Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 49

"Touman, there is someone out of the wolf clan." Li Mu said without changing his face.

Li Mu was somewhat surprised that a member of the wolf tribe appeared in Hengshan, and he was an important figure like Touman, and it was just an accident.

With Li Mu's insight in military strategy, he understood the plan of the wolf tribe in Hengshan in an instant, which was nothing more than cutting off the communication between Zhao's northern border and the hinterland.

What really surprised Li Mu was Zi Nu, a woman who could think that the wolves were about to go south to attack the northern border of Zhao State just because the wolves had meddled in Hengshan. This insight was enough to move Li Mu.

The so-called glimpse of leopards in the middle and knowledge of books in small details is nothing more than that, especially when it involves the great war between Zhao Guo and the wolf clan that can affect the rise and fall of the country's fate. In Li Mu's opinion, it is really unbelievable that this insight appeared in a woman.

"So, is the horse Madam Ghost mentioned the war horse of the wolf tribe?" Sima Shang also realized at this time that Zi Nu would be so sure when she was here, and was willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of gold in exchange for this favor.

War horses, in this era of war, are the most precious war resources, and the huge profits in them are by no means comparable to pig iron.

"Exactly, once the wolves go south, there will be no shortage of horses in Yanmen County. Come to think of it, if I buy thousands of horses from Yanmen County, it shouldn't be too much, right?" He said with a slight smile.

"The wolves have tens of thousands of soldiers. Once they go south, although I am sure to repel them, it will be too difficult to keep them when dealing with the wolf army with all cavalry. Madam Ghost is so sure that when the time comes Can there be so many war horses in Men County that I can sell you thousands of horses?" Li Mu asked.

"If the governor of Yanmen County was someone else at this time, of course I would not make such a deal, but the current governor is you, General Li." Zi Nu looked at Li Mu in front of her and said.

He is indeed a true soldier, but, Yang Ming, why are you so sure that Li Mu can really destroy the wolf clan?As Li Mu said, it is not difficult to repel the wolf clan, but to achieve the destruction of the wolf clan as you said, can Li Mu really do it?

If Li Mu can't do it, then we will lose a lot in this deal.

There has always been such hesitation in Zi Nu's heart, even after meeting Li Mu, her hesitation still hasn't dispelled.

The woman's temperament made her choose to trust Yang Ming, but as a businessman, Zi Nu's suspicion never disappeared.

"Because of General Li, I am willing to gamble once. If you succeed, you will get wealth that you can enjoy in your life. If you fail, you can only go back and marry and let others take care of you." Zi Nu said half jokingly and half seriously.

"Madam Ghost really has a lot of courage, her kindness is enough to shame ninety-nine out of ten men in the world." Li Mu said calmly.

But is Li Mu's heart really as peaceful as he appears?

Of course it's impossible, Li Mu is also suspicious at this time, he doesn't know the real reason why Zi Nu proposes such a deal.

Is Zi Nu purely gambling, or Zi Nu saw his plan.

Since five or six years ago when he started guarding the northern border of Zhao State, Li Mu has always chosen to avoid the invasion of the wolf clan. He ordered his soldiers to guard their camps and not go out to fight. soldiers and horses.

In the past few years, Li Mu has already trained an elite army consisting of chariot soldiers, cavalry, and infantry. Small, insignificant, and constantly fueling the arrogance of the wolf clan.

What Li Mu conspired in five or six years was only to lead the wolf army into Yanmen County, and then encircle and annihilate it.

Li Mu, who came from the nearby county, knew very well that it was not difficult to resist the wolves with Zhao's military strength, but it was very difficult to severely injure the wolves.

Since the Battle of Changping, the national power of Zhao State has been greatly damaged. In recent years, Qin State has gone eastward, and most of them have attacked Zhao State. The purpose is to constantly weaken Zhao State, making it difficult to restore its peak national strength. That's all.

Faced with such a situation, how to draw hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from the confrontation with the wolves in the northern border of Zhao State, so that they can join in the battle against Qin State, has become an urgent problem that Zhao State has to face .

It is precisely because of this that Li Mu and the first king of Zhao State conspired to plan the First World War to severely damage the wolf clan, so that they dare not go south to spy on the northern border of Zhao State for ten years.

In order to realize this plan, Li Mu endured it for five or six years, even at the expense of being accused of cowardice and cowardice. The plotter was only to introduce the wolf army into Yanmen County, and then encircle and wipe out the wolf army.

Regarding this plan, only King Zhao and Li Mu knew about this plan in the whole country of Zhao. Even the current Zhao Wangyan was not very clear about it. As for the deputy general Sima Shang, he was completely unaware.

However, at this time, in front of Li Mu, there appeared a person who seemed to have spied on his plan.

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Zi Nu with an imperceptible coldness. He and Zhao Guo had already paid too much in order to injure the wolves and free the Zhao State's border army from the pressure of the wolves. too much.

At this moment when I am about to succeed, no accidents are allowed, even if innocent people may be involved, I will do my best to prevent future troubles.In Li Mu's heart, a trace of murderous intent was uncontrollably born.

But, what is a gentleman?
A gentleman does not mean that his conduct is perfect, nor does it mean that he will not have the slightest evil thoughts and malice. A real gentleman is that he can stick to his heart when his heart is shaken.

And Li Mu is such a gentleman. When facing the enemy, he can make every effort to win the battle, but outside the battle, he will strictly abide by his conduct.

When he sensed the killing intent deep in his heart, Li Mu denied this idea in an instant.

It's just that before the wolf tribe is dealt with, the ghost lady can't be allowed to leave Yanmen City, so as not to cause complications.Li Mu made up his mind and said.

"Madam Ghost, I have agreed to this condition. If the day you said comes true, I will make up for the difference in the pig iron price with war horses. However, Madam Ghost, I have said it before, gambling is risky." After some thought, Li Mu gave his own answer.

"It's just willing to bet and admit defeat." Zi Nu smiled, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, this matter was considered a success.

The next thing is to see if Li Mu and Zhao Guo's frontier army can really destroy the wolf clan as Yang Ming said.

Thinking of Yang Ming, Zi Nu's gaze subconsciously turned to the direction of the hall. In order to get through the relationship with the Sheriff's Mansion these days, Zi Nu has put in a lot of effort, even going back and forth several times, her legs are getting thicker.

But she finally came to the Sheriff's Mansion, but she met Yang Ming in the hall. You know, she is still standing outside the hall now?
He has a relationship with the Sheriff's Mansion for a long time. My busy work these days has become a joke in his eyes, right?
Thinking of this, Zi Nu couldn't help gnashing her teeth secretly, and made up her mind that she must settle the account with Yang Ming afterward.
