Li Mu was completely stunned.

As a general, it is a natural duty to open up territory for the king, but even Li Mu himself didn't expect that Zhao Dan's appetite would be so big!

You must know that judging from the map, the Western Regions alone is already very vast, basically similar to the Qin State before it was destroyed.

Therefore, if Zhao Dan's plan is really followed, then Li Mu will not only need to annex the entire Qin State in a war, but then swallow more land equivalent to a Yan State by the way.

After a short period of shock, Li Mu's heart suddenly swelled with excitement again.

For Li Mu personally, after destroying the Qin State, he actually didn't have much interest in destroying Chu.

The reason is also very simple, the topography of Chu, especially the land of Chu south of the Yangtze River, is not suitable for cavalry.

For Li Mu, he was more interested in expanding to the west, because that was where the cavalry came into play, and it was his Li Mu's favorite battlefield.

As for whether Li Mu himself could lay such a large territory, he had never doubted it in his heart.

A famous general like Li Mu is most indispensable in his self-confidence.

So Li Mu almost couldn't wait to speak: "King, when can you send troops?" ”

Zhao Dan looked at Li Mu, who was excited, and couldn't help but smile: "You have just finished the Qin State's conquest, don't you want to have a good rest?" ”

Li Mu said: "What did the king say, the minister only learned today that the world is so big, and there are so many places waiting for the minister to conquer for the king, and the minister can't wait now, so there is no reason to rest?" ”

Zhao Dan laughed loudly and patted Li Mu's shoulder: "Don't worry, now that the army is traveling, all aspects of grain and grass need to be prepared in advance, at least next spring before the war can start, and you will stay in Handan before that." ”

……

Perseus was in a very good mood.

Perseus had been free since he had met the "Zheng Zhu" two days earlier, and although his men who had been taken away still hadn't appeared, the chief manager had already brought the news that Perseus wanted.

A cavalry army of 30,000 Zhao is about to gather in the northwest of Zhao, and as long as the assembly is completed, it will set off for the Western Regions to conquer the Huns entrenched there.

Truth be told, Perseus is a little impatient right now.

30,000 cavalry, in terms of number, is roughly the same as the cavalry force of the Huns.

Although Perseus did not know much about the battle between Zhao and the Xiongnu, since the Zhao people were able to send such an army, it must have shown that they had enough confidence in it.

This amount made Perseus very satisfied, and only 30,000 people wanted to take the entire Western Regions? You must know that the vastness of the Western Regions is impossible to defend without a force of 58,000.

Zhao Guoren, after all, doesn't know the Western Regions.

"Ales, do you understand? Before we do anything, we must first recognize the essence of the matter. Only after recognizing the essence of things can we truly do things without fail. Perseus walked in front of him, and at the same time he was smug in educating Ales beside him.

Regarding Perseus's words, Ales naturally nodded in agreement.

As a mixed-race born to a slave girl of the Qin State, Ales has actually been very unpopular among the missions.

Previously, his job was to feed Perseus's horses, and he had to sleep with dozens of horses every day, which was very hard. So now that I have this opportunity to be by Perseus's side, I naturally won't let it go.

At this moment, the master and servant were strolling on the streets of Handan.

Looking at the magnificent mansions on both sides of the surroundings, the gorgeous carriages coming and going, and the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom in high-crowned costumes on the carriages, Perseus couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "I originally thought that Antioch City was the most beautiful and god-like city I had ever seen, but obviously, this is also a land favored by the gods." ”

Ales said, "Master, they do not worship our gods, but their own Taiyi God. ”

Perseus waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a smile: "There are many kinds of gods in this world, some protect us, some protect them, this is a normal thing. But don't worry, the Western Regions will still belong to us after all. ”

Although there were two Zhao guards by his side, Perseus, who spoke Greek, was not worried that these Zhao people would be able to understand what he was saying.

So he smiled very happily.

It was at this moment that a building not far away caught Perseus's attention.

The building looks quite unremarkable, but on the second floor, there are several beautiful women leaning on the railing and smiling, their clothes are quite revealing, and the scenery between the beautiful eyes is flowing around, and the scenery is looming between the gestures, which is really itchy.

Perseus coughed dryly, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth: "Ales, this place is ......"

Ales glanced at the signboard of the building, and suddenly whispered: "Master, this place is called Nulu, which is our ......"

Ales snorted twice, revealing a lewd smile that all men understand.

Perseus was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, go in and have a look!" ”

After a while, Perseus, who walked into the women's room, was surrounded by Yingying Yanyan, and chose two beautiful women of Zhao Kingdom, and went upstairs happily with left and right hugs.

Ales sat calmly on a table in the corner of the hall on the first floor, waiting for his master's pleasure time to end.

Judging by past experience, this shouldn't take too long.

At this moment, a man sat down in front of Ales.

Ales didn't seem surprised by the arrival, even if sitting in front of him was the famous head of Hu Yiwei, Mao Sui.

Mao Sui looked at Ales and said with interest: "Have you decided?" ”

Ales smiled, took out a thin piece of parchment from his bosom, and pushed it in front of Mao Sui: "I've been using Perseus for many days, so I should be here." ”

Mao then picked up the parchment, glanced at it slightly, and then nodded with great satisfaction.

Ales looked at Mao Sui and said in a deep voice, "What about my reward?" ”

To be a Perseus dog or a citizen of a powerful Zhao State, Ales felt that this choice was not difficult at all.

Mao Sui showed a smile, also took out a piece of white paper, and slowly pushed it in front of Ales.

Ales looked at it and saw a line written on it.

"Hu Yiwei, the first member of the Western Regions Branch, Zhao Zhong. Nationality: Handan. He gave a set of houses, ten slaves, and two hundred fields. ”

Ales looked up in surprise and delight, just in time to meet Mao Sui's kind smile.

Without saying a word, Ales stood up and knelt down towards Mao Sui.

"Zhao Zhong has seen the manager!"
