Looking down at his wound again, as well as the silk book in his hand, Zhao Kuo knew that the next hand-to-hand combat was not his strong point, and his body was not enough to support himself in the battle formation again.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun still has Lian Po and Tian Dan. Then what I have to do now is to arrange the defense of the northern road, and at the same time put the extra army on the northern road into the hands of Lian Po and General Tiandan as much as possible.

"Lian Po and General Tian Dan came to report: The Qin army has obtained the grain and grass of the Wei army, and there is no danger of food shortage in a short time, and now they are reorganizing their troops and horses and heading in the direction of Jiepai Ridge in the south." After having a full understanding of the current battlefield form, Zhao Kuo restrained the expression on his previous face and briefly gave a briefing on the current situation.

Sun Gu and other generals present were shocked when they heard this, obviously the generals were not stupid people, and naturally understood how the more than 100,000 Qin troops would have a huge impact on the entire battle after they got the grain and grass of the Wei army.

"No wonder the general's face has changed, the Qin army is really not to be underestimated, even in such a desperate situation, you can still find food and grass and a way to break the situation."

"Will Jiepai Ridge be able to stop the Qin army's offensive?"

"Will the Qin army turn around and attack the north?"

"The Qin army has grain and grass, isn't our siege in vain?"

For a time, there was a lot of discussion among the generals, and some people were even pessimistic about the outcome of the battle.

The performance of the generals naturally fell into the eyes of Zhao Kuo, and this is exactly what Zhao Kuo wanted. Otherwise, it is not enough to make the generals, who are already a little floating, realize the seriousness of the matter, and it is not enough to make them completely abandon the heart of contempt for the enemy. Of course, the generals should not be completely discouraged.

With a light cough, Zhao Kuo's blade-like gaze swept over the generals, and the camp tent instantly became silent.

"Don't panic, armies." Zhao Kuo continued: "General Lian Po expected the enemy first, and a fire had already burned the Wei army's grain and grass, but because of the sudden heavy rain, the Qin army was able to rescue part of the grain. However, according to General Lian Po's estimate, the grain obtained by the Qin army can be supplied to more than 100,000 Qin troops for five or six days."

"I see!"

"It's only been five or six days, but there's no need to be afraid of him."

"It's delusional to want to break through our army's defense line within five or six days."

"I guess I've got the news from the direction of Jiepai Ridge."

"With the steepness of the boundary pai ridge, five or six days is not a problem."

Soon, the knot between the generals' eyebrows gradually dissipated.

"At present, the Malay army has reported that the Qin army has gone south." Zhao Kuo ignored the joy of the generals, and then continued: "However, General Qin is white, and the best thing is the technique of striking the south and attacking the north. Our army must not be guarded against!"

"Yes!" The generals glanced at each other, obviously realizing that Zhao Kuo was going to make specific arrangements, and immediately bowed down to obey the order.

"In the past few days, our army has been a little slack on the north road, and this is all due to the generals." The expression on Zhao Kuo's face became more and more serious, and his deep voice turned his words even colder: "Fortunately, the Qin army has not yet arrived at our army's north road, however, after the Qin army gets food, there is more room for maneuver, and my north road must not be careless."

"After the return of the army, we should immediately gather the hearts of the army and straighten out the camp, and there must be no more words of slackness and celebration, and within one day, I will have a new look for the whole army!" Zhao Kuo continued to command in a cold voice, "Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Sun Gu and other generals present received orders one after another, and they didn't dare to gasp.

After a series of ups and downs, Zhao Kuo finally reversed the hearts of the generals, but it was inevitable, under hard work, the red on Zhao Kuo's chest became more and more bright red.

Xu Li and his soldiers on the side wanted to come forward to check several times, but they were forced back by Zhao Kuo's stern eyes.

Zhao Kuo knew that there were still two things that had to be arranged while he was still in spirit and could still hold on.

The blade-like eyes swept over the faces of the generals, and finally stopped on the face of Sun Gu, the first person on Zhao Kuo's left, and a deep voice sounded again: "Sun Gu!"

"The end will be." Sun Gu, who heard the order, immediately came out with his fists clenched.

"At present, the army of the North Road is roughly 20,000 elites under Xu Li's command and Ben Jun's servants

The 50,000 Qing troops brought out of the Qin army's encirclement." Zhao Kuo paused slightly, and after thinking about it, he finally made up his mind and said, "Is there a problem with giving you 10,000 elite and 30,000 young and strong troops to defend the mouth of the north bag?"

Sun Gu was a little stunned when he heard this, and even not only him, but also the generals present were quite surprised.

Without him, the general who everyone expected to guard the customs should be Xu Li.

Everyone knows that although the Qin army has the possibility of attacking the north from the south, the land of Shangdang is not the Central Plains, there are mountains and forests everywhere, even if there is an official road, it is tortuous and twisting and turning, although it is conducive to the hiding of the Qin army, but it will inevitably delay the time of the Qin army's march, for the Qin army, which is still short of food, time is life.

The risk is too great. Even if the Qin army really wanted to open the gap from the north, once its side was prepared, it would not be a problem to hold the few gaps in Zoumaling with tens of thousands of troops.

Therefore, it can be said that staying in the north is almost a ready-made achievement, and the rest of the people, without Zhao Kuo's explicit, everyone knows that they should go south, and going south means that there is a high probability that they will have to confront the Qin army head-on, and even they will be in an unfavorable offensive position.

It's easy to see which is better and which is inferior.

Of course, the master of the North Road that everyone speculated would be Xu Li and not others, not only because Xu Li was Zhao Kuo's general, as Zhao Kuo said, now there are 70,000 troops on the North Road, of which 50,000 are young and strong. And the combat strength of the young strong army is weak, which has been vividly reflected in the previous battles. Therefore, the main force guarding the mouth of the bag in the north is still the 20,000 elites under Xu Li.

It is precisely for this reason that other generals, including Sun Gu himself, have already tacitly agreed in their hearts that the master of the North Road will be Xu Li.

And Zhao Kuo did this, naturally there are his reasons, one of the important points is that Sun Gu did perform very well in the battle of Shangdang, especially in the later stage, when there were almost no troops to send, and he could only use the tactic of "pulling out broken teeth" to delay the Qin army's attack, Sun Gu was able to quickly understand the intention, adjust the troops, and then successfully delay the Qin army.

This undoubtedly left a good impression on Zhao Kuo - Sun Gu is really good at guarding!

Therefore, in this final battle, Zhao Kuo did not have any views in his heart, especially when he had delayed a lot of time when he opened the champagne in the half, whoever could better guard the North Road should be the main general of the North Road.

Obviously, Sun Gu, who is good at defending, is more suitable for staying on the north road and holding the north road than Xu Li, who is good at attacking.

That's all.
