Linle City.

For some reason, when he got up on Lejian that day, he suddenly felt a palpitations inexplicably, and he was spinning and sat on the ground.

The captain of the guard who happened to walk into the door was shocked and rushed up in a hurry, helping Lejian up directly. He was about to call the doctor, but suddenly he was pulled by Lejian.

"It's okay... help me up!"

Lejian's words were very firm, with a completely unrejectable meaning, which forced the captain of the guard to subconsciously obey the order and helped Lejian onto the bed.

"Your Majesty has been overworking these days, so let's take a rest first." Looking at the pale face and leaning against the couch, the captain of the guard was worried and couldn't help but whisper.

As a confidant who has been with Lejian for almost twelve hours, this personal guard captain knows how busy Lejian has been in the past.

Every day during the day, Lejian had to get up early to deal with the attacks of the Zhao army, and then fight all day long, and then patrol the city once at night. After patrol the city, it had to deal with a lot of military affairs after returning.

Although it is just a city in Linle, when more than 300,000 Yan soldiers and civilians squeezed into this city, many problems began to arise.

You should know that many places like Yan State, such as Liaodong County and Liaoxi County, have not had 400,000 people in total.

If many things cannot be handled in a timely and quickly, they may have an extremely bad impact on the entire city defense battle at any time.

It was precisely under such high-intensity work and the pressure brought by Zhao Jun that Lejian only slept for two hours every day. It was a good idea at first, but after a long time, this serious lack of rest was exposed.

Now, it is the time when the problem completely breaks out.

Lejian took a few deep breaths, then whispered: "Hurry up, go get some soup."

The captain of the guard did not dare to neglect it. After helping Lejian sit down, he immediately went to the kitchen. After a moment, he brought a soup: "Your Majesty, the meat soup that the cook has just made."

Lejian nodded and slowly drank the soup with the help of the captain of the guard.

The meat soup kept drinking, and Lejian felt that his strength seemed to be slowly returning, and his whole body began to improve a lot.

Suddenly, a rumbling drum sound came from outside the house.

Lejian listened with his ears and found that nothing was wrong, so he decided to eat the meat soup in front of him and go out.

He didn't want to faint in his command center in public.

A sudden sound of footsteps came, and after a moment, we arrived at the door.

"Your Majesty, Ji is urgently reporting!"

Lejian nodded and signaled to the captain of the guard. The captain of the guard immediately walked out, quickly took the thin piece of paper that had not been opened and placed it in front of Lejian.

Lejian was not in a hurry to open this secret letter, because in Lejian's opinion, it was not in a hurry to do this anyway. Moreover, the recent urgent report from the Jidu side of the pigeon always made Lejian feel like he couldn't eat, so he would just finish the soup first.

After a while, all the meat soup finally got into the stomach of Lejian.

The whole person felt warm during the music scene, and the few chills that came in from the door were completely dispelled, so he reached out to the secret letter in front of him.

The captain of the personal guards consciously picked up the tableware used in the music room and walked towards the door. When the emperor read the secret letter, no one needed to be present.

Just as the captain of the guard had just left the door, a scream suddenly came from the room that was almost as sharp as a human voice.

"This is impossible!!!"

The captain of the guard turned around and saw a stream of blood mist spurting out from Lejian's mouth. Then Lejian rushed forward and fell directly to the ground.

"Your Majesty!!!"

...

"The Empress Dowager Yan State and the King of Li Yan both ran away?" Li Mu stood in the main hall of Jidu Palace City. His head was the throne of the King of Yan, and many corpses of the Yan State Guard were upside down in front of him.

After entering the city yesterday, Li Mu actually encountered some obstacles. For example, the Yan State's Imperial Guard closed the palace gate very quickly and blocked Li Mu's vanguard troops outside the palace city.

Fortunately, since Li Mu entered the city, those guys who were willing to surrender to Zhao appeared in front of Li Mu. It was with the help of these guys that Li Mu finally successfully led his troops into the palace from a side gate.

After a fierce battle, Li Mu finally broke through the numerous obstacles of the Yan State Imperial Guards and completely eliminated the Yan State Imperial Guards who were still resisting stubbornly in the entire palace city. Then he learned that Empress Dowager Yan and his son had left.

This disappointed Li Mu.

For Li Mu, compared to breaking Jidu, Li Mu hopes more to achieve the goal of capturing Empress Dowager Yan and his son.

The capital can be moved if it is gone, but if the king is gone, it will not be chosen casually. After all, the king of Yan is still a minor boy, and there is no prince of Yan who can succeed to the throne in a critical moment.

So after thinking for a while, Li Mu immediately summoned Cai Niao and several other ministers of Yan State who surrendered to him.

"In your opinion, if Empress Dowager Yan and his son escaped, where would they escape?"

Although there is a saying in later generations that "the enemy is the one who knows you the best", the problem is that in this era, there are too many enemies of Li Mu and Zhao. The enemy of Yan was not the one who was concerned about Li Mu before, so it would be better to let these traitors continue to betray their king.

Anyway, for these traitors, since they have betrayed their king, they must go all the way to the dark.

After hearing Li Mu's question, Cai Niao and others couldn't help but look at each other, and then Cai Niao asked tentatively: "The Grand Governor is going to send someone to pursue the Queen Mother and the King?"

"It's not the king, it's the king of Yan." Li Mu corrected the other party's mistake very seriously and said, "Long before the expedition, the king had ordered people to send orders from Handan. Anyone who is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light will be my Zhao minister."

Cai Niao and others were naturally grateful for this and apologized to Li Mu, saying that they had indeed said it wrong before, and that they were all from Zhao.

To be honest, Cai Niao and others were more or less worried at the beginning. After all, the identity of a traitor is actually unpopular. If Li Mu finds an excuse to be cut off his head, there is no place to make any reason.

Fortunately, Li Mu's attitude is obviously accepted by Cai Niao and others. Under the premise of worrying about his life, his enthusiasm for loyalty for the new owner immediately exploded greatly.

After some discussion, Cai Niao said to Li Mu: "Grandmaster, we think that the Empress Dowager... Empress Dowager Yan and his son should have fled to Liaodong."

"Liaodong?" Li Mu was slightly stunned.

"That's right." Cai Niao said: "Now Linle City has been surrounded by General Pang Nuan, and going to Linle City is only a dead end. Therefore, if the Empress Dowager Yan and his son want to survive, they can only escape to Liaodong. Moreover, Liaodong is close to the vassal state of Yan, Jizi North Korea, may also get some help from Jizi North Korea."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, I will rest here for a day and then set out to pursue Empress Dowager Yan and his son."

"What?" As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, several traitors from Yan State immediately screamed.

Li Mu looked at the other party with a strange look and said, "Do you seem to have some opinions about my military use?"

Cai Niao hurriedly smiled and said, "The General was joking. What we mean was... Isn't the General sending people to stay in Jidu?"

Li Mu thought for a while, then said, "My deputy general Yi Qusheng will stay here."

Cai Niao and others were relieved. After all, if Li Mu directly led Zhao Jun away, the situation in Jidu would be hard to say.

After sending Cai Niao and others away, Li Mu summoned another strong bloody smell. Yi Qusheng, who had just killed someone, said to Yi Qusheng: "I will give you three thousand people, you will be responsible for guarding this city for me."

Yiqiusheng's eyes widened as soon as he heard this: "You want to go south to attack Linle? No, you must bring me with you too."

Li Mu glared at Yi Qusheng and said, "I'm not going to attack Linle, but to pursue Empress Dowager Yan and his son!"

Yiqiusheng muttered twice in dissatisfaction and said, "I have asked, the two mothers and sons only have about a thousand imperial guards, and they cannot pose any threat."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "That's not what he said. If Empress Dowager Yan and King Yan don't fall into our hands for a day, then the war in Yan State will be hard to say. Only by catching the mother and son as soon as possible can we ensure that the war in Yan State end as soon as possible."

In fact, Li Mu had another reason that was not worthy of being outsiders, that was, before the war started, the secret order came from Zhao Dan. In the secret order, Zhao Dan hoped that Li Mu could capture Empress Dowager Yan and his son as much as possible to ensure the safety of the mother and son.

Li Mu knew very well why this was. First of all, Empress Dowager Yan was a relative of the king after all, and secondly, the king also needed a living King Yan to surrender to Zhao State and then be named Yan Jun, just like Wei Zeng, the last king of Wei State before.

Now that Empress Dowager Yan and his son have fled to a bitter and cold place like Liaodong, to be honest, Li Mu is really worried.

If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers needed a rest after a series of battles, Li Mu would have wanted to set off now and catch the mother and son who shouldn't have escaped too far.

But Yiqiusheng obviously couldn't know the twists and turns here, so he glanced at Li Mu in confusion and said, "What are you anxious about? Spring has not yet passed, we have time."

Li Mu finally lost his patience and kicked Yi Qusheng hard, kicking Yi Qusheng in a staggering manner, almost falling to eat shit.

"It's like not eating toasts! If you want to stay, you will stay. There's not so much nonsense!"
