Chapter 8: Initial Strategy

Xi Ying raised his head and met Zhao Kuo's sharp gaze, at this time he suddenly noticed that the main general he looked down on before had changed drastically, and he had never felt that kind of look even on General Lian Po.

Seeing that Xi Ying looked at him blankly, but did not answer his question, Zhao Kuo's straight sword eyebrows wrinkled together: "General Xi, it seems that you seem to be in trouble?" ”

Hearing Zhao Kuo's unkind tone, Xi Ying reacted at this time, and quickly stood up and saluted with fists: "Since the general handed over the saddle gully to Lao Xi's hands, even if I fight for my life, I will be safe here, please rest assured general!" ”

"Okay, that's what you want!" Zhao Kuo stroked his palms and admired, "General Lian Po's subordinates really don't have a bad seed, enough for you!" ”

Xi Ying scratched his head embarrassedly, but obviously Zhao Kuo's admiration came to his heart, and at such an instant, he felt that Zhao Kuo was quite good as the chief general of the Changping garrison.

After placing Xi Ying in the dangerous area of Saddle Gully, Zhao Kuo's gaze shifted to Wei Chen's head: "Wei Chen, where are the 200,000 reinforcements brought over at the moment?" ”

"General, the 200,000 reinforcements we brought from Handan are repairing the heavy camp, what instructions does the general have?"

"Wei Chen, you go to the baggage camp to pass my orders, and bring those 50,000 cavalry to the front line, I will be useful; Second, to carry out a martial arts competition in the military camp, I need to extract the best of the best, and the 60,000 foot soldiers who won the competition will be brought to me. ”

"General, what does the martial arts contest mean?" Hearing Zhao Kuo's order made Wei Chen a little confused, he found that he couldn't understand the general's order, and asked embarrassedly.

"It's the horn, go quickly!" Zhao Kuo forgot that the Warring States did not have the term martial arts competition at this time, and hurriedly changed his words to deal with Wei Chen's questions.

"The last will obey."

Wei Chen's attitude has always made Zhao Kuo very satisfied, and this time is no exception. Seeing that Wei Chen understood his intentions, Zhao Kuo nodded and turned his gaze to the rest of the generals present: "Commanders, to put it mildly, the battle of the party is related to the life and death of our Zhao State. If we are defeated here, the group of tigers and wolves of the Qin State can drive straight into Handan. For the sake of this victory, I did not hesitate to disobey the king's order and take General Lian Po's defense as the supreme and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. All the commanders have to show me all their fighting spirit, and I must not let the Qin State step through the old pass, do you understand? ”

"No!"

"You are all fucking pussies, your voice is a little louder for Lao Tzu!"

"No!"

The uniform voice of all the generals and officers came from the military tent, and this sound spread through the military tent to the surroundings, and even the soldiers stationed around them were refreshed and more concentrated.

"Alright, train all your sons. More sweat in training, less bloodshed in wartime, understand? Zhao Kuo waved his hand and drove these generals out of the camp.

After completing a series of arrangements, Zhao Kuo slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent and took his two guards to the viewing pavilion located at a high place.

In this position, the situation on both sides of the Danshui can be seen in full view, and Zhao Kuo even vaguely saw the black qi rising from the sky in the Qin army's big tent, completely enveloping the west bank of the Danshui.

If it was the original Zhao Kuo, he should have insisted on going his own way at this time, commanding more than 400,000 Zhao troops to go west out of his hometown, capture the Hyun clan and confront the Qin army on the east bank of the Dan River.

However, Han Wang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, which stood quietly, were like a pocket, cutting off the possibility of Zhao Jun starting a decisive battle with the Qin army. In the end, it could only fight a decisive battle with the 500,000 Qin army, which was completely spread out from front to back, and after Bai Qi captured Changping Pass and Ma'an Gully, in fact, this strategic decisive battle had come to an end.

But now that it has been replaced by himself, even if the Qin army has already put the vanguard camp under his nose, I am afraid that he will not give up Dan Zhuling and take the Hyun clan.

Zhao Kuo looked at the terrain under his feet on the viewing pavilion, and an idea was gradually taking shape. He wants to turn Guguan into a meat grinder for the Qin army, just like the French did in Verdun, and the Qin army he wants to fight will completely destroy the idea of advancing eastward.

As for saying that the Qin army gave up more than 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State, gave up the Shangdang County in hand, and then negotiated peace with Zhao State, and killed Zhao Kuo, I don't believe it.

Previously, King Zhao Xiaocheng also sent Zheng Zhu to Qin to negotiate peace, but the scheming King Qin Zhaoxiang obviously played King Zhao Xiaocheng between applause. The Battle of Changping, which cost the Qin State countless money and grain, is absolutely impossible to say that it is impossible to give up like this.

In this way, Zhao Kuo decided to adopt this strategy first, and first consume the living force of the Qin army outside the Great Wall of Baili Stone in Danzhuling. However, such a strategy must come down, and the time to test the war endurance of Zhao and Qin has come, and I don't know if the young and vigorous monarch sitting in Handan can withstand it.

Zhao Kuo shook his head and left these things behind. If nothing else, Bai Qi would definitely start tempting himself and blow up the Qin army. Such a good opportunity will be fooled not to take advantage of it, and eat two bites of meat first.

Zhao Kuo, who had thought of the strategic policy, walked down the battle viewing pavilion with a hint of ease, quietly waiting for the fat of the Qin State to be delivered to his mouth.

Sure enough, before he finished his lunch, the scout ran in with an anxious face: "General, Qin General Wang Yi led his troops to the old pass, please make a decision!" ”

Zhao Kuo put down the rice plate in his hand, snapped his fingers and said, "Quickly go and inform the generals to come to our Chinese army's big tent to discuss, go quickly!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Kuo casually pulled two mouthfuls of small rice on the plate, quickly got up and walked to the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for the arrival of the generals.

After a while, hurried footsteps rang out all around, and the generals lifted the curtain outside the tent and walked in.

Seeing that the people had arrived, Zhao Kuo opened his mouth and said: "Generals, just now the scouts came to report, saying that Wang Yi led the army to invade my hometown again, do you have a plan to meet the enemy?" ”

The generals looked at each other, their own general was like a different person since he was ill, where would he ask himself and others like this before, all of them were arbitrary. But that's good, after all, one person is short and two people are long.

With Xi Ying's experience this morning, these people have a lot less to worry about. As soon as Zhao Kuo's words fell, someone stood up and said: "General, the last general is willing to lead the army to meet the enemy and block Wang Yi from his hometown." ”

Zhao Kuo looked at the past, and it turned out to be Qian Jian who spoke. He is a tiger general brought by himself from Handan, and the art of horn resistance is invincible in Handan.

However, Zhao Kuo didn't want them to go out to meet the enemy, mainly because he was afraid that they would fall for the Qin army's trick to lure the enemy.
