Chapter 889: Aweng, You Have Changed. You Have No Bottom Line! Where Are the Qin Army? Where Have All Those Qin Army Gone!

Having gained a big advantage from Li Mu, King Yan was in a good mood and loudly ordered: "Pass on my order!"

“Let’s have a big feast, dance and play music!”

"I want to have a big banquet on behalf of Lord Wu An!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tent curtain was opened by two eunuchs. Ten tall, passionate and enchanting dancers from the Yan Kingdom entered the tent with small steps. Another fifty were less beautiful but still beautiful. The most beautiful dancer in the world stood outside the tent, dancing with the dancers inside the tent.

A famous palace maid came into the tent with delicacies and fine wines in her hands, and placed them on the desks of the two generals. She did not leave after that. Instead, every two palace maids sat beside one of the generals, looking affectionate and tender as water. Looking at the general he served, he looked like he was ready to take whatever he wanted.

The faces of Yan's ministers and generals already had smiles on their faces.

Because they know very well that hosting banquets, drinking wine, and sending dancing girls are routine operations for King Yan to win people's hearts. Although the guest of honor at King Yan's banquet today must be Li Mu, Li Mu must be the first to select these dancing girls. But they can also get some benefits and choose one of Li Mu's remaining dancers to bring back to the tent.

However, the generals of the Dai Kingdom had tense muscles. Li Hong even held the hilt of his sword and looked at the dancing girls on the left and right with wary eyes.

As someone who has thoroughly studied all of Ying Chengyu's wars, Li Hong will never forget how Fan Yuqi died at the hands of Ying Chengyu!

Li Mu immediately handed over: "The biggest advantage of our army in this battle is time!"

"I think that such a precious opportunity should not be indulged in singing and dancing beauties. I also ask King Yan to order these musicians and dancers to retreat quickly!"

King Yan smiled happily and waved his hand: "You are too worried on behalf of Mr. Wu An!"

"It's just a banquet, nothing to worry about."

"On behalf of Mr. Wu'an, he was drinking and chatting with me. The officers and men had some fine wine and delicacies to relax their bodies and minds to recharge their batteries. This would not waste the opportunity to fight, but also allow the officers and men to have more energy to fight the Qin army. What's the point? No!"

Li Hong sneered in his heart. For the monarchs and ministers who have been living in the rear all year round, there seems to be nothing wrong with these words.

But to them who have been fighting on the front line all year round, Yan Wangxi’s words were simply fart!

Aweng will definitely reject King Yan verbally, and even angrily rebuke King Yan!

Li Mu frowned and said, "What King Yan said is reasonable."

"It's just that women are prohibited from serving in this general's ranks, both in the army and in the city."

"Please also ask King Yan to retire the dancing concubine and the maid!"

Seeing Li Mu's resolute attitude, the King of Yan could not persuade him much. He could only wave away all the dancers under the reluctant eyes of the generals of the Yan army, and then raised a nobleman to invite him to drink: "I have heard about the reputation of Lord Dai Wu'an for a long time. I heard about the great military power of the elite of the country."

"It is my great fortune to be able to ally with the generals and soldiers of our country to attack Qin."

"I would like to pay my respects to you all!"

The generals of the Yan army raised their heads and shouted: "Respect all of you!"

The generals on behalf of the army all looked at Li Mu, their brows filled with confusion and questions.

Li Mu slowly raised the wine cup and said softly: "Yes."

Then Jiu Jue touched his lips and sipped lightly.

Seeing this, the generals of the Dai army also imitated Li Mu and took a sip of wine.

King Yan looked sideways at Li Mu's wine master and asked with a smile: "Don't you like this wine, Mr. Dai Wu'an?"

Li Mu said quietly: "It is not convenient to drink during the march."

King Yan wanted to win over a few more words, but Li Mu's topic had already returned to the main topic: "Yicheng is adjacent to the Great Wall of Yishui, so it is the most convenient city to implement our army's strategy."

"But if our army's plan has been exposed and the Qin army has deployed heavy troops to defend Yicheng, King Yan can also mobilize his elite troops to attack Santai by surprise..."

At the head of the camp, Li Mu ignored many of Yan Wangxi's words and kept talking about the key points of the battle.

At the bottom of the camp, a group of generals of the Yan State took the initiative to win over the generals of the Dai State under the hint of King Yan, and it was quite lively as they drank and drank.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that King Xi of Yan reluctantly sent Li Mu off in person and left the Yan army's camp.

However, facing the enthusiasm of King Yan, the generals on behalf of the army did not have any smiles on their faces. Instead, they all looked sad!

After he was completely far away from the Yan army camp, Li Hong immediately rode his horse to Li Mu's side, but he scratched his head and didn't know how to speak, so he could only drive the horse to pace back and forth.

In the end, it was Li Mu who took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter?"

Li Hong tightened the reins and let his horses advance side by side with Li Mu's horses. He said in an extremely irritable voice: "At the time of the alliance, King Yan clearly agreed to the king's proposal and said that the Yan army would obey Aweng's orders."

"In the end, he personally led the troops to the expedition as a king, and even more persecuted Awondo as a king. This is close to deceiving the allies."

"Today, Aweng has formulated a military strategy that is most suitable for the two armies, but the King of Yan disobeyed the general's order because Yicheng was easy to attack, and forced Aweng to switch the strategic tasks of the Yan army and the Dai army. This is really too much!"

"I think Aweng was too tolerant of King Yan, and even made me pay a big price for it."

"Dan'er is also worried that after Jing'er's advice, Aweng's attitude towards King Yan will be too presumptuous and rude, so that Aweng will anger King Yan and suffer disadvantage."

Li Hong said painfully: "For a moment, I didn't know what to do!"

Other generals envy Li Hong for having a good father, but only the three brothers Li Bo, Li Hong, and Li Xian know how much they suffer. With a father like Li Mu, life is really like walking a tightrope every day, and they have to go shopping twice a year. gate of hell!

From time to time, the three Li Hong brothers would jointly persuade Li Mu to restrain his temper. At least don't point at the king's nose and scold the coward, don't point at the queen's nose and scold the whore, don't point at the nose of his colleagues and scold the coward. Even if they want to remonstrate, they should at least be tactful. .

Today, Li Mu was very polite and outspoken to Yan Wang Xi at first, but in the end he agreed to Yan Wang Xi's unreasonable request. Not only did he really give up simpler combat tasks to the Yan army, but he also agreed to Yan Wang Xi's banquet. Drinking invitations, even drinking on the march!

Li Mu's performance was very different from the past and even had no bottom line. It was hard not to make Li Hong think that Li Mu had gone too far, so much so that Li Hong didn't even know how to persuade him!

Li Mu glanced at Li Hong and said quietly: "This is not a question you should think about."

"For today's great generation, the most important thing is the battle to attack Qin. Everything in the great generation should serve this battle!"

"Although you are the second son of this general, you are also the captain of this army."

"Have the camps of your soldiers and horses been set up according to the general's orders? Have your lightly and seriously injured been properly placed? How is your morale? Does your armor and weapons need to be replaced? Can you fulfill the orders I have given you?"

Li Mu increased his voice and said, "These are the things you should think about!"

Li Hong opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only say: "Wei!"

Li Hong drove his horse away dejectedly, but just after Li Hong had taken a few steps, Li Mu's voice came from behind him: "Don't worry, Nai Weng is not as stupid as King Yan, let alone like Xiang Bangkai. The silverfish!”

Li Hong looked back in surprise and suddenly handed over his hand: "General, I have deep faith in the coach!"

Li Mu nodded lightly: "Do your best to do your duty, don't say this to others, don't let Nai Weng down!"

Li Hong quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Wei!"

The banquet was delayed for most of the day.

After the banquet, it was natural for the senior military generals to be collectively drunk and unable to set out immediately.

It is unavoidable to say goodbye to King Yan before setting off, and then be dragged into a chat by King Yan.

As a result, Li Mu's troops stayed for a day and a half longer than originally planned, and only officially embarked on their eastward march on September 28, the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty!

It is really reasonable that Li Mu's troops, who had just suffered a big battle, could not march in a hurry, but could only march at the same speed as the Yan army.

During the march, it happened to be the day of the wax festival between Qin and Zhao. We couldn't let the soldiers continue marching in the New Year, right? It is human nature to delay eating a good meal for a whole day!

After a series of reasonable delays, it was not until October 2, the 16th year of the Qin Dynasty that Li Mu's troops finally crossed a distance of seventy miles and arrived near Linle County, southeast of Zhuo County.

The eyes of all the generals including Ma Fuxun and Sun Yi were filled with confusion and confusion.

In five days, we only walked seventy miles. Are we here to fight or go on an outing?

But the smile in Li Mu's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, a scout galloped back on his horse. He rushed all the way to Li Mu before raising his hands and whispering: "Commander!"

"Linle Camp has deployed tactics to deceive soldiers, but its strength should not exceed 10,000!"

"The garrison in Linle City is between three thousand and five thousand!"

Generals on behalf of the army: Huh? ? ?

We are all mentally prepared for a decisive battle with the 50,000 elite Qin troops led by Yang Duanhe.

Then you told us that there were only 10,000 enemy troops left in the front?

Ma Fuxun asked in disbelief: "Did you read that correctly?"

"Linle is an important place in Dukang, and it is also the location of the Qin State's main camp guarding the northeast. Even if Qin Yang Wengzi repeatedly dispatched Linle soldiers and horses to support the Yishui Great Wall, it is impossible to have only 10,000 soldiers and horses left!"

The scout said seriously: "When we first met Humble, I thought Humble was wrong."

"That's why I sent a group of soldiers to explore the surroundings of Linle Camp at night, and lurked in the surroundings to observe its water collection, food transportation, and cooking smoke. The conclusion is still that the number of troops in Linle Camp will not exceed 10,000. !”

"In order to prevent us from falling into the enemy's trick, another group of soldiers are still exploring around Linle Camp. If there is any more news, it will be quickly reported back to the army!"

Ma Fuxun lost his voice and murmured: "This, this, this, how could it be like this?"

"If the Qin army led by Wengzi Qin Yang is not in the Linle camp, where will they be?"

"Could it be that an ambush was arranged around..."

Li Mu interrupted Ma Fuxun's scary guess and said quietly: "If the general's prediction is correct, the number of defenders in Qin Linle's camp will not be ten thousand."

The generals felt a little relieved after hearing this, and all looked at Li Mu.

Sure enough, the coach has seen through the Qin army's strategy of hiding troops!

Then they heard Li Mu continue to say: "The defenders in Qin Linle's camp will only have three to five thousand people at most."

"As for the rest?"

"It's not like an ambush was set up all around."

The corners of Li Mu's mouth turned up slightly and he said, "But they should all have arrived in Yicheng!"
