At this moment, Zhao Guo's future took over the burden from Zhao Guo's past and began to fight Wang Jian for the first time. The two of them had fought before, but unfortunately, neither was as a general. This was their first encounter.
, The first thing Li Mu did when he came to the battlefield was to send Pang Gong back. He didn't want such an old Pang Gong to continue to struggle on the battlefield. Zhao still had him, so he wouldn't let an old man bleed and sweat again.
Afterwards, both of them began to carefully test their opponents.
Wang Jian did not dare to despise his opponent. Similarly, Li Mu did not dare to despise him. However, the battle situation was favorable to Wang Jian because he had sufficient food. He could continue to confront Li Mu, but Li Mu did not have such capital.
, and even a long-term confrontation will directly destroy Zhao's logistics. This is the strength of Qin, a kind of crushing of national power. This is a conspiracy. Even if the other party knows Qin's plan, there is no other way.
The only way is to attack and drive back the Qin people.
Li Mu did indeed do this. After a period of confrontation, Li Mu's attack was like a violent storm. He quickly sent knights to detour and cut the rear. He led the main force into three groups to attack Tunliu and Qingdu respectively. The third
The army went north directly by detouring through Yewang. This route was very familiar. It was the route taken by Lord Xinling when he attacked Qin. It was also the road that could bypass Hangu Pass.
This made Wang Jian suddenly break into a cold sweat.
The Li Mu in front of him is simply a madman. His deployment cannot be treated with ordinary eyes. This is the first time that Wang Jian has encountered such an opponent. Facing Qin, he actually dared to attack regardless of the situation. Of course Wang Jian did the same
Having made the most prudent plan, Wang Jian abandoned several nearby cities to reduce the length of the front, gathered troops to better protect his food routes, and also to resist the enemy's attack.
In the hands of Li Mu, the army of the State of Zhao also launched a powerful offensive. When Li Mu's banner appeared and launched the attack first, the soldiers of the State of Zhao were like tigers and wolves and began to attack crazily. These
The army trained by Li Mu was indeed very powerful in combat. Wang Jian repelled Zhao's army and took the initiative to attack and eliminate one of Li Mu's partial divisions. However, Qingdu was captured by Li Mu.
Afterwards, Li Mu led his army to attack Shangdang directly, leaving no room for himself.
Wang Jian first reported to Xianyang, hoping that Xianyang would pay attention to the river and be wary of the Zhao people crossing the river directly to the south. At the same time, he divided his soldiers and ordered Qi to lead a partial army to attack Handan directly, while he went to besiege Li Mu to prevent Li Mu from being in the Shangdang area.
After causing too much damage, Li Mu did not attack the big cities. He just attacked Qin's weakly defended countryside along the way and continued to obtain supplies from here.
Similarly, Qi's army also penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhao State and headed directly towards Handan.
King Qin and King Zhao were both frightened. What did these two people want to do?
King Qin and Lu Buwei were the first to react. King Qin hurriedly recruited another 50,000 soldiers, with Meng Wu as general, to destroy Li Mu's partial army... Of course, King Zhao also responded here, and King Zhao hurriedly recruited domestic soldiers
Forty thousand old and weak men, with Pang Gong as their general, went to resist Qi... The war suddenly became more intense. Wang Jian followed Li Mu, and at the same time asked Shangdang soldiers to help, hoping to directly eliminate Li Mu in Shangdang.
party.
However, Li Mu's march was extremely fast and relied on water. When Wang Jian was about to complete the siege, Li Mu quickly crossed the river and headed north. The partial division that wanted to attack Xianyang was waiting here. Li Mu joined forces with them and cooperated with Pang.
Gong, attacked the Qin army led by Qi Qi, followed closely by Wang Jian, crossed the river and attacked Li Mu's rear. The two sides went through a strange melee, and the casualties were very heavy.
And this is not in the interest of Qin State at all. Qin State's purpose is to confront and delay, rather than to confront Zhao State head-on in such terrain. After the melee ended, the two sides faced off again, and Li Mu assumed an offensive posture again, Qin State
The country took the lead in withdrawing its troops. Such a confrontation was not what Qin wanted to see. When Li Mu entered Shangdang, the people of Qin were frightened, fearing that he would destroy the cultivated land here. Fortunately, Li Mu did not do such a thing.
Facts have proved that this Li Mu is not someone who can be confronted. He is attacking from the beginning to the end, dragging Wang Jian around, making good use of Wang Jian's cautious temperament and not daring to advance. If Li Mu encounters Lian Po, Meng Ao
With such an impatience, I'm afraid he would have been chased and beaten. Of course, if he encountered such an impatient general, Li Mu would definitely not choose such a strategy.
After the war between the two countries lasted for a long time, it finally came to an end. Although Zhao paid a higher price than Qin, they really defeated Qin. This was their first victory since Ma Fujun defeated Qin.
After repelling Qin's attack for the first time, Li Mu's reputation spread throughout the countries, and the people of Zhao also welcomed this real hero as a hero.
The happiest person was probably Pang Gong, who was smiling from ear to ear.
Pang Gong had never been so happy. When he learned that Li Mu had launched an attack, he was so frightened that he almost died on the spot. He was very afraid that Li Mu would be wiped out, but Li Mu proved himself with this beautiful battle.
, although the casualties were huge, this was indeed a victory. The Qin people got scared and took the initiative to retreat. No one except Bai Qi could have used such a radical fighting style like Li Mu's.
Pang Gong has met many generals in his life. In his mind, the most capable fighter he has ever seen should be Bai Qi of Qin. The next closest to him are Le Yi, Zhao Kuo, and Wei Wuji. After them
The first ones are probably Lian Po, Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and then Zhao She, Tian Dan, Jingyang, and so on. But now, he feels that Li Mu can even be ranked in Le Yi's group. He is too fierce, and most people really
There is no way to stop him.
He is like a tiger, waiting for the most suitable opportunity, and then rushes towards the prey, never giving the prey a chance.
And the most important thing is that Li Mu is still young.
Pang Gong grinned and said nothing. He just looked at Li Mu. No one had ever seen Pang Gong so happy. Li Mu was a little embarrassed by Pang Gong. There was no clue that he was the tiger-like general.
When Li Mu returned to Handan with Pang Gong, King Zhao came out to greet him personally. King Zhao was convinced of Li Mu. He greeted Li Mu with the highest courtesy, which confirmed Li Mu's importance in his heart.
Of course King Zhao wanted to hold a banquet. Under such circumstances, how could he not hold a banquet?
The State of Zhao fell into a state of carnival. The Zhao people experienced several defeats, the departure of Ma Fujun, and the departure of Lian Po. Finally, they waited for a long-lost victory. This was different from Wei Wuji's time. This was the Zhao people themselves.
Such a happy atmosphere can be seen even in the palace after the victory. The musicians played high-pitched music, and the King of Zhao drunkenly jumped into the middle of the ministers and danced.
Zhao Ren's dancing posture is very heroic, with his hands open and closed, as if he is fighting.
King Zhao invited Li Mu to come off the stage and dance with him in person. Li Mu was not polite. The two danced to the heroic music. The ministers clapped their hands and their hands were red from the clapping. Even Guo Kai, although he hated Li Mu, also
It was inevitable that he would not be infected by such an atmosphere, and he couldn't help but clapped his hands. The palace was full of laughter. Pang Gong sat in his seat with a smile. Looking at this scene, he couldn't express the happiness in his heart.
of.
Like a giant carrying a mountain taking the mountain off his shoulders.
Like a traveler seeking water who sees a clear spring in the desert.
Pang Gong has never been drunk. This was his first drunken time. Listening to the music, he wanted to go out and dance. Unfortunately, he couldn't dance anymore. At some point, Pang Gong saw Lian Po dancing in the crowd.
Lian Po was still the same as before. He waved the sword in his hand and was not afraid of hurting others. He saw Tian Dan looking at Le Yi silently. The two looked at each other for a long time before he raised the wine in his hand.
cup.
He saw Lou Sui and Ju Xin smiling and chatting, and asked about each other's past.
He saw Zhao She singing loudly.
He saw a lot, a lot, he saw his family, he saw all his friends.
"Pang Gong? Pang Gong!! Pang Gong~~~"
It seemed like someone was calling his name eagerly.
He saw the young general Li Mu. In the snow-white world, Li Mu looked at him uneasily. Pang Gong stepped forward and hugged the young man in front of him, "Zhao Guo, I will leave it to you...
Please take good care of him for me. It would be a pity if no one plays such a heroic song and such a beautiful dance, and if it is forgotten..."
.....
On the day Li Mu returned from victory, King Zhao held a banquet to entertain the ministers.
Pang Gong looked at them motionless.
Until a minister realized something was wrong, his exclamation finally interrupted the banquet. Li Mu and others rushed to Pang Gong's side and called his name. Unfortunately, Pang Gong had already stopped breathing, and his face
His face was full of smiles, grinning, and he was so happy. Li Mu cried very sadly. He hugged Pang Gong’s body and cried for a long time. Even King Zhao jumped to ask the imperial doctor to order that the old man must be saved.
General.
Unfortunately, the imperial doctor's order did not save him. King Zhao knelt on the ground and pulled his hair.
On this day, Zhao State welcomed its own heroes and also sent away its own heroes.
Pang Gong's funeral was very solemn. Many people came to bid farewell. Li Mu was at the forefront. The generals of Zhao State lifted Pang Gong's body and took him to be buried. The rich atmosphere of joy in Zhao State was also due to this.
And disappeared. On the street, the people gathered together to mourn the general spontaneously. The soldiers beat their shields with their swords to bid farewell to the general for the last time. Pang Gong finally fell asleep.
Fortunately, he left with good hopes.
The death of Pang Gong was not a small blow to the State of Zhao, but also to those who valued him.
Zhao Kuo learned the news from Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei should have been happy. The death of Pang Gong was the best news for Qin. With Pang Gong gone, Qin lost another powerful opponent. But when Pang Gong passed away, Qin lost another powerful opponent.
He looked at the silent Zhao Kuo in front of him, but he could not reveal the joy in his heart. Zhao Kuo was not surprised. Pang Gong was already very old, and Zhao Kuo might have been used to such parting in his heart.
What does it matter? I am getting old too.
According to what Di said, we will be able to meet sooner or later.
Zhao Kuo's low mood also affected his family. On this day, Yi did not ask any questions, and Shan did not dare to disturb his father. She put a big smile on the ground and wrote "Father" on the side. Zhao Kuo
When he smiled, all the sadness seemed to be hidden under that smile.
.....
Chu State, Shouchun
When Chun Shen heard the news brought by the warriors about Pang Gong's death, he casually sent an envoy to Zhao to pay his respects and ignored him. This was not because Chun Shen was ruthless, but because Chu was also facing such a problem.
King Chu, who had always been strong, fell ill during this year's cold winter. King Chu's health became worse day by day, and he began to become weak at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sword that never left his side was now powerless.
lying on the bed.
Its owner can no longer lift it.
The King of Chu felt very scared. He did not dare to be alone, so he asked Lord Chun Shen to stay with him.
Chun Shenjun was also very scared, and he did not dare to be alone. The two had been friends for decades and had never been separated. Chun Shenjun stayed with King Chu and listened to King Chu's chatter.
Talking about the past, the King of Chu told about the past events between him and Lord Chun Shen. In the end, the topic always fell on Qi, the young master of Qin State. King Chu held Lord Chun Shen's hand several times and told him
own guilt.
He should not have left his wife in Qin, and he should not have ignored his eldest son. He was very afraid that he would meet Qi's mother and that his mother would question him.
The King of Chu wanted to welcome Qi back and make him the King of Chu.
However, at this time, Chun Shen Jun hesitated a little. It is not that Chun Shen Jun had any conspiracy. The main problem was Qi, because his mother was the daughter of King Zhaoxiang and the sister of King An Guo, so he was
The Qin State received very good treatment, and the people of Qin even regarded him as a general. It is said that the current King of Qin regards him as his confidant. He has lived in the State of Qin since he was a child, and he cannot even speak Chu language...
If such a person is brought back to be the king, Lord Chun Shen is really worried. Such an approach is inviting a traitor to be the king. Does he still have a sense of identity with the Chu country? Does he still have respect and love for the King of Chu? He
Will they pay attention to Chu State?
Chun Shenjun can't guarantee it.
However, in the eyes of some people, Chun Shenjun's actions seemed to prove that Chun Shenjun wanted to take away the throne of King Chu. There were rumors that the sons of the current King of Chu were all Chun Shenjun's illegitimate sons.
When he becomes the King of Chu in the future, Lord Chun Shen will naturally replace Chu's blood with his own blood, completing a usurpation of the throne. The King of Chu fell ill, and domestic affairs depended on Lord Chun Shen, so these people did not dare to cause trouble.
