Chapter 124: Zhao Wangdan has no soldiers to adjust
"Who said that I am Da Zhao, there are no soldiers to adjust." Zhao Wangdan looked at the courtiers, the territory of Zhao State is not narrow, how can there be no soldiers to adjust, "If the widow wants to hold Handan, he will not abandon Changping." If the widow does not fight, abandon Zhao Guoerlang. Isn't it ridiculed by the people of the world and chills the hearts of the people. ”
Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan did not have a long-term strategic outlook on the conquest, but only relied on a momentary blood and bravery. Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wang Dan couldn't distinguish between priority and priority, and he would push Zhao Guo into the abyss.
Pingyang Jun saw that the only person who could persuade King Zhao to retire was Pingyuan Jun, and bowed to him: "Pingyuan Jun, it is a matter of Handan's safety and the rise and fall of Sheji." At this time, you can't be confused. ”
Pingyuan Jun also wanted to fight Qin to the end, but Bai Qi went to war, and the Changping army was surrounded. Even if the defenders of Handan come out, can they break the deadlock? If the battle is defeated, the Qin State will be angry and will definitely enter Handan. Handan is lost, the society is overthrown, how can he be worthy of his father and brother, worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family, and the achievements of overcoming the thorns and waves.
On the one hand, the ancestors of the Zhao family struggled and earned the foundation; On the other side are hundreds of thousands of Zhao Guoerlang, who are in prison. Guarding Handan? Or abandon Changping? This question, in front of Pingyuanjun, also made him unable to make up his mind.
Seeing that the courtiers were all looking at him, Pingyuan Jun felt helpless and asked, "Everyone, what should I do?" ”
"Pingyuanjun, that's hundreds of thousands of Zhao Guoerlang. We cannot afford to abandon it. Yu Qing saw that Pingyuan Jun was guarding Handan and abandoning Changping, although he did not make it clear. However, Yu Qing knew that Jiangshan Sheji was the choice of Pingyuan Jun.
Pingyuan Jun didn't say anything, looked at Da Sima, and asked, "In a short period of time, the Qin State can recruit 200,000 troops in Hanoi. How long will it take for us to recruit 200,000 troops? ”
Da Sima said sadly: "At least a month." ”
"A month?" Hirahara-kun couldn't accept this answer.
One person shouted: "The king of Qin has recruited 200,000 troops in Hanoi, which is enough to see the strength of the Qin state." Qin also has Ba and Shu that have not been warn, as well as Hexi, Shangjun, Wujun, Qianzhong and so on. We can't defeat the Qin State. ”
Lou Chang said: "Even if we recruit 200,000 new soldiers, if we don't step up training, go to the battlefield, and fight against Bai Qi and other famous generals, it will only increase casualties." ”
Yu Qing didn't want to fall into the arrogance of the Zhao man, and shouted: "If you can't win, you have to fight." This is not only our attitude of not retreating to the princes, but also a declaration to the Qin State of our country's determination to fight to the death. ”
Pingyuan Jun asked, "If we increase our troops, can we win against Qin Guohu?" ”
Yu Qing replied: "The Qin State is surrounding Changping, and it seems that we are at a disadvantage. We send troops to help, and the situation will be reversed. ”
Pingyangjun answered: "How to reverse? ”
Yu Qing's tone was neither high nor low, and he replied calmly: "The reinforcements we sent, combined with the army of Changping, can counter-encircle the Qin army by attacking inside and outside." We won't win this battle, and we won't lose it. ”
Lou Chang mocked: "We poured all our strength into Changping, but the result we got was neither losing nor winning." ”
"Don't lose or win, that's the best result." Yu Qing's expression sank, and he said miserably: "If we don't send troops to help, the army of Changping will be in a dangerous situation, and even the whole army will be wiped out." If our country is defeated, it will be greatly damaged. No longer has the strength to compete with the Qin State. ”
Seeing that Zhao Wangdan didn't speak, Pingyang Jun asked, "We recruited 200,000 soldiers and sent them to Changping." Who can command a great army and go to fight against Bai Qi? ”
Yu Qing blurted out: "Lian Po, Du Changjun, Le Cheng, Xu Li and others can all be up to the task." ”
"Who dares to fight against Bai Qi?" Zhao Wangdan's words were said to the courtiers and to the clan.
Zhao Wangdan replaced Lian Po with Ma Fuzi, and he would not let Lian Po take command again. Du Changjun returned from the Qi country, and he couldn't get sick. Xu Li wanted to garrison Daijun to defend the Yan State and deter Beihu. How can the capital of Lecheng fight against Bai Qi.
Moreover, King Zhao did not dare to use them boldly against the generals of the north and the generals with foreign surnames. At this moment, he still has to be trusted to make him feel at ease. However, the Zhao family is up to the task, but there is no suitable candidate.
Zhao Wangdan thought to himself: "My grandfather had generals such as Zhao Jue and Zhao Xi; When he was a father, he also had a horse to serve Jun Zhao Hao. By the time he arrived, there was a horse suit, Zhao Kuo, but he was besieged by the Qin army. The descendants of the Zhao family can fight well, but to this day, why is no one able to resist the Qin army. ”
Zhao Wangdan waited for a while, and no one was willing to conquer the Qin State for him. Although Zhao Wangdan was cold in his heart, he did not back down, and shouted: "The top priority should be to rescue the siege of Changping first." It takes time to recruit soldiers. The widow decided to drive the 100,000 soldiers garrisoned in Handan to Changping. ”
Seeing that Zhao Wangdan had made a mistake in the chaos and lost his judgment of the situation, Pingyuan Jun shouted: "Your Majesty, we have 100,000 garrisons in Handan. Don't do it, it's easy. This is the last strength we have to guard Handan and preserve the shrine of the temple. ”
When Pingyang Jun heard this, he also said: "Your Majesty, all these 100,000 soldiers have been invested in Changping. Handan is an empty city. The princes are coming, how should we respond? ”
Da Situ also said: "Your Majesty, the last army of Handan to defend the city cannot be mobilized. This is our last strength. Please, think twice. ”
The courtiers saw that Pingyuanjun, Pingyangjun and others were all opposed, and they also said in unison: "Please, the king thinks twice." ”
Zhao Wangdan saw that no one in the hall understood his intentions, and said angrily: "Handan's military strength cannot be mobilized." How about the outnumbered people let the soldiers of the county go south. ”
"It's too late!" Pingyuan Jun said: "Transferring troops from Daijun to the south, far water can't quench the thirst of the near." The soldiers of Daijun have not yet arrived in Changping. The army of Changping had already been broken by the Qin State. ”
Pingyang Jun added: "The soldiers of the county are still insufficient to guard against Yan Guo and Hu trouble. We were easily mobilized, and we were informed by Yan Guo and Beihu that they would definitely lead their troops south to take our Dai County. ”
Zhao Wangdan gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence: "Yan Guo signed an alliance with my country under the city, how could he take advantage of the situation to cut me down and fall into the ground." ”
Pingyuan Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan's idea was too whimsical. If the two countries do not invade each other, how can they rely on a single piece of paper. The only way to maintain peace and suppress the princes is to have a strong national strength.
Pingyuan Jun knew that this nephew, when he encountered trouble, he was always unable to hold his breath, and he didn't like to think about problems carefully, so he said patiently: "Yan Guo has coveted my country's Daijun for a long time. A few years ago, King Yan was defeated by us and cut off three cities, and the shame is still there. We will go south with the soldiers of Daijun and gallop to the aid of Changping. When Yan Guo senses a change, he will seize the fighter plane and make me ashamed. We have to wage war with Qin in Changping, as well as resist the invasion of Yan. Changping attacked the Qin State, and Daijun attacked the Yan State, and the situation was even more unfavorable to our country. ”
"Tell the widow how much strength we have left to fight." Zhao Wangdan didn't want to know how bad the battle situation was for him. He wanted to know how to win the Qin State and recover the Shangdang.
Seeing Zhao Wangdan's question, Da Sima hurriedly said: "Changping has gathered two-thirds of our country's troops. At this moment, there are not many military forces that our country can mobilize and rush to the battlefield. ”
"Not much, how much. You give the widow, a number. Zhao Wangdan was not satisfied with this vague answer.
"Minister, it's hard to say." Seeing that Zhao Wangdan was in too much of a hurry, Nuoda's sweat beads came out of his forehead.
"Can't say? That's the answer you give to the widow. Zhao Wangdan said angrily: "You are the widowed Sima, how many soldiers and generals there are in my country, but you don't know." What use does the widow want from you? ”
Da Sima pleaded guilty and said: "Minister, incompetent." ”
Pingyuan Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan intended to vent his anger on Da Sima, and he also felt that Da Sima's difficulty was not easy. In the past few years, Da Sima has been busy with the war in Changping, transferring troops, raising grain and grass, and casting ordnance.
Pingyuan Jun couldn't bear it, and spoke for him: "Your Majesty, it's not easy for him. ”
"It's not easy for him, and it's even more difficult for widows." Zhao Wangdan asked, "Do any of you have the ability to tell the widow?" How much more military power can our country mobilize. ”
Pingyuanjun was also familiar with military politics, and seeing that no one answered this question, he replied: "When Changping started the war, we sent 450,000 troops back and forth. This is more than half of our country's combatable strength. We now have 100,000 troops in Handan, 50,000 in Dai County, 50,000 in Jinyang County, 50,000 in Yunzhong and Yanmen Counties, 20,000 in Qi and Zhao Border Areas, and 20,000 in Zhongmu Garrison. Combined, we have less than 300,000 troops. ”
"Uncle, how many soldiers can we deploy and fight?" Zhao Wangdan didn't expect Pingyuan Jun to be able to tell the general situation of Zhao Guo, and when he heard the number of less than 300,000, he had a bottom in his heart.
Pingyuanjun estimated a little, and replied with little confidence: "Less than thirty thousand." ”
Zhao Wangdan said in shock: "We still have 300,000 troops, which can be adjusted and can be fought, how can it be less than 30,000?" Uncle, there are mistakes and omissions in this answer. ”
"If the king doesn't believe it, the minister will calculate the number." Pingyuan Jun deliberately stopped and slowed down his tone, "Handan, 100,000 troops are the last force we have to defend the national capital, and we can't act rashly." ”
Zhao Wangdan hurriedly said: "Handan has 100,000 troops, we will not move." There are still 200,000 in our country, how can it be less than 30,000? ”
"Don't be in a hurry, and listen to me slowly." Pingyuan Jun said again: "The 50,000 soldiers of Daijun have to guard against Yan Guo, and they can't move if they are also on guard against Hu Trouble." ”
Zhao Wangdan saw that Handan couldn't move, and Daijun couldn't move, "The widow mobilized the troops of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and the Great Wall to go south to relieve the siege." ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "The soldiers of the Great Wall can't move. ”
"Why can't you mobilize the troops of the Great Wall? That's the elite soldier of our country. If they are sent south, they may be able to turn the tide. ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "The soldiers of the Great Wall are good at field warfare, not good at attacking fortifications. They are our powerful weapon to deter Beihu. We mobilized the troops of the Great Wall and galloped south to help. The defense of the Great Wall is weak, and the north is on the border of Hukou. The land of the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Jiuyuan will be out of our control. ”
"These three counties are the territory that the ancestor Wuling King has conquered with blood and tears, and they cannot be lost. Once lost, how do we face the Martial Spirit King. "In the twenty-eighth year of King Zhao Huiwen, Pingyang Jun went to Beihu. Pingyang Jun was attacked and was crowned by the first king. In the clouds, Yanmen, the soldiers of the Great Wall, cannot be mobilized, he has the most right to speak and persuasion.
"The soldiers of the Northland cannot be mobilized." Zhao Wangdan pondered for a while, and then said: "The widow can only mobilize the troops of Jinyang and go to help. ”
Pingyuan Jun shook his head and said, "The connection between Jinyang County and the Changping Army has long been cut off by the Qin Army. Jinyang is still insufficient to defend the city and protect itself. With the soldiers of Jinyang, we went south to rescue Changping. Bai Qi made a surprise attack, and he will definitely be able to take Jinyang. Jinyang could not break the siege, but would be occupied by the Qin army. ”
Zhao Wangdan saw that he couldn't move this, and he couldn't drop it, so he asked, "Uncle, where did these 30,000 soldiers come from?" ”
"We are stationed in the east, 20,000 soldiers, to guard against the kingdom of Qi. Garrison 20,000 in Zhongmu and beware of Wei. Qi and Zhao are better and can withdraw 10,000 troops. There is no war between our country and Wei, and 10,000 troops can be withdrawn. Elsewhere, it can be mobilized, adding up to less than 30,000. ”
Zhao Wangdan asked: "Qi and China are better, why don't you withdraw all 20,000 people." ”
Pingyang Jun answered: "Qi and China are better, but we have enough to buy grain and grass for Qi country, but we were rejected by Linzi Junchen. Qi State's intentions towards our country are bright and dark. The monarchs and ministers of the State of Qi saw that the Qin army was dragging the main force of our army. If Qi sends 30,000 troops, it will be able to break through our borders and drive straight into Handan. ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "The Qi State sent 100,000 troops to Handan. China has Hu and Yan in the north, Qin in the west, and Qi in the east. Our country will be deceived by the princes. ”
"Uncle means that we have no troops to send."
Hirahara-kun nodded in reply.
"Could it be that we will do nothing when we see hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters, in a predicament, and may be surrounded and annihilated by the Qin army at any time." When Zhao Wangdan learned this information, his heart swelled up with unprecedented fear.
"Our country is mired in four wars, and it is at odds with its princes. When the princes see that I can be deceived, they will unite and divide our country. Our country will become the State of Qi and the State of Chu, and under the joint offensive of the princes, the country will be weakened, and even the society will be destroyed. Pingyuanjun shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "We have no troops to adjust, so we can't do anything!" ”
