Taking advantage of the slightly drunken spirit, Zhao Kuo called the guards who had been stationed outside the door in: "Go, call Wei Yuan over to me." ”

"No."

Without letting Zhao Kuo wait long, Wei Yuan panted and opened the curtain and walked in, standing in front of Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Kuo half lay on the seat, casually pointed to a seat and said: "Sit down, Jiang Sheng has rushed to Danzhuling with 50,000 cavalry from the baggage camp, you know this matter, right?" ”

Wei Yuan sat down obediently, Jiang Sheng rushed over with the cavalry, and this matter has spread throughout the entire camp, Wei Yuan naturally won't know: "General, the general already knows about this matter, I don't know what the general has to entail?" ”

"Tomorrow I will arrange for you and Jiang Sheng to have a private competition, if you win, you can naturally get the position of deputy commander of the cavalry; But if you lose, you'll have to stay in my personal guards, understand? ”

It has always been Wei Yuan's dream to be able to join the unparalleled cavalry unit of Zhao State, Zhao Kuo gave him the best chance to realize this dream at this time, Wei Yuan would be a fool if he missed it: "Please rest assured, general, I will definitely not lose to Jiang Sheng tomorrow." ”

Zhao Kuo sat up straight when he heard this, stared at Wei Yuan with his eyes tightly and said, "Wei Yuan, do you know that I insist on letting you join the cavalry camp, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"This? The subordinates are stupid, and they hope that the general will solve their doubts. ”

Zhao Kuo pointed to the hanging Changping topographic map, and said slowly: "You haven't been in Danzhuling for a day or two, let's talk about it, is the terrain on both sides of the Dan River suitable for the battle of my cavalry?" ”

Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell the truth: "General, the entire area of Changping is already the flattest terrain in Shangdang County, even so the war horses can travel on this terrain smoothly, not to mention the strong combat effectiveness of our Zhao State cavalry." ”

"Oh, you mean that cavalry is useless even if it's on the battlefield?"

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth, even if he told the truth and let Zhao Kuo blame, it was better than easily throwing the cavalry into the battlefield and annihilating the whole army: "General, please forgive your subordinates for bluntly saying that if you let the cavalry rashly join the Changping battlefield, it will be tantamount to a drop in the bucket." Our cavalry can't play their due abilities at all, and they will be easily resisted by the Qin army. ”

Zhao Kuo's fingers wandered along the map, and after a long time, he landed in a place that Wei Yuan didn't expect: "Yes, this place in Changping is indeed not suitable for the deployment of cavalry, but the battlefield I chose for you is not what you think. ”

Wei Yuan's eyes widened, the place Zhao Kuo pointed to was a place he didn't even dare to think about, and he asked blankly, "You want us to attack South Korea?" ”

50,000 cavalry attacking South Korea, this is simply a terrifying thing, isn't this just looking at the 50,000 cavalry to go and never return?

Zhao Kuo didn't care about Wei Yuan's surprised expression, pointed to Weishui, the border between Qin and Han, and said, "The place I chose for you is here!" ”

"Weishui?"

"Yes, where is it so easy to supply the baggage of 500,000 troops, I think the Qin State must be stretched thin now. I need you to gallop through the vast Weishui Valley, constantly harassing the Qin State's baggage transport team, to relieve the pressure ahead. ”

"But we only have 50,000 cavalry, and this is the chassis of the Qin State, if they send a large army to encircle and suppress us, won't they lose everything?"

Zhao Kuo pointed to South Korea, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So this time the focus is here, South Korea." I need you to pretend to be the Qin army to attack South Korea first, King Han Huan Hui has been frightened by the Qin State, so naturally he will not make a noise. ”

"I won't let you conquer the city in Korea, all you will take is the armor of the Korean soldiers. Then you have to pretend to be the army of South Korea, and keep harassing the heavy troops of Qin, until Qin suspects that South Korea has formed an alliance with our country, so that my goal can be truly achieved. ”

Wei Yuan looked at Zhao Kuo in a daze, he really couldn't imagine that his main general would come up with such a dangerous strategy, and said worriedly: "General, but we only have 50,000 cavalry, and if there is no logistics supply, it is easy to get caught in a heavy siege and cannot extricate yourself!" ”

Zhao Kuo looked at Wei Yuan speechlessly, and really wanted to knock on this uncompetitive guy, he said angrily: "Please, you guys are going to grab something, what else do you need for logistics?" If you grab what you eat, you will eat, and if you grab what you drink, you will drink what you grab and use, I don't believe that the Qin State has supplied 500,000 troops, so there is nothing for you to eat? ”

"Isn't that a robber?"

"When the Wei State besieged my Handan, the Qi generals Tian Ji and Sun Bin led the army to rescue, they did not choose to come directly to my Handan, but took advantage of the emptiness of the domestic forces of the Wei State to attack, and the Wei State had no choice but to return to the army to save him, but he was killed by the Qi army in Guiling." Zhao Kuo did not choose to answer Wei Yuan's question, but instead told the story of Wei Wei saving Zhao.

Wei Yuan was a little confused by the brain circuit of his main general, he looked at Zhao Kuo in a daze and said, "General, does this have anything to do with us now?" ”

"You, alas. The state of Qin now pursues the style of Qin Xiang Fan Ju, and attacks from afar and closely. But they have already put all 500,000 troops into the meat grinder of Changping. Presumably, they will never go to war with other countries again, and my intention in asking you to pretend to be the Han army is to give the Qin State an illusion, that is, Zhao and Han have formed an alliance, and we can cut off the way for the 500,000 troops of the Qin army to return to the division at any time, and annihilate them all in Changping! ”

"Oh, I see. The general just wants us to delay the pace of the Qin State's delivery of baggage to the front line, so that they can mess up their positions; The second is that we give them a long-range attack and let them choose to withdraw their troops with scruples. ”

Zhao Kuo walked up to Wei Yuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "So I need you to rush here, and treat yourself as a helpless bandit, who depends on plundering the things of the Qin State for food and clothing." But you have to ensure that you have these living forces in your hands, and if you want to fight, you will use the superior forces for me, and you must not easily fall into the ambush of others, have you heard it? ”

"The Admiral understands!"

Zhao Kuo closed his eyes, and after a long time, he suddenly opened them: "Wei Yuan, the reason why I insisted on letting you enter Jiang Sheng's cavalry unit is to let you show me this arrogant general. All you need to do is show what you can do and fully integrate into this unit. Once Jiang Sheng makes any transgressions, you can kill them on the spot and replace them, can you do it? ”
