Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

In terms of Li Mu's character, being free doesn't mean that he has to do nothing. On the contrary, Zhao Guobei's strategy envoy took it for granted that he once again picked up his strategy of "flying with both wings" for the Hexi Corridor. plan.

Under such circumstances, Li Mu and Yi Qusheng could be said to hit it off.

So Li Mu immediately rushed to Yiqu City, ready to discuss with Yiqu Sheng how to conquer the Hexi Corridor.

But just after Li Mu arrived in Yiqu City, another news came at the same time.

Obviously, Yi Qusheng and Li Mu are not the only ones who want to do something while Zhao's main force is busy fighting in the Central Plains. Get rid of the Yiqu country and regain this piece of land that has not long been independent.

As a result, Yiqu Sheng's original plan to continue to attack Hexi had to be aborted. The young Yiqu country had to use all its energy to deal with this attack from the Qin people. Life and death.

If the people of Qin could destroy the Yiqu country once, it would be possible to destroy the Yiqu country a second time. This is beyond doubt.

Judging by Yiqu Sheng's current strength, his Yiqu country is obviously far from being an opponent of the behemoth Qin.

Yi Qusheng himself knew this well, so he put the treasure on Li Mu as a matter of course.

For Li Mu's talent, Yi Qusheng can be said to be well aware of it without doubting it.

To a certain extent, the Yiqu country can develop to the point where it is today, and Li Mu's influence is actually still very large.

If it wasn't for Li Mu's repeated trips to the south to defeat Qin, Qin would not have been forced to recognize the independence of Yiqu country. It may not be possible to go back and forth on the prairie last year, ignoring the two major tribes of Wusun and Xiongnu.

What's more, behind Li Mu, there is a superpower Zhao Guo that is so powerful that it makes the whole world tremble!

After seeing the scene where everyone, including the king of Qin, saluted Zhao Dan respectfully, Yi Qusheng deeply understood that as long as he hugged Zhao Guo's thigh tightly, no country would be hurt. He lost himself and the country of Yiqu!

However, to Yi Qusheng's disappointment, when he proposed to Li Mu that he hoped to get assistance from Zhao's cavalry, Li Mu rejected it very cleanly.

"Qin is now an ally of Zhao. Before I get the king's tiger charm, I can't mobilize troops and horses to fight against Qin."

After a pause, Li Mu continued: "However, I have already sent an urgent courier to Handan, and I should be able to get a reply in about ten days at most. Don't worry, Your Majesty will not agree to my sending troops Go south to rescue Yiqu country."

Yiqu Sheng opened his mouth wide, and was stunned for a long time. After a long time, he couldn't help shouting: "What did you say? You said that your king Zhao Guo would definitely not send troops to rescue the king and Yiqu country. ?”

Li Mu glanced at Yi Qusheng with the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children, and then said: "That's natural, do you still need me to tell you? At least for now, Zhao Guo has no reason or excuse to turn against Qin Guo."

Because of this, under Li Mu's suggestion, Yiqu City had to choose a strategic retreat.

For such a result, Yiqu Sheng is undoubtedly very heartbroken.

But fortunately, Li Mu is also a very comforting guy, so he continued to say to Yiqu Sheng: "Don't worry, although from the paper strength, your Yiqu country is completely a bunch of scum, and you want to defeat Qin has no chance at all. But as long as I am here, at least in this battle, the people of Qin should not take too much advantage."

Yiqucheng smiled all over his face, and responded a few times, then suddenly felt something was wrong.

By the way, what Li Mu said is not at all boasting about the victory of Yiqu and the country of Yiqu, right? ?

But what Li Mu said was not wrong, that is, at this moment, Yiqu Sheng really had no choice but to put the fate of himself and the entire Yiqu country on Li Mu.

Therefore, Yi Qusheng couldn't help but said to Li Mu: "The move is almost done now, so what should we do next?"

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth.

"It's time for Qin to taste the power of guerrilla warfare."

Chapter 755 Guerrilla Warfare (third update)

"Guerrilla warfare?" Yi Qusheng subconsciously opened his eyes wide.

This is the second time Yiqusheng has heard this term from Li Mu.

So soon, Yi Qusheng's eyes lit up quickly, and he said to Li Mu: "Are you going to use the same tactics that defeated the Qin people last time?"

A smile appeared on Li Mu's face, and he said to Yiqu Sheng in front of him: "After years of research and experience, I can say with certainty that guerrilla warfare is definitely the best weapon that the weak can use when facing the strong. One of the tactics. This tactic can not only damage the morale of the enemy, but also maximize the survival rate of the weak side. At the same time, it can also make the enemy dare not relax their vigilance anytime and anywhere, causing everyone to panic."

"Okay, alright, alright, alright, my General Li Mu, stop talking." Yi Qusheng interrupted Li Mu with a headache, and then said to Li Mu: "Since this is the case, then From now on, all the soldiers and horses of the Yiqu Kingdom will be handed over to you to command, General Li Mu."

However, Li Mu's answer was completely beyond Yiqusheng's expectations: "No, I am a general of Zhao State. How can I easily participate in other countries' wars without my king's order? Knowing that I am actually in command of the army of the Yiqu country, that would be a big trouble."

Li Mu paused deliberately, and then said to Yiqu Sheng meaningfully: "Actually, this war does not need my command, and you and other Yiqu people will fight well."

"Really?" Judging from Yiqu Sheng's tone, he obviously didn't have much confidence in himself and the country he ruled.

After all, compared with the little Yiqu, Qin Guo is really a formidable behemoth.

"Really." Li Mu replied very patiently: "Actually, the key to the problem is that you must learn to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses! Let me first ask you, how many infantry, how many chariots, and how many cavalry did the Qin army attack this time?" ?”

As the king of Yiqu Country, Yiqu City naturally still has some control over its own territory, so it is also very clear about the distribution of the Qin Army's forces that have entered the territory of Yiqu Country, so it opened its mouth and said to Li Mu: " The people of Qin have a total of [-] soldiers and horses, of which there are [-] chariots and [-] cavalry, and the rest are all infantry."

Logically speaking, although Qin's cavalry is not too many, the number of two thousand seems to be a little less.

The main reason for this situation is of course the betrayal of the Yiqu people.

You must know that the Yiqu people and the Qiang people have always been the main source of cavalry for the Qin State, so when the Yiqu people became independent, the Qin people immediately lost the largest source of cavalry, and at the same time lost the main source of supply for war horses. When facing Zhao Guo, they lost successive battles, so it is not surprising that the number of Qin cavalry has shrunk.

Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, and said: "After years of thinking, I have discovered one thing, that is, war is essentially about exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, using one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. In this way, Only then can the balance of victory be tilted to your side to the maximum extent. For your Yiqu country, this war should be maximized."

Yi Qusheng nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Li Mu: "So you mean to let me make the best use of our cavalry strengths to attack the weaknesses of the Qin people, right?"

Li Mu patted Yiqusheng on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile to Yiqusheng: "That's right, that's the truth. Regarding this war, my suggestion is to divide your cavalry into many small groups and keep harassing them along the way. The Qin people's marching route makes the Qin people never dare to take it lightly."

"At the same time, you can also send multiple cavalry to the rear of the Qin people to harass the Qin people's grain transport team. If the guard force of the grain transport team is weak, then gather a large-scale cavalry to destroy it."

Yi Qusheng couldn't help asking when he heard this: "But what if the people of Qin strengthened their escorts for the food transport team after being wiped out two or three times?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't that just disperse the strength of the Qin people?"

Yi Qusheng suddenly realized.

Li Mu continued: "Considering that the cavalry of the people of Qin is not as powerful as Yiqu's cavalry, if Wang Lu dared to send a small cavalry, he would not be able to match Ru Yiqu's cavalry. If the people of Qin sent a large group of cavalry, after all, its cavalry would not be more than 2000 at most. People, you can seize the opportunity to completely annihilate them. Once the people of Qin lose their cavalry, Wang Lu will no longer be able to threaten your cavalry."

"When you have the speed of the cavalry, no matter how powerful the Qin people's grain transport convoy is, they can only passively bear the harassment of your Yiqu cavalry. This will have a great impact on the Qin people's rear and supplies. threat."

"As long as the food supply of the people of Qin is constantly threatened by you and others, it will be impossible for them to obtain other sources of military food on this spring plateau. So as long as this kind of life lasts longer, when all the food and grass of the people of Qin are exhausted After eating, how can they continue to stay in the land of Yiqu Kingdom?"

Yi Qusheng heard that his eyes glowed with yearning, and it seemed that the situation of the Qin people leaving their land in disgrace was close at hand, so he couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, how long will it take at most before this king can take the Qin people away? How about driving them away?"

Li Mu looked at Yiqu Sheng, and thought to himself that if it was the Zhao State Frontier Cavalry Corps led by this general himself, then Qin State's army would withdraw from this land in despair within a month at most.

But Li Mu, the Yiqu cavalry led by Yiqu Sheng, is also very familiar with it. Both combat effectiveness and discipline are all scumbags. In essence, they are no different from the Huns or Wusun people. They are more like bandits than soldiers. .

This kind of Yiqu cavalry is not at the same level as Li Mu's well-disciplined, well-equipped and powerful Zhao cavalry.

So after a brief hesitation, Li Mu gave a very, very conservative answer.

"If you and your Yiqu cavalry can implement this strategy well, then the Qin people will definitely withdraw their troops before winter!"

Yiqu Sheng couldn't help opening his eyes wide when he heard this sentence, obviously dissatisfied: "It took so long for the people of Qin to retreat?"
