"Unlike the countries in the Central Plains, although they are called one country, each tribe actually does its own thing. The so-called Chanyu is called a king, but he is actually the leader of a large tribe. He is called Wang Ting, but in fact he controls other tribes under him. The control is very limited," Zhao Kuo continued.
Li Mu nodded slightly, he still knew this common sense of the grassland.
"Whenever a war starts, the Chanyu issues an order, and the nearby tribes naturally gather at the Chanyu's place and act with the royal court. But the tribes that are a little further away, especially those closer to the battlefield, will not go back to look for the royal court. , but wait for the royal court where the main force is, and then go to join them." Zhao Kuo said lightly, and then looked at Li Mu.
The words have been made so clearly. If the fighter plane cannot be discovered again, it will not be Li Mu.
"The general wishes that our army can defeat some tribes before the grassland army is fully assembled to reduce the enemy's power?" Li Mu asked with some surprise.
"General, do you think it's feasible?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.
"Of course it's feasible!" Li Mu was obviously very excited!
It has been three years, and the city has been trapped every time. Although it was said that the city was finally defended and no barbarians broke into the city, only the person involved knew the aggrievedness.
Now, with the advice of the general, we have finally grasped the weakness of the Hu people. Is there any reason why it can't be done?
Li Mu only regretted that he did not understand the Hu people earlier and failed to discover the characteristics of the Hu people's march earlier, which allowed the Hu people to run rampant in this place for three years.
Zhao Kuo heard this but did not comment, and then continued to ask: "Where is the pass for this battle?"
"Information!" Li Mu replied almost without thinking.
Zhao Kuo nodded and signaled Li Mu to continue.
"If our army takes the initiative to attack, it will be like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. It needs to be steady, accurate and ruthless! The first thing is to find out the marching route of the Hu people's ministries, so as to select the target, and then use the absolute superior force to carry out a thunderous blow against the ministries. When the main force of the Hu people did not respond, they were completely defeated.
From this point of view, our army must accurately grasp the behavior of various tribes of barbarians in the grassland, so that we can take advantage of their gaps to carry out this plan. "Li Mu replied simply.
Zhao Kuo couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart after hearing this. After all, it was still Li Mu. He was just starting out, and Li Mu had already figured out the battle plan.
"It's just." Li Mu hesitated slightly.
"But it doesn't matter." Zhao Kuo certainly knew that the reason for Li Mu's hesitation was simply the issue of intelligence, and Zhao Kuo obviously had a countermeasure for this problem.
Seeing Zhao Kuo's unconcerned look, Li Mu immediately expressed his hesitation: "The general has some suggestions and worries.
Suggestion: If such a war plan is carried out this year, it may be able to defeat the attack of the barbarians this year, and the barbarians will not attack again next year. This is a waste of time. If we don't wait until next year when the troops are sufficient, we may be able to defeat them one by one, thus completely solving the chronic problem of Daibei Hu people.
For those who are worried, although the fighter planes are good, it may not be easy for our army to accurately know the movements of various tribes of the Hu people.
General, you should know that in our country in the Central Plains, we have mountains, rivers and water for reference, so it is not easy to get lost in it. But the grassland is not like that. It is a vast expanse. Although the scenery is the same for ten miles, if you are not familiar with the grassland, you will easily lose your way once you step into it.
Once you lose your direction, it will not only be difficult to pursue the enemy, but you will also be more likely to be trapped alive on the grassland.
This is also the reason why before the Changping War, although our army was capable of defeating the Hu, it was unable to destroy the Hu.
In addition, our army has been huddled in the city for several years and is no longer familiar with the various grassland departments. If we want to get accurate information, I am afraid..."
Zhao Kuo nodded slightly when he heard this.
Then he said: "If I have such thoughts, my hard work is not in vain.
However, there are two reasons why it is necessary to take the initiative with this fighter jet this year.
First, our army has insufficient strength. If we do not take the initiative to attack, we will be worried about being attacked by the barbarians. Even if we achieve more results next year, I am not willing to sacrifice the lives of the people in exchange for the chance of victory next year; as for the second, at this time But it is not convenient for me to tell you. It is not that I don’t believe you, but I am also worried about the future. I will wait and see again in ten days.
More importantly, in the battle next year, I am not afraid of them concentrating their forces, but I am afraid that they will divide their forces and attack. It should be noted that the general's intention is to completely annihilate the main force of the Hu people and completely eliminate the troubles caused by the Hu people in Daidai.
This proactive attack is also paving the way for the concentration of Hu people next year. "
Hearing this, Li Mu nodded slightly. Indeed, if you want to completely eliminate the Hu people, the best way is to gather them together, and if you want them to gather, the best way is to beat them until they are afraid to act alone.
"I would like to be taught." Li Mu then saluted Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo nodded and continued: "As for your worries, they are justified."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuo did not elaborate further, but clapped his hands lightly.
Lu Buwei, who had been waiting in the back hall for a long time, finally made his appearance, and in the future, Zhao Kuo's number one civil and military figure finally completed his first historic meeting in this unknown small town in ancient times, and was about to Reached the first civil and military cooperation under Zhao Kuo.
Of course, the two men obviously didn't know the historical significance of this meeting.
"Let me introduce you to the general. This is my military advisor, Lu Shi Buwei." Zhao Kuo introduced Li Mu with a smile.
"Buwei has met General Li." Lu Buwei took the lead and bowed to Li Mu.
Lu Buwei knew very well that the general spent as much thought on General Li as he did on himself.
If you say that you may be the chief of the ministers under General Zhao Kuo, then the person in front of you is the chief of the military generals that Zhao Kuo highly recommends. Even veteran generals such as Lian Po and Tian Dan are temporarily ranked first because of their seniority.
In these troubled times, the importance of military generals obviously overshadowed that of his civil servant. Well, at least that's what Lu Buwei thinks for the time being.
Therefore, Lu Buwei saluted first, which can be regarded as respect for General Li Mu!
However, Lu Buwei's actions shocked Li Mu. Listening to the title of General, this is the military advisor of the General. It can be said that he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How can he, a mere captain, receive such a gift?
Upon seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "General, I have seen the military advisor."
"Okay, okay, both of you are my right-hand man. If you want to cooperate sincerely in the future, there is no need to be so polite." Zhao Kuo pulled the two of them to sit down and said.
After hearing this, the two of them were polite again, and then they both sat down.
Zhao Kuo then looked at Lu Buwei and said, "Didn't the military advisor have a gift for General Li?"
Lu Buwei smiled slightly, then took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to Li Mu with both hands: "General, please take a look at this gift. Are you satisfied?"
Naturally, Li Mu immediately took the silk book with both hands and unfolded it while the two of them were smiling.
The silk book is not too big, and it is only about the size of two palms when unfolded. There is no text on the silk book, just curves that look like heavenly craftsmanship. Li Mu was shocked when he saw it!
"This, could this be..." Li Mu looked at the silk book in his hand with a horrified expression, in disbelief.
Lu Buwei on the side nodded and said: "General, there is no need to doubt that this is the grassland path map that I spent a lot of money to exchange for from the merchants. Of course, this is only the part close to Daidi, and my caravan has personally inspected it. , and have made targeted additions and modifications to the region. What does the general think?"
"Those who have this picture can increase their chances of winning by 20%!" Li Mu immediately expressed his stance.
Then Li Muyou looked at Lu Buwei and said: "Sir, you can actually use your businessman's skills to detect horses. It is really a magical method! Please accept my respects from the end of the general."
"Hey!" Lu Buwei immediately stood up and stopped Li Mu, saying, "This is all the advice of the general! General, please don't worship the wrong god!"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "The general has indeed left no trace of his plans!"
Of course, Zhao Kuo was also praised a little by the two of them. After all, he was praised by Li Mu, one of the four generals of the Warring States Period. If it were you, you would be too!
Of course, as you drift away, you can’t forget about business.
"Come on, come on, sit down and talk." Zhao Kuo immediately helped Li Mu up and persuaded him to sit down again.
"Although this map is hard to come by, it is just a dead map." Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu and said seriously: "Although it can prevent our army from getting lost in the grassland, we still want to complete the attack. We need to investigate carefully."
Then Zhao Kuo gave detailed instructions: "There should be some time before the Hu people go south, and this is also the best time for us to attack. When sending out exploration horses, firstly, we must familiarize ourselves with the topography of this area as soon as possible; secondly, We need to select several areas that are conducive to an ambush; third, we need to leave manpower behind to detect the barbarians' advance at any time. Only in this way can we find the best time and place to attack."
"Don't worry, General. After the General returns to the city, he will immediately lead a team to investigate." Li Mu nodded, clenched the silk book in his hand, and immediately agreed.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuo did not agree to Li Mu, but laughed together with Lu Buwei on the side.
"General Li, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Macheng to lead the team." Lu Buwei said with a smile.
"Ah?" Li Mu was still a little confused. He was not allowed to lead the team, so why did he give him this silk book?
Just when Li Mu was still a little confused, Zhao Kuo had already stood up, took out a token from the koan, and said slowly: "Li Mu, follow the order."
"The general is here." After hearing this, Li Mu immediately stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed slightly.
"Hereby is Li Mu, the captain of Macheng, who is well versed in military strategy and can serve as an effective general for all generals. He has been promoted to be the assistant general of the army. He has command of 20,000 local cavalry and 5,000 elite soldiers of the upper party, who will accompany the general on his left and right." Then, Zhao Kuo handed the token in his hand to Li Mu: "In addition, the three thousand personal guards commanded by General Sun Gu and the three thousand cavalry commanded by General Zhou Qi are also under your control!"
Li Mu looked at the token in front of him and then at Zhao Kuo, his heart beating faster and faster...
