Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

So Lian Po confidently wrote such a sentence in the memorial sent back to Handan: "Before the end of the year, South Korea will become history!"

"Do you still want to become a famous person in history?" This is what Yi Qusheng asked Tu Xie.

Tu Xie nodded very seriously, and then asked a little puzzled: "But does our arrest of these Qiang people here have something to do with becoming a famous figure in history?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Yiqu Sheng said viciously: "If we don't arrest these Qiang people to ask for directions, how can we find that dead traitor Yiqubo?"

Tu Xie thought about it, and seemed to think that this sentence made sense, but obviously he still looked a little puzzled: "If that's the case, it's enough to arrest one or two leaders to ask for directions, why do you have to arrest the entire tribe? To be taken away?"

At this moment, Tu Xie and Yi Qusheng are leading a Zhao army cavalry of a thousand men, escorting a Qiang tribe with more than 5000 people, and slowly marching towards the east.

Yi Qusheng let out a hey, and said to Tu Xie, "You should know that our general is going to conquer the Western Regions in the future."

Tu Xie nodded and said: "Of course, I also hope to follow the general to conquer the Western Regions, and then go to see that Parthian Empire!"

Yi Qusheng smiled and said: "You should know that it is thousands of miles away to go to the Western Regions. If you don't have enough supplies, it will be difficult to persist there."

Tu Xie continued to nod: "General, what you said is very reasonable, but it has nothing to do with these Qiang people, right?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Yi Qusheng looked at Tu Xie with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said after fully enjoying the pleasure of crushing IQ: "Think about it, as long as you build a few cities in Qilian Mountain Is it? As long as there is a city, people who come and go in the future can have a supply place, and in this way, the Central Plains and the Western Regions will be completely connected."

"At that time, we will be able to sell the silk from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, or even further to the west, and then make a lot of money from those Westerners. Do you understand? The general said that this road It will be called the Silk Road from now on!"

Tu Xie nodded half-understood, and suddenly said: "Since Westerners have a lot of money, then we just need to grab it directly, and do business with them."

Yiqu was dumbfounded.

After a few breaths, Yi Qusheng kicked Tu Xie's ass heavily with his riding boot, kicking Tu Xie off the horse.

"You talk too much!"

Tu Xie chuckled, and got back on the horse once again. For him who had lived on horseback for decades, Yiqu Sheng's kick could not cause any harm at all.

"General Yiqu, you haven't answered me why we want to arrest these Qiang people."

Yi Qusheng rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he decided to explain patiently, after all, that would have Li Mu's usual demeanor: "Didn't I just say that if you want to connect to the Western Regions, you must build a city. There must be manpower, use your pig brain to think carefully, where does this manpower come from? Of course, if you want, you can let your fellow Huns build the city."

Tu Xie looked at the long line of Hun captives in front of him, and then carefully recalled the scenes he saw in Xincheng last year, couldn't help shivering, and said with a dry smile: "General Yiqu is joking." , Huns from Yiqu, they are all from Zhao now! But general, I think the number of people arrested this time is still a bit small, and we will continue to arrest them in a few days, yes, the more people we arrest, the better!"

Tu Xie gritted his teeth with a ferocious face, and the way he looked at these Qiang people changed.

After a while, Tu Xie thought of another question: "General Yiqu, didn't you follow General Zhao Kuo to fight the people of Qin? Why did you come to the General again?"

Yi Qusheng chuckled twice, looked left and right, and then came towards Tu Xie in a low voice.

In Li Mu's initial arrangement, Yi Qusheng should have followed Zhao Kuo to guard Beidi County and harass the people of Qin.

But after Li Mu left, the contradiction between Yi Qusheng and Zhao Kuo began to emerge.

As a very "orthodox" Zhao Guoren, Zhao Kuo still has some prejudices against barbarians like Yiqusheng in his heart.

The reason why Li Mu has no prejudice is because he has been stationed in Gaoquesai with Hu soldiers on the border for many years and has dealt with them.

But Zhao Kuo from Handan obviously does not have such an environment, so Zhao Kuo is more willing to use those Zhao Guo cavalry generals who are as "orthodox" as Zhao Kuo.

Under such circumstances, Huren generals and officers were inevitably left out and excluded.

Half a month after Li Mu left, the entire army was basically decided by General Zhao and the officers, and Hu generals like Yi Qusheng had been completely marginalized.

So Yi Qusheng simply applied for a transfer order in a fit of anger. It happened that Zhao Kuo looked at Yi Qusheng, the leader of the barbarian, and it was a bit annoying. The two sides hit it off and Yi Qusheng came to Li Mu's side.

"This..." Tu Xie couldn't help being a little stunned, and said after a while, "But we are all from Zhao."

"The Zhao people are right." Yi Qusheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "But people like General Zhao Kuo don't really like us very much. In fact, General Zhao Kuo is not bad. I went to When I was in Handan, few of the important ministers in Longtai in Handan thought highly of me, don’t look polite on the surface, but that kind of discriminatory look, hey, damn it, I want to beat them up when I think about it.”

Tu Xie couldn't help but angrily said: "We all serve the king, why should they discriminate against us like this?"

Yi Qusheng shook his head and said: "You don't know, I also saw Handan people discriminating against Jinyang people, Jinyang people discriminating against Zhongshan people, Zhongshan people discriminating against Shangdang people, Shangdang people discriminating against Hedong people, and Hedong people Discriminate against Xihe people”

Tu Xie was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help opening his mouth. After a long while, he said: "But I have also met many Zhao people, why haven't I seen this problem?"

Yi Qusheng sneered and said, "That's because you are too young and haven't climbed enough. Just watch, after you have a certain status, you will gradually feel this kind of discrimination."

Tu Xie thought about it for a long time, and then realized something: "So, General, what do you mean, if we Hu people want to become high officials in Zhao State in the future, we may be opposed by those orthodox Zhao State people?"

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

Tu Xie snorted in displeasure, and said, "Is there no solution?"

Yi Qusheng smiled and said: "Of course, the current king is very wise. I think that as long as he can make contributions, the king will definitely not begrudge rewards."

Tu Xie said: "Don't lie to me, I was also a personal guard of the Aries King back then, and I still know a little about these things. If the king's ministers in the Longtai speak ill of us, then we Huren will not be able to get in." go."

Yi Qusheng nodded and said: "That's right. So we need someone with enough weight to speak for us in Handan, understand?"

Tu Xie suddenly understood: "Does General Yiqu mean the governor?"

"It's the governor." Yi Qusheng nodded vigorously, and said: "In the entire Zhao Kingdom, apart from the king, I am afraid that the governor is the only one who has good intentions towards us barbarians. So help you The governor is helping us, understand?

I heard that Yi Qubo's wife is from your Hunxie tribe, and your Shanyu's mother is also from the Hunxie tribe, and she seems to be related to Yiqubo's wife, right?

So tell your virtuous Chanyu, stop being secretive.I know what he is worried about, but you have to tell him that helping the governor well is the way out for us Yiqu people, Huns, Linhu people, and all the barbarians, do you understand? "

After saying these words, Yi Qusheng patted Tu Xie on the shoulder, and galloped away.

Tu Xie looked at Yi Qusheng's figure thoughtfully.

Under the shining of the setting sun in the distance, a Zhao army camp covered with golden light was right in front of the two of them.

Chapter 882 Pre-war Preparations (First Change)

In fact, what Yi Qusheng and Tu Xie didn't know was that when they went out to arrest the slaves, Li Mu in Zhao Jun's camp had already figured out what kind of enemy they were about to face.

"A total of [-] cavalry and a large number of tribesmen, more than [-]. At the same time, there are Qiang people to help?"

Li Mu frowned, and couldn't help but said to the person in front of him: "What you said is too exaggerated, right?"

Although he had already made some psychological preparations, when he heard this information, Li Mu still felt that the power in the hands of the Yiqu people seemed to be a little bit more.

Standing in front of Li Mu was a rather ordinary-looking person. What was a little surprising was that he was not wearing Zhao Jun's military uniform, but a black robe.

Even when facing a famous general like Li Mu, there was no trace of fear or other emotions on this man's face.

The reason is actually very simple, because he comes from Hu Yiwei, another well-known organization of the Zhao Kingdom.

This Hu Yiwei said to Li Mu very calmly: "Commander, that's all the information that the criminals you handed over to us have confessed."

Li Mu frowned, and couldn't help but said, "Can you really guarantee that what those criminals said is true?"
