Chapter 366: Plans to Ask for Reinforcements
"Since everyone thinks there are not enough troops, why don't I count them?" Zhao Kuo already had a bold idea in his heart, if he could use this to transfer the 30,000 troops in Handan City, no, even if it was reduced by one to twenty thousand, it would be of great help to what might happen next.
Even if he didn't come to reinforcements in the end, he didn't do any damage to himself, and he originally planned to use these 70,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the Hu people. Even if there are no reinforcements after all, the relationship between the Daibei army and Handan can be separated again, why not?
On the contrary, if you refuse with all your might, you will appear to be a little conceited and domineering, and you will not listen to the advice of others.
Of course, this is not entirely without its problems! The most crucial of these is that troops cannot be transferred from the Shangdang and Hanoi fronts. It is not only Zhao Kuo's base, but also the basic plate of Zhao State, Shangdang Hanoi does not collapse, no matter how difficult the situation is, Zhao Kuo has a way to reverse it. But if the troops are drawn from the upper party, it will be a little more than worth the loss.
This question is difficult to say, but it is not difficult to say. With a letter written by himself, coupled with the prestige of General Lian Po and the right of Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun to speak in the court, it must not be a big problem to block this order to transfer troops.
Zhao Kuo, who already had a plan in mind, immediately looked at General Chen and asked quietly, "With General Chen's intentions, how many troops do you need to be sure of a decisive battle with the 150,000-strong army of the Hu people?"
Hearing Zhao Kuo's question, the generals in Daibei all breathed a sigh of relief - it's good to talk about it, no matter how much! What I am most afraid of is that this general, with the victory of Changping, is arrogant and arrogant, and he can't listen to anything, then the problem and trouble will be big!
General Chen, who was on the side, obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and after a little thought, he replied: "General: If there are 10,000 elite reinforcements, it may be possible to turn defense into attack, and if there are 20,000 elite reinforcements, the chance of victory can be increased by 20%; If there are 30,000 reinforcements to help, the chances of victory will increase."
When Zhao Kuo heard this, he probably understood the assessment of General Chen and the generals of Daibei on the combat strength of the enemy and us.
An elite Zhao army can reach about two Hu people, so when the army of 70,000 troops, it can only hold on, and when the strength reaches 80,000, it will fight with the Hu army of 150,000. Of course, as the number of troops continues to increase, the odds of victory will continue to increase, but the further you go, the more obvious the marginal effect becomes.
It is obviously impossible to be satisfied with 30,000 horses from King Zhao, but the so-called method is from the top and the middle, if it can ......
Pressing down on the stupid thoughts in his heart a little, Zhao Kuo knew that any conspiracy and trickery would eventually return to the right path, win this battle, completely eradicate the threat from the northwest, and liberate the Daibei army, which is what Zhao Kuo needs to do now.
Zhao Kuo immediately nodded seriously, but he didn't immediately express his position when he looked at the map, as if he was considering the possibility of transferring troops and dispatching generals, and seemed to be assessing the risk of battle.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the general's final decision.
After a long time, Zhao Kuo slowly turned his head, met everyone's eager eyes, and slowly spoke: "On the issue of troops, General Chen, you draw up a charter to explain it in detail, and after the general inspects the defense line, after determining the shortage of troops, he will report it to the king."
"Yes!" General Chen Xun immediately agreed.
Everyone was also relieved when they heard this, and even the two generals, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi, who wanted to fight, also showed a little joy on their faces. After all, there are many soldiers, and the general will refuse?
It's just that before they could be happy, Zhao Kuo's words made everyone nervous again.
"Yes." Zhao Kuo glanced at the crowd again, and continued: "Presumably everyone also knows that in the Battle of Changping, although our army won, it was also a tragic victory, with more than 400,000 troops left and only 140,000, Shangdang County and Hanoi County are close to the Qin State, and their threat is by no means under the Hu people, so the soldiers of the two counties must not be moved, except for the soldiers of the two counties, the number of troops that can be mobilized now is only about 30,000 troops, but there are still troops to garrison Handan."
"Therefore." Zhao Kuo paused slightly, his tone was even more cold and resolute, and said, "If there are reinforcements in this battle, it will naturally be the best; Even if there were no reinforcements, for the sake of the people of the north, 70,000 or 80,000 people, this battle would have to be fought. If when I deliver the order, someone does not obey the order or disobeys the law
? Ben will, will not be tolerated! Got it?!"
"Yes!" The generals who heard the words suddenly received the order.
......
With the departure of the generals, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi naturally fell behind.
For these two people, Zhao Kuo has obviously already thought about how to arrange it, and Zhao Kuo doesn't want to experience the situation where there is no one available in Handan City.
"Sun Gu." The general of Daijun had already left, and Zhao Kuo was not polite to this general who followed him to his death, and immediately taught him a lesson: "What's the matter, after a battle of Changping, the tail was cocked? Don't take so many seniors in your eyes? In just a few days, it has made water and fire incompatible, if Ben will come a few days later, will I have a fire fight within Zhao Kingdom first?"
Zhao Kuo's words were already a little heavy, and although Sun Gu was apprehensive when he heard this, his heart that had been hanging since returning from outside the city finally let go a little. The general will still scold himself like this, which means that he is treating himself as a confidant, although his words are heavy, but he is reminding himself. Sun Gu clenched his fists and bowed his head and said, "The last general will know his mistake."
"Hmph." Zhao Kuo saw that he had understood what he meant, and he no longer hammered it, and turned to look at Zhou Qi: "You and Sun Gu are a few days older, and you are from the army of the land, you should do a good job of the two sides and reconcile the relationship between them, how can you sit back and watch the tension between the two sides?"
Zhou Qi beside him was really a little wronged, if he hadn't been circling in it, I am afraid that the scene at this moment would be ten times more ugly, but the matter was not done well, and no matter how much explanation was meaningless, he immediately hugged his fists and replied: "The general forgives the sin, and the general will know his mistakes"
Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, and gave the two of them a hard shot, of course, not only for the conflict with the Daidi army, but also to let them come out of the victorious state of the Battle of Changping, obviously the two of them did a good job of this. Since it's good, it's natural to give some sweetness. One piece and one relaxation is the way to employ people. Zhao Kuo then continued his performance.
"Get up." Zhao Kuo said calmly.
Immediately, Zhao Kuofu walked in front of Yutu again, turned his back to the two of them, and asked, "How is the training of the 3,000 cavalry?" Did Zhao Wei's iron armor ever send it? Use?"
"General: The weight-bearing training has been completed, and the selected men and horses are ready to march under heavy loads." Zhou Qi, who was in charge of cavalry training on the side, immediately replied: "The iron armor sample sent by General Zhao has been used in actual combat, but it is just ......."
