Chapter 40: Cavalry News
On the second day, Zhao Kuo personally bid farewell to Mao Sui, who was about to set off, looking at Mao Sui's figure getting farther and farther away, Zhao Kuo did not dare to conclude whether he could complete his scheduled goal on this trip.
However, a person like Mao Sui who is suitable for completing this task really can't be found in Zhao Guo, and Zhao Kuo can only pin all his hopes on Mao Sui.
After bidding farewell to Mao Sui, Zhao Kuo once again returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and the unusual quietness of the Qin army in the past two days made him very uneasy, and he wanted to find out how the other party planned it.
Originally, he planned to plan to enter Hyunji in the next two days, but later he rejected the idea again.
The valley composed of Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain is really unfavorable, not to mention more than 300,000 troops, even more than 100,000 troops cannot be fully developed here.
Once he was stationed in Hyun to confront the Qin army in Danshui, he had to divide his troops to garrison Hanwang Mountain and Daliangshan, which would inevitably cause the emptiness of Hyun's defense.
It is also unknown whether this kind of empty defense can stop the full-scale Qin army attack, and there is a way that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and entering the Hyun style is simply a mortal move.
Zhao Kuo stepped out of the big tent of the Chinese army, walked onto the towering viewing pavilion, and looked at the bustling crowd of the Danzhuling camp, sure enough, the place chosen by Lian Po was the best place for the Zhao army to stick to.
As long as he could ensure that Changping Pass and Ma'an Gully were always in his own hands, it would be impossible for the Qin army to capture the Danzhuling defense line in this narrow area.
Once his words on this chess game begin to play a role, he will wait for the best time to fight the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo stood on the viewing pavilion and looked at the Qin army camp opposite, but Teng hurriedly ran up: "General, the messenger of the cavalry commander Jiang is back and is waiting in the Chinese army camp. ”
"Okay, there's finally news, let's go back quickly." As soon as Zhao Kuo heard that it was Jiang Sheng's messenger, his heart was full of joy.
The cavalry troops under the command of Jiang Sheng and Wei Yuan were placed by themselves in the border area between Qin and Han, which was an open place of plains, and was the most suitable for the cavalry of the Zhao State to fight here.
Moreover, this area is also the only way for the Qin State to send grain and grass to Changping, as long as Jiang Sheng can successfully stop here and constantly affect the grain and grass delivery of the Qin State, then the combat effectiveness of the more than 500,000 Qin State troops will definitely be reduced.
Zhao Kuo couldn't wait when he thought of this, he walked quickly back to the big tent of the Chinese army, where the messenger sent by Jiang Sheng was waiting.
Seeing Zhao Kuo walk into the big tent, the messenger saluted respectfully: "General, Commander Jiang sent me to deliver a letter for the general, this is a letter written by Commander Jiang himself." ”
Zhao Kuo took the bamboo slip from the messenger's hand, and immediately unfolded it on the desk and looked at it. Fortunately, it is the fusion of the souls of the two worlds, otherwise he would never be able to understand Zhao Guo's text if he was used to the simplified Chinese characters of later generations.
Jiang Sheng preliminarily reached the preliminary plan he had formulated, and successfully disguised himself as a Qin cavalry to attack the garrison on the Korean border.
The group once again disguised themselves as South Korean troops, and began to gallop on the vast plains of the border between Qin and South Korea.
Up to now, they had attacked the Qin State grain transport team several times, not only to get their own food and clothing, but also to easily deal with the Qin State cavalry that was pursuing them.
The attrition of the cavalry troops is also acceptable, and it is expected that they will be able to hold out here for a maximum of two months.
After reading it, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but pat the case, it was really good: "Jiang Sheng did a good job, it deserves to be our world-famous cavalry formation, it's really fucking cool!" ”
The purpose of the messenger was to send the letter to Zhao Kuo, and when he saw that Zhao Kuo had finished reading it, he was directly ready to leave: "General, does Commander Jiang still need any words from his subordinates?" ”
Zhao Kuo rolled up the bamboo slips on the desk, stared at the messenger with his eyes and said, "Tell Jiang Sheng that the general will not be subject to foreign military orders, and let him do as much as he wants." The looted grain and grass were only loaded to meet the needs of the troops, and the rest was burned for me. I don't care what method he uses, I must make sure that the grain and grass of the Qin State cannot be transported to Changping smoothly! ”
"No, then the subordinate will go back to Commander Jiang and bring a message for the general."
"Wait." Zhao Kuo stopped the messenger who was about to turn around and leave, took out a new bamboo slip from the desk and said, "I'll write a letter, you can bring it to Jiang Sheng for me." ”
Zhao Guo's characters are really fucking difficult to write, and they are written on thin bamboo slips, which makes Zhao Kuo, who is used to simplified Chinese characters and paper in later generations, very unhappy.
After a stick of incense, Zhao Kuo finally finished writing a letter and handed it to the waiting messenger: "Quickly bring this letter to Jiang Sheng, go." ”
After the messenger left, Zhao Kuo waved away Fuji Ke, and thought alone in the big tent of the Chinese army.
The chess game has been played until now, and his own fall has gradually begun to play a role, and now it depends on whether Pingyuan Jun can say that Zhao Xiaocheng is king.
If the envoys of Zhao State set off for Wei and Chu at this time, after all, the government and the opposition of Qin State would be shaken, and then it would not be King Zhao Xiaocheng urging him to fight a decisive battle, but King Qin Zhaoxiang urging Bai Qi to fight a decisive battle.
Wanting to break through the defense line of Zhao Jundanzhuling in such a narrow valley is tantamount to a pipe dream.
Even if the opponent is the unparalleled Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo is confident that he can defend Danzhu Ridge and turn it into a meat grinder for the Qin army.
Once Bai Qi can't attack Danzhu Ridge, it must be time for Fan Ju to appear on the stage.
As long as Mao Sui can successfully move Fan Ju, it is impossible to say that Qin Guo will also make a move to change generals in battle.
Even if King Qin Zhaoxiang absolutely trusted Bai Qi, Fan Ju would secretly restrain Bai Qi. You must know that once the Shangdang County is defeated, Bai Qi's prestige will definitely reach its peak in the Qin State, how can Fan Ju, who has always had a grudge against Bai Qi, sit back and watch such a thing happen?
If his plan can go smoothly, then the cavalry he sent to the border between Qin and Han is not just as simple as plundering grain and grass, he will also be of greater use.
Just when Zhao Kuo was thinking about the Chinese army's big tent with a little pride, the herald scout hurriedly ran in: "General, it's not good, the Qin army is attacking my old pass again!" ”
Zhao Kuo put the brush in his hand on the desk, and he was relieved to hear the news of Qin's attack. The Qin people's unusually calm in the past two days made him very uneasy, especially the main general on the other side was Bai Qi, who knew what tricks Bai Qi was doing.
With this attack, it means that the Qin State has been calm in the past two days, but it has not yet recovered from the defeat at Changping Pass. The attack was launched at this time, and it was probably not a tentative attack.
"Which general is on duty today?"
"General Hui, it's the commander of Lu Fang."
"Go, inform Zheng Ze and Lu Fang to cooperate with the pass to garrison the pass. Then let the rest of the generals come to the big tent of the Chinese army. ”
"No!"
