After Lejian led his troops to Daijun, he did not immediately lead the army south to attack Langmeng and Jinyang, and one of the main reasons was that Li Mu's army in Yunzhong and Yanmen counties had begun to gather in the direction of Daijun.

In Daijo's own residence, Rakuma looked at the map hanging on the wall, wandering from time to time.

was able to occupy the entire Dai County at a small price, and the first battle of the Yan army against Zhao can be said to have made a good start.

But then, the main force of the Daijun Yan army also faced a north-south attack from the Lecheng Department and Li Mu's army.

For Zhao Jun's general Lecheng, Lejian is very familiar.

As for Li Mu, Lejian also has to attach great importance to it.

When his own king came to Shanggu to inspect last year, he talked about Li Mu many times.

Le Jian remembered very clearly that Ji Kang had a long talk with himself about Li Mu.

At that time, Ji Kang asked himself: "General Lejian, how much do you know about Li Mu?" ”

Lejian replied: "Your Majesty, the last general only knows that Li Mu defeated the Huns, which was included in the textbook by our Military Command Academy and discussed extensively, but he doesn't know much about this person. ”

Ji Kang said to Le Jian: "Chang Guojun, let me tell you the truth, the widow knows Li Mu very well. Among the famous generals of Zhao State, the veteran Lian Po, including your cousin Le Cheng, are all world-famous generals with outstanding command skills. ”

But in the eyes of the widows, Li Mu, who was stationed in Yunzhong and Yanmen counties, was most valued by the widows. Li Mu's current fame, although not as prominent as the two generals Lian Po and Le Cheng, his military command talent far surpasses that of Lian Po and Le Cheng. ”

"Li Mu used soldiers, seeing that it was defending, but it was actually attacking; Look at it as an offense, but in fact it is a defense. Wild and eclectic. In the eyes of the widows, his military command talent can be compared with Bai Qi, a famous general of the Qin State. ”

"What's more, the armies of Yunzhong and Yanmen counties led by Li Mu have now become the most powerful, the most combat-oriented, and the most offensive army in Zhao State, and their strength is superior to that of all armies in Zhao State."

"Li Muzhi's army, with a lot of cavalry and archers, is the largest mobile corps in Zhao at the moment. My Yan Kingdom wants to destroy the Zhao State, and Li Mu's army is the primary concern of our Yan Army. If we don't get rid of the army led by Li Mu, our army must not go south. ”

In the end, Ji Kang also told Lejian: "In the hands of the widowed uncle, the state of Zhao quickly declined from a powerful country that could be on a par with the Qin state. One of the biggest reasons is that they don't know how to use people. ”

"The Battle of Changping is a matter of life and death for Zhao State. Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Yu Xin and others repeatedly asked Zhao Wangdan to let Li Mu lead the army south, but because Zhao Wangdan and Pingyuan Jun and others were disgusted with Li Mu, they did not accept it. ”

"In the battle of Handan, the fall of Zhao is imminent. Li Mu repeatedly asked the army to go south and return to Handan, but he was also rejected by the suggestions of Pingyuan Jun and others. Not to mention Zhao Wangdan, take Pingyuan Jun as an example, his stupidity and incompetence, and his wisdom can be seen. ”

"The widow is telling you so much, just to tell you: If our army confronts Li Muzhi's army, we must be extra careful, don't think about fighting a clever battle, and don't think about winning as soon as possible."

"The best way is to fight the battle of "stay" and fight steadily. Relying on the superiority of our army's equipment and equipment, we should not advance rashly, let alone advance dryly, step by step, step by step. In this way, it is possible to defeat Li Mu's army. Remember, remember! ”

Rakuma had never seen a general from another country who had ever taken his own king so seriously.

During his stay in Shanggu, he also collected a lot of information about Li Mu, as well as many examples of battles commanded by Li Mu. After Lejian's analysis, his heart was also shocked.

Lejian also didn't understand why Zhao didn't use Li Mu's army during the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan?

However, at the moment, Li Muzhi's army gathered in Daijun, which was also in the planning of Yan State before the war.

Therefore, after occupying the entire Dai County, the Lejian army did not immediately go south to attack Wolf Meng and Jinyang. The more than 200,000 troops of the Yan army were stationed in Daijun, rested, and stayed for more than half a month.

Yan Jun was like this, Zhao Jun in the direction of Jinyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Li Mu was depressed.

On March 12, Pingcheng, Yanmen County, Zhao State (now 20 miles northwest of Datong City, Shanxi Province).

In previous years, this season was the busiest season for trade routes in the Central Plains and northern grasslands. But this year, because of the war, all the caravans did not dare to pass through Pingcheng again.

Merchants are the most sensitive to war at any time. What merchants fear most is that they will be involved in the war, and it will be difficult to save not only their goods and property, but also their own lives and fortunes.

Outside the city, there are military tents all over the city.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Mu was dressed in armor and stood next to the map inside the tent and pondered.

After a while, Li Mu turned to Sima Shang, the deputy general behind him, and asked:

"The main army of the Yan army, hasn't it gone south at this time?"

Sima Shang hugged his fists and reported: "General Qiyu, according to the Tanmalai report, the main force of the Yan army led by Le Cheng, after occupying the entire Dai County, did not show any signs of going south at all, but began to build a city in Dai County and organize the people to sow in spring. ”

"And at the junction of my Yanmen and Daijun, my scouts have encountered a small force of the Yan army, according to the report, the Yan army is well equipped, and several of our scout troops have suffered great losses."

Speaking of this, Sima Shang paused and said to Li Muyan:

"General, judging from the information summarized from all sides, the main force of the Yan army not only did not go south, but converged on the border of our two counties, Yanmen and Yunzhong. It seems that the current goal of the Yan army is not Jinyang, but our army. ”

After that, Sima Shang looked up at Li Mu's face and found that Li Mu's expression was very solemn.

Yan Jun is not coming according to common sense!

Not to mention the political status of Jinyang, the former capital of Zhao State, even the strategic position is also very important.

Especially from Daijun to Jinyang, a horse and a flat river, which is conducive to the Yan army's attack. The hundreds of thousands of troops of your Yan army, instead of attacking Jinyang, instead of attacking Jinyang, converge towards my Yanmen and clouds, this is simply unreasonable!

Ji Kang's judgment of Li Mu is not bad at all, Li Mu is very "ruthless"! It was to prepare to wait for Le Jian to lead the main army and go south to Wolf Meng and Jinyang, and give the Yan army a fierce blow from west to east.

According to this strategic concept, at the same time that the Yan army invaded Daijun on a large scale, Li Mu gathered 150,000 troops from Yunzhong and Yanmen, and secretly arrived at Pingcheng, not far from Daijun, preparing to follow Daijun's Ban clan all the way to the east and attack Daicheng.

If this strategy can be realized, the Zhao army will completely cut off the back road of the main force of the Yan army. No matter how powerful the Yan army was in the early stage, even if the Yan army occupied Jinyang, in Li Mu's eyes, it was also facing annihilation.

But Li Mu never expected that Lejian would lead the main force of the Yan army and stay in Daijun and not leave. Moreover, many of Yan Jun's practices seem to be aimed at themselves at all.

No matter how smart Li Mu is, he would never think of how much the king of Yan Kingdom, or even the main general of the Yan army, Le Jian, attaches great importance to himself! He has long regarded himself as the most dangerous opponent, and his every move is under the control of the Yan army.

The secret movement of Li Mu's army could not conceal the intelligence personnel sent by Yan Guo in Yunzhong and Yanmen. The mobilization of any army in Yanmen and Yunzhong was passed back by Yan Guo's meticulous work at the fastest speed.

"General Sima, you said that the Yan army will not take Jinyang, is it to capture my Yanmen and Yunzhong?"

Li Mu asked Sima Shang.

Sima Shang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Li Muyan:

"General, the last general thinks, is this Lema confusing our army? The land of Jinyang is of great significance. After the Yan army occupied Daijun, the way to Jinyang was all plains, without any obstacles. ”

"And the Yan army wants to cut down my Yanmen and Yunzhong, not to mention the long distance, even the terrain, which is also unfavorable for the Yan army. The Yan army let Jinyang not attack, but came to attack our Yanmen and Yunzhong. General, this ...... It doesn't make sense! ”

After listening to Sima Shang's words, Li Mu nodded.

Sima Shang's words are true, between Daijun and Yanmen, there are Yanmen Mountains in the north, and Xiawu Mountains, Hongshou Mountains and other mountains in the east, and the roads are extremely poor. Moreover, the two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong are not as important as Jinyang.

The Yan army did not let Jinyang fight, but came to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong, which is indeed unreasonable.

Li Mu wandered around the tent twice, and after stopping, he said to Sima Shang:

"General Sima, your judgment is very reasonable. Lejian is probably confusing our army and making our army think that he is preparing to attack our Yanmen and Yunzhong, but in fact, his real intention is still Jinyang. ”

Before Li Mu's words were finished, the sound of war horses galloping came from inside the tent, and there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

Sima Shang turned around and looked outside the tent, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Li Mu was very strict in governing the army, and the Chinese army's big tent was not allowed to gallop at all in peacetime, unless there was an emergency military situation.

Sure enough, it didn't surprise Sima Shang, and after a while, a scout ran into the tent and reported to Li Muyu:

"General Qiyu, I just got the news that the army of the Yan Kingdom has set off from Banshi County and is coming towards my Pingcheng."

"What?" Li Mu's eyes widened.

Now there is no need to guess so much, it seems that the Yan army is preparing to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong.

"Presumably, the Yan army already knows the movements of our army, and knows that our army has gathered in Pingcheng. This is to prepare to annihilate our army, and then wave the army south to capture Jinyang, the main general of the Yan army, what a big appetite! ”

Li Mu looked at the map and said to the deputy general Sima Shang.

"General, it seems that this is true?" Sima Shang replied.

In an instant, Li Mu was extremely angry in his heart, this music room was too underestimating himself!

"Humph! This music is too deceitful, do you really think that my Li Mu is pinched by soft persimmons? I, Li Mu, want to see how much ability you have in Lejian to take my two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong. ”

Li Mu said this and slapped the map in front of him.

"General Sima, since Le Jian wants to attack my Yanmen and Yunzhong, let's let him see the majesty of the sons and daughters of the northern Xinjiang of my Zhao Kingdom!" Li Mu turned around and said to the deputy general Sima Shangyan.

"The general is mighty!" Sima Shang looked at Li Mu, his blood boiling.
