The Battle of Changping Chapter 024 The bright rise and the dark fall pave the way

Zhao Kuo obviously knew General Lian Po's plans, and naturally he was happy to let Lian Po pave the way for him, and then continued to enjoy General Lian Po's performance on the main seat.

But he never wanted to pull him into the water.

Seeing that he turned his head, Lian Po said to Zhao Kuo emotionally: "The generals have followed me for many years, and they are all generals who have brilliant achievements and can fight." I hope the general will not abandon it because of me. It is also hoped that the general will give priority to the military, observe the situation, select talents and use ability, defeat the Qin army, and repay the favor of the king. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Kuo to react, Lian Po continued to show off his acting skills.

"Gentlemen, goodbye, Handan!" After that, he turned around and left, not taking a blade of grass with him, leaving only the generals in the camp to look at his lonely back, crying red eyes.

Ma Dan, Lao Tzu's tears have also come out, I won't watch the Oscars without you - drama spirit!

I don't know how much you have been wronged!

Looking at the people in the field, Zhao Kuo cleared his throat and said to the generals in the camp: "General Lian is very old, in addition to the reason for the long-term fruitless confrontation in the Battle of Changping, this time Handan is also out of protection for him. ”

Zhao Kuo eased the atmosphere slightly, and when the generals came to their senses, they knew that this matter should be to appease the army, and they must not let the generals think that after General Lian Po left, they would be excluded.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo ordered: "Sun Gu, Zhou Qi, where are the two generals?" ”

"The last general!" Sun Gu and Zhou Qi stepped out in unison.

"Before General Lian Po left, he specially mentioned the two for the general, and said that they need to be reused." Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Today, Sun Gu is promoted to be a general, and he is also a marching Sima; Zhou Qi was promoted to be a general, in charge of the army's grain and grass. ”

"Yes! General Xie. Although the two already knew that they were going to be promoted, now that General Zhao Kuo said it in front of everyone, his heart was still agitated.

O general! That's a high-level general who can take charge of a partial division of an army alone! How many soldiers' dreams! Especially Zhou Qi, who came from a poor family, almost never thought that he would be a general one day.

And with the two of them being sealed, sure enough, the turbulent hearts of the generals present with the departure of General Lian Po slowly stabilized.

Zhao Kuo knew that it was time to tell them about their next steps: "General Lian has turned back to Handan, and what we have to think about now is how to defeat the Qin army on the other side." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to pouring a bowl of cold water into the slightly cooled hot oil, and in an instant, oil stars splashed everywhere.

"Defeat the Qin army, it sounds good, I also want to fight, how to fight?"

"Old General Lian can only hold on, you want to defeat as soon as you come, it's really crazy!"

In the face of doubts, Zhao Kuo did not treat him warmly, after all, "giving a sweet jujube a stick" is the best means for the superior. Zhao Kuo, who had a cold face, looked around and said slowly: "Is this how General Lian taught you?" Have you forgotten all the seventeen bans and fifty-four beheadings? ”

The generals were shocked, and then realized that this was a military discussion, and it was the commander who was speaking just now, and with his own wild words, he was guilty of building an army or slandering the army, and he was properly stabbed! (The fourth of the seventeen prohibitions: complaining more, angry with its main general, not listening to constraints, and teaching difficult to control, this is called forming an army, and the offender is beheaded.) Eight of the Seventeen Prohibitions: Good tongue and sharp teeth, acting in vain, transferring sergeants, making them discordant, this is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded. Hurriedly knelt down and received the punishment!

"Just once!" Zhao Kuo saw that the generals were already in awe, so he didn't do much to investigate.

"Three years of confrontation has wasted money and food. Our army has the advantage of cavalry, but it must not be used. This is the biggest drawback of our army. This time, the tactics are only one word - attack! ”

"General Qiyu: Three years of confrontation, our army from the beginning of the mutual attack, to the later Qin soldiers to attack and our army to defend, and now our army wants to defend and can not cope with it, if it rashly turns defense into attack, it may be difficult to succeed, once the offensive is not successful, the Danshui defense line is also difficult to protect, please think twice." Although one of the generals had palpitations, he did not respond humbly or arrogantly.

"If you have this idea, the Qin army must also have this kind of thought, turn defense into attack, the Qin army will not have time to react, we can catch him off guard, this is a surprise attack on his unprepared strategy, it is one of the chances of victory!" Obviously, Zhao Kuo is willing to explain a thing or two about such a benign discussion.

"Attack is what our cavalry is good at, defense is not the strength of our cavalry, and the three years of attack by the Qin army have made them forget how to defend, abandon the shortcomings of our army and use the strengths of our army, and attack the enemy's shortcomings with the strengths of our army. Zhao Kuo continued to explain.

Listening to Zhao Kuo's explanation, everyone also nodded, as if there was some truth between them, but they felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't say it!

Looking at everyone's appearance from strong opposition to thoughtfulness, and then to now gradually being persuaded, Zhao Kuo was obviously very satisfied: talking on paper, that is our specialty, thousands of years ago, we didn't dare to talk about the second. A war of words, really, we haven't lost!

However, this seemingly self-consistent logic and abundant odds of victory have a fatal premise - the Qin army on the other side knows nothing about the deployment of our army!

However, in fact, the Qin army on the other side not only knew that the Zhao army would definitely turn defense into attack, but also made full preparations for the possible attack of the Zhao army.

Of course, others don't know these things, and it's impossible for Zhao Kuo not to know. However, these things, obviously Zhao Kuo was not prepared to inform the people present.

"Inherit the general's order!" Seeing that the effect of Liwei had been achieved, Zhao Kuo immediately began to issue his own orders.

"In!" All the generals present responded in unison.

"General Zhou Qi." Zhao Kuo was the first to point out.

"The last general!" Zhou Qi immediately went out of class to answer the promise.

"Order you to garrison the Great Grain Mountain, quickly transfer the grain in the Great Grain Mountain to the camp of Hanwang Mountain, and within one day, be sure to send the army's food for ten days!" Zhao Kuo stood up and pulled out a token from the desk.

Hearing this general order, everyone present changed their faces one after another, and they had a bad premonition - isn't this a bright rise and a dark fall?

Everyone knows that Zhou Qi is good at attacking, and he is about to turn defense into attack, but at this time, let Zhou Qi, a strong general who is good at attacking, go to Daliang Mountain to guard grain and grass? Isn't this a chaotic fate?

Of course, Zhou Qi knew that the reason why Zhao Kuo sent himself to Daliang Mountain was not only not to rise and fall secretly, but to use it greatly, but to pave the way for the future Tibetan troops and counterattacks. But on the surface, Zhou Qi had to pretend to be embarrassed.

The few generals present were about to say something for Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi, who saw and heard the order, although his face was uncertain, his steps were stagnant, and he went straight towards the desk, took the token with both hands, and said, "Obey!" ”
