Hearing Zhao Kuo's answer, Wei Chen became at a loss, according to the custom, the general had to give a routine lecture every morning, what happened today?

Thinking of this, Wei Chen said cautiously, "General, do you want me to let Doctor Qi come over?" ”

"Sun Qi? What did you call him to come over for? "Zhao Kuo is a little blindsided, this Wei Chen's brain circuit is turning too fast, making him a little unable to keep up.

"Doctor Qi once said that if the general's brain disease flared up again, it would be best for him to come and have a look. I see that the general's face is very ugly, maybe I should ask Doctor Qi to come over for a diagnosis or two. ”

"!" Zhao Kuo was even more upset when he heard this, he pointed to the door of the tent and said, "You wait outside, and I'll teach you a lesson when I'm ready!" ”

Seeing Zhao Kuo angry, Wei Chen ran out of Zhao Kuo's camp and returned to the Chinese army's tent alone. When Zhao Kuo was about to come out to teach him a lesson, he found that no one was waiting for him at all.

He casually beckoned his personal guard and asked, "Where did Wei Chen go?" ”

"General Qiyu, General Wei has gone to the big tent of the Chinese army, and I ask the general to move there."

Zhao Kuo hadn't completely woken up from last night's sleep, and he suddenly thought that there might be a battle report from the Qin army, so he came to bother him early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo patted his cheek, let his spirit cheer up a little, and took a step into the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, all the commanders and generals of the Changping Zhao army who were qualified to participate in the military meeting in the camp tent had gathered, and when they saw Zhao Kuo entering the big tent of the Chinese army, they were all sitting in danger, waiting for the instructions of Zhao Kuo, the chief general of the garrison.

Such a scene made the muscles on Zhao Kuo's face twitch involuntarily, sat on the main seat and tapped on the desk, looked at the silent generals below and said, "What are you doing, is there any emergency military situation so early in the morning?" ”

Zhao Kuo's question made the generals below even more confused, Wei Chen said cautiously: "General, isn't this the policy you set, let me wait every morning to listen to the teachings!" ”

Zhao Kuo was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that in order to better control the group of generals under Lian Po's rule, the owner of the previous body would make generous statements here every day to suppress the prestige of Lian Po's generals.

But in his opinion now, Zhao Kuo's move is simply playing the piano indiscriminately. His actions were tantamount to forcibly splitting the Zhao army into two camps, and they hated each other deeply. Even if the situation can be well controlled, the morale of the army is quite a big blow.

Looking at the people who were looking at him with blank eyes, Zhao Kuo coughed to hide his embarrassment: "This will be canceled in the future, if you have this time, go and train my soldiers well, don't pee your pants as soon as you get into a melee with the Qin army!" ”

Wei Chen didn't expect Zhao Kuo to say such a sentence, he originally planned to suppress the generals of the Lian Po family with Zhao Kuo, but he didn't expect to cancel this early morning instruction so suddenly.

The highest-ranking general of the Lian Po Department stood up, walked in front of Zhao Kuo and bowed: "General Gaoyi, but now the most important thing for us is to fight or defend, and please show the general!" ”

Zhao Kuo walked up to Xi Ying, helped him up, pressed him on the seat, and then said: "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I secretly thought that I was not capable of fighting with the Qin army, so let's first adopt the policy of defending first. Does General Xi think so? ”

Xi Ying was just about to stand up again, but was stopped by Zhao Kuo: "General Xi sat down and said, we are all for the future of Zhao Guo now, and I, Zhao Kuo, am not a person who can't listen to other people's opinions, so everyone can speak freely!" ”

When Zhao Kuo first served as the chief general of the Zhao army, he changed the policy of General Lian Po and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army and the Danshui River. This approach obviously aroused the unanimous opposition of the officers left behind by Lian Po, even if the eight generals admonished each other with death, they couldn't change Zhao Kuo's plan, so is he also testing himself and others now?

Zhao Kuo stood in front of his seat, took in Xi Ying's reaction, and said with a smile: "General Xi doesn't have to worry, this time is different from the past. You must know that what we are facing now is Wu Anjun Bai Qi, no matter how confident I am, I dare not lightly say that I can defeat the Qin army led by Bai Qi in the field battle. Therefore, General Xi has nothing to say, I promise to hear it in my heart. ”

With Zhao Kuo's assurance, Xi Ying remembered the change of the main general in front of him in the past few days, and said with a heart: "General Kuo, I am a rough person, and I speak a little straight, if I say something disrespectful, please take care of the general." ”

"Well said, well said!"

"General, we have fought several battles with the Qin army led by Wang Di, and we know very well how powerful the Qin army is in the field. If the general really fought a decisive battle with the Qin army on the bank of the Danshui River, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile on his face and no trace of annoyance.

Seeing Zhao Kuo's reaction, Xi Ying realized that what Zhao Kuo said was true, and boldly continued: "Since the general came to Changping, although he has brought nearly 200,000 reinforcements from Handan, these troops under our command are only close to the number of Qin troops. Moreover, the Qin army had completely occupied Kongcangling, and the terrain advantages on the west bank of Danshui were all in the hands of the Qin army. ”

"Even if our more than 400,000 troops cross the Danshui, it is impossible to spread all of them in terms of the topography of Kongcang Ridge at this time. At this time, if the Qin army occupies a high place, then we will be like tired eggs and precarious. Moreover, since the general came to Changping, although he thought about how to defeat the Qin army day and night, he always lacked sufficient understanding of the more than 400,000 troops under him, so the last general thought that it was better to take a defensive position at this time. ”

After listening to Xi Ying's words, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but applaud him: "That's right, Xi Ying, I have an important task to hand over to you now, okay?" ”

Xi Ying saw Zhao Kuo's performance like this, and he was completely relieved in his heart, patted his chest and said: "What does the general command, even if you say it, if Lao Xi frowns, he will be a bad seed!" ”

Zhao Kuo walked to the map hanging in the big tent and pointed his finger to the easternmost end of Danzhuling: "Xi Ying, do you know what place this is?" ”

Xi Ying glanced at the map and said without thinking: "Saddle gully!" ”

"Yes, Saddle Gully. If I were Bai Qi, on the one hand, I would lure the enemy deeper, as you said, into the encirclement of the Qin army on the west bank of the Dan River. On the other hand, I will go up from the Pushui River valley and take down the saddle gully and tear a hole in our defensive line. After thinking about it, the defense of the saddle gully is still extremely lax at this time, so I need you to lead 50,000 foot soldiers to gallop to help, no matter what happens, you must guard the saddle gully for me, can you do it? ”
