Chapter 8 I want to go with the army
(Please collect, please recommend)
In front of Li Mu's study, four soldiers wearing armor stood on both sides and no one was allowed to enter.
"A few brothers, can you please help me get in and report it?" Jiang Yu said cutely in blinking.
"The general has ordered that during the negotiation of military affairs, no one is allowed to enter, and no matter what matters are not allowed." A soldier refused seriously.
"I have something important!" Jiang Xi said quickly.
Several soldiers naturally recognized Jiang Yu, but what important things can Jiang Yu have for a ten-year-old child? Hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "Don't make things difficult for us. If I go in and report, I will be scolded or even beaten."
"Okay! Then I'll wait outside the door." Jiang Yu nodded, not making things difficult for the soldiers.
Fame is often formed over time. Li Mu loves soldiers as much as his son, and Jiang Yu, as Li Mu's disciple, naturally would not make things difficult for the soldiers at will.
Li Mu is indeed discussing military and political affairs with deputy general Sima Shang and others at this moment, and it is imperative to attack Yan.
Zhao may suffer considerable losses when attacking Yan, but if it does not attack Yan, it will be cedeed to the five cities of Qin in vain.
Zhao State was helpless, and Li Mu, as a famous general of Zhao State, naturally felt a little powerless.
Now Qin is the top military power among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. Qin threatens Zhao. If he does not ced the Hejian city, he will jointly attack Zhao with Yan.
For Yan State, being able to join forces with Qin State to attack Zhao is naturally a great thing.
With Qin's main force to restrain Zhao, Yan's state may have been able to get a few cities in vain.
So Zhao ceded the land to Qin in exchange for the promise of Qin to stand on the wall and not help each other.
The losses of Zhao State will naturally be recovered from Yan State.
Qin's strategy was indeed exquisite. Once this plan was made, Qin was immediately invincible. Whether it was joining Yan to attack Zhao or watching Zhao Yan fight, Qin could get benefits.
How much benefit Zhao can get depends entirely on whether it can please Qin and how much piece of meat can be torn off from Yan.
As for Yan State, who would consider weak countries within the seven countries?
Jiang Yu waited until nightfall.
After Li Mu discussed military affairs with the soldiers, he saw that it was getting late, so he asked everyone to have dinner in Li's mansion, and Jiang Yu finally got the opportunity to meet Li Mu.
"I've seen the master!" Jiang Xu bowed.
"Yu'er, I heard that you have been waiting outside for an afternoon. What's the important thing about coming to see your master?" Li Mu asked with a smile.
"Why do you want to send your master to attack Yan State?" Jiang Xu asked.
"Your kid's news is very informative. Is it the king who told you?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice.
"It was the disciple who accidentally heard people talking about it." Jiang Yu naturally would not betray Wang Kai. Even though Li Mu knew it, if Jiang Yu admitted it, Wang Kai would definitely be punished, and if he didn't say it, there would be nothing wrong.
"snort!"
"Master, I have been learning military tactics for two years and think I am quite talented. I want to lead the army to attack Yan with my master." Jiang Yu said with a serious face.
"Haha! Boy, you are very ambitious, but you are still too young, let's talk about it in a few years!" Sima Shang, who was standing beside him, immediately laughed when he heard Jiang Feng's words.
"Sima Shang is right, you are too young now. Let's talk about leading troops in a few years!" Li Mu said.
As a master, Li Mu naturally knew Jiang Yan's ability. However, he was different from leading troops to fight and learning martial arts and swords. With Jiang Yan's age, he might not even be able to shock the soldiers.
"Have you ever heard of talking about war on paper?" Jiang Xu asked.
"What did you say about this?" Li Mu shouted in a deep voice.
The word "talking about war" on paper is the eternal communication of Zhao State.
"It is precisely because I don't want to become Zhao Kuo, who is talking about war on paper that I want my master to lead my disciples to attack Yan." Jiang Yu refuted: "Yan State is weak and there are no generals in the country who have any interests. What's more, this time there is a master who commands the troops, and the disciples just follow the side to experience and increase their experience."
"The Qin State Ganluo was only twelve years old and could serve as a mission to Zhao State. Although his disciples were only ten years old, they had no problem practicing martial arts and learning military tactics for three years, and leading troops to fight."
These words were reasonable and well-founded. Li Mu and Sima Shang looked at each other and were a little confused.
"General, why not arrange for Ji'er to join our army?" Sima Shang suggested: "I heard that Ji'er has made great achievements in mathematics and learning. Why not come to our army to be a Sima and be responsible for managing food and grass?"
Military Sima!
To be honest, this starting point is already very high.
Just responsible for food and grass...
"Don't underestimate the food and grass. The so-called three armies will take the lead before they move. If there is a problem with the food and grass, the army will lose its combat capability." Li Mu said with a serious face: "On weekdays, you are playing in the army's mansion and making some minor mistakes, so you won't punish you, but if you get into the army, even if it is a minor mistake, the army will maintain the strictness of military law."
"In this way, are you still willing to follow the army?"
"Disciple is willing." Jiang Xi quickly promised: "Disciple will abide by the military rules when he arrives in the army and will never make things difficult for the master."
"Since that's the case, I will take you to the lieutenant in charge of food and grass tomorrow. You can study with him for a while." Sima Shang said.
"Yes!" Jiang Sheng was overjoyed.
Although he is only responsible for food and grass, he may not meet the Yan army, but he is responsible for escorting food and grass, at least he can have a gangster qualification first.
What if someone comes to rob the grain, maybe he can make military achievements.
"Yu'er, what time do you think the army should go to war?" Seeing that Jiang Yu's decision to go to war with the army, Li Mu began to ask.
"Of course it's after spring plowing."
Jiang Yu said this very surely. It is November now, and it is cold outside, so it should be next year when he goes to Yan State.
If they went on the battle after the autumn harvest, Li Mu and others would not have started discussing military affairs so early.
Since ancient times, war has been a major event for the country.
Before sending troops, the number of troops to the expedition must be counted, the food and grass are mobilized, the siege equipment is built, etc. Many things must be done in advance, and then the army will go to the expedition.
During the Warring States Period, it was still an agricultural society, and food was always the top priority. If the spring farming was affected by military affairs, let alone the people in the world would criticize Li Mu, even King Zhao would kill Li Mu.
If the troops were sent out after spring plowing, the land full of grain in Yan State would become the land of Zhao State.
Originally, Jiang Yu thought Li Muhui had a difficult problem, but he didn't expect it to be such a pediatric problem.
"Where does Yu'er think our army should attack first?" Li Mu asked Jiang Yu with a map on the table.
Jiang Qi looked at the map of Yan State, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you attack Yan State head-on, you can divide your troops into two groups to attack Wusui and Fangcheng, and the two groups of troops and horses are one that is weak and one that is strong, put pressure on Yan State. If you want to win a surprise, you can send a team of elite cavalry to attack Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, and the army will press on the rear, and send an envoy to force Yan State to cede the territory."
