Chapter 465 Ask for Advice

Handan.

After two consecutive defeats, Zhao's Handan Army was completely destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed by the Qin army's sword.

The whole country of Zhao was in an uproar, and all the officials in the court were deeply uneasy.

The Qin army captured Chili and Yi'an and would not stop there. The next target was Handan.

There is no Great Wall in the north of Handan, so the Qin army can descend in one force and surround the capital of Zhao. If Handan falls, then Zhao will also die.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical at this moment, so we should urgently recruit Li Mu to go south to defend the Qin army."

Guo Kai was sitting in front of the court train. He listened to the courtiers' advice and said nothing. He just glanced at the train.

Han Cang, the favorite minister of Zhao Wangqian, walked out of the court.

"Your Majesty, this is not true. Hu Zou led an army of 100,000 at the beginning, but he could not stop the Qin army. Now Li Mu's army only has tens of thousands, can he stop the Qin army, which is like a wolf and a tiger?"

Zhao Wangqian was a little worried after hearing this.

"What do you think?"

"How about making peace!"

As soon as Han Cang opened his mouth, someone shouted.

"Absurd. When Zhao still had an army of hundreds of thousands, Qin had no intention of peace talks. Now, with the army destroyed and generals dead, how could Qin have any intention of peace talks?"

Han Cang said nothing and retreated dejectedly. Guo Kai closed his eyes and secretly thought "trash" in his heart.

"enough!"

There was endless debate in the court, and Queen Mother Zhao finally waved her hand and scolded.

Born as a prostitute, she was promoted from the Queen of Zhao to the Queen Mother.

"Let Li Mu go south to fight against the Qin army."

Guo Kai's expression changed and he looked at Queen Mother Zhao, a little surprised by her reaction.

After the court meeting was over, the Queen Mother Zhao kept Guo Kai behind.

"I just saw that the Prime Minister's expression was different, and he didn't say anything when the ministers were discussing it at the court meeting, so I left the Prime Minister here and wanted to ask you what you think?"

"Queen Mother, Li Mu slandered the late king at the beginning, saying that the Queen Mother was of improper origin, which would disrupt the bloodline of the clan and lead to the overthrow of the country. Why does the Queen Mother want to use him today?"

Queen Mother Zhao glanced at Guo Kai and smiled softly.

"I don't understand the war. But if the Zhao Kingdom is over, will it benefit me?"

The slightly warning words made Guo Kai lower his head.

"Now Mr. Jia is in Daidi, and Li Mu is in the north. What if the Qin army goes south and they collude and take the opportunity to cause chaos?"

"this……"

"If we win this battle, the danger of Zhao will be solved. But if we lose, it will not harm us. Instead, we can take advantage of the situation to deal with Gongzi Jia. Don't we want to negotiate for peace? When negotiating for peace, we have to cede the land, so we will cede the land of Dai to Qin The country will also save us trouble."

"The Queen Mother is wise."

Moon Wolf Valley.

In front of the huge totem pole, a man and a horse stopped.

Soon, a woman with two months of wolf descent came out of the valley.

"who is it?"

The person took off his hood, revealing his true appearance. However, the two women in front of him obviously did not know each other.

"This is our clan's territory, no one else is allowed to enter."

Zhao Shuang smiled and took out a strange piece of ruby ​​from his sleeve. When the two women saw him, they immediately knelt down.

"My lord!"

"Take me to see Usu."

"yes!"

In the Moon Wolf Valley, there are no longer pastoral tents, but wooden houses. The house of the leader Usu is deep in the valley.

Along the way, Zhao Shuang saw many strange flowers and plants growing in the valley, which must have been used by the descendants of Moon Wolf to make poison.

Get off the horse and walk into Wusu's leader's house. There are a lot of people inside.

We haven’t seen each other for nearly ten years, and Zhao Shuang has never seen many of the young faces here. He walked up to the leader's position and sat down, while everyone saluted in front of him.

"See my lord!"

"Get up!"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand. Over the years, the entire tribe of Moon Wolf descendants has lived here in seclusion, not only helping Zhao Shuang tame war horses, but also training many killers.

"My Lord, in the first battle of the Yuezhi, he defeated a hundred thousand Yuezhi army and shocked the Western Region. We sincerely admire him."

Wu Su walked in the front. His temples were a little gray, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised.

"How did you know?"

"We heard a nomadic tribe passing through Moon Wolf Valley a few days ago."

"How's it going with the Huns?"

The most important task of the descendants of the Moon Wolf is to monitor the movements of the Huns.

"Hearing about the turmoil in Yueshi, the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman once intended to invade the west and take advantage of the opportunity. However, there have been unusual movements in Donghu and Zhao recently, and he heard that Qin's Anxi Army was guarding the northern border, so he did not Dare to divide your troops here."

At this time, Yuezhi was initially determined, and people's hearts were uneasy. If the Xiongnu invaded in a big way, the situation would be chaotic.

"The descendants of the Moon Wolf have been living here for ten years. How is the tribe?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Su lowered his head and told the truth.

"It is all thanks to the kindness of the Lord that I have 7,000 households, 40,000 mouths, 200,000 cattle and sheep, 7,000 horses, 3,000 horse bows, and more than 30,000 arrows of all kinds. The people in seven tents and the soldiers in one tent live there. In the grasslands around Moon Wolf Valley.”

With no external threats and fertile grasslands, the population of Moon Wolf descendants recovered quickly. However, they could not obtain iron tools and armaments through trade, nor could they manufacture them on a large scale. What they have is just enough for defense.

"I have collected all the territory east of Hexi. However, when the territory was first attached, there were more than 100,000 Yuezhi prisoners of war, and the people were divided. I wanted to train a large cavalry army in the north to scare the Hu Qiang. The descendants of Yuelang also led the troops. bring it on!"

"Thank you Lord for your kindness."

Fertile land.

The Qin army's camps are in a row.

After a great victory just now, I was not happy for a long time. In front of the 100,000 Qin army, there was a new enemy.

Li Mu led his army south and set up a formation in the fertile land. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire Qin Army camp became tense.

"Is this the formation of Li Mu's army camp?"

Fan Yuqi looked at Zhao Jun's defense plan placed on the table, and his thoughts were really clever!

"The one sent from Handan should be correct."

Fan Yuqi nodded, not doubting the authenticity of this military formation map. In fact, Handan has long been infiltrated into a sieve by the Qin State.

Fan Yuqi looked at this formation map and felt very heavy.

Although they had won consecutive victories, the enemy on the opposite side now became Li Mu.

After Bai Qi and Lian Po, there is another high mountain that military officers have to face.

Even if Fan Yuqi learned the opponent's formation map, he was not sure of defeating Li Mu.

A group of generals in the tent were studying the military formation intensively and discussing ways to break it.

"You guys go down first!"

After a long time, Fan Yuqi felt some noise in his ears and gave an order. In the tent, all the generals retreated.

Although he didn't know whether he could defeat it, Fan Yuqi had to set foot on this high mountain now. The place where Li Mu set up his troops was very important. The Qin army could not go south and surrounded Handan. Because the Zhao army left the fertile land unattended and moved southward, the Qin army's rear food route would be cut off at any time.

Fan Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the tent, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and bowed his hands.

"Li Mu, Fan Yuqi is here to ask for advice."
