"Guerrilla warfare?" Yi Qusheng subconsciously opened his eyes wide.

This is the second time Yi Qusheng has heard this term from Li Mu.

So soon, Yi Qusheng's eyes quickly lit up and he said to Li Mu: "Do you want to use the tactics of defeating the Qin people last time?"

Li Mu smiled on his face and said to Yi Qusheng in front of him: "After my years of research and experience, it is very certain that guerrilla warfare is definitely one of the best tactics that can be used when the weak face the strong. This tactic can not only hit the morale of the enemy, but also make the survival rate of the weak reach the highest, and it can also make the enemy not dare to relax his vigilance anytime and anywhere, which leads to the panic of everyone..."

"Okay, OK, OK, OK, my General Li Mu, don't continue talking anymore." Yi Qusheng interrupted Li Mu with a headache, and then said to Li Mu: "Since that's the case, then I will give you all the troops and horses of Yiqu Country to command next, General Li Mu."

However, Li Mu's answer was completely beyond Yiqusheng's expectations: "No, I am a general of Zhao. How can I easily participate in the wars of other countries without the orders of my king? Besides, if the Qin people learned that I was actually commanding the army of Yiquguo, it would be a big trouble."

Li Mu deliberately paused, and then said to Yiqusheng meaningfully: "Actually, this war does not require my command, and you and Yiqu people will fight well."

"Really?" Judging from Yi Qusheng's tone, he obviously did not have much confidence in himself and the country he ruled.

After all, compared with the small Yiqu, Qin State is really a powerful behemoth.

"Really." Li Mu replied patiently: "In fact, the key to the problem is that you must learn to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses! Let me ask you first, how many infantry, how many chariots, and how many cavalry are there when the Qin army attacks this time?"

As the king of Yiqu Kingdom, Yiqu City naturally has some control over its territory. Therefore, it is also very clear about the distribution of the Qin army that has entered Yiqu Kingdom. He opened his mouth and said to Li Mu: "The Qin people have a total of 100,000 soldiers, including 5,000 chariots, 2,000 cavalry, and the others are all infantry."

Logically speaking, although the Qin State did not have too many cavalry, the number of two thousand obviously seemed to be a little less.

The main reason for this situation is of course the betrayal of Yiqiu people.

You should know that Yiqu people and Qiang people have always been the main source of Qin cavalry. Therefore, when Yiqu people are independent, the Qin people immediately lost the largest source of cavalry and the main source of supply of war horses. In addition, they were defeated one after another when facing Zhao, so it is not surprising that the number of Qin cavalry has shrunk.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "After thinking over the years, I have discovered one thing, that is, war is essentially about playing to the strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and using my strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings. In this way, the balance of victory can be tilted to the side of oneself to the greatest extent. This war should be used to maximize this for your Yiqiu Kingdom."

Yi Qusheng nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Li Mu: "So what you mean is to let the king give full play to our strengths and attack the shortcomings of the Qin people, right?"

Li Mu patted Yiqusheng's shoulder with a smile and said to Yiqusheng: "That's right, that's the reason. For this war, my suggestion is to disperse your cavalry into many small teams, and keep invading the Qin people's march along the way, so that the Qin people dare not take it lightly at all times."

"At the same time, you can also send multiple cavalry to the rear of the Qin people to harass the Qin people's grain transport team. If the escort force of the grain transport team is very weak, then a large-scale cavalry will gather to destroy it."

Yi Qusheng couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "But what if the Qin people strengthened their escort force to the grain transport team after being destroyed two or three times?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "If this happens, will it just disperse the power of Qin?"

Yiqusheng suddenly realized.

Li Mu continued: "Considering that the combat effectiveness of the Qin people's cavalry is not as good as Yiqu, if Wang He dares to send a small group of cavalry, he will naturally be no match for the Ru Yiqu cavalry. If the Qin people sent a large group of cavalry, after all, its cavalry will be no more than two thousand people, and Ru can seize the opportunity to completely annihilate it. Once the Qin people lose their cavalry, Wang He will no longer be able to threaten your cavalry."

"With your cavalry speed, even if the Qin people's grain transport convoy is strong in defending, it can only passively withstand the harassment of your Yiqu cavalry, which will pose a great threat to the Qin people's retreat and supplies."

"As long as the Qin people's food channels are threatened so continuously by you, they will never be able to obtain other sources of military rations on this spring plateau. So as long as you persist in this life, when the Qin people have eaten all the food and grass, what other ways can they continue to stay in the land of Yiqu Kingdom without leaving?"

Yi Qusheng heard it and his eyes shone with yearning. It seemed that the Qin people left their land in disgrace, and he couldn't help but speak, "If this is the case, how long will it take for me to drive the Qin people away?"

After seeing Yiqusheng, Li Mu thought to himself that if it were the Zhao border cavalry army led by this general himself, then the Qin army would withdraw from the land in shame in one month at most.

However, Li Mu, the Yiqu cavalry led by Yiqusheng, also knew very well. He was all slack in terms of combat effectiveness and discipline. In essence, it was no different from the Xiongnu or the Wusun people. He was more like an army like a bandit.

Such Yiqiu cavalry is not on the same level as the Zhao cavalry under Li Mu, who is very disciplined, equipped and combat power.

So after a brief hesitation, Li Mu gave a very, very conservative answer.

"If you and your Yiqu cavalry can implement this strategy well, then the Qin people will definitely withdraw their troops before winter!"

When Yiqiusheng heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, obviously a little dissatisfied: "It takes so long to get the Qin people to withdraw their troops?"

Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng in front of him and said mercilessly: "If your Yiqu cavalry can be stronger than that, perhaps the Qin people may have withdrawn earlier. To be honest, you should follow my last suggestion to you, set up a military judge in the army, and reward your soldiers with the military merit system. In this way, they can arouse their morale and make them work harder for you when fighting. Do you understand?"

Yiqiusheng yelled, looked at Li Mu seriously and said, "This is not possible. You must know that my soldiers are all a group of wild guys, how could they be bound by military discipline? And if you adopt the military merit system of your Zhao State, then wouldn't I need to use my wealth to reward those soldiers? They already had the right to divide the spoils. If I, the king, still have to take out things from his spoils to reward them, then I, the king, really have no benefits left."

Li Mu looked up at the sky and decided not to continue talking to the short-sighted earth bun in front of him.

It was not until this time that Li Mu finally discovered how commendable and happy it was for the citizens of a country to have a wise and powerful king.

But no matter what, Yiqu City finally followed Li Mu's opinion and launched a vigorous guerrilla war against the Qin people.

Just after the third day after the Yiqu people voluntarily gave up Yiqu City, the 100,000 Qin troops led by Wang He and Wang Ling arrived in Yiqu City and occupied this city that was basically an empty city.

Since the cavalry had already conducted a reconnaissance here in advance, Wang He and Wang Ling were not surprised by this. On the contrary, on the one hand, they first led the Qin army to camp in Yiqu City. On the other hand, they also sent a large number of ranger sentries to all directions, trying to detect the traces of Yiqu people and then give Yiqu people some unforgettable lessons.

However, Wang He and Wang Ling underestimated the difficulty of this war and underestimated the will of Yiqu people to resist. They felt that since the Yiqu people fled after seeing the Qin army, they didn't even want the capital, then it would not take long for Yiqu to be included in the Qin territory again.

But soon Wang and Wang Ling discovered that the Yiqu people had just left the city, but had no intention of surrendering to the Qin people.

On the contrary, the advantage of the Yiqu people's cavalry in the wild was far stronger than the Qin State. The Qin people's cavalry were hit by the Yiqu people's head-on attacks, and they lost at least a dozen to dozens of cavalry almost every day.

As a result, a few days later, the Qin people no longer dared to send a team of cavalry provocates to go out to reconnaise the traces of Yiqu people.

But on this vast plateau, if there is no definite information, it would be easier to march around like a prize-touching event?

Moreover, the ubiquitous harassment of the Yiqu people also greatly affected the Qin army's supplies. Although the Qin army occupied several nearby cities during this period, under the tenacious struggle of the Yiqu people who were strong and clear, the war was inevitably in a temporary deadlock.
