Chapter 464 Attacking the Strong with Strong Forces, Who Is Stronger?
"Collusion?" Hearing this word, Queen Mother Zhao couldn't help but tremble in her heart. In the current situation, if this word really happened to Li Mu, it would be too lethal, enough to bring Zhao Guo to its end.
"Is that really the case?" Queen Mother Zhao said solemnly.
"It's hard to say." Faced with Queen Mother Zhao's questioning, Guo Kai shook his head and said, "I only know that Li Mu has enough face in Qin State. ,inevitable……"
"Inevitable what?" Queen Mother Zhao asked.
"Forget it, Li Mu may not lead his army to surrender to Qin." Guo Kai shook his head at this point.
"Then what did you just say?" Hearing that Guo Kai said good things for Li Mu again, Empress Dowager Zhao became more puzzled in her panic.
"Li Mu is doing nothing now, just confronting the Qin army. Maybe he wants to sit and watch the success or failure of the Great Wall at the southern border. If we can repel the Qin army at the Great Wall at the southern border, then he will still be a loyal minister of Zhao. Once our army at the Great Wall at the southern border Showing signs of defeat, he might become Qin Chen." Guo Kai explained.
Guo Kaizhi didn't say anything else, it was quite reasonable, seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhao showed hesitation, she obviously listened to Guo Kai's words.
"You mean that Li Mu and Yang Ming have formed a tacit understanding, and they want to sit and watch the victory and defeat of the Great Wall in the southern border, and then make plans?" Queen Mother Zhao asked.
If Guo Kai directly said that Li Mu was going to surrender to Qin, then the Queen Mother Zhao would still have doubts, but now that Guo Kai said that Li Mu was going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in order to find a way out for her family, the Queen Mother Zhao believed it, because Thinking of herself and others, she felt that if she was in Li Mu's position now, she would probably choose this choice that can be gained or retreated.
"It cannot be said that Li Mu really thinks so, but at least there is a great possibility." Guo Kai said.
"If this is the case, what should we do?" Queen Mother Zhao asked.
"The queen mother may wish to order Li Mu to fight with the king's order, so as to find out what Li Mu is thinking. If he really thinks that way, the queen mother needs to consider the issue of changing generals. If I am just worrying too much, then for For the Queen Mother and Zhao Guo, it is naturally better." Guo Kai replied.
Empress Dowager Zhao thought about Guo Kai's proposal, and felt that it was quite reasonable. Urging Li Mu to fight could really test Li Mu's true intentions, so as not to be deceived by him and cause disaster to the Zhao country.
"Just follow Xiangguo's words." The Queen Mother Zhao pondered.
Although the distance from Zhao Du to Li Mu's army was three or four hundred miles away, it was just ordinary in front of the envoys who came out from Zhao Wang's palace. The envoys had already appeared in Li Mu's tent of the Chinese army.
"Go to battle?" Li Mu looked at the edict in his hand, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Don't he know when to go to battle on the battlefield?When did you need someone from the capital who had never been on a battlefield to command?
"I also ask the general to fight as soon as possible. The Qin army's offensive on the southern Great Wall is getting more and more fierce. There is a possibility of breaking through the southern Great Wall at any time. If the general cannot win as soon as possible here, and the southern Great Wall is breached again, then we The country of Zhao is in danger." The servant from Zhao Palace said earnestly.
"I see." Li Mu put away the edict and said.
Just got it?Is there anything else to say after knowing it?The envoy subconsciously thought, but Li Mu had a great reputation in Zhao, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
And in the subsequent development of time, Li Mu really just knew it, he just knew it, but whether to act according to the order is another matter.
In the Qin army still guarding the camp, the Zhao army was as stable as Mount Tai, but the security of the Zhao army fell to the Zhao Palace, but it became another thing.
So, on the fifth day after Li Mu received the war reminder, the second war reminder appeared in Li Mu's central army tent again, but Li Mu's answer was still just knowing.
On the eighth day, the third war urging edict appeared again in Li Mu's central army tent.
"General, is the Great Wall at the southern border really in danger?" Sima Shang looked at the three edicts on Li Mu's case with a serious look on his face. With the pressure from the army and the pressure from the Zhao Palace, this battle is really not easy to fight.
"It's impossible for the Qin army to break through the Great Wall in the southern border so quickly. It's us who can really determine the life and death of our Zhao country." Li Mu said decisively.
The Great Wall in the South was built on the basis of the Zhangshui levee in those days. The two walls separated the Zhangshui. Without major changes in the army, it is impossible for the Qin army to break through the Great Wall in the south within a few months.
"Then this edict?" Sima Shang asked, looking at the edict on Li Mu's case.
"Those people are worried about us. Now I understand why Yang Ming is not in a hurry to attack." Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"What did the general find?" Sima Shang asked.
"Yang Ming is waiting for these war urging edicts. He doesn't want to avoid the war, he wants to force us to a decisive battle." Li Mu said.
"Yang Ming is trying to force us to fight?" Sima Shang asked in surprise.
Since the beginning of the war between Qin and Zhao, the Qin army did not fight behind closed doors, and actually wanted to force the Zhao army to fight a decisive battle. Such a thing is too weird.
"That kid is even more arrogant than we imagined. Any prudence is false. He thinks that if he launches an attack, I will definitely avoid his edge and choose to wait for changes. He doesn't have enough confidence to defeat Yixin in a short time. I was on the defensive, that's why I put on the defensive." Qin Jun's behavior that confused him once was completely explained now.
"He is so sure that Qin Jun defends, will we make the same choice as him?" Sima Shang doubted, if Yang Ming had such deep calculations at the beginning of the war, it would be too scary.
Because it not only accurately calculated Li Mu, but also accurately calculated the reaction from the Zhao Palace. Is this mentality still the brave and invincible Yang Ming on the battlefield?It is an existence that is better at calculating people's hearts than the disciples of the Strategists.
"It's useless to say these things now. We have indeed made the choice Yang Ming expected, and now these edicts have indeed appeared with us as he imagined." Li Mu tapped his fingers on the book case, crisply The voice made the atmosphere in the big tent even more dull.
Seeing Li Mu's reaction, Sima Shang chose to keep his mouth shut. In this situation, Li Mu needs to think carefully about what choice he should make.
As time passed bit by bit, Li Mu finally said after an unknown amount of time, "Since Yang Ming wants to fight us decisively, shall we do what he wants, head-to-head? I like it too."
"Great general?" Sima Shang subconsciously said, choosing to fight the Qin army now, isn't it just like Li Mu said before that the art of war is taboo, falling into the opponent's rhythm?
"A decisive battle! It's actually what I want." Li Mu said.
"Facing someone like Yang Ming, no matter what strategy is actually useless, what we can think of, he can think of, the only way is to fight with force." Among the two hostile military camps, after a long time, Between the two hostile generals, they actually said the same thing.
"But isn't the decisive battle too unfavorable for us now?" Sima Shang asked his own question.
"If we have an absolute advantage, the Qin army will avoid the battle instead. The situation is very good now. Both the enemy and us have the intention of a decisive battle." Li Mu said.
"General, the Qin army has a total of 15. Even if they throw away the 2 people they used to maintain the logistics and logistics, their soldiers are still 13. On our side, even if they have conquered even larger troops from various places, people, but only 12 soldiers are obtained, and there are not 12 real soldiers." Sima Shang reminded.
"But you should also see that Qin's army is not the strongest at the moment. If the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army under Yang Ming's command is full, I might really have to consider the feasibility of a decisive battle. But in recent years, Yang Ming's The Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army has been dismantled by Qin Wangzheng to remove three units of 6000 people. Although we do not have an advantage in total force, we are not necessarily weaker than the Qin army in terms of the number of elites." Li Mu analyzed for Sima Shang.
The combat power of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army of the Qin State has been proven many times over the years. The military soldiers of the Wei State, the elite of the Zhao State, and the four major armies of the Chu State have all dyed the battle flags of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army with their own blood. The army, even Zhao Guo's side cavalry, must feel heavy pressure. Unfortunately, the current Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army is not at its peak state. This is Zhao Jun's opportunity.
"Also, there is one more thing. You may have noticed that from the end of January until now, our country of Zhao has only had one rain. You know what that means." Li Mu continued.
"There will be a big famine this year?" Sima Shang said.
"Yes, there will be a big famine this year, and that's why we must fight decisively. Compared with the Qin army, we can't afford to wait." Li Mu replied
"So, the decisive battle?" Sima Shang asked, as if he was asking Li Mu, but also asking himself, the current situation has reached such a point that there is no reason to avoid the battle, but Sima Shang is very ugly in this situation. to the chance of victory.
"Decisive battle!" Compared to Sima Shang's hesitation, Li Mu at this time has only firmness, a determination to gamble everything.
Seeing Li Mu with a confident face, Sima Shang felt a little more courage in his heart. Li Mu has never been defeated in all these years, no matter whether it is against the wolf clan, the Yan country, or the current Qin country. Li Mu has created too many miracles.
This time, the general will be able to create miracles again, even if he is facing the captain of Qin's army guard, isn't he the same kid from back then?Sima Shang said to himself in his heart, his determination became deeper and deeper.
Zhao Jun has never lacked the courage to fight.
