"Grandmaster, judging by the speed of our army's marching, our army can reach the city of Xianyang at most at dusk tomorrow!"

Listening to the scouts' reports, Li Mu was in a good mood.

This is the first time I have come to attack this tall and majestic city?

Although Li Mu will leave some very good memories every time he comes here, the problem is that these memories are beautiful, but they cannot cover up a fact.

Xianyang City is also Xianyang City of Qin State.

To be honest, this makes Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable when he thinks about these sweet victory.

Fortunately, this time, Li Mu finally had a chance to relieve his previous depression.

This time, the city will never be able to return to the embrace of the Qin people.

When Li Mu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy and said to Pang Nuan beside him: "Pang Qing, how long does it take for our army to capture this Xianyang City this time?"

As the deputy general appointed by Zhao Dan for Li Mu this time, Pang Nuan was in a good mood.

In fact, as a senior and higher-ranking official in Longtai, Pang Nuan was sent by Zhao Dan to serve as deputy general for Li Mu. The old general was not very happy in his heart.

But when people get older, they will have more concerns, and they will become more steady and their thinking will be more comprehensive.

Therefore, Pang Nuan also had a comprehensive and steady thinking before taking over the position of deputy general.

First of all, as long as you are not blind, you can see that Zhao Dan values ​​Li Mu, and you also know that in the next 20 or 30 years, the entire Zhao military will be the stage for Li Mu.

Then, Li Mu himself did not have much malice towards the public clan sect where Pang Nuan was located, and even the two sides had joined forces on certain issues to suppress the arrogance of the common people.

In the end, Pang Nuan is already very old and may really die at any time. It would be too stupid to attract Li Mu, a great enemy who was destined to be glorious for decades, for the Pang family before his death.

After understanding these factors, General Pang Nuan happily accepted this setting and happily became Li Mu's deputy general in the battle to destroy Qin, and he did not complain at all throughout the whole process and was very conscientious.

So after Li Mu spoke, the old general laughed, and the beard on his lower jaw kept shaking as his lips opened and closed: "Grandmaster, now that Wang Jian's army has been defeated by our army, the people of Qin are already in panic all day long. I think that in one month, Xianyang City will be owned by our Zhao State!"

Of course, what Pang Nuan said was very confident.

In the previous battle, most of the 250,000 troops led by King Jian of Qin were annihilated and captured, and only a small part escaped from Shengtian and fled back to Xianyang.

Under such circumstances, even if the defenders in Xianyang City were originally added, the Qin State could only use 50,000 or 60,000 people.

For the more than 300,000 troops under Li Mu's command, the 50,000 or 60,000 Qin defenders who were in a panic all day long were nothing.

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said to Pang Nuan: "Now it seems that there should be no problem in taking Guanzhong."

Li Mu really hopes to win Guanzhong.

After all, from a geographical point of view, once Li Mu wants to explore the Western Regions for Zhao State in the future, Guanzhong will be Li Mu's best supply point.

Starting from Guanzhong, then moving west along the Hexi Corridor, crossing the westernmost side of the Qilian Mountains, you can reach the legendary Western Regions.

Although Li Mu has mainly fought in the Central Plains in the past two years, the Hu Yiwei of Zhao State has been spreading a steady stream of information for Li Mu.

Through this information, Li Mu learned that the Yuezhi people, who were defeated by himself a few years ago and then fought away by the Huns and Wusun people, had fled to the Western Regions and established a country called the Great Yuezhi there.

In addition, Li Mu also knew that the Western Regions were actually a large area, which was approximately the same as the area before the Battle of Changping, and may even be even larger.

There are vast deserts on that land, many oasis, and small countries that are even more numerous than the stars in the sky. The wars there are comparable to the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period. Almost every year, many countries are destroyed, and many new countries rise from the ruins.

Li Mu likes all this very much.

Because Li Mu knew very well that it was a paradise for cavalry.

Although Li Mu did not reject the feeling of leading tens of thousands of troops to destroy cities and villages, in the final analysis, Li Mu still prefers cavalry.

As a general and a commander, Li Mu was like an extremely sharp sword, piercing all the difficulties and obstacles in front of Zhao Dan and eliminating all monsters and demons.

A general without an opponent is lonely, and Li Mu does not want to be a general without an opponent.

So the existence of the Western Regions is really good.

As for the Xianyang City in front of you, it is actually...it is no longer within Li Mu's consideration.

Li Mu did not consider it, but the people in Xianyang City must consider it.

King Chu of Qin looked at Wang Jian kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were filled with a very complex light.

"Wang Jian, do you know what kind of war you lost?"

The words of King Chu of Qin were almost gritting his teeth, and they were word by word, and they were revealed from the gaps of his teeth.

Wang Jian did not speak out for himself, but knelt quietly, waiting for the final judgment of King Chu of Qin.

Now, any words seem redundant.

Just at the lower head of King Chu of Qin, Lu Buwei looked at all this coldly, not intending to save Wang Jian from the fire, nor to add to the injustice of Wang Jian.

Cai Ze wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he sighed in slightest and then gave up his desire to speak.

Now, it is no longer a question of whether Wang Jian is saved or not, but a question of whether Qin can still exist.

King Chu of Qin did not have any affection for Wang Jian because he did not speak. He cursed Wang Jian very angrily, and finally issued an order in a deep voice: "Come on, drag this defeated general to me, impose a punishment for bans, and be imprisoned in death row and will not be pardoned. All family members will be accepted as ministers and concubines!"

As soon as King Chu of Qin finished speaking, a chilling sound suddenly sounded in the hall.

The punishment of bin is one of the five punishments of Xia and Shang dynasties, also known as the punishment of slashing the foot or cutting off the kneecap of the prisoner.

The famous genius military advisor Sun Bin was once punished by his brother Pang Juan. Sun Bin's name came from this, which made future generations forget his real name.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a torture.

A torture that makes life worse than death.

In addition to the four words "unpardoned" in the future, Wang Jian will basically be able to spend his life in the black prison.

In addition, the whole family was demoted to slaves, and basically Wang Jian's family was completely abolished from then on.

This is even more uncomfortable than killing Wang Jian directly, because it represents endless, lifelong humiliation.

But no one pleaded for Wang Jian.

In fact, many people even gloat about the fact that it is just a slaughter. This is mostly due to the fact that the Wang clan has made many military achievements for the Qin Dynasty over the years.

Of course, Wang Jian’s punishment is basically the same as a dead person, and may even be even worse than a dead person.

Even Wang Jian, who was already in a state of desolation, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard what King Chu of Qin said, but he still bowed slowly and said in a hoarse voice that he could hardly hear clearly: "I, thank you for your kindness."

Wang Jian was dragged down.

King Chu of Qin stared at Wang Jian's leaving figure, looking very eager to cut Wang Jian into pieces.

Of course, King and Chu of Qin could kill Wang Jian, but King and Chu of Qin didn't want to let Wang Jian go so easily. He wanted to make Wang Jian worse than death!

After Wang Jian finally left, King Chu of Qin breathed a sigh of relief as if he was revenge, and then slowly said to the ministers of Qin in front of him: "You are the best friends, let's talk about how to face the Zhao army now."

A sudden silence fell into the hall.

Lu Buwei's eyes rolled around, and suddenly stood up and said, "King, I have a memorial."
