On the fifth day after taking Gaowan City, Li Mu's army arrived at the foot of Linzi City.

After the encampment was completed, Li Mu convened the generals for deliberations.

Speaking of which, this was the first military meeting after the main force led by Li Mu and the partial division of Ju Xin.

I saw Li Mu say in a deep voice: "Now there are only tens of thousands of defenders in Linzi City, if our army of 300,000 people is besieging the city here, it will be too much of a waste of troops." I am ready to send a detachment to Donglai to continue to sweep the counties of Qi State, so that Linzi will completely become an empty city with no one to rescue! Who wants to take on this responsibility? ”

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, many generals of the Zhao army immediately scrambled to speak: "The governor of the capital, the minister is willing." "The Metropolitan Governor, the minister can lead the army to the Metropolitan Governor to level Donglai!"

For a while, the sound of war filled the entire tent.

Donglai, the eastern part of the current Qi State, was not yet controlled by the Zhao army.

Of course, there are many people who understand among the Zhao army, although it must be the greatest credit to take Linzi, but the problem is that the 300,000 army is crowded here, who can guarantee that he is the lucky one?

So it's better to take down the land of Donglai in peace and stability, and get this credit to be real.

In these years, nothing is as good as the military feats in hand.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Zhao Kuo, who had been silent, was also a little moved.

If Zhao Kuo continues to stay in Linzi, then the credit will definitely be there, but the great merit cannot be counted on.

After all, Zhao Kuo is just a deputy general.

"It's better to ...... I'll take the credit for this Donglai. ”

Zhao Kuo felt that if he spoke, with his status as a deputy general, there should be no big problem.

Zhao Kuo's plan had been decided, and when he was about to speak, an old and heroic voice suddenly sounded: "Don't fight for you, this time to take the main general of Donglai, the old man is decided!" ”

Zhao Kuo and the chief general in the tent looked up one after another when they heard this, and then they found that it was none other than another deputy general in the Zhao army-Ji Xin.

After seeing the drama Xin, Zhao Kuo's brows were furrowed, and all the words that came to his mouth were forced back.

There is no way, if there is another person present who Zhao Kuo will definitely not be able to compete with, then this person is definitely Ji Xin.

Whether it is qualifications or identity, Ju Xin surpasses Zhao Kuo a lot.

I saw that Ju Xin arched his hand towards Li Mu and said: "General, this partial division led by me was originally to help the general solve problems, since the general needs someone to take Donglai now, then let the old man do it." ”

Li Mu couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard this.

To be honest, if you want Li Mu to find the best candidate in his mind, the old general of Juxin is really the best person.

The drama Xin can be civil and martial, and can not only pacify the locality, but also deal with the military, which everyone else does not have.

But the problem is that Linzi City was surrounded by Ju Xin first, and now that Li Mu has transferred Ju Xin away as soon as he comes, in the eyes of others, they will feel that Li Mu is too greedy to tolerate others.

This is not something Li Mu wants to see.

So Li Mu thought for a while and said: "No, General Ju Xin is my arm, and I still have to rely on General Ju Xin to break through Linzi City, how can I let the general leave easily?" In this way, General Zhao Kuo, I will give you 40,000 soldiers and horses, can you pacify Donglai? ”

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed in his heart, and he had a feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky, and hurriedly said: "Zhao Kuo obeys orders!" ”

Ji Xin shook his head, sighed with some regret, and didn't say anything.

The matter had been decided, and Zhao Kuo ordered his men and horses that day, and went to the east with great enthusiasm and ambition.

The next day, the Zhao army carried out its first siege since Li Mu's arrival.

In this siege, the Zhao army copied the tactics of the time in Gaowan City and threw a large number of earth-shattering thunder bombs into the city.

Just like the battle of Gaowan City, the rumbling explosion gave a great shock to the soldiers and civilians of Qi in Linzi City, and the rumors began to spread wildly, and the people in the entire Linzi were panicked, and they had reached the most frightened state.

At the end of the night, Li Mu, who had just finished inspecting the camp and was about to sleep with his clothes closed, was awakened by a rush of footsteps.

Ji Xin's excited voice sounded outside the tent: "General, hurry, something has happened in Linzi City!" ”

Li Mu turned over and walked out of the big tent quickly.

In his line of sight, the firelight of Linzi was everywhere several miles away, and even at such a distance, Li Mu could still clearly hear the sound of firelight coming from the city.

Li Mu and Ju Xin glanced at each other, and they both saw the same look in each other's eyes - expectation and excitement.

Ji Xin said excitedly: "This must be the internal response arranged by the Metropolitan Governor in the city, right?" I didn't expect the Metropolitan Governor to keep it so secretive, and even the old man hid it. ”

Li Mu was stunned for a while, and then suddenly understood, probably because of the experience of attacking Xianyang twice, so now the drama Xin thinks that this civil strife in Linzi is Li Mu's handiwork.

Li Mu said with some ridicule: "General Juxin misunderstood, and I don't know why there was sudden chaos in this Linzi." ”

Ju Xin glanced at Li Mu with some doubts, as if he felt that Li Mu's expression was not fake, so he said: "So the Metropolitan Governor thinks, what's going on?" ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's late at night, and we don't have a grasp of the situation, so it seems that something is wrong if we rush to launch the troops. In this way, General Juxin Ru quickly went to mobilize 20,000 elites, if Linzi was still in civil strife after half an hour, then our army would take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, maybe we would be able to find an opportunity! ”

Ju Xin answered, and happily mobilized the troops.

Li Mu climbed onto the lookout platform of the Zhao army's camp and looked at Linzi in the distance.

It can be seen that there must have been a great chaos in Linzi City, which can be seen from the increasing fires and shouts of killing in the city.

After two quarters of an hour, Li Mu changed his mind and issued a new order: "Pass the order, gather 50,000 elites as quickly as possible, and prepare to attack the city according to my orders!" ”

The entire Zhao State camp has become fully active.

Suddenly, the captain of the personal guard standing beside Li Mu exclaimed in surprise, pointed to Linzi City not far in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Governor, look, the gate of Linzi City is open!" ”

"What?" Li Mu turned his head almost like lightning and set his eyes on Linzi City in the darkness.

In Li Mu's sight, the open Linzi city gate was obviously very small, but it was very conspicuous.

The gates of this city have really been opened!

Li Mu took a deep breath, only to feel that his whole mood was agitated, and he gave an order almost without thinking.

"Pass the order, let General Ji Xin lead his troops to attack immediately, and be sure to give me the shortest time to take down this city gate!!"
