Chapter 1166 This is a life-and-death war, not a house

   “Persuade Li Mu to surrender?”

   Wang Jian was not surprised by this matter, he was just a little surprised, after all, there is no shortage of generals in Daqin today.

   Of course, these days, he also has a new understanding of Li Mu’s ability, that is a great talent.

  Li Mu’s ability is not inferior to him.

  Especially after hearing Ying Gao’s ambitions, he naturally understands Li Mu’s role in this, but now that Li Mu has an army of 200,000 people and was once defeated by Ying Gao, I’m afraid…

   After all, Wang Jian also knew that the original battle was not a very fair duel.

   Thoughts in his heart turned, Wang Jian moved towards Ying Gao and said, “Prince Prince, the current Li Mu, who sits in Dai County, holds 200,000 elite Zhao troops, and is even more convinced by the people of Dai County.”

   “We haven’t forced Li Mu into a desperate situation, I’m afraid the effect of persuading him to surrender will not be good!”

   Wang Jian’s words were very euphemistic, telling Ying Gao how difficult this matter was.

   Hearing this, Yinggao was silent for a while: “I know this too, but try it out, it’s really unnecessary to fight against Li Mu.”

   “The 200,000-strong army is in the hands of Li Mu. Once the battle is dead, it will also have a huge impact on our army. At that time, countless soldiers will stay at Jingxing Pass.”

   Having said this, Ying Gao turned towards Tie Ying and said, “Send someone to Li Mu’s shogunate, and make an appointment in the name of the above general. Don’t expose Gu’s whereabouts.”

   “No.”

   Iron Eagle nodded and left.

After   Tie Ying left, Ying Gao turned towards Wang Jian and said, “Teacher, if Li Mu is willing to surrender, what should Li Mu do with the 200,000 elite Zhao army?”

   Hearing this, Wang Jian was taken aback for a moment, this is indeed a big problem, it would be easier to deal with not surrendering, the big deal would be a war.

   However, after Li Mu’s surrender, the 200,000 elite Zhao Jun and Li Mu, no matter how they deal with it, is a big problem.

   It’s not good to separate in a hurry, and it’s not good to leave it alone. For a while, Wang Jian only felt that his head was too big, and he still couldn’t think of a good way.

   In desperation, he had no choice but to move towards Ying Gao and said, “Your Majesty, after all, this matter involves Li Mu and the 200,000 Zhao army, do you want to ask the king?”

   “Yes, to ask the father and king.”

   Yinggao nodded, then turned towards Wang Jian and said, “In this way, the teacher’s military report will be sent to Xianyang, and the matter will be told to the king.”

   “This matter needs to be resolved quickly, so use the Golden Arrow messenger and let it go.”

   “No.”

  …

  Wang Jian didn’t give Ying Gao an accurate answer, which made Ying Gao a little confused. He didn’t doubt Li Mu’s character, but what about the others.

  The 200,000-strong army, if left alone, will be the source of the disaster. He cannot tolerate such a thing, nor can Qin Wangzheng.

   Yinggao knew that Qin Wangzheng was a monarch with a strong desire to control, and he would not allow such a thing to happen.

   Therefore, if he wants to persuade Li Mu to surrender, he must come up with a plan that both parties agree with.

   Watching Ying Gao walking around in the shogunate, Wang Jian was silent for a long time, hesitating to speak.

   In his opinion, Yinggao’s sharp edge is too strong, this is the son of Qin Wangzheng, the prince of Daqin, or he would have already…

   Even the son of Qin Wangzheng, the crown prince of Daqin, the power and prestige of Yinggao today are too high, with an army of 600,000 people, reaching half of Daqin.

   The most important thing is that Xiazhou, Liangzhou and other places were all conquered by Ying Gao, plus Handi, now Zhaodi.

  Unfortunately, Ying Gao is not only blessed in military affairs, but also outstanding in literary affairs. All the university palaces in Daqin were established by Yinggao, and many of the literati in Daqin now come from Yinggao’s door.

   Ying Gao is the Prince of Great Qin. Besides Qin Wangzheng, he is the most legitimate heir of Great Qin. Under such circumstances, Ying Gao is actually very dangerous.

   However, as a courtier, he was not easy to speak, even as Ying Gao’s teacher, Wang Jian did not dare to speak.

   Once he opens his mouth, it becomes a provocation for the relationship between father and son. Not only will he suffer, but even the Great Qin court will be turbulent.

  …

   They were all in the Jingxing Pass generation. Li Mu’s shogunate and Wang Jian’s shogunate were only ten miles away. The people dispatched by Tie Ying appeared outside the shogunate after an hour.

   This is still going through layers of inspections by Zhao Jun scouts, otherwise, he could have been faster.

   “Mr. Wu’an, the scouts captured a soldier of the Qin army, who claimed to be the special envoy of the Qin army, and came to see Lord Wu’an on the order of the general Wang Jian.” The Sima of the Chinese army reported the news to Li Mu.

   Hearing this, Li Mu put down the bamboo slips and said to Sima of the Central Army: “The visitor is the guest, and the two bring it in.”

   “No.”

   Looking at the special envoy of the Qin army who was **** with five flowers, Li Mu frowned and said to the soldiers, “Untie the rope on him.”

   “No.”

   “Wang Jian sent you here, why?” Li Mu looked at the person who came, and said in a calm tone.

   Tie Shu sorted out his appearance and said to Li Mu, “Tie Shu, the special envoy of the Qin army, has met Lord Wu An.”

   “I received the general’s order, and the general has a word. I have been in a confrontation with Lord Wu’an for several months. I have admired Lord Wu’an for a long time, and I want to meet his greatest opponent in this life.”

   “I don’t know if Lord Wu’an is okay?”

   glanced at Tie Shu, Li Mu pondered for a moment, and said, “Go back and tell Wang Jian, Ben agreed to see him.”

   “Tell him, each with three thousand troops, to meet at a place five miles to the left of Jingxing Pass, at an equal distance from you and me.”

   “Building the high platform, I will take care of it myself, and he doesn’t need to worry about other things.”

  …

   Hearing this, Tie Shu subconsciously refuted, but just looking at Li Mu, he fell silent and nodded casually.

   “I will pass the words of Lord Wu’an to the General, and leave!”

  Li Mu gestured to the Chinese army Sima: “I will see off the guest for this!”

   “No.”

   After a quarter of an hour, the Central Army Sima returned, turned towards Li Mu, and said, “Mr. Wu An, do you really want to see Wang Jian?”

   “And this special envoy of the Qin army, why do you want to put him back? These days, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Lord Wu An, it’s too late to chase him now!”

   glanced at the Sima of the Chinese army, Li Mu shook his head, reprimanded, and said, “The two armies face each other, and if you don’t kill them, this is the iron rule of the army.”

   “What’s more, now that the Qin army has the upper hand, and one would have killed the Qin army’s messenger, the Qin army will be furious, and thus anger the people of Dai County.”

   “These days, our soldiers have suffered casualties, and the same Qin army has also suffered casualties.”

  Li Mu walked over and patted the shoulder of the Chinese army Sima, and said earnestly, “This is war!”

   “A life-and-death war, we are fighting for the two countries, not playing a family.”

   “You remember, as long as it is a war, there will be death. No one can avoid this. The original Qin Dynasty Wuan Jun Baiqi was so invincible, didn’t he also suffer heavy casualties in Changping!”

  …
