Chapter 115: Meaning

"General, the Zhao army cut off my grain route, if I don't go north to plunder the land of Shenqi, I'm afraid the grain and grass in the city won't last long."

The Turkish army fortress was originally only stationed with 3,000 Zhao soldiers, and the grain and grass prepared were not much.

The Qin army's logistical baggage was completely burned, and the grain route was cut off by Zhao Jia, and tens of thousands of Qin troops wanted to rely on the grain and grass in the city to survive, and it was impossible to support it for too long.

Meng Wei listened to the report of his subordinates, his cloudy eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and he turned his head to the Qin generals and said, "The situation is already like this, what do you think about the future war." ”

Everyone's eyes met in the air, and no one answered for a long time.

After a long time, Meng Tian finally stepped forward to break the calm, and said loudly: "For today's plan, either go north to plunder the land of Shenqi to eat, or see the right time to withdraw from the Tujun fortress, or send an envoy to ask the king for help, asking for more reinforcements and grain and grass." ”

"It's just that, as Meng Shuai said, it is not suitable to continue to divide the troops now, otherwise it can only be broken by the Zhao army one by one, and the adventure of going north to seize the land cannot be made unless it is forced to do so."

"As for the messenger asking for help from the king, it was sent a few days ago, and there is still no news."

Speaking of this, Meng Tian paused for a while, and then sighed: "Actually, Xianyang is far away from here, even if the king is determined to increase the army in Shenqi, I am afraid that the remaining grain and grass in the city will not be enough to support that time." ”

When all the Qin generals heard this, they all bowed their heads one after another.

At this point, the generals of the Qin State did not have the courage to divide their troops again, let alone have food and grass to support the army to continue to consume.

What's more, the king of Qin once made an agreement with other countries that Qin would only send 100,000 troops to attack the land of Shenqi, and if he could not capture this land, he would truly recognize Zhao's ownership of the land of Shenqi.

This promise, witnessed by the four kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han, the Qin State, which has experienced great defeats one after another, would never make such a decision if it did not want to reproduce the matter of the Chu State joining forces to attack Qin.

"Although withdrawing troops is an option, in this way, if you want to seize the land of Shenqi in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

"And Zhao Jia commanded 30,000 troops outside the city, eyeing our army."

"The other side is cavalry, we will abandon the city and leave, if he leads the troops to pursue, it may not be easy to confront 30,000 elite cavalry outside the city."

General Qin has expressed his thoughts one after another, and many people's worries are not unreasonable.

Meng Fu quietly listened to the discussion of the crowd, and when the generals were arguing endlessly and the room was noisy, a sentence suddenly came out, which suddenly made the air stagnate.

"It's better to make peace with Zhao Guo."

Everyone stopped talking and set their eyes on Meng Fei, even Meng Tian.

Although Meng Tian thought that his grandfather might make some compromises because of that greasy letter, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Peace.

For the state of Qin, the word has not appeared for a long time.

Even in the face of the six countries joining forces to attack Qin, Qin can resist head-on, and although it falls into disadvantage, it also has the capital to fight.

But I didn't expect that Meng Fu actually said the word 'talk about peace' today.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Meng Fu's eyes showed a painful color, and his already gray hair seemed to have completely lost its luster at this time, and it changed from gray to gray.

He looked around at everyone, and then said with some decadence: "This battle is due to my improper command, first in Pingzhou was blocked by the 5,000 Zhao army for more than half a month, and then it was even more wrong in the use of people and judgment, so that the rear army and the heavy grain and grass were all destroyed. ”

"There is very little grain and grass left in the city today, and Zhao Jia has 30,000 elite cavalry eyeing the tiger, if the battle continues, either tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city will be starved to death, or when the city is abandoned, it will be broken by the pursuit of the cavalry led by Zhao Jia."

"The two wars have damaged tens of thousands of my great Qin Erlang, even if the Qin State is strong, it can't withstand such consumption, I am willing to bear all the responsibility, and I only hope that the soldiers in the city can return to the Qin State smoothly and reunite with their relatives at home."

Listening to Meng Fu's affectionate words, the generals of the Qin State sighed in their hearts, but they didn't know what to say.

In this war, Meng Fu's command did not make much mistakes, and it can only be said that Zhao Jia's actions were indeed unexpected.

Just like Meng Tian captured the Turkish fortress, no one could have imagined that this kind of thing would happen before this.

The enemy is too cunning to be stupid.

The above sentence should be the truest portrayal of all Qin generals in their hearts.

"Father!"

Meng Tian heard Meng Fei's words, but his eyes showed urgency.

Although he said that, he didn't have his own careful thoughts, but Meng Tian didn't expect that his grandfather actually wanted to come to end this war by making peace.

Meng Tian knew very well what would happen if Meng Fu did this.

This war is not only about the victory or defeat of the two sides, but also about many complex networks.

In a small way, this battle was a battle to test whether Montessori could continue to gain a foothold in the Qin army, and it was also a war for Montessori to prove its strength.

If he wins, the shame of the defeat of the six countries will be washed away, and Mengfu will be able to block the mouths of everyone in the Qin State through this big victory.

If they are defeated, the rest of the generals who are eyeing the Qin State may be like hungry wolves, frantically pounce and bite the fat of Montessori.

The Montessori, who was originally powerful in the Qin State, may also decline because of the defeat in the two wars, and even gradually disappear from the stage of Qin history.

The Qin State did not lack a family of Jiangmen.

The Montessori was not a native of Qin, and it was reasonable that his status and military power were coveted.

Don't think this speculation is an exaggeration.

On the whole, the political significance of this war far exceeds its own military significance.

The land of Shenqi is the fat that Zhao took from Qin.

Since the Qin State became strong, no country has dared to do such an arrogant thing.

However, Zhao Jia did it, and let the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, and Korea follow suit, so that the Qin State, which had the tendency to swallow the world, suffered a heavy blow.

If Qin wins this battle, it will naturally be able to use this to deter the countries, telling them that the territory of the Qin State is not so easy to be seized, and the Qin State can also take the opportunity to establish its prestige again, and then even be able to force the other three countries to spit out those Qin State cities that they have swallowed.

If the Qin State is defeated in this battle, then the momentum that the Qin State has accumulated for so many years and the undefeated myth created by the Qin State will be completely broken.

The kingdoms saw that the Qin State was not invincible, and their cities were not impossible to grab.

As long as the kingdoms lose their fear of Qin, the blow to Qin will far exceed the loss of 100,000 troops.

Meng Tian saw this matter very thoroughly, and only then did he understand that after giving up the Turkish army fortress, the fate that Montessori would usher in would definitely not be too good.

He didn't expect it.

His grandfather knew this, but he would rather choose to give in than die and live again.
