Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

During the Warring States Period, the status of the Xiongnu was no better than that of later generations.

Although the Xiongnu during this period were called the "Wolf Clan" by the seven Central Plains countries, in fact, in the eyes of the powerful countries of Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Chu, the current Xiongnu were actually more like a group of "mangy dogs."

It is a bit of a threat to the Central Plains, but only a bit of a threat.

Not an exaggeration.

Not to mention that since the Qin State captured the Hetao Plain area, the entire northern defense line of the Central Plains has become a joint defense between Qin and Zhao.

Even if there is only one of the two countries in the entire northern defense line, they can still hang up the Huns in the north and attack them at will.

Look at it from Mr. Mo’s perspective.

Throughout the two thousand years of history of the Central Plains, it can be said that from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, until the Three Kingdoms fought for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Huns in the north had never been a threat to the Central Plains.

Although there were troubles during this period, there was never any real trouble.

It was not until the "Five Husbands Rebellion" occurred in the Jin Dynasty that the Huns in the north truly became a serious problem in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

And before that.

The question that kings of all dynasties have thought about has never been whether they can defeat the Huns, but how to drive them all away? Or how to manage the northern grassland after conquering it?

This is the most troublesome part right now.

For example now:

Meng Tian and Li Mu encountered this problem.

······

North Central Plains.

When Meng Tian and Li Mu separated into two groups and led their troops to the border, the wolves who came to rob the border of the Central Plains had no intention of fighting Meng Tian and Li Mu.

Meng Tian had just gotten a new set of equipment from Mr. Mo, and originally wanted to try it out.

The result was unexpected.

These wolves were far more resistant to fighting than he imagined.

But if you can't bear to fight, you can't bear to fight. But when these wolves really escaped into the grassland, Meng Tian really had no way to pursue them.

After all, except for the "Guabi" from the Han Dynasty, it is almost impossible for most people to pursue and search for traces of the wolf clan in the vast grasslands without logistical supplies.

And on the other side.

Li Mu also fell into the same predicament as Meng Tian.

When Li Mu led his army to the border of Zhao State, he easily hunted down and drove away the wolves that were raging on the border.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is what the wolves did deliberately.

Their goals are clear.

Obviously, the Wolf Clan also got the news of the war between Qin and Zhao this time. They were waiting for Li Mu to leave, and then continued to return to the Zhao border to plunder.

This move is not even a "strategy", it is purely guerrilla warfare.

But the guerrilla warfare used by the wolf tribe this time really got Li Mu involved.

The wolf clan is involved here, and Li Mu can't leave the border for a while.

But the problem is that the battlefield on the other side is also very unfavorable for Zhao.

Even if we don't mention whether the "war-free card" set by Qin State and him will be taken away at any time, logistics alone is a huge problem for Li Mu.

Qin is not stupid.

It seemed that they had made a temporary "agreement" with Li Mu not to start a war again, but they suffered a loss.

But in fact, the Qin State knew very well who would have an advantage if it continued like this. Since Lord Mo took charge of Su Neishi, the logistics of the Qin Army were now frighteningly abundant.

Once the time is prolonged.

Zhao and Wei will definitely be the first to run out of supplies and supplies. By then, Qin may be able to capture both armies without losing a single soldier.

Li Mu is struggling here...

At this moment, an edict from the capital of Zhao State instantly chilled Li Mu.

······

"King Zhao has issued an edict. Lord Wu'an Li Mu is suspected of colluding with the enemy during the war. Lord Wu'an is ordered to return to Handan immediately for investigation."

"I am colluding with the enemy country?"

In the general ledger of the three armies, Li Mu looked at the Zhao guards who came to announce the edict, his face was gloomy and almost dripping with water.

I am afraid that even Li Mu never expected that when the border war was so urgent, he did not wait for support from Zhao State, but instead waited for such a ridiculous edict.

The moment I heard the content of the edict.

The first thought that came to Li Mu's mind was "doubt". After all, such a ridiculous edict was not something a normal monarch could issue.

But when Li Mu thought about it carefully, he was surprised to find that if he were as king as Zhao, he might not be able to do such ridiculous things.

"Asshole, the war is urgent now, how can the coach leave at this time?"

After the edict was read out, Li Mu had not yet lost his temper. In the camp, Li Mu's lieutenants were the first to hold back.

These people were all confidants who had followed Li Mu for many years in the north and south, and they naturally knew how much grievances their generals had endured over the years for this bullshit Zhao country.

It was hard for them to say anything before, but this time King Zhao's edict was really too ridiculous.

"Is this really the edict of King Zhao?"

A deputy general was so angry that he suddenly grabbed the collar of the guard who came to read out the edict and said angrily.

How could the Zhao Kingdom guard, who had lived in a deep palace for a long time, withstand the intimidation of these generals who had lived on the battlefield for a long time? After being shouted at like this, his legs were so frightened that his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground in panic and said.

"Fellow generals, I... I am just a guard who reads out the edict. I don't know anything!"

"Okay, let him go! He is just a guard, this matter has nothing to do with him."

At this moment, Li Mu spoke.

When the deputy general heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, let go and threw the guard away, then turned to Li Mu and said: "General, what should we do next? Could it be that we really have to return to Handan and accept some bullshit investigation. According to me Look, I might as well just wait..."

At the end of the sentence, a fierce look suddenly flashed in the deputy general's eyes.

In the eyes of these battlefield generals, at least half of the credit for Zhao Guo's ability to maintain its current power comes from their coach.

And what kind of bullshit King Zhao does he do besides debauching and enjoying himself in the palace every day?

That being the case.

Rather than continue to suffer under his hands, it would be better to do the opposite.

However, before he could finish his words, Li Mu glanced at him.

Li Mu's eyes were not harsh or cold, but there was an inexplicable majesty. Just one look made the general unable to finish the rest of his sentence.

"Don't say these words again in the future."

Li Mu then said.

When the deputy general saw this, he reluctantly raised his hand and said, "Here!"

Afterwards, Li Mu continued to speak: "Leave this matter to my general! In the next period of time, you and others will temporarily lead the army, and I will return to Handan first."

After thinking for a while.

Li Mu finally decided to go back to Handan first.

No matter what, the war between the two sides of Zhao State is very tight now. Even if there is a problem, Li Mu plans to resolve the matters on both sides first.

As for after this.

"Perhaps it's time for me to disarm."

This was the first time that Li Mu had the idea of ​​disarming himself and returning home.

"General..."

The lieutenants in the camp wanted to say something after hearing this, but were stopped by Li Mu with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, please step back first!"

Li Mu waved his hand, seeming a little tired.

See this.

The lieutenants looked at each other and finally gradually left the camp.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Li Mu took out a small piece of cloth from the bamboo slips on the table.

This secret letter was sent to him by his confidant in Handan before the edict from King Zhao arrived.

What was recorded above was the rumor about "Li Mu's rebellion" that had recently spread in Handan, Zhao State. Li Mu originally didn't pay much attention to this secret letter. After all, he had experienced too many such rumors over the years.

However, the next edict from King Zhao suddenly changed Li Mu's mind.

······

A few days later.

Led by several guards from Zhao State, a carriage slowly drove away from the border and headed towards Handan of Zhao State.

Li Mu was sitting in the carriage, closing his eyes to relax.

Suddenly.

The carriage paused for a moment and then stopped.

In the carriage, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

The voice of the guard who had read out the edict came from outside the carriage: "General Li, we have arrived."

"Are you there?"

A trace of doubt first flashed in Li Mu's eyes. The border was at least three days away from Handan, but now that the carriage had just driven out of the border less than a day ago, it was impossible to reach Handan.

But then, Li Mu seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

The next second.

Before Li Mu could say anything more, a cold murderous aura suddenly came from directly above his head.

Li Mu, who has been on the battlefield for decades, is naturally sensitive to murderous intent. Before the murderous intent comes, he has already jumped up and rushed out of the carriage.

And the moment Li Mu left the carriage, a strong and heavy sword struck his head, splitting the entire carriage into two in an instant.

Wait until Li Mu returns to the ground.

In an instant.

Full of six figures slowly surrounded them from all sides. They were all dressed in the costumes of Zhao Kingdom's guards, but the murderous intent and sword energy exuding from their bodies were obviously not comparable to those of Zhao Kingdom's ordinary guards.

"The killer in the net is the best in heaven. I see. It seems that King Zhao's edict was also copied by you?"

When he saw the six Tianzi first-class killers around him, Li Mu seemed to have finally figured something out and spoke slowly.

The Six Sword Slaves did not answer Li Mu's question, but silently drew their swords.

Because both the swords Duan Shui and Luan Shen were taken away by Lord Mo due to accidents, according to Luo Wang's rule of "when the sword is alive, the person is alive, when the sword dies, the person dies", the previous generation Duan Shui and Luan Shen are both dead.

And in order to replace Duanshui and Chaoshen.

Luo Wang specially found two new famous swords, namely:

Victory over evil.

Kunwu.
