Chapter 816: Battle in Changping

It has become a logical thing for Zhao Guo to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, a horse suit.

It is said that after Zhao Sheng went down to the court that day, he sent his henchmen in the Plains Monarch's Mansion to send a secret report about King Zhao's attitude to Lian Po, and Lian Po's personality was also stubborn.

King Zhao gave Li Mu the authority to [accept foreign military orders], and at this time, Lian Po was even more because he needed to do so, so Lian Po also ignored the kind reminder of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and even ignored the edicts sent by King Zhao to urge the dispatch of troops.

In Lian Po's view, the Qin army was menacing, and it was not easy to hold the Qin army's attack with the geographical advantage of Changping.

This is not counting the armament of the old Qin Ruishi and the mentality of desperate meritorious service, even more on the old Qin soldiers and horses have always been good at field warfare, Lian Po's idea of taking the initiative to attack was dispelled, and according to the terrain of Changping, he took the combat countermeasures of building fortifications, exhausting the enemy army, and attacking the enemy.

Lian Po ordered the Zhao army to build a strong barrier by relying on the mountain danger. Although the Qin army challenged several times, Lian Po always strictly restrained his subordinates and did not come out of the wall. At the same time, he gathered the old Korean people in the Shangdang area, engaged in battlefield transportation on the one hand, and devoted himself to the work of building fortifications against Qin on the other.

As a result, the Zhao army had a strong barrier, the Qin army could not fight, there was nothing to do, and the spirit was gradually lost.

Besides, Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo's side, as the former minister of Zhao Wanghe's hidden mansion, has guarded Zhao Wanghe for so many years, how can Zhao Kuo not know that Zhao Wanghe wants to win quickly, Zhao is not like Qin, the north of Zhao is almost desert and barren, difficult to cultivate, although the new Julu and Jibei are rich in rain, but the war every year has already been hollowed out.

Zhao Kuo also realized that since the party had gathered 300,000 soldiers and horses, it had to send troops.

Therefore, under the secret signal of King Zhao, the son of Ma Fujun also talked eloquently about the current situation of the party above the court.

At the beginning, there was some restraint, after two or three words, he became more and more unafraid, and pointed out the shortcomings of Lian Po's use of soldiers, even if there were some aftermath of the words, but Zhao Kuo was also superb in his own knowledge of soldiers and horses, and he was bluffing.

Even Zhao Sheng, the Plains Jun who usually maintained a skeptical attitude towards Zhao Kuo's talents, heard this powerful insight, and asked himself whether Zhao Kuo was of great use.

Zhao Kuo's court's discussion of the army was based on "Zhao State's limited grain and grass" to strongly advocate Zhao State's quick war, and it was his own words that he was sure of a quick victory, and finally said that the King of Zhao and the full hall of civil and military affairs.

At this time, there was news that the two cities were captured by the Qin army again, and King Zhao finally couldn't bear Lian Po's passive and stubborn strategy.

Zhao Kuo replied: "There are not a few famous generals in the Qin State, if the Qin State sends the grandson up, the ministers have to think about how to deal with it." Now it's Wang Di, who is just Lian Po's opponent. If you change to a certain commander with the same strength, it will not be a problem to defeat Wang Di. ”

In order to have a few more chances of winning, King Zhao also sent the newly trained Handan new army to the party, and said to Zhao Kuo seriously: "The widow ordered the plain king to recruit men over the age of sixteen of Zhao as soldiers, but there are more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers to strengthen your momentum, and please defeat the Qin army as soon as possible!" ”

Zhao Kuo was grateful for the answer.

As soon as Zhao Kuo entered the party, King Zhao ordered the forcible dismissal of Lian Po as the commander and ordered him to return to Handan to report on his work.

King Zhao was strong, Lian Po had to agree, then Zhao Kuo was Lian Po's junior, Ma Fujun and Lian Po were the two major generals of Zhao at that time, Lian Po regarded Zhao Kuo as a nephew in the family, since King Zhao had a life, Lian Po had to inform Zhao Kuo of the situation of the confrontation between Qin and Zhao in the party.

Zhao Kuo modestly responded to Lian Po's many instructions, Lian Po stayed for a few days, and saw that Zhao Kuo really adopted the strategy of sticking to Changping, and there were a few shortcomings that he had not noticed that Zhao Kuo made up for it.

In this way, Lian Po sighed that the future was terrifying, so Fang completely put down his military power and returned to Handan with the envoy of King Zhao with peace of mind.

Lian Po didn't know that the reason why Zhao Kuo didn't use troops in the past few days was because he knew that most of the soldiers in this army were Lian Po's henchmen, so Zhao Kuo put his cronies one by one in a position of interest, and waited for Zhao Wangxin to make up for the new soldiers from all over the country, and got 450,000 soldiers.

On the bright side, the strength of the Zhao army was already more than half of the Qin army, and Zhao Kuofang summoned the generals and ordered him to take the initiative to attack the Qin army that he had already planned.

……

Speaking of Xianyang's side, the attack on Zhao was planned by the prince and the right prime minister Zhang Lu, from sacrificing the land of Shangdang and a county to trap the forces of Zhao in an attempt to annihilate them in one fell swoop, to dividing the monarchs and ministers of Zhao with businessmen and rumors, and appointing Zhao Kuo, who was not worthy of the name, as the commander, all of which were in the planning of the prince and Zhang Lu.

It can be seen from this that what kind of tricks did Prince Zheng and Zhang Lu plan in this Battle of Changping!

In fact, as early as half a year ago, the prince asked Luoyang to ask Gongsun Qi and Wang Jian to return to Liyang, and secretly led a team of 100,000 soldiers and horses to cross the sea to the land of Shangdang.

Gongsun Qi's exploits in the southern and northern wars over the years, especially valued by Qin Wangyan, naturally no one in the army is dissatisfied, especially Wang Di, although his qualifications exceed Gongsun Qi, but now the battle has reached this point, and it is no longer something that a good general like Wang Di can control with 100,000 soldiers.

Therefore, the actual commander of the Qin army was Gongsun Qi, who appointed Wang Yi as the deputy general, and ordered the army to strictly guard such secrets, and those who leaked the news were killed.

Zhao Kuo has followed King Zhao's side for so many years, and there are not a few court plots that he has seen, and he has heard and seen it, although he is a military general, but the city government in his heart is very deep, and now he has mastered the 450,000 soldiers of the Zhao army with planning.

For the first time, Zhao Kuo was also anxious, even if he was in winter, he ignored the heavy snow in midwinter and attacked the Qin army camp several times.

Zhao Kuo was anxious to fight, but Gongsun Qi responded to his thoughts, so that the troops and horses led by Wang Yi fought and defeated the Zhao army, and lost the two cities in the hands of the "fierce attack" Zhao army.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuo even thought that the Qin army was not enough, so he ordered the army to take advantage of the situation to pursue and chase until the Qin army's Guangwolf Mountain camp.

Zhao Kuo had long heard that the Qin people were good at building fortresses in cities, and today he saw that the Qin people had only occupied the Guangwolf Mountain camp for two years, and he only felt that it was the majestic and majestic mountain that created a continuous and undulating wall.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Zhao Kuo is to recruit Zhao generals Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to attack the Qin army's Guangwolf Mountain camp, and then divided some soldiers and horses to recover the rest of Shangdang County, until February of the following year, but the Zhao army did recover several lost territories and expelled the local Qin army.
