"Report! General, the Qin army has been discovered near Yi 'an. There are about four thousand of them.”
Under Fei, Li Mu and Sima Shang were on the hill, leading the army to watch the Qin army defending the stronghold in the distance. Suddenly, a messenger rushed over. He cupped his fists and said.
Hearing this, both Li Mu and Sima Shang frowned.
"Were there any Qin generals that day?”
Li Mu looked at his deputy general and asked. The decisive battle in Yi 'an had just begun, so the Qin army should have been defeated and not to be feared. However, it was precisely because of this that Li Mu was a little suspicious. The Qin army should have already scattered and fled, so why would there be 4,000 soldiers gathered together?
With the principle of not being careless, Li Mu asked if there were any generals of the Qin army that he had missed that day.
"General, other than Qin General Heng Yi who fled to Taihang Mountain, the heads of the other five hundred Qin Generals have been confirmed. I dare to guarantee with my life."
Li Mu's deputy cupped his hands and said.
On that day of great victory, he had personally seen the Qin army, which was like a black tide, die on the battlefield under the assault of the Zhao army. A small number of them had fled, and the cavalry only stopped after killing their generals.
Moreover, every head and clothing had been confirmed three times.
In the face of such a large Qin army, as Li Mu's deputy general, he would definitely not be careless. Because he knew that General Li Mu wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of General Wang Jian, he naturally had to confirm that there was no mistake before reporting.
"General Li, it should be a scattered army.”
Sima Shang said. He was also familiar with Li Mu's deputy general. He had followed Li Mu for many years and was very steady in his work.
He believed that the deputy general would not be negligent in such a major matter.
"Alright, Shouyuan, I order you to lead five thousand cavalry back to Yi 'an.”
Li Mu thought for a while and said to the deputy general.
4,000 Qin soldiers were not a concern, and they were a defeated army without a commander.
Li Mu asked the deputy general to lead the cavalry back to Yi 'an as soon as possible to wipe out the 4,000 Qin soldiers. Then, he rushed back to Feixia.
"Yes!"
The deputy general called Shou Yuan replied and then turned around to leave.
A moment later, a group of 5,000 cavalrymen left the camp. He rode his horse in the direction of Yi 'an in the north.
The Qin army guarding the stronghold also noticed this.
"Report! General, a group of cavalrymen suddenly left the camp and headed north.”
.....
Wang Jian, who was already in his sixties and had some white hair and a long beard, heard the report from the soldiers.
Then, he looked at the map.
Wang Ben and the rest of the deputy generals surrounded him.
"General, the two armies are facing each other right now. Is there a trap for Li Mu to suddenly send troops out of the camp?”
General Chao Ji said.
Not only him, but the other generals 'first reaction was that Li Mu had tricked them and forced them to go out to fight.
"How many cavalrymen are there?"
Wang Jian looked at the messenger.
"Five thousand!"
....
Following the messenger's words, the generals and the others in the commander's tent frowned.
"Five thousand!"
"This is not a scam!"
....
At this moment, everyone knew that if there were more than 20,000 soldiers, they might consider sending troops. However, if it was 5,000, it would not be a big deal for the current Zhao army.
As for the Qin army, the Zhao army had lost 5,000 cavalry, so their chances of winning were still slim.
In that case…
It didn't seem like a scam.
"Could it be General Heng Yi?"
"Or the Xiongnu in the north. No, if it was the Xiongnu, five thousand cavalry would be far from enough. Moreover, the Xiongnu have not dared to go south for ten years.”
.....
Inside the commander's tent, Wang Jian listened to the generals 'words and did not say anything.
Five thousand cavalry was not important to the Qin and Zhao armies. Unless the King of Qin sent troops, it would be a disaster.
..........
That afternoon.
A messenger hurriedly ran into the camp of the Zhao army. Then, he entered Li Mu's commander's tent.
At this moment, Li Mu, Sima Shang, and a dozen other generals were still looking at the map, discussing how to force Wang Jian to come out for a decisive battle, or how to divide their forces and take back Shangdang and the other places.
When the messenger's voice rang out, Li Mu, Sima Shang, and the others thought it was news of the deputy general's lifespan.
However, the next moment, when they heard the content, their eyes widened.
"General, Jingtian has discovered a large number of Qin soldiers, about five thousand in number. They are currently marching towards Loucheng.”
....
"Loucheng?"
" This!!!"
The generals looked at each other in confusion. Perhaps they were wondering why the fleeing Qin army had lost their way.
The direction of returning to Qin wasn't there!
No, when they thought of this, the generals also reacted and looked at the map.
At this moment, Li Mu kept looking at the direction of the map.
Li Mu and Sima Shang blurted out,"Not good! There's a trap!"”
The two of them looked at each other in shock.
