Chapter 902: The King of Yan Became the only Savior! In War, It Is Not Bad to Sow Discord!

It turned out that Li Mu's order was unnecessary.

Only half an hour later, dozens of knights came galloping on horseback.

Without Li Mu's further orders, Li Mu's family soldiers had already rushed out on horseback, leading the knights straight into the central army.

"Report to the left prime minister!" A general of the Qi army bowed from a distance, and when he approached Li Mu, he said solemnly: "Qin Duwei Meng Tian led 50,000 Qin troops to attack our Pingshu!"

"According to the reconnaissance of our Pingshu City scouts, we found that another Qin army bypassed Pingshu City and continued to march south. Its specific strength is unknown, but it is at least more than 30,000!!"

"Please send troops to support us, left prime minister!"

Even though Li Mu had already said that the Qin army would attack the Qi baggage line, Tian Sheng was still shocked and asked hurriedly: "Where are the baggage and food?"

"Can Pingshu City guarantee that the baggage line will not be lost?"

The general shook his head and said bitterly: "The baggage that was originally scheduled to arrive in our city five days ago was still missing until I set off!"

Raoan→Fuyang→Zhongyi→Pingshu is the current baggage line of the Qi army.

Not to mention that the east side of this line is the sea, the west side is full of swamps, difficult to walk, and there is no cockcrow or cooking smoke within a radius of dozens of miles.

Even if Qi really bypasses the swamp area from the west, it must face the Qin Hejian City, 150 miles west of Fuyang City!

It is no exaggeration to say that this baggage line is the only land transportation route for Qi to transport grain and grass to Du Kang!

But now, this baggage line has been cut off!

If Qi wants to transport grain and grass to Du Kang again, it can only transport it through the sea route east of this baggage line.

But in this era, the danger, uncontrollability and speed of sea transportation are far inferior to inland transportation. Daily commercial transportation is still possible, but it is impossible to support a baggage line alone!

Tian Sheng's face turned pale in an instant: "If so, where should our army's more than one million strong troops eat?!"

If it were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they would be able to get food in this rich Du Kang.

But the coalition army has more than one million soldiers and horses!

Including soldiers and civilians, the coalition army needs to consume 110,000 shi of millet every day, and the consumption of hay has reached a terrifying 370,000 shi!

This is just the normal daily consumption without rewards and incentives and in a non-combat state.

Even if the autumn harvest has just passed and the granaries in each city are overflowing, even if the Dukang area is quite rich, it can't support such a terrifying appetite!

Tian Sheng knows very well that without a steady supply from the rear, the grain reserves in the Dukang area and the grain reserves in the army can only support the consumption of this army for more than two months at most.

Once the coalition army's food and grass run out, this army will collapse without a fight!

Looking at Tian Sheng's panic, Li Mu frowned slightly and scolded in a deep voice: "You are the deputy general of the Qi army, how can you be so panicked!"

"Collect your mind!"

"Calm down!"

"If you dare to disrupt the morale of our army, I will cut off your head and sacrifice it to the flag!"

Tian Sheng was immediately shocked.

Although he was the prince of Qi, the prince of Yan had just died not long ago, so Tian Sheng did not think that the prince's status could be a golden ticket to avoid death.

Tian Sheng hurriedly bowed his hands: "The baggage of Qi and Dai was cut off. I lost my composure for a moment. I hope the commander will forgive me!"

Li Mu said in a deep voice: "The baggage lines of the two countries were all cut off. It was a heavy blow to our army, but it was not a big disaster."

"Now our army has completely taken the Dukang area. This place is a smooth road connecting our army and Yan."

"The Qin army can block Wuyang, Jingruan, Pingshu and other places, but it has no troops to cut off the entire Dukang area!"

Li Mu turned his head and looked at the King of Yan and said: "The baggage and food of our Great Dai can be borrowed from Yan and transported to our army from Dukang."

"Please ask Yan to temporarily supply the Qi army with baggage and food, and ask the King of Qi to send boats along the coast The coastline goes north, and the baggage and food are transported into the territory of Yan State. After replenishing the consumption of Yan State, they are also transported to our army from Du Kang. "

"Then the Qin army's plan to cut off our baggage can be solved immediately!"

Tian Sheng's eyes, which were originally almost desperate, lit up again, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Please ask King Yan to help our army!"

Yan Wangxi's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and then a strong sense of satisfaction surged, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and said: "When I asked Dai Wu'an Jun to help my Great Yan break through Du Kang, Dai Wu'an Jun repeatedly refused."

"I never thought that this Du Kang area would become the top priority to save our army!"

Li Mu immediately wanted to refute Yan Wangxi.

If Yan Wangxi had not insisted on breaking through Zhuo County first, the coalition forces might have taken the Yishui Great Wall now!

If the Yishui Great Wall was in hand, Dai State could supply food and grass to the coalition forces along the Lexu line, and there was no need to go through Du Kang at all!

But before Li Mu could speak, Mao Sui, who knew Li Mu's character well, quickly grabbed Li Mu's arm and shook his head solemnly.

Li Mu tightly grasped the reins, his face was ashen, but he still swallowed the words of rebuttal.

Seeing this, King Xi of Yan smiled even brighter, and said with a righteous face: "Since Du Kang is the only baggage line for our army, I will not be stingy."

"The baggage of the Dai and Qi armies can pass through our Great Yan and be transported to our army from Du Kang!"

Tian Sheng thanked him and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, King Yan!"

"But..." King Xi of Yan suddenly changed the subject and said: "If we want to transport enough food and grass for our army, at least hundreds of thousands of civilians will be needed."

"This matter involves the victory or defeat of our army, and we should think about it quickly, quickly and steadily."

"I will discuss it with my Yan ministers tonight."

"I will trouble Wu Anjun to take care of the matter of defeating the enemy!"

King Xi of Yan pulled the reins and turned away with unprecedented elegance and heroism.

After bowing to Li Mu, Qi Pao, Yan Badger and other generals also quickly led their soldiers to catch up with King Yan.

Soon, all the Yan troops set up camp on the spot, and they were about to bury pots, make rice, and then go to bed after eating!

Li Mu finally couldn't help being dissatisfied and shouted angrily: "The Yan army is also one of the coalition forces, and the three countries of Dai, Qi and Yan are allies in the war with Qin!"

"If our Dai and Qi armies collapse due to lack of food, how can Yan State be able to survive alone?"

"I was going to use Yan State's way to transport grain and grass, but the King of Yan used this to avoid war?"

"mouse……"

Before Li Mu could finish speaking, Mao Sui quickly covered Li Mu's mouth.

Li Mu stared angrily, and Mao Sui quickly whispered: "Wu An, calm down! Calm down!"

"The Kingdom of Yan is my eldest ally, and King Yan is even more of a king!"

"As the commander-in-chief of the acting army and the left prime minister of the Qi army, Mr. Wu An must not speak ill of the King of Yan, causing the allies to become alienated!"

Mao Sui had no doubt that Li Mu, who could point at Queen Zhao and scold a prostitute, could also point at Yan Wangxi's nose and scold a rat!

But if Li Mu really cursed, King Yan Xi would definitely hate Li Mu to death.

Schrödinger's allies will also be completely transformed into a sharp blade against the backs of the Dai and Qi armies!

Li Mu pushed Mao Sui's hand away and said with a gloomy face: "I will naturally be able to distinguish between the important and the important."

Mao Sui agreed with his face, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.

If you could really distinguish the important from the important, would it be Zhao's turn to get Fu Ding to become the general?

I have promoted you to the rank of general a long time ago!

Li Mu could not tell Mao Sui's thoughts at all. He turned his eyes to Xiban Valley and sighed softly: "The Yan army is avoiding the battle. The Qi army needs to familiarize itself with military strategy. The Dai army is exhausted."

"Although there is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy now, our army can only sit back and watch it!"

"Pass this general's order!"

"Every unit retreats three miles and sets up camp!"

Although he clearly had the largest military strength, but it was useless at the critical moment, Tian Sheng felt guilty and took the initiative to admonish: "Prime Minister Zuo, our army is far stronger than the Qin army. With the commander in charge, we will be able to fight without fear of the enemy." military."

"The last general advises me to lead 200,000 Qi troops south to Pingshu City to recapture our army's food routes!"

"The general will also report to my king and ask him to temporarily bear the army's supplies of food and grass to alleviate the difficulties of the left prime minister!"

Li Mu was immediately moved.

King Yan used Dai and Qi Liangcao's borrowing money as a bargaining chip, but Li Mu didn't want Dai and Qi Liangcao's borrowing money to go to Yan State even more.

With the credibility of the Yan State, God knows how thickly the grain and grass shipped by Dai and Qi through the Yan State will be scraped off by the Yan State, and they may even be detained in the Yan State by the King of Yan!

But after taking a look at Tian Sheng, Li Mu shook his head: "Qin General Meng Tian is the grandson of Qin General Ao and the son of General Wu. Although he first entered the battlefield not long ago, he also repeatedly defeated Qin Changan. enemy."

"If you lead 200,000 troops there, the whole army may be annihilated in the end!"

Tian Sheng couldn't hold himself any longer.

I personally lead an army of 200,000, but I can't defeat the 50,000 army led by Meng Tian?

But when I think about it more carefully, it seems that, indeed, I can’t beat him!

Li Mu pondered and spoke slowly: "Of course, it is indeed indispensable to open up the Pingshu line and the baggage line."

Li Mu also wanted to recapture the Pingshu front line, and Li Mu also had enough troops to support him in dividing his troops to recapture the Pingshu front line.

But when it was his turn to call the general, Li Mu was hesitant to make a decision.

After dozens of breaths, Li Mu finally looked at his deputy general and asked in a deep voice: "I will allocate 5,000 Dai troops and 150,000 Qi troops to you."

"Can you help Ping Shucheng expel General Qin's military department?"

Ma Fudui solemnly handed over his hands: "The last general will live up to the commander's trust!"

Li Mu nodded lightly: "Good!"

"You go and choose your troops."

"After the Qi army has memorized the military regulations, they will go to war immediately!"

——

at the same time.

The top of Xibanyu Mountain.

Ying Chengyu looked down at the Yan army who took the lead in setting up camp, and smiled softly: "It seems that Captain Li and Captain Meng have finally leaked the news."

"Now that I think about it, King Yan already knows that Yan State is the only way for the coalition forces to obtain supplies and food."

Ge Ping was eager to try: "Commander, I will ask you to lead your troops and horses to Zhuoxian County to intercept the Yan army's baggage and completely cut off the supplies of the coalition forces!"

Ying Chengyu was speechless and shook his head: "Even if our army cuts off the coalition's supplies, the coalition can still hold on for at least a month or two."

"Within a month or two, there are millions of troops, and Lord Dai Wu'an is personally in command. It would be hard to imagine what kind of fighting power the coalition forces will unleash!"

The trapped beast still fights!

Not to mention Li Mu!

And it’s Li Mu who has more than a million troops!

It really made Li Mu anxious. God knows what kind of tricks Li Mu could do with this army of more than one million people!

It's a pity that no one at the scene except Ying Chengyu could realize the terror of Li Mu.

Ge Ping said regretfully: "I thought our army could completely trap the enemy in the Dukang area, and then encircle and annihilate them!"

Ying Chengyu said calmly: "Give up such delusions."

"Dai Wu'anjun's biggest enemy in this battle is not our army, but the Yan and Qi armies!"

"The biggest constraint for Lord Dai Wu'an in this battle is not our army, but Dai's army!"

Ying Chengyu did not prove his ambition in the slightest by defeating Li Mu on the frontal battlefield.

Let's fight, stir up dissension, don't be shabby.
