Chapter 108: Extinguish it
Duyi Zhongyang.
Zhao Jia looked at the paper in his hand, and his originally calm face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Even, even Zhao Jia's hands holding the paper trembled slightly.
"Childe, what's going on?"
Li Si is good at observing words and feelings, and after seeing Zhao Jia's expression, he couldn't help but sink slightly in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
Fan Zeng also said solemnly: "Could it be that the battle situation in Pingzhou has changed? ”
Zhao Jia raised his head, held his right hand tightly, and pinched the entire letter into a deformation, and it took a while to calm down.
"The Turkish fortress is lost!"
Zhao Jia said these words almost word by word, and these words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding above everyone's heads.
"How is that possible!"
Li Si and Fan Zeng exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time, and their eyes all showed disbelief.
The Turkish army fortress, that is a steep fortress that Zhao Jia spent countless manpower and material resources to successfully build, can almost be regarded as an iron wall.
Rao is like this, Zhao Jia still ordered his confidant to love Zhao Bian, commanding 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the Turkish army fortress.
Zhao Jia was confident that even if Meng Fu commanded 200,000 troops to besiege the Turkish fortress, it would be difficult to break through this strong fortress.
But now, the Turkish fortress has actually been lost, how can people not be shocked?
After being shocked, Fan Zeng hurriedly asked, "But the Qin State dispatched troops and horses from the country and captured the Turkish fortress with lightning speed?" ”
"If this is the case, the Qin State is not afraid that the countries will join forces to attack Qin again?"
It's no wonder that Fan Zeng has this thought.
In order to threaten the three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, and Wei, Qin did not send troops to rescue the land of Shenqi, and once made an agreement: as long as the countries did not send troops to help, the Qin State would only let Meng Fu take 100,000 armor to seize the land of Shenqi.
100,000 Qin troops is the number set by the Qin State.
But now, when 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Meng Fu Zheng attacked Pingzhou, the news of the loss of the Turkish fortress suddenly came.
Except for the Qin State quietly sending troops, Fan Zeng couldn't think of other possibilities.
Li Si was also full of shock, even if he suddenly learned that Pingzhou was lost, it was no more difficult for him to accept than knowing the news of the loss of the Turkish army fortress.
Zhao Jia said in a dry voice: "The Qin State did not send a large army to attack the Turkish army fortress, but only let Meng Tian, the grandson of Meng Fu, lead more than a thousand Qin troops to disguise themselves as Turkish army civilians early and hibernate in the Turkish army fortress for several months, only then did he capture the Turkish army fortress." ”
"More than a thousand Qin troops, how can they take the Turkish army fortress!"
Lees' face was full of disbelief.
If it is said that the Qin State sent 200,000 troops to capture the Turkish army fortress, Li Si would be easy to accept, but the impregnable Turkish army fortress was actually taken by more than 1,000 people led by Meng Tian, how can it be believed?
It must be known that there are 3,000 defenders in the city, and Zhao Bian, a steady man, is stationed there, even if more than 1,000 Qin troops are mixed into the city, it will not lose the Turkish army fortress.
What's more, Zhao Wei is not a fool, if Qin Guozuo carries weapons into the city, there is a great possibility that he will be discovered.
How could the Qin army, without weapons and armor, capture the fortress?
As if seeing the doubts in Li Si and Fan Zeng's hearts, Zhao Jia sighed slightly and spoke eloquently.
"Zhong Liyi, a merchant of the Chu State, led a caravan to transport many strategic materials to the Turkish army fortress, which was mixed with weapons, armor, arrows, etc., and the Qin army that mixed into the city took these weapons before arming himself."
"Originally, there were only more than a thousand Qin troops in the city, and if Zhao Bian commanded calmly, he might not be able to defeat all of this Qin army."
"However, Meng Tian coerced the people in the city in the army, and made the people pretend to be soldiers of the Qin State, and the defenders did not distinguish between true and false, and saw that the Qin army was huge, and they were already afraid."
"Meng Tian even sent people to set fire to the north city gate, so that Zhao Wei and the defenders of the south city gate mistakenly thought that the north city gate was lost, so that the defenders in the city completely lost their square inches."
"Not only that, Meng Tian was more anti-guest-oriented, using obstacles to build a defensive line in the streets south of the city, Zhao saw that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't figure out the details of the Qin army, so he immediately abandoned the city and fled into South Korea."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jia sighed slightly.
What Meng Tian did, even if Zhao Jia himself was in Zhao Jia's position, he might lose his square inch.
It's not that Zhao Wei is stupid, but Meng Tian is really surprising.
Some people may think that it is extremely stupid for Zhao to relax his vigilance during the war, but the 100,000 Qin army is attacking Pingzhou, and unless the Qin State breaks the treaty and sends more troops, there is no surplus force to attack the Turkish fortress.
Preparation is a loss, and there is no doubt about the common.
Everyone thought that the Pingzhou Fortress was impregnable, even Zhao Jia, Li Si, and Fan Zeng also thought so, but they didn't expect that Meng Tian would dare to attack the strongest Pingzhou Fortress.
From a strategic point of view, Meng Tian has already taken the initiative from the very beginning.
And Meng Tian knows that soldiers are good at fighting, knows the art of war, and is more able to adapt to things when encountered, and take the Turkish army fortress by surprise, which is simply a stroke of genius.
Looking at what Zhao Bian did, although it was not too brilliant, it was also decent.
Even if Zhao Bian didn't think that the Qin State had broken its promise to send another army to attack the Turkish fortress, the search for merchants was still very strict, and there was no big mistake.
If it weren't for the fact that the Turkish army fortress was previously owned by the Qin State, and most of the people in the city were Qin people, it would be impossible for Meng Tian and his subordinates to blend into the city without being discovered.
All the calculations and coincidences were concentrated to make the Turkish fortress so unbelievably lost.
After listening to Zhao Jia's narration, Fan Zeng and Li Si both fell silent, glanced at each other, and their eyes showed worry.
Taking a deep breath, Fan Zeng said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, Gongzi should rely on the speed advantage of the cavalry and recapture it before the Mengfu commander enters the Turkish army fortress." ”
"Otherwise, after Meng Fu arrives at the Turkish army fortress from Pingzhou, the army will be able to enter and take the capital Zhongyang directly."
Li Si also bowed his head and agreed.
Zhao Jia didn't speak, but walked to the map with a frown, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The Turkish fortress was not so easy to recapture.
Meng Tian's great name, Zhao Jia's later generations are like thunder, knowing that this is a great Qin general who is deeply valued by Qin Shi Huang, and he is also a person who once commanded 300,000 soldiers to attack the Xiongnu in the north and recover the lost land.
Meng Tian's performance in the Turkish army fortress has begun to show his qualifications as a famous general.
With Meng Tian as the defender of the Turkish army fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhao Jia wants to conquer it in a short time, and the possibility is very small.
"Now, the news that the Turkish army fortress was obtained by Meng Tian should not have reached Meng Tian's ears."
Zhao Jia looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly said something brainless, which immediately made Fan Zeng and Li Si look at each other.
The distance from the Turkish fortress to Pingzhou was three times the distance to Zhongyang.
Even if Meng Tian captured the Turkish fortress and told Meng Fei quickly, it would not be as fast as the spies to report the news to Zhao Jia.
"If I command the cavalry to rush to Pingzhou at this time, I'm afraid I can catch up with the retreating Qin army."
Zhao Jia's eyes showed a look of thought.
For some reason, Li Si and Fan Zeng, who saw Zhao Jia's gaze, suddenly felt as if something big was about to happen.
Fan Zeng hurriedly asked: "Gongzi didn't take the Turkish army fortress, but went to Pingzhou, what happened?" ”
Zhao Jia pointed to the icon on the map, which represented 100,000 Qin troops, and said, "Destroy it, and this war will be over." ”
When Fan Zeng and Li Si heard this, they all changed color.
