Shi Min's army went all the way to the west, because he was afraid of variables with the Qiang people, so the marching speed was not fast, and he walked for more than half a month in a row, and he never entered the boundary of Hexi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Have the people sent by Lord Liu to deliver letters to the Qiang and Di tribes come back?" Shi Min looked at the map and asked Zhang Mufeng beside him.

"Back to the major general, not yet!"

"Don't go any further! The person who sent the letter didn't come back, we don't know what the other party's attitude is now, so we rushed in, in case people think that we are here to fight, then there is no argument! ”

"So we're going to wait here?"

"Yes, just wait here!" Shi Min put down the map and said to Zhang Mufeng: "But it's not empty, we have other things!" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Mufeng asked.

"We have arrived at the border of Zhao, and further west is the territory of the Qiang people, to be honest, the Qiang people don't need to worry, after all, the wood is in our hands, and we are here to negotiate peace. What I'm really worried about is the Huns in the north! ”

Zhang Mufeng nodded as if he didn't understand.

Shi Min pondered for a moment, and then instructed Zhang Mufeng: "For the sake of prudence, pass on my order to send fifty brothers to the north to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the Huns, a team of five people, within five days, whether they are found or not, they must return here!" ”

"Obedience!"

After Zhang Mufeng finished speaking, he quickly walked away and went to convey Shi Min's military order.

It didn't take long for fifty wolf riders to gallop out of the camp, Liu Yuanzhi heard the sound of horses' hooves, and hurriedly ran out of the tent, saw dozens of fast horses leaving the dust, and asked his subordinates loudly: "What are these people doing?" ”

"Back to the adult, they said that Min Gongzi had a task assignment, and the other villains didn't know!"

When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, he was a little unhappy, and thought: This official is fully responsible for the matter of this envoy to Hexi, and Shi Min actually crossed himself and sent his subordinates to carry out activities privately. Thinking of this, Liu Yuanzhi couldn't help but have some opinions about Shi Min.

"Where is Min Gongzi?" Liu Yuanzhi asked coldly.

"It should be in your tent!"

Liu Yuanzhi looked at Shi Min's tent, and there were indeed two people guarding outside, so he strode over.

Walking outside the camp tent, Liu Yuanzhi wanted to go in, but he didn't expect the two soldiers at the door to stop Liu Yuanzhi directly.

"What are you two doing here? Don't you know this official! ”

"The general's tent! No one is allowed to trespass! Violators will be killed! Shi Min's subordinates replied without hesitation.

Liu Yuanzhi had already heard that Shi Min's army was like his father, and he was very strict, although he was a little annoyed at this time, he still held his heart and said to Shi Min's people: "If you are tired of reporting, just say ......"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Min in the camp tent probably heard the movement, opened the curtain and walked out.

"Lord Liu, are you looking for me?" Shi Min said, waving his hand to the two subordinates, signaling for release.

Seeing Shi Min come out, Liu Yuanzhi asked directly: "Young Master Min, what did you just send your subordinates out for?" ”

Seeing that Liu Yuanzhi came up and directly asked the teacher to ask for the guilt, Shi Min was not angry, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, I am about to send someone to inform you, come and come, please inside, let me talk to you in detail." ”

Shi Min said, stepped forward and pulled Liu Yuanzhi out.

The two came to a high slope, climbed high and looked into the distance, Shi Min pointed to a small river not far away, and said: "Lord Liu, after crossing that river, it is the boundary of the Qiang people, and the two-day journey to the north is the range of activities of the Huns. ”

"Of course I do." Liu Yuanzhi glanced at Shi Min and said, "It is estimated that the person who delivered the letter in the past two days is about to come back, if you send someone out at this time, if you encounter the Qiang people, it may cause unnecessary trouble!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the people I sent out are not going for the Qiang people." Shi Min said, pointed to the north, and said to Liu Yuanzhi: "Don't forget, my lord, the Qiang people are at most a wild dog, and the Huns are tigers and wolves!" ”

"What to do with the Huns? Even if it's a war, those dozens of people won't be used, right? ”

Shi Min waved his hand and asked rhetorically: "Lord Liu, believe it or not, now the Huns must have known that Zhao Guo is going to send back to Mudu, and there is also the matter of our envoy to the Qiang people." If you were a Xiongnu Shan Yu, would you sit on the Zhao State and form an alliance with the Qiang people? ”

"Naturally not!" Liu Yuanzhi is indeed not a fool, of course he understands that the Huns will cause trouble.

"If that's the case, how can I not be prepared? Those people who have just been sent out are going north to spy on the movements of the Huns, in case the Huns have any plans to go south, we can react as soon as possible! After all, after this step is taken, it will not be our Zhao country's territory! Shi Min said, holding the hilt of the knife, looking at the undulating mountains in the north, and said: "Lord Liu, I don't want to be alarmist, but I have to tell you what I think about below, this time we go to subdue the two major tribes in Hexi, it is by no means a simple errand. ”

Although Liu Yuanzhi is very smart, he is only a civil official after all, and he has never been in battle to kill the enemy, and when he heard Shi Min say this, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and this kind of fear is an innate instinct of people, not cowardice in the real sense.

Liu Yuanzhi said righteously: "Master Min, I was ordered to send an envoy to Hexi this time, and I have made up my mind to die for a lifetime!" As long as the Qiang and Qiang clans can be subdued, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Liu will never take half a step back! ”

Shi Min arched his hand and responded: "Lord Liu is loyal, Shi Min admires, but to do what His Majesty ordered, the two of us still need to work together, and be careful in everything!" ”

Liu Yuanzhi took half a step back, bent over, and said: "Master Min, I admire your foresight very much, but since we want to work together, I think that if we take action in the future, you and I should also inform each other." ”

Shi Min responded politely: "What Lord Liu said is that Shi Min is young and vigorous and inconsiderate, I hope your lord will forgive me!" ”

"Childe is polite, come on, come on, I want to hear what plans and arrangements Childe has for the deployment in the future, I don't know if Childe is willing to teach a lesson or two."

Shi Min smiled and nodded, and while walking with Liu Yuanzhi, he said: "Shi Min has just arrived, and he can't talk about teaching, but this Qiang and Di people are all faithless and unrighteous races, and if they want to subdue them, I think that in addition to Lord Liu's three-inch tongue, I also need my wolf captain's iron horse steel knife!" But if we encounter the Huns on the border of Hexi, the Qiang and Di tribes will definitely not help, they will only watch the fire from the other side. It's in their nature to be opportunistic, because they're wall-to-wall grass in the first place! Therefore, if you want to subdue them, you must use the power of thunder to crush their hearts and make them have a deep fear of Zhao Guo! In this way, they will not dare to offend! It only takes a few years, and when the soldiers of Zhao Guo are strong and strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, there is no need to worry about these jumping clowns, and they can all be conquered! ”

Liu Yuanzhi looked at the young man in front of him, his heart was full of admiration, and he couldn't help but admire: "The son is young, and he can have such foresight, which really makes Liu admire." What Gongzi just said is also His Majesty's current policy of governing the country, with the current strength of our Zhao State, we can't deal with this embattled situation, so we can only attack from afar, wait for the opportunity, and then break through each one. ”

"Don't tell you the truth, my wolf lieutenant and I very much hope that the Huns can go south." Shi Min said to Liu Yuanzhi while rubbing his saber.

Liu Yuanzhi was a little surprised and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"I have already said that in addition to the eloquence of the adults, we also need iron horses and steel swords, and the Huns will definitely try their best to sabotage our plans, so as long as the Huns dare to come, my brothers and I will want them to bleed! Only by letting the Qiang and Di clans understand who is the real strong will they bow down to their subordinates! ”

"But Childe, you also said just now, this place is only two days away from the border of the Huns, and we only have more than 700 people in total, if the Hun army attacks, how can we deal with it?"

"Don't worry, the Huns don't dare to send a large group of people over, after all, after crossing this river, it is the territory of the Qiang people, if the Huns are pressed by a large army, it is equivalent to a war against the Qiang people, do you think the Qiang people can agree? So according to my estimate, if the Huns come to wreak havoc, there will be one or two thousand people at most! ”
