Chapter 37
"Yu'er, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into building this camp, which is good." Li Mu smiled and said, "For generals, you can pay attention to every detail. Only this is the only point. If you are a teacher in the future, you won't have to worry about you anymore."
Li Mu looked extremely satisfied. Although he had only taught Jiang Yan for only three years, Jiang Yan was very fast to receive knowledge. In terms of leading troops to fight, Li Mu no longer needed to teach Jiang Yan anything except experience.
Where can I get the experience of leading troops to fight wars that is easier to obtain than going to the battlefield in person?
"Master, do you want to see the soldiers in my camp?" Jiang Feng was a little proud.
"Okay, my teacher is about to go and see."
In addition to the soldiers on duty who guard the barracks on a daily basis and the soldiers sent out to patrol, the six thousand soldiers in the battalion are currently training on the school grounds.
In order to welcome the battle of Yan next year, the entire battalion, from Jiang Yu, entered a state of preparation, and trained extremely hard every day.
In addition, the army had a rich meal, and the soldiers all became strong and powerful.
Li Mu only took a look and saw that these soldiers were all strong men from the North. Not to mention how they practiced formation weapons, they were already well-known in their momentum and marching formations, and they were even no less than the elite soldiers under Li Mu.
You know, the elite soldiers under Li Mu were formed by gathering the most powerful soldiers among his tens of thousands of troops, and each of them was an elite soldiers of a hundred battles.
Except for not seeing blood, these soldiers of Jiang Yan are not inferior to Li Mu's elite soldiers in other places.
"You can achieve such results in less than three months. You, I really did not misunderstand you."
"Originally, you were still a little worried about your army with General Pang Xian to attack Yan this time. But now it seems that you have such a strong soldier, and you should be fine if you come here." Li Mu laughed.
Li Mu actually admires Pang Xian.
But having talent and character does not mean that you will lead troops to fight.
Next year's Battle of Yan can even be said to be the first time Pang Qian led his troops to the battlefield in his life.
You know, Pang Xuan is almost eighty years old this year, and he still has to lead his troops to the battlefield at this age. It is not certain whether he can endure hardships.
But after visiting Jiang Yu's army this time, Li Mu finally stopped worrying.
Jiang Xi has such elite soldiers and generals under his command. Even if he cannot defeat him, he should be protected without any major obstacles.
"Yu'er, I remember you were leading the army alone for only three months? The 6,000 people I gave you were all recruits. Although they were all young and strong, they were quite thin. How did you make these soldiers change drastically in just three months?" Sima Shang asked curiously.
"Master, General Sima, please come with me." Jiang Yu invited him.
"Oh? Look at what secrets do you have!" Li Mu and Sima Shang looked at each other and smiled.
After Jiang Yu took Li Mu, Sima Shang and others to visit the sheep pen and farm outside the military camp, he explained: "This is a farm I invested in. I asked the soldiers to train hard every day. The ones who trained the most were meat to eat, while those who did not train were responsible for cleaning the farm."
"In this way, the soldiers have competition and will naturally train hard. Moreover, the soldiers can eat a meal of meat every few days and are naturally strong."
"So that's it. Not only is the case, Xi'er not only has good military management, but also loves soldiers like a son. General. Have you taught a good disciple!" Sima Shang congratulated.
"Haha!" Li Mu laughed, looking very unsatisfied.
Smile! Smile!
Jiang Yu said to himself: "These soldiers are all new soldiers. Now they have received so many favors from me. Now, let alone Li Mu's orders, even King Zhao's orders may not be effective."
Although Jiang Yu was unable to mobilize the soldiers in the camp privately, in fact, even without the orders of King Zhao, as long as Jiang Yu thought, these soldiers would be named after Jiang Yu.
In the evening of that day, Li Mu brought his men back to Handan. As a general of Zhao, he naturally had many military affairs to deal with and could not stay outside for a long time.
Now that Li Mu has inspected Jiang Yu's military camp, he naturally has nothing to worry about.
Jiang Xi just needs to wait for the battle next year.
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yu took Xuan Jian back to Handan, went to Li Mu's mansion to celebrate the Chinese New Year together, and also gave holidays to the soldiers in the camp.
The military pay has been paid, and the soldiers have money, so they naturally have to go home to check it out and leave the money to their families.
Time passed very quickly. In February of the New Year, Jiang Yu received a military order and immediately led a large army to Handan to join General Pang Nuan's army.
This time, including Jiang Yu's eight thousand men, there were only about 70,000 people in total.
After all, Yan State is now a sunset and its national strength is at its lowest point in history.
Last year, there might be about 250,000 soldiers in the country, but after Zhao's battle to attack Yan last year, Yan's national strength was greatly damaged, and there were probably less than 200,000 soldiers and horses left across the country.
In addition, these soldiers had to guard all over the country, and at most they could send to the front line, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers.
In this battle, Pang Nuan is the first priority to break through the Wuyang City of Yan. Only when Wuyang City is broken will there be hope for destroying Yan. At that time, King Zhao will immediately increase troops to support Pang Nuan.
If Wuyang City is not destroyed, no matter how many troops are sent, it will not be able to defeat Yan State.
For Zhao, the focus of destroying Yan was never on Yan, but on Qin.
Last year, Qin had just mediated for Yan and Zhao, and in just one year, Zhao raised troops to attack Yan again, obviously not taking Qin seriously.
If the State of Zhao spread its strength to attack Yan and Qin took advantage of this opportunity to invade, it would be difficult to resist.
This is also the reason why King Zhao was unable to send more troops.
In fact, at this moment, in King Zhao's heart, he looked down on King Qin Ying Zheng a little.
Now Ying Zheng has been the King of Qin for almost five years. Not to mention the establishment of meritorious deeds, even the government in the court is in the hands of Lu Buwei.
Although Qin State had good ministers and generals, if the King of Qin was incompetent, Zhao State would be safe during his reign.
In fact, the Qin State did not have much military operations for several years. Jiang Yu once doubted whether the current Qin King Ying Zheng was the Qin King Ying Zheng in history.
But then he thought that Ying Zheng is only seventeen years old and has not held the ceremony yet. Although he is ambitious, Lu Buwei is the nominal minister of the regent. Although Ying Zheng is determined to take back the royal power, he may have no choice but to do anything to Lu Buwei when his commander Wuming is out.
The reason why the royal power is a royal power is that it has a supreme position in the country is extremely important.
Even if the Qin State is now in the hands of Lu Buwei, as long as Ying Zheng has the right to rule after he is crowned, even if Lu Buwei does not want to return the power, those old ministers who are loyal to Qin will not agree.
But now, Lu Buwei is the regent minister and the prime minister of Qin. Even if Ying Zheng was unfair and inappropriate, even if he wanted to get rid of Lu Buwei, the ministers in the court would not agree.
