Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Li Mu snorted, his expression softened a little, and he said: "Your task this time is mainly to keep an eye on the governor of Bactria for me. I don't want him to suddenly be behind me when I fight the Huns. Stab a knife. Of course, if you have the opportunity to take his county, you can try, but you have to remember that before you can capture the governor, your army must come from the Huns, not from us From Zhao, do you understand?"

Zhao Kuo smiled, patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, the governor, I will definitely complete the task!"

Li Mu's face suddenly became serious, and he patted Zhao Kuo's shoulder vigorously: "Remember, whenever you find that something is impossible to do, you must retreat immediately, understand? Since we brought such a If there are as many soldiers as possible, I hope that when I go back, I can bring back as many soldiers as possible.”

Zhao Kuo also straightened his face, and solemnly gave a military salute to Li Mu: "Please rest assured, the governor, the final general will not disgrace his life!"

Chapter 25 Li Mu is really just a warrior! (first update)

The next day.

Perseus ordered Ales to open the car window and stared at the desert outside, filled with emotion.

A year ago, when he set off from Bactria City, the capital of the Bactria region, into the desert, he felt both apprehensive and hopeful.

At that time, there was a full embassy following him, with hundreds of Seleucid warriors guarding him.

But now, when Perseus set foot on this desert again, his heart was full of hope.

As long as they can cross this desert and reach the Western Regions, Zhao's powerful cavalry corps will sweep across the entire Western Regions with a thunderous offensive and drive the Huns back to Mobei again.

Next, Zhao's army will continue to advance westward, and under the intelligence and secret support of the Perseus family, they will break through the Bactria region one by one, and then kill the damned Governor Diodotus.

After the Zhao army retreats, Perseus will stand up to clean up the mess and take control of the entire Bactria region.

After this step, as long as the current king of Seleucid, Antiochus II, appoints Perseus as the governor of Bactria, everything will be perfect.

"This is a little troublesome. Antiochus II is not an easy-talking king. By the way, Queen Laudis has heard that she likes young and strong men recently, as well as golden jewels. Maybe we can talk to him here Move your mind."

While thinking silently in his heart, Perseus smiled.

As for whether the Zhao cavalry can win, in Perseus's view, there is no suspense at all.

Needless to say, the Huns were the defeated generals of the Zhao people. Although the army in the Bactria area was considered brave, it can be seen from the previous battle that the fighting power was not as good as that of the Huns. There is simply no reason to lose in the Perseus family's internal and external cooperation.

What Perseus hopes most now is to be able to rush back to Bactria as soon as possible, and then mobilize the power of his own family to get him such a vote.

As early as when he left a year ago, Perseus's family had been suppressed and breathless, and now Perseus is eager to know the current situation of his family.

Perseus looked at Ales, hesitated for a while, but still didn't speak.

In the eyes of Perseus, Ales is actually not worth much, just a pure slave.But the problem was that Ales had a reason why Perseus had to bring him by his side.

Without Ales, Perseus would not even be able to communicate with Zhao Guoren.

Marching in the desert is very, very uncomfortable. The temperature in the morning and dusk is frighteningly low, and the midday sun in spring can't actually provide much temperature.

Fortunately, a few days later, the first oasis appeared.

Where there are deserts, of course there are oases.

The oasis is not big, it can only accommodate about a few hundred people.

At this moment, although there are still some houses in the oasis, they are completely empty.

Such a scene is actually what Perseus can imagine. After all, the people who live in these oases are generally not good people. Seeing a mighty army approaching, naturally the soles of their feet are already smeared .

But after the carriage drove into the oasis, Perseus knew he was wrong.

On the trees on both sides of the road in the oasis, there are many dead bodies hanging here and there. At a rough glance, there should be no less than a hundred.

And under these trees, there are hundreds of people kneeling there tremblingly. Judging from their clothes, it is obvious that these guys are the aborigines of the oasis.

A group of Zhao cavalry surrounded these aborigines, it looked like a group of tigers surrounded a group of shivering sheep.

What surprised Perseus was that Li Mu and a group of slaves appeared beside these slaves.

"Businessman?" Perseus couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Although Perseus was rarely able to go out when he was in Handan, the daughter-in-law could still go shopping.

Who is the most among the women?Of course it's not the aristocratic lords, or even if the aristocratic lords go shopping, they won't be too ostentatious.

Therefore, in this era, the main group of visiting women and consuming among women is the businessmen of Zhao State.

Since everyone is of the same interest, Perseus is naturally no stranger to this group of businessmen, and there are even some familiar faces among them.

"parking!"

After a while, Perseus got out of the carriage with the help of Ales, and walked towards Li Mu and his party not far away.

Li Mu obviously noticed Perseus and glanced at Perseus, but he didn't say much, but continued to have a lively conversation with the group of merchants in front of him.

Perseus asked Ales very curiously, "Ales, what are they talking about?"

After listening for a while, Ales' expression became a little strange, and he said, "Master, they are discussing the ownership of this oasis."

"Discussion?" Perseus said a little puzzled, "Isn't this oasis owned by Zhao?"

"Yes." Ales nodded, and said: "From what Li Mu said, he seems to want to rent it out. It is to let these merchants bid for the auction. As long as the price is the highest, they can get this oasis for five years. time."

"Lease?" Perseus froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Let it out for five years? Just such a small oasis?"

In Perseus' view, these small oases were too small to provide the resources to support a garrison.

If there is no garrison, then the safety of the oasis cannot be guaranteed at all.

Who would pay to rent a place where safety cannot be guaranteed?

"This Governor Li Mu is a warrior after all, and it seems that he really doesn't know anything about these local affairs." Perseus shook his head, let out a very low sneer, and then said to Ales beside him: "There is no need to stay here any longer, let's go."

Perseus was really worried that if he continued to listen, he would really laugh out loud, which might make Li Mu angry.

But that's okay, since Zhao Guoren is so naive, Perseus is more at ease.

Ales opened his mouth, glanced at Li Mu and the group of merchants around him, and did not speak, but silently supported Perseus and walked towards the carriage not far away.

And behind them, Zhao's merchants shouted their prices one after another.

"Ten thousand dollars!"

"Thirteen thousand dollars!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"
