When everyone heard Fang Xiu's words, they all fell silent. Only Lu Fang was not interested in these at all, he pinched the muscles on his arm and said excitedly: "General, since the Qin people have left us such a large piece of open space, what are we waiting for the king's order, let's immediately occupy all the banks of the Dan River, and kill not a single piece of Qin State!" ”

"Hmph, reckless." Zheng Ze, who was on the side, listened to Lu Fang's emotional words and snorted coldly with disdain.

"Zheng Ze, what do you mean, there is a kind of one-on-one fight with me!" Where could Lu Fang stand this kind of stimulation, he waved his fist and was ready to rush forward.

"I'm afraid you won't make it." Zheng Ze is not a vegetarian either, and he is immediately ready to fight.

"Enough!" Zhao Kuo slapped the case table fiercely, pointed at the noses of the two and scolded, "You are still the general who leads one side, and you want to fight in the big tent of the Chinese army, where is the business order?" ”

"The subordinates are here."

"Drag these two out for me, whip twenty, and go."

"No!"

Seeing that Zheng Ze and Lu Fang were dragged out of the tent by Shang Ling, and Zhao Kuo's anger on the main seat was not extinguished, the rest of the people were all silent and did not dare to speak again.

After a long time, Wei Chen, who was still Zhao Kuo's henchman, coughed and said, "General, since the Qin people have let go of a large area of the hinterland, I think Lu Fang's words are not unreasonable. ”

"Is your brain in water, how can you be as stupid as Lu Fang!" Zhao Kuo's anger had not yet gone down, and at this time, when he heard that Wei Chen was still advocating going west out of his hometown, he scolded directly.

Zhao Kuo's scolding made Wei Chen not embarrassed, he had always been trusted by Zhao Kuo, but he didn't expect to be scolded by the main general in front of the public.

Zhao Kuo finally calmed down his anger and said calmly: "Wei Chen, since you advocate crossing the Dan River to the west, have you considered the balance of forces between the enemy and us?" ”

Zhao Kuo's question made Wei Chen speechless, he really hadn't thought about it; "This ......"

Zhao Kuo interrupted Wei Chen's words with a wave of his hand, and all the generals below him said, "The Qin State has gathered an army of nearly 600,000 here, even if we annihilate their 80,000 troops, they still have more than 500,000 horses in their hands now. ”

"And what about us? We divided our troops to garrison Changping Pass and Ma'an Gully, even if we add the soldiers who were in the baggage camp at this time, it would be less than 300,000, you look at the terrain here. ”

After speaking, Zhao Kuo walked to the side of the map and pointed his finger at Han Wang Mountain and Da Liang Mountain: "The east bank of Danshui to our Danzhuling defense line is caught by Han Wang Mountain and Da Liang Mountain, once we cross Danshui to the west, we are bound to garrison troops here to prevent the enemy from rushing down from the heights in one fell swoop." ”

"Once we divide our forces again, will the main force in our hands be able to compete with the more than 500,000 Qin troops here in Light Wolf City? Can any of you answer me that question? ”

Everyone looked at the map, and they all fell into deep thought, and they didn't dare to answer Zhao Kuo's question at all.

"Taking a step back, even if we don't divide the army into Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, we need to build a barrier here to cross the Dan River to the west, do you think Bai Qi will give us time to prepare? Take a step back, even if Bai Qi has no brains and does not take the opportunity to attack. Now that the cavalry has been sent out by me, do you think we, the foot soldiers and chariot soldiers, can resist the combined attack of the Qin State infantry and cavalry? ”

Wei Chen saw that Zhao Kuo's eyes that hated iron and steel fell on him, and he lowered his head in shame.

Originally, he definitely needed to take these things into consideration, but it happened too suddenly. He was deceived by this bait that he thought was a peerless opportunity, and he only wanted to occupy the west bank of Danshui.

"But general, you also said just now, if the king of Handan knows the situation on the front line, he will definitely urge us to cross the Dan River west and fight a decisive battle with the Qin soldiers, what should we do at that time?"

Fang Xiu's consideration was not purely from the perspective of war, he was afraid that Zhao Kuo would be the same as Lian Po at the beginning. Although he withstood the pressure from King Zhao Xiaocheng, he couldn't escape the ending of changing generals.

The problem of house repair is also a very difficult problem that Zhao Kuo has to face.

Ever since he knew Bai Qi's plans, he had been thinking about how to deal with the pressure from Handan.

He was very aware of King Zhao Xiaocheng's idea of fighting a decisive battle with the Qin army as soon as possible, and King Zhao Xiaocheng's eager gaze before leaving was enough to explain everything.

Bai Qi is really scheming, he put everything in front of him clearly, so that he has no way to deal with it at all, is there only one way to go west?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo shook his head and drove this stupid pig-like idea out of his mind. This is the most critical step in this war, and if you make a mistake, it will be a doom.

For the sake of the more than 400,000 Zhao Guoerlang under his command, and for the foundation of Zhao Guo, which has been quietly shaken, this step cannot be taken by himself no matter what.

At this time, he finally made up his mind and stood in front of everyone: "All the generals listened to the order, and everyone remained motionless and waited for the changes. Without my order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier or soldier, and those who violate the order are beheaded, do you hear clearly? ”

"General, ...... over there in Handan"

Seeing that Fang Xiu was still about to persuade himself, he decisively chose to interrupt him: "I have made up my mind, even if the king is to blame, I will bear it alone, everyone has nothing to say, go down, Wei Chen stays." ”

Fang Xiu sighed and said no more, and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent with everyone, only Wei Chen sat on his seat with his head drooped.

Looking at Wei Chen's current unpromising appearance, Zhao Kuo was angry and didn't fight: "Wei Chen, you can't see such a simple truth now?" ”

"General, it's all the last general's inconsiderate consideration, and I hope the general will punish him." Wei Chen walked to the passage and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Kuo to ask for punishment.

Zhao Kuo sighed, and looked at the hanging map with his eyes: "For the general, you must first be calm, the enemy will not make the move you hope for no reason, and the sky will not take the initiative to drop the pie." The first thing you need to do is to think calmly about the enemy's actions, and to know yourself and your opponent. Alas, get up. ”

"General Xie's teachings." Wei Chen was relieved to see that Zhao Kuo did not punish him, and stood up from the ground.

"There is nothing else to do if you are left behind, you go to see Lu Fang and Zheng Ze on my behalf. Although the two of them were also confused for a while, things in the army have never been child's play, and this time they were punished because they did too much, so go ahead. ”

"The general is benevolent and righteous, and the last general must bring the general's words to him, so that the two of them can understand the general's hard work." Wei Chen saluted and slowly withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.
