Wang Jian and Li Qing sat opposite each other, while Meng Ying went to the side to play, she didn't seem to like staying with Wang Qian.

Wang Jian is over 70 years old this year, but he is still in good spirits, and his white hair does not affect Wang Qian's majestic temperament at all, and he is worthy of being one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

Wang Jian looked at Li Qing, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, although Wang Jian did not accept the old, but old is old after all, and Wang Jian has been feeling more and more powerless recently.

"The old man heard about your behavior in Bashu, yes, your use of the art of war is indeed beyond ordinary people."

Seeing an outstanding young talent like Li Qing, Wang Jian couldn't help but want to guide.

When Li Qing heard this, he said modestly: "The old general smiled, Li Qing is just lucky." ”

Wang Jian shook his head and said: "For the general, good luck is also a kind of ability, think at the beginning, the old man and the Qi country fought, the two sides have been deadlocked, but suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, and the Qi country camp was overwhelmed, the old man took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and broke the Qi country, you say, is luck very important?" ”

When Li Qing heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, luck was indeed a kind of strength.

Seeing that Li Qing recognized his statement, Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction, and then had some discussions with Li Qing.

Although Li Qing has not studied much on the art of war, Li Qing has also roughly read the thirty-six strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War in later generations, plus the recently obtained Wei Yi Art of War, although Li Qing's performance is not particularly good, he can answer more or less of Wang Qian's question.

The two of them talked about it until noon, Wang Jian looked at Li Qing and said, "Boy, you have such skills, it's too condescending to be a royal historian, why don't you recommend you to the army as a general?" ”

When Li Qing heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, Li Qing just wanted to have a peaceful life, but he didn't want to fight and kill every day, especially the national fortune of Qin was not long, Li Qing didn't dare to guarantee that after the death of Qin Shi Huang, Fusu would not regain the throne according to his own arrangement, then Liu Bang Xiang Yu would continue to make trouble, if they continued to make trouble, whether Great Qin would be able to defeat them, these are still unknown.

Wang Jian seems to be a little surprised, in Daqin, if you want to be promoted, the fastest is to join the army, and then make military achievements, Wang Jian is confident, with his own recommendation, Li Qing can easily gain a foothold in the army, coupled with the relationship between Li Qing and Mengshi, with the support of two major generals, Li Qing is in the army, it can be said that he is like a fish in water, Wang Jian really can't figure out why Li Qing refused.

Li Qing naturally couldn't say that he knew that Daqin was about to be in chaos, so he didn't want to go to the army, so Wang Jian was afraid that he would directly convict Li Qing of spreading rumors and causing trouble.

Li Qing just said that his martial arts were mediocre, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he was reluctant to go to the army.

Wang Jian frowned, looked at Li Qing angrily, and said: "A manly man, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death, the old man looks at your face, you don't look like a timid person, why are you so twisted and pinched?" ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "The old general is angry, Li Qing is not a little more important, it is really not the material to be a general, does the old general still remember that Zhao Kuo?" Li Qing, like Zhao Kuo, is just talking on paper. ”

Wang Jian had a strange face, suddenly laughed, and said: "Good boy, you actually compare yourself to Zhao Kuo, hahahaha, ambitious, ambitious." ”

Li Qing was stunned, how could he still be called ambitious compared to Zhao Kuo?

Seeing Li Qing's blank face, Wang Jian couldn't help but smile and said, "Li Qing, do you know who Zhao Kuo is?" ”

Li Qing nodded, and roughly told Zhao Kuo what he knew in the history books.

"Nonsense, nonsense."

After listening to this, Wang Jian said with disdain on his face, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Li Qing's words.

Wang Jian said: "The old man doesn't know who you know about Zhao Kuo from, but the old man can be sure that what you said is not right, Zhao Kuo is definitely a very strong opponent." ”

Li Qing's face was full of doubts, Wang Qian, actually said that Zhao Kuo was a very powerful opponent? But Zhao Kuo didn't lose to Bai Qi, causing hundreds of thousands of elites of Zhao Guo to be killed by Bai Qikeng, and Zhao Guo has been in a slump since then, all of this is because of Zhao Kuo.

Wang Jian seemed to see Li Qing's thoughts, and sighed: "Do you know that Wu Anjun has never tasted defeat in his life, even if he is Lian Po, Wu Anjun does not take it seriously, but there is only the Battle of Changping, which is the only time Wu Anjun is close to defeat." ”

Then, Wang Jian reopened the dusty history of the Battle of Changping for Li Qing.

In the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, in 261 BC, after the general of Qin Wang Rong captured Shangdang, Qin once again started the war against Zhao.

At that time, Qin and Zhao launched a fierce battle in Changping, and the veteran general Lian Po of Zhao set up three lines of defense to defend Changping, and Wang Yi could not attack for a long time, this battle has been fought for three years, and both sides have killed and injured each other.

On the surface, the two sides are evenly matched, but in fact, if it continues to be consumed, it must be Zhao who is defeated, because Zhao has no food, in three years, Zhao has consumed countless grains and grass, Zhao's national strength is not as good as Qin, Qin can be consumed, but Zhao can't.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kuo was ordered to replace Lian Po as the chief general of Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo is a very terrifying young man, his tactics, lies in an attack word, after Zhao Kuo arrived in Changping, a change from the defensive position set by Lian Po at the time, but took an offensive, under his leadership, the Zhao army broke out with strong combat effectiveness, General Wang Yi lost three battles and three defeats, and the Qin army retreated forty miles in a row before holding the rout.

General Wang Yi was defeated and chose to defend to the death, Zhao Kuo led the troops to cut off the grain and grass of the Qin army, forcing the Qin army to come out for a decisive battle, Wang Rong was helpless, led the troops to fight, and the two sides fought in Shangdang, this battle, Wang Rong lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and finally, led the soldiers and horses back to Shangdang County, and could not defend it.

Zhao surrounded Shangdang with a great victory, and the Qin army had no heart to fight, at this time, King Zhaoxiang had to transfer Wu Anjun and let Wu Anjun go to Shangdang to replace Wang Yi to lead the army.

After Bai played the party, he first had a tentative confrontation with Zhao Kuo, this battle, the two sides did not distinguish the winner or loser, Bai Qi no matter how he commanded the Qin army to attack, was intercepted by the Zhao army commanded by Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo's attack made the Qin army rout again and again, such a strong opponent, throughout Bai Qi's life, it was also the first time to encounter.

Bai Qi keenly sensed the danger, Zhao Kuo was only twenty years old, and he was already so good, once this person completely grew up, then for the Qin State, it would be a fatal hidden danger.

Bai Qi decided to nip the hidden danger in the bud, so he set a plan to lure the enemy, deliberately led troops to fight with Zhao Kuo, and then retreated all the way, lured the Zhao army to the Qin River, and then sent people to cut off the Zhao army's grain route and cut off the Zhao army's grain and grass.

When Li Qing heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "Speaking of which, this Zhao Kuo is indeed talking on paper, although he has some skills, but after all, it is all empty talk." ”

Wang Jian showed a wry smile on his face, and then said: "The world thinks that Zhao Kuo has fallen into Wu Anjun's plan, but in fact, Zhao Kuo is a plan, he wants to make the Qin army from a deception to a real defeat, as for the so-called grain road, at that time, Zhao Guo had long been out of grain and grass, and the grain and grass of the Zhao army at that time were all obtained by Zhao Kuo leading troops to loot the Qin army's grain road. ”

After the Zhao army arrived in Qinshui, he suddenly stopped paying attention to the defeated Qin army, but turned to Hanoi, and Zhao Kuo actually wanted to take the Zhao army into the hinterland of Qin.

At that time, the main force of the Qin army was in the Shangdang area to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the Qin country, Zhao Kuo was so frightened that the king of Zhaoxiang hurriedly recruited all the men over the age of fifteen in Daqin to enlist in the army, and went to Hanoi to resist the attack of the Zhao army, while urgently transferring Wu Anjun back to help Hanoi.

Just when King Zhaoxiang was preparing to defend Hanoi, Zhao Kuo set up an ambush and rushed to support the siege of the Qin army vanguard in Hanoi.

The two sides fought to the death, and the Zhao army was not afraid of death, and launched an attack on the Qin army one after another, and the Qin army fought and retreated, killing dozens of generals.

Speaking of this, Wang Jian showed emotion on his face, and said: "I Daqin poured all the strength of the whole country to hold on to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo was not only undefeated, but became more and more courageous, the Zhao army in the hands of Zhao Kuo, broke out with unimaginable combat effectiveness, Wu Anjun personally led the troops, and could only watch the Zhao army under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, back and forth to impact the Qin army formation, the Qin army soldiers were killed and wounded, if this development continues, perhaps, the Qin army will really be defeated in the hands of Zhao Kuo." ”
