Chapter 175 The South Wind is Warm, and This Life Is Broken (1)
Mu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, turned the horse's head and left quickly, several lieutenants let out a sigh of relief, they knew best when they followed Mu Chen's side on weekdays, and it was normal for them to scold when they encountered this kind of thing, most of them were used to it, but now a person who kept waving a broad-bladed sword without saying a word made people feel even more panicked.
The war horse went away, and one said: "Don't say it's a general, we people are also holding our breath in our hearts, now it's okay!" ”
"It makes sense, as long as there is a fight." The other nodded in agreement.
Zhang Liang always smiled, "Whether it is feasible or not, it is impossible to determine for a while." ”
"This!"
When the words fell, several people locked their eyes on the military advisor Zhang Liang almost at the same time, their faces also became ugly, and they secretly sweated in their hearts, this is bad, once the general knows that he has been deceived, he will be furious, and it is his own people who suffer.
"Strategist, this kind of joke can't be made!"
Zhang Liang laughed, "It's okay, it's true that the king summoned you, that's enough!" After saying that, Fei got on his horse and walked away, leaving only a few lieutenants, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.
As soon as he galloped over, he immediately had a big black face, and the broad-bladed sword was in his hand, it was Zhao Kuo's favorite general in front of him, Mu Chen urged the war horse to come closer, "King." ”
Zhao Kuo's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes always fell on the people who poured out of the city, Mu Chen had to stand aside respectfully, muttering secretly in his heart, saying that there was an emergency, why didn't he say a word, could it be that Mu Chen made a mistake again, don't look at Mu Chen's loud voice and anger on weekdays, and all the qi qi in front of Zhao Kuo is completely gone.
"See?"
Mu Chen responded casually, he didn't know what the king was referring to, looking at it, it was Jimo City, it shouldn't be, if it was to defend Jimo, why did the people go out of the city to hide, "The last general is willing to lead his troops to stick to Jimo City!" ”
Zhao Kuo smiled, "A strong city is enough to resist the Donghu cavalry, what this king wants to do this time is to completely solve the northeast border trouble!" Don't want to be distracted by this. "Zhao Kuo has long had the intention to compete with Qin, and he will definitely fight with all his strength at that time, once the war falls into equilibrium, a seemingly inconspicuous straw can completely break the balance, and it is far from enough to destroy the Yan State, and the ambitious Donghu cavalry is also a huge threat.
"Completely solved?"
Donghu has been attacking and harassing for a long time, from the beginning of the Shang period to the peak of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty turmoil, and even defeated the army of Yan, now only Donghu has a force that has surpassed Yan, and the strength can be imagined.
In the face of the Donghu people, who are known for their courage and ruthlessness, there seems to be only one complete solution, which is to completely eliminate the main force of Donghu by force, so that the border land can be peaceful for decades.
Zhao Kuo nodded, "If this trouble is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble in the future, and he can take this opportunity to subdue it in one fell swoop!" ”
"Acceptance?"
Mu Chen shook his head again and again, "No, absolutely not, the Donghu people are eager to swallow us in one bite now, how to subdue us!" Mu Chen said this is also not unreasonable, Donghu people are good at fighting, and galloping horses on the grassland on weekdays also develop an unruly personality, just like a wild horse, if you want to subdue it, you must work several times harder, and even be burdened by it.
Zhao Kuo sneered, "Now is an excellent opportunity, once the Donghu cavalry retreats to the grassland, like a tiger entering the mountain, it is impossible to defeat it in one fell swoop, what this king has to do is to use absolute strength, grace and power to force it to surrender to this king!" ”
Mu Chen raised his head, Zhao Kuo's eyes showed affection so familiar, and a smile appeared on his face, how could he forget, no matter how difficult he encountered, he could never stump the king, and what seemed to be impossible to accomplish could also be done, which was also the king's superiority.
Zhao Kuo finally said his true plan, a Yan country is far from enough, completely conquer Donghu, and pacify the northeast in one fell swoop, such a bold idea seems to be only Zhao Kuo, it must not be easy to realize, the king of Donghu led his troops to sweep the strength of the grassland tribe can be imagined.
"What does the king want Mu Chen to do, just one sentence!"
"Protect the people of Jimo, I don't want to see any more casualties." Zhao Kuo patted Mu Chen's shoulder, and Mu Chen showed a smile on his face, just like back then, one promise was enough.
"Give it to Mu Chen!"
Mu Chen urged the horse to leave, it didn't take long, two teams of cavalry were divided into the camp, all of them were the elite of the black devil, and the people kept fleeing from the city to the outside, carrying it on their shoulders, with the protection of the army of Zhao State, the worried look on their faces slowly disappeared, and everyone believed that they could not go wrong with Zhao Ren, and they could return to Jimo one day.
Zhang Liang urged the horse to return, that is, the situation under Mocheng could be seen clearly, "The king has won the hearts of the people, why not worry about the world!" ”
"What will King Donghu do when he gets Jimo City?"
"Keep pursuing."
Zhao Kuo nodded, "Yes, this king just wants to give him enough benefits, and then defeat him in one fell swoop, and there will never be a place to turn over." ”
A murderous aura instantly came out of the body, Zhang Liang saw it in his eyes, the killing machine had appeared, this kind of situation was rare, as the last person walked out, the two teams of cavalry instantly combined to completely protect the people, Mu Chen held a broad-edged sword, no matter what, he must not live up to the trust of the king, and it was useless for the Donghu cavalry to come.
The army continued to set off, leaving Jimo City to rush to Linzi, it takes at least three days to travel from Jimo to Linzi, and the people accompanying the journey will inevitably be longer, which invisibly increases the difficulty of marching, and it is also easy to be attacked by the Donghu cavalry.
People who know how to grasp the opportunity can turn their disadvantages into advantages, which Zhao Kuo also considered, if he didn't show his flaws, he would ask how the Donghu army would take the bait.
The Donghu cavalry approached Jimo City, the whole Jimo City was pitch black, the sky was too dark, the cavalry had to defend far away, and the Donghu people were good at rushing and killing on the ground, and attacking the city and plundering the land were inevitably much inferior.
The sky was bright, and the scouts of the former army found something strange and reported quickly, "General, Jimo City is in a mess, and there are no defenders in the city!" ”
The leading culprit frowned when he heard this, "I heard that Zhao Kuo likes to play tricks the most, so he wants to trick us into the empty city, so he can't be careless and explore again." ”
"Yes!"
From early morning to noon, Jimo City is like a dead city, the murderer ninja temperament, the spy reported, "General, I haven't seen anyone come out of it in the morning." ”
"It's amazing! The front army enters the city, guarding along the way, and the rear army is ready to rush and kill at any time! ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded slowly, the speed of the front army slowed down, the bow and crossbow in his hand were aimed at the top of the city wall, once there was a change in the city, he could quickly return fire, the distance was getting closer and closer, there was still no movement on the city, and with a snap, a stone fell from above, and suddenly the arrows flew straight to the city.
A burst of arrows fell to the ground, and then there was a dead silence, "Damn, take out the courage of the Donghu people and kill it!" This kind of march was the most tormenting, and the commander of the former army quickly rushed in with the weapon in his hand, raised the weapon in his hand, and slammed it on the city gate.
Crunch, the city gate was open, and immediately someone came over to push the city gate open, and the leader of the former army laughed, "The Zhao people have fled." The defenders of Zhao State in Jimo City had already withdrawn, and the former army quickly entered the city, occupying important places with bows and crossbows, and one person urged the horse out, shouting again and again, "General, it is an empty city!" ”
"No guts rats, come here, report to the king immediately, and the rest will follow me into the city!"
"Yes!"
The Donghu cavalry entered the city, quickly looted, and almost all the materials in the city were taken away by the people, one person flew up and kicked over the already empty granary, and scolded in his mouth, "I have been looking for Lao Tzu for a long time, it's really unlucky!" ”
"How?"
"That's it! And those who don't die. ”
Looking at the scattered items in front of him, he couldn't help but feel pitiful, and when he looked at it, most of the people in the city left, leaving less than a hundred people, most of whom were old people.
"Old fellow, where did the Zhao people go?"
"Gone, left yesterday, and the people in the city followed."
"Why don't you go?"
"My legs and feet are not bright, where can I go when I am old!"
"Go to Hades!"
After speaking, his right leg was raised and kicked heavily on the old man's chest, poor old man, how could he stand such a kick, the whole person fell backwards, rolled a few times, and his face was purple and his eyes were purple.
"Please, save him."
"Keeping useless things will only waste food, and it's best to die!"
