Chapter 576 Delaying the Qin State is victory
"If you want to fight at this time, please forgive the general and the Zhao army under his command, and you can't accompany you." Lian Po, who had not spoken, like an outsider, suddenly spoke.
This short sentence directly made the calculations of the previous few people come to naught.
Obviously, no matter which country's soldiers and horses are missing, the most indispensable thing is the soldiers and horses of Zhao State. Not only because Zhao Guo is carrying a full 80,000 soldiers and horses, but more importantly, everyone knows that the only one who can fight with the Qin army may be the Zhao army.
If the Zhao army is not involved, the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces will be reduced by half, to say the least. How can this be fought?
Even if the Qin army's combat strength is in danger now, it is impossible to drop to less than half of the point, and if the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty have such combat strength and can force the Qin army to such a situation, they will not be trapped in Zhou Wangji.
Listening to Lian Po's words, both Chu and Han Zhiguo showed an incredible expression, while Xin Lingjun's expression was slightly angry.
Obviously, as the initiator of the anti-Qin battle, no one expected that the Zhao army represented by Lian Po would retreat at this time.
"General Lian Po." The three shouted eagerly almost at the same time.
Lian Po was unmoved, waved his hand lightly, and said: "I have confronted the Qin army in Danshui for three years, and I know how strong its resilience is. It is said that it is not enough to accumulate tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, even if our hundreds of thousands of troops of Dazhao fight fiercely, they cannot lose their combat power in the slightest. Attacking rashly will only increase casualties. β
"General, you were the fastest to attack just now." The general of the Chu State refused to give up when he heard this, and immediately asked.
"I just attacked, one for the vanguard of 20,000 troops, and the other for the morale of our army, so I had to attack. Now the attack, not to mention, there is no chance of winning, let alone benefit, of course, it should not be attacked. Faced with such a naΓ―ve question, Lian Po's answer hardly requires thinking.
"This." And Lian Po's answer made the general of Chu State speechless again.
For a while, there was silence in the big tent of the Chinese army.
It's just that silence is different from silence.
The silence of the generals of Han and Chu was confused and did not know how to refute, while the silence of Xinlingjun was obviously a trace of helplessness.
Of course, Xin Lingjun knew that what Lian Po said was right, but he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf!
If you want to fight with the Qin army, if you don't have some way, even if you can win, you will probably have to spend a lot of time and lose a lot of troops.
Xin Lingjun really regretted that he didn't communicate with General Lian Po in advance. Xinlingjun originally thought that his plan should not be able to hide from General Lian Po, and in the face of a tactic that might cause a heavy blow to the Qin army, General Lian Po had no reason to refuse.
Could it be that he overestimated General Lian Po? I couldn't help but believe that Lingjun was a little suspicious of his judgment.
In fact, whether it is his agitation method or his careful thinking to reap the benefits of the fisherman, where will he escape the eyes of General Lian Po, who has experienced a hundred battles.
It can be said that these little tricks are all left over from Lian Po's play.
Of course, Lian Po also knew that such a tactical method of operation could indeed inflict heavy losses on the Qin army.
And if he already knows Xinlingjun's intentions, he can let the soldiers of Han and Chu stand up to the thunder, so regardless of victory or defeat, Lian Po can also be a fisherman, and the Zhao army under his command can also be preserved to the greatest extent.
After all, Zhao's army has always maintained its independence, and even Xinlingjun can't move it, let alone the generals of Han and Chu.
It can be said that in Xinlingjun's strategy, the interests of Zhao may not be as great as that of Wei, but they will never suffer.
It's just a pity that although Shengqin is Zhao Guo's appeal, a quick victory has never been the result Zhao Guo wants.
At present, Zhao's country is thriving, and even the northern grassland has been included in the territory of Zhao, as long as there is more than a year to run-in, Zhao's national strength and military strength will be qualitatively improved.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo has made it clear in his letter: victory is not Zhao's first demand, and delaying the main force of Qin in the quagmire of Zhou Wangji is what Zhao wants most. Of course, if the Qin army can be forced to continuously transfer troops and materials to reinforce Zhou Wangji's subordinates, it will naturally be the thing that Zhao is most willing to see.
In other words, what Zhao Kuo wanted was to use an army of 80,000 to drag out the Qin army, attract the attention of the Qin State, and buy time for his own development.
This may also be another kind of "exchanging space for time".
In the face of Xinlingjun's tactics now, whether he can win or not is not said for the time being, even if he wins, it is not what Zhao Guo wants. m.
If this battle is won quickly, unless the Qin army suffers a devastating blow, with the strong temperament of the Qin state, I am afraid that it will not be able to endure the beginning of the spring of the next year, and it will raise troops again.
If the Qin army raises troops again, will the Qin army continue to attack the Zhou Wangji region, which has been divided by several countries, and completely turn against almost all the Central Plains countries, or will it directly attack the Zhao state?
No one knows.
Therefore, no matter what Xinling Jun's chances of winning were, Lian Po had no need to take a risk that was destined to be unfavorable to Zhao Guo.
Of course, it was not easy to have a strategy to break the enemy, and it was still a method that was extremely beneficial to the Wei State, seeing that Han and Chu, the two most difficult grievances, had already agreed, but they were stabbed in the back by the equally favorable Zhao State, Xin Lingjun could not agree to it anyway.
The problem is that General Lian Po's rebuttal is well-founded, and it really can't be refuted.
Then don't refute it! When Xinlingjun's mind flipped, a solution had already risen in his heart.
"General Lian Po." Xin Lingjun immediately adjusted his attitude and asked patiently: "If this plan fails, I don't know if the general can defeat Qin?" β
Since you say my plan doesn't work, you have to come up with a feasible plan.
Obviously, of course, Xin Lingjun didn't really want General Lian Po's method of breaking the enemy.
In fact, no matter what amazing method General Lian Po said, Xin Lingjun was sure to belittle it in his own words, and the final conclusion was: It's not as fast as today.
Of course, if General Lian Po doesn't have a good plan in mind, so much the better!
You can't do anything, so what else is there to say, either implement my method, or let's break up.
It's a pity that Xin Lingjun once again underestimated General Lian Po's Taoism. To be precise, Xin Lingjun somewhat underestimated Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
Faced with Xinlingjun's question, Lian Po obviously had a plan, and then shook his head slightly and said: "If you want to defeat Qin, there is really no good way for this general for a while." β
Hearing this, Xin Lingjun's eyes lit up in an instant, and even the generals of Han and Chu were overjoyed. Obviously, they have also thought of Xinlingjun's intentions - there is no way, and if there is a way, there is a way.
Xin Lingjun just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lian Po.
"Still." Lian Po smiled slightly, looked at the few people present, and continued: "In the future, my king is entrusted with the strategy of defeating Qin with a trick. β
As he spoke, Lian Po took out a bag from his chest.
Looking at this small bag woven of splendor, the people present looked at each other. I didn't expect that Lian Po would break the situation like this - he actually brought out King Zhao.
It's like two college students arguing about a normally distributed math problem, and you call Gauss in a fit of rage. How else to play?
Questioning Gauss? Are you sure you're going to question the greatest mathematician in the world to date? Or is it when arguing about normal distribution?
Similarly, questioning King Zhao? Do you want to question the only one who has been defeated by the Qin State so far and is still alive, and is recognized by all the countries as a god of war? Or in the battle against the Qin army?
Looking at the bag in Lian Po's hand, Xin Lingjun actually knew in his heart that he had already lost - it turned out that what he was thinking had already been expected.
It's just that whether it is the usual pride, or out of consideration for defeating Qin, Xinlingjun still mustered up the last courage and said to Lian Po: "I would like to hear it in detail." β
Lian Po was also direct, and he didn't talk nonsense when he heard the words, so he opened the bag in front of everyone, and a silk book covered with fire paint immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Immediately, the fire paint was slowly torn off, and a simple silk book was completely displayed in Lian Po's hands.
The silk book is very short, only six words.
"Tie the knot, fight in a daze."
No matter what everyone present said, they were also generals of various countries, and they naturally understood Zhao Kuo's six words.
To put it simply, it is to fight with the Qin army, and use the national strength of the four countries to consume the Qin army to the point that it has to start a decisive battle, so as to force the Qin army to attack its well-defended hard village.
The coalition army is already strong, and if it takes the initiative to attack or attack, it will not necessarily be the opponent of the fierce Qin army, but if it is defensive, it can maximize the advantage of troops.
This is not a very clever method, to put it bluntly, it is to use strength to crush.
But it's the safest and most reliable way to do it, and it's a good way for anyone to say what's wrong.
In fact, this kind of strategy is not Zhao Kuo's first idea, and the one who likes to use such a method the most is Qin State.
In the Battle of Changping, against Zhao and Lian Po, Qin used this method, spending three years to exhaust and waste Zhao, so that Zhao had to use young generals who were better at attacking;
In history, when Wang Jian destroyed Chu, in the face of Xiang Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops, he still used this method.
Drag, don't go and don't fight.
Drag until you run out of food and grass, drag until your army is disheartened, drag until you have to withdraw, and then fight to the death with you who are weak.
And now, Zhao Kuo's strategy can be regarded as returning the favor to the other in his own way.
Of course, this strategy looks good, but in practice, it is also an astronomical amount of loss for itself.
Unless we are in an absolutely advantageous situation, it is very likely that the implementation of such a strategy will be a lose-lose situation.
It's just that even if it is a lose-lose, Zhao Guo is completely acceptable. What's more, the power of the four countries, even if the land of Qin is vast and rich, even if the countries will not do their best, it is enough for Qin to drink a pot.
This is also the most suitable method for Zhao Kuo's "dragging" decision.
Some people died, but not completely......
