Chapter 43: Yang Mou

Zhao Kuo jumped up from the bed with a scream, and kept panting. When he saw the morning sun pouring into the tent, he was finally relieved.

This dream last night was so real that it made him feel that death had befallen him.

Zhao Kuo subconsciously touched his neck, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no wound.

"General, general, it's not good."

At this time, the herald scout ran to Zhao Kuo's tent like a dream, as if last night's dream was repeated.

Without saying a word, Zhao Kuo smashed the sword placed next to the wooden pillow on the scout's body: "Get out!" ”

The herald scout was directly smashed by Zhao Kuo like this, he looked at Zhao Kuo on the bed blankly, but he didn't make any movement.

Zhao Kuo pinched his forehead and said a little nervously: "The king of Handan is here?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Kuo clenched his fists, looking at the stupid scout in front of him, he really wanted to smash him to death with a punch: "I'm asking you that the king of Handan has come to the front line?" ”

"Report to the general, no!"

Zhao Kuo let out a nervous smile and tried to calm his emotions.

After a while, Zhao Kuo finally stabilized, looked at the scout and asked, "Then you came to me early in the morning, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Only then did the herald scout come back to his senses from the situation just now, lowered his head and said, "General Qiyu, the Qin army retreated from the west bank of the Dan River and withdrew in the direction of Light Wolf City. All the generals have gathered in the Chinese army tent and are waiting for your instructions. ”

"What?" Zhao Kuo didn't realize that he was disheveled now, and suddenly stood up on the bed, "What did you say?" You repeat! ”

"General, the Qin army retreated from the west bank of the Dan River and retreated in the direction of Light Wolf City."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. You go out first, I see. Zhao Kuo drove the scout out out and hurriedly put on his armor.

Out of his camp tent, Zhao Kuo did not go to the big tent of the Chinese army, but went to the viewing pavilion alone.

Standing on the viewing pavilion and overlooking the west bank of the Dan River, sure enough, the camp tents of the Qin army scattered yesterday had all disappeared at this time, and it seemed that the Qin army had indeed withdrawn in the direction of Light Wolf City as the scout said.

Zhao Kuo couldn't figure out what tricks the Qin army was doing now, he frowned and returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he sat down, he said: "Everyone has obviously got the news, what do you think of the sudden retreat of the Qin army?" ”

Just as Wei Chen was about to speak, a scout walked in and said to everyone, "General Qiyu, the Qin army has retreated to camp around the Light Wolf City. ”

Zhao Kuo waved his hand, signaling that he knew: "Okay, I know, go down." ”

When the scout walked out of the tent of the Chinese army, Wei Chen spoke: "General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Didn't you keep saying that the long and narrow terrain outside the old pass is not conducive to the development of our army, we can take advantage of the gap between the retreat of the Qin army and push the defensive line to the west bank of the Dan River, so that our army can open a formation and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army. ”

"General Wei's words are wrong." As soon as Wei Chen's words fell, Fang Xiu opened his mouth to retort, "If the Qin army sticks to the Light Wolf City, it will be even more difficult for our army to defeat the Qin army under the easy change of attack and defense. In my opinion, we should continue to garrison Danzhuling and wait and see what happens. ”

Since Zhao Kuo took charge of the army, he has defeated the troops of the Qin State one after another. At this time, Fang Xiu actually adhered to Lian Po's set, which made Lu Fang look down on him quite a bit: "Is General Fang frightened by the Qin people, the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, if you don't seize it at this time, it will not be so easy to do it again." “

"Presumptuous, how can General Fang be such a person in your mouth, he is just worried that the Qin people are playing some tricks, out of caution." Zheng Ze immediately began to defend Fang Xiu, which made it misunderstood, and Fang Xiu's future was completely over.

Zhao Kuo listened to the gossip discussions of his subordinates, and his thoughts were completely out of this.

Everyone looked at Zhao Kuo, who was sitting silently on the seat, the heated discussion slowly stopped, and the tent returned to silence again.

"General, general?"

Zhao Kuo, who was intoxicated with his own thoughts, seemed to hear the call of others, and slowly recovered from his thoughts: "What do you say Bai Qi wants?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one answered Zhao Kuo's question. If they could guess Bai Qi's thoughts, they would have been the generals of the leading side a long time ago, so why bother with the current situation.

Zhao Kuo stood up from his seat and slowly walked to the map. Looking at the scout's topographical map of Changping, he was once again lost in thought.

The real dream of last night once again crossed his mind, and this time it seemed to light up the corners of his mind like a bolt of lightning.

"I see!"

Zhao Kuo finally figured out what trick Bai Qi was playing with yesterday's fierce attack and today's sudden retreat, and almost jumped up excitedly.

Wei Chen watched Zhao Kuo sit back on his seat, with an unfathomable expression on his face, and couldn't wait to ask, "What did the general understand?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to talk about this, think about it, since we were stationed in Danzhuling, how many troops have the Qin people been annihilated in total?" Zhao Kuo didn't answer Wei Chen's question, but instead talked about something else.

"Tens of thousands of Qin people have been annihilated in total, what does the general mean by this?" Wei Chen replied without thinking, these data have always been counted by him.

Zhao Kuo smiled and began his own analysis: "Since Bai Qi became the chief general of the Qin army, he has always wanted to lure our army to abandon the Danzhuling defense line and fight him on both sides of the Danshui River. In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to let Wang Yi's army lead the army to defeat our army all the time, just to annihilate our army stationed in Changping in one fell swoop. ”

"The general's consciousness is that until now, Bai Qi has not given up the purpose of luring our army west?"

"That's right, of course he didn't give up, but this time he used more ruthless means." Even if Zhao Kuo has figured out Bai Qi's methods, he still feels that it is very tricky.

"Oh, general, don't sell the guanzi, tell us quickly." Lu Fang didn't have such a good patience, and seeing that Zhao Kuo never got to the point, he asked anxiously.

Zhao Kuo smiled lightly, and did not blame Lu Fang: "Generals, since we were stationed in Danzhuling, we have annihilated tens of thousands of Qin's soldiers, and at this time, the Qin army suddenly retreated, completely abandoning the barrier on the west bank of the Dan River. ”

"Changping is only a few hundred miles away from Handan, and any wind and grass on the front line can't hide from the king's eyes. If the king learns of the Qin people's current actions, what kind of decision do you guess the king should make? ”

"Take the opportunity to attack and fight the Qin people on the west bank of the Dan River!" Fang Xiu closed his eyes and answered Zhao Kuo's question directly.
