Chapter Seventy-Four: Lian Po and Wang Di

The Qin general Hu Yan led 5,000 soldiers, murderous, and rushed straight to the Dan River to find the main force of Zhao. Wang Ling saw that Wang Di had handed over such an important task to Hu Yan, who was not as good as himself, and asked Zhan to say: "General, the last general is willing to lead 3,000 men and horses to find the main force of the Zhao army." ”

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "The five doctors broke through the Second Wolf City, and then took the Light Wolf City, and achieved great success. The five doctors still take a break and fight Zhao Jun again. As for finding the main force of the Zhao army, let them do it. ”

When Wang Ling saw Wang Di, he said this, bowed, and stepped aside.

Wang Yi said: "Last night attacked the city, our army was tired. We will first go back to Guangwolf City to rest, and then send troops to the Dan River to fight Lianpo. ”

The generals said loudly: "Huh." ”

Wang Di didn't let Wang Ling go to find the main force of Zhao State, but he was actually selfish. He knew that at the end of this river was the Dan River. After crossing the Dan River and going forward for more than ten miles, it is Zhao Changping. He speculated that Zhao General Lian Po, who had lost a few cities, would definitely defend the Dan River.

If Changping is lost, the door of Handan in Zhao will also be opened. If Lian Po is really a famous general, he will not retreat again and again, and will definitely wait for him in the Dan River.

Back in the Light Wolf City, the Qin generals saw that they had broken through the Light Wolf City, and the results were quite fruitful and they had won a big victory, but they all laughed at the weakness of the Zhao army, and in less than a few days, they could fight with Lian Po, take the Dan River, and capture Changping.

When Wang Ji saw that the generals had won a few battles, he got carried away. This kind of atmosphere is spreading, and defeat is not far away. Wang Di's face sank, looked at the generals, and didn't say a word. The generals saw that Wang Di's face was different, and they were silent.

"Why don't you brag about it?" Seeing that the generals did not speak, Wang Yi looked at them and asked, "Do you know Zhao Zuhu?" ”

One humanitarian: "Our army fought with Zhao Shu several times, and Zhao Shu was defeated. Zhao's combat strength is far inferior to that of my Great Qin soldiers. After a few rounds, Zhao Zu didn't have much ability. ”

Another said, "Look! Lian Po is also in vain. ”

"Sanjin men, how brave they have been since ancient times." Wang Yi deliberately raised his tone, "We won a few small battles, and you are so arrogant. We haven't played against Lian Po yet, won Changping, what do you have to be happy about. ”

Wang Ling and Wang Ye fought with Zhao of Light Wolf City, especially when they besieged Zhao General Xu Lian and others, the combat power of Zhao State was still fresh in their memories.

Seeing that the generals didn't speak, Wang Ling looked at Wang Ji and said, "What the general said is that we can't despise Zhao Zu just because of a few small victories. They are after the Hufu cavalry shooting, Zhao Guo is a good son. ”

Wang Ye said: "General, for some reason, I always feel that it is too easy for us to win. Eryan City, Light Wolf City, Zhao Pawn tens of thousands, resisted our hundreds of thousands of troops for several months. Zhao Shu's combat power is not weaker than ours. ”

Although Meng Wei had just arrived at the front line with his army, he had seen Zhao Shu's combat power from the Battle of Light Wolf City. Since the Hangu Pass, the Qin State was broken by the combined forces of Qi, Han and Wei. When they fought with the princes, they all won more with less. However, in a battle with Zhao Shu, one-on-one, the Qin army could not gain the upper hand. The battle of Yan and Yan was also the worst defeat of the Qin State in more than 30 years.

Seeing Wang Di's eyes looking at him, Meng Fu also said: "General, we can easily win a big victory, will there be fraud." ”

"If it is too easy to win, nine times out of ten it must be a fraud." Wang Yi saw that among the generals, there were still a few sober people, and his tone softened: "The Zhao army has lost a few battles, lost a few cities, and lost some soldiers. However, we were also blocked by Zhao for several months. Lian Po, Xu Li, Le Cheng, Tian Dan, Lou Chang and others are all famous generals of Zhao State. We have been at war with Zhao for so long, and not a single famous general has shown up. ”

Wang Ling asked, "General, what are you worried about?" ”

Wang Ji said: "We fought with the princes of Han, Wei, Chu and other princes, and they were all defeated with one blow, and they ceded the land and asked for peace. Zhao was defeated several times, but it did not affect their morale, but became more and more courageous. Why do you say that? ”

Wang Ye said: "Zhao Guo has been defeated in several battles, of course, it is my Great Qin's division, invincible. Zhao Guo was defeated without a single blow, and the last general could not answer. ”

Meng Fu said: "The general is worried, this is a cheap plan. ”

"Zhao State's consecutive defeats, in addition to our army's heroic fighting, there is also the strategy of Lian Po's arrogant soldiers." Wang Di slowed down his tone and said: "For Zhao Shu, this is the plan to mourn the soldiers. I'm worried! Lian Po used the strategy of arrogance to confuse our army. Take advantage of my unpreparedness and strike back. A small victory is proud, and disaster is not far away! ”

When Wang Ling and the others heard this, they said in unison: "We will carefully abide by the words of the general, guard against arrogance and rashness, and make persistent efforts." ”

Wang Yi said happily: "You can be like this, why worry about big things." ”

Wang Ling fought with the Zhao army, and the battle line was too long, and he also found the shortcomings, and asked: "General, we are on an expedition with labor, and there is a shortage of food, grass, and ordnance. Although we have inflicted heavy losses on the Zhao army, we have pulled out a few cities. However, our army also suffered a lot of casualties. Lian Po will not fight hard with us, and will stop me with the city. So how to do it. ”

Wang Ye said in a rough voice: "What the five doctors said is true. When we fought, we killed the generals of Zhao Guo, captured Gaoping Fortress, and occupied Laomaling. However, in front of my army, there are one city after another. The Second Wolf City and the Light Wolf City also slowed down our pace. I don't know what other city awaits us in front of us. If one city is struck, another city will be struck. If we hit the Dan River and Changping, we will lose more than half of our troops. ”

Wang Di said: "This is exactly what Lian Po wants to achieve, and I am also worried about this matter!" ”

"General, don't worry. The last general thinks that it will not be long before we can fight with Zhao Jianglian. Seeing that Wang Di did not interrupt him, Meng Fu continued: "The news of Zhao's consecutive defeats has spread throughout Zhao. Lian Po is defeated again, and he will not fight with us. Zhao Wangdan will also force Lian Po to go to war with us. ”

Wang Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad." Zhao Wangdan is young and vigorous, and seeing that we have defeated Zhao several times, he will definitely force Lian Po to take the initiative to fight. ”

Meng Fu said again: "If we take the Light Wolf City, it is equivalent to opening the door of Changping. This place is less than fifty miles away from the Dan River. When we reach the Dan River, Liem Po will definitely fight back. ”

Wang Yi said: "General Meng thinks that the Zhao army will fight with us in the Dan River. ”

Meng Fu nodded and said, "Danhe, to the Zhao army, is very important to our army. If Lian Po retreats without a fight, he will live up to his reputation. ”

Wang Ye said: "Great. Finally able to fight with Lian Po. This day has finally arrived. ”

Wang Ling said: "I also want to fight with Lian Po. ”

Wang Yi let out a heavy breath and said happily: "It's finally time to start a war with Lian Po." ”

At this moment, the first lieutenant came in a hurry and shouted: "General, we have found the main force of the Zhao army. ”

Wang Yi asked: "Where is the main force of the Zhao army?" ”

"The main force of the Zhao army is deployed in the Dan River."

Wang Ye said excitedly: "Great, I finally found Lian Po." ”

"General Meng, you are right. The decisive battle between us and Zhao General Lian Po was actually in the Dan River. Seeing that he had found the main force of the Zhao army, Wang Yi's eyes swelled with a strong fighting intent.

Wang Ling came out and said: "The last general is willing to lead an army of 30,000 to go ahead and fight with the main force of the Zhao army to find out the strength of the Zhao State." ”

Wang Ye also said: "The last general is also willing to follow the five doctors and go to meet Lian Po." ”

"Our opponent is Lian Po, and we can't be careless." Wang Yi said again: "The order is sent down, and the whole army arrives at the Dan River and fights with Lian Po. ”

Lian Po and Pingyuan Jun were fortifying on the west side of the Dan River to intercept the Qin army. A scout came quickly, and said in a lost voice: "Old General Lian, the Light Wolf City has been lost." ”

"What do you say? Light Wolf City is lost. When Lian Po heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he asked, "The Qin army's offensive is even more fierce than I imagined. ”

Seeing that he had lost another city, Pingyuan Jun hurriedly said: "Old General Lian, we have lost the Light Wolf City, how to deal with it next." ”

Lian Po asked: "Shi Mo, Sima Lang, Xu Lian and others, how is it?" ”

The scout cried, "None of them were spared, all of them were killed." ”

"Alas!" Pingyuanjun shouted and shouted sadly: "My tens of thousands of men are gone." ”

Lian Po pressed the hilt of the sword with his left hand, not sad, but laughed and said: "They are all good, worthy of my Zhao boy." Pingyuanjun, we have to be proud that my descendants of the Zhao family have such a man. ”

Pingyuanjun and the others were all caught in the grief and indignation of the death of the soldiers, but they just looked at Lian Po and didn't speak.

Seeing that the generals around him were shrouded in a sad atmosphere, Lian Po said with relief: "They used their lives to intercept the Qin army for several months, so as to buy time for us to build fortifications. We can't let them die in vain. ”

"General Lian is right. We can't let them die in vain. Pingyuanjun asked, "Old General Lian, the Light Wolf City has been lost. We have no danger to defend, what should we do? ”

Lian Po shouted: "We have no way to retreat but to start a war with the Qin State to avenge the fallen soldiers." ”

At this time, a lieutenant, riding a fast horse, came in a hurry and shouted: "Old General Lian, ten miles ahead, I found the Qin army." ”

The generals didn't expect the Qin army to come so quickly, they all looked at Lian Po and asked him to take an idea.

Lian Po's expression remained unchanged, and he asked lightly, "How many people?" ”

The scout said, "Five thousand." ”

"There are only 5,000 people, how dare you be so presumptuous, and despise me for three Jin and no man?" Lian Po shouted: "It's just in time, pass the order, kill the Qin army, and pay tribute to the fallen soldiers." ”

The first general said: "Old General Lian, the Qin army is attacking fiercely, should we retreat to the east side of the Dan River to set up defenses." ”

Another humanitarian: "On the west side of the Dan River, there is no danger to defend." The news of the loss of Light Wolf City will definitely affect the morale of our army. ”

Pingyuan Jun also said: "Old General Lian, we will withdraw across the Dan River and use the Dan River to set up defenses. ”

The generals also said: "Please give the order of General Lian and withdraw across the Dan River." ”

"The Dan River is our line of defense to intercept the Qin army, and we can't retreat. If we retreat, we will be defeated. Lian Po made up his mind, never back, and shouted: "Che Ying listens to the order." ”

Che Ying said: "The end will be." ”

Lian Po said: "You lead 3,000 people to the battle. ”

Che Ying said loudly: "The last general will definitely kill the Qin army and avenge the fallen soldiers." ”

Lian Po said: "I want you to retreat in a rout after the battle." ”

"Old General Lian, the last general doesn't understand." Not only Che Ying didn't understand, but even Ping Yuanjun and others didn't understand.

Lian Po didn't explain, and waved his hand: "Just carry out the military order." ”

Although Che Ying didn't understand, he also carried out the military order and saluted: "Oh." ”

Lian Po said again: "Xu Yu." ”

"The end will be."

"You lead 10,000 men to the upper reaches and block the waters of the Dan River. When the wolf smoke rises, dig the embankment. ”

"Whoa."

"Li Su."

"The end will be."

"You lead 20,000 soldiers to garrison the boundary stone monument and defend the Qin army."

"Whoa."

"Pingyuan Jun led 50,000 soldiers and garrisoned the east side of the Dan River."

"If I leave, there will be less than 100,000 soldiers around General Lian. I am willing to stay and fight against the Qin army with General Lian. ”

Lian Po said confidently: "The Qin army came thousands of miles, first fought with South Korea for several years, and then fought with us for several months. At this time, the peak of the soldiers had declined, and I fought them in Changping. With the victory in the first battle, we were able to not only motivate the three armies and hold their positions, but also to dampen their spirits. ”

Pingyuan Jun arched his hand and said: "Obey the orders of the old general." ”

Lian Po asked: "Whether we can intercept the Qin army and stabilize the position depends on you." ”

The Qin general Hu Yan led 5,000 soldiers and was five miles away from the Dan River. The scout came and said, "General Hu, I found that the Zhao army was rushing towards me. ”

"How many people."

"Three thousand."

"Great." Hu Yan said: "We are 5,000, and Zhao is 3,000, which is the time for us to make contributions." Pass my orders, and the whole army will attack. ”

Hu Yan led the army to kill the Zhao army, and the Zhao general Che Ying fought, lost his armor and lost very embarrassed. Hu Yan saw that Zhao was vulnerable, so he led the army to rush and kill and won the battle. But it was besieged by the Zhao army. Hu Yan saw that he couldn't get out of the battle, so he killed himself. The 5,000 soldiers of the Qin State were all killed in battle.

Zhao Jun learned that the Qin army was killed by 5,000 in the first battle, and his morale was greatly increased.

Lian Po said loudly to the generals: "We will kill the Qin army by 5,000, and in less than half an hour, the main force of the Qin army will arrive at the river." Our big war with the Qin army is about to begin. Being able to go through great battles in our lives is an opportunity from God to make great contributions. It is also the time for us to avenge the fallen soldiers. At this time, if you don't make contributions, you won't be ashamed, but when. ”

The generals said in unison: "Kill, kill, kill." ”

The scout came on horseback and said, "Old General Lian, the main force of the Qin army, is less than three miles away from us. ”

"Okay." Lian Po said again: "Today, I will inform you with a big war. How can you live up to the rest of your life, and how can you become a famous general that the enemy fears. Raise the blade in your hands and defend with blood, the honor of the three Jin men. ”

Lian Po looked at the dust and smoke in front of him, the earth shook, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Seeing that the Zhao army was waiting for the battle, Wang Yi ordered to stop the advance and line up to meet the battle.

Wang Ling pointed ahead and said, "General, that's Lian Po." ”

Wang Yi looked into the crowd and shouted: "Dare to ask General Zhao, but Lian Po." ”

Lian Po shouted: "I am Lian Po also." Who is you? ”

Wang Yi said: "Wang Di, I have long heard of the name of General Lian. Today, playing against General Lian Lao is also what he wants. ”

Lian Po said: "You know my name, why don't you retreat." ”

Wang said: "As a general, I hope to meet stronger opponents, so that I will not be lonely in my life." I thought about it all night, I just wanted to fight with General Lian. ”

"You can make me lose the city and land, lose the army, and you are also an outstanding general." Lian Po said again: "It's a pity, your opponent is me." From now on, you don't want to go one step further. ”

"Hearing the words of the old general, I feel very honored."

"Do you think this battle will be won by you or by me?"

"To be able to fight with a famous general like General Lian, I am still honored to be defeated." Wang Yi drew his long sword and said in a loud voice: "All the soldiers listen to the order, beat the drum, and start the war." ”

Lian Po also drew his long sword and shouted: "Da Zhao Nan'er listens to the order, beats the drum, and goes to war." ”
