Zhao Guo, Song Zicheng

The sky is a little gloomy, tens of thousands of Yan troops are coming out of Songzi City, Zhao Kuo is also the first time to see what is called tens of thousands of troops, since early in the morning, this city gate has been constantly spitting out Yan people, until now has not spit clean, more than an hour has passed, the first departure of the army, so far can not be seen, so overlooked, the road is slowly Yan people.

Zhao Kuo and everyone hid in the dense forest north of Song Zicheng, the dense forest here is close to the road, it seems a little sparse, it is easy to be found, Zhao Kuo led a few knights, left the horses, Zhao Kuo still remembered the "auspicious suit" at the beginning, he followed that look, simply disguised himself as a few entourage, and then crawled to the forest near the road, quietly observing the Yan people on the road.

This matter is very dangerous, because it is too close to the Yan people, and it is difficult to escape without horses, Handan Zao and others were originally trying to persuade Zhao Kuo not to take risks and let them come, but Zhao Kuo still rejected their kindness, as the main general, he must personally observe, know the enemy's situation, and the information obtained from other people's mouths will inevitably be incorrect. The dense forest in the early morning was very cold, and coupled with the dew on the ground, Zhao Kuo was so crawling forward, shivering from the cold, and his teeth chattered.

Fortunately, it is a little warmer now, but it is not easy to maintain a motionless posture like this, I waited for a long time on the side of the road, and finally, Zhao Kuo saw the first frame driving out in the distance, what he was waiting for was this, Zhao Kuo watched more seriously, the driver was not young, and there were a few foot soldiers around, this poorly equipped and Zhao Jun led by Zhao Kuo had a fight.

This is not a tank unit, this is a grain transport unit! Sure enough, the chestnut belly siege will make the baggage grain and grass follow the troops. Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and carefully remembered everything he saw, there were a lot of grain trucks, of course, there were also troops to escort them, but these troops were not the elite of Yan State, these may be people recruited from Yan State, and the weapons were not complete, they were responsible for construction, escort, and cooking.

They followed slowly around the carriage, and even a few soldiers, looking around, as long as there were no generals around, they would jump directly into the carriage, the food of the Yan people was very sufficient, Zhao Kuo had counted more than seventy carriages, Yan and Zhao were the same, there was no shortage of horses, not to mention such a short horse, they could not fight as war horses, they could only transport grain.

From the very beginning, Zhao Kuo's goal was the other party's grain and grass, he wanted to cut off the other party's grain and grass, but unfortunately the other party did not transport grain and grass through Yan Kingdom, and could not cut off the grain and grass, so he could only attack their reserve grain and grass, he first let the other party know his exact location through the messenger, relax his vigilance, and then lead these cavalry to the other party's side quickly, he didn't know in his heart whether these hundreds of people could defeat the enemy, but now this is the best way.

In the face of nearly 100,000 Yan people, his thousands of old and weak people can't fight each other for hundreds of them, there is no doubt that destroying the other party's grain and grass and making the Yan people's army have a serious shortage of food is the best way. Now that he has mastered the location of the opponent's grain and grass, the number of troops protecting the grain and grass, this is very important, and even more important, he also has to know whether there are elite cavalry among the troops in front and behind the opponent's grain cart.

The chestnut belly took a long formation, and did not arrange cavalry on both sides of the grain cart to protect, which was beneficial to Zhao Kuo, but the problem was that this long array made the grain and grass carts too far apart and scattered with each other, so that Zhao Kuo had no way to attack all the grain and grass carts at the same time, which was not good for Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo finally found the cavalry of the Yan people after waiting for a long time, and the cavalry of the Yan people was responsible for patrolling the flanks, and they passed quickly, and the number was thousands.

The road was dusty, and Zhao Kuo understood that he had to attack the other party at night in order to succeed, otherwise, the opponent's cavalry would not be able to break the enemy with a quick rescue. At this time, Zhao Kuo's heart was much calmer, before he arrived, he had already observed all the roads, and the other party's road, unfortunately, was the only road in Zhao that was well maintained, and there was no dense forest, or dangerous road to set up an ambush.

Zhao Kuo led everyone to slowly retreat, came to the depths of the dense forest, and then looked at the knight on the side and said: "Please go to Shancheng quickly, convey my order, let them abandon the city and return to Bairen, just say that Ma Fuzi is about to arrive in Bairen, I will meet the enemy there, let them take all the food, and not leave it for the Yan people!" The knight hurriedly agreed, and Zhao Kuo commanded: "Then you go back to the army, let them rest and practice in Bairen, and wait for my order." ”

"General... Shancheng is a very important city, if this place is also taken by the Yan people, the Yan people can only kill Handan directly, how can this be abandoned? Zhao Fu hurriedly asked, Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "Shancheng is a dangerous place, but there is no place to ambush around, please don't ask more, I have my own way." Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Fu could only take orders and say no more.

And at this moment, the general of the Yan State, Li Bei, also encountered a lot of difficulties, and he had never encountered such a thing since he attacked the Zhao State. The people of Zhao are crazy, this is a big problem, since the last time there was a large-scale rebellion of the Zhao people in Song Zicheng, there have been such situations in various places today, they shouted Ma Fuzi, and killed the Yan people stationed there, and even, Jiumen City was once captured by the old and weak of Zhao State, and they killed hundreds of Yan people stationed there.

Chestnut belly was in a hurry, he never thought that in the land of Zhao without soldiers stationed, he would encounter such stubborn resistance, the old and weak of Zhao State buried wells, deliberately burned grain, destroyed city defenses, and attacked the soldiers of Yan State, they did everything they could, and they tried everything they couldn't. In just a few days, it caused great losses to the army of Yan State, and the rear defense was in an emergency, so Li Belly could only send elite cavalry to the rescue and suppress the people everywhere.

The chestnut belly, who has always been reluctant to kill the people, can only harden his heart at this moment and threaten the rest of the Zhao people with brutal suppression, but this has not played much role, the Zhao people have a banner, and they are no longer afraid of death.

After a day of rapid marching, at night, the chestnut belly did not even have an order, many soldiers couldn't help but camp and rest, many of the troops after the chestnut belly of the Chinese army, some stopped to rest, some were still marching, making it extremely chaotic, chestnut belly still issued an order to rest, and then ordered: "Recently, there have been many Zhao people attacking the Yan army, so that the scouts are vigilant, patrol back and forth, beware!" ”

Chestnut sat in the tent and sighed, this horse is not an opponent to be underestimated, just his name, has such power, so what did he send this messenger for? Is it deliberately showing weakness to yourself? Let your guard down? Chestnut frowned, and thought about it seriously, as the minister of Yan Kingdom, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was a very smart person.

But the news he first got from Handan, the news from the messenger is the same, there is no doubt that Zhao Kuo only has a few thousand old and weak, of course, it may be tens of thousands, but it is true that he is not elite enough, could it be that he wants to let himself slack, and then the whole army quickly rushes to Shancheng, ready to meet him? Chestnut stroked his beard, thinking seriously, alas, he was still old, and his mind was not as clear as before.

What exactly is he trying to do? Chestnut never figured it out, but he still felt that he needed to be more vigilant, and he asked people to strengthen the defense of each battalion.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo rode a horse, looking at the little Mars in the distance, the Yan people had already begun to set up camp to rest, they surrounded the carriage in a circle, and the soldiers rested in the circle, at the same time, there were also a lot of cavalry patrolling back and forth, bonfires were lit everywhere, the Yan people's army was very scattered, and the distance between the front and back completely exceeded the march, but there were no generals to blame.

Zhao Kuo just waited quietly.

Gradually, there was no longer a noise in the Yan army camp, and those cavalry, just pretending to inspect once, got off the horse and went to play, yes, they were indeed playing, even those soldiers were gathered together, playing games such as throwing pots, throwing stones, etc., military discipline was quite sloppy, and the orders of chestnut belly would not be carried out by the soldiers at the bottom at all, and the generals of Yan lived in the camp tent, and the camp was filled with the smell of wine, accompanied by the screams of the women of Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo slowly pulled out the short sword from his waist, Zhao Fu handed him the torch from behind, he held the torch in one hand and the sword in the other, and asked calmly: "Second and third sons, have you taken all the wine bags given by King Zhao?" ”

"Got it!"

"What I commanded before, have the second and third sons memorized?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, please follow me and burn all the grain and grass of the Yan people!"

"Yui!!"
