937. Hair cut
In the battle of the giant deer, Li Mu took out all his strength and prepared to counterattack, but finally failed.
He did not block the cavalry impact of the Qi State at all, and the Battle of Julu lasted for ten days, and both sides took out all their forces to launch a military collision ninety miles away from Julu City.
However, the Qi State had a huge army, the cavalry was strong, and the Zhao State lacked food and grass, and the Zhao army was powerless to fight in the face of the elite soldiers of the Qi State.
However, they relied on the folk customs of Zhao and their ruthlessness, so that the war that ended in three days was extended to ten days.
Li Mu was in the battle at this time, he had already been scattered, the army was defeated, Li Mu held the sword in his hand: "What face do I have to live here?" ”
Li Mu thought about defeat, but he didn't think that he would be defeated on all fronts, and after ten days of desperate fighting, he was finally suppressed by the army of Qi State.
The Zhao army was scattered, and each team fought separately, and what was waiting for them was to be strangled here by the Qi State one by one.
"The defeat in the battle of Julu is not the country of generals, but the lack of national strength of Zhao State!" The adjutant general on the side comforted Li Mu.
"If the war depends on national strength to win the war, then what do you need excellent generals to do?" Li Mu looked at the deputy general and asked rhetorically.
"All this is the reason why I despise Sun Ba, this battle is my own, if I don't despise Sun Ba, how can our army fall into such a situation?"
Li Mu sat by the river, and a group of generals on the side, Li Mu looked at everyone and said: "After this battle, I don't want to live, if you still want to continue to join the army, continue to join the army, if you want to quit, this is also an opportunity!" ”
"General, do you want to kill yourself here?" A general looked at Li Mu and asked.
Li Mu looked at the many generals and said: "I have made it my mistake in this battle, I am still alive in the world, how can I face this battle of the giant deer, and the soldiers of the Zhao State who died in the battle?" ”
"General, Zhao State can't live without you, Zhao State still needs you for its future rejuvenation, if you die, who else can Zhao State rely on?" The lieutenant general looked at Li Mu and said.
"General Lian Po, he has died on the battlefield, Zhao is already old, how many years can he hold on?"
"If Zhao Sheng takes power and controls the court in the future, who can compete with him? Only the general! The generals on the side looked at Li Mu and said.
Li Mu was silent for a long time, for the current Zhao State, it is true that Zhao Guo has no famous generals, if he Li Mu kills himself here, Zhao State will fall into a situation of lack of talents.
It's not that he Li Mu boasts, in today's Zhao State, only he can shoulder the responsibility of the Zhao State Military Department, if he dies, who can shoulder the responsibility of the Zhao State Military Department?
Zhao Cheng? Zhao Cheng is also the prime minister, so how much energy does he have? Zhao Sheng? I'm afraid that seeking personal gain is more than seeking public affairs, and the future power of Zhao State can be handed over to him, and there must be one person to limit it.
And in today's Zhao Kingdom, only Zhao Cheng can restrict Zhao Sheng, but Zhao Cheng's age is also quite high, although it is now the prime of life, but once people work hard, it is easy to have a short life.
It can be said that he is the pillar of Zhao State, Zhao State cannot live without him, hearing the persuasion of his generals, Li Mu knows that he can't die, this is not the time for him to die.
Li Mu threw his battle helmet on the ground, and then cut off his hair: "Cutting your hair is like cutting your head, this is my atonement for the soldiers who died in Julu!" ”
"The rest of the sins, when my Li Mu's life ends, will be returned to you!" After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked at the generals on the side and said, "Everyone, evacuate here!" ”
The generals nodded one after another and began to leave Julu, the battle of Julu has been defeated on all fronts, and the Qi army will inevitably start a counterattack.
The camp of the Qi army at this time.
"The general's war has all been under the control of our army, and now it is the harvest of the war!" The general on the side looked at Sun Wu and said.
Sun Wu nodded, and then asked, "Has Li Muke found it?" ”
"No, but the last general will definitely do his best to search for Li Mu and capture Li Mu alive!" The general looked at Sun Wu and said.
"Li Mu must be caught, he is the commander of the Zhao army, only if he is caught, the Zhao army will be defeated on all fronts!" Sun Wu looked at everyone and said.
"If you can't catch the living, it's okay to die!" Sun Wu looked at the generals on the side and said.
And at this time, Sun Ba walked forward: "General, give it to me, let me command a hundred horsemen to capture Li Mu!" ”
Sun Wu waved his hand: "We don't even know where Li Mu's location is, how can we capture it?" ”
"But now that the battlefield has been fully mastered by our army, Li Mu can't make any waves at present, what I'm worried about is that we have entered Zhao Di, Li Mu is preventing field guerrillas, I'm afraid it will create a lot of trouble for our army!" Sun Wu looked at Sun Ba and said.
"So we are bound to capture Li Mu, so that after our army enters Zhaodi, there will be no strong resistance!" Sun Wu looked at Sun Ba and said.
"General, according to what I know, if Li Mu is defeated on all fronts, even if he retreats to Zhaodi City, there will be no troops to stop us!" The general on the side looked at Sun Wu and said.
"This is not true, there are garrison troops of Zhao Di in the city of Zhaodi, if Li Mu mobilizes these troops to launch a surprise attack and guerrilla attack on us, what should we do?"
"Zhao Di is the land of the plains, this kind of thing is easy to do with cavalry!"
"If Li Mu relies on the momentum of the plains and holds back our main force with the remaining Zhao Di garrison, then what is the point of what we are fighting in this battle of giant deer?" Sun Wu looked at the general and asked.
The great victory in the Battle of Julu was that Li Mu's army was unable to contain Sun Wu, and Sun Wu could mobilize the army to go south, support the sand dunes, carry out military strikes on Wang Jian and cooperate with Wu Zixu and Kuang Zhang.
If the Battle of Julu is won and Li Mu's army is wiped out, but Li Mu leads the remnants to mobilize the garrison troops of Zhao Dichengchi to fight against Sun Wu's Qi army and greatly contain the Qi army, then the significance of Sun Wu's victory in the Battle of Julu is to be greatly reduced.
Sun Wu looked at the general and said, "This Li Mu is bound to be captured alive, so that our victory can be even more expanded!" ”
"The task of training Li Mu will be handed over to you, the general!" Sun Wu patted the general on the shoulder and said.
The general looked at Sun Wu, then clenched his fists and said, "The last general, you will definitely not live up to the general's expectations, and you are bound to complete the task!" ”
Sun Wu nodded: "This is very good, if the general can capture Li Mu alive, it will be a great achievement!" ”
Then the general nodded, then turned to leave, and Sun Wu looked at Sun Ba: "These days are suffocating, right?" ”
Since Sun Ba killed the thousand horses, Sun Wu did not let Sun Ba go to the battlefield, but let him rest well.
Sun Ba nodded and said, "I've rested for so long, my body wants to be paralyzed, and I can't wait to move my body now!" ”
