Chapter 267: Between Two Difficulties

Nearly 100,000 Zhao's standing troops gathered in the Hedong Day Camp. This is the first line of Zhao's national defense against Qin. The barracks stretched for tens of miles, and there were many fortresses. Their only mission was to seal Qin in Han Dynasty Inside Guguan, don't let them step out of the closed gate. The standing army of the Hedong camp has always been maintained at more than 50,000. After the army from Daijun was transferred this time, the number increased sharply to nearly 100,000.

Zhao Mu, a famous general in the world, whether he was fighting against the Xiongnu or against the Qin State, he had never been defeated. This also made Zhao Mu famous. In Zhao Guo, most of the standing army generals come from his subordinates, which is the reason why he was never able to become a Taiwei, because his relationship with Gong Zilan is too close.

The current Taiwei of Zhao Guo belongs to the royal family, an old man who is over seventy years old, and basically does not go to court all year round. The only reason why he still stays in the position of Taiwei is that Zhao Mu was single-handedly picked up by him, and he is the only one who stays in this position Zhao Mu will not show dissatisfaction.

As a master of military strategy, Zhao Mu's strategic planning is unparalleled. More than ten years ago, he was the one who planned to seize the five cities of Liniaowei from Yan State, thus completely solving the problem of Yan State. The hidden dangers of Zhao State to Zhao State, so that Zhao State can wholeheartedly deal with the threats from the North and the West. It is also because of the existence of Zhao Mu that Zhao State is still firmly in the second position despite the decline in national power over the years. superior.

This time Zhao Guo was in a sudden crisis, which was completely beyond Zhao Mu's expectations, which made him a little uneasy. Deep in his heart, he always had a faint feeling that something was going to happen. , Zhao Mu did not express any objection, in his opinion, the threat of Qin State is indeed much greater than that of the Xiongnu, and coupled with the grievances between King Zhao and Gong Zilan in the country, he can't say anything more.

It has been several months since I came to Hedong, and the Qin army in Hangu Pass on the opposite side has not moved, which further deepens Zhao Mu's inner anxiety. The spies are sent out continuously, but the news brought back has never changed. A large number of people gathered at Hangu Pass, Qin generals Ying Teng and Li Xin were all in Hangu Pass.

The battle of Yanzhao has already started, but the Qin army on the opposite side still shows no signs of attacking. On the other side of Daijun, the Xiongnu invaded aggressively, and most of Daijun has been lost. Now Gongzilan's private army can only hold a stronghold Fortunately, some arrangements have been made in advance, and the only thing we can do now is to minimize the losses. The Huns' army is about to reach Xiling, Daijun City, and it should be over.

Zhao Mu sighed, this time the arrangement, Zhao Wang is indeed hiding selfishness in his heart, after this battle, Gong Zilan's strength will be greatly reduced, Zhao Mu has nothing to say about this, politics is like this .

Perhaps, this is also a good thing for Zilan. His strength is too strong, which is indeed an unstable factor for Zhao Guo. Thoughts, as a general of Zhao State, for the sake of Zhao State, he can only acquiesce in King Zhao's strategy of killing two birds with one stone this time.

The sun is shining in spring, and the grass is growing and flying, it is a good time for spring, but Zhao Mu is not in the mood to go out for a walk, nestled in the big tent, holding a book of war in his hand, his eyes fixed on the book, In fact, not a single word was read.

What is Qin going to do? Why is there no movement? Regarding Li Xin and Ying Teng, he dare not neglect him in the slightest. If there are generals in this world who can make Zhao Mu feel like a big enemy, these two must be the ones that give him the most headaches.

Could it be that Li Xin gathered the army just to stop himself at Hangu Pass and watch the fun? This is not in line with the Qin army's usual style. How could they let go of such a good opportunity? It is Qin who completely defeated Zhao Guo The dream of kings and ministers.

Suddenly there were chaotic footsteps and noisy voices outside the tent. Zhao Mu frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He was very strict in the army. No noise was allowed inside the barracks. What are these people outside doing? With a bang, he threw the military book on top of the big case.

The guards standing beside him immediately walked out knowingly.

After a while, the soldiers turned back, but their faces were a little pale. Behind him was a general of the Zhao army, and behind the general, several people who looked like sentry cavalry were carrying a Qin The wounded in military uniform, blood dripped down from the wounded.

Zhao Mu sat up straight, this Zhao Jun general was his cavalry general An Hao.

"What happened?" Zhao Mu asked.

"General, the sentry cavalry I sent out to patrol was fifty miles away from the camp. When they encountered this person and were hunted down, they killed those pursuers and rescued this person. Unexpectedly, those who were killed They are all spies from the Black Ice Terrace of Qin State." An Hao took a step forward, and placed the dozen or so signs in his hand on Zhao Mu's desk. "I thought it might be something important, so I lifted him up Come and report to the General."

The dark iron plate, with gold-plated handwriting, looks like it is indeed the identity plate of the Black Ice Platform. Zhao Mu has seen many of these things before.

"Who is the Black Ice Terrace going to kill?" He glanced at the wounded being carried by the sentinel riders, "Who is he?"

"Tiger and Leopard Rider!" An Hao swallowed, "This man only told me his name is Iron Hammer, and he passed out when he wanted to see you."

Zhao Mu's face suddenly changed. He knew that Iron Hammer was just a code name. It was the most successful spy of Zhao Guo Hubao Cavalry in the Qin Army. He heard that he had become a captain of the Qin Army's standing army. Although he had never seen it before. Tie hammered himself, but he knew the existence of such a person.

The most successful spy has now given up everything in Qin and fled back like this, then something must have happened.

"Find the doctor, quickly, find all the doctors for me. Rescue him!" Zhao Mu shouted.

A group of doctors who followed the army swarmed in. Zhao Mu swept away everything on the big case, and put the man code-named Iron Hammer on top of the big case. Watching the doctors rescue him, Zhao Mu frowned and looked at the big case. He paced back and forth in the tent, looking up from time to time to see the unconscious wounded on the big case.

Something must have happened, otherwise, with Iron Hammer's current position in the Qin army, he would never have acted so rashly, even without covering up his whereabouts, and was being chased by people from the Black Ice Terrace. Kill, Iron Hammer has been in Qin State for more than ten years, and his whereabouts have always been well hidden.

As time passed, Zhao Mu's footsteps became more and more scrambling, and beads of sweat were already rolling on the faces of the doctors.

Finally, with a long, low sigh, all the doctors were relieved, this guy finally woke up, it's good to wake up, as for how long he can live, they can't think so much now, as long as he wakes up now, After finishing what he wants to say, that's all right, this guy is too badly injured, whether he can live or not depends on his luck.

Zhao Mu rushed to the big case in one stride. "Tie Hammer, I'm Zhao Mu!" he said loudly.

The man on the table slowly opened his eyes, and the focus of his eyes slowly gathered, gradually regaining his luster.

"I'm Zhao Mu!" The voice rushed into his ears, his body trembled suddenly, and he stretched out a hand, trying to grab something.

Zhao Mu tightly grasped the hand in the air, "Hammer, what do you want to say, what do you want to tell me?"

"Great General!" The voice was extremely low, Zhao Mu leaned down, put his ear close to the hammer's mouth, and listened to the other person's intermittent, almost incoherent words.

Li Xin is not at Hangu Pass!

The main force of the Qin army is going to fight the Huns!

Iron Hammer was still semi-conscious, but Zhao Mu still quickly figured out a clue from his intermittent narration.

As if one after another thunder was ringing in his ears, Zhao Mu swayed and almost fell headlong into the big tent.

Li Xin led the main force of the Qin army to deal with the Huns. Where are the Huns? The main force of the Huns is now attacking Dai County. They have penetrated hundreds of miles into Dai County.

Of course, Qin Jun would not be so kind to help Zhao Guo eliminate the invading enemies. They wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the troubles in the backyard first, and then they could wholeheartedly march eastward.

In an instant, Zhao Mu figured out Qin's intentions. There was no such a good opportunity. The Xiongnu thought that Qin was going to attack Zhao, and Zhao himself thought so, and everyone in the world thought so, but Qin just Ignore Zhao Guo, and went to copy the old nest of the Huns.

In order to achieve this goal, they dared to set up an empty plan in front of themselves, and they had been deceived for so long, Zhao Mu sighed, preconceived, everyone took it for granted.

Li Xin led the main force of the Qin army to deal with the Xiongnu, and he had a great hope of success. Once he succeeded? Zhao Mu didn't dare to think about it. If the county and Dai county are lost, what role can the Hedong camp have? Qin has opened another door to deal with Zhao.

Zhao Mu was dripping with cold sweat.

Iron Hammer fainted again, and the doctors carried him out of Zhao Mu's large tent of the Chinese army. Sitting in the blood-stained tent, Zhao Mu's hands were trembling slightly. A little calmer in the middle, but thinking a little more.

Outside the big tent, the drums of the gathered generals had sounded twice, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard outside the tent, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes could be heard from a little further away.

What Iron Hammer said, if it is true, then Qin Jun has indeed played a huge chess game with a view to the world, but what if it is false? If they have already known the identity of Iron Hammer and deliberately let him leak it What about this news? Li Xin is still at Hangu Pass, all of this is a scam, a scam aimed at him?

Zhao Mu found that he was suddenly caught in a dilemma. The safest thing was to wait for the news from the Huns, but if he got the news, would he still have time? (To be continued.
