"Where both father and son are in the army, the father will leave the son, and all the brothers in the family will be in the army, and the brother will return to the younger brother. The only son in the family returned. Those who have been stationed for more than one year and wish to return can return. ”

Relying on Zhao Kuo's tearful performance, and the power given to Zhao Kuo by the King of Zhao before, the retreat of the Zhao army did not appear to be panicked, and the troops were reorganized according to Zhao Kuo's wishes.

Since the Changping area still belongs to the Zhao State, with the help of the system, Zhao Kuo knows the terrain here well.

The mountainous terrain here is predominant, and the light infantry and archers are extremely advantageous, and the heavy infantry can also play a great role in some special conditions.

Only the cavalry, except for strong mobility, rarely has a chance to make a final decision.

It is even more difficult for charioteers to play a role on such a battlefield with complex terrain.

Grain and grass are also wasted.

Zhao Kuo simply only left 200,000 soldiers for himself, most of them were auxiliaries in charge of logistics, the rest were basically infantry and archers, he didn't want any charioteers, and less than 3,000 light cavalry.

You know, horses eat a lot more than people.

In this way, the grain and grass can only support at least three months to more than half a year.

He originally planned not to have light cavalry, but later thought that the light cavalry would at least take him away when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, so the five thousand light cavalry became his own army.

On the east bank of the Dan River, at the foot of Hanwang Mountain.

"This is going to rescue Handan, and it all depends on Brother Cong." Zhao Kuo pulled the reins of Zhao Cong's war horse from the seat, and the depression on his face could be seen by anyone.

Zhao Congyi arched his hand and said: "Ma Fuzi is relieved, when I lead the troops back to help and kill Wei Gou, I will immediately bring the troops to help you." ”

What he said was just a meaning, after all, the tiger talisman or something was all in Zhao Kuo's place, and the deputy generals under Zhao Kuo were responsible for leading the troops back.

Zhao Cong could not command these armies

Of course, Zhao Kuo himself has to stick here.

He had already made a calculation, stabilized the rear, and learned from Lian Po to defend it.

It's not that Zhao Guo has no grain and grass, so he doesn't need so many soldiers, the grain and grass are not enough to eat, and he also saves Zhao Guo a bunch of young and middle-aged laborers.

What should I do if I can't hold so many places with few soldiers?

Then don't have so many places.

The first military god of the ages said that if the land is lost, the people and the land will be lost; If people lose land, people and land will survive.

The Dan River defense line is so long, there are always narrow places in the river, and you can smuggle it everywhere, after Lian Po retreated to the Dan River defense line, he relied on Hanwang Mountain and Daliangshan to establish a defense system.

Hanwang Mountain is where Lian Po's command center is located, and Da Liangshan is where Zhao Jun reserves grain and grass.

To the west of Hanwang Mountain is Changping City and Daying, and in the rear is Changping Pass, and then to the west is the cliff.

The side of Changping Pass facing the Qin army is dangerous, but the side facing Zhao is extremely flat, as if it is a fortress of Zhao made in heaven.

From a geographical point of view, Changping City is like a bowl, the bowl has four edges, the cliff in the west, the Changping Pass in the rear, the Hanwang Mountain in the east, and the Dan River in front.

For generals who are familiar with the terrain, as long as the Changping Pass is not broken, then Changping City is as stable as Mount Tai.

If the Qin army breaks through the Dan River to attack Changping, then the Zhao army of Hanwangshan can attack on the side, and the Changping Pass in the rear is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Great Grain Mountain and supplies are cut off, Changping Pass can also provide logistics supplies for the Zhao army.

But now Zhao Kuo doesn't see it that way.

In his opinion, Bai Qi was now sitting at the table, looking at Zhao Jun in the bowl with a smile, ready to eat it in one bite.

The so-called natural danger, Xiongguan, is used to deal with Wang Di. For Bai Qi, there is no difference between these places and flat land.

Don't go into the bowl yourself.

"Pass on my military order, move the camp east to the east of Hanwang Mountain, west of Daliang Mountain, and use the original store barriers and stone gate barriers as a starting point to establish layers of barriers."

These two places are the front of the defense system that Zhao Kuo has established by giving full play to his understanding of the terrain.

Because these two places just echo the armies of various places, and they are the hub of transportation between Hanwang Mountain and Daliangshan.

Of course, the most important thing is that behind these two barriers is a relatively complete gallop road, in case the war does not go well, Zhao Kuo can go all the way back from here and escape back to Zhao State.

As for the original Changping City, Zhao Kuo also had a plan.

In addition to the four dangerous barriers of arrowheads, three armies, Qijia Yuan, and siege of the city, Zhao Kuo actually asked his subordinates to burn all the Changping camps and burned them directly to the ground.

Don't you want to eat, I'll help you wipe the bottom of the bowl clean, but I won't give you a piece of meat, let you lick the bottom of the bowl.

Zhao Kuo had this plan in his heart.

His arrangement made Sima Yue under him frightened, this is not only a retreat, but also abandons more than half of the Danhe defense line, which is more ruthless than Lian Po.

He was Zhao Kuo's henchman, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to advise: "Shaojun, this arrangement, instead of attacking according to the king's will, he also abandoned the territory, and the king blamed it, but it was troublesome." ”

Zhao Kuo smiled and replied: "The main force of our army has gone to the rescue, and if you are as defended as before, the troops are stretched." It is better to carry out a key defense of key positions, and I personally lead the cavalry to respond. ”

In fact, Zhao Kuo's idea is very simple, isn't it that in history, he was wiped out in Changping. Then if you don't go to Changping, you won't have it. Not only don't go, I don't want the entire Changping City, I'll give it to you Bai Qi.

As long as he ensures that the back road is unblocked, he can run away at any time, as for dealing with King Zhao.

He also calculated.

"Sima Yue, there are a few henchmen of our Zhao family."

"Returning to Shaojun, below me, there are hundreds of people who follow the army, all of whom are people who can shed blood for Shaojun. If Shaojun wants us to assassinate Wang Di, the commander of the Qin army, we will definitely die without killing Wang Di, and we will never look back. ”

"No, no, no." Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "You find a few credible ones and help me send a few letters to Handan." By the way, the rewards that the king gave me before are still there. ”

"Shaojun rest assured, according to your orders, the rewards will be a lot, all of them will be placed in your private treasury, and not a single penny will be distributed, and all of them will be sent home for you after the war."

"Send them all to me, don't keep a penny. You let the disciples personally distribute it, and make sure that the reward is distributed to each soldier, and that your reward and the reward of the pro-army cavalry, I will personally distribute it. ”

What Zhao Kuo thought in his heart was that if he wanted to run away, the reward would definitely not be able to be taken away, so it was better to keep it for the soldiers. And the light cavalry who is responsible for taking him on the run must be rewarded in person to earn impression points.

He didn't think about it at all. If he does this, what will King Zhao of Handan think of him.

The boss buys the hearts of the army, at best, to improve morale, but when the king is suspicious, will this behavior be regarded as rebellion?

However, Zhao Kuo dared to withdraw the army without authorization, and of course he would not care about these things.

"Yes." Sima Yue replied extremely solemnly.

After leaving the camp, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "In the past, the young monarch was a general, and he was facing eastward, and the military officials did not dare to look up. I thought that the young monarch and the ancestor father and son had different aspirations, but today I saw that the young monarch was quite fatherly, and he received a reward without leaving a penny. ”
