Bai Qi has always liked to arrange every step before acting.

He defeated Lian Po, and when he entered the Zhao land, he did not carry all the main forces to attack together, and in various parts of Shangdang, the Qin State also had a group of main elites. In Zhao Di, Bai Qi's soldiers only had more than 200,000 soldiers, and Wang Qi's partial division had 100,000 elites, and when Bai Qi realized that these 100,000 people might be in danger, he thought of a way to get rid of Lian Po and Wei Wuji and came to support.

The loss of 100,000 elites, even for the Qin State, is a major event, and if the partial division is destroyed, then Bai Qi will have to face Zhao Kuo, Lian Po, and Wei Wuji alone, and the Zhao-Wei coalition will have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, especially these three generals are not mediocre. He needed enough numbers to be at his beck, and he had to defeat these three enemies.

Through the change of guard with Meng Fu, a time difference between Wei Wuji and Lian Po, he successfully got rid of the two of them and rushed to Wu'an. It's just that when he arrived, it was a very embarrassing point in time, if he could come some time earlier, he might be able to attack the Zhao army with Wang Di, he could see that the shortcomings of Zhao Kuo's left and right flank generals were very obvious, and the two of them together would definitely be able to defeat the main force of Zhao State.

By the time he arrived, Wang's troops had been crippled, they had been besieged outside Wu'an, fought for three days, suffered heavy casualties, and most importantly, the morale of the army was shaken, and it seemed that they had despaired. And the despicable Zhao Kuo directly opened the encirclement, driving these desperate soldiers to stop the charge of Bai Qi's army, and when Bai Qi placed the rout, Zhao Kuo had already begun to tentatively attack.

Bai Qi believed at this time that the main force of Zhao State had experienced several days of fierce fighting, and it was a tired army, and although his soldiers were in a hurry, they did not encounter any battles, and they could fight.

However, the Zhao army showed an amazing fighting spirit, Bai Qi had never seen such a tenacious will in the Zhao people, the original Zhao army, in the face of the Qin army that was not afraid of death, several rounds of arrows went down, and immediately fled. Now that Bai Qi's army has broken through from two directions, Zhao Kuo will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity and pursue it with all his might, but Bai Qi was ready as early as after he appeared.

First of all, he arranged his logistics troops in a dense forest not far away.

And the time when he appeared was also carefully selected by him, when Bai Qi was confident of annihilating the enemy, he usually chose to engage the enemy in the early morning, and without this confidence, when he was only tentatively attacking, he would choose the evening, because late at night, he was the natural enemy of war. There were a great number of the soldiers, who could not see anything after nightfall, and were completely blind, even when the bonfires were lit.

This is the terrible thing about Bai Qi, he can treat everything as his own soldiers, and in his eyes, everything is war.

Therefore, in the dense forest in the distance, the war drums of the Qin people were heard, and when the sky was getting dark, Zhao Kuo ordered to stop the pursuit of Bai Qi, the soldiers could not pursue at night, and he was also worried that he would encounter Bai Qi's ambush. The generals of Zhao State hurriedly gathered the soldiers, and Zhao Kuo also hurriedly arranged for people to treat the wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

Zhao Kuo hurriedly walked into the courtyard, and he could hear Di's pig-like cry from afar, and heard Di's roar so powerfully, Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, Di was lying on the bed, and Zhao Fu was sitting on the side, wiping something on his back, seeing Zhao Kuo walk in, Zhao Fu was about to salute, but Zhao Kuo shook his head, sat directly on the side, and asked, "How is Di?" ”

"He's got two layers of armor, but it's just a little bit of skin, and it's fine." , Zhao Fu shook his head helplessly, he was a dignified guest of the Plains King, a warrior on the battlefield, and now he has become the "medical saint" by Zhao Kuo's side, after killing the enemy on the battlefield, he has to come back to save people, Zhao Fu can only sigh that the world is impermanent, he never thought that one day he would have such attainments in medicine.

What Zhao Fu is applying now is an herb that can stop bleeding.

Di raised his head, looked at Zhao Kuo, and asked with a smile, "Shaojun, when are we going home?" ”

Zhao Fu snorted coldly and said, "Why, before you get married, you start to miss your hometown?" ”

Zhao Kuo looked at him and said with a smile: "You still don't understand Di, Di is anxious to tell the villagers the story of his heroic rescue on the battlefield." As Zhao Kuo was talking, he saw an old man hurriedly breaking into the courtyard, "Di! "Di!! The person who came was Ge, the blood stains on Ge's body had not been wiped yet, his voice trembled a little, and he staggered into the courtyard.

At that moment, Di suddenly lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.

Ge walked into the room, looking at Di who was motionless on the bed, Zhao Kuo clearly saw that the old man's eyes were red, he walked to Di's side, glanced at Zhao Kuo, and then looked at Zhao Fu, his lips trembled, he couldn't speak for a long time, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, and quickly left a conspicuous white mark on his bloodstained face, Zhao Kuo frowned, and slapped Di on the head.

"Hey~~", Di was in pain, hurriedly raised his head, and asked with some annoyance: "Shaojun, I was injured, and you still beat me!" ”

Seeing Di raise his head, Ge was furious and scolded angrily: "You barbarian, why haven't you died yet?!" ”

........

Zhao Kuo didn't stay here for too long, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

In Wu'an City, the wounded soldiers were still moaning in pain, Zhao Kuo was not a doctor, he knew about disinfection, but he didn't know how to disinfect, alcohol seemed to be okay? But can you really drink wine that doesn't even burn? High temperatures seem to work too? Zhao Kuo was still not in a hurry to splash these wounded soldiers with wine, he found a doctor and discussed with them whether the knife used to get arrows could be burned with fire first.

He told the physician that this was the knowledge he had seen in ancient books, and that it might be useful, and that he told the healer that he could wipe the wound with water, and that it was better for the healer to bathe himself, and of course, this was also the knowledge he had seen in the ancient books.

What is the gap between Zhao and Qin?

Qin's troops had special military doctors who were responsible for treating wounded soldiers and preventing plagues. In Zhao's troops, there were no professional doctors, and the wounded soldiers of Zhao usually had to find some people who knew how to heal from the recruited soldiers, and the other was Wu, who healed the wounded soldiers through dancing and blessings. Zhao Kuo is generally reluctant to come to the wounded soldiers, he is a kind person, every time he sees these dying people, his heart is always very sad.

Those who were pierced by spears, or slashed, or even trampled on, unless they were critically injured, it was difficult for them to die, they usually struggled in pain for a long time, and the doctors had no way to save them, they could only watch them suffer a great pain, wailing, begging their colleagues to help them, let themselves die quickly, don't let themselves be so painful, all night, Zhao Kuo was helping to deal with these wounded soldiers.

For those who are about to die, Zhao Kuo will tell him that he must take care of his family.

And for those who are still being rescued, Zhao Kuo will tell him: You will definitely survive, and I will bless you.

There are all kinds of life, it seems that it can be seen most clearly among the wounded soldiers, there are those who cry and just want to die, there are those who laugh at those colleagues who died safely, there are those who beg Zhao Kuo to save themselves, there are those who curse everything and abuse everything, and more, there are those who lie on the sickbed weakly, chanting the names of their families. In the early hours of the morning, the exhausted Zhao Kuofang left the eastern city where the wounded soldiers were gathered.

The careful and cautious Tian Yue sent many knights to investigate the news of the Qin people.

And Li Mu, he became very silent, this arrogant young man, thought that it was his fault that caused Bai Qi to escape, he blamed himself incomparably, all night, he was standing on the city wall, looking into the distance, not saying a word, refusing to rest, Zhao Kuo found him on the city wall. Walking to his side, Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh, looked at the blood outside the city that had no way to wash it off, and said, "Do you know this person Gou Jian?" ”

"I know."

"At the beginning, the king of Yue was defeated by the king of Wu, the king of Yue served the king of Wu for three years, herding cattle and sheep, suffered humiliation, after returning to China, he swore revenge, he was afraid that he would covet a comfortable life, and consumed the ambition of revenge, at night pillow weapons, sleeping on the straw pile, he also hung a bitter gall in the room, every morning after getting up to taste the bitter gall, according to his orders, every day, the soldiers outside the door will ask him: have you forgotten the shame of three years?"

"He personally went to the fields to work with the farmers, and his wife also spun and weaved, and after ten years, the Yue Kingdom became strong and defeated the Wu State."

Zhao Kuo said, and then asked, "Do you suffer more shame than Gou Jian suffers?" ”

"Not really."

"Is your enemy more powerful and higher in status than Goujian's enemy?"

"Not really."

"Then why don't you follow Gou Jian's example, work hard, fight hard, and take revenge on Baiqi, but stand alone on this city wall, feeling sorry for yourself?"

Li Mu lowered his head, clenched his fists, looked at Zhao Kuo firmly, and said, "I will definitely defeat Bai Qi." Zhao Kuo smiled, then left here, the scouts sent by Tian Yue came back a lot, Zhao Kuo needed to know Bai Qi's latest movements, according to the scout's instructions, Bai Qi seemed to be retreating in the direction of Danshui, Zhao Kuo left the soldiers who defended the city in both the eldest son and Lucheng, and he was not worried that Bai Qi would attack at all.

He first sent his soldiers to contact Lian Po and Wei Wuji before continuing to rest here, as the soldiers had experienced a great battle and needed to rest.

This battle, Zhao Kuo also doesn't know, whether it can be counted as a victory, the two sides of the battle, Zhao Kuo commanded an army of more than 100,000 people for the first time, plus Wu'an City, and the garrison of the Great Wall, Zhao Kuo has 180,000 soldiers, and on Bai Qi's side, plus Wang Di's partial division, the total strength is 140,000. The first was the battle with Wang Di, and after three days of fighting, Wang Di's 90,000 soldiers left nearly 40,000 corpses outside the city of Wu'an.

In the same way, he also bit off a large piece of meat from Zhao Kuo's body, and the casualties of the Zhao army exceeded 30,000, which was comparable to the Qin people.

Then there were 150,000 soldiers to fight against Bai Qi and Wang Di's rout, with 100,000 people.

This time the battle was not long, but the battle was unexpectedly tragic.

The two sides each left another 30,000 or 40,000 corpses, Bai Qi withdrew from the battlefield with the remnants of more than 60,000 soldiers, and Zhao Kuo here, with more than 100,000 soldiers who can fight to rest, the casualties on both sides are equal, this is not the expected big victory, at most it can be regarded as a tragic victory, Wu'an City, has become a huge tomb, more than 100,000 people on both sides died here, Zhao Kuo's soldiers buried for a day without sleep, and did not let these soldiers all enter the ground.

Behind these hundreds of thousands of people, there may be a million tearful relatives.

When Sima Shang came to report the casualties, Zhao Kuo was stunned for a long time.

After a four-day rest, the scout brought back Lianpo's letters.

In the letter, Lian Po explained in detail the reason why Bai Qi appeared in Wu'an City, in addition, he also told him about the battle with the Qin general Meng Biao, Meng Biao and the two of them were entangled for a long time, a few days ago, it seemed that he had received some order, and hurriedly evacuated the battlefield, and found out from the urgent report from Zhongmu that he was rushing in the direction of Danshui, in addition, it was to congratulate Zhao Kuo on his victory.

Victory?

Zhao Kuo looked at the bamboo slip in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

The soldiers who had rested for a few days set off again, the goal was Danshui, and Lian Po, who was stationed in Boyang, was also sending troops, and he had to go to Zhongmu first, and then transfer to Danshui. Even if he repelled Bai Qi once, but Zhao Kuo still didn't dare to be careless, all the way to the mountain, he was cautious to march, scouts continued to appear in various places, to find out the latest situation, Zhao Kuo advanced all the way, occasionally encountered the rout of the Qin people, and captured a lot.

It seems that Bai Qi did not succeed in evacuating with everyone.

Zhao Kuo's main army was in a plain near Danshui, and officially joined forces with Lian Po and others.

The two sides joined forces after a long time, among these soldiers, there were fellow villagers, and even fathers and sons in the same room, brothers, but Lian Po was worried about Bai Qi's attack, and the soldiers were not allowed to move around at will, so when Lian Po's army was stationed aside, the soldiers on both sides poked their heads out of the tent, shouted to each other, and asked about the safety of their relatives, but Lian Po took Gongzi Wuji and many generals to walk towards Zhao Kuo's camp.

Zhao Kuo also took Tian Yue, Li Mu and other generals, as well as his own guests, to greet him.

The two groups met on the road, General Lian Po looked very excited, the first time he saw Zhao Kuo, he just smiled, hurriedly walked up, grabbed Zhao Kuo's hands, General Lian Po experienced such a sinister battle, but he didn't look a little tired, his voice was still loud, "I knew that Ma Fujun could defeat Bai Qi, but I didn't expect that you could defeat him so quickly!" ”

Zhao Kuo smiled and didn't say much about the war, just asked if Lian Po's body was still healthy.

Lian Po chatted with him, Wei Wuji looked at this long-known Ma Fujun on the side, when he was still in Xinling, he often heard all kinds of rumors about Ma Fujun, saying that he was a benevolent and righteous person, and his reputation was soon comparable to that of Pingyuan Jun, and he became a sage of Zhao State.

During the war, he saw Ma Fujun's talent again.

Now, he really sees the real Ma Fujun.

This is a handsome young man, he smiles very well, but there is always a sadness between his eyebrows, there is no joy or pride in his eyes, only a touch of sadness, this is a worried young man, deep in pain and unable to extricate himself. Lian Po finally brought Zhao Kuo to Wei Wuji, and Zhao Kuo also looked at this famous sage of Wei.

Xin Lingjun is older than him, and he does not have the luxury of the so-called son, but he has a ranger-like pride, the two saluted and greeted, Wei Wuji said with a smile: "After I came to Zhao Kingdom, I listened to your good name from the mouths of others every day, and I had the opportunity to meet you today, so I knew that they were not lying. Zhao Kuo shook his head humbly, and complimented Wei Wuji a few more words, and then walked back to the camp with them.

As soon as he entered the camp, Lian Po didn't even have time to inquire about the battle situation, Zhao Kuo said: "Now is the time when Bai Qi is the weakest, and the several large armies under his command have just experienced a crushing defeat and a rapid march, and they just took advantage of this opportunity to drive him out of Danshui and force him back to the party." ”

Lian Po hesitated for a moment before he said: "I think that his army should be annihilated in Zhao Land, if he is allowed to return to the party, there will be no way to defeat him again." ”

"Now is the season to sow ... The war cannot be delayed any longer. ”

"How should we live if we insist on destroying the army of Bai Qi, not to mention how many soldiers we will kill and wound, even the people in the country?"
