At this time, the Zhao army harassed the Qin army's grain route along the Dan River, and it was already a daily necessity to let the Qin army go to the night shift from Hanwang Mountain every night.

Zhao Kuo stood on Hanwang Mountain and sighed that there were many impurities in this era, but there was no glass and no telescope.

I can only let a few sharp-eyed Zhao Jun stand at the highest place of Hanwang Mountain and take a detailed look at the layout of the Qin army's camp, but in this way, I can only vaguely see the main assembly place of the Qin army, as well as the general direction of the Qin army's activities, but it is extremely difficult to see clearly the place where the Qin army is heavy, as well as the location of the Qin army's marshal's tent. The Qin army had about 150,000 people crossing the river, and the strength was not inferior to the Zhao army that Zhao Kuo could control.

The biggest effect of this observation was that once when the Qin army camp was smoking, Zhao Kuo ordered Han Wangshan and Zhao Jun to rush down early. The Qin army originally made dinner early for the night shift, but was rushed by the Zhao army and immediately organized a defense, but the Zhao army still retreated after harassing it before, so that the Qin army did not capture anything, and had a cold meal.

But Zhao Kuo is not satisfied with the current situation.

At this time, Shu Qi had already led his troops to attack Changping Pass, and Zhao Kuo also sent a part of his men and horses to contain the defenders of Changping Pass from the direction of the old pass.

But the offensive did not go well, and it seemed that the battle of Changping was about to turn into a protracted war.

And Zhao Kuo obviously found that the morale of the Zhao army under his command was a little lower than before. The passage for the ordinary soldiers of Zhao to rise is narrow, and the rewards given by the king of Zhao are obviously insufficient, and the expected military feud has become his own hereditary father's fief, so it is difficult for the Zhao army to continue to exert its combat effectiveness. If it weren't for Zhao Kuo's previous slashing of "Wang Di", Zhao Jun's morale might have been even lower.

At this time, the Qin army also had a large number of soldiers crossing the Dan River and attacking the Dianshang Fortress, the hub connecting the two mountains of the Zhao army.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo also had to guard against the Qin army's sneak attack on Guguan again at this time, so he did not have many troops at hand who could maneuver.

He must find a way to quickly find out where the Qin army's baggage is located in a short period of time, and then use the mobility advantage of the light cavalry at hand, grab a wave and leave, and then falsely report the harvest, and secretly reward these stolen baggage, of course, if you can find the handsome account, the battle of Changping will end early.

Therefore, in the past few days, all the cavalry of the Zhao army has been scattered, and the armored infantry of the Zhao army has also launched many tentative attacks against the Changping battalion.

The task of the light cavalry was to compress the living space of the Qin army's grain transportation team and force the Qin army to speed up the transportation of grain and grass. Previously, due to the geographical advantage, the Qin army was afraid that the Zhao army would condescendingly see the baggage storage place and attack at night, so the grain transportation team divided dozens of different paths into the camp. Under the harassment of the light cavalry, the Qin army had significantly fewer routes to transport grain.

The task of the armored infantry was to make a feint attack on the places where the baggage was suspected to be placed, and test the speed and intensity of the Qin army's reaction.

In the Qin Army's Light Wolf City, Zhao Jun's actions were reported to Baiqi one by one.

The new deputy general Sima Terrier took the lead and said: "I think King Zhao should have given Zhao Kuo an order to let him contain our army's troops in the Changping camp and lay the foundation for them to capture Changping Pass." His purpose may be to use a small force to burn our baggage and increase the pressure on our army. ”

Bai Qi stared at the map and sneered slightly. On the one hand, Zhao Kuo's main force at hand must defend the barriers of the store, on the other hand, he must take into account the safety and traffic of Hanwang Mountain and Daliangshan, and he must harass Changping Pass while sticking to his hometown. The number of mobile troops that can be taken out is about 30,000, and the maximum will not exceed 50,000.

Zhao Kuo has the most, and there is only one chance to gather troops to attack, and this opportunity, if Zhao Kuo is used to flank Changping Pass, then the Qin army of the Changping battalion can attack directly, but surround Zhao Kuo's attacking troops.

His greatest possibility is to attack the Changping camp.

50,000 men attacked a large camp of 150,000 men, and there was no other way to win than to capture the commander or burn the baggage.

The main force of the Qin army actually did not cross the river, and continued to attack the barrier of the store. This part of the Qin army could cross the river at any time to support the Changping battalion.

Bai Qi couldn't see what Zhao Kuo's chances of winning were. Thinking about it, whether Changping Pass can be held is something that Bai Qi cares about.

Even if the Qin State mobilized the whole of Hanoi, it was still unable to fully guarantee the logistics of Changping Pass, and under the almost crazy harassment of Zhao Kuo's light cavalry on the grain route, there was even a situation where dinner could not be supplied in Changping Pass. As a result, Bai Qi killed three generals who were responsible for the smooth passage of grain.

After Zheng Anping arrived in Changping, the situation improved significantly, not because of how high Zheng Anping's level was, but because of his existence, the civil officials who supervised the logistics spent 12 points of effort to collect grain and grass. However, Bai Qi didn't see this, and thought that it was the result of King Qin's supervision in the rear, and Fan Ju naturally wouldn't say it explicitly.

King Qin is the current official, and Fan Ju is the current manager.

"Pass my general order to prepare two places where the baggage is suspected to be placed, with grain and grass on the outside and stones on the inside. One is placed in the most convenient place for transportation, and the most elite men and horses are sent around to defend and set up ambushes. One was placed at the front of the battalion, and the elite defense was also sent to lay ambush soldiers. I think this time, whether Zhao Kuo will believe the intelligence of his cavalry, or will he feel that our army is dark and want to gamble. ”

"No!"

Bai Qi glanced at the adjutant general and continued to order: "Sima Terrier, you do this matter personally, in addition, distribute the baggage to each soldier as much as possible, and each person will be given ten days of food, and the rest will be kept by the army commander in the unit." Zhao Kuo wanted to destroy my baggage, but I scattered my baggage more than the whole army. I will surely make him lose a lot this time. ”

"General, may I ask how to deal with Deputy Marshal Zheng Anping after the last general goes to the front line." Adjutant General Sima Terrier asked.

"This person is from Wei State, and he is Fan Xiang's life-saving benefactor, but he has no heart to die, how can he be worthy of commanding my old Qin soldiers. He brought 20,000 recruits to support this time, and you will pass on my general order to let him bring 20,000 recruits to garrison the rear, and don't let him go to the front line, so as not to make a mistake and miss military affairs. If you usually have any military reports, just pass a copy to him and let him know. ”

Bai Qi asked the Qin army to place the position of the baggage, and as the Qin army reacted violently after being feinted by the Zhao army, it was reported to Zhao Kuo by the Zhao army's scouts.

Zhao Kuo looked at the map, recalled the terrain, and frowned.

The location reported by the scouts was the meeting point of several Qin army grain transportation routes in the Qin army's camp, and the surrounding trees were cut down for fire prevention, which seemed to be very suitable for cavalry assault. The only bad thing is this location, in the depths of the Qin army camp, there are several Qin army barracks outside. If the Qin army had an ambush first, the cavalry that rushed in would most likely be wiped out, and it would be more difficult to harass the Qin army's grain route later.

Zhao Kuo was hesitating whether to send someone to gamble, burned the grain and grass, grabbed the cloth inside and sent it back to the soldiers, Sima Yue came in and reported: "Report, when our army's armored infantry attacked the left side of the Qin army's camp today, the Qin army's reaction was very violent. Qin Jun played under the light this time, and the previous baggage location should be fake. ”

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "According to the terrain, the previous baggage site should be an ambush. ”

"But the location that is now coming out, on the front line, is too strange. As long as our army is willing to put the price, that place can easily be breached by our army. No manager would do such a stupid thing. I see that the previous location has convenient transportation and is fireproof on all sides, which is the real storage place for baggage. Li Yun didn't believe in the place of baggage found later.

"The use of soldiers in vain is often unexpected. He may have seen that the recent actions of our army were to find out where their baggage was, so he specially set up a suspicious formation to attract our army to attack secretly, but put the real baggage on the front line where it was most unlikely to be placed. Sima Yue said, and then he arched his hand towards Zhao Kuo: "Shaojun, I am willing to lead the army to feint and attack the baggage place they released, even if I am trapped, I will never give up." Shaojun can take this opportunity to attack the front line of the Qin army head-on and pull out the real baggage. ”

Zhao Kuo felt that he could not make a choice.

That's the charm of war. Managers are often faced with the ever-changing dynamics of battle, and there are many choices to make at any given moment, each of which may seem like an infinite number of opportunities, but there may be many traps and killings lurking behind. Zhao Kuo doesn't have a full picture golden finger, he really doesn't know how to choose, how to do it, which is where Qin Jun's baggage lies.

Do you say you won't fight? What should I do with my military heart, Zhao Kuo promised himself not to reward him before, and all of them were sent to the soldiers. Now because he was afraid of King Zhao's suspicion, he broke his promise. If we don't find a way to get some seizures and distribute them, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable.

For generals, every order is related to the life and death of tens of millions of soldiers, so every choice must be carefully considered and solemn.

But if you don't make a choice all the time, what's the difference between making the wrong choice?
