Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 337

Mr. Pingyuan smiled slightly, and suddenly had a plan in his mind.

Since you Lin Xiangru wants to follow Le Cheng, why can't Ben Hou follow Le Cheng?

Maybe one day Le Cheng will really come to Benhou's side.

With this sense of anticipation for poaching, Mr. Ping Yuan smiled and said, "Pang Qing's worries are indeed understandable.

But in my opinion, Wu Xinjun's judgment is the real key.

Since Wu Xinjun didn't feel the need to increase troops, why should Handan increase the burden on the army and the people for nothing?

Of course, we don't know whether we will receive Wu Xinjun's request for additional troops tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so the Queen Mother can first order all departments to make plans and preparations.

In this case, if you really want to send troops, you can send troops as quickly as possible. I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks? "

After Mr. Pingyuan's voice fell, Pang Nuan was speechless.

Seeing this, the queen mother made a decision directly: "Okay, then let's make it so.

Don't increase the number of troops for the time being, and wait until Wu Xinjun's memorial will prevail. "

At this moment, Pang Nuan was really helpless.

Wu Xinjun, why does it feel like everyone in Dazhao is targeting you?

How did you climb up step by step to where you are today?

If that wasn't the case, you probably wouldn't have such a bold idea, right? Thinking of this, Pang Nuan also showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and stopped talking.

You people, do you really think you won just like that?

Chapter 665

After a while, Le Cheng walked out of the main hall, somewhat proud of himself.

"Twenty-five thousand against more than 7, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, I don't believe it, can't you win more with less every time?"

With such a complacent mood, Le Cheng smiled at Lin Xiangru beside him: "Thanks to Xinjun's persistence this time, we finally let us contain Zhao Kuo again!"

Lin Xiangru hesitated to speak, but he couldn't help but said to Le Cheng: "Sima, after all, Lord Wu Xin is fighting for our Great Zhao. I think it might be better to help Da Zhao think about it next time."

Le Cheng let out a hey, and said disapprovingly: "Who says we don't think about it for Da Zhao?

Getting rid of Zhao Kuo's cancer is the best help for Da Zhao! "

Zhou Shaofen listened to this and couldn't help being speechless.

How many things Wu Xinjun has done for Da Zhao, how many victories he has won, you, Le Cheng, are just a tool man who was supported to fight against Wu Xinjun, why are you so crazy?

Zhou Shaofen couldn't help but said, "Does Da Sima think Wu Xinjun can still win?"

Le Cheng laughed, and stretched out two fingers: "I think Zhao Kuo's winning percentage this time is only [-]%."

Le Cheng is looking forward to the day when the myth of Zhao Kuo's invincibility will be shattered!In Donghu County, Zhao Jun's camp is the commander-in-chief.

Zhao Kuo was staring at the map in front of him, lost in thought.

There was a sound of footsteps, and then Li Mu walked in and saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully: "My lord, I am here upon summoning."

Zhao Kuo waved to Li Mu with a smile, and said, "Come on, take a look at this map."

Li Mu came over and looked at the map with Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo has always attached great importance to maps. Every time Zhao Kuo goes out for an expedition, he will bring a professional map surveying team. Their task is to draw all the geographic maps of every place Zhao Kuo passes by.

Donghu, as the place where Zhao Kuo once fought, is naturally no exception.

In fact, this map is not only a map of Donghu County, but also a map of Yan Kingdom.

If the general of the Yan army, Le Jian, was here, he would be very surprised to see this map.

Because the topography of Yan State on this map is even more detailed than that on the table of Lejian!This is the information collected by the nightingales who traveled step by step through the mountains and rivers of the country of Yan under the guise of merchants.

Li Mu looked at the map and said, "How does the lord plan to fight this battle?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Do you think if we face the enemy head-on, do we have a chance to win this battle?"

Li Mu had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and immediately answered: "There is a chance of winning, but it should not be great.

Even if they win, I am afraid it will be a relatively tragic victory. "

Zhao Kuo said: "Why?"

Li Mu talked eloquently: "If our army wants to win, the key is to put it on the Donghu rebels.

There are not many cavalry in the Yan army. If they want to fight against our army, they will inevitably rely on the Donghu rebels. However, these Donghu rebels are not high in morale and combat effectiveness. We can use the main force of the side cavalry to attack the Donghu rebels. Let the Donghu rebels retreat.

Once the Donghu rebels retreat, we can charge from the front with [-] Chiyou troops and take the Yan army's infantry directly.

At this time, coupled with the three-way outflanking of the garrison army and the border cavalry army, it should be possible to defeat the Yan army. "

Zhao Kuo nodded, obviously approving Li Mu's words: "Then why do you say that the chances of winning are not too high?"

Li Mudao: "First of all, although the enemy has the hidden danger of the Donghu rebels, our garrison is also a hidden danger.

These garrison troops are composed of Xiongnu and Donghu people. These two tribes just surrendered to Da Zhao last year, and their loyalty is obviously insufficient.

Once something happens on the battlefield, the garrison must be the first to flee the battlefield, which will have a great impact on the battle situation.

In addition, the number of our Chi You army is not large enough. If [-] Chi You troops charge together, this battle can be said to be a certain victory.

But the power of the five thousand Chiyou army is not enough, and the effect of charging into the formation is still open to debate. "

After Zhao Kuo listened, a satisfied expression appeared on his face: "You are very good."

Li Mu's judgment on the entire battle situation was almost exactly the same as Zhao Kuo's.

Zhao Kuo asked again: "Then what do you think we should do now to win the victory more easily?"

Li Mu rubbed his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I haven't thought about it yet.

However, I feel that as long as there is a lord, this should be something that I don't need to think too hard. "

Zhao Kuo laughed, stretched out his hand and nodded Li Mu: "You, you are so talented, but sometimes you are lazy.

Forget it this time, if you make such a lazy answer next time, this Marquis will punish you with a military stick! "

Li Mu chuckled.

Zhao Kuo had no choice but to pull the map closer and said, "Look at the current battlefield situation."

Since there is no easy-to-erasable pen like chalk, Zhao Kuo did not directly mark the map with a pen, but used three small flags of different colors.

The red flag is obviously Zhao Jun, the blue flag is Yan Jun, and the black chess pieces represent Donghu.

Zhao Kuo said: "Our current position is relatively southwest. The Yan army originally came from the south, but because Lejian needed to meet up with the Donghu rebels, his marching route had to be inclined towards the east. The location becomes southeast."

Li Mu nodded, and said: "So what the lord means is..." Zhao Kuo chuckled, and tapped his finger on the map: "So when Le Cheng reached the southeast, the land of Yan Kingdom in the south has been given up! Look here, This is the Great Wall in the north of Yan Kingdom, this is the Dama Mountains, and it is also where the main force of Le Cheng is now.

We can go directly south, bypass the mountains of Dama, pass through this pass, and go all the way to Jidu, Yan Kingdom! "

In later generations, the place Zhao Kuo pointed at was Zhangjiakou, an extremely important city for defending Beijing!From Zhangjiakou to Beijing via Huailai, this is a route that the grassland tribes like to take when they invade south.

Zhao Kuo's eyes brightened slightly: "In order to fight against us, Le Jian pulled out all the troops that could fight in the entire Yan State to fight us on the grassland, so the mainland of Yan State is extremely empty right now! And what about us?

We are all cavalry with great mobility. If we don't fight him head-on, we will catch his flaws.

As long as we follow this route and go straight to the city of Jidu, Lejian will definitely be in a mess.

When he is in a mess, he will show his flaws.

At that time, it is our real chance to win! "

This is the tactic that Zhao Kuo has always admired, and it is also a well-known mobile warfare in history, created by the collective command of the founding generals of China! "Mobilize the enemy, let the enemy run, and we will eat their vital strength while they are running, so as to win."

Now Zhao Kuo wants to make this sentence of the founding great man a reality again!Li Mu was shocked after hearing this, and looked at Zhao Kuo with incomparable admiration.

"My lord's plan is ingenious. I think our army will surely win this battle!"

Chapter 666 Where is Zhao Kuo Ren?

Yan army camp.

The general of the Yan army, Yan Guole, is arranging various defensive tasks very methodically.

"We must keep an eye on all directions of Zhao Jun's attack. You must know that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has always been very good at winning by surprise. If we relax our defenses, we will only be left with failure!"

When Le Jian said these words, the expression on his face was extremely serious.

After all, what is facing Lejian is a historically powerful enemy like Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, and there is no room for neglect.

In front of Le Jian, many generals of the Yan Army naturally surrendered their hands.

Afterwards, Le Jian turned his attention to the many elders of Donghu next to him, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is your home field, and I hope you can cheer up and keep an eye on all the Zhao Jun cavalry who may come out of the camp. Give us a time to counterattack Zhao Jun at any time!"

The Yan army doesn't have too many cavalry troops. If you want to see the Zhao army dead in terms of mobility, it is naturally the Donghu people who have mastered this land for hundreds of years.

Lejian originally thought that his arrangement was seamless enough, but he never expected that the next moment the Donghu people's complaints would almost drown him out.

An Donghu elder who has always had a good relationship with Le Jian and who also advocated joining forces with Yan Guo said with a bitter face, "Mr. Chang, it's not that we don't want to contribute, it's because Zhao Jun is too cruel."

It has been five days since the negotiation failed. Although there was no decisive battle between the two sides during these five days, countless fierce small-scale battles were staged every day around the scouts around the periphery.

Originally, Donghu people were full of confidence and felt that this was our Donghu territory for hundreds of years. Could it be that we can't beat you Zhao people at home?

Facts have proved that it can't be beat.

The reason is also very simple. Zhao Jun's weapons have a longer range and greater power, and the quality of the horses is better. Even the leather armor on his body can instantly kill the tattered animal furs of the Donghu people.

Moreover, among Zhao Jun's cavalry, there are also a large number of Xiongnu Donghulin Huloufan, who also grew up on horseback since childhood, and their riding and archery skills are no worse than yours.

They are better than you in all aspects, and there are more people than you, how do you fight?

So after a few days, the Donghu rebels suffered heavy losses, with an average loss of hundreds of people every day.

The number of a few hundred people seems nothing to the 1000 Donghu cavalry, but the problem is that this Donghu rebel army is composed of dozens of elders, and on average, the Donghu cavalry under each elder is Hundreds of [-] people.

In other words, every day, an elder Donghu was beaten to annihilation!This led to the fact that none of the elders of Donghu were willing to send troops to fight against Zhao Jun's scouts, because they felt that this was asking for their own death, and they wanted to lose all their small family fortunes.

After listening to Le Jian, he was speechless for a moment.

If you don't investigate, then wouldn't the Marquis know nothing about the movements of the Zhao people, how can we fight this battle?

Le Jian suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to persuade him: "Everyone, if we want to defeat Zhao, we must have good intelligence and reconnaissance.

I also know that you have suffered heavy casualties, but sometimes such things are unavoidable for the sake of the overall situation.

How about this, as long as the elder who dares to contribute this time, Benhou can directly make up for all his losses after winning the battle, how about it? "

Anyway, Lejian finally convinced the elders of Donghu.

The generals of Yan State in the big tent obviously have a lot of opinions on the behavior of the Donghu people.

As soon as the elders of Donghu left the big tent, General Yan Jun couldn't help but said: "Why does Junhou have such a good attitude towards these Hu people?

You must know that this time we are here to save them. "

Hearing this, Le Jian couldn't help sighing: "You don't know the Hu people, they are all short-sighted guys, if you continue to lose like this, some of them will become deserters like those Donghu elders before. !"

Lejian was actually very speechless to these Donghu uncles. Fortunately, Lejian had enough troops, as long as the Donghu people could do a good job in the investigation mission.

Le Jian didn't expect that the moths of the Donghu people would continue!In the next few days, Donghu people came to report the news that Zhao Jun had attacked almost every day.

At the beginning, Le Jian was very nervous, and every time the horn was sounded to summon the whole army to prepare for war.

It turned out that the elder Donghu who was only attacking was afraid that he would be wiped out by Zhao Jun's entire army, so he found an excuse to get Yan Jun to act.

In this way, after discovering that the main force of the Yan army had moved, the scouts of the Zhao army would naturally retreat, and the subordinates of the elder Donghu would naturally be kept.

This matter directly made Le Jian very angry, but Le Jian couldn't warn a wave of Donghu people ruthlessly, so it could be said that there was nothing he could do.

Elder Donghu in the back can take a look at this?

So one by one began to imitate each other, and every time they lead an army to attack, they must report a wave of enemy situation within half an hour.

Lejian also became numb later on. Anyway, as long as you Donghu people are willing to go out and stare at the Zhao people, I don’t expect you to fight against Zhao’s scouts.

After another five or six days like this, Lejian saw that Zhao Kuo on the opposite side had not launched an attack for a long time, and felt that his strategy had succeeded, and his mood began to improve.

What is Lejian's strategy?

It's very simple, just keep it!From Le Jian's point of view, Zhao Kuo came all the way, with thousands of miles of grassland behind him, and there was basically no logistical supplies.

The Yan Army is only about a hundred miles away from the Great Wall of Yan State, so it is much easier to replenish than Zhao Army.
