The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

It is not based on the number of soldiers and horses. Qin needs a victory to tell the world.

However, if Qin Guo was not given this opportunity, once time passed, the army's impetuous morale would inevitably retreat, and even Qin Wuhou would be defeated.

Then the whole country will be in great danger.

And what Li Mu has to do now is to let Su Jie have no chance.

Chapter 524 Meng Tian's strategy to lure the enemy!

ten days later.

Qu Wo, Wang Jian and Wang Ben heard that Marquis Wu was going to march, and they couldn't wait to lead thousands of troops to the city.

After the father and son came to Quwo, they thought Marquis Wu would punish the war on the front line and settle the struggle. They thought that this time, many people would be killed.

But at this time, what they saw along the way was far beyond their expectations. What they saw in the city was that Marquis Wu did not kill people, but cattle, pigs and sheep.

There was no trace of gloom on the faces of the soldiers, but the strong fighting spirit erupted slowly, intending to avenge their shame!

in the big account.

Su Jie and all the generals were discussing matters.

Su Jie and Wang Jian's father and son reunited after a long absence, so they were naturally full of joy. After reminiscing about the past, the two fell on Su Jie's side.

Su Jie looked at Wang Jian, and said: "Zhao Guo's continuous battles and victories, although our army's morale has been revived because of the military system, it is not a long-term strategy. Once the time passes, and the army's morale changes again, we will have to retreat. , Zhao Guo will also join forces with other countries, what advice does General Wang have for this?"

Su Jie talked about the key point in one word.

What Qin needs most now is a victory that breaks the morale of the Zhao army.

Wang Jian pondered for a while, and then responded: "Back to the general, the final general thinks that the current predicament lies in the fact that the cities captured by Li Mu are all important cities. Not only that, the cities can also form corners to meet each other. If you attack Pingyang, you will be rescued by Yi'an. If you attack Yi'an, you will be rescued by Chili, Feicheng? When our army attacks, the last general will see? Li Mu will definitely use defense as an attack? Waiting for work and exhausting the morale of our army. There is only one way for the current plan? That is to attack the two fortresses of Pingyang and Yi'an at the same time? Only by winning can the situation be reversed.”

After hearing this, Huan Yu and the others also had serious expressions on their faces.

Huan Yu said: "General, Pingyang and Yi'an will not go down? Once the time passes, our army will still have two dangers? One is the Jinyang Basin occupied by Li Mu, which cuts off the connection between our army and Handan? Moreover, he In Que and garrison heavy troops? With the Taihang Mountain behind? If Handan comes to rescue? Li Mu must have taken strict precautions. He only needs to ambush Handan reinforcements in the mountains, and Handan must be helpless. If Yan suddenly unites with Zhao, Handan can be easily taken back by him."

"Secondly, if our army attacks the two cities by force, let alone the strength and morale of the troops, South Korea in the south will inevitably come out suddenly and join forces with the Zhao army to attack our army. But if we must attack the two cities by force, then General believes that it must be taken by surprise and won in one fell swoop, otherwise, the situation will become even more chaotic."

In fact.

What everyone said just hit Li Mu's strategy.

This is also a conspiracy, and it is not difficult to guess.

After all, Zhao Guo now has a huge advantage in terms of military strength, allies, and morale.

On the whole, Qin really didn't occupy anything.

Even out of the 60 soldiers and horses in the country, 20 are dead now.

For the Qin State, Marquis Wu went out to conquer the city in one fell swoop, otherwise, morale would never be restored. Li Mu was also interested in this, and with the coming of deep winter, it would be even worse for the Qin State.

Su Jie said: "In other words, everyone believes that the only chance for our country to win is to take Yi'an and Pingyang by surprise."

Everyone nodded.

But it was a bit unfounded.

Su Jie looked around, looked at the expressions of the generals, and knew that they really had nothing to do with Li Mu.

If this is changed by any one person, there is no way to do it.

In history, Li Mu left Wang Jian with nothing to do. How could the name of a turtle general be in vain? If it hadn't coincided with a major earthquake in the whole country of Zhao, it would not have been so easy to conquer the country of Zhao.

Su Jie smiled, and then asked: "You said you want to attack Yi'an and Pingyang, so there is a way to lure the enemy!"

Everyone was stunned and lost in thought.

It would be impossible for them to go out of the city to fight.

Meng Tian suddenly said: "General, there is a way in the end, maybe it can lure the enemy!"

All the generals looked towards Meng Tian who was beside Su Jie.

Now Meng Tian is only 17 years old.

But it looks quite heroic, and people dare not underestimate him. It is naturally extraordinary to be able to stand beside Marquis Wu!

Su Jie smiled slightly: "It's okay to discuss matters in the army!"

Meng Tian said: "General, and all the generals, the young general thinks that now that the general is leading his troops to the front line, Zhao Jun must already know it. The above general's prestige and Li Mu's prudence, one can imagine that it is impossible for Zhao Jun to send troops to the front line. Our army is fighting at this time, regardless of victory or defeat, Li Mu will definitely consider casualties."

Everyone nodded.

Meng Tian continued: "Meng Tian heard that Li Mu was guarding Yanmen Pass more than [-] years ago when he was still a humble general, and now he is already a powerful man outside the Great Wall. The young general happened to be in the northern border with his grandfather and father, Northern Xinjiang is different from the Central Plains, that is, every time a land is conquered, checkpoints and city rents will be set up to allow merchants and common people to travel with them and pay taxes. This tax is not paid to the national treasury, but is used for military supplies.”

Everyone's expressions brightened.

Meng Tian continued: "When Meng Tian was in Xianyang, he was fortunate to listen to the teachings under the command of Marquis Wu. Marquis Wu once told the young general that one person's use of soldiers is like the principle of restraining the five elements. Everyone has their own habits. He has been outside the Great Wall since the war, and has hardly been to the Central Plains. His habit of fighting will inevitably bring this set of city rent style in northern Xinjiang to the Central Plains. After all, at least [-]% of the soldiers and horses who conquered Dongjun this time are I have followed Li Mu for more than ten years, and I will definitely not talk to Li Mu not to set a city rent, which is related to the morale of the army, but once Li Mu sets a city rent, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Huan Jue cupped his hands and said, "I also ask Captain Meng to advise, why is this market rent related to the strategy of luring the enemy?"

Meng Tian explained: "You generals have never been to the northern border, so you don't know the customs of the border. Although the border is vast, the products are poor. To put it bluntly, ordinary money is not enough at all. It is the state of Qin. After our battles, my grandfather and father will also set up city rents, and the money and taxes collected will not go into the national treasury, but will go into the pockets of the soldiers to reward the soldiers, or be used as military supplies.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

In the Central Plains, everyone cannot do this. All strategies must enter the national treasury.

But outside the Great Wall is different.

For hundreds of years, this has been an unspoken rule. If it wasn't for what Meng Tian said, everyone really wouldn't know there was such a saying.

Meng Tian went on to say: "So, the general thinks that Li Mu has now come to the Central Plains. Although Li Mu has won many battles, the spoils in the Central Plains must be handed over to the national treasury. The soldiers will not get direct benefits from the war. , the officers and men under his command have long been accustomed to the establishment of city rents and the policy of not paying taxes to the national treasury. If Li Mu refuses to comply, the morale of the army will definitely mutiny. Naturally, at such an opportunity, Li Mu can't take risks, and he will definitely focus on stabilizing the morale of the army."

"Since we have determined that Li Mu will set up a city rent, the city rent must be prospered with the support of merchants from all over the country and the support of the local people. It must be set up outside the city. Although heavily guarded, it is indeed in the city. outside the city."

Chapter 525 Su Jie and Li Mu Meet!

When everyone heard this, their expressions lit up.

Su Jie also nodded in satisfaction.

See Su Jie agrees.

Meng Tian was a little excited, and said: "The general thought that although the cities could not be defended, they would give us a gap to attack the city rents, and the required troops would not be too many. We only need to send several cavalry teams of 5000 horses. Guerrilla attacks in various parts of Dongjun prevent the city rent from being launched, and the morale of the army is bound to be in chaos."

"If Zhao's soldiers are cut off from their sources of income, and their morale is high, it is impossible for the Zhao army not to send troops to attack our army. If we attack Feicheng and Jingjing, we will surely be able to tempt Yi'an. He and Chili came to expel our army, and once the two armies move, we can wait for an ambush army to catch them by surprise, and attack Yi'an and Chili when they send troops, and take back the fortress in one fell swoop, cutting off the route for additional troops to the north."

Meng Tian's words made everyone's eyes shine.

After thinking about it carefully, I can't help but be overwhelmed!

Huan Jue exclaimed, "Father Tiger has no sons! What a great plan, what a great plan!"

Wang Jian nodded again and again, and said, "Mengshi is full of heroes!"

Meng Ao is old now, but the Meng family still has Meng Wu with outstanding military exploits. Looking at the current Meng Tian, ​​unexpectedly at this time, under the great disadvantage of Qin State, he found a countermeasure, which is still so targeted.

Let everyone see the hope of victory.

Meng Tian was a little shy at once, and said: "The last general is just because he is outside the Great Wall, so he should not be praised by the generals. If the generals have been stationed in the frontier, they will definitely be more thoughtful than Meng Tian."

Meng Tian's attitude greatly increased the favor of the crowd!

Su Jie laughed and said: "That's right, Meng Tian's plan is good, and this Marquis also thinks it is feasible. If the generals have no objections, then this Marquis will decide to use Meng Tian's plan."

Everyone expressed no objection.

Meng Tian panicked and said: "Marquis Wu, the military is a major national event, the last general has a small opinion, please consider it at the general's discretion!"

Su Jie smiled, and patted Meng Tian on the shoulder? He said: "I have no doubts about employing people? Since everyone agrees with your words, it must be your own ability? If there are really leaks? I won't blame you. You, will also check and fill in the gaps for you? In the future, if you encounter this situation again? You will know where there are deficiencies."

Everyone heard the words? They were stunned.

What does Marquis Wu mean? Could it be that what Meng Tian said is wrong?

Meng Tian panicked immediately, did he say something wrong?That's why Marquis Wu made such a reminder.

However, when everyone looked at it, they saw Su Jie smiling and staring at Meng Tian, ​​only then did they realize that this is the general teaching Meng Tian with war.

Maybe something is missing.

But Meng Tian's direction must be right.

Su Jie didn't hesitate, but looked at Huan Yu and said, "General Huan, it's been ten days since the Marquis came to Quwo? I'm afraid, Li Mu has already got the news? You go to recruit 5000 troops, and go to Pingyang with Ben Hou "Meng Tian, ​​Yang Duan and Wang Ben also went together."

The soldiers were startled.

This is?

Wang Jian hesitated to speak.

Su Jie said: "Li Mu? This Marquis is also like a thunderbolt? We have been friends for a long time, you don't need to worry about it, just garrison the city. Benhou also wants to meet this person for a while, maybe there is something to gain."

Since Su Jie said so, everyone let go of their worries.

……

Pingyang and Quwo are less than thirty miles away.

If the cavalry were walking, it wouldn't take long at all. In fact, when Su Jie led his troops out of Quwo, someone immediately discovered Li Mu who was in Pingyang.

Li Mu, the generals and Zhang Liang were also a little bit surprised.

No one can guess what Su Jie intends for this trip.

Li Mu asked, "Are you sure there are only five thousand cavalry?"

The scout said: "The final general is sure, there are only 5000 people. After these 5000 people left the city, the city gates were closed immediately, and our army spied everywhere in Quwo, and no ambush was found."

Li Mu nodded slightly. Between Quwo and Pingyang, the terrain is extremely flat, and it is difficult to hide. It is not known what the Qin army is here for.

Soon.

Immediately, someone came to report: "General, the Qin army from the city is here, saying that they want to invite the general to the city for a while!"

Everyone was shocked.

Invite Li Mu to the city?

The general persuaded: "General, you must go, there must be fraud in this trip, don't fall for it!"

"That's right, the state of Qin probably knows the situation now, and inviting the general is probably trying to do something wrong!"

Li Mu waved his hand and asked, "Who is here?"

The waiter said: "The general who will come to report is Su Jie, the general of the Qin State, with Huan Yu and a group of captains in his entourage."

"what?"

"Su Jie?"

"Wuhou Sujie!"

Li Mu frowned, thoughtfully, and said: "You let them wait outside the city, just say that Ben will come later!"

The scout immediately went out to report back.

Immediately, the whole hall persuaded one after another.

Zhang Liang suddenly said: "General, did you hear that Huan Jue is here? He is not dead!"

Following Zhang Liang's reminder, the others realized, how could this Huan Yu not be dead?

Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "I still underestimated Su Jie."

Everyone looked at Li Mu in confusion.

Li Mu said: "I originally thought that even if Su Jie went to Quwo, it would be impossible to calm down the army's morale. Huanju's death means that either King Qin or Su Jie pardoned him. The purpose is to In order to revive the morale of the army, now that Su Jie is here, why did he bring Huan Yu with him?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhang Liang asked suspiciously: "A pardon? How to pardon? Can Qin Fa be changed? Could it be that he wants to mess with Mrs. Zhao?"

Li Mu nodded and said: "Huan Jue's tired soldiers, not to mention being pardoned in Qin State, even in Zhao State, killing ten times is not enough, so why did Huan Jue come to the city without dying? He wants to tell us What? From my point of view, Su Jie must have come here to persuade him to surrender."

"Absurd, the defeated general dares to persuade you to surrender!"

One of Li Mu's generals immediately said with disdain, he has been in the frontier for a long time, so naturally he doesn't feel as deeply as the generals in the Central Plains.

Li Mu went on to say: "This general has heard about Su Jie's marching troops. How could I underestimate the fact that he was able to retreat the soldiers of the five kingdoms with his own strategy? Since he came, he must have a purpose that we cannot know. If you are blinded by it, it is better to see it and find out what it is."

All the generals nodded their heads.
