Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Hou Sheng laughed, and patted his confidant on the shoulder: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's the same if you report it tomorrow."

Under the puzzled eyes of his cronies, Hou Sheng's carriage slowly left.

Hou Sheng sat on the carriage, closed his eyes and felt the slight, almost imperceptible summer breeze blowing on his body, and there was only one thought in his mind.

"This King Zhao really has no plans!"

Chapter 876 Li Mu's New Plan (First Update)

Yiqu City.

Strictly speaking, this place can no longer be called a city, after all, it has been completely burned into ruins.

Yi Qusheng stood in front of the city on a horse, dazed in a daze.

This used to be the main entrance of Yiqu City. In Yiqu Sheng's mind, he can even recall that after he broke through Xianyang, he led the Yiqu cavalry with carts of spoils to pass through here to accept all righteousness. The cheers of other people returned to the scene in Yiqu City.

But as Yiqu City was burnt to ashes by Wang Jian, such a scene could no longer be realized after all.

As the former king of Yiqu, this result is undoubtedly very difficult for Yiqu Sheng to accept.

There was a sound of hoofbeats, and Li Mu rode to Yi Qusheng's side.

"Why, are you still thinking about this?"

Yi Qu Sheng glanced at Li Mu, and tried his best to force out a wry smile: "Governor, this is the former capital of my Yi Qu country, how can I remain indifferent to this?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, this city is not without a chance of revival. The king's order has already come down, as long as this battle is over, you will be canonized as Lord Yiqu."

"Really?" Yiqu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting such a result: "But I didn't make any contribution."

Li Mu smiled and said, "No, your existence itself is a credit."

What Li Mu said was the truth.

As the leader chosen by Zhao Dan to be in charge of Zhao's northward expansion and westward expansion strategies, Li Mu naturally knew Zhao Dan's policies very well.

For these alien races on the prairie, it is useless to rely solely on killing. History has proved that defeating the Huns and the Turks, and defeating the Turks and the Mongols, after thousands of years, it will not be able to solve it except for the Central Plains Dynasty to fall into war after war. question.

It is necessary to find a way to integrate and assimilate these nomadic peoples on the grassland into Zhao, otherwise it will be inevitable to follow the old path of history in the future.

As for how to integrate, first of all, those who are dissatisfied and want to rebel must be killed, and then a group of leaders who are willing to accept the centralization must be supported, such as Xianshan and Yiqusheng.

Under such circumstances, it is true that Yiqu Sheng did not make enough credit for Zhao Guo to make him a king, but he was still able to confer this title, because what Zhao Dan himself valued was not Yiqu Sheng's military exploits, but righteousness. Qu Sheng had the aura of King Yi Qu on his head.

The news of the lordship undoubtedly made Yiqu Sheng feel a lot better. After all, no matter what, he was still able to live in this old land, which was already a very good result.

Hundreds of years of life have made Yiqu people gradually become a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people, and they have also begun to have the concept that their homeland is hard to leave.

As for things like competing with Zhao Guo, Yiqu Sheng feels that he is not tired of living yet.

The appearance of Zhentianlei and grenade made Yiqusheng know one fact clearly, that is, there is probably no country in this world that can continue to stop Zhao Guo's footsteps, neither the city nor the cavalry.

Yi Qusheng let out a long breath, and said to Li Mu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

The reason why I want to thank Li Mu is because Yi Qusheng knows very well in his heart that if Li Mu hadn't spoken for him, then maybe he would be taken into captivity in Handan City like the previous Aries King.

Li Mu smiled, and did not follow Yi Qusheng's words, but said: "After you are crowned king, you can find a way to rebuild this city."

"Rebuild the city?" Yi Qusheng had a surprised expression on his face: "Your Majesty really agrees?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's natural. If there is no big city, how will Zhao's officials manage this huge piece of land in the future."

Yi Qusheng nodded and said, "That's true."

After being silent for a while, Yi Qusheng suddenly said: "Governor, please speak to the king, just talk about the matter of becoming the king, let's put it off for a while."

"What?" Li Mu was obviously taken aback by Yi Qusheng's words, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you doing this?"

Yiqu Sheng looked at the ruins of Yiqu City in front of him, slowly shook his head, and said: "This city is the former capital of my Yiqu people, but now it has been burned to the ground by the people of Qin. If this enmity If I don’t report it, how can I, Yiqu Sheng, be the ruler of this Yiqu people? Only when Qin is completely wiped out can I accept the position of Yiqu Lord with peace of mind.”

Li Mu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said, "Okay."

There was another sound of horseshoes, and Tu Xie, the vanguard of Zhao Guo's cavalry, rode up and saluted the two of them: "Governor, General Yiqu, the camp has been set up."

Just three or four miles away behind them, a large camp that could accommodate fifty thousand Zhao cavalry troops had just been built.

Li Mu glanced at Tu Xie and said with a smile, "Do you have any comments?"

Tu Xie chuckled twice, and said: "There are still some small things that are not convinced, but please rest assured, General, I have already taught them severely."

Li Mu laughed and said: "This is actually understandable. After all, to be honest, Handan suddenly issued an order to withdraw the troops, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart, let alone those who need military merits to fight for themselves and their families. people."

The Zhao cavalry army led by Li Mu has just arrived here.

A few days ago, a peace agreement was delivered to Li Mu.

In this agreement, it is clearly stipulated that Xihe County is owned by Qin State, while Beidi County is owned by Zhao State. At the same time, the war between Qin and Zhao has also temporarily ended.

Now that the war is over, it seems unnecessary for Li Mu to stay in Guanzhong. Therefore, Li Mu, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to find a decisive battle with Wang Jian, had to take his troops northward and return to Beidi County, that is, In this piece of Yiqu country's hometown.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that there will be some dissatisfaction among Zhao Jun's cavalry.

After all, most people didn't get anything after this battle, which is definitely not convincing.

To put it bluntly, these guys from the Fringe Cavalry Legion have long been accustomed to winning one after another, and now it is not so refreshing for them to go home before they have completely won.

Fortunately, Li Mu's army management has always been extremely strict, so no matter how dissatisfied he was, no one dared to show it in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled, and said to Tu Xie, "Tell those guys to stop complaining, their chance will come soon."

"Oh?" Tu Xie immediately regained his energy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What kind of opportunity is it, please give me your instructions."

If there are some people in the Border Cavalry Legion who are most eager to make meritorious service, then the Hun cavalry headed by Tu Xie is definitely one of them.

After all, these Huns had just surrendered to the Zhao State not long ago. First, they must prove their loyalty to the new king. Second, they also need military exploits to make their families live a better life.

One must know that before the start of the war, Li Mu had people spread the rewards to the entire army.

Want cattle and sheep?No problem, take the enemy's head in exchange.

Want ranch?No problem, take the enemy's head in exchange.

Cattle, sheep and pastures are life for grassland people!

Without cattle, sheep and pastures, it is impossible for any prairie people to survive the winter without incident.

This is why Tu Xie immediately cheered up when he heard that there was still a chance to fight.
