Chapter 474: Li Mu, could it be that you can only blow nonsense? (4th Update)
After hearing Xianshan's words, Zhao Dan was silent for a while.
Everyone present looked at Zhao Dan and waited for Zhao Dan to make a decision.
Among them, the person who was most nervous and concerned about Zhao Dan's answer was Xianshan himself.
Xianshan knew very well in his heart that it had been five days since he came out to find reinforcements.
During these five days, will the Aries King and his people still be able to hold on? Will they still be able to survive the pursuit of the five thousand elites led by the Hun Evil King?
These questions are all unknowns, and it is precisely these unknown question marks that make Xianshan burn inside.
If he could, Xianshan would even like to have a knife in his hand.
In this way, he can put this knife on the excessively young Zhao Guojun in front of him, and force him to send troops to rescue his father.
Xianshan knew very well that if he did that, he would definitely die, but when he thought of his father's parents, his siblings, his wife and the unborn child in his wife's womb, Xianshan felt that if he could save them, then even if he really died here today, what would it matter?
In a lifetime, there will always be some people and things that can make him desperate and unscrupulous to protect and fight at the cost of his life.
It's a pity that Xianshan doesn't have a knife in his hand now, and he can't even separate his left and right fists a little apart to keep himself tightly tied behind his back.
So he had to do it another way.
Kowtow.
Bang.
Bang bang.
Bang bang bang.
Xianshan's head slammed on the bluestone ground, making a crisp sound, his forehead broke, and the blood flowed out of the wound, falling to the ground ticking, gradually gathering, forming a small pool of shocking red, and then returning under the next close contact with the skin of his forehead, and then slowly flowing down Xianshan's forehead.
Bleeding profusely.
"King, as long as you can send troops to save our tribe, our Aries tribe is willing to offer you eternal loyalty!"
Xianshan's tone was extremely sincere, and the expression of the almost drowning man looking at the life-saving straw made people involuntarily feel a little sympathy.
But not everyone sympathized with Xianshan, the Huns.
Li Mu, who was standing beside Zhao Dan, saw Xianshan's appearance, and his heart was displeased, so he took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Xianshan! You and other Huns have been invading the border fortress of our Zhao State all the year round, looting grain, and killing our soldiers and civilians, which is a great crime! Now that you are alone, you are trying to turn to the king for help, which is simply wishful thinking! ”
As a Zhao native who had been stationed in Gaoque for many years, Li Mu fought more than a hundred battles with the Huns, and the Huns who died under Li Mu had already exceeded three digits.
But on the contrary, Li Mu also had many Zhao soldiers around him who were killed or disabled in the battle with the Huns.
Li Mu did not have any good feelings for the Xiongnu.
Xianshan heard Li Mu speak, so he subconsciously moved his gaze to Li Mu's body, and when he heard Li Mu's reprimand, Xianshan's whole body couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly defended: "This general misunderstood, my Aries tribe is located in the north of Yanzhi Mountain, and I fight with the Yue people on weekdays, and I haven't entered the border of Kou Zhao State!" ”
"Yanzhi Mountain?" Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but immediately came back to his senses and shouted: "You are a Huns, and the Huns are extremely evil!" ”
As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Zhao Kuo, who was standing on the other side, frowned slightly.
As a son of a high-ranking official, of course, Zhao Kuo could not have the experience of being stationed at the border all the year round like Li Mu, and it was impossible for many brothers to die at the hands of the Huns, so Zhao Kuo actually did not have much hatred for the Huns.
In Zhao Kuo's view, the Xiongnu are the same as the nomads such as Linhu, Lou Fu, and Donghu, and belong to the weak chickens that Zhao Guo can beat if he wants.
Who would hate a weak chicken who can be beaten whenever he wants?
Considering that Li Mu had defeated the Huns many times, Zhao Kuo was even more incomprehensible to Li Mu's behavior.
However, after experiencing the tempering of several wars, Zhao Kuo, who has been hovering between life and death many times, has obviously calmed down a lot, and his temperament that he likes to argue with others has long been worn out, so he just frowned, and then he didn't make any moves.
After all, the decision is still up to the king, and if the king does not agree to the rescue, then there is no need to say it; If the king agrees to the rescue, then why should Zhao Kuo be a villain in vain and ruin his image in Li Mu's heart out of thin air?
After all, Li Mu is now the main general, and Zhao Kuo is just a deputy general.
As for Chen Hao, the county guard of Yanmen County on the side, he had already made up his mind to act as a wooden man, standing there straight and motionless, like a sculpture.
Zhao Dan pondered for a long time and asked, "How many pursuers are there in the Evil King?" ”
Xianshan's body shook when he heard this, and his face showed a look of hope, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the king, the pursuers of the evil king have a total of 10,000 horsemen and 5,000 cavalry. ”
This is also the norm of the Hun cavalry, that is, the strength of the army depends on blowing.
The "10,000 horsemen" of 10,000 people are actually only five or six thousand people, and only the 10,000 horsemen under his command can reach the establishment of seven or eight thousand people, and as for the 10,000 horsemen of the whole 10,000 people, they do not exist on the desert plateau at present.
If there are 10,000 cavalry, of course you have to form 20,000 cavalry!
It can be seen from this that in fact, in history, the million-strong army and the whipping and cutting off the flow of these are probably mostly bragging, mainly because the number of troops is more, and the banners are naturally more, and it seems that the psychological pressure on the enemy is also greater.
"Five thousand?" Zhao Dan bowed slightly, feeling that this number was not very much.
After all, there are a full 5,000 cavalry around Zhao Dan now.
So Zhao Dan turned his head to look at Chen Hao, the Taishou of Yanmen County on the side: "Chen Hao, how many soldiers and horses can you mobilize now?" The outnumbered only need cavalry. ”
Chen Hao hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, if it is within one day, you can mobilize 2,000 cavalry." If it is three days, 5,000 cavalry can be mobilized. ”
Zhao Dan waved his hand and interrupted Chen Hao's words: "In this way, you will hold the widow's talisman and immediately mobilize the cavalry, and after two hours, the widow will personally lead the troops to the north, and will meet this evil king for a while!" ”
As soon as Zhao Dan said this, Xian Shan was overjoyed in his heart.
You must know that in the big battle between the Xiongnu and Zhao two years ago, Xianshan was also one of the participants, so Xianshan's heart knew very well how terrible Zhao's cavalry was.
In Xianshan's opinion, as long as the cavalry of Zhao State is willing to attack, then the evil king will definitely be defeated!
But on the other side, as soon as Chen Hao, Li Mu and Zhao Kuo heard Zhao Dan's words, they were immediately frightened and admonished in unison.
"King, this must not be done!"
"The king only needs to sit in Yuanyang and wait for the return of his ministers, so why risk it?"
"King, please think again!"
Zhao Dan looked at the three courtiers in front of him who were sweating profusely because they were scared, and couldn't help laughing.
"Why, Li Mu, you don't have confidence in defeating the Huns?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "No, but the king, now that the Huns are menacing, how can the king's daughter be so rash to the front line?" Besides, what this Xiongnu Xianshan said may not be the truth, if he deliberately concealed the number, wouldn't it be ......"
Zhao Dan laughed and stretched out his hand to stop Li Mu's words: "General Li Mu, the widow has heard you say that if you have these 5,000 cavalry in hand, even if 20,000 Huns are in front, you will have nothing to fear!" That should be true, right? ”
Li Muleng paused for a moment, then nodded.
Zhao Dan continued: "Then do you think the Huns will send 20,000 cavalry south in the summer? ”
Li Mu was speechless.
20,000 Hun cavalry went south in the summer? It's unscientific to think about it.
Zhao Dan's gaze gradually sharpened: "In this case, now that the widow has given you 7,000 cavalry, what else do you have to worry about?" Could it be that you can only brag in front of the widow, but you can't let the widow see with his own eyes the divine power of you commanding thousands of troops and horses to pacify the Huns? ”
Li Mu was told by Zhao Dan that he didn't know what to do, so he could only say: "The minister doesn't dare to bully the king!" ”
Zhao Dan waved his hand: "Very good." Then they all disperse, and set out in two hours!
