Chapter 133: Li Mu's Death
"Report to the general, fifteen miles west of Dazhai, I found the Qin army, about 5,000 men and horses."
"Oh!" Li Mu was also quite surprised, at this time, the Qin army had not retreated, and had sent troops over, so difficult that the Qin army was unwilling to fail and wanted to counterattack the Zhao army?
Although the strength of the Qin army at this time is still more than that of the Zhao army, but the matter of fighting is not only to look at the strength, but also to look at morale, timing, geographical advantages and other factors, after this defeat, the morale of the Qin army is low, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, it will take at least half a year to regain morale, and now the key roads around Jingcheng are controlled by the Zhao army, and the Qin army does not have an advantage in terms of geographical advantages, it can be said that the Qin army made a comeback at this time, and there is almost no chance of victory.
Li Muzhi knew that some generals were not willing to admit defeat after defeat, and sometimes concentrated the last troops and launched a counterattack in a desperate manner, hoping to get away with defeat and win, but the result was more and more losses. However, Wang Jian is not such a main general, and he will never forcibly fight back when he knows that it is impossible. Therefore, it is more likely that this Qin army is testing the Zhao army. However, Li Mu did not dare to be careless, and prepared to send a cavalry army to monitor this Qin army.
At this moment, the soldiers on duty came to report that a team of Zhao troops came from outside Dazhai, claiming to be officials of Zhao State who had escaped from Handan, and wanted to rescue Li Mu.
Now Li Mu has also received some rumors, knowing that Handan has been broken by Yang Duanhe of the Qin army, but after all, he has not received accurate news, so Li Mu is also a little suspicious, because the Zhao army has more than 100,000 troops stationed on the north bank of Zhangshui, and there are Zhangshui and the Great Wall as barriers, and Yang Duanhe has only 50,000 troops, how can he break through the Zhangshui defense line? And even if Zhangshui is broken through, there is still Handan City, and the city wall of Handan is high and thick, after the Battle of Changping, the Qin army surrounded Handan three times, and still could not break through Handan, how could it be so lightly broken by the Qin army?
However, these news will not be groundless, so what is going on, Li Mu can't judge, originally Li Mu planned to send someone back to Handan to inquire about the detailed situation, but the military situation was urgent some time ago, and it was the moment to break the relationship between the Qin army, Li Mu had no energy to deal with the affairs of Handan, so he had to put it down temporarily. Now that the overall situation here has been decided, Li Muzheng wants to pay attention to the affairs of Handan, and it just so happens that someone in Handan has escaped, it seems that Handan is indeed lost, but it is also necessary to figure out what is going on. So Li Mu immediately ordered them to come into the tent.
After a while, under the leadership of the soldiers, more than seven or eight scribes and officials wearing belts entered the big tent. Among these people, Gao Yuan only knew one, that is, the doctor Shi Chong, and no one else knew him, but he didn't stay in Handan for a few days, and he didn't go to a normal court meeting once, so he was able to know a few people. In fact, not to mention him, even Li Mu only knew two or three of them, because Li Mu had been stationed outside for a long time, and he didn't have much time to return to Handan, and he didn't know all the ministers in the court. However, the other people looked a little familiar.
After everyone entered the tent, they immediately saluted Li Mu and said, "Wu Anjun, Zhao Guo has finished." So saying, he fell on his knees and began to cry aloud, and the others began to weep along, and for a moment there was a cry in the big tent.
Li Mu also smiled bitterly, although he received some rumors, but Li Mu still had a little luck in his heart, thinking that the rumors were a little too much, Handan was only very critical, but it had not been lost, or although Handan was lost, but King Zhao had escaped from the city, and then announced that he would move the capital and gain a foothold in other places, so that Zhao was not a dead country. But looking at the appearance of Shi Chong and others, because it is Shi Chong's sentence "Zhao is over", Li Mu is also convinced that not only Handan was lost, but even Zhao Wangqian may not be able to escape.
Therefore, at this time, Li Mu also had a lot of emotion in his heart, although Li Mu had been ceded to autonomy, but in terms of name, Li Mu was still a minister of Zhao State, and in his heart, Li Mu still regarded himself as the minister of Zhao State, and hoped that one day he could reconcile with Zhao Wangqian and return to Handan. But now it seems that this qiē is no longer possible. So after the fall of the Zhao State, where to go and where to go, you also need to think carefully.
Now there are at least two problems that need to be solved, one is the demise of the Zhao State, what should I use to recruit the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao State to resist the Qin State, whether to find a person from the clan of the Zhao State to establish the King of Zhao, or to attach to other countries; The other is that in the past, his own sources of material supply were provided by merchants in Handan, but after the loss of Handan, he also cut off the source of material supply, and he had to avoid other channels.
Thinking about it, Li Mu found that Shi Chong and the others were still kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly. Li Mu also sighed softly, got up and bypassed the handsome case, came to Shi Chong's side, supported Shi Chong with both hands, and said, "Doctor Shi, the matter has come to this, you don't feel sad, let's get up first......"
At this moment, there was a lot of change, only when Li Mu bent down to help Shi Chong, suddenly Shi Chong's palms came out together, and he hit Li Mu's chest firmly. Li Mu was beaten and screamed, flew back a few meters on his back, hit the screen behind the handsome case, and fell down.
This change came so suddenly, not to mention Li Mu, even everyone in the big tent didn't expect that Shi Chong would attack Li Mu. Because most people know Shi Chong, they know that he is the doctor of Zhao State, and he is also a civil official, and when he entered the account, he did not bring weapons, so no one was vigilant, but he didn't expect the most impossible thing to happen.
After attacking Li Mu, Shi Chong got up from the ground, laughed loudly, and said, "Li Mu, your death date is today." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, tearing off a mask, revealing a face completely different from Shi Chong. And the other people who came with him also got up one after another, and tore off the masks on their faces, it turned out that everyone came in disguise.
Only at this time, the other people in the big tent reacted, Li Yinghong let out a heart-rending scream, and immediately rushed over to rescue Li Mu, and Gao Yuan was also angry, immediately pulled out his saber, and quickly slashed at the person who was dressed up and attacked Li Mu, and the other weapons in the tent, the guards also drew their swords and rushed towards these people.
And the person who was dressed as Shi Chong and attacked Li Mu saw Gao Yuan swinging his knife at him, he laughed for a long time, and somehow, with a raised arm, the robe had been taken off from his body, and he was like a dark cloud, and he was hooded on Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't mess up, and suddenly slashed with his knife, covering himself tightly, and the robe was suddenly cut to pieces by him, turning into pieces of cloth.
But in this brief moment, Gao Yuan had already heard the strong wind in the tent, and the screams were endless. After he chopped up the robe, he found that more than ten people had fallen in the big tent, but all of them were soldiers of the Zhao army. And none of the more than 10 people seemed to be injured. Each of them carried one or two short swords, apparently carried close to their bodies. And the person who was dressed as Shi Chong and attacked Li Mu had just killed two Zhao soldiers, and Chen Shi also staggered and fell to the side.
Gao Yuan was also shocked, he couldn't imagine that this group of people would be so strong, and he couldn't help but think of the Qin army he met on the battlefield.
But after all, this is in the Zhao army's big village, the Zhao soldiers outside heard the movement in the tent, and also rushed in, no matter how strong this group of people is, they are outnumbered, and they will definitely not be able to escape.
And at this moment, there was another accident, only a "boom", in the center of the big tent, it collapsed into a big pit the size of a table, the big tent was suddenly filled with dust and smoke, and this group of people jumped into the big pit in turn to escape. However, the big pit can only allow one person to jump into it at a time, and it must be separated by at least a few seconds, so it is not possible to completely escape for a while, and the other people are also surrounding the pit and fighting fiercely with Zhao Bing.
Gao Yuan was shocked and angry, he didn't expect them to escape in such a way. Without thinking about it at the moment, he waved his saber again and quickly slashed at the person who was dressed up and attacked Li Mu.
The man used a short sword to block the high plateau's sword, and then returned the sword and stabbed it at the plateau. At this time, the plateau was already full of grief and indignation, and he simply ignored the short sword that stabbed him, and the saber suffocated the widow and widow
Plateau's lose-lose style of play also made the man a little surprised, of course he didn't want to die with the plateau, so he could only close his chest and abdomen, and dodged the plateau's knife, but he retreated, and the momentum suddenly dropped a little, and the plateau was originally filled with righteous indignation, and at this time it was even more imposing, so one knife after another, as if a match, slashed at the man.
After losing the opportunity, the man was also forced to parry with his sword, and he couldn't fight back for a while. However, the man kept the water unrevealed, so that the plateau had no chance to take advantage of it, and after more than 20 consecutive sword exchanges, the plateau's momentum was exhausted, and the sword momentum was greatly reduced. The man also took advantage of the situation to swing his sword and fight back, the first sword hit the saber of the plateau, snatched back the initiative, the second sword forced the plateau to return the knife to parry, the third sword forced the plateau to retreat two steps in a row, after the three swords, the two of them immediately attacked and defended and defended, completely reversed.
The shock in Gao Yuan's heart is also extraordinary, because now his martial arts have made great progress, far better than when he just arrived in this era, even if he encounters Ye Wuyue, or which Qin general who makes a broadsword on the battlefield, he also has the power of a battle, and he may not lose, but the martial arts of this person in front of him are far higher than the masters he has seen, and in the image of Gao Yuan, only Zhao Xuan has such a strong martial art.
If the fight continues, of course, the plateau will be defeated, and it will even be difficult to escape, but at this time everyone else has already jumped into the pit to escape, so the man did not mortar the plateau again, and after forcing the plateau back, he immediately turned around and jumped into the pit and escaped from the big tent.
After the plateau arrived at the edge of the big pit, the big pit was only five or six meters deep, and there was a hole on the side, and everyone fled without a trace.
