Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Snapped!"

There was a bright red slap mark on the commander's cheek, and two teeth flew out with blood.

"Answer the question, or die." Li Mu's voice was cold and calm.

The smell of blood filled the commander's mouth, and the fear of death filled his mind.

"Don't, don't fight! I am indeed the commander-in-chief."

"Which division of the Huns are under their command?"

"Lan, Lan's!"

"How many people did the Huns dispatch this time?"

"Fifty to fifty thousand cavalry!"

"What?" Li Mu was taken aback, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the chief commander's throat: "Is this true?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" The commander rolled his eyes when Li Mu's big hand pinched him.

Only then did Li Mu come back to his senses, he relaxed his hands a little, and shouted, "Say it quickly!"

A moment later, Li Mu threw the heavily bound Hun commander onto his saddle, and stepped onto the horse with a sinking face.

The Xiongnu's [-] cavalry marched south, which was twice as many as the number that the county guard of Yunzhong County had told Li Mu before!

Li Mu took a deep breath, his heart filled with uncontrollable anxiety.

With so many Huns going south, what kind of torture should the five counties in the north of Zhao suffer?

Li Mu no longer hesitated, and ordered loudly: "Quickly go back to the village and gather everyone, the battle ahead is urgent, we need to rush to the rescue of Yunzhong County as soon as possible!"

Under the shining of the setting sun, Li Mu led his own soldiers away in a hurry, leaving only a puff of smoke that gradually drifted away.

Chapter 2: Qin Wangji's Hope Has Come (Part [-])

June 259, 10 BC.

Xianyang.

The weather is slightly cool, but the Xianyang Palace hall is full of heat.

King Ji of Qin sat high on the throne, his old face looked radiant at the moment, and even his stooped body straightened a lot.

Not only Qin Wangji, but also many ministers of the Qin State present, more or less smiled.

To be honest, the atmosphere in the Qin court has been somewhat depressed for the past six months.

Although through diplomatic activities, Qi State was successfully drawn to his side, but because the Three Jin Alliance headed by Zhao State is like a mountain in the east of Qin State, Qin State still considers itself the strongest country in the Warring States Period even at this moment. , but was still suppressed, unable to move a step at all.

Tigers are also afraid of wolves.

but!

Such days are finally coming to an end!

A cheerful and pleasant news has just reached Xianyang City, and Qin Wangji called the meeting immediately after hearing this news.

The Huns went south in a large scale and invaded the northern border of Zhao State!

Qin actually still has a certain understanding of the tribe of the Huns.

Although it is not considered the strongest in the grassland, it is also one of the few powerful nomadic peoples on the northern grassland at the moment.

And through the channels of Yiqu people in Shangjun County of Qin State, the people of Qin State also learned another fact, that is, this time the Xiongnu seemed to have suffered a heavy snowstorm, so they couldn't wait to dispatch the whole army to the south, trying to recover their losses in the Central Plains.

For Zhao Guo, this is definitely something that cannot be underestimated.

So it's no wonder that Fan Sui, who is speaking at the moment, has such obvious excitement in his words: "Everyone, according to the reports from the spies, two thousand cavalry from the Zhao Kingdom's Northern Army have gone north to support Yanmen County. It is also gathering, and it seems that it also has the intention of going north."

Zhao State is now the number one confidant of Qin State, so Qin State has also deployed a large number of spies and eyeliners in Zhao State. It is impossible for Zhao State to deceive Qin State's eyeliner in Handan for any large-scale mobilization of troops.

Generally speaking, when Zhao Guo responded to the invasion of northern nomads, he would only let the northern frontier army attack on the spot, but this time even the central army was used. This proves that the Huns did bring Zhao Guoren Very big threat!

Fan Sui waved his hand vigorously, looking quite excited: "In this way, Daqin can go straight out of Wuguan, break through Chu State, and regain the two counties in the southeast!"

Of course Fan Sui would be very excited.

After all, the long-distance and short-range attack failed miserably for the first time, this was the pain in Fan Sui's heart.

Only by regaining everything that Qin State lost in the Battle of Changping, and then completely knocking Zhao State from its hegemony, otherwise, the pain in Fan Sui's heart will never be relieved!

Right now, this is a great opportunity!

It's not just Fan Sui, in fact, everyone here thinks so.

These people are important figures of the Qin State, and the fate of the Qin State is closely related to their fate. Without exception, they all hope that the Great Qin will be invincible and prosper day by day.

So An Guojun Zhao Zhu said almost immediately: "Fan Jun's words are good! Your Majesty, please send troops to conquer Chu and recover the two counties in the southeast!"

After An Guojun Zhao Zhu, several ministers of Qin State expressed their approval one after another, especially Wang Yan, the captain of the guard army, was very excited, with an expression of eagerness to try.

Qin Wangji glanced at the faces of the officials in the hall, then nodded secretly.

This is the character of the old Qin people. The old Qin people can fail, but they will never be defeated.

As long as the old Qin people seize a chance, then the old Qin people will definitely win the final victory!

Qin Wangji said slowly: "If that's the case, then use Wang Lu as the commander-in-chief and lead an army of 20 to Wuguan to attack Chu. We must defeat the Chu people and take back the two counties in the southeast of Daqin!"

Wang Yan stepped out, bowed to Qin Wangji, and said, "No!"

Qin Wangji turned his head again, and said to Fan Sui: "Fan Jun, you will send an envoy to Qi State, saying that Qi King and Da Qin will attack Chu together!"

Fan Sui agreed.

Qin Wangji thought for a while, and then asked: "Which county are you sending soldiers this time?"

Fan Sui replied: "Send troops from Bashu."

Due to the particularity of the Sichuan Basin, the Bashu soldiers were the only soldiers from the Qin State that were not transferred in the last Changping War, so it is only natural that the Bashu soldiers were deployed as the main force to fight this time.

Qin Wangji pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Send another [-] Guanzhong disciples to attack Chu together!"

Perhaps it was because the Bashu Basin was too supportive of people. The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers in the Bashu Basin had always been recognized as the last existence in Qin State. Qin Wangji was obviously not too relieved about this.

After arranging this matter, Qin Wangji looked at Wang Lu again and asked, "How do you want to conquer Chu?"
