Ten days later.

Qu Wo, Wang Jian and Wang Ben heard that Marquis Wu was personally conscripted, and they couldn't wait to lead thousands of men and horses and quickly rushed to the city.

After the father and son rushed to Quwo, they thought that Wuhou would ask for the battle on the front line, and liquidate the struggle, thinking that this time, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground.

At this time, what they saw along the way was much beyond the expectations of the two, and what they saw in the city was that Wuhou did not kill people, but cattle, pigs and sheep, and although he was defeated, he was still rewarded for his merits.

On the faces of the soldiers, there was no haze at all, but the rich fighting spirit slowly erupted, intending to be ashamed!

In the big tent.

Su Zheng and the generals were all deliberating.

Su Zai and Wang Jian father and son are also reunited after a long absence, and they are naturally full of joy, and after some reminiscence, the two fell on Su Zai's side.

Su Zheng looked at Wang Jian and said: "Zhao State has won successive battles, although our army's morale has been revitalized due to the military system, but it is not a long-term strategy, once the time goes by, the morale of the army will change again, we will have to retreat, and Zhao will also unite all countries to come together, what advice does General Wang have for this?" ”

Su Zheng said in a word, the key point.

Now the Qin State, what it needs most is a victory that will break the morale of the Zhao army.

Wang Jian pondered for a while, and then responded: "Back to the general, the last general thinks that the current dilemma lies in the cities captured by Li Mu, all of which are important cities, not only that, but the cities can also form horns to meet each other, if you attack Pingyang, then Yi'an rescues, if you attack Yi'an, then Chili, Feicheng, Pingyang rescue, and, now the season is late autumn, I am afraid that in a month or two, there will be heavy snowfall, if so, it is even more unfavorable for our army to attack, to the end of the general, Li Mu will inevitably defend as an attack, to wait for work, tired of our army's morale, for the sake of today's plan, there is only one way, that is, to storm the two fortresses of Pingyang and Yi'an at the same time, and take them down in one go, in order to reverse the situation. ”

After hearing this, Huan Qi and the others also had heavy faces.

Huan Qi said: "General, Pingyang and Yi'an are not down, once the days are long, our army still has two dangers, one is the Jinyang Basin occupied by Li Mu, isolating the connection between our army and Handan, and he is stationed in Que with heavy troops, backed by Taihang Mountain, if Handan comes to the rescue, Li Mu must have taken strict precautions, just ambush Handan reinforcements in the mountains, Handan must have nothing to do, if Handan does not care about the cost, pour troops to come, then Handan must be empty, if Yan suddenly unites with Zhao, Handan can be easily recaptured. ”

"Second, if our army storms the two cities, not to mention, the number of troops, the amount of morale, that is, South Korea in the south, will inevitably suddenly kill and attack our army with the Zhao army, but if we must storm the two cities, then the general will think that we must take it by surprise and take it in one fell swoop, otherwise, the situation will be even more chaotic."

Actually.

Everyone's statement just hit Li Mu's strategy.

This is also a conspiracy, and it is not difficult to guess.

After all, Zhao now has a huge advantage in terms of strength, allies, and morale.

Overall, the Qin State really didn't occupy anything.

Even the country's 600,000 soldiers and horses are now 200,000 dead.

For the Qin State, Wuhou went out to conquer the city in one fell swoop, otherwise, the morale could not be restored at all, Li Mu also took a fancy to this, and the deep winter was coming, which made it even worse for the Qin State.

Su Zai said: "In other words, you all think that the only chance for our country to win is to take Yi'an and Pingyang by surprise. ”

Everyone nodded.

But it's a bit unconfident.

Su Zheng looked around, looked at the expressions of the generals, and knew that they really had nothing to do with Li Mu.

If it were a different person, there would be no way.

Historically, Li Mu made Wang Jian have nothing to do, how can the name of the turtle general be wasted, if it does not coincide with the great earthquake of Zhao State, it is probably not so easy to capture Zhao State.

Su Zai smiled, and then asked: "You said that you want to attack Yi'an and Pingyang, then there is a way to lure the enemy!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

If it were them, it would be impossible to go out of the city to face the battle.

Meng Tian suddenly said: "General, there is a way for the last general, maybe you can lure the enemy!" ”

The generals all looked towards Meng Tian beside Su Zheng.

Now Meng Tian is only seventeen years old.

But it looks quite heroic, which makes people dare not underestimate it, and it is naturally extraordinary to be able to stand by Wuhou's side!

Su Zai smiled slightly: "It's a matter in the army, but it's okay!" ”

Meng Tian said: "General, as well as the generals, the young general thinks that now, the general personally led the troops and horses to the front line, and the Zhao army must have already known that the prestige of the above generals, and Li Mu's caution, it must be thought that it is impossible for the Zhao army to send troops to our army to fight at this time, regardless of victory or defeat, Li Mu will definitely consider casualties." ”

Everyone nodded.

Meng Tian continued: "Meng Tian heard that more than 20 years ago, when Li Mu was still a lowly general, he was guarding Yanmen Pass, and now he is outside the Megatron Fortress, and the young general happens to be in the northern Xinjiang with his grandfather and father, and the northern Xinjiang is different from the Central Plains, that is, every time he conquers a place, he will definitely set up a checkpoint to rent it, so that the merchants and the people can go with him and pay taxes, which are not paid to the national treasury, but used for war baggage. ”

Everyone's faces lit up.

Meng Tian continued: "When Meng Tian was in Xianyang, he was fortunate to listen to the teachings under the command of Wu Hou, Wu Hou once told the young general, a person uses soldiers like the five elements of the truth, everyone has their own habits, the young general suddenly thought at this time, Li Mu has been outside the Saiwai since the war, almost never came to the Central Plains, his battle habits, that will inevitably bring this set of city rent style in the north into the Central Plains, after all, this time the soldiers and horses in the East County are at least sixty percent of the following Li Mu for more than ten years, and they will definitely not say that Li Mu will not set a city rent, This is related to the morale of the military, but once Li Mu sets up the city rent, we will have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Huan Qi arched his hand and said: "Please also ask Captain Meng for advice, why is this city rent related to the strategy of luring the enemy?" ”

Meng Tian explained: "The generals have not been to the northern frontier, do not know the habits of the frontier, although the territory is vast, but the property is poor, to say something that should not be said, ordinary money, is not enough at all, that is, the Qin State, after the soldiers in the war, grandfather and father will also set up a city rent, the money and taxes collected in it, not into the treasury, but to reward the soldiers, into the pockets of the soldiers, or as military supplies." ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

In the Central Plains, you can't do this, and all strategies have to go into the treasury.

But outside the plug it's different.

For hundreds of years, this has been an unspoken rule, if it weren't for what Meng Tian said, everyone really didn't know that there was such a thing.

Meng Tian continued: "Therefore, the last general thinks that Li Mu has now come to the Central Plains, although he has won successive battles, but the spoils of war in the Central Plains must be handed over to the national treasury, and the soldiers will not get direct benefits because of the war. ”

"Since we have determined that Li Muhui will set up a city rent, and the city rent will only flourish with the support of merchants from all over the country and the support of the local people, it will inevitably be set up outside the city, although there are heavy troops guarding it, but it is indeed outside the city."
