Chapter 916: You Were so Cool Before? Now You Have to Pay Back Your Debt! Where Is Ying Chengjiao? !

Li Mu thought for a long time and then turned his attention to Tang Jiu: "General Tang Jiu, do you dare to lead an army of 40,000 to the reinforcements of Gan Dao City?"

Tang Jiu hesitated.

The Qin general who led the troops to attack Gandao City was Meng Tian!

This man is not only the grandson of Meng Ao and the son of Meng Wu, but also has a profound family knowledge. He has also shown himself to be a general. He fought brilliantly in many battles such as Qin's attack on Chu, Qin Qi's destruction of Chu, and Qin's destruction of Zhao. Tang Jiu, who had worked with Meng Tian to defeat the Chu State, knew very well that this man was by no means a wasted person.

Even with the superior force and the city wall as the backing, Tang Jiu was still not completely sure of holding Gan Dao City in front of Meng Tian.

But Li Mu asked if he dared, not if he could.

Tang Jiu's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly raised his hands: "The people are here, the city is here!"

Li Mu nodded happily: "Very good!"

"Captain Li Xian, do you dare to lead 30,000 Qi troops and 5,000 Dai troops to help Huanzhou City?"

Li Xian solemnly handed over his hand without any hesitation: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the coach!"

Li Mu looked at Yan An again: "Captain Yan An, do you dare to lead the Yan army to support Zhuocheng?"

Yan An immediately looked at Yan Wangxi and saw Yan Wangxi shook his head.

Enough soldiers of the Yan Army have died in battle, and King Xi of Yan really does not want the Yan Army to suffer even the slightest loss!

Yan An then cupped his hands and said: "The last general..."

Before Yan An could finish speaking, Mao Sui suddenly looked at Tian Sheng with a smile and said, "The Qin army is still attacking Wuyang, making it impossible for our country's supplies to be transported smoothly into Dukang."

"It's all thanks to King Qi's benevolence and gift of food and grass that I can continue to supply the army on my behalf."

"When I return to Linzi in my true form, I must personally thank King Qi!"

Tian Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Mao Xiang's words are serious."

"This battle is about our Daqi State, the general trend of the world, and a battle to help the world."

"Whether it is for the alliance between Dai and Qi or for the sake of our country, Da Qi, we, Da Qi, should do our best to help the alliance. Only in this way can we be allies."

"The alliance between Dai, Qi and Yan is not for the benefit of one country, but for the benefit of the world."

"The survival of the country is more important than the gain or loss of interests!"

Mao Sui returned the gift with his hand and said with emotion: "When I asked the King of Qi to borrow food, I was already prepared to give a high reward, and even promised that the Qi army did not need to participate in the war and only had to sit back and watch my generation of soldiers fight bravely! "

"Of course! The King of Qi not only donated the food and grass our army needed when our army's food routes were cut off, but he also never used it as a threat to refuse the commander-in-chief to dispatch Qi soldiers and horses to fight."

"It's just that Mao is so shallow, he didn't expect that King Qi would be so righteous!"

Tian Sheng laughed heartily: "We are allies!"

"It is the duty of an ally to bear the burden of supplies when our allies are short of food, and to act as allies when our allies are facing enemies."

"If we are both stingy with baggage and greedy for life and fear of death, and repeatedly refuse orders from the generals on the battlefield, delaying the opportunity to fight, then why should we, the Great Qi, join forces to attack Qin?!"

Mao Sui sighed repeatedly: "King Qi, you are truly a righteous hero!"

"I am so smart that I don't know how to describe my admiration for King Qi."

Mao Sui suddenly turned to look at King Yan Xi, smiled and asked, "Can King Yan teach foreign ministers?"

Yan Wangxi's face suddenly turned green.

Mao Sui and Tian Sheng talked about the state of Qi every time.

But every sentence is pointing at Yan Wangxi’s nose and scolding her!

You ask what they scolded?

They told everything about what Yan Wangxi had done!

Some time ago, the King of Yan repeatedly avoided and refused to fight, sitting back and watching the friendly forces suffer heavy losses without doing anything. In order to use the Yan Kingdom to transport grain and grass, the Qi and Dai Kingdoms did not dare to show it openly no matter how angry they were in their hearts.

But now, the Qin army has taken the initiative to lift the siege of Pingshu and Zhongyi. Qi and Dai no longer need to ask Yan to use the road to transport grain and grass!

In order to unite to conquer Qin, the armies of Dai and Qi would not cross the river and demolish the bridge.

But they will no longer swallow their anger, and they need Yan Wangxi to pay the due price!

King Yan's awkward voice came out from between his teeth: "Now is the time to discuss military strategy, not the time to think about words of praise!"

Mao Sui hurriedly handed over his hands with an apologetic expression: "This is actually the foreign minister's fault!"

"I wonder if King Yan thinks that Captain Yan An dares to lead 30,000 Yan troops to the reinforcements of Zhuocheng?"

King Yan looked at Yan An with joy and anger: "Do you have such courage?!"

King Yan didn't care about face.

As long as he can get benefits, Yan Wangxi can throw his face to the ground without hesitation.

But Yan An wants to lose face!

At least, he doesn't want to go down in history as a cowardly person!

Yan An raised his hand without hesitation: "Why should I fear death?!"

"If the enemy wants to capture Zhuocheng, they must first step on the corpse of the general!"

King Yan's anger rose sharply, but unless he betrayed the alliance on the spot, King Yan could not say anything.

Yan Wangxi could only look at Li Mulan and laughed loudly: "What a righteous man!"

"Zhuocheng is handed over to Du Wei'an for guarding, and I will feel at ease!"

Ignoring King Yan Xi's increasingly darker complexion, Li Mu ordered sixteen people in succession.

After arranging the combat mission, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "This general will lead the Chinese army to retreat to the east side of Fangcheng and set up camp."

"The land of Dukang is not vast. The general is stationed in Fangcheng. The farthest distance from the east and west sides of the land of Dukang is only 180 miles. The messenger can complete the round trip in one day."

"This general will issue military orders in a timely manner based on the military reports sent back by the generals. The generals only need to execute the military orders."

When the generals under his command were generally weak, Li Mu chose to give more detailed command to his generals, handle military affairs in every detail, and use high-level generals as middle-level tool men.

This will inevitably increase the pressure on Li Mu's shoulders and the amount of thinking he needs to do exponentially.

However, Li Mu had no choice!

If he didn't want his ministries to be defeated one by one, Li Mu could only make this choice!

Li Mu's move also made all the generals sigh with relief, and they almost couldn't wait to hand over their hands: "Wei!"

Li Mu continued to warn with some worry: "Generals must not be careless before a battle."

"If you see a weakness in the Qin army, don't take the initiative to attack, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap."

"Before our army's morale recovers, our army has only one goal, and that is to hold on!"

"I do not seek merit from the generals, but I seek no faults from the generals!"

After giving careful instructions for a long time, Li Mu finally ordered the generals to leave and organize their troops.

But Li Mu's brows were still frowning unconsciously, and his face was full of concentration.

Seeing this, Mao Sui walked to Li Mu's side and sighed softly: "Our soldiers are afraid that the general will be weak, so Lord Lao Wu'an is important!"

"The true facts of all matters here will be reported to the king one by one."

"The king will definitely reward you generously for your hard work!"

Li Mu shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I should repay it with all my heart and soul."

"I just feel that such tactics are not like Qin Changan's handiwork!"

Mao Sui was startled for a moment, then his face turned serious for a moment: "Really?"

Li Mu's frown deepened: "It's just a feeling."

A general will not ignore his own whims, nor will he regard his intuition as an illusion.

However, the frontline intelligence was not enough to support Li Mu to make accurate judgments, and Wang Ben's ability also made it difficult for Li Mu to detect obvious omissions.

Li Mu could only feel something was wrong through the Qin army's arrangement in Dukang.

This slight feeling was not enough to support Li Mu in adjusting his military strategy. It was even weak enough to make Li Mu wonder if he had an illusion.

Mao Sui's expression suddenly became solemn: "During the Battle of Changping in the past, King Qin Zhaoxiang secretly dispatched Qin Wu'an Junlin Formation to replace Qin General Wang Lu as the commander-in-chief of the Qin army."

"Qin Wu'an Lord took advantage of the opportunity before our army found out about this matter to fake defeat and retreat, luring the enemy deeper, and then besieging the main force of our army and cutting off our army's food routes!"

"King Qin Zhaoxiang is like this, and King Qin's government may also be like this!"

If Li Mu's feeling was about the armies of other countries, Mao Sui might not care so much.

After all, changing commanders before battle is a taboo, and ordinary kings would not dare to use it wisely.

But Li Mu's feeling was directed at Qin Jun, who had successful experience.

In Mao Sui's view, you can never be too careful!

But then Mao Sui frowned deeply: "It's just that Lord Qin Changan is already the most capable general in Qin today."

"And Dukang Land is the most critical place in this battle."

"If Qin Wangzheng secretly changes the commander, who will he appoint as the frontline commander, and where will Qin Chang'an go?!"

Li Mu said without hesitation: "Wang Jian! Yu County!"

"Qin's General Jian did not go out with the army in this battle. If Qin really changes its commander before the battle, Qin's General Jian will be most likely to be transferred to the front line!"

"As for Lord Qin Chang'an, the most likely place to go is Yu County!"

As he spoke, Li Mu's voice became more urgent: "According to General Xue Liang's report, when General Xue Liang was fighting the Qin Army in the Xiban Valley, he saw the Qin Army soldiers hanging on the cliff with ropes. Above, dig a hole in the cliff.”

"Later, Earth Dragon turned over in Xiban Valley!"

"During the Battle of Fukouxing, our army's scouts also saw Qin soldiers digging caves on the hillside."

"Then, the earth dragon turned over in Fukouxing!"

"During the battle of Handan City, the Qin army also sent soldiers to charge under the city wall, and then Dilong turned over in Handan City!"

"This general has long suspected that the altar where Lord Qin Chang'an ordered the Earth Dragon to turn over can be located at the rear, but it is necessary to send soldiers to bury the sacrifices where the Earth Dragon is about to turn over."

"If Lord Qin Chang'an is really transferred away from the land of Dukang, then Lord Qin Chang'an is most likely leading his wizards to Yu County to make all earth dragons stand up against the curse of Dai!"

As Li Mu spoke, Mao Sui's eyes slowly widened.

Reasonable!

It makes sense!

The land of Dukang is already the most critical main battlefield in the world today. If Ying Chengxuan was secretly transferred from the front line, the most likely reason is because of Ying Chengxuan's words, "Earth Dragon has turned around this year"!

But then Li Mu's voice instantly calmed down: "But the basis of all speculations is just the general's feeling."

"Not credible!"

Mao Sui immediately said: "No!"

"This matter is related to the safety of our country, and even more so to the safety of our king. Even if it is just some speculation, we must be cautious!"

"I will return to Yu County in person right now, report this matter to the king, and dispatch soldiers, horses, and scouts to investigate the territory!"

Mao Sui solemnly held up his hands and sincerely persuaded: "Please Mr. Wu An, please exercise more restraint and put the country first."

"Don't quarrel and shout with King Yan and Prince Qi!"

The only reason why Mao Sui stayed on the front line was that Li Mu spoke too harshly, and Mao Sui was needed to be responsible for the diplomatic work between the Dai army and the Yan and Qi armies.

But compared to Dai Wangjia's safety, whether the alliance's alliance is strong is no longer the most important thing!

After Li Mu pondered for a long time, he bowed his hands and said, "Working together will help you!"
