"Longcheng urgently reported?" Li Mu's face suddenly became extremely solemn, and his eyes were so bright that he shot out, but he didn't ask.

Not only did Li Mu look ugly, but who among the generals is worse than that? They all stared at the scout with a stern face.

"But the Huns invaded?" Sima Shang glanced at Li Mu and asked.

"The Huns invaded in a large scale, with no less than 500,000 people." The scout's words were amazing.

"What? 500,000?" Everyone, including Li Mu, were all scared and shouted loudly.

For a moment, the shouts were like thunder, shaking the ground tremble.

The Huns invaded long ago as Li Mu expected. The Huns coveted the Hetao land and wanted to take over it. When did they not attack Zhao State in the year? Therefore, when he heard the scout say "Longcheng urgently reported", Li Mu guessed that it must be that the Huns had an abnormal movement and were about to invade again.

What surprised him was that this time the Huns actually invaded in large numbers and dispatched more than 500,000 people. How shocking it was.

The Huns are nomadic people on the grassland. They are powerful in military force, archery and are proficient in riding and shooting, and can live their lives on horseback. They come and go like the wind and are extremely difficult to deal with, which makes the Central Plains a headache. In order to resist the Xiongnu, Qin, Zhao and Yan, the Three Kingdoms have built a Great Wall for thousands of miles. Even so, they are still very troubled to the Xiongnu. If they are not careful, the Xiongnu will take advantage of their expertise in riding and shooting to attack from places where they cannot be prepared for the Central Plains and carry out plunder. If the Central Plains counterattack, the Xiongnu will immediately escape, and the Central Plains will not be able to catch up if they want to chase them.

Moreover, this time, the Huns no longer had a small fight, but had to launch a large-scale attack and dispatch 500,000 people, which has never been seen in the history of the Huns.

Think about it decades ago, during the Zhao Wuling period, the Huns sent out 300,000 people to move south in large numbers. They wanted to occupy the Hetao territory, but were defeated by King Wuling of Zhao.

If the Huns dispatched 500,000 people in normal times, it would be enough to shock Mo Ming, let alone Li Mu's most difficult period at the moment.

Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao's elite troops have been drawn, leaving only 20,000 old and weak. It is because of these 20,000 old and weak that Li Mu has defended Jiuyuan. It is already rare.

You should know that since the Changping War, Li Mu has not received any supplement from one army and one soldier in Zhao State, but has not received a grain of food and a piece of money from Zhao State. Arms, weapons, food and grass, and silver... For everything related to resisting the Huns, Li Mu has to find a way for him. How difficult his life is.

Even under such a difficult situation, I suddenly received news that the Huns had dispatched 500,000 people to move south. Even with Li Mu's courage, his face changed drastically.

“…”

Immediately afterwards, there was a silence like death. The generals opened their mouths and their eyes widened. Like a statue, they could only be frightened.

It’s not that they were timid, but that the Huns were powerful and came in full force.

"What are you afraid of? What's there to be afraid of? At worst, fight the Huns to the death. Kill one with enough money, kill one with one pair and earn one!"

"Yes! Fight with the Huns."

After a while, the generals reacted and shouted in a verbal manner, but none of them retreated and were willing to fight the Huns to the death.

China has never been ambiguous when resisting foreign races. Even in a chaotic world like the Warring States Period, countless passionate patriots sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, and never regretted it.

The generals of Zhao State in front of you are the best explanation.

Li Mu raised his right hand and the quarrel between the generals came to an abrupt end, as if it was cut by scissors. Although Li Mu was young, younger than all the generals, no one had to convince his talent.

Especially after the Changping War, Zhao Jiuyuan's situation in the past two years was extremely difficult. If he had changed someone, he would have lost Jiuyuan County long ago. However, Li Mu was able to maintain Jiuyuan under such a difficult situation. No matter how much praise he praised, the generals were very convinced by him. When he saw that he was about to speak, he would cheer up, prick up his ears, and listen quietly.

As the generals watched, Li Mu opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, Li Mu looked up at the sky and sighed: "Oh!"

This sigh didn't matter, and the hearts of the generals were almost broken.

"General, what should we do? Tell me." The anxious general shouted.

"Yes. The general will do whatever he says. Even if he goes up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, we will never frown." The generals agreed in unison.

Li Mu pointed at the generals with his right index finger, but he still didn't say anything for a long time, which made the generals even more surprised, but no one dared to ask questions.

Based on their understanding of Li Mu, if it weren't for something extremely difficult to decide, he wouldn't have done so.

"The 500,000 Xiongnu people went south and vowed to occupy the Hetao territory, but the Great Zhao was broken and could not resist. I only had 20,000 old and weak in my hands, and I could not resist anyway..." Li Mu and Zhang Yu spoke, but he felt extremely sad.

His words can be very shocking, causing the generals to lower their heads and sigh silently.

Even if Li Mu didn't say it, they understood how difficult the situation was. It could be said that it was the most difficult time since the construction of Jiuyuan County of Zhao State. Even if Li Mu was able to do it, he would be able to withstand the 500,000 Huns by just 20,000 old and weak.

"There is only one way to protect Jiuyuan..." Li Mu's tone was still very painful, but it gave hope to the generals.

"General, what can I do?" the generals asked hurriedly.

"Seeking for help!" Li Mu's words were very simple, without losing strength, but they all opened their mouths and eyes widened, and could not speak for a long time.

Not only are they unable to speak, their faces are distorted, and they are even more ugly than crying.

Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't know that it is time to ask for help? The problem is that Zhao State has been destroyed by Qin State, and it is useless to ask for help from Zhao State.

"General, it's good to ask for help, but can we ask for reinforcements?" Sima Shang was stunned for a long time before hesitating: "The State of Zhao has been broken, and even if the emperor wants to send troops to help, there are no soldiers."

At present, Zhao State has already made a vassal to Qin State and is a minister of Qin State. The entire Zhao State does not have much military force, and even if King Xiaocheng of Zhao is willing to reinforce Li Mu, he will not be able to provide troops.

"What I'm talking about is not asking for help from Zhao, but from Qin." Li Mu's tone was a little low, completely different from his strong and powerful voice in the past.

"What? What? Ask for help from Qin?"

"I heard it right?"

"Pinch me. Do I feel it hurt?"

"Ah! Are you really pinching?"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the generals looked surprised. They were all incredible, and they felt like they were dreaming.

Li Mu's words were too difficult to believe. They could clearly understand them, but they couldn't believe them and were unwilling to believe them.

Qin and Zhao are deadly enemies. Although King Xiaocheng of Zhao became a minister and became a minister of Qin, this kind of hatred accumulated over decades cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. The generals still hate Qin. If they see the shadow of the Qin people, they will cut a few times. Li Mu actually asked Qin for help. Is there anything more incredible to them than this?

At this moment, they would rather believe that the sun rises from the west than that it is true.

"The general is making fun of us and talking and laughing." Sima Shang hurriedly smoothed out the situation.

"Yes, the general is joking and boosting our morale." The smart generals hurriedly agreed.

This is the best way to break the embarrassment at the moment, however, Li Mu looked solemn and extremely serious, saying, "What I said is true! If you want to protect Jiuyuan and Hetao, you can only ask Qin for help."

"General..." The generals shouted loudly, about to refute, but waved to Li Mu to stop him.

"I can understand your feelings, why am I feeling sad?" Li Mu said in a deep voice: "You all know that in the battle between Zhongmu, all the elites in Shandong were lost, their vitality was severely damaged, and they were unable to fight again. Looking at the world, only Qin can resist the Huns, and only Qin can protect the Hetao land!"

"..." The generals were silent for a while, wanting to speak, but they didn't know where to start.

Li Mu was right. In the current situation, only Qin can resist the Huns, and only Qin can protect the Hetao land. Except for Qin, no Warring States has such strength.

"You hate Qin, and I hate Qin, but I hate Qin as light as a feather compared to protecting Hetao." Li Mu's eyes flashed, and his voice turned high, saying, "Although Qin and Zhao's hatred are deep, it is China's private hatred, and it is our own business. The invasion of the Huns is a foreign invasion, and it is the public indignation of China. We should take personal hatred as light and public indignation as the most important. Together with Qin, we can resist the Huns, protect the border and Hetao as the only thing we can do."

"..." The generals were still silent.

They are not unaware that what Li Mu said makes sense and very reasonable. The problem is that they are reluctant to accept this fact.

"You all know the importance of Hetao. If Hetao is lost, the Huns will use Hetao as the basis to explore Yan State and invade the Central Plains again. We will all become sinners for eternity and cannot explain to future generations!" Li Mu's voice became even higher, and he had the power to shock people.

They would not be unaware of the importance of Hetao. It is precisely because Hetao is too important that the Huns repeatedly wanted to occupy Hetao and build Hetao into a strategic base for attacking the Central Plains. If Hetao falls into the hands of the Huns, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will be a crime that will be a disaster for generations and no one can afford it.

"What General Li said is very reasonable. This is the best way to relieve the disaster of the Huns at the moment. I agree." Sima Shang was the first to express his support.

"I agree, too."

"I agree."

The generals expressed their opinions one after another, but their voices were extremely low, like mosquitoes. If Li Mu hadn't had good ear sounds, he wouldn't have heard them at all.

They hated Qin to the core, but wanted to ask Qin for help. This was bowing to Qin, and they felt very uncomfortable.

"General, Qin is busy fighting in Shandong. Can you ask for reinforcements?" Some general hesitated for a long time before saying it.

This was so shocking that Li Mu opened his mouth so hard that he couldn't speak for a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh: "Oh!"

After the Battle of Zhongmu, the opportunity for Qin to unify the country appeared, which was the opportunity for Qin to advance eastward. If Qin was not busy conquering Shandong, it would not be called Qin.

Qin was determined to wipe out all countries. This was the first opportunity that encountered in the Warring States Period in a century. Will Qin let it go? Will Qin send troops to reinforce?

No one has any idea about this, so who can not worry?

"I hope the King of Qin knows the general idea!" Li Mu thought about it and was very helpless. (To be continued.)
