Chapter 19 The Problem of Sending Troops

After much deliberation, the Korean monarch finally decided to recruit 800,000 troops to deal with the crisis. Qin and Zhao are the two countries with the strongest strength, so naturally they need to attract the greatest attention from South Korea. But this does not mean that Qi and Chu can be underestimated. Because Dongjun, Dangjun, and Runan at the junction of Han, Qi, and Chu can be described as a flat river, and there is no danger to defend. If the armies of Qi and Chu are allowed to break through lightly because of carelessness, then Yingchuan behind them will be in danger! Yingchuan is the place where South Korea has been operating for many years, and if it is warned, South Korea will suffer great losses, and the military will also be turbulent!

Once this war breaks out, the scope will be thousands of miles. The so-called lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and the four countries have a great plan, so they will naturally do their best and spare no effort! If South Korea does not take precautions and make arrangements in advance, when other countries suddenly break out, South Korea will take care of one thing and lose the other. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to divide the theater of operations and delegate command to the hands of generals.

The specific distribution of troops is as follows, the guard lieutenant Li Mu led 300,000 troops, stationed in Dangjun, responsible for the safety of the three counties of Dongjun, Dangjun, and Runan, considering that the plains of the three counties are mostly suitable for cavalry to intersperse, the most elite cavalry in South Korea - Yulin Army was transferred to the command of Li Mu.

Lang Zhong ordered Meng Yu to lead 150,000 troops, responsible for the garrison of Shangdang and Hanoi counties, and the river boat division, which had not been in the army for a long time, was responsible for the response. If the shape was in danger, the king of Han allowed Meng Fu to abandon Hanoi County and try to ensure the safety of Luoyang. The reason why the troops are so small is that on the one hand, King Han decided to take a defensive position against Zhao, and on the other hand, it was determined by the terrain of Shangdang and Hanoi. Shangdang has Taihang Mountain as a barrier, Hanoi is surrounded by mountains on both sides and water on one side, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. South Korea's troops are limited, and the morale of the Zhao army is high, so it is natural to frustrate its edge and make plans again!

Taiwei Storm Kite is in charge of the front line of Hedong, Sanchuan and Nanyang, with 150,000 soldiers. Strictly prevent the Qin State from breaking through from this direction. On the Hanzhong side, it was defended by a 100,000-strong army led by the partial general Le Cheng. In the direction of Qin, South Korea used a total of 250,000 troops!

The reason why the special general Le Cheng was only responsible for Hanzhong and did not transfer the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong was because the core of Hanzhong was Nanzheng, which was thousands of miles away from Luoyang. Over time, it will change! Hanzhong can be said to be the biggest variable!

The benefits of letting the storm kite and the happy ride the army of each leader are obvious. If the Qin State stormed Fenglingdu, Hangu Pass or Wuguan, Lecheng would go north to Guanzhong, so that the Qin State would not dare to concentrate on advancing eastward. If Hanzhong is attacked, the Storm Kite will also launch an offensive on the front line of Hedong, Sanchuan, and Nanyang to contain the main force of the Qin army.

The last remaining 100,000 troops were led by Wei Zhe and garrisoned in Yingchuan, ready for King Han to send to support all fronts!

From the point of view of the distribution of troops, South Korea rejected the 300,000 Zhao army with 150,000 troops. With 250,000 troops against Qin's 250,000 troops, and 300,000 troops against Qi and Chu's 450,000 troops, Korea's strategy can be faintly deduced. That is, to take a defensive position against the Zhao State, to go-for-tat with the Qin State, and to lure the enemy deep into Qi and Chu.

Of course, the strategy will be adjusted according to the actual battle situation, especially the main battlefield of the Central Plains, and it is extremely convenient for South Korea to mobilize troops! The comparison of the forces of the two sides on various battlefields does not tell the whole story. The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth is a decent approach, and the real famous generals are good at taking advantage of the situation. Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

For example, for Zhao State, on the surface, the number of Zhao troops is twice that of the Korean army, and the Korean army is completely at a disadvantage. But in fact, it is not, and the fact that the troops are at a disadvantage does not mean that the South Korean army has no chance to fight back! South Korea has the party in hand. Condescendingly facing Handan, he can threaten the Zhao capital Handan at any time, and Zhao Guo will definitely not forget this. Therefore, when Zhao attacked Hanoi, he would definitely leave enough troops to prevent Korea from sending troops from the direction of Shangdang. As for whether South Korea can hide its whereabouts and deal a fatal blow to Zhao Guo, or whether Zhao Guo can attack the Shangdang in the east and west, it all depends on the command and adaptability of the generals of both sides.

Throughout the month of July. Envoys from various countries traveled around the world to make all kinds of preparations for a great war destined to shake the earth. It is completely impossible to completely avoid the meticulous work of other countries, and the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu understand that it is impossible for South Korea not to know about their conspiracy against South Korea, just as South Korea also knows that it secretly prepares grain and grass and gathers a large army. The only thing that both sides are not sure about is where this big war will begin and where it will end!

There are too many choices, too many possibilities, and the generals and ministers are worried. It's just that when the war planes of various countries start to move heavily, slowly and firmly, hesitation, hesitation, and anxiety are all left behind, and the only thing that countries think about is how to deceive each other and take the lead!

At the end of July, good news came from the northern grasslands and the southern Baiyue land. The Xiongnu in the north agreed to send 100,000 troops to invade Qin and Zhao, provided that a major war did break out in the Central Plains and the Xiongnu were sure to be profitable. When the Chu State attacked Korea, the 50,000 troops of the Dongyue State would go out of Huiji Mountain, cross Zhejiang, and attack Po and Ai Liangyi (now in Jiujiang, the name of the Three Kingdoms was Chaisang), cut off the connection between Yingdu and the Huaisi River Valley, and disturbed the heart of the Chu army.

At the same time, rumors are flying. Although South Korea knows that it can no longer cut off the determination of the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu to crusade against itself, it can always add some blockages to the other side. This kind of thing was also done by the Qin State when the Nine Kingdoms attacked Qin, and the effect proved to be not bad.

Rumors vary from country to country. For example, in Linzi, the rumors spread by South Korea were that they were willing to unite with Qi to carve up Chu, and South Korea took the initiative to cede Dangjun in exchange for Qi's troops. Of course, in order to confuse the state of Chu, Qi and Han had to pretend to fight first. After the state of Chu relaxed its vigilance with the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the state of Qi sent troops to capture the land of Huaisi and went directly to Jiangdong, while the Korean army of 300,000 troops went down the river from Nanyang and Bajun to capture Yingdu. The two countries worked together to drive the state of Chu to the barren land of Lingnan and stop its sacrifice!

In order to cooperate with this rumor, Prime Minister Zhang Ping naturally went to Linzi before this and met with the queen, although the two just talked about this year's harvest with a smile and conveyed greetings to each other, but the rumor was that Zhang Ping swore that Zhang Ping represented the king of Han and the queen to finalize the "wonderful plan" for the destruction of the Chu State!

Another example is Yingdu, where King Han sent dozens of beauties and a few priceless pieces of jewelry to the King of Chu for no reason, plus a letter. Then it didn't take long for Yingdu to spread that Korea intended to ally with Chu and carve up the land of Gulu.

The news spread by Handan was that Qin had secretly reached an agreement with South Korea that the two countries would divide the state of Zhao. In South Korea, as long as Handan and Daijun, Taiyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen belong to Qin. In order to express its sincerity, South Korea will hand over Chang'anjun to Qin to vent his anger. Candidates for proton are being screened in full swing.

In the same way, a widely circulated news in Xianyang is that Han and Zhao have been allied, and now Chang'an Jun is hostage in Luoyang, and the Empress Dowager Zhao, who is in charge of Zhao, favors her young son, and South Korea bribes the ministers of Zhao State, and finally persuades Zhao State to jointly send troops to attack Guannei and exterminate Qin! Chang'anjun is already on his way to Shangdang Changping, as long as Zhao sends troops, South Korea will send Chang'anjun to Handan in two days!

The Qin State has been defeated many times over the years, and it is extremely sensitive to such news. Especially the latter, the shock brought to the Kannai is not ordinarily large. If Han and Zhao send troops to attack Qin, where is the possibility of Qin winning?! Unless the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Chu rescue themselves, they will definitely die! For the Qin State, the best situation is to keep Longjun, hope to make a comeback, and re-follow the old path of the rise of the Qin State!

Fueled by South Korea, all kinds of rumors have spread more and more widely, and the more evil they have become. The so-called three people become tigers, although the monarchs and ministers of various countries know that this is a divisive plan of South Korea, but they can't help but start worrying about how to deal with it if such a thing really happens! It seems that only being strong can avoid the coveting of other countries, and being beaten by four countries like South Korea is also because South Korea is not really strong enough!

Since you want to be strong, you must preserve your strength in this big war, and you must not covet profits and let yourself lose too much. Save people and lose land, people and land survive! If you lose your land, you will lose your land, this is a truth that will never be wrong! The four countries have secretly made up their minds, even if there are no variables, they must definitely find out the movements of other countries while conquering the city, lest they not know when their allies become enemies!

However, before that, the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu faced a practical problem because of the discord between Korea, that is, who would send troops first and who would send troops later. It seems that this problem is easy to solve, but the four countries will secretly agree to send troops together at a time! But it's not!

First of all, the four countries said that they echoed each other, but in fact they were doing their own thing, and in order to prevent each other from tearing down Taiwan, Xinlingjun's Jianyì was divided into four routes, and each relied on its own ability to attack Korea. If you want to do one thing at the same time on a territory that is thousands of miles away, and no one supervises it, it is difficult to predict what it will be!

Secondly, now that the four countries have become a little suspicious, they are definitely not willing to take a huge risk to be the first country to violate the Xinzheng Alliance! For example, it was agreed to send troops on the first day of September, but only the state of Chu sent troops as agreed, and other countries wavered before sending troops, then the state of Chu became a public enemy of the world! At that time, if Korea promised huge benefits and let Qin, Zhao, and Qi withdraw their troops or simply defect, wouldn't Chu be in danger?! Again, this principle applies to the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Qi!
