"Jingyang!" Li Mu said to Zhao Kuo with great certainty.

"Jingyang?" Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, looking a little puzzled: "But Jingyang City is not an important city in Qin now."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Did General Zhao Kuo forget that Jingyang City was once the capital of Qin?"

When Qin first started, the base of this small country was Qinyi, the westernmost part of Guanzhong. Later, Qin gradually grew stronger and established Yongdu. Later, in order to facilitate the confrontation with Jin, the capital was moved to Jingyang, then Liyang, and finally Xianyang.

But the problem is that it happened almost two hundred years ago as the capital of Qin State. In two hundred years, Qin State's national strength has improved rapidly, and it has grown from Qin barbarians who lived in the western frontier to the overlord of the Warring States Period step by step. The capital of that year is now just a second-rate city in Qin State that is about to fall into a third-rate city.

However, from a political perspective, this city is still very important. For example, the four nobles, headed by Wei Ran, Marquis of Rang during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, were named the King of Jingyang. One of them, Zhao Fu, the second brother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, was also the biggest challenger to the throne of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and was named Jingyang Jun.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "After that being said, I still don't think Wang Jian will return to the army to rescue Jingyang."

Although Zhao Kuo did want to cooperate with Li Mu to fight this battle well, this does not mean that Zhao Kuo would obey Li Mu unconditionally. After all, Zhao Kuo is a master of "paper talk".

Li Mu smiled and looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "General Zhao Kuo is right at all. In fact, it is true, but there is a reason that Wang Jian must return to the aid. Please think about it."

Zhao Kuo thought for a moment, then suddenly his body shook and said in a lost voice: "The Qin King's Mausoleum outside Jingyang City!"

Li Mu laughed: "Yes, in fact, in addition to the Qin King's tombs outside Jingyang City, the Qin Dynasty's ancestral temples are also preserved in Jingyang City, so this place will never be abandoned for Qin. Besides, this place is not too far from Xianyang. If we take Jingyang, the Qin King and Chu in Xianyang will be shocked. If we take Jingyang, this two-pronged approach will be a high probability that Wang Jian's return to the army will be."

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "So General Li Mu intends to put the battlefield on the front line of Jingyang City and Liyang City?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's true. This area is between the Jingshui River and the Luoshui River, and is a wide plain. It is suitable for the large-scale rapid mobilization of our cavalry, which can best exert the advantages of our army. I wonder what General Zhao Kuo thinks of my plan?"

Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment and said, "When it comes to cavalry command, Zhao Kuoyuan is not as good as the Grand Governor, so he naturally dare not express his opinions randomly. However, after thinking about it, Zhao Kuo still felt that if our army occupied Jingyang City, Wang Jian might not have returned to the rescue."

Li Mu smiled and said, "If so, then I will burn the Qin Dynasty's ancestral temple and the entire Jingyang City together. This is not the first time I have done such a thing."

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu with a strange look, obviously remembering the story of Li Mu burning Liyang City back then. After a while, he said: "Even so, with the lessons of Liyang City, the Qin people still have the possibility of not withdrawing their troops!"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Then I will follow the story of Wu'an Jun and burn the Qin King's tombs outside Jingyang City together! If I do this, then King and Chu of Qin still do not order Wang Jian to return to his army to take revenge, I will see how he will lower himself to the ancestors of Qin!"

...

Wang Jian is busy siegeing the city.

The three old ways of trenching, cloud ladder, and rushing car have appeared. The walls of Yuanli City are trembling constantly, and countless Qin soldiers climb up like ants, gradually rushing to the top of the city.

In the fierce battle, more and more Qin soldiers began to rush up. Amidst the fierce cheers, the gate of Yuanli City was slowly opened.

Countless Qin soldiers turned into a long dragon and poured into Yuanli City in a mighty way. This city that once belonged to Qin State returned to the hands of the Qin people again.

Wang Jian stood on the platform and watched all this, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As the new chief general, he held the hope of Qin's efforts to turn the tide. It is conceivable that Wang Jian's pressure is an extremely rare relief for Wang Jian.

Standing next to Wang Jian was the deputy general Wei Liao this time. At this moment, Wei Liao also had a relaxed smile on his face and said to Wang Jian: "General, Yuanli City has been broken now. As long as the royal city is taken down, the land of Hexi will basically return to the hands of my Great Qin!"

Wang Jian said yellingly, "After that being said, don't forget that there is Shaoliang City, where is the key."

After a pause, Wang Jian said slowly: "And I always feel that Li Mu will not calm down in the north, and he will definitely make some noise."

When Li Mu was mentioned, Wei Liao's face changed slightly. Over the years, for the Qin people, the name Li Mu was even more unlucky than the broom star, and even more terrifying than the various strange evil gods in the legend.

Wei Liaoqiang smiled and said, "Didn't the general have already written to the king in advance this time and asked the king to take precautions in advance?"

After suffering so many losses to Li Mu, Qin State actually summarized a lot of experience in dealing with Li Mu. Wang Jian also submitted a memorial before leaving, writing down his analysis of Li Mu in detail and how to deal with him.

Wang Jian sighed and said, "After that being said, you also know what is going on in Xianyang City. Wu Chengjun and Gang Chengjun are now competing for power and power. I don't know how much energy they are willing to do these things outside of political struggles. Alas!"

Wei Liao comforted, "General, just worry. Anyway, as long as you take down Xihe land and return to Xianyang, Li Mu will naturally retreat at that time."

Wang Jian said aloud and said for a while: "What if Li Mu is forced to retreat? His main cavalry unit is still unharmed and can continue to harm the Qin Dynasty in the future! In fact, in my opinion, the King should let us go all out to break the Hangu Pass and then rush to support South Korea. Keeping South Korea from perishing is the most favorable situation for the Qin Dynasty today."

Wei Liao shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is an impossible general. You also know how scared those people are now."

What Wei Liao didn't say is that what he feared most was their own king, Qin Wang Chu, and it was Qin Wang Chu who denied the decision to go east to Hangu Pass to support South Korea.

"Yes..." Wang Jian let out a long sigh, looking at Yuanli City that was already completely for him, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

After a while, Wang Jian finally spoke: "Actually, I was thinking that if I had the chance this time, I might try to fight Li Mu and see if I could keep Li Mu and his cavalry troops in Guanzhong forever."

When he said this, Wang Jian's face was obviously murderous intent.

Wei Liao was stunned at first, then a shocked expression appeared on his face: "General is planning to have a decisive battle with Li Mu in Guanzhong?"

"Yes." Wang Jian looked straight at Wei Liao with a calm look: "Now the king does not allow us to go east to Hangu Pass. What's the benefit even if Hexi is captured? Once South Korea is destroyed, the next time Zhao attacks Guanzhong, it is likely that Lian Po from the east and Li Mu from the north. At that time, the Qin Dynasty will be really hard to resist. If this is the case, it would be better to try to start a war with Li Mu when Lian Po was fighting fiercely in South Korea. As long as it can defeat or severely damage Li Mu, the pressure on Qin will be much smaller in the future! I wonder what General Wei Liao thinks?"

Wei Liao was silent for a while, and when he looked up again, he was already full of heat: "General, in the opinion of Wei Liao, there is a lot to do about this matter!"
