Soon, several ministers of Zhao came to Longtai.

When they heard the news, the faces of several ministers of Zhao were not very good-looking.

In the eyes of these ministers of the Zhao State, if this Qi army can defeat the Chu army, then the army of the Yan State should not be difficult.

After all, no matter from which point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army should be more powerful than that of the Yan army.

But in fact, what past achievements on the battlefield are floating clouds, and only the results of real swords and real guns can represent everything!

Zhao Dan's face was stinky and he asked the ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "Zhuqing, in your opinion, what should I do now?" ”

General Lian Po did not hesitate, and directly went out to Zhao Dan and said: "King, the minister is willing to lead the troops to the Yan Kingdom, as long as the king gives the minister 100,000 soldiers and horses, the minister will definitely be able to win!" ”

When Lian Po said this, the whole person could be said to be full of confidence.

In fact, not only Lian Po himself, but everyone here, including Zhao Dan, is full of confidence in the current number one general of the Zhao military.

Not to mention anything else, just one fact, that is, Lian Po is the only one who maintains an undefeated record among all the generals who are still built and can lead the troops to the battle!

O victorious general!

Even the famous Qin State Wu Anjun Bai Qi did not do this because of the Battle of Changping.

And it is precisely because of the Battle of Changping, except for the old Qin people who stubbornly believe that Bai Qi is the real number one in the world, the rest of the six countries of Shandong are now recognized as the number one generals in the world!

With this invincible number one general in the world to make a move, what is there to worry about?

But Zhao Dan thought about it, but unexpectedly rejected Lian Po's request.

"The general can have this enthusiasm for the country, and the widow is very pleased. But from the perspective of widows, this little Yan country is just a weak chicken, and the slaughtering knife is used to kill chickens?

Moreover, the general has just finished his expedition to Hedong, if the widow orders the general to continue to lead the troops to attack the Yan State, wouldn't it make the world think that the widowed Zhao State has no one who can lead the troops except for the general?

Therefore, the widow thinks that this time the general should rest in Handan City, so there is no need to go on the expedition. ”

Zhao Dan's words were high-sounding, although Lian Po had the heart to refute, but he couldn't find any reason to refute for a while, and finally he could only sit down sullenly.

Zhao Dan saw Lian Po's depressed expression, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, after all, like this kind of general who wants to go to the battlefield when he screams when he has a battle, and can always win the battle when he goes to the battlefield, it is all a treasure.

But no matter what, Zhao Dan really didn't want Lian Po to go on the expedition this time.

After all, Zhao Guo is not only Lian Po a general, like Pang Xuan, Le Cheng, and Ju Xin, all of them are famous generals in the history books.

The ability of these generals may indeed not be stronger than Lian Po, but they are certainly not much weaker.

As a monarch, Zhao Dan must consider this way of balancing.

If Lian Po is allowed to fight any battle, and all the credit is given to Lian Po, what do other people think?

Wouldn't it be even worse if Pang Xuanle took these guys to defect to another country because they didn't have a chance to perform?

If it was against a strong enemy like Shang Qin, then Zhao Dan would definitely not think so much, and directly let Lian Po go.

After all, whether Qin Guoma can win or not is two words, and Lian Po, the strongest and most confident general, must be sent up.

But the current opponent is just a weak chicken like Yan Guo, and if he doesn't give others a chance to perform, it really can't be said.

Lian Po seemed to understand this truth himself, so don't look at the old general, although he was obviously not convinced by Zhao Dan's decision, he did not get angry in public.

You must know the character of this guy Lian Po, as long as you believe that you don't care about the face of the king, you will definitely say it in public.

Seeing that Lian Po no longer spoke, Zhao Dan coughed and continued to speak: "The widow has already decided, this time Pang Xuan will be the main general, and then Le Cheng will lead 20,000 central troops north to support Pang Xuan!" ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's decision was made, several ministers of Zhao State had no objections.

After all, in addition to Lian Po, Pang Xuan and Le Cheng are the two most outstanding generals in Zhao today.

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Dan: "King, now the border army in Pang Xuan's hands is only 50,000, and the 20,000 central army in Lecheng's hands is a total of 70,000, is it too little?" ”

Zhao Dan waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Yan people is known to the widows, and from the perspective of the widows, 70,000 elite soldiers are enough to deal with the 200,000 soldiers and horses of that Rong Yan!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued: "And now the land is still being measured and rewarded in Hedong County, and most of the meritorious soldiers of the Central Army are still in Hedong County and have not yet returned to the camp, where did the widow come from so many soldiers and horses at once?" ”

Zhao Dan's words reminded the ministers of Zhao State.

Although it is said that the Central Army of Zhao State is indeed a full-time soldier, and they should eat and live in the barracks on weekdays, but this time it is a special situation, most of the soldiers of the Central Army have stayed in Hedong County, and they are holding the land.

In fact, because spring plowing was about to start after the sting, Zhao Dan also specially gave these soldiers of the Central Army half a month's vacation, allowing them to return to the Handan camp after half a month.

It is precisely because of this that there are not many soldiers of the Central Army left in Handan City of Zhao State at this time, only about 30,000 people.

The reason why there are more than 30,000 people left behind is not that Zhao Dan specially left, most of these more than 30,000 people are people who did not make meritorious contributions in the First World War in Hedong, so there is no land to divide, and a small number of them have made meritorious contributions but do not accept the land of Hedong County as a reward.

Dispatching 20,000 people from these more than 30,000 people to support Pang Xuan in the north is already the maximum that Zhao Dan can do.

After all, Handan is the capital of Zhao State, so why do you have to keep some elites to defend it?

But even so, the ministers of Zhao were obviously a little worried about the nearly three-to-one ratio of enemies to enemies.

Zhao Dan smiled again when he heard this, and said, "Have you forgotten that there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Qi Kingdom!" The widow will go to Linzi and ask Qi Wangjian to send an order to Kuang Liang, ordering Kuang Liang to lead the 100,000 Qi army and Pang Xuan to form a coalition army. In this way, the number of coalition troops has reached 170,000, which is not much different from the army of Yan State, so Zhu Qing shouldn't have to worry, right? ”

Yu Xin said with some worry: "King, but the words of the two coalition forces are inconvenient to communicate and command each other, if Rong Yi catches this, I am afraid that this battle will be lost." ”

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "Yu Qing is too worried. The widow had already ordered Na Han Fei to lead the staff office north. If the widow expected it to be good, with the command of the two generals, Pang Xuan and Le Cheng, plus the help of the staff office, the chances of my Zhao State winning this battle are at least eighty percent. You don't have to worry too much, just do it accordingly! ”

Although the important ministers of Zhao State present did not know the reason why Zhao Dan was so confident, they still received the order one by one: "Only! ”

In fact, Zhao Dan still has a secret move that has not been said.

This dark chess move is none other than the former important minister of Yan State, and now he is in Handan.

You must know that the two fathers and sons, Le Yi and Le Jian, have taken root in Yan Country for decades, and the Le family can be said to be very deeply connected in Yan Kingdom.

It is precisely because this person is so deeply connected that it should not be too difficult to find a few people in Yan Guo's army.

With generals like Pang Xuan and Le Cheng who had defeated Yan in history, tens of thousands of elite Zhao soldiers, and the Le clan behind the strategy, Zhao Dan felt that if he could lose this battle, then there would really be a ghost!
