Li Mu, who was wet all over and looked like a drowned rat, walked away angrily with an angry look on his face.
Walk to the door and stop.
"Mu go change some clothes."
Ying Chengyu looked at Han Fei sideways.
"To be honest, are you two having an affair? I thought the drunkard was going to beat you up."
When did Zhao Wuanjun, who had never been defeated on the battlefield, be able to bear the cold water poured on his head?
[If what your Majesty said later is just a trivial matter, this physical pain would be inevitable.]
"……What's the meaning?"
[It’s not a date with an alcoholic, it just needs to happen for a reason.]
"Buddhism hasn't entered the Central Plains yet, how dare you and Nai Gong fight against each other?"
Han Fei stopped writing.
Now it was his turn to be confused.
At the right time, Li Mu, who had changed his clothes, entered the room and wiped his wet hair with a towel.
He glanced down at Han Fei's book and roughly understood what Ying Chengyu and Han Fei were talking about earlier.
With a sneer on his face, he said: "Stuttering knew that on the day when your Majesty wanted me and the two of you to travel with the Crown Prince, he gave me the word 'control your anger', saying that if you don't control your temper, you may miss your Majesty's important events. I made an agreement with him that after provoking me,
, there must be a reason for the pastor to accept it.”
"I think I just poured a ladle of water on Mu, and he was using your Majesty's words as an excuse for stammering."
Ying Chengyu understood what Li Mu said, his eyes flickered back and forth between Li Mu and Han Fei, and said, "I actually have nothing important to do."
Han Fei looked at Ying Chengyu like a child, his eyes seeming to say why are you so childish.
Li Mu spread his legs and sat on the ground, saying: "Children's behavior."
You two are really bored and can't even watch the excitement.
Ying Chengyu secretly complained, put a fist to his mouth, and coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment.
"This time you two went to Shangjun with Fusu, not to go sightseeing..."
"In the bitter cold land outside the Great Wall, the only thing that can be seen is the barbarians' swords. In the vast Gobi Desert, there are no mountains and rivers to explore. Your Majesty, please don't say useless words."
Li Mu said coldly, as if he was angry that he had been showered with water just now.
It's not me who poured it, you can't stand it like me.
Ying Chengxin said straight to the point.
"Drunkard, your mission is to keep the nomads like the Huns and Huns from getting closer than ten miles to the Great Wall, and to keep the enemy at bay. I want the Hus to not dare to go south to herd horses, and the scholars to not dare to bend their bows and complain. Is there any problem?
"
"have."
Ying Chengyu frowned and his expression became more solemn. He did not expect that Li Mu would answer like this.
"what is the problem."
Ten years ago, Qin and Zhao fought at war.
The demise of the Zhao State was imminent, so Li Mu's border defense Zhao troops were transferred to Zhao to participate in the war. The Zhao State's border defense reached its lowest level in several years.
However, during the war between Qin and Zhao, there was no news that Zhao's border counties were breached.
The reason is not that the Hu people did not take advantage of others' dangers and behaved like gentlemen, but simply that Li Mu frightened the Huns.
The border army led by Li Mu only fought one battle with the Xiongnu, and in one battle they annihilated nearly 100,000 Xiongnu troops.
After the First World War, the Huns did not dare to approach Zhaobian County for nearly ten years, and they did not even dare to harass and investigate with small groups of cavalry.
Li Mu led the elite border troops to return to Zhao. The Huns had no idea about such a big event, which shows Li Mu's power to intimidate the Huns in the border counties.
What was possible ten years ago, why can’t it be done ten years later?
Li Mu put down his towel, took a sip of wine from the wine gourd on the table, and said, "I have no soldiers."
"The troops and horses of the seven counties of Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Taiyuan, Longxi, Beidi, Yanmen, and Shangjun are all at your disposal."
Li Mu didn't speak, just shook his head.
Ying Chengyu stared at Li Mu, whose expression was obviously gloomy, and sighed: "You are still entangled in the words Qin and Zhao, that's all. This matter is indeed difficult for you."
Zhao and Qin have been feuding since the Changping War, and the two countries regard each other as enemies.
This is especially true for Li Mu, who is the king of Zhao Wu'an, and has great hostility towards Qin.
The person Li Mu hated most was not Guo Kai, who killed him, but Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Zhao who destroyed Zhao.
Asking Li Mu to lead Qin's troops and horses to guard the frontier for Qin's defense was both logical and legal.
Li Mu's refusal was a matter of course.
"Your Majesty, you underestimated Mu."
Li Mu shook the wine gourd, and a slight "crash" sound came from inside the wine gourd.
"Although Mu often talks about restoring Zhao and destroying Qin, Mu can still see clearly the general trend of the world. From the day when Mu followed the king to Qin, Mu knew that with the king here, sooner or later the world's surname would be Ying.
"
"The world has been in chaos for two hundred years, and now there are signs of great order, which is the joy of the people. Mu likes what your Majesty said very much - the general trend of the world, if it is united for a long time, it will divide, and if it is divided for a long time, it will unite."
"This is the time for me to unify China. Mu has been by your side for nearly ten years and has long understood the words Qin and Zhao. Mu is not guarding the border for Qin, but guarding the border for me, China.
No complaints.”
After speaking, Li Mu raised his neck and raised the wine gourd to continue drinking.
Ying Chengyu snatched the wine gourd from Li Mu's hand, and a small amount of wine floated out from the mouth of the gourd and fell to the ground.
Ying Chengqiao buckled the stopper and said: "It sounds so nice, so you should do it. Ten years ago, you were in Yanmen and beat the Huns so much that they did not dare to come near the first part of Yanmen. Now I will give you soldiers and horses from seven counties.
Is it difficult for you to do what you did ten years ago?"
Li Mu glanced at the wine gourd.
"It's difficult. The Qin army is not the Zhao army. If your Majesty wants me to defend the enemy from outside in three years, I can."
Why does it take three years? The warriors of Great Qin are only stronger than the border troops of Zhao State. The border troops of Zhao State can defend the enemy from outside. There is no reason why the warriors of Great Qin cannot.
"Three years? I'm just waiting to use the Seven-County Change to get Brother Huang to support the reform. I'll give you one month at most. Just tell me directly where the problem lies."
Li Mu reached for the wine gourd.
Ying Chengxuan held the wine gourd firmly in his hand and stared at Li Mu with a look that said, "You better say something faster."
Li Mu took back his hand and smashed his mouth.
"Because there is no cavalry, the overall strength of the Qin army is superior to that of the Zhao army. But in terms of cavalry, the Qin army is far inferior to Mu's flying soldiers. The Central Plains is fortified by cities, and most of them are fortified battles."
"The Qin army followed orders and prohibited them, but was brave and unafraid of death. Everyone fought bravely to be the first, and was able to dominate the world. However, the desert and grasslands were unobstructed, and most of them were chase battles, which was a completely different method of warfare from the Central Plains."
"No matter how strong your infantry is, it will be difficult to withstand the cutting charge of cavalry in the open area. If the battlefield had been in the desert, let alone Wang Jian, even if he came back to life in vain, Mu would have eaten them all."
Ying Chengyu narrowed his eyes, and he understood what Li Mu meant.
Li Mu needed three years to train the cavalry.
"What if I have to do it within a month?"
"Then we need horseshoes, saddles, and stirrups to quickly build a cavalry army."
"But in this way, if the Hu people cannot be wiped out within a year, it will give the Hu people an opportunity to imitate the three things."
"When the barbarians are sitting on their saddles, riding in stirrups, and their horses are shoed, the Central Plains will be in danger."
