Chapter 23: Appetite

Wang Yi was still young, and he said directly when he thought of something: "Your Majesty, since Gu Ci is not in charge of the army, the last general thinks that as long as he can capture the Danzhu Ridge garrisoned by Zhao State, a few casualties are nothing!" ”

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Di's words, and subconsciously touched his cheek: "What does General Wang mean is that General Ben is merciful?" ”

Wang Yi was directly stopped by Bai Qi's rhetorical question, who was standing in front of him, he was Wu Anjun Bai Qi, the one who was ruthless in order to kill the pawns with no future. Is this a twitch in the head, how can you think that Bai Qi is benevolent?

Wang Yi stood there not knowing what to say, twitched the corners of his mouth, and stood in place in embarrassment.

Bai Qi didn't dwell on this problem, and he walked to the military map hanging in the tent. The fingers were slowly moving along the traces of the cowhide, and they stopped directly at the place where Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was located on the map.

"General Wang, come and tell the general, where is this place?"

Wang Yi looked up at the place where Bai raised his finger, and replied without the slightest hesitation: "Your Excellency, what your lord is referring to is Handan, the capital of Zhao State. ”

Bai Qi nodded, and his fingers kept circling around the place of Handan: "Do you know why I insist on annihilating the 400,000 troops of the Zhao State stationed here?" ”

"I don't know the end, and I hope that the king will make it clear."

"The 400,000 troops here can be said to have gathered three-quarters of the strength of the Zhao State, if we can annihilate the 400,000 troops in one fell swoop, it will be a good way from Shangdang to Handan. The remaining forces of Zhao are still far away in Daijun to guard against the Xiongnu, if we can smoothly advance Handan, I am sure that before the reinforcements of Zhao arrive, I will completely destroy Zhao State! ”

After Bai Qi finished speaking, there was a fierce light in his eyes, and he had no intention of leaving a way to live for the Zhao troops on the opposite side from the beginning. In his mind, from the moment he came to Changping, he had already sentenced 400,000 people in Zhao State to death.

Wang Ji didn't expect that the war here was far from over, and Bai Qi was already thinking about how to destroy the Zhao State. He looked at Bai Qi in horror, is this the gap between himself and Wu Anjun Bai Qi?

Bai Qi sneered disdainfully, and sat back on his seat: "I don't care about the general of the party and the county, the whole country of Zhao is the biggest purpose for me to come to Changping, does General Wang understand now?" ”

Wang Yi now understands that the reason why Bai Qi did not choose to attack was not because he was worried about the casualties of the Qin army, but because he wanted to preserve the only living force in his hands to the greatest extent and pocket Zhao in one fell swoop.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind at this time, Wu Anjun in front of him had 500,000 troops in his hands, if he stayed here after destroying the Zhao State, how should the king of the Qin State deal with himself?

Bai Qi naturally didn't know the thought that was popping up in Wang Di's head now, and he waved his hand casually: "If General Wang has nothing to do, he can go out, and he will need to think carefully about how to deal with Zhao Kuo on the other side." ”

Wang Yi obediently withdrew from Bai Qi's big tent, and was blown by the autumn wind only to realize that his entire back was soaked, and it was not easy to face Bai Qi alone.

He returned to his tent, immediately wrote his thoughts into a letter and called his henchman Wang Wei over: "You go back to Xianyang quickly and hand over the bamboo slips to Fan Xiang in person." Remember to hand it over to Fan Xiang, understand? ”

Wang Wei took the bamboo slip from Wang Di's hand and put it directly into his arms: "Yes, the subordinates understand, and the subordinates will set off immediately." ”

Zhao Kuo, who was watching the training of Zhao soldiers in the camp of the Zhao army in Danzhuling, naturally did not know what was happening in the camp of the Qin State on the other side, and he had already put aside the idea of studying the strategy of Bai Qi, and it was only right to train the soldiers of the Zhao State first.

So he chose to come to the barracks of the 60,000 elite infantry led by Wei Chen, Wei Chen had seen Zhao Kuo's figure a long time ago, and when he saw that he finally chose to come to his barracks, he immediately chose to walk up to him: "General, why do you have time to come to me?" ”

Zhao Kuo looked at the foot soldiers who were training in full swing, and said to Wei Chen with a smile: "I came over to see the soldiers who have made great achievements, I thought that you would let them rest and rest after winning the battle, but I didn't expect to start training directly?" ”

"General, although we won the battle just now, we also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. With such a large number of casualties in the case of outnumbering the other party, we are still far from the group of foot soldiers in the Qin State. In order for Zhao Guohao'er Lang to walk off the battlefield alive, they must always keep training at all times. ”

Wei Chen can still be so objective after winning the battle, which makes Zhao Kuo very pleased. is worthy of being a lieutenant selected by himself, and having such a sober understanding is absolutely one in ten thousand.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Kuo couldn't help frowning: "General Wei, have you found the reason for the 10,000 casualties of our troops?" ”

Wei Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then glanced at Zhao Kuo and said, "These 60,000 foot soldiers are still very different from the soldiers of the Qin army in the assault fight, which is why the casualties are so heavy. ”

"So you look at them, train them so you don't hurt your own people. You tell our soldiers that even in training, they must fight as a real battle, otherwise will the enemy attack like this when they go to the battlefield? ”

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Wei Chen was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "General Qiyu, it's not that these soldiers are afraid of hurting their own people, it's really because our army has too many doctors, and the soldiers are also forced to do so. ”

Zhao Kuo didn't expect this to be such a problem, but he didn't know what to say now. The allocation of doctors in the army is determined by Handan, and there is nothing they can do if there are only so many people.

However, the living must not let the urine suffocate to death, he thought for a long time before he spoke: "General Wei, you let the deputy commander take the lead in training the soldiers, you come with me." Vine, Fuji, where did he die? ”

Teng, who was watching the soldiers training with great interest, heard Zhao Kuo's shout, ran over with a smoke, and said with a simple smile: "General, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Kuo looked at the smile on Teng Ke's face, sighed and said, "You go and bring Sun Qi to the big tent of the Chinese army, just say that I have something to find him." ”

"Okay, my subordinates will go and bring Doctor Qi over immediately."

"You fool, let people come over, don't really be carried over by you, understand?"

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will go."

Looking at the back of Teng Qi's departure, Zhao Kuo patted his head speechlessly. To say that Teng is really a good hand in the guards, but this brain is indeed a little difficult to use, no wonder he let Feng Duan be a gunman in the first place.

Although Wei Chen didn't know what Zhao Kuo wanted to follow him by himself, as a qualified deputy general, the main general would definitely obey him unconditionally, so he didn't ask and chose to follow Zhao Kuo directly.
