Longtai side hall.

As the king of a country, Zhao Dan's treatment is still very good.

This place is called the side hall, which is actually the study room where Zhao Dan works on weekdays.

In the center of the room, there is a gold, silver, bronze dragon and phoenix deer case that is exactly the same as in Zhao Dan's dormitory, and there are many bamboo slips and silk books on the bookcase, all of which were just moved from the dormitory by the eunuch Ling Mixian.

There was also a small pottery incense burner on the bookcase, which was only about the size of a man's fist, and the exterior was painted black, and the middle part was hollowed out, but there was a red dragon on the top, which at first glance looked like the red dragon was entrenched on a black cloud, vivid.

The slightest fragrance came out of the hollowed out holes under the "black clouds" in this incense burner, so that there was a faint fragrance in the air of the entire side hall.

On one side of the room are three rows of delicate bronze chimes, each of which has a different number, from left to right, like a growing histogram, each looking very delicate.

There are other shelves next to the chimes, which are respectively placed with qin, sheng, seer and hanging drums, all of which are musical instruments of the Warring States period, all of which are for the original Zhao Dan to entertain himself and relax in his spare time.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the side hall.

Zhao Dan had just sat down when the maids of the palace brought breakfast.

Zhao Dan took a look at it and felt that although the tableware like Jue Ah and Ding Ah looked weird, it was quite easy to use, and there were even two meat dishes, a vegetarian dish and a soup, forming a classic combination of three dishes and one soup, meat and vegetarian.

"But the smell of this dog meat is still a bit strong, and the cooking method is not quite right." Zhao Dan used a dagger to put a piece of dog meat in Dingzhong into his mouth, and after chewing it for a long time, he shook his head and made a comment.

But after all, after a while, all the food was still swept away by Zhao Dan like a whirlwind.

I got up early in the morning and held a meeting until noon, and everyone was hungry.

After finally eating, Zhao Dan burped with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that what the ancestors ate more than two thousand years ago was actually not unacceptable, although the cooking technique was a little worse, and there were not so many seasonings...

The eunuch Ling Mixian appeared in front of Zhao Dan at the right time: "King, do you want to announce that Zhao Kuo and Su Dai are here?" ”

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Let's announce Zhao Kuo first." ”

When he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall, Zhao Dan's heart couldn't help but be a little excited.

Finally, you can meet this pit daddy who has been famous for "talking on paper" for 2,000 years!

A moment later, a young man strode to the hall and bowed to Zhao Dan to greet him.

This is Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Kuo carefully, Zhao Kuo's age at this time was actually not very old, about twenty-seven or eighteen, not even thirty years old, with a mink tail cicada pattern crown on his head, wearing a set of cyan short-sleeved narrow clothes on his body, with a belt around his waist, and a belt hook on it, and a pair of black leather boots under his feet.

Zhao Kuo's outfit is completely different from the "Chinese clothes" that other countries in the Central Plains are used to at this time, that is, the style of wide robes and large sleeves and long clothes, which is unique to Zhao and has only appeared since the reform of King Wuling of Zhao.

I have to say that this Zhao Kuo is really handsome, coupled with this energetic and luxurious clothes, anyone who looks at this Zhao Kuo can't help but praise: "What a handsome and chic man!" ”

Although he had a certain impression in his memory before, when Zhao Dan saw this Zhao Kuo, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Not to mention why so many people are blind and support Zhao Kuo, just like Zhao Kuo, at a glance, there are four big characters on his head - young and promising!

Zhao Dan waved his hand: "Don't be polite, sit." ”

Zhao Kuo sat down immediately, this guy still doesn't know that his desire to replace Lian Po has come to naught, and his eyes are full of fighting spirit, and he thinks that his own king is looking for him to do some pre-war encouragement.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Kuo's appearance, and he couldn't bear to hit his enthusiasm in his heart, not to mention anything else, this Zhao Kuo's loyalty to Zhao Guo is absolutely speechless, ability... I can only blame him for his bad life, and he met the god of war Bai Qi.

"Zhao Kuo, the widow has already discussed with Zhu Qing, and the matter of changing generals is not feasible for the time being."

Zhao Kuo's body shook when he heard this, and his young face showed an incredible expression, obviously he didn't expect such a result at all, and the whole person was directly stunned.

After a long time, Zhao Kuo came back to his senses and asked in a tone of disbelief: "Minister... Dare to ask the king, why did you make this decision? ”

Zhao Dan was also a little embarrassed at this time, because judging from the memory in his head, the Zhao Dan who had not crossed over had actually promised Zhao Kuo to change generals, so this was actually Zhao Dan's reversal...

But Zhao Dan really can't help it, after all, he knows that Zhao Kuo will be defeated, and it is impossible to insist on letting him go.

Zhao Dan suddenly raised his voice: "Someone, above!" ”

As the saying goes, you don't have a picture to say that, so you still have to have a picture.

A moment later, a map drawn on a silk book was placed in front of Zhao Dan's desk.

This is a topographic map of the Changping Battlefield.

Zhao Dan pointed to the map and said to Zhao Kuo, who was still immersed in shock: "Come, and deduce with the widow, you are the Zhao army, and the widow is the Qin army." If you win against the outnumbered, the outnumbered will still regard you as their general. ”

Zhao Kuo, who was already a little depressed, immediately came to his senses when he heard this: "The king has an order, how dare the minister disobey?" ”

In Zhao Kuo's opinion, this time he won the game. After all, when it comes to this kind of deduction, even Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao Hao, the first general of Zhao State, was not Zhao Kuo's opponent, otherwise Zhao Kuo would not have been specially described by Sima Qian as "a matter of words and soldiers, and the world cannot be a man".

So Zhao Kuo was full of confidence and pointed out the country on the map: "If the minister leads the troops, then first reorganize the army, unify the generals and the army, and after everything is complete, cross the Dan River with the main force, and take the light wolf city and the east and west two chapters in three ways!" At that time, our army will be sharp, and the Qin army will not be able to do it! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Dan smiled slightly, and suddenly stretched out his finger to draw a big arc on the map, making a big circle from the Qin army's camp, directly behind the Zhao army's camp: "If the Qin army retreats after being defeated when you attack, and at the same time sends out a surprise army, numbering about 25,000 people, from the Danhe River north Kongcangling line to raid the Bailishi Great Wall, how will you stay?" ”

Zhao Kuo's body shook violently, staring at the route drawn by Zhao Dan, and said for a long time: "The king's use of soldiers is really unexpected, it seems impossible, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be successful... If this is the case, then the first line of the Bailishi Great Wall on the right rear wing of our army will definitely be lost, but our army has hoarded a lot of grain and grass at the Great Grain Mountain, and although the situation is unfavorable, it can still be supported. ”

"Really?" Zhao Dan smiled again: "If the Qin army sends strange soldiers to attack the Great Wall of Bailishi, and then sends an army to break through from the first line of the Xiaodongcang River Valley, separating the main force of your army from the Great Grain Mountain, so that the main force of your army completely falls into the encirclement of the Qin army, and can neither retreat nor obtain grain and grass, what should you do?" ”

Zhao Kuo was shocked again when he heard this, his eyes were almost protruding from his sockets, his hands were even more clenched into fists, and his forehead was sweating like rain.

After almost half an hour, Zhao Kuo suddenly sighed, and the whole person bowed his head in despair: "The king uses soldiers, unpredictable, and he is defeated." ”

Looking at Zhao Kuo in front of him, who was like a defeated rooster, Zhao Dan actually didn't have much joy in his heart, after all, although this Zhao Kuo was indeed a little bit on paper, it can also be seen that Zhao Kuo's military theory is still very solid, and it may still be possible to hone and hone it.

So Zhao Dan patted Zhao Kuo's shoulder and said gently: "Failure is the mother of success, you don't have to take this to heart, the widow wants to appoint you as a general, lead the army to Changping, and obey orders under General Lianpo, are you willing?" ”

Zhao Kuo immediately raised his head when he heard this, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he lowered his head deeply: "Minister, take the order!" ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Kuo leaving, Zhao Dan couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly sighed in his heart: "Bai Qi, Bai Qi, you really deserve the name of the military god, the head of the four famous generals of the Warring States." ”

When Zhao Dan and Zhao Kuo deduced just now, they actually used tactics that really happened in history and were personally commanded by Bai Qi.

The large-scale outflanking and interspersed tactics of encirclement and annihilation warfare and movement warfare used by Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping were still used by the famous generals and commanders of our army in all wars before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the Menglianggu Campaign, which encircled and annihilated Zhang Lingfu's headquarters of the 74th Division, and later in the Huaihai Campaign, which was fought on a larger scale and involved more than one million people on both sides, Su Yu, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, can be said to have used this tactic to the pinnacle, which is breathtaking, and can be called a masterpiece in the history of human warfare.

The Huaihai Battle and the Changping Battle were separated by two thousand years!

From this, you can know how advanced Bai Qi's tactical thinking has been for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!

This is why people often say that the four famous generals of the Warring States period are the only one in white, and the others are in the next class.

To confront such an opponent is really - a lot of pressure!

Zhao Dan took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and then issued the next order.

"Summoning Su Dai into the temple!"
