Shuofang County.

A small river flowed quietly through the endless grassland. Several wild sheep were drinking water by the river, and a grassland eagle hovered in the air, as if waiting for an opportunity to hit him down.

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves came, and the wild sheep rushed out of the river like a frightened bird. The grassland eagle in the sky seemed to have found an opportunity, let out an extremely sharp roar, and rushed down from the sky, directly towards the smallest wild sheep.

The little wild goat seemed to know that it had become a prey, and while running hard on the grass, it made a bleating and bleating sound.

Just as the grassland eagle's sharp and sharp claws were about to catch the little wild sheep, an arrow suddenly came from the side and penetrated the grassland eagle's chest accurately.

The grassland eagle let out a shocking scream and fell directly to the ground. No matter how much the body fluttered, it could never get up again.

The little wild sheep who escaped from death ran away wildly and soon disappeared from the sight of the grassland eagle.

The sound of horse hooves approached quickly, and followed by several human laughter and conversation.

"King Yiqiu is indeed a good archery technique!"

Accompanied by this sound, three horses appeared at the same time and came to the grassland eagle.

A guy on the left who looks very literary, wearing a Hu costume but with a Confucian crown, and is a bit inappropriate, is the new governor of Shuofang County Li Si.

The one on the right, who was also wearing Hu's uniform, with a calm face and a little sharp, was almost the same age as Li Si, and was now the general Li Mu, who is now famous in the Zhao army and is recognized as the leader of the new generation of Zhao army.

The person who was surrounded by Li Si and Li Mu had a rebellious expression. He used tiger skin as his jacket and deer skin as his boots, and had many small braids behind his head. The direct bloodline of the Yiqu royal family, the eldest grandson of the Yiqu king who was killed by Qin King Ji and Queen Mother Xuan in the Ganquan Palace, Yiqusheng.

The arrow just now was shot by Yi Qusheng.

Yi Qusheng jumped off his horse and picked up the grassland eagle that was still struggling on the ground with his hands. With a light twist, the grassland eagle was exhausted.

"Okay, no one is here anymore. The envoy of Zhao State, can we say it's important, right?"

Although this Zhao Yu from Yiqiusheng feels a bit awkward in his accent, it’s still okay to understand it.

Li Mu and Li Si looked at each other, and then Li Mu smiled and said, "King Yiqiu, we are here this time to support you in the founding of the country by our king."

"Kinguo?" A sneer suddenly appeared on Yi Qusheng's face: "That's how Yi Quhai was deceived by you and then died under the Qin people, right?"

Yiquhai, another grandson of the last Yiqu king, had a reputation among the Yiqu people, and Yiqu was comparable to Yiqu.

The last Yiqu People's Rebellion was led by Yiquhai, but that rebellion had been suppressed, and Yiquhai's head had been hanging at the city gate for several months, and it had become a skull.

Li Mu shrugged and said, "The King of Yiqiu is such a bad word. Speaking of which, we are indeed the first to support Yiqiusheng. But if Yiqiusheng had not been blindly arrogant and actually led his army to attack Yiqiu City guarded by the Qin army, resulting in the failure of the Qin army's counterattack, then it is obvious that Yiqiu Kingdom has probably been rebuilt."

Yiqiusheng snorted, not commenting.

Li Si, who was standing aside, also said, "Did King Yiqu forget how the Qin people treated you over the years? Are the Yiqu people so willing to be bullied, unwilling to avenge Lao Wang, and only willing to be the lackey of the Qin people?"

"Enough!" Yiqusheng shouted in dismay: "Of course, it is impossible for us Yiqu people to forget hatred! But..."

He stared at Li Si and Li Mu in front of him with a sharp gaze like a falcon, and said, "Yiquhai's failure has caused at least half of the warriors of our Yiqu tribe to lose. If this time fails, then our Yiqu tribe will be over. Do you understand?"

Li Mu shook his head slowly and said, "The only thing I understand is that Qin State is the weakest Qin State since King Ji ascended the throne! If the people of Yiqiu cannot take this opportunity to become independent, then there will be no chance in the next few decades."

Li Mu slowed down his speech and said to Yiqusheng in front of him: "Want to think about it, will the people of Yiqu still remember the hatred decades later? By that time, perhaps they had long considered themselves a Qin. The word Yiqu may have disappeared, and there will never be such a tribe again!"

Yi Qusheng's face turned red and green, and then white. After a while, he finally said: "We need assistance, we need a lot of assistance!"

Li Mu and Li Si looked at each other and both saw a look of joy on each other's faces.

Li Si immediately spoke, "One thousand war horses, ten thousand stones of food, and enough armor, weapons and arrows to be equipped with 3,000 people."

Yiqiusheng's body was shocked and he looked at Li Si in disbelief: "King Zhao is so big, is he willing to hand over so many supplies to us?"

Li Si smiled and showed a proud look on his face: "Don't forget that Da Zhao is the most powerful country in the world now, and these supplies are really nothing!"

Yiqiusheng's face was complicated, and after a while, he said, "If this is the case, then I want to ask, if the matter is not good, can the Zhao cavalry directly support us? I know that you have at least 5,000 cavalry now, yes."

Since the Yuezhi invasion, the State of Zhao has significantly strengthened its defense in Shuofang County, which is only one river away from the Yuezhi people, and increased the cavalry troops here from 2,000 to 5,000.

The command of these five thousand Zhao cavalry in Shuofang was all in the hands of Li Mu.

It is worth mentioning that in the last war, in order to prevent the invasion of the Xiongnu, Yuezhi and even Qin, Zhao Dan ordered Li Mu to temporarily control all the troops and horses in the seven northern counties of Zhao State.

Now the war has ended, but the military talisman in Li Mu's hand has not been taken back.

In other words, Li Mu now has become the actual controller of the northern border cavalry legion of Zhao State at the age of twenty-nine and less than thirty!

Yiqiusheng obviously knew some inside story, so he looked at Li Mu with a eager face, hoping to get Li Mu's affirmative answer.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "No Zhao cavalry can enter the territory of Qin before he gets the order of the king."

Yi Qusheng showed a disappointed expression on his face.

Li Si, who was standing by, hurriedly spoke, "But please don't worry, King Yiqiu, if there is any mistake, King Yiqiu can lead his clan members to retreat into our Shuofang County first, and wait for a comeback in the future. Moreover, there will be a war between Zhao and Qin. Why should King Yiqiu be in a hurry?"

When Yi Qusheng heard this, his face improved a lot. He nodded slowly and said, "Since that's the case, then let's make a decision! Five days later, we will hand over the supplies here, can we do it?"

The three of them agreed on some details, and then Yi Qusheng left.

Li Si stared at Yiqusheng's figure gradually fading away, and couldn't help but speak to Li Mu beside him, "General Li Mu, do you really think this Yiqu people can accomplish anything?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "In my opinion, these Yiqu people are just a group of stray dogs. How could they be the enemy of the Qin people? Even if it can cause some chaos for the time being, it is impossible to accomplish anything."

Li Si was stunned when he heard this and said with some distress: "If this happens, will all our aid supplies be wasted?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Monday, if the Qin people can kill each other without damaging the life of the Warrior of the Great Zhao, even if there are ten times more aid supplies, it will be worth it! It's getting late, so we'll go back."

Li Mu whistled, and a team of Zhao cavalry appeared quickly, and the two guards headed towards the north.

The sound of hoof gradually disappeared, and the grassland once again returned to its calm.
