Chapter 47: Sending troops to the west

"Ah!" A scream sounded, coming from the mouths of the generals.

Looking at the generals, everyone was surprised by Mo Ming, unbelievable, as if they were listening to a fantasy.

Although Li Mu was extremely talented, he shone in this battle and was deeply trusted by the generals. He believed that he could do the tasks assigned by Qin Yiren. However, he was a Zhao man after all. Although Zhao State had been destroyed and King Xiaocheng of Zhao surrendered, Li Mu was still a Zhao minister, not a member of Qin State. It was really unexpected that Qin Yiren gave Li Mu such an important task, and it was unexpected that it would not be possible to not be shocked by the generals.

Huang Shigong and Wei Liao looked at each other, praised them very much, and nodded slightly. They agreed with Qin Yiren's actions. Among all of them, it was most appropriate for Li Mu to take on this matter.

This was a killing two birds with one stone. Not only did he find a suitable general for this, but he also brought Li Mu into the Qin camp and allowed him to serve Qin.

The most surprised thing was Li Mu. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, and he was shocked. Although he had already expressed his loyalty to Qin Yiren and wanted to follow Qin Yiren, Qin Yiren wanted him to be an official of Qin and King Zhao of Qin, he had to be surprised. If Qin Yiren and him had no official position like Huang Shigong and Wei Liao, but were just a personal aide to Qin Yiren, Li Mu would not hesitate and would agree happily.

Sima Shang was also shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Young Master, isn't this suitable?" Li Mu reacted for a long time and said, "Young Master has entrusted me with important responsibilities. Li Mu is very grateful, but Li Mu is a Zhao person after all..."

Qin Yiren waved his right hand to stop Li Mu from talking, took over the conversation, and said, "Building the Hetao land is related to the safety of the world and the future of China. There is no difference between Qin and Zhao. As long as you are talented and loyal to China, you, Li Mu, are completely competent for this matter, and that's what you decide!"

The land of Hetao was to prepare for the future defeat of the Huns. This matter was related to the future of China. We should share the same hatred of the enemy and do not distinguish between countries. Qin Yiren said this to the generals, and the generals nodded slightly, which was very supportive.

"Young Master, but the King of Qin..." Li Mu was very moved, but he also knew that this matter must be approved by King Zhao of Qin.

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

This question really made Li Mu ask, and Li Mu opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

The wealth of Qin and the talented Qin soldiers are famous for fighting in the world. These are not the most proud of Qin. So, what is the most proud of Qin? This problem not only stumped Li Mu, but also stumped the generals.

"What Daqin is most proud of is to use talents in an unconventional way!" Qin Yiren gave the answer.

"Okay! Pick!" A cheerful sound came from the mouths of the generals.

Not only were they applauding, they also slapped their high-fives with admiration on their faces.

Qin's recruitment and emphasis on talents is really worthy of the four words "unconventional". Most of the talents valued by Qin are unsatisfactory in Shandong, not valued by others, and some are almost killed. However, they came out of nowhere and dominated the world, and are hard to meet. Famous officials such as Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui are all like this.

"You, Li Mu, have been in the north for a long time, are familiar with the situation in the north, and have extraordinary talents. Such talents are the talents that Da Qin needs most. The father will not only allow you, but also use you. You can rest assured." Qin Yiren said to Li Mu.

"This..." Li Mu was very moved, tears flashing in the tiger's eyes, but hesitated.

A Zhao man who had no achievements or qualifications in Qin State and was suddenly entrusted with an important task, Li Mu had to hesitate.

"Li Mu, look at the prime minister used by the Qin Dynasty and you will know that Shang Yang was originally from Wei, and he wanted to serve in Wei, and there was a matter of 'recommendation of wise men and killing wise men'. When he arrived in Daqin, he was valued by Xiaogong. Zhang Yi was originally from Wei, and was not valued in Shandong, and he was almost beaten to death in Chu State. How much did he be valued when he arrived in Daqin?" Qin Yiren smiled at Li Mu and said, "If the matter of Shang Jun Zhang Yi is a bit far away, then, the current Prime Minister Fan Sui, a native of Wei State, was almost killed by Wei Qi, the traitor of Wei Qi. When he arrived in Qin, he was appointed as prime minister by his father and entrusted with important tasks."

All the generals are very proud of this.

The hesitation on Li Mu's face suddenly disappeared.

"Mr. Shang, Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, before they entered Qin, they had no merits in Qin, but the Great Qin could use them. Although you, Li Mu, are not a Qin, have great merits in the world. If the Great Qin cannot use you as great talent as you, you would be blind!" Qin Yiren said loudly in the end.

"Thank you!" Li Mu knelt on one knee, and Qin Yiren clasped his fists and shouted: "Li Mu is so heartless, he is willing to do anything!"

The tone is not high, but it is loud and loud, making people dare not doubt it at all.

"Sima Shang, you should be Li Muzhi's deputy." Qin Yiren said to Sima Shang.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Sima Shang's eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt beside Li Mu on one knee, and bowed to Qin Yiren with fists.

"Get up! Get up!" Li Mu is a talented man in Panpan, known as the "God of War". Sima Shang is also a rare general. Qin Yiren was extremely happy to be able to serve these two people and helped them up.

"Haha!" A burst of laughter sounded, from the mouths of the generals.

After this battle, the generals greatly appreciated Li Mu and Sima Shang's talent and character. They were willing to take on this important task, and everyone was also happy and thought they were able to get what they wanted.

"The matter of managing Hetao is left to Li Mu and Sima Shang. I am very relieved." Qin Yiren glanced at the generals and said, "Let me talk about the current situation. How to fight this battle well? What do you have to say freely."

"Young Master, if you want to wipe out the alien races such as Lin Hu, Loulan, Lou Fan, Xiu Tu, and Hun Xie, the last generals have nothing to say and appreciate it." A general stood up and said with some concern, "It's just that the troops should be sent in the spring of the next year. It's winter now, and it's about to snow heavily. It's not time to use troops. Please think twice."

"Yes." The generals agreed in unison.

It is winter now and it is about to snow, and it is not the season for military use. If you don’t attack now, you will attack again in the spring of the following year. This is the most correct thing.

"Otherwise." Huang Shigong shook his head and said, "Although it is winter now, it is about to snow heavily, but there is still some time, and there is still ten days and half a month. With ten days and half a month, it is enough for us to solve these alien races."

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

"That's right." Wei Liao took the conversation and explained the doubts to the generals, saying, "Xiu Tu, Hunxie, Loulan, Loufan, Lin Hu, and other alien races have few people and are not wide in the territory. They are not as big as a county in Daqin. What's the difficulty to destroy them? They can't stop the Qin army. As long as the Qin soldiers arrive, they will inevitably be defeated."

Although the alien races such as Xiu Tu, Hunxie, Loulan, Loufan, and Lin Hu have constantly disturbed China and caused considerable trouble for China, these alien races are too small and have limited strength, and it is difficult to defeat the Qin army's troops. It can be expected that the Qin army's dispatch this time was almost bloodless, and it can almost be said to be a marche.

"There is another point. It's already winter. These alien races have already set up camp in a place with abundant water and grass. They didn't expect that the Qin Dynasty would send troops at this time and would be caught off guard by the Qin Dynasty." Li Mu took the conversation and said it to the point.

In the Warring States Period, we strictly adhered to the ancient saying of "not using troops in winter". Not only China, but also the surrounding foreign races also followed this ancient saying. These foreign races would never have imagined that the Qin army would be dispatched at this time of the season, and they would definitely be caught off guard by the Qin army.

"Lin Hu, Loulan, Loufan, Xiu Tu, Hunxie, their king has long been captured by us. We can let them lead the way. It would be easier to find these foreign tribes' nests and winter lands." Qin Yiren raised his brows and fired his sword out of the sheath, saying: "If they dare to say no, I will definitely make them live worse than death."

Lin Hu, Loulan, Loufan, Xiutu, and Hunxie, these alien kings rushed to the Beihe land at the invitation of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and wanted to defeat the Qin army together, but captured the Qin army.

The reason why Qin Yiren did not kill them was that they were useful, and it was just right at this time. These alien kings were most familiar with their own domestic situations. With them leading the way, there would definitely be no problem.

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

"This time, I will order 50,000 troops." Qin Yiren said.

"fifty thousand?"

"Young Master, isn't this too much? Just these alien races can't stand the 50,000 Qin Ruishi's fight. It doesn't take 50,000, 20,000 is enough."

Qin Yiren's words surprised the generals.

With the powerful combat power of the Qin army, not to mention 50,000, it would be possible to wipe out these alien races in just 10,000 or 20,000. Qin Yiren actually sent 50,000 troops, which really surprised the generals.

"You are right. With the combat power of these alien races, how can they withstand the pursuit of 50,000 Qin soldiers?" Qin Yiren waved his right hand to stop the generals from discussing, saying, "I will not only satisfy the destruction of these alien races. To the west of these alien races, there are also the Western Regions, which are vast and have many people. If the Qin Dynasty does not send troops, it will be taken down in one fell swoop."

"Western Regions?" The generals almost jumped up.

As we all know, Emperor Wu of Han sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to make friends with the Great Yuezhi because Emperor Wu of Han made such a decision after hearing the merchants. Many people think that this is the first time that ancient China knows the Western Regions. If he thinks so, he will be a misunderstanding.

Emperor Wu of Han heard the merchants talk about the great revenge between the Great Yuezhi and the Huns, rather than hearing the merchants talk about the Western Regions. These are two completely different concepts.

The Western Regions had known about the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but they did not have any intersection with them. Even so, the precious goods from the Western Regions, such as sweat-blooded BMWs and Kunshan jade, also flowed into the Central Plains.

Of course, large-scale exchanges and trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions must be done after Zhang Qian enters the Western Regions and opens the "Silk Road".

"Young Master, do you really want to attack the Western Regions?" The generals looked in disbelief.
