Chapter 68
Before the Qin King destroyed Zhao, the Qin army fought against Li Mu several times, but lost all of them, and never beat Li Mu.
This caused a psychological shadow on the Qin army. According to historical records, when Wei Liao performed a counter-espionage plan and King Zhao ruled Li Mu's military power, Qin State was overjoyed from the King of Qin to the soldiers and drank and celebrated. It can be imagined what position Li Mu was in the eyes of the Qin people.
Zhang Han is a very courageous person. He never expected that he would hit Li Mu. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was opened into a big circle, and he could stuff an egg.
After a long time, Zhang Han screamed in shock and broke the silence and said, "I, I, I, I, I, actually met Li Mu?" He knelt down to the King of Qin and apologized, "Your Majesty, Zhang Han is incompetent and did not catch Li Mu. Please punish him."
If Li Mu was seized, the war would be basically over and he missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, Li Mu came too suddenly, no one could have imagined that even the smart King of Qin, Wei Liao, who was as good as a god, did not expect that he could not blame him. It would be great that he could catch Li Mu's personal soldiers. The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "Zhang Han, get up."
This is not your fault, on the contrary, you still have the merit. The third difference you mentioned is that Li Mu appeared in a place that shouldn't have appeared, right? Come and point out to me where you met Li Mu."
Zhang Han responded, walked to the map, pointed to the map, and said, "It's here, Quergou, about two hundred miles away from our camp."
The King of Qin thought for a while and asked, "Tell me, what is the reason for you to go there? Queergou is too far from our camp, what clues have you found?"
I had to admire the Qin King's shrewdness from my heart again, and Zhang Han answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking that the current situation of the war is beneficial to us, but it is unreasonable."
"Oh, tell me what you think." The King of Qin became more interested.
Zhang Han continued to say: "Destroying Yan is certainly the best way to become stronger in Zhao State.
However, if the destruction of Yan is not smooth, or if the Qin Dynasty takes advantage of the Zhao army's deep into Yan territory and then suddenly attacks Zhao, if that is the case, Li Mu cannot withdraw for a while, then wouldn't Sima Shang on the Western Front be dangerous? The progress of the war situation has already shown this point.
I have been thinking that with Li Mu's cleverness, he would not have thought about this. A good general must be sure of his military use.
Li Mu's aid was delayed, and Sima Shang held on to wait for assistance. Where was Li Mu's aid? Zhang Han thought that it would not be the army that destroyed Yan and Zhao led by Li Mu.
"There are two main reasons: First, it is difficult for Zhao, which penetrates deep into the enemy's territory, to withdraw as soon as possible; second, even if it withdraws, it will rush to the Western Front thousands of miles to support the people and horses, making it difficult to pose a threat to our army.
If one is not good, it will be eaten by us. This is a matter that is not worth the effort, and Li Muduan will not do it."
His words really hit the point, and Zhou nodded in agreement to them.
The King of Qin asked, "It makes sense. I also think something is wrong. As for war, you design me. I can design you in turn. Mr. Zhou has laid a big trap for Zhao State. Why can Li Mu take this opportunity to set a trap for us?
”
Zhou Chong said with a remorse: "King, Zhou Chong is worried about the matter. I also asked the King to punish him."
The King of Qin comforted Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to blame himself. No matter what, it is amazing to be able to consume the power of Zhao State in Yan State.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhou, we wouldn't have faced Sima Shang, but Li Mu, Handan wouldn't have taken it for us, and King Zhao wouldn't have been captured by us. These are all Mr. Zhou's contributions."
Zhou Chongqian said, "The King. Zhou Chong is ashamed."
"Zhang Han, where do you think Li Mu's real reinforcements would be?" asked the King of Qin.
Zhang Han said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have been searching for you, but I haven't found it yet."
"What do you think?" The King of Qin sought everyone's opinions.
Wang Jian expressed his opinion and said, "The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and temporary success has nothing to do with it. As of now, our army has the upper hand. The situation is good. However, if Li Mu is well-organized.
The Zhao army still has the possibility of turning defeat into victory. The king, I think no matter what clever means Li Mu has, we should draw an army to prepare for unexpected changes."
The way to be perfect is a safe way to think far. The King of Qin nodded and said, "General Wang thought of going ahead, this is necessary. General Wang will do this matter.
However, we still need to find the location of Li Mu's reinforcements, after all, this is our biggest threat."
Zhao State is very big, and there are more places to hide soldiers. In addition, Li Mu's clever means, it is really not easy to find the place where he hides soldiers. It is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. Wang Jian, Mengwu, Nei Shiteng and others are unimaginable. They can't help but look at the resourceful Wei Liao, and then look at the magical Zhou Chong.
"Mr. Liaozi, where do you think it will be?" asked the King of Qin.
Wei Liao thought for a while and replied: "Liuzi also thought that Li Mu must have a new force in his hand that could be used, but Liaozi has not yet thought about where the army would be, and he doesn't know where Li Mu would hide this army."
This is a big problem, and it is really hard to guess. The King of Qin was very disappointed and looked at Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Zhou, tell me."
Wei Liao couldn't even guess it, but Zhou Chong could not guess it. After thinking about it, he immediately had an idea and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong is not sure. However, we can combine the spy and maybe we can find clues."
The King of Qin nodded and said, "Li Mu has the best information here. When he came here, he explained that he was going to meet with his reinforcements. You can send more detective posts to inquire, maybe you can find them.
What I am worried about is that before we find Li Mu, he will give us a sudden attack, and the problem will be serious."
A light of inspiration flashed through my mind. Zhou Chong suddenly thought of something and asked: "King, according to the information we know, Li Mu transferred the Zhao army from other places, but there was a Zhao army from one place but it was not transferred."
"Ordinary army!" King Qin, Wei Liao, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, and Nei Shiteng blurted out.
The King of Qin slapped his forehead and said, "Why did I forget this? Li Mu was the first to be a lieutenant general, defeating the Hu people, and the Hu people dare not attack the border. The lieutenant army is the most elite army in Li Mu's hands. He can attack and defend, has many cavalry and has strong mobility.
However, the spy said that Dai Bing had not moved, so he did not think about this. These spies should be beheaded, and they were deceived. I think that the reinforcements in Li Mu's hand must be Dai Bing, and Li Mu must be going to meet Dai Bing. "
"What the king said is extremely true!" Wei Liao and the others agreed.
The King of Qin said to Zhang Han: "Zhang Han, I will give you a thousand detective cavalry. You start from Quergou, search and increase the scope. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will also find this army for me."
