At noon this day, the sun was hanging high in the sky, like a huge fireball, scorching the whole earth extremely hot.
The trees and flowers on both sides of the road are drooping, looking sick and listless.
The huge team that has been stretching for several miles is constantly marching, and it seems that you can't see the edge at a glance.
Li Mu led the cavalry to lead the way. Everyone looked tired and dusty. The originally brightly colored armor was also covered in a layer of dust, looking dirty and embarrassed.
At this time, Li Mu and his group had been driving for four consecutive days, speeding up without stopping, hoping to reach Handan as soon as possible.
"General Li, how long is the journey? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
The eunuch who passed the decree beside him asked with a tired and impatient face.
When he came from Handan, he was not very tired. Now there are 100,000 troops going to Handan together. Although the distance is the same, the number of people and the degree of fatigue are very different.
"Messenger, please be calm and don't be impatient. It seems that we can arrive in Handan City tomorrow morning.
Order. Order the troops to speed up and strive to arrive in Handan early tomorrow morning. drive!"
Li Mu looked at the sky and thought for a while.
Under Li Mu's order, the 100,000 troops did not raise any objections. They obeyed the military order and began to march again. They appeared to be very elite and well-trained.
The next day, the guards guarding the gates of Handan City started patrolling early.
A general defending the city suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a deafening sound of horseshoes, approaching Handan.
The general stared nervously into the distance, ready to warn at any time.
Suddenly he saw the flag of the army in the distance. There were two poles in total, and a big "Zhao" was written on one pole, showing that they were Zhao's army.
Finally, there is a handsome flag with the word "Li" written on it, showing the name of the commander-in-chief of the army.
The general seemed very excited, "Hurry up, open the city gate, it's Li Mu, General Li led the army to come to support.
I want to pass the news to the king. "
He hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, while he ran towards the palace.
"General Li Muli, the army is here!"
"General Li Mu and Li led the army to come!'
This sound spread throughout Handan City, and all the soldiers and residents knew it.
All of a sudden, there was an uproar, and everyone started discussing happily.
"General Li is finally here, great!"
"Now, with General Li here, we will definitely not fail again!"
"Yes, yes, General Li has never failed! He will definitely be able to drive the damned Qin army out!"
"Come on, let's go and see General Li."
"Go, everyone go!"
All the residents flocked to both sides of the street, wanting to have a closer look at Li Mu.
King Zhao, who was in the palace, also heard the shouts of the residents in the city, his expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He ordered all the princes and ministers to wait at the gate of the palace to welcome Li Mu's arrival.
After Zhao Wang gave the order, he turned his head back to the main hall to wait. In a place where no one saw, Zhao Wang clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were red.
This is Li Mu also leading some cavalry and infantry to Handan City, and the rest of the army is stationed outside the city to rest, waiting for orders.
Only a small part of the army led by Li Mu followed the messenger and entered Handan City.
All the people and soldiers in the city could see the heroic appearance of Li Mu and the army he led at a glance.
Although they have gone through a long march, their armor is not clean enough, and their faces are tired, but all of them have good spirits, sharp eyes, resolute and serious faces, and they all have a burst of vigor, which makes them look very majestic.
Everyone was heartbroken, and then there were a lot of shouts, all talking about and praising Li Mu and his army, and the whole city became noisy again.
Li Mu sat on the horseback, and waved to the people around him in greeting with a friendly face.
In a dark place that Li Mu didn't know, two remote places with tall houses. There are two groups of people with different expressions, watching them secretly.
"My lord, I didn't expect King Zhao to reuse Li Mu again. This news must be sent to General Wang Jian as soon as possible."
A middle-aged man with a gloomy expression said.
"Yes, send someone to do it right away."
A middle-aged man in black stood at the window and said, looking at Li Mu's beloved appearance.
On the other side, Zhao Chen's shadow guards were also secretly observing.
This time Shadow Killer personally led the team. The words are all the same, and they all let people send the information back to their respective decision makers to know, while doing the next work on it.
Li Mu continued to go to the palace without realizing it.
He never imagined how easy it would be for people to sneak in in Zhao Guoguo's capital, which is really horrifying.
"I have met General Li, and I will ask General Li to help Zhao Guo get through this critical moment."
A group of ministers dressed in court uniforms, crowns and silk belts, and fluttering sleeves bowed down to salute Li Mu together.
"The last general, as a general of the Zhao State, will definitely help the Zhao State to overcome this difficulty. You don't need to be polite."
Li Mu hurriedly got off his horse, helped up an old official who was the leader, and said to everyone.
Those ministers also took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and took the lead in leading Li Mu into the palace hall to meet King Zhao.
In the main hall, King Zhao sat upright with a serious face.
He encouraged Li Mu first, and then talked about the current situation. He hoped that he would destroy the Huanju tribe in the southeast first. After all, he was the closest to Handan and the threat was the greatest.
In addition, Li Mu was named a general, commanded all the troops, and immediately rushed to the front to stop the Qin army.
After Li Mu received the order, he led the army without stopping and set off immediately to the southeast of Zhao State, near Pingyang City. He was constantly eliminating scouts, ascertaining the enemy's movements, formulating strategies, and preparing to defeat them in one fell swoop. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
