Chapter Forty-Seven: Sending Troops to the West

"Ahh An exclamation sounded, coming from the mouths of the generals.

Looking at the generals like that, they were all surprised and unbelievable, as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights.

Although Li Mu is extraordinary, he shines in this battle, and he has won the trust of the generals, believing that he can do a good job of the tasks assigned by Qin Yiren. It's just that he is a Zhao person after all, although the Zhao State has been destroyed and King Zhao Xiaocheng has surrendered, Li Mu is still a Zhao Chen, not a person from the Qin State. Qin Yiren's handing over such a heavy task to Li Mu was really unexpected, and it was unthinkable, and it would be impossible for the generals not to be shocked.

Huang Shigong and Wei Yu glanced at each other, greatly appreciative, and bowed slightly. They were deeply impressed by Qin Yiren's move, and among all of them, Li Mu was the most suitable for this matter.

This is a double win, not only to find a suitable general for this task, but also to pull Li Mu into the camp of the Qin State and let him serve the Qin State.

The most surprised person was Li Mu, I saw that he opened his mouth wide and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it, only a shocked face. Although he had already shown his loyalty to Qin Yiren and wanted to follow Qin Yiren, he couldn't help but be surprised that Qin Yiren wanted him to be an official of the Qin State, and that King Qin Zhao had to pass. If Qin Yiren and him were like Huangshi Gong and Wei Yu, who had no official position and were just Qin Yiren's personal staff, Li Mu would not hesitate and would gladly agree.

Sima Shang was also shocked, thinking that he had misheard.

"Childe, isn't that appropriate?" It took Li Mu a long time to react, and said: "Gongzi entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, Li Mu is grateful, but Li Mu is a Zhao person after all......"

Qin Yiren waved his right hand to stop Li Mu from continuing and took over the conversation. Said: "Run the land of the Loop." It's a matter of the world's safety. It is about the future of China, there is no difference between Qin and Zhao, as long as talent and loyalty to Huaxia. You, Li Mu, are fully capable of this, so it's decided! ”

The operation of the Hetao is to prepare for the defeat of the Xiongnu in the future, which is related to the future of China, and should be hated by the same enemy, regardless of country. Qin Yiren's words went to the hearts of the generals, and the generals nodded slightly. Big is in favor.

"Childe, but King Qin ......" Li Mu was very moved, but he also knew that this matter had to be approved by King Qin Zhao.

"Li Mu, you don't have to worry about this." Qin Yiren was full of confidence and said: "Some people say that Great Qin is rich and Qin is invincible in the world, these are true, but they are not what makes Great Qin the proudest, do you know what Great Qin is most proud of?" ”

This question really stopped Li Mu. Li Mu opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

The wealth of the Qin State and the good fighting of the Qin State are famous all over the world. This is not what Qin is most proud of, so what is what Qin is most proud of? This question not only stumped Li Mu, but also the generals.

"Daqin's greatest pride is the use of talents in an eclectic manner!" Qin Yiren gave the answer.

"Good! Pick! A cheer rang out, coming from the mouths of the generals.

They were not only applauding, but also clapping their hands lightly, with a look of excitement.

Qin Guo's recruitment and reuse of talents is really worthy of the word "eclectic". Most of the talents reused by the Qin State were unsatisfactory in Shandong, not taken seriously, and some even almost died, but when they arrived in the Qin State, they were born out of thin air, dominating the world, and it was difficult to meet opponents. Famous ministers such as Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui are all the same.

"You Li Mujiu is in the north, you are familiar with the situation in the north, and you have extraordinary talents, such a talent is exactly the talent that Daqin needs the most, the eldest father will not only approve it, but also reuse you, you can rest assured." Qin Yiren rushed at Li Mudao.

"This ......" Li Mu was very moved, tears flashed in the tiger's eyes, but he was still a little hesitant.

A Zhao person, Yu Qinguo has neither merit nor qualifications, and was suddenly entrusted with a heavy task, Li Mu could not help but hesitate.

"Li Mu, if you look at the prime minister used by Daqin, you will know that Shang Ying was originally a guard, and he originally wanted to be in Wei, and there was a matter of 'recommending the virtuous and killing the virtuous', but when he arrived in Daqin, he was reused by the filial piety. Zhang Yi was originally a Wei person, he was not reused in Shandong, and he was almost killed in Chu State. Qin Yiren smiled at Li Mu and said, "If the matter of Shangjun Zhang Yi is a little far away, then, the current Prime Minister Fan Sui, an authentic Wei person, was wronged and was almost killed by Wei Qi, a traitor. When he arrived in the Qin State, he was worshiped as the prime minister by his eldest father and entrusted with important tasks. ”

The generals nodded heavily, proud of this.

The hesitation on Li Mu's face suddenly disappeared.

"Shang Jun, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui, before they entered Qin, they didn't have the size of Qin, but Daqin could reuse it. Although you Li Mu is not a Qin person, but you are Yu Daqin, and you have great achievements in the world, if Daqin can't reuse a great talent like you, it will be blind! Qin Yiren finally said loudly.

"Gongzi Xie!" Li Mu knelt on one knee, Shuangqin Yiren hugged his fists, and said loudly: "Li Mu has a liver and brain, and he will not hesitate to do it!" ”

The tone is not high, but it is loud, so that people dare not have the slightest doubt.

"Sima Shang, you will be Li Muzhi's deputy." Qin Yiren rushed to Sima Shangdao.

"Gongzi Xie!" Sima Shang's eyes flashed with tears, knelt down on one knee beside Li Mu, and saluted Qin Yiren with a fist.

"Get up! Get up! Li Mu is a great talent, known as the "God of War", Sima Shang is also a rare good general, to be able to get these two people to serve, Qin Yiren was very happy, and helped the two up.

"Huh!" A burst of laughter rang out, coming from the mouths of the generals.

After this battle, the generals greatly appreciated the talent and character of Li Mu and Sima Shang, and the two were willing to take on this important responsibility, and everyone was also happy, thinking that they had what they deserved.

"The matter of running the Hetao will be handed over to Li Mu and Sima Shang, and my son is very relieved." Qin Yiren glanced at the generals and said, "I'll talk about the current matter." How to fight this battle well, and what opinions you have, you can speak freely. ”

"Childe, if you want to wipe out the alien races of Lin Hu, Loulan, Lou Fu, Xiu Tu, and Hun Evil, the last general has nothing to say, and he is very appreciative." One of the generals stood up, a little worried, and said, "It's just that the troops should be sent in the spring of the next year." Now that it is winter, and the snow is about to fall, it is not the time to use soldiers, please think twice. ”

"That's right." The generals echoed in unison.

It's winter, it's about to snow, and it's not the season to use soldiers. It is only right not to attack now, but to attack again in the spring of next year.

"Not really." Huang Shigong shook his head and said, "Although it is winter now, and it is about to snow, there is still some time, whether there is more, there are still ten days and a half moon." Ten days and a half months is enough for us to deal with these aliens. ”

"So fast?" The generals were a little incredulous and surprised.

"That's right." Wei Yu took over the conversation, explained the doubts and doubts of the generals, and said: "Hutu, Hun Evil, Loulan, Lou Fu, Lin Hu These alien races have few people, and the area is not wide, and it is not as big as a county in Daqin, so why is it difficult to destroy them?" They are difficult to stop the Great Qin soldiers, as long as the Great Qin Ruishi arrives, they will inevitably be defeated by the wind. ”

Although the alien races such as Xiu Tu, Hun Evil, Loulan, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu constantly harassed Huaxia and caused a lot of trouble to Huaxia, these alien races were too small and limited in strength after all, and it was difficult for them to defeat the Qin army. It can be expected that the Qin army's dispatch this time is almost bloodless, and it can almost be said to be a march.

"Another point, it is already winter at this time, and these alien races have already camped in the land of abundant water and grass for winter, they didn't expect that Great Qin would send troops at this time, and they would be caught off guard by Great Qin." Li Mu took over the conversation and hit the nail on the head.

In the Warring States Period, the ancient precept of "no soldiers in winter" was observed, not only in China, but also in the surrounding alien races. These aliens would never have imagined that the Qin army would be dispatched at this time, and they would definitely be caught off guard by the Qin army.

"Lin Hu, Loulan, Lou Fu, Xiu Tu, and Hun Evil, their king has long been captured by us, we can let them lead the way, it is easy to find the winter land of these alien races." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows, raised his sword out of the sheath, and said, "If they dare to say a word, my son will definitely make their life worse than death." ”

Lin Hu, Loulan, Lou Fu, Xiu Tu, and Hun Evil were invited by Xiongnu Shan Yu to rush to the land of Beihe, wanting to defeat the Qin army together, but they were captured by the Qin army.

The reason why Qin Yiren didn't kill them was that it was useful to keep them, and it just came in handy at this time. These kings of foreign races are most familiar with the situation in their own country, and there will be no problem with them leading the way.

"Haha!" The generals were overjoyed and burst into laughter.

"In this westward expedition, I will order 50,000 troops." Qin Yidao.

"Fifty thousand?"

"Childe, that's too much, isn't it? With these alien races, where can they withstand the beating of 50,000 Great Qin Ruishi. Fifty thousand is not needed, twenty thousand is enough. ”

Qin Yiren's words surprised the generals.

With the strong combat power of the Qin army, don't say 50,000, even 10,000 or 20,000 can wipe out these alien races. Qin Yiren actually wanted to send 50,000 troops, which really surprised the generals.

"You're right, with the combat power of these alien races, how can they withstand the pursuit and killing of the 50,000 Great Qin Ruishi." Qin Yiren waved his right hand to stop the generals from discussing, and said, "This son will not be satisfied with just destroying these alien races. To the west of these alien races, there is also the Western Regions, where the territory is vast and there are many people, and Great Qin has not sent troops, since it has sent troops, it must be taken in one fell swoop. ”

"The Western Regions?" The generals almost jumped.

As we all know, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions to make friends with the Dayue clan because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard from the merchants and made such a decision. Many people think that this is the first time that ancient China knows about the Western Regions, but if they think so, they are misunderstood.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard the merchants talk about the life and death feud between the Dayue clan and the Xiongnu, rather than the merchants talking about the Western Regions, which are two completely different concepts.

The Western Regions had long been known to the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it did not have any intersection with it. Even so, the treasures of the Western Regions, such as sweat and blood, and the jade of Kunshan, also flowed into the Central Plains.

Of course, large-scale exchanges and trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions will take place after Zhang Qian envoys the Western Regions and opens the "Silk Road".

"Childe, do you really want to fight the Western Regions?" The generals looked incredulous.

"Of course!" Qin Yiren nodded heavily, and made a loud noise. (To be continued.) )
