"Slow!" Bai Qi interrupted the scout's report with a wave of his hand, his eyes swept to the soldiers on the side, and said, "Where is the map?" ”

On the wooden frame more than one person high, a gray brocade silk was crumbled tightly by the surrounding twine, and the charcoal pen was ink, and on the flat silk book, the vertical and horizontal of the landscape and the vastness of the world were described as carefully as possible.

It's a pity that limited by the primitiveness of the production tools, even if the technique is too superb, it can't show the form of the battlefield as vividly as Zhao Kuo's sand table, especially in the depiction of length and shortness, often only its general shape and distance, and it is impossible to quantify even slightly.

However, even if this is such a vague map, it was carefully explored by countless Qin soldiers who risked their lives, and it was precisely with this rough map that they fought one battle of annihilation after another.

The ability of Bai Qi and the sharpness of the Qin army can be seen.

Standing up, taking three steps and making two steps, Bai Qi came to the front of Yutu, and the surrounding Qin army generals, including the scouts who were reporting, also surrounded him.

I saw Bai Qi writing with his hand, and according to what the scout just said, he carefully rubbed it on the map.

Immediately, he nodded and said: "The Zhao army going south, the goal is obvious, it must be to transport grain from the big grain mountain, as for the army going north, if it is an attack, three thousand people are slightly insufficient, and it must be used as an auxiliary." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Qi said firmly: "If the Zhao army wants to cross the Danshui, it must first lower its water level to facilitate the interspersing of its soldiers and horses. These 3,000 soldiers must have gone to the upper reaches of Danshui to cut off Danshui. First, the Zhao army's attack is imminent, and if it goes well, it will be in these few days; Second, Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, is indeed a person who is familiar with military books. ”

As soon as the words fell, a general on the side turned out to be talking and asked, "General! It was known that it wanted to cut off the Danshui, but our army sent 5,000 troops to destroy all the soldiers who cut off the flow of water. ”

"Annihilation, how can the Zhao army turn defense into offense?" Another general immediately denied: "According to the end of the general, the water source can be cut off by the Zhao army first, and when the main force of the Zhao army crosses the river, it will defeat its army in a big way, release Danshui and go south, and it will definitely be able to win a miraculous victory." ”

Hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head slowly, and there was even some anger in his expression.

General Wang Yi on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately said: "The general said that the chief general of the Zhao army only knows how to read military books, how can people who have been in a hundred battles do the same?" ”

Saying that, Wang Yi pointed to the top of Danshui and said: "Since the beginning of summer this year, there has been heavy rain, but there have been mud and rock floods? With the amount of Danshui now, it is difficult to drown a person, do you need to cut it off? That idea of water, even if it is accumulated for three days and three nights, how much impact can it have when you put it down? ”

"The last will know what is wrong!" The two generals immediately confessed their mistake.

Bai Qi didn't blame, but said with some encouragement: "In the pre-war discussion, it doesn't matter if there are mistakes or omissions!" However, there are ideas that can be said, and the tactics are slowly improved from the correction of mistakes over and over again. The two generals didn't care, they would have looked forward to better advice in the future. ”

"Yes!" If the two of them were pardoned, they immediately received the order.

"This general is old, this battle may be the last battle of this general, and Daqin will be handed over to you in the future." As he spoke, Bai Qi looked around again, and said quite hopefully: "Generals should think and do more senators. ”

"Obey the order!" The generals replied in unison.

To be honest, Bai Qi was a little dissatisfied with the two generals who had just spoken.

If such words were uttered by a lieutenant, he would be happy, because it showed that a lieutenant who should have paid attention to combat command began to think about strategic matters, and this was a good message.

Such a mistake, if a lieutenant makes it, Bai Qi can also accept it, after all, he has just stepped into the high-ranking position of the Qin army, and he can take the initiative to think, and dare to express his thoughts in the military meeting, which is very worthy of encouragement. And such a mistake was made when he was a lieutenant, and it would not have much impact on the army, but would accelerate his growth.

However, such words came out of the mouths of the two generals, and Bai Qi was a little unacceptable.

The general can be the master of a brigade of partial divisions!

In other words, a person who already has the ability to take charge of himself will even be sent out to lead an army at any time, and with such quality, it is obviously incompetent to take charge of the army.

The most uncomfortable thing for Bai Qi is that such a situation is probably not unique among the Qin army. To put it simply, although the Qin army is still elite enough to make the Shandong countries fearful, there has been an obvious fault among the middle and high-level generals.

In the seemingly prosperous Qin army, there are actually many hidden dangers.

That's right, there are really middle and high-ranking generals in the Qin army today, although there are indeed a lot of them - Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Wang Yi...... and other candidates, which can be described as the momentum of cooking oil with fire, but if you look closely, you can find that almost all of these generals are already in the age of knowing their fate, and they are already considered to be long-lived in the Warring States where there is a shortage of medical treatment.

If you investigate one or two further, it is easy to find that there are no Qingzhuang generals in the Qin State who can be named.

Historically, after Bai Qi won the Battle of Changping, he was immediately given by the King of Qin to commit suicide. Immediately afterwards, the seemingly invincible Qin State, just a few years later, was defeated and retreated to Hanguguan under Wei Wuji's offensive, although there was a reason for the excessive consumption of the Battle of Changping, but I have to admit that the problem of the Qin army's lack of success also played a big role in it.

It was not until the appearance of "Mengqiu" that the Qin State ended the dilemma of having no generals. And this period was also the most chaotic and dangerous time before the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms. It's a pity that the only Zhao State that could fight the Qin State alone was broken in the Battle of Changping.

The Wang father and son, and the Mengshi brothers came out one after another, truly pushing Qin Shi Huang to the highest throne in ancient and modern times.

Although Bai Qi is now somewhat aware of this problem, because of his own high achievements, if he vigorously cultivates the talents of generals in the army, what do you make King Qin think?

I'm afraid that the successor has not been cultivated yet, and he was first brought back by King Qin.

Therefore, vaguely reminding and subtly teaching is the only thing Bai Qi can do. And among the generals present, even Wang Yi may not be able to truly understand Bai Qi's meaning.

But that doesn't matter.

There's still time! At least that's what Bai Qi thinks.

After a slight mention of the generals present, Bai Qi's attention refocused on the map.

"Have you ever found out what the commanders of the two Zhao armies were?" Bai Qi asked the scout.
