My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 888: That's a motherfucker! Are you a mad dog? Vegetables are the original sin? The victory of King Yan!

Even though King Xi of Yan had already prepared himself to be humiliated, he was still furious at Li Mu's blunt accusation and immediately retorted: "Although Dai Wu'an Jun has made outstanding military achievements, the coalition of Dai, Yan and Qi cannot be decided by Dai Wu'an Jun alone!"

"Dai Wu'an Jun thinks I don't know how to fight? When I led hundreds of thousands of troops to go to war, Dai Wu'an Jun still led hundreds of thousands of troops to confront the Hu bandits!"

"I think Dai Wu'an Jun's strategy is inappropriate. Dai Wu'an Jun should explain the reasons and convince me."

"Otherwise, the Yan army will refuse to obey Dai Wu'an Jun's orders!"

Ever since Prince Xi of Yan ascended the throne, no one has dared to be so disrespectful in front of him for more than twenty years!

King Xi of Yan could not tolerate Li Mu's arrogant temper.

King Xi of Yan could not accept Li Mu's definition of him as "unskilled in military strategy", otherwise it would be difficult for him to fight for the command even as the King of Yan. This was something King Xi of Yan could not accept!

Li Mu finally looked Yan Wangxi in the eye and asked calmly, "When the King of Yan led hundreds of thousands of troops to the battle, I was indeed still fighting the Xiongnu."

"Yes, at that time, I killed more than 100,000 Xiongnu bandits. Did the King of Yan win at that time?"

King Xi of Yan had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Victory?

Well~~~Thanks to General Qu's international reputation and diplomatic ability, the State of Yan was lucky enough not to be destroyed in that battle.

Li Mu did not wait for King Xi of Yan's answer, nor did he want to wait for King Xi's answer, and continued to ask: "In the twelfth year of King Xi of Yan, I led the Zhao army to attack Yan and captured Wusui and Fangcheng of Yan. Why didn't the King of Yan personally take charge and expel me?"

I do want to.

But I know that I don’t have that ability!

King Xi of Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I know Dai Wu'an Jun's bravery very well, and I know Dai Wu'an Jun's military strategy is better than mine."

"But I am not a king who does not know military affairs. I think the military strategy for this battle is inappropriate. On behalf of Wu'an Jun, you should..."

Before King Xi of Yan could finish, Li Mu rudely interrupted him and said, "Since King Yan understands that my military strategy is better than yours, you should obey my orders!"

"After all, the King of Yan is a great king who has commanded an army. He should know that issuing orders through two gates is a taboo in the army!"

"There is no ambiguity or compromise in the military, only life and death, victory and defeat."

"There is no bargaining or negotiation in military strategy. There is only right and wrong, true and false!"

"If the King of Yan thinks that my general is not doing a good job, he can make a suggestion. I will listen carefully."

"But I will not necessarily accept the King of Yan's advice, and there is no need to explain my military strategy to the King of Yan!"

King Xi of Yan could not tolerate Li Mu's arrogance and one-man rule.

Little did he know that Li Mu could not tolerate Yan Wangxi's little thoughts!
The army is not like the court. There are not so many discussions and negotiations, not so many dinners, and no so-called art of compromise.

In the army, the capable are promoted, the mediocre are demoted, the strong survive, and the weak die!

The military is a one-man show!
Li Mu's Battle to Destroy Chanlan, Han Xin's Battle of Jingxing, Xiang Yu's Battle of Pengcheng and many other battles, even if later generations could look down on all the arrangements of the warring parties, it would be difficult to understand how they dared to make such crazy decisions at that moment.

It’s just like it’s difficult for ordinary students to understand the thoughts of the god of study.

Even if famous generals explained their overall considerations clearly, ordinary generals might not be able to understand their thoughts.

Therefore, Li Mu had no time, energy, responsibility or interest to convince all the generals in the army, including King Xi of Yan.

All he needs is obedience!
Li Mu looked at King Yan with serious eyes and said happily: "If King Yan cannot accept my order, I will never accept the order of my defeated general."

"My king has already issued a royal decree."

"Our Great Dynasty does not have to form an alliance with Yan. We can also form an alliance with Qin and swallow up Yan's land together!"

"Whether you are an enemy or a friend, it is up to the King of Yan to decide!"

King Yan was delighted: "That's a bitch! Are you a mad dog?"
I am only trying to gain some command power for myself and some protection for the Yan army. Why would you abandon the alliance and start a war?

Faced with Li Mu's tough attitude that would not tolerate rejection, Yan Wangxi could only pretend to laugh heartily and said, "Hahaha~ I was just testing you!"

"Dai Wu'an Jun was defeated repeatedly by Qin. I am worried that Dai Wu'an Jun has lost his fighting spirit, so I am testing him with words."

"Dai Wu'an Jun is still as confident and vigorous as before, and I feel at ease!"

Li Mu sneered in his heart, but he finally gave Yan Wangxi some face and said, "Dai, Yan, and Qi all trust me. I will not let the three countries down!"

"In this battle, I will do my best and return victorious!"

King Yan laughed out loud and said, "Good! Very good!"

Then King Xi of Yan quickly skipped the topic and returned to the main topic, saying, "Which army does Dai Wu'an Jun intend to send to attack Yicheng, and which army does he intend to send to attack Linle?" Li Mu also turned his eyes back to Kunyutu and said, "According to the investigation of our military scouts, the Qin camp guarding Dukang is located in Linle, and its commander is Qin General Yang Duanhe."

"It has been half a month since our army attacked Zhuocheng."

"But Qin Yang Wengzi only sent soldiers from the surrounding counties to rush to the aid of Zhuocheng. Not only did he not send troops from Linle Camp to rush to the aid of Zhuo County, but he also sent 10,000 soldiers to each of the three cities surrounding the Yishui Great Wall, namely Yicheng, Rongcheng, and Fenmen."

"I think that Yang Wengzi may have already prepared to abandon Zhuo, Fangcheng, Anci and other territories on the northern side of Dukang, and instead intend to concentrate his forces to guard the southern side of Dukang, especially the Yishui Great Wall!"

Having said that, Li Mu couldn't help but look at King Xi of Yan.

If it weren't for King Xi of Yan's insistence on opening up the Du Kang area, Li Mu would have already taken advantage of Yang Duanhe's unpreparedness to break through the Yishui Great Wall, and would not have given Yang Duanhe the opportunity to send troops to reinforce the Yishui Great Wall!
King Xi of Yan turned his head towards Qi Pao.

After Qi Pao reported in a low voice, King Yan nodded in agreement and said, "The results of the investigation by Dai Wu'an Jun's troops are exactly the same as those of our troops."

Li Mu suppressed his dissatisfaction and continued, "In this battle, I will lead 150,000 elite soldiers of the Great Dai, and the King of Yan will lead 350,000 soldiers of the Yan State. The Yan army is much stronger than the Dai army!"

"Therefore, I intend to personally lead the elite troops of the Great Dai to attack Yicheng, so as to quickly break through the Yishui Great Wall while the Qin army is unprepared, and complete the combination with the Qi army."

“Please ask the King of Yan to lead the Yan army to the south of Linle. Once Linle sends troops to rescue Yicheng, immediately intercept and kill the Qin army’s reinforcements, or even annihilate the Qin army in Linle!”

Li Mu pointed the stick in his hand at Linle's position, looked directly at the King of Yan and said happily: "Although the Qin army is large, they will definitely be scattered and tired when they rush to help, and Linle's military strength is far inferior to that of the Yan army."

“If the King of Yan can completely annihilate the main force of the Qin army’s Linle camp in one battle here, then before Qin Chang’an Jun leads the main force of the Qin army to arrive, the northeast of Qin will be almost defenseless for our army. Our army will be able to sweep a large amount of Qin territory in an instant, and even have the hope of taking all the old lands of Zhao and Wei in one battle!”

"Even if the battle ends here, it has already been a great victory!"

The cake that Li Mu drew smelled delicious, but King Xi of Yan frowned slightly.

It turned out to be just as I expected!
Li Mu wanted to lead the Dai army to attack Yicheng, which had only more than 10,000 Qin troops, but let the Yan army attack Linle, which had 50,000 Qin troops and was commanded by Yang Duanhe himself?

This is clearly letting the Yan army undertake the most difficult tasks and suffer the heaviest sacrifices, while letting the Dai army undertake the simplest tasks and enjoy the most lucrative results!
I am at the front line, yet Li Mu dares to do this.

If I were not at the front line, I don’t know how Li Mu would have wasted my young and strong men!

King Xi of Yan said sincerely: "The Yan army is much stronger than the Dai army, but the Dai army is much stronger than the Yan army!"

"Ashamed to say that."

"Don't look at me, Lord Wu'an, who is leading 350,000 troops. Even 350,000 Yan troops cannot defeat 50,000 Qin troops."

"I think it would be better if the Dai Wu'an Jun led the Dai army to attack Linle, and I led the Yan army to attack Yicheng. What do you think?"

Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "When our army moves south and our target is exposed, the number of Qin troops in Linle Camp may decrease sharply, while the number of defenders in Yicheng will increase. The King of Yan really doesn't need to be afraid before the battle."

"If the King of Yan chooses to attack Yicheng, he will be more likely to encounter a powerful enemy!"

Li Mu's words were not groundless, and King Xi of Yan could not help but fall into deep thought.

Linle is located in the core area of ​​Du Kang, which is the most convenient location for providing support to various important places in Du Kang. It was also the place where the border troops of Yan State were once stationed.

The Du Kang area is not only the throat of the road from the east to the north, but also a vital strategic location. It is the necessary baggage transportation line for the Yan army to move south, and it is also a treasure land that Ying Chengjiao is determined to get!

If Yang Duanhe was a general of the State of Yan, he would never dare to transfer the garrison here and relax the defense of Du Kang.

So no matter how Yang Duanhe arranges his troops, Linle’s military strength is definitely higher than Yicheng’s!
After careful consideration, King Xi of Yan said firmly: "I am not seeking preferential treatment, but I just think that Yicheng will be more conducive to the deployment of our Great Yan army!"

Li Mu frowned and said, "Whether we can quickly capture Yicheng and then the Yishui Great Wall is related to the joint efforts of our army and the Qi army."

"Is the King of Yan confident that he can capture Yicheng and the Yishui Great Wall within twenty days?"

"In about two weeks, Qin Chang'an Jun will arrive. If the King of Yan cannot capture Yicheng and Yishui Great Wall within two weeks, then the plan of joining forces will be over!"

King Yan said proudly: "It won't take more than two weeks. Within half a month, I will capture Yicheng and break through the Yishui Great Wall!"

The garrison of Yicheng numbered no more than 10,000 soldiers.

Even if the defenders of Rongcheng and Fenmen came to support Yicheng, the number of defenders of Yicheng was only more than 30,000.

I know that the Qin army is brave, but I have 350,000 soldiers under my command, more than ten times the number of soldiers defending Yicheng!

With a strong attack without sparing any sacrifice, it wouldn't be difficult to capture Yicheng in just half a month!

Li Mu looked at King Yan for a few breaths, and finally said in a deep voice: "Since King Yan is determined to attack Yicheng, I believe that King Yan must have sufficient confidence and will succeed!"

"In this case, we will follow the King of Yan's words. The King of Yan will lead the Yan army to attack Yicheng and the Yishui Great Wall, and I will lead the Dai army to attack Linle and intercept the Linle defenders!"

Li Mu bowed to King Yan and said in a deep voice: "May our army win the battle!"

King Yan was delighted with a smile from the bottom of his heart, and returned the greeting by bowing his hands: "May our army win the battle!"
