Chapter 72: Huge Appetite

Zhao Kuo took Zhao's army and stationed it in Yewang City, and after yesterday's celebration, Zhao Kuo called Jiang Sheng to his room early in the morning.

Jiang Shenghu stood in front of Zhao Kuo with a dragon plate, he had recovered from yesterday's celebration and continued to maintain the spirit of a general.

Zhao Kuo was very satisfied when he looked at Jiang Sheng with such a spirit, originally he thought that Wei Yuan could replace Jiang Sheng, but now Jiang Sheng's performance has completely reversed his idea.

Looking at Jiang Sheng, who was full of energy, Zhao Kuo hammered his shoulder and said, "Yes, I can recover from yesterday's emotions so quickly, and I am worthy of being the commander of my cavalry." ”

Jiang Sheng clenched his fists and said: "For the general, it should naturally be like this, and besides, yesterday the general said that the war is far from over, and the last general will naturally prepare early." ”

"Okay, that's what you want, come with me."

Zhao Kuo took Jiang Sheng to the side of his desk and unfolded the leather map: "Although I know that your cavalry fought very well in this battle, there are some things that really need to rely on you again. ”

"It's a blessing for the general to be able to use us. If the general doesn't need our cavalry from beginning to end, then we might as well kill ourselves! Jiang Sheng's expression was calm, and he said without the slightest hesitation.

Zhao Kuo pointed his finger at Hedong County of Qin State, looked at Jiang Sheng and said: "I expect that the news that the Qin army was completely annihilated by our army in Changping has not yet reached Xianyang's ears at this time, presumably Hedong County is still in the stage of supporting Changping grain and grass at this time." ”

As soon as Zhao Kuo said a little, Jiang Sheng reacted quickly: "Does the general mean to let us enter Hedong again and plunder the grain and grass of the Qin people?" ”

"Yes, I just want to play this time difference, but the location is not in Hedong County, but here."

Zhao Kuo's finger stopped at the place of Fencheng, and he chose to let Jiang Sheng do it here.

Jiang Sheng was a little puzzled, and his brows furrowed slightly: "General, with all due respect, although this is the only way for the Qin State to transport grain, after all, I have been harassing here for a long time, and I am afraid of arousing the vigilance of the people of the Qin State by acting here." ”

Zhao Kuo was not annoyed by Jiang Sheng's rebuttal, he looked at Jiang Sheng and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Jiang Sheng pointed to the place of Wu Sui and said calmly: "General, the last general thinks that this is the best place for the general's plan to be implemented. ”

Zhao Kuo couldn't help frowning, he naturally knew that Wusui was the best place to implement the plan.

But with their current situation, they don't know if they can take down Wu Sui smoothly.

"Jiang Sheng, you must know that this place has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, when the Qin State defeated South Korea, the king of Han Qi gave Wu Sui 200 miles to Qin to succeed in seeking peace. Since then, this place has been heavily guarded by the Qin people, can we take Wusui City in a short period of time? ”

Faced with Zhao Kuo's question, Jiang Sheng didn't know how to answer. In fact, he just chose the best location, but as Zhao Kuo said, it is indeed a question whether it can be successfully won here.

However, he still did not give up the idea of convincing the commander-in-chief: "General, this place can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and it is indeed a naturally advantageous place. As long as we can take this place as a support, our cavalry will be enough to help the general be invincible in the east of the river! ”

Zhao Kuo didn't answer Jiang Sheng's question immediately, he was thinking about Jiang Sheng's proposal.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Kuo still gave up this tempting idea: "Jiang Sheng, at this time, the grain and grass in Handan have not yet arrived, and the capture of Wusui is a move in the fire. Now, although we have the advantage of the situation, we cannot afford to take such a risky move. ”

As the so-called time is not the same as in the past, in the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army was at an absolute disadvantage, and it was necessary to take risks to find that glimmer of life in that difficult situation.

However, at this time, the advantage is already in their own hands, and if they choose this kind of tactics of dancing on the tightrope, once they encounter setbacks, they will be in a situation from which they will never recover.

The more times like this come, the more important it is to focus on stability. He must not let the advantages that the soldiers have worked so hard to build go to waste, and he must slowly figure it out.

"Jiang Sheng, Changping's victory was exchanged for the lives of all the soldiers of our Zhao army, and you need to consider the overall situation now. If you follow your idea, if you make a mistake, it will ruin the results of our army's hard work, and this is something I absolutely cannot tolerate! ”

Jiang Sheng opened his mouth to speak, but he finally chose to keep his mouth shut. He also felt that he was a little inconsiderate in this matter, and decided to believe Zhao Kuo's judgment.

Zhao Kuo closed his eyes and began to instruct Jiang Sheng: "Jiang Sheng, with the wild king as your support, your cavalry can crisscross at will anywhere in Hanoi. ”

"One of your current goals is to find out the situation in Hanoi for me to prepare for the follow-up attack; Second, cruising in the four points of Pingyang, Fencheng, Pilao, and Duanshi, as long as you find that the Qin State has entered Hanoi, you will immediately give me a nest to take it off, do you understand? ”

"No, the last general obeys the order, I am willing to lead the cavalry to solve the general's worries and complete the general's predetermined strategy!"

Zhao Kuo patted Jiang Sheng's shoulder, and said with some guilt: "Originally, I was supposed to let you rest and recuperate in Yewang, but the current situation can't help us to slowly repair." The more critical it is, the more you have to grit your teeth and persevere, it's hard for you! ”

"General, don't say that, Jiang Shengtian is the cavalry commander of my Zhao State, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and die for the Zhao State!" Jiang Sheng beat his chest with his hands and said with an oath.

"Okay, after the success, I will personally report to the king, and I will definitely not treat you badly!"

"The last will be retired, so let's go and prepare."

Seeing Jiang Sheng leave his room, Zhao Kuo plunged into the map again. Although they are now stationed in Yuye Wang waiting for Handan's grain and grass, Zhao Kuo must plan the overall situation during this waiting time, at least to take Hanoi of Qin.

For Zhao Kuo, this battle of Changping is far from over, and what he is doing at this time is just a continuation of the battle of Changping.

Almost all the generals who achieved such results in the Battle of Changping would not give up. They will inevitably choose to continue to march towards the enemy country, knowing that expanding the territory is the biggest thing in this era.

Zhao Kuo looked at the banks of the Yellow River on the map, Hanoi of a Qin State could not satisfy Zhao Kuo's appetite now, Hanoi, Hedong and even Hanguguan were the places he wanted most now.

The Qin State can stick to the Hangu Pass, and such a moat-like existence has no chance of breaking through for the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.

Therefore, they can move eastward at will and attack the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Wei.

As long as Hangu Pass is taken, there will be the strongest defensive line between Zhao and Qin. If this eternal Xiongguan can always be in the hands of the Zhao people, then it will really become a luxury for the Qin people to want to go east!
