Just when Duan Ganzi was busy leading the queen and crown prince of Wei, as well as many Wei ministers, military princes, and so on, to make a big move, thousands of miles away on the Longdong Plateau, there was also the ruler of another country who was leading his people to move their homes.

"Do you really want to abandon the city?" Yi Qusheng looked at Li Mu beside him, his face full of pleading.

Now Yiqusheng has a crown on his head, but this kind of crown is not the type with a crown in the Chinese countries, but looks like a yellow headband.

Li Mu snorted and said to Yi Qusheng: "All the soldiers in your army are cavalry, do you want to count on these 20,000 cavalry to defend the city to resist the attack of the 100,000 troops of the Qin people?" If that's the case, I'll remember to incense you next year. ”

Yiqu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled very reluctantly, and said to Li Mu: "Aren't you a new generation of Mesozoic generals who are famous in Zhao Guo, why don't you even have such a way?" ”

Li Mu snorted and said to Yi Qusheng: "Don't say it's a general, even if it's a god of war, you have to act according to the laws of war, if you use cavalry to defend the city and fight against the law, this kind of behavior is no different from looking for death." ”

Yiqu Sheng sighed, with a little sad look on his face: "Poor, the palace city that I just built half of was abandoned like this. ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng, and there was an undisguised look of disdain on his face: "I heard that you have used all the treasures you stole from those Wusun people, Yueshi and Huns to build your palace city?" ”

Yiqu Sheng laughed and said, "That's natural, otherwise, how would others know that this king is a rich man?" This king can't be like you Chinese people, burying these treasures in the ground for hundreds of years and not being able to take them out to meet people. ”

Li Mu sighed and said to Yiqu Sheng: "If you can use part of these treasures to reward your warriors, part of it to buy food, and the last part to improve the lives of the people in Yiqu Kingdom, then maybe I can really try to hold on to Yiqu City." ”

"How is that possible?" Yiqusheng was obviously stung by Li Mu's words, and shouted a little angrily: "They have all been divided into the part they should have, and the remaining part naturally belongs to me, the king, otherwise, if this king divides everything, then what does it mean for me to be the king?" ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng, and had no intention of continuing to speak.

In front of Li Mu and Yi Qu Sheng, thousands of people from the Ming Qu Kingdom were leaving the city in a steady stream and heading to the northwest.

This is the third day of the relocation operation, and it is expected that by this evening, all the residents of Yiqu City will leave, leaving a truly empty city here for the Qin people.

To sort out these things at the moment, we have to start from last year.

During last year's tentative offensive against the Hexi Corridor, because Li Mu suddenly had to go south to participate in the battle against the Qin State, Yiqu Sheng could only lead his 10,000 cavalry to continue to search for prey between Helan Mountain and Qilian Mountain.

It must be said that Yiqu Sheng's luck is obviously very good, or the luck of the Xiongnu and Wusun people is too bad, not only did they not catch the trace of Yiqu Sheng, but they were relatively weak Yiqu Sheng seized a few opportunities and fought several big victories.

As a result, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep fell into the hands of Yiqusheng, and at the same time, Yiqusheng also obtained a large number of slaves and prisoners of war, and of course, a large number of indispensable gold, silver, jewelry and other booty.

It is precisely because of this that Yiqu Sheng left this grassland when winter was coming, returned to Yiqu City with many of his achievements, and began the expansion of Yiqu City.

Because Yiqu City had been a proton in Xianyang for a while since he was a child, he also witnessed the prosperity of Xianyang City, which made Yiqu Sheng yearn for it very much.

Of course, at this time, Xianyang City was still almost the same as Handan, Linzi, Taoyi, Daliang and other big cities in the Central Plains, and at best it could only be regarded as a second-tier city in the Warring States Period.

But it is such a second-tier city, and it is also very, very shocking for Yiqusheng, a grassland bun.

If those are just dusty memories, then Yiqusheng took a trip to Handan before that year and witnessed the prosperity of Handan and how high-end the palace city of Handan was, and Yiqusheng was completely shocked.

It is precisely because of this that after Yiqu Sheng returned to Yiqu City, he immediately began the construction and expansion of his own project without saying a word.

Yiqu Sheng is also a self-aware person, he feels that building a city like Handan is estimated to be hopeless in this life, if he can, Yi Qu Sheng hopes to make his Yiqu City as imposing as Xianyang City.

Although Yi Qusheng's heart is also very clear, dreams like this can't be realized in a moment and a half, but people always have to have a dream, don't they?

At least for now, Yi Qusheng himself still enjoys the process of fighting for this dream.

Normally, expansions like this should be done after the spring begins.

But Yiqu Sheng is different, he has a lot of prisoners of war and slaves in his hands, and he still starts work in winter, anyway, it doesn't matter how many people die, and if he dies more, he can save some food, right?

So after three full months of winter, the renovation of the royal palace in Yiqu City was on track and began to look quite large.

But it was at this time that Yiqu Cheng was a little distressed to find that because his requirements were really a bit high, the money he had obtained in last year's campaign had begun to be insufficient.

After all, for the people of the grassland, cattle and sheep are the real property, and valuable but meaningless things such as gold, silver and jewelry can only be snatched from the nobles on the grassland, and the commoners have nothing at all.

So, Yiqu Sheng, who was short of money again, asked people to find Li Mu, and prepared to go north with Li Mu again to do a big job in the Hexi Corridor, grab some treasures, and continue to build a golden and brilliant Yiqu City.

From Li Mu's own point of view, because of Li Mu's special status, the headquarters of Zhao State will send a copy to Li Mu when making any decision.

Therefore, Li Mu knew very well in his heart that it was likely that within this year, there should be no other war in Zhao except for the war against Wei in the direction of the Central Plains.

In this way, the Zhao State Border Cavalry Legion led by Li Mu will naturally be idle.

In terms of Li Mu's character, being idle does not mean that he has to be idle, on the contrary, the northern economic envoy of Zhao State took it for granted that he once again picked up his strategic plan for the Hexi Corridor of "flying with two wings".

Under such circumstances, Li Mu and Yi Qusheng can be said to hit it off.

So Li Mu immediately rushed to Yiqu City, ready to discuss with Yiqu Sheng how to conquer the Hexi Corridor next.

But Li Mu had just arrived in Yiqu City, and another news came at the same time.

Obviously, the people who want to take advantage of the fact that the main force of Zhao State is busy fighting in the Central Plains and do something are not only Yiqu Sheng and Li Mu, but also the people of Qin State are also eyeing this opportunity, and feel that it is time to use such an opportunity to kill Yiqu State and recover this land that has not long been independent.

As a result, Yiqu Sheng's original plan to continue attacking Hexi had to be stillborn, and the young Yiqu State had to devote all his energy to dealing with this attack by the Qin people, after all, it was very likely that it was related to the life and death of the Yiqu State.

If the people of the Qin State can destroy the Yiqu Kingdom once, then it is possible to destroy the Yiqu Kingdom a second time, which is an undoubted thing.

In terms of Yiqu Sheng's current strength, his Yiqu Kingdom is obviously far from being the opponent of the behemoth of Qin State.

Yi Qusheng himself naturally knew this, so he naturally put the treasure on Li Mu's body.

Regarding Li Mu's talent, Yiqusheng can be said to know it well and has no doubts.

To a certain extent, the Yiqu Kingdom has been able to develop to this point, and Li Mu's influence is actually very great.

If it weren't for Li Mu's three times to the south and defeat the Qin State, the Qin State would not have been forced to recognize the independence of the Yiqu State, and if it weren't for the fact that Yiqu Sheng had been following Li Mu's side to fight and learned a lot of things, the Yiqu cavalry might not have been able to go back and forth on the prairie last year, ignoring the two major tribes of Wusun and the Xiongnu.

What's more, behind Li Mu, there is also a super power that is so powerful that the whole world trembles - Zhao Guo!

After seeing the scene of everyone, including the monarch of Qin Kingdom, respectfully saluting Zhao Dan, Yiqu Sheng deeply understood one thing, that is, as long as he hugged Zhao Guo's thigh, no country would hurt himself and Yiqu Guo!

However, to Yiqusheng's disappointment, when he asked Li Mu to hope for assistance from the cavalry of Zhao State, he was rejected by Li Mu very cleanly.

"The Qin State is now an ally of our Zhao State, and before I get the Tiger Talisman from the Great King, I can't mobilize troops and horses to fight against the Qin State without authorization."

After a pause, Li Mu continued: "However, I have already sent an urgent messenger to Handan, and I should be able to get a reply in about ten days at most." You can rest assured, the king will not agree to me sending troops south to rescue the Yiqu Kingdom. ”

Yi Qusheng opened his mouth wide, and he was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he couldn't help but shout: "What did you say? Do you say that the king of your Zhao Kingdom will definitely not send troops to rescue this king and the Yiqu Kingdom? ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng with the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children, and then said: "That's nature, do you want me to tell you?" At least for now, Zhao Guo has no reason or excuse to turn his face with Qin State. ”

It was precisely because of this that under Li Mu's suggestion, Yiqu City had to choose a strategic retreat.

For such a result, Yiqu Sheng is undoubtedly very congested.

But fortunately, Li Mu is also a very comforting guy, so he continued to say to Yiqu Sheng: "Don't worry, although from the perspective of strength on paper, your Yiqu Kingdom is completely a bunch of scum, and if you want to defeat the Qin State, there is no chance at all." But as long as I am here, at least in this battle, the people of the Qin State should not take much advantage. ”

Yiqucheng smiled all over his face, responded a few times, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In other words, Li Mu's words are not praising Yiqu Sheng and Yiqu Country at all, right?

But Li Mu is not wrong about one thing, that is, at this time, Yiqu Sheng really has no choice, and he must press the fate of himself and the entire Yiqu Country on Li Mu.

Therefore, Yiqu Sheng couldn't help but say to Li Mu: "Now that the move is almost done, what should I do next?" ”

The corners of Li Mu's mouth showed a mysterious smile.

"It's time for the Qin State to taste the power of guerrilla warfare."
