Battle of Changping Chapter 027 The generals returned to the account

As the hurried footsteps faded away, a few more soldiers came in the tent.

When he arrived in the tent, another person came out of it, and he looked at it intently, it was the old general Lian Po Lian who was wearing the clothes of his own soldiers in order to hide people's eyes.

"Everything has been arranged!" Lian Po asked Zhao Kuo.

"Hmm!" Zhao Kuo replied briefly

Without waiting for the two to continue talking, the two generals Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, who had just left, quietly turned back to the Chinese army's tent under the leadership of their own soldiers.

"This is a general order written by me, which reads: Promote you to a general of the army to carry out secret missions, and all the armies will obey the order. With this order, you need to select 100,000 elite troops in the whole army, half of them on horseback, and secretly go to Daliangshan in the name of transporting grain, and then assemble in the Daliangshan military camp to standby. Zhao Kuo instructed Zhou Qi.

"Yes! It's just a general, and the transfer of an army of 100,000 is quite ...... It is necessary to dispatch, but it is difficult to transfer secretly. Especially the 50,000 cavalry, which is almost one-third of the cavalry, it is really difficult to hide from the eyes of the Qin army. After Zhou Qi heard about the general order, he immediately honestly expressed his concerns.

Hey, I'm so worried, didn't the ancients know how to be flexible? Do you have to wear a soldier's uniform and carry a big horse, wearing a people's uniform, the devil knows whether you are a soldier or a citizen, as for the horses, not to mention, in the West Bank, who knows whether these are fighting horses or transporting goods?

Zhao Kuo looked at the honest man in front of him, and he also had a little headache, but fortunately, Zhou Qi still asked these questions in advance, instead of doing it recklessly, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

was waiting to teach the method of "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea", but Lian Po on the side had already taken the lead.

When did a pro-soldier dare to give himself a kick, is there still a royal law? Is there still a heavenly reason!

Just as Zhou Qi was angry, a familiar slightly old voice had already reached Zhou Qi's ears.

"Don't you know how to use your brains! The soldiers changed the people's clothes, put grain carts on the war horses, and hid the swords, guns, swords and halberds in the grain bar, how could the Qin army standing on the west bank distinguish the people who went out to transport grain or the movement of elite soldiers across the Danshui? Lian Po, who was dressed like a soldier, said viciously.

Zhou Qi looked at it fixedly, it was his old leader, General Lian Po, who instantly turned his grievances into awe, rubbed his kicked buttocks in pain, and muttered in a low voice: "But, 100,000 ......"

And this few resistances are still a little harsh to Lian Po's ears, even if they are Bang Bang and two feet.

"What are you doing with that brain? It's really useless, so I chop it and give the old man a drink! Lian Po said angrily: "I didn't call you to replace all the soldiers and horses at once!" Go to 20,000 or 30,000 at a time, exchange for one or 20,000, but five or six trips, isn't this task completed? ”

"Yes! The last general understands! Zhou Qi didn't dare to hide a lot, he took a few kicks from General Lian Po, took the book from Zhao Kuo's hand, bowed slightly, and left the big tent as if he was fleeing.

After Zhou Qi was done here, Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Sun Gu who was waiting on the side.

"General Sun Gu!" Zhao Kuo said slowly.

"The last general!" Sun Gu replied immediately.

"This is the letter of the marching Sima Yin, leaving you behind, there are three things to explain to you." Zhao Kuo continued to command.

"Yes!" Sun Gu sealed the letter with both hands, ready to accept the order.

"First, from now on, without the order of the general, Han Wangshan military camp is allowed to enter but not leave, and those who dare to break will be beheaded.

Second, after the grain and straw in the big grain mountain are transferred, do not hoard them in the Chinese army, distribute them to battalion units, and make sure that each battalion has at least 20 days of grain and straw in their hands;

Third, all the old, weak, sick, disabled, and civilian personnel in the army were transferred to the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall after the army was mobilized, and they were uniformly deployed by General Tian Dan, who stayed behind in his hometown. Zhao Kuo finished the order in one go.

The first of these points is naturally for the sake of secrecy, after all, whether it is the exchange of elite soldiers for the people, or the distribution of grain after transportation, it is necessary to conceal the Qin army, and sealing the camp is obviously the best way.

This second point is to ensure that after the army crosses the Danshui defense line, even if it is encircled by the Qin army, or even divided and surrounded, it will not immediately run out of food.

After all, once the Zhao army crosses Danshui to the west, the remaining troops on the east bank are bound to be seriously insufficient, and the connection between the Hanwangshan camp and the Daliangshan camp has become the weakest link that is most easily broken at this time. And if this place is breached, the Qin army can cut off the connection between the main force of the Zhao army and the baggage troops.

Under the shortage of food for the Zhao army, if the Qin army could not be defeated in a short period of time, break out of the encirclement, and obtain military rations, the morale of the army would inevitably be turbulent, and the defeat would be logical. (Historically, although Zhao Kuo was defeated in the encirclement, the lack of food did indeed accelerate the process of the collapse of the Zhao army.) )

Taking precautions and bringing enough grain is obviously the best way, even if the fate of being surrounded is inevitable, it can at least let the army hold on a little more, "there is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart".

Of course, carrying a large amount of grain and grass, and even distributing grain and straw to the battalion, will inevitably cause a slowdown in the speed of the march, if it is indeed inappropriate to attack urgently, it is slightly inconsistent with Zhao Kuo's personality in the neutral Qin army, but it is also in line with the status quo of multi-party wrestling in the Zhao army.

As for the final evacuation, it was a regular move before the war, and it could be regarded as a small measure by Zhao Kuo to retain a cent of Zhao Guo's vitality.

"Yes! The last general will immediately go to the herald! Although Sun Gu didn't know the deep meaning of Zhao Kuo's order, it did not prevent him from obeying orders. After what happened to Zhou Qi just now, he had obviously seen that the current general had reached an agreement with General Lian Po, and even every step was the result of joint consultation. In this case, you just have to do what you are told!

After receiving the order, Sun Gu also immediately retreated three steps back and walked out of the tent.

The tent was empty.

And separation, it's time too!

"General!" Lian Po was the first to speak: "Now that everything in the camp is over, it's time for the last general to set off." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "The general is going, you can sit in the big grain mountain first, and then set off after my army has crossed the Danshui and the Qin army occupies the barrier!" ”

"General?" Lian Po was a little puzzled, this was different from what he discussed at the old time.

Zhao Kuo then explained: "The general thought about it repeatedly, but he still felt that the general needed to sit in the Great Grain Mountain temporarily, after all, Zhou Qi had just been promoted to a general, if it was an army of 10,000 or 20,000, it might be able to hold it, but an army of 100,000 might still lack some prestige." If we are forced to send troops when we see that the army is surrounded, all the plans of our army will be in vain. ”
