Chapter 495: Rebel Vanguard
The three of them who received Lin Ze's military order immediately proposed to retire, intending to familiarize themselves with the newly arrived army as soon as possible and prepare for the next big battle.
After the three of them left for a quarter of an hour, Han Xin turned back and said to Lin Ze, "Meet the military advisor." ”
Han Xin has always been extremely cautious about the matter of conquest, and this time Lin Ze handed over the task of the frontal battle to him, which made him even more cautious.
Lin Ze's presence today was a good opportunity for Han Xin to get information, so he would turn back halfway.
Lin Ze didn't seem surprised that Han Xin was going and returning, but asked gently, "But there is something to find me?"
Han Xin's face was calm, and he bowed to Lin Ze and said, "The military advisor is wise. Dare to ask the military advisor, what is the situation of the rebels now, and what is the situation of our army?"
Lin Ze glanced at Han Xin with appreciation, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, not being defeated in a hundred battles, and fully collecting information before the war is the necessary quality of the heirs of the soldiers.
Lin Ze naturally did not hide this, and said: "The rebels in the land of Kwantung are headed by Chen She, and a total of four kingdoms of Zhang Chu, Zhao, Qi, and Chu have been established. According to the spies' report, more than a month ago, Chen Shi sent an envoy to unite the three countries and will jointly send troops to attack our army. ”
"It is preliminarily estimated that Zhao, Qi, and Chu will each send 200,000 troops to ally with Chen She's army, and for the rebels, this battle is of great importance. ”
"In addition to Chen She's main army, it is estimated that the army of Zhang Chu led by Zhou Shi will have 600,000 people, so this four-party alliance will total about 1.2 million. Of course, the vast majority of these 1.2 million, except for a small number of elites, are new troops. ”
"However, we are not much better, the 700,000 army, except for those officers who are elite, the rest are young and strong in labor, and after some fierce training by this army division, they will not be weaker than the other party. ”
"In addition, there are 500,000 miscellaneous troops in the pass, which were formed by a group of powerful people in Daqin, ready to be used to make war achievements, when the wind is downwind, they are a good helper, and when the wind is against the wind, they will definitely drag their feet, you need to know this matter in your heart. ”
Han Xin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. 【31 31xs.】
Then Lin Ze said leisurely: "In this battle, the biggest advantage of our army is that it has a batch of the best ordnance, which is difficult for the rebels to achieve, and I believe you can make full use of this." ”
Han Xin's eyes flashed and said, "I don't know what kind of results the military advisor wants?"
Lin Ze blinked slightly: "Are you confident that you can control it?"
Han Xin said with an extremely confident smile on his face: "It's just a group of local chickens and dogs, what can't be controlled." ”
Lin Ze said decisively: "This army division has one request, defeat them." ”
Han Xin is a smart person, and he immediately understood what Lin Ze meant, defeating rather than annihilating, and this is the only requirement, so he only needs to defeat.
Han Xin nodded slightly, smiled and asked, "What about after the defeat?"
Lin Ze said with a smile on his face: "Do you know how much the powerful people secretly paid in order to reap the battle merits? After the rebels are defeated, it will be their feast, and this army division does not want to stop them and form a mortal enemy." ”
"However, life and death are fate, wealth is in heaven, and it would be unfortunate for them to die at the hands of the rebels. ”
Han Xin's face turned pale, and he arched his hand and said, "My subordinates know what to do." ”
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Do everything within your ability, if you can't control it, even if you do it arbitrarily, this military division will never blame you." Of course, if you can do it, you don't have to let go of a few heavyweight heads, I still expect to take them to Chang'an to receive the reward. ”
Han Xin nodded slightly: "The subordinates know, and the subordinates retire." ”
Lin Ze waved his hand and let him leave.
Han Xin walked out of Lin Ze's courtyard and exhaled a breath of turbidity, there was still a trace of palpitations on his face, he had just secretly peeped at Lin Ze with the secret method of the soldier, trying to probe the other party's martial arts cultivation, but the moment the secret method was launched, a feeling of impending disaster appeared in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that he forcibly cut off the secret method with his strong will and controlled himself from revealing the slightest discoloration, I am afraid that the outcome would be unpredictable.
A military advisor has never been a soft-hearted person.
......
In Hangu Pass, Lin Ze is still absorbing nutrients and maintaining his steady deterioration.
Suddenly, a man dressed in black and holding a token hurriedly walked into Lin Ze's courtyard, knelt in front of Lin Ze and said: "Qiqi Marshal, news has come from the front line, four hundred miles away I encountered a rebel vanguard army, about 100,000 people, is marching normally, it is expected to come to the front of the pass in four days, please make a decision." ”
Lin Ze's eyelids raised slightly: "Well, are you finally here?" Stand up and talk carefully to Ben Shuai about the movements of the other rebels. ”
The man in black stood aside and told all the news that had come.
After a while, Lin Ze raised his head and commanded outside: "Come, inform General Han and let him come over." ”
Standing in the courtyard of Lin Ze, waiting for a group of guards at any time, one of them turned around and left.
Soon, Han Xin, who was wearing armor, came to Lin Ze and bowed and said, "I don't know why the military advisor called me?"
Lin Ze pointed to the black-clothed man standing aside: "The spies have sent news that the rebel vanguard has been found four hundred miles away, there are 100,000 people, and there is no sign of other rebels, and the rest will be handed over to you." ”
Han Xin pondered for a moment and arched his hand: "My subordinates will go and prepare." ”
Under Lin Ze's acquiescence, Han Xin left, and then there was a commotion in the Guannai army, and the 100,000 army left the customs with three days' rations, and did not know the movement.
......
Zhao Di, Mianchi, a military general with a full beard, looked at the west irritably, and asked his subordinates beside him, "How far is our army from Hangu Pass now?"
The partial general looked at his boss with an unhappy look on his face, and said cautiously: "General Qiyu, according to the map, our army is now less than two hundred miles away from Hangu Pass. ”
The bearded military general said with an unkind face: "So, if the official army wants to attack us and march in a hurry, it will only take one day to arrive from Hangu Pass?"
The general stubbornly said, "That's true." ”
The bearded general snorted coldly: "I don't know what the commander of Zhou City thinks, our army has millions of people, why worry about not being able to capture a Hangu Pass?
The general's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to answer, whether it was the boss in front of him or Zhou Shi, who was deeply trusted by the king, it was not something he could offend.
The bearded military general casually vented a few words, feeling a little bored, and summoned the scout military marquis and asked, "Is there any movement of the official army?"
The military marquis shook his head and said, "General Qiyu, within a hundred miles, no trace of officers and soldiers has been found. ”
A trace of disdain appeared on his beard's face and said: "It seems that the officials and soldiers have made up their minds to retreat in Hangu Pass, and Zhou City's plan has failed." ”
"Come, go and prepare a feast, and in the evening I was going to have a good drink. ”
The general's face was shocked, and he hurriedly persuaded: "General, our army is a bait, we should be especially vigilant, we can't drink and make mistakes!"
The bearded general looked at him coldly and said coldly, "You want to stop me?"
The general took a step back, showed a flattering face and said, "My lord, drinking alcohol in wartime is a big taboo, if the general wants to drink, how about a few days?"
The bearded general looked at the general, and said in a cold tone: "I heard that you have a lot of relationship with Zhou City, so you deliberately want to embarrass the general." ”
The partial general repeatedly defended: "The last general does not, and the last general does not dare." ”
The bearded general smiled coldly: "Don't dare? The scouts have not seen the officers and soldiers for a hundred miles, and it is a banquet at night, and there is almost no risk of being attacked, you still stop me, this is not daring? ”
The general was shocked: "The general forgives the sin, and the last general has no such intention." ”
The bearded military general turned a deaf ear, allowing his guards to drag him away, hang it, and hang it at the camp gate?
The general was humiliated and forcibly fainted.
At night, the bearded generals sent people to invite the other four generals to the banquet, and the other generals who learned that a colleague was hung up at the camp gate and humiliated did not dare to refuse, so they had to pretend to be happy to go to the banquet.
At that time, countless dark shadows appeared and touched towards the camp.
