Behind the girl, Zhao Yan answered with a childish face: "Sister Meng, the father and mother are in Dunlun, Dunlun, do you know? It is to work hard for us to give birth to a second sister, alas, Oh, brother, why are you pulling my ears?"
Zhao Heng held his elder sister's little hand and Zhao Yan's ear with his hand, and snorted angrily as he walked, and said, "Dun Lunlun, do you know it's Dunlun? Hang on every day Don't be ashamed! Master Xun has come, it's time to go back to class!"
Chapter 393 Li Mu Going Southward (Third Change)
Hetao County, Zhenbei City.
This is a city that has just been established. In fact, up to this moment, the so-called Zhenbei City has only just started construction for half a month, and the construction of the city wall has barely been completed.
For any city of this era, the construction of the city wall must be placed first.
With a tall city wall, people in the city have a sense of security.
A sense of security is extremely important to anyone.
But cities are not the only ones that can give people a sense of security, the military can also do the same.
This is especially true when there are a total of [-] troops in the city.
[-] Zhao cavalry is enough to sweep all the nomads in the entire Hetao, and [-] Zhao cavalry stationed here is enough to make all the Linhu slaves in the city obediently do heavy hard work. Even under whips and sticks, he didn't dare to make any complaints.
Fortunately, these coolies are relieved that such days are finally coming to an end.
In the early morning of this day, there was an endless sound of horseshoes outside Zhenbei City.
The signs of thousands of troops mobilizing were so shocking that the smoke and dust all over the sky began to float into Zhenbei City, and the ground shook like an earthquake.
It lasted for half an hour. When the overseers started to yell and curse again to let the slaves continue to work, the slaves who climbed to the top of the city looked far away, only to find that the branch that had been stationed in Zhenbei City recently The cavalry army outside has gone to the end of the horizon with billowing smoke and dust.
As the supreme commander of this cavalry, Li Mu's heart was burning.
Yes, although this is not the first time that Li Mu has commanded a large army independently, but this time the target Li Mu is going to attack is not those Linhu barbarians who are not qualified opponents for Li Mu at all, but three years ago. It is still the most powerful country in the world, Qin!
According to Zhao Dan's request, Li Mu will lead the [-] cavalrymen of the Zhao army to go south quickly, giving the people of Qin a big surprise!
It is no exaggeration to say that the army led by Li Mu definitely belongs to the kind of existence that is expected to change the situation of the battle!
It is precisely because of this that Li Mu is not only grateful for Pang Nuan who strongly recommended him, but also has great admiration for the king Zhao Dan who can boldly use him.
Scholar die for the confidant!
As a courtier, shouldn't the most hopeful thing is to let the courtiers have a good king who can fully play the stage like Zhao Dan?
Li Mu secretly made up his mind that this time he must use a brilliant victory to repay General Pang Nuan's kindness of recommendation, and to repay the king's kindness of knowing him!
Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but subconsciously tightened his grip on the horse's belly, and said to the guards around him: "Send the order, the whole army will speed up and must reach Fushi before sunset!"
The place name Fushi sounds more or less related to women, but it is not.
The origin of this name actually comes from a man, a man with a relatively noble status.
After Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed by King Wuling of Zhao, Fushi, the last prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, was exiled here by King Wuling of Zhao, hence the name of this place.
Since it is a place of exile, and it is so close to the original territory of the Linhu people, it is obviously a dream to build a decent city here.
Whether it is a city or a country, if you want to become prosperous, the most important prerequisite is peace.
Without peace, there can be no development at all.
In fact, shortly after Prince Fu Shi was exiled here, this place became the territory of the Qin people.
Prince Fushi and his people disappeared without a trace when the Qin people came here. The Qin people who became the owners of this place unceremoniously built the Great Wall here and set up a beacon tower on the mountain outside the small city of Fushi.
At dusk that day, thick smoke billowed suddenly from the beacon tower outside the small town of Fushi.
Soon, one beacon tower after another was lit up. Under the dusk sky, the flames and thick smoke on the beacon towers were extremely eye-catching, all the way to the south.
At the most tomorrow morning, there will be news of the invasion of northern enemies in Xianyang City.
Li Mu reined in the reins, causing the horse, which was tired and sweaty from running for a day, to stop slowly, and looked coldly at the beacon tower in front of it.
As a veteran who served in Gaoquesai for several years, Li Mu certainly knew what the lighting of the beacon tower meant.
But he doesn't care.
The corner of the young General Zhao Guo's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
"How can a mere dead city wall stop the footsteps of our Zhao army? Pass on the order, and I will camp in Fushi City tonight! No Qin army will be left in the city!"
Fushi is just a small city, so small that there are only a hundred soldiers of the Qin army stationed here, and a mere hundred defenders is obviously no problem for the [-] army.
The siege lasted only a quarter of an hour and ended, and after another cup of tea time, Li Mu entered the small city of Fushi surrounded by a group of personal guards.
Looking at the 89 headless corpses of the Qin Army and the eight captives in front of him, Li Mu's expression was not very good.
"Where are the other four?"
One of Zhao Guo's two or five hundred masters at the side replied with an apologetic smile: "General, perhaps this Qin army is dissatisfied with its establishment."
"Nonsense!" Li Mu glared fiercely at the two or five hundred masters in charge of the siege, and his voice was even colder than the wind on this spring night: "I don't care what method you use, this general Find the remaining three people!"
An hour and a half later, three bloody heads were raised in front of Li Mu.
"Very well, where did you find it?"
“There is a cave near the beacon tower”
"Good job." Li Mu patted the tired two or five hundred master who was barely standing in front of him, and glanced sharply at all the middle and senior generals in front of him:
"With the Great Wall defense line in place, it is absolutely impossible to hide the news of our army's entry from the people of Qin. But if possible, I hope that the people of Qin will know the number of our troops as soon as possible! As long as the people of Qin don't know about our army If the quantity is too small, then you will definitely make a wrong judgment! Therefore, under the possible conditions, kill every Qin countryman standing in front of you!"
"Your Majesty told this general in his letter that if he wins this battle, then the country of Zhao will soar into the sky from then on. If he loses this battle, maybe the country of Zhao will repeat the same mistakes as that of the country of Qin! So this general is here today. Tell you, anyone who disobeys military orders will be subject to military law! You all understand!"
After a brief silence, there was a very neat response.
"promise!"
"Very good, since that's the case, let's break up and rest, gather tomorrow morning and continue going south!"
Chapter 394 Li Mu Has His Own Claims (Fourth Change)
The next morning, Li Mu led his [-] cavalry army and continued south without stopping.
From the perspective of regional division, the place where Li Mu is located at the moment is not only Xihe County of the State of Wei in the past, but also Shang County of the State of Qin today.
The entire upper county of the Qin State actually belonged to an area with a large area and a sparsely populated area.
After all, this place used to belong to the Yiqu people, and the Yiqu people had already been almost annexed by the people of Qin, either killed or relocated.
