Chapter 887 I Am the King of Yan, How Dare You Insult Me! Li Mu: I Am Insulting the King!

September 26, the 15th year of the reign of Qin.

"Go first! Break the city!"

"Don't let the Yan people laugh at you. The first to go must be our great Dai warriors!"

"The city gate has been broken! Kill!"

The tragic shouts of killing lingered in Zhuocheng, a historic city that was once the richest in the country.

The flags of the Dai and Yan armies continued to penetrate into Zhuocheng from the west and north, and finally overturned the black bird flag of the Qin Dynasty, which fluttered proudly on the top of Zhuo County!

Ma Fuxun excitedly bowed to Li Mu: "It's only a quick battle of half a month, and you can take Zhuo by force!"

"Commander, you are so brave!"

Although the Battle of Zhuo County was only a battle of one city and one place, it was the first time that Dai State had conquered the territory of Qin State since its establishment, achieving a breakthrough from zero. It was also the first time that the Zhao soldiers had won a victory in the war against Qin since the Qin destroyed Zhao, which greatly eliminated the fear and cowardice of the Dai soldiers who had served in Zhao State towards Qin.

The result of this battle was indeed not great for Li Mu, but it was of great significance to the morale of the Dai army!

Therefore, all the generals of the Dai army cheered and said: "The commander is heroic!"

However, Li Mu's face was still gloomy. Facing the cheers of the generals, Li Mu said coldly: "What's the use of my heroic spirit?"

"After all, we still have to use the blood and flesh of the soldiers and their precious time to attack Zhuocheng!"

In Li Mu's original military strategy, there was no Zhuocheng at all, and he didn't even consider the Du Kang area as a dish!

Li Mu sent messages to the King of Yan several times, asking the King of Yan to lead the Yan army to pass through Dai and bypass the Du Kang area directly, and the Hou and Yan armies went down the Yishui River from Wuyang City of Dai and attacked the Yishui Great Wall (the Southern Great Wall of Yan).

Nowadays, the Yishui Great Wall is completely located in the territory of Qin, so the defense is relatively empty on weekdays. The Dai and Yan coalition forces can gather their elites and seize the Yishui Great Wall at all costs while Qin is unprepared, and at the same time, let the Qi army go north.

When the Dai and Yan armies take the Yishui Great Wall, they can join forces with the Qi army near Pingshu City, not far from the southeast end of the Yishui Great Wall.

Once this strategy is successful, Li Mu can not only quickly join forces with the Qi army, but also use the Yishui Great Wall to trap the Qin army gathered in Dukang like a turtle in a jar and annihilate them all.

Without paying much price, the throat of Dukang can fall into the control of the Dai, Yan, and Qi coalition forces!

Unfortunately, the King of Yan resolutely rejected Li Mu's strategic plan, and Li Mu had to turn around and attack Zhuocheng first.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Ma Fuxun could only persuade him gently: "It is easy for a multinational coalition to have rifts and fight each other."

"If the coalition had not been so compromising, Qin would have perished long ago!"

"Please put the overall situation first!"

Li Mu's voice was still cold: "I am already putting the overall situation first!"

"Enter the city!"

"I want to see what kind of pig-brained person is so difficult to communicate with!"

Ma Fuxun hurriedly caught up with Li Mu and said repeatedly: "Commander! Commander! The King of Yan is the king after all, please don't say that!"

"Although Yan State is unfaithful and unrighteous, our great dynasty cannot force Yan State to become an enemy, please be patient!"

"The commander once suffered a frame-up for bluntly scolding the Queen of Zhao, the commander must not forget it!"

Li Mu did not say a word about Ma Fuxun's persuasion, and it was unknown whether he listened to it or not.

He just drove his horse over the corpses of the soldiers, crossed Zhuocheng diagonally, and then faced the cheering Yan army.

"Victory! We won! Hahaha~ We can bite off a piece of meat from Qin, great! Great!"

"It has been decades since our Great Yan broke through the city of another country, and our Great Yan warriors have finally regained their glory!"

"This battle can be won, all thanks to the king's wisdom! Congratulations to the king! Congratulations to Great Yan!"

In recent decades, whether Yan launched a war alone or joined forces with other countries, the results were all failures!

The repeated defeats have left a psychological shadow on the Yan soldiers.

Although the victory in Zhuo County was only a small victory, it was a rare and happy event for the Yan army soldiers!

Under the royal banner, the King of Yan smiled and stroked his beard: "My dear ministers, you really flatter me."

"The victory of this battle is all due to the dedication of all the soldiers and the bravery of the allies, not just my own merits!"

At this moment, the King of Yan wore a round helmet made of seven layers of copper plates, with two jade pieces tilted upwards inlaid on the wings between his eyebrows. He wore a copper armor made of nearly a thousand fish-scale copper nail plates with rhinoceros skin as the base, and cowhide boots inlaid with gold spikes. The whole person looked radiant under the sunlight.

And the King of Yan, who was wearing this cool armor and had just won a victory, was even more confident and high-spirited.

The soldiers of Yan State happily bowed to the royal banner and shouted: "Congratulations to the king! Congratulations to Great Yan!"

In this atmosphere, Li Mu and his party, who walked in silence, seemed particularly out of place.

King Xi of Yan spotted Li Mu the first time, laughed loudly, rode his horse to meet Li Mu, and said with a bow: "I have heard of the name of Dai Wu'an Jun for a long time, and today I am lucky to finally meet him!"

Li Mu calmly bowed and returned the greeting: "General Dai, Wu'an Jun, Commander Li Mu, pay homage to King Yan."

"It is really not easy to meet King Yan!"

Ma Fuxun almost put his hand on his forehead.

As expected of Wu'an Jun who can point at the queen and call a prostitute in the hall, this mouth is really stinky!

Just said a few words to King Yan, and he has already accused King Yan!

Ma Fuxun wanted to turn things around, but what qualifications did he have to speak in such an occasion!

The smile on King Yan's face froze, and then he handed over his hands apologetically: "Taking Zhuocheng first is actually to facilitate our Yan troops to move south, not because I don't trust Lord Wu An's strategy."

"I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Wu An for leading the nobles to help me, Dayan, to open a smooth path southward!"

Li Mu said quietly: "No problem."

"I know that King Yan never distrusted my strategy, he just distrusted the alliance."

"Although neither the old Zhao nor today's great dynasties have ever betrayed their alliance, King Yan still has no trust in our great dynasty's covenant even though he saves others by himself. Only by opening up the place of Dukang can we make peace. King Yan has peace of mind.”

Li Mu did not mention Yan's dishonest and unjust behavior in betraying the alliance.

But these four words, "To save others by oneself," are enough to encompass thousands of scoldings.

Although King Yan often apologized to his ministers, he couldn't bear Li Mu's insult, which was almost like pointing at King Yan's nose and scolding his mother!

King Yan Xi slowly put away his smile and said slightly coldly: "You can rest assured, Mr. Dai Wu'an."

"This battle is a battle involving the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai and Qi."

"In this battle, I, Dayan, will definitely fight to the bitter end and live up to the honor of any of our allies!"

"I also hope that Mr. Wu An can plan carefully and not treat the soldiers and horses of the three countries differently because of personal grudges and one-sided views, hurting the hearts of the leaders of all countries, and even ruining the major affairs of the coalition!"

It is disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. King Xi of Yan also threw Li Mu into a self-evident trap.

As Lord Wu'an of Dai State and the commander-in-chief of this battle, how could Li Mu ensure that he could treat the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms equally when Li Mu had clearly shown his displeasure with the Yan State?

If Li Mu said he couldn't do it, why would King Xi of Yan, as the king of Yan, put the lives of the Yan soldiers in Li Mu's hands! King Xi of Yan discussed with Li Mu to decide the strategy, and even led the Yan army to reject Li Mu's order as a matter of course.

If Li Mu said he could do it, King Xi of Yan would immediately ask Li Mu to give specific measures, and ask Li Mu to treat the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms equally and protect the interests of the Yan army as much as possible when Li Mu issued every order that might cause heavy losses to the Yan army.

If Li Mu bypassed this topic and fooled around, it would mean that Li Mu had a guilty conscience, and King Yan would have reason to lead the Yan army away from the main battlefield, and decide when the Yan army would join the battlefield based on King Yan's judgment.

As the King of Yan and good at court politics, King Xi set a trap for Li Mu in which he would be stripped of his skin no matter what!

In Yan Wangxi's opinion, Li Mu, who doesn't understand the art of political fighting at all, will definitely suffer the loss of being dumb!

Li Mu frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but shouted angrily: "The time it took for the Qin army to rush all the way from Guanzhong to here is our army's greatest advantage in this battle!"

"Only when our army completes the alliance before the Qin army rushes here and quickly seizes the strategic location can we have the power to compete with the Qin army!"

"Since King Yan knows that this battle is a war involving the three kingdoms of Yan, Dai and Qi, he still wants to enjoy being surrounded by soldiers and chatting with me on the battlefield with useless words?!"

Yan Wangxi imagined various possible responses from Li Mu and thought of countermeasures. However, Yan Wangxi never expected that Li Mu would scold him!

However, what Li Muxun said was very reasonable, leaving King Yan with no way to refute it.

He is King Yan! He is the king of Yan! Never had he been so humiliated!

King Xi of Yan really wanted to beat Li Mu like he did when he beat the courtiers of Yan State, but looking at Li Mu's fire-breathing eyes, King Xi of Yan was afraid that Li Mu would fight back, and he could not beat Li Mu.

King Xi of Yan wanted to scold Li Mu angrily, but looking at the elite soldiers behind Li Mu, King Xi of Yan was afraid that Li Mu would actually lead his troops to war with Yan as threatened by travelers from Yan.

King Yan could only hold back his anger and pretended to smile heartily: "What Mr. Dai Wu'an said is true. I am just slacking off."

"Somebody come!"

"Quickly set up camp for me to discuss military strategy with Lord Dai Wu'an!"

Li Mu finally nodded slightly: "This is the way to march!"

King Yan was delighted: I have no patience!

A large tent with gold threads and jade decorations quickly appeared in the Yan army's formation.

Li Mu didn't pay attention to the glaring eyes at all. He stood directly at the head of the tent with the golden sword in his hand, and pointed at Xiang Kun's map with the wooden stick in his hand: "I thought that our army would divide into two groups and march eastward. , attack Linle by force, what this army wants is to contain the main force of Qin's Linle camp. "

"Advance all the way to the southeast and storm Yicheng."

"At the same time, the Qi army was ordered to send 200,000 troops to the Pingshu and Wen'an lines to tie up the Qin army, and another 100,000 troops to besiege Li (lí) City, and then gather the elite to attack the Yishui Great Wall on the south side of Yicheng, and quickly break through it under the attack from the north and the south. Yishui Great Wall, join forces with our army!”

King Yan frowned deeply and said, "I think this strategy is inappropriate!"

"There is no need for our army to attack the Great Wall of Yishui. As long as we can capture all the Dukang territory, our army can also join forces with the Qi army!"

If the armies of Dai and Yan attack the Great Wall of Yishui, then Zhuocheng will be the only city for King Yan to return to Yan State, and it will also be the only supply line for Yan State. This will be somewhat dangerous for Yan State.

Li Mu glanced at King Yan Xi and said calmly: "King Yan has no experience in fighting on the battlefield, so naturally he feels it is inappropriate."

"King Yan, please read a few more military books, and then you will know how ridiculous King Yan's strategy is!"
