Battle of Changping Chapter 117 Three Days' Food Ten Dates
Lian Po, who understood where the enemy was, immediately rebuked angrily: "How can this be done? The king ordered to set off from Daliang, let alone two days to reach the Qin-Wei border, and it was two days to send scouts from the Qin-Wei border to arrive at the Changping battlefield. After ascertaining the situation, the king ordered the army to be issued, and it was at least ten days later, the army was slightly prepared, and in four or five days it went again, and the army was drawn, and the main force arrived at the Changping battlefield in two to three days. ”。
"This comes and goes, let alone 20 days, our army is short of food, only three days of food every day, even if the minimum ration is distributed, it will definitely not be delayed for five to six days, even if the horses are killed and eaten, at most one to two days will be delayed, between eight and ten days, if there are no reinforcements, our army will be annihilated, twenty days later, the Qin army has already annexed our army, let alone internal and external attacks!" Lian Po folded his fingers and carefully analyzed for Xin Lingjun.
Obviously, Lian Po wanted to provide Xin Lingjun with enough military information that was difficult for ordinary people to know and difficult to understand, so that Xin Lingjun could use this information to attack the target he wanted to attack.
Coincidentally, what Xin Lingjun wanted was also inadvertently leaked by Lian Po.
"Hey, fighting a man is a fighting man, making contributions on the battlefield is a good hand, and political mediation is not at all! In just a few words, I set out Zhao Jun's bottom line - it will be defeated in ten days. Xin Lingjun was secretly surprised in his heart.
That's right, Lian Po's information is too detailed, from the rations that Zhao Jun carried, to the maximum time he could last, Lian Po made a detailed explanation and analysis.
It's just that what Xin Lingjun didn't know was that in this seemingly clear message, Lian Po told a big lie about the rations.
The rations carried by the Zhao army were far more than three days' rations, not to mention the grain stored in each fortress, even if the troops with battalions as a unit carried military rations with the army, it was as much as 12 days. This is one of the reasons why the cavalry of the northern road complained about the lack of horses to transport grain.
If the grain in the barrier is added, the 300,000 troops of the Zhao army don't even need to eat too sparingly, and they can hold on for twenty or thirty days casually.
This is exactly Zhao Kuo's second move in addition to hiding soldiers in the village in Daliang Mountain - hiding grain in soldiers.
It's just that because Lian Po has always been "sincere", and the information just now was unintentionally set out, Xin Lingjun is naturally convinced of this.
And Xinlingjun, who had already set out Zhao Jun's old background, was a little unhappy. He has carefully prepared several plans for this, and is even ready to sing a double reed with King Wei! I didn't expect that a single move had not been finished yet, and Lian Po had come out so quickly, which made Xinlingjun feel a little punched on the cotton.
Of course, although the information is set out, the things on the face still have to be done continuously, and the topic must have a beginning and an end, otherwise it will be bad for Lian Po to see that he is talking - it will affect the friendship of Wei and Zhao!
Xin Lingjun immediately asked stupidly with some disbelief: "How can this be, the Zhao army is strong, it won't fall into collapse so quickly!" ”
As soon as Xin Lingjun's knowingly asked words came out, Lian Podang even understood Xin Lingjun's intentions.
You are a son, or a famous son of the Seven Kingdoms, you will be so ignorant of military affairs, even if you don't understand it as thoroughly as a general, you will not learn such a simple truth as "soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved".
The only explanation is that Xin Lingjun is deliberately pretending to be stupid and knowingly asking. And what Xin Lingjun knowingly asked must be what he is most concerned about - when will Zhao Jun collapse?
The previous discussion was to find out how long his army could hold out, so that he could intervene in the battlefield when his army was almost out of strength, so as to obtain the greatest benefit - Qin and Zhao were weak to each other.
understood Xin Lingjun's thoughts, and Lian Po's response was more calm, without him, the lies had already been mixed with the truth.
So, Lian Po made a plan and patiently popularized the experience of the generals: "Xinlingjun doesn't know, food is the courage of soldiers, there is a way to have food in your hands and not panic in your heart, after the grain and grass are cut off, not only the strength is not continued, but also the morale is low, and the military order is not smooth!" People are very hungry, they can do everything, and if one is not good, it will be a disaster for the camp! ”
Of course, Xinlingjun knew the truth that "the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved", otherwise it would be impossible to compile the military book "Wei Gongzi" in the real history, and even led the army of the six countries to leap into Hangu Pass.
Knowing that he knew, Xinlingjun still pretended to be teachable, and even replied in a hurry: "The general's words are reasonable, but it is the fault of this gentleman, I don't know the urgency of the military affairs, and I am not hungry for human nature." This gentleman will enter the palace and ask my king to send troops as soon as possible no matter what. ”
Saying that, Xinlingjun stood up, then looked at Lian Po with a sincere face, and said with a slight salute: "Please also ask General Lian Po to accompany me into the palace to see the driver, so as to persuade my king." ”
If he hadn't known that Xin Lingjun was deliberately playing tricks on himself, looking at Xin Lingjun's sincere eyes and polite behavior, Lian Po was really fooled by him.
It's just that when it comes to acting, Lian Po is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.
"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!" Lian Po also responded positively to Xin Lingjun with a sincere face.
After that, the two saluted each other, and then shared a carriage and slowly came to the palace gate.
After an inspection, Lian Po was taken to a side hall a little farther away, waiting for the summons of the King of Wei.
As for Xinlingjun, he was taken straight to the main hall, and in the main hall, the king of Wei and several important ministers, including Longyangjun, were already waiting here, although Xinlingjun arrived much later than expected, but no one wanted to leave half a step, after all, no one wanted to be absent from every important node of the re-emergence of Wei.
Of course, what is more important is the rise of countless interests between.
"Ten days! Ten days ......"
It's still that the people haven't arrived, and the sound has come first;
is still two or three steps fast, urgently begging for water to drink;
It's still pouring the pot, but this pot of tea, well, it seems to be Long Yangjun's......
Xin Lingjun played a very successful scene in front of Lian Po, and moved to the palace of King Wei again, fortunately, Long Yangjun did not have the habit of blowing in his mouth.
After a pot of water, Xin Lingjun looked around, looking at everyone's searching and eager eyes, Xin Lingjun knew that his performance had succeeded again.
His eyes slowly focused on King Wei, and without waiting for King Wei to ask, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Your Majesty has learned from General Lian Po that the Zhao army only carries three days' worth of food!" ”
"Three days, didn't you just say ten days?" An important minister didn't wait for Xin Lingjun to finish speaking, and then opened his mouth to question.
Xin Lingjun glanced at this important minister fiercely, and dared to snatch Xin Lingjun's words, it is estimated that soon this important minister will become lighter, and then gradually fade away without a trace!
Rong Benjun said slowly......"
