Chapter 129: Courage Test
Ji Zhi saw that Le Chi was sneering there, knowing that he had already understood the movements of the Qi army at this moment, and the next question was how to deal with it.
"What does the old general think our army should do to arrange the battle?"
The orchestra pit took a few steps in the tent, looking at the map and thinking about it for a while. In the camp, Ji Zhi and Su Dai can only be anxious, this is not their strength, and they can't help if they want to help. The city was originally not in favor of this matter, but now that Ji Zhi felt that he had taken Jidu first, he had to put aside his prejudices first and prepare to help the orchestra pit, but he hoped that it was the orchestra pool that begged him before he came forward, otherwise, he would definitely not be the first to open his mouth, he sat there for a long time, watching the orchestra pool ponder.
"In that case." He turned around and walked to the map, and said to everyone: "We will plan as planned, divide the cavalry into two, all the way to the south side to plan the coalition army to attack Zhuoxian, all the way deep into the military capital, from there to attack the back of the thistle capital, and go south to besiege the city!" ”
"Wouldn't that be too risky?" Su Dai couldn't help but say, "Since the other party in the north has a strategy, it naturally has a way to deal with it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to break through for a while." Correspondingly, the troops attacking Zhuoxian on the south road will inevitably decrease, while the Qi army will increase, and the other party will occupy a numerical advantage and crush me. As he spoke, he swallowed, obviously frightened, even a little scared. The general must not take this risk! ”
As soon as the orchestra pit wanted to speak, he heard the city be said: "If you don't divide the army, I'm afraid the result will be even worse." As he spoke, he walked up to Ji Zhi, glanced at the music pool, and said to himself: "The Qi army did not place heavy troops in Jundu Mountain, and the purpose was naturally to hope that our army could storm Jundu Mountain. And from the military capital mountain to the thistle capital, the mountains are stacked, as long as there are more roadblocks on the road, you can block the advance of our army. Even if the attack reaches Jidu, with the strength of the Qi army in Jidu, it is impossible for the troops starting from Jundu Mountain to capture it, but it will attract other Qi troops to come back to surround this lone army. ”
"On the other hand, if the army is divided into Dushan, there will be a lot fewer troops attacking Zhuoxian, and the Qi army will first eliminate the troops attacking Zhuoxian with the advantage of troops, and then go back to attack the coalition army that is deep in the lone army, and then you can eliminate the main force of our coalition army, so that even in the hands of our army, because the main force is eliminated, it will not be able to hold for long. In other words, what Kuang Zhang wants is not Zhuoxian, nor Xiadu, but to eliminate the main force of our army. ”
The orchestra pit nodded, indeed, this was also what he had just analyzed. It seems that this city quilt is not a straw bale.
"I see." Ji Zhi nodded, he only had three people available, one was the orchestra pool, one was the city quilt, and the other was Qin Kai, but Qin Kai was now leading the troops outside, and he was all horns with each other, so he was not in the city, so he couldn't negotiate.
"What the last general means is that since Kuang Zhang doesn't want Zhuoxian, we don't want it either." Le Chi walked to the map, "With the advantage of good cavalry mobility, guerrilla operations near Zhuo County, annihilating the small group of enemy troops that came to attack, and dragging the main force of the Qi army to the southeast of Zhuo County." As long as the main force of cavalry is attracted to the vicinity of Zhuoxian, once he does not pursue the cavalry, the cavalry will go forward to attack, and once the opponent returns fire, the cavalry will attract them to leave. It is necessary to ensure that our army captures Zhuoxian. If you can't attack it, it doesn't matter, just retreat. ”
"Without the interference of the main force of the Qi army, the Jundu Mountain side will have more time to attack the Qi army camp and gain a firm foothold here. If you want to capture Jidu, the chances of winning are great, and it is also a good boost to morale. ”
In fact, there is another benefit that the orchestra pit cannot say.
Judging from the current situation, Zhao Guo's help to Ji Zhi is a short-term cooperation, and sooner or later the two countries will still have disagreements, and a big war is inevitable. If the Zhao army is only satisfied with occupying the Tang River valley and has no ambition to occupy the Yan State, then after occupying Zhongshan, it can collect its troops and face the Yan State across the Yishui River. However, this is not possible. Not to mention that Puyin is still in the hands of Yan State, as long as the Yan army is out of Puyin, it can cut off the connection between Zhao State from Hongshangsai and Daijun, and cut off the north-south communication channel of Zhao State; Even if Yan State did not send troops to attack Zhao State, Pu Yin Cheng was in the hands of Yan State, which was also a threat to Zhao State.
In the long run, Zhao must control Puyin and Jundu, both of which threaten Yanxia and Jidu, both of which are important traffic channels. Since Pu Yin Cheng cannot be obtained from Yan Guo for the time being, then this military capital is held in his hands first, and Zhao Jun is in the back road of locking Pu Yin Cheng through Laiyuan, which is not indispensable.
"According to the lower capital, the chance of winning the capture of Jidu is only five or five, and the occupation of the military capital is eight points certain." The orchestra pit concluded.
Thistle.
"General, the front line is reporting, according to the scout news, the Yan army is in full swing, and it is possible to send troops at any time."
"Well, got it, let's go down." Kuang Zhang said, and didn't nod, he was writing something on the desk, "Wait." He suddenly remembered something and said to the man, "Where is Ji Ping now?" ”
The man was slightly stunned, and then remembered, isn't Ji Ping that Kuang Zhang said the prince of Yan Kingdom?
"General Hui, since the reign of King Yan, the prince has been drinking in the Ming Hall all day long, and he has fallen asleep in it after getting drunk. Day after day, it never changes. The soldier's heart was full of ridicule, thinking that Ji Ping was simply a wreck, not only could not guard his own country, but also couldn't guard his own Mingtang, if he was himself, he would have hanged himself a long time ago, he even borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and he was alive, he really didn't deserve to be called a prince.
"Is he alone? No one has ever visited him? ”
"The subordinates are keeping an eye on him, and no one dares to go to him. Naturally, no one wanted to visit him either. The mockery was even worse.
Kuang Zhang sighed in his heart, put down the brush in his hand, stood up and said, "Make some food and send it to Mingtang with me." ”
The soldier was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Kuang Zhang to go to see Ji Ping. But he didn't dare to question it, and hurried to get ready.
In the Ming Hall, there was a mess. The original neat and clean tablet of the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom is crooked and dusty at the moment, and it has obviously not been cleaned for a long time. There is no incense in the incense burner, and even the candles are of different lengths, which is a great taboo. And the rituals used for the previous sacrifices were also covered with dust, and some even deteriorated and overgrown with strange things.
Next to the Ming Hall, which was originally a place to visit Baoding, is now covered with a layer of hay, which seems to be the place where someone sleeps, not only there are crooked drinking utensils, but also some tattered clothes are piled up there, and they are in a mess. If you stop a bit, you might even encounter rats.
And in the middle of the Ming Hall, there are several cases, a drunken statue, and a bearded person who is talking drunk. He drank bowl after bowl of wine, and his mouth was babbling and he didn't know what to say. He laughed and cried at times, and his clothes had been scraped into strips, revealing his underwear inside, and in some places there was still mud all over the place. No one could have imagined that this person who was so decadent was Ji Ping, the prince of Yan Kingdom.
When Kuang Zhang stepped into the Ming Hall and saw Ji Ping who was so lonely, he felt a little unbearable in his heart. In the final analysis, Ji Ping has no problem except that he is ambitious. I still appreciate this prince. However, there are only interests and no cooperation between countries. Qi Guo wants to become the supreme in the world, Yan Guo himself is weak and is taken advantage of, and he can't say that Qi Guo is at fault, he can only blame Yan Guo himself. Qi Guo just took advantage of this matter.
"Since the prince has such a Yaxing, why don't you come and accompany the prince, how about it?" Saying that, he asked people to clean up a few cases, put the things he prepared again, and without Ji Ping's consent, he sat opposite him by himself, filled himself with a cup, and drank it all in one go.
Ji Ping looked at Kuang Zhang coldly, although he didn't know what he meant, but his intuition told him that Kuang Zhang's coming here was by no means so simple.
"The general has the power of life and death, and today he is so willing to deign to drink with the same case as those who are downcast like us? Isn't it a loss of identity? ”
"Lost your identity? That's where it starts. The crown prince is the heir to the throne of Yan, his identity is noble, Kuang Zhang is fortunate to drink with the prince, why did he lose his identity? ”
Ji Ping burst into laughter after hearing this, but there was obviously some pathos in this wild laughter. "Prince? What a prince of Yan Kingdom? Good heir to the throne of Yan. So dare to ask the general, where is Yan Guo? Where is the throne? The prince of Yan Kingdom, even this little Mingtang went out! I can't even afford to sacrifice my ancestors! What is the use of such a prince! Say! ”
Kuang Zhang's expression was as usual, he didn't seem to care about Ji Ping's ridicule, he took a drink to himself, and said lightly: "Yan Kingdom is at your feet, and the throne of Yan Kingdom is also above the main hall, why should the prince ask knowingly?" ”
"Knowingly?" Ji Ping pointed at himself and roared at Kuang Zhang: "In today's Yan Kingdom, the soldiers of the Qi State are running on the land, and the war horses of the Qi State are running, and even the flags fluttering in this royal city are not the blue banners of my Yan Kingdom, but the purple totems of your Great Qi!" May I ask the general, is this still the Yan Kingdom? Is there still a king of swallows here? ”
"Why is the prince so angry? What's more, when I went north with the Qi army, I was also invited by the prince to make the trip, otherwise, why would you and I drink here? ”
"The general is really good at laughing. First of all, the Qi army appeared under the Great Wall of our Yan Kingdom, and Lone was willing to form an alliance with the Qi State to crusade against Zizhi. Now that Zizhi is dead, Qi is unwilling to withdraw, but instead abducts my princes Baoding, what is the reason? I knew that today, I should have judged myself in front of the people of the world, and I would not have become a joke of the people of the world today, and I also disturbed the ancestral tablet and lost the princes' treasures. As he spoke, he suddenly threw down in front of those spiritual positions and grabbed the ground with his head: "Listed as an ancestor, Ji Ping is not filial!" "The more I cried, the more sad I became.
A sword was still in front of Ji Ping, Ji Ping turned his head and looked at Kuang Zhang for a long time looking at himself, the latter nodded, pointed to the sword, and then turned back to a few cases, and poured himself wine, not seeming to worry about Ji Ping.
Ji Ping's heart tightened, looking at the sword, it must be extremely sharp. He picked up the sword, and with a loud slam the sword came out of its sheath, and his face turned cold, and he put the sword around his neck. That kind of touch, cool through the bones and blood. His hands trembled slightly, and he knew that as long as he was ruthless, after a while, he would catch up with his father and go to Huangquan together.
And Kuang Zhang feasted behind him, not caring about the situation here. Seeing this, Ji Ping finally stopped hesitating and shouted, "The child is here!" But not long after hearing this, the sword fell to the ground with a bang, and Ji Ping fell to the ground. And Kuang Zhang, who was behind him, actually showed an evil smile.
Ji Ping, I think highly of you, you are a villain who has no courage to commit suicide!
