Hetao County, Zhenbei City.

This is a city that has just been established, in fact, until this moment, this so-called Zhenbei City has only just started construction for half a month, and the construction of the city wall has barely been completed.

For any city of this era, the construction of the city walls must be put first.

With tall walls, the people of the city have a sense of security.

A sense of security is extremely important to anyone.

But cities are not the only ones that can give people a sense of security, and the military can do the same.

This is especially true when the city has a full 20,000 troops in its ranks.

10,000 Zhao cavalry was enough to sweep all the nomads in the entire Hetao, and 20,000 Zhao cavalry stationed here was enough for all the Linhu slaves in the city to obediently do heavy hard work, and they did not dare to complain under the whips and sticks of the overseers.

Fortunately, to the relief of these coolies, such days are finally coming to an end.

In the early morning of this day, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the north of the town.

The signs of this thousands of troops rising were so amazing that the smoke and dust in the sky began to drift into the north of the town, and the earth kept shaking like an earthquake.

It lasted for half an hour, and when the overseers began to shout again for the slaves to continue their work, the slaves who had climbed to the top of the city looked far away, only to find that the cavalry army that had recently been stationed outside the northern part of the town had gone to the end of the horizon with billowing smoke and dust.

As the supreme commander of this cavalry, Li Mu's heart was on fire.

Yes, although this is not the first time that Li Mu has independently commanded a large army, but this time the target of Li Mu's attack is not those Lin Hu barbarians who are not qualified opponents for Li Mu at all, but the Qin State, which was the most powerful country in the world three years ago!

According to Zhao Dan's request, Li Mu will lead the 20,000 Zhao cavalry to rush south to give the Qin people a big surprise!

It is no exaggeration to say that this army led by Li Mu definitely belongs to the kind of existence that is highly expected and can change the situation of the battle!

It is precisely because of this that Li Mu is not only grateful to Pang Xuan who vigorously recommended him, but also extremely admired Zhao Dan, the king who can boldly use him.

Death for a confidant!

As a courtier, isn't what I hope most is to be like Zhao Dan, so that the courtiers can have a good king who can play the stage to the fullest?

Li Mu secretly made up his mind that this time he must use a brilliant victory to repay General Pang Xuan's kindness and the king's kindness!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu couldn't help but subconsciously clamp the horse's belly, and said to the guards around him: "Pass the order, the whole army will speed up, and you must reach Fushi before sunset!" ”

The name of the place sounds like it is somewhat related to women, but it is not.

The origin of this name actually comes from a man, a man whose identity is relatively noble.

After the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed by King Zhao Wuling, the last prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, Fu Shi, was exiled here by King Zhao Wuling, and this place got its name from this.

Since it is a place of exile, and it is so close to the territory of the original Linhu people, it is obviously a fool's dream to make a decent city here.

Whether it is a city or a country, the most important prerequisite for prosperity is peace.

Without peace, there can be no development.

In fact, not long after the prince was banished here, it became the territory of the Qin people.

Prince Fushi and his people disappeared without a trace when the Qin people came here, and the Qin people, who became the masters of this place, unceremoniously built the Great Wall here, and set up a beacon tower on the mountain outside the small city of Fushi.

At dusk that day, smoke suddenly rose from the beacon tower outside the small city of Fushi.

Soon, one beacon after another was lit up, and under the twilight sky, the fire and smoke on the beacon tower were extremely eye-catching, all the way to the south.

At most, tomorrow morning, the city of Xianyang will get news of an invasion from the north.

Li Mu grabbed the reins of the horse, and let the horse, which was a little tired and sweaty from galloping for a day, slowly stop, and looked coldly at the beacon in front of him.

As a veteran who had served in the Gaoque Fortress for several years, Li Mu certainly knew what it meant to light up the beacon tower.

But he didn't care.

The corners of the young General Zhao's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

"How can a mere dead city wall stop the footsteps of the army of my Zhao Kingdom? Tell me that tonight I will camp in the city of Fushi! There is no Qin army left in the city! ”

Fushi was nothing more than a small city, so small that only a hundred Qin soldiers were stationed here, and a mere hundred defenders obviously did not pose any problem for an army of 20,000.

The siege lasted only two quarters of an hour, and then after another tea time, Li Mu entered the small city of Fushi surrounded by a group of guards.

Looking at the eighty-nine headless corpses of the Qin army and the eight captives in front of him, Li Mu's face was not very good-looking.

"What about the other four?"

A Zhao State 2500 lord on the side replied with a smile: "General, Xu is dissatisfied with the establishment of this Qin army. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Mu glared fiercely at the two or five hundred lords who were in charge of attacking the city, and his voice was even a little colder than the wind on this spring night: "No matter what method this general uses, you must find out the remaining three people!" ”

An hour and a half later, three bloody human heads were mentioned in front of Li Mu.

"Very well, where did you find it?"

"There is a cave near the beacon tower......"

"Well done." Li Mu patted the tired two or five hundred lords in front of him, who were already a little reluctant to stand, and glanced at all the middle and senior generals in front of him with a sharp gaze:

"With the Great Wall defense line, it is impossible to hide the news of the entry of our army from the Qin people. But if he can, General Ben hopes that the people of the Qin State will know the number of our troops and horses as soon as possible! As long as the people of the Qin State do not know our number, then they will definitely make a wrong judgment! Therefore, under the conditions of possibility, kill every Qin State person standing in front of you! ”

In his letter, the king personally told the general that if this battle was won, then the Zhao kingdom would soar into the sky. If this battle is defeated, perhaps the Zhao State will repeat the mistakes of the Qin State! Therefore, General Ben is here today to tell you that anyone who does not respect military orders will be dealt with by military law! You get it! ”

A brief silence was followed by a neat response.

"No!"

"Very good, since that's the case, then disbanded and rested, and gather tomorrow morning to continue south!"
