Battle of Changping Chapter 226 Greed defeats a blind eye

"Since there are not enough troops, then send troops to come; If you don't have enough troops to defend it, you can't defend it anymore, so you just don't defend it." The scene in Zhao Kuo's mind gradually became clear, and he silently already had a plan in his heart: "That's right, where it is not enough, strengthen it, something that elementary school students understand, I and the generals have been entangled for so long."

Then he looked up at Lian Po and Tian Dan, his eyes burst out with a determined brilliance, and he muttered to himself, "Maybe we really want too much!" It's because we want too much that we think too much."

Lian Po and Tian Dan, who were still in front of the map, felt quite confused, but looking at Zhao Kuo's determined and confident appearance, the two seemed to have returned to their hometown, and it was almost the same scene, but the sand table was replaced by a slightly simple map, the same three people, the same scolding Fang Xuan, pointing out the country!

What a magnificent battle arrangement! Even if I think back today, this situation is still vivid, and even after experiencing the bitter battles and witnessing the battles develop step by step towards expectations, the two of them feel even more excited.

The two knew that their general already had the answer!

That's right, that's the answer! A standard answer, an answer that is completely different from what they thought and thought.

The excited Zhao Kuo didn't notice the admiration on the faces of the two, stepped forward and pulled the arms of the two, and slowly retreated to the position where he was standing just now.

Pointing to the map with one hand, he said excitedly, "Do you know what the map in front of you is?"

"Where?" Lian Po became more and more puzzled, obviously not guessing what Zhao Kuo wanted to say, but out of trust in Zhao Kuo, he immediately replied: "Where else can this be, naturally it is Shangdang County!"

Tian Dan also nodded puzzled!

"That's right." Zhao Kuo stroked his palms happily and sighed, saying that Zhao Kuo stroked a circle in the air with his hand, and continued: "It's the party! This is the Shangdang, a complete Shangdang."

Seeing that the two of them still didn't know why, Zhao Kuo immediately didn't sell Guan Zi and continued: "But our eyes have been focused on the hinterland of the Shangdang, specifically from Guangwolf City in the west, to the Danshui Barrier in the east, to Changping Pass in the north, and in this square of the border Pailing in the south. As everyone knows, Shangdang County is still big!"

Lian Po, who heard the words, seemed to think of something, but he couldn't grasp the line.

Zhao Kuo didn't continue to explain more, but asked Lian Po, "Old General Lian, if you give you 100,000 troops, may you be guaranteed to be invincible against the current Qin army?"

When Lian Po heard this, he carefully weighed it in his heart: the Qin army lost more than 10,000 troops after the first battle of Jiepailing, and now its strength is only about 110,000, and most of them are tired soldiers who have been fighting for a long time, coupled with the shortage of food, although he has lost 10,000 troops, he is expected to have no big problem.

Lian Po immediately replied, "If it is 100,000 elites, it can be defeated; If there are 90,000 elites, they can be attacked; If there are 80,000 elites, they can be stopped."

The meaning is very clear, if the 100,000 army is the elite of the Great Grain Mountain, let alone blocking it, it is not a big problem to defeat the Qin army, but if it is mixed with the Qingzhuang army, I am afraid that there will be mutual victories and defeats.

I have to say that Lian Po's understanding of himself and Qin Jun is still very calm and profound, neither arrogant nor exaggerated.

Zhao Kuo was obviously satisfied with such a reply.

But Zhao Kuo's problem doesn't stop there.

"Give the general 90,000 elites and 20,000 young and strong troops, and maybe they will be defeated?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.

Lian Po was shocked when he heard this, obviously he couldn't think of where Zhao Kuo was going to move this 110,000 army. But he immediately answered Zhao Kuo's question and said, "If there is such an army of 110,000, if it is not victorious, beg to behead a certain head."

"The general is serious!" Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

"But, General, the total strength of our army is only 190,000, where can there be 110,000 troops, among which there are as many as 90,000 elites, you must know, except for the 30,000 troops led by the Jiepai Leader, these 90,000 elites are almost all the remaining elites of our army." Tian Dan reminded on the side.

"I am afraid that I will ask my king for help, and my king will agree, in a short time

You can't gather so many elite troops, can you?" Lian Po also frowned deeply on the side.

"The other countries, it's too late in time!" Tian Dan continued to mend the knife again.

"Hahaha......" Zhao Kuo shook his head and laughed: "Why do you need reinforcements, I have as many as 190,000 troops in the party, including 140,000 elite troops, how can I not make up an army of 110,000 to come out?"

"But!" Lian Po hurriedly said: "The army still needs to be stationed in all directions, and the available strength is only 90,000 troops of the barrier, even if all of them are transferred to fight with the Qin army, it will only be 90,000 combat strength."

"Garrison?" Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "General Lian Po, why is our army stationed in the city of the Quartet?"

"Naturally, it is to trap the Qin army, prevent the Qin army of the Shangdang from escaping, and then completely annihilate this Qin army!" Lian Po did not hesitate to kill him.

"That's true." Zhao Kuo nodded unhurriedly, then shook his head and said, "Although the words are good, it is obvious that we want too much."

"Is it much?" Lian Po and Tian Dan looked at each other, obviously not thinking that they wanted too much.

"Back to square one." Zhao Kuo continued: "In the old pass, we have set the strategic purpose of our army in this battle."

"Occupy the strategic position of the party, the roof of the world, so as to gain the strategic initiative, preserve its own vitality as much as possible, and thus maintain many tactical possibilities." Tian Dan immediately replied.

"Not bad!" Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Now it seems that as long as our army does not make unforgivable mistakes, the land of Shangdang will inevitably fall into the hands of our army, and now our army still has 140,000 troops, although it has lost half of Thailand, it can be regarded as barely completing the strategic goal."

"Of course, as the campaign progresses, so does the goal of our army." Without waiting for the two to refute, Zhao Kuo said what the two wanted to say: "For example, now, after our army has achieved the initial goal of the strategy, it should have a higher goal - for example, to defeat the remnants of the Qin army, or to annihilate all the remnants of the Qin army, including Wu Anjun Bai Qi?"

"But obviously, we have all forgotten that in the past, we were cautious and walking on thin ice, and all we thought about was to keep the land of Shangdang, and we were already very happy to be able to leave an army of 100,000. Isn't it?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.

The two nodded, indeed, it seemed that as the war progressed, their appetite grew, but in the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, who could refuse?

The two still didn't quite understand what Zhao Kuo wanted to say.
