Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 238
Chapter 237: Xin Zhao Orders Troops
In the camp of the Zhao army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Xin looked around at the generals in the tent, and asked Sima Tai with great arrogance: "General Sima, do you have any news from the people you sent to contact Li Jiqian, Long Ao, and Zhang Di?" ?” Sima Tai is the person Xin Zhao sent to be in charge of contacting Li Jiqian, Long Ao, Zhang Di and other generals from Song and Chu. Now that Xin Zhao has decided to start the first battle immediately, their attitude is crucial.

Sima Tai went out and clapped his hands and said: "Back to the general, Li Jiqian drove our people out, and Long Ao was fine at first, and has no contact with our army these days. As for Zhang Di, he said that he can cooperate with us." , but he has one condition, I hope the general can agree to him."

"Conditions? What conditions?" Xin Zhao asked.

"As long as the general can guarantee that after defeating the state of Qi, he will help the state of Chu recover, then he is willing to cooperate with the general." Sima Tai stated Zhang Di's conditions.

"Recovering the country? Zhang Di is really a loyal generation." After hearing Zhang Di's conditions, Xin Zhao said with a smile. He didn't expect that Zhang Di would ask him to help Chu restore the country as a condition for opposing Goqi. Xin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't know whether to admire Zhang Di's loyalty to Chu, or to laugh at Zhang Di's innocence and stupid loyalty, Chu was doomed, and he still wanted to restore the country, retreating [-] steps and saying Even if he helps him restore the country, can the dilapidated state of Chu survive under the watchful eyes of wolves?

"Then general, how should the general reply to Zhang Di?" Sima Tai asked.

Xin Zhao thought for a while, and said: "Promise him, tell Zhang Di, as long as he can help the general defeat the Qi army, the general will be the master, give him Pengcheng and Peijun, and let him rebuild Chu."

"What! General, do you mean you agree with Zhang Di? You also want to give him Pengcheng and Peijun? I'm sorry to say a word, I'm afraid this general can't make the decision. Do you want to ask the king first?" Sima Tai didn't expect that Xin Zhao would agree to such an excessive condition. In his opinion, Zhang Di's condition is completely nonsense and can be ignored.

Xin Zhao shook his head and said: "No need, the general can decide this matter, Zhang Di is devoted to Chu State, apart from helping Chu State restore the country, there is nothing that can attract Zhang Di, besides, this is just It’s just empty words, who said that the Chu Kingdom will be able to restore the country?” When he said the last sentence, a sly smile appeared on Xin Zhao’s face, which was clearly intended to put on Zhang Di.

Sima Tai suddenly understood that Xin Zhao wanted to stabilize Zhang Di first and win Zhang Di over. After the Qi army was defeated and the overall situation of the battle was settled, it was not Xin Zhao's words to let Chu go back to the country. question.

"The general understands. The general will send someone to contact Zhang Di later." Sima Tai laughed.

Xin Zhao saw that Sima Tai had already understood what he meant, so he nodded in satisfaction and said, "You just need to convey the general's meaning to Zhang Di, and it's just the beginning now, why don't you use Zhang Di as a chess piece?" when."

"Here!"

After solving Zhang Di's problem, Xin Zhao began to arrange the first battle. Xin Zhao brought all the generals to the map and said: "The Qi army is divided into divisions, and they are stationed in Leling, Banxian, and Yanci respectively. , Liguo, has covered the entire northern line of the plain, this is Han Qing's usual trick, this kind of defense line is more difficult to break through, but once our army can break through one of them, the entire defense line of the Qi army will collapse."

Xin Zhao and Han Qing have played against each other many times, and they know each other very well this time. As for Han Qing's usual tactics, Xin Zhao knows that this defensive tactic is an artifact that Han Qing uses to defend himself. Every time Han Qing relies on This kind of all-round defense was used to block him, so Xin Zhao sent someone to contact General Song Chu, hoping to break through the defense line from the inside and reduce casualties.

Xin Zhao continued: "The general intends to choose a place to conduct a tentative attack. Let's see the strength of the Qi army first." Large-scale attack is impossible at this stage. After all, the Qi army also has 30 soldiers and horses. With the advantage of the city, we can only test it step by step to find out the strength of the Qi army.

"Then I don't know where the general thinks he will attack from?" General Li Rengong asked.

Xin Zhao thought for a while, and said: "Ge Kingdom is too far away from here, it's inconvenient, and Leling and Ban counties are stationed with the main force of the Qi army, so it's not suitable for a tentative attack, only to be tired, is the best choice, This general intends to lead 10 troops to attack Yanci with General Li Rengong as the main general and General Huang Kuang as the deputy general."

"I would like to obey the general's order!" Li Rengong and Huang Wei came out and said.

Zhao Xin said to Li Rengong and Huang Wei: "The purpose of sending troops this time is to test. If there is a chance to win the city, it is good, but you must not resort to forceful attacks. He Jiong, who is tired of times, has extraordinary abilities. You must be careful. If you can't do anything, You can return it." He Jiong is a veteran general of the Qi State, and Xin Zhao already knew how strong he was in several fights. Although he was not as good as himself and Han Qing, in terms of ability, he was still higher than Sima Chong and Zhang Chuan. .

"Here!" Li Rengong and Huang Huan responded.

On March 17th, 102th year of Qianyuan, Li Rengong and Huang Wei led one hundred thousand Zhao troops to the city of Yanci. Just in case, Zhao Xin called Tu Gao back from Shangdang, and followed Li Rengong and others. Let's go together, Tu Gao has a force value of [-], and he can hold on at critical times. If it wasn't for the fact that Le Yun, Zhao's top general, wanted to stay in Leling to deal with Qi's top general, Jia Biao, Zhao Xin would have used it at all. It is not necessary to call Tu Gao back, but there are still [-] cavalry in the [-] Zhao army.

Once in the city, He Jiong looked solemnly at the [-] Qi troops below the city, followed by Shangguan Qingyang, He Ji, Guan Jun and other generals of the Qi army. Among them, Guan Jun was also a former general of the Song Dynasty. After this time, He Jiong followed Han Qing's order and withdrew all the soldiers and horses into the city, and defended the city to the death. For Gao and others, with his own abilities, He Jiong believed that even if Zhao Jun had [-] troops, he would not be his opponent, but the military orders were like mountains.

Han Qing was scared of being beaten by Zhao Xin. Whenever he met Zhao Xin, Han Qing would choose this kind of passive defense to resist Zhao Xin when he was at a disadvantage. Life is so wonderful. A very passive style of play is precisely the best way to deal with Xin Zhao. Every time Han Qing uses this tactic, Xin Zhao returns in vain.

"General He, all the defensive materials in the city have been prepared, and all the food, grass and military resources can support our army for a year, but do we really want to defend like this? We also know the generals in the city, and we will fight together It's not that there is no chance of winning, why don't we go out of the city and fight the Qi army." Shangguan Qingyang on the side said to He Jiong, Shangguan Qingyang was also unwilling to stick to it, and wanted to go out of the city to fight the Qi army.

But He Jiong shook his head and said: "No, General Han has an order. Without his military order, no one can go out of the city to fight."

"But..." Shangguan Qingyang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by He Jiong.

"There is nothing to be ashamed of, the military order is like a mountain, without the military order of the general, no one is allowed to fight." He Jiong shouted.

"Here!" All the generals had no choice but to respond in unison.

But Li Rengong, Huang Huan, Tu Gao and others under the city remained motionless, not intending to attack by force at all.

"Report, I report to the three generals that within a radius of five miles, no trace of the Qi army was found!" At this time, a scout came to Li Rengong and the other three.

Li Rengong nodded and signaled the scouts to go down, after the scouts left.Huang Huan said to Li Rengong: "General Li, it seems that He Jiong has withdrawn all the Qi troops near Yanci into Yanci City, and intends to defend the city to the death. If there is a strong attack, the casualties will be too great."

Li Rengong replied: "That's true. It's not advisable to attack by force, but it doesn't matter. The task given to us by the general is to test. Don't worry, just observe it."

"General Li, General Huang, since the Qi army won't come out, how about asking Zaiqian to challenge the generals of the Qi army and try the strength of the generals of the Qi army?"

Li Rengong thought about it, and felt that this idea is quite good. Tu Gao's strength ranks at the forefront in the entire Zhao Kingdom, and there are very few people in Qi who can defeat Tu Gao, let alone kill Tu Gao, so he nodded. , said: "Forget it, since the Qi army is unwilling to come out, then please ask General Tu to go to the city to challenge, if you can kill a few Qi generals, it will be the best, but if things can't be done, General Tu must hurry up Go back, don't act recklessly."

Tu Gao smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Li, the person who can kill me Tu Gao hasn't been born yet, what can a group of generals do to me? Let's see how many heads I take down." After that, he rode his horse out of battle and went to the city of Yanci.
