Chapter 442: The Qin army gathers
"Two hundred and fifty thousand troops!"
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.
He originally led 70,000 troops to fight the dynasty, and some of them were killed and wounded in several battles.
After the destruction of the dynasty, after adjusting the arrangement, he handed over a piece of soldiers and horses to the deputy general Yang Yuan, who was in charge of the rest of the affairs of the land, so Zhao Tuo only had 50,000 soldiers stationed in Dongyuan City.
Qin Wangzheng recruited 200,000 Qin troops after the autumn harvest as the strength of the war, plus the remaining 50,000 soldiers in Zhao Tuo's hands, which was a full 250,000 troops, which was more than when Li Xin attacked Chu.
And this time, the deputy general of Vaqi appointed by Qin Wangzheng was Tu Sui, the former lieutenant of Dongjun, who was good friends with Zhao Tuo and would not hinder Zhao Tuo.
All the conditions were prepared enough for Zhao Tuo, which was a complete trust, even more than the time when Li Xin was in Chu.
"I will not disappoint the king!"
Zhao Tuo was very moved in his heart.
In the tent of the Qin army camp outside Dongyuan City, Zhao Tuo summoned all the generals under his command and officially began the deployment of this battle of war.
"The army has gathered in Xingyang and is about to leave for Dongjun. I should personally go to command and launch a war against Qi from the direction of Donggun. Of the 50,000 people in Dongyuan, I will only take 20,000, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers will be led by a general and temporarily stationed here."
"When the fighter arrives, this general can lead his troops south across the giant deer, cross the river and enter the Qi land, insert it from the north of the Qi country, and approach the Qi capital Linzi! This is the wonder of this war!"
Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous, and he said the plan in his heart.
"Okay, the general's arrangement is in line with the art of war."
Strategist Li Shi took the lead and praised with a smile.
The art of war clouds, with the right fit, with the odd victory.
The battlefield situation is in an infinite change, and it is naturally impossible for the Qin army to concentrate all its forces on the frontal battlefield, and reserve a part of its troops in other places as surprise soldiers, which can derive endless fighters.
Hearing General Zhao say this, all the generals in the tent nodded one after another, and excitement flashed in their eyes.
Especially the three generals Shijian, Zhao Guang and Meng Tian.
Under Zhao Tuo, with the strongest ability, the highest title and rank of these three generals, the person who led the strange soldiers who stayed here chose one of the three.
Meng Tian has a majestic body, blazing eyes, and a straight waist.
Zhao Guang's face was calm, but the longing in his eyes was difficult to hide.
Shima looked at Zhao Tuo with a soft gaze.
Zhao Tuo's gaze swept over the faces of the three people, and he thought about it in his heart.
He spoke, "The highest rank in this place is General Meng, and General Meng will command 30,000 soldiers."
As soon as these words came out, a flash of surprise flashed in Meng Tian's eyes, he thought that this kind of great achievement of leading an army alone, Zhao Tuo would hand it over to his original old subordinates Shima or Zhao Guang.
After all, in the battle of the Vadai, he was promoted to the title, but these two people were not promoted, if Zhao Tuo handed over this important task to them, it would be reasonable, but he didn't expect it to fall on his head in the end.
Let me lead the army alone.
General Zhao, you really know people!
Meng Tian was excited, and immediately got up and said, "The last general, Meng Tian, received the order, and this time he will live up to the general's trust!"
Zhao Tuo smiled and nodded.
Let Meng Tian command the troops, from a public point of view, because Meng Tian has shown strong military talent and quality in these battles, which is stronger than Zhi Shima and Zhao Guang, and there is a trend of latecomers taking the lead, so that his leadership is more secure.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
It's a win-win situation, so why not do it?
Seeing Meng Tian receiving his order, a flash of disappointment flashed in Zhao Guang's eyes.
Shiruma was still smiling, he didn't care, and he even wanted to be with the general more than leading an army alone.
Of course, Zhao Tuo will not treat them badly, where hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting on the frontal battlefield, why is it difficult to make meritorious contributions?
After arranging the curious soldiers, Zhao Tuo did not delay any longer, and immediately led 20,000 soldiers to pull out the camp and go south to Dongjun, preparing to join the army.
The black flag of the Qin army fluttered, like a black dragon heading towards the south.
But when this Qin army arrived in Handan as it traveled south, it happened to encounter an army heading north.
Outside the city of Handan, the winter wind is howling.
Zhao Tuo slapped his horse and stepped forward, looking at General Qin standing on the chariot in front of him in a daze.
The appearance of that man reminded him of many, many things.
Zhao Tuo arched his hand and said softly, "General Li."
Li Xin was standing in the car, his sideburns were like dyed snow, and he looked at the young general in front of him, with the same complicated expression.
But soon, Li Xin laughed: "Okay Zhao Tuo, this time you have to work hard to destroy the Qi Kingdom. If I return victoriously on the day of him, I will invite you into my house and drink bitterly."
Li Xin's sudden boldness made Zhao Tuo slightly stunned, and then, a smile bloomed on Zhao Tuo's face.
"It's a deal! Zhao Tuo waited for General Li to triumph, and I drank General Li's wine!"
Zhao Tuo's eyes were like torches, and Li Xin's eyes were met.
The two didn't say anything more, and all their emotions were just silent.
Li Xin led his army north to conquer Liaodong, and Zhao Tuo led his army south to prepare to destroy Qi.
The two armies are staggered.
Zhao Tuo, who was heading south, couldn't help but look back and look north, and whispered, "General Li, finally let go."
Li Xin, who was going north, couldn't help but look south and muttered, "Zhao Tuo, it turned out to be you."
……
The twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Qin, November.
Zhao Tuo's department crossed the river from Liyangjin on the north bank of the Yellow River to Baima, and then all the way to Puyang, the Dongjun Governor's Office.
Here, it has long been covered by flags, spears and halberds are like forests, and the Qin army camps that cannot be seen at a glance are all over the city.
"General Zhao!"
This time, Tu Sui, the deputy general of the war, led a group of generals to greet him.
"General Tu!"
Zhao Tuo also stepped forward to return the salute.
After the two exchanged pleasantries slightly, Tu Sui and Zhao Tuo walked forward.
"Brother Tu, I have already shown the head of that Chen Yu to the public on behalf of the land, and he and Han Cheng, who was torn apart, were the masterminds of the previous assassination in Dongjun."
Zhao Tuo spoke in a low voice, and he noticed that Tu Sui's face had a large sunken scar, which was the scar left by the Assassin Chen Yu during the last battle to destroy Chu.
"Hahaha, well done. His mother's dog assassin dared to assassinate Naigong, which means that he was arrested by you. If it falls into the hands of Naigong, what is the head of the owl, Naigong will definitely cut off his two heads."
Tu Sui laughed, and after laughing, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the scar on his face, and teased, "But don't say it, after having this scar, I feel that I have become a lot more powerful. As long as Naigong is angry now, as long as he glares at those eyes, no one dares to look at Naigong anymore, hahaha!"
"Brother Tu is really a general."
Zhao Tuo smiled and praised, Tu Sui is really open-minded.
……
Just when the 200,000 troops of the Qin State went to Dongjun, and the Qin general Zhao Tuo led his troops south from Hengshan County.
The news also reached the court of Qi State.
"Isn't the Qin State going to conquer Liaodong? How can you garrison troops in Dongjun?"
"That Zhao Tuo also led his troops south!"
"According to our scouts, the vicinity of East County has been cordoned off, and it is impossible to find out what is going on. But judging from the sporadic news, the Qin State used more than 150,000 troops this time, and even reached 200,000!"
"200,000 Qin troops! Oh my God, what are the Qin people going to do?"
"Qin State...... I want to destroy Qi!"
Just when the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State were shocked by the facts in front of them.
Da Sima Tian Chong's face turned red after hearing the news that Zhao Tuo led his troops south.
Since you Zhao Tuo don't go to Liaodong to fight the Hu people, why did you write to me to ask for the method of controlling Hu?
