Chapter 160: Don't Stand on This Filth
Zhao Kuo did not give an accurate answer to Yang Duanhe's question, he said: You should ask these soldiers about this question.
Zhao Kuo looked at Yutu, now he is no longer a rookie who has just come here, at least when formulating the marching route, he will no longer need others to help, but even so, he still gathered among the young generals and asked their opinions. This rescue of South Korea seemed easy, but Zhao Kuo didn't dare to relax at all, after all, he was still against Bai Qi's terrible opponent.
In the previous war, relying on the help of Lian Po and Wei Wuji, and the number of Zhao people who exceeded the number of the other party, they fought with all their might, so they barely repelled Bai Qi, and even broke it, the casualty gap between the two sides was not large, and Bai Qi was still the attacker, which could already make Zhao Kuo see the huge gap between himself and Bai Qi, if it weren't for Bai Qi's soldiers to stay in Changping, and he also scored troops to attack, I was afraid that Zhao Kuo would have been killed by him a long time ago.
In addition, if you count the Wei army that was annihilated by Bai Qi... Then the Zhao-Wei coalition army was a fiasco... After all, the Wei army was annihilated by the beating.
Bai Qi is probably the most outstanding general of this era, and he is the ceiling of today's generals. After the war, Zhao Kuo collected a lot of information about Bai Qi, his record, and his style of play, because he knew that he would fight this opponent again sooner or later, and if he wanted to block him, he had to understand him, but the more he understood, the more frightened Zhao Kuo became. Bai Qi was entrusted with a heavy task for the first time, and he relied on a force far less than the other party, and he was stunned to completely annihilate the other party and kill Han Wei's 240,000 army.
He attacked the state of Chu three times, and won all three times, probably killing 350,000 people in the state of Chu, he attacked the state of Wei and Korea, and almost killed two or three hundred thousand people, attacked the state of Zhao, killed more than 300,000 people, and captured more than 70 cities, and never tasted a single failure... It can't be said that Bai Qi is so strong because of Qin's strong national strength, because Qin also has famous generals other than him, but the achievements of these famous generals are completely incomparable to him.
It can only be said that the system of the Qin State has created a terrible war machine, or in other words, a general who is most suitable for the Qin State is exactly in the Qin State.
Bai Qi's style of play is fast, he doesn't like confrontation, often by forcing the opponent to move, and then find out the flaw, encircle and annihilate, and smash the Yellow Dragon, his calculation ability, or logical thinking ability is very amazing, when deploying tactics, he can calculate the opponent's next step, and deploy in advance. Lian Po told Zhao Kuo that in the Battle of Yique, Bai Qi fought against Han Wei's 240,000 army with 100,000 troops, and he attacked with less than half of his troops and was completely annihilated.
He predicted in advance the danger of the other party's escape route, sent troops to hold the key points, and was not afraid of the enemy's death counterattack, what kind of self-confidence and calculation ability was this?
Lian Po also admires his opponent very much.
Zhao Kuo was very worried, but these young generals under his command were not afraid at all, they believed that following Zhao Kuo would be able to capture Bai Qi alive. Zhao Bu got up and said: "Please send troops to Guguan to force Bai Qi to return to the army, we will set up an ambush halfway...", Zhao Kuo was stunned for a long time before he let him sit down, he shook his head a little helplessly, and was about to speak, when he saw a tall general walking in.
The person who came was Le Jian, and Uncle Le, who was standing among the students around, his eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but he stopped, and Le Jian didn't look at his son again, as if he didn't notice him, Zhao Kuo hurriedly got up, and wanted him to sit on the top position, but Le Jian refused, so he sat next to him. Sima Shang was in Yanmen, the same as Li Mu, while Tian Yue was training in Daijun, and Lian Po was training in Handan...
Lejian is the title of Shangqing, but there is no place for him to train soldiers and horses, so he was sent by King Zhao to help Zhao Kuo, King Zhao's meaning is to let him serve as Zhao Kuo's deputy, he is still a little worried, whether Lejian will be unwilling, if Lejian is angry, he can let the two of them each bring 10,000 elites, regardless of up and down, but King Zhao did not expect that Lejian agreed, and the promise was very neat, and he was willing to obey Zhao Kuo's orders.
Zhao Kuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Zhao Bu, and instead of answering his suggestion, he asked, "Why did Qin send troops to Korea?" Zhao Bu was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "What does this have to do with our war?" ”
"Of course it is, I heard that war is a continuation of politics."
"Politics? What is politics? Zhao Bu continued to ask, and the surrounding generals also looked at each other, only Lejian, his eyes flashed with different colors, staring at Zhao Kuo intently, and the students around him were all standing on tiptoe, Yang Duanhe subconsciously felt that it was time for him to pick up the bamboo slips, and he was about to look for it, when he saw Han Fei on the side raising his pen and staring at Zhao Kuo in front of him.
Yang Duanhe was stunned... What a big brother...
Zhao Kuo thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Politics is a country's strategy, and it is the goal that a country wants to achieve. Is it to avenge the King of Qin? Or is it for something else? Zhao Kuo asked, and Le Jian suddenly replied: "Their purpose is the Chu State." ”
"Yes, the purpose of their troops to South Korea is to break up the alliance, mainly to deal with the Chu State, if the Chu State does not send troops to help, the alliance will collapse, if the Chu State sends troops, then they will give the Chu State a huge blow... So, now that the State of Chu has sent troops, how will they choose to attack the State of Chu? ”
"Annihilate the elite of Xiang Xian, or, send troops to attack the cities of Chu."
Zhao Kuo nodded, then looked at everyone and said: "What we have to do is to avoid Xiang being annihilated first, forcing Qin to fail to achieve its strategic intentions, as long as it can be achieved, we will be considered victorious, if we can't achieve it, no matter how many people we kill, we will be defeated, this is war." However, I don't want to cause a lot of casualties, and it's best that we can avoid fighting and get Bai Qi to retreat..."
There may not be many people who can realize this, but only Zhao Kuo can summarize them and form a system. At this moment, the disciples remembered that they had come to Zhao Kuo to learn the art of war, is this Ma Fujun's art of war? Strategies to undermine the enemy? Reach your own strategy? They didn't seem to understand, but Lejian's eyes were just approving, nodding from time to time.
Soon, he and Zhao Kuo formulated a strategy for sending troops, because of the Battle of Changping, the Qin State occupied Shangdang, and Yewang had already been taken by Bai Qi, so Zhao and Korea were separated by the Qin State, and there were two ways to send troops, through Shangdang and through Yewang, and Lejian suggested that it was better to rush to Xinzheng from Shangdang, although the road may be farther, but from here, you can reduce the chance of being ambushed, because Yewang This road will encounter the Qin people in Hanoi.
Shangdang has just been captured by the Qin people, and now there are not many Qin people who have migrated, and the army that Shangdang County Lieutenant can recruit will not be too much, but Hanoi is different, most of the hundreds of thousands of Qin Zhuang who fought with Bai Qi before came from Hanoi, and now they are farming in Hanoi, if Zhao Kuo leads the army past them, these farmers can transform into elite Qin warriors at any time, and it is impossible for these 20,000 elites to rush to South Korea alive.
The road to the party is not very smooth, but the wild king is the plain, on the plain, if the chariot of the Qin State is dispatched.... Even harassment can make Zhao Jun collapse.
Zhao Kuo seriously talked to Le Jian about how to deal with Bai Qi, and the few Qin State disciples standing beside them were even more embarrassed at the moment, especially Yang Duanhe, he felt that he should go out, but he didn't want to miss the teacher's teaching, but he was afraid that the teacher would suspect that he would pass on the marching deployment to the Qin State, so should he pass the teacher's marching deployment back to Xian?
Without waiting for Yang Duanhe to hesitate for too long, Zhao Kuo discussed with Le Jian the strategy of sending troops, which made the various departments prepare for the march.
When Yang Duanhe was still entangled, the army had already been drawn, this time Zhao Kuo traveled, King Zhao did not come to see him off, it was not that King Zhao no longer loved him, but King Zhao was entangled by Wei Wuji, the problem of the local official system that Zhao Kuo said before, as well as the history of the assassination supervision system, Wei Wuji after thinking for a long time, finally decided to implement, if it succeeded, this is the credit of Ma Fujun, if it fails, then it is considered that his villain is a hindrance.
What's more, if such a supervision system is to be implemented, it will definitely offend many people, just the hateful gaze of those ministers and nobles on him now made Wei Wuji make up his mind, he will definitely not let Zhao Kuo participate in these things, he is not suitable, and he should not stand on this dirty. King Zhao listened to Wei Wuji's suggestion helplessly, he didn't want to monitor his talents in his heart, this was an insult to the talents, it would force them away, right?
Wei Wuji was very resolute, he said: "The lord wants to accept the virtuous, it is inevitable that there will be little ginseng mixed in the virtuous, fooling the king, Ma Fujun's disciple Han Fei once told me a story, he said: King Qi Xuan likes to listen to Zhu, invited more than 300 people to play for him, Mr. Nan Guo asked to play for him, King Xuan was very happy, this gentleman mixed in hundreds of people, got rewarded, after King Xuan died, Wang Li, he liked to listen to solo, Mr. because he was afraid of being exposed, so he fled. ”
"Nowadays, there are many virtuous people in Zhao Kingdom, and the music you hear is also played by those who can play it, but among them, it is inevitable that there are people like Mr. Nan Guo, do you want to let such people wander in Zhao Kingdom? What he has to do is not to play, but to govern the place, how can Zhao State become strong if such a person governs the place? People who really play, seeing such a villain caught, will only be happy and not annoyed. ”
Listening to Wei Wuji's persuasion, King Zhao hesitated for a long time, but still agreed to Wei Wuji, however, he still wanted Wei Wuji to guarantee that he would not dispose of officials at will without going through himself, and the supervisors could not check those talents on the surface, but should pay more attention to their political achievements, so that they could set up a banquet to entertain them, for these requests of King Zhao, Wei Wuji agreed, and when the two talked about this matter, King Zhao hurriedly walked out of the palace.
However, it was too late, and Ma Fujun had already left.
King Zhao looked at Wei Wuji who came out, wanted to scold him, hesitated for a moment, and then walked back to the palace angrily.
Wei Wuji smiled casually, then got into the carriage, took a sip of wine, and said, "Go home." The carriage drove slowly towards the courtyard, and there were many doormen around him, and when he met these people, the people on the road avoided them one after another, just because of Wei Wuji's bad reputation, the people who had not read the books did not know who was right and who was wrong, and the nobles' doormen would soon be accepted by these people as long as they told a little rumor about Wei Wuji.
Of course, this is also a person, Wei Wuji is a Wei person, and the people don't know much about him, if someone maliciously insults Ma Fujun like this, I am afraid that he will be arrested by the people and sent to the official. And those officials who are eager to become friends with Ma Fujun will not easily let go of the wicked people who spread such rumors. Wei Wuji didn't care about these hostile or fearful glances, he just drank his wine comfortably, thinking about the implementation of the policy.
"Bang~~", the carriage suddenly made a strange sound, the driver was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to rein in the horse, at this moment, the wheel on the left side of the carriage broke instantly, the carriage overturned, Wei Wuji also fell, several people around hurriedly rushed over, pedestrians on the road shouted, and surrounded them, the doormen hurriedly lifted the carriage, and dragged out Wei Wuji, who was pressed by the carriage, Wei Wuji looked still trembling, and his face was a little pale.
The driver stood in front of him uneasily, picked up the short sword and was about to commit suicide, Wei Wuji hurriedly persuaded him, and told him to check the carriage carefully, the driver stopped, he carefully checked the various places of the carriage, and then said angrily to Wei Wuji: "Master of the family, someone has destroyed the carriage!" I'm trying to kill you!! Wei Wuji asked for a drink from the doorman, took a sip, then shook his head and led everyone back to the mansion.
Wei Wuji returned to the courtyard, and did not mention the matter of the carriage, but just smiled and drank with the guests, as if he had forgotten all the things about Fang Cai, in the dead of night, a carriage drove into Wei Wuji's courtyard, the people in the carriage secretly walked down, looked around, and under the leadership of Hou Ying, walked into the inner room, Wei Wuji had already set up a banquet, waiting for him, the man walked into the inner room, only to see his face clearly.
This person is the imperial history of Zhao Guo, Zhao Hui.
"Imperial History..."
"Xinling-kun!" , Zhao Hui smiled, hurriedly saluted Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji let him sit in front of him, the two of them greeted each other like old friends, and talked for a long time, Wei Wuji took out a treasure box and put it in front of him, inside the box, it was a delicate jade, Zhao Hui picked up the jade, looked a little embarrassed, and said: "What do you have to say, why do you need to give any gifts?" ”
Wei Wuji laughed and said, "After I arrived in Zhao Kingdom, you also helped me a lot, this is just my gratitude to my friend, please accept it." ”
Zhao Hui accepted the treasure and asked, "Is there anything important that you suddenly asked people to call me?" ”
"Today, someone deliberately damaged my carriage and wanted my life..."
"What? There is such a traitor?! Zhao Hui stood up angrily and bowed to Wei Wuji, and then said, "Please rest assured... Within three days, I will find this man. Wei Wuji didn't speak, just smiled, the two chatted for a long time, Zhao Hui returned, and Wei Wuji also sent other gifts, asking Zhao Hui to give these gifts to other friends, and Zhao Hui also agreed.
After sending Zhao Hui away, Wei Wuji squinted his eyes and laughed.
Compared with an upright person like Yu Qing, he prefers a money-hungry villain like Zhao Hui, after all, villains can be bought, and Wei Wuji has never been short of money.
