Chapter 292: National Strength Confrontation
"Could it be that you think the general is an old turtle in the pool?" neck
"Holding a heavy army and not thinking of forging ahead, but shrinking back to protect oneself, according to the future, this strategy is really ridiculous! The Admiral would never do that!"
After Qiang Qi finished speaking, he laughed again, and the laughter was very hearty.
He has a grudge against Zhao Tuo for a long time, and he was praised by him just now, so it is not good to make trouble for no reason.
At this moment, when Zhao Tuo offered this stupid strategy, he laughed at it, which can be regarded as expressing the resentment in his chest.
Hearing Qiang Qi say this, the two generals couldn't help laughing.
Because the strategy that Zhao Tuo said is really funny.
Wang Jian was ordered by the King of Qin to lead 600,000 troops to attack Chu, which was menacing, and had the potential to flatten the Chu State in one fell swoop, and even Chu Ling Yin Xiangyan could only accumulate troops in fear and protect himself on the front line of Huaiyang. neck
Qin is strong and Chu is weak, in this case, you don't take advantage of the fact that the army is gathered and the military heart is available, and go down to the Chu State with a drum, but instead propose to defend first and then attack, and build a wall to protect yourself, this idea is too ridiculous, right?
Please, our Qin army is the attacker!
In the laughter, Feng Wuxue felt that something was wrong, although he also felt that Zhao Tuo's strategy was quite negative and ridiculous. But as far as he knows, Zhao Tuo is known as the king's favor, and he has the talent of a soldier, so it is impossible to let go without it, and I am afraid that there is another deep meaning in this.
Feng Wuxue glanced at Zhao Tuo, and saw that he was sneering at Qiang, his expression was calm, and there was even a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
When I turned my head again, I saw Wang Jian sitting on the main seat with a calm face, and his face was a little blue.
Feng Wuxue made it clear for the most part, General Wang, it seems that he likes this style of play.
Sure enough, in the midst of bursts of laughter, I heard General Wang Jian cough and snort coldly: "Zhao Tuo's strategy, in line with the situation at this time, according to the way of the art of war, is very good. I would have thought it was a good idea." neck
Wang Qian's words fell, and the laughter in the tent stopped abruptly.
Qiang Qi opened his mouth wide, and instinctively squeezed out two dry laughs of "quack" in his throat, and he looked at Wang Jian with an incredible expression.
"General!"
Qiang Qi shouted: "Where is this Zhao Tuo's strategy, our army is 600,000, and the Chu army is only 300,000 or 400,000, and the army can definitely defeat the Chu people, at that time, as long as Xiang Yan is defeated, our army can drive straight in, sweep the Chu land, and within a year, we can destroy the Chu State and return to the king!"
Wang Jian said coldly: "The fighter plane has not yet arrived."
"Although the number of our army is large, the number of Chu army is also quite large. And the Chu people are waiting for work, and the soldiers will fight bravely if they have the heart of mourning, and even if our army can win, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, so how can we talk about the merit of complete victory. As Zhao Tuo said, the way of the art of war is 'to be invincible first, so that the enemy can be victorious, our army first takes defense as an attack, and when the Chu army is slack, the fighter is revealed, and then the opportunity can be moved, and then the victory is won, so it is a safe method."
Seeing Wang Qian's serious expression, the generals thought that the general himself was also a prudent person, and it was normal to choose this strategy of defending first and then attacking, so they didn't say anything more. neck
Only Qiang Qi was not convinced, if this strategy was proposed by others, then it would be fine, but it was offered by Zhao Tuo, then he would have something to say.
I saw Qiang Qi say loudly, "Defend and defend! Our army is 600,000 people, and we spend millions of stone on grain and grass in a month!"
….
"According to what Zhao Tuo said, we will not attack, but take a defensive position in Chu and fight against the Chu army, what fighters are waiting for, how long will it take?"
"If the fighters don't show up, won't our army have to keep wearing? At that time, how much grain and straw will our army consume! Such a huge loss, have you ever thought about it!"
In the end, Qiang's eyes widened, stared at Zhao Tuo, and asked sharply.
Talk, talk, why are your eyes so big?
Zhao Tuo complained in his heart, and when he saw Wang Jian smiling and silent, he knew that the other party wanted him to explain the reason. neck
Zhao Tuo cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "What General Qiang said is wrong, our army of 600,000 people consumes millions of stone of grain per month, so shouldn't the Chu army not consume it?" They have an army of nearly 400,000 men, and they consume much less food and grass than our army every month!"
"I'm Qin
Cattle plough the fields, and the method of manure was adopted in the middle of last year, and the grain production in Xingyang Aocang was already full of grain, and in addition to the grain and grass transferred from Bashu, Hedong, Hanoi, and other places, it was enough to feed our army for nearly a year."
"Not to mention that spring ploughing has passed, my Qin State has implemented the method of manure in the whole country this year, and when the autumn harvest comes, there will definitely be a bumper harvest across the country, and there will only be more grain, even if it is consumed until next year's autumn harvest, then there will be no problem!"
The generals who Zhao Tuo said nodded their heads, for the Qin State, the food is indeed enough.
Last year, Li Xin invaded Chu, and the Qin State had piled up grain in major warehouses in advance, which was enough to support the food of 200,000 troops for a year.
Who knew that Li Xin had been defeated in just a few months, and most of the grain in the warehouse was useless, coupled with the continuous transfer and replenishment of the follow-up, the Qin army was not short of food at least in the short term.
Zhao Tuo raised his head and continued: "On the other hand, looking at that Jing Chu, as far as the last general knows, his country is not only much worse than my Qin State in terms of agricultural affairs, but also has a large number of feudal monarchs, and most of the grain in the country is in the hands of the feudal monarchs in various places, and there is not much grain in the treasury of Chu State." neck
"This time the Chu State sent troops, and the clan soldiers of those clans were supplied by their respective feudal lords. In such a situation, even if the number of Chu troops is smaller than ours, it will definitely not be able to consume our army, and even before the food is exhausted, those feudal lords will shout to collect their troops in order to protect their own savings, which is also one of the fighters."
"What's more, although our army has come from afar, grain and grass need to be transported thousands of miles. But in fact, on the Huaiyang side, our army can rely on the chasm water transportation to transport grain from Xingyang. The headquarters of General Cai Yang is backed by Rushui and transports grain from Yangzhai and Xinzheng in Yingchuan County."
"Our Qin army transported grain by boat, and it went down the river, which not only had a short transportation time, but also consumed very little. The state of Chu has no advantage of water transportation, and cannot transport against the current, so it can only rely on cattle, horses, and manpower to transfer it, and safely consume energy to pass our army?"
"Therefore, this battle is based on defense, and the Chu army will definitely not be able to consume our Qin army. We only need to defend ourselves at this wall, and we will already win half of the victory, and when the Chu army runs out of food and grass, or there is a problem inside, that is when our army has achieved full success!"
"Isn't it beautiful that such a strategy only consumes grain and straw, does not damage the soldiers, and does not have the risk of overturning, so that the enemy can be destroyed in one fell swoop and Jing Chu destroyed?"
Zhao Tuo finished speaking in one breath, and his words were passionate, which shocked all the generals in the tent.
Because the strategy in his words has gone beyond the battlefield and focused on the overall situation. neck
….
Don't engage in any conspiracy and tricks, fight against Chu in a dignified manner, and directly use national strength to consume the other party.
Not only did the generals fall into deep thought, but even Qiang was speechless in shock.
"Zhao Tuo's strategy, great goodness."
Wang Jian stroked his palms and smiled, and said to the generals: "The strategy offered by Zhao Tuo is the strategy of the soldiers, the strategy of the heyday, is it too much better to take risks and win in bloody battles? Our army will follow Zhao Tuo's strategy this time."
As soon as Wang Jian said, all the generals bowed their heads and made promises.
Qiang gritted his teeth and blushed.
Zhao Tuo's policy is reasonable and well-founded, and it is a method of total victory, even the generals and generals have approved, although he is not angry in his heart, he can only bow his head and promise. neck
But Qiang still felt that they obviously had a numerical advantage, but they still fought this battle so aggrieved, how unhappy.
"Old turtle!"
"Little turtle!"
Qiang Qi scolded fiercely in his heart, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Now that the strategy of this attack has been decided, it is up to the generals to finalize the specific operation and deployment.
After that, Wang Jian let the generals go down and left Zhao Tuo alone.
"Your strategy just now seems to be for the old man?" neck
Wang Jian looked at the young man in front of him, the other party was like a worm in his stomach just now, and every sentence spoke to his heart, this kind of thing is by no means accidental.
Wang Jian was sure that this Zhao Tuo's strategy was dedicated to himself, and if he was a different commander, he would definitely not say this.
Zhao Tuo laughed, "That's what the general said. The strategy of the last general just now is actually the general's tactics to destroy Zhao in the past."
Wang Jian was stunned, and he remembered.
A few years ago, Wang Jian led the Qin army to attack Zhao, but he couldn't defeat Zhao's general Li Mu, so he simply took the soldiers to shrink back to protect himself, built a wall and fortress defense, and confronted Li Mu for half a year.
It wasn't until he bribed Zhao Xiang Guo Kai and finally killed Li Mu with a discordant strategy that he found an opportunity to destroy Zhao in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Wang Jian remembered, Zhao Tuo said in a low voice: "In addition to the consumption of national strength just now, our army can also use the trick to divide the king of Chu and Xiang Yanjun and ministers, so that they are suspicious of each other. neck
Wang Jian smiled.
He looked at the young general in front of him, and thought to himself that if this kid came out, his old king would be able to enjoy his old age in peace.
Wang Jian walked over, patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Good Zhao Tuo, you have already won the essence of the old man's battlefield battle."
Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at Wang Jian at each other.
One old and one young, two Qin generals.
In this manager's tent, there was a tacit low laugh.
