Chapter 40: Strike First

"Exactly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ni Tao pursed his lips and opened his mouth from time to time to say two sentences: "And there is news that the Qin people who went to Korea to do business did not go to Qin after leaving the Korean border, but went to Zhao State. ”

Outside the tent, a gust of cold wind blew the foot of the curtain door, and at that moment, a sudden chill rose on Zhang Meng's back.

Ni Tao sat silently, just lowered his head and thought about something with his head that couldn't think of anything.

"What do you think about this? Now that there is movement in South Korea, we have to be prepared. I don't know how long it took, Wu Ming on the other side finally spoke.

However, this inquiring sentence sounded like a casual question, and there was no nervousness.

Regardless of their answers, he turned the parchment map upside down and looked at it to himself.

"General, the last general thinks that the city defense should be strengthened in the two cities of Yicheng and Fengyu now, and the boulders and rolling logs for defense should be prepared in advance, so as not to appear in the previous situation of Linjin Pass."

"Well, that's a point." A pen smeared in his hand paused suddenly, Wu Ming looked up at Zhang Meng, motioned for him to continue, "Is there anything else?" ”

This question, Zhang Meng looked at the map, only to hear him hesitate, the voice was very uncertain, "At the moment, the movements of the Qin people and the Zhao people are unknown, we need to send more people to keep an eye on them, but the general thinks that it is not a last resort, and it cannot be done to startle the snake." ”

As soon as Zhang Meng's words fell, Ni Tao said: "I think we should strengthen our vigilance in Yicheng, Fengyu and even Hexi, and Zhao Guo can appropriately send more people to pay attention." so as not to have any accidents. ”

The implication of what Zhang Meng just said was that if a few cities in Hexi and Zhao to the north were to be built, it would inevitably attract the attention of the two countries, and if the situation was serious, Wei was afraid that it would only face the enemy on three sides.

That's definitely something that every Wei person doesn't want to see.

But what Ni Tao said was contrary to Zhang Meng's opinion. After being silent for a while, Zhang Meng was about to open his mouth to veto Ni Tao's resolution, "I think it's better not to easily attract the attention of the Zhao people and the Qin people, after all, our strength has not recovered much." ”

"But that's the way it is, and if we're too passive, wouldn't it be even worse."

"But......" Zhang Meng's black face turned red, and he was about to say more.

Putting the unused brush on the pen stand, Wu Ming suddenly spoke, interrupting the two who were about to continue arguing, "Anyway, no matter what you say, you two think we should not be able to defend the city?" ”

No one answered for a while, maybe Wu Ming asked too profoundly. Or that this problem is not a problem at all in the eyes of Zhang Meng and Ni Tao.

Everyone knows that the defending side can rely on the city to greatly reduce losses, and the besieging side will pay several times the strength to break through the city, the enemy is strong and I am weak, according to common sense to defend the city without giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, this road is not wrong.

"Huh? Isn't that what it means? Wandering gaze swept over the faces of the two, and Wu Ming asked again.

This time, Zhang Meng raised a pair of eyes, and asked softly with a somewhat stunned expression: "The last general is a little confused, is there any other way for the Koreans to come and attack us if we don't keep it?" ”

"Then if my 60,000 troops go to guard Yicheng and Fengyu, the Qin people take the opportunity to attack Hexi, and the Zhao people also take advantage of the fire to rob, facing enemies on three sides, do you have a good law-abiding?"

Wu Ming's unthinking question suddenly left Zhang Meng and Ni Tao speechless.

The two of them were silent for a while, and in their hearts, facing the enemy three times was the worst plan, so they didn't plan to make too many moves to involve Zhao and Qin's sensitive nerves.

Of course, the Qin people took advantage of the fire to rob and did more, so the defenders of more than 15,000 people who stayed in Hexi did not relax the city defense.

"I don't think we're going to be in that situation!" Saying this, maybe even Ni Tao himself felt unconfident.

After all, if it's just if, if it may be a three-way enemy, if it may only be against South Korea, and whether the Qi State will use the crown prince to do anything at this critical juncture, these are all things that there is no guarantee.

"How can a march and a war be compared with ifs. No matter whether there is such a thing or not, we must first take precautions, so as not to be sudden, too passive will not benefit us at all, they are taking advantage of the weakness of my Great Wei to fall into the well, if we only can't defend it, don't say if we can't keep it, even if we can't eliminate their arrogance, then my Great Wei won't be afraid all day long. And judging from the current situation of the South Koreans, this battle will take at least a month to prepare. At this moment, there was no expression on Wu Ming's face, and the voice was cold and resolute.

Since the Qin people were involved, and they also went to Zhao after helping Korea, they had to guard against what they were worried about. And as far as Wu Ming's meaning is concerned, anyone who stops him at this critical time must be beaten to death with a stick, and there must be no future troubles.

This is a plan for the revival of the Wei state that must not be changed by anyone.

"Zhang Meng and Ni Tao listened to the order." Those eyes suddenly moved away from the map and fell on the two of them, their eyes were like torches, "Order, Zhang Meng led five thousand troops to set off at the beginning of the ugly time tonight (between 1.00~2.59 a.m. in the morning of the ugly time), and be sure to arrive at the Fangcheng on the border of Zhao State in the north of Daliang at the beginning of the morning (5.00~6.59 a.m.), and the army will rest and adjust during the day, and organize the people to reserve the equipment for defending the city." From the ugly time of the night to the end of the hour, organize a large army to strengthen the city defenses. Regardless of whether there is a war or not, as long as there is no order from the general, you will strictly defend the city to prevent the Zhao people from sneaking attack. There is another point, 5,000 soldiers took those who participated in the defense of Linjin Pass. ”

"The last will be ordered." A punch slammed into the armor on his chest, and Zhang Menglang responded.

Stretching out his hand to take out a token on several cases, Wu Ming stared at Zhang Meng tightly, and said word by word: "After arriving, the news of the five thousand soldiers must not be noticed by the Zhao people, and the city gate will be sealed if necessary." If Zhao Ren has a move, he immediately sent someone to inform the general. In addition, the weather is cold at the moment, in addition to boulders and rolling wood, etc., you can prepare clear water in the city, and pour it outside the north city at night, the area is not too large, as long as it exceeds the distance of the ladder car parking, so that the water flow will be frozen at night, and so on at noon once the ice thaws will inevitably mix with the soil on the ground, as long as the following becomes the frozen soil Zhao people's ladder will not fall, if the Zhao people attack the city, you can also use cold water to splash down, in short, you can support the Zhao army for a while, but if you can't hold it, try to maintain combat strength, as long as the people are there, the city, Ben will have his own way to get it back, so do you understand? ”

"The last general will obey the general's orders."

"Well, let's go down and get ready to go."

"Yes." Another heavy punch slammed into the armor in his chest, and Zhang Menglang turned around and strode away.
