Chapter 727 For the sake of China, let down the country of Zhao.
Looking at the direction in which the Qin army was leaving, Li Mu's voice was very low, but he could still hear: "This time, I will not make things difficult for you. I hope you will not disappoint me."
"Next time we meet on the battlefield, I will never hold back!"
At this moment, Li Mu's eyes were clear. Although Ying Gao's words could arouse his emotions, he had witnessed countless killings, so naturally he would not easily sympathize with others.
The reason why he cooperated with Ying Gao was that Ying Gao's words touched him very much. Is the general willing to take 500,000 troops north to Mobei Liting?
He did not answer, but Li Mu knew clearly that he was extremely willing to let him go north, even if he died on the battlefield, he would have no regrets.
He once asked Ying Gao: What is Liting?
Li Mu remembered that the smile on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth was extremely bright at that moment, and he even smelled the smell of blood from it.
He still remembered Ying Gao's calmness at the moment when he answered.
"To raise an army of five hundred thousand to conquer Mobei, we should plow its courts, sweep its huts, and set up prefectures and counties."
"If the earth collapses and the fire is extinguished, it is like disintegrating and the ice disappears; emptying its hides and hunting others; destroying its caves and emptying its nests as a guide for the expedition, burn down the residences of the Xiongnu herdsmen, plunder the cattle, sheep, gold and silver, and attack the Xiongnu atoms.
Everything the people have done will be repaid in the cruelest way."
"Wherever the army went, they killed the strong and captured all the young and young. They used the slogan of the Qin servants to go out and leave no grass behind, and destroyed the Xiongnu in one fell swoop."
........
This was Ying Gao's answer to him that day. He was shocked by this answer at that time. He felt that Ying Gao's murderous nature was too great, no wonder it was called human slaughter.
However, when Li Mu came back to his senses, he knew that Ying Gao's choice was the best way to solve the Xiongnu problem.
From these words, Li Mu immediately understood that Ying Gao had long wanted to conquer the enemy, but due to the current situation, he did not take action.
The Xiongnu in Mobei have always been a disaster to the Central Plains. However, the countries in the Central Plains only focused on competing for hegemony in the Central Plains and ignored the harm caused by the Xiongnu.
This is a kind of indulgence.
Li Mu has been guarding the border for many years, so he is naturally aware of the changes in the Xiongnu over the years. The Xiongnu has become more powerful under the constant indulgence of the Central Plains countries.
With Li Mu's eyes, he could naturally see that there was destined to be an unprecedented battle in the Central Plains. By that time, even if the Qin Dynasty won and annexed other countries to unify the Central Plains, it would be severely damaged.
At this time, once the Xiongnu went south and herded horses in the Central Plains, it would be a disaster.
And winning high is an opportunity.
Ying Gao was the first prince from any country he had seen who wanted to eradicate the Huns, and Ying Gao's first battle was with the Huns, so he knew the threat of the Huns better than ordinary people.
As for Ying Gao's behavior in the northwest, he also knew that when it came to foreign races, Ying Gao was extremely ruthless, even if Lord Wu'an of Great Qin was resurrected, he could do nothing more than that.
The same King Wu'an of the Great Qin Dynasty killed millions of enemies at home with one man, and was known as the God of Killing. He wiped out several countries in a row with one man at home, and was known as the Massacre of Humans.
Therefore, this time, Li Mu let Ying Gao go. He knew that Ying Gao was going to hold a conference of the northwest nations in Liangzhou to confirm Great Qin's occupation of the northwest.
Although Ying Gao's arrival in Liangzhou as scheduled will greatly increase Qin's national power and be a huge harm to Zhao, it will be a huge benefit to the Central Plains.
This time, he, Li Mu, failed Zhao for the sake of China, but he had a clear conscience.
.......
"General Ying, Zhao Jun has been following our army!"
"Do not care!"
Ying Gao knew that although his conversation with Li Mu aroused Li Mu's empathy, it opened the door to him and reduced a lot of difficulties.
However, empathy turns out to be a disaster once time passes.
And Li Mu was a famous general in the world. From Ying Gao's point of view, empathy could hardly exaggerate Li Mu's emotions. The reason why he allowed himself to leave calmly must have been because of his compassion.
As a military general on the border, he was naturally deeply aware of the dangers of the Xiongnu and the changes in the Xiongnu over the years. When he learned that he had the idea and determination to destroy the Xiongnu, he was naturally unwilling to embarrass himself.
After all, he was here to conquer Qi Mo, not to destroy Zhao State. In a certain sense, Li Mu and Ying Gao had no interest entanglement this time.
Even if Ying Gao is allowed to leave, it will not have a huge impact on the current Zhao State.
With so many thoughts in his mind, Ying Gao smiled calmly and said: "If another country's army entered our territory of Da Qin, at this moment, our three armies of Da Qin would have already attacked and annihilated them, let alone just monitoring them!"
After two days of rapid march, Ying Gao and others finally crossed most of Zhao's territory and arrived at Dongwu City.
"General Ying, Pingyuan City is a hundred miles ahead. If our army wants to reach Pingyuan City and enter the territory of Qi, we must cross the river!"
Wang Hu walked into the shogunate, raised his hands to Ying Gaoyi, and said: "My subordinates will gather the boats and then cross the river."
"No need, the matter of crossing the river will be dealt with directly by Li Mu. Since they have been following this general for so long, naturally they cannot be left idle!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Wang Hu smiled and said to Ying Gao, "General Ying, what if Li Mu doesn't agree?"
"Ha ha......"
Smiling, Ying Gao said: "The current general is a god of plague in the hearts of King Zhao and Li Mu. They hope that I will leave the Zhao Kingdom quickly so that they can watch a show."
"If you go to Li Mu, he will naturally agree. Although Qi Mo's power is not comparable to that of Great Qin, it is not weak. It is much safer to go to Li Mu near Qi than to go to the ship ourselves."
Hearing this, Wang Hu bowed deeply to Ying Gao and said, "My subordinates have learned a lesson!"
After that, he turned around and left.
........
Ten miles away, Zhao Jun camped.
All the generals were present in Li Mu's shogunate.
"Jun Wu'an, the Qin army has arrived at Dongwu City. The next step is to go to the plains. Before going to the plains, they need to cross a large river. How do you think the Qin army will raise ships?"
The big river, that is, the Yellow River, is very wide. Although the flow of the river is gentle at this stage, it is not known that ordinary boats can cross the army.
In Zhao Shen's view, Ying Gao's move would inevitably collect ships in Dongwu City, then cross the river and head to the plains.
Hearing this, Li Mu took a deep look at Zhao Shen, meaningfully, and said, "What do you think?"
"If you were Ying Gao, what would you do?"
Zhao Shen is his deputy general. The capable generals of Zhao are all old, just like Lian Po and himself.
Since Zhao Shen was still young, Li Mu had some thoughts about mentioning Zhao Shen, and Zhao Shen also knew this, so when Li Mu asked, Zhao Shen thought about it in his heart.
He didn't answer casually. Since it was Li Mu who asked, there must be something extraordinary in it.
