Chapter 810 Zhao Kuo, who won the two-line battle
Zhao Kuo did not know what the eunuch Ling thought. At this moment, Zhao Kuo was busy doing another thing.
Under Zhao Kuo's leadership, there is now an additional department in the General Zhao State Office, whose name is "General Staff".
In modern warfare, the General Staff is an indispensable department. Its main function is to provide the head coach with ideas for the entire war, and assist the head coach in formulating war plans, and at the same time help the head coach implement all aspects of the plan.
If a large army of hundreds of thousands of people rely on a commander alone, it will be exhausted, and the other hand may delay or even make mistakes due to the commander's lack of energy.
But if there are staff members to help deal with the details, the coach can concentrate on controlling the overall situation.
Of course, the most important responsibility of the staff is to help the coach provide war ideas and plans, which is also the essential meaning of the word "supervisor".
Originally, Zhao Kuo came to the General Staff alone, but he didn't expect that after hearing this, Li Mu insisted on following him, and even expressed his opinions to serve as a supervisor for Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo is naturally irresistible to this beloved general. If you want to talk about it, then you will be the first to talk about it.
Li Mu stood in front of a military map, and the baton in his hand kept moving on the map, talking freely: "June, if it were me, I would choose the next target of destruction."
Zhao Kuo said: "Why is Wei State?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's very simple, because Wei State is the weakest!"
Zhao Kuo: "..." But after thinking about it carefully, Li Mu's words were actually nothing wrong.
You have to pick the soft persimmons.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about Qin Shihuang's unification of the world in history, wouldn't he start with the weakest South Korea first?
Zhao Kuo said calmly: "What is your specific strategy for destroying Wei State?"
Li Mu touched his head and smiled and said, "Is there any specific strategy needed?
Lord, just as our current strength as Da Zhao, just send troops directly!”
Zhao Kuo: "..." Something is wrong, it's really wrong.
In history, Li Mu was the super commander who could kill Meng Ao and left Wang Jian helpless. Why did he like it so much when he became my subordinate Zhao Kuo?
If Li Mu could hear Zhao Kuo's words, Li Mu would definitely say to Zhao Kuo with certainty - this is called changing a person in the environment! Li Mu in history has been independent for a long time, and naturally he has to consider the overall situation.
But now Li Mu has Zhao Kuo to help him consider the overall situation, and Li Mu only needs to lead his army to kill the enemy.
So the wise general Li Mu in history has now become a powerful general under Zhao Kuo! This does not mean that Li Mu has become a reckless man. Zhao Kuo is very sure that as long as Li Mu is wielding his brain, he will definitely be powerful on his own.
So Zhao Kuo also deliberately darkened his face and said, "Speak well, this is a war between the army, not a joke!"
When Li Mu saw that Zhao Kuo seemed angry, he felt a little panicked and hurriedly said, "Master, don't be angry, I'll talk carefully now, and say well!"
Li Mu coughed, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Wei State just suffered a crushing defeat in this war, and its national strength is now the weakest among all countries.
So, our Da Zhao actually doesn't need to do anything. We just let the King of Wei offer Daliang City. The reason is very simple, just for the King or for the Queen Mother to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother! The King of Wei is definitely unwilling to offer Daliang City. At this time, we can have an excuse to start a war against the State of Wei.
By that time, will other princes dare to help the Wei State?
I think Chu will definitely not.
The key point is that Qin and Qi. At worst, we will continue to divide the troops into three groups, and the two groups are optimistic about Qin and Qi, and strive to destroy Wei in the shortest time."
When Zhao Kuo heard this, he immediately felt that although Li Mu's words were a bit unreasonable, they were really feasible.
When Qin was powerful, the King of Qin often used the reasons for celebrating his birthday to force other vassal states to contribute land to Qin. Among them, Han and Wei were the most land. When Zhao was weak, it also offered a lot of land to Qin.
Feng Shui takes turns. Now Zhao is the most powerful country. What’s wrong with letting others offer a piece of land?
As for why we directly asked the State of Wei to contribute Daliang City... Zhao State is happy! Anyway, our State of Zhao is powerful, I can do whatever I want. Can you say anything in Wei?
What is this called? This is called a weak country without diplomacy. This is called being beaten if you fall behind! Zhao Kuo was quite satisfied when he heard this and nodded, "Very good, this opinion is very good. I will consider it carefully at that time."
Said it was considered, but basically Zhao Kuo had already planned to adopt Li Mu's opinion.
Judging from the map, the territory occupied by the Wei State is the central and most important area in the entire Central Plains.
Before the Battle of Changping, the territory of Wei ranked among the top two among the seven countries, but the arable land area, grain output and population were among the top among the seven countries. This is the benefit that the Central Plains brought to Wei.
Destroying the Wei State will not only bring Zhao the military initiative to attack everywhere in the Central Plains, but also allow Zhao State's food and population to soar.
In general, this wave is definitely not a loss.
After Li Mu received praise from Zhao Kuo, his eyes narrowed with a smile, looking like an innocent big boy.
For this general of Zhao, war is everything he loves the most! After Li Mu, many staff officers from the General Office spoke.
These speeches were varied and their levels were uneven. However, Zhao Kuo always smiled and listened to everyone's speech patiently.
We should encourage young people.
After the meeting, Zhao Kuo left the General Staff and just returned to his study, Su Li hurriedly walked in.
"Honey, good news!"
Su Li said to Zhao Kuo with joy, "The order has just been sent from Handan, and the entire peace talks have been completed. The king asked Junhou to return to the court after receiving the order!"
When Zhao Kuo heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly and asked, "Is the peace talk done according to our wishes, or is it done according to the wishes of Pingyang Jun?"
Su Li smiled and said, "To be honest, the messenger who came to send the order was our Nightingale's person. The meaning of the peace talks this time was completed exactly as you wish. Pingyang Jun is said to have been so angry that he hasn't gone out for several days."
Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Okay, very good! Since that's the case, then let's go to the next level tomorrow!"
This time, Zhao Kuo not only defeated foreign enemies, but also defeated domestic political enemies.
Both battles on both sides were victorious, is there anything more joyful in the world?
Chapter completed!
