Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Yi Qusheng opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to understand what Zhao Kuo meant, and then he laughed out loud.

"By the way, General Zhao Kuo, according to your statement, how many counties will we have in Zhao after this year?"

"I'll tell you if there are five more Xihai horses."

"General Zhao Kuo, can you stop talking about horses, our friendship is so worthless?"

"No friendship."

""

Li Mu, who was in the handsome tent, just came out with a group of people. Li Mu seemed to be in a very good mood. He kept laughing and chatting with this group of people, and even patted some people on the shoulder. Affectionate look.

This scene attracted Yi Qusheng's attention. He observed the scene in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but bumped Zhao Kuo's shoulder strangely: "General Zhao Kuo, aren't these people merchants?"

Zhao Kuo took out another wine jug from nowhere, and was squinting his eyes and drinking it with gusto. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the handsome account, then casually replied, "Yes!" Ah, representatives from the top [-] chambers of commerce in the Zhao Kingdom are all gathered."

Yi Qusheng was a little puzzled: "This is a war. What are these merchants doing here? Is there still business that can't be done? They can't buy corpses, right?"

Zhao Kuo opened his mouth, let out a mouthful of alcohol, and laughed: "Business? That's a really big deal! Speaking of it, only an unworldly king like our king can come up with such a big deal. It's a deal."

"Your Majesty? Do you want to do business?" Yi Qusheng really aroused his curiosity, and hurriedly said, "General Zhao Kuo, what's going on here, tell me about it carefully?"

Zhao Kuo didn't pay attention to Yi Qusheng, but continued to taste the good wine in the flagon with gusto, and after a while, he exhaled a long breath of strong alcohol.

"There are three more West Seahorses."

Chapter 24 Zhao Kuo's Mission (Second Change)

Soon, a group of businessmen were sent away by Li Mu.

As soon as Li Mu raised his head, he happened to see Zhao Kuo here, so he stretched out his hand towards Zhao Kuo, and then walked into the handsome tent.

Zhao Kuo stood up and patted Yi Qusheng on the shoulder with a smile: "Remember, the general will see those horses tomorrow."

Yiqu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help shouting: "But you haven't said anything yet!"

Zhao Kuo laughed, and walked straight away.

After walking into the big tent, the whole person's face became serious in an instant, and he saluted Li Mu: "Great Governor."

Li Mu glanced at Zhao Kuo: "Have you been drinking?"

Zhao Kuo smiled a little embarrassedly: "I can't miss anything."

Li Mu shook his head, and said: "The order goes on, drinking alcohol is prohibited in the army from tomorrow, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by the military order."

Zhao Kuo responded with awe in his heart, and quickly changed the subject: "I don't know why the governor called me here, why?"

Li Mu knocked on the table in front of him, and said: "Now the army is about to arrive in Dunhuang County. You are also someone who has read the previous information on the Western Regions. You should know that the situation in the Western Regions is very complicated. There are many small countries. , was harmed by the Huns again, no one can tell what the situation is now. I plan to send a vanguard army to scout for information, who do you think can take on this task?"

Zhao Kuo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The governor, the general is willing to go."

Li Mu looked up at Zhao Kuo, and said, "As a lieutenant general in the army, it's not right for you to do this scouting job. Let Yiqu win."

Zhao Kuo became a little anxious this time.

After all, this continuous march has been going on for a month. Every day, besides riding a horse, I will be riding a horse. Anyone will become impatient.

Now it is hard to have a party to play, which is simply too rare for Zhao Kuo, how is he willing to give up this opportunity?

If you just follow Li Mu like this, don't get the chance to fight the enemy and just be a bystander or something, that would be too aggrieved.

So Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "Great Governor, Yiqu Sheng has never been prudent enough, let me do it."

Li Mu couldn't help laughing, and gave Zhao Kuo a hard look: "Are you the general or am I?"

Zhao Kuo shut his mouth embarrassingly, suddenly startled in his heart, he was afraid that he had drunk too much wine, and dared to contradict Mr. Wu Xiang?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo's original drunkenness has gone for more than half in an instant, and his back has even begun to sweat faintly.

Li Mu paused, then suddenly pointed to a map in front of his desk and said, "Come here and have a look."

Zhao Kuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately moved over to observe the map carefully.

After a while, Zhao Kuo raised his head with some doubts, and said, "Governor, haven't you seen this map a while ago?"

This is actually a map of the Western Regions and a map of the Batkeria region.

Although he has worked very hard to explore, Zhao Guohu Yiwei's intelligence acquisition for the Western Regions is still lacklustre over the years.

After all, the Western Regions are too chaotic, and it is difficult to identify the direction in the vast desert. Coupled with factors such as language barriers and state power changes, this often leads to maps drawn by two groups of people before and after Hu Yiwei. Self-contradictory situations.

Under such circumstances, this map was actually drawn with reference to Hu Yiwei's version of the map, and then added the confessions of Perseus's subordinates.

Li Mu tapped the map in front of him, and said, "This map actually has some problems with its accuracy."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "It's natural."

Li Mu seemed to be hesitating for something, he didn't speak for a long time, he seemed a little hesitant.

Zhao Kuo didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand there and wait.

After a while, Li Mu finally made up his mind and said, "Zhao Kuo, now I want you to carry out a risky mission, do you dare to do it?"

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then beamed with joy, and said, "Just do what the governor tells you!"

For Zhao Kuo, he is really not afraid of the difficulty of the task now, but he is afraid that there is no task for him to perform.

Li Mu glanced at Zhao Kuo and said, "Do you know the true identity of this Perseus?"

Zhao Kuo froze for a moment, then said, "Isn't he the envoy of Seleucus?"

"No." Li Mu shook his head meaningfully, and said, "He is indeed a Seleucid, but he is not the envoy of the Seleucid Kingdom, but the mastermind of the governor of Bactria, Theodotus."

"Huh?" Zhao Kuo was a little confused.

Li Mudao: "To put it simply, this Perseus is the mastermind of a Seleucid prince, and now this prince is going to use the troops of our Zhao State to drive away the Huns, and then take the opportunity to occupy the Western Regions, so that he will have strength Stand up for yourself as king."

Only then did Zhao Kuo suddenly realize: "So the task entrusted to me by the governor must have something to do with this Di, Di?"

"Not Di people!" Li Mu gave Zhao Kuo a funny look, and then said: "I will give you ten thousand cavalry, and when tomorrow starts, you will lead this army to leave the army and march along this place, here, and here. Then, after crossing this mountain pass, you should be able to enter the territory of the governor of Bactria."

Zhao Kuo listened, his face couldn't help shining with excitement, and said: "Understood the governor, so my next task should be to only take the county seat of Bactria, and then take this Bactria Governor Tria is captured, right?"

Li Mu paused, and looked at Zhao Kuo with a strange expression: "It seems that you have indeed drunk too much, otherwise you should not go, I will think about other candidates."

"Don't be Dudu!" Zhao Kuo panicked at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Dudu, Zhao Kuo will do what the Dudu says, no matter what!"
