Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

A cavalry team of the Zhao army was passing by Perseus's carriage.

Perseus set his sights on the cavalry, and found that everyone in the cavalry was fully armed, and their bodies were completely covered by silver heavy armor, even the horses were covered with a layer of armor. thick armor.

The sun fell from the sky, and the armor of this heavy cavalry reflected a dazzling light, which was so dazzling that people couldn't keep their eyes open.

Perseus' eyes widened, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion: "By God, is this the heavy cavalry led by Alexander the Great in the legend?"

Ales shook his head and said, "Master, let me say that without being objective, the combat effectiveness of this heavy cavalry may be stronger than the one led by the great Alexander the Great!"

Perseus swallowed with some difficulty, and suddenly asked, "Do you know how many such heavy cavalry there are in this expeditionary army?"

Ales thought for a while, and said in an uncertain tone: "Master, I have heard the conversations of some Zhao cavalrymen. Judging from their conversations, there should be six to seven thousand heavy cavalry."

"Six thousand heavy cavalry!" Perseus was completely shocked by this terrifying number, and he sighed after a long while: "I finally understand why the Huns are still no match for these Zhao troops. gone."

Ales nodded, and said in a very serious tone: "Master, please trust Ales. If the master had been able to go out to Handan for a few more times, the master would have a deeper understanding of Handan City and the State of Zhao. And they have more confidence in the combat effectiveness of their cavalry."

"What do you know!" Perseus suddenly became furious, and slapped Ales hard on the face: "Alexander's legion is invincible, if the great Alexander is still alive, this The army of no country in the world can stop us!"

Alice lowered her head and remained silent.

After venting his anger, Perseus also seemed a little tired. He gave Ales a vicious look, then got back into his quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

When setting up camp on this day, Li Mu, who had just settled down, received a piece of news.

"Perseus, the envoy of the Seleucid Empire, asks for an audience?"

Li Mu smiled, and said to Zhao Kuo who was beside him: "It seems that our envoy, his patience seems to be quite limited."

Zhao Kuo laughed, and said, "If his patience wasn't so limited, I'm afraid Jun Hou would have to let the brothers with armored cavalry wear armor to hang around his carriage for many more days."

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, let him come in."

After a while, Perseus walked slowly into Li Mu's handsome tent with the support of Ales.

"What? You want us to continue attacking Theodotus, the governor of Batkeria after expelling the Huns?" Li Mu's face looked very gloomy: "What do you mean? Do you really want to see Sebastian Is Liugu going to war with our country of Zhao? Maybe I should ask someone to verify the identity of you, the envoy?"

After listening to the translation, Perseus hurriedly said: "Dear General Li Mu, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. In fact, you may not know that our governor of Bactria, Theodotus, has already had a traitor. It’s just that our great king has been fighting in the west, so we don’t have time to deal with him. Our great king has already said that as long as General Li Mu can destroy Theodotus, the wealth of the entire Bactria region will be destroyed. Everything can belong to General Li Mu and Zhao Guo!"

Li Mu obviously hesitated after hearing this sentence, and then sneered after a while, and said, "How much wealth can a mere Bactria have?"

Perseus laughed: "General Li Mu, don't worry, maybe the rich Bactria region can't compare to Zhao, but when it comes to wealth, General Li Mu will be satisfied. And we also Will provide enough detailed information to General Li Mu, as long as General Li Mu can destroy Theodotus, Seleucus will be the most powerful ally of General Li Mu and Zhao Guo in the future!"

Li Mu turned his gaze, and suddenly looked at Perseus and laughed: "If I guess correctly, after Theodotus died, the new governor of Bactria should be a man named Perseus." the person?"

Perseus also smiled: "General Li Mu is indeed the most intelligent General Zhao."

Both of them laughed heartily at the same time.

Li Mu stopped laughing and said, "I want at least 20 slaves!"

Perseus shook his head and said: "At most 20, I also need enough population to guard Bactria, and even if you have [-] slaves, it is difficult to bring them back to Zhao's Central Plains .”

Li Mu snorted and said, "16, plus all the wealth in the Bactria region that we can capture! Messenger of Perseus, don't forget that you are the ones asking for me now, and you have nothing to ask for." Bargain qualification!"

Perseus gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Then it's a deal!"

Seeing the back of Perseus leaving, Zhao Kuo, who had been listening to the whole process, couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion: "This old boy, is it so easy to get tricked?"

Li Mu laughed and said: "General Zhao Kuo, when you are old, it means that your time is running out. And once a person realizes that his time is running out, he will become impatient. When he really becomes impatient After that, mistakes are inevitable."

Chapter 23 West Seahorse (first update)

Before I knew it, it had been almost a month since the army set off.

Although it was already spring, and although the sun was still shining brightly above his head, Zhao Kuo still couldn't help subconsciously wrapping himself in the cotton coat.

"This is really a good thing. Please write it down. After the expedition is over and you return to Handan, everyone in the house will buy a few. It's good to keep out the cold in winter." Zhao Kuo squatted on a tree stump that was cut down at an unknown time. On the way, while tearing the jerky in his hand vigorously, he gave instructions to the captain of the personal guard beside him.

With a whoosh, a jug burst through the air and smashed towards Zhao Kuo's head.

Like a prophet, Zhao Kuo reached out and grabbed the jug in the air, pulled out the cork from the bottle mouth, took a big gulp, and then couldn't help frowning: "The smell is so hard to drink! Also, Yiqu defeated your intention to attack your boss, isn't he afraid that this general will punish you, a bastard? At that time, the military law will come first, and the governor will not be able to protect you!"

A few steps away, Yi Qusheng, who was eating dried meat and naan like Zhao Kuo, laughed, winking and said: "General Zhao Kuo, our Hungarian kumiss is like this, why doesn't it smell like a horse?" Can it be imported? By the way, I heard that the wine you carry with you is Handan wine, how about opening my eyes?"

Zhao Kuo glared at Yi Qusheng angrily, took off his flagon from his waist, and threw it towards Yi Qusheng: "Don't talk to each other!"

Yi Qusheng chuckled, uncorked the bottle and raised his head, the liquor gushed out from the mouth of the pot like a waterfall, and flowed into Yi Qusheng's mouth like a bottomless pit.

Zhao Kuo watched with some distress as his fine wine leaked out of Yi Qusheng's big mouth full of yellow teeth, and then handed it all the way to the ground along Yi Qusheng's completely unkempt beard. Angrily, he said again: "Don't waste it!!"

Zhao Kuo obviously underestimated the drinking capacity of his subordinates. It has only been a month since he set off, and the bastards like Yiqusheng have already drank one-third of the wine with them under various excuses.

Alcohol is a good thing, especially when marching under relatively cold conditions, its importance is highlighted.

Yi Qusheng turned a deaf ear to Zhao Kuo's scolding. He didn't shake the jug until the whole jug of wine was in his stomach, licked his lips with some unsatisfactory intentions, and smiled at Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo The general's fine wine is really extraordinary, it is the best fine wine that I, Yiqu Sheng, have had this month!"

Zhao Kuo snorted, took a bite of the jerky in his hand viciously, and chewed it vigorously, as if he was eating the meat of Yiqu Sheng.

Still not relieved after eating, he simply uncorked Yi Qusheng's hip flask, gulped his fill, and then threw it back into Yi Qusheng's arms: "Bring back the flagon of this general! "

For soldiers, no matter what kind of enmity it is, as long as they fight a few more battles together, these enmities can easily be resolved invisibly.

Especially when Yiqusheng saved Zhao Kuo's life, and now Yiqusheng is the king of Zhao Guo, some of the past between the two has really completely become the past.

Yi Qusheng moved closer to Zhao Kuo's side, and said with a smile, "General Zhao Kuo, tell me, when will you arrive in the Western Regions? The second and third sons ride horses every day, and they are already impatient."

Zhao Kuo glared at Yi Qusheng, and said, "You ask me, a Handan native, what you don't know about things?"

Yi Qusheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "The grassland is a grassland, but I have never been to such a far place before."

"Ask the governor!" Zhao Kuo said angrily.

Yiqu Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "Five top-grade Yiqu horses, the kind that pay tribute to Handan."

Zhao Kuo snorted and said, "What's so good about Yiqu horses? You think I'm someone who has never seen the world? I want ten Xihai horses!"

"Ten Xihai horses?" Yi Qusheng jumped up and said angrily: "General Zhao Kuo, you might as well go to the ranch to grab them, seven can't be more!"

Zhao Kuo gave Yiqu Sheng a sideways glance: "Eight horses, can you make a sentence!"

Yi Qusheng nodded with a painful expression on his face: "Deal!"

Zhao Kuo smiled, swallowed the jerky in his mouth forcefully, and stretched out his tongue to roll all the scum around his lips in. He hiccupped comfortably, and said, "Just now, the scout army has sent a message." Report, the large army will officially enter the border of Dunhuang County starting tomorrow."

"Dunhuang County?" Yi Qusheng opened his eyes wide with some doubts, and said, "Although I, Yi Qusheng, am a big bastard, I have seen the map of our country of Zhao. How can there be any Dunhuang County?"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and patted Yi Qusheng on the shoulder: "The king said there is, so of course there is. Otherwise, what do you think we are here with [-] troops from the Bianqi Legion?"
