The Battle of Changping Chapter 225 Those who are generals need to work hard
It's just that Xu Li, as a party concerned, doesn't have so many ideas.
In fact, before deciding to conceal Zhao Kuo's instructions, he had already made mental preparations, just beating the military stick, Xu Li was already very happy - it was worth it to exchange his rough and thick body for the general's health.
So, soon, Lian Po and General Tian Dan came to the Chinese army tent where Zhao Kuo was, and Xu Li, who had completed the task, immediately went to the military justice office to receive a stick.
In the big tent, Zhao Kuo was already dressed and was standing in front of the map, his fingers constantly gesturing, obviously planning for the next battle.
If it's good, don't bother to boil it!
Lian Po and Tian Dan glanced at each other again, and their eyes were full of helplessness.
The moment they saw Zhao Kuo, the two of them already knew that the strategy of "reporting good news but not bad news" set by the two of them in eye contact just now could not be implemented at all - on the originally clean map, the current situation had been clearly copied, and small red and black dots were scattered among them, obviously the general who had just woken up took advantage of the gap between himself and others to draw it personally.
With this picture, Zhao Jun's troubles are almost self-evident, and obviously, the frowning general has already discovered the key and summoned himself to come, probably to discuss the matter.
In desperation, the two of them could only see the move.
"I've seen the Admiral!" Lowering the curtain, the two stepped forward quickly, clasped their fists in unison, and bowed in greeting.
Hearing the movement behind him, Zhao Kuo immediately turned around, picked up the two people in front of him with both hands, and said with a smile: "Hurry up, please get up, it should be the general who will see the ceremony."
Helping the two of them up, Zhao Kuo immediately bowed slightly and said, "Last night, I was seriously injured and fell asleep, thanks to the two generals who were in charge of the overall situation, there was no chaos, thank you two here."
"Where's the General?" Lian Po and Tian Dan were willing to accept Zhao Kuo's worship, and immediately supported Zhao Kuo and saluted back: "It's all our incompetence that made the general bloody and almost ......."
Seeing that the two old generals were feeling heavier and heavier the more they talked, and they were almost about to cry, Zhao Kuo hurriedly interrupted: "Two old generals, let's not be so polite! It's all over, and we still have to look forward!"
Zhao Kuo smiled and took the hands of the two of them to Yutu, and said, "Let's talk about what our army should do next, right? Now the situation of our army, presumably the old general knows better than the boy, although he has the advantage, it is difficult to do all the work, can the two old generals have a plan to teach me?"
The two of them who heard the words sighed lightly in their hearts, in the end, they really still have to work hard for the general!
Whether it's Lian Po or Tian Dan, I want to say: Don't worry, general, we have a plan!
It's a pity that in the face of such a situation, no one is completely sure, and once things are not harmonious, all the games are lost, neither Lian Po nor Tian Dan dare to make a decision easily, and Zhao Kuo's words have been asked, no matter how hard work, there is no way to avoid it!
Immediately, Lian Po started and slowly elaborated on the ideas, strategies and controversies of the two to Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo, who heard the words, also fell into contemplation when he looked at Yutu. Obviously, although Zhao Kuo has prepared for the plan of the two, he still feels quite tricky, and it is even more difficult to choose for a while.
In the final analysis, there are still not enough troops!
Look at the Qin State, which was surrounded by more than 100,000 people, and was able to bring out more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops to relieve the siege while talking. On the other hand, what about your own side? It is said that it now has an advantage, even if the 400,000 troops in history are under siege, the Zhao court has not been able to send effective reinforcements in time to rescue.
It was easy to scrape together a reinforcement of 20,000 or 30,000 people, and as soon as he saw that the old pass was captured, he immediately turned his horse around and went back to Handan, without even a tentative attack.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the fundamental national strength of Qin and Zhao.
It's just that compared with the two, is the defeat of Zhao in history really caused by just one Zhao Kuo?
Back to the current battlefield, in fact, the best and safest way is to ask King Zhao for reinforcements.
Compared with the thousand-mile rush of Qin's reinforcements, no matter what
Whether it was from the dynasty to the south through the Yan and the pass, or from Handan through the old pass, the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements was more than half of the journey shorter than that of the Qin army.
It can be said that as long as King Zhao is willing, Zhao's reinforcements will definitely be able to reach the Shangdang battlefield before Qin's reinforcements.
And Zhao Kuo doesn't need many reinforcements, thirty or twenty thousand is enough.
As long as there are 30,000 or 20,000 troops, even if the troops in Zhao Kuo's hands are excluded, the troops in Zhao Kuo's hands can almost be equivalent to the remaining strength of the Qin army.
At that time, if the Qin army wants to attack from both sides, I am afraid it will be unlikely.
It's a pity that it is almost impossible to get King Zhao to increase his troops. Not to mention whether King Zhao still has a reserve army in his hands, even if there is, with the efficiency of the Zhao court, I am afraid that it will be dragged day after day. The reason why the battle of Shangdang was so difficult was not unrelated to the slow dispatch of troops by the Zhao army.
Therefore, we still have to think of our own methods, based on the existing troops, and achieve greater results!
Zhao Kuo paced, sighing in his heart: Can you only follow what Lian Po or Tian Dan said, either take a gamble or miss a great opportunity?
To tell the truth, at this point, even if the battle of Shangdang stops, it is not a big problem to let go of the remnants of the hundreds of thousands of Qin State.
The two strategic goals set at the beginning have been achieved, and even greatly weakened the national and military strength of his two neighbors, Han Zhiguo and Wei, and at the same time once again shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Qin army, which can be said to be enough for any general.
As for whether the Qin army is completely annihilated or gently let go after that, it really doesn't matter too much.
But whether it is Zhao Kuo, Lian Po, or Tian Dan, what he attaches the most importance to is not the 100,000 Qin army, and what makes the three of them unable to give up is nothing else, exactly: Bai Qi!
Known as human slaughter, white rise!
It can be said that one person can reach 100,000 troops.
It's easy to trap the Qin army, but it's hard to get sleepy!
It can be said that trapping Bai Qi this time is a godsend, and it is almost impossible to trap Bai Qi again. Therefore, no one is willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity easily.
But!
Zhao Kuo sighed softly, his eyes constantly roaming over the map, trying to find a break point that could solve this dilemma.
Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in Zhao Kuo's mind.
"Bell, bell", Zhao Kuo took three steps back, looking at the whole territory of the map from a farther perspective, and a plan was quietly formed in Zhao Kuo's mind!
