Chapter 915 Our Army Is Not a Pitiful Army, the Qin Army Is! It Is Not a Conspiracy, It Is an Open Conspiracy!

On the same day.

Linle, the allied camp.

More than 600,000 allied troops from Dai, Qi and Yan were stationed here.

But the whole camp seemed exceptionally quiet, and there was no atmosphere of war, but rather a sense of cowardice and sadness.

Soldiers on duty walked around numbly, and soldiers who were resting sat on the ground casually, with sadness or dead silence in their eyes.

Almost all soldiers had comrades, fellow villagers and even relatives who died in this battle.

Even those soldiers who were lucky enough not to have relatives die in this battle were full of despair for their future.

If crying was not a crime in the army, Li Mu had no doubt that the sound of crying in the allied camp would be endless at this moment!

Retracting his gaze from the soldiers, Li Mu asked in a low voice: "Has the news that Zheng Xian and other immortals were captured alive by the enemy been completely blocked?"

Tian Sheng also lowered his voice and answered: "All those who knew about this matter have been secretly sent back to the country. They will be placed under house arrest in Linzi before the end of this war and are not allowed to talk to anyone."

"According to the investigation of the observers, the Qin army did not publicize this matter."

"And the scene of the immortals leaving the army was witnessed by many soldiers. Even if the immortals did not return for a long time, the soldiers would not be suspicious."

"I think there is no need to worry about this matter spreading for the time being."

While speaking, Tian Sheng was still a little surprised.

He thought it would be difficult to block the news, but Tian Sheng never expected that the Qin army did not take any action after capturing the eight immortals alive, as if they did not capture eight immortals at all, but eight soldiers!

Tian Sheng could not understand, but Tian Sheng was very fortunate.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Once the news that Zheng Xian and other immortals were captured alive by the enemy spreads among our army, our already precarious morale will collapse again."

"General Tian, ​​please take care of this matter."

After Tian Sheng nodded in agreement, he said with emotion, "I still find it hard to believe that the immortals were captured alive by the enemy!"

"They are immortals!"

Li Mu's eyes were cold.

Now Li Mu can basically confirm that Zheng Anqi and others are a group of liars!

Li Mu only hated himself for being deceived by Zheng Anqi and others, and not killing them as a sacrifice as soon as he suspected them, which caused the coalition forces to have such a hidden danger again!

Li Mu firmly skipped the topic and said in a deep voice: "Two major defeats and the destruction of our army's morale will not be easily repaired."

"I think our army needs at least two months of rest before morale can return to normal."

"Please prepare the baggage and preparations for long-term defense in Yan and Qi, and prepare some meat to send to the front line."

Yan Wangxi frowned slightly: "After two months of rest, our army's morale can only return to normal?"

"If we want to make our army's morale reach its peak, how long will it take?"

Li Mu glanced at Yan Wangxi and said calmly and firmly: "One year."

Yan Wangxi was stunned: "One year?"

"The Art of War says, A mournful army will win!"

"Our army is now a mournful army, why can't we form a situation where a mournful army will win?"

Li Mu glanced at King Xi of Yan and said calmly: "The sorrow of a mournful army that will win is the sorrow of grief and anger, not the sorrow of cowardice."

"If the King of Yan, this general, Deputy General Tian, ​​or the highly respected people of Dai, Qi, and Yan were poisoned, ambushed, or assassinated by the Qin State, our soldiers would not have suffered serious damage. Our army should be a mournful army."

"Now our army is not a mournful army, but a cowardly army that has been defeated repeatedly."

"On the other hand, the Qin army is a mournful army that is angry and sad because the King of Qin was assassinated and the allies betrayed the alliance!"

It is not that whoever loses the war is a mournful army. The prerequisite for a mournful army is reasonable!

If the conditions of a mournful army were so easy to achieve, King Xi of Yan would have dominated the world long ago!

Yan Wangxi's eyes flashed with shame, and he turned to ask: "Persisting for a year and waiting for the right opportunity is a huge pressure on the logistics of our Great Yan."

"May I ask if Dai Wu'an Jun has a good plan to shorten the time for our soldiers to recover their morale?"

Li Mu said frankly: "I have no plan to restore our army's morale."

"By the end of this year, Dilong has not turned over in Dai, and the rumor that Qin Chang'an Jun ordered Dilong has been broken, and our soldiers are no longer afraid of Qin Chang'an Jun. The morale of our army will return to the peak, and the morale of the Qin army will fall to the bottom."

"The rise and fall of morale is not up to me, but to Qin Chang'an Jun!"

Is it possible that Dilong will obey Ying Chengjiao's orders if the rise and fall of morale is placed on him?

King Xi of Yan had even lowered his expectations for the coalition's victory. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart and said in a deep voice: "I will send a message to the court today to dispatch money, food and meat to the army."

Tian Sheng hurriedly bowed: "So will I!"

Li Mu nodded slightly and said: "Inform all the generals with more than 2,500 masters and good people in the army (2,000 people under their command)."

"In the next two months, our army's only mission is to hold on. Don't take the initiative to send troops because of the enemy's provocation or seduction!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of horse hooves exploded.

Li Mu immediately looked back and saw more than 50 scouts and messengers riding their horses straight into the military camp.

Ten feet in front of Li Mu, they all dismounted, and a group of scouts and messengers quickly ran to Li Mu, bowed and shouted: "Report to the commander!"

"Qin general Meng Tian led 30,000 troops to attack our Gandao City, please send troops to help!"

"Qin general Dong Yi led 20,000 troops to attack our Quzhou City, please send troops to help!"

"Qin general Feng Wuzhe led 40,000 troops to the north along the west side of Linle City, and is heading towards Fangcheng!"

"Qin general..."

In just one hour, the scouts and messengers brought back the movements of six Qin troops.

Considering the round-trip distance and reconnaissance range, the actual number of Qin troops would be at least twice as much!

Tian Sheng was stunned, and then a strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart: "It is true that the Qin army is brave and elite, and there is Qin Chang'an Jun as the commander."

"But the Qin army's strength is inferior to ours, and the Qin army is so crazy to attack by dividing its troops?"

"What exactly does Qin Chang'an Jun want to do?!"

For the weaker side, dividing the troops will undoubtedly aggravate this weakness.

Continuing to fight together as before is the most advantageous tactic for the Qin army.

Tian Sheng completely cannot understand why Ying Chengjiao would divide his troops so crazily!

King Xi of Yan said confidently: "There must be a conspiracy behind Qin Chang'an's move!"

However, Li Mu shook his head and sighed softly: "Qin Chang'an's move is an open conspiracy."

Looking at the Kunyu map, the movements of the Qin army emerged in his mind. Li Mu said in a complicated voice: "Although our army has not yet discovered the movements of all the Qin troops, if my guess is correct, the various Qin troops will attack all the cities and strategic locations in Du Kang respectively."

"If our army ignores it, the Qin army can gradually recapture Du Kang."

"By then, even if our main force is not defeated, our army will have to withdraw from Du Kang and retreat to Wuyang City. The baggage line of Zhongyi will also be cut off again."

"If our army If we use the main force to encircle and chase one of the Qin troops, the remaining Qin troops will pounce on our army from all directions like a pack of wolves, forming a siege on our army and starting another battle. "

"Judging from the current morale of our army, if we fight now, our army will definitely lose!"

Tian Sheng suddenly had an idea and said repeatedly: "Our army can order the defenders of the cities to be on high alert and send generals to lead the army to rush to the cities."

"Although our army's morale is low, we are only defending the city, not attacking it."

"With the solidity of the city and the large number of troops, our army may make the Qin army tired and gain an advantage!"

Li Mu nodded in agreement: "What Deputy General Tian said is the best choice to deal with this strategy."

Tian Sheng smiled immediately.

But before Tian Sheng's smile reached his eyes, he heard Li Mu's voice asking back: "Ran, where are the generals?"

"How many generals in our army can defend the city when Qin generals such as Qin general Meng Tian and Qin general Feng Wuzhe lead the Qin army to attack fiercely?"

The fledgling Zhuge Liang anticipated the enemy in advance, was wise and almost demonic, and his achievements covered the three kingdoms, and his name became the Eight Formations.

After decades of experience and growth, Zhuge Liang's style is inferior to that of the past.

Is it because Zhuge Liang has run out of talent?

Obviously not.

A very important reason is that a group of top generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao passed away one after another, and Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Fu Zhun, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Deng Tong and other middle and high-level generals and Mesozoic generals died in batches on the battlefield!

A strategic goal that can be steadily accomplished by one of the Five Tiger Generals with several good generals and thousands of troops would require several times or even dozens of times the troops for an ordinary general, and it may not be accomplished.

If the vanguard of the Shu army during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was not Ma Su, but Huang Zhong, would this Northern Expedition end in failure?

If all the Five Tiger Generals were there, with Emperor Zhaolie of Han in the rear, and Fa Zheng and Pang Tong as assistants, would Zhuge Liang's strategic planning for the next few Northern Expeditions be so constrained?

War has never been controlled by a hero, but a group of contemporary heroes fighting for their lives!

At this moment, Li Mu is like Zhuge Liang in the later period.

Even if Li Mu predicts the enemy in advance, even if Li Mu is proficient in military strategy, even if Li Mu has great talent, even if Li Mu can despise 99% of the generals in the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, what does it matter?

Zhao's generals such as Pang Nuan, Fu Di, and Qing She have all died in battle. Sima Shang, Xing Liao, Fei Li and other generals that Li Mu had trained for many years have also been mostly killed. Even Yan Ju, Zhao Cong and other generals who are good on the outside but bad on the inside have almost died. Yan and Qi combined can't bring out many generals who are worth using.

Li Mu simply doesn't have enough excellent middle and high-level generals to implement his strategy!

Li Mu's voice inevitably has a bit more bitterness: "Qin Chang'an Jun's strategy is not to attack the Du Kang area, nor is it for me."

"It's the weakness of our army that lacks good generals!"

As soon as these words came out, Tian Sheng, Zhao Jiang, Yan An and other generals lowered their heads in shame.

Li Mu saw this and felt even more bitter.

Facing the aggressiveness of the Qin generals, our generals don't even have the courage to ask for a fight!

Thinking of the invincible Su Jiao, the undefeated Yang Duanhe, the lightning-fast Li Xin, and the mysterious Peng Yue under Ying Chengjiao's command...

Li Mu was jealous!
