Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 453 What Li Mu did

Gu Xun said that he pushed the teapot on the table towards the Six-fingered Black Man, indicating that he could help himself, then he took a sip of water and said cheerfully:

"Is the giant here this time about the copper box?"

"That's right." The Six-Fingered Black Man looked at the teapot and didn't touch it. He had something on his face and couldn't drink the water. "But there are other things to say."

"Well..." Gu Xun nodded, and then said, "I can only say sorry about the copper box. Luna has given a sufficient price. I have no reason to refuse, and it is impossible to have both ends. I can only That’s it.”

"Haha, don't get me wrong, sir. I'm not here to ask you to take back the copper box." The six-fingered black man raised his six-fingered left hand, "I just want to confirm one thing with you, sir."

"what's up?"

"Is there something wrong with that copper box?"

"Huh?" Yan Lingji couldn't help showing surprise when she heard that the Six-fingered Black Man was doubting the copper box.

Gu Xun was not surprised. What he said before was a bit of a reminder. It was normal for the Six-fingered Black Man to notice that something was wrong.

Regarding the Six-Fingered Black Man, Gu Xun's senses were pretty good, especially when compared with the paranoiacs of the Mo family in the anime in his memory, it further highlighted the Six-Fingered Black Man's normality, so he was willing to say more to remind him before.

"The copper box... I have said it, maybe it is closely related to Canglong Qisu, but... it is no longer important." Gu Xun did not give a positive answer, but still answered vaguely.

"Is that so... I understand, thank you Mr. Gu for informing me." This answer was enough for the Six-Fingered Black Man to make a judgment, and he nodded in thanks.

"It just so happens that I also have some information to tell you, sir, in return, but the content may not be that important to you."

"It's okay. As long as it's interesting information, I'm willing to hear it." Gu Xun was not picky and was all ears.

"A few days ago, the wolf clan's 80,000-strong army gathered and marched straight to the border gate of the Great Wall of Yanmen County, Zhao State, with the intention of knocking on the gate." The six-fingered black man said in a solemn voice the information about the Northland that he had just received not long ago.

"Ah..." Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked, "It can't be such a coincidence, right? The wolf tribe is taking advantage of this time?"

The Six-Fingered Black Man added at this time, "According to the information I have received, some time ago, Li Mu was uncharacteristically sending troops to harass the wolf clan repeatedly, not to kill the enemy, but only to destroy. But now that winter is approaching, there are many wolf clans. The tribe does not have enough resources to survive the winter, so it is inevitable to take risks and fight to the death."

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled as expected. It seemed that Li Mu was really behind the scenes.

It is not difficult to do this. As long as the wolf tribe's winter supplies are destroyed, they will naturally be forced to take action, and the time to take action can also be controlled. As long as the other party has some brains, it will definitely be when Li Mu is not around, but also It can't be too late, otherwise the war will be impossible to fight when winter comes completely.

This is indeed a good way to get rid of the situation temporarily.

The only flaw is that there will be some sacrifices...of course not the wolf tribe, but the northern border troops. Fighting has to be private. As for the wolf tribe...how many people die is their business, and it is not the turn of the Central Plains people to consider for them.

"Ci doesn't control troops, but Li Mu is decisive and has made preparations early." Gu Xun couldn't help but sigh after thinking about the wolf invasion in his mind.

"I don't have the soldiers ... Mr. Gu's word summary." Six -finger Black Man smiled and commented on Gu Xun's words, and then got up and resigned, "Don't disturb the two rests, leave." "If you have a chance , Mr. Gu has arrived in Jidu, Yan State, and I will invite him to be my guest again."

"Let's go slowly." Gu Xun heard what the Six-Fingered Black Man meant and thought he was leaving Handan City, so he stood up to see him off.

………………

The next day, an urgent report from the northern border was delivered to Handan City, interrupting Guo Kai who was attacking Li Mu at the court meeting, and also interrupted Zhao Wangqian who was about to make up his mind to punish Li Mu.

At present, the Zhao Kingdom has no generals, and the few they have are just idiots. Not to mention whether King Zhao Qian can trust them, they themselves are unwilling to go to the border to face the vicious barbarian wolf clan. Only Li Mu can take the lead.

The major affairs of the country include military service and sacrifice, not to mention barbarian invasion. Everything has to give way. After all, even if Qin invades, Zhao Wangqian can think of other ways to deal with it, such as negotiating peace, ceding territory, and... ...Certain land and pay compensation, but the wolf tribe won't discuss this with you. There is no need to discuss it, so just one word - rob!

He stole money, food, and women. He took away everything he could and burned everything he couldn't take away. It was too destructive and couldn't be handled well. If public opinion arose, people all over the country would scold him for being a king.

So, naturally, Zhao Wangqian ordered Li Mu to return to Yanmen immediately to resist the wolf clan.

When leaving Handan, Li Mu and Sima Shang rode horses side by side on the Chidao. Sima Shang looked back at the Handan city wall that gradually disappeared from sight, and couldn't help but sigh, "We finally left... This court is actually more beautiful than the battlefield." It’s going to be extremely dangerous. Fortunately, General, you were prepared in advance, but it’s a pity that the war is going on, and I don’t know how many men have to be buried in the north!”

Although Sima Shang was feeling emotional, he didn't think Li Mu did anything wrong. He was also an excellent general. He didn't know the word "ci not commanding troops", but he understood the principle very well.

If something happens to Li Mu and the border is unstable, the Northland will really flow into rivers of blood, and those who serve in the army will die on the battlefield. This should be the case, but there is nothing to say.

"Alas..." Li Mu also sighed deeply at this time, "I'm afraid there will be more than just this battle..."

"General, what you mean is that the wolves will increase the frequency of invading the border?" Sima Shang was confused when he heard this and couldn't help but ask.

Li Mu shook his head, "It's not the wolf clan, but me... In the next time, I will use troops against the wolf clan to weaken them as quickly as possible."

"Why did the general suddenly switch from defense to offense? Isn't this a good thing for the situation in the North?" Sima Shang heard the explanation, but he didn't understand it even more.

The effect of using troops against the wolf tribe is actually not good. After all, they are nomadic people with no fixed abode and all the people are soldiers. It is very troublesome for the Central Plains army, which is good at fighting in large groups. It wastes people and money and has little profit, unless Li Mu used a plan to surround and kill a hundred thousand people. For the wolf clan, one battle will determine the situation, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.

"This is a necessary precaution..." At this time, Li Mu also looked back at Handan City, which was almost completely invisible. "In any case, the king is already suspicious of me. If I escape once today, I may not be able to escape a second time. Besides, There is also the State of Qin who is watching covetously from abroad..."

"No matter what, we cannot leave the wolf clan outside to watch. At least we must let them rest and recuperate in peace for ten years. Otherwise, once I... the situation changes slightly, the Northland will inevitably be in chaos."

"..." After listening to Li Mu's words, Sima Shang's face turned gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Li Mu's worries were by no means groundless. Although he was unwilling to accept any of the above possibilities, there were some things that he could only avoid but could not change.

Not only him, Li Mu, the Northland Military God, could not change either.
