Chapter 111 The first experience of leading troops in robbery

After Zhao Kuo arrived at Zhao Great Wall, he did not do anything earth-shaking.

He had dinner with his soldiers and often rested with them. He ordered no one to withhold the rewards of the soldiers and to give them fairly winter clothes and food. He punished a group of generals who enjoyed abuse of the soldiers and eliminated several evil people who killed the soldiers. No matter what others thought, Zhao Kuo felt that he had just done some things that the generals would do in history, which was very simple.

But the impact his behavior on the Zhao people was not that simple.

The generals of various defense areas sat in a comfortable tent and looked at the rich food in front of them, but were unable to speak for a long time. Fortunately, most people in this era were still ashamed. Zhao Kuo followed the soldiers to eat bakery and slept with the soldiers in the exposed wilderness. How could they feel at ease to eat the meat in front of them? The generals walked out one after another and sat among the soldiers, and the soldiers also felt a great change in a very short time.

The generals who were arrogant and soared to them began to chat and laugh with them, no longer beat them at any time. They could eat more than usual, and no one dared to deduct all kinds of supplies. In fact, the generals arranged for people to write letters from home for all the soldiers and contact their families. The soldiers who had never had any form of contact with their relatives for several years took the letters from home that they could not understand, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Another story soon spread among the soldiers. It is said that after Ma Fujun arrived at the battlefield, he sent someone to find a soldier called Lu. Finally, he found this Lu in Wucheng and told him: Your mother has passed away. I sent your father the burial items and food for living. Lu cried loudly and said, "With you here, I don't have to worry that my father will not be raised after he died in battle."

The original silence, despair and sorrow dissipated on the entire Zhao national defense line. When Lian Po saw the soldiers who came to ask for battle, Lian Po was a little confused. Am I really not as good as that young boy? This made the old general fall into a deep self-doubt.

However, overall, this is a good thing.

Wu'an City, the bloody Li Mu wiped the blood on his face so that he could see the battlefield in front of him clearly. His spear had broken twelve. He killed more than 30 Qin people with his own hands. If his record was placed on the Qin people, he would probably be able to be promoted to four levels in a row after a battle. Since he arrived in Wu'an City, Li Mu has fallen in love with this city, which is the gateway to Handan and the most important supplement to soldiers.

Therefore, there are a group of the bravest warriors living here.

It was the old men in the city who just pulled out a few of them, all of whom were old heroes who had followed Zhao She to kill the Qin people.

Li Mu led 50,000 soldiers to garrison here. This was his first time commanding the soldiers to fight. This was not Lian Po's partiality. On the battlefield in Changping, he defeated the same number of Qin people with a thousand cavalry, and there were very few casualties. In just half a year, he made a lot of contributions. Lian Po opposed the opposition and used Li Mu, a young man, to guard Wu'an City. Li Mu was not only happy, but also afraid.

Especially when the Qin people attacked the city, they saw the neat Qin people rushing towards the city and almost climbed the city a few times. Li Mu seemed even more busy. The Qin people launched a siege from three sides. Li Mu could only care about one side and could not do everything. The first was the bravery of the soldiers. The Qin people felt very sharply that this originally lifeless Zhao army burst out with unparalleled courage. They fought bloody battles, and the degree of fear of death was almost beyond the Qin people!

There were even Zhao Zhu who held the Qin people and threw himself down the city wall! Such bravery originally belonged to the Qin people only.

The second was reinforcements. When Tian Yue led a fierce soldier to launch an attack on the Qin people from behind, the Qin people were defeated. Li Mu, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the Qin people in the distance with breathlessness. This was the first time he saw such a defeated Qin people. The Qin people shouted, threw down their weapons, and fled in a hurry. Tian Yue took a lot of them. The soldiers guarding Wu'an City and the soldiers who came to rescue were so excited that they could not speak.

Strictly speaking, this is their first victory over Qin.

The Qin people left more than 10,000 corpses outside Wu'an City and fled in panic. The soldiers shouted with their arms, and some even knelt on the city wall and cried loudly.

It seemed like a blood rain had just happened on the broken city wall, and blood was constantly flowing down the city wall. The blood was not low, but rolling down like a waterfall. It could be seen that the blood rain was still a heavy rain. Li Mu sat on the city wall and watched the soldiers lift the body of his comrades, and he was gasping for breath. He did not expect that when the Qin people rushed towards him frantically, he would be afraid.

He was not afraid of death, he was afraid of failure, he was afraid that the portal of Handan would be thrown into his hands, looking around, there was no Lian Po and Ma Fujun who could ask about major issues, and could only roast himself. Fortunately, the city was guarded, which was a huge victory. Not far away, a burly general pulled the young man and walked to Li Mu step by step. Li Mu raised his head and said that the person who came was Tian Yue and Sima Shang.

Li Mu struggled to get up, but Tian Yue sat down directly, and Sima Shang was almost pulled down by him.

"Chasing, sending cavalry to pursue, the entire Qin army is about to die here!" Sima Shang shouted angrily, while Tian Yue just grabbed his arm tightly, and did not answer. He looked at Li Mu calmly and said, "It's a fraud!" Li Mu looked at him in surprise. Tian Yue continued, "There are many soldiers sieges, but less than half of them participated in the siege. The rest were just watching under the city, as if they were intentionally waiting for reinforcements."

"We have just arrived. These people have not yet fought. They have thrown their weapons and started to flee... There must be ambush in the distance. This is the Qin people who want to lead us to fight." After Tian Yue finished speaking, he glanced at Sima Shang beside him. Seeing the contemplative Sima Shang, he let go and asked, "General Li Mu, what do you think?" Hearing Tian Yue's words, Li Mu suddenly felt something was wrong.

"You are right. The Qin people have very few siege equipment. If they want to break through the city, they will definitely be prepared instead of fighting in a panic way."

"Send scouts to report the situation here to General Zhao Kuo."

.........

Zhao Kuo looked at the letter sent from Wu'an City, frowned and gently knocked on the wooden table in front of him. After a while, he called Li Yu in. Li Yu sat aside. Zhao Kuo said: "No matter what Bai Qi wants to do, the soldiers who have made contributions must be rewarded. Please bring 800 sheep, bring more millet and money to Wu'an City to reward the soldiers for me."

"Eight hundred sheep...are some too many?"

"Not many, please call us in."

"only!"

Shortly after Li Yu left, Xun walked in and stood in front of Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo looked at him and wanted to say something, but he just pursed his lips and couldn't say it. He was very hesitant. Xun looked at Zhao Kuo, smiled and said, "What's the matter for general?" Zhao Kuo looked at him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I need someone to quietly rush to the Qin people to find out the Qin people's background..."

"But this is very dangerous. Outside the Great Wall, the Qin people were raging, and this was almost going to die."

Fortunately, he understood, and he said seriously: "General, when you never took me in, I was just a bandit. The villagers were afraid of me and did not love me. Now, I am a guest of the most benevolent and righteous people in the world. No one disrespects me. I know you are unwilling to let me die for you. However, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, and their lives are heavier than my life. If my life can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of lives, I am willing to go."

"No one's life is more valuable."

"No, if I die, you are the only one who crys for me, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers die, so more than one million people are sad?"

"You are a kind and righteous person. Why don't you do something that will endure painful things for the people of Zhao?"

Zhao Kuo slowly stood up and said to Xun: "This time you go out, you can select 500 people. Whether the matter is successful or not, please come back alive. This is a military order."
