After thinking about it and taking into account various factors, Li Mu made up his mind that no matter whether he captured the Black Flag Pass first or not, the Zhao army must act quickly.

The gray weather is getting worse and worse, and if there is heavy snow, according to the situation in the north, it will definitely be goose feather snow, and the mountains will be covered with heavy snow in a few days.

If the heavy snow closes the mountain and the official road outside the Saiwai is covered with heavy snow, it will soon be difficult to transfer grain, and the Zhao army that attacked the Black Flag Pass will become a lone army.

At that time, the Yan army in various parts of the Saiwai will inevitably return to the Black Flag Pass, and the situation of the Zhao army will become even worse, and it is very likely that it will be surrounded by the Yan army.

Ten miles away from the Black Flag Pass, in the tent of the commander of the Zhao army, all the generals present followed Li Munan's expedition to the north, all of them made great achievements, and they were all important generals in the Great Zhao army.

Under the influence of Li Mu, the generals in the handsome tent will be the generals of the town and the side of the defense in any vassal state!

At this time, in the handsome tent, Li Mu stood with his hands in his hands, looking more than forty years old, his vicissitudes of life contained wind and frost, perhaps, often fighting, sleeping in the open, Li Mu's slashed national character face, it seemed several years older than his peers. But it also made Li Mu appear more and more calm and connotative.

At this moment, Li Mu raised his head and stared at the map of the north hanging on the screen, in the map, circles and dots of various colors, and arrows pointing in different directions, seemed to indicate that Li Mu had a long-term plan in his heart.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yan Army are fighting outside the Saiwai, Lin Feng is eyeing Ningwu Pass, we must not be ambiguous, we must quickly seize the Black Flag Pass." Li Mu's tone was serious, even if he didn't express his worries, he still seemed very anxious in his heart.

This is a war of time, gaining time with Yan and weather, and any side of the Zhao army running slow will die miserably.

"General, although the number of Yan troops is large, they also belong to different battlefields, and they are currently appearing outside the Saiwai, attacking the troops of Zhao State, only 50,000 troops led by Emperor Yan, and the other party is pointing at Ningwu and Zhenyuan. There are only 80,000 defenders in the two passes, and there are 100,000 defenders left in the Black Flag Pass, even if the general Hengbangchang is unknown, this battle is still not easy to fight! Vice General Yan Wushuang said with a heavy expression.

"Although the Yan army is good at fighting, Zhao Guohu is not a vegetarian animal, as long as the two deputy generals in the pass contain Lin Feng's army, we have 120,000 tigers, can't we help the Black Flag guards?"

Li Mu knew that this battle was not easy to fight, even if he didn't consider any problems, there was a very big gap between the checkpoints of the Yan and Zhao armies alone.

Ningwu Pass and Zhenyuan Pass are built by relying on hills and mountains, the terrain between the two passes is not like the Black Flag Pass, relying on the mountains to repair, and there are five or six miles of narrow mountain roads in the middle.

Attacking Ningwu Pass and Zhenyuan Pass was very difficult for the cavalry, but it was impossible to get close.

The Black Flag Pass is different, the narrow mountain road does not support cavalry charges at all, and if you want to really get close to the Black Flag Pass, you must walk forward, cross the six or seven miles of mountain road, and reach the bottom of the Black Flag Pass.

In that year, the 200,000 troops of the Rong people attacked the Black Flag Pass, but they did not capture the Black Flag Pass at a heavy price, which also caused the Rong people to collapse from then on.

Today, the situation of the Zhao State is far worse than the situation of the Rong people back then, if it were not for his support, I am afraid that it will be on the verge of extinction.

Li Mu stared at the map, from the left and right sides of the Black Flag Pass, and at the same time there was a long and narrow mountain road extending, it was not easy to capture the Black Flag Pass in this battle.

Moreover, after the battle with the Rong people in the early years, Liu Xuanyuan, the general of the Yan Kingdom, guarded the Black Flag Pass for three years, and he had already built the Black Flag Pass without leakage.

At present, the attack on the Black Flag Pass will definitely not work, after all, the Black Flag Pass is a pass, and the strong attack will only increase the casualties of the Zhao army.

When the generals heard Li Mu's ambition, they were all enthusiastic, and their eyes were focused on Li Mu, hoping that the other party would give a strategy for marching.

Glancing at the generals, Li Mu said bluntly: "According to the current situation, the general intends to temporarily stop attacking Black Flag Pass!" ”

The words fell, all the generals were shocked, the court military order required the army to attack the Black Flag Pass, and the general refused to carry it out, isn't it a blatant disobedience to the emperor's order?

"General, will this cause the emperor to be dissatisfied?" If it was placed in the past, Yan Wushuang would not have doubted Li Mu's actions, but the new emperor Zhao Fan was suspicious, and many old ministers of Zhao State, especially the famous ministers and generals who were loyal to Zhao Ke, were abolished and dismissed by him.

Li Mu personally escorted Zhao Ke back from outside the Saiwai, and supported Zhao Ke to ascend the throne, even if there was an order from the emperor, however, in the eyes of the people of the world and Zhao Fan, Li Mu was Zhao Ke's minister who once laid the country.

At present, if it were not for the urgency of the war outside the Saiwai, the Yan army would sweep the Saiwai tribe, and there would be a catastrophe for the Zhao State, and at this time, Zhao Fan would not dare to kill Li Mu, otherwise, Li Mu would most likely be deposed.

However, Li Mu shook his head lightly and said, "The general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and we must make strategic and tactical adjustments at any time according to the battlefield situation, not according to the orders of the court." ”

He didn't know that Zhao Fan was suspicious and jealous, but in order to ensure Zhao's victory in the north, he had to risk his personal safety.

Yan Wushuang was puzzled, his expression was puzzled, his eyes stared at Li Mu, and asked, "General, since we have attacked the Black Flag Pass, what should we do next, you also know our current situation!" ”

Li Mu said with a sly expression: "Quick battle? ”

Quick? The ambitions of the generals that had just boiled over were gradually calmed down.

The situation is not favorable to Zhao at all, whether it is attacking the Yan Emperor Legion or the Black Flag Pass, neither side of Zhao can guarantee a quick victory, and it does not have the ability to fight quickly.

After all, the Zhao army of Ningwu Pass and Zhenyuan Pass was on the defensive, and it was difficult to conquer the checkpoint when attacking the Black Flag Pass.

"General, a quick battle, if you don't attack the Black Flag Pass, how can you say a quick battle?" Zhang Boling, the deputy general next to him, asked.

Li Mulang laughed and said: "As the saying goes, shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before a king." You say, capturing Emperor Yan alive or killing Emperor Yan, and capturing Black Flag Pass, which thing is more beneficial to the current war? ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, secretly gave a thumbs up, and praised Li Mu for grasping the core of the matter in the chaos.

Attacking the Black Flag Pass can rob the grain and grass of the Yan State and solve the crisis of the Zhao army's grain ring, if the Yan Emperor is captured or killed, it will mean that the Yan State is defeated in the north.

Not only can you blackmail Yan Guo to return the wealth of Zhao State, but also be able to get back the Southern Zhao that she lost before, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

I only listened to Li Mudao: "The Black Flag Pass is thick with high walls, and 100,000 Yan troops are stationed, and it is extremely difficult to break through the pass, on the contrary, the current Yan Emperor has not attacked Ningwu Pass for the time being, we can make a feint to attack the Black Flag Pass, and when the Yan Emperor can't bear it and marches into Ningwu Pass, we will lead the army to kill it, and attack the Yan Emperor with the guards in the pass." 200,000 Zhao Guohu Ben, can't you completely annihilate 50,000 Yan troops, isn't this a joke?"

Everyone was silent, all thinking about Li Mu's suggestion, the Zhao army was divided into two groups, it was indeed difficult to cause damage to the Yan army, the two armies merged, the situation changed instantly, attacking the Yan Emperor to lead the troops, and regardless of whether the Zhao army could win or not, it would have an advantage in numbers alone.

With proper tactics, it is not impossible to annihilate the Yan army and capture Emperor Yan alive!

After a long time, Yan Wushuang said: "General, although your plan is good, I will hear that Emperor Yan led the blade warriors, with one enemy of ten, fifty thousand blade soldiers, which is enough to reach 500,000 ordinary troops. “

"Okay, defeating the most elite troops of the Yan Kingdom will not severely damage the momentum of the Yan army!" When Li Mu heard this, instead of being afraid and hesitating, on the contrary, his expression showed joy.

Over the past few years, the Yan army has fought in the south and the north, except for the blow of Wang Lunyue, it has rarely suffered defeats, Li Mu hopes that this time he can teach the Yan army a lesson, give Yan Guo a head drink, and kill the opponent's spirit.

If the Yan army is exhausted, Zhao will have a chance to breathe, and the alliance with the Saiwai tribe in the coming year will inevitably completely reverse the current situation that is unfavorable to Zhao.

Therefore, this battle is very important to the Zhao State, and if you can't annihilate the blade warriors, you can't capture or kill Emperor Yan alive, it will mean that Li Mu's plan is bankrupt.

After pondering for a long time, Li Mu slapped his palm on the desk, and asked sternly: "This battle is not trivial, the stakes are very important, and it directly determines the life and death of Yan and Zhao, not who of you is willing to take on the task of feintting to attack the Black Flag Pass, and who is willing to be responsible for attacking Emperor Yan's troops, and solving problems for this general." ”

As soon as the tactics changed, the generals suddenly became excited.

When the words fell, Zhang Boling stood up directly, and said impassionedly: "General, the last general asked to lead the army to personally attack Emperor Yan's troops, but he was not victorious, and Ningma leather shrouded!" ”

Zhao Guo lost a lot because of Zhao Fan, but Li Mu still has fierce generals like clouds, strategists like forests, not only Zhang Boling, Yan Wushuang generals with both civil and military skills, but also many fierce generals.

But everyone knows that Lin Feng is a peerless general, on the battlefield, there are few defeats, and there are elite troops of King Yan under his command.

No matter who attacks Yan State, he must face Emperor Yan and the elite of Yan State, Zhang Boling not only did not hesitate to ask for battle, but also made a military order, his courage, his courage is really admirable.

At this critical moment, Zhang Boling was not afraid of a strong enemy and decisively stood up to ask for battle, Li Mu was relieved in his heart, and couldn't help nodding slightly, showing approval on his face.

At this time, Yan Wushuang also stood up, did not ask for battle, but asked: "If Emperor Yan is besieged and the Yan army comes to the rescue from all directions, what should I do?" Aren't we caught up in a counter-encirclement? ”

Yan Wushuang could imagine that Emperor Yan was the monarch of Yan and had a noble status, if he was besieged by the Zhao army, the Yan army everywhere outside the fortress would quickly capture the king, and the Zhao army would fall into a counter-encirclement.

In that way, the two armies of Yan and Zhao will form an encirclement with Emperor Yan as the core, encircling each other, and the situation will become complicated.

Victory or defeat will become unpredictable!

Li Mu nodded, agreeing with Yan Wushuang's concern, but said with a smile: "Why do you want to fight quickly, because you are worried that the Yan army will return to defend and rescue Emperor Yan, so this fierce battle must be carried out quietly, and it must be fast." ”

"The last general understands, the last general asks to lead the army to kill Emperor Yan, and he will not die!" Yan Wushuang also made a military order, hoping to inflict heavy damage on the Yan army.

After all, if this battle is won, it will not only change the situation of Zhao State, but also make the generals who participated in the war famous all over the world!
