Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Ever since they got the medical book, Chang Qiong, Lu Sheng, Han Shui and Zi Yi locked themselves in their room to study. If they were unsure about something, they would discuss it together and they didn't leave the room for more than ten days.

The disciples were used to their master's situation and were busy with their own things.

Zhang Yuanqing was also busy. He had to start determining the teachers for each school in Daqin College.

Every day, people and cars come and go in Zhang's house, and Zhang Yuanqing is very busy.

Fortunately, with the help of Li Si and Feng Quji, the two kings of the scroll, Zhang Yuanqing shared a lot of things.

Every day when Li Si and Feng Quji came, Zhang Yuanqing would ask the kitchen to prepare sumptuous meals. In just a few days, Li Si and Feng Quji gained several pounds from eating so much.

Time slowly passed. When the first snow fell, the people of Qin realized that winter had come.

Every year at this time of year, they were starving and cold, and almost every household would have someone freeze to death or starve to death.

However, this year is different.

They had enough food to last them through the winter.

Those who went to work in the factory or signed up for recruitment could even have a meal of meat.

However, compared with the happiness of the people of Qin, the people in the northern border of Zhao had a much harder time.

Without General Li Mu this year, the Huns entered the northern border of Zhao State as if it were no man's land.

Those people looted, burned and killed people wherever they saw them, and even took the people of Zhao back home to store as food.

The people in the north suffered terribly.

Palace of King Zhao of Zhao

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are now wreaking havoc in the northern borders. Your Majesty must send a general to resist them as soon as possible."

Zhao Xin dragged his old body and looked at the current court of Zhao State, feeling sad.

"Your Majesty, Sima Shang and General Li Mu were originally working together to resist the Xiongnu. Now, you can hand over the northern border to Sima Shang."

Zhao Jia recovered and went to court again, but he only saw a few white hairs on his temples.

"Your Majesty, I think Zhao Cong and Yan Ju can resist the Xiongnu in the northern border."

Guo Kai also made a suggestion.

King Qian of Zhao looked at the court officials below and finally chose Guo Kai's opinion.

Zhao Jia's body swayed, but his colleagues beside him supported him in time, so he did not fall.

After leaving court, Zhao Jia fell ill again.

When King Qian of Zhao heard about it, he sent a doctor to treat Zhao Jia.

However, Zhao Jia did not recover from his illness after several days.

秦国

Zhangtai Palace

"Your Majesty, Zhao has lost General Li Mu in the north, and with Guo Kai in the court, I'm afraid they won't send a general to defend the northern border against the enemy. The people are suffering. Your Majesty, please issue a decree to allow all Zhao citizens to live in Qin."

Zhang Yuanqing said this and looked at Li Mu standing in the court, "Your Majesty, please send Li Mu to handle this matter."

"The people of the northern border of Zhao love General Li Mu. If they knew that General Li Mu was in Qin, they would definitely be willing to surrender."

Li Mu looked at the frail man and felt touched.

Over the years, he knew too well how the Huns had harmed the people.

Since the beginning of winter, Li Mu has always been concerned about the people in the northern border.

If the King of Qin was willing to accept the people of Zhao, Li Mu would devote himself to the cause and repay Qin until his death.

"Your Majesty, I second the motion."

Prime Minister Wei Zhuang bowed and said.

"I second the proposal."

Looking at the Qin court, Li Mu finally understood why Qin was so powerful.

At this time, Ying Zheng was sitting on the throne, also thinking about this matter seriously.

"allow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Mu bowed deeply and then stood up.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Li Mu walked to Zhang Yuanqing's side.

"Your Majesty cares deeply about the people, and I admire that. Li Mu would like to thank you for your generosity this time."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the future general and returned the greeting, "General Li Mu, there's no need to thank me. Your Majesty is virtuous and kind. Even if I hadn't mentioned this matter, Your Majesty would have made the same arrangement."

"I hope the general can comfort the people on your behalf."

"promise."

Li Mu looked at Zhang Yuanqing, then asked Zhang Yuanqing to leave first.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate and got on the carriage back after leaving Xianyang Palace.

Soon, Li Mu took the Qin King's summons and left Xianyang in the wind and snow, heading north.

With the promulgation of the Qin King's edict brought by Li Mu, the people of Zhao finally knew that General Li Mu, who was protecting them, was waiting for them in Qin.

During these days, wherever the Xiongnu went, they burned, killed, and looted everything. The people lived in fear.

Now that they knew Li Mu was in Qin, they packed up their things and prepared to go to Qin.

It's because they know that only with General Li Mu around can they be safe.

Li Mu also quickly led the army given by the King of Qin to start building shelters, and at the same time waited for the people of Zhao at the border.

Zhao Cong and Yan Ju were furious when they learned that a large number of people had fled to Qin.

"Li Mu, you are so insidious."

The two men quickly led the army to intercept the civilians.

A large number of Zhao people were intercepted by the Zhao army and dared not go to Qin.

Some people who left secretly would be executed along with their entire family if they were discovered.

For a moment, the people of Zhao burst into tears.

The news was brought to Qin along with the people who successfully escaped.

Li Mu clenched his fists and glared in the direction of Zhao.

After asking Lian Jue and Tian Wei to arrange for the people, Li Mu quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Xianyang at an express speed of 800 miles.

At this time, the northern border of Zhao.

The soldiers had already begun to express dissatisfaction with Zhao Cong and Yan Ju.

Among those whom Zhao Cong ordered to be killed were their relatives.

So many soldiers would quietly let some civilians go, and some soldiers even fled to Qin with their families.

For a time, the North began to fall into chaos.

However, Zhao Cong and Yan Ju have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

During a Xiongnu invasion, Zhao Cong ordered Sima Shang to lead troops to fight against the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were fierce and powerful, and the Zhao army's morale was unstable at that time, so how could they defeat them?

Sima Shang was beheaded by the Xiongnu and the Zhao army fled in all directions.

At this time, Li Mu was guarding the border between Qin and Zhao with his army. In just a few days, he had received more than 10,000 soldiers who had fled from Zhao, and countless civilians.

Just as Li Mu was waiting anxiously, the summons from the King of Qin came.

Li Mu is my favorite general, and I have confidence in his ability. I order him to lead an attack on the northern border of Zhao State, to stop the Xiongnu and protect the people.

The army's food and fodder were delivered later, so General Li Mu did not have to worry about supplies from the rear.

I will leave full authority over this battle to you, General. I am waiting for your victory report in Xianyang.

Li Mu turned it over and over, read it carefully several times, his eyes red.

"Li Mu will definitely conquer the northern border of Zhao for the king and protect every inch of Qin's territory."

After saying this, he bowed deeply in the direction of Xianyang City, and then Li Mu began to summon generals to discuss the attack on Zhao.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and the people cannot wait too long.

Li Mu quickly dispatched troops. At this time, Zhao Cong and Yan Ju had been beaten by the Huns without any chance to fight back.

When encountering Li Mu's army, many soldiers surrendered without a fight. Zhao Cong was protected and fled from the northern border, and Yan Ju was beheaded by Li Mu.

At this point, a large area of ​​land in the northern border of Zhao State belonged to Qin.

Afterwards, Li Mu sent troops to resist the Huns again.

The Huns had been suppressed by Li Mu in recent years, and now they were facing Li Mu again, so naturally they were no match for him.

Li Mu quickly eliminated the Huns in the northern border. In just one month, all the Huns were driven out of the northern border.
