As a result, under Zhao Kuo's deliberate bribery, these captives were released, as if a time bomb was placed in the city, which was miserable for the defenders, and it was better not to release these people back.

Because after these people returned to the city, it was like blowing up a pot, distributing food to everyone, and telling everywhere about their good treatment. At this time, the people, soldiers and civilians in the city were all moved, praising Zhao Jun's kindness, not only did not abuse the prisoners of war, but also gave the prisoners good food and drink, and even distributed grain and grass to their families. This is in the Warring States period of unrighteous warfare, and the behavior of Zhao's *** team can be regarded as an outlier.

The demoralization caused by such heart-to-heart complaints is far more terrible than the heavy casualties. The people in the city did not want to starve to death with the Qi army, everyone wanted to go out of the city and surrender, and even the Qi soldiers were affected.

This is Zhao Kuo's first move, and the generals of the Qi army also know that if this continues, people's minds will change, and Maiqiu will be self-defeating. Once the city is broken, the people and soldiers may be fine, but the generals are promoted by the king of Qi, but they end up with the shame of losing their teachers and land, which is really unbearable.

Therefore, although the generals of Qi knew the importance of morale, they still fell for Zhao Kuo in action: he actually ordered all the returning captives to be arrested and tortured for the crime of shaking the morale of the army. At this time, the people and soldiers of the city dared to be angry.

What the people of Maiqiu saw was how the people of Zhao who besieged the city treated us, and now how did the generals of their own Qi State treat their own soldiers? In contrast, the anger is self-evident.

Zhao Kuo's goal was achieved, he just wanted to divide the forces in the city, and sure enough, the upper-level generals of the defenders and the ordinary people in the city had been divided into two factions.

And Zhao Hao decided to add another fire, and according to Zhao Kuo's suggestion, he played his second move: order the soldiers of Zhao State to throw grain into the city with trebuchets, and then stop attacking when they throw in the grain, and return to the camp to rest.

This time the city was even more bombed, and the Zhao army not only attacked, but also sent food every day. At this time, there are those who secretly hide the food, there are those who distribute the food to the families in the city, and what the hungry Qi soldiers and ordinary people do every day is to wait for Zhao Jun's "gift package" to be thrown in, everyone grabs it, and when they grab it, they scatter in a hurry.

The Zhao army has not yet attacked, and the people and soldiers in the city want to run outside the city to join the Zhao people! Suffering from the fact that there are Qi soldiers guarding the city on the city wall, otherwise the people inside would have run away a long time ago.

At the beginning, the Zhao army attacked the city and sighed, but now the people in the city want to escape but have no hope, and they also sigh at the city, and everything is turned upside down.

In this way, it has not been a few days, and the generals of the Qi army think that if they continue like this, they are afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people. In order to prevent the Zhao army from bribing people's hearts and minds and breaking the hearts of the people in the city, the defenders simply sent representatives to collect the captured grain and return it to the Zhao army.

The envoy also told Zhao Hao that the Zhao army could fight as hard as possible and stop taking conspiratory actions against the Qi army. Zhao Hao just smiled, and did not embarrass the messenger, and still treated him politely and asked him to go back. Militarily, however, he continued to go his own way, continuing to throw grain into the city every day with trebuchets.

Seeing that Zhao Hao was still throwing food, the defenders knew that their morale could not be lowered any longer, so they used the lure of going out of the city to fight and force the Zhao army to fight to the death with them, which was better than a demoralization collapse. So he sent an envoy to send a war letter, wanting to give up the hard city barrier, give up all the advantages, and agree with Zhao Jun to fight outside the city.

But Zhao Hao saw that Maiqiu City was broken overnight, and there was no need to fight with them, so he followed the advice of his son Zhao Kuo again, did not see the messenger, did not fight a decisive battle with the Qi army, and continued to drag on for a few days.

Sure enough, after a few more days, there was a change in the city, and news of infighting came from Maiqiu. The defenders of the Qi army were actually killed by their subordinates, and then the soldiers and civilians in the city immediately surrendered to the Zhao army. Zhao Kuo's strategy of "attacking the heart first" was finally realized.

In the first battle of Maiqiu, Zhao Hao admired his son's military talent very much, and the soldiers of Zhao also admired Zhao Hao's father and son, as the so-called "tiger father has no dog", Zhao ***'s team praised Zhao Kuo, after this battle, Zhao Kuo's fame spread.

With the help of skillful capture of Maiqiu, not only made Zhao Hao famous, but also created Zhao Kuo's fame, and even King Zhao Huiwen knew about Zhao Kuo and rewarded him greatly.

But this battle also had some side effects, and Zhao Hao conquered Maiqiu after affirming Zhao Kuo's whimsy. Thus Zhao Kuo's prestige and status were raised

It's high, but at the same time people float up. After all, Zhao Kuo is still young and inexperienced, and it is inevitable that he will underestimate the enemy in later battles.

What's more, the plan must be rigorous, and the implementation must also consider all kinds of accidents, which is also a great test of the commander's adaptability and experience, for example, the timing of the use of the strategy of putting food is very important.

If you start with food, it will have no effect. And Zhao Hao released the prisoners first, observed the situation, and then further baked the fire. After waiting for the lack of food in the city and the fluctuation of the morale of the army and the people, the food was thrown in again, and the miraculous effect was achieved. It can be seen that the veteran is still experienced.

It's a pity that in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo was too light on the enemy, thinking that except for Bai Qi, there was still a threat, and the rest of the princes were not to be afraid, and fundamentally made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Otherwise, if you attach importance to your opponent from the beginning of the war and be cautious in every military action, you will not fall into the encirclement of the Qin army.

So......

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but take a sip of my coffee and commented: "The battle of Changping cannot deny Zhao Kuo's talent, and Zhao Kuo also lost in arrogance and arrogance in the end."

"Even if it's on paper, you can't deny Zhao Kuo's talent, so in the same way," I believe: "Nalan Wenjing is by no means a vase, and what is piled up on paper is often a deep foundation, which ordinary people can't measure at all, she just lacks a chance, after appreciating the reality and experiencing actual combat, she will eventually become a blockbuster!"

"That's right," Jiang Ling didn't refute, and even showed an expression of approval.

However, Chen Anran scoffed: "Come on...... I think, you're just thinking about it, thinking about Nalan Wenjing, thinking about that Lori girl, some people are that fetish, what's it called now? Lolicon, huh?"

"Heh," Jiang Ling took over with a light smile, thinking, "You have already made a decision, you want to choose Nalan Wenjing in the sixth room, right?"

After all, judging from the alternative perspective and side analysis I just had.

are extremely optimistic about the six-room ...... It's a satirical story like talking on paper.

The "fool" who "talked on paper" was said to be a genius.

This point of thought has become self-evident......

That's right, I am indeed optimistic about Liufang, and I am also full of curiosity about Nalan Wenjing's talent.

But......
