There is a large camp on a plain fifty miles north of Jingyang City, where more than 20,000 elite cavalry of the Zhao State led by Li Mu are encamped.

On this day, a convoy arrived from the north and slowly drove into the camp under the escort of 2,000 cavalry.

This convoy was carrying a large amount of grain, which was captured by Li Mu from Liyang City, first transported to the territory controlled by the Yiqu people, and now transported to the Zhao army camp.

Yiqusheng was beside Li Mu, looking at Li Mu's expression was a little strange: "Li Mu, are you planning to burn Jingyang City again?" ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng, and then shook his head: "I'm not interested, I can't burn it." ”

said that he was not interested, but if he could really burn down Jingyang City, in fact, Li Mu would really think about it.

It's just that the problem is that there are more than 50,000 Qin troops stationed in Jingyang City now, and if you want to attack a city with 50,000 defenders with 20,000 cavalry, this is definitely an act of looking for death.

Yi Qusheng pursed his lips and said, "In that case, then why are you still letting people transport grain here?" ”

Li Mu glanced at Yi Qusheng with a strange expression, and said, "This guy of yours has now looted all the villages and cities that can only be robbed within a radius of a hundred miles, but now they are no longer enough to eat. If you don't transport food, then where will the food come from in the army? ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Yi Qusheng waved his hand and said, "I mean, since you know that Jingyang City cannot be breached, it is even more impossible to bypass Jingyang City to attack Xianyang City, right?" In that case, then why are you still here? I have heard that the Yueshi seem to have begun to organize a large army and prepare to cross the Yellow River and march eastward. ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng with some surprise: "You also know the news of the Yue Clan?" ”

Yiqu Sheng laughed and said, "If it weren't for the help of the Yue Clan and the Lin Hu people, how do you think we Yiqu people have obtained those weapons under the close surveillance of the Qin people over the years?" ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "No wonder the quality of the weapons of the Yiqu people such as you is so poor, it is no different from the burning stick, it turns out that they are from the Yue Clan and the Lin Hu people, so it's no wonder." ”

“……”

Looking at Yi Qusheng with a deflated expression, Li Mu was in a good mood for some reason.

The depressed Yiqu Sheng kicked a small stone in the tent, and then said to Li Mu: "You called me over today just to say this?" ”

Li Mu smiled: "Of course not. According to the order of our king, the founding ceremony of your Yiqu Kingdom can be prepared. ”

"Oh?" Yi Qusheng's eyes lit up, and the look of chagrin on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by an incomparably excited look.

To be honest, before this, Yiqu Sheng had always been a little worried about whether the people of Zhao Guo would keep their promise and really let themselves establish Yiqu State.

After all, the current strength of the Zhao State is much stronger than that of the Yiqu people, and without the support of the Zhao State, the Yiqu State will not be able to resist the attack of the Qin people at all.

But Yiqu Sheng can't resist the temptation of establishing a country, you must know that no matter how small this country is, it is also a country, and being able to lead Yiqu people to restore the country successfully is an achievement that is enough to go down in history.

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng, looking at Yi Qu Sheng's ecstatic appearance, he couldn't help but say a blow: "Your Yiqu country is only half a county, what can you be proud of?" ”

Yiqu Sheng laughed and said, "Although it is half a county now, it can be slowly expanded in the future, isn't it?" By the way, you really don't think about being the prime minister of my Yiqu country? ”

Li Mu snorted and said to Yiqu Sheng: "If you can have 20,000 elite cavalry under your command one day, maybe I will consider it." ”

"20,000 cavalry?" Yiqu Sheng waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "In five years at most, there will be 20,000 cavalry in the Yiqu Congress." ”

"20,000 cavalry, unclothed, armed with wooden bows and bone arrows, old and young?"

"Well...... this"

Having said that, the topic obviously can't continue.

Li Mu took out another thing from his arms and threw it at Yiqusheng: "Next." ”

Yi Qusheng subconsciously caught such a thing, and when he held it in his hand, he only felt a cold feeling of warmth and moistness, but it was a cyan jade seal.

"This is ......" Yi Qusheng looked up at Li Mu in surprise.

"Try it yourself." Li Mu picked up the ink clay in his hand and gestured towards Yiqusheng.

With a snap, the seal stained with mud was heavily stamped, and then a seal suddenly appeared.

Yi Qusheng squinted his eyes and looked at the four words in the seal, and after a moment, he finally spoke: "What is written on this?" ”

Li Mu: "...... Yiqu King Seal. This is a gift from the king to you to congratulate you on the founding of the country. ”

The smile on Yi Qusheng's face became even richer, and he grabbed the jade seal in his hand and refused to let go: "Very good, it's really good." When you have the opportunity in the future, you must convey to me my gratitude to your king. ”

Li Mu nodded, glanced at Yiqu Sheng with very strange eyes, and then said, "You can go." ”

Yiqu Sheng smiled happily: "Okay, I'll go." ”

"No, you misunderstood me. What I mean is that you can lead your 4,000 cavalry back to Yiqu. ”

"Huh?" Yi Qusheng was stunned: "Are you going to make peace with the people of Qin?" ”

Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng and said very quietly: "Bai Qi is coming back." ”

"White rising?" Yi Qusheng's body shook violently, and his face subconsciously showed a frightened expression.

"Yes, according to the information just came, Bai Qi is about to return to Guanzhong, and there will be a big battle between Qin and Zhao in Guanzhong. If you don't want your 4,000 men to be lost in this battle, then you can leave now. ”

Yiqu Sheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Zhao Guo is our ally of the Yiqu people, we Yiqu people have no habit of abandoning our allies, we will participate in this battle." ”

Yi Qu Sheng's tone was very firm.

"It's not about abandoning allies." Li Mu let out a sigh of relief lightly and looked at Yiqu Sheng with a serious gaze: "If you lose all your 4,000 men and horses in this battle, then who will defend your Yiqu Kingdom in the future?" ”

Yiqu Sheng was stunned.

After a long time, Yiqu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I owe you Zhao Guo this time, and I will definitely repay it in the future!" ”

After saying this, Yiqu Sheng walked out without looking back.

Outside the tent, the horn of the Yiqu people began to sound.

Li Mu watched Yi Qusheng's figure disappear in his sight, the expression on his face was quite complicated, and he looked like he was reluctant to leave his friend, and at the same time there was a trace of guilt.
