Five days later, a meeting was held again in the main hall of Zhao Guolongtai.

This time, the eight hundred miles of urgent military information gathered from all over the country finally gave the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State a general understanding of the current situation.

Zhao Dan sat in the main hall and said to Lian Po in front of him: "Wu Xinjun, please tell me about the military information you just received." ”

Lian Po held the baton in his hand, stood on the giant map hanging next to the main hall with a very serious face, nodded to Zhao Dan first, and then said to several important ministers of Zhao in the main hall: "First of all, let's talk about the Qin State, Qin Wang Chu sent Wang Di as the main general, and led an army of 150,000 people from the Yin Jin City in Guanzhong, and now he is attacking Hangu Pass, it seems that he is obviously going to break through Hangu Pass, and then go east out of the Central Plains." ”

Everyone in the main hall was a little stunned when they heard Lian Po's words, and Zheng Zhu couldn't help but speak: "Didn't the people of the Qin State attack Hedong County? ”

After all, in the past few wars, Qin's attack on Hedong County was almost a fixed pattern.

Lian Po shook his head with a very solemn face and said, "No." Judging from the marching route and attack direction of the main force of the Qin State, the Qin army definitely wanted to break out of the Central Plains by opening the Hangu Pass and seek a decisive battle in the Central Plains. ”

The faces of the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State present began to become a little serious, judging from the current situation, the most threatening country for Zhao State actually really has to count Qin State.

It would not be a bad idea to use Hedong County or even a Shangdang County as a buffer to hold back Qin, in fact, Zhao has always done so in the past few wars.

But now that the people of Qin have made it clear that they will not play with the people of Zhao in Hedong County, they are directly going to go out of the original and fight with Zhao State, which makes the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State feel some pressure.

Li Bo couldn't help but say: "The Qin army is pouring out of the nest like this, don't they want their Guanzhong nest?" Don't forget, General Li Mu's border cavalry corps is still there, and the county soldiers of Hedong County and Jinyang are enough to cut off the Cuihan Pass after the Qin people go east, right? ”

Everyone present looked at Lian Po, hoping to get Lian Po's answer.

Lian Po said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, the Qin army should plan to defeat our country in a decisive battle first, and then solve other things. ”

Obviously, the people of the Qin State have chosen a very risky way to play, and they don't want to go back to the nest, they just want to overturn the Zhao State first.

Lian Po added: "Of course, the people of Qin are not completely ignoring Guanzhong, there are still 50,000 main forces of the Qin army in Xianyang City, and the King of Qin has issued a national summoning order, ready to deal with the attack from the direction of our army's Hedong and Hetao. ”

Zhao Dan was silent for a while, then said, "Can Hangu Pass be held?" ”

Lian Po slowly shook his head and said, "If it is only a Qin State, then maybe with the support of the county soldiers of Hedong County and Jinyang County, it can still defend it." However, now that South Korea is not on our side, once we mobilize troops to support Hangu Pass, it is very likely that we will be attacked by Qin and South Korea, which will be inappropriate. ”

Zhao Dan frowned and said, "In this way, Hangu Pass can't be held." ”

Lian Po said in a heavy tone: "King Hui, this is indeed the case. ”

Zhao Dan shook his head and said, "Then let's continue to talk about other countries." ”

Lian Po continued to speak: "Next is South Korea. South Korea has now mobilized heavy troops in the capital city of Xinzheng, and the preliminary estimate should be about 150,000. However, the South Korean army did not show any signs of sorting, probably for fear of being broken by our troops alone. According to speculation, it is very likely that the Koreans were waiting for the main force of the Qin army in Guanzhong to break through Hangu Pass, and then go east to join them. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more tense.

Judging from the previous wars, each defeat was the most convenient and reliable choice for Zhao State.

After all, the current Zhao State has a vast territory that can be used as a strategic depth to delay the offensive of other countries, even if some land is temporarily occupied by other countries, as long as the war is won, these lands can still be returned to the hands of Zhao State.

And once the states are unable to form a joint force, then Zhao can use his powerful forces to break through each and finally achieve a complete victory.

After suffering two defeats, the new generation of anti-Zhao coalitions has apparently learned this lesson, and it seems that there are signs of a joint force.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then continued to ask: "Then what about the Chu State and the Wei State Tian Chong's troops?" How are they moving? ”

Lian Po replied: "The Chu army seems to have reached some kind of agreement with Wei Guotian Chong now, obviously it was still a place of life and death before, but now it has joined forces in Shouchun, just crossed the Huai River, and looks like it may be ready to go north." ”

Zhao Dan snorted and said, "With these 150,000 troops, they dare to enter Suiyang City, which is a widow?" ”

Lian Po said with a straight face: "Great King, in fact, according to the speculation of the ministers, it is likely that it is not only the Chu and Wei coalition forces that target Suiyang City. ”

Zhao Dan said: "What does Wu Xinjun mean by this? ”

Lian Po said: "The minister thinks that this time the Six Nations Alliance is likely to want to have a decisive battle in Suiyang City!" ”

"A decisive battle?" Zhao Dan had a look of surprise on his face.

At this time, Pang Xuan on the side said in a timely manner: "That's true, according to the analysis of the General Staff, this time the Six-Nation Alliance should want to gather superior forces to join forces, and then seek a decisive battle with our Zhao army." Judging from the map, the most suitable place for the armies of the Six Nations to fight a decisive battle with us is Suiyang City. ”

Zhao Dan subconsciously asked, "Why Suiyang City?" ”

Lian Po replied: "Because Suiyang City used to be the land of Wei and Chu, Wei and Chu are very familiar with this place. At the same time, it is also relatively close to Korea and Qi, which is convenient for the armies of Korea and Qi to converge here. ”

Lian Po didn't mention the Qin State, but everyone also understood what Lian Po meant, anyway, since the Qin State had decided to go east to the Central Plains, it didn't matter where he went.

After all, compared to the Qin State that traveled thousands of miles to participate in the Five Kingdoms Expedition, Suiyang City was still closer.

Zhao Dan's face became even more solemn, and he asked Lian Po: "So, the people of Qi are also heading towards Suiyang City now?" ”

Lian Po nodded and said, "What the king said is exact. The Qi army has also set out from Linzi and is marching towards Onoze. As long as you bypass Onozawa and head south, you will be able to reach Suiyang Castle. ”

By this time, the situation was very clear.

The Six Nations Alliance obviously wants to gather under Suiyang City, and then defeat the main force of the Zhao army led by Youle Cheng who is stationed here in a battle!

Yu Xin coughed a little hard and said, "What about the Yan people? The people of Yan don't want to go south to Suiyang, right? ”

Lian Po shook his head and said: "Although the people of the Yan Kingdom have indeed gone south, they did not detour through the territory of the Qi Kingdom, but directly pointed at the Gu City and Zhongren City of our country, according to the judgment, the Yan Kingdom should not participate in the decisive battle of Suiyang City this time." ”

Hearing this, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if one less enemy country participated, the pressure on Zhao State would be lower, and it could be regarded as one of the bad news that was not too bad among the many bad news.

At this point, Lian Po's introduction to the entire battlefield situation was over.

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, glanced at the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom present, and then said: "Very good, since we have fully understood the movements of the other six countries, then next, let's discuss how to solve this problem." ”
