Looking at the unpretentious token in front of him, Li Mu's fluttering heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

I knew that the general valued himself, but I didn't expect the general to be so heavy on himself! Where is this general, it is clearly the deputy general of the army!

With 25,000 cavalry and horses, it was almost half of the combat strength of the land in this era.

What's even worse is that the two generals, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, actually accept their own moderation. These two followed the general all the way from the battlefield of Shangdang, so let yourself control them?

And the pro-soldier guards are also in their own hands, what a lot of trust this is!

And the iron horse, just by hearing the name, you know that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It is clear that the Admiral has kept almost all the cards in his hand in his own hands.

But the question is, can I bear this burden?

Even Li Mu, who has always been confident, was a little apprehensive at this time.

Zhao Kuo, who was standing at the top, looked at Li Mu, who had not received the order for a long time, and seemed to see the apprehension in his heart, and then pressed the token into Li Mu's hand.

He said with a smile: "The general is even younger than the general, and a few months ago, my king entrusted him with Zhao Guosheji and an army of 400,000, and the general did not frown. The general's ability is no less than mine, and today's general is not afraid of tens of thousands of troops?"

"The Last!" Li Mu was slightly stunned, then gritted his back molars, took the token with both hands and said, "The last general is ashamed, and please ask the general to mention the face order in real time, so as not to make the last general stumble and become hateful."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuo was ecstatic when he saw that Li Mu had finally taken the token, and said with a laugh: "As long as the general remembers the responsibility on his body in real time, there will be no missteps!" I have high hopes for you!"

As he spoke, he helped Li Mu with one hand, and pulled Lu Buwei with the other, and the four hands overlapped fiercely.

History has been completely rewritten from this moment.

Li Mu, who got Zhao Kuo's order, immediately took over 20,000 cavalry from the hands of General Chen, the acting landlord, General Chen naturally understood the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier, not to mention that Zhao Kuo used the general of the land, which was already very face-saving, and immediately did not embarrass Li Mu, and handed over the military power smoothly.

On the other hand, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi faced Li Mu, who came from behind, and their psychology was still a little unbalanced, but fortunately, Li Mu was not stupid, and after a little understanding of the composition of the heavy cavalry, he dispelled the idea of controlling it, and as for the guard, Li Mu did not have the slightest idea.

Li Mu knows very well that this heavy cavalry, although he does not know what the combat power is, but it is obviously a new army trained by the general, and it is obviously the strongest hole card in the general's hand, and it must be the kind that must be held in his hand, Li Mu naturally did not interfere in it very measuredly.

As for the personal soldiers, although Li Mu really wanted to see the power of the so-called heavy armor Mo Sword, it was obvious that this general's guards did not intend to expose its terrifying strength too much, and Li Mu naturally did not explore too much.

Li Mu knew that the reason why it was clear that the two generals, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, obeyed his own deployment, was more because the generals wanted to improve their status, rather than really commanding the strong army in the hands of these two generals.

Of course, with Li Mu's understanding of these two strong armies, Li Mu also deeply felt the unfathomable depth of General Zhao Kuo, if he hadn't felt it himself, Li Mu would never have imagined how terrifying the combat power would be with this seemingly mere 10,000 soldiers. Naturally, these two strong armies have become Li Mu's strongest backing at the same time.

Finally, the introduction of stirrups made Li Mu's case even more amazing! As the general of Daidi, Li Mu only rode a war horse with stirrups for a little two circles, and he already knew what this invention meant to the cavalry. It is no exaggeration to say that just this small thing directly doubled the combat power of the cavalry.

It's a pity that he has the same idea as Zhao Kuo: this sharp weapon is not yet completely exposed—at least until Zhao Guo completely cleans up the Hu people.

Only with a stable number of horses to help, and the number of cavalry formed an absolute suppression of the rest of the countries, especially the Qin State, can the stirrups be exposed!

As time progressed, Li Mu quickly controlled the 20,000 under his command

The 5,000-strong army immediately followed the map and began to step on the grassland according to the map provided by Lü Buwei.

At the same time, Lü Buwei's caravan also set off again, marching towards a deeper grassland, not only to explore the water veins of the grassland, but also to do a good job of preliminary publicity for the upcoming mutual market.

And Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, the two generals, naturally continued the training of their respective teams, although the number of troops in their hands was reduced by half, but both of them knew that the burden on their bodies was heavier.

As for Zhao Kuo, he continued to patrol the place, but the purpose was not to check the defense situation on the surface, but to select the cities of the mutual market.

In fact, after arriving at the second city, Sanggan City, Zhao Kuo and Lü Buwei had basically selected this place.

Without him, it's big enough!

Sangan City, located at the center of the Trinity's first-line defense, is also the most important fulcrum against the Hu people. Over the years, the army went north mostly from Sanggan City, and the Hu people went south, and it was here that they were the first to attack and invest the most troops.

It is also because of this geographical advantage that the land has not been rich over the years, and there has been no stagnation in the reinforcement of Sanggan City, which makes Sanggan City much larger than the two corner cities of Horse City and Dangcheng.

The city is large enough to accommodate the flourishing markets and the people who flock to the merchants and travelers after the Xiahu Market, and only then can more troops be stationed;

The tower is wide enough to calmly mobilize troops, to resist stronger attacks, and to resist a thunderous blow from the Hu people.

Of course, the location is well chosen, but it is not so easy to really start the mutual market. But at least, Lü Buwei's caravan has already brought a ripple to the backwater.

In short, everything in Daidi is developing in the direction that Zhao Kuo wants.

It's just that Zhao Kuo is in action, and the others are not idle.

Just when Zhao Kuo was excited to finally get Li Mu, a famous general, the envoy of Yan State had also arrived in Xianyang!

Xianyang City is still so majestic and tall that every foreign envoy who enters it can't help but feel a sense of awe. Even now, as an ally of the Qin State, the envoy of the Yan State still can't stop the awe in his heart.

And after entering the city, the envoy of Yan Kingdom felt a completely different feeling from when he came - depression.

Repression!

That's right, it's repression!

A kind of depression that is about to erupt, but the gap is plugged alive!

The kind of depression that makes people breathless!

Even in the cries of selling on the street, there is a trace of hatred. And the eyes of the Qin people looking at Yan Guo's carriage were even more with a deep cold light.

The entire Xianyang City seems to be like a stick of dry firewood soaked in tung oil, as long as the slightest spark can ignite the dry firewood that rushes to the sky.

couldn't help but let the envoy of the Yan Kingdom speed up the coachman again.

Fortunately, the Yan envoy's road to the audience was quite smooth. And before the Xianyang Palace, the envoys of the Yan Kingdom finally understood where the hatred of the Qin people came from.

A stone more than a zhang high and arm-thick is standing on the square in a daze, and the iron painting on the front is engraved with a silver hook, which is the word "national shame" in red!

Look closely, the red color, is not like cinnabar, but the blood dried up, although three steps away, you can also smell its bloody breath, not human blood can not have this evil breath!

Looking at the back of it, it is densely engraved with the beginning and end of the Changping War. At the end, it is attached to the "edict of sin" of King Qin. Between the swords and axes, they were smeared with blood.

The hatred of the Qin people can be seen.

The more they saw this, the more confident the envoys of the Yan State became to convince the King of Qin.

Soon, the envoys of the Yan Kingdom were brought to the King of Qin, and after explaining the intention, the King of Qin did not have the excitement that the Yan envoy expected, but said lightly: "The envoy of Yan has worked hard, and he will rest first, and after discussing with the ministers, he will reply."

Yan Envoy did not force him to stay, because he believed that the whole Qin State was ashamed of the "Battle of Changping", and now the opportunity of shame was close at hand, whether it was the King of Qin or the Qin ministers, it was impossible not to be moved

。

It's a pity that although King Qin has a heart of "snow shame", he is not blinded by hatred because of this. The two successive defeats have made King Qin completely see the horror of Zhao Guo and Zhao Kuo, and if he is not completely sure, how can King Qin take risks easily?

What's more, although the current Qin State still has the most vast and fertile land among the six countries, but because of the relationship between the "cultivation and warfare" system, in fact, the Qin State is already on the verge of danger, if the next foreign war still cannot be won, it is not impossible for the huge Qin State to collapse.

Very simply, the bow of the Qin State has been completely filled with a piece of the Qin King's guilty edict, and a "national shame stone". can't kill with one blow, that's the result of the bow breaking the country.

As a last resort, the Qin State really didn't want to shoot this arrow at the Zhao State again.

Because according to the current situation, with Zhao Kuo here, it is difficult for the Qin State to win, and even if it wins, the Qin State will suffer heavy losses, and while Qin and Zhao are merging, maybe another powerful country will quietly rise. In this way, the gains of the Qin state outweighed the losses.

Therefore, what Qin wants to do is to exchange the greatest benefits for the smallest possible price in the next foreign war. If not, Qin would rather not use the sword.

Obviously, the so-called invitation to fight is nothing more than wishful thinking. From the King of Qin to the courtiers, none of them were optimistic about Yan's trip. Without him, Yan Guo is too weak, and Zhao Guo is too strong! Even if the current Zhao State is indeed as Yan Envoy said, the army is seriously insufficient.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how weak the Zhao State is, it's not that you, the Yan State, can pick up the tiger's whiskers, unless the Qin State raises a large army again and attracts all the elites of the Zhao State.

Is it possible?!
