When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 664: Li Mu has versus . The advantage is on my side!

The term "battle of wealth" is not an exaggeration for Li Mu.

When Li Mu first entered Dai, he could only retreat inside the pass and strictly guard the pass when fighting against the Xiongnu and other grassland wolf tribes at Yanmen Pass. It was only after years of development that he was able to temporarily gather an army of 150,000. This was also thanks to the fact that the people of the three counties of Dai had abundant martial virtues, and they were able to display considerable combat effectiveness even without much training.

But even in the decisive battle in the later period, it was 150,000 troops against a coalition force of more than 400,000 composed of the Xiongnu, Qianlan, Linhu and other tribes.

But now it is 400,000 against 600,000.

Among them, 250,000 are world-famous elite troops, and there are also 8,000 Iron Eagle Warriors.

The remaining more than 100,000 Qin troops were all veterans who had experienced many bloody battles during Qin's eastward expansion.

That is to say, the quality of soldiers has improved too much in recent years, which has led to the improvement of recruitment standards for various elite forces. Otherwise, with the individual qualities of these veterans, the Iron Eagle Warriors might not be able to enter, but both the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army have hope of entering. If worst comes to worst, there is still the most reliable Dragon and Tiger Cavalry as a backup.

At least Li Mu felt that the Zhao Bianqi, who were trained by him in the past, would be very jealous of these veteran soldiers and would want to hold them in their hands and coax them.

But the more this happened, the more Li Mu felt the power of Qin.

After thoroughly analyzing the Qin army's military strength, Li Mu, a master of defensive counterattacks, believed that the best tactic was naturally to "fight to the death"!
"Four hundred thousand versus six hundred thousand, the advantage is on my side!"

Li Mu's words also aroused the echo of many young and strong generals in the army. They clasped their fists and stepped out, asking Zhang Ji to let them go out of Yanmen Pass for a fight.

But Zhang Ji shook his head, which made the officers in the tent who supported going out of the city for a field battle look a little dim and disappointed, and they wanted to say something but stopped themselves. But in the end, no one dared to raise any objections in the big tent.

As the most senior general among the active officers of the Qin army, Yang Duanhe could not help but recall his time under the command of Wu'an Jun. No matter how much Wang Xi, Meng Ao, and Bie Gong argued with him, once Wu'an Jun confirmed the final plan, no one dared to refute it. In an instant, they turned from four tigers into four dogs wagging their tails.

At that moment, at this moment.

Perhaps the only person who could suppress this group of arrogant and powerful generals was Zhang Ji, apart from the King of Qin.

He can't do it, Meng Wu can't do it, and even Wang Jian can't do it.

Even though Wang Jian and Zhang Ji had similar military achievements and status, they were ultimately generals of the Mesozoic era.

These young and vigorous generals would respect Wang Jian, but they would not be so obedient.

On the contrary, as the leader of the young and strong faction, Zhang Ji can naturally suppress this group of arrogant and powerful young soldiers and generals. What's more, which of these people is not Zhang Ji's old subordinates?
Even people like Tu Sui and Ren Xiong, who already had some military merits, were just small-time figures in the Qin army at first. If they had not been transferred to the Yulin Army by Zhang Ji and were branded as Qin King's confidants, how could they have stood out?

Their reputation as famous generals was also earned by fighting under Zhang Ji.

Regardless of whether they remembered the old friendship or were afraid of the pressure from their old leader Zhang Ji, in the officialdom, when the old leader had not done anything excessive or made any obvious mistakes, they openly went against their old leader who had once promoted them. Even the Longxi Li family behind Li Xin and Meng Ao and Meng Wu behind Meng Tian could not save their official careers.

In official circles, some rules of the game cannot be broken. Otherwise, today Zhang Ji's interests will be lost, and tomorrow it may be the interests of all officials who have disciples and former officials who are at stake.

However, Zhang Ji shook his head not because he disagreed with going out of the city to fight in the field. He shook his head just because he was a little disappointed with Li Xin and others.

For a general, it is enough to analyze the combat strength of the two armies and then make a decision whether to go into battle.

Being a general not only requires looking at everything on the battlefield, but also at the political level.

However, perhaps he did things too thoroughly every time, so that Li Xin and others lacked these experiences.

Just like after Zhuge Liang passed away, no one could take over his mission of the Northern Expedition. Jiang Wei was indeed an excellent successor in terms of military affairs, but he was too naive in politics.

He did not have the same trust in Liu Chan as Zhuge Liang, nor did he have the support of the Yuancong faction and the Jingzhou faction. He offended the local faction in Yizhou headed by Zhang Yi and others, and also made enemies with Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan. He also openly wrote a letter requesting the execution of Huang Hao, Liu Chan's favorite. He made enemies on all sides. How could he inherit Zhuge Liang's legacy?
The disappointment flashed across Zhang Ji's face, but it was still keenly caught by many people. But before they could think about it, Zhang Ji took out several command arrows.

"Order, Yang Duanhe, the chief of the four carriages, will be the commander of Yanmen Pass, and Meng Wu, the deputy commander, will lead 100,000 black iron armored troops to guard Yanmen Pass. No one can lose it!"

"Follow the order!"

Yang Duanhe and Meng Wu stepped out respectively, took over the command arrows, and responded with fists clasped.

They were not surprised by this mission, as these two veterans were the ones who provided support for the army.

Old guys like them who pursue caution and calmness are not suitable for working deep in the grassland.

What's more, chasing after Saibei is not something that these old guys can sustain with their physical strength and health.

"Order, the left minister Yang Qiu will be the right chief secretary, and the official Xiao He will be the left chief secretary, to coordinate the dispatch of military supplies and ensure the logistics of the army."

"I will obey the orders of the Lord!"

"Order, Li Xin as the commander of the right army, Qiang Wei as the deputy commander of the right army, Bai Yifei as the deputy commander of the right army, go out of Yanmen Pass and take the rafts!"

"Order, Meng Tian will be the commander of the left army, Feng Wuze will be the deputy commander of the left army, Cao Shen will be the deputy commander of the left army, and we will leave Beidi County and capture Wusun!"

"Order, Wang Ben as the commander of the upper army, Yang Wengzi as the deputy commander of the upper army, Zhou Bo as the lieutenant commander of the upper army, go to Shangjun and test the fighting power of the Xiongnu!"

"Order, Tu Sui as the commander of the lower army, Ren Xiao as the deputy commander of the lower army, Wu Chen as the lieutenant commander of the lower army, leave Longxi County and capture Sha Qiang!"

"Order, Su Jiao will be the commander of the Yu army, She Jian will be the deputy commander of the Yu army, Xiahou Ying will be the deputy commander of the Yu army, leave Yunzhong County and wipe out the Donghu vanguard!"

"I will command the central army, and General Teng will be the deputy general, stationed at Yanmen Pass."

As soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, before the generals responded, he added: "You don't need to ask for instructions before the battle, you can make the decision yourself!"

"The last general takes command!"

After the generals each took their command arrows, the entire army began to move.

The logistics cooks began to prepare dry food. The main generals, deputy generals and lieutenant generals of each army gathered together. After getting to know each other a little, they summoned their respective staffs to discuss military strategies.

The main generals and deputy generals of each army were basically familiar comrades, or even old friends who often worked together. He was not too familiar with the minor generals, but they were not strangers either. After all, they were Zhang Ji's new retainers, and he still had some interactions with them on a daily basis.

Therefore, there was no objection to having them incorporated into their own army.

After all, they are all stamped with the mark of Zhang Ji's lineage. The former officials and the current retainers are one and the same.

Moreover, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying and Wu Chen were all good at using troops, especially the first three. With these three around, the Qin State did not have to worry about having no successors.
