"Still, my king." Li Mu then bowed down and said, "The last general can only defeat one of the Qi armies and return to the front line of Xinzheng."

"Huh?" Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he already understood Li Mu's thoughts.

It's not that Li Mu doesn't have the ability to defeat two Qi armies in a row, it's just that Li Mu wants to return as soon as possible for the sake of Xinzheng, to be precise, for his own safety.

It's just that in the face of Li Mu's kind request, Zhao Kuo was a little hesitant.

Without him, if only 70,000 Qi troops are solved, then it means that Tiandan's troops will continue to face 250,000 troops.

And even if the 70,000 troops in Wei were to support him, Tian Dan only had 140,000 troops in his hands, and the opponent would still be almost twice as large as him.

This also means that Huaisi County will still be in absolute weakness.

In other words, the winner of this war still has to be in the hands of Sun Gu's 100,000 army.

But now, Sun Gu's army is very likely to have marched to Hexi, and if you want Sun Gu to transfer troops back for reinforcements, it is impossible to do so without a month or two.

Even if you take into account the coming winter, it will only be more difficult to bring back troops.

And in the next two months, the initiative on the battlefield will be completely in the hands of the opponent.

Even if the Xinzheng front can support it, can the Huaisi County side hold on?

Even, if it can't be attacked for a long time, what if the Chu army and the Qi army make a detour north and go straight to Jibei?

It's not a good thing to give the initiative on the battlefield to someone else, especially for that long.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Kuo shook his head firmly and said, "We must eliminate the threat of the Qi army as much as possible at all costs, even if we can't completely annihilate the second Qi army, we must defeat it. Only by completely eliminating the threat of the Qi army, after your troops leave, will General Tian Dan have any hope of victory."

"140,000 against 180,000, even if the Chu army is not strong enough, it is already the limit." Zhao Kuo muttered.

"But." Li Mu was about to refute, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Zhao Kuo.

"I know, you're worried about the direction of Xinzheng." Zhao Kuo said coldly: "Transferring troops to the east is a very dangerous move, since we have taken a great risk, we should have corresponding gains, if only one part of the Qi army is broken, the situation of the Huaisi battle cannot be fundamentally changed, why should our army take this risk?"

Zhao Kuo's words made Li Mu speechless.

Indeed, since you have already taken a risk, if you are still afraid of this or that, then it is better not to take the risk at all.

Although there is nothing wrong with that, it is good to strangle the first Qi army, and Li Mu is still sure that he can rush back to Xinzheng before the Qin army reacts, but if he strangles two Qi armies in a row, with the ability of the Qin army, it is almost impossible to find the problem.

Putting his own king in danger, Li Mu has never been able to pass this hurdle.

"That's it." Zhao Kuo obviously also saw the entanglement in Li Mu's heart, and immediately continued: "Zhao Wei's three thousand heavy cavalry is also brought, which can speed up the speed at which you strangle the Qi army."

"This?" Li Mu, who heard this, suddenly brightened his eyes, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will bring two thousand heavy cavalry, and the remaining one thousand, and transfer them into Xinzheng City, if it is ......

No need to ask, Li Mu's idea is very simple, in case he doesn't have time to come back, and the Qin army is too eager to attack the city, with this thousand heavy cavalry here, he can escort Wang Shang out of the city and return to Handan.

It's just that Li Mu forgot that the Zhao Kuo in front of him was not the previous King Zhao.

How could Zhao Kuo, who had climbed up from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in Changping, do something like leaving the army and running for his life alone.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, "There is nothing in case."

"Back then, in the city, there were only 5,000 troops in the hands of the widows, and the 60,000 elites of the hard-topped Yan army were still immovable." Zhao Kuo said with confidence: "Now the city of Xinzheng, I don't know how many times stronger than the city of Yancheng, there are more than 200,000 troops in the hands of the widows, and the Qin army is only more than 300,000. General, don't worry, lead your troops east!"

Although Zhao Kuo's words are beautiful, everyone knows it

is full of flaws.

Not to mention anything else, just one point, is the combat power of the Yan army compared with that of the Qin army?

Not to mention, the Qin army in front of Xinzheng City has been preparing for a long time, and the siege equipment is not good, but the Yan army even has to save a few arrow towers, and the gap in this equipment is also very different.

In terms of troops, in terms of multiples, it is indeed greater when Yancheng was in power, but judging from the difference in numbers, the current Zhao army is more than 100,000 less.

Obviously, Zhao Kuo's ability to defend the city does not mean that Zhao Kuo can defend today's Xinzheng. Xiushu.com

But Zhao Kuo had already said it to this point, and Li Mu knew that he could not refuse. The only thing he can do is to find a way to solve the problem of Huaisi County as quickly as possible.

Li Mu, who had thought about this clearly, immediately stood with his fists clenched and said, "Weichen takes the order."

"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded.

Immediately, the two of them also began to refine the details of the plan.

Using the speed of the cavalry to fight a time difference, this plan seems simple, but when it comes to execution, it is not simple at all.

The first thing to solve is the problem of how to quietly extract the 100,000 troops from under the noses of the Qin army.

Fortunately, because Zhou Qi's troops had set up a village outside the city, and had formed a rivalry with Xinzheng City, the Qin army did not dare to get too close.

Or perhaps it was because the Qin army was paralyzing the Zhao army, and the Qin army itself was quietly moving, trying to tell the Zhao army that they were going to withdraw to the Chen capital later.

Therefore, at this time, Xinzheng has enough space to quietly transfer troops.

The second problem is the problem of coordination.

You must know that even if the army that is about to rush to Huaisi County is all counted, the military strength of the Zhao army is only 240,000, and in the face of the 140,000 army of the Qi army, although it has an absolute advantage, it is not easy to take the 70,000 army of the Qi army in one fell swoop.

In particular, the 240,000 troops were also led by three people, Lü Buwei in Wei, Lejian Division, Tiandan Division in Huaisi County, and the cavalry corps led by Li Mu, it was really not easy for these three forces to work together.

But fortunately, under the discussion of Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, a complete set of plans was soon released.

Before it was early afternoon, dozens of heralds flew out from the north gate of Xinzheng City.

These heralds are the most elite soldiers around Zhao Kuo, and what they carry is the latest deployment discussed by Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, and it is also the top secret of whether this battle can be successful.

Out of the city gate, these dozens of horsemen instantly divided into three groups, respectively to the northeast, due north and northwest three sides.

Needless to say, this order was given to Tian Dan, Lü Buwei and Sun Gu.

In the city of Xinzheng City and in the outer village, Li Mu and Zhao Wei also began the final preparations according to Zhao Kuo's orders.

As night fell, the soldiers of the Zhao Army were quietly awakened by their commanders and captains.

Blowing cold water, washing away the drowsiness of the body, changing into armor, picking up the blade, and quietly getting out of the camp.

By the light of the moon and the starlight and the bonfire on the side of the road, he took out his mount in turn, but saw that his old man had already been wrapped in the horse's hooves, and even the horse's mouth was chewed.

Holding his war horse in one hand, he took a wooden stick from the hand of the tun chief with the other, wiped it on his body indiscriminately, and then bit it into his mouth.

Following the figure of Shi Chang in front of him, he slowly walked towards the unknown darkness.

The further you go, the more brilliant the starlight becomes, but the bonfire gets thinner and thinner until it sinks into a black hole.

I didn't have time to panic, and when I raised my head, the bright moon had been left behind by me.

is also left behind by himself, as well as the towering Xinzheng City!

In this way, quietly, tens of thousands of troops have driven out of Xinzheng and marched towards the mountains and forests farther away.

Although there were some surprises in their hearts and they were full of questions, all the soldiers of the Zhao army still walked silently, and did not make a single sound.

Just walked quietly and silently, and walked through one bend after another

, passing by rivers.

After walking for more than two hours, I couldn't see Xin Zhengcheng anymore, and the order to "untie" came in a hurry.

With a "phew", the soldier immediately spit out the wooden stick in his mouth.

As the wooden stick hit the ground, the hissing sound of "sighing rhythm" instantly resounded through the heavens and the earth.

The horse, which was also suffocated, raised his head wantonly, venting his frustration to his master.

Patting the horse's belly, the warrior immediately squatted down and untied the thick cloth tied to the horse's hooves.

The war horse obviously knew what its master meant, and actually cooperated with the hoofs that were lifted one by one, so that the master could operate better.

Soon after, the cloth was removed from the four hooves.

The war horse also stomped its feet on the spot excitedly, and the sound of the horse's hooves instantly composed a pleasant music.

But let the owner who was carrying the cloth into his arms also laughed involuntarily, this thick cloth can not be thrown away, go home and change it, it is a good dress for children.

This moment may be the most relaxed and happy moment for War Horse and his master.

It's a pity that the time to be happy is always short-lived.

The cavalry warriors here had just untied their horses, and the order from the front was conveyed again.

"Hanging stirrups."

At the sound of the command, the warrior quickly took out two ropes from the baggage under the saddle of the war horse and fastened them to the sides of the saddle.

Yes, bilateral stirrups.

At this moment of decisive battle, Zhao Kuo obviously had no need to continue to hide.

In fact, after Zhou Qi's heavy cavalry completely destroyed the 3,000 heavy cavalry of the Qin army, Zhao Kuo began to equip and adapt the cavalry units under his command to bilateral stirrups.

It's just that because the war has been in a confrontation, even if it is not a confrontation, it is mostly the Qin army attacking, but the Zhao army cavalry with bilateral stirrups has never had a chance to show it.

And today's Huaisi Battle just gave the Zhao cavalry equipped with bilateral stirrups a chance to perform.

Of course, the use of bilateral stirrups is not only effective on the battlefield, but also has a great bonus to the speed of cavalry.

Soon, the warrior hung the stirrups on the saddle.

"Get on the horse."

Almost at the same time, another command reached the warrior's ears.

Gently stroking the head of the war horse, the warrior soon came to the side of the war horse, stepped into the stirrup, and with a slight force, his body was already in the air, and with a simple turnover, the warrior had sat firmly on the horse's back.

The war horse chirped again, as if greeting the owner on horseback, and seemed to remind the master to be steady!

"Let's go!"

Rubbing the neck of the war horse, the feet that had been inserted into the stirrups gently clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse immediately ran.

The sound of horses' hooves instantly resounded across the ground.

It's a pity that Xinzheng City in the rear can't hear this thunderous sound at all, and of course, the Qin army can't hear it.

In this way, the Zhao army sent 100,000 cavalry on the road in one night.

At the same time, Lü Buwei, who was far away in Daliang City, only received a secret order from Zhao Kuo at dawn.

Looking at the panting herald, Lü Buwei immediately understood the importance of the secret order.

It's just that Lu Buwei is still not in a hurry, and while checking the secret order, he ordered someone to invite the music room.

However, in just over an hour, the entire Daliang City was also lively.

In the name of reinforcing Xinzheng, Lejian quickly left the south gate with the 52,000 Wei troops (including more than 3,000 Zhao troops, used to control the Wei army) that had just been reorganized, but turned east after ten miles out of the city.

And Lü Buwei was gathering the Zhao army of the Great Liang on the one hand, and the Zhao army of the surrounding cities on the other hand, until dusk, the Zhao army was assembled, and then the 20,000 army also set off quickly, chasing the footsteps of Lejian.

Of course, Lü Buwei still stayed in Daliang City, and there were still more than 1,000 elite Zhao troops under his command.

Until the Zhao army in the territory of Wei State had poured out, the Chu army in the Chen capital had not yet begun to act.

It's not that the generals of the Chu army don't know the truth of the speed of the soldiers, it's just that the generals of the Chu army need to firmly occupy the Chen capital.

Of course, in Chu Jun's heart, Zhao Jun had been deceived by them, and it was impossible to know their true intentions, which was the most fundamental reason why they dared to rest in Chen Capital.

And as Zhao Kuo's advice to remind them to pay attention to the movements of the Qin army in case they fall into the trap of the Qin army, the king of Chu and his generals laughed even louder.

Everyone seemed to have seen the stunned expression on Zhao Kuo's face when they appeared in Huaisi County.

However, in order to perform more realistically, the king of Chu immediately replied to Zhao Kuo, one to express his gratitude to Zhao Kuo for his timely reminder, and the other to tell Zhao Kuo that he would firmly occupy Chen Du and wait for Zhao's army to go south to join the army.

This is obviously to fool the Zhao army into giving up the advantage of the city and launching an attack on the Qin army!

The king of Chu is indeed ruthless enough, and even, if the Zhao army really goes south, the Chu army will stay in Chendu, and it is possible to strangle the Zhao army.

It's a pity that what King Chu doesn't know is that his conspiracy has long been seen through by Zhao Kuo.

Looking at King Chu's reply, Zhao Kuo was ......
