Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In the battle of Pingyang, the Qin army won a great victory. The news spread quickly throughout the world. For a time, the world changed. Faced with such a crisis, could Zhao still have the same luck as in the battle of Zhaodu?

This issue has become a matter of concern to countless people in the world. If Zhao is destroyed, which country in the world can stop Qin from annexing other countries? Is it Qi? Or maybe it’s Chu State, which doesn’t seem very reliable.

When the Qin Army won a great victory in Pingyang, Zhao State, the Qin Army also continued to win victories on the southern battlefield. For the first time, Wang Jian proved his strength to the world in an independent manner.

In the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State attacked Zhao. The Qin army was unstoppable, as if God was blessing the Qin State.

Faced with this situation, both the Qin Wangzheng who was in Xianyang Palace and the Qin General Huan Jue who was in Pingyang all felt a sense of complacency, underneath which was an irrepressible self-confidence.

Perhaps, the Qin army may achieve greater victory. This idea grew crazily in the minds of Qin Wangzheng, Huanjue, and even Yang Duanhe after the Qin army won one victory after another.

But Yang Ming, who was far away in Hedong, sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

Although the victory is gratifying, it is already in the past, is it in the future? Thinking of Li Mu who was far away in the northern border of Zhao State, even if Yang Ming was not worried about Huan Jue, he had to think about his acquaintances in Baihu Village.

"Are you worried that Huan Jue will fail?" In the palace of Anyi, Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming who was writing the book with a look of worry.

"If he doesn't know how to give up when things get better and continues to fight in the Zhao Kingdom, he will definitely lose." Yang Ming said without raising his head.

Although Huan Jue has good strength and is indeed qualified to be the general of the Qin State, it also depends on who he is facing. Li Mu and the Zhao State side cavalry under his command are the most powerful army in the world. , with equal strength, no one can defeat him.

Thinking of the fact that in the original historical trajectory, Huan Jue's entire army was annihilated in the hands of Li Mu, although Yang Ming did not know the one hundred thousand Qin troops under Huan Jue's command, they were lives after all. If he did not have to pay much price, he would If it could save those people from misfortune, why wouldn't Yang Ming do it?

"If you submit a letter at this time, I'm afraid you will be criticized, right?" Zhao Ji hesitated.

Zhao Ji did not know much about the war that took place in Zhao State. She only knew that the Qin State was optimistic now. If Yang Ming submitted a memorial to withdraw his troops at this time, he would inevitably be laughed at.

In particular, such a memorial would be harmful to Yang Ming. If Qin Wangzheng listened to Yang Ming's suggestion, no one would be able to prove that what Yang Ming said was correct. At the same time, it would also delay those who are eager to make contributions on the front line. The soldiers were definitely a blow to Yang Ming's reputation.

And if Yang Ming is proven correct, the price will be too high.

For Yang Ming, this memorial is completely unappealing to both ends.

"I can't care about that now. The military situation is urgent. I'm afraid if I'm too late, those people won't be able to come back." Yang Ming said.

"You can't do this. You can't accept this memorial." Zhao Ji pondered, with a determined look on her face.

"What did the Queen Mother mean?" Yang Ming raised his head and asked.

"The words in this memorial, let the Ai family tell you, no matter what the final result is, this memorial cannot be seen by anyone except the king." Zhao Ji said.

"The journey from Anyi to Xianyang will not be easy." Yang Ming said hesitantly.

Of course Yang Ming understood what Zhao Ji meant. The biggest problem with this memorial was that it could not stop Youyou from talking. But if only Qin Wangzheng saw this memorial, the situation would be different.

"It's just not easy. Compared to your troubles, the Ai family prefers to cause trouble for themselves." Zhao Ji smiled, with determination in her eyes.

Yang Ming was shocked when he met Zhao Ji's gaze. The care from Zhao Ji was indeed very touching. I wonder, who in the world could resist Zhao Ji's care in a different place.

"I will go back with you. My mission is to protect the safety of the Queen Mother." Yang Ming said firmly as he pondered.

"That's just right, don't bring the Frightened Salamander with you." Zhao Ji suddenly said with a wide smile, without any trace of the seriousness and determination shown just now.

"Why do you always want to bully Jing Salamander?" Facing Zhao Ji at this time, Yang Ming couldn't laugh or cry. He just felt that he was really moved in vain.

"You can bully Jing Salamander, can't the Ai family be successful?" Zhao Ji asked back.

"Can that be the same?" Yang Ming sneered, helpless to Zhao Ji's weird reason.

"Why is it different? You can bully, but the Ai family can't bully you? Besides, the Ai family is really jealous of Jing Salamander, so there doesn't seem to be any problem in bullying Jing Salamander to make yourself feel more at ease, right?" Zhao Ji Strong words to make sense.

"What the Queen Mother said makes sense." Yang Ming was too lazy to argue.

"However, I'd better go by myself. It will be faster this way and I can explain this clearly in person. As for the Queen Mother's worries? Under the protection of the Queen Mother, do I need to be afraid of those things?" Yang Ming thought for a moment. , still rejected Zhao Ji’s proposal.

The current daughter cannot live without Zhao Ji. Besides, there is a huge difference between having an affair with the Queen Mother and having an illegitimate daughter with the Queen Mother.

Thousands of miles away in the northern border of Zhao State, Li Mu stood on the city wall and looked at the side riders coming from all directions like trickles, carved by the cold wind from the wolf prairie like dry rocks in the mountains. A smile broke out on the general face.

Over the years, he has never left the northern border of Zhao State. Ever since the wolf clan was defeated, there has been no shortage of war resources in the northern border of Zhao State.

In the past few years, with the support of sufficient resources, Li Mu established a youth camp based on the original Zhao Kingdom's border cavalry, organized young people aged 13 or 14 together, and taught them the art of fighting in battle formations. Now several years have passed. After the selection of the distant Zhao Kingdom's cavalry and the training of the northern teenagers, there is already a stronger Zhao Kingdom's cavalry in Yanmen County.

"This sword of mine has been forged for a long time, and it's time to show its edge to the world." Li Mu pondered, looking far away to the south. There was the hinterland of Zhao State and the State of Qin, where he needed Protect the place where the battle is about to begin.

At the end of Li Mu's line of sight, there was a cavalry group coming quickly from the south. The tassel feathers fluttering in the wind told the identity of the visitor: the Royal Guards of the Zhao Palace.

"Are you here?" Li Mu, who is extremely skilled in archery, naturally has eyesight comparable to that of a goshawk. He could already see the identity of the person coming from a long distance and walked down the city wall.

The wolf hunter in the northern border of Zhao Kingdom felt the call of war.

"Li Mu accepts the order." In front of the city gate, the commander of the imperial guards of the Zhao Palace from the capital took out a roll of orders made of silk.

"Li Mu accepts the order." Li Mu responded.

"Wang Ling, the governor of Yanmen County and the general of the northern border, Li Mu, immediately led the border cavalry south to stop the Qin army in Pingyang."

"promise."

When the border cavalry in the northern border of Zhao quickly completed their assembly, Yang Ming had already arrived in Xianyang while reducing his troops and rushed to Xianyang Palace.

"You said the general will be defeated?" Qin Wangzheng looked at Yang Ming who had returned from Hedong without being summoned. After hearing Yang Ming's intention, Qin Wangzheng felt a little angry in his heart.

Now the Qin army is gaining momentum all the way in the Zhao Kingdom. Yang Ming, the guard captain of the Qin Dynasty and one of the top five important ministers in the army, actually said that if the Qin army does not get better, it will retreat, and it will eventually face a disastrous defeat in the Zhao Kingdom. In this way As long as they meet a king with a bad temper or a dull one, it is enough for people like Yang Ming to appreciate the cruelty of kings from this era.

But fortunately, the government of the King of Qin is the government of the King of Qin after all. Although he has enough confidence in himself, he is not someone who cannot listen to the words of his ministers. Therefore, when he heard what Yang Ming said, although he was still at first He was angry, but he didn't show it. Instead, he patiently asked Yang Ming for the specific situation.

"The General's army of 100,000 troops penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhao State and won a great victory in the Battle of Pingyang. However, in the great victory, how could they not be injured? At this time, Zhao State will inevitably mobilize the northern border troops to go south. This is a theory In terms of combat power, it is unparalleled by any powerful army in the world. Its commander, Li Mu, is a master level in terms of military and horse skills. When it comes to the ability to use cavalry, no one in the world may be able to surpass it. On the right, there are many plains in the hinterland of Zhao State, which is the terrain that can maximize the cavalry's combat power. The general and his army want to defeat such a powerful army that has not yet revealed its sharpness and has favorable geographical location. , it’s very difficult to win.” Yang Ming explained.

Although the name Li Mu is not so famous now, his reputation that can be compared with Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Wang Jian in later generations is not in vain.

In the original historical trajectory, many famous Qin generals were defeated by Li Mu. Even Wang Jian did not defeat Li Mu on the battlefield with an upright military strategy. He could only maintain his undefeated state. As for Huan Jue, although he He has good strength and can be called a famous general in the country, but he is not qualified to fight with Li Mu. In the Qin State, Wang Jian is probably the only one who can really compete with Li Mu.

King Qin looked at Yang Ming with his crowned eyes, but did not say a word. What he was thinking about was the reason why Yang Ming stopped the Qin army from continuing to attack Zhao. Could it be that Yang Ming really stopped it because he thought the Qin army would be defeated? Will the Qin army continue to attack Zhao?

In Qin Wangzheng's mind, he couldn't help but think of Yang Ming's origin. Yang Ming could have half of the blood of the Zhao people, especially since Yang Ming grew up in the State of Zhao for the first ten years of his life. Yang Ming spent more time in the State of Zhao. Far longer than the time in Qin.

Qin Wangzheng, who was unwilling to withdraw his troops at this time, almost subconsciously began to doubt Yang Ming's motives.

"After all, we are not on the front line. We cannot really grasp the situation on the front line. Whether to withdraw our troops or not, we have to listen to the general's wishes." Under Qin Wangzheng's review, he gave this reply.
