After several days of long journey, the main force of the Chiyou army led by Zhao Kuo finally caught up with the Li Mu Pioneer Army, who had slowed down due to multiple consecutive battles.

That night, in the tent, Zhao Kuo was listening to Li Mu's report.

"Master, these cavalrymen of the Crown clan are very cunning.

Except for the first raid from the minister, they did not confront the minister head-on.

Whenever the minister catches up with them, they will immediately gather all the cavalry to surround the minister.

When the minister wants to retreat and put on heavy armor to fight, they will immediately flee and even need plundered food resources."

Zhao Kuo listened and couldn't help but subconsciously touched his beard, thinking about something.

The Tuoshi family is indeed worthy of being the tribe that is about to unify the Huns. This cunning style that even Li Mu feels helpless is indeed an excellent secret to protecting his life.

Just as Zhao Kuo wanted to say something, the curtain of the big tent was lifted up, and Xu Li walked in with a serious look on his face and reported a message.

"Master, the news I just received was Leqi and Lian Jing led 20,000 side cavalry outside Pingyin City to start a rash battle with the Huns, and was defeated by the Huns.

Le Cheng died, Lian Jing disappeared, and 20,000 side cavalry casualties were at least half of them!"

The tent suddenly fell into silence.

Li Mu widened his eyes in disbelief and his face was shocked.

Leqi and Lian Jing were the county magistrates among Jiuyuan County and Wuyuan County, and Li Mu served in the border cavalry army of Jiuyuan County back then.

In other words, how many chariots should have died in this battle because of Leqi and Lian Jing's stupidity?

At some point, Li Mu clenched his fist tightly with his right hand, and his fingers were deeply trapped in his palm.

Zhao Kuo's performance was much calmer than Li Mu. He asked calmly: "Have the person sent to Leqi, is Lian Jing's order confirmed to return?"

Xu Li said: "I have indeed returned, and I have also brought back Leqi's reply."

Zhao Kuo immediately understood Leqi's intention and couldn't help but sigh: "This stupid act of robbing me..." With a loud bang, someone slapped the table, but it was not Zhao Kuo, but Li Mu.

Li Mu was almost roaring: "Leqi, how dare he let so many soldiers of the Great Zhao go to failure and death for personal political interests?"

Looking at Li Mu who was flushed and angry, Zhao Kuo silently for a moment and patted the subordinate on the shoulder: "Not everyone is like us, but they are wholeheartedly considering this country.

For many people, their political interests are far more important than national interests.

My husband can understand your anger, but I hope you can restrain such anger.

You have to come out of your anger because we still have to fix the mistakes of Leiqi, do you understand?

If you are completely dominated by anger, we will only make the same mistake as happy!"

Under Zhao Kuo's persuasion, Li Mu slowly became calmer.

After a while, Li Mu stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhao Kuo: "Thank you for your teaching, I understand."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Go back, have a good rest and prepare for our revenge journey."

After Li Mu left, Xu Li spoke worriedly: "Master, this time the failure of Leqi and others has seriously insufficient our troops."

Originally, after Leqi's troops met with Zhao Kuo, more than 30,000 cavalry could easily crush the Huns, but now due to Leqi's stupidity, Zhao Kuo only has 12,000 Chiyou's army in his hands.

Opposite Zhao Kuo, the combined forces of the four Xiongnu tribes exceeded 40,000 cavalry! Facing Xu Li's worries, Zhao Kuo's face was very calm.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Xu, please help me draft a memorial and return to Handan. Let's talk about Le Cheng. Lian Po and his two deliberately instigated him. Lian Jing violated the military order and asked the Empress Dowager to severely punish the two of them."

It is necessary to hold the responsibility accountable. Le Qi and Lian Jing let tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers die for their own selfishness. This is definitely impossible behind this. The intentions of these two people are just.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo must also express an attitude. If every time Zhao Kuo starts a war in the future, the generals under his command make their own decisions due to such factors, how can they fight this battle?

Zhao Kuo said coldly: "We must use the strictest words to let the people behind Leqi and Lian Jing know - they have crossed the line! Let the school and Nightingale Handan divisions provide some effect. This marquis wants everyone to know this in the shortest time!"

Zhao Kuo was really angry.

You have any objections to this marquis, no problem.

If you want to use military merit to decorate victory, although this marquis doesn't like it, he can barely understand you.

But, at least you have to win this battle! You can’t win a battle, you have so many ideas every day, it’s simply nothing.

A waste of high-mindedness and low-knowingness! Xu Li responded to Zhao Kuo's order and said, "Master, what about the problem with the troops?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "The troops in Jinyang and Dai County should be here too, right?"

Xu Li said: "It is true, but the total number of troops in these two counties is only about 5,000 cavalry."

Zhao Kuo smiled heartily: "Five thousand cavalry?

In addition, Chiyou's army had 17,000 people, which was enough.

I will be able to reach Pingyin tomorrow, right?

Don't worry, the Huns will repay their sins."

Outside Pingyin City, the Xiongnu camp.

With the arrival of more than 5,000 soldiers of the Qianghu clan, the four major clan leaders of the Huns arrived.

A banquet was underway in the camp.

Due to his achievements in defeating Zhao State, the leader of the Lan clan naturally sat on the top position, and his voice was also the loudest.

"Main position, this time we defeated the main force of the Zhao border cavalry. In the next few years, the northern border of Zhao will become a ranch for our Huns men to gallop! Come and have a drink with me!"

As he said that, the leader of the Lan clan laughed and raised the wine in his hand.

The tent was filled with an atmosphere of joy, and many Hun generals made a fuss and drank the wine in their hands.

The leader of the Lan clan drank a few cups, and his heart was very relaxed. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the leader of the Tuoshi clan not far away, and he smiled and said, "Captain of the Tuoshi, you seem to be in a bad mood today. Is it because of your Tuoshi's failure in Dai County?"

The voice of the leader of the Lan clan was extremely loud and spread throughout the entire tent, which immediately made everyone in the tent look at the leader of the Qiang clan.

As an old Hun tribe, the Lan family has never been very accustomed to the cramped family.

This time, the other three tribes were robbed in the Yunzhong county of Yanmen, but the Tuoshi went south to Dai County, which undoubtedly made the leader of the Lan clan even more dissatisfied.

Faced with the complaints from the Lan clan leader, the Cantonese clan leader was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and said, "To be honest, I am really thinking about the war with the troops of Wu Xinjun, Zhao State in the past few days.
