The Battle of Changping Chapter 018 Exchanging Lives for Lives

"The Wei army can't be fully trusted, so why should the soldiers come out?" Tian Dan continued to ask.

"Then he came out of the army!" Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Danshui has been confronted for many days, and I think the Qin army has also found out that Hanwang Mountain is the elite of our army, and Daliang Mountain is where our army's baggage is located, and many of its people are strong. ”

When Lian Po heard this, he didn't shy away from it, and immediately nodded and said: "Qin Jun is exploring the horse day and night, and I can't hide this matter from Qin Junye." ”

Zhao Kuo then said: "That's good, what you want is for Qin Jun to know." ”

Seeing that the two of them still didn't understand very well, Zhao Kuo didn't hide it, and continued to explain: "After the general arrives, he immediately decides to turn defense into offense, and it is inevitable to transfer troops. ”

"Yes!" Lian Po and Tian Dan both nodded.

"The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and since they want to attack everything, they will send troops to escort the grain and straw in the big grain mountain to the camp, is it also the proper meaning?" Zhao Kuo continued to follow the good path.

"That's nature!" Lian Po continued to nod.

"In this case, it is reasonable for the generals under General Lian Po and the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to be sent by the generals to transport grain? At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that General Lian Po's henchmen were slowly dispatched, the general reorganized the army to further eliminate the influence of General Lian Po, presumably Wu Anjun Bai Qi can also understand? Zhao Kuo continued.

Hearing this, Lian Po just wanted to continue to agree, but suddenly a light flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and then looked at Tian Dan on the side.

I saw that Tian Dan also nodded slightly, obviously thinking of Zhao Kuo's thoughts, and said slowly: "Li Dai Tao stiff." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "When I went to tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and when I returned, I mixed in half of the people, that is, with the ability of the Qin army to detect horses, it is not enough to observe it from the clothing alone, and after our army is mixed, it is even more difficult to detect." And in just three or two days, the westward crossing, Tanma will focus on my westward army, as long as the big grain mountain low-key behavior, hiding for a month or two is not a problem. ”

"It's just that, the army of the West Crossing, the combat power has been weakened again, and in the encirclement, I'm afraid it will be ......" Lian Po said with some worry, but before he finished speaking, he had already reacted - Ci is not in charge of the army!

Lian Po, who cut off the conversation, immediately continued to discuss the details of the troop change with Zhao Kuo, obviously acquiescing to Zhao Kuo's "Li Dai Taozhuang" approach.

Although there are less than 200,000 elite troops in the Zhao army, and the combat strength of the rest of the troops is average, even the most ordinary troops, after three years of baptism of blood and rain, are not comparable to ordinary young and strong.

The gap between Qingzhuang and ordinary sergeants is almost visible at a glance, not to mention that Zhao Kuo's meaning is obviously to replace the real elite army with Qingzhuang, and the reduction of its combat power can be seen.

Therefore, how to change is a problem, and how much to exchange is even more problematic.

If you change it less, at the great risk of being discovered by the Qin army and falling short of the entire campaign, it is obviously not worth it, and it will not be able to influence the future war;

But if it is changed too much, it will be easy to be detected by the Qin army, and the weak combat power will easily lead to collapse at the first touch, and if it causes a chain reaction because of this, it will be even more regrettable.

Zhao Kuo, the "initiator", naturally understands, and Tian Dan and Lian Po are even more clear, and it is precisely because of this that the two have been arguing about this number for a long time.

"One hundred thousand!" As soon as Zhao Kuo opened his mouth, he was the king bomb, and nearly half of the elite troops were withdrawn in one breath, if the combat power was carefully calculated, these 100,000 elite troops were almost one-third of the total combat power of the Zhao army today. Once it is withdrawn, the impact on the entire front can be said to be insignificant.

Zhao Kuo's decision was not a rash action without a purpose. Zhao Kuo judged that in order to tempt himself to go deep alone, although the Danshui barrier would be very tragic, the remaining elite would be enough to break through it, and after being trapped, his army would be besieged and face the danger of running out of food, and it was reasonable for his combat strength to decline.

Of course, more importantly, Zhao Kuo believes that non-100,000 elites are not enough to determine the final victory.

As soon as these words came out, Tian Dan and Lian Po were suddenly dumbfounded, didn't these people do everything possible to reverse the situation of inevitable defeat? If the final decision is not enough, what is the point of these plans?

Thinking of this, Lian Po and Tian Dan no longer argued, and recognized Zhao Kuo's decision.

Of course, in this ancient and unparalleled war, any details are worth scrutinizing, and any details are enough to determine the final direction of this war related to the final ownership of the land of China.

……

A military discussion was discussed from the afternoon until late at night, and ordinary soldiers, even if they were personal soldiers, were not allowed to come within three feet of the big tent, and even the food was only brought in by General Xu Li himself.

This may be General Xu Li's greatest contribution in this military discussion.

Of course, hearing the words of the three bigwigs also opened Xu Li's eyes, after all, when he followed Zhao Hao in the past, he almost always acted according to orders, but he had never experienced such intense, complex and detailed discussions.

It can be said that Xu Li benefited the most from this debate-style military discussion.

And this is exactly what Zhao Kuo needs. After all, whether it is Lian Po or Tian Dan, even if he is really convinced of himself, after all, his age and qualifications are there, and he may give himself support in major matters, but he will never worry about everything like a dog.

Obviously, today's Xu Li is the first horse boy under Zhao Kuo. Xu Li's ability to improve can save a lot of things for Zhao Kuo in the future.

Xu Li, naturally, would not let go of such a great opportunity, and from the very beginning, he absorbed the strengths of the three of them like a sponge: Zhao Kuo's layout was magnificent, Lian Po sent troops to arrange the formation delicately and meticulously, and Tian Dan grasped the timing just right.

The unbridled planning and down-to-earth arrangement are combined without any disobedience; Familiar with people's ideas and unexpected attacks, wantonly swaying on the sand table; The meticulous arrangement of Shiwu and the attack and defense of the battle line as wide as tens of miles were also implemented on the battlefield almost at the same time.

The scenes in the military tent, like peerless military books, wantonly washed away Xu Li's original experience - it turns out that the war can still be fought like this!

And just when the three giants of Zhao State were carefully arranging the direction of the Battle of Changping, under the moonlit night, a group of black-clothed soldiers and horses, who were not very numerous, also quietly entered the barrier on the west bank of Danshui.
