85. Exchange cities for food
Gao Ping closed.
"Report, there are a large number of Qin army scouts outside the pass in Duanshi City. But after seeing a large number of them surrendering troops out of the customs, most of them dispersed directly. ”
Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, this situation was expected.
The main force of the Qin army is in Changping, and the troops left behind in the rear are relatively weak and small, and the number is also small.
The Zhao army was gathering, accompanied by hatred for the Wei people.
The battle was won. But I couldn't go home.
This is because of what.
Because he was stabbed in the back by the Wei people.
Because King Zhao did not put any effort into diplomacy at all.
No one in the Zhao army blamed Zhao Kuo for abandoning the entire Changping at that time, and even set fire to cross the river, and the whole army attacked the Qin army.
Because everyone knows that if the Qin army is not defeated, then Ben is now suffering from the enemy, and the situation is even worse.
Xinlingjun is not stupid and sweet.
After two days of negotiations, Xinlingjun was only willing to provide hay for the war horses to eat, and at most some sorghum in exchange for Guangwolf City.
He also asked Zhao Kuo to provide them with a batch of war horses for the Wei army.
Warhorses that have been fed human blood.
The wounded soldiers on the battlefield who are not saved will be mended, and then the horses will be made to drink blood.
It's like drinking water.
In this way, when the war horse goes to the battlefield for the second time, when it is thirsty after running violently, it will subconsciously trample on the enemy army, and then drink blood to quench its thirst.
This was originally Zhao Guo's unique secret book, but it was slowly known by Wei State.
Wei lacked horses, and even more so war horses.
But the deeper purpose of this is to reduce the mobility of the Zhao army and prevent the Zhao army from launching a surprise attack on Light Wolf City.
Shin Lingjun was not even willing to take a piece of corn out in exchange for it.
He did the backstab himself, of course, he would think that Zhao Kuo might also be sending him to the city by fraud.
But the temptation to surrender without a fight, the temptation to take the city without much effort, is too great.
The lack of food for the Zhao army is obvious, and if the Zhao army is forced to be in a hurry, the Wei army will not be able to please him.
These Zhao soldiers had seen the tragic scenes of the soldiers of the Qin army who surrendered because of lack of food, and after killing horses for food, they would definitely leave their corpses next to these Wei soldiers who did not allow them to go home.
By the way, take Wei Jun to hell together.
Therefore, Xinlingjun intends to provide a large amount of war horse feed in exchange for Light Wolf City, as well as war horses.
The exchange of war horses and hay took place on the banks of the Dan River. Subsequently, the Wei army will be stationed in the Light Wolf City.
The advantage of this is that even if Zhao Jun is deceiving himself, then the Wei army actually only loses some hay that is difficult to use as military food, and does not enhance the logistics capacity of Zhao Jun.
In addition, the Wei army begged for war horses that could be used as military rations at any time, which weakened the logistics potential of the Zhao army in disguise.
Who can leave a name in history, who is good to get along with.
When Xinlingjun really sat on the Light Wolf City, sitting on the Hu bed that Bai Qi had sat on before.
He couldn't even believe that things were going so well.
In the past few decades, the Wei State has fought for many years, but it has been defeated repeatedly and its morale is low.
Although the King of Wei has secretly trained a group of heavy infantry according to the standards of Wei Wushu in recent years.
But it is generally believed that the Wei army is a group of soft persimmons.
No one is optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Wei army, and even the Wei army itself may not think that he can do it.
When the expedition was made, the Wei army was generally pessimistic and did not have a strong desire to fight.
Xin Lingjun previously backstabbed and won Changping, which was the biggest victory of the Wei army in foreign warfare in the past few decades.
Although the camp of Changping and the side of Hanwang Mountain were empty.
However, exchanging hay for Wolf City is a stroke of genius that no one in the Wei army can think of.
If it can continue like this, the Wei army even wants to occupy the Hulunbuir steppe first, and then mow the grass full-time, and change the entire Central Plains.
It's so profitable.
The prestige of Xinling Jun is rising.
He felt that he had come to negotiate again, and he was much more respectful.
"Our army plans to give up Gugu City and Duwei City again, and the whole army will continue to advance westward and kill all the Qin people." Lian Po said.
"Zhao Kuo is doing this, aren't you afraid that King Zhao will blame him afterwards and kill his head." Xin Lingjun narrowed his eyes and stared at Lian Po.
Lian Po snorted coldly and said, "The Qin army killed more than 200,000 of my robes, which is already an undying revenge. Our army hated that we couldn't go all the way to Xianyang and kill all the Qin people to relieve the hatred in our hearts. ”
"Then why did you let the captives go?"
"Our army is short of food. Otherwise, you still need to give up the city in your hands. Our army doesn't have many horses anymore, and if Xinlingjun brings hay over this time, our army doesn't want it. ”
"Your army must still have the idea of letting the captives help you clear the way. Ma Fuzi drove the rout to attack in the Changping camp, which caused the Qin army camp to roar, but it spread all over the banks of the Yellow River. The defeat of Bai Qi this time will soon spread all over the Quartet. Xin Lingjun said proudly.
"I and Qin Dog, we don't share the sky! As long as there is grain and grass, our army is willing to go all the way to the west and continue to attack Qin. ”
"I'm afraid that if you don't attack Qin, you have no other choice. If the grain and grass do not continue, you will not be able to hold those cities. ”
"Then Xinlingjun can try, we will die and the net will be broken. Our army will not sit idly by! ”
Seeing that there was a tendency to collapse, Xin Lingjun couldn't help but smile and said, "General Lian shouldn't be so angry." Without the king's order, it is a great taboo to exchange the city for grain without authorization.
I can't believe it, this is what Zhao Kuo of your Zhao State Sect did. That's why I'm tempting. ”
"Isn't Wolf City alone enough to prove the sincerity of our army!"
"Enough. Enough. I am willing to give up the grain and grass that can consume half a year's army of 200,000 in exchange for the three cities that your army now has on hand. How is it? The smile on Xin Lingjun's face was like a crocodile seeing its prey.
In his opinion, the Zhao army had just defeated Bai Qi in the field battle, and completely defeated the Qin army and completed the transformation.
Such a Zhao army is very difficult to deal with.
It is very cost-effective to use grain and grass to send the Zhao army to the west to find trouble with the Qin people.
Moreover, Xin Lingjun even disdained Zhao Kuo very much in his heart.
thinks that Zhao Kuo has no political acumen at all.
Under the current situation, if King Zhao wants these troops to come back, he must cede the city.
Originally, these Light Wolf City, Gugu City, Duwei City, and Gaopingguan could all be used as bargaining chips for the Zhao people and pushed to the negotiating table.
But now, Zhao Kuo actually wants to exchange these cities for grain and grass.
Xinling-kun was almost crazy with joy.
I only used such a small amount of grain and grass to dispel most of the bargaining chips on the negotiation table of Zhao State.
So Zhao Guo, do you want to take a few more cities in exchange?
The corners of Shinling-kun's mouth. He smiled smugly.
Outside the Light Wolf City.
Lian Po had a calm face, rode his horse, and walked far, far away until the Wei army could not see him at all.
He suddenly reined in his horse, as if he had been holding it for a long time, and clutched his stomach and laughed.
"Wei Wuji even said that we were going to drive the Qin army to rout and attack the Duan clan. I didn't think of this! Hahaha, when I was shocked, Wei Wuji thought he had guessed correctly. He still looks like he has a wisdom bead in his hand, hahahahaha! ”
