It stands to reason that three months plus one month should be four months of food, and four months of time is enough to trap any army that is lightly attacking.

It's a pity that in wartime, the accounts are not counted like this.

First of all, since it is necessary to lure the enemy into the depths, it is inevitable that it will launch an attack first, and it will take a few days to say the least, and it will not be possible to retreat in a battle after the real attack.

Then the Qin army pressed on, and the Zhao army retreated. But since it was defeated and retreated, even if the grain and straw had been transferred, it was impossible to take all the grain and straw away, and it was normal for the Qin army to be confused by the grain and straw in the camp for half a month to the twentieth, plus the "embarrassment" on the way to retreat, the grain and grass that had been consumed for more than ten days could be regarded as due respect in the eyes of the Qin army.

As a result, less than two and a half months of grain and grass were left for four months.

The cavalry troops and the partial division hidden in the mountains, the most indispensable thing is the grain and straw, bringing enough grain and grass is the most basic requirement, fortunately, the two partial divisions have few soldiers, although the consumption of war horses, but only the grain and grass of the Zhao army's foot soldiers are slightly reduced for more than ten days.

In this way, the grain that can really follow the Zhao army to the front line of Changping Pass and Guguan will probably be reduced to less than a month and a half.

Be generous, even if you still have 50 days of grain, it is basically the same as that of the partial teacher.

In other words, the Zhao army must complete the battle against the Qin army within fifty days of retreating to the line of the Bailishi Great Wall, otherwise he will fall into a situation of no food first.

However, is 50 days enough time to complete the action of cutting off the grain and hitting the side and back as General Lian Po said?

Obviously not enough.

The Zhao army that came out of the Danzhu Ridge wanted to completely cut off the grain route of the Qin army, and it would take more than ten or twenty days to say the least, and during this time, even if the Qin army was unprepared, it would send some grain to the front line. Coupled with the captured grain and straw of the Zhao army, as well as the grain and grass that he carried with him, the Qin army still had more than 20 days of grain and grass available.

In other words, even if the Qin army was careless and did not prepare enough grain and grass, only with the minimum amount to carry and the capture of the Zhao army, the day when the Qin army's grain and grass were cut off, the Zhao army's own grain and grass would not be surplus for several days, and even knew that there was a danger of running out of food, and the Qin army's rations were almost the same as the day when the Zhao army ran out of food.

Well, even if Zhao Jun's secrecy measures are quite in place, neither Qin Jun nor Zhao Jun's own people are aware of the fact that Zhao Jun is short of food, and Zhao Jun also strictly controls the distribution of food, perhaps, it can have a few more days of food than Qin Jun.

However, with the combat strength of the Qin army, even if there is no food, will it collapse at the first touch? Even if you kill a horse and eat it, you can always hold on for a few more days. And in just a few days, the Zhao army will also run out of food, so that the army of the two phases of food outage, the Zhao army can really fight the Qin army?

Apparently not!

The shortage of its own grain will directly cut off Lian Po's so-called plan to lure the enemy into depth.

"Please ask my king to allocate grain and grass?" Lian Po asked unwillingly.

"This batch of grain and grass is the last grain in the national treasury." Zhao Kuo on the side continued to ruthlessly cut off the last shred of hope for Lian Po: "At this moment, there are still several months before the harvest of autumn grain, not to mention, even on the day of the autumn harvest, Zhao Guozhi's autumn grain has failed because of the lack of youth, plus the cost of transshipment ......"

The following words no longer need Zhao Kuo to continue.

Lian Po's painful expression on his face already showed that he had understood the meaning of Zhao Kuo and Tian Dan's words.

"How so?" Lian Po muttered to himself a little lonely, and there was a little bit of incredulity in his voice.

"War is never just a battle for victory on the battlefield, but more importantly, a competition of national strength." Zhao Kuo slowly comforted Lian Po: "Qin supports the granary of Bashu, the fertile field of Guanzhong, and has been operating in Hanoi for many years. Although there is a consumption of transshipment, all its grain is more than three times that of my Zhao State, and its loss is not counted. Although there are many soldiers, there is no shortage of food.

And I, Zhao State, since the first war three years ago, the young and strong are all in the army, and there are only women left in the fields. Three years almost nothing, a hundred years of accumulation was consumed in the three years of confrontation. This is not a war crime either. ”

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Lian Po had to sigh deeply, the country was not powerful, and it was not something that he could turn around as a general, so he immediately put down the baton in his hand, bowed his hand slightly, and retreated to the side.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo also looked at the sand table, used his arm as a stick, and began to throw Wang Fang at everyone.

"It's not just the grain problem. What's more, I'm afraid we all underestimate the Qin army. Zhao Kuoyu said endlessly: "Not only the military strength of the Qin army, but also the ability of the Qin generals, we are too underestimated. ”

Zhao Kuo paused slightly, glanced at the three of them, and then said slowly: "According to reliable information, Qin State Wu Anjun Bai Qi has led no less than 100,000 troops to secretly enter the Danshui defense line. ”

"Hiss......" The three people who heard the news all gasped.

Wu Anjun!

100,000 troops!

Any one piece of news is enough to surprise the eyeballs, let alone two news at the same time. If this is the case, I am afraid that the Qin army not only intends to join the party, but also wants to take down the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao State in one go, and even go straight to Handan!

"Is that true?" Lian Po and Tian Dan blurted out almost at the same time.

No wonder they don't believe it, after all, the Qin State has already assembled hundreds of thousands of troops on the Danshui front, and it would really hurt to add 100,000 troops at one time.

And Wu Anjun is like a nuclear weapon, once it is used, it is basically a non-ending situation, and Qin Guo is also very careful about the use of Bai Qi.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he nodded calmly and said, "This matter is true." ”

Zhao Kuo's words were frozen again, and this matter was confirmed by Zhao Kuo again and again, and everyone did not believe that Zhao Kuo would lie on such a critical matter.

And the arrival of Wu Anjun made Lian Po's plan almost impossible to realize, obviously known as the slaughter of people, Bai Qi, who liked to fight the war of annihilation the most, would not give Zhao Jun any chance to besiege him. It is said that today's Zhao army itself is still short of food, even if the Zhao army is not short of food and grass, with the ability of Wu Anjun, he will not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy and not carrying grain and grass.

At the same time, in the face of the Qin army, which had a total strength of up to 500,000, it was also a huge challenge for the Zhao army to hold the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall after repeatedly dividing the troops

Therefore, the plan that is destined to be cheap cannot be implemented at all.

Zhao Kuo, who teamed up with Tian Dan to deny Lian Po's strategy and released the explosion of King Wu'an, immediately turned his attention to Tian Dan.

"The old general Lian Po's tactics are no longer available, I don't know why General Tian taught me?" Zhao Kuo asked slowly while picking up the baton and handing it to Tian Dan's hand.
