"Tait!"

The war horse galloped, and Li Mu traveled from Yanmen County day and night to Handan.

He ignored his fatigue and handed over the war horse to his subordinates, and went straight towards the palace.

In the palace, King Zhao was waiting quietly in the study.

"King, General Li Mu is here!"

King Zhao rubbed his eyebrows slightly tiredly and said, "Let him come in."

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Li Mu slowly walked into the study. After seeing the King Zhao who was lying in front of the case to handle official duties, he hurried forward to salute.

King Zhao waved his hand and told Li Mu not to be polite, and then put down his official duties and asked, "I am consulting you about the Huns. Why don't you answer with letters? Instead, you run around for several days and rush back to Handan overnight?"

Li Mu replied, "I am here because the king wrote letters!"

King Zhao's face was slightly dark, and he thought to himself: "Is it because Li Mu wanted to question me why he went back on his word and interfered in the matter of Northern Xinjiang again?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mu's next words shocked King Zhao a little.

"I want to fight to combat and pacify the Huns, but I don't know if the king is willing to help me."

King Zhao felt that he had heard something wrong and asked again: "What did you say just now?"

Li Mu took a deep breath and said slowly and firmly: "I want to fight to combat and pacify the Huns. I don't know if the king is willing to help me!"

King Zhao heard it clearly this time, but became more and more surprised.

"Didn't you never fight with the Huns in the past, but just passive defense? Why did you suddenly change this?"

No wonder King Zhao reacted like this.

Li Mu was stationed in northern border a few years ago, and even if only a small number of Huns invaded, he did not dare to go out to hunt down the thieves.

Even though King Zhao repeatedly issued an edict to attack, Li Mu was always a turtle with his head and would rather be removed from office against the king's order than go out to fight the Huns.

Therefore, everyone thought that Li Mu was timid and afraid of fighting, and only dared to seize the city and defend the city.

Li Mu's image is so deeply rooted in people's hearts, so when he said that he wanted to fight to calm the Huns, King Zhao was so unbelievable.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled, his smile was very bright.

"Even the king thought that the last general was a timid and war-afraid man who had repeatedly plagued northern borders over the years, but came and went freely and never suffered setbacks, what would the Huns think?"

King Zhao was a little stunned at first, and then said, "He naturally thought he was afraid of the enemy and did not dare to fight."

Li Mu said again: "If the Huns had such ambition to invade a large scale, they would set up a trap and attack it with the might of the country. Can they fight to combat the Huns in one battle?"

When King Zhao heard this, he was stunned, and a blush suddenly appeared on his old face.

Even when the powerful King Wuling of Zhao was in power, there was no good idea for the northern Huns who came and went like the wind.

In the past century, Zhao State has been even more troubled. Even if a lot of manpower and material resources have been wasted in northern Xinjiang, it cannot truly solve the problem of the Huns.

If it is true as Li Mu said, first lure the Huns into the turmoil, and then encircle and annihilate them with the power of the country. Even if the Huns cannot be completely destroyed, the Huns can still be depressed from then on.

Zhao Dan's biggest defeat was the Battle of Changping, which was an indelible stain on his life.

Even if Lian Po defeated Yan State with his inferior forces later, he could not completely offset the impact of Changping's defeat.

"If, if it can really defeat the Huns and completely solve the disasters in the northern border, can I compensate for my merits and demerits!"

Thinking of this, King Zhao's breathing was a little rapid.

Zhao Dan is not a foolish monarch. Compared with his son Zhao Yan and his grandson Zhao Qian, he is definitely a wise monarch.

If it weren't for the defeat of Changping, Zhao Dan's historical achievements would not be even lower than that of King Zhao Huiwen.

As King Zhao, Zhao Dan did not want to be infamous for thousands of years, nor did he want to let Zhao go to an end because of the defeat in Changping.

"The king ordered his ministers to attack the Huns in the north, and this is not impossible."

"However, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers that the Huns can fight, and the cavalry will go from place to place, and it will be easy to break and difficult to destroy."

"For several years, my garrison in the northern border has repeatedly retreated and concessions. The kings, the ministers and the Huns all thought that they were cowardly and dared not fight, but this was not the case."

"If you don't destroy the Huns, even if you spend money and food to destroy them, it will be difficult to damage their muscles and bones. It is better to avoid fighting, accumulate energy and slack your heart."

"When the Huns saw that their ministers did not dare to fight with them for several years, they would inevitably be despised and went south to rob and robbery became more and more unscrupulous."

Li Mu talked endlessly and told King Zhao about all his endurance over the years.

The more Zhao Wang heard, his eyes became brighter and his old face was red.

If we really can do our best in this battle, coupled with the achievements of the past two years, King Zhao may be able to slightly cleanse the shame of Changping's great defeat.

In history books, it may be slightly better to evaluate it.

"Master, are you willing to fight?"

Li Mu stared at King Zhao with a burning gaze, his voice excited.

"What do you need to do?"

Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "If you want to quell the Huns' troubles, you must launch a national war. It is difficult to achieve such a big thing by relying solely on the defenses in the northern border."

"I have been planning for a long time. This battle requires 1,300 chariots, 20,000 cavalrymen, 50,000 infantrymen, and 100,000 archers. In addition to the original soldiers and horses in the northern border, the king also needs to dispatch 1,300 chariots, 10,000 cavalrymen, 50,000 infantrymen, and 50,000 archers."

"In addition, food, supplies and supplies must be prepared, and bows and crossbows and arrows must be sufficient. Only in this way can we fight and eliminate the problems of the Huns."

King Zhao, who was already very motivated, had a stiff face when he heard Li Mu's request.

So many soldiers, chariots, and logistics supplies, and civilians are not far apart even if they are not considered a battle that will sway the country.

Although Zhao State can gather these troops, it will consume a lot of money.

If you win this battle, you will naturally not lose if you send so many troops. If you lose, it will be more than worth the loss.

Zhao State, which had just recovered some national strength, would fall into decline again due to defeat, and the King of Zhao had to be cautious.

"According to your words, this battle should break out in winter."

"It's already extremely cold before winter begins this year. When fighting with the Huns in winter, if you can't prepare for keeping the cold, many soldiers will probably freeze to death."

"If you prepare enough clothes, money and food, it will be an extremely huge burden for the entire Zhao State."

"Why not, start a war in another time?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I have kept a low profile for several years, which made the Huns think that I dare not fight. They also took the opportunity to train soldiers and consolidate border defenses. All soldiers have the intention to fight."

"We occupy the harmony of people with a mind."

"The weather is cold, and the Huns will inevitably lead their tribes to go south to rob, and this is the time of heaven."

"The two sides fought in Zhao territory. As Zhao people, we are Zhao people. We know the terrain better than the Huns. This is the advantage of the territory."

"The time, place, and people are all in harmony. We should fight the whole country and make contributions in one battle. We must not look forward to the front and miss the opportunity."

"If we really want to wait until the weather gets warmer, the Huns may not be able to join their tribes to rob the south."

King Zhao stood up and paced back and forth in the house for a long time.

He remembered the people's private fingers at him because of the defeat in Changping a few years ago, and the various infamous he was carrying.

King Zhao's face suddenly became ferocious, and suddenly became worried about gains and losses.

If you win, you can make another great contribution before you die.

If defeated, the Zhao Kingdom, which had just begun to revival, will once again push into the Abyss Purgatory.

He didn't know whether he wanted to gamble.
