Chapter 548: Two "Surprises" Heard by Zhao Dan (Fourth Update)
The news of the loss of Pujindu was only returned to Handan three days later.
As soon as he heard the news, Zhao Dan couldn't help but slam the table.
"Damn, it's so damnable!"
Part of Zhao Dan's anger was directed at the general of the Northern Army, who had sworn in advance, but it turned out that he had not done his duty, but more of it was aimed at himself.
That's white, white!
Courtiers can be underestimated, but how can a time-traveler take this famous super commander in history and even regarded by many as the number one god of war in history lightly because of a victory?
Isn't this guy Bai Qi always the best at winning by surprise?
Zhao Dan took a few deep breaths hard, trying to lower the temperature of his chest, which was almost bursting due to anxiety and anger, a little bit, and then slowly calmed down.
Is there really the kind of person in this world who has no last resort, does not make any mistakes in any step of the plan, and everything develops according to his expectations?
Absolutely nothing.
If someone is really able to do this, then that person is no longer a human being, but a true "god".
After calming down, Zhao Dan opened his mouth and said to several important ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "All the ministers have told the widow, how should this matter be resolved now?" ”
Xiangbang Zhao Sheng was the first to speak: "King, you must immediately send reinforcements to support Ju Xin, otherwise Hedong will be in danger!" ”
Zhao Dan nodded with a calm face and said, "Of course the widow knows this!" When the widow is waiting, he will issue an order, so that the county soldiers of Jinyang and Shangdang counties can gather as quickly as possible and gallop to the aid of Hedong County! ”
Jinyang and Shangdang are the two closest Zhao territories to Hedong County.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Dan to give up Hedong County, since the Qin people are here, then the widow will mobilize troops to beat these nasty Qin people back!
Hearing this, a trace of excitement suddenly flashed in Pang Xuan's eyes, and he hurriedly spoke: "King, this Bai Qi has brought a full 200,000 troops, and even if Ju Xin has the support of the county soldiers of the two counties of Shangdang, the strength in his hands is only about 110,000 or 20,000 people, I am afraid that it is not enough to resist Bai Qi's offensive." In the opinion of the ministers, it is still necessary to quickly dispatch elite soldiers and horses from Handan to help Hedong. ”
Zhao Dan thought for a while and agreed with Pang Xuan's opinion: "So in Pang Qing's opinion, how many soldiers and horses should be deployed?" ”
Pang Xuan hurriedly said: "King, the minister thinks that 50,000 elite soldiers should be dispatched to support Hedong immediately!" ”
Zhao Dan calculated that now there are a total of 200,000 troops in the north and south of Zhao State, Lian Po took away 120,000, and 30,000 county soldiers formed a 150,000 army to attack Chu State, so now there are a full 80,000 central army in Handan City.
Zhao Dan gritted his teeth and said to Pang Xuan: "The widow has decided, so he will transfer 60,000 elite soldiers, and then recruit young and strong soldiers from Lingshou, Hejian and other counties to form 100,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Hedong together!" ”
With these 100,000 people, then the soldiers and horses of Zhao State in Hedong County will reach between 21 and 220,000, which is already on par with the Qin army led by Bai Qi in terms of quantity.
Of course, quantity does not represent combat effectiveness, which Zhao Dan still knows very well in his heart.
However, after all, the Qin State was also defeated by the Zhao State many times in succession, and its combat effectiveness could not be compared with the Great Qin Lion during the Battle of Changping.
So Zhao Dan felt that in such a situation, the odds of both sides should be about the same, five or five.
Then Zhao Dan also needs a general Zhao who can calm the scene and delay Bai Qi's footsteps.
So Zhao Dan naturally set his eyes on Pang Xuan, the only Zhao ** Fang heavy-duty minister present.
Pang Xuan naturally understood what Zhao Dan meant, and immediately got up and said respectfully: "The king, the minister is willing to lead the army to help Hedong County to relieve the king's worries!" ”
Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Pang Qing will be the main general and rush to the aid of Hedong!" ”
To be honest, Zhao Dan didn't have any bottom in his heart about whether Pang Xuan could withstand Bai Qi's sharp offensive.
But in the current situation, Pang Xuan is indeed the most reliable general that Zhao Dan can mobilize.
Therefore, after Zhao Dan gave the order, he did not forget to advise: "Pang Qingru must remember when he goes, don't fight with Na Bai for a while, as long as the war on the Chu side is over, the widow will naturally give the people of Qin a good look!" ”
We must distinguish priorities in doing things, and in the current war, the war on the side of Chu is the most important thing. As long as the people of Chu are solved, then the people of Qin will not be a problem.
It's really not good, just take South Korea and Wei to fight this Qin State again!
Regarding Zhao Dan's order, Pang Xuan naturally responded respectfully.
It was at this time that Mixian suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside the main hall: "King, there is an urgent military situation!" ”
Zhao Dan's heart jumped as soon as he heard Mi Xian's words, could it be that something had changed in the direction of Hedong County? Hell, this speed is too fast.
But after Zhao Dan took over the urgent report in Mixian's hand, he found that what the urgent report said was not actually about Hedong County.
"Smack!" Zhao Dan slapped the urgent report in his hand on the table fiercely, his face was very pale.
Several ministers of Zhao around were taken aback by Zhao Dan's action, and they all looked at Zhao Dan with apprehension, not knowing why Zhao Dan suddenly lost his temper.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Zhao Dan knew that Hedong County had no such gaffe when he had an accident.
Zhao Dan took a deep breath, and said to the ministers of Zhao State in front of him with an angry face: "Yan State, you have already sent troops to attack Qi!" ”
The ministers of Zhao State were shocked at the same time when they heard this.
But immediately, the doubts in their hearts became even deeper.
To be honest, for the betrayal of Yan State, the ministers of Zhao State are actually mentally prepared.
Not only the Yan State, but even the Qi State, the Wei State, and the South Korean State, which are still fighting side by side with the Zhao State, will betray the Zhao State tomorrow, and these ministers will also have a certain psychological preparation.
In these days, betrayal is not commonplace?
But the problem is that the betrayal of a mere Yan Kingdom does not seem to have reached the point where it can affect the outcome of the entire battle, why is the king so angry?
Zhao Dan's anger was actually not understood by these ministers of Zhao State.
The source of this anger did not come from the betrayal of the Yan Kingdom, but from the failure of Zhao Dan's efforts to control the Yan Kingdom.
According to Zhao Dan's thoughts, since the historical Yan kings have now changed, and the supreme power of the Yan Kingdom is also controlled by a woman who died in seclusion in history and a man who has always been marginalized, then the Yan Kingdom should be changed.
But now, Empress Dowager Yan and Le Jian told Zhao Dan with facts that his conjecture was wrong.
Yan Guo did not become a loyal ally of Zhao State as Zhao Dan wished, but jumped up at this time and pulled Zhao Dan's hind legs by attacking Qi State.
Although the ruler of the Yan State has changed, the habit of pulling back the Zhao State has not changed at all!
When you try to change something, only to find that it is the process rather than the result that has changed, that kind of futile anger will naturally appear.
"Good, good." Zhao Dan nodded slightly, and his tone was full of anger: "Come on, send a messenger to Jidu immediately, the widow wants to see what kind of statement this Yan country wants to give the widow!" By the way, and tell Empress Yan that if she can't give the widow a satisfactory explanation, then the next time she goes to Jidu, it will not be the widow's envoy, but the widow's army! ”
Zhao Dan is not a person who will not fight back after being wronged.
Since Yan Guo dared to act like this at this time, then he had to have the consciousness to bear Zhao Dan's anger!
