This news immediately moved everyone.

Li Si gasped and the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground.

The Qin people actually retreated?

This shouldn't be! The Qin people's siege was so fierce, and they had the hope of breaking Zhiyi as long as they persisted for a while.

Wait, what am I thinking?

Li Si came to his senses and happened to see that Zhao Kuo had walked out of the door.

"Quick, let's go up to the city wall to take a look!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Kuo, with many confidants and General Zhao, climbed the city wall and looked towards the Qin army camp.

The Qin people were indeed retreating, and teams of Qin troops drove out of the camp and headed towards the west.

Many Qin State's military craftsmen were working hard to demolish the camp that had stood outside Zhiyi City for two months.

Seeing this scene, a huge cheer suddenly burst out from the city wall.

"The Qin people retreated!"

"We have defeated the Qin people!"

"Big Zhao is Big Zhao, no one will lose to Qin!"

Many people smiled and their eyes were involuntarily turned to Zhao Kuo.

After two whole months of battle in Zhiyi’s city defense, only those who have experienced it know how hard it is.

These soldiers were just county soldiers before, and they actually had no experience in such cruel combat.

If it weren't for Wu Xinjun's command and wise dispatch, if Wu Xinjun hadn't visited the front line every day to boost morale, if Wu Xinjun hadn't often visited the wounded barracks to visit patients, if it weren't... everyone knew that if Wu Xinjun hadn't, Zhiyi would have fallen long ago! Zhao Kuo also breathed a sigh of relief, but unlike everyone else, Zhao Kuo's heart was actually a different thought.

Li Mu, this marquis did not read you wrongly, you did not disappoint this marquis! At this moment, Li Si suddenly spoke: "Why did the Qin army retreat for no reason? Could it be that the Empress Dowager met with the Qin people?"

Li Si actually had a guess in his mind, and that guess was consistent with Zhao Kuo's idea.

But Li Si refused to admit this speculation, so he simply threw out another speculation.

After Li Si finished speaking, everyone present suddenly became confused.

Due to the siege of the city, everyone in Zhiyi City has not contacted the outside world for a long time.

So, everyone was thinking.

"Maybe Chu is attacking Qin!"

"It may also be the Han army, the Wei army came to help under the order of the Empress Dowager!"

"Maybe it's not necessarily because the King of Qin suddenly died."

Everyone discussed it all over the place, but finally turned their eyes to Zhao Kuo, waiting for Zhao Kuo to give the final answer.

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Actually you all thought it was wrong.

The reason why the Qin people withdrew their troops this time was because General Li Mu had achieved remarkable results in Guanzhong, so the Qin people had to withdraw their troops."

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized and spoke to praise Li Mu.

"It turned out to be General Li Mu."

"But it's not surprising that everyone has seen General Li Mu's command ability."

"Yes, yes, General Li Mu is very strong."

Listening to the praise of Li Mu, Li Si's eyelids beside Zhao Kuo kept beating, and an emotion called jealousy in his heart quietly fermented.

I, Li Si, have also done a lot of work. Why don’t everyone know that Li Mu and Li Mu every day without seeing my contribution! Li Si finally couldn’t help but feel jealousy in his heart and made a speech: “The Lord is too concerned about General Li Mu, right?

As for me, he only has 10,000 cavalrymen. Can he really do something decent in Guanzhong, Qin?"

Li Si's identity was also quite sensitive, so when he spoke like this, everyone immediately shut up.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Si with some surprise, obviously not expecting that Li Si would question Li Mu.

A few seconds later, Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Li Si, you are leading the army, so you don't understand where Li Mu's abilities lie.

However, you should understand it soon.”

Li Si did not speak anymore, but his expression of dissatisfaction was clearly shown.

Xu Li asked from the side: "Master, what should we do next?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and pointed to the Qin army camp not far away: "The Qin people withdrew their troops, which is indeed a good thing.

But this marquis has a problem. Hedong County is the land of Da Zhao. Do the Qin people leave when they want to come?

If that is the case, I will not agree!”

A clear light flashed in Zhao Kuo's eyes.

What a joke, no one really thinks that this marquis has worked hard to defend the city here for two months just to resist the attack of the Qin people, right?

But Zhao Kuo did not immediately rush to launch troops.

On the one hand, the Zhiyi army, which had just experienced the war, needed to rest for a few days, and on the other hand, Zhao Kuo also needed to obtain new information from the outside world.

Only after doing these two things did Zhao Kuo continue to attack.

Needless to say, the rest is the matter. In terms of intelligence, both the Zhao government and the Nightingale system have been waiting outside Zhiyi City for many days. Now that Zhiyi has rescued the siege, they have also arrived in Zhiyi as fast as possible.

It was not until this time that everyone in Zhiyi City, including Zhao Kuo, knew what happened in Guanzhong, Qin State during the two months when Zhiyi was surrounded.

Surprising Jingyang City, burning Gaoling City, and defeating the garrison, this is the answer given by Li Mu to lead 10,000 cavalry in the heart of Guanzhong, Qin State! Even Zhao Kuo couldn't help but show a surprised expression after hearing this, and only laughed after a few seconds: "Li Mu, it's true that he is Li Mu!"

This was indeed in Zhao Kuo's plan, but Zhao Kuo did not expect that Li Mu would complete it successfully, and even completed it even better than Zhao Kuo expected.

Li Si, who was sitting on the other side, also felt a storm in his heart, and he was completely stunned.

This Li Mu...is he really that strong?

It's impossible! Li Si wanted to shout, scold Li Mu, and question Li Mu's achievements.

But Li Si couldn't say anything in the end.

Because Li Si knew very well that Li Mu's achievements were all true! Li Si's expression gradually became a little distorted.

A fact that he couldn't accept was right in front of him.

Until now, Li Mu is indeed Li Si, not Li Si.

It can even be said that it was Li Mu's outstanding performance that saved Li Si's life in Zhiyi City! Li Si, immersed in failure, did not notice that Zhao Kuo had actually looked at Li Si several times without hesitation, but said nothing.

Some things can only be realized by yourself! If you can't understand them, you can only blame him for being too stupid.

Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Send the order to rest for three days, and go to the war in three days to attack Guanzhong, Qin!"
