Under the direction of this peerless god of war, hundreds of thousands of actors in my border counties accompanied the Xiongnu to perform a play that lasted for several years, and finally tricked them into the game and destroyed them in one fell swoop, otherwise the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua would probably be staged in China in advance...
It is said that this deception, later Emperor Wu of Han also learned (Ma Yi's plot), but unfortunately did not learn the elephant, and finally the performance was smashed, fortunately, he had the world-famous general Wei Qinghuo to go to the scene of illness, otherwise the situation would be very dangerous...
In the last year of the Warring States, a powerful nomadic tribe appeared in the northern territory of the Zhao Kingdom, that is, the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu tribe is the collection of the three Hus during the zhao wuling king period, and its terrible point is not worse than that of qiang qin, if huma is allowed to go south, not only will the zhao kingdom be in danger, but the princes of China will suffer, and then the world will be in chaos, and I am afraid that even qiang Qin will not be able to clean up. To put it more seriously, the threat of the northern nomads to the whole of China since the Spring and Autumn Period has now gathered on the head of Zhao Guo, the unjust leader.
Based on this, even in the autumn of life and death in the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, the Zhao State did not dare to easily transfer the northern army of the Zhao general Li Mu to the south, and they had to resist life and death.
Fortunately, there were also many contradictions within the Qin state, and once the princes joined forces, the Qin army retreated, and the Zhao state finally won a precious respite.
Time, now the most precious is time, Li Mu must defeat the Xiongnu in the shortest possible time, eliminate the border troubles, otherwise the Qin army will come again, the fate of the Zhao state, will be as dangerous as an egg, and the pressure will explode.
But all this, how easy to talk about, the Xiongnu iron horse, come and go without a shadow, go without a trace, often run after the fight, so that you can't even catch a hair of him, the future generations of strong men can chase into the grassland and sweep thousands of miles, Zhao Guo is a small regional country, how to have such strength.
Therefore, Li Mu must be patient, endure and endure, and endure.
Fortunately, King Xiaocheng of Zhao still had a lot of trust in him and gave him a lot of autonomy, because after all, he was the concubine of Mafujun Zhao Hao, and the good material recommended by Zhao Sheng of the Plains Jun.
On the whole, the relationship between King Zhao Xiaocheng and Li Mu is still good, and it seems that this monarch who is full of controversy in history does not seem to be as faint as we think, after all, it takes a little courage and a little knowledge to regard such a disabled soldier with a sick right arm and an unstretched right arm as the Great Wall in the north.
According to historical records, Li Mu was in the border areas at that time, and he had a lot of power, so big that he could directly appoint and dismiss local officials, and even all local taxes did not have to be handed over to the national treasury, but could be directly transferred to his shogunate and used as military expenses.
If you have money, you can do things. Li Muzhi was extremely generous and killed several cows every day for the sergeant to enjoy. This is not to mention, he also personally trained soldiers to ride horses and shoot arrows, especially the rewards of excellent results, everyone was happy, and the natural training became more and more diligent, and they were eager to rush to the battlefield immediately and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
However, Li Mu's ninjutsu was first-class, and the morale of the army was already at its peak, but he was good at it, and only ordered everyone to carefully guard the beacon tower, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the enemy's situation, and when the Xiongnu came, all the soldiers and civilians immediately packed up their things and retreated into the city to hold firm, and who dared to disobey and run out to fight in groups, and immediately cut off.
Figure: The geopolitical situation of the five northern counties of the Zhao Kingdom
For several years, Li Mudu was a turtle with shrunken heads, and as soon as he saw Huma, he lit a beacon tower, and everyone hid to watch the Xiongnu curse their wives under the city.
In this way, things could not be lost, but Li Mu's face was lost cleanly.
At first, only the Huns scolded: "Li Shepherd, the turtle also!" ”
Later, the soldiers could not stand it anymore, and they all commented, "I will be cowardly!" ”
In the end, even King Zhao Xiaocheng's patience reached the extreme, and he rebuked Li Mu and said, "Why should Qing Qing be afraid?" ”
However, Li Mu was as solid as a solid man, he only lost face, what was he afraid of, his face could be thick, and the city wall of Yanmen Pass was also inferior by a few points.
Thick skin is also a rare skill, ah, the world for the general, can do not be afraid of people's words, the plan is certain, do not move like a mountain, and how many people?
However, over time, King Xiaocheng of Zhao could not stand the pressure of public opinion, the state spent so much money to raise an army, but it was not for Li Muguang to use for training and reconnaissance, you must know that today's Zhao State needs a victory to inspire people.
As a result, King Xiaocheng of Zhao's old mistake of changing generals was committed again, and with a paper order, he removed Li Mu from his post as "general who did not resist" and sent another person to replace him.
The history books of this new general are not detailed, but he should be a fierce brother in his actions. As soon as this benevolent brother arrived, he immediately changed his course and went to war!
This benevolent brother was very wrong, dealing with the Xiongnu, it is useless to be "fierce", people come and go like the wind, much more flexible than you can, just like a wild bull encountering a spirit snake, relying on a little brute force, rushing and hitting, I am afraid that even the shadow of others cannot be touched.
The end can be imagined, the Zhao army was exhausted by the Xiongnu, several battles were unfavorable, the loss of soldiers would not be mentioned, the people on the border could not produce and live normally, and every day they were afraid that the Xiongnu would come to burn and loot again.
-----------------
King Zhao Xiaocheng also regretted it, it seems that Dai County can't do without Li Mu, thinking about it, he decided to admit his mistake and sent someone to ask Li Mu to come out of the mountain again.
However, Li Mu learned to be sick and could not get out, and it was clear that he was opening the conditions!
King Zhao smiled, what conditions do you have, but said it was okay.
Li Mu said, "The king will use his subjects, and the subjects will dare to obey orders as before." ”
What else can King Zhao say, promise! From now on, all border affairs, the secretary of state self-determination is, the widow will no longer interfere.
Li Mu was overjoyed, prayed again, and gladly went to his post.
This is another few years, Li Mu still uses the old method, the wolf comes to me to hide, the wolf walks out of me, let it be stormy, I stand still.
He was waiting, waiting for his prey to obediently take the bait, because no cunning wolf pack could fight a witty hunter.
Finally, the soldiers' fighting spirit was plucked to the peak by Li Mu, General, fight a battle, it is not a matter of hiding and eating beef every day, we want to kill the enemy, we want to make meritorious achievements! The Huns we are going to fight are called ancestors!!
Li Mu laughed, well, then as Er and others wish, the brothers copied the guys, give the Hu people a net!
So Li Mu selected 13,000 chariots, 13,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, and 100,000 crossbowmen, and secretly conducted battle drills, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Xiongnu.
Yes, the master of the move, no need to fight three hundred rounds, as strong as Li Mu, as long as you grasp the fighter, look at the death pit, one move, you can cure the enemy to death.
This is exactly what Sun Tzu called: Those who are good at war are first invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious. To cure chaos, to wait for the uproar, to wait for the near, to wait for the work, to be full of hunger. It is in line with the benefits, not in the interests of the end. Therefore, the place where the war is known, the day of the war, can be thousands of miles and the battle will also be fought.
This, as Napoleon called it, is a very rational and very careful defense, followed by a swift and bold attack.
Well, now that the people are together, the next thing is to cast the net, Li Mu Nai released the border people, the big pasture on the grassland, for a time, the wind and grass are low, the cattle and sheep are everywhere, the sky in the north of Sai is cloudy and foggy, and the cheerful pastoral song is indulgent.
The cold and lonely grassland has not been so lively for a long time, the Xiongnu wolves have been eating soil and drinking wind all these years, they have long been depressed, seeing this scene, they are like hungry ghosts who have not eaten for three days, and they have asked to kill the past to sweep up.
The head wolf of the Xiongnu was not a fool, he was careful, and first sent a reconnaissance force to test, and as a result, the Zhao army was vulnerable, collapsed at a touch, left thousands of people, and fled in a hurry.
Sun Tzu said: "He who can make the enemy come to himself is also profitable." "This is called reluctant children can't set the wolf, the bait should be enough, and the acting should be realistic."
Shan Yu heard that the greedy wolf star was in a big move, and immediately gathered a hundred thousand wolf troops, raised his division to the south, and vowed to loot the Dai County, leaving the chickens and dogs behind.
Li Mu smiled, years of silence and patience are waiting for this moment, burst out, brothers, let the Xiongnu also taste the pain of Zhao Guotie riding on the broken spine, it is time to close the net...
Sure enough, the Xiongnu wolves swept across the grassland like the wind and crashed into Li Mu's net.
What awaited them was not some cattle, sheep, treasure and flower girl, but a delicate and exquisite "Li Muqi Array".
Yes, the history books clearly state that what Li Mu laid out was a strange array, a strange array that no one in the world had ever made, and a special killing array of large-scale cavalry legions.
This strange formation is blocked from the front by a vehicle formation, using chariots to restrict, hinder and delay the movement of the enemy's horses; after the vehicle array, it is fired by 50,000 crossbowmen; and the cavalry and infantry are controlled by the rear of the army position. When the cavalry impact of the Xiongnu army was frustrated, Li Mu took advantage of the situation to transfer 100,000 infantry to launch a general attack, and at the same time, thirteen thousand cavalry were surrounded by two wings, and all the arms, coordinated seamlessly, the whole array was like a precision instrument without error, and in an instant, the Xiongnu 100,000 iron horses were clamped to death, and then hammered down and headshot.
Li Mu is not moving, and if he moves, he is thunderous, and the momentum is like ten thousand jun, putting the enemy in the state of tired eggs, and shattering as soon as he presses it.
This is exactly what Liu Bowen said: Whoever fights the enemy can pretend to be weak to lure him, the enemy will come to fight with us lightly, and if I strike him with sharp pawns, his army will be defeated. Dharma: "What can be shown is not." ”
The proud Xiongnu wolf was defeated, greatly defeated, more than 100,000 horsemen were completely destroyed, the head wolf was spared only by himself, and the strong beams that had traversed the grassland for more than ten years were overthrown, and from then on Li Mu did not dare to go near Zhao Bian again, until a few decades later, he was intimidated by 300,000 Qin troops.
Immediately afterward, Li Mu took advantage of the victory and marched forward, swept across the grassland, destroyed the raggedness, broke the Eastern Hu, lowered the forest Hu, inherited the martial spirit of Yu Lie, and made great contributions to the world, and from then on, Zhao Opened the land for thousands of miles, the border troubles were gone, the dark clouds of the northern sky were scattered, and the Zhao Kingdom, which was shaken by the wind and rain, was shot by Li Mu's strong heart, and the spirit was greatly invigorated, whether it was to rise from the dead or return to the light, in the end, the future was no longer slim.
