Chapter 651 goes hand in hand to destroy Yan
"In order to confuse the Qin army, and also to avoid a sudden attack by the Qin army on Zhoudi." Zhao Kuo immediately ordered: "Order you to be the main general, lead 50,000 troops, and garrison Yicheng. On the one hand, it is a deterrent to South Korea, and on the other hand, it is wary of the Qin army going east."
"Yes." Li Mu, who heard the order, immediately agreed.
"General Tiandan." Zhao Kuo continued to command.
As Zhao Kuo's words fell, Lian Po on the first seat obviously looked a little gloomy.
Tian Dan on the side was naturally radiant, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "The end will be."
"The general is well-known in Yandi. Now that we have decided to cut down Yan, we naturally have to rely on the prestige of the general." Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Dan with a smile, and then ordered: "With the general's 70,000 army, go north from the land of Huaisi, attack Jicheng directly, do not destroy the Yan Kingdom, and do not return to the division."
"Yes, the last general commands." Immediately, Tian Dan agreed excitedly, "I will be the king of Ding Yanguo."
Obviously, Tian Dan is very satisfied with Zhao Kuo's arrangement. This satisfaction is not only reflected in the all-round satisfaction of the troops, but also the line proposed by Zhao Kuo makes Tian Dan's heart move.
This is the direction in which he was about to attack Yan after he took the seventy-two cities in a row, and even the route he had already planned to enter Yanhou.
It's a pity that he was pulled by the King of Qi and a group of ministers of Qi to attack the frame, and today, King Zhao is letting him start from the land of Huaisi again, although the initial location is slightly different, but in addition to the first city is different, the subsequent route can almost be applied to the plan that he worked hard to do back then.
This is obviously making up for his regrets back then!
Can Tiandan not be excited!
Of course, Tian Dan's excitement is not a taste in Lian Po's opinion.
Although when Tian Dan said the number of 70,000, Lian Po knew that the main general of this battle, Fei Tiandan, was the first person in Zhao ***, but no matter what, he Lian Po was the first person in Zhao *** Fang, this glory of destroying a country, of course Lian Po also wanted to fight.
It's a pity that his skills are not as good as others, and Lian Po can only sigh helplessly in his heart.
The performances of Lian Po and Tian Dan were obviously seen by Zhao Kuo, naturally, the thoughts of the two, Zhao Kuo also guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
It's just that everyone present obviously underestimated Zhao Kuo's importance to Yan Guo.
"Old General Lian." Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Lian Po and continued to speak lightly.
"The end will be." Although he was unwilling, Lian Po quickly replied with a fist and was ready to accept the task of staying in Handan.
Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po, but smiled slightly, and then continued: "The old general is the number one general of my Zhao country, how can this battle to destroy the country be without the strength of the old general! With the general's army of 100,000, he went out of Hejian County and went east to Jicheng, not to destroy the Yan Kingdom, and not to change divisions."
Hearing this, Lian Po was obviously a little stunned.
"Why, the old general doesn't want to share the worries of the widow?" Zhao Kuo immediately teased Lian Po.
"No, no, no." Lian Po hurriedly denied it: "The last general has orders!"
When the words fell, Lian Po seemed to feel that something was wrong, and immediately said with some hesitation: "It's just that my king, in this way, this time to destroy Yan, but to dispatch a total of 220,000 troops, in this way, the expenditure on grain and straw is not counted for the time being, and the troops in my Zhao country will be weak, and I, General Tian Dan, and General Li Mu are all on one side, and there is no general in the court, once other unpredictable battles occur, I am afraid of accidents."
The more he spoke, the more Lian Po's brows wrinkled.
As if he had made a lot of determination, Lian Po still spoke: "The last general knows that my king is sympathetic to the last general, but just in case, the last general will stay in Handan."
Obviously, saying the words of taking the initiative to give up the killing of Yan requires not only a strong overall view, but also a lot of determination.
And Lian Po, who said these words, obviously put the interests of Zhao Guo before his own interests. Naturally, these words were also very pleasant to listen to in Zhao Kuo's ears.
"The old general can have such old words to hold the country, and the widow is deeply honored." In the face of such an old general who dedicated his whole life to Zhao Guo, Zhao Kuo naturally did not hesitate to praise.
forthwith
Zhao Kuo said with a smile, "It's just that the old general has forgotten that the widow also came from the battlefield. If there is a war, the widow himself will lead a large army to meet it."
"This?" Hearing this, Lian Po was a little speechless, after all, Zhao Kuo's military ability is that he is also willing to bow down, but the former general has become the king of Zhao, which makes Lian Po forget for a while.
During the Warring States Period, there were no corrupt words that could not be moved lightly, especially Zhao Kuo was still the first general recognized by the countries today, and everyone present obviously couldn't say anything against it.
"However, after all, the soldiers that my Zhao Kingdom can fight now are only 250,000, and this time I have gone to 220,000, plus there are still at least 20,000 army assistants from Kongcang Ridge to Light Wolf City, so calculated, my king only has more than 10,000 available soldiers in his hands, how can he be?" Lian Po continued with a look on his face.
"Hahaha, General Lian is too worried." Zhao Kuo said disapprerovitously: "In the past, with only 5,000 soldiers, they were still able to resist the 100,000 troops of the Yan Army, but now there are tens of thousands of elites to deploy, what is there to fear! What's more, with the arrival of next year, our army will be able to expand by more than 20,000 troops, to say the least, in other words, when the general goes next year, there will be at least 30,000 troops in the hands of the widows, which is enough."
At this point, it would be rude to continue to refute it.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Kuo to disregard the safety of the country for no reason and scatter so many troops.
The reason for this, Zhao Kuo naturally had to explain it to a few people one by one.
"The widow bluntly said that the reason why the two generals each led their troops and horses to destroy Yan was that the two old generals showed their abilities and took the Yan Kingdom as quickly as possible." Seeing that everyone had no big objections, Zhao Kuo continued.
"The reason for the speed required is also very simple, to put it bluntly, my Zhao Zhi's destruction of Yan and Qin's eastward exit are almost synchronous, although our army has done its best to confuse, but it is also inevitable that the Qin army will be secretly hindered, if we can't take Yan before the Qin army completes its eastward mission, then my Zhao State is bound to be in danger." Zhao Kuo continued to explain, "In this case, I should attack Yan with all my strength, the sooner the two generals take the Yan Kingdom, the safer my Zhao Kingdom will be."
Hearing this, Lian Po and Tian Dan glanced at each other, and then bowed to Zhao Kuo with both fists, and said, "The last general will be smeared with liver and brain, and swear to destroy Yan Kingdom."
Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "How to fight the front-line tactics, the widow will not interfere. The outnumbered people who fought in the early stage were not worried, but it was inevitable that the orders were not uniform, and the outnumbered people had the words first, and the first to attack Jicheng was the main one."
"Yes." Lian Po and Tian Dan immediately agreed in unison.
Zhao Kuo is still at ease with Lian Po and Tian Dan, and with the high morality and respect of the two, it is obvious that they will not do anything opportunistic.
There is a piece of fat in Jicheng hanging in front of the two, which must be able to motivate the two to attack a little faster.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo had already finished his order, Lian Po immediately clasped his fists and said, "My king, since the strategy of attacking Yan has been decided, there are still three things for the last general, and I ask my king to surrender."
"Old General, please speak." Zhao Kuo nodded in agreement.
"First, please ask my king to contact Wei and Chu in the next year to attack Korea, so as to confuse the Qin army and paralyze the Yan state." Lian Po then bowed slightly.
"Yes." Zhao Kuo continued to agree: "This is expected. Yu Qing, let's make a note of this first."
"Yes." Yu Qing on the side immediately bowed.
"Two." General Lian Po continued to speak: "After the beginning of the year, the last general wants to go to Hejian Mansion first and investigate the route into Yan, one needs the cooperation of our king, and the ministers are allowed to take leave to be the eyes and ears of the guests from all over the world; The second is to ask my king to have the right to transfer part of the troops to the border."
When the words fell, Tian Dan on the side immediately added: "The last general also needs to rush to the land of Huaisi in advance to make preparations before the battle."
"Hmm." Zhao Kuo nodded, of course he knew the importance of this pre-war reconnaissance. The so-called "everything is foreseen, and if nothing is planned, it will be wasted", in a battle, in addition to fighting national strength, intelligence is also the most important.
Before the battle is fought, the arrangement of one side is already on the other side's desk, can the balance of victory and defeat not be tilted?
The most direct example is Zhao
Including the battle of Changping that he personally experienced, all of Zhao Kuo's deployments were almost pinched by the opponent's Bai Qi's arrangement, although because of Bai Qi's temporary play, the battle was still difficult.
But, that's a slaughter!
Even if people slaughtered Baiqi, they still couldn't save Zhao Kuo's targeted arrangement.
It can be said that if it weren't for the open-book exam, let alone one Zhao Kuo, even if ten Zhao Kuo were tied together, plus Lian Po's assistance, it would not be Bai Qi's opponent.
However, if Lian Po and Tian both disappeared into the court, there was no good reason, and it would obviously arouse the suspicion of the enemy country, especially the Qin State.
"After the beginning of the year, General Lian Po will be appointed to inspect the Northland, while General Tian Dan and General Li Mu will be sent to Shangdang County and Huaisi County respectively." Zhao Kuo said calmly: "In this way, the three generals will conduct inspections in three directions, and the countries will only think that it is a routine inspection and garrison."
This was obviously the best way to go, and when the three of them heard this, they immediately agreed, "Do as the king commands."
"As for the search for information." Zhao Kuo immediately said, "After that, the widow will order Yulin Wei Sun Gu to contact the two generals. Over the years, Yu Linwei's spies should have some effect. As for the transfer of troops on the border, before the general leaves, the king will give him a tiger talisman, and the general can decide for himself."
Although Zhao Kuo's words were light, his trust in Lian Po and Tian Dan was beyond words.
When Lian Po and Tian Shan heard this, they also felt the same way, and immediately bowed deeply and said, "Thank you to my king."
Immediately, Zhao Kuo continued to look at Lian Po and motioned for him to continue.
"Three." Lian Po also nodded and continued, "The time of the army's rush to the battlefield, the distance and the time of the attack, can the last general be allowed to decide himself?"
"Of course, the general's own decision." Zhao Kuo replied almost without thinking, "Does the general still want this king to plan a route for you? As for the coordination of the transfer of ordnance, grain and grass, the two generals can report it after discussing with Pingyuanjun. In a word, as long as the widow is in the Yan Kingdom, the general can decide on other things. If there is any case on the front line, the secretary and others can act cheaply."
"This!" The two of them were even a little panicked when they heard this.
"Cheap!" How much right is that?!
The lower county guards can't be four grades, according to the right to "act cheaply", and even killing the county guard is also within the "cheap", so that with soldiers and horses in hand, and control the strong county, plus enough grain, it is not impossible to tear the soil immediately!
It's not just "trust" anymore! This is already a heart-to-heart "trust".
As the two old ministers of the Three Dynasties, whether they are Lian Po or Tian Dan, they have experienced too much "distrust", no matter how good they are, they are still inevitably injured by the hidden arrows in the court.
The Lian Po of Changping, and even the Tiandan of the Seventy-two Cities, are all like this.
And now, Zhao Kuo has given them almost "endless" trust.
How could this not move the two of them.
Immediately, the two of them clasped their fists together and slammed them to the end, saying, "I am willing to serve my king to the death!"
