Li Mu didn't brag, because at the time when he was chatting with Yiqusheng, there were already 40,000 cavalry of the Zhao State concentrated in the big camp of Dingxi City.

After another three days, that number became fifty-eight thousand cavalry.

Fifty-eight thousand cavalry, this is already all the cavalry strength that Li Mu can take out now.

At the same time, the scouts of the Zhao army were not idle, they were sprinkled in large quantities like fluttering dandelions, all over the grassland, just to detect the movements of the Qin army.

To Li Mu's disappointment, Wang Qian's troops only arrived at Yiqu City, and then refused to continue north after ensuring that the land south of the Great Wall was controlled by the Qin State.

"Going north is a dead end for us!" Wang Jian said with great certainty to Wei Yu, who was standing beside him.

"Why did the general say that?" Wei Yu looked obviously confused.

Wang Jian said with a solemn expression: "Everyone knows that Li Mu is best at cavalry, if he fights with him in the plains, wouldn't it just fit his mind and allow him to develop his strengths?" More importantly, the task entrusted to us by the king is to protect Yiqu and not to fight against Zhao, and now that Yiqu City has fallen into our hands, we have already given an account to the king, so why continue to pursue? ”

Regarding Wang Qian's reply, Wei Yi was obviously a little dissatisfied.

After all, the 100,000 army traveled hundreds of miles to get here, but the result was not a battle, which was obviously a little unpleasant.

Wang Jian smiled and said: "If you can get a hundred miles of land without using swords, what else are you dissatisfied with?" I have already ordered someone to report the victory to Xianyang, and presumably the reward order from the king will arrive soon. ”

Wang Jian was not wrong at all, after hearing the news of the Qin army's occupation of Yiqu City, Qin Wang Chu in Xianyang was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to send people to Yiqu City, and rewarded the ordinary soldiers from Wang Jian to the ordinary Qin army.

After receiving the reward, the Qin army was naturally jubilant, and the original slight dissatisfaction disappeared completely.

After all, for soldiers, being able to get a reward is the most important thing, and the battle itself will kill people, not to mention that it is the Zhao army cavalry, a world-famous opponent.

Wei Yu was very disappointed by this, and he said to Wang Qian: "General Wang Qian, look at these soldiers, as soldiers of Great Qin, they are afraid to fight against the people of Zhao?" How can we expect such an army to defend Great Qin! ”

Wang Jian looked at Wei Yi with an angry face, sighed softly, and said, "General Wei Yi, have you forgotten how Great Qin has repeatedly lost to Zhao State in the past few years?" Let me say, is the defeat of Great Qin because these soldiers are not tenacious and heroic enough? ”

"Of course not." Wei Yu shook his head and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Sergeant Guan's strength is not inferior to that of any country, I just think it's ......."

Wang Jian interrupted Wei Yu's words: "The current Great Qin has not seen the dawn of victory for a long time!" I need a victory to boost morale, as long as the morale is boosted, then the soldiers who are fighting against the Zhao army will be able to have more certainty of victory! ”

"Against Zhao Jun?" Wei Yu couldn't help but shout: "But the people of Zhao have already retreated!" ”

"Nope." Wang Jian shook his head and said, "They will come back, General Wei Yi." At that time, it will be the time for us to be truly tested! ”

Just when Wang Jian and Li Mu confronted each other thousands of miles away from Yiqu and Shuofang, the war on the Central Plains side also began to break out in full force.

Zhao Dan appointed Zhao Guoda's general Lian Po as the chief general, and Le Cheng as the deputy general to jointly lead 250,000 troops to South Korea, and the troops were directed at Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

Although all kinds of verbal artillery are fighting loudly, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to rely on war to solve the final problem.

If you look carefully at the map, you can find that Xinzheng is very close to Daliang City, and this area of Daliang City has long been the territory of Zhao State, so when Zhao Guo's army came from the east, Xinzheng became the main battlefield.

On 16 February, Zhao's army arrived 100 miles away from Xinzheng and defeated the Han army in successive skirmishes, forcing the Han army to shrink its forces and hold on to Xinzheng without going out to fight.

On 20 February, Zhao's army completely surrounded Xinzheng.

On 26 February, Zhao's army began an offensive against Xinzheng.

At the same time, Ju Xin gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses from the three counties of Jinyang, Hedong and Shangdang of Zhao State, and went south from Hedong County, aiming at Luoyi, which had just fallen into the hands of Korea.

Due to the lack of Korean troops, they could not draw any troops to support Luoyi, and many Zhou people in Luoyi were extremely dissatisfied with Korea's forcible annexation of Luoyi, so Juxin successfully broke through Luoyi after only ten days of siege.

After conquering Luoyi, Juxin continued to lead his troops south, aiming at Yangzhai, another large city in South Korea.

On March 17, Yang Zhai was surrounded by the drama Xin's department.

The war has reached this point, and all discerning people can see that as long as South Korea cannot get reinforcements, then it will only be a matter of time before it will perish!

"We must support South Korea, otherwise, after the destruction of Korea, the widow will have one less arm to fight against Zhao State!" Qin Wang Chu slapped the table and yelled at the many ministers of the Qin State in front of him.

Many people turned their eyes on Lü Buwei, but Lü Buwei just sat there quietly, looking like he didn't have any sign of wanting to speak.

The current political arena of the Qin State is a little chaotic, and the alternation of power and loss of power between Lü Buwei and Cai Ze has made many Qin ministers a little confused, and they feel that they no longer understand the situation.

But one thing is undoubted, since Lü Buwei did not speak, and the king has already spoken, it has become imperative to support South Korea.

Therefore, many ministers immediately echoed the opinions of Qin Wang Chu, and expressed their appreciation for the wisdom of their own king.

Qin Wang Chu, who had received some affirmation, felt a little proud in his heart, and said: "Tell Wang Jian that the widow will increase his troops to 200,000, and let him immediately go east to attack Hexi and Shangjun, and take back the widow's Hexi and Shangjun first!" ”

The Qin State wanted to attack the Zhao State, and now it was nothing more than two directions, one going north and the other going east.

Going north is facing the thousands of miles of grassland of Zhao State and a few Zhao State cities, which is obviously not a very good choice for Qin State to attack, so eastward expansion is an inevitable choice.

In fact, in the heart of Qin Wang Chu, it is not too important whether Korea will perish or not, and the most important thing is, of course, the strength of Qin.

Only if the Qin State itself can become strong is the right way!

After all, there is a good saying that striking iron needs its own hardness.

Today's Zhao State is undoubtedly a very heavy and very hard piece of stubborn iron, and if you want to defeat this stubborn iron, then the Qin State must have strong strength.

Lu Buwei looked at Qin Wang Chu and felt that it might be time for him to speak.

So Lu Buwei coughed and said, "King, if Li Mu takes the opportunity to go south......

Qin Wang Chu glanced at Lu Buwei and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Hexi is originally part of Guanzhong, if Li Mu comes again, Wang Jian can return to support Xianyang at any time, why should the widow be afraid?" ”

As the leader of the "recuperation" faction who has always been not very supportive of starting a war immediately, it is actually inappropriate for Lü Buwei to keep not speaking, but if he talks too much, it will arouse the disgust of Qin Wang Chu.

So after saying such a sentence, Lu Buwei closed his mouth very interestingly.

Qin Wang Chu was also relieved to see that Lu Buwei did not oppose his opinions as clearly as usual.

Checks and balances belong to checks and balances, but it must be admitted that Lü Buwei has always been the most trusted person of Qin Wangchu, and this trust was established when Qin Wangchu was in trouble in Handan, and it is impossible for any Qin minister to replace it.

If it weren't for that, with Lü Buwei's recent appearance of being in opposition to Qin Wangchu, Qin Wangchu would have removed Lü Buwei from his post a long time ago.

Qin Wang Chu, who had relaxed a lot, turned his head and gave an order to the Qin courtiers in front of him loudly: "Okay, tell Wang Jian that whether Great Qin can rise again depends on whether he can fight a beautiful battle this time!" ”

Qin Wang Chu is still very confident in Wang Qian, after all, no matter what, Wang Jian is now helping Qin Wang Chu recover Yiqu City, isn't it?

Qin Wang Chu thought about it, felt that it was still a little unsafe, and said: "The widow has decided, I will go to Taimiao in the next few days to pray for the blessings of the soldiers on the front line, so that the ancestors of the past dynasties can bless Daqin to win this battle!" ”

Obviously, in order to defeat the Zhao State, the king of the Qin State is also going to use all the means.
