared not say that he was safe all day long.

But now, with the demise of Qin, Zhao Kuo has completely calmed down.

Apart from Zhao, there is only one Chu state among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, and it is still breathing.

Can Chu State defeat Zhao Kuo?

It is absolutely impossible to know without thinking.

The Zhao State under Zhao Kuo is now more powerful than the Qin State under Qin Shihuang in history.

And what about Chu?

Xiang Yan, the most capable person in Chu State in history, is now under Zhao Kuo's command.

So, why should Chu State compete with Zhao Kuo?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh and smiled at Su Li beside him, "The Qin State is destroyed, and the momentum of unifying the world is accomplished!"

Su Li looked at Zhao Kuo with a look of respect in his eyes, and said seriously: "Only a talented person like Jun Hou can achieve such an unprecedented hegemony!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly.

After pacifying Bashu, Zhao Kuo waited in Chengdu for a few more days.

During these days, Zhao Kuo was not idle either. He first used various news channels to eradicate a group of hard-working supporters of Qin, and then ordered Li Mu to launch another surprise attack on the Ba people, so that the Ba people would be wiped out.

Finally, after the officials sent by Zhao State arrived in Chengdu one after another, Zhao Kuo went out to give some advice to these officials.

"In Xianyang, we can be gentle with the Qin people.

But here, we have to be tough, do you understand?

This is a border area, with the Qiang people on the west, the Yi people on the south, and the Chu people on the east. If you are not tough enough, you will be swallowed by them with the belt and bones.

Therefore, our square formation here is also very simple, just one word - kill! Those who don't accept it will die! Whoever does not accept it, then we will kill until they are convinced! Don't worry about insufficient troops. This will leave you enough troops to make you kill a world here!"

In Zhao Kuo's murderous words, there is actually a mystery.

The Bashu Basin is actually an excellent training site. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is to the west, the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains to the south, and the Two Lakes Plain to the east.

Training here will provide support for conquering the west, south and east in the future.

If that's the case, what are you waiting for if you don't ignite the war?

Zhao Kuo looked at these three directions on the map, as if flames were burning in his eyes.
