When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 530 Li Mu goes against the trend of the world

Li Mu sat in the big tent, a silent feeling of loneliness enveloped him.

In the past, when discussing the general trend of the world with Pang Nuan, he once said that the general trend of the world lies with Qin, and the alliance is the only chance to reverse the general trend of the world.

The failure of Hezong will mean that the general trend of the world is irreversible.

Unexpectedly, it became a prophecy.

Li Mu deeply felt the horror of this illusory world situation. God seemed to be taking care of the Qin State. At least in recent years, the Qin State had good weather. In contrast, the Zhao State had some droughts from time to time. The country can only accumulate disadvantages day by day.

Nowadays, the two countries are at war. Regardless of the military strength of the two sides, the gap between the civil servants and generals of the two sides is like a natural chasm.

The civil servants of Qin State were united in deploying military resources in the rear. Hangu Pass, Lantian Camp, Wuguan and other places bordering Wei, Chu and other countries were guarded by famous generals. Under such circumstances, Qin State could still deploy military resources. Wang Yan, Wang Jian and Zhang Ji divided into three groups to fight against Zhao Guo, and they had countless young talents serving under their command.

As for him, there was only one person around him whom he could trust, Sima Shang.

He thought he could turn the tide, but with only Sima Shang by his side, he realized that he was just a fool going against the general trend of the world.

If Hu Zou's [-]-strong army was completely annihilated, and the total collapse of Zhao's southern front changed Li Mu's war goal from repelling the Qin army to dragging down the Qin army like in the Battle of Danhan, until reinforcements from other countries arrived. , then the arrival of the second and third pieces of bad news was tantamount to plunging him into despair.

The second piece of bad news came from Li Mu's eldest son Li Gu, who stayed in Yanmen County with his two younger brothers and a group of grandchildren.

Li Gen sent news that the three counties of Dai were experiencing food shortages. After the Qin army captured Dai County, they did not attack Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, but distributed food on the spot to win over the people.

No one knows how to win the hearts and minds of the people of Daidi better than Li Mu. First, he relies on showing his own force and using the strong mentality of the people of Daidi to make the people of Daidi obey orders.

But as human beings, the people of all generations also hope to live a good life.

Who could not be tempted by a country that thought about them and sacrificed soldiers' rations to support them when they were hungry and cold?
If the people of Daijun return home, what will happen to the 15 Daijun border troops who return to Daijun?

Li Mu had just started to worry about this problem when the next piece of bad news solved the problem for him.

Strictly speaking, this problem was solved for him by the ministers of Zhao State.

The general who stayed in Danhan was Li Mu's second son Li Hong. News came that Zhao's ministers had cut off the food and salary of the 15 generations of border troops, confiscated the rations of the 15 generations of border troops who had stayed in Danhan, and had secretly transferred them to Danhan. They were identified as rebels and were not allowed to enter any city within Zhao's territory to rest and recuperate, and no Zhao people were allowed to provide them with supplies.

Li Mu's eyes were red and filled with murderous intent.

He really wants to kill all those insects!

Zhao Dai himself was alienated, but under his leadership, the two parties finally stood together when Zhao was facing an unprecedented crisis of annihilation. As a result, Zhao Dai was completely alienated because of the prince's unscrupulous words of moving to a party.

That's all. At least the purpose of these Daidi border troops is to return to Daidi to defend their hometown. Their purpose is to resist the Qin army. They can still share a lot of pressure from the Qin army for Zhao.

However, when these 15 generation border troops returned to Dai, they confiscated the rations left by the frontier troops in Danhan, and did not allow them to enter the city to rest and recuperate, forcing them to sleep in the open air back to Dai. Thousands of people are pushing towards Qin!

Combined with the Qin army's actions to win the hearts and minds of the people in Dai, he surrendered to the Qin army after changing places.

Even if they don't surrender, none of these 15 people will survive. At most [-] Qin troops can defeat them!
Hiss!

Li Mu slowly tore the three letters in his hand into pieces, using his internal force to completely shatter the scraps of paper into pieces, cutting off the possibility of recovering the contents of the letters. Then he looked at the messenger with a chill in his eyes.

This information must not be spread outside.

The letter has been destroyed, so only this messenger is left.

No one is more trustworthy than the dead. Although there are some ways to ask questions to the dead in the world today, there are still no such methods for this kind of thing.

What's more, Li Mu just needs to keep it secret while the army returns to Danhan, and the soldiers will know about it sooner or later.

Yes, Li Mu plans to withdraw his troops.

In other words, he had to withdraw his troops.If they don't withdraw their troops, Danhan will be captured first by Wang Jue and Ren Xiao and Huanjue who raid Danhan with [-] troops. If Danhan is captured and the Zhao royal family is taken over, then the Zhao Kingdom will also be defeated. Really dead.

Fortunately, Zhao Cong returned to Danhan with a regiment of [-] heavy armors one step ahead.

After rejoicing, Li Mu turned his attention to the messenger again.

Li Mu himself also has good martial arts skills, at least the combat power of a first-class master, otherwise he would not be able to overwhelm those martial artists.

It was naturally uncomfortable to be stared at by a top-notch master with murderous eyes. The messenger immediately felt cold all over his body. He couldn't help but raise his head that was originally lowered, and noticed that Li Mu was pressing the button. The movements of the Zhenyue Sword at the waist.

"General... General..."

The kneeling soldier wanted to get up and run away, but found that his legs were shaking uncontrollably, as if he had no bones and could not move at all. The sudden force not only failed to make him stand up, but instead fell to the ground, horrified. He looked at Li Mu who was approaching step by step.

Choke!

The Zhenyue Sword was slowly unsheathed, and the sword exuding a bloodthirsty cold light was already placed on the neck of the messenger. Even without the use of internal force, this sharp sword could easily cut off the head of the messenger. .

"General, I... I am also a generation. I killed wolves on the battlefield with the general in the early years. Please... please..."

Perhaps when he heard the word "generation", Li Mu thought of something. The Zhenyue Sword, which had drank the blood of countless prairie wolf clans in his hand, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and could not fall down no matter what.

Basically, all the people of Dai have returned to Dai's land with the 15 troops. Only a few people stayed in Danhan, together with his second son Li Hong, who is currently the guard of Danhan. Serve the State of Zhao.

The people who are still willing to stay in Danhan are basically the retainers of the Li family.

In other words, this was not only a veteran of Daidi who fought with him against the Prairie Wolf Clan, but also a retainer deeply trusted by his second son Li Hong, otherwise he would not have entrusted such an important matter to this person.

Li Mu hesitated.

Naturally, he understood the principle of not being in charge of soldiers, and he had never been an indecisive person, but it was really difficult for him to attack a former lord and loyal retainer.

"That's all, let's go." Li Mu took back the Zhenyue Sword, threw down a bag of sword coins that he carried with him, and turned his back to stop looking at the messenger. "Don't tell anyone what happened today. Go straight back to Daidi." Go ahead and live your life well."

The ordering soldier was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Li Mu three times before running out of the tent with the bag of sword coins without looking back.

Suddenly, the sound of a bowstring being pulled suddenly appeared behind the curtain of the handsome tent.

"Shang, let him go." Li Mu said calmly.

Sima Shang walked out from behind the door curtain, squinting one eye. The arrow was already on the bowstring. With Sima Shang's archery skills, as long as he relaxed his fingers slightly, the arrow could accurately penetrate the bowstring. The head of a famous messenger.

"Do you really want him to leave like this?"

Although Sima Shang had overheard the whole story and knew what kind of crisis Zhao Guo was facing now, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a teasing smile in his voice.

"Let him go. Even if he does tell the truth, it will only make the already unsolvable situation even more unsolvable."

Li Mu waved his hand with his back to Sima Shang, and Sima Shang immediately put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

Sima Shang was Li Mu's lieutenant and a close friend of Li Mu. No one knew Li Mu better than him. Although his arrow was aimed at the messenger, he already knew that Li Mu would not let him fire the arrow.

Li Mu could let his soldiers be stained with blood in battle, but he could not be so ruthless as to kill a soldier for no reason, let alone a retainer of the Li family.

Li Mu, who cannot be so ruthless, is a good man, but this also means that he will never be a qualified politician.

But for this reason, Li Mucai was more worthy of following than the politicians in Danhan, so he did not return to Daidi with the 15 generations of border troops, but chose to continue to follow Li Mu.

Even if he had to go against the current, he was willing to do so.
