Commander Li Mu was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Zhao. He was deeply loved by the soldiers and the people and had high prestige.
In a series of battles, he had repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the enemy without losing, demonstrating his superb military command ability.
Especially the Battle of Zhao defeating the Xiongnu and the Battle of Fei. The former was a typical example of an infantry regiment wiping out a cavalry regiment, while the latter was an example of a siege.
Li Mu was a good general in the northern part of Zhao. He had been stationed in Yanmen Prefecture for a long time to guard against the Xiongnu. He had the right to set up officials according to his needs. The taxes of the cities in the defense area were sent to Li Mu's shogunate as funds for the army.
He killed a few cows every day to reward the soldiers, taught the soldiers to practice archery and riding horses, carefully guarded the beacon tower, sent more people to spy on the enemy, and treated the soldiers well.
Now that they had encountered such a disaster, Li Mu's army had lost their commander who had accompanied them for many years. Their morale was low, their morale was lax, and they had no desire to fight.
Zhao Cong and Yan Ju had become commanders and were in charge of this army. They were in high spirits. However, seeing the soldiers like this, the two of them were angry.
"How can we fight the Qin army if we are so scattered? Pass on this general's order. Those who have no intention of protecting the territory will be beheaded!”
Zhao Cong was furious. He actually wanted to issue such an order.
Yan Ju was also very dissatisfied, but at least he could restrain himself a little. He stopped Zhao Cong and said," You can't. Although I don't want to admit it, Li Mu has indeed managed the army well. He loves his subordinates. He has lived and fought with the soldiers at the border for many years. He has won the hearts of the soldiers. It's understandable that the morale of the soldiers has fallen after he was killed. Now that the Qin army is strong, we still need this army to resist the Qin army. If we give such an order, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.”
"They dare."
Zhao Cong's eyes widened in anger. He could not take it anymore!
He pushed Yan Ju away and announced the military order outside the tent. Yan Ju, who was in the tent, smiled bitterly. The military order had already been issued, so it could not be changed. Now, this army was probably going to encounter some trouble.
However, what he did not expect was that the situation was far more serious than he thought.
The military order caused a huge uproar in the army. The soldiers were discussing whether the military order was deliberately targeting them.
They were Li Mu's army, the subordinates who had followed Li Mu for many years. Earlier, when the two of them came to the army, they wanted to take away their commander's military power as soon as they appeared. However, they were thrown out by their commander and did not care about the King of Zhao's orders.
At that time, their morale was high. However, they did not expect their commander to die so quickly. Moreover, he was killed by an assassin sent by the King of Zhao.
The soldiers were disappointed, protecting the country, but in the end, the price was like this. How could they bear it? How could they still want to protect their country?
Now, this military order was issued at a time when they were grieving. It was obvious that it was targeted at them.
"Let's go, we're not going to fight this war!"
"Right, without Marshal Li Mu's leadership, how could we defeat the Qin army? I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore."
Some of the soldiers took off their armor and weapons and walked out of the camp.
With someone taking the lead, other soldiers quickly followed.
When the two commanders saw this, they immediately ordered the soldiers at the entrance of the military camp to stop them and punish them according to military law.
However, as more and more soldiers took off their armor, Li Mu's deputy general also took off his armor and left the military camp.
Everything had happened too quickly for the two of them to understand. They were dumbfounded as they watched hundreds of thousands of soldiers leave the camp, leaving only a small number of soldiers they had brought with them.
"This…this…"
The two of them were completely dumbfounded and looked at each other. Now that this had happened, how were they going to explain themselves?
……
"Old General Wang, the time is ripe. Quickly take Shangdi, Hanoi, and Jingxing and form a siege from the north and south!”
When Wang Jian received Ying Zheng's order, he immediately dispatched his army, working together with Yang Ruihe and the other troops, and rushed towards the appeal area.
They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It was finally time for them to show off their skills.
In the royal palace, Ying Zheng continued his cultivation. Other than completing the emperor's career, his cultivation could not fall behind.
This world was not a simple ancient world, but a world where martial artists gathered. Without enough power, even a great emperor could be assassinated by martial artists and end his life.?
Although the Network Assassins and the Shadow Secret Guards were powerful enough to ensure his safety, he was still alive.
However, his life was in the hands of others, so he could not be at ease.
The Shadow Secret Guards were Ying Zheng's personal guards. Just like the Six Sword Slaves, they protected him in secret. However, Ying Zheng paid more attention to the concealment of the Shadow Secret Guards, as they were even more secretive than the Network Assassin Group.
Many people in the world knew about the Network Assassin Group, but many people did not know about the Shadow Secret Guards, nor did they know how powerful they were.
After practicing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art, the spiritual energy absorbed from Han Fei had completely integrated into his body and formed a power that belonged to him.
Han Fei's strength was not to be underestimated. Although he had consumed some of his spiritual energy, the remaining part was still powerful, which made his cultivation progress a lot.
After he finished, he stood up and went to the royal study. Wei Liao and Li Si were already waiting for him.
"Old General Wang has already taken down Shangdi? Hmm…Old General Wang was ordered to lead the army to attack Dongyang. A month later, they would attack from the north and south, take Handan, and end Zhao!”
