"Father Zhong...when will we launch an attack?"

"Why are you so anxious?"

"My child was born, and I couldn't see him. Of course I was anxious... I could show my father a little bit earlier. My father always felt that I was not suitable to be a general, saying that I was arrogant. This time, I want him to see if I am suitable to be a general!" Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes and his face was full of pride. He was anxious to prove his strength to his father. Li Mu, who was standing beside him, just looked at the grassland in the distance calmly.

"I gave Touman so long, he should go back... It's time for us to send troops."

"What should we do about these places we have captured? Should we keep Sima Shang behind to guard?" Zhao Kang asked curiously, but Sima Shang was so anxious that he almost jumped up. Why is this person so bad? Why are you all going out to get military achievements? I will stay in this place where birds do not shit? Li Mu frowned. He pondered for a moment and continued: "This expedition is quite long, and the most important thing is the supply and road finding problem."

"There are no identification objects on the grassland, and we don't have maps, so we are afraid we will get lost... Therefore, we need excellent guides... Let's find a few familiar guides from the Huns who were captured before. After leaving here, we are our own herdsmen and we don't know the road..." Li Mu said, paused, and continued: "The other problem is the logistics issue. We have obtained so many livestock, so we don't have to worry about food..."

Li Mu looked at Sima Shang and asked, "Are there any generals in the army who performed well?"

"There is a young general called Meng Tian..."

"Ha..." Zhao Kang snorted coldly in displeasure. Li Mu looked at him and asked again: "Do you know this general?"

"Of course I know my family is very close to his family. He is a man who relies on his father's reputation and acts recklessly, arrogant and rude, always bullies the children nearby... but he avoids punishment because of his father's relationship..." Zhao Kang said indignantly as he was dissatisfied with the second generation ancestor, oh, the third generation ancestor.

Li Mu and Sima Shang both looked at Zhao Kang with some weirdness. Why do you think it’s nonsense when you say this from him? Are you talking about Meng Tian or yourself? How come you think that relying on your father Hu Zaofei! Li Mu didn’t want to listen to his nonsense anymore. He looked at Sima Shang. Sima Shang’s evaluation was much more fair. Sima Shang said: “He is in charge of commanding the crossbowman under my command. In the previous few wars, he was the first to complete the deployment. At the same time, when he allowed to attack at will, he won the biggest gains…”

"I think this young man is brave and fearless, able to care for his soldiers, know how to seize the opportunity, and adapt to changes. He lacks some experience. With time, he will definitely be a good general..."

Li Mu asked Sima Shang to call the general. The young general looked about the same age as Zhao Kang, but his face was solemn, completely different from Zhao Kang, who was always smiling. He paid homage to Sima Shang, Li Mu, and even Zhao Kang. He was tall and straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and was a real soldier... Li Mu looked at him and couldn't help but nodded. This is Qin State, and there is never a shortage of generals.

If it were other countries, after a general died suddenly, there might be a shortage of generals, but Qin would not seem to be... There were more generals than one. Every time they attacked other countries, the generals in command would come in exchange... Li Mu looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I learned from General Sima Shang that you are a talented person. This time we went to the Huns, we need one to stay behind to ensure the transportation of materials... Beware of other Hu people taking a detour to attack the empty northern counties and counties."

"I wish to listen to the general's order!" Meng Tian leaned over and bowed.

"You have to figure it out that if you stay, you may not be able to get any military merits..." The general of Qin is very concerned about military merits, because this is the foundation of Qin, and staying behind obviously means that you should not get too much credit in this battle. When you defeat the enemy, you will be given a little at most... Meng Tian smiled and didn't care at all. He said: "General, I will go to war with you to defeat the powerful enemy and defend the territory, not for yourself."

"I am not very similar to those who fight to show their courage." Meng Tian said seriously, Zhao Kang jumped up and pointed at Meng Tian, ​​"Who are you talking about?"

Li Mu laughed, patted Meng Tian on the shoulder, then looked at Sima Shang and said, "Then send troops... to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop, and don't give Touman any chance."

At the same time, Touman encountered the biggest crisis. The Huns were unwilling to join forces to fight again. The irritable Zuo Xianwang was his younger brother, and the kind-looking You Xianwang was his father... Touman's father spent his whole life integrating the Huns, arranged his family to various tribes of the Huns, and successfully controlled the tribal alliance of the Huns. This also led to the "Lian clan" having too strong power. If the Shanyu's own power was strong, it would be fine, but if the Shanyu was weak, the ambitions of the royal clan could not be curbed.

After Touman returned, a major crisis broke out when drinking with the left and right Kings for the first time. Touman did not take Zuo Xianwang seriously at all. His younger brother was just a fool, straightforward, without much scheming, and easily led by others. Compared to him, the scheming Youxian King was actually Touman's confidant. When the three of them first discussed the next strategy against the enemy, Zuo Xianwang shouted that it should be let Youxian King come to command the army.

His reason was that the Right Xian King had rich combat experience. When he fought with Zhao many times, his command was stronger than that of the Shanyu. He should have commanded the army and returned the army to the Shanyu after repelling the enemy. To this end, Touman just smiled. If the military power was handed over to his beloved Zhongfu, it would never be possible to come back. He might have become ill due to overwork and suddenly died of illness the next day.

Zuo Xianwang proposed to let You Xianwang command the army, otherwise he would never follow Touman to die. If Touman continues to lead the troops, he will take his troops to escape from here and find a place to graz. Anyway, the grassland is very big... When the You Xianwang faces these, he just smiles, and does not ask for it or dissuade him. He has this idea, and Touman understands this in his heart.

"You are right. If you want to deal with people like Li Mu, you still need a general like Youxian King..." Touman said, and he looked at Youxian King. Sure enough, he saw some surprise and shock from Youxian King's face. Touman looked at him and said excitedly: "Please ask you to be responsible for this war. After I was defeated, Li Mu has been following me and is unwilling to let me go. Now he should not be far from here."

"I am willing to take the army to obey your instructions. Please tell me, how should we deal with Li Mu?"

The Youxian King was stunned. He had a lot of plans in his mind, which were all used to force Touman to hand over the power of the military power to him. But Touman agreed directly, but all his preparations were in vain. He looked at Touman in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "As a Shanyu, how can I let you obey my orders? Why don't you stay in the tent and I lead the soldiers to defeat the powerful enemy..."

"You don't have to be polite. You are my elder. I am willing to obey your instructions. Now that the foreign enemy is in front of you, don't say this anymore. Let's talk about how to deal with our enemies." Touman said, and looked at his younger brother again. He said seriously: "It was indeed my fault before the defeat in the war. Don't blame me. This time, the three of us work together to defeat the enemy!"

When Zuo Xianwang heard this, his eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Okay, if you say that, I won't be angry. Let's unite to deal with our enemies!"

Seeing the two brothers who quickly reconciled, the Youxian King felt a little sore, but before he could say anything, Touman began to seriously talk about the enemy's situation. Now, after suffering a crushing defeat, the Huns had no way to fight head-on with Li Mu and others. However, Li Mu had more infantry and few cavalry, and the harassment tactics could still continue. To make their army tired, they had to transfer their tribesmen and keep them away from the war...

And the problem they are facing now is that if it is a small-scale harassment, the enemy can repel them through free counterattacks. If it is a large-scale harassment, it is hard to say that they will not be hit head-on like last time. The Right Xianwang is not a veteran of the Huns. He quickly made a decision. He frowned and said seriously: "If you want to defeat the enemy, you can only rely on the enemy's ignorance of the terrain and climate."

"Use the terrain to hide yourself, carry out a surprise attack, and retreat quickly... drag the enemy to winter, let them eat the cold wind and heavy snow on the grassland... cut off their supplies..." The Youxian King really came up with a set of battle strategies. Touman was silent, just nodded, expressing his agreement. In this way, the three families united, led by the Youxian King, and began to find a way to deal with Li Mu.

During these days, Touman stayed by his subordinates and did not dare to go out. He was particularly respectful to the Youxian King and served him with the attitude of serving his father. The Youxian King was very satisfied with the military power in Touman's hands. As long as he defeated the enemy, with his fame at that time, the position of Shanyu would be his. Sitting in the tent, Touman picked up the bamboo slips...

That's right, this Shanyu recognized his words. He knew Zhao's writings. His father once asked the captured Zhao people to teach him to read and recognize words. He also bought books from merchants, but they only bought some military tactics and the like. Once, he bought a broken horse uniform book, but all of these made Touman very happy. Touman was not a stupid and reckless robber leader, he was a robber leader with some culture.

Therefore, compared with other robbers, the Xiongnu Khan, who had barely read the Zhao version of the horse costume book, was much stronger in both planning and other aspects. The biggest dream of Touman Shanyu's life was to be able to grab a complete set of "Horse Costume Book" from Zhao State, the advanced systems in "Horse Costume Book", those surprising explanations, and interesting games sometimes made Touman unable to help but think deeply.

Can these systems be applied to the Huns?

While he was studying, his son, walked to him with his newly born son. The son was married in a marriage. Touman didn't like her very much, but the two lived in a harmonious relationship. Seeing the youngest son in her arms, Touman couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and pinched his son's face, and said disdainfully: "There were priests who had advised me to kill him, saying that they wanted to sacrifice to the gods!"

Maodun, who was just born, just squinted his eyes and yawned, not realizing that he had just escaped a great disaster.

And his mother was not so calm. Her face turned pale. She looked at Touman in front of her and hugged the child tightly with her hands... Touman shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid, Ma Fujun said that there are no gods in the world. Sacrifices are all lie. If you want to sacrifice, you can only worship your ancestors! Moreover, using living people to sacrifice will only cause household registration problems, you know..."

Mrs. Yan was relieved to hear that Touman would not kill her son, but she couldn't understand what he said next. She asked curiously: "Which god is this Ma Fujun?"

"Haha, he is not a god...but he is a very powerful person...you know, this world is big, and we just live in a small corner..." Touman said with a little excitement as he read the content. He was stunned for a moment and said helplessly:

"It's a pity that I don't have the strength to complete what he said... I don't have the strength to do it. It's so good, and there's the filial and honest system... the supervision system...", Touman couldn't help but sigh, with a confused look on her face. She couldn't understand at all. Touman shook her head and looked at her son again. He looked at her for a moment and said, "All this can only be entrusted to future generations."

"When he grows up, we will send him to Qin..."

"Ah??Why?!", Mrs. Yan widened her eyes and trembled all over.

"Let him learn, let him find Ma Fujun, learn under his disciples, and learn how to complete a king's world... How to reorganize an invincible army..."

"This...", Yan Shi looked at the Shanyu in front of her. Many times, she felt that the Shanyu was crazy. She couldn't understand what he was saying. When Shanyu looked at her appearance, he immediately stopped talking. He waved his hand in disappointment and asked her to take the children away and sent them away. Touman walked out of the tent. Under the night, he looked at the bright moon in the distance. There were so many people from the Huns who could understand me, alas.
