Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 460 Three-party communication
  "Touman..." Gu Xun muttered the name in his mouth. He had some impression of the name. It should be a relatively famous Chanyu in history.

"In this invasion of the North, is this Touman Chanyu also here?"

"Of course." Li Mu nodded, "The Wolf clan sent one hundred thousand troops, which is almost half of the troops except the old, weak, women and children. Touman must be leading the army himself."

"Touman led an army of 60,000 people to attack the Yanmen area. King Zuoxian and King Youguli of the Wolf Clan also led an army of 40,000 people and fled to the Jiuyuan Yunzhong area."

Gu Xun didn't care about King Zuo Xian and King You Guli, and asked about Touman's information, "Can Touman's location be determined?"

"What does Mr. Gu want to do?" Gu Xunhua asked. At this point, Li Mu and the Six-Fingered Black Man had finally gotten to know each other, but they still asked for confirmation.

"What do you think? I'll kill him!" Gu Xun curled his lips and said bluntly.

"..." Even though he had already guessed, Li Mu was still speechless for a moment. Going to assassinate the enemy leader alone... this was not something a normal person would consider at all.

This is a battlefield, and there are actually tens of thousands of troops around him. This is not to say that assassinations are carried out in places with limited space such as cities or palaces. Even the king of a country can only have a thousand people protecting him at most. No matter how difficult the assassination is, Or the difficulty of escaping, the two cannot be compared. It can be said that they are worlds apart.

"Touman now has 60,000 prairie cavalry who are good at riding and shooting with him. They are marching very fast. If Mr. Gu were to assassinate him alone, even if he succeeded, he would not be able to escape. It is too dangerous. It is better to think about it in the long term." Finally, Li Mu held back a word of dissuasion.

He hopes to get help from Gu Xun, but he doesn't want to see him die recklessly.

Gu Xun glanced at him sideways and replied very confidently, "It's dangerous to others, but it doesn't mean it's dangerous to me. Just tell me where they are."

"...Even if Mr. Gu has this confidence, I won't be able to tell you the exact location of Touman for a while." Seeing that Gu Xun refused to listen, Li Mu had no choice but to give up his plan to persuade him head-on, and instead used roundabout methods to dissuade him. "The wolf army moves very fast. During this time, it has been constantly attacking everywhere outside the pass in order to find the weak points of our army's defense. Even if I send spies to find out the location of Touman, when the news comes back, Mr. Gu, if you go again, the other party will probably have already left."

"Tsk...it's really troublesome. Forget it, just check the approximate location. Anyway, the movement of an army always leaves traces. It's not difficult to track. I'll try harder to find it when the time comes." He frowned, smacked his lips dissatisfied, and finally decided to make do with it.

Seeing him like this, the Six-fingered Black Man also spoke, trying to dispel his plan:

"Mr. Gu, don't be anxious yet. General Li Mu has already made plans to destroy the invading wolf army. Since you intend to fight against the wolves, you might as well cooperate with General Li Mu."

"Destroy the enemy?" Gu Xun suddenly grasped the key point of the Six-fingered Black Man's words, destroying the enemy instead of retreating. In other words, Li Mu wanted to annihilate the wolf army. "No wonder you didn't defend the city, but sent out A large number of troops went out to meet the enemy..."

Seeing that Gu Xun was also bent on dealing with the wolf clan, Li Mu no longer concealed it, nodded and replied, "Yes, this time Touman personally led his troops to invade in order to appease the wolf clan tribes and revive his reputation. He is an absolute master. Given the best opportunity, I am determined to swallow up this 100,000 wolf army, and even kill Touman."

By the way, he also explained the meaning of Killing Touman, "Over the years, disputes have continued among the various tribes of the wolf clan. However, Touman relied on his own prestige and military power to forcefully suppress these fights, but this only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. As long as he dies, the wolf clan will inevitably be in civil strife, divided and divided, and the Northland will be safe." After hearing what they said, Gu Xun was not in a hurry to continue talking about the assassination of Touman, and asked Li Muchao, "What are you going to do? Do?"

"I want to use my body as bait to lure Touman to gather all the wolf clan's forces on the side of the border to attack and kill me, and then take the opportunity to devour the other party."

"Huh?" Before Gu Xun could say anything, the Six-fingered Black Man reacted first. He had guessed that Li Mu must be planning to defeat the wolf clan, but he didn't expect that his plan was to use himself as bait... This is not okay. !

The six-fingered black man's reaction was the same as that of Li Mu's generals. He blurted out a dissuasion, "No, General Li Mu!"

It doesn't matter whether the wolves kill or not, they will definitely be able to fight back anyway. If you are gone, who will take over the Northland in the future?

Gu Xun did not persuade, but asked, "Why is the general so radical all of a sudden? Or are you just as well prepared this time as you were when you defeated the wolf clan in the past?"

"It's a pity that I can only conclude this plan in haste without preparation." Li Mu shook his head sincerely to deny Gu Xun's speculation.

"As for why it has to be like this... Both of you were in Handan before, so you should know the king's attitude towards me. In this Northland... I don't know how long I can hold on. Zhao is worried about foreign troubles, but the wolf clan is still watching outside. I We must take this opportunity to eliminate a threat." Li Mu said his current embarrassing situation in a calm voice without changing his expression.

"..." The Six-fingered Black Man was silent when he heard this.

From the perspective of guarding the North Land, Li Mu actually does not necessarily have to be so radical. After all, Zhao Wangqian still has some ideas in his mind. However, as a general of Zhao, Li Mu cannot only focus on the Saibei Wolf Clan. There are also people to the west. What about a more dangerous neighbor...

In one fell swoop, the King of Qin got rid of Changxin Hou Lao Ai and Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, and took over the power, which shocked the six kingdoms of Shandong. Although his reputation was a little skewed because of the little tidbits about Queen Mother Zhao Ji, anyone with knowledge knows that it has been silent for two generations. The king of Qin is afraid that he will start to open his fangs and tear apart his prey again.

Although the Qin State has been developing vigorously in recent years under the governance of Lu Buwei, the Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Buwei is not as aggressive as those previous Qin kings. He has conducted far fewer military operations against the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. The most outstanding thing is that It was the annexation of most of Weiguo's territory and the complete elimination of the Zhou royal family, but there was not much else.

Li Mu had to guard against the Qin State, and at the moment in the Zhao State, he was the only one who could take the lead. Even the living military god had no skills. One person could not take care of both sides, and if he did not defeat the Wolf Clan, how could he guard against the Qin State?

So the six-fingered black man stopped talking. He couldn't tell Li Mu, don't worry about Zhao Guo's life and death. It's all Zhao Wang's own fault anyway. Just take care of the North and concentrate on dealing with the wolves... This is talking while standing. No back pain.

Gu Xun thought about it, but still had no intention of dissuading him. Since he was in the Northland now, could he still let the wolf clan kill Li Mu?
  He is more concerned about the success rate of the strategy itself and what the final result will be.
