Chapter 401: Teach Li Mu after the general
Zhao Kuo's order, the soldiers of Daidi were naturally all brave, and the generals of Daidi were also a little relieved. If you can keep it, it's good if you can keep it! I am afraid that this general will ignore the actual situation and insist on attacking regardless of it.
Of course, from Zhao Kuo's words, it is not difficult to hear that if you want the imperial court to allocate reinforcements, I am afraid there will be certain difficulties. But this doesn't matter, as long as you defend and don't take the initiative to attack, with more than 70,000 troops now, not to mention foolproof, at least you won't fall too much land.
It's a pity that what they don't know is that they don't have an army of 70,000 at all, not even the previous 60,000.
In Zhao Kuo's expectation, not only the 10,000 troops he led, but also the 20,000 cavalry in Daidi would follow him back to Handan to resist Yan and save Zhao.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to hold on.
It's just that Zhao Kuo won't tell them these calculations. Because, Zhao Kuo knows very well that the situation in Daidi is not as good as Changping, and it is far from the point of exhaustion, and no one can say whether Yan Guo will attack, even if it is Zhao Kuo, it is just speculation.
This also leads to the fact that the generals of Daidi are unlikely to have the same determination as the generals of Changping, and although Zhao Kuo is already quite authoritative at this time, he does not have the endorsement of a general like Lian Po, and it is also difficult for the generals of Daidi to trust themselves unconditionally.
Therefore, winning the trust of the vast majority of low-level soldiers and the trust of a few key generals is Zhao Kuo's only choice.
After a speech won the promise of the soldiers of Macheng, Zhao Kuo immediately disbanded the generals, and left the key general, Li Mu, alone.
"What? It seems that General Li is a little disappointed with the arrangement of this general? As soon as he sat down, Zhao Kuo threw out a king bomb for Li Mu.
Under this explosion, Li Mu jumped up directly.
"The last general, the last general......" Li Mu simply didn't know how to answer.
Originally, the general left himself with a narrative, which was an extremely honorable thing, but he didn't want the general to ask such a fatal question as soon as he came up - to criticize the general's decision-, how many heads do he have enough to cut off?!
But in the deepest part of his heart, Li Mu really had some disappointment. It's not that the stubborn decision is wrong, it's just that there is some mediocrity. After all, the general he hoped for should be the general who could lead him to create miracles!
Now, the thoughts in his heart have been caught by the general, and for a while, even Li Mu doesn't know how to deal with it.
Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu, who was a little embarrassed, and didn't know that he had guessed correctly.
Even if he laughed out loud, only an enterprising general would be a little dissatisfied with his slightly mediocre arrangement, and such a general was exactly what Zhao Kuo urgently needed. Especially if this general is still Li Mu, it couldn't be better.
"Come on, come on...... Sit down and talk. Ben didn't blame you, what to panic about. Zhao Kuo smiled and asked Li Mu to sit down again.
"There is dissatisfaction, there is disappointment, this is the right response." Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu while picking up a piece of dried meat on the desk and said slowly.
"That's what I want, too." Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu, who was a little stunned, and continued: "Only the generals who want to win and want to completely solve the Hu people will have great hope for the arrival of the general, and will they be disappointed in the general's arrangement. You say, right? ”
Listening to the general's question, Li Mu's face turned red.
That's right, that's not telling the general that we're just disappointed in you; It's not right, Li Mu really doesn't know how to refute this......
Zhao Kuo didn't embarrass Li Mu either, and then continued: "Ben will be very pleased to have great hopes for Ben Jiang, but what Ben is going to tell you is that in all wars, don't think that you can win with strange tricks. In the final analysis, it is still more to win than to plan, and the strength to win is weak. ”
Listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Li Mu was also thoughtful.
"What, don't you believe it?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.
"General, the last general also believed it, but it can be ...... in Changping," Li Mu replied weakly.
In that way, he was extremely aggrieved, as if to say: You fought the immortal war yourself, how can you be embarrassed to say anything strong and weak? Could it be that the Qin State is still weaker than my Zhao State?
When Zhao Kuo heard this, he smiled slightly.
"Yes, on the surface, the combat power of the Qin army is more than 600,000, and the follow-up grain and ordnance are endless, and our army is only less than 500,000, even if you add more than 100,000 troops of Wei, it is just to look at 600,000, and with the combat power of the Wei army, how can it be Zhao Guoqiang and Qin weak?" Zhao Kuo seemed to say what was in Li Mu's heart again.
Hearing this, Li Mu nodded dryly.
"Let's do the math." Zhao Kuo said very calmly: "From the perspective of combat strength, the 600,000 troops of the Qin army and the 500,000 troops of my Zhao State have been stationed along the Danshui line for three years. On the other hand, the Wei army, although its combat strength is insufficient, is a new force in the end, and it is a surprise to the Qin army, and the Qin army's losses can also be seen. In this way, the strength of the two sides has rapidly narrowed closer. ”
"In this case, my Da Zhao still has a huge advantage." Zhao Kuo lightly picked up another piece of dried meat and sent it to Li Mu's plate, and then said slowly: "People's heart." ”
"The people of the party hate Qin and Le Zhao. Therefore, our army was able to hide 100,000 troops in the Great Grain Mountain under the nose of the Qin army, and the tens of thousands of Wei troops could also quietly cross the Danshui and go north, which is also the reason why our army once again captured the Danshui barrier, but it was not known to the Qin army. Zhao Kuo continued.
"If it is said that it is luck to hide soldiers once, but if it is successful twice or three times, it is not a word of luck that can be said to be exhausted." Zhao Kuo concluded: "In terms of combat power, the Wei army was introduced, so that the overall combat power was basically balanced with the Qin army, coupled with the attachment of the people, at the strategic level, we are already strong and the enemy is weak." ”
"As for on a specific tactical level." Zhao Kuo picked up another piece of dried meat and said, "You eat it too!" ”
"Yes." Li Mu, who had been deeply attracted by Zhao Kuo's discussion, hurriedly picked up the dried meat that Zhao Kuo had just clipped, and swallowed it into his stomach in three or two, but his eyes were still staring at Zhao Kuo. Obviously, he was waiting for Zhao Kuo's next tactical explanation.
"From a tactical level." Zhao Kuo saw that Li Mu was so fascinated, and while secretly rejoicing in his heart, he also continued to the future: "If you are stronger, you will win, and if you are weak, you will lose."
From the very beginning of the attack on the west bank barrier, our army dispatched almost all the elites, while the Qin army used part of its strength to oppose our hundreds of thousands of troops, and this battle was naturally won by our army;
Then, in the pursuit battle, our side sent young men to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield, while the Qin army broke off with elites, so the effect of the pursuit was not significant;
Later, the battle of the cavalry in the north, not to mention, our army won the elite of the border army in Daidi, and could suppress the Qin army in a short period of time, but after all, the follow-up was weak, and the lack of troops made our army gradually lose the initiative on the battlefield;
As for the Qin army's re-attack on the barriers, it was even more so.
Until the final Qin army's counterattack on Jiepai Ridge, all the strong won, and the weak lost. All of them are so. ”
Looking at the thoughtful Li Mu, Zhao Kuo didn't say anything more, and went straight to eat the dried meat, after all, what others said was only someone else's, and what he realized was his own.
"The general's intention is to attack the enemy as much as possible, and this side is an opportunity to win?" Li Mu really lived up to Zhao Kuo's expectations, and soon realized what Zhao Kuo wanted to express, and even began to draw inferences from one another.
"Now, the Hu people are strong, and our army is weak, if we force an attack, we will be counterattacked. Defense, with the fortification of the city wall, increase our combat power, so that it is possible to fight with the Hu people? Li Mu looked at Zhao Kuo excitedly and continued: "In the coming year, after the troops are replenished, and then counterattack with superior forces, the Hu people can be pacified." ”
Zhao Kuo nodded, but shook his head again.
"The strength of the weak, you can not be confined to the length of the army, but increase the solidity of the city wall, which is already good. However, your vision is still not broad. Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu with a smile.
"Please also ask the general for advice." Li Mu immediately asked.
"As a general, you should know yourself and your opponent. The weakness of our army, you know it, how to make it stronger, you also think about it, however, this is all a confidant, how should you know the other? Zhao Kuo tried to guide Li Mudao.
"Pix?" Li Mu was still a little puzzled.
"The other one, Hu Ren also! And not the country of my Central Plains. Zhao Kuo continued to remind with a smile.
"This?" Li Mu frowned, but he still didn't understand what he meant.
Zhao Kuo was helpless, but he couldn't blame Li Mu, he had been defending the battle for the past three years, and he had almost never attacked, so he had no vigilance for taking the initiative.
Of course, the more important reason is that as a native of Zhao State, or the Central Plains countries, I never thought of studying those Hu people from the bottom of my heart. After all, their swords are so backward, and their combat power is so weak. If it weren't for the skill of "coming and going like the wind", the Hu people would have been slaughtered by the Central Plains countries.
No way, this is the Iron Age versus the Bronze Age!
No need to research, let alone disdain research.
Zhao Kuo sighed lightly and said, "This is the second lesson I have taught you, never underestimate your opponents, always pay attention to them, and do everything you can to understand them and master them." Even if the opponent is just a rabbit, you must do your best to understand him, and if you master and understand a little more, you may be able to shed a few drops of blood for the soldiers under your command, and the people in the rear will shed a few tears. ”
"Yes." When Li Mu heard this, he was secretly ashamed in his heart, and then clasped his hands into fists and respectfully saluted Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo nodded, calmly accepted this etiquette, and then continued: "On the grassland, most of them are nomadic herders, living in the grass. It can be said that there is no fixed place to live. ”
