"How can only 100,000 Zhao troops be enough?"

"Now there are less than 40,000 Qin troops in the city, and there are still nearly 200,000 troops in our Chu State, which is enough to surround Pinggao."

"It's better to let General Lian Po also lead 100,000 Wei troops and follow General Li Mu to join Gongzi Jia."

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie's voice sounded, and the camp once again fell into a brief calm.

As everyone knows, Chun Shenjun is a bit selfish in doing this, just letting the Chu army besiege Pinggao will not only be able to temporarily avoid confrontation with the main force of the Qin army, but also have a great possibility of winning Meng Fu and picking up a great merit.

It's just that the Chu army was deflated by Meng Fu before, and Chun Shenjun wanted to be ashamed, and everyone could understand it.

"In that case, then I will join Gongzi Jia with General Li Mu!"

Wen County.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army has been running down the Yellow River for a long time and has arrived at Hangu Pass."

Bian Cheng took the battle report he had just gotten and said to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said softly: "The speed is much faster than I expected." ”

Bian Cheng asked suspiciously: "The Qin army commanders Fan Yuzhi and Zhang Tang are so eager to march, could it be that they want to come to the rescue of Meng Fu?" ”

Zhao Jia pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know yet." ”

Hearing this, Bian Cheng became more and more puzzled, and asked, "Why did Childe say this?" ”

Zhao Jia stroked his beard and said: "Fan Yuqi and Zhang Tang represent the local generals of the Qin State, and there has always been fierce competition between them and Meng Fu, and because of Lu Buwei's help to Meng Fu, the local generals of the Qin State have been suppressed. ”

"If it weren't for Meng Fu's repeated setbacks in leading the troops, I'm afraid it would not be Fan Yuzhi and Zhang Tang to become the commanders of the Qin army this time."

"In my opinion, Fan Yuqi and Zhang Tang would prefer to see Meng Yu killed by the coalition forces!"

When the border city heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "In this case, why does Fan Yuzhi still march day and night, and march so eagerly? ”

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "If not, how can you give an explanation to the Qin State?" ”

The border city suddenly realized.

Zhao Jia's letter to Li Mu and others talked about this, and it was concluded that Fan Yuzhi and others might not do their best to rescue Meng Fu.

Instead of gathering the whole army under Pinggao City and fighting to the death with Meng Fu, it is better to withdraw most of the troops and come to the area of Wenxian to deploy defenses in advance to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

As for the tens of thousands of Qin troops in Pinggao, they only need to surround the city, even if Meng Fu feeds on human flesh, it won't last long after all.

On the day of the end of the grain, Pinggao was self-defeating.

"Your Majesty, the two generals Li Mu and Lian Po are leading an army of 200,000 to come!"

At this moment, Wang Jian strode over, with joy on his face.

"Gather the generals and follow me to meet the two generals!"

Twenty miles east of Wenxian County, Zhao Jia took the generals of Shenqi early and waited for Li Mu and Lian Po here.

Suddenly, there was a lot of dust in the distance, and flags covered the sky and the sun.

"It's finally here!"

Thinking that he was about to see Lian Po and Li Mu, Zhao Jia felt his heart surging with enthusiasm.

Since Zhao Jia seized the land of Shenqi, he has not seen Lian Po at all, the two have a friendship between master and apprentice in the end, if there is no Lian Po's care, Zhao Jia may have been pressed by his stepmother and Zhao Qian to the point that he can't raise his head.

What's more, Lian Po has served three generations of monarchs in Zhao State, which can be described as a high level of hard work, and Zhao Jia, as a child of the royal family, is naturally grateful to Lian Po.

As for Li Mu, he was the only pillar of the Zhao State at the end of the Warring States Period in history, and after the Battle of the Xiongnu, Zhao Jia had never seen this Zhao State God of War again.

When Zhao Jia learned that Li Mu had easily captured the ten cities between the rivers of Yan Country with a strange plan, his heart was also extremely happy.

Even though Zhao Jia now divides the land of Shenqi, he also knows that his status and power come from the powerful Zhao State, and if the Zhao State weakens or perishes, the land of Shenqi cannot exist alone.

Only when the state of Zhao becomes stronger and stronger, will the land of Shenqi be safer.

Even if Zhao Jia had some discord with Zhao Yan before, in the face of major matters related to national interests, the father and son finally began to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to fight against Qin.

"Teacher, General Li!"

After Zhao Jia saw Lian Po and Li Mu, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but the two did not dare to slack off, and returned the salute one after another.

Today's Zhao Jia is not only Pingqi Jun, but also the world-famous son of Zhao Guo, Li Mu even heard that King Zhao wants to make Zhao Jia the crown prince and make him the legitimate heir of Zhao.

The matter of establishing a prince seems to be normal, after all, Zhao Yan only has such a son as Zhao Jia left, and he is such an excellent son, it is natural that he should be made a prince.

However, those who know the past of the two know that there is a lot of dirt between the two.

If Zhao Yan really made Zhao Jia the crown prince, then it also shows that Zhao Yan and Zhao Jia have released their previous suspicions, and the meaning is very different.

After the three of them greeted each other, Zhao Jia first asked his subordinates to arrange for Zhao and Wei's 200,000 troops to enter the camp that had been prepared long ago.

Then, he greeted Lian Po and Li Mu and went to Wenxian County.

The three of them came to the big map hanging on the wall, Zhao Jia pointed to the location of Hangu Pass, and said: "The main vanguard of the Qin army has arrived here, and according to the speed of the Qin army's march, it will be possible to march to Wen County within half a month." ”

"This time, the Qin State sent 400,000 troops, which can be described as a labor force, the land of Bashu has a steady stream of grain and grass, and the Qin State is still recruiting troops in the country, it seems that it really wants to fight to the death with us!"

Zhao Jia's face was extremely solemn.

The huge war machine of the Qin State, if it is fully activated, is definitely an extremely terrifying existence, even if the allied forces of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han will feel tremendous pressure.

What's more, the rest of the countries can only rely on it for a while, and it is simply unrealistic to let them work together to fight the Qin State.

According to Zhao Jia's speculation, the armies of the two sides will be stalemate for half a year at most, and the coalition forces will retreat one after another, and it may even fall apart in just three months.

At that time, if the Qin State insisted on attacking the Zhao State, the Zhao State could only face it alone.

When Li Mu heard this, he also frowned and said: "Although the coalition army has 500,000 troops, after all, each has its own ghosts, and this confrontation between the two armies will either be bloody, or as usual, they will withdraw their troops one after another when the stalemate is deadlocked, so that all countries will waste money and food." ”

Lian Po stroked his beard and said, "If after conquering Pinggao, gather all the soldiers and horses to fight the Qin army quickly, is it okay?" ”

Li Mu asked rhetorically: "The 100,000 Wei army commanded by the general is willing to fight to the death with the Qin army?" ”

Lian Po heard the words and was silent.

Although he is the nominal supreme commander of the Wei army, his rights have also been greatly restricted, and now Lian Po has not done anything out of the ordinary, and the Wei generals under his command will naturally not object.

Once Lian Po ordered the Wei army to fight to the death with the Qin army, the Wei generals would inevitably oppose it, and even Lian Po, the nominal commander, could not command the Wei army at that time.

"I can't."

After a long time, Lian Pocai said in a somewhat dry voice.

Zhao Jia sighed: "The Wei army is like this, the Chu army is like this, and the Han army is also like this, the coalition army can block the Qin State for a while, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on the alliance forces of all countries to defeat the Qin State." ”

"What's more, even if all the countries work together to fight to the death with the Qin State, the Qin State may not be as we wish, if the Qin army continues to occupy Hangu Pass as usual and can't defend it, what should we do?"

"For now, we can only rely on ourselves!"

Li Mu asked, "What is the best plan for the child?" ”

Zhao Jia pointed to the location of Hangu Pass and said in a deep voice: "In the past, all the countries attacked Qin together, but they were all blocked from Hangu Pass, and in the end, it was over. ”

"This time, if you can make a detour to Pusaka, cross the Yellow River in the south, and make a detour to Hangu Pass, you may be able to take Xianyang, the capital of Qin, by surprise!"

Zhao Jia's strategy was the strategy of Pang Nuanhe's attack on Qin in the future, and the coalition army also attacked not far from Xianyang at that time, but unfortunately it was a failure in the end.

Lian Po and Li Mu were both battlefield generals, and they quickly understood what Zhao Jia meant, and their eyes immediately lit up.

However, soon, Li Mu shook his head and said: "If Gongzi proposes this plan as soon as possible, while the Qin army has not yet been assembled, he will make a detour to Pusaka, cross the Yellow River in the south, and make a detour to Hangu Pass, or it may be successful." ”

"But now, the Qin army has been assembled, and our coalition army knows everything about the real Qin country, if it is a detour to Puban, the Qin army will definitely have an embankment, and it will be difficult to work wonders."

"And although the number of coalition troops is huge, the quality of the soldiers is different, the army is bloated and huge, and it is not easy to make a detour to attack Xianyang, and it is not easy to coordinate properly, and the division of troops is easy to be broken by the Qin army one by one, the risk is extremely high, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Li Mu was worthy of being the future god of war of the Zhao Kingdom, and soon discovered the drawbacks of this strategy.

"If the coalition forces are allowed to hold back the main force of the Qin army on the south bank of the Yellow River, and I personally lead the 30,000 Zhao national iron cavalry in the land of Shenqi to make a detour to attack Xianyang, can it be successful?"

Zhao Jia's words shocked the two again.

Lian Po immediately shook his head and said: "The 30,000 iron cavalry is too dangerous to go deep alone, and it is not advisable. ”

In Lian Po's opinion, even if the main force of the Qin army was dragged by the coalition forces, it would be impossible to conquer Xianyang with only 30,000 cavalry.

If you are not careful, 30,000 cavalry will even be counter-encircled and suppressed by the Qin army.

Li Mu frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Although this plan is dangerous, it is not completely unfeasible, but if the whereabouts of 30,000 cavalry are exposed, if you want to attack Xianyang by surprise, I am afraid it will not be so easy." ”

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "Even if you can't conquer Xianyang, it is enough to shock the world and make the main force of the Qin army frightened and withdraw its troops to help." ”

"At that time, the coalition forces can capture the land east of Hangu Pass of Qin, so that the three kingdoms of Chu, Han, and Wei can benefit and weaken the national strength of Qin."

Zhao Jia never planned to break through Xianyang and destroy the Qin State with only 30,000 cavalry.

He just wanted to weaken the Qin State as much as possible, and then strengthen the strength of the countries, so that the gap between the Zhao State and the Qin State could gradually narrow.

Lian Po continued: "What if your whereabouts are exposed and you are surrounded and suppressed by the Qin army? ”

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "The teacher may not know, over the years, Jia has explored all the terrain and roads of the city that this battle will pass, and the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, even if the whereabouts are exposed, what can the Qin State do to me?" ”

Lian Po asked again: "Having said that, if the 30,000 cavalry is a lone army, and the supply of food and grass is all cut off, how can the 30,000 cavalry be supplied with horses to eat?" ”

Zhao Jia's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "The Art of War: Therefore, the wise general will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be me for twenty minutes; One stone of pi gan, twenty stones. “

"I have 30,000 iron horsemen, and I can completely follow the Hu people's strategy of going south to plunder, and the places I pass through will be eaten in Qin, and if you don't obey, the army will kill them!"

"If Qin wants to cut off my grain route, he must be a strong wall and clear the wilderness, I can turn to attack the rest of Qin, and Qin will destroy a land and a season's harvest, but it can't restrict our army, and I will cut off my siblings."

When Lian Po heard this, his eyes became extremely complicated, compared to Zhao Jia's audacity, Lian Po felt that he had become much more cautious.

"Am I really old?"

At this moment, Li Mu said: "The son is the body of ten thousand gold, and it may be inappropriate to rashly lead the troops to do this dangerous thing." ”

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "I and the soldiers are both hands, feet, flesh and blood, how much more noble than others?" If there were no soldiers desperately guarding him, how could Jia be able to get away with it so far! ”

"I have made up my mind, I hope the two generals will help me drag the main force of the Qin army!"

In the cavalry camp, Zhao Jia was inspecting 30,000 iron cavalry.

After the inspection, Zhao Jia looked at Wang Jian who was sullen and followed behind him, and suddenly asked out loud: "Do you feel unwilling to fail to kill the enemy?" ”

Wang Jian raised his head suddenly, pursed his lips, and didn't say a word.

"You will lead three thousand cavalry to Pinggao, and when the blade is gone, you will come and join me!"

Wang Jian showed disbelief in his eyes, and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't it delay the son's big event?" ”

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "It will take half a month for the main force of the Qin army to arrive in Wen County, and I will not be able to enter the Qin State before, so as not to divide the Qin army to guard various important places." ”

"Only when the main force of the Qin army arrives at the border between Qin and South Korea, and the two sides are deadlocked, is the time when I will enter the Qin State with a thunderous momentum."

"Until then, you'll have plenty of time to slash your enemies!"

Wang Jian was moved in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency's great grace, Wang Jian will definitely remember it in his heart!" ”

Time passes slowly.

The speed at which the main force of the Qin army arrived in Wen County was greatly beyond Zhao Jia's expectations.

After the vanguard of the Qin army arrived at Hangu Pass, they did not continue to advance eastward, but began to divide their troops to occupy various important places, waiting for the arrival of the main army of Qin.

Fan Yuzhi led the follow-up Qin army to Hangu Pass, and repaired for five days before continuing to advance eastward, and the speed slowed down a lot.

When Wang Jian learned the news, he knew that Zhao Jia's guess was completely correct.

Fan Yuzhi is indeed not ready to rescue Wang Qian.

Pingao.

Meat, after all, has a time to be eaten, especially in the hot summer, and meat is also very easy to spoil and cannot be stored for a long time.

I don't know when, there are also rumors in Pinggao City about killing people and eating meat, and many Qin soldiers have greatly reduced their appetite, and many people even began to be anorexic, and the morale of the Qin army in the city has been greatly reduced.

Just when Fan Yuqi was two hundred miles away from Wen County, Pinggao City had been without food for three days, and the Qin army had almost eaten everything that could be eaten in the city.

At this time, the Qin army, who had secretly hated Mengfu, hoped to be able to eat such meat porridge again.

"Can't wait?"

Meng Fu, with a withered face, stood on the city wall, looked at the dense Chu army outside the city, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I should have expected this outcome."

Meng Fu, who was in his seventies, suddenly felt dizzy when he thought of the Koreans who were slaughtered, and when he thought of his son who was killed by random arrows.

He didn't stand firm, and actually fell straight from the city wall.

"Bang!"

A generation of famous generals ended their lives dramatically.

"General!"

"General!"

"General!"

It was only at this time that those soldiers who were dizzy with hunger reacted and shouted loudly on the city wall.
