That's right, Li Mu wanted Zhou Qi to lead 12,000 troops north to Lanyu City. It wasn't that he didn't trust Lord Pingyuan, it was just that Li Mu didn't want to place the general's safety on the benevolence of others.
As long as these 12,000 people can rush to Yanyu City, even if they cannot repel the Yan army, they can at least protect Yanyu City and the safety of the general.
He could finally see that in the entire Zhao court, except for Lord Pingyuan and a few honest ministers who were still thinking about their country and the country, everyone else cared about their own wealth, glory, power and majesty, even the most important ones. The same goes for King Zhao, who shouldn't be like this.
To be honest, Li Mu was a little chilled.
When I think of the general leading him to fight in bloody battles on the grassland for days and days, single-handedly defeating the two armies of the Hu people; when I think of the general now using a weak force of thousands to block the Yan army of tens of thousands, then Looking at the group of sanctimonious people in front of him, Li Mu felt sick to his stomach.
Don't they know the danger to the general?
Don’t you understand what you said? With one person as twelve, trapped in an isolated city, how else to describe it?
Obviously, it's not that they don't know or don't understand, they just selectively ignore it. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
Sure enough, just as Li Mu's soldiers retreated quietly, Lord Pingyuan immediately spoke again: "The general is still holding on in the city of Yanhe. Now that the Yan army has retreated, the army does not go north to rescue the general, but wants to pursue Yan. The remnants of the army? Lou Chang, do you want to put my general to death?"
It should be said that Mr. Pingyuan's accusation is already quite straightforward and sharp.
Mr. Pingyuan doesn't know that everyone is selectively ignoring it. Therefore, Mr. Pingyuan simply puts the matter on the table, so that you have to face it and explain it.
Some things, if not put on the scale, will not weigh four ounces, and if they are put on the scale, they will not weigh a thousand kilograms.
Who dares to say that the general should be ignored? Look at the tens of thousands of troops behind you, and ask them if they have swords dripping with blood in their hands. Do you agree?
But apparently Mr. Pingyuan still underestimated Dr. Lou Chang's shamelessness and eloquence.
"Mr. Pingyuan, I misunderstood!" Dr. Lou Chang immediately said with a smile: "The pursuit of death and the rescue of the general are two things in one. The armies are all heading north. There is no difference. What's more, the general above With this ability, perhaps it is not impossible that the Yan Army’s partial divisions have been wiped out at this time.”
Lord Pingyuan laughed angrily after hearing this.
Are they all heading north? One is going to the northeast, and the other is going to the northwest. Not to mention that they are completely opposite, but in this person's opinion, there is "no big difference"?
And the Yan army, which had more than 60,000 people, was turned into a "partial division" by the touch of upper and lower lips. Even if this division was partial, there were still more than 60,000 people. How many men does the general have? With less than 5,000 men, how could you have the nerve to come to the conclusion that the general would destroy the enemy with this small force!
However, Lou Chang's words were recognized by many ministers, which is simply unbelievable.
Lord Pingyuan immediately retorted: "The general is capable, but he only has five thousand troops. How can he defeat ten with one?"
"Jun Pingyuan underestimates me, the general." Lou Chang immediately interrupted Jun Pingyuan's retort and said, "How can the general's abilities be guessed by ordinary people like you and me?"
Obviously, Lou Chang wanted to kill Zhao Kuo. But, Mr. Pingyuan really couldn't refute.
Reluctantly, Lord Pingyuan simply refused to quarrel with this person. He bowed to King Zhao and said, "My king, please think twice. If we pursue with a large army, we may be able to defeat tens of thousands of Yan troops. But if we fail to rescue him, General If there are some damage, our army will win or lose in this battle. Is it okay to exchange tens of thousands of weak soldiers for the collapse of the general's pillars?"
Mr. Pingyuan's last words almost came out in a roar.
But his huge voice did not wake up King Zhao like Huang Zhongda Lu. Instead, it reminded King Zhao of a country and a person!
A country even more powerful than today's Zhao State, and a person who is also known as a pillar.
The name of that country is Qin, and the name of that person is Lord Shang. It seems that the collapse of this pillar did not weaken the Qin State, but allowed the King of Qin to take back his power and dominate other countries.
The state of Qin could dominate the world without giving up its ruler Shang, so why should the state of Zhao cherish Zhao Kuo?
King Zhao had such an idea. It was obviously not just a matter of days. Fundamentally, it was Zhao Kuo who had the most outstanding achievements. Today, Zhao Kuo's disrespect of the king's order again was obviously a good catalyst. Coupled with Lou Chang's deception, King Zhao seemed to see the rationality of getting rid of Zhao Kuo reasonably and legally.
Involuntarily, King Zhao was deeply moved.
Facing the already moved King Zhao, no matter how heartfelt Mr. Pingyuan was and no matter how inspiring his words were, it would be difficult to shake King Zhao's heart.
Lou Chang had naturally understood many of Zhao Wang Buyu's thoughts from his expression, and immediately retorted to Pingyuan Jun: "Pingyuan Jun is wrong! This pursuit of death and the north is not just about tens of thousands of Yan soldiers, but it may be possible to take advantage of it." This opportunity cuts off Yan's constraints in one fell swoop. When we fight against Qin in the future, we no longer have to worry about Yan's rebellion in the rear, and its benefits are no less than the victory at Changping."
Upon hearing this, King Zhao's eyes lit up.
But Lou Chang's words did not stop there.
"Even if the general is here, he should chase his enemies to the north in order to achieve all the merits." Lou Chang said solemnly, as if he was the spokesperson of the general: "What's more, the news of the Yan army's defeat has spread to Yan and Yu. How dare we stay in the city, just a partial force? Even if our army does not go to Yanyu City, we have already carried out rescue work for the general."
Mr. Pingyuan couldn't help but shake his head in his mind. If the general was here, of course he could chase him to the north. The problem is that the general is not here, but is surrounded by enemy troops!
Is there any news reaching Yanyucheng?
How to pass it on? Should you pass it on, should I pass it on, or should I rely on defeated soldiers or King Yan? The defeated soldiers all fled to Yan State. Where could they find Yan Yucheng?
And King Yan, who was on the way to escape, would take a long time even if he wanted to send a message to Yanyucheng in the west. During this period of time, could Yanyucheng have fallen?
What's even worse is, how can you be sure that King Yan's order is to withdraw? Will the Yan army's partial division, which has even been ordered by the King of Yan, make a desperate move and capture Yanyu City in one go?
Don’t you need to consider these issues?
Although he really didn't want to talk nonsense with this person who was arrogant, Pingyuan Jun knew that he couldn't let him deceive the ministers and King Zhao present.
Immediately Lord Pingyuan was about to refute again, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by King Zhao again.
"What Dr. Lou Chang said..." Obviously, King Zhao planned to end this topic and made the final decision.
At this moment, Li Mu, who had been silent, finally stood up.
"I, Wang Rongzhen..."
Some people died, but not completely...
