Chapter 229: Zhao Fan Rises Troops

Zhao Guo was the county Taishou Mansion, Zhao Fan sat on the main seat, and Zhang Gao stood respectfully below. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, Hao Zhi hurriedly walked over, and then saluted: "According to our report to Lou Fu's eyeline, the Han State raised 600,000 troops, and the troops were divided into two routes, attacking the city and pulling out the village along the way. Lou Fu's soldiers were defeated one after another, with 100,000 losses in battle. Now the two armies of the Han Kingdom have joined forces and are fighting at a pass hundreds of miles away."

"Then I don't know how much the Han Kingdom lost in battle? How long will the war between Lou Fu and the Han Kingdom last?" Zhao Fan pondered a little and asked Hao Zhi.

Hao Zhi recalled the situation he had inquired about, and analyzed to Zhao Fan: "The two sides are at war, and it is difficult for our eyes to enter the Han sphere of influence. However, judging from the current battle situation, although Lou Fu was defeated one after another, the main force was not lost, but because of the contraction of the defensive line, the troops were gathered in one place. Now that Lou Fu has raised the strength of 350,000 people to defend according to the natural dangers of the mountain range, if the Han Kingdom wants to destroy Lou Fu, I am afraid it will be a protracted war."

"Protracted?". Zhao Fan fell into deep thought, and a trace of joy spread from the bottom of his heart: "According to the terrain, Lou Fu has now gathered his troops in one place, and it seems that it will indeed take a lot of time for the two sides to separate the winners and losers." In this way, there is no need to worry about it".

"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, now that Lou is annoyed and can't go south, the trouble of his henchmen is gone, and it seems that the day when the king ascends the throne is just around the corner." Zhang Gao congratulated Zhao Fan with a happy face.

Zhao Fan's heart suddenly rose with pride, and he immediately ordered: "It seems that the day has come for Gu to go south, immediately recall Mr. Shen, and Gu will have a duel with him Zhao Yu."

"Yes". Hao Zhi bowed and turned to leave.

Just then, footsteps were heard. Hao Zhi was stunned for a moment, Shen Chuan walked over, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles: "Why is it that as soon as I come back, General Hao will leave."

"On the orders of the king, recall Mr., I didn't expect my heart to arrive today." Hao Zhi reacted and explained to Shen Chuan with a smile.

Zhao Fan's eyes looked at Shen Chuan and then smiled: "It's really time for Mr. to come back."

"Look at the king's joy, but some time ago, the minister proposed that the king's affairs have eyebrows." Shen Chuan looked at Zhao Fan's expression and immediately understood something.

Zhao Fan stood up and walked towards Shen Chuan: "Mr.'s trip to Handan has made Gu gain a lot. The Han Kingdom was indeed a windfall."

"In this way, it seems that the Han Kingdom has gone south, and Lou Fu has also fallen into the flames of war." Shen Chuan asked Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan nodded slowly: "If Mr. hadn't told me about this, I'm afraid that Lone would have missed the opportunity to go south, and Mr. Lone Resolution would have returned when Lone went south." Now the time has come, and Lonely Desire and Zhao Yu are vying for the throne."

"In fact, the day after the minister sent this letter, Zhongshan Xiangguo Lechi and Qin Daliang Zao Gongsun Yang visited, so the minister set off to return." Shen Chuan did not answer immediately, but explained the itinerary.

Zhao Fan was puzzled, but he was familiar with Shen Chuan's character and asked patiently: "Qin State Daliang made Gongsun Martingale?" What does he want you to do".

"King Qin's appetite has increased greatly since he swallowed Shangjun, and he wants the lands of Shicheng in my country. If the king is willing to give in, they will send troops to help. If the king does not give in, I am afraid that the king of Qin will rob him. So the ministers took matters into their own hands and gave them all the lands of Shicheng." Shen Chuan slowly explained to Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan was furious: "Take advantage of the fire to rob, after Gu obtains the throne, I will settle this account with these clowns."

"At this time, the king and them can't turn their faces yet, you can pretend to make friends first." Shen Chuan persuaded Zhao Fan, at present, King Zhao is still Zhao Yu, and these places cannot be regarded as his Zhao Fan's. So for the time being, it is possible to make indiscriminate promises, and it is not too late to wait until he ascends to the throne and defends the territory with the sword in his hand.

Zhao Fan suppressed his anger slightly, and analyzed in his heart: "Although Zhao Yu is defeated, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not say that he will move the soldiers of the clan." The King of Qin and the King of Zhongshan, the two people who took advantage of the fire to rob, ignored them for the time being, and then made plans after the attack on Handan."

"If you can think so, this matter has become more than half." Shen Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Fan seemed to have thought of something, and asked Shen Chuan: "According to Mr. Fangcai's words, why is it a few days late."

"Since the king wants to raise troops, how can he not be the pioneer as a minister." Shen Chuan didn't explain immediately, and asked rhetorically.

Zhao Fan was stunned, and he didn't understand how to open the way with Shen Chuan alone: "Open the way for solitude?"

"With the power of the king, with the 400,000 elites of the county, it is either coercive or induced. The guards of Fanwu, the house and other places have already agreed to defect." When he said this, a smug look flashed at the corner of Shen Chuan's mouth.

Zhao Fan was not much surprised when he heard the news, the guards in these places controlled a total of only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the elite level was far less than that of the elite soldiers of Daijun, so he was a little unsightly.

Seeing Zhao Fan's expression, Shen Chuan naturally knew his thoughts in his heart, and explained to him: "The defenders in these places have defected, and the monarch just let them stand still and strictly guard against Zhongshan Kingdom. As far as we are concerned, it is also beneficial and harmless. Moreover, if the soldiers are swift and these places are unimpeded, the king can lead a large army to the sand dunes, the giant deer, and the sindu."

"The gentleman's words are reasonable". Zhao Fan nodded slightly, not dwelling too much on this topic: "Since we have decided to raise troops, I don't know how this battle should be arranged."

"The sand dunes and giant deer are not far apart, and the minister thinks that this place is the place of decisive battle. You can use the main force to split into two and attack two places at the same time. At that time, the soldiers of Handan had to come to help. The king can take this opportunity to mobilize an elite army and storm Xindu. If the capital is broken, it will go straight to Handan." Shen Chuan said to Zhao Fan the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.

Zhao Fan fell into deep thought, and looked at Shen Chuan for a while: "In this way, Mr. is inclined to use the army alone and divide the strategy into three ways."

"Zhao Yu only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the king wants to fight a quick battle and retain the strength of our country. It is necessary to break through Handan City before Zhao Yu mobilizes the clan. Our army has a strong army, and if we want to fight quickly, we can only stretch the battle line, forcing Zhao Yu to divide his troops to guard, so that he can go down in one go." Shen Chuan explained to Zhao Fan. He thought about it for a long time along the way, the ambitions of Zhongshan and Qin, and only by preserving Zhao and national strength to the greatest extent can they be preserved in this world of great contention. And if you want to preserve your national strength, the only thing that is most important is to take Handan before the princess reacts.

Zhao Fan nodded slowly, this is also the truth. Turning around and walking to the main seat, he looked at Zhang Gao: "Summoning the generals to come to discuss matters."

"Yes". Zhang Gao bowed, turned around and walked outside.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and all the generals rushed in and bowed to Zhao Fan, who was sitting on the main seat: "See your lordship."

"Lone wants to raise troops to go south at this time, I don't know what to do." Zhao Fan looked around and asked them.

The generals were overjoyed in their hearts, and saluted Zhao Fan again: "I am willing to obey the orders of the king."

"Okay, the generals will go to the school with Lone, and the soldiers will be divided into three ways to set foot in Handan." After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he stood up directly and walked out with the generals.
