Chapter 172 The Tiger Ben Army Heads North

The army captain who personally gave the sword to King Zhao left. At the same time, the latest order from Chu Jiangmian to Li Mu was taken away. In a sense, the first large-scale war, which was later called "Northern Anti-Hu Cavalry" in history books, began to kick off from now on.

When Zhong Polu, who had grown into a powerful general in the army, cut off the head of the Hu Ren Zuoting King with this generous sword in his hand, looked at the Hu Qi who fled north in a hurry like a wind and clouds, he suddenly understood the meaning of the name that King Zhao Chu Jiangmian gave him.

At that time, from Zhao to the north, including the entire territory of Yan and the five or six small princely countries around, to the southern half of the grassland, they were already under the deterrence of the Zhao army.

With the majestic King Zhao, he occupies the power of dragons and tigers in the north, connects Qi and Lu in the east, and looks south and west, officially starting his glorious journey of pacifying the world.

However, now it is just a general prototype of the world strategy and is not known to outsiders. Therefore, after hearing the news that he decided to fight the Hu people head-on, many people were inevitably worried.

"King! The situation in Zhao State has just stabilized. It is best to take advantage of this period to take a break and recuperate quickly and quickly improve the national strength level! At this time, a large-scale war with the Hu people in the north was not a wise move."

After hearing the news, the first person who rushed over was Shangdao Zizhong. He and several other ministers of the State of Political Consultative Affairs have been very busy these days. Chu Jiangmian handed over all the matters of cooperation with Qi to them. This made them feel both excited and dared not slacken at all times. If they still don’t understand that this is not only an opportunity Chu Jiangmian gave them, but also a test, then they would be really a fool!

Zi Zhong, who witnessed this young man quelling all internal and external troubles in a short period of time, knew more than anyone else about his terrible terror. Not to mention the miserable defeat suffered by the princes in his hands, the final outcome of the royal nobles led by the act of Wang Shuchu was enough to make people frightened. Even if everyone believed that they deserved their sins and died, and that King Zhao Chu Jiangmian had done his best to be kind and righteous, it had nothing to do with him. But Zi Zhong absolutely did not believe that the calm King Zhao would really not know the inside story? It would be absolutely impossible without his intentional indulgence and promotion behind this.

However, no one dares to talk about this matter casually anymore. The dead rebels have long disappeared, and all the truth has turned into ashes. All the people of Zhao are grateful to the new king and praised it, which is enough.

It is precisely because of this fact that Zi Zhong often woke up from nightmare at the beginning. He was afraid that Chu Jiangmian would settle the score later. It is no exaggeration to say that now, with his prestige, he would find an excuse to kill them, as easy as killing a few ants. However, later, after Chu Jiangmian handed over all the major cooperation with Qi State to them, Zi Zhong and others finally felt relieved.

Since this is the case, no matter from which aspect, they must do their best to do a good job in this matter that is related to the great interests of Zhao's development. If there are any related matters that cannot be decided by themselves, Zi Zhong will work hard to come to Jiuxing Mountain and report it to Chu Jiangmian in person. For him who knows the current situation in Zhao, he does not want a war to happen again at this time. His opinion also represents the attitude of most of the ministers of the royal court.

Chu Jiangmian looked at the mountains in the distance, and his eyes seemed to be able to see a long way from now on. Since the war smoke had risen, it would never be easily calmed down. Qin, Wei, Yan, Southern Han, Wu, Yue... and other great vassal states were already ambitious and eyeing them covetously, not a day. Although the military victory of Zhao defended the majesty of his own country, at the same time, it is likely to break the balance of the world. Those vassal states that suffered great losses would never give up. The war could break out again at any time. At this time, if Zhao launched a war against the Hu people in the north, it would not be a wise move. But he had no choice. This battle must be fought!

"Mr. Shangda Doctor, according to the information obtained by the spies from Qianji Pavilion, the general who led the Hu people and thousands of cavalry went south to invade and led them was Hu Yanbo. Do you know the origin of this person?"

When Zi Zhong heard Chu Jiangmian's words, he was secretly surprised. As a minister of Zhao State for many years, he certainly knew the power composition of the Northern Hu King's Court. The legendary four major tribes in the grassland, including the Huyan family. This family has produced many powerful generals, all occupying an important position in the cavalry team of the Northern Hu. It can be said that it is the most powerful tribe besides the Hu royal family.

"King, although the old minister doesn't understand the origin of Hu Yanbo, he knows that Hu Yan's family is not easy to mess with. Since it is their cavalry, it may be difficult to be good this time!"

"What the doctor Shangdao said is right, but the fact is that. The Huyan family, which occupied the southern part of the grassland, encountered a drought in the spring just past. Many of their tribes may face the threat of hunger in the next six months. In this case, they will not withdraw their troops without plundering enough materials and wealth needed for life... Therefore, a fierce battle is inevitable."

Zi Zhong listened silently. He suddenly remembered what he saw in recent days that the Prime Minister Fei Yi and several veterans were busy, and seemed to understand something.

"So that's it! Since the king has learned so much, he must have been preparing for the response measures long ago? I'm over-concerned...haha!"

"In the past few years, Zhao State and Hu Qi have fought dozens of battles, and have formed an unavoidable death enemy. Since wars cannot be avoided, they will fight sooner or later, how could I not prepare in advance?"

"The king needs the old minister to do something, just give me instructions!"

"This is not necessary. The doctor is only responsible for cooperation with Qi. The economic approach is experts and you ministers, and you have to rely more on it! Whether it is the future improvement of military strength or the overall strength of the country, it requires strong economic assistance. This time, in order to prepare for the war, others don't know, is it still unclear to the doctor? I'm almost spending half of my family's fortunes... Haha!"

When he heard this, Zi Zhong smiled reservedly. Since they had such a heavy weight in Chu Jiangmian's heart, he naturally felt very relieved. Chu Jiangmian was right, the existence of the Ku Mansion had been consumed in a large amount in this short period of time. Although he did not ask about what the money and materials had done casually, he knew it clearly in his heart.

"Don't worry, the old ministers and others will naturally do their best to get as much benefit from the people of Qi. However, why didn't the king use the gold sent by the people of Qin first to solve the urgent problem?"

"Gold is used for compensation. No matter what war occurs in the future, the burden on the people should not be increased, nor should they suffer unnecessary losses. Don't worry, this time, in order to build military equipment such as armor and crossbows, the Ku Mansion was used, but it will be replenished soon."

"Does the king have such confidence in victory?"

"Of course! If I can't win, I'll try hard to arrange someone to do these things myself, what's the point? Haha!"

Looking at the confident smile on his face, Zi Zhong was inexplicably infected by him: "The old minister wishes the king in advance to plan and win a thousand miles, defeat the Hu cavalry, kill the generals and seize the flag, and promote the power of our Zhao State!"

Zi Zhong bid farewell and returned to Longcheng with confidence. Just two days later, Chu Jiangmian personally bid farewell to the Hu Ben Army who was heading north at the foot of Jiuxing Mountain.

"Xiao Li, take them there! The grassland battlefield in the north, with the sky and the earth wide, is the place where you are truly tested!"

Chu Jiangmian patted Murong Licheng on the shoulder and was full of confidence in him. Although General Hu Ben, who was fully armed in armor, still looked like a young man, in the eyes of the five thousand cavalry under his command, he was already considered a real famous general.

"King! Apart from the head of General Hu, what else do I need to bring back to you?"

Murong Licheng looked at Chu Jiangmian who was about to send him to the battlefield with his own hands, and his heart was full of passion. He was finally going back to the north. The land that once belonged to Yan State would be his hero's home court.

"Oh, I hope you can cooperate well with General Li Mu and capture as many war horses as possible from the Hu people. In the near future, I want you to lead 100,000 cavalry to sweep the entire north!"

I believe that for the heroic boy, there is no more inspiring order than this. Murong Licheng nodded heavily, flew on his horse, and led the five thousand flying cavalry away. He didn't need to make any guarantee to King Zhao behind him, because as long as it was Mian Ge'er, he would complete it ten times more!

Watching the smoke and dust that was pedaling from the horse's hooves, Chu Jiangmian said lightly to the person behind him with a worried look.

"Don't worry. He will definitely succeed in his battle and will be awesome in the world! If possible, I believe that in the near future, you can go to Yan State to avenge the blood sea of ​​blood in person!"

The woman behind her lowered her head and said "um" softly. In fact, compared to revenge, the most important thing in her heart is Xiao Li and the health and safety of the back in front of her!
