Chapter 365: I don't want to attack, and there are not enough troops

The words fell, and a burst of discussion followed. This also completely confirmed Zhao Kuo's previous guess - this group of guys is really worried that they will lose!

No one can defeat Hu Ren, dear!

Hu Renye! O Hu people of the Warring States! In those days, there weren't even many iron tools, and it was in the era when there were no stirrups! You tell me how to lose this wave? Take the head and lose!

Although Zhao Kuo, who is familiar with history and comes from the 21st century, is full of confidence in this battle, he can't tell them this directly, otherwise wouldn't he belittle the efforts of the people of Daijun all along?

Oh, as soon as you come, add 10,000 people and level the Hu people, so what have we been doing all these years?

With such an idea, those who originally wanted to cooperate will hesitate, so there are some things that can only be done and not said. Some words are a curse, and what is said is a mistake, but you can do it, and even do it, and you will find that the more things go smoothly, the more people will follow you.

Without him, humanity!

Zhao Kuo was not annoyed by this, as long as their plan was implemented, they would soon find out that it was not so difficult to defeat or even completely annihilate the Hu people. Even now, the disagreement between the strong dragon and the earth snake is more conducive to the development of Zhao Kuo's plan.

Zhao Kuo here is calm, but General Chen is in a cold sweat over there, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Zhao Kuo's performance on the battlefield of Changping, although he has not experienced it, but he has always heard of it, whether it is the official channels of the imperial court, or the letters of his friends in the army, or from the channels of the people, without exception, they all tell him and Zhao Kuo's power.

It doesn't even need to be described, the mere fact that he can force Bai Qi to commit suicide is enough to show his ability.

As the Zhao army, although mainly in Daidi, General Chen also took turns to fight with the Qin army in his early years, and the strength of the Qin army, especially under the command of Bai Qi, was so strong that its combat power left a deep impression on the young General Chen. And the general in front of him was a group of "rabble" whose combat strength was not as good as that of the border army on their behalf, and he forcibly picked the Qin army.

Can it not be strong?!

But then again, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! In the Battle of Changping, no matter what, the Zhao army still has more than 400,000 people, no matter whether it is outflanking or what, there is finally someone in his hands, and he is not panicked!

But what is the situation now? Only 70,000 horses! If tens of thousands of troops come, they will definitely not have the slightest suspicion and hesitation, but the problem is that there are only 70,000 people, and the main force is still their own 60,000 troops, and it is difficult to retreat, let alone take the initiative to attack? Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg!

By the way, the stone, the stone has not yet made it clear to the general!

"Admiral." General Chen immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said, "In the past three years, although the Hu people have been repelled by the soldiers and civilians of our Dai County, the number of troops they have invaded has increased year by year. Last year, it reached a peak of nearly 120,000 people, and this year the Hu people have begun to assemble to explore the horses, and the number of enemies coming this year may increase to as much as 150,000!"

"If yes, if yes." General Chen hesitated slightly, but did not utter the last half of the sentence.

In fact, needless to say, Zhao Kuo also knew what he meant, 70,000 troops were not enough!

But is it really not enough?

General Chen's words fell, and several generals of Daijun looked at Zhao Kuo in unison, their eyes full of anticipation. They knew very well that as long as the general was willing, there would be no problem in bringing in another 20,000 or 30,000, or even 40,000 or 50,000 troops.

Even Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, who had been in a state of excitement, looked at each other, and then looked at Zhao Kuo. Obviously, the two of them are also under some pressure on the enemy's figure of 150,000. Of course, this does not mean that the two of them have no confidence in Zhao Kuo, but if they can fight a rich battle, who wants to fight with a buckle and a rope! Not to say that the certainty is greater, at least it is more calm.

Zhao Kuo looked at everyone's eyes, and his heart was also a little moved. For this 70,000-strong army, he has repeatedly deduced and calculated, and it should not be a problem to defeat the Hu people, but this is also quite an extreme force.

Limits mean risks and thrills, and more importantly, possible failures.

But this is obviously not Zhao Kuo's intention, the reason why he is stuck at the limit

Troops, too, are forced to do so.

At present, in addition to the 60,000 troops in Daibei, the main force of Zhao is left with the remaining 140,000 main forces in the Battle of Changping.

The autumn harvest is coming to an end, and even if most of the main army has returned to its position, the Zhao army will only have this 140,000 army left. 140,000, oh no, it should be 130,000, it sounds and looks like a lot, but Zhao Guo needs more troops!

Not to mention anything else, Shangdang County and Hanoi County directly divided more than 100,000 yuan, not only to defend the Qin army, Zhao Kuo's Hanoi County's Tuntian plan needs to be suppressed and guided by the army, and the weapons of Shangdang County involve many secrets, how dare Zhao Kuo entrust it to others?

100,000 troops, I am afraid that there are less than 80,000 troops that can really be used to defend places, of course, this does not mean that Zhao Kuo has relaxed the defense of Shangdang County and Hanoi County, and the 50,000 troops with other tasks are still in the military ranks, and they still maintain the training of the army.

But even if there are 20,000 troops behind it, and 80,000 troops are only enough on the front line, but just for the stationing of a few key points, the defense of the fortress will cost more than 60,000 troops, and the rear generals can't have one or two thousand fresh army reserves in their hands, right?

What is left with an army of 30,000?!

Zhao Kuo was also thinking about this 30,000 army, the 30,000 army pulled out of King Zhao's hands! That's right, these 30,000 troops have been pulled back to Handan, and they will prepare to be stationed in Handan for a long time to defend the capital.

It stands to reason that the capital of a country needs 30,000 horses to garrison, which is not much at all, and even if Zhao Kuo is the king, it will be strong and weak, and most of the elite of the whole army will be concentrated near Handan City, and in case of war, it will be transferred from Handan City.

Of course, today's King Zhao is not Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo will not give King Zhao any way to strengthen and weaken the branches. And now Zhao Guo can't be strong and weak, the reason is very simple - there are too many foreign cowards!

Shangdang and Hanoi face the Qin State, you have to strengthen your defenses, right?

Daibei has repeatedly invaded the border by Hu people, you have to have a wave of troops, right?

There is even the Northern Yan Kingdom that is temporarily invisible......

Although today's Zhao State is not as full of enemies as the Wei State, it is similar. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to implement the policy of strengthening cadres and weakening branches. Otherwise, the stem may not be strong, and the branch will be weak first, which is creating opportunities for the enemy.
