Chapter 571: Han Jun was trapped and Zhao Jun came out
"Xinling-kun, please forgive your sins. The last general must immediately set out with his army."
When the news reached the camp, the Big Four naturally got together again at the first time.
It's just that without waiting for the general of Han Zhiguo to speak, General Lian Po of Zhao State did get up first and saluted Xinlingjun with a fist.
"General Lian Po?"
"Old General?"
Shinling-kun and the general of Han Zhiguo exclaimed almost at the same time.
Although both of them exclaimed, it was obvious that the tone and attitude of the two were completely different.
Xin Lingjun knew that in the field against the Qin army, his side had no possibility of winning at all, and now the Qin army had ambushed the Han army, not to mention that there was no time to rescue, even if it was still too late.
However, just pulling the army out like this, and fighting with the main force of the Qin army in the wilderness, I am afraid that the loss of troops will not be more than 10,000 people, and even with the ability of the Qin army, it is not impossible to set a trap waiting for him.
If this is the case, it is not impossible that this battle will become a decisive battle. But it is clear that no one in the coalition is ready.
In other words, the deal is clearly at a loss.
He didn't believe that General Lian Po, who was a veteran of the battlefield, would not know this truth.
However, General Lian Po actually told him that he was going to send troops, which really made Xinlingjun puzzled.
As for the general of Han Zhiguo, it is much simpler.
Needless to say, seeing that his tens of thousands of troops were under siege, the general of Han Zhiguo naturally hoped that the army would go out of the camp to save him.
Even if he knew that if the army went out to the camp to rescue, the actual losses would be greater, and even tens of thousands of troops would not be able to stop. But even if it is a loss of tens of thousands, it is shared by the four countries, and the loss of 10,000 is all firmly in the hands of Han Zhiguo.
I was going to strive for this matter, but I was afraid that the two big powers of Wei and Zhao would not allow it, so even if the Chu State, which was advancing and retreating with him now, agreed, it would be useless.
Now that General Lian Po has come out, I think it is difficult for Xinlingjun to refuse.
It's a pity that both of them obviously thought wrongly.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Lian Po didn't know what they were thinking, and immediately explained: "The Han army who was ambushed is in the valley, and it is almost impossible to rescue them. Even if it is a rescue and a field battle with the Qin army, our army still needs to be the attacking side, and the loss of troops is not limited to tens of thousands."
Of course, this was said to the generals of the South Korean army: It's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save it at all.
"Zhao Jun didn't come out to rescue Han Jun." Lian Po continued, "It's for the purpose of burning grain."
This is naturally said to Xin Lingjun: I don't want to save the Han army, but I want to make the proposal to rescue the Han army completely impossible.
"Losses are inevitable, if you can't complete the task of burning grain, then I'm afraid that the wait of March, and the hard work of Wei and Chu will be wasted."
This was naturally said to the general of the Chu State: You don't want your hard work to be in vain, right?
After saying this, the three of them obviously understood what Lian Po meant. And even the generals of the South Korean army could not refute Lian Po's words.
Seeing that the three of them were thoughtful, Lian Po immediately continued: "The fact that the Qin army ambushed the Korean army on the way back of the Han army so accurately shows that the Qin army has mastered the route and timing of our army's grain burning to a certain extent."
"Therefore, I must set off immediately, and before the Qin army can react, I will immediately burn the last grain of Zhou Wangji." Lian Po finally said.
As he spoke, Lian Po had already stood up.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xin Lingjun suddenly realized, and said to Lian Po, "What General Lian Po said is to the point. The heavy responsibility of burning grain cannot be abandoned halfway. The general is on his way."
"Yes." Lian Po immediately clenched his fists and took his life, and then strode like walking outside the tent.
In a hurry, Lian Po had already left the camp, and it was not until this time that the general of the Korean army reacted. Obviously, Lian Po is not as selfless as he said, and Xin Lingjun is obviously not a sudden realization.
They
The two of them were cooperating and completely stunned the generals of the South Korean army.
Indeed, the task of burning grain is indeed important, and Lian Po's words are naturally reasonable, but from this point of view, Lian Po's behavior is not to pave the way for Zhao Kuo's plan of "coming to Zhao Guoren"?
As for Xinlingjun, it's even simpler.
What he wants is not to rescue Han Jun, as for the reason, what Lian Po gave is obviously very suitable.
In a flash of lightning, the general of the South Korean army finally reacted, and immediately caught up with General Lian Po.
He knew very well that once the Zhao army left, or General Lian Po left, even if the other two countries agreed, they would not be able to rescue their troops only by relying on the combat strength of the three kingdoms.
It's a pity that he stood up, and he was immediately stopped by Xin Lingjun, who was staring at him closely.
"General Han, don't be impulsive. Losing troops is inevitable, so don't be rash." Xin Lingjun grabbed General Han and persuaded him, "What's more, the country of Han is already short of grain and grass, and there are fewer people and less burden of grain!"
I don't know if he was in a hurry, or deliberately stimulated General Han, Xin Lingjun actually told the problem of the Han army's lack of food without words.
Yes, the South Korean army is short of food.
For some reason, in recent days, the grain has not been delivered, and as a last resort, the general of Han Zhiguo can only borrow grain from various countries.
At first, it was good to say, after all, they were all allies, and it was not a big deal to borrow some food.
But the problem is, once or twice, you can't borrow food again and again! Seeing that it has been more than half a month, the food of the other three countries is not rich!
After some investigation, I learned that the Qin army had cut off the Korean army's grain route.
Naturally, the generals of the South Korean army wanted to send troops to recapture the grain route. But the problem is that he has such an army of 50,000, and his combat effectiveness is pitifully weak, and if he fights against the Qin army, he really has no confidence.
In desperation, the generals of the Han army could only report to the king of Han, wanting the king of Han to transship grain through Wei or Zhao.
But the problem is that, on the one hand, a large amount of grain has been burned by the Qin army on the way, and there is not much grain at the front line for transshipment; On the other hand, regardless of whether Zhao Jun and Wei Jun cooperate or not, it will take time to recollect and transfer grain!
As a last resort, Han Jun could only tighten his belt, and with the support of Zhao Jun's small force, he suffered for more than half a month.
Even this expedition was given by Zhao Jun.
Therefore, in this expedition, in addition to burning grain, the Korean army also had to harvest an additional part of the grain and grass to supplement the military needs, and waited for the king of Han to transfer the grain and grass.
Because of this, the Han army's movements were a little slower than those of the Wei and Chu armies before. This also gave the Qin army ample time to set up an ambush.
As soon as Xin Lingjun said this, General Han was completely angry: "Oh, my Han army has traveled thousands of miles to join the alliance? Will it go wrong?"
Of course, General Han could only think about this in his heart, and he would definitely not dare to say it.
In the middle of this obstacle, General Lian Po's figure had disappeared into the camp.
The general of Han Zhiguo immediately understood: the matter could not be changed.
Then he sat down on the cushion in a dejected manner, and his heart was cold.
An army of 10,000! That's more than 10,000 troops! The total number of troops up and down in South Korea is less than 50,000, and this time it has gone to one-fifth, or the Qin army is almost undamaged. How do I have to explain this to the king!
Looking at the lost general of the Han army, Xin Lingjun also knew the deep meaning of being too late.
He immediately apologized to General Han and said, "It's Benjun who lost his words."
"In this way, I will lend 20,000 stone of grain to the general first, and then deduct it after King Han transfers, what does the general think." Xin Lingjun then threw out another carrot and said.
Shin Ling-kun's meaning is very clear. This 10,000 army was surrounded by the Qin army, it was purely an accident on the back, and it was impossible for the army to send troops to rescue it, but as long as you don't make trouble, you can drink enough food for your feet, if
If you continue to make trouble, not only will there be no rescue, but there will be no compensation with it.
Listening to Xin Lingjun's seemingly mild, but actually threatening words, the general of the Han army actually had no choice at all, so he could only nod silently, and agreed to Xin Lingjun's suggestion.
It's just that although people sit down, their hearts are completely cold.
I have to say that Qin Jun's murderous trick has achieved miraculous results. Even the general of Chu State, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, was also concerned in his heart.
In any case, Xinlingjun finally got the Korean general, and Lian Po over there had already asked Zhou Qi to take tens of thousands of cavalry to the east side of Zhou Wangji to start the final grain burning operation.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that just after the army had traveled far enough and entered another valley, the army of Zhao State immediately stopped, and even changed the banner and clothes of Wei State.
Where did so many Wei army flags and clothes come from?
You must know that in the first battle of Changping, nearly 100,000 troops of the Wei army were killed by the Qin army in the territory of Shangdang, and almost all of its materials and other goods were captured by the Qin army.
In the end, the winner of the Battle of Changping was the Qin State.
Naturally, the remnants of the Wei army were also obtained by the Zhao state, although some of them had been transformed and reassembled to the Zhao army, but it was not a problem to find some flags in the remaining inventory and find more than 10,000 sets of Wei army's clothes.
As for why he dressed up as Wei Jun.
Although this approach is a bit shameless, it is also an indispensable part of Zhao Kuo's "Come to Zhao Guoren" action. After all, no one would believe in a wicked person who burned down his home.
Even if you can only deceive for a while, that's good. As for the future, let's talk about it later......
Soon, Zhao Jun, who had changed his armor and banner, set out on the journey again.
Just as the flames in the valley were gradually extinguished, a raging fire finally broke out in the fields east of Zhou Wangji.
