Section 26 Sortie

readx; In the fifty-fifth year of King Zhou, at the beginning of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Changping. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The general of the Qin army, Wang Di, finally launched an offensive against the Zhao army in Changping, leading hundreds of thousands of troops towards Changping, and after King Zhao Xiaocheng in Handan got the news, he immediately ordered Lian Po, who was far away in Changping, to preemptively attack before the Qin army gained a firm foothold, and this order happened to be transmitted to the Zhao army in Changping at this time......

Changping Zhao Jun, Lian Po account.

By this time, the place was already full of people, and they had been summoned for no other reason than to discuss the impending great war. Among them, in addition to high-ranking generals such as Chen Ze and Ji, there are also travelers in charge of espionage affairs among Lian Po's staff, legal calculations in charge of military quartermasters, and confidants and strategists who give advice, so at this time there are unusually many people in the tent, and there are dozens of people standing in the tent, filling the military tent.

"Everyone!" Lian Po, who was surrounded in the middle, spoke, and at this time, everyone's eyes fell on the supreme commander.

When everyone's eyes were focused on Lian Po, Lian Po looked around at the general and staff in front of him, and said loudly: "General Ben has just received an order from the king. In order to raise the prestige of our army, the king asked us to preemptively strike this time and take the initiative to seek a battle with the Qin army......"

Regarding the initiative that Lian Po said, the faces of the people below hardly changed, and there was no objection. These generals are the elite generals of the Zhao army who came from Handan, and they only know how to obey their king's orders, even if this Qin army has won successive battles and looks very powerful, but they will not be afraid!

This time, in order to confront the Qin State, the Zhao State almost made the whole country in the pre-war preparations, and once again recruited a group of young and strong laborers to enrich the army. But in this way, the quality of the sergeants and soldiers in the army has become more uneven, and this is why Chen Ze needed to be carefully selected among them before. Therefore, if this news is heard by those soldiers who have just joined the army, maybe they will immediately show nervous and timid faces, but these generals will not! They are the core of this army, they are battle-hardened generals, and they are eager to take the initiative to attack the invading Qin army and drive the enemy out of their homeland, rather than fear!

"So for this attack, anyone who has their own opinions can put it forward!"

As soon as Lian Po's words fell, a voice came from a corner of the tent: "General, my subordinates have a proposal!" So everyone followed the direction from which the voice came, and looked over, only to see that the person who spoke was wearing a suit of armor, looking at this dress, this person seemed to be the same as Chen Ze, he was a general in the army.

"Well, Fan you say it!" Lian Po saw that the person who spoke was one of his subordinates, Fan You, so he agreed.

"No!" Fan You bowed his head and clasped his fists and saluted, then said in front of his colleagues who were looking at him: "My subordinates propose that the Sharp Knife Battalion should be included in this sortie, let the Sharp Knife Battalion participate in the battle, and General Chen Ze will command the attack troops!" Fan You said, and then looked at Chen Ze in the crowd who was looking at him.

Chen Ze, who heard this proposal, had no expression on his face, after all, he had already tried to go to the battlefield, and he was not an inexperienced stunned young man. And since he chose to stay, he was mentally prepared for this, so he was not surprised that someone recommended him to be this pioneer. However, he couldn't understand why Fan You, a colleague he had never dealt with, recommended him? Moreover, what was the reason why he did not first propose the operational policy of the sortie, but considered the candidate for the sortie first?

Chen Ze, who was standing there, didn't understand, but Lian Po immediately saw through Fan You's thoughts, and couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and scolded secretly in his heart: "This Fan You, why did he talk about this matter so quickly?"

In fact, as for whether Chen Ze will play, he will bring it up later, but what he hopes is that he will take the initiative to propose it, rather than being asked passively, so of course he is a little unhappy in his heart. He had already expected that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to let Chen Ze fight, and the reason for this was nothing more than that Chen Ze had made a lot of noise in rebuilding the sharp knife battalion in the army these days, but he didn't care about it, but supported Chen Ze. This made some generals in the army feel that Lian Po was a little biased towards Chen Ze, which made some people jealous. After all, most of them have the same official position as Chen Ze, or even higher than Chen Ze, and they have never been treated like this, so how can they not have any opinions? Besides, Chen Ze is still a defeated general who has lost the party.

That's right, Chen Ze was recognized by his colleagues because of the construction of the outer camp wall and the investigation of the terrain, but this does not become a reason for him to be biased, they also did the same effort and work, but they did not get the same treatment, how could they have no opinion?

Especially when they asked Lian Po for instructions on whether they could have the same treatment but got a negative answer, their feeling was particularly strong, and their general Lian Po didn't give a reasonable explanation, after all, Lian Po couldn't tell them about himself, Chen Ze and Shiling. But this has grown their dissatisfaction, Lian Po has always been strict with the army, but when this Chen Ze became like this as soon as he came, why didn't they think about it much?

And this Fan You is the one with the strongest and most radical ideas in this group of people, and he has already approached Lian Po several times in just over half a month. As for him daring to do this now, of course, there is something he can rely on: battlefield command ability. So if it weren't for the fact that he still had some ability, Lian Po would have found a reason to make him feel that he would be out of the house, and he would not have had the opportunity to speak on such an occasion.

In fact, long before Fan You spoke, Lian Po also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let Chen Ze "show his face", use his ability to dispel these objections, and by the way, let Chen Ze use the sharp knife battalion rebuilt by high-quality resources in the army to "show his face", so that Chen Ze can gain the recognition of other people in the army. But he originally only wanted him to be a deputy general rather than a chief general, after all, he didn't know Chen Ze's military command ability, and he didn't know how strong he was, and he didn't know whether the Sharp Knife Battalion had fully trained him, and if this sortie failed, his old face would be lost. However, as a general, he could not veto Fan You's proposal at this time, because if he vetoed, I am afraid that there will be more dissatisfied people in the army. Thinking of this, how could he have a good face towards Fan You?

Just when Lian Po couldn't get off the stage, Ji hurriedly stood up and answered: "My subordinates think this proposal is okay, but Ji also wants to go out to fight to give the Qin army a dismount, please allow the general!" ”

"This is feasible...... Lian Po saw that he stood up to help him round the field, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved. He is clear about the battlefield command ability, although there are few bright spots in the strategy of using troops, and even some conservative, but it is precisely because of this that there are few command errors on the battlefield. For Chen Ze, having such a person who uses soldiers safely to follow him is not a good solution.

So Lian Po hurriedly followed the ladder that he had set up for him: "Yes!" ”

Fan Youjian came out to help Chen Ze, and immediately realized that this hole had been filled. Maybe his prejudice against Chen Ze was too deep, and when he saw that this plan couldn't be achieved, he had another plan, so he wanted to dig a pit on the target of the sortie, and hurriedly added: "Since this is the case, my subordinates think that this target is ......."

Seeing that this fan was unrelenting, Lian Po couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Are you still finished?" If it weren't for the fact that his heart has grown a little bit as he got older, unlike the hot temper he had back then, he would have been unable to help but scold him a few words. He also knew in his heart that this Fan You was good at everything, but he didn't know how to get along with others, and it was for this reason that Fan Youcai, who had a certain military command ability, was just a general under him.

Fortunately, the person who built the ladder reacted quickly, and when he saw Fan You talking about the target of the attack, he immediately interrupted him and continued: "As for the target of the attack, the subordinates have already thought about it!" The subordinates felt that it was better to kill the Qin army scouts in that dense forest first......"

"Scout? Is there a basis? Fan Yujian took the lead in saying this goal, but he still didn't give up, and then asked.

Of course, Lian Po knew what he was talking about, and seeing that Fan You was still unrelenting in asking, he gestured to the wanderer among his staff, paused, and then said: "Let Liu Yi talk about this matter!" ”

This Liu Yi is his Lian Po's wanderer, he just got Lian Po's eye signal, and he can be regarded as prepared, flashed out of the crowd without hurry, and replied: "No!" Then he said the words he had prepared: "According to the news that came back, since last month, some traces of personnel activities have appeared in a dense forest in the west of our military camp wall, and it is preliminarily judged that they should be scouts of the Qin army. ”

After hearing Liu Yi say this, Fan You didn't ask any more, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't think of any other way to embarrass Chen Ze, and he also noticed the change in the expression on Lian Po's face. He also realized that if he continued like this, it would inevitably outweigh the losses. Now that he has achieved his goal of letting Chen Ze fight, as long as he doesn't have real materials, no matter who comes to help him, he will make a fool of himself sooner or later. Thinking of this, he also gave up the idea of continuing to "dig holes".

After Lian Po saw that Liu Yi finished speaking, Fan You did not continue to make trouble, but he was also relieved, and said: "Since this is the case, this thorn in the eye should also be pulled, then kill them first, as our first battle!" Speaking of this, Lian Po turned to Chen Ze, who had not spoken all the time, and asked, "Chen Ze, what do you think?" ”

"Listen to the general!"

"Hmm...... Now that this issue has been solved, let's talk about other things! Fa Arithme, you first talk about the ...... in the army" Lian Po didn't want to discuss this issue for too long, and seeing that Chen Ze agreed, he led the topic to other topics such as military quartermasters.

Half an hour later.

At this time, the discussion on this battle and combat readiness has ended, and the generals and staff members who have been summoned have also left one by one, except for one person - Chen Ze.

"Do you know why I left you alone?" Lian Po looked at Chen Ze, who was left alone by him, and asked.

Chen Ze shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know ......."

In fact, he didn't know where he was, just now when he heard Fan You's words so obvious targeting, he had already realized some clues: some people in the army had objections to him! And he was silent just now, also to avoid some unnecessary things from happening, but for this kind of thing, even if he saw it, he couldn't say it directly, after all, this matter was about unity in the army, how could he dare to talk nonsense?

Of course, Lian Po didn't think that he was really as he said, and he didn't know why he was left behind, and chuckled: "You don't know anything, you're just embarrassed to speak!" ”

Chen Ze, who was seen through by Lian Po, still chose to be silent and bowed his head.

"Actually, this time I also have the idea of letting you fight, I don't want him to bring it up first, since you have already seen the reason for this, I won't say anything......" Lian Po said this, paused, and then said: "You are the apprentice of the Venerable Situation, and the junior disciple of my Engong Wei Yu, so I have never doubted your ability!" But these colleagues of yours don't know your background and story, that's why they have these reactions, and you shouldn't pay too much attention to them. When he said this, Lian Po's tone could be described as serious.

When Chen Ze heard Lian Po's words, he hurriedly bent down, knelt on one knee on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Chen Ze doesn't dare, what the general said, his subordinates understand!" ”

"You know the best! So this time you attack, you must treat it well, don't be sorry for my expectations of you! ”

"Yes! Chen Ze must defeat the Qin army and return victorious! ”
