Genius One Second Memory → Net, providing you with wonderful novels to read. Dong Zhao was combined with the Han State, this is something that everyone knows, but sooner or later, but this point in time makes everyone a little surprised, in Qin Chu's judgment, the Han State is carrying out a series of domestic political reforms, including the reorganization of the army, the division of military regions, the establishment of various new state yamen, the issuance of new currency by the central bank, no matter what one thing, it is a big thing to put in Qin Chu, which is enough to make the country turbulent for a while, Originally, it was thought that the Han Kingdom would also stop for a year or two to digest the instability caused by this series of major changes, and would not provoke new incidents.
However, the Han Dynasty always did things beyond everyone's expectations, and at the time when everyone felt the safest, the Han Kingdom announced the annexation of Eastern Zhao for the first time, and the Titan General incorporated half of the territory of Zhao into its own territory.
Qin Chu was surprised, but even more vigilant in his heart, this can only show one thing, the internal affairs and stability of the Han Dynasty are beyond everyone's expectations, everyone thinks that they will be unstable factors due to a series of changes, for the Han Kingdom, it is not a matter at all, they can easily digest these unstable factors. This reflected the strong control of the Han court over the country, as well as the prestige of the Han king in the hearts of the entire Han people.
You must know that the Han State is not simply a single-ethnic country, and now within the territory of the Han State, not to mention the other few hundred ethnic groups, only the Donghu and the Xiongnu, the two major races, have all been kings and hegemons before, and now it seems that they are completely subservient to the ear.
After the Han announced the annexation of Eastern Zhao and the abdication of Zhao Wouji, the king of Zhao, Western Zhao immediately issued a sternly worded statement, claiming that this was the naked invasion of Zhao by the Han State, and every innocent person of Zhao would not sit idly by and watch this happen, and Zhao would fight to the death with the invaders, and at the same time call on the people in the occupied areas to rise up and fight to the death with the invaders.
For the sound of Xi Zhao. The Han court didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly began to answer them with actions, and a large number of troops of the First Army marched into Dongzhao and took over the important cities of Dongzhao. The military camp, and the army of Eastern Zhao, began to move towards the Han state, and they were to go to Daijun to accept the reorganization and reorganization of the first military region.
The movement of all armies appeared to be reasonable and without the slightest flaw.
Hanya Seki. Lu Chao did not dare to wait for it, after the Han announced the annexation of Eastern Zhao, he immediately began to mobilize the army, when the Han State had just begun to send troops to take over the important cities of Eastern Zhao, Lu Chao's army had already left Hangu Pass and entered Jinyang.
He must guard against the possibility that the Han State may strike while the iron is hot and wave his army to attack Western Zhao directly, Lu Chao does not think that the current Western Zhao army can withstand the attack of the Han State, no one knows the current situation of the Western Zhao army better than him, and serves as a barrier for the Qin State in front of Hangu Pass. Lu Chao must ensure the existence of the Xizhao regime. txt eBook Download/
Lu Chao brought out a total of 20,000 troops from Hangu Pass, and after entering Jinyang, he set up a large camp in Lubin, which was more than 50 miles away from Jinyang City.
Although the camp inside and outside Hangu Pass has a total of more than 100,000 Qin troops, it is impossible for Lu Chao to mobilize them all, after all, as soon as the army moves, the consumption of grain and silver is an astronomical amount. Now, the Qin people's economy is really difficult, and it is really not cost-effective to mobilize troops on a large scale in order to demonstrate to the Han people.
In Lu Chao's heart. This is just a demonstration, he sent troops to Jinyang, just to show the Han State that the Qin State will never sit idly by and watch the Han people extend their clutches to the Western Zhao after taking the Eastern Zhao, as for the ownership of the Eastern Zhao. It was not at all within the scope of the Qin people's consideration, and the existence of the puppet regime of Eastern Zhao was no different from the formal annexation of it by the Han state. It was enough to ensure the temporary existence of the Western Zhao regime to relieve the pressure on the Qin state to directly confront the Han state on a large scale above the frontier defenses.
Of course, this time to send troops, by the way, you can also get back the things that you asked for from Xizhao before, after you sent the list of needs to Jinyang, the Jinyang Xizhao court has been looking for various reasons to delay and not pay, Lu Chaocai no matter how difficult they are, whether it is a real difficulty or a fake difficulty, what they need, they must hand it over, as for how to open the question with things, that is Zhao Qi's business.
His 20,000 troops are stationed in Lubin, which will also form a strong pressure on Zhao Qi, if he dares not to pay, then he has to consider the deterrence of his 20,000 troops.
Sure enough, when he arrived in Lubin and set up camp, his butt was not yet hot, and Zhao Qi came in a hurry like a spark, not only did he come, but even his son Zhao Xilie followed him to Lubin.
"I've seen the general." In front of Lu Chao, Zhao Qi bent down deeply, without the slightest dignity of the head of a country, "The general is worried about the affairs of Zhao Guo, and Zhao Qi is deeply grateful." 【△網www.aixs】"
Lu Chao waved his hand, "Zhao Shoufu is polite, please get up, please get up." ”
"The weather is so cold, General Lu personally led the troops here to raise the momentum for my big Zhao, and Zhao Qi should express his gratitude. This time, Zhao brought a little material for the army to thank the general for his solidarity. Zhao Qi said humbly.
Lu Chao raised his head and glanced at the convoy that was slowly approaching here in the distance, the number was too big compared to what he requested, this thing could not make up for the cost of his troops this time, he didn't say much at the moment, and smiled faintly, "It's too cold outside, Zhao Shoufu, let's talk in the camp, please!" ”
Lu Chao's big tent is as warm as spring, although the army is far away, but in this huge Chinese military tent, there are four braziers, carefully selected smokeless charcoal is silently spitting out light basket-colored flames, simmering in the small copper furnace next to the charcoal fire, the steam is rising, and the cold outside the big tent is a world of difference.
Zhao Xilie took a deep breath, looked here, and then thought about the bleak scene in his Chinese army tent, remembering that Li Mingjun was lying on the ground with his cheeks puffing out the charcoal fire that was about to be extinguished, and a fire of ignorance rose from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he could only lower his head and try his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Lu Chao's enjoyment is based on the suffering of the Xizhao people, and on the basis of the starvation of the entire Xizhao army, looking at his attitude just now, it seems that he is still disgusted that his father has brought too few things, you know, even these things are pieced together by Xizhao.
"You may be seated. Zhao Shoufu, General Zhao. Lu Chao smiled and asked the two to sit down, "I have long heard that Zhao Shoufu's tea ceremony is profound, but it's a pity that Lu was born poor." There is really no research on this course, it is rare for Zhao Shoufu to come to my camp today, and he is just idle, so let's talk and appreciate Zhao Shoufu's tea ceremony. ”
Hearing such a rude request from Lu Chao. Zhao Xilie was furious in his heart, do you say that my father is an artist in the teahouse and wine shop? You even want him to make tea for you personally? The anger in his heart could no longer be held back, and his face couldn't help but look very ugly.
Lu Chao glanced at the other party coldly, "What's wrong with General Zhao, his face is so ugly?" ”
Before Zhao Xilie could answer, Zhao Qi had already rushed to say: "Xiao'er is worried about the current situation, worried day and night, and has not rested well, his face is a little ugly, the general should not blame." ”
"That's right. General Zhao is young, I'm afraid I can't see the current situation clearly, don't worry, it is impossible for the Han people to attack on a large scale now, General Zhao should put his heart in his stomach. Lu Chao chuckled.
Zhao Xilie said in a sullen voice: "Since the general thinks so, then why do you want to lead the troops out of Guguan, this day is cold, tens of thousands of troops are brave the wind and snow, is it possible that the general wants to take this opportunity to train the army?" ”
Hearing Zhao Xilie push himself back in one bite, Lu Chao laughed. "Attitude, this is an attitude, we must show our attitude to the Han people, and it is also a warning. If they are too greedy, then war will break out, and that's it. As for what you said about training the army in a strong wind and snow, it is not bad, a forced march in such weather. It is a great test of our army's ability, and I am very satisfied with the result, the Great Qin army is still the strongest army in the world. I believe that the two of you have walked into my camp all the way and have seen the morale of our army. ”
"That's that!" Zhao Qi hurriedly intervened to ease the atmosphere: "The Great Qin Tiger Ben has always been the strongest soldier and horse in the world, and with the Great Qin as the backup of the Zhao State, the Han State will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties." ”
"Even if it is a tiger in the world, but it is also a meal, and it also needs to be paid, Zhao Shoufu, the last time I gave you the materials on the list, I have not received it, Daqin is your Zhao State support, whether it is sending troops or others, he spares no effort and makes every effort to think about Zhao State, but Lord Zhao does not seem to be active in our requirements."
"It's not that I'm not active, it's really a little overwhelming, but Zhao is still trying his best to raise it."
"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, if I can't get these supplies in time, my soldiers will inevitably be very disappointed." Lu Chao looked at Zhao Qi with a smile.
Zhao Qi gritted his teeth, "The general can rest assured, before the Chinese New Year, Zhao will definitely send all the supplies to the general's camp." ”
"So very good, so very good, this time I don't have to send it to Hangu Pass, I will be in Lubin left and right, and it will be good if Lord Zhao will send it here at that time, and it will save Lord Zhao from running back and forth." Lu Chao Road.
"Don't worry, general, come, general, try Zhao's craftsmanship." Zhao Qi held a cup of brewed tea in both hands and handed it to Lu Chao.
Lu Chao took the tea offered by Zhao Qi, took a sip lightly, and nodded again and again, "Okay, good tea, compared to my ordinary class axe, it is simply not above the same level." ”
"The general has a lot of opportunities, and the tea ceremony is just a small skill, the general just doesn't want to waste time on this, if you want to do it, the general will definitely be able to do the ultimate." Zhao Qi's attitude has almost become flattery.
"Well, if I want to do something, I'm going to do the best I can with him." Lu Chao nodded with satisfaction, took the teacup, and tasted it carefully.
Zhao Qi handed a cup of tea to his son Zhao Xilie, and at the same time passed him a stern look, because the expression on Zhao Xilie's face was really difficult to hide.
Zhao Xilie lowered his head and slowly drank the tea one by one, and in the silence, he suddenly raised his head: "General, in fact, I also have an idea in my heart, I wonder if the general wants to hear it?" ”
"Oh, what does General Zhao think, Lu Mou listened." Lu Chao nodded.
"As General Lu said earlier, the general sent troops to the Han people, nothing more than a demonstration to the Han people, and Zhao also wanted to carry out a large-scale military exercise in Jinyang County, firstly, as the general said, to check the army's preparedness and morale, and secondly, to show the courage of our army and the determination to recover the lost land to the people of Zhao, and thirdly, to awaken the people's sense of resistance and inspire people. Fourth, it is also to show the Han people that we have made all preparations, as long as they dare to attack, we will definitely give them a head-on blow, what does the general think? ”
Listening to Zhao Xilie's eloquent conversation, Zhao Qi on the side couldn't help but be dumbfounded, because Zhao Xilie had never communicated with him at all in advance, where did he get the money and food to hold such a large-scale exercise? What's more, now Lu Chao is still pressing the materials so tightly.
"General Zhao's proposal is very good, but this is Zhao's internal affairs, so I won't interfere, you can just make your own decisions."
"Then I will invite General Lu to come and guide!" Zhao Xilie said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
