Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

During this month, Li Mu led [-] cavalry under his command to sweep almost the northern half of the Western Regions, completely uprooting most of the Huns' power.

At this moment, they had just ended a great war and wiped out a 5000-strong Hun Wanqi.

Although the Huns like to use Wanqi as a unit, this does not mean that the Huns have a full [-] cavalry.

Even in the most prosperous period of Maodun Shanyu in history, Wanqi directly under Shanyu usually only had about 9000 to 8000 people, while some relatively large tribes, Wanqi, had 6000 to [-] people, and even smaller , and the most common Wanqi usually has [-] people.

"This is the right captain of the Huns?" Li Mu looked at the head that was being picked on the point of the spear by Yi Qusheng not far in front of him, and his expression was a little strange.

Since Uwe Shanyu unified the Xiongnu, this ambitious Shanyu has carried out drastic reorganization of the Xiongnu's official system.

As Shan Yu, Uwe was naturally the supreme leader and military commander of the Huns.

Under Shan Yu is the left and right virtuous king, and the Xiongnu respected the left, so the Zuo virtuous king was appointed by the current Hun prince with the honorary title of "Tuqi".

Under the virtuous king of the left and right is the king of the left and right Guli, and after that is the captain of the left and right.

In other words, Li Mu actually eliminated a right captain who was considered a respectable figure in the Xiongnu in just one encounter?

"It seems that the Huns are really weak." Li Mu shook his head, his face inevitably a little disappointed.

These Huns were too careless to fight.

Just a formation charge of armored cavalry, the Xiongnu Wanqi in front of them has been completely defeated, and all that needs to be done next is a long escape and pursuit.

What puzzled Li Mu was, where did the main force of the Huns go?

It was obvious that Berseus kept saying that the Huns were in the Western Regions, but after the two-month campaign, all the troops who fought were small groups of the Huns, but the real main force of the Huns was still missing.

Suddenly, Li Muruo felt something and looked in a certain direction behind him.

There was only a burst of smoke and dust, and then a dozen carriages stopped not far away.

Almost at the moment when the carriage stopped, more than a dozen figures hurriedly jumped off the carriage and came towards Li Mu's direction.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

These people are none other than the rich man in Li Mu's heart.

All the merchants rushed to Li Mu in a hurry, couldn't wait to salute Li Mu, and then hurriedly said: "I heard that the governor captured many Xiongnu soldiers?"

Li Mu stretched out his hand and pointed forward with a smile: "Seeing is believing."

All the merchants turned their heads to look, and they saw groups of Hun cavalry with their hands up, dejectedly heading towards not far away under the escort of Zhao soldiers.

A rough count, the number of people is at least 1000 and more than 2000.

All the merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, and some impatient couldn't help muttering: "It seems a bit rare."

Li Mu couldn't help but twitched slightly when he heard this.

What the hell, when the Huns are Chinese cabbage, my friend?

Li Mu coughed and looked at a certain middle-aged man beside him.

According to his own introduction, this middle-aged man is an "auctioneer" who belongs to the Shaofu sect.

Although the name sounds somewhat weird, it must be admitted that this guy is quite useful.

The auctioneer coughed heavily, drawing everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Everyone, two thousand strong Hun slaves are waiting to be claimed by you! As long as you give a suitable price, then These slaves will become the best laborers in your ranch! Of course, if you train a little more, they will also become the most qualified dead soldiers! Also, with so many Hun war horses, don’t you all Tempted?"

"Price? Don't worry, the price is negotiable. Come, let's talk here"

Soon, the middle-aged auctioneer took a group of eager merchants aside.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, an ordinary-looking Zhao Guo officer appeared in front of Li Mu and saluted Li Mu: "Great Governor."

Li Mu stared at the officer in front of him, recognized that the officer was the torture master in his army, and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Guojun said in a low voice: "Going back to the governor, I have already asked the location of the King's court of the Huns."

Li Mu regained his energy, and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

For Li Mu, the most critical point of this operation is actually to find the royal court of the Huns.

The royal court of the Huns moved along with Uwe Shanyu, so if you find the royal court of the Huns, it is tantamount to finding the new leader of the Huns, Uwe Shanyu.

As long as the King's Court of the Huns is defeated, the scourge of the Huns will naturally be solved.

The Hu Yiwei paused for a moment, and said: "Can I ask the governor to take out the map?"

Li Mu ordered people to take out the map, and then spread it out on the spot. After squinting his eyes and looking back and forth on the map, this Hu Yiwei finally landed his finger on one of the places with certainty: "Great Governor, please." Look, this is where the King's Court of the Huns is located. According to the confessions of several commanders under the captain's command, this year, Uwe Shanyu, the Hun, led the members of the King's Court to spend the winter here."

Li Mu stared intently for a while, then muttered a name in a low voice: "Quhai seems to be not very far away."

In this era, people usually like to call some big lakes "sea", just like the Qinghai Lake is now called the West Sea by the Zhao people in later generations. This big lake called Qiquhai has a name in later generations called "sea". Jaisang Lake".

Li Mu did some calculations, and found that it would only take about ten days to go to Qiequhai from his current location.

Li Mu raised his head and asked, "Does the King of the Huns know the news of our army's attack?"

Hu Yiwei replied: "Uwei Shanyu already knew about it, and asked all the Xiongnu troops to withdraw from the Western Regions and gather at Qiequhai. This Xiongnu Wanqi also encountered our army by chance when they were retreating towards Qiequhai."

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the auctioneer behind him who was still busy bargaining with many merchants, and quickly issued a new order.

"Okay, let's set up camp and rest. The whole army will set off tomorrow morning and head straight for Qiequhai!"

Chapter 32 The Huns These Years (Second More)

And Quhai is actually a very new name.

The reason why it is very new is that the name has only been adopted for only a year.

The origin of the name of Qiequhai is actually very simple, because it was occupied by a Hun official named Qiequ, so it was called Qiequhai.

Compared with Lake Baikal in Beihai, the old nest of the Huns in Mobei, the temperature here is slightly higher in winter, and it is more suitable for winter.

Historically, this place was once the territory of the Mongolian Zhungeer Ministry of the Qing Dynasty. Later, the Tsarist Russian Empire forced the Qing government to sign the Sino-Russian division of the Northwest Boundary in 1864 by means of diplomatic threats and fraud. rule.

At this moment, the lake water in Qiquhai has begun to thaw, and it is a lush green scene.A broad river, the Irtysh River, flows from the south, making this great lake full of vitality.

Surrounding Qiaquhai is green woodland, and on the east side of the lake, a large area of ​​forest has been cut down. Many rafts are going back and forth on the lake. It is the Huns who are fishing on the lake, and there are many big children riding on it. The pony galloped back and forth by the lake, and some younger children were playing by the lake.

And to the east, about five or six miles away from the lake, thousands of densely packed tents are spread all over the green grassland, and countless livestock are grazing the turf leisurely around, and occasionally there are Hun men who are proud of themselves. He galloped past the horse with the woman in his arms, showing off to the surrounding shepherds Dasheng, and there were waves of friendly or unhappy shouts, and even a few small stones.

All in all, this is a spring full of vitality.

In the center of these camps, there is a group of tents that are more orderly and larger than other chaotic camps. The court of the Huns that Li Mu had been thinking about is now.
