Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

As for Li Mu's dislike of giving himself face, Yi Qu Sheng actually didn't take it too seriously.

People on the prairie are different from people in the Central Plains. As long as you have enough wisdom and ability in the prairie, not only do you not have to salute to the king, but the king will respect you instead. For example, those wizards who are responsible for communicating with the heavens, In many cases, what you say is more effective than the king.

So Yi Qusheng spoke again: "Li Mu, is it really meaningful to advance and retreat like this?"

This is already the fourth day since Li Mu led the Zhao cavalry to retreat from Liyang City.

During these four days, Li Mu led [-] cavalrymen of Zhao State and the army of Qin State to seize Mi Zang in the Guanzhong Plain.

Relying on the superior mobility of the cavalry compared to the Qin army mainly composed of infantry, Li Mu has always kept the distance between the two sides within a day's journey, never letting the people of Qin get close, and never extending the distance too much. Far.

After chasing for three full days, Wang Yan seemed to have realized that it was impossible to catch up with Li Mu, so he gave up the chase and started camping.

After Li Mu learned that the Qin army camped to rest, he made a decision that surprised most people, including Yi Qusheng.

Li Mu actually led more than 2 cavalry and turned back again, heading in the direction of Qin's army.

"You don't really think that with just [-] cavalry, we can defeat Wang Lu's [-] army?" Yi Qusheng looked at Li Mu like he was looking at a fool.

Although Li Mu is indeed a smart person, it is understandable for smart people to be stupid occasionally, isn't it?It is impossible for someone in this world not to do a single stupid thing all his life.

Li Mu glared at Yi Qusheng unhappily, knowing that this guy is completely unwilling to give up on the Yellow River, if he doesn't tell him the reason, then he will definitely chase him to the end.

So Li Mu coughed, and said to Yi Qusheng: "The elders of the military have said that when cavalry are facing a large number of infantry, it is the most stupid way to go head-to-head, so naturally I will not do this. What I will do this time It is precisely to carry out the sixteen-character mantra of the military ancestors."

"Sixteen-character mantra?" Yi Qusheng was immediately in awe when he heard it.

Haven't you heard that this is the "truth"?

This kind of thing, which is equivalent to truth, is absolutely invaluable to any commander who wants to make a difference on the battlefield.

Yiqu Sheng rolled his Adam's apple up and down very hard, swallowed his saliva, and the obsequious smile on his face was as bright as a sunflower blooming: "Well, Li Mu, I think our relationship is still very good, look at you, don't you?" "

Li Mu snorted, and cast a slanted look at Yiqu Sheng with eyes that occupied a high IQ, then straightened his face, and said in an extremely serious tone: "Listen carefully, these sixteen-character mantras are When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy garrisons, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."

Yi Qusheng also recited these sixteen words silently several times very seriously, and only after confirming that it was absolutely impossible for him to forget, he asked Li Mu: "Which military strategist said this?"

Li Mu remembered the book and secret letter from Handan, and shook his head very seriously at Yi Qusheng: "It's unspeakable."

"Bu Keyan?" Yi Qusheng frowned, but couldn't remember the name of that mighty man.

And why does the name Bu Keyan sound like a barbarian?

But Yi Qusheng immediately threw away these strange thoughts in his heart. It doesn't matter whether he is from the Central Plains or a Hu, as long as he is a military strategist, he is right!

Yi Qusheng pondered in his heart for a while, and suddenly realized: "So what you did in the past few days was the enemy advancing and the enemy retreating, but now what you plan to do is"

Li Mu interjected: "Of course what we have to do now is to harass the enemy and us."

"Will it become a fight when the enemy is tired?"

"Exactly. In the end, the enemy retreated and I chased after him."

Yi Qusheng patted his thigh: "It makes sense, it really makes sense. But Li Mu, I'm serious, don't be angry, are these sixteen-character mantras really useful?"

Li Mu snorted heavily, and for the first time showed genuine anger on his face: "You bastard, you actually doubt the words of the military strategist?"

Yi Qusheng laughed a few times, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

Li Mu shook his head: "Dead wood cannot be carved!"

In the past few years, Li Mu's command art can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, from a fairly qualified cavalry officer before to now the world-recognized No.1 cavalry general.

Although Li Mu's own talent and intelligent mind are very important points, there is also one point that must be mentioned, that is, the three art of war sent by Zhao Dan from the palace city of Handan.

Needless to say, Sun Tzu's two articles on the Art of War, as a generation of art of war masters, these two articles on the Art of War can be said to have an immediate effect on the improvement of Li Mu's command level.

But in addition to this, there is another article called Modern Art of War that is also very important.

In this modern chapter, many things that Li Mu has never heard of are recorded.

For example, "Stride forward, stride back."

Another example is "a large-scale and deep penetration, gathering superior forces to wipe out the enemy all the way."

For example, the sixteen-character mantra that Li Mu told Yi Qusheng just now.

If it is the improvement of command ability, then Sun Tzu's two articles on the Art of War are undoubtedly the most important.But when it comes to the inspiration of Li Mu's command art, this modern art of war is unique.

To use a vivid analogy, Li Mu's skills were rapidly raised to the peak in the two articles of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he touched the shackles of a certain realm.

The modern art of war has greatly inspired Li Mu who was in shackles, allowing Li Mu to make great strides forward, completely breaking through the shackles, and realizing something brand new and unique to Li Mu himself.

After breaking through this layer of shackles, Li Mu thought that in the whole world, in terms of commanding, no one was his opponent.

Not even world-famous generals like Bai Qi and Lian Po!

But as a soldier, as a leading general who shoulders the heavy responsibility and hope of the king, pure bragging is obviously not what Li Mu wants to do.

What Li Mu has to do now is actually very simple, that is to fully display his talents, and let the entire Chinese world know this

I, Li Mu, am invincible under heaven!

"Bang!" In Qin Jun's handsome tent, Wang Yan slapped the table hard with his palm, with an angry expression on his face: "This Li Mu went and returned? It's crazy! Okay, I want to meet this Li Mu for a while, and see how capable this Li Mu is!"

In front of Wang Yan, dozens of Qin generals stood in line.

Wang Yan stood up and said in a deep voice to the Qin generals: "Everyone, I know that you may not be convinced of me, but the appointment of me was announced by the king. Now Lord Wu An leads the army to fight in the front , there is only an army like ours in Guanzhong, and we are the hope of all the people in Guanzhong. So if anyone dares to obey the law, then don't blame our military law for dealing with it!"

"Here!" The incomparably neat words resounded through the entire tent.

"Very good." Wang Yan looked at the generals of the Qin army in front of him with great satisfaction, nodded and said, "In this case, let us order our troops and set off to fight this Li Mu well, so that the Zhao people will also Know how powerful the old Qin people are!"

The Qin State camp that had been set up just a few hours ago became lively again. Countless Qin State soldiers who had rested for less than half a day set off again, heading towards the direction of Zhao Jun with arrogance and preparation. Give Li Mu and those damn Zhao people a good look.

Two hours later.

Wang Yan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, listening to the scout's report in front of him.

"General, the Zhao people seem to have discovered the movement of our army, and turned around and fled north again!"

Not only Wang Lu, but even all the Qin generals around Wang Lu were stunned.

What's the matter, didn't this Li Mu just turn his head to the south and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army?Why did you, Li Mu, get scared all of a sudden when we Qin people were just preparing to face the battle?

Wang Yan spat fiercely, glanced at the sky which was almost dusk, and said through gritted teeth: "Send the order, the whole army camps!"

The next morning.
