Section 399 Substitution of offense for defense
There is no good news, and there is no bad news!
Zhao Hao and Tian Wen heard clearly, there was no good news and no bad news, which meant that the most terrible thing had happened.
Zhongshan County has lost control, and the garrison and government have been attacked and defeated.
Tian Wen asked, "Do you know the Yanzhao border guards?" ”
"I don't know, the king only ordered Xiangguo to return to Handan."
"Let's go." Tian Buli knew very well what was going on, and even knew that all this was planned by Bai Hui. But as Zhao Guozhong's prime minister, he has slowly had a capable hat to wear on his head recently, so he naturally has to show Zhao Guoguo's bearing and concern for such a major event.
After Tian Buli gave the order, the entourage went to prepare the frame, and then Tian Buli turned to Zhao Hao and said: "General Zhao, just now I was still talking about the conspiracy between the Qin State and the Yan State, in order not to distract the king, so Zhongmu asked the general, so that the king could focus on dealing with the affairs of Zhongshan County." ”
"What Xiang Guo said is very true, the last general will guard Zhongmu and not let the king be distracted, and the last general will have a word, please tell the king about Xiang Guo."
"Please General Zhao speak up!"
"The rebellion in Zhongshan County, or just the introduction of a certain strategy, the minister has studied Qin Dahe Jun Bai Hui, this person is extremely deceitful, and the affairs of Zhongshan County must be inseparable from it, so please pay attention to the movements of Qin State."
Zhao Hao was talking very seriously, and Tian Buli was also listening seriously.
Then, Tian Buli hugged his fists: "General Zhao, don't worry, these words are quite word-for-word brought to the king." ”
"There is Lao Xiangguo."
"The prime minister should set off immediately, and General Zhao will stay."
Handan City, Zhao Wang's Palace.
King Zhao looked at the information sent from the periphery of Zhongshan County, and his brows were almost twisted together.
"Report, Yan State is a large-scale transfer. Our border guards have not disarmed at night, please give the king an edict on how to deal with it next. ”
"Report, Shun County report. Twenty miles away from the county seat, a small group of Zhao Jun was chased and killed, and when the defenders arrived, there were only corpses on the ground, and not even half of the clothes were left. ”
"Report ......"
One report after another, Zhao Wang felt a lot of pressure.
"Spread the edict of the widow, and Handan will be armed."
King Zhao began to mobilize troops to prevent the rebels of Zhongshan County from storming the city of Handan.
In terms of fighting wits, especially the fighting wits of the art of war, the real great master is on the border of Yan and Zhao.
Bai Qi sat on the horse with his knife and looked at Zhao Jun's military camp from a distance.
"Wu Anjun is wise, everything is in Wu Anjun's control." Xing Wunian admired the five-body throw, he originally thought that Wu Anjun Bai Hui was the immortal god of war in attack, but he never expected that this ability to retreat was also extremely powerful.
Bai got up next to Wang Di and said after allowing him to get up: "Wu Anjun uses tricks, how can ordinary people understand. Even if Zhao Guo figured it out, it was too late. ”
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Di continued: "Kill the county guard of Zhongshan County, and leave a chance for him to send a letter, King Zhao will definitely be tricked, and he will definitely immediately transfer troops to stabilize Handan first, and then send someone to investigate the changes in Zhongshan County." The two large military camps of the Yan army just exchanged guards with each other, but it was enough for the border defenders of Zhao State not to dare to act rashly when they did not have enough information. ”
"Then, by the time Zhao Guo reacted, Zhongshan County was already empty."
Bai Qi didn't say half a word about this plan, but just got up and ordered: "Go back to Feiyi." ”
Bai Qi dared to say this, that is, he was completely sure that the plan for the strategic retreat of the remnants of Zhongshan here had been successful, and when the army of Zhao Guo chased after him, everyone would run hundreds of miles away.
If King Zhao did not return to Handan and directly sent troops into Zhongshan County, then at least half of the remnants of Zhongshan would not be able to leave alive.
Therefore, Bai Qi's strategy is a false attack, as long as the Zhao army returns to defense, even if it is only two or three days, it also wins time for the strategic retreat of the remnants of Zhongshan.
King Zhao's defense of Handan gave the remnants of Zhongshan at least half a month to retreat.
It's enough.
In Zhongmu City, Zhao Hao was very concerned about the rebellion in Zhongshan County, but Tian Wen said: "The people of the Jiang clan have left, and the land occupied by the Wei Kingdom in the Zhao State is empty. If so, Zhongshan County will also be empty. But all this is not for the general to ask about, Zhongmu City will not be in danger at all, and no one will attack it. ”
"Xue ......" Zhao Hao originally called Xue Gong, but changed his mouth and said: "Mr. Zuo, my king doesn't trust me at the moment, and he hasn't received the loyalty of Mr., so Zhongmu City can rest assured that it will be handed over to me to guard, which is already the king's grace." ”
"Yes!" Tian Wen agreed with Zhao Hao's words.
Zhao Hao said: "Therefore, if Zhongshan County will be empty, then even if you should send troops over immediately." I will write to the king. With that, Zhao Hao went to get the pen, but was held down by Tian Wen.
"Mr. Zuo?"
Tian Wen shook his head: "If you guess wrong, the army of Zhao will definitely fall into a trap, with the current trust of King Zhao in the general, this responsibility the general can't afford to bear." If you guess correctly, calculate the time, at this time, it is already powerless, but it will reflect the incompetence of King Zhao, how can the general deal with himself? ”
Tian Wen said clearly, whether it is right or wrong, Zhao Hao will be unlucky.
The only way out is to pretend that you don't know anything, don't write letters, don't say a word about this matter, and carefully manage Zhongmu, train soldiers, store food, and renovate ordnance.
Zhao Hao clenched his fists tightly, and after a long while, he sighed heavily and put the pen back on the pen holder.
"There's no way, you have to protect yourself first."
Zhao Hao knew that Tian Wen was talking about things, although he was helpless, he could only do this.
Besides, here in Yichuan, Xiong Zilan, the envoy of the State of Chu, met with the King of Qin in person and presented the King of Chu with a gift from the King of Qin.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiong Zilan went to see Bai Hui again.
"Brother Hui!" Xiong Zilan called the kind, of course, Bai Hui didn't have anything to say, didn't Bai Hui also call him Brother Zilan.
Welcoming Xiong Zilan into the courtyard, Xiong Zilan said: "Whether it is a mine, a field or a port on the side of Chen, my Chu State can be transferred to Qin State." Please help me Chu and sweep the southeast coast within a year, and please also ask Qin to teach me Chu how to make a profit on the southeast coast. ”
Bai Hui touched his chin and didn't rush to answer.
After sitting down on both sides, Xiong Zilan said again: "Completely destroying the remnants of the Yue State is the national policy of my Chu State." ”
Bai Hui then asked: "You don't want the ready-made benefits on the Chen Kingdom, but you don't know if there are any benefits yet, do you have any strange conspiracy in the Chu Kingdom?" ”
Xiong Zilan shook her head very seriously: "If it's a conspiracy." Brother Hui, you ask yourself, where it is completely in hand, and where a few families share profits, that is more realistic. In the Chen Kingdom, no matter how big the Li is in the Chu State, it will not be much smaller in the southeast coast, not to mention that my Chu family has the final say. ”
