7. Inspect the old passes

In fact, there are many coincidences and uncertainties in the matter of beheading Wang Yu.

Time went back to a few days ago, when the Zhao army was fully contracted, Sima Yue asked Zhao Kuo to move into the tent of the former Han Wang Mountain.

After all, the fortifications there are complete, the vision is good, and it is the handsome tent of the previous Lian Po, the living conditions are good, and even the food can be served with a tripod instead of a helmet.

But Zhao Kuoke did not agree to such an arrangement. Although he doesn't know how to fight, he has seen the Three Kingdoms.

Isn't it because he ran to the mountains and was stationed in the mountains, but he lost the street pavilion.

I can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo refused Le Sima Yue's kindness and went directly to the bottom of the mountain to station. Zhao people are still martial, and the army has the tradition of putting the handsome tent in front, so Zhao Kuo set up the handsome tent behind the store barrier between Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, at the foot of Hanwang Mountain.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Kuo not only strengthened the barriers on the store, but also added several barriers around the tent.

There is a rectangular laterite platform in front of the shop barrier, six miles from east to west, four miles from north to south, the surface is broken, the local people call it laterite slope, the terrain is relatively high, and it is an important place for the traffic of the two mountains, in order to ensure the safety of his handsome tent, Zhao Kuo invested the most elite heavy infantry here as a defensive force.

That's not all, he also plans to take his own army, that is, five thousand light cavalry, to practice the escape route.

If everything is foreseen, it will be wasted if it is not prepared.

Of course, his reasons are high-sounding.

"The generals will listen to the order and report carefully, the Qin army may sneak attack the rear of our army, and it is necessary to guard against it." Zhao Kuo said after gathering his generals.

"Qin Gou still dares to want to sneak attack the rear of our army, what a circle this has to be, the road is difficult to walk, it is all dangerous, the cliffs are steep, and there are not too many people. Even if they descended from the sky, they wouldn't be able to bring much dry food. Our army is defending the city, and they are starving to death. ”

"That is, when the time comes, we will send reinforcements to attack behind the back, and those Qin dogs who come will definitely go and never return."

And the people in the tent will be full of talk.

Zhao Kuo, who is familiar with the terrain, knows that although the terrain of the Bailishi Great Wall in the rear is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are also some paths that can be bypassed to the rear to attack, but they are all sheep's intestine paths, interspersed with some waterways, and it is difficult for the idle army to march.

But the opponent is white, he can turn the impossible into a possibility, turn decay into a magical killing god, and be an opponent with him, not to mention offense and defense.

Even to maintain the back road, you need to be fully prepared.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo coughed lightly, and the tent fell silent.

"Qin Gou is cunning, you can't guard against it. And then those who cannot be controlled, rush to their emptiness; Those who retreat and cannot be chased, and they are not able to reach quickly. Do you understand? Zhao Kuo asked.

The generals shook their heads.

Zhao Kuo clapped his hands happily and said: "What I said is that no matter whether you attack or defend, you must take the initiative." Our supplies are all sent from the rear, and the rear is unstable, how can the soldiers in front fight. I have made up my mind, where is General Feng Ting. ”

A middle-aged man came out in response, this person is a native of Shangdang, and he is also the Taishou of the previous Korean Shangdang, before the king of Han decided to cede Shangdang to the Qin State. Feng Ting refused, and led Shangdang County to surrender to Zhao, which led to the Battle of Changping.

"General Feng Ting is a local and familiar with the terrain, why don't you take the people from your headquarters to help me go to Changping Pass, check the city defense, and replenish the ordnance."

"Yes."

Zhao Kuo knew that Feng Ting was a local, and he had a strong anti-Qin consciousness, so it was much more appropriate for him to go to Changpingguan than to go to it himself.

If you kill yourself, you won't take a step into Changping.

"I'll take my 5,000 pro-army light cavalry, as well as the doormen, to go to Guguan in person."

There are three ways to attack the ancient pass, one is from Changping Pass, and the other is from the place where Zhao Kuo is now, and goes up along the Xiaodongcang River. The distance of the third one is very far, you have to start from Hanoi and go around a large circle along the river valley, and the road is really dangerous, and in some places there is not even a place to stay.

It's much safer than being on the front lines.

"General, you are not here to command, what if Qin Gou attacks."

"What to do? Chop them up. If they attack Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, how can you be condescending and unable to hold it. If they attack the bulwark of the shop, you let the heavy infantry resist it, and the archers and infantry on Hanwang Mountain will flank them. Be careful, don't be lured out of the hole by the Qin army. ”

Zhao Kuo pointed to the map and explained bitterly.

"Han Wangshan wants to select 20,000 mobile men and horses, responsible for supporting the barriers on the store, as well as ensuring the smooth flow of the grain road. The rest of the troops, no matter how the sky falls, do not come out to accept it without my orders, even if the other side surrenders. Defend in place, remember, harden the village, and fight in a dumb battle. Whoever loses his position, don't come back, and kill himself on the spot. ”

"No!" The generals agreed.

Zhao Kuo began to enjoy the feeling of forbidding the stars to hold the moon, but as soon as he thought that the opposite side was Bai Qi, he immediately retracted the egg.

He didn't even have the courage to face Bai Qi.

"I'll come back after an inspection of Guguan, and during this time, if someone needs to decide on military affairs, all of them will be handed over to Li Yun."

This appointment surprised the generals.

It's not that Li Yun doesn't have enough qualifications. Li Yun was Lian Po's general, loyal and honest, and extremely obedient to orders, and was one of the few Lian Po generals who did not show any paddling after Zhao Kuo took over the military power.

But this person's father was the prince of the Qin State, called Li Ji, and his grandfather even served as the imperial historian of the Qin State. Due to the political turmoil in the Qin State, Li Ji moved to the Zhao State with his people.

Because his ancestors belonged to the Qin State, Li Yun was not reused in the army.

But after Zhao Kuo chatted with this person before, he knew that this person had a young brother who was now serving in the army in the north of Zhao State, named Li Mu.

Li Mu doesn't know others, but Zhao Kuo knows, this is the fierce general of Zhao State who is as famous as Lian Po, and the first Carry of Zhao State at the end of the Warring States Period.

Li Mu's elder brother, no matter how much water he has, he will not be better than his own water, so he will not pit his own army into the pit.

What's more, even if Li Yunshui is gone, he is still in his hometown, and he will have run away by then, what are you afraid of.
