Chapter 24-Li Mu,"We Must Not Let Him Live!"”(The new novel kneels!)
Martial City!
The 100,000 Zhao troops led by Li Mu had all retreated to the Martial City.
He had spent nearly a month to surround the 200,000 Qin soldiers.
He didn't expect the Qin army to escape.
Was this the will of the heavens?
Li Mu looked up at the night sky.
"General!"
A call came from behind Li Mu.
Li Mu, who was looking up at the sky, turned around and saw a middle-aged man in armor.
"It's you. How are the soldiers?”Li Mu asked.
Sima Shang nodded with a worried look in his eyes,""General, the soldiers have been settled.”
"Yes."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said,""This general will set off tonight to Handan and King to apologize. After this general leaves, the matters of the army will be handed over to you!”
"General!" Sima Shang exclaimed.
Li Mu waved his hand and interrupted Sima Shang,""This general doesn't have much time. Listen to this general first, then ask.”
Sima Shang shut his mouth after hearing Li Mu's words.
Li Mu continued," There isn't much food in Ping Yang City. It won't last for more than a few days. If the Qin army wants to survive, they will definitely choose to break through."”
"I know that you can't stop the 200,000 Qin soldiers from breaking out, but you must remember one thing!”
Li Mu looked at Sima Shang coldly and said,""Remember my words. You must not let that person called Bai Yu escape! We can't let him leave Zhao alive!"
Li Mu's eyes were filled with worry when he mentioned Bai Yu.
"General, are you talking about the descendant of that Lord of Wu 'an, Baiqi?”Sima Shang asked.
Li Mu nodded.”
"He didn't lie. This kid must be Bai Qi's descendant.”Li Mu said thoughtfully,"If I'm not wrong, he has been here for more than a day or two.”
"He came long ago, but he never attacked. He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity like today!”
"Waiting for the 200,000 Qin soldiers to be forced into a dead end before they counterattack. Only in this way can we fight for a glimmer of hope!”
" If not for that," Li Mu said unwillingly," even if he had 10,000 cavalrymen, how many of the trapped Qin soldiers could he have taken away?"”
Sima Shang was slightly shocked.
They were shocked that Li Mu had such a high evaluation of Bai Yu, who was still young.
"General, we still have a chance. We haven't lost yet. Why are you in a hurry to return to Handan?”Sima Shang asked in confusion.
Li Mu gently shook his head and said,""You are a good general who leads troops, but the matters of the court are far from as simple as you think.”
Li Mu said helplessly," A few days ago, His Majesty sent someone to urge me to attack. However, the Qin army still had the strength to fight back then, so I did not attack. Therefore, His Majesty was already dissatisfied."”
"Moreover, there are villains around the king who are slandering me. This time, they will definitely say that this general is colluding with the Qin country!”
Li Mu sighed.
Everything was fate.
It was as if it was destined.
He had thought that with this victory, he would be able to control the military in Zhao and defeat the covetous Qin country.
However, he did not expect that such a situation of certain death would actually be broken.
Moreover, those villains in the court who did not get along with him would definitely slander him.
At that time, both he and Sima Shang would be stripped of their military authority.
It would be better for him to return to Handan immediately. That way, Sima Shang could still stay in the army.
Moreover, he no longer had any hope of wiping out the entire Qin army.
As long as Bai Yu stayed!
He didn't know why, but he had a deep worry.
The State of Zhao would probably be destroyed by this young man named Bai Yu.
"General, why don't I go back with you? I'll explain to the king!”Sima Shang said.
"No, it's useless." Li Mu shook his head.”
"You just need to stay here and keep an eye on the Qin army. Once they come out of Ping Yang City, go after them. That young man called Bai Yu will definitely lead his cavalry to stop you. Kill him and don't let him return to the Qin country alive. As for the others,"
" No," Li Mu shook his head." The others are not that important anymore."”
Sima Shang could only nod his head as he looked at Li Mu who had made up his mind.
"I understand. Please rest assured, General. I will definitely do as you say!”Sima Shang said seriously.
That night, Li Mu set off from the Martial City and headed straight for Handan.
The distance from the Martial City to Handan was only half a day, and he could reach Handan before dawn.
He didn't know what was waiting for him, but in order to exchange for the life of the young man named Bai Yu, he still had to try!
