Chapter 747 It is advisable to chase after the poor man with the remaining bravery
"God doesn't take it, but suffers from it."
Zhao Kuo silently repeated this sentence in his heart.
Indeed, this opportunity is rare, and if we miss this opportunity, we still don't know how long we will have to wait, let alone how much we will have to pay to truly complete reunification.
Stability is wanted, but if it is too stable, it will be a waste of opportunity.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Zhao army has been assembled and its morale is booming, it is necessary to smash the biggest stumbling block on the road to reunification.
With a long exhale, Zhao Kuo came to Chen Du with the determination to fight the battle of two generations with one generation.
Regarding Zhao Kuo's arrival, to be honest, Li Mu was a little surprised.
Because in Li Mu's thoughts, the overall situation has been decided, and the army will retreat soon, so there should be no reason for the king to come to the front line.
But Zhao Kuo is here.
In the Chinese military tent, a huge map has been spread out on the table.
Li Mu and Tian Dan, who had just stepped into it, glanced at each other, and seemed to have vaguely guessed Zhao Kuo's plan.
"I have seen my king." The two of them greeted each other together.
"The two generals have worked hard, please get up." Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and immediately helped the two of them up.
"Today, the Qin army withdrew to Yingdu, the Chu army entered Shouchun, and the Qi army was trapped in Linzi. This battle also ended in a complete victory for our army." Zhao Kuo praised while pulling the two of them to the map, and continued: "Now, my Zhao Kingdom has a large area of land such as Hexi, Hedong, Weijing, and Chendu. Today's Zhao State not only unifies the Three Jins, but also has a large area of land in Yan and Chu, which can be described as prosperous."
"At the same time, the widow is faced with two choices." Zhao Kuo didn't hide it, and threw the question straight out, saying, "Do you go back to your master to celebrate, or continue to fight, if you continue to fight, where should you start."
"I have been thinking for a long time, but I have never been able to make a decision, and I asked the two generals to teach me." After saying that, Zhao Kuo also looked at the two of them with a sincere face.
Yes, although Zhao Kuo had already made a decision in his heart, Zhao Kuo still had to ask Li Mu and Tian Dan's opinions.
This is not only respect for the two generals, but also a must.
If the two generals have the same idea as themselves, it is naturally the best, if there is a contradiction, first, Zhao Kuo needs to judge whether this contradictory place is fatal, whether it is something that he failed to consider; Second, if it is not fatal, Zhao Kuo will consider convincing the other party.
After all, the battle needs to be fought by Li Mu and Tian Dan, and the idea of unifying the commander is very important for a battle that takes the initiative to attack.
The two of them immediately looked at each other again.
Immediately, the two of them silently looked at the map that had been spread out on the table.
Obviously, both of them have understood that their king wants to continue fighting, but as the generals of the Zhao State, they must think about this issue independently.
It's impossible for the two of them not to pay attention to it, this is not a simple problem, and it can even be said to be an issue that will affect the general trend in the future.
Therefore, even though they knew the answer in the king's heart, the two still forced themselves to abandon their thoughts and draw their own conclusions.
After a long time, the two gradually raised their heads.
Li Mu immediately clenched his fists and took the lead in replying: "If there is enough grain and grass, Weichen thinks that he can continue to fight!"
After listening to Li Mu's reply, Zhao Kuo did not nod, but asked, "Reason?"
Li Mu immediately replied: "If we don't fight, there are only two things: first, our army has been fighting for several months and feels tired; Second, the continuation of the war in winter will inevitably drag into spring, which will affect spring ploughing.
But in fact, our army is tired, the enemy army is even more tired, our army affects spring ploughing, and the enemy army will be even more affected.
And at this time, our army has a morale bonus, if we return to the division and fight again in the next year, although our army is no longer tired, but the enemy army is even more leisurely, and our army has less morale bonus, it is better to fight at this time than to fight at that time."
"Where's General Tian?" Zhao Kuo still didn't say anything, but looked at Tian Dan on the other side.
"Battle." Tian Dan also replied seriously.
「
Why?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.
"It's not easy to move troops." Tian Dan also replied earnestly: "Our army has now invested more than 500,000 troops, and if we return, a large part of them will have to change their armor and become peasants again, and we will have to recruit again, especially when there is no danger, I am afraid it will not be easy.
On the contrary, in order to ensure security, other countries are bound to resort to military force and maintain sufficient troops.
Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the fact that our army has enough troops now and get all the benefits that can be obtained."
"Of course." Tian Dan suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Weichen still has a selfish heart."
"Huh?" Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Dan with some curiosity.
"Wechen is over fifty years old." Tian Dan also replied with a smile: "Weichen also wants to see the appearance of Zhao State ruling the world before leaving, for himself and for General Lian Po."
When the words fell, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu's hearts suddenly became a little sour.
Obviously, it was already on the eve of victory, but General Lian Po died in the final battle, how could it not be embarrassing and sour.
Sighing slightly, Zhao Kuo quickly pulled himself out of his memory.
Seeing that the two generals under his command supported his idea, Zhao Kuo did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Before the war, I asked Pingyuan Jun to prepare three years of grain, but now that half a year has not passed, the food is naturally sufficient. That being the case, the widow decided that it would be better to chase after the poor and continue the war."
"Yes." Li Mu and Tian Dan also agreed together.
"Now that you've decided to keep fighting." Zhao Kuo also continued to ask, "I don't know how our army should march next?"
"Attack Qin!" Li Mu and Tian Dan almost unanimously said the answer in their hearts.
Seeing that his generals had a relationship with him, Zhao Kuo gradually became excited: "What is the goal?"
"Qin is based on the solidity of the Han Valley, and there is a natural danger in Bashu, and it is difficult to go down in a battle. In this battle, our army should aim to weaken and blockade the Qin State." Li Mu immediately pointed to Yutu and replied, "The goal is to take the land of Yan Ying and completely force the Qin army to meet Bashu."
"Once the Qin army loses the land of Yan Ying, it will completely lose the momentum of attack. It can only rely on the dangers of Hangu Pass and Bashu to hold on. Then our army can calmly deal with Qi and Chu in Shandong." Tian Dan also agreed.
Such a plan obviously fell into Zhao Kuo's hands, and then Zhao Kuo continued to ask, "How to attack?"
"With a small number of troops to stay in Chendu, 300,000 big *** to the southwest, attack the land of Yanying." Li Mu replied almost without thinking.
"The other 100,000 troops turned north and entered the east of the river and detained the Hangu Valley." Tian Dan on the side immediately followed Li Mu's words and said, "Force the Qin army to come back to help."
"If the Qin army returns to Hangu, then our army will cut off the road between Shuzhong and Yanying, trap the Qin army in Yingdu, and then take it." Li Mu then added, "If the Qin army does not come back to help, then attack Hangu with superior forces."
"If you can get the land of Yan Ying, you can completely block the way for the Qin army to go east." Tian Dan continued: "At this point, this battle may be temporarily suspended."
"When our army has exhausted the land east of the Kunshan Mountain, and then uses the strength of the whole country to attack the Hangu Valley, then the world can be unified." Li Mu finally filled in the last piece of the puzzle.
In the words of you and the words of me, a complete plan has been formed.
This is often the case between heroes, no more explanation is needed, everything is in the heart.
"In addition, the captives of Qi and Chu can be organized into an army as soon as possible to supplement their military strength." Zhao Kuo also immediately added.
As soon as these words came out, it undoubtedly showed Zhao Kuo's approval of the plan of the two, and immediately Li Mu and Tian Dan also bowed in unison: "I am Wang Yingming."
"That's so." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then ordered: "General Tiandan, you will be the chief general of the Northern Route Army, with 100,000 soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Sun Gu, and 100,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and will attack Hangu."
"Yes." Tian Dan immediately received the order.
"Li Mu." Zhao Kuo continued to point.
"The end will be." Li Mu also immediately agreed.
"The commander of the Southern Route Army will be handed over to you." Zhao Kuo then ordered, "Although the intelligence shows that some of the Qin army has returned to Shuzhong and marched towards Guanzhong, the Qin army should not be underestimated. It is necessary to cooperate well with General Tiandan's subordinates."
"Yes. My king is of good cheer." Li Mu also immediately agreed.
"All armies will be drawn on the same day, and they will arrive at their designated positions within fifteen days without delay." Zhao Kuo then ordered.
"Yes." The two of them agreed with their fists clenched in unison.
In this way, when everyone thought that the war was over, and the main force of the Qin army had even begun to gradually retreat towards Guanzhong, the Zhao army acted again.
It's just that because the 100,000 troops of Tiandan's department are moving to the north, and Zhao Kuo's own Luan is also heading to Handan, everyone thinks that Zhao Jun is returning to the division in batches.
But it strengthened the wrong ideas of everyone except Zhao Jun.
It wasn't until Tiandan's army suddenly appeared in Hedong that Qin suddenly realized that something was wrong.
It's just that at this time, the main force of nearly 200,000 Qin troops has returned to Shuzhong.
This made King Qin's grandson Chu feel a little more at ease.
Sure enough, at the same time that Zichu hurriedly transferred the last mobile force of Xianyang to Hangu Pass, the appearance of the main force of the Zhao army had already appeared outside Hangu Pass, and the number was more than 200,000!
Immediately, Zi Chu also urgently ordered the main force of the Qin army in Shu to go to Hangu Pass for reinforcements.
It's just that the main force of the Qin army in Shu here has just marched through the dense forest and mountains to Guanzhong, and there is urgent news from the land of Yan Ying - the main force of the Zhao army is attacking the city, and the number is still above 300,000!
The main force, and the main force, how many main forces does Zhao Jun have!
This is the question that Zichu wants to ask the most now.
It was obvious that the strength of the Qin army at this time was no longer enough to support the two-front battle, and what was even worse was that Zichu suddenly found that even if he wanted to find an ally to relieve the siege, the Qin State could not find it at all.
Qi Guo didn't say anything, he was trembling in Linzi at this time while training the new army.
Chu State, even holding Shouchun City, refused to move, and did not dare to take even half a step.
At this time, the Qin army was truly isolated.
Fortunately, such a situation has been thought of since Wang Yu led the army to withdraw from the Yingchuan front, but he didn't expect that Zhao Guoguo would continue to fight, and he would not let him calmly arrange the time for his troops. And this shot was pressed by the whole army, unceremoniously.
This pressure really made Qin Guo a little breathless......
