When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 508 Wang Jian: Li Mu is coming for me?
Looking at Li Mu's generals, Li Mu opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. He just looked at the backs of the generals leaving and sighed heavily.

He knew he couldn't let these generals leave, but he didn't know how to persuade them to stay.

How could Li Mu alone easily resolve the conflicts that had not been resolved in the Zhao Dynasty for hundreds of years?
And Li Mu now fully understood Qin Jun's plan.

The three counties of Dai, Yunzhong and Yanmen in Dai are indeed not of much value to the Qin State. Even Zhang Ji's [-] Qin army may fall into the quagmire of Dai and be unable to get out. However, after conquering Dai The three counties of Di Di suffered great losses to Zhao.

Zhao Guo not only lost the supply of war horses, but also lost the hearts of the frontier soldiers.

Of the 40 troops that Zhao Jun barely scraped together, only 20 were elite veterans with war experience, and 15 of them were frontier troops he brought from Daidi, and the other [-] were heavy troops under Zhao Cong. A Corps.

The other 20 are basically young and strong, and they don't have much war experience. Facing the tiger-wolf-like Qin army, you can imagine how much combat effectiveness they can exert.

There were still 10 border troops left behind in Dai, which meant that the Qin army directly replaced 18 Dai border troops at the cost of [-] people, leaving Zhao with only a group of young men with weak combat power.

Therefore, Qin State did not care about the value of the three counties of Daidi to Qin from the beginning, but cared about using 10 people and the risks brought by taking over the three counties of Daidi in exchange for the heavy losses suffered by Zhao State.

Without the Daichi border troops in hand, Li Mu no longer had the confidence to repel the Qin army with any certainty.

Make bricks without straw.

When Li Mu was elected as a general by Dai people, he had to spend nearly two years training Dai's border troops who had been fighting against the barbarians on the grassland all the year round, and finally trained them to destroy the evil forces. , defeated the Donghu, and surrendered to the Daidi border troops of Linhu.

"Guo Kai, I hope you can succeed."

Li Mu smiled bitterly. In the past, Guo Kai, whom he hated the most, had now become the only glimmer of hope for the Zhao country.

Negotiate peace and form an alliance. As long as the former is achieved, Zhao will be able to immediately transfer the [-] Zhao troops stranded on the Yan-Zhao battlefield back to the Qin-Zhao front line.

And if an alliance can be formed, it will further ease the pressure on Zhao's military strength.

However, it was time for him to do something.

Politics is not what he is good at, but the military aspect...

Puyang City, Qin Army Camp
Looking at the information that had just been handed over to him by a spy, Wang Jian looked a little strange.

The mission of his West Route Army was to conquer the Yanhe Fortress, then penetrate into the hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom, and then turn it upside down, directly cutting off the connection between Zhao's capital Danhan and Zhongshan.

At that time, whether he goes north to take Zhongshan and gradually encroach on Zhao State, or directly goes south to raid Danhan, the capital of Zhao, it will be up to him.

The only difference between the former and the latter is the time required to destroy Zhao.

However, Zhao General Yan Ju did have some time to build the palace and the fortress like an iron wall based on the mountains and rivers. The other party even set up a lot of giant crossbows to guard against the public losers bat wings in the sky, so as not to lose the good generals. capital.

In comparison, the defender of Puyang City next door was far behind. He surrendered to Qin without even being able to withstand the Qin army's three-day offensive.

And with Yangcheng as the foundation, Wang Jian's [-]-strong army would simply be wasted along with the city.

He knew the true purpose of Zhang Ji's 15-strong army marching north to Dai. If Zhao lost the support of 30 Dai's border troops, he and Wang Jue's 25 Qin soldiers would attack and garrison only 20 people. If there are [-] young people who have never been on the battlefield, if the situation cannot be opened up, then he and Wang Ye will simply retire and return home.However, what Wang Jian didn't expect was that while he was still talking about Zhang Ji yesterday, detailed information came from Luowang today.

In the palace of King Zhao, the generals of Dai officially broke with Zhao and were ready to lead their troops to withdraw to the three counties of Dai.

Of course, all this was expected.

Pang Nuan and Zhang Ji, who conducted a detailed investigation of Li Mu, were very accurate in their analysis and positioning of Li Mu. He was an extraordinary talent no less than Wu'an Jun Bai Qi. He was a natural commander, but he did not have much political wisdom, and even more Ignorant of human feelings and sophistication.

Li Mu's character of attaching great importance to love and justice made it impossible for Li Mu to agree to any bloody means to suppress the unrest of the border troops in Daidi.

But he didn't expect that Li Mu's strategy to deal with this desperate situation was to launch an attack and try to repel them first.

I just didn't expect that Li Mu's attack direction would be...

"Li Mu actually came after me?"

Wang Jian passed the information in his hand to Wang Bi and others for circulation. Although he was excited to compete with an opponent like Li Mu, he always felt like he was being underestimated.

It was as if he was Li Mu's pick.

In fact, strictly speaking, although Wang Jian only had [-] Qin troops under his command, the [-] Qin troops under his command were concentrated on an extremely narrow front.

On the contrary, although Wang Yan's side has 20 troops, they are scattered on the long southern front. Regardless of the general who leads the troops, Wang Yan's side is easier to defeat.

But although Wang Jian has already entered middle age and is one of the three generals of the Qin State, his reputation is not obvious.

The battle in Qicheng was regarded as a fluke by many people.

After all, without Meng Ao's timely rescue, Wang Jian would not have been able to defend Wucheng. However, it is politically correct for the world to belittle the Qin State and directly ignore the composition of Wang Jian's army. At that time, the coalition forces were not only numerically superior, but also The elites of Chu and Zhao.

Since then, Wang Jian's achievements have been nothing more than minor successes.

In contrast, Wang Jue was a veteran general of the Qin State. He followed Bai Qi all year round in the south and north, and became famous on the battlefields of Qin and Zhao. In the early stages of the Changping War, he conquered the Nanshang Party and once again pinned Lian Po to the ground. In the eyes of Zhao people, the threat is far greater than that of Wang Jian, the "unknown" general.

Moreover, even if Yecheng and Zhongmou on the southern line are all lost, there are still three strong cities of Pingyang, Wucheng, and Yi'an, as well as the Zhaonan Great Wall and the Fanwu Fortress in the rear, which will not put Danhan into immediate danger. .

It seemed that Li Mu's choice of Wang Jian was indeed an excellent choice, but the leader of the Qin Army on the West Route was Wang Jian.

Among the three Qin armies, Zhang Ji is good at maneuvering and has the most comprehensive ability; Wang Jie is good at attacking and attacks swiftly and violently; and Wang Jian, the most important characteristic of leading an army is "stability".

Whether it's offense or defense, Wang Jian's characteristic is stability.

Even when Wang Jian attacks, he will give the enemy a feeling that there is absolutely no opportunity to take advantage of it. It is a sense of oppression that is overwhelming with the help of Huanghuang's general momentum, which makes people feel as if they are on the chopping block.

As for the defensive ability... King Qin Zhuangxiang appointed him as a lieutenant to guard Xianyang. After King Qin Zhuangxiang's funeral, no matter whether it was the Queen Mother Huayang, Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei or Ying Zheng of the Chu family, no matter who was in charge, they never asked him to guard Xianyang. Although he expressed any objections, he still entrusted Wang Jian with important tasks, which can be seen from this.
