Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 133 Sending Letters and Evaluation

The large troops of the Chu army left from Chencheng, and according to the account of the captives, everything confirmed Wang Jian's conjecture, that is, Xiang Yan had already taken most of the Chu army to Pingyu on the other side, and did it all of a sudden. decision.

When Li Mu heard the news, he naturally knew that the situation was serious. Although the Chu army did not have as many soldiers as Wang Jian, but he also saw it at the top of the city yesterday.

What's more, the Qin army led by Li Xin suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Chu army.

So Li Mu hurried towards Wang Jian, and Wang Jian seemed to be calculating something on the map at the moment, Li Mu hurried forward, but saw a messenger get off the carriage, put something into his arms, and then He immediately ran and led the horse away.

Seeing such a situation, Li Mu immediately thought that Wang Jian was sending a letter to Pingyu, and he also felt that what he was aware of had actually been thought of by Wang Jian a long time ago.

"Father, let's pursue as soon as possible. Since the Chu army is moving towards Pingyu, even if the messenger arrives, it may not be able to solve it safely. We still need our army to rescue the siege."

Li Mu boarded the car and said this to Wang Jian, but Wang Jian suddenly looked at Li Mu in surprise.

"What messenger did Ben Er say?"

Li Mu was stunned when he heard these words, and suddenly asked: "Isn't the soldier who hurried out with his things just now a messenger to Pingyu?"

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Mu's words, then he laughed and glanced at Mr. Gong next to him, and then said to Li Mu.

"Bier, the messenger just now is not going to Pingyu. The messenger just now is going back to Qin State to deliver a message to His Majesty."

"Send a letter? Send what?" Li Mu frowned.

"Of course it's to tell the king our achievements, and by the way, ask the king for some houses, fine wine and precious jade haha."

Wang Jian said with a smile, he seemed to be very frank when he said this sentence, and the surrounding soldiers could hear it clearly, but none of them looked surprised, as if they took it for granted.

Li Mu grinned, but suddenly remembered the characteristics of Wang Jian.

When I was in school, I read such an article in classical Chinese. It also said that because Wang Jianwei was old and was reused by Yingzheng many times, he was worried about being jealous, so before marching, Wang Jian asked Yingzheng for money and rewards. Stop and go, don't forget to ask Ying Zheng for rewards.

And Ying Zheng readily agreed, and Wang Jian led his troops to win the battle.

Most of the records in this history book are somewhat dramatic, but Li Mu did not expect that this was the case. This Wang Jian actually did not forget to send a letter to Ying Zheng to invite rewards at this critical moment of the war.

Li Mu didn't know what to say for a while, but Wang Jian waved his hand, and didn't tangle with Li Mu on this matter. The next moment, he asked Li Mu to go back to his place to ensure the safety of food and grass.

Although Li Mu didn't understand what he meant, Wang Jian had predicted everything before, and at such an old age, he had already become a human being, so he must have already made up his mind.

So Li Mu just said a few words that the military plane should not be delayed, and then left from here.

And not long after, the troops successfully pulled out from here and headed towards Pingyu, Li Mu's heart was immediately relieved.

The troops were marching in the Chu land. Li Mu saw the troops crossing the Chu road. The surrounding villages were deserted, but the fields were lush and green. The scene of desolation and vitality complemented each other. Come to an indescribable feeling.

Although this is still the land of China, for me now, this is the territory outside Qin State, which is the territory Qin State is waiting to open up.

Since it is to expand the territory, this is not a just war, but such a war will inevitably be more intense, just like the situation on the battlefields that I have experienced before, as the guardian of the mountains and rivers, desperately resisting foreign enemies.

But this time I looked at everything from a different angle.

Li Mu's thoughts hadn't drifted away for long when Ge Da, who he knew before, ran up from behind and walked quickly beside the chariot and said to Li Mu.

"Captain, we have already approved the food and grass, which is enough for the army to travel for three days, and the rear is also sending it in a steady stream, so there will be no serious problems."

Just now when Li Mu returned to his place, he asked the officers around him to count the situation. In this army, he is the captain of the guard army. I heard that this position is a high position in Qin State, but he can only be regarded as His Majesty. Temporary appointment.

To put it bluntly, he is in charge of logistics, but after all, this is the army led by his own father, and Li Mu's position in this army is only lower than Wang Jian.

Li Mu nodded when he heard Ge Da's report, and when he saw him running hurriedly below, he stretched out his hand to let him come up. Ge Da was flattered, but he also hurried into the chariot.

"Your Excellency, don't worry. The vehicles used to transport grain and grass will not miss the time. Besides, there are so many people and horses, so the Chu army would not dare to come forward to ask for trouble."

Ge grinned and said, but Li Mu also knew in his heart that Wang Jian and many logistics vehicles were driving on the road, followed by a large number of cavalry, and Wang Jian's infantry had already rushed to Pingyu through the trail.

The infantry and cavalry can arrive at the same time, and when the time comes and the Qin army attacks from both sides, the Chu army will definitely be caught off guard.

"Ge Da, do you think my father... the general can take us to capture the entire Chu country during this trip?"

Li Mu suddenly asked Ge Da like this, the other party was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, if the general goes out, there is no city that cannot be defeated."

Ge Da said so confidently, but Li Mu asked again: "Why do you think this, didn't you say that General Li Xin suffered losses here before?"

Li Mu asked, but Ge Da looked a little embarrassed, but said in a low voice: "We can't talk about General Li Xin's affairs, but General Wang is definitely fine. In the past, when we attacked Wei and Zhao, the generals were all the same." We will win if we attack, not to mention there are still 60 troops."

"General Wang is as talented as Lord Wu An. Your Majesty is confident that this matter will be entrusted to the general, so there must be something wrong."

Li Mu also pouted when he heard this sentence, feeling that Ge Da and other Qin army officers and soldiers seemed to have an aura of confidence, and he didn't know whether it was blind self-confidence or really outstanding skills.

"It's just that I don't know what's wrong with the general this time. His Majesty was not allowed to give him an official title along the way, but he always asked His Majesty for some rewards. He asked His Majesty several times. I don't know why."

At this time, Ge Da said so, and Li Mu raised his eyebrows immediately.

"Then don't you find it strange?"

"It's strange, but it doesn't matter. The general is one man in charge, and ten thousand men can't open it. With him, it's good to follow and rush to win."
