Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Not only that, Li Mu also showed a kind smile towards Lian Po.

Lian Po was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled back.

Although he didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that Li Mu didn't intend to compete for the position of the general in this battle against Chu.

Even if Li Mu is not afraid of coming out to fight, it is obviously a good thing for Li Mu to withdraw voluntarily.

But if Li Mu doesn't fight, it doesn't mean that no one will fight.

After a short silence, another person spoke.

"Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I am willing to go to Chu State for the King, wipe out Li Yuan and the three major families, and bring Chu State under the rule of the King!"

The one who can stand up and compete with Lian Po at this time, needless to say, is Pang Nuan.

Speaking of it, Pang Nuan is also quite miserable. Among the five countries that have been destroyed, Pang Nuan only made the limelight once when he destroyed Yan, and basically belonged to the role of deputy when he destroyed the other four countries. .

Now is the last chance, so Pang Nuan naturally wants to fight for it.

With more candidates, there will naturally be disputes.

So soon, a small dispute started around the choice of this time's main general.

Yu Xin and Li Bo naturally wanted to stand on Lian Po's side, and on the other side, due to Zhao Sheng's absence, Pang Nuan had only Ju Xin to support him.

As for the remaining few people, they did not express their opinions.

Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay, you don't have to argue anymore. How about it, since the current state of Chu is divided into two forces, Li Yuan and Zhao Jingqu, then the widow is going to conquer the army of Chu Divide into two groups, Lord Wu Xin and Lord Wu Ding will each lead an army, how about that?"

It can be said that Zhao Dan's formulation was somewhat unexpected by the officials present, which made Lian Po and Pang Nuan stunned.

It was at this time that Li Mu stood up suddenly, and said, "I think the king's words are very reasonable, and it is an out-and-out wonderful move!"

As soon as Li Mu spoke, Zheng Zhu and Li Si immediately agreed, and Lu Buwei, who had just joined Longtai, naturally fully supported it.

Lian Po glanced at Pang Nuan, and found that Pang Nuan was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two old generals were simultaneously ignited with a bit of fighting spirit.

"Okay, just as the king said!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Lian Po and Pang Nuan seemed to be able to accept Zhao Dan's decision.

Yu Xin couldn't help but asked: "Dare to ask your majesty, since the army is divided into two groups, who is the leader and who is the deputy?"

Zhao Dan glanced at Yu Xin, and said with a smile: "Since there are two forces of the Chu State, it seems that I don't have to have a priority this time. At that time, the two Qing families will each lead an army. It’s only 15, just take the Chu Kingdom for me.”

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, all the important officials in the hall were thoughtful.

The meaning of this is actually very obvious. This time, let Lian Po and Pang Nuan each rely on their own abilities. Whoever can eliminate his opponent first will be able to win the first prize. As for the one with slower hands and feet, the credit will naturally be smaller.

Speaking of it, 15 per person adds up to 30 troops. Considering the current territory and population of Zhao State, it is really a very easy task.

Before the ministers finished digesting the news, Zhao Dan continued to speak: "Also, I am going to tell the ministers another matter. Mr. Wu Xiang, come up."

Under everyone's surprised and unexpected gazes, Li Mu stood up and walked to the upper wall of the main hall.

Generally speaking, there will be a huge map hanging here, which shows the current situation of the Warring States Period. It is not the first time for the important ministers present to come here, and this has long been commonplace.

Because of this, when Li Mu picked up a baton and walked to the side of the map, all the Zhao Guozhong ministers present suddenly realized that the map hanging on the wall had changed.

What was presented before them was a new, unprecedented world.

Li Mu's baton first landed on the center of the map, where a powerful empire outlined in red lines stood proudly in the center of the world.

"Everyone, you should know where this is without me telling you, right? This is my country of Zhao. But the world is so big, it's not just the princes of China."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he moved the baton slowly to the west for a certain distance, and there was a huge mountain range running from northwest to southeast.

"Here is the Hexi Corridor, the western border of our country of Zhao, and if you go all the way along the Hexi Corridor, you will be able to reach the Western Regions."

Li Mu's baton drew a large circle on the map.

"The territory of the Western Regions is extremely vast, not under Qin, Chu and other countries. Most of the land is desert, but there are also oases in it. The products in the oasis are rich, and there are many rare treasures that I rarely see in the Central Plains. The most important thing is, There are many small countries in the Western Regions fighting endlessly, and there is not a unified powerful country that can fight against our Zhao country. At the same time, the terrain is mostly flat, which is suitable for large-scale cavalry marches. This place is God-given to our Zhao country to conquer!"

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, the expressions of the other courtiers in the hall changed.

Although Li Mu said the word "Tianci", since it was said in front of Zhao Dan, it undoubtedly represented Zhao Dan's meaning.

Your Majesty is preparing for a large-scale expedition to the west?This idea was born in almost everyone's mind at the same time. ,

After a pause, Li Mu continued: "Not long ago, Hu Yiwei just received news that the Huns had invaded the Western Regions on a large scale and occupied about [-]% of the land in the Western Regions. If the Huns occupied the Western Regions, Then at least three years and at least five years, the revival of the Huns will become a very possible thing."

"Xiongnu?" As soon as the term was mentioned, all the ministers of Zhao Guo present were somewhat surprised.

After a while, Yu Xin couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wu Xiang, is this Hun really that scary?"

If it is the Han Dynasty now, then the Xiongnu will naturally be the enemy of life and death for all the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty.

But now is the Warring States period, the Huns have not even fully formed a country, and the powerful Zhao State is also constantly winning in repeated fights with the Huns.

To Zhao's ministers, this Xiongnu is nothing more than a weak chicken who may be beaten violently at any time.

A weak chicken, why take it so seriously?

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Yu Qing probably doesn't know the current situation of the Huns. Ever since they fled to Mobei, the Huns have suffered a lot. At this moment, there is a man named Uwei who has integrated the strength of all the tribes of the Huns. The Huns were fully integrated into a country. Last year, the Huns marched westward under the leadership of Uwe Shanyu, wiped out most of the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and fought fiercely with the army of the Seleucid Kingdom, with [-] against [-] Instead of falling into the wind.”

"[-] against [-] is not going to lose?" As soon as Li Mu said these words, the ministers of Zhao State present were finally moved.

Yu Xin asked: "May I ask Mr. Wu Xiang, what kind of strength is the Seleucid Kingdom?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's about the same as the state of Qin during the Battle of Changping, perhaps a little weaker. However, the governors of the eastern part of this country are independent, and they seem to have the intention of self-reliance, and they have not obeyed their king's discipline for a long time. .”

Li Mu's baton continued to move westward, and stopped at a large lake: "This place is the fiefdom of the governor of Bactria in eastern Seleucid. If our army can advance westward in time, there is hope that after repelling the Huns and occupying the Western Regions, we can wipe out the governor of Bactria together, and then devour all the land!"

Looking at the extremely vast land drawn by Li Mu on the map, which is almost equivalent to more than half of the current state of Zhao, all the ministers of Zhao State present were moved one by one.

Lian Po couldn't help but said, "How many troops are needed to control such a large piece of land?"

Li Mu said confidently: "Just [-] cavalry is enough."

"Fifty thousand cavalry?" Pang Nuan frowned, and said, "Isn't this going to take away the entire side cavalry regiment? And if troops are sent next year, then it will be a three-front battle. Isn't this a bit too scattered?"

As soon as this remark came out, several ministers of Zhao Guo showed approval on their faces.

Although the current state of Zhao has a great cause, there is still logistical pressure to launch wars in three places at the same time.

The most important thing is that there has always been a voice in Zhao Guo that there is no need to go west.
