Zhao Kuo sighed, he imagined the hardship of the road, but he didn't expect that the situation he saw with his own eyes was even more serious than he imagined, the road was winding, and the grass was under his feet

Meng Fu gasped and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a break, we have lost more than a dozen horses, and the generals are tired......

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said, "If you hold on for a while, if you stop and rest now, we will only be able to camp in such a place after dark, and it is not safe, and we will have to fall off the cliff as soon as we fall asleep."

At sunset, Zhao Kuo and others finally rushed to a relatively spacious open space to camp and rest, where traces of artificial carving can be seen, and even the exposed rocks are temporary

"Boom ......" Zhao Kuo and the others had just set up their tents, and there were bursts of thunder in the sky, and a general whispered: "Thunder in October, thieves everywhere, this is not a good sign."

It didn't take long for the raindrops the size of beans to fall from the sky, accompanied by a strong mountain wind, the trees in front of and behind the mountain shook, the trees were gusting, and the corner stakes used by Zhao Kuo to camp were almost pulled up by the wind

Meng Fu had a soft spot for this heavy rain, and said with a smile: "I'm still worried that your trip will be smooth sailing, this rain is good, this is the rain of washing soldiers, it is a good omen."

Legend has it that when King Wu was warning, he encountered a heavy rainstorm, causing the water on the flat ground to rise three feet, and the minister San Yisheng thought that this was not a good omen, but an early warning from God, but King Wu said that this was the day to wash the soldiers, it was to wash away the dust of soldiers and weapons and armor, and it was a sign of victory

"I hope so" Zhao Kuo didn't believe in such rumors, but the difficulties caused to him by the wind and rain were real, the rain on the mountain, followed by the flash flood, and the road ahead was unbearable to walk

Zhao Kuo asked Meng Fu to brighten the lights in the tent a little more, took out Zhao Zhen's transcription of Pang Juan's Art of War and studied it carefully

Meng Fu took out dry food, this is a kind of dry food similar to compressed food, although it is not easy to mildew, but it is hard like a stone, Meng Fu boiled the water and threw the dry food in, and threw in a few pieces of jerky, and after a while, he made a pot of food that looked like porridge and non-porridge, and handed it to Zhao Kuo in a clay bowl and said: "Your Majesty, eat some hot food to get rid of the cold"

Zhao Kuo took the pottery bowl and drank the steaming food, but his eyes were still staring at Pang Juan's soldiers, and he had the artistic conception of forgetting to sleep and eat

"Meng Fu, you are also a person who is familiar with soldiers, tell me why Pang Juan is not Sun Bin's opponent? I remember that when Sun Bin didn't go out of the mountain, Pang Juan was invincible, and he didn't taste defeat for the Wei people," Zhao Kuo asked

Meng Biao saw that the soldier in Zhao Kuo's hand was Pang Juan's art of war strategy, he touched it in his arms, took out "Qi Sun Tzu", that is, the soldier written by Sun Bin, and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Bin and Pang Juan are both temporary stars, Pang Juan was defeated by Sun Bin twice, it can only be said that his luck is too bad, just take Sun Bin's plan to reduce the stove Pang Juan will not be unable to see it, but has to chase down, because although the King of Wei trusted Pang Juan very much at that time, but other powerful people in Wei did not value Pang Juan so much, and always gave Pang Juan a hindrance, At that time, Pang Juan's grain and grass were only enough for a month, and he knew that Sun Bin was waiting for him, so he had to jump into the trap, because the Wei soldiers were strong, and there might be hope of victory in a fight, and if he withdrew his troops and returned to China, Pang Juan would have no hope."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "There are always some people, who can't do foreign wars, but also experts in civil wars, I used to look down on Pang Juan, and felt that he was the stepping stone for Sun Bin to become famous, and I didn't know until I read Pang Juan's soldiers that this general of Wei was not simple."

Meng Wei smiled and said: "Your Excellency, when I was in the Qin Kingdom, I saw Bai Qi's side, and I heard from others that Bai Qi's favorite is Sun Bin's art of war, and he has studied it very thoroughly, but what Jun Shang is holding in his hand is Pang Juan's soldiers, this is not a good comparison."

Zhao Kuo also smiled and said: "As the saying goes, a soldier bear, a bear, a bear, a nest of bears, if this teacher can't do it, it's three thousand disciples who are mistaken, and my next-generation teacher Pang Juan in the art of war is also a misguided disciple in the eyes of outsiders, don't spread this news."

Meng Wei shook his head and said: "Your Excellency's words are wrong, I think that in the Battle of Changping, maybe you can beat Bai Qi with Pang Juan's method."

"Qi Sun Tzu said that the attacking side should have sufficient troops, and the defending side can have slightly less troops, the attacker is a multiple of the defender, and the defender is half of the attacker, so the balance of forces is also balanced, that is to say, even if our troops are at an absolute disadvantage in Changping, our army can be the enemy, and victory is also possible" Meng Yu continued: "This is the case, so even if it is played in Changping in vain, the Qin army does not have much advantage, or no advantage"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Even so, this person can be in harmony with his soldiers, and he is good at destroying the enemy in the field, although the fortress of Changping is strong, it cannot be compared with the high and thick city wall, this situation and terrain cannot be turned into favorable to our army, and it is enough to hold on."

Meng Fu said: "The Battle of Changping is fought at this time, the victory or defeat depends on the investment of the two countries, it depends on who can't hold it first, and the side that can't hold it will inevitably make mistakes, and that is the time of the decisive battle."

"The Qin State is united and united, but I, the Zhao State, are loyal and traitorous side by side, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on to it first, is the path of Zhao Jun the path that my teacher Pang Juan once walked?" Zhao Kuo sighed

Meng Wei shook his head and said: "Not really, Qin has a lot of problems in itself, Meng Wei dares to assert that if the Qin army is defeated in the Battle of Changping, the strength of Qin will collapse, and I dare not say that I will break through Hangu Pass, but it will also make Qin State lose its vitality and be unable to advance eastward for a hundred years."

"Don't talk about this, I told you when I came out, although I am now the commander of Changping, but this is only in name, and the specific military affairs are still in charge of Lian Po, Lian Po, will not let me down" Zhao Kuo said

As Zhao Kuo expected, although it was sunny the next day, the flash flood that exploded after the rain flooded the mountain road that was not considered a road, and the two mountains became a temporary river, and the turbid water was mixed with rotten trees and dead leaves

"It is impossible for manpower to continue to rest against the forces of nature" Zhao Kuo really wanted to thank this mountain rain, as long as he arrived in Changping one day late, Zhao Ren would hold on for one more day

Zhao Kuo opened the bamboo tube he was carrying, and there were only two things inside, one was the tiger talisman given to him by Zhao Dan, and the other was the mascot that was originally put on Zhao Qi's neck, which was taken off from her son's neck after Lisina learned that he was going to go on an expedition, and Lisina said that it could bring him good luck

Zhao Kuo put the tiger talisman aside, picked up the mascot compiled by Lisna and looked at it, and said that heroes are short of breath and children are long, only by really putting themselves in their shoes can they truly understand the meaning of this sentence

Zhao Kuo suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and saw a general running in with an ugly face, and said, "Your Majesty, there are people on both sides of the mountain who are plotting against you."

Zhao Kuo took a look at the account, Meng Fu had already led people to wait for him, and on the mountain road not far away, there were dozens of people climbing this way, and under their feet was the torrent with turbulent water, which looked extremely dangerous.

Zhao Kuo's eyes saw clearly, those people were carrying grain bags on their backs, and the clothes on their bodies were ragged, and said: "It should be the people who returned from the Changping front, they are homesick, and they can't wait for the torrent to subside......

"No, the bags they are carrying behind them are full, and they definitely won't be the people of Zhao State" Meng Fu saw the flaw, and immediately asked people to take out bows and arrows and aim at those people

"Huh......" When those people climbed to the high place above Zhao Kuo and the others, they threw down the bags on their backs, the bags were very thick, and there was a thudding sound on the ground

A general rushed over to open the bag and took a look, and shouted: "It's a flammable thing, these grandsons want to burn us here" As soon as the words fell, a rocket flew over and shot at the bag, and the flames suddenly burst up, burning off a lot of eyebrows

"It's really lifeless, play this with me, although I don't know how to play with fire, but it's not once or twice that I've been burned by fire, take my longbow" Zhao Kuo was annoyed, took the longbow and said: "You wet your clothes to cover your mouth and nose, and watch me hunt"

"Whoosh ......" Zhao Kuo stretched his bow and set up arrows, and each arrow would shoot down a "people's husband", and some people were even directly nailed to the spot by the bow and arrow

"Your Majesty, this is not a place to stay for a long time, these flames and smoke seem to be just a signal, the enemy must have a follow-up move" Meng Yu realized that those people did not flee, it seemed that their mission had been completed

Zhao Kuo felt that what Meng Fu said made sense, put away his bow and arrows and said: "They may want us to arrive in Changping as soon as possible, in the eyes of some people, Changping is the burial place of my Zhao Kuo."

The first person Zhao Kuo wanted to suspect was Tian Wei, that woman was afraid that she didn't want to let him die all the time, and even such a clumsy chasing and killing technique was brought up, and it was ridiculous that there were so many arrogant people in the country Text Chapter 375 [Difficult to Walk]
