Chapter 47 Working together

PS: I came back late from a business trip, so I kept everyone waiting, update 2,000 words today, and 10,000 more tomorrow!

Hou Sheng was full of grief and anger, and couldn't accept such a reality for a while, so he actually fainted! The Qi army was already frightened, and when they saw that their main generals had fainted, they naturally fled west in a hurry.

How could the South Korean army give up such a good opportunity to expand the results of the battle! Five thousand elite cavalry pursued and killed all the way, until Tian Yin, the deputy general of the Qi army, led reinforcements to meet them, and the Korean army was afraid that the Zhao army might take advantage of the situation to attack the camp, so they collected their troops and returned.

On that day, the Qi army invested 80,000 troops before and after, with more than 30,000 casualties, but only broke through the outermost camp of the Korean army. Although Hou Sheng quickly woke up and inspected the military camp under the construction of the adjutant general Tian Yin, trying to calm the morale of the army, this fiasco was like a lingering cloud, floating on the head of the Qi army, and it was by no means something that could be dissipated in a short time!

After Lian Po heard the news, he was both surprised and happy, and a little sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, which can be called a mixed taste! Lian was quite surprised that the Han army could achieve such a big result, and he was glad that the Qi army had folded so many soldiers and horses, and the Zhao army's voice in the follow-up actions would be much higher in the future, at least there would not be a phenomenon of the Qi army disobeying the yang and the yin. It is conducive to the two countries working together to pass through the East County! As for the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, it is a secret fluke, if it is the Zhao army that attacks the camp, I am afraid that it will also fall for the tricks of the Korean army!

He did not inform the Qi army in advance that the Korean army's ultra-long-range and super-powerful trebuchets and crossbow arrows were certainly a reason for the defeat of the Qi army, but the Qi army's losses were so heavy, and the command of the Qi army was also a very important factor. The Qi army, which is eager to win, fell for the trick of the South Korean army to lure the enemy deeper, who can blame it?!

Thinking from another point of view, if the Qi army wins a complete victory, it must be even more domineering, how can I direct the Qi army to move?! Isn't this the opportunity you've always dreamed of?! Therefore, the sadness in Lian Po's heart only passed in a flash. Began to analyze how to take advantage of the defeat of the Qi army!

Lian Po knew that although the Qi army claimed to be 200,000, in fact, it had also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in scattered battles with the South Korean army in the past two months, and only 190,000 when it set out. Now it has lost more than 30,000, and there are only more than 150,000 people who really have the power to fight a battle, considering that the Qi army has been sparse for a long time. The real combat power is equivalent to the combat power of the 100,000 Zhao army. Lian Po firmly believed that if Qi and Zhao were enemies at this time, he could completely annihilate the Qi army led by Hou Sheng, even if the other party had 50,000 more than his own army.

Weakening the Qi army is just a means, Lian Po's real purpose is to drive the Qi army to follow the Zhao army wholeheartedly through the eastern county, and Pingyang, as the gateway to the eastern county, is naturally to take it as much as possible. This was not only to prevent the arrival of South Korean reinforcements, but also to establish its own prestige. After all, the prestige of a coalition commander is nothing more than the combat effectiveness of his subordinates. All that remains is the ability to command. Now that the strength of the Qi army has been inferior to the Zhao army, all that remains for him is to lead the coalition army to a big victory, and at the same time save the sluggish morale of the Qi army.

Although the Zhao army is brave, there are more than 300,000 Korean troops in Dongjun and Dangjun, which is by no means something that a mere 100,000 Zhao troops can deal with! Even if the 150,000 Qi army fought desperately, the victory or defeat of the two sides would only be five or five points. The only thing that the combined forces of Qi and Zhao could do was to inflict heavy losses on the Korean army in Dongjun before the main force of the Korean army discovered the Dongjun Incident. Gain a numerical and strategic advantage! As long as you destroy 100,000 Korean troops, the rest of the battle will be easy to fight!

So. Lian Po only took a few relatives to visit Hou Sheng, the reason why he didn't bring the generals was also to worry about Hou Sheng's face, after all, this defeat, Hou Sheng should be ashamed to see people.

Faced with Lian Po's request to see. Hou Sheng was originally going to call himself sick, you know, just yesterday, he swore that he would take down the South Korean army camp and annihilate 50,000 South Korean troops. As a result. In just one day, the Qi army paid 35,000 casualties, but it didn't even touch the core camp of the Korean army, and the casualties caused to the Korean army were only four or five thousand! This is simply a naked slap in the face. For a person who becomes the prime minister of a country, it is even more uncomfortable than killing himself! It's just that Hou Sheng didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

After all, Lian Po is a famous general of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and the morale of the Qi army is currently low, but after all, he will attack the Korean army camp, maybe he can let Lian Po help with advice. As long as Zhao Jun is willing to feint to attack the Han army camp, the pressure on the Qi army to attack the Han camp will be much less! What's more, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and even Lian Po has also fought a lost battle?! Now that the Qi army and the Zhao army are in the same boat, the Zhao army will not fall into the ground, otherwise, the Zhao army will need to face hundreds of thousands of Korean troops alone.

After Hou Sheng heard such persuasion, he decided to meet Lian Po. In fact, as Tian Yin expected, Lian Po did not satirize the defeat of the Qi army, but asked very thoughtfully whether the Zhao army should share some of the burden of attacking the Han army camp, whether the doctors in the Qi army camp were enough, and whether the herbs were complete. After cursing the insidious and cunning of the Han army together, Lian Po showed his intention - the Zhao army was willing to send 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Han army camp from the south!

In the first year, 30,000 troops are not much, but you must know that the Zhao army is only worthy of 100,000 troops, and because of the terrain, the south of the Han army camp is a small hill, and the Han army can be described as condescending, if the Zhao army feints, the casualties will inevitably be large. From this, we can see the sincerity of Lian Po Qi Army!

Hou Sheng groaned and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to attack from the southern side!" ”

Lian Po said righteously: "Now we are all here to destroy South Korea and restore Wei, so we should abandon our previous suspicions and work together!" The casualties of attacking from the southern side are larger, but the South Korean army must not have many troops deployed in the south, as long as our Zhao army is vigorous, there is a great possibility to rush forward! When the time comes, your army will attack together from the west or the north, how will the Korean army parry! After taking Pingyang City, the main force of the Korean army in Dongjun will be removed! After the soldiers surrounded the beam, the king of Wei came out again and raised his arms and shouted, Dongjun must not be owned by Korea! ”

Hou Sheng faintly understood Lian Po's true intention, the restoration of Wei and Qi would be beneficial to Zhao, otherwise, the two countries would not have been agreed to by Xin Lingjun as soon as he lobbied. Korea is aggressive, and Wei happens to be an excellent buffer between the two countries and South Korea! Pingyang is not down, why surround the girder? Without surrounding the Great Liang, how could the King of Wei exert his influence? Lian Po would rather have more casualties among the Zhao army to prove that the Qi army is in good spirits! It won't be long before South Korea learns that Binh Duong is surrounded, and now, what the Qi and Zhao coalition forces need to do is work together, not calculate with each other. Otherwise, the previous sacrifice will be in vain! (To be continued......)
