857. Success or failure
When Zhao Sheng was about to abandon the city and fight to the death with Li Mu, but Li Mu refused to fight, which made Zhao Sheng very confused.
Neither side knew exactly what the other was going to do, and so the two sides began to stalemate.
Li Mu gave up this opportunity to annihilate Zhao Sheng in one fell swoop, Li Mu did not face the battle, and he Zhao Sheng was not stupid enough to rush into Li Mu's army with his army and commit suicide.
When Li Mu was probing what he was going to do, Zhao Sheng also sent people to see why Li Mu gave up this opportunity to annihilate him in one fell swoop.
In this way, the two armies in Plains City stopped fighting, while in the north, the legions sent out by Li Mu continued to attack.
Li Mu couldn't see what Zhao Sheng was going to do, he was ready to wait for his legion to control the north, go south, merge with his own legion, annihilate Pingyuan City in one fell swoop, and capture Pingyuan City with the advantage of manpower.
And Zhao Sheng saw that Li Mu was not attacking, they simply pulled the army out, set up a position, and fought a decisive battle with it, while Zhao Sheng alone at this time, he still launched a request for help from Zhao He's forces in the south and the Qin army forces in the southwest.
He hoped that while Li Mu did not attack Pingyuan City, he would get the assistance of Zhao He and the Qin State, so as to turn the situation around.
For Zhao Sheng, the only chance to turn his situation around now is that he can get reinforcements from outside, otherwise his lone battle will not be enough to confront Li Mu's army.
To confront it is undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg and bring about its own destruction.
Of course, if the reinforcements don't come, Zhao Sheng won't be too disappointed, after all, he is ready, he is ready to be captured by Li Musheng, and when the time comes, he can secretly take refuge in Zhao Zhang, just look at whether Zhao He attaches importance to him or not.
In the main battlefield of Zhao State, Zhao Cheng's army and Zhao Zhang's Lian Po army continued to stalemate.
Zhao Cheng attacked several times, but unfortunately they all ended in failure, and he couldn't break through Lian Po's defense line at all.
At this time, Zhao Cheng looked at the letter of help in his hand: "This Zhao Sheng is really a waste, he can't even deal with a Li Mu, and he asks me for help!" ”
Because Zhao He is young, basically all affairs are passed in front of Zhao Cheng, not so much that Zhao He is the king, but that Zhao Cheng is the real King Zhao at this time.
For Zhao Sheng's request for help, Zhao Cheng was very disappointed in Zhao Sheng, he hoped that Zhao Sheng could attack Daidi with him, Zhao Sheng attacked from the north, and he attacked from the south, so as to defeat Zhao Zhang of Daidi together.
However, Zhao Zhang sent Li Mu out, and the two sides fought, and Zhao Sheng was defeated in three battles, so that Li Mu was about to control the north of Zhao Land, so that Zhao Zhang's power could be further expanded.
Zhao Cheng was quite disappointed in Zhao Sheng, and felt that this Zhao Sheng was called the first son of Zhao State, which was simply unworthy of the name and exaggerated him Zhao Sheng.
Look at what the first son of Wei did, the first battle turned the tide of Wei State, and he, Zhao Sheng, faced his own family, he was defeated like this in less than a month, and he still needed external rescue.
Zhao Cheng's lieutenant looked at Zhao Cheng and asked, "My lord, should we send some troops to rescue this Zhao Sheng?" ”
"If we don't send troops to rescue, it will be a great disadvantage for us to be able to control the north by Li Mu!" Zhao Cheng's lieutenant looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
"Do you think we have extra troops to support him Zhao Sheng? The north is already an irreparable situation, and even if we go, we will not be able to turn things around! ”
"And we also need troops here, and we are also waiting for reinforcements from the Qin State, so as to unite and break through this Lian Po defense!" Zhao Cheng looked at his lieutenant general and said.
Zhao Cheng did not plan to rescue Zhao Sheng, but planned to stay here and attack Lian Po, he had to wait for Qin's reinforcements, and at this time Qin had already entered Zhao, according to his calculations, at most, in less than half a month, Qin's vanguard troops could join him, and then they could join forces to fight against Lian Po.
And Lian Po's formation is an absolute defensive formation, he does not seek to attack one step, only to defend the other party, he is waiting for the news that Li Mu controls the north, as long as he controls the north, Li Mu goes south, he is attacking, so as to attack Zhao Cheng together.
This is the most advantageous situation for them, and at the same time, the Qi army is making the final support, and Zhao Zhang's position will inevitably be absolutely stable.
Zhao Cheng looked at the map and scolded in his heart: "This Lian Po is worthy of being a famous general with a certain reputation in the empire, we are attacking so strongly and fiercely, but we can't see a trace of response!" ”
These days of attack, he Zhao Cheng is not easy to bear, the loss of troops and generals, the casualties are very heavy, if it is not for the important granaries and sand dunes he holds in Zhao State, it is not enough to confront Zhao Zhang.
The sand dunes are the residence of Zhao Yong, the father of Zhao, but it is also the main storage place of Zhao's granary, where Zhao Yong controls the elite soldiers of Zhao, and at the same time has the most grain and grass of Zhao.
After all, there are granaries and troops, and it must be easy to strike, but what he didn't expect was that he was so well prepared, and he was imprisoned by his own son without showing it.
At this time, in the Dune Palace, Lord Zhao's father was not comfortable, Zhao Cheng ordered people to block the Dune Palace, the people outside couldn't get in at all, the people inside couldn't get out at all, and Zhao Yong was alone inside.
He was inside, the lonely digger's nest, looking at the insects on the ground, his stomach growling.
After Zhao Cheng blocked the Dune Palace, he did not give him a trace of food, and prepared to starve Zhao Yong to death in the Dune Palace.
He felt that since he had already raised troops to rebel, it was better to do things more consciously, murder Zhao Yong, and defeat Zhao Zhang, Zhao He would be able to ascend to the throne very smoothly.
After all, Zhao Zhang and Zhao Yong are dead, who else can stop him from stepping on this throne?
In the Dune Palace, Zhao Yong shouted every day: "I want to see my son, I want to see my son, I want to eat, I want to eat......"
The guards outside were indifferent at all, and Guard A looked at Guard B: "The master father is also a poor man!" ”
"I said you, don't talk nonsense, if someone spreads that you say this, you will lose your head!" Guard B looked at Guard A and said.
The two were originally the elite troops under Zhao Yong, but after the legion took refuge in Zhao He's forces, the two changed from Zhao Yong's people to Zhao He's people.
"Am I not right? What did the Master Father do wrong? And to be treated like this? The guard said indignantly, he felt that Zhao Yong in the Dune Palace was too pitiful.
And at this time, a man in a general's clothes came over: "You are not bad about what you said, Zhao Yong is too pitiful, and he has not done anything wrong!" ”
"But many things in this world are not about right or wrong, but about whether they succeed or not!" The general looked at the guard armor and said.
