Chapter 772 Wrong typing? I’m right!

At this time, the three countries did not know that they were about to be in disaster.

Of course, it's useless even if they know it. Strength is the most powerful conspiracy in the world. In the face of absolute strength, they can't do anything.

Zhao Jun marched all the way south. After leaving Donghu's territory, Zhao Jun completely lost its logistical supplies. The only way to avoid starving to death was to eat from the enemy.

Most of the three countries of Haoqi, Gaoyi, and Jizi are mountainous, with rugged roads and lush woods. Low cities are scattered across the vast land. It takes a long time to walk to the next city.

Fortunately, there are enough "guides" in the Zhao army. They are familiar with the distribution of cities in the country, and they also know which road is the closest, which road is best to take, which force is the strongest and which force is the weakest.

Li Mu was not stingy with money. As long as he could provide useful information, he would reward them one after another. He even said that after the battle, he would grant them household registration and allow them to become Zhao people.

In the eyes of these Rong Di, the State of Zhao has always been synonymous with strength and prosperity, and the people of Zhao are a symbol of nobility. They all dream of joining the State of Zhao and becoming noble people of Zhao.

With the help of these guides, Zhao Jun encountered few obstacles along the way and arrived at Qicheng very smoothly.

The Hao Kingdom once had two powerful tribes, the Hao and Hao tribes. Later, the Hao tribe was annexed by the Hao tribe, forming the current Hao family. The largest cities in the territory are Hao City and Hao City.

In fact, although Haoyun is a country, it is actually more like a tribal alliance. Each tribe retains a high degree of autonomy. It has constant internal conquests and mergers with each other. Even Lord Haoyun cannot stop it.

Only when facing foreign enemies, the tribes will unite. This is very similar to Donghu, except that like the Central Plains, Haocheng has already lived a settled life, focusing on farming, fishing and hunting, and Haocheng is exactly the same as Haocheng.

The capital of the second largest tribe, the tribe.

Although Qicheng is the second largest city in Qicheng, it does not appear tall and majestic because of it. The city wall made of earthen dam is only about two meters high and only half a mile long from east to west. The city wall is bare and crude.

Two skinny soldiers walked back and forth on the city wall, but did not look outside the city, but looked around casually. It was obvious that Qicheng had not encountered a war for a long time, so that they forgot to be vigilant.

"It seems that the news of the defeat of the Haoqi army has not come yet." Li Mu stood behind a bush and looked at Qicheng and said in a low voice.

After the Zhao army defeated the allied forces of Haoqi, Gaoyi, and Jizi, they went south the next day without any rest and recuperation. They traveled non-stop all the way, and almost all of them were on their way during the day.

Although some tribes were wiped out easily, little time was wasted.

This is also to capture the Three Kingdoms by surprise before the news comes back.

So far, the plan is very successful.

At least there was no reaction from Qicheng.

"Send the order, all soldiers mount their horses and prepare to attack the city." Li Mu said in a deep voice. Although the cavalry is not good at attacking cities, small broken cities of this level are definitely not included in this category.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s not that I’m afraid of Zhao or anything, it’s just that I’m unhappy with Lord Hao, so I didn’t send troops.

Who would have thought that he would be the first to be destroyed, but instead Hao Qi, Gao Yi, and Ji Zi Chao were fine.

"..." Even though Li Mu was already very thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed that Zhao Jun had traveled so far and killed the wrong target.

But you can’t blame him. If you ask any general of Zhao State to come over, he won’t be able to tell who is who among the various tribes within Haoqiang!

Apart from Hao Qianren himself, how can outsiders figure this thing out?

When the Zhao State fought with the Xiongnu, would they distinguish between the various tribes of the Xiongnu? What a joke, let alone the internal tribes of the Xiongnu, it was normal for Loufan and Xiongnu to be exterminated as if they were the Xiongnu.

Even for the Zhao State, this is not a mistake at all. It is you who are at fault for not drawing a clear line with the other party in time, so you can only be destroyed by the Zhao State.

Thinking of this, Li Mu felt much better.

"Don't worry, I will kill Yu Qian and avenge you." Li Mu patted Qian Jun on the shoulder to express comfort.

Jun Jun looked at Li Mu in shock. How shameless could he say such a thing? You were the one who beat me. What do you mean by killing him and avenging me?

"Take it away." Li Mu waved his hand and said. Qin Jun's thoughts were not important to him, just like a person wouldn't feel guilty for stepping on an ant.

"Gather the officials in the city and kill them if they don't obey. The obedient ones will be kept until the king sends someone to take them over." Li Mu said to Sima Shang.

"It would take nearly a month to get here from Handan at the fastest," Sima Shang said.

"One month is enough to wipe out the three kingdoms of Haoqi, Gaoyi, and Jizi. Let the king send more people over to prevent insufficient manpower." Li Mu said.

"..." Sima Shang.

Early the next morning, Li Mu led the Zhao army and left Qicheng, leaving no one behind.

Ten days later, Zhao Jun arrived outside Haocheng.

Haocheng is slightly larger than Qicheng. It can be regarded as a county seat in a remote area in the Central Plains. It is backed by mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are many soldiers patrolling the city and the city gates are closed.

"General, should we attack directly or..." Sima Shang looked at Li Mu. As long as he takes Haocheng and kills or captures Lord Haoqi alive, in name, Haoqi's country will be subjugated.

"Don't worry, let's surround the area and call for reinforcements. It would be good to have more than a thousand soldiers in such a small city. Mr. Hao Qian will definitely be unable to sit still." Li Mu said with a smile.

Haoqian's farming technology is low, and its productivity level is backward. It cannot build a tall city, and there can't be many people living in the city. Most of the population is distributed outside the city. Seeing the Zhao army besieging the city, they will definitely recruit soldiers from the surrounding villages. At the same time,

Ask for help from other surrounding tribes.

Haoqi's territory is very large, comparable to the size of the entire Yan Kingdom, and the territory is basically mountainous, with few plains. Zhao Jun's understanding of Haoqi is far less thorough than that of Donghu. Even if there is a guide to lead the way, he still can't eat it.

Less pain.

If you attack one city after another, it will not only waste time, but also increase unnecessary casualties.

It is obviously more trouble-free to gather enemies together and defeat them than to defeat them one by one.

The Zhao army had already defeated 50,000 Haoqian troops in Donghu. If there could be another battle, there would not be many adult men left in Haoqiang. Basically, it would depend on the message.

But Li Mu's plan was obviously going to come to nothing.

Half an hour later, the closed city gate suddenly opened wide, and a man dressed as a leader with a goose feather on his head walked toward the outside of the city with more than ten people. After seeing Zhao Jun, he was extremely excited and walked quickly.

When he arrived in front of Li Mu, he knelt down with a 'pop' sound.

"We barbarians have been looking forward to Master Wang for a long time. Today we are able to see Master Wang. We barbarians are so grateful that we don't know what to say." Jun Hao Qian knelt in front of Li Mu and said with tears and runny noses. He was more excited than meeting his biological father.

"Jun Hao, please get up quickly." Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then quickly showed a look of fear, got off his horse, and helped Jun Hao up.

If he hadn't known that the other party had just recruited troops from all over the country to support Dong Hu, he almost thought that what the other party said was true.

But in this case, the news of the defeat of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces should have come back.

Jun Haoqian knew that there was no possibility of defeating the Zhao army, so he surrendered decisively and prayed for Zhao's forgiveness.

"It seems that the speed is still slow." Li Mu sighed. The main reason was that the road was too difficult to walk, and the Great Wall Army could not increase its speed. If they were in the plains, they would definitely be able to destroy Hao Qi before the news came back.

"I am honored to meet the general today. We barbarians are truly glorious and blessed. The general does not know that although we are barbarians, we have always been devoted to the Central Plains, praying for the emperor, and hoping to listen to the emperor's teachings.

"Jun Hao said.

"Where did Hao Qianjun learn this elegant language from?" Li Mu asked curiously. Hao Qianjun's accent was very strange and he needed to listen carefully to understand it, but Li Mu was sure that what Hao Qianjun said was definitely elegant.

Rather than Haoyu.

He had heard the exchanges between Haoqian soldiers and could not understand them at all.

"General, our Haoqiang had some contacts with the Central Plains in the past, so I learned some Central Plains dialect. Speaking of which, there are some connections between me and the State of Zhao. Hundreds of years ago, our Haoqiang also sent an envoy to visit us.

After passing through the King of Zhou, the King of Zhou also ennobled us Hao Xiang as a vassal state." Lord Hao Xiang began to build relationships and raise the banner.

"Is this happening?" Li Mu looked at Sima Shang.

"The general doesn't know either, but the general has heard that Duke Huan of Qi once attacked Haoqi." Sima Shang said.

"Haha." Li Mu patted Jun Hao's shoulder and said with a smile, "I have good news to tell Jun Hao."

"Good news?" Hao Qianjun looked at Li Mu doubtfully.

"Jun Hao's wish is about to come true. Do you think it's good news?" Li Mu said.

"My wish?" Hao Qianjun was still a little confused.

"Jun Hao said that his heart is in the Central Plains and hopes to listen to the emperor's teachings. In a few days, I will send Jun Hao to Handan to meet the emperor. I wonder if the general will be happy." Li Mu circled around Jun Hao.

, long-term battles are really boring, Li Mu doesn't mind looking for fun from Hao Qianjun to make himself happy.

"Happy." Jun Haoqian's fingers trembled slightly, a smile uglier than crying appeared on his old face, and he leaned over and said, "It's just... we barbarians are born to be despicable, and I'm afraid it will stain the emperor's eyes."

"Don't worry, our Emperor Zhao's eyes are very good and cannot be tarnished by ordinary people. If you can tarnish them, that's your fault." Li Mu patted Jun Hao's shoulder and said nonchalantly.

"It's just... if the foreign minister goes to Handan, Hao Qian may cause trouble." Jun Hao Qian said.

"With my general here, there won't be any trouble. Even if all the tribes in Haoqian unite, I can easily put it down." Li Mu waved his hand and said.

"I..." Jun Hao was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Mu, who said in a deep voice, "Could it be that what Jun Hao just said about his heart for the Central Plains and his hope to listen to the emperor's teachings was all a lie?"

"No, it's absolutely true." Hao Qianjun said quickly.

"That's it. Don't worry, Lord Hao. Our Emperor Zhao is very kind. He will be very happy to see you." Li Mu's eyes gradually turned cold, and he exuded a faint murderous intention.

"Thank you, General." Hao Qianjun tried his best to smile, broke his teeth and swallowed.

If he is obedient at this time, he can still survive. If he dares to rebel, he may be killed by Zhao Jun immediately.

As the king of the Haoqi Kingdom, he not only had no deterrent effect on Zhao Jun, but even had great attraction.

"Alas!" Jun Haoqian sighed deeply. He looked much older. He stretched out his hand to hold the reins of Li Mu's horse, leaned over and said, "General, please enter the city."
