Chapter 15 It is a must

Li Mu, who is it?

That is the coward in the minds of the Zhao people, greedy for life and afraid of death, timid and afraid of war, all of which are titles given to Li Mu by the Zhao people.

Zhao Ren has a heroic personality and is brave and good at fighting.

Especially the generals of Zhao State here, even more so, even Lian Po, a general, is not exempt from vulgarity.

Li Muzhen guarded northern Xinjiang for several years, although he was meritorious.

However, the other party was timid and timid, and every time he saw the Huns attacking, he turned into a turtle with a shrunken head early.

As a result, for several years, the defenders of northern Xinjiang have hardly killed a few Huns.

This kind of behavior is despised by the Zhao people.

Therefore, when Zhao Jia recommended Li Mu to Lian Po, Lian Po was actually a little uncomfortable in his heart.

As if seeing through what Lian Po was thinking, Zhao Jia couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

It was only at this time that he seemed to understand why Li Mu did not begin to rise until Lian Po defected to Wei.

There are fundamental differences between the two people.

Li Mu is imaginative, as long as he can win, no matter what means he uses.

This concept of using troops has many similarities with those strategists in the Three Kingdoms period in later generations.

On the other hand, Lian Po is known for his bravery and good fighting.

Lian Po used his troops in an upright manner, and most of his contemporaries were like generals, either offensive or defensive, and they were competing for absolute strength.

Although this method of warfare is steady and does not make big mistakes, it also lacks the spirit of adventure.

When encountering an enemy weaker than himself, Lian Po will completely defeat him with the power of destroying and decaying.

If he encounters a strong enemy like Qin, Lian Po can only retreat and defend passively, and it is difficult to win.

This is also why, from the beginning of the Battle of Changping to the almost collapse of the Zhao State, Lian Po has always been a passive defense.

Because, Lian Po was not confident that he could defeat the Qin army, so he was unwilling to fight with it.

Due to Lian Po's lack of adventurous spirit and did not consider the rest of the strategies, whether he could defeat the Qin army.

"Li Mu is timid and cowardly, how can he command 100,000 old and weak women and children and contain 200,000 Yan troops?"

"Yes, even if the general hands over this important task to Li Mu, the other party may not dare to take it."

"Li Mu has a bad reputation, if he is allowed to command his troops to resist Qing Qin, Yan Guo will definitely think that my Zhao people are as timid and cowardly as Li Mu, so wouldn't it increase the prestige of the enemy!"

Lian Po did not answer, and all the generals present spoke out against it.

Obviously, no general of Zhao State can afford to look down on Li Mu, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is timid and cowardly.

When Zhao Jia heard this, he didn't say anything more.

He looked at Lian Po, then lowered his head and was silent, quietly listening to everyone's condemnation of Li Mu.

Lian quite knows what he wants.

He said to everyone: "Today's military discussion is over, you will leave for the time being, and quickly gather men and horses to prepare for battle." ”

The generals received the order and retreated one after another, only Zhao Jia stayed.

"What do you want to say to me alone?"

Zhao Jia said respectfully: "Don't hide it from the teacher, Jia does have something to say, so I can only say it to the teacher alone." ”

Lian Po's face was not very good-looking, and said, "Could it be that it is still Li Mu's matter?" ”

Zhao Jia Zhengse said: "Yes and no." ”

Although Lian Po was a little unhappy in his heart, he finally knew that his disciple was not a person who did not know how to advance and retreat.

Since Zhao Jia insisted on recommending Li Mu, there must be a reason.

"Then you can convince me."

Lian Po didn't look at Zhao Jia again, but walked to the side of the map and set his eyes on Daiyi.

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and said, "Li Mu has been in charge of Northern Xinjiang for a long time, and he knows all the cities and mountains and rivers in Dai County. ”

"Let him take charge of the army, Li Mu is completely able to rely on the terrain advantage to deal with the 200,000 Yan army."

"Although Li Mu has a bad reputation, he is known for being cautious and good at guarding after all, and this task can only be completed by Li Mu."

When Lian Po heard this, he immediately put away his gaze, and his eyes showed a look of thought.

Li Mu gives people the feeling that he is timid, shrinking, and sparing his life, and only this kind of person can lead 100,000 old and weak women and children to deal with 200,000 Yan troops.

The most important thing is that there is indeed no one among the generals of the DPRK and China who knows the terrain of Daijun better than Li Mu.

"Have you ever thought about that?"

"Li Mu has a bad reputation, if this person is used to lead the old and weak women and children against Qing Qin, Yan Guo will definitely think that there is no one available in my Zhao State."

"This battle is related to the life and death of my Zhao country, and it is also a battle for Zhao to gain a foothold, how can it be underestimated by other countries?"

Zhao Jia shook his head when he heard this.

"As long as we can break the Yan army, no vassal state will dare to look down on my Zhao country."

Lian Po's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "Yan Guo sent 600,000 troops, even I don't have the confidence to be able to block the other party's attack, where do you get the confidence to be able to break the Yan army?" ”

Zhao Jia Zhengse said: "Chestnut returned to Yan Country and informed King Yan that all the men of Zhao Kingdom died in Changping, and the orphans have not yet grown into young and strong." ”

"This made King Yan make up his mind to attack my Zhao Kingdom with the strength of the country."

"The strength of the Yan State is almost five times that of me, if I deliberately show the enemy weakness, let the Yan army think that my Zhao State really has no soldiers to fight, and he will definitely underestimate the enemy."

"What's more, although the Yan army claims to be 600,000, there are only 200,000 soldiers who are really capable of fighting, of which there are only 130,000 elite warriors under the command of Chestnut Belly."

"When the Yan army penetrates deep into the hinterland of Zhao and the battle line is lengthened, our army can concentrate all its elite forces and break it."

When Lian Po heard this, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.

Before that, he had always thought about how to defend the city and block the Yan army.

Lian Po hadn't thought about it yet, so he took the initiative to attack the Yan army.

It's not that Lian is stupid.

It's just that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and if you don't rely on the location of the city for defense, it is basically impossible to have a chance of winning.

Fortunately, Lian Po also knows how to fight.

was reminded by Zhao Jia like this, Lian Po was like an initiation, and the surging battle intent immediately swept through his body.

"Showing the enemy weakness made the Yan army relax its vigilance, and lured the enemy deep into making the Yan army's battle line elongated and the troops scattered."

"Finally, we will concentrate the elite soldiers who can fight and give the Yan army a thunderous blow."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

The more Lian Po thought about it, the more excited he became, and the burden that was suppressed in his heart seemed to be unloaded at this time.

Lian Po's mind changed sharply, and he quickly woke up and said: "You deliberately abandoned Daijun, I'm afraid it is also a sign of weakness to the enemy." ”

"Let Li Mu, a timid and war-feared person, command 100,000 old and weak women and children, I'm afraid it is also to paralyze the Yan army."

"In this way, Yan Jun must think that there is no one available in my Zhao country."

"In the end, I will raid the chestnut belly with the soldiers who can fight the whole country, although the soldiers and horses under the chestnut belly are numerous, but the elite can fight but they do not have an advantage, so that they have a chance to break it!"

Lian Po has been on the battlefield for a long time, and quickly figured out the key, and his face became more and more radiant.

Zhao Jia bowed his head and didn't say anything more.

He believed in Lian Po's talent, and since he had figured out the key, it was impossible not to use Li Mu.

This candidate must be Li Mu.

Soon, Lian Po suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He said solemnly: "This matter must not be told to outsiders, so as not to leak it out, so that the chestnut belly is prepared." ”

Zhao Jia's face was solemn and nodded.

It was precisely because he knew the stakes that he waited until all the other generals had left before informing Lian Po of the plan.

Perhaps these generals were loyal to Zhao.

However, this strategy is related to the victory or defeat of the entire war, and the life and death of Zhao State, Zhao Jia has to be cautious.

"I'll secretly play the king, and order Li Mu to command 100,000 troops to go to Daijun to contain and confuse Qing Qin."

Lian Po acted vigorously and resolutely.

Now that he has made up his mind, he has not dragged his feet in the slightest.
