Li Mu was wearing a washed white brown robe, standing outside the main entrance of the Qin Palace with his hands hanging down, looking at the purple air rising into the sky in the center of the Qin Palace.
There was only one attendant behind him, the one who was in charge of stewing the meat when Lian Po visited last time. He had a big body, a round waist, a square face, and a face full of flesh.
He was originally a deputy general under Li Mu. When Li Mu was disarmed, he also returned to his fields.
The deputy general was also holding two old horses.
Although the horse is old, it is still a military horse that once sat down and stood behind the deputy general, motionless.
After Qin destroyed Zhao, Li Mu was allowed to take his horses and go into seclusion.
Li Mu and his deputy were waiting silently outside the palace gate when they suddenly heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats behind them.
A group of Qin troops appeared from the corner of the long street in the distance. There were more than thirty soldiers in total, all riding tall horses and wearing armor.
More than thirty Great Qin Ye beasts sprayed out black pillars of air from their nostrils. From a distance, the more than thirty horses were like a long dragon wrapped in black mist, roaring across the long street and coming close to Li and Mu.
.
The first general, sitting on horseback like a mountain, has a broad body and a beard as short as a knife. He is actually an honest man.
When Lian Po saw Li Mu, Gao Ju immediately refused to come down and said jokingly: "I said you will come here sooner or later, and you have to live in seclusion for several years, talking nonsense and wasting time."
Lian Po always spoke informally.
Li Mu responded from under his horse: "I am different from you. I have been hiding for several years, and I have given instructions to my generals. Now that I have come to Qin, I want to fight the Xiongnu. I am also invited by my generals."
The broad-shouldered lieutenant on the side said hurriedly:
"It was indeed our request, but General Lian Po didn't know anything about it. We rested for several years and were far away from the army. We really couldn't stand it anymore and felt that our life was boring.
I will ask the general to come out of the mountain and seek a military position in the Qin Dynasty. Even if he is an ordinary soldier who can wear armor and can go out with the army, I hope it will be enough."
Lian Po turned over and jumped off the horse, his armor making a clanging sound.
He asked Li Mu: "When Qin destroyed Zhao, you didn't want to join Qin and you were silent for several years. Why did you suddenly figure it out?
Don't talk to me about what my subordinates asked me to do. If you don't want to, who can force you to do it?"
Bang Da Yao Yuan responded quickly: "We have been living in the fields for the past few years, and we have discovered that after the Qin people took over our country, Zhao, they treated everyone equally in matters such as animal husbandry and farming."
"After Zhao returned to Qin, life was indeed better than before.
A few days ago, the King of Qin used the voice of a sage to announce to the world, and what he said made us think a lot after hearing it, so the general is willing to come to Qin."
"It turns out that I was touched by the king's words."
Lian Po said: "Let's go and come with me to the palace to see the king!"
Li Muqi said: "You came all the way here because you knew I was coming to see King Qin?"
Lian Po said: "That's not true. Qin is going to attack Yan. I'll come back in a hurry to see if there's any battle to be fought.
Being a general in the Qin Dynasty is not easy. The Qin army has good generals emerging one after another, including Meng Ao, Hegong and others who have been in battle for a long time, and there are also generals such as Wang Jian, Neishiteng, Meng Wu and others.
The new generation includes Yang Ruihe, Wang Bi, Li Xin and others, all of whom are good generals.
In the Qin Dynasty, if you are slow in your movements, your military merits will be taken away by others, so we knew that we were going to attack Yan, and we rode our horses back just to steal the merits.
It just so happens that the king knows that you are coming, and he has sent a message asking me to take you into the palace with him. Let's go."
Li Mu couldn't help but laugh. He came back to grab the credit and said so confidently!
Lian Po took two of his attendants, and Li Mu took the big ones, and the five of them went to the palace together.
Li Mu's lieutenant general looked at Lian Po's attendants as he walked: "General, these two attachés are wearing black armor made of fine iron, with bronze armor leaves on the outside, so that they can carve defensive patterns?
With such sophisticated equipment, what kind of soldiers are the generals considered to be soldiers in Qin?"
Lian Po said as he walked: "They are considered to be the second-class elite in Qin. They can wear armor all year round and eat military rations without having to do farming.
Above them there is the third-class Qin Army of the A-type Division!
The king has many troops, and the most elite ones in the Qin Dynasty are the two forbidden armies called Longjia and Xuanjia. There are currently one million Qin troops, and only a few thousand people have been selected.
These more than a thousand people... are the real strong army. If you can enter Qin, you will have the opportunity to see it in the future.
Qin's slightly weaker first-class soldiers are the Imperial Guards of the Qin Dynasty. They are all veterans of many battles. The so-called tiger warriors of the Qin Dynasty refer to them. Their total number is about one hundred thousand.
If these 100,000 troops are led by Lian Po, they can penetrate the defense line of any country in the world, and no one in the world can stop it!"
The broad-shouldered lieutenant general smiled and said, "It sounds like the general is praising his ability to command troops."
Lian Po ignored him and thought to himself: "Alongside the Great Qin Forbidden Army, there is also the Shenfu Army of Ye Yufu, with a number of about 30,000.
No one has the right to mobilize the above elite soldiers without the military talisman given by the king.
Again, the elites are scattered among the armies. They are under the command of generals such as Wang Jian and Meng Ao, ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. They are all fierce soldiers who follow them to conquer the world. Then there are these soldiers and guards under my command.
.
However, I, Lian Po, have only been in the Qin Dynasty for two years. I am the commander of the army and guard, and I have made the fastest progress.
My goal is to make the elite under my command a member of Da Qin's powerful army in the next three years."
Lian Po waved his hand rather arrogantly, appearing very confident in his ability to lead troops.
Bang Da Yao Yuan suddenly lowered his voice and asked Lian Po: "I heard that the Chu people's general Xiang Yan was sent by the King of Qin to dig canals?
According to rumors from the outside world, the King of Qin has always been thirsty for talents, so why did he miss the generals of the Chu people?"
Lian Po shook his head: "I don't know what your Majesty thinks."
While talking, they arrived at the Xianyang Palace. Liu Qi, a close minister, dressed in a black chamberlain robe with dark stripes, came out to greet him personally and led the way.
At this time, the entourage was waiting outside the palace, but Li Mu and Lian Po followed Liu Qi and were able to enter the Xianyang study to meet the Lord of Qin.
The midday sun is brilliant and bright.
The windows on both sides of the study room are open, letting in a cool breeze.
Zhao Huaizhong is dressed in a black royal robe, sitting like a pine tree and motionless like a mountain.
The moment Li Mu came in, he put down his jade pen and looked up.
When the Xiongnu attacked Zhao, Zhao Huaizhong was still the prince of Qin, but he and Li Mu communicated through letters to join forces between the two families to surround and kill the Xiongnu tribe.
Later, the Qin army attacked Zhao, and Zhao Huaizhong sent a handwritten letter to Li Mu, clearly stating that Zhao would perish.
After the fall of Zhao, Zhao Huaizhong's dharma body went to the military camp to meet Li Mu in person.
So the two of them are not strangers.
Li Mu's impression of Zhao Huaizhong was somewhat complicated.
Nowadays, people in the world have different opinions on Zhao Huaizhong. Some people think that Qin was able to destroy four countries in a row, mainly because of the accumulation of Qin people over generations.
But more people think that King Qin has unparalleled talents.
Li Mu's view is more pertinent. The king of Qin, Zhao Huaizhong, and the Qin people's accumulated national power and military power for several generations jointly constituted the strength of Qin at this time, and both are indispensable.
If you have to compare which one is more important, in an era when royal power dominates everything, of course a wise monarch is more important.
Li Mu's view of Zhao Huaizhong is that he is not only a rare hero, but also an unparalleled genius, so he can be famous all over the world.
It is very likely that in the hands of the monarch of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Central-Earth China will achieve true unification, sweep the world and lay an unprecedented foundation.
"Li Mu has met King Qin."
Li Muxing saluted and paid homage. After he raised his head, he said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:
"The King of Qin and I know each other well. When the King of Qin destroyed Zhao, I had a grudge in my heart. I blamed the Zhao people for not fighting, and the Qin people for attacking Zhao. Qin and Zhao were enemies of each other, so I didn't want to join Qin.
However, several years after Qin destroyed Zhao, the state of Zhao was peaceful and peaceful, and the people had enough to eat. It was indeed more peaceful than the previous Zhao period.
Under the rule of King Qin, the Xiongnu could not invade our Chinese territory. The king sent a message to the world a few days ago, and I thought about it for days before deciding to enter Qin.
If the king is willing to use me, Li Mu should do his best and have no other thoughts."
Li Mu was calm and calm in dealing with things. He actually confessed the reason why he joined the Qin Dynasty when they met. His eyes were calm and his attitude was calm.
Li Mu is a good general, but his ability in commanding troops is not inferior to that of Wang Jian. Zhao has been in ruins for several years now.
Just like Zhao Huaizhong recently announced the original intention of the world, from a higher level, the disputes between Qin Zhao, Qin Chu, and Qin Wei are just closed-door disputes between China and the earth, fighting for kingship and the position of human emperor.
, it is the unification of the world, it is the achievement of great achievements!
What China and the foreign tribes and monster tribes are fighting for is life and death.
Now, a few years later, the hatred of Qin for destroying Zhao has gradually faded away on the premise that the Zhao people have returned to Qin to live and work in peace and contentment and gradually return to their hearts, so Li Mu is willing to join Qin.
"General, you have chosen to enter Qin at this time. Do you have any good advice to teach me?" Zhao Huaizhong's eyes were as bright as fire.
"Your Majesty is aware that Li Mu does have a strategy that can help your Majesty bring peace to Yan as soon as possible," Li Mu said.
If anyone in the world has the most experience in dealing with the Yan people, it must be Li Mu.
In the early years, there were frequent wars between Zhao and Yan, and the Yan people were beaten to pieces. Li Mu was the one who failed to win a single battle.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Mu was exchanging strategies for attacking Yan with Lian Po and Zhao Huaizhong.
In the evening, Li Mu left Qin Palace and was dragged to drink by Lian Po.
Zhao Huaizhong stretched his waist, feeling quite satisfied.
He announced his holy voice to the world, and the impact it brought will gradually appear in the following period. Li Mu was just a surprise by the way.
Night is beginning to fall.
Zhao Huai turned over the sign of Big Bear Dancer.
In the middle of the night, the Big Bear Dancer was dressed in 'fairy clothes' and hung her neck in shame: "I am so useless... I have never been able to satisfy the king in so many years."
Zhao Huaizhong rolled his eyes and said, "Who are you looking down on? It's just you. You're far from satisfying others."
The Big Bear Dancer gritted her teeth and said softly: "I still want to try it."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said: "It seems that during this period, I have made great progress in practicing the Five Yin and Holding Yang technique. At least I have become bolder."
The Big Bear Dancer hummed in a mixture of shame and joy.
The long night passed in an instant.
It’s time to enter August.
Yan Di, in the palace of King Yan.
"Has my son received any news? How is the situation?"
King Yan was expressionless as he stared at Prince Dan in front of him.
"The people of Qin have begun to accumulate strength and plan to attack our country, Yan."
Prince Dan's eyes were firm: "I have mobilized soldiers and generals to deploy defenses on the western front."
King Yan said: "Xiongnu, how did the people of Qi react?"
"If Chun Han Te is dead, the Qi people will definitely send troops to join forces with our Yan army to deal with the Qin people.
But like the Xiongnu, the Qi army on the eastern front, and Wang Jian's troops were also increasing their troops, and the confrontation between Qin and Qi was becoming more intense.
Qi could only contain part of the Qin army.
The same goes for the Xiongnu. A few months ago, when the Xiongnu attacked Donghu, Qin had made arrangements to force troops to force the northern border so that the Xiongnu did not dare to let go."
Prince Dan said: "To fight Qin, we still have to rely on ourselves after all."
The King of Yan happily pondered: "It's already August now, and it's bitterly cold in Yan. The weather turns cold at the end of September. Will the people of Qin... attack Yan this year?"
Prince Dan calmly analyzed: "The vitality of heaven and earth is rising, the quality of Qin's soldiers is far superior to ordinary elites, and the cold weather may not be able to stop the Qin army.
The King of Qin recently spread the word to the world, preaching etiquette and teachings, in order to quickly digest what Wei and Chu had gained.
Even if the Qin people don't come this winter, Qin will definitely attack Dayan in early spring of next year at the latest.
But father, there is no need to worry. Our Yan army has been preparing for this battle with the Qin people for several years. As long as we, the Yan people, work together, we may not be defeated by the Qin people."
Prince Dan was not as afraid of war as his father Yan Wangxi.
The Yan army has been preparing for many years and practicing military strategies. If the Qin people come, Yan will rely on the advantage of the city and will have to fight to determine the outcome.
White Wolf City.
"Your Majesty, the people of Yan have sent envoys several times to ask, if the Qin army attacks Yan, will we, the Huns, take the opportunity to attack Qin?"
In the palace, a Hun general asked.
"No, if Qin attacks Yan, taking advantage of its inability to take care of others, it will be a good opportunity to capture Donghu and strengthen our Xiongnu." Luotuanman said.
His past confrontations with the Qin army made him decide to change his strategy towards Qin. He would first accumulate his own strength and use the same methods as Qin, swallowing Donghu and then destroying Dayue to unify the grasslands. Then his goal would be to invade the Central Plains southward with all his strength.
August.
The hot weather in Xianyang.
Today's Qin Dynasty has millions of soldiers, but it does not have a standing army of millions.
Except for the elite troops, other soldiers will adopt a rotational de-arming system during non-war periods, disarm and return home, and only return to form an army during war.
This can not only reduce consumption, but also adopt the policy of taking turns to return to the fields, so that the soldiers will not be tired of fighting for a long time and become tired of fighting.
Since September, the troops of the Qin army who had retired from military service have been summoned to return to the army one after another.
After a short training, they will begin to move to the Yan and Qin borders in batches.
While the army has not yet moved, food and grass have to go first. The Qin army has begun to prepare food and grass in various places.
The atmosphere quietly became tense.
Whether the Qin army will start a battle to attack Yan this winter, all parties are paying attention.
