Chapter 912: Cutting Zhao, Coming Out of the Empty Country
In the Zide Palace, Qingji was receiving Gongzi Hong, who had returned from Zhao.
Gongzihong was ordered by Qingji to send an envoy to Zhao State, and he also paid careful attention to the mountains and rivers of Zhao State along the way.
It's different from the people who made Zhao before.
This time, Gongzihong was from Shangjun to Jinyang, the capital of Zhao.
He found the most suitable route for Wu to defeat Zhao.
After talking to Gongzihong in detail, Qingji summoned a group of ministers to the Zide Hall to discuss matters.
Dazai Jiran, Right Prime Minister Kong Qiu, Guowei Sun Wu, Da Sima Wu Zixu, Left Sima Tian Sui Tho, Prince Heng, Gongzi Hong, Gongzi Zhang, Daxing Ling Yanghu, Yushi Dafu Fan Li, and Yushi Zhong Cheng Bo Tuo, all sat together.
"The widow wants to send troops to attack Zhao, I don't know what the second and third sons think, is it okay?"
Qingji stood on a huge map under His Majesty's platform, looked around, and asked the ministers.
"Minister, willing to be a general!"
Wu Zixu immediately asked for battle.
Wu Zixu is the most active in fighting this kind of thing.
Relatively speaking, Sun Wu and Tian Suitho, who are also the gods of war of Great Wu and have great achievements, seem to be unhurried in this kind of thing.
"Okay."
At this time, Sun Wujin said: "The king, the minister thinks that if you want to kill Zhao, you need to have a careful plan. ”
The strategy set by Wu before was to first defeat the remnants of the Three Jins, and finally encroach on the whales and swallow the countries and dominate the world.
Now, both Han and Wei have been greatly weakened by the state of Wu and are in a state of collapse.
There is only one Zhao State, last winter, also annexed the northern Daiguo, after the Hufu cavalry shooting, Zhao's national strength and military strength have been significantly improved.
This all made the monarchs and ministers of Wu State jealous.
If Zhao is allowed to develop and let it go, there is no doubt that Zhao will become a great rival of Wu.
In the future, if Wu Guo wants to destroy Zhao again, it will not be so easy.
"Sun Wu, do you have a good plan?"
"Returning to the king, the minister thinks that this time to attack Zhao, my Wu State can unite Han and Wei and send troops together."
"No!"
Before Qingji could speak, Wu Zixu immediately retorted: "It is true that after the meeting of Mengjin, the relationship between the Three Jin Dynasty broke down, and Han and Wei became vassals of our Wu State and broke with Zhao State. However, Wu Guo and Zhao, Han Wei may have a cold feeling of death and teeth. ”
"If Han and Wei stab in the back, take the opportunity to make peace with Yu Zhao, and counterattack our Wu army together, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Please think twice!"
Hearing this, Sun Wu shook his head and said, "Wu Xinjun's words are wrong. ”
"If you don't unite with Han Wei to send troops to attack Zhao, will Han and Wei watch the fire from across the strait and not save Zhao when they see death?"
"If Han and Wei can send troops and put Han Wei's troops under the nose of our Wu army, they will definitely not dare to act rashly."
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "Wu Anjun, how do you know that Han and Wei will agree to send troops?" If the two countries refuse to send troops, our Great Wu will have nothing to do, unless they take the first step to destroy Han and Wei. ”
In the face of Korea and Wei, which were already struggling, the monarchs and ministers of Wu all believed that there was no need for Wu to send troops to attack Han and Wei.
"The possibility of Han Wei sending troops to rescue Zhao is not small. In order to prevent trouble, the king should be stationed in the two counties of Shangdang and Yingchuan in case of contingencies. ”
Sun Wu made this suggestion to Qingji.
"Good."
Qingji bowed slightly, put his eyes on Wu Zixu's body, and asked: "Wu Yuan, if you send troops to attack Zhao and break the Zhao capital Jinyang, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”
"Two hundred thousand."
“……”
That's not a small amount.
However, it is necessary.
Because this time, Wu attacked Zhao, although it was not to destroy Zhao, but to destroy Zhao.
The State of Zhao is now the strongest of the Three Jin Kingdoms, and can almost compete with the State of Qi to the east.
From the point of view of military strength, Zhao is slightly stronger than Qi.
Moreover, the strategic goal set by Qingji for Wu Zixu is to break through Jinyang, the capital of Zhao, and the place of the party is a hurdle that is difficult to overcome!
Moreover, once the Zhao people resist desperately, if Zhao Ying's troops pour the country, they can at least raise hundreds of thousands of troops to participate in the war.
Wu Zixu wanted 200,000 horses to fight Zhao, which is not much.
"Where are you coming from?"
"Go to the Dang Heights, or set off from Ye County, and go straight to Handan. The minister thought that the king could march in two ways. ”
"Can the troops be divided into three ways?"
"Three-way?"
Wu Zixu was quite puzzled.
Qingji held the hilt of the Longyuan sword in his hand, pointed to the route from Shangjun to Jinyang on the map, and said, "Send troops from Shangjun and go straight to Jinyang." ”
"This ...... Great, is it too risky? ”
Wu Zixu asked dumbfounded.
"Dangerous moves. If Zhao Shi comes out of the empty country, the troops who stay in Jinyang City must not be much, and set off from Shangjun with more than 10,000 iron horses, within a few days, they will be able to reach Jinyang, and they may be able to go down to Jinyang City in a battle while they are not prepared. ”
"King, Zhao State borders the border of my Shang County, and there are also many garrisons, and these more than 10,000 iron horsemen want to hide their whereabouts, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"If you can't hide your whereabouts, you will fight directly, threatening the safety of Jinyang, Zhao Ying may not be flustered, but Zhao people must be panicked."
"The king is wise!"
Relying on more than 10,000 iron cavalry, he wanted to break through Jinyang, the capital of Zhao State, and Qingji was not so arrogant.
However, at least it can provoke the sensitive and fragile nerves up and down Zhao Guo.
"Wu Zixu."
"The minister is here!"
"You lead 100,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalry soldiers, march from the Shangdang Heights, and be sure to break through the defense line of the Zhao people, so as to eliminate the main force of the Zhao army."
"No!"
"Tian Sui Tho."
"The minister is here!"
"You led 100,000 foot soldiers and 8,000 cavalry soldiers to march from Yecheng. Be sure to take the first step and capture Handan, the important town of Zhao State, and then join Wu Zixu and go north together. ”
"No!"
Qingji thought for a moment, set his eyes on Gongzi Zhang's body, and said, "Wu Zhang." ”
"Erchen is here!"
"You take 20,000 iron horsemen, and after the Zhao people come out of the empty country, set off from Shangjun and go straight to Jinyang, the capital of Zhao."
"No!"
This is the force that directly sent troops to attack Zhao.
A total of 230,000 horses.
But, that's not enough.
"Sun Wu."
"The minister is here!"
"You stationed troops in Yingchuan County, control the army, if South Korea dares to send troops to rescue Zhao, immediately crusade, no need to ask the widow."
"No!"
There were also a lot of soldiers and horses in case Han and Wei sent troops to rescue Zhao.
Gongzixi, who is located in Shangdang County, commands 50,000 troops and can hit the capital of Wei at any time.
Sun Wutun's troops were in Yingchuan County, and he could act cheaply, but he could also have tens of thousands of troops to threaten Yangzhai, the capital of South Korea.
"Yang Hu."
"The minister is here!"
"You are responsible for sending an envoy to South Korea, and at the same time transmitting a message to the Chinese language, so that Han and Wei do not dare to act rashly and send troops to rescue Zhao."
"No!"
……
Three days later, Qingji officially worshiped Tian Sui Tho as a general and led the troops to the expedition first.
On the occasion of parting, Qingji also told Tian Sui Tho meaningfully, saying: "Sui Tho, this battle must be a success." The widow is waiting for your good news in Xianyang. ”
"After this battle, you will be a widow, and you will be the third 'king' of my Great Wu to be enshrined in martial arts. The title and widow have all thought about it for you - Wu Yangjun! ”
"Thank you, King!"
Tian Sui Tho bowed gratefully to Qingji.
Wu Anjun Sun Wu, Wu Xinjun Wu Zixu, plus a Wuyang Juntian Sui Tho, the three gods of war in Wu State can truly go hand in hand.
Tian Sui Tho, who was painted by Qingji, was in a very excited mood, and he walked with a tiger.
Wu Guo's large-scale deployment of troops and generals naturally could not be concealed from Zhao Ren.
Zhao Ying learned that Wu was going to attack Zhao, and hurriedly prepared for war, almost conquering the domestic army.
