Li Mu, who severely inflicted heavy losses on the Xiongnu, did not give in too much, but he just had no chance to fight against the Qin army, which was known as the most powerful at that time. In addition, the "Qin Wuyang (or Qin Wuyang)" who Jing Ke assassinated in Qin was Qin Kai's grandson

.』

During this period, Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu, also deployed troops outside the country, eyeing Loufan to prevent Loufan from aiding Donghu.

In early June, Wei generals Shaohu, Sima An, Wei Ji, and Pang Huan launched attacks on Hetao. The main attack direction was "Heshang (Shangjun)". To the west of this place is "Yiqu", and to the northwest is where Linhu is.

The place is called "In the Forest" because of its dense forest.

This is also the origin of the name "Lin Hu": Lin Hu, that is, "Lin Hu", simply means the Hu people who live in and near the forest.

However, Lin Hu does not call himself that way. They only call themselves "Hu", just like the people of Wei state call themselves Wei people. Hu means "people" in the northern national culture. As for Dong Hu, Lin Hu and Qiang Hu

, Beihu, etc. These are just added by the Central Plains people themselves to distinguish these Hu ethnic groups. The Hu people have never admitted that they have their own tribal names for distinguishing, such as "Ding Ling", "Tie Le", "

"Chile" and so on. "Note: These are all transliterations."

In June, the Wei army moved very quickly, and within a few days, a steady stream of good news arrived in Daliang like snowflakes.

At this time, in the Daliang Palace, Prince Zhao Run came to Chui Gong Hall for a rare occasion.

In the main hall of Chui Gong Hall, he erected a wooden board half a foot wide and one foot long, and hung a "Map of the Kingdom of Wei" drawn by an official from the Ministry of Works on it.

And a group of young eunuchs on his side, headed by Gao Li and Gao He, marked the various Wei armies on the map according to the progress of the Wei army as mentioned in the victory report every day, and also marked the general location of the Hu tribe in Hetao Lin.

location.

Zhao Hongrun goes to Chui Gong Hall every day to follow this "real-time battle situation."

To be honest, Shao Hu, Sima An, Wei Ji, and Pang Huan are all famous generals in Wei State who are good at fighting. Zhao Hongrun does not need to worry too much. Of course, Zhao Hongrun is not worried, he just feels a little itchy and unbearable.

You must know that this battle was a grand event for the opening up of territory. If the Wei army defeated Lin Hu and captured the Hetao area, even if Zhao Hongrun was sitting in the Chui Gong Hall of the Daliang Palace, his indelible achievements would still be left in the history books.

, but the problem is, he is not someone who only cares about results.

Compared with the short-term pleasure after getting the result, the process will make people feel continuously happy...

Therefore, the process is very important!!

However, it is a pity that Zhao Hongrun, who is now the crown prince of the Kingdom of Wei, has no chance of leading thousands of troops to fight in the north and south like he did back then.

Depressedly, Zhao Hongrun moved a stool and sat in front of the "Live Strategy Map", silently.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: Anyway, there are many internal court ministers and six ministers who jointly manage the government. I, the prince, is just a clay sculpture, why not...

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin, feeling itchy, and waved to Lu Mu, the chief of the Zong's Guards beside him - ever since Wei Jiao, the original Zong's Guards Chief, became Li Zheng's deputy in preparation for taking over the Daliang Palace Guards in the future, Lü Mu had taken his place.

Wei Jiao became Zhao Hongrun's bodyguard.

"Your Highness?" Seeing His Highness calling, Lu Mu came over with some confusion. He lowered his head according to Zhao Hongrun's instructions and listened to the latter say a few words in his ear.

Just after hearing this sentence, Lu Mu's eyes widened with fright, and he shook his head repeatedly and said: "Your Highness, you must not..."

"Shh!" Zhao Hongrun glared at Lu Mu, and then glanced at several young eunuchs in the palace.

Lu Mu knew he had lost his composure, so he quickly lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, you are no longer what you used to be. How can you come to the front line in person with your body of wealth?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhao Hongrun interrupted Lu Mu's dissuasion, hooked his neck, and said in a low voice: "I'll give you two ways to go, or you can pretend you don't know anything, and I'll find someone else to think of something else.

There is a way; alternatively, you can help me honestly...what do you say?"

After hearing this, Lu Mu hesitated.

Oh my god, help the current prince in front of him to escape from Daliang privately and go to the front line of the battlefield. If the officials in the court find out about this, Lu Mu believes that those officials will definitely skin him.

"...Even to His Majesty and Concubine Shu, it's not easy to explain."

Lu Mu thought with twinkling eyes.

Not sure if he guessed what Lu Mu was thinking, Zhao Hongrun pulled Lu Mu to a corner and jokingly threatened: "If you dare to secretly tell the truth, I will put you in the inner chamber and cut off your vagina."

"Bye bye." Even though he knew that His Highness was mostly joking, Lu Mu still felt a slight chill between his legs, and he hurriedly whispered softly: "You have to carry on the ancestral lineage of my Lu family for my humble position..."

"Then what do you say?" Zhao Hongrun said coldly.

Lu Mu thought for a while and nodded.

After that, Zhao Hongrun called Zhou Pu, Mu Qing, and Chu Heng. The others, like Zhu Gui, He Miao, Zhongzhao, and others, had already accompanied the Shang Shui Army on the expedition to Hetao. After all, they were also the generals of the Shang Shui Army.

Not to mention that one day he would most likely be appointed as the commander-in-chief of an army, so Zhao Hongrun naturally sent these people to the front lines early to hone their skills and gain some merit along the way.

After Zhou Pu, Mu Qing, and Chu Heng arrived, Zhao Hongrun took them and Lu Mu to the side hall and whispered his thoughts to them.

Zhou Pu is a person who is very aware of current affairs, and of course he will not disobey Zhao Hongrun. As for Mu Qing, this guy is even more restless than Zhao Hongrun. He immediately supported his Highness’s proposal with both hands. The rest, Chu Heng, is stubborn.

The reckless man obeyed Zhao Hongrun's advice, so the matter was quickly decided.

Before setting off, Zhao Hongrun said hello to his Crown Princess Mi Jiang.

Mi Jiang seemed very calm about the matters raised by her husband. Perhaps she also felt that it was too unqualified for a commander as good at fighting as her husband to stay in the rear.

She just asked Zhao Hongrun to take Zhao Que with him. After all, Mi Jiang quite recognized Zhao Que's martial arts skills.

Zhao Hongrun had no objection to this, because he was going to take Zhao Que with him. After all, Zhao Que was obedient to him.

So that evening, Zhao Hongrun, accompanied by Zhao Que, Lu Mu, Zhou Pu, Mu Qing, and Chu Heng, picked up an inconspicuous carriage and quietly slipped out of the beam.

Regarding this matter, Ya Wu, the leader of the Daliang branch of the Qing Ya Zhong, felt very sad. After much deliberation, he finally did not dare to "report" the Crown Prince to the court, so he simply handed over the things in his hands to his subordinates and took his two children with him.

More than a dozen Green Crows followed Zhao Hongrun and his party and quietly followed them to Daliang.

When it came to the morning court the next day, all the officials in the court discovered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who usually came to preside over the morning court, was nowhere to be seen.

Therefore, Du You, the Minister of Rites, sent people to both the Prince's Mansion and the East Palace to urge him, but no trace of Prince Zhao Run could be found.

"What? His Royal Highness is missing?"
