"General!"

In front of the map, Chen Xun stood still, pointed to the mountains and rivers of that Daizhou, and talked eloquently. Obviously, it is also a good hand in the military. On the opposite side of him, Zhao Kuo, Sun Gu, Zhou Qi and several generals from Daijun were standing solemnly. Obviously, not all people who receive such a high-level military conference can participate.

"In the battle of the party a few days ago, the army of our land was almost exhausted, and it has not been able to return to the establishment so far." General Chen continued, "Although there has been a slight replenishment in the past three years, due to the repeated attacks of the Hu people, the loss of troops is also quite huge, and the army replenished each year can barely balance the consumption. At present, there are still 60,000 horses in the army of our Dai County. Among them were 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 foot soldiers."

"There were 40,000 foot soldiers, most of whom were deployed on the front line of Imacheng, Sangancheng and Dangcheng, mainly adopting the strategy of focusing on the front and the rear lightly, and deploying troops, striving to block the Hu people from Dai County." Chen Xun's finger tapped on the map, and a defense line running from east to west for dozens of miles was already clearly visible.

Looking at this defensive line like the Great Wall, Zhao Kuo was noncommittal. It's just that, in his heart, Zhao Kuo always thinks that there are only thousands of miles to be thieves, how can there be thousands of miles to prevent thieves, and now the combat power of the Hu people is weak, and the Zhao army can barely hold on to several cities as the fulcrum, once the Hu people's combat power is improved, it is difficult for the Zhao army to hold such a long defensive line.

"Offense is the best defense." This is what Zhao Kuo has always believed. Of course, the current situation does not seem to be suitable for your own attack. But the solutions are all thought up, no.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo did not say anything, General Chen immediately continued to introduce: "The cavalry of 20,000 is the main combat force of our army, mainly deployed near Daicheng, where the distance from the three cities in front is almost the same, no matter where there is a slight difference, with the speed of the cavalry, you can reach the front line in a day and night to deal with the battle ahead. Of course, because of the location of the county, there are still 3,000 foot guards in the city."

"In addition, in Pingshu City, the gateway to Handan County, there are still 2,000 foot soldiers, which are needed from time to time. The rest of the garrison in the city is not a field army, and its total number is not more than two thousand, so it is not in the ranks." With that, General Chen stood aside, waiting for Zhao Kuo's inquiry.

"What is the invasion route of the Hu people?" Zhao Kuo really began to ask.

"General Yu: The Hu people are cunning, after three years of attack and defense, they have generally figured out the situation of our army's defense." General Chen was a little embarrassed and said, "Since last year, the Hu people have stopped aiming at attacking our main cities, but have instead targeted small towns. Several times he wanted to pass through the gap between the three towns in the north of me and insert it into the interior of my Dai County, so our army probed the horse to find it in time, and lit the wolf smoke, and the cavalry of the Dai City came out, which drove the Hu people away. This year, it is expected that the Hu people will repeat their old tricks."

After three years of fighting, the opponent has figured out the routine, which can't be completely blamed on General Chen, one is destined to be limited to the lack of troops, and the other is that the barren land of the Daijun is destined to be defensible There are only a few, and there is no way to be fooled out by the Hu people.

"Is there a way to deal with it?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.

"In addition to stepping up patrols and horses, our army has also built fortifications at several major passes, and at the same time built simple forts along several roads, not hoping to be able to hold back the Hu people, but only to report the traces of the Hu people in time." General Chen replied immediately.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo also nodded with satisfaction, obviously this approach is already the best way in today's situation. And being able to perceive one's own shortcomings and try their best to improve one's shortcomings in time is already a trait that only a strong army has. Even Zhao Kuo couldn't ask them more.

"Maybe you caught the main force of the Hu people?" Zhao Kuo then asked.

Obviously, the defense of Daijun's army has done well enough, and even Zhao Kuo will not be able to make other breakthroughs. But he didn't come to fight a defensive war, he came to clear his backyard and prepare for the final battle against the Central Plains.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the scene fell into a strange atmosphere.

Weird is weird There were two completely different reactions at the scene, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi from the party were all gearing up and eager to try, and the generals of Daijun explained like mourning, quite a sense of helplessness.

Sun Gu and Zhou Qi's reactions were not difficult to understand, and the reactions of the people in Daijun really made Zhao Kuo feel a little

Accident, after all, if you can wipe out the Hu people, it will be a great thing for all the soldiers of Daijun! Especially a few generals, they can unload their burdens and go back to Handan to recuperate, how can it be better than eating wind and drinking sand here in Daijun, right?

You must know that at this time, Zhao Guo did not have such a thing as self-respect, without him, the military power was very scattered. Even General Chen was only a temporary acting general, and in fact, the army he commanded was only more than 15,000 cavalry in Daicheng.

At the same time, the barrenness of the land, coupled with the blood drawing of the Battle of Changping, on the one hand, the Hu people who kept coming, on the other hand, the dwindling troops, grain and grass, let alone drink the blood of the soldiers, if they want to maintain their combat strength, not to be taken advantage of by the Hu people, and not to destroy their families to relieve difficulties.

In this case, Zhao Kuo wants to solve this problem in one fell swoop, and everyone present should be eager!?

Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Chen Xun in puzzlement, as the leader of the generals of the Daijun Dynasty, General Chen could only speak out when he saw this: "General Yushang: When the army of the era was strong, it also fought a decisive battle with the Hu people and suffered heavy losses, but after all, the grassland is vast, if he is determined to escape, it will be difficult for our army to pursue."

Zhao Kuo heard this, but did not answer, which is obviously a pretext. It is true that the grassland is difficult to pursue, but as long as the Hu people can be severely injured once, even if they cannot be completely annihilated, they can be exchanged for three or five years of peace on the border, and it should be a great temptation for everyone. When everyone heard the meaning of taking the initiative in their tone, shouldn't it be such a reaction?

Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't answer, General Chen knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he simply asked, "Dare to ask the general, will there be a large army in the imperial court in the future?"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo knew what this group of guys were worried about - he was afraid that he would lose! And looking at Sun Gu's disdainful expression, Zhao Kuo finally knew the reason why the two people couldn't get together: one wanted to passively guard, and the other wanted to take the initiative, so it was strange that they could coexist peacefully!

Zhao Kuo is also helpless! Do you look like someone who will lose so easily? Isn't the example of the Battle of Changping enough?

"Nope!" Zhao Kuo replied simply and calmly: "The 60,000 Dai Jun plus the 10,000 Shangdang Army, plus the 400 personal soldiers brought by Benjun, are the whole of this battle."
