"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Si came to the palace with a respectful attitude, but he could not hide the smile on his face.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng knew that something good had happened, so he asked,""Is there any movement from the State of Zhao?”
"Your Majesty is wise, and this is a major change in the country of Zhao. Guo Kai encouraged the King of Zhao to switch Li Mu to fight against the Yan Country. The army was handed over to Zhao Cong and Yan Ju. The military order had been issued and there would be new news soon.”
"Good!"
Ying Zheng clapped his hands in praise, beckoned Li Si over, pointed at the map and said,""With Old General Wang and General Yang's army here, we can first attack Shangdi, Jingxing, and Hanoi, occupying the north and south. Once they occupied it, they would be not far from Handan, the capital of Zhao, and they would be surrounded by the north and south. At that time, the army would rest and take down Dongyang and Handan, destroying Zhao.”
His plan was strict, and Li Si felt that it was feasible. However, there were still some problems that had not been solved. How could they easily capture Handan?
Li Si thought about it and asked," Your Majesty, Li Mu and Sima Shang are still the Commander-in-Chief of the army. The Qin Kingdom is in a war and will be outside. We can't accept your orders." How could Li Mu and Sima Shang be willing to hand over their military power?”
Ying Zheng's hand trembled." Of course, Li Mu and Sima Shang won't hand over their military power," he said with a smile." I never thought that they would submit obediently." Li Mu was a mighty figure with rich battle experience. Old General Wang was only on par with him. He must have seen that once he went to the Yanzhao battlefield, Handan would not be able to defend. Therefore, he would not hand over his military power. If he did, he would be a sinner in history.”
"Then…how can Your Majesty be sure that Old General Wang and the others will win this time?”
"How can Zhao Cong and Yan Ju defeat Old General Wang? I have confidence in Old General Wang."
Ying Zheng's words were very strange. Li Si smiled bitterly. His Majesty always had a different way of thinking. This was a war to destroy the State of Zhao, so they should be even more careful. However, His Majesty only specified the strategy and handed it over to the people to carry out. It could be said that he had no reservations about the people he sent.
For the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, this was indeed gratifying. But what about after completing the imperial industry? Could His Majesty still be like this after completing his imperial career?
He didn't know, but that wasn't what he had to consider at the moment.
He and Ying Zheng had a long talk throughout the night, discussing the unification of the imperial industry and the way of governing the country. Finally, he left with satisfaction.
……
Within the State of Zhao, Wang Jian's army was already rubbing their fists. After entering the State of Zhao, they had won many battles. Under the Emperor's plan, the army was like a hot knife through butter, taking down city after city.
They were not far from Handan now. As long as they exerted more strength, they would be able to take Handan. If the capital was occupied, it meant that the country had been destroyed.
The morale of this army was high, and they could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts.
Han Country was destroyed, and Zhao Country was invincible. They couldn't wait to take down Handan.
However, at this critical moment, a famous general of Zhao arrived. Li Mu's appearance made Wang Jian even more careful and pay attention to him. He even contacted Yang Ruihe and the other generals to discuss a plan to take Handan.
And at this moment, news came from the surroundings of Handan, causing Wang Jian to be abnormally excited. He almost ordered the army to move out and directly attack Handan.
Li Mu was removed from his position as commander and was prepared to be dispatched to the battlefield of Yanzhao to attack the Yan Country.
Sima Shang was also accused of failing to manage the army and causing the morale of the army to fall. He was given fifty strokes of the cane and removed from his position as a general. At this moment, he was preparing to retire and return home, far away from the war.
He was indescribably happy. This was such wonderful news.
However, there was even more exciting news. Li Mu did not accept King Zhao's orders. When a general is outside, he cannot accept the king's orders. Li Mu refused to hand over his military power and even scolded Zhao Cong and Yan Ju, who had come, and ordered the soldiers to throw them out of the camp.
The two of them returned to the palace to report. The King of Zhao was furious and ordered the killers to lurk in secret and kill Li Mu.
A famous general of a generation had fallen just like that. The outcome was lamentable.
"Li Mu is a strong general and a rare opponent. It was a pity that he had ended up like this. If he was born in Great Qin, he would definitely be able to gain the favor of His Majesty and expand Great Qin's territory.”
Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh. Although he had lost a powerful enemy that allowed him to easily capture Handan. However, without an enemy like Li Mu, the battlefield would be less fun.
He admired Li Mu's ability to lead troops, but unfortunately, they each served their own masters. If they were both in the Qin country, how good would that be?
"Hurry up and give the brocade bag to Yang Rui and the general. The entire army is resting and waiting for development!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Mu's death had caused a shocking change in the Zhao army.
