Chapter 18 Let's take Zhao Jia's head

To the east of Koushui, the Yan military camp is in the village.

After reading the battle report in his hand, Chestnut immediately burst out laughing.

When the generals saw this, they all asked, "Why is Xiangguo laughing?" ”

Chestnut raised the battle report in his hand and said: "Qing Qin besieged the city, when the city guard will surrender without a fight, Qing Qin ordered the city guard to continue to command the headquarters of the people, and garrison the city." ”

"I never thought that after the Daiyi guard learned the news, he actually took the initiative to send an envoy to discuss the surrender with Qing Qin."

When the generals of the Yan Kingdom heard this, they all looked shocked.

If it is said that the surrender of the city defender is still expected by everyone, then the surrender of the Daiyi defender is completely unexpected.

You must know that the city is only a small city, the city is low, and the defenders are scarce.

On the other hand, Daiyi is the seat of the Daijun government, not only the city is tall, but there are also many defenders in the city.

Before that, even Li Belly thought that if Qing Qin wanted to capture Daiyi, there would inevitably be a hard fight.

"Did the Dai Yi guard make any requests?"

Some Yan generals are cautious and ask questions.

Chestnut retracted his smile and said, "Dai Yi Shou will have three requirements. ”

"First, the Yan army is stationed in Daiyi, and it must not be committed in autumn."

"Second, the official position of the general of Daiyi must be retained, and he must continue to command the people of the headquarters."

"Third, the two sides must truce for half a month, so that the Daiyi guards can complete the time stipulated by King Zhao to defend the city, so that his wife and children will not be harmed."

According to the military law of the Zhao State, when facing a strong enemy, the defenders of the Zhao State could abandon the city or even surrender when necessary.

However, it must be guaranteed to withstand some time.

If the enemy arrives and the defenders abandon the city or surrender, the family will be held responsible.

The generals of Yan also have some understanding of this matter.

"The first two requests are not excessive, but the two sides have a truce for half a month, and the reinforcements sent by Handan may have arrived in Guyi."

"What if at that time, Gu Yi Shou will rebel again?"

Fang just spoke out about the Yan general, and expressed his concerns,

When the rest of the Yan generals heard this, they also bowed slightly.

Someone even persuaded: "Xiangguo, please think twice." ”

"Gu Yi is the capital of Dai County, if it can be breached, the rest of the cities in Dai County can be determined."

"If you delay for half a month, the other party will backtrack, even if you capture the rest of the cities in Daiyi at that time, it will be more than worth the loss."

Chestnut also frowned slightly, thinking about whether this matter was fraudulent or not, and whether to let Qing Qin agree to a truce.

Chestnut pondered for a long time, thinking of the example of Dangcheng, and had already made a decision in his heart.

"There is a city guard in front of Zhuyu, and I expect that the general of Daiyi will not break his word."

"As for the reinforcements sent by Handan, you don't need to worry too much."

"Qing Qin can agree to a truce with Gu Yi, but he can still take the opportunity to go south, attack the rest of the Dai County cities, and cut off the road for Handan reinforcements to reach Gu Yi."

"And this time our army attacked Zhao in order to occupy land and expand the population, not to use war means to turn the warring area into ruins."

"Otherwise, even if you occupy more cities in Zhao State, it will not help."

"And Daiyi is well defended, even if Qing Qin attacks the city with all his might, the other party can hold out for half a month."

"Rather than suffering heavy casualties and finally gaining Daiyi, which is in ruins, it is better to believe in the Daiyi defenders and truce."

"If you can really capture Daiyi without blood, do you know what it means?"

Chestnut said this, his eyes flashed with excitement.

If you think of Dai-gun as a country, then Dai-eup is equivalent to the capital of the country.

Even if the capital is breached, the rest of the country may continue to resist.

If the ruler of the capital surrenders the capital to the enemy, it means that the entire country is subjugated.

Its political significance is incomparable.

What's more, as Li Belly said, Yan attacked Zhao in order to get the land and population of Zhao.

There is a world of difference between a complete Daiyi and a war-torn Daiyi.

And this time, the Yan State attacked Zhao with all its might, and the Zhao State experienced a defeat in Changping, and it was a decline in national strength.

If the Daiyi defenders can really surrender without a fight, the blow to the morale of the entire Zhao State will be incomparable.

After all, Daiyi is not a small place like Fangcheng, and its political significance is completely different.

Seeing that the generals were moving by themselves, Chestnut walked to the front of the map.

He pointed to the two cities with his right hand and said, "Let Qing Qin accept the conditions of the Daiyi guard, first make a truce with the other party, and then go south to attack Guangchang and Lucheng." ”

"As long as these two cities can be captured, the connection between Daiyi and Handan can be severed, and Daiyi will become a rootless duckweed, even if the Daiyi guards break their promises in the end, they will not be able to change the general trend."

When the generals heard this, they all bowed their heads.

I have to say that Chestnut does have a very good ability to command troops, and his strategic vision is also extremely unique.

Even if there is no half-moon appointment, this strategic deployment is very correct.

The most important thing is that Chestnut believes that the southern battlefield is the key, and the northern battlefield does not need to achieve too many results, just a little gain.

As long as the 400,000 army under the commander of the chestnut belly can completely defeat the main force of the Zhao army, the vast territory in the north will be included in the Yan State sooner or later.

"The north is just a small fight, and we are the core of the war."

Chestnut moved his fingers to Gu Yi's position, and his face became solemn.

"Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao, commanded 20,000 troops to garrison here, and built countless arrow towers and beacon towers along the river."

"The Koushui River is wide and the water is turbulent, so it is not easy to force the Koushui River to attack Guyi."

At this, Chestnut paused.

He looked around at everyone and said, "Last time I went to Zhao State, I saw this Jia Gongzi in Handan City, although he was only seventeen years old, he was able to write and martial arts, and his bearing was extraordinary. ”

"This person is the eldest grandson of the king, and he will definitely protect Gu Yi desperately."

"As for our army, if we want to continue to attack Handan in the south, we must also take Guyi."

"Guys, do you have a good way to cross the river?"

As soon as Li's voice fell, General Yan smiled and said: "Why is Xiangguo so cautious, commanding troops to fight is not child's play, I think that Zhao Jia is just a yellow-mouthed child, I'm afraid it is still inferior to Zhao Kuo." ”

"What's more, according to the scout's report, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Guyi City, and all of them are rabble."

"If you go head-to-head, you only need to command 5,000 elites to break his army and behead him."

"King Zhao ordered him to garrison Guyi, I'm afraid he is old and confused."

"After the transportation of heavy grain and grass is completed, I am willing to be a pioneer, and take Zhao Jia's head and dedicate it to Xiangguo!"

The words of this Yan general also represent the thoughts of many people.

Although Gu Yi is tall and has the natural danger of Kou Shui, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the 20,000 defenders of Zhao State are just a rabble.

Gu Yi's guard general Zhao Jia was even more unknown before, and no one thought that this young Zhao Wang's eldest grandson had outstanding military command talent.

Not to mention.

Even if Lian Po was in person, it would never be possible to block the attack of the Yan army with 20,000 rabble.
