After a while, Zhao Dan walked out of the room with Li Mu with a smile on his face.

Li Mu asked with some puzzlement: "Why didn't the king expose the identity of this liar?" ”

On the way here, Li Mu had already learned the cause and effect of the whole thing.

For Li Mu, his idea is actually quite simple.

Whoever deceives the king deserves to die!

This old liar named Perseus is so blatant in deceiving the king, it's just damned!

However, the direction of the matter made Li Mu a little puzzled, because his own king did not achieve any benefits after a negotiation with Perseus, but cooperated with this Perseus's performance.

It's weird.

Zhao Dan smiled and said to Li Mu: "Wu Xiangjun, do you also feel that the widow has lost in this negotiation?" ”

Li Mu opened his mouth and did not speak.

Although Li Mu rarely served by the king's side, but with such an obvious accusation against the king, the governor was really not stupid enough to say it directly.

The smile on Zhao Dan's face became heavier, and after a pause, he said: "Wu Xiangjun, if you look at it, who is the most important of the three of land, materials, and population?" ”

Li Mu could answer this question, only to see him say without thinking: "Back to the king, of course, the land is the most important!" Only with more land can we feed more people and produce more materials. ”

Zhao Dan nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, then the widow and this Perseus signed a treaty, and they were able to obtain a large piece of land in the Western Regions, wouldn't it be a lot of money, why are you this expression again?" ”

Li Mu was stunned.

After a long while, Li Mu spoke: "The king doesn't know, this Western Regions is a desert land, although there are several oases in the desert, but its terrain is completely different from the Central Plains, and it is quite difficult to defend these places for a long time. And because the land in the oasis is limited, even if you migrate from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, the number of immigrants is very limited. ”

"In this way, our country can neither garrison troops on a large scale in the Western Regions, nor can it migrate to the Western Regions on a large scale, even if it is temporarily captured, what is the benefit?"

As the northern governor of Zhao State, Li Mu has always been thinking about how to conquer the Western Regions, so he is still quite concerned about the intelligence collection of the Western Regions, so it is not unusual to know this information and analyze it to a conclusion.

From Li Mu's own point of view, he felt that the Western Regions was only suitable for establishing a small garrison to rule the Western Regions as suzerains, but it was difficult to bring this place under the direct rule of the Zhao State.

Zhao Dan laughed, shook his head, and said, "Wu Xiangjun, Wu Xiangjun, the widow must admit that your statement is actually very reasonable. But have you ever thought that the target of the widow is not the Western Regions? ”

Li Mu was stunned again: "What does the king mean......"

At this time, Zhao Dan's carriage had stopped in the palace of Zhao State.

Zhao Dan stepped out of the carriage: "Wu Xiangjun, you will come with the widow." ”

After a while, the two came to the Longtai side hall, which is where Zhao Dan often works on weekdays.

Under Zhao Dan's order, a map was quickly placed on the shelf.

Li Mu looked at the map in front of him, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This, this is ......"

The scene in front of him was definitely very shocking to Li Mu.

The reason why I say this is because the map in front of Li Mu is not a map of the Central Plains, nor is it a map of Asia, but a map of the world!

Needless to say, this map of the world was drawn according to Zhao Dan's memory.

Accuracy or something, in fact, there is no need to count on it, but the general terrain, the outlines of the continents and continents, can be seen clearly.

Zhao Dan walked in front of the map and turned his head to look at his confidant: "See, Wu Xiangjun." This is the whole world we live in now! ”

Li Mu stared at the map in front of him, and his breathing involuntarily became short, and it took a long time before he said, "King, this world is ...... How big is it? ”

You must know that according to Li Mu, or according to the understanding of the Chinese people in this era, basically the entire Central Plains, plus the northern nomadism, the east of Korea, the west of the Western Regions, and the south of Baiyue, this is the whole world in the hearts of the Chinese people.

But now, the world in front of Li Mu is more than dozens of times bigger than the world that Li Mu understood before!

Zhao Dan looked at Li Mu with a shocked face, a leisurely smile appeared on his face, and then slowly picked up a stick and clicked on the map a country marked with a red line: "Dadu Governor Ru, look at it, this is the widowed Zhao State." ”

Li Mu carefully observed the Zhao Kingdom marked by Zhao Dan.

There is no doubt that the current Zhao State definitely belongs to a super behemoth.

Its territory stretches from the Korean Peninsula in the east, to the end of the Qilian Mountains in the west, to the Gobi Desert in the north, and to the Yangtze River in the south.

Looking at it, Li Mu's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

This is the first power in the world that Li Mu works for, works for, and fights for!

Zhao Dan coughed, pulling Li Mu's attention back, then shifted his baton, drew a circle in a large area west of the Qilian Mountains, and continued: "Here, this is the Western Regions. ”

Zhao Dan continued to face the baton to the west, nodded to the west of the Western Regions, and said, "Here, this is the Seleucid Kingdom. ”

Li Mu fixed his eyes, and his face suddenly became a little surprised: "The territory of this Seleucid Kingdom...... How big is it? ”

It can be seen from the map that although the territory of the Seleucid Empire was not as large as the territory of the current Zhao State, it was almost two-thirds of the territory of the current Zhao State, which was larger than the Qin and Chu states in their heyday.

Zhao Dan nodded, nodded in the easternmost part of the Seleucid Empire, a large area on the verge of the Western Regions, and said with a smile: "Here, this is the Bactria region of the Seleucid Kingdom, and that Perseus was sent by this Bactrian governor." ”

Li Mu nodded, and recorded this place name deeply in his heart.

Zhao Dan said this, his face suddenly became serious, and he said to Li Mu in a deep voice: "The request of the widow is very simple, you will lead a cavalry corps to the Western Regions, where you will defeat the damned Huns and drive the Huns back to Mobei again." ”

"In addition, you have another task, that is, after defeating this damn Huns, you will eliminate this damned Bactrian governor for the widow, and bring this part of Bactria under the rule of the widow!"
