Both Li Mu and Lian Po knew that once the war started, recruitment work would need to continue. Wars, especially wars to destroy a country, often involve the most brutal confrontation between the main forces of both sides.
In the era of cold weapons, war is like a meat grinder. No matter what country it is, it needs to continuously invest in troops. One general can make thousands of bones dry, let alone determine the life and death of a country.
Both Li Mu and Lian Po knew this. It was precisely because of this that Li Mu went south to launch a palace coup, because he knew that he could never be constrained by the imperial court.
"In this case, I will take the first step!" Li Mu said to Pang Yuan and Lian Po: "Wang Jian is by no means simple. Once Jingxing Pass is breached, we will have no chance."
"Thank you, Mr. Wu'an."
........
Watching Li Mu leave, the solemn look in Lian Po and Pang Yuan's eyes did not disappear, but became more and more intense. They all knew how chaotic the current Zhao Dynasty situation was.
"Wu'an Jun confronts Qin General Wang Jian. Even if he cannot win, he can still hold back Wang Jian's army. Now what we need to consider is the direction of Wu'an and Anyang."
"The commander-in-chief of the Qin State in the direction of Wu'an is Jiuyuan Hou and the Qin State General Meng Tian, while the commander-in-chief in the Anyang direction has been determined to be the Qin State's crown prince Ying Gao."
"According to our information, the Qin State has divided its forces this time. Only Meng Tian in the direction of Wu'an has 100,000 elite cavalry, which is considered the smallest force."
A look of solemnity appeared in Pang Yuan's eyes, and she turned towards Lian Po and said: "And in the direction of Anyang, the number of the Qin army is definitely not less than 200,000, or even around 300,000."
"For now, in Handan, the biggest threat to Zhao is not other people, but Ying Gao and his army."
"The Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty is a genius at capturing fighter planes. He will never let go of this opportunity when the Zhao Dynasty is unstable."
Hearing this, Lian Po smiled bitterly and said word by word: "Logically speaking, I should go to Anyang to stop the Crown Prince of Qin. However, the current situation in the government and the public is in chaos, and it is difficult for the Prime Minister alone to deal with it."
"And on the military side, whether it is integrating the army in the hinterland or recruiting troops, one person needs to be in charge."
Speaking of this, Lian Po suddenly turned to Pang Yuan and said: "If I go to Anyang, can the Prime Minister alone support the Zhao Dynasty?"
"The palace coup has just ended, and the court needs strong people to support it. Although I am somewhat famous, my qualifications are still too low. Originally, Lord Wu An was the best."
Pang Yuan smiled bitterly: "However, the situation at Jingxingguan is related to the life and death of Zhao State. Lord Wu An has to go north. At this moment, if Ya Xiang also leaves, I am afraid that the situation will be difficult for me to handle."
"Some forces such as the Zhao royal family, meritorious elders, and even the remnant forces of Guo Kai and others will never be willing to fail, and the unstable situation in the government means that the situation will be even more difficult."
For a moment, Lian Po and Pang Yuan were speechless, feeling helpless in the face of the complex Zhao Dynasty situation.
"I hope General Anyang and the Order of Anyang can hold on for a while, so that we can integrate the government and have time to go to Anyang for support." After a while, Pang Yuan spoke.
At this time, Lian Po also echoed, saying: "For now, this is really the only way."
The Qin soldiers marched in three groups with great momentum. This news also spread throughout the Shandong countries, and the news of the palace coup in Zhao State shocked all the major forces in the Central Plains.
At this critical moment, the palace coup was launched, and the performance of Zhao's government and the public left everyone in the world dumbfounded.
Valley
"Shangqing, we have been detained. There are soldiers everywhere outside the official post. I am afraid that there has been a big change in the Zhao Kingdom and the public!" A follower said to Dunrui.
"Why!"
At this time, Dunruo felt helpless. He was also unlucky. He had just met Guo Kai, and then there was a palace coup in Li Mu. Zhao Bianqi blocked the four gates of Handan, which forced Dunruo to live in Guanyi. among.
Compared with the chaos of Handan City, Guanyi is undoubtedly safe. At least he is the legitimate envoy of the King of Qin. Unless Li Mu wants to kill everything, his safety can still be guaranteed.
"I'm really cheating on you. I thought it was a great achievement, but now I have become a prisoner." Shang Qing smiled weakly, feeling quite helpless.
Of course, things in the world are unpredictable. Although it was the first time for him to encounter such a situation, he had somewhat anticipated it and did not panic.
"Contact Hei Bingtai and spread the news. At the same time, tell the prince the real situation in Handan City at this moment. Also release the news that Pang Yuan wants to replace the Zhao family."
As he rolled his eyes, Dunwei had an idea in his mind. For a person like him, even if he was imprisoned, as long as he was not cut off from the outside world, it would not have a big impact on him.
"promise."
Compared to Wang Jian and others, Dun Ruo trusted Ying Gao more. He had worked with Ying Gao before, so he naturally knew Ying Gao's keen insight into the situation.
The situation in Zhao State changed drastically, and he had to report the news to the decision-makers of Qin. Originally, Qin Wangzheng was the right person, but Qin Wangzheng was based in Xianyang, which was too far away.
On the contrary, Ying Gao, who served as the main general to attack Zhao, became the most suitable candidate. He believed that Ying Gao could adapt to changes. After all, he knew how powerful Ying Gao was.
Holding the Lulu sword in his hand, he is also in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops. Once the critical moment comes, even the general Wang Jian will obey Ying Gao's orders.
.........
People in the Zhao Kingdom were panicked. Suddenly there was a palace coup, and no royal minister came forward to stabilize the government and the public. Even though it was related to Wu'an Lord Li Mu, rumors were still rife throughout the Zhao Kingdom.
What's more, at this time, the Qin Dynasty's conquest of Zhao had already begun. Under such circumstances, it was even more difficult to conquer people's hearts.
Anyang.
Anyang ordered to go to Handan to ask for help. He was halfway there at the moment, and Anyang general Ma Fu looked solemn. The Qin army's weapons were unparalleled in the world.
The range of Qin Nu and catapults alone was a dead end. The only thing that made him feel relaxed was that they had been fully prepared.
Whether it was rolling stones, rolling wood, or fierce fire and oil, he had prepared numerous preparations. Facing the army on the opposite side, Ma Fu believed that he could hold out for three days.
Even if the commander of the Qin army on the opposite side is Lord Wu'an of Great Qin and the crown prince of Great Qin, so what, he believes in himself and also believes in Lord Wu'an of Zhao, Li Mu.
How could the great Zhao State lag behind others?
"General Ying, the soldiers of the broken army are ready. Do you want to attack immediately?" Bai Zhong got on the chariot and said towards Ying Gao.
Hearing this, Ying Gao shook his head and said: "General Bai Zhong, in this battle, I am just a spectator. You are the main general. You can just do whatever you want. There is no need to worry about me."
