845. Li Mu's strategy
"With our own, of course, we can't afford to consume it with Zhao He, but if we have the support of the Qi State, I'm afraid the other party can't afford to consume us!" Li Mu looked at Tian Buli and said.
"There is another reason for this, and that is to see if Qi Guo really intends to support the king, rather than verbal support!" Li Mu looked at Tian Buli and said.
Li Mu didn't believe in Qi State, after all, Qi State's credibility was there, especially his Zhao State and Wei State, Qi State had breached contract with these two countries several times, and Qi State had already lost any credibility in front of these two countries.
"If the Qi State only supports it verbally, we can lead the water to the east, after all, the Qi State has entered the Dai Land, we can introduce the enemy army to the Qi army and let it fight against it!"
"If you are willing to support us, we will use the grain and grass of the Qi country to cooperate with the soldiers of the Qi country to fight against the Zhao army together. Li Mu looked at Tian Buli and Zhao Zhang and said.
If it was only Zhao Zhang's family background, Li Mu would definitely not make this suggestion, after all, Zhao Zhang's family background would last for half a year at most, and it would collapse, and fighting a war of attrition was undoubtedly suicidal, and it was not as reliable as Tian Buli's surprise attack.
But at this time, the Qi army was among them, and Li Mu didn't think there was any need to take such a big risk to fight this raid battle.
After winning the battle, Zhao Zhang's army will suffer heavy losses, and after defeating Zhao Sheng, he will also face Zhao He and the Qin army, if the Qi army is unwilling to help at this time, then where should Zhao Zhang go, wouldn't he only be left to fend for himself?
"What's more, Zhao Sheng is not a soft persimmon, you will definitely be able to beat him!"
Of course, if it was he, Li Mu, who commanded the army to attack Zhao Sheng, he Li Mu thought that he was sure to defeat Zhao Sheng, but the question was that after defeating Zhao Sheng, how to face Zhao He and the Qin army?
Of course, Tian Buli proposed to have the help of the Qi army, and when facing Zhao He and the Qin army, the Qi State attacked in a big way, how could Zhao He and the Qin army resist?
But Li Mu thought that this was Tian Buli's wishful thinking, and did not include anything else.
Li Mu believes that in war, accidents must be calculated at all times, after all, wars will happen at any time, and this kind of accident can often turn defeat into victory.
Looking at the wars of ancient and modern times in the world, there are not many unexpected defeats that turn into victories, such as a heavy rain, which causes a flood and makes it impossible for your army to advance half a step.
In the historical records, there is also a war that was decided by accident, when the lord of the Zhou Empire was only 30,000 people, and the princes he faced were united with millions of armored soldiers, a war with absolute disparity.
Anyone thought that the alliance of princes would win this war, but no one thought that a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed into the alliance of princes, and millions of armor collapsed instantly, and more than 30,000 armies defeated millions of armorers.
And that emperor also became the lord of Zhongxing, allowing the majesty of the empire to linger for a while.
Therefore, Li Mu believes that it is necessary to always budget for accidents, and what is most likely to happen must be budgeted in three.
And in this battle, Li Mu believes that the Qi army will not help, that is, the most likely accident will happen, once the Qi army does not help, even if they defeat Zhao Sheng, I am afraid that in the face of Zhao He and the Qi army, it will be a one-sided defeat.
Because your army is all consumed here by Zhao Sheng, when facing other people's group armies, it is already unequal, not to mention, even if you are in your heyday, facing others, it is not equal.
Of course, the best plan, after defeating Zhao Sheng, the loss was very small, and he turned his head to meet Qin Jun and Zhao He, but there was a huge disparity in strength, and under no circumstances, the two sides confronted each other, and Li Mu thought that it was difficult for him to win.
Although the reason why a famous general is a famous general is to reverse the disadvantage and turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and Li Mu also has this self-confidence, but the Qi army is still an unstable factor.
What if the Qi army watched from the wall and fought fiercely with it again, what if he was stabbed in the back?
This kind of thing, the princes of the Central Plains may not be ashamed, but Li Mu thinks that Qi Xiaobai may not be able to do this kind of thing.
Lian Po looked at Li Mu: "I said Li Mu, where is the agreement, Qi will definitely help us!" ”
"General Lian Po, ask yourself in your heart, will Qi really help us?" Li Mu looked directly at Lian Po with both eyes.
Lian Po's face turned red, he lowered his head, for Qi State, Lian Po also had no good impression, he fought with Qi State back then, and his prestige fell from then on.
Of course, he still agreed with Li Mu's words in his heart, Qi Guo was not credible, but Tian Buli looked at the two: "Now we don't trust Qi Guo, is there any other way?" ”
"Now the only one who can help us is Qi Guo!" Tian Buli looked at the two and said.
"So the last general offered the tactical strategy just now, Qi Guo Gang, we fight, Qi Guo does not help, disaster will lead to the east!" Li Mu looked at everyone and said.
"How to lead to the east of the trouble?" Zhao Zhang looked at Li Mu and asked.
"Defeat Zhao He, withdraw to the Qi State station, and lead the Qi State to fight!" Li Mu looked at everyone and said.
Tian Buli looked at Zhao Zhang and said, "If we really do this, even if we win the war, I'm afraid that Qi Guo's favorability towards us will decline!" ”
"Slip, slide, what's there to fear? Originally, the Qi State was going to help my king, Zhao He and the Qin army, and we brought them to them, and we just let them travel as promised! Li Mu looked at Tian Buli and said,
"General Li, have you ever thought about the defeat of the Qi army, so that the Qi army will think that the combat strength of our king's army is? After the war is over, the Qi Kingdom thinks that our Zhao State is weak and may encroach on our land! Tian Buli looked at Li Mu and said.
After Zhao Zhang heard Tian Buli's words, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Tian Xiang is right, Tian Xiang offered this plan in order to make the Qi State dare not underestimate us, and after the war, he is still afraid of us!" ”
"If you really do what the general said, after the war, the Qi State will think that our Zhao State is weak, so it will keep encroaching on my Zhao State, how can my Zhao State not be destroyed?" Zhao Zhang looked at Li Mu and said.
"If the Qi Kingdom dares to fight in the future, I, Li Mu, am willing to take command and fight!" Li Mu looked at Zhao Zhang and said.
And Zhao Zhang shook his head and said: "I understand the general's thoughts, but the general has ever thought that Qi is the overlord of the world, and he once swept the world, so the general is a victorious general, but that is also in the case of soldiers and food!" ”
"My Zhao country's grain and grass reserves are not as good as Qi country, although my Zhao country's military strength is not weaker than Qi country, but if we fight for a long time, our Zhao country will be defeated!" Zhao Zhang looked at Li Mu and said.
Zhao Zhang knew that the battle between the countries was not only the battle of the generals of the two sides, but also the battle of the comprehensive forces of the two sides.
And Zhao Zhang just hoped that Qi would be jealous of Zhao, and Zhao would be a vassal to Qi, keep peace, work hard, and realize the rise of Zhao.
