Just as Zhao Kuo was rushing all the way to the west, Li Mu and the main force of his border cavalry corps were not idle.

"Wan Sheng!" Yiqu Sheng held the riding spear in his hand high, and the tip of the spear also carried the head of a dead Hun commander.

At Yiqusheng's side, thousands of mounted cavalrymen were proudly and proudly raising their sabers and riding spears in their hands, celebrating such a victory.

Contrary to Zhao Kuo, the main force of the border cavalry corps led by Li Mu was directed at the Huns from the beginning.

During this month, Li Mu led his 40,000 cavalry to sweep almost the northern half of the Western Regions, completely uprooting most of the Xiongnu forces.

At this moment, they had just finished a great battle and wiped out a force of 5,000 Huns and 10,000 horsemen.

Although the Huns like to use 10,000 cavalry as a unit, this does not mean that the Xiongnu's 10,000 cavalry is enough to have 10,000 cavalry.

Even in the most prosperous period of history, when the Maudun Shan Yu period was at its peak, the number of 10,000 horsemen under the direct command of Yu alone was usually only about 8,000 to 9,000, while some of the larger tribes had 7,000 to 8,000 horsemen, and the smaller and most common 10,000 horsemen were usually 6,000.

"This is the right captain of the Huns?" Li Mu looked at the head that was being picked up by Yi Qusheng at the tip of the gun not far in front of him, and his face couldn't help but be a little strange.

Since Uwei Shan Yu unified the Xiongnu, this ambitious Shan Yu has carried out a drastic reorganization of the Xiongnu official system.

As Shan Yu, Uwei was naturally the supreme leader and military commander of the Xiongnu.

Under Shan Yu is the left and right Xian Wang, the Xiongnu to the left as the respect, so the Zuo Xian King by the current Xiongnu prince (honorific name "Tu Qi") as the position.

Under the left and right virtuous kings, there is the left and right Gu Li kings, and then there is this left and right captain.

In other words, Li Mu actually used only one encounter to eliminate a right captain who was also a head and face in the Xiongnu?

"It seems that the Huns are really weak." Li Mu shook his head, his face couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

These Huns are inevitably too unbeaten.

Just a line of armored cavalry charged, the Hun cavalry in front of them was completely defeated, and the next thing needed was a long escape and pursuit.

What made Li Mu a little puzzled was, where did the main force of the Huns go?

Obviously, Bersius kept saying that the Huns were in the Western Regions, but after the two months of conquest, all the troops fought were small units of some Huns, and the real main force of the Huns was still missing.

Suddenly, Li Mu felt something and looked in a certain direction behind him.

I saw a puff of smoke and dust, and then a dozen carriages stopped not far away.

Almost at the moment when the carriage had just stopped and not yet stopped, more than a dozen figures hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and came in the direction where Li Mu was.

Li Mu's gaze froze slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

These people are none other than the rich people in Li Mu's heart.

The merchants hurriedly rushed to Li Mu's face, couldn't wait to salute Li Mu, and then hurriedly said: "I heard that the Metropolitan Governor captured a lot of Hun soldiers? ”

Li Mu smiled and stretched out his hand and pointed ahead: "Seeing is believing." ”

The merchants turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw groups of Hun cavalry with their hands raised, dejectedly escorted by the soldiers of the Zhao army, heading not far away.

A rough count shows that the number of people is at least more than 1,000 or 2,000.

The businessmen looked at each other, and some of them couldn't help muttering: "It seems to be a little little......"

When Li Mu heard this, his cheeks couldn't help twitching slightly.

What about this friend, when the Huns are cabbage?

Li Mu coughed and looked at a middle-aged man beside him.

According to his own introduction, this middle-aged man is an "auctioneer", and his rate belongs to the Shaofu family.

Although the name sounds somewhat odd, it must be admitted that this guy is quite useful.

I saw that the auctioneer coughed heavily, attracting everyone's attention, and then said in a loud voice: "Everyone, two thousand strong Hun slaves are now waiting for you to claim them!" As long as the price is right, these slaves will be the best labor in the ranch! Of course, with a little more training, they will become the most qualified dead soldiers! Also, with so many Hun war horses, aren't you tempted? ”

"The price? Rest assured, the price is negotiable. Come on, let's talk about ......"

Soon, the middle-aged auctioneer took aside a group of eager merchants.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, an officer of the Zhao State who looked ordinary appeared in front of Li Mu and saluted Li Mu: "Governor." ”

Li Mu looked at the officer in front of him, recognized that the other party was the master of torture in his army, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The officer of Zhao said in a low voice: "Back to the Governor of Dadu, I have already asked about the location of the Xiongnu royal court." ”

Li Mu perked up and said busily: "Where is it?" ”

For Li Mu, the most critical point of this action was actually to find the royal court of the Huns.

The royal court of the Huns is constantly moving with Uwei Danyu, so if you find the royal court of the Huns, it is equivalent to finding the new leader of the Huns, Uwei Danyu.

As long as the Xiongnu court is defeated, then the scourge of the Huns will naturally be solved.

The Hu Yiwei paused and said, "Can you ask the Metropolitan Governor to take a look at the map?" ”

Li Mu ordered people to take out the map, and then spread it out on the spot, and after squinting his eyes and looking back and forth on the map, the Hu Yiwei finally landed his finger on one of the places with great certainty: "Governor, please see, this place is where the Xiongnu royal court is located." According to the confession of several commanders under the command of the Grand Captain, this year, the Xiongnu Uwei Shan Yu led the people of the royal court to spend the winter here. ”

Li Mu stared at it for a while, and whispered a name out of his mouth: "And Quhai...... It's not very far, it seems. ”

In this era, people usually like to call some large lakes "sea", just as Qinghai Lake in later generations is now called the West Sea by the Zhao people, this large lake called Hequ Lake, it has a name called "Zhaisang Lake" in later generations.

Li Mu thought about it a little and found that it would take about ten days to go to the sea from where he was currently located.

Li Mu raised his head and asked, "Does the Xiongnu royal court know the news of our army's attack?" ”

Hu Yiwei replied: "Uwei Shan Yu already knows, and asked all the Xiongnu troops to withdraw from the Western Regions and assemble in the sea of Qiquhai. This Xiongnu 10,000 cavalry also met our army by chance when they retreated to Chaohequhai. ”

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the auctioneer behind him who was still bustling with many merchants, and quickly issued a new order.

"Alright, let's camp and rest. Tomorrow morning, the whole army will set out and go straight to the sea! ”
