Qin Shi: With a superb understanding, he is invincible as soon as he strikes

"Your Highness, here I come..." said the Wolf King.

In the bare peach forest, an old man in simple clothes walked slowly and whispered, "In such a snowy weather, anyone who can come to such a remote place must be a distinguished guest."

"General Li Mu, we should have met..." Ying Xiao said with a smile, "It's just that it's been many years, General Li Mu can't remember it for a moment. After all, I was just a young boy at that time."

"Ying Xiao..." After hearing Ying Xiao's words, Li Mu could no longer fail to recognize Ying Xiao and was slightly surprised.

But he was relieved immediately and said calmly, "You are indeed a distinguished guest. However, there is no general here, nor is there any Li Mu. He is just an old man guarding this peach blossom forest."

"Senior, I am sorry for being rude." Ying Xiao bowed.

"It's okay." Li Mu whispered, and then signaled Ying Xiao and Canglang King to enter the peach blossom forest.

There were no houses, just a sheltered place at the foot of the hill in the center of the peach forest, with a simple stove, simple wooden tables and chairs, and some wine jars.

Li Mu lit the stove and poured peach blossom wine into wooden cups for Ying Xiao and Canglang King.

"Although you are distinguished guests, I really don't have anything good to offer you here. Please don't reject the peach blossom wine that I brewed myself," said Li Mu.

"How dare you."

Ying Xiao smiled and then took a sip of the peach blossom wine.

"There is warmth in the cold, and a sweetness in the lightness that cannot be described in words. It is unique."

“Plus, it has a taste of home.”

"Yes, the taste of home..." Li Mu murmured, "But where is home?"

"Wherever your heart is and where you want to protect is your home. For you, senior, this peach blossom forest and everywhere beyond the peach blossom forest is your home." Ying Xiao said.

"This is why the seniors have been here all along."

"That's why I can get here."

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at Ying Xiao deeply with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Perhaps, I need to apologize to you on behalf of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Xiao said, "Back then, the Qin Dynasty attacked Zhao and was unable to move forward because of you, so we had to resort to some strategies."

"Daqin has no apologies to Li Mu." Li Mu said, "The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plan. Daqin did the right thing. The only one who made a mistake was the former king..."

"The king that Li Mu is loyal to..."

"However, Li Mu is dead, and he and the soldiers who swore to protect him till death are buried forever in this peach blossom forest. Everything is over now."

"If you think this peach blossom wine is good, you can take a few jars with you when you leave."

After saying that, Li Mu was about to leave.

“Senior, if Touman Chanyu’s cavalry sets foot here, no matter how magical this peach blossom forest is, it will not be able to stop them, and the place where the soldiers’ souls return will no longer exist.” Ying Xiao said.

Hearing this, Li Mu stopped.

"And the so-called hometown will no longer exist." Ying Xiao continued, "Soon, the memories and longings will also disappear, and everything will be written by the wolf tribe."

After a long silence, Li Mu finally spoke, "What do you want?"

"Killing has never been a solution to problems. The Qin Dynasty will merge with the wolf tribe. The so-called Hu tribe and the former people of the six kingdoms will all become the same people." Ying Xiao said.

"Many things and many things we want are just ideals or dreams after all, but at least we can make sure that there will be no more wars and chaos in this world."

“The military doctrine has never been to fight for the sake of war, but to have no war in the world.”

"No war in the world, what a great world without war..." Li Mu said with a smile, and there was some appreciation in his tone, "It is not without reason that the world belongs to the Qin Dynasty."

"The world is not the Great Qin. The so-called Great Qin is just a name. The world belongs to everyone in the world. Have you ever seen a dynasty that lasts for a long time, senior?" Ying Xiao said.

"It seems that I have no way to refuse, but now I find it difficult to even pick up a sword..." Li Mu sighed, turned around and walked away, picking up a heavy sword buried by the wind and snow.

Just holding the sword made Li Mu's breathing become a little rapid.

Chapter 215 Zhenyue reappears!

Ying Xiao could feel that this sword was quite heavy.

"Zhenyue..." the wolf king murmured, "This name is a nightmare to the wolf clan."

"Since it is a mountain-suppressing sword, it can suppress mountains. Obviously, this sword is as heavy as a mountain. Your Highness, it may not be much lighter than your Juque."

"Senior, are there any injuries left on the battlefield?" Ying Xiao asked.

"Hahaha..." Hearing Ying Xiao's question, Li Mu smiled bitterly and also laughed angryly.

"As a soldier, and a soldier like you, you won't smile like this when you are injured on the battlefield." Ying Xiao said, "It seems..."

"Yes, this fatal injury came from those people who were chasing me, and those people were the ones I and my subordinates fought bloody battles to protect." Li Mu's expression became more and more angry.

But he quickly regained his composure and handed Zhenyue to Ying Xiao.

"Giving you this sword is the only thing I can do..." Li Mu said helplessly.

“This sword does not belong to me. Moreover, if this sword is to reappear in the world, it needs to be brought out by the senior.” Ying Xiao said, and then his right hand fell on Li Mu’s shoulder, performing the Changchun Immortal Skill to heal Li Mu’s wounds.

"This is..." Feeling his body recovering, Li Mu was shocked...

“Senior, in this way, we can truly pick up this Zhenyue Sword, right?” Ying Xiao said with a smile.

"The Great Qin King Wu is worthy of his reputation." After being surprised, Li Mu said heavily.

"Senior, I think... it would be more appropriate for you to bring this Zhenyue Sword back to the world first, and then I will find a new owner for it." Ying Xiao spoke again.

"Moreover, the new owner will definitely not disappoint you, senior, and will definitely be worthy of this sword."

"It seems that you already have a candidate. If I'm not mistaken, it's Meng Tian?" Li Mu asked.

"The look in your eyes has told me that Senior Meng Tian likes you." Ying Xiao said with a smile.

"The Golden Fire Cavalry is famous throughout the Qin Dynasty and the six kingdoms." Li Mu said, "But among the seven kingdoms, which one has the strongest cavalry..."

"Of course it's Zhao." Ying Xiao continued Li Mu's words, "The Hu clothing and horse riding and archery made Zhao's cavalry reach a level that the other six countries could not even dream of."

"Since you can see this, you can also see how powerful the Wolf Tribe and the Huns' cavalry are. To be honest, if it is a head-on fight, the Zhao cavalry will be nothing but a pile of mud in front of the Wolf Tribe and the Huns' cavalry, and will be defeated at the first charge." Li Mu said.

"I was still unwilling to accept this, so I led 100,000 Iron Cavalry and Wolf Clan Cavalry in a head-on charge."

"That time, there were only 30,000 wolf cavalrymen..."

"And it was these 30,000 wolf cavalry that caused me to suffer my first defeat in a cavalry battle, and it was a disastrous defeat, 30,000 versus 100,000... To this day, I still cannot let it go."

"It was indeed a crushing defeat." Ying Xiao nodded with a heavy tone, and once again truly understood the combat effectiveness of the wolf tribe and the Hun cavalry.

Ying Xiao believed what Li Mu said.

In real history, the Han Dynasty lasted for nearly seventy years, during which there was the rule of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu of Han spent nearly thirty years on military preparations to fight the Huns. In total, it took almost a hundred years before the Han Dynasty was able to truly engage in a head-on battle with the Hun cavalry. Only after that did it truly make the transition from offense to defense.

Nearly a hundred years of accumulation and change...

"After that tragic defeat, I had no choice but to return to the essence of military strategy - to attack the enemy's strategy." Li Mu continued, "And the only achievement I made was to resist the wolf tribe's attacks again and again, and each time I resisted, I paid a heavy price."

"To be honest, there is no real military strategist among the wolf tribe, no general who is good at attacking cities, and no siege equipment like us, otherwise..."

"And Meng Tian, ​​the Golden Fire Cavalry he led is indeed not as good as the elite troops of the State of Zhao that I led in the past, but he did a much better job than I did. So, he is more qualified than me to wield the Zhenyue Sword."

"In that case, I would like to thank you on behalf of Meng Tian," said Ying Xiao.

"So how are you going to deal with the wolf tribe?" Li Mu also asked the question that concerned him most.

"The descendants of the Moon Wolf, the Fairy Princess Tribe, and the Western Regions' special forces are all under my control." Ying Xiao said, "Now, all that's missing is you leading a cavalry..."

"Once Touman dies, the current leader of the Moon Wolf Clan will become the new Chanyu of the Wolf Clan."

"The wolf land will become Wolf County!"

"Can some real ideals be realized..." After hearing Ying Xiao's words, Li Mu spoke heavily and looked at Ying Xiao with admiration in his eyes.

"Senior, thirty thousand golden fire cavalry. This is the maximum number of cavalry that I can transfer here." Ying Xiao said.

"That's enough. It used to be 30,000 versus 100,000, and it's still 30,000 versus 100,000 now. Maybe this is destined." Li Mu nodded.

"King Canglang, you must go see Meng Tian overnight and tell him to secretly mobilize 30,000 golden fire cavalry here." Ying Xiao immediately ordered King Canglang.

"Yes, Your Highness..." The Wolf King nodded and then disappeared into the peach blossom forest.

"Everything is ready..." Ying Xiao murmured.

"I never thought that I would be able to fight on the battlefield with this Zhenyue Sword again in my lifetime." Li Mu said, "Perhaps, I should thank you. This is also a scene that countless soldiers in this peach forest would like to see."

Zheng!

With a sound of sword ringing, Zhenyue was unsheathed.

At that moment, Ying Xiao felt that thousands of troops were rushing towards him.

Those were thousands of troops who had gone through countless battles of protection and fought bloody battles for the people behind them time and time again.

"This is Zhenyue, born because of thousands of troops." Ying Xiao murmured.

"That's right..." Li Mu nodded, "Only a true general, with a heart that will never fight a war, can truly understand what it means to be a mountain guard."

"Meng Tian has such a heart." Ying Xiao said.

"Of course he has." Li Mu whispered, "I have heard Zhenyue's long-lost excitement. This kind of excitement, other than today, I have only heard it once, and that time was when I first met Zhenyue."

"Senior, after this battle, you can take your peach blossom forest and the souls of the soldiers in this peach blossom forest back to your hometown." Ying Xiao said.

"This right belongs to me."

"Thank you, but this is my hometown now." Li Mu said.

"Then I would be considered to have said too much. Senior, don't worry, no one will disturb us here." Ying Xiao said.

"Thank you..."

......

Three days later, Ying Xiao and Li Mu could already see traces of 30,000 golden fire cavalry outside the peach blossom forest.

The snow was very thick and we needed to be secretive, so it took us three days to get there.

Leading the way were the two snow leopards from the Western Regions.

There are three human figures on the back of the Western Region Snow Leopard.

"Perhaps I did leave in a hurry when I was in Shangjun." Ying Xiao laughed in his heart.

Chapter 216: One battle to determine the wolf tribe!

"Your Highness..."

From a distance, Chi Lian's cry was heard, and she jumped from the back of the Western Region Snow Leopard and headed towards Ying Xiao's arms.

"Senior, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Ying Xiao said embarrassedly to Li Mu beside him.

"No problem..." Li Mu nodded slightly, his attention focused on the Golden Fire Cavalry, his eyes already eager, "It only takes one glance to see that under the command of Meng Tian, ​​these cavalry have become stronger."

"It's just not strong enough..."

"There's no way. The wolf tribe and the Huns are born on horseback. What's more, our horses are far inferior to theirs. As for the bloody and wild nature of fighting on horseback, we are far inferior to them. The wolf tribe is like wolves, and the Huns are like eagles." Ying Xiao said.

"You can practice horsemanship and stimulate wildness, but horses..." Li Mu said, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of the Ferghana horse?"

"I know. That's exactly what I meant..." Ying Xiao said.

"Unfortunately, in the former Zhao State, except King Wuling of Zhao who noticed this, the others... hehe... just treated the Ferghana horses as pets for viewing. How ridiculous and sad..." said Li Mu.

"With the financial, material and human resources they have spent, they could have already built a strong cavalry made up of Ferghana horses. We don't need too many, only 30,000. With the terrain of Zhao, we can charge down in one go and conquer the Central Plains with our iron cavalry."

"Indeed..." Ying Xiao nodded, "But unfortunately, King Wuling of Zhao was only wise for a short time..."

"Yes!" Li Mu sighed, "However, I finally saw the unification of the Central Plains. This is the wish of a true military strategist. Perhaps for such a scene, I should thank the Qin Dynasty."

"And that's also because I don't hate Daqin at all."

"Senior, you are too kind..."

At this time, Chi Lian pounced over and went straight into Ying Xiao's arms.

"Snow Leopard from the Western Region..." Li Mu whispered, then headed towards the Golden Fire Cavalry.

"It seems that you miss me very much..." After Li Mu walked away, Ying Xiao touched Chi Lian's nose and smiled.

"Your Highness, you said..." Chi Lian wished she could strip Ying Xiao of his clothes right now and use the Fire Charm Technique directly on Ying Xiao.

"Don't worry, it won't take a few days, and it will be over soon." Ying Xiao said with a smile, "But it's not appropriate to use this fire charm now. You know, in front of you, I have almost no self-control."
