The sun shines from the sky and shines on Zhao Kuo's face.

There was no breeze on the prairie in summer, which made Zhao Kuo feel urge to take off all the armor on his body and then jump into the small river in front of him to take a shower happily.

But Zhao Kuo did not do this. He just walked by the river with a serious face, and while walking, he was still giving orders: "Er Sanzi drinks water quickly and sets off in two quarters of an hour!"

Right in front of Zhao Kuo, a thousand armored cavalry, a thousand light armored cavalry and their war horses were crowding by the river, and the scene was very lively.

Smoke suddenly appeared in the distance, Zhao Kuo's eyes narrowed slightly, but soon he returned to his innocent expression. He even had the mood to kick a few guys who sat upstream but unconsciously put their stinky feet into the river.

The smoke and dust gradually approached. Judging from the armor style of the horse knight, this was obviously a scout of Zhao army.

"General Zhao Kuo!" The scout jumped off his horse panting and came to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded, patted the scout in front of him on the shoulder, and said, "What's the situation with the enemy?"

The scout replied, "The Aries King is about thirty miles away and has already headed west."

"West?" Zhao Kuo frowned and after a while, he said, "Isn't Dingxi City in the south? Isn't he going to attack Dingxi City?"

The scout said, "I don't know, but what I can guarantee is that he will definitely go to the west."

"This damn thief!" Zhao Kuo spat hard and asked again: "How many people are following the Aries King now?"

The scout thought for a while and said, "About five thousand to six thousand."

Zhao Kuo snorted softly and said, "There are so many thieves? It's really hateful. It seems that General Li Mu is right at all. These thieves are wild and hard to tame. They should be killed all of them to eliminate future troubles!"

Zhao Kuo is very angry now.

Since Li Mu, the original highest commander of the Border Cavalry, had led 30,000 cavalry to join forces with Pang Qian to attack Yan State, the northern counties of Zhao State are currently temporarily under the command of several Li Mu's deputy, among which Zhao Kuo was responsible for the security of the Hetao and Shuofang counties.

As a result, less than a month after Li Mu left, the defense area where Zhao Kuo was responsible for the big trouble of the Aries Tribe rebellion, which made Zhao Kuo very angry.

Although Zhao Kuo sent people back to Handan for help as soon as possible, according to the normal speed, it would take at least half a month before Handan's transfer order could be sent to the northern counties, and a large-scale reinforcements could enter the two counties in Henan after one month.

In other words, within this month, Zhao Kuo should be able to rely on only the 4,000 troops under his command.

If it was just the rebellion of King Aries, then Zhao Kuo felt that it would be more than enough to suppress the rebellion with four thousand cavalry. However, after learning that the Huns had gathered on the north side of Helan Mountain to prepare for the eastward transition, Zhao Kuo knew that he was in trouble this time.

In order to reverse the passive situation, Zhao Kuo led two thousand elite cavalry out of the city, intending to annihilate the Aries King in one fell swoop in the wild, and then find a way to deal with the Hun army that had already begun to cross the river.

However, he did not expect that the Aries King was very erratic, just like a slippery loach that was wandering around the huge Shuofang County, which made Zhao Kuo unable to touch the Aries King at all.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, then spoke, "How far is the nearest settlement from here?"

The scout replied, "About fifty miles northwest."

Zhao Kuo snorted and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to that settlement later! If there were no traces of Aries King found in that settlement..."

Zhao Kuo waved his hand very unhappily: "Then go back to Dingxi City to wait for the rabbit. I don't believe that King Aries will not come!"

After two quarters of an hour, Zhao Kuo saw that his subordinates had almost rested, so he waved his hand decisively and issued an order: "The whole army is on the horse and prepare to advance westward!"

Just as many Zhao cavalrymen were getting on their horses, a faint tremor suddenly came from afar.

Zhao Kuo subconsciously looked at the south where the sound came, and found that smoke and dust were rising on the south land. Obviously, a large cavalry was approaching quickly.

Zhao Kuo was excited and surprised and happy: "Is it the Aries King here?"

When Zhao Kuo thought of this, he was no longer upset, his body was no longer hot, his waist stopped, and he felt like he was thundering when he roared.

"Everyone has it, get on the horse, ready to fight!"

As the saying goes, the horses are dead when they are running to the mountain. If the cavalry coming from the south wants to approach the combat range, it will take at least two quarters of an hour. These two quarters of a month are enough for Zhao Kuo and the thousand armored cavalry under his command to be fully prepared for combat.

The smoke and dust gradually approached, and Zhao Kuo could even see countless Hu cavalry appearing and looming in the smoke and dust.

A big banner was revealed in the smoke and dust, and Zhao Kuo's eyes set on it, seeing the two seal characters on the big banner clearly.

"Yiqiu?" Zhao Kuo opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but mutter: "What are the people of Yiqiu here doing at this time? Did they take advantage of the situation to rob them? Forget it, whether it is Yiqiu or Aries, in short, just kill one person!"

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and a thousand armored cavalry had made all preparations and could attack at any time.

Just as Zhao Kuo was about to order an attack, the speed of the Yiqu people's cavalry suddenly slowed down until they completely stopped about three miles away from the Zhao cavalry.

A tall general Yiqu rode out from the escort of dozens of Yiqu cavalrymen, came to the formation of the two armies, shouted loudly in the direction where Zhao Kuo was: "I am the king Yiqu win, is Li Mu on the opposite side?"

"Yiqu win?" Zhao Kuo was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't that the king of Yiqu Kingdom? Why did you come to this place?"

Even though he muttered in his heart, Zhao Kuo, who had strong confidence in his heart, naturally could not lose at this time, so he led thirty Zhao cavalry to meet him.

"King Yiqiu, General Li Mu has gone east to attack Yan State. I am Zhao Kuo, the deputy general of Zhao State!"

"Is Li Mu here?" Yi Qusheng glanced at Zhao Kuo, and showed a disappointed expression on his face: "That's right, if Li Mu was there, he wouldn't have made the Aries so arrogant."

Zhao Kuo was very angry by Yi Qusheng's words, but now Zhao Kuo is no longer the young boy who always wanted to confront the sky and the earth during the Battle of Changping. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice to Yi Qusheng in front of him: "I don't know what kind of things are there to do when the King of Yi Qu suddenly led his army into the territory of my Zhao Kingdom?"

Yiqusheng waved his hand very heroically and said with a smile: "Are our Yiqu Kingdom and your Zhao Kingdom allies? I heard that you Zhao people are in trouble, so I brought my five thousand army to help!"

Yiqiu Sheng has a very serious expression of the word "Da Army".

Zhao Kuo frowned and looked at Yi Qusheng with some suspicion.

Although Zhao Kuo did not have much contact with Yi Qusheng in the last battle, according to Li Mu, Yi Qusheng seems stupid but has a lot of ghost thoughts in his heart, and he is the kind of person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

Such a guy is so straightforward that he heard that his allies are in trouble and then lead his troops to help?

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and shook his head slowly: "King Yiqiu, if you can't find a reason to convince me, then let's do it here first."

Yiqiusheng was angry when he heard this and said, "You guy is unreasonable. I am very kind of brave enough to lead the army to rescue. You are just treating me like this? Hello, don't leave, don't leave! Okay, I will tell you that. I think it's better for you Zhao people than the Huns and the Aries."

Zhao Kuo, who had already walked back, stopped his mount and turned around: "This is the reason?"

"That's why!" Yiqiusheng nodded with certainty and said, "The Huns Dulongqi Shanyu also sent someone to contact me, hoping that I can attack you, Zhao State with them from north to south! But I am not stupid. If Shuofang and Hetao County fall into their hands, then the next step they do is probably to divide up the king's Yiqiu State with the people of Qin!"

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "King Yiqiu, do you know how many soldiers and horses the Huns had this time?"

"How many soldiers?" Yiqiusheng smiled and said, "This time your Zhao State is in trouble. The envoy of the King of Huns told me that the Huns had just defeated the Yuezhi people, and now the Huns have a total of 100,000 troops!"

"A hundred thousand army?" Zhao Kuo widened his eyes in surprise and subconsciously rushed out: "This is impossible!"

Yi Qusheng shrugged and said, "Who knows, but I have said this to this point. You should believe me, right?"

The expression on Zhao Kuo's face was obviously still a little suspicious, and he said, "For the last question, why do you believe in Zhao more than you, rather than the Huns who were the same people who led the bow with you?"

"The people who lead the bow?" Yi Qusheng laughed and said, "I grew up on the horse's back. Of course I know what the principles of the prairie are. The covenant here is as unreliable as the promises of women, and only purely the survival of the jungle! Instead of believing in the Huns, I would rather believe in your Zhao State. After all, your Zhao State did fulfill its promise last time and helped me establish the Yiqu State!"

Speaking of this, Yi Qusheng couldn't help but feel frowning: "You don't know. The Qin people are now starting to move again. I am really worried that when the Qin people will go north to attack me again. At that time, I will rely on you Zhao people to help me resist the Qin people's attack!"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while and nodded slowly: "King Yiqiu, I can let you fight side by side with me, but one thing is that I want to obtain command of all your troops."

Zhao Kuo originally thought that this request would make Yiqusheng angry, but he didn't expect that Yiqusheng waved his hand and said carelessly: "Even if you don't say it, I will make it. Your General Zhao State's command level is indeed higher than ours. I will give you these 6,000 cavalrymen. But I also have one requirement, that is, you cannot send my troops out to die at will!"

Zhao Kuo's brows spread a little, and he said very seriously: "No problem!"

The arrival of Yiqiusheng gave Zhao Kuo some comfort.

After gathering the 6,000 cavalrymen from Yiqu people, Zhao Kuo's available troops reached 10,000 now.

Although these 10,000 people are still somewhat deficient than the Hun army, it still effectively enhances Zhao Kuo's determination to continue to persevere.

To be honest, although I admire Li Mu very much, Zhao Kuo was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Mu. He felt that if he could get the opportunity like Li Mu, his achievements might not be worse than Li Mu.

Now, such an opportunity is in front of Zhao Kuo.

If we could defeat the more with less and drive all the damn Huns back north of the Yellow River, I, Zhao Kuo, would have been able to become a general who could stand alone like Li Mu in the heart of the king?
