"My King Rongzhen, even though our army has the upper hand now, as the saying goes, don't pursue the enemy when you are poor. If we pursue it rashly, I am afraid that the Yan army will be forced to launch a desperate counterattack, which will cause heavy losses to our army." Li Mu held up his hands. He clasped his fists and said seriously.
Since the reason for rescuing the general cannot convince you, then let's simply deny the rationality of this pursuit. But obviously, the Yan army that had fled in panic could not be the opponent of the Zhao army now, especially the battlefield was still within Zhao.
The probability of being counterattacked by the Yan army is not impossible, it can only be said to be very low.
Of course, Li Mu knew very well that even good words could not persuade the damn ghost. Even the sufficient reason to rescue the general could not convince King Zhao and the ministers, let alone his own very awkward reason.
Sure enough, before Li Mu could finish speaking, Lou Chang said impatiently: "Why should we be afraid of a bereaved dog? What's more, today my king ascended the tower to watch the battle of the Yan army. His fighting power is so weak that he is unable to stop our army. It's just a single blow. Why does a general raise the ambitions of others and destroy his own prestige?"
Faced with Lou Chang's teasing, Li Mu was not annoyed at all.
Because from the beginning, Li Mu never thought that he could really persuade King Zhao and Dr. Lou Chang to do something that even the important minister Pingyuan Jun could not do. He, a newly promoted deputy general, was still promoted to general. How could the imprinted lieutenant be able to convince.
The reason why Li Mu still interrupted King Zhao's words was that he had done his best as a minister of Zhao and finally had a clear conscience. Secondly, and most importantly, yes, Li Mu was stalling for time.
Although the order had been given to Zhou Qi and his subordinates were actually prepared accordingly, it would take more time to stay away from everyone's sight and leave secretly.
For this reason, Li Mu certainly wouldn't mind Lou Chang's teasing, and immediately continued to bow to King Zhao and Lou Chang: "To my king: On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Even if our army is absolutely sure of victory, everything will be lost." The arrows are coming one by one, I'm afraid..."
"Of course." Pingyuan Jun on the side also answered: "Even if the general is on the battlefield, he will inevitably be injured. How can the king take the risk lightly? Even if he wants to pursue, he orders a general to pursue him, but also."
Ordering the general to pursue him is very mysterious! Even a simple task like guarding Handan City needs to be organized by civil servants like Pingyuan Jun. There are no generals in the Zhao Dynasty.
It's nothing more than the General Li Mu in front of him. And ordered General Li Mu to be the commander-in-chief and send troops to pursue the Yan army? Maybe it’s a good idea?
Obviously, Mr. Pingyuan had misunderstood Li Mu's thoughts. From Pingyuan Jun's perspective, Li Mu's words undoubtedly meant that he wanted to take back the military power first.
As for whether to go east or west after going north, as long as the king is not in the army, who can stop the will of tens of thousands of soldiers? Of course, as Zhao Kuo's deputy general, it is not unexpected to do something that disobeys the king's orders.
The more Pingyuan Jun thought about it, the more he felt that this plan might be the only solution at this time, so he naturally wanted to speak out to support Li Mu.
It's a pity that Mr. Pingyuan didn't say it was okay. This statement could be regarded as a complete wake-up call for both King Zhao and Lou Chang.
The military power is given to you. God knows where you will take the army. The two of them don't want to do anything that falls short of success.
But here at King Zhao, to be honest, listening to Li Mu's description, I still feel a little guilty. After all, the words "swords have no eyes" clearly sounded like a cocoon to King Zhao's ears.
But even so, King Zhao had a reason why he had to participate.
Of course, the best result of this temporary move is to completely solve Zhao Kuo's problem. Even if it cannot be solved, it can still make Zhao Kuo understand who is the king of Zhao. On the other hand, and perhaps more importantly, King Zhao needed to improve his status in the hearts of the Zhao army officers and soldiers.
Only by having a supreme position among the Zhao army officers and soldiers can we avoid the appearance of the second "Zhao Kuo". King Zhao obviously understood this truth.
And if you want to improve your status in the army, this pursuit of the Yan army can be said to be the most beneficial and cost-effective action.
Immediately, King Zhao gave Lou Chang a look, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious: Get rid of them!
Lou Chang understood immediately and said to Lord Pingyuan: "If the news from the lower official is good, the King of Yan should come in person for this trip to Yan State. King Yan can come to my Zhao land to wreak havoc, why can't my King go to his Yan State?" Intervene on the ground?"
Lou Chang obviously didn't finish what he said. As for the second half of the sentence, everyone knew clearly in their hearts: Could it be that my king is not as good as King Yan? That is Lord Pingyuan. As the uncle of King Zhao, Lou Chang still gave him some face.
But as soon as Lou Chang said this, Mr. Pingyuan really couldn't persuade him any more.
But Li Mu didn't care about that. He was a "fighter" anyway, so it was appropriate to be reckless. He immediately clasped his fists and said: "My king, it's not just that my humble ministers are unwilling to do their best, but I am actually the army on behalf of the land. They have been fighting with the barbarians all year round. I may be good at attacking the enemy's formation, but forming a formation to defend it is not what we do." Chang Ye. On the battlefield, it is inevitable to be negligent. For the safety of my king, I ask my king to take back his orders."
What Li Mu said was reasonable.
But if it were three years ago, this might not be a problem. Daichi's army is indeed strong in offense. However, since the Battle of Changping, Daichi has insufficient troops and has already switched from offense to defense. There is nothing to say that it is not good at defense. .
And the last sentence "take back your life" is even more like a wolf-like speech.
Since it has already been "accomplished", in front of almost all civil and military officials in the court, how can there be any reason to take it back? I, King Zhao, don’t want to lose face?
But it is a pity that, as Li Mu had foreseen from the beginning, almost every one of the many ministers present did not understand military affairs, especially King Zhao and Lou Chang, who knew nothing about it.
In the minds of the two of them, perhaps there is only one sentence: the concept of multiple cavalry on behalf of the land. As for the offensive and defensive momentum, they have no idea at all.
Although King Zhao and Lou Chang did not understand the dynamics of offense and defense, they knew very well about the irreversibility of "successful fate".
Immediately, King Zhao waved his hand and said without hesitation: "General, please feel free to fight. We are still protected by thousands of palace guards, so there is no problem!"
Hearing this, Li Mu didn't feel anything, but Lord Pingyuan frowned.
Others don't know what this palace guard looks like, but Mr. Pingyuan, who is in charge of Handan City Defense, knows it very well! The teams of guards who seemed to be very capable and fierce were just fine on show, but when it came to fighting, they were only a little better than those young and strong men who had not received formal training.
Lord Pingyuan was about to say something more, but he saw King Zhao wave his hand and said: "Jun Pingyuan, this is the king's order."
"this......"
Some people died, but not completely...
