Chapter 133: Letter Delivery and Evaluation
The large army of the Chu army left Chencheng, and according to the prisoners' accounts, everything confirmed Wang Jian's conjecture, that is, Xiang Yan had taken most of the Chu army to Pingyu on the other side, and suddenly made
decision made.
When Li Mu heard the news, he naturally knew that the situation was serious. Although the Chu army did not have as many troops as Wang Jian, he had seen it at the top of the city yesterday. Those Chu troops had a serious appearance, so they were not useless troops.
What's more, the Qin army led by Li Xin suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Chu army.
So Li Mu hurried towards Wang Jian, and Wang Jian seemed to be calculating something on the map at the moment. Li Mu hurried forward, but saw a messenger getting off the carriage, putting something into his arms, and then
He immediately ran and led his horse away.
Seeing this situation, Li Mu immediately thought that Wang Jian was sending a message to Pingyu, and he also felt that what he realized had actually been thought of by Wang Jian a long time ago.
"Father, let's pursue it as soon as possible. Since the Chu army is moving towards Pingyu, even if the messenger is notified, it may not be possible to resolve it safely. Our army will still be needed to rescue the siege."
Li Mu boarded the car and said to Wang Jian, but Wang Jian suddenly looked at Li Mu in surprise.
"What did Bi'er say about the messenger?"
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "Isn't the soldier who hurried out with his things just now a messenger going to Pingyu to deliver a message?"
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Mu's words, then laughed and looked at Mr. Gong next to him, and then said to Li Mu.
"Bier, the messenger just now is not going to Pingyu. The messenger just now is going back to Qin State to deliver a message to His Majesty."
"Send a letter? What to send?" Li Mu frowned.
"Of course we are telling the king about our achievements, and at the same time, we are also asking for some houses, wine and gems from the king, haha."
Wang Jian said with a smile. He seemed to be very candid when he said this. The surrounding soldiers could hear this clearly, but none of them looked surprised. They seemed to take it for granted.
Li Mu grinned, but suddenly remembered the characteristics of Wang Jian.
I had read this kind of classical Chinese article when I was in school. It was also mentioned above that Wang Jian was worried about being suspected because he was old and had been favored by Ying Zheng many times. So before marching, Wang Jian asked Ying Zheng for financial rewards.
While walking and walking, I didn't forget to ask Ying Zheng for rewards.
Ying Zheng readily agreed, and Wang Jian led his troops to win the battle.
Most of the records in the history books are somewhat dramatic, but Li Mu did not expect that this was actually the case. Wang Jian actually did not forget to send a letter to Ying Zheng to invite rewards at this critical juncture of the war.
Li Mu didn't know what to say for a moment, but Wang Jian waved his hand and did not argue with Li Mu on this matter. The next moment, he asked Li Mu to go back to his place and make sure to ensure the safety of the food and grass.
Although Li Mu didn't understand what he meant, he thought about it and thought that Wang Jian had anticipated everything that happened before. Moreover, at such an old age, he had already lived a mature life, so he must have been confident for a long time.
So Li Mu just said a few words that the military plane should not be delayed, and left from here.
Soon after, the troops successfully departed from here and headed towards Pingyu, and Li Mu felt relieved immediately.
The troops were marching in the Chu land. Li Mu watched the troops crossing the Chu road. The surrounding villages were deserted, but the fields were lush and green. The desolate and vibrant scenes complemented each other, which brought Li Mu a lot.
There is an indescribable feeling.
Although this is still the land of China, for me now, it is a territory outside of the Qin State. This is a territory that the Qin State is waiting to open up.
Since it is an expansion of territory, this is not a just war, but such a war will inevitably be more intense, just like the situations I experienced on the battlefields before, as a guardian of mountains and rivers desperately resisting foreign enemies.
But this time I looked at everything from a different angle.
Li Mu's thoughts hadn't drifted away for long when Ge Da, whom he knew before, ran up from behind and walked quickly beside the chariot and said to Li Mu.
"Captain, we have approved the food and fodder, which is enough for the army to trek for three days, and the rear is also sending it in a steady stream, so there will be no serious problems."
Just after Li Mu returned to his place, he asked the officers around him to make statistics on the situation. He was the captain of the army in this army. I heard that this position was a high position in the Qin State, but he could only be regarded as his majesty.
Temporary appointment.
To put it bluntly, he was in charge of logistics, but after all, this was an army commanded by his father, and Li Mu's position in this army was only lower than Wang Jian.
Li Mu nodded when he heard Ge Da's report. Seeing him running hurriedly below, he extended his hand to let him come up. Ge Da was flattered, but he also hurriedly got into the chariot.
"My lord, please don't worry. The chariots used to transport grain and grass will not be delayed. Besides, with all the men and horses here, the Chu army would not dare to come forward to ask for trouble."
Ge Da grinned and said, but Li Mu also knew in his heart that Wang Jian and many logistics vehicles were driving on the road, followed by a large number of cavalry, and Wang Jian's infantry troops had already passed through the small road to Pingyu.
The infantry and cavalry can arrive at the same time, and when the time comes and the Qin army attacks from both sides, the Chu army will definitely be caught off guard.
"Ge Da, do you think my father...general can take us to capture the entire Chu Kingdom during this trip?"
Li Mu suddenly asked Ge Da. The other party was stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, there is no city that cannot be conquered if the general takes action."
Ge Da said this confidently, but Li Mu asked again: "Why do you think so? Didn't you say that General Li Xin suffered a loss here before?"
Li Mu asked, but Ge Da looked a little embarrassed, but said in a low voice: "We can't talk about General Li Xin's affairs, but General Wang is definitely fine. In the past, when we attacked Wei and Zhao, the generals were all the same."
If we attack, we will definitely win, not to mention that there are still 600,000 troops."
"General Wang is as talented as Mr. Wu An. Your Majesty can rest assured to leave this matter to the general, so there must be something wrong with it."
Li Mu also pouted when he heard this. He felt that Ge Da and other Qin army officers seemed to have an air of confidence. He didn't know whether it was blind confidence or indeed superior ability.
"It's just that I don't know what happened to the general this time. Along the way, he refused to let your majesty give him a promotion or promotion. However, he kept asking for some rewards from your majesty. I even asked him several times. I don't know why."
At this time, Ge Da said this, and Li Mu also raised his eyebrows.
"Then don't you think it's strange?"
"It's a bit strange, but it doesn't matter. The general is in charge and can't get rid of ten thousand people. As long as he is here, just follow and attack and win."
