Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"Touman, there is a character from the wolf clan." Li Mu said without changing his expression.

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

With Li Mu's knowledge in military strategy, he understood in an instant that the Wolf Clan's plot in Hengshan was nothing more than to cut off the communication between Zhao's northern border and its hinterland.

What really surprised Li Mu was Zi Nu, a woman who knew that the wolf tribe was about to go south to attack the northern border of Zhao just because of the wolf tribe's intervention in Hengshan. This knowledge was enough to move Li Mu.

The so-called "peeping from the inside and knowing the subtleties" is nothing more than this, especially when it involves the war between Zhao State and the Wolf Clan that can affect the rise and fall of the country. This insight appears in a woman, which is really unbelievable to Li Mu.

"So, is the war horse that Madam Ghost mentioned the war horse of the wolf clan?" Sima Shang also realized at this time why Zi Nu was so sure just now and was willing to spend tens of thousands of gold in exchange for this favor.

War horses, in today's era of war, are the most precious war resources, and the huge profits therein are by no means comparable to those of pig iron.

"Exactly, once the wolves move south, Yanmen County will not be short of war horses. Come to think of it, if I buy thousands of war horses from Yanmen County, it shouldn't be too much, right?" Zi Nu's eyebrows were filled with a businessman's profession. Hua smiled slightly.

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

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

He is indeed a true soldier, but Yang Ming, why are you so sure that Li Mu can really defeat the wolf clan? As Li Mu said, it is not difficult to defeat the wolves, but in order to defeat the wolves as You said, can Li Mu really do it?

If Li Mu can't do it, then our deal will suffer a big loss.

There has always been such hesitation in Zi Nu's heart. Even after meeting Li Mu, her hesitation still did not go away.

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

"Because of General Li, I am willing to make a bet. If I succeed, I will gain wealth that I will never be able to enjoy in my lifetime. If I fail, I will have to go back and get married and be raised by others." Zi Nu said, half jokingly and half seriously.

"Mrs. Ghost is indeed very ambitious. This magnanimity is enough to shame ninety-nine percent of the men in the world." Li Mu said calmly.

But is Li Mu really as calm as he appears?

Of course it was impossible. Li Mu was also suspicious at this time. He didn't know the real reason why Zi Nu proposed such a deal.

Was Zi Nu just gambling, or did Zi Nu see his plan.

Since guarding the northern border of Zhao five or six years ago, Li Mu has always chosen to avoid fighting when the wolves invaded. He ordered his soldiers to stay in the camp and not go out to fight. At the same time, he also improved the treatment of the soldiers and continued to train the army. Soldiers and horses.

In the past few years, Li Mu has already trained an elite regiment consisting of chariots, cavalry, and infantry. At the same time, his attitude of avoiding fighting against the wolf tribe's invasion has gradually made the wolf tribe think that Li Mu is a coward. Small, not enough to cause trouble, constantly fueling the arrogance of the wolves.

Li Mu's plan for five or six years was just to introduce the wolf army into Yanmen County and then encircle and annihilate it.

Li Mu, who was born in a nearby county, knew very well that with Zhao's military strength, it was not difficult to resist the wolf clan, but it was very difficult to severely damage the wolf clan.

Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao State's national strength has been greatly damaged. In recent years, Qin State has been going eastward, and most of them have targeted Zhao State. The purpose is to continuously weaken Zhao State, making it difficult for it to return to its peak national strength. That’s all.

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

It is precisely because of this that Li Mu and the former king of Zhao State conspired to plan a battle to severely damage the wolf clan, so that they would not dare to 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 being cowardly and cowardly. His plan was just to introduce the wolf army into Yanmen County, and then surround and annihilate the wolf army.

Regarding this plan, only the first king of Zhao and Li Mu in the entire Zhao Kingdom knew about it. Even the current Zhao Wang Yan did not know much about it. As for Sima Shang, who was the deputy general, he had no idea at all.

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

Thinking of this, Li Mu looked at Zi Nu with an imperceptible coldness. In order to severely damage the wolf clan and free the Zhao Kingdom's border troops from the pressure of the wolf clan, he and the Zhao Kingdom had already sacrificed too much. too much.

At this moment when success is about to happen, no accidents are allowed to occur. Even if it involves possibly innocent people, I must avoid future troubles. An uncontrollable murderous intention arose in Li Mu's heart.

But, what is a gentleman?

Being a gentleman does not mean that his conduct is flawless, nor does it mean that he will not have the slightest evil thoughts or malice. A true gentleman is one who can stick to his true heart when faced with inner turmoil.

And Li Mu is such a gentleman. When facing the enemy in battle, he can make all kinds of changes to win, but outside the battle, he will stick to his conduct.

When he sensed the murderous intention deep in his heart, Li Mu rejected the idea in an instant.

However, before the wolf clan is dealt with, the ghost lady cannot be allowed to leave Yanmen City to avoid causing complications. Li Mu made up his mind.

"I agree to Mrs. Ghost's condition. If the day you mentioned comes true, I will make up for the difference in the price of pig iron with war horses. However, Mrs. Ghost, let me say it beforehand. Gambling is risky." After a while, After thinking for a while, Li Mu gave his answer.

"I'm just willing to admit defeat." Zi Nu smiled and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was finally done.

Next, we just have to see whether Li Mu and the Zhao border army can really defeat the wolf clan as Yang Ming said.

Thinking of Yang Ming, Zi Nu's eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the hall. In order to open up the relationship with the county governor's house in the past few days, Zi Nu had put a lot of effort into it. She even went back and forth several times, and her legs were running rough.

But when she finally arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion, she saw Yang Ming in the hall. You know, is she still standing outside the hall now?

He has a relationship with the county magistrate 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 but bite her silver teeth secretly, and made up her mind that she would settle this account with Yang Ming later.
