However, for those who are truly discerning, although Qin failed to win this war, it did not result in nothing.
The most important result of the battle was that the Zhao army was also seriously damaged under Wang Jian's fierce attack. Li Mu could not take the opportunity to regain the lost ground like he did when he defeated Huan Jue. He was even unable to maintain the existing front line and could only helplessly shrink the defense line.
, withdrew the troops and stationed them near HD.
The second gain is that Li Mu, who had just been granted the title of Lord Wu'an by King Zhao and relied on as the pillar of the country, had already developed an irreparable rift with his king.
During the period when HD was being harassed, Zhao Wangqian, driven by the advice of civil and military officials and his own timidity, issued several edicts ordering Li Mu to return to the capital to aid. However, Li Mu always thought that "the general is away, and the king's orders are not respected."
Rejected for the reason.
Even several of the lieutenants sent to Li Mu by King Zhao Wangqian were executed by Li Mu for disturbing the morale of the army and having evil intentions because they excessively used the king's orders to force Li Mu to withdraw his troops and return reinforcements.
Although HD was not disturbed by Sima Shang's efforts, and the Dukes above the court were fine, the rift between the monarch and his ministers was inevitable.
This kind of thing is inevitable. Li Mu currently holds more than 60% of Zhao's military strength. It can be said that he has absolute military power.
As the king, Zhao Wangqian refused his repeated orders on the grounds that the general was away. Who can accept this? Who can feel at ease?
As long as he is a normal king, he cannot accept it. If he can accept this situation, it only means that this king is a great injustice, iron and honest.
Even Ying Zheng wouldn't be able to endure this situation.
However, a king with a clear mind can sort out current affairs and will not shrink in power without thinking.
At present, the State of Zhao is in turmoil and powerful enemies are on the lookout. As a general of the Zhuguo State, although Li Mu is disobedient and disobeys the king's orders, what he does is ultimately beneficial to the country and he does not show any intention of being disloyal.
Tolerance still has to be tolerated.
At least... you can find opportunities to hammer and hammer in peacetime, but when marching and fighting, you have to be willing to delegate power.
It's a pity that Zhao Wangqian is not that big-hearted.
Once Li Mu refuses to listen to the propaganda again, he may not be able to tolerate it anymore...
In fact, the reason why Li Mu withdrew his troops to garrison in the HD area this time and handed over part of his military power was to show weakness to King Zhao and try to make up for this fragile relationship between monarch and minister.
Of course, in order to prevent Zhao Wangqian from acting recklessly, the most elite northern frontier troops were firmly held by Li Mu, and those handed over were all frontier troops from the southern counties.
As time went by, another thing gradually spread among the countries, that is, the prince Yan Dan of the Yan State, who was held as a hostage in the Qin State, escaped from Xianyang and returned to the Yan State.
It is not uncommon for hostages to escape in various countries. The father of Qin King Yingzheng and King Qin Zhuangxiang were hostages in Zhao State and later escaped back to Qin State with the help of Lu Buwei.
However, although the matter is not new, it is still somewhat inappropriate for Qin Guo's army to be at its peak now, and Proton Mao to rashly abscond in private.
King Yan was indeed worried at first, but later he felt relieved when he saw that the Qin State did not seem to want to investigate further.
He only thought it was because the war with Zhao State was unfavorable and Qin State had nothing to do, so he took it lightly.
For this reason, after Yan Dan fled back to Jidu and casually said something to King Yan about how dangerous his life in Xianyang was, he was not held accountable.
However, Yan Dan was not punished at all.
I don't know whether it was simply because of his private escape this time, or because he had some thoughts about the violent death of Yan Chunjun, his biological brother. He did not rush to let the prince Yan Dan enter politics again to assist him in supervising the country, but first let him stay as the prince.
Confinement in the mansion.
You can go out freely, but you are not allowed to meet with court officials privately or interfere with political affairs.
He said that he would wait until the prince got married and officially started a family before making a decision.
Yan Dan has no objection to this.
It is normal for King Yan to want him to have a family. He is not young anymore, and logically he should have started a family long ago, but he has been putting it off.
In the past, King Yan was too lazy to care about this and did not force it. This time, it was reasonable and reasonable to raise it.
Yan Dan is not in a hurry, he just doesn't see the courtiers if he can't see them. Lord Yan Chun is dead, what else does he need to worry about above the court?
It just so happened that he took this opportunity to hide for a period of time and transform into the leader of the Mohist family to carefully investigate what happened these days.
In addition to Yan and Zhao, South Korea has not been peaceful recently.
The Qin army's pressure on South Korea has never stopped. Nei Shiteng even deliberately provoked border disputes more than once. Fortunately, the South Korean army was more tolerant and the situation did not escalate.
However, these vague signals made King Han feel restless, and his belly was about to shrink.
The envoys sent to Xianyang all sat on the bench and received only vague and perfunctory words without any definite answers.
Han Fei couldn't sit back and ignore this, so he had to run for his mother country again. However, even if he was covered with a layer of honor from the Imperial Prefecture, he could not do anything about this matter.
There are many people who are willing to sell favors to the Imperial Preceptor's Office, but the Imperial Preceptor's Office's reputation is not greater than that of the King of Qin.
Ying Zheng refused to let go of the matter, no matter how Han Fei's tongue blossomed, he could not talk to anyone.
All his actions were in vain... not completely useless, at least they got him into trouble again.
Li Si once again criticized Han Fei at the court meeting for his actions during this period.
The responders...no more, no less, at least not as few as before.
Firstly, Gu Xun, Han Fei's backer, left Xianyang, and secondly, there have been some undercurrents in Xianyang recently, and some people with keen senses noticed that the Imperial Master's Mansion does not seem to be so popular anymore.
At this time, Han Fei also knew that he was in a quagmire and was struggling, but... he still had good intentions, and even though he almost died, he still had no regrets!
For South Korea, he never regretted it. Even though the road ahead was gloomy, he could not stop.
After various attempts failed, Han Wangan also began to think of other ways to try to save his rule.
However, it is obviously impossible for him to think of any serious solution. South Korea currently has no serious solution to solve the predicament.
If you declare peace with others and ignore you, if you go to war directly, you will be beaten to death on the spot. Han Wangan has no choice.
Of course, his current desperate situation all comes from him and his father's mediocrity, and he deserves it.
As for the unorthodox method he thought of, it was very simple and old-fashioned, nothing more than getting married and ceding territory.
As for why there was no compensation... Haha, of course he would rather spend money to settle the matter than cede the land.
However, as the old saying goes, money is not the problem, the problem is lack of money.
? ?Historically, Li Mu did disobey Zhao Wangqian's orders many times, but there was nothing he could do. If he listened to his teammates, he would be dead. However, if he didn't listen, he would be sent directly.
? After Qin's counterintuitive plan worked, Zhao Wangqian ordered Li Mu to hand over his military power and return to HD to wait for disposal. Li Mu disobeyed and insisted on leading troops, but Zhao Wangqian sent people to secretly kill him.
? By the way, this battle was called the Battle of Panwu in history.
? The Qin army was actually defeated more severely and more simply than what I wrote. Li Mu completely accepted the attack and led his army to counterattack. He gave the Qin army a head-on blow and was defeated on the spot.
