Chapter 46
Li Mu looked at the marching Zhao Jun next to the horse road and asked, "Did Lei Wanliang keep up?"
General Yin Feihong replied: "Return to General Lei, General Lei sent a message. The mission has been completed and he will arrive later. According to the message sent back by General Lei, the progress is very smooth. Please rest assured."
Li Mu nodded and praised: "That's good. If you send him a message, you just say I want him to catch up quickly."
Yin Feihong responded with a thumbs up, and said endlessly: "A general uses military force as if he is helping a god, and he has the opportunity to be unpredictable to gods and ghosts.
We were obviously going to retreat, but the general ordered General Lei to come to Jicheng, bluffing his power, building camps, and putting on a stance toward Jicheng, so as to achieve the goal of confusing Yan State.
Just as the monarch and ministers of Yan thought that our attack was just right, General Lei followed your instructions to tie up sheep and beat drums, and quietly retreated while it was dark. He thought that when Yan found out, he might have gone a few days later.
After a few moments, we have bought a lot of time for retreat. The general's plan is really clever, and it is impossible to make the humble official do not admire him."
He was right. Li Mu was obviously trying to retreat, but he showed an offensive attitude to him. At that time, the Zhao army was wielding the power of 100 victories. Anyone would believe that the Zhao army was determined to win against Jicheng and would not have thought that they would withdraw.
Li Mu did not dare to accept his praise and said, "The general has been awarded too much. This method has been used by his predecessors long ago. I, Li Mu, just used it by his predecessors. It is not my strategy. I am ashamed!"
"The general is humble and has received his humble position." Yin Feihong sighed and said, "It's a pity that he has made Yan State a free gift. The King of Qin is really hated. He would not send troops sooner or later, but he sent troops at the critical moment, forcing us to retreat.
If the Qin army was one month late, even ten days later, I would like to guarantee that Jicheng must belong to my Zhao State. Yan State will no longer exist."
Li Mu's view was different from his, saying, "In Li Mu's opinion, the King of Qin was extremely smart, and he was waiting for this opportunity."
Yin Feihong was a little puzzled and asked, "General, where did you start?"
Li Mu explained to him: "You think, the King of Qin chose this time to attack, which was extremely sinister.
If we are greedy for a moment, conquered Jicheng and destroyed Yan State, then we will definitely not be able to return to the army. In this way, General Sima Shang will be in danger. How many people can be unmoved when they are in the face of great desire? To be honest, I think it is a pity.
After weighing the trade-offs, I have to withdraw."
He was right. As long as the Zhao army captured Jicheng, the battle to destroy Yan would come to an end. The smart Qin King's ability to control the progress of the war was perfect, but it would prevent you from ending. The effort was in vain.
"The general's meaning is clear, I understand it." Yin Feihong nodded and said, "The general believes that the King of Qin is the main enemy."
Li Mu agreed: "That's right. The destruction of Yan this time was originally a trap set for us by Qin. Why don't we take this opportunity to set up a trap for the King of Qin? If Qin does not attack us.
We just took the opportunity to destroy Yan State, and Zhao State will become stronger."
This was too mysterious. Yin Feihong asked in confusion: "But the King of Qin used troops to our Zhao State. This was an attack that suddenly launched when our army entered Yan territory and the front line was lengthened and the military teacher was tired. Even if we wanted to return to the army to reinforce, we would be exhausted.
It is difficult to compete with the strong Qin. If we go to help thousands of miles, only two or three out of ten will arrive. Even if we arrive, what can we do?"
"You only know one thing, not the other. If you are not sure about resolving this crisis, I, Li Mu, dare not lead the troops north." Li Mu said confidently.
Li Mu is good at fighting. A man with a powerful and powerful man. Yin Feihong dared not doubt his words at all. He asked anxiously: "Dare you ask the general. How to crack the Qin King's move?"
"This is a military aircraft, I'm sorry that Li Mu cannot tell you in detail." Li Mu continued: "You are right. When we return to the army to reinforce, we will inevitably be in short supply, but there are many ways to reinforce, and we don't have to wait for us to arrive.
According to Li Mu's conjecture, the Qin army was in full swing, and it was inevitable that the State of Zhao would be won. If the King of Qin wanted to get whatever he wanted, he would first defeat Sima Shang.
If Sima Shang is surrounded, he can build a village and hold on to reinforcements. Sima Shang is a good general. If the King of Qin wants to eat him, he will definitely pay a high price, which will make the troops exhausted. At that time, we will wait for it. What will happen if you think it will be?"
Yin Feihong blurted out and replied: "Then you need to ask, of course, the Qin King defeated Zhao State, and the incident in Handan would repeat itself. The Qin King was the second King Zhaoxiang.
However, since the general was so sure, why did he give up attacking Jicheng when his great achievements were about to be achieved? The cattle had been peeled to its tail, and as long as he added the handle, the entire cattle would be peeled off.
We only need a battle, maybe it only takes a few days to destroy the Yan Kingdom."
Li Mu did not answer the question, "General, why ask questions knowingly?"
Yin Feihong frowned and thought for a while, and smiled and said, "Gaoming, Gao Ming, the general is such a big deal. He dares to give up Jicheng, which creates the illusion that our army is difficult to deal with, and only the general can do it! Great, amazing!"
This is how the war is. You are setting up a plan for me, and I am setting up a plan for you. Who will win will depend on who sets a clearer situation and who will be more determined to execute it. Of course, it also takes a little luck.
Li Muqian said: "As long as we defeat the Qin army, Li Mu thought that there will be no war on the Western Front within a few years, we can concentrate our troops to develop northward and destroy Yan State.
If the Yan State is destroyed, our Zhao State will be the most powerful country in the world. Even if Qin State recovers, it will not be able to do anything to our Zhao State."
His plan was realized, Qin and Zhao were evenly matched, and it was still unknown who would win. Yin Feihong was excited and praised: "The general is worthy of being the pillar of our Zhao State!"
The happy Yin Feihong did not ask Li Mu how to achieve his leisure and wait for his work. It is obvious that the army they are in their hands now cannot achieve this goal. Then there is another army, where is this army and which army will it be.
"Report to General, the bridge in front of him was demolished by the people of Yan State, and the army could not cross the river." A small school rushed over and dismounted and reported to Li Mu.
Li Mu ordered: "General Yin, hurry up immediately and build a bridge again."
Yin Feihong responded and rushed away.
Not long after he went there, another small school rushed over and reported: "Report to General Lei, General Lei sent a message, they caught up with Yan army, General Lei asked for instructions to fight or withdraw."
