The city guard mansion is not big, Li Mu was worried that Di said the wrong thing in front of General Lian Po, so he asked him to wait behind the door, and went to meet him, so that Li Mu rushed to the strange thing, the door of the city guard mansion, there were no soldiers to guard, after entering the city guard mansion, in front of him was an empty courtyard, and there were houses around the three courtyards, which was the only difference between it and ordinary houses. There was a samurai with a sword standing in the courtyard, who was a guest of General Lian Po, and when he learned of Li Mu's intention, he took Li Mu into a room on the left.

When I entered the house, I saw Lian Po standing in front of the wall, staring at the map on the wall. Li Mu probably hadn't seen General Lian Po for four or five years, he had grown up now, but General Lian Po didn't feel the slightest bit old, even if he was older than Lin Xiangru and not much different from Le Yi, but he looked energetic, covered in heavy armor, as if he was going to fight in the next moment.

"General Lian Po, dare to ask if you are okay?" , Li Mu leaned over respectfully and bowed to Lian Po.

Lian Po turned his head, glanced at him, and motioned for him to come over, Li Mu hurriedly walked to his side, Lian Po grabbed his shoulder, pulled him in front of him, pointed to the map on the wall, and said, "Can you understand?" ”

Li Mu looked at the map seriously, this is the current terrain map around Changping and Guangwolf City, he nodded, and said: "I can see it, the general is personally sitting in Changping, the northeast near Danshui Zhiziling stores grain and grass, and the grain and grass transportation of Zhao State reaches here directly through the river, and then distributes it to many camps, Danzhuling in the north, and Tangwang Mountain in the southwest can prevent the Qin people from looting and burning the grain and grass on the rear line from both sides." ”

"And the Hanwang Mountain on the south side of Changping has a broad field of vision, and can retreat from the enemy, and the general will distribute your forces in Deyi, Changping, Hanwang Mountain, Danzhuling, Tangwang Mountain... This is all about the terrain, the mountains and cities are connected into a line of defense, if the Qin people want to attack, the Zhao people can be condescending and hit the enemy, not to mention the general's deployment, directly the grain and grass supply road is included in the interior, the Qin people can not attack the logistics, nor can they break through the Changping defense line! ”

The more Li Mu was, the more surprised he became, he found for the first time that he saw the war too simply, in the past, when he was fighting in the border county, both sides set up a camp, and then went out of the village to attack each other, and now when he saw that this included dozens of camps within a radius of hundreds of miles, Li Mu was a little panicked, hundreds of thousands of people were distributed on this long defensive line, and on the opposite side of them, the Qin people were also deployed, but the terrain in the map was very clear, but the deployment of the Qin people was a little blurred.

Lian Po was also very surprised, he didn't expect that the little guy brought by Lin Xiangru back then, now he has such a level, and it is definitely not a simple thing to accurately understand such a defense map, Lian Po laughed, his voice was very loud, the laughter was very hearty, he happily patted Li Mu's shoulder, Li Mu was beaten by him and staggered, Lian Po said happily: "I didn't expect that you will grow up so soon, I will have a good deputy general in the future." ”

Li Mu was a little ashamed of being praised, and said: "Li Mu deserves your praise, I originally thought about cutting off the grain route of the Qin people, but now it seems that the places where the Qin people deploy their troops are all hills and mountains, which are more complicated than the terrain east of Changping, and there are only three mountain roads that can enter the rear of the Qin people, and they can't touch the logistics of the Qin people at all." He looked at the map again, and then sighed: "I know why you set up a defense line in Changping." ”

"This place is backed by Danshui, surrounded by mountains in the north and south, and Hanwang Mountain can be used as a horn with Changping, which is really a good place."

Lian Po shook his head and said, "This is not the reason why I am guarding Changping. ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "The general is stationed here because he wants to protect logistics?" ”

"Not really."

"Why is that?"

"I didn't come here voluntarily, I was driven here by the Qin people, fighting all the way and retreating all the way, from Duanshi City to Light Wolf City, and then to Changping, as for why I am stationed here, it is because if I retreat further, it will be Danshui, and if I retreat, I will fall into the water." , Lian Po said seriously.

"This....", Li Mu was a little speechless, looked at Lian Po in front of him in surprise, Lian Po waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Defeat is defeat, you don't have to be so surprised, a few decades ago, I experienced a more painful defeat than now, not to mention that I am still young, I have suffered a defeat, that is, I have a memory, it is regarded as accumulating experience, sooner or later, I will grow up and defeat them again!" ”

Are you still growing up at this age??

Li Mu asked with some curiosity, "How did you fail?" ”

"At first, I was stationed in the area of Duanshi City, facing the Qin people across the water, this is the best place, I speculated that the Qin people did not dare to cross the river, and also thought that they might make a detour, but I didn't expect that the Qin general was really bold, he left a partial army to pretend to be the main force to confuse me, but the main force was to attack Yin is city, cross the river from the north and go straight down, to cut my back road, surround and annihilate me!!"

"I, hundreds of thousands of people, he actually wants to surround and annihilate? This frightened me, but fortunately, I also deployed troops in the area of Changzi City, relying on their resistance, I withdrew to Guang Wolf City and escaped from the encirclement of the Qin people, but the Changzi City was captured by them, and Guang Wolf City was surrounded by mountains, but it was an excellent place to resist, but because of the Qin people's previous onslaught, the logistics line could only be transported through Changping. ”

"The enemy took Changping directly from the eldest son city in the north, and wanted to encircle and annihilate, I sent reinforcements, but the Qin people's partial division attacked the fortress of my light wolf city at this moment, captured three fortresses, and captured four captains, I can only retreat to Changping, firmly protecting the logistics line, I am afraid that the other party wants to surround and cut off food, this Qin general Wang Yi is a powerful opponent." , Lian Po talked about the rout over the years, and sighed helplessly.

Lian Po did not say that he was short of food and grass, nor did he say that the soldiers did not have the fighting spirit, he generously admitted that he was defeated, he always felt that defeat was defeat, there was no need to find any reason, but he was not depressed, but very spirited, according to his words, such an enemy can sharpen him, so that he can grow stronger.

Li Mu then said the purpose of his coming, he said: "I came to meet the general this time because of Ma Fuzi's orders, Ma Fuzi got the information, and the Qin State is likely to use Bai Qi as the general...", before he finished speaking, Lian Po suddenly interrupted him, "Bai Qi? ”

"Yes."

"I'll just say why the Qin people are so persistent in wanting to surround me and destroy them all, it turns out to be in vain! It's not that Bai Qi may be the general, but that Bai Qi is hidden in the Qin army! Lian Po said angrily, Li Mu was shocked, Lian Po looked a little angry, he said: "You don't know, in the original battle of Que and He, Bai Qi took a detour to capture the rear of the Han and Wei coalition forces, cut off its grain and grass, surrounded and destroyed, and when attacking Chu State, he also bypassed the mountain road on the border of Chu State, directly took the Chu capital, and surrounded hundreds of thousands of people in Chu State in his own land!" ”

"No wonder..."

"I have been fighting with the Qin people for so long, but I haven't even figured out the other party's generals, how can there be a reason to be undefeated?" , Lian Po asked, "What did Zhao Kuo say again?" ”

"Ma Fuzi said, please rest assured to defend against the Qin people here, he will find a way to get food and grass supplies to support the general, and he also sent a person to publicize the Qin people's military merit, wanting to inspire the soldiers' military morale."

Hearing his words, Lian Po was a little disdainful, and he said: "Zhao Kuo, this kid, what are you talking about, if I don't defend against the Qin people here, can I still run away?" As for the grain and grass, his father did not leave him much, so how much could he get? As for motivating the morale of the army, there is no reward, just relying on words, how long can it be motivated? And only one person was sent, how much of a role can a mere one person play in these hundreds of thousands of people? ”

He shook his head, sighed, and said, "If his father were still alive..."

He looked up, and there was finally a hint of loneliness on his face.

"General!! The Qin people gathered a large number of people in Tangwang Mountain!! The doorman suddenly rushed in, and hurriedly said, Lian Po hurriedly looked at Yutu, the loneliness on his face disappeared without a trace, and he shouted: "Let Feng Ting get ready!" If the enemy attacks Tangwang Mountain, send troops from Hanwang Mountain and directly threaten Daliangshan, let him be careful and don't rush in! ”

"Let Zhiziling send two thousand cavalry to Deyi!"

"Inform the camp of Danzhuling to send people to reconnoitre, so that the other side can take the opportunity to attack Zhiziling with cavalry!"

"Let the soldiers of Tangwang Mountain divide three thousand people and station them on the plain from Tangwang Mountain to Zhiziling!"

"Let the soldiers get ready, and follow me out to the West King Valley Road!"

The old general shouted, his whole body burning with fighting spirit.
