Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Li Mu's expression changed again, and he said, "Where's the commander in chief?"

A regretful expression appeared on Tu Xie's face, and he said, "He was injured too badly, he is already dead."

Li Mu shook his head and remained silent.

If the information brought by Tu Xie is true, there is no doubt that the Yuezhi people's rule over the Hexi Corridor has come to an end.

Next, this land may belong to the emerging Wusun and the Huns.

Tu Xie suddenly said: "Jing Lue Shi, this is actually a good opportunity for us!"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What chance?"

Tu Xie said: "Now that the Huns have just been defeated by us, and the Wusun people have been seriously injured in the war with the Yuezhi people, if we take the opportunity to go west at this time, then the vast land from Helan Mountain to Qilian Mountain may be destroyed. It will be in our pocket!"

After hearing what Tu Xie said, Li Mu couldn't help feeling a little moved.

Speaking of which, Tu Xie's words really made sense.

The current Hexi Corridor, an incomparably fertile land, is only occupied by a group of weak chickens who are completely vulnerable to Zhao Guo!

If they can take the opportunity to attack and take this piece of land into their pocket, wouldn't the grand scene of "flying with both wings" on the huge map behind Li Mu be achieved immediately?

Li Mu was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, you go down first."

As soon as Tu Xie heard Li Mu's words, he became anxious, and quickly said: "But"

"There is nothing wrong." Li Mu interrupted Tu Xie, and said to Tu Xie: "It will be winter soon, do you want our troops to fight the Huns and Wusun people in the ice and snow in winter?"

Tu Xie was stunned for a moment, then saluted Li Mu and exited the study.

Li Mu looked at Tu Xie's leaving back, and couldn't help but shook his head. Although this Hun who was originally a eagle shooter has more or less changed the innate sloppy habits of some nomads, the impatience After all, your personality cannot be changed overnight.

In fact, as far as Li Mu is concerned, why doesn't he wish to send troops to the west of Helan Mountain immediately and completely capture the entire Hexi Corridor.

But the problem is that it is not only the Helan Mountains that are blocking Li Mu's westward march, nor is it just the coming winter.

According to Zhao Dan's previous order, Li Mu can mobilize a maximum of 3000 troops to attack the grassland if there is no foreign enemy invasion. If there are more than 3000 troops, it must be approved by Handan.

So Li Mu quickly picked up the pen and began to write the memorial.

After a while, a confidant was summoned into the study, and then left with this memorial.

This memorial will be sent to Handan as quickly as possible. The content above is actually very simple, that is, Li Mu hopes to get Zhao Dan's approval after the spring of next year, and mobilize the main force of Zhao's Northern Frontier Cavalry Corps to launch a large-scale attack on the Hexi Corridor. scale attack.

In order to win more support from Handan, Li Mu specially clarified two points in the memorial.

First, the Border Cavalry Corps does not need any military support from Handan, it only needs [-] cavalry from the headquarters of the Border Cavalry Corps.

Second, if this battle is won, then the entire Hexi Corridor is expected to be determined by one battle, and it will be completely included in the territory of Zhao State.

Even so, Li Mu still had no idea whether the plan would be approved.

When he returned to Handan to attend the New Year's Day dinner a while ago, Li Mu visited a large number of senior Zhao military generals, including Lian Po and Pang Nuan, as well as other high-ranking Zhao soldiers, including Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng.

Judging from the feedback obtained from these visits, it is obvious that the current high-ranking officials of Zhao State are not very enthusiastic about expanding the territory on the northern grasslands.

But now this opportunity is indeed very rare. If you miss it, you don't know when the next time you have such an opportunity.

Li Mu walked out of the room, looking at the bleak autumn scene in front of him, thinking silently in his heart.

"Perhaps, I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

Chapter 656 Xianyang secret discussion (third change)

Xianyang Palace.

It was already winter, snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, the earth was completely covered in silver, and two deep ruts appeared on the ground when the wheels of the carriage pressed against the snow, but it was covered by the heavy snow after a while.

This is the first snow since winter in Guanzhong.

In the midst of this heavy snow, a carriage hurriedly drove into the gate of Xianyang Palace.

The person sitting in the carriage was none other than Lu Buwei, who had recently been recognized as one of the three giants of Qin along with Yangquan Jun Mi Chen and Gang Cheng Jun Cai Ze.

The expression on Lu Buwei's face was very serious, but he was secretly thinking about something.

To be honest, Lu Buwei's recent experience is actually a bit unsatisfactory.

Ever since he secretly formed an alliance with Cai Ze, Lu Buwei began to think of ways to bring down Mi Chen.

But the problem is that the veterans of the three dynasties like Mi Chen, who have strong support in the court and palace, really can't be brought down at will if they want to.

And Lu Buwei was very clear in his heart that although the prince had a lot of trust in him, the prince was actually somewhat hesitant and concerned about whether Mi Chen should be removed.

So Lu Buwei actually lied to Cai Ze that day, because the matter of bringing down Mi Chen could not be regarded as the prince's order.

But what reassures Lu Buwei is that, after all, Cai Ze is the one who is most alienated from the prince among the Big Three, so it is impossible for Cai Ze to get close to the prince and expose his lies.

It's just that there is no wall through which the wind can pass through in this world. If you want to bring down Mi Chen, you still need to work harder.

As long as Mi Chen can be brought down, then Lu Buwei will be able to become the royal doctor among the three lords, and if he finds a way to get rid of Cai Ze at that time, then the entire Qin State will be Lu Buwei's world.

By then, hum

Lu Buwei thought about it, and a smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Buwei stepped into the main hall of Xianyang Palace. To his surprise, there were only three people in the main hall of Xianyang Palace today besides himself.

Prince, Mi Chen and Cai Ze.

This made Lu Buwei a little nervous immediately.

Did something big happen?

Speaking of it, whether it is Lu Buwei, Mi Chen or Cai Ze, these three giants are actually quite busy at ordinary times, and the time they can get together is the court meeting.

Now that the crown prince summoned the three of them together, there should be something very important to announce.

Lu Buwei did not dare to be negligent, and bowed respectfully to the prince in front of him: "I have seen the prince."

The prince looked at Lu Buwei in front of him, and smiled very kindly: "You don't need to be polite, please sit down."

The Crown Prince of Qin seems to be more accustomed to the role of a superior than before, and looks more like a real King of Qin.

Of course, in Lu Buwei's opinion, this prince is actually far inferior to his grandfather Qin Wangji, even his father Qin Wangzhu is far inferior.

But it is precisely because of this that Qin has room for Lu Buwei to operate, and it has to be said that this is a good thing.
