Outside the city of Julu.

Li Mu waited for a month, but he didn't wait for the grain and grass from the land, and his army was already in an unstable situation at this time.

Li Mu faced the attack of the Qi army, in the absence of grain and grass, stalemate for a month, if the grain and grass still did not appear in front of him, he killed the soldiers to satisfy their hunger.

But now that a month has passed, Li Mu has killed a lot of war horses, and now the war horses can no longer be killed, if they continue to kill, there will be no horses in the army, and in the face of the Qi army, there is no cavalry combat power.

At this time, in the camp of Zhao State, Li Mu's generals discussed with Li Mu how to fight next.

Li Mu sat in the position of the main general, listening to the highest-ranking general in the army, the quarrel between you and me is a little big.

I don't know how long they quarreled, they all stopped to look at Li Mu, waiting for Li Mu's decision, Li Mu is the commander in the army, no matter what decision they discuss, Li Mu doesn't make a decision here, they can't implement it at all.

"Our food and grass may not wait!" Li Mu said lightly.

And everyone was shocked, they felt that the grain and grass might encounter weather conditions, so they had not arrived here so far, but Li Mu didn't think so.

Moreover, Li Mu's intelligence officer also told Li Mu that it was unlikely that this grain and grass would reach this giant deer city safely.

After Qi Jie defeated Zhao Sheng, he entered the land of Zhao, so as to sweep south, and among the cities that swept away, there were cities that supplied grain and grass to Li Mu.

Li Mu can be sure that the city that supplied them with grain and grass has been taken by Qi Jie, and it won't be long before Qi Jie will come to Julu City to engage in a siege battle with Sun Wu, and when the time comes, he will be annihilated on all fronts.

A general stood up and looked at Li Mu and said, "General, why do you say this? ”

"Qi Jie has entered the Zhao Land and gone south, what army in the Zhao Land can fight Qi Jie?"

"Qi Jie is in Zhao Di, it is bound to be a sweeping trend, no one can resist the pace of Qi Rectification's march, and the place that supplies us with grain and grass must be the key target of Qi Correction!"

"And the long-distance places with grain storage, if you want to transport it here, you will inevitably encounter Qi Jiao's interception, so our grain and grass may not be able to wait!" Li Mu looked at the soldiers and said.

Li Mu knew that saying this matter would inevitably shake the hearts of the army, but the soldiers would definitely know about this matter with the changes of time.

Instead of knowing it at that time, it is better to know now, and when it comes to fighting in the future, there is still a psychological preparation.

At this time, a general looked at Li Mu: "General, do we still want to continue to kill war horses?" ”

Li Mu was silent for a long time and said: "The war horse can't be killed, otherwise we will have no cavalry troops, and in the face of Qi State, without cavalry, our chances of victory will be even smaller!" ”

And at this time, a general stood up and said: "General, we don't have anything to eat, what are we talking about fighting?" ”

"The most basic thing in this war is to have a full stomach, if you can't eat enough and go to the battlefield, then you have the strength to kill the enemy?"

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will go to the battlefield, not to kill the enemy bravely, but to wait for the enemy to harvest us!" The general looked at Li Mu and said, he thought that he needed to kill the war horses to feed the soldiers, only when he was full of food, could he have the strength to kill the enemy on the battlefield, if he couldn't eat, then what to fight?

Everyone is hungry, on the battlefield, and has no strength in their bodies, if they fight with the energetic soldiers of the Qi State?

Li Mu didn't refute what the general said, because what the general said was not without a trace of truth, what kind of battle did he talk about if he couldn't eat enough?

That is the energetic Qi army, and on his side is the hungry Zhao army, the two sides are at war, this fight, the result can be said to be obvious.

At this time, a general looked at Li Mu and said: "General, we can't afford to drag it out, if we drag it out like this, the soldiers will inevitably mutiny, and when the time comes, we will all be finished!" ”

Li Mu looked at the general and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"General, we don't have much food and grass, of course we have to fight quickly, if we can end the war quickly and we break through Julu City, then everything will turn around!"

"If we continue to consume here, we have no hope of victory, and all that awaits us is death and defeat!" The general looked at Li Mu and said.

Li Mu also recognized the words of this general, and he also thought so, there was no food and grass to supply them in the rear, so they had to end the battle quickly.

The longer the stalemate, the more unfavorable it will be for them, so he must end the battle quickly, and the best way to end the battle is to have a decisive battle.

Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "I was going to wait for the arrival of grain and grass, and I was consuming, fighting, and fighting a decisive battle with the Qi army!" ”

"But we don't have this opportunity at all, the grain and grass haven't arrived for a month, and the war horses have killed a lot, we can't afford to wait!"

"If it is in half a month, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny in our army!" Li Mu looked at everyone and said.

"At that time, we will not have the slightest chance of victory!" Li Mu looked at everyone and said.

Everyone lowered their heads, Li Mu was silent for a while, and then stood up: "So I'm ready to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army, this time we will put down our defense and turn to attack!" ”

"Fight a decisive battle with the Qi State with an offensive, so as to grasp the initiative of the Qi State!"

Then Li Mu pointed to a direction on the map and said, "The Qi army has placed some grain and grass at this estuary!" ”

"Our first attack is the estuary, after retaking the estuary, we can still use the river to contact Handan and let it transport grain and grass for us!" Li Mu looked at the generals and said.

Although Qi Jie swept Zhao in the south, Qi Jie did not attack Handan, because marching into Handan did not have the slightest interest for the Qi army, but just took a capital city of Zhao.

Moreover, now that the Qin State is sending reinforcements to the Zhao State, if it infiltrates the core position of the Zhao State, Qi Jiao will face the Qin army and fight with the Qin army here.

And Qi Jie did not intend to fight with the Qin army in the field, but wanted to sweep the marginal towns of Zhao Di, intercept the grain and grass given to Julu, and at the same time, set up a defensive line to prevent the Qin reinforcements in the west from supporting Wang Qian.

If Li Mu breaks through the estuary, he can break through this interception of Qi Jiao, and Qi Jie's interception can only be intercepted on land, but the estuary is not easy to intercept.

There are many major rivers, and it is impossible for Qi Jiao to send many troops, waiting for grain and grass for Li Mu on the edge of many rivers.

What Qi Jie really has to face is the Qin army that wants to support Wang Qian, and he can't let the Qin army have a connecting channel, what he has to do is to encourage Wang Jian outside the sand dune city, so that the Qi army can surround Wang Jian inside and outside.
