Chapter 269: Zhao Jun divides his troops to go south
Pingyuan County, Luoyin City, after the destruction of Pang Kuo, Zhao Xin led hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to station here, preparing to launch a general attack on the Qi State.

At this time, Zhang Chuan was kneeling under the tent in the central army tent of Zhao Jun's camp. Xin Zhao looked at Zhang Chuan with an angry look, and scolded: "Zhang Chuan, what did I tell you before I went north? Do not conflict with Deng Jun, but what about you? Not only did you not listen, but you even ran to the city of Yanling with your troops. Are you afraid that Deng Guo will not send troops, or do you think it is too easy to destroy Qi and Wei? Find something for this general!"

"General, the last general is guilty. He disobeyed the general's order and sent troops without authorization. However, Deng Jun was really deceiving people too much. Hundreds of soldiers in our army died at the hands of Deng Jun. General Yang Ping was also punished." Seriously injured, the last general really couldn't swallow this breath, so he sent troops recklessly, and asked the general to come down!" Zhang Chuan pleaded guilty to Xin Zhao.

Zhao Xin said with a gloomy face: "You disobeyed the military order and sent troops without authorization, almost provoking disputes between the two countries. According to the laws of the country and the military, you should be sentenced to death, but now that the war is imminent, in order not to dampen the morale of the army, you will be temporarily exempted from the death penalty. Then you will be removed from commanding the army, and you will be beaten with fifty army sticks, and will be dealt with by the king after the squadron returns to the court."

"The final general is convinced, thank you, General, for not killing me!" Zhang Chuan also knew that he had made a huge mistake this time. If Deng Jun refused to let him go, I am afraid that the battle in the Central Plains would only increase the variables. The results of the bloody battle are likely to be in vain, so Zhang Chuan has no opinion on Xin Zhao's punishment.

"Take it down!" Xin Zhao waved his hand and asked someone to take Zhang Chuan down.

After Zhang Chuan left, Zuo Sheng said to Zhao Dao: "The general is now in conflict with Deng Guo. If Deng Guo sends his troops to the north, it may cause great trouble to our army."

Xin Zhao frowned and said: "Deng Guo has been watching our army and Qi Wei for more than a year, and has been standing still. Although this time Zhang Chuan's reckless action is likely to anger Deng Guo, but now Deng Guo has not stopped. The possibility of sending troops out of the impact of the War to Exterminate Wu is not high. Besides, Sima Chong is leading an army of [-] in Chenliu, so there is no need to worry too much, but just in case, he sent an order to Sima Chong to strictly Take extra precautions, if Deng Jun goes north, you only need to block them, there is no need to fight head-on."

"Here!" Zuo Sheng nodded.

After arranging the affairs in the south, Xin Zhao began to focus on Qi Guo again, more precisely on Han Qing.

"Han Qing has 8 people stationed in the county, and some soldiers and horses are stationed in the cities along the Yellow River. However, Wei State lost too much territory, which led to loopholes in Qi State's defense line. This battle is not difficult. The only one What I am worried about is that Chu and Deng will take advantage of the fire to loot, if that is the case, the battle in the Central Plains will only increase the variables, so I planned to divide the troops." Zhao Xin looked at the map and said.

All the generals nodded. Now the main force of the Qi army is on the Yellow River, and the city in the south is very empty. Zhao Jun can divide his troops and go straight to the hinterland of Qi from the south, but this will stretch the front line and put pressure on the logistics. It is relatively large, and it is necessary to prevent the remnants of Wei State and Chu State from coming out to make trouble.

"Please show me the general!" All the generals clasped their hands.

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said: "General Li Rubing is the main general, and Kou Fei, Tu Gao, Li Rengong, and Zhuang Hong are the generals. Commanding an army of [-], they marched southward from Jibei County into Taishan County, and wiped out Taishan, Langya, and Donghai counties. If there is no movement from the Chu army, stop at the border of Pengcheng and move northward, approaching Linzi. If the Chu army dares to go north, just repel them!"

"Here!" Li Rubing replied. This task is relatively simple. There is basically no Qi army in the south of Qi State. As for the Chu army, Li Rubing didn't care at all. The only thing he worried about was the logistics problem. Li Rubing believes that Xin Zhao will solve it. If he can break through Linzi before Xin Zhao defeats Han Qing, then he will be the first to go south this time, which will be very helpful for him to improve his status in the army in the future.

Now that Xin Zhao is getting old, he will retire in a few years, and now Zhao people are most concerned about the successor of Xin Zhao. The leader of the younger generation of Zhao's army is also very promising. Li Rubing, Zhang Chuan, and Sima Chong are just a little short of military exploits, so as long as Li Rubing can break through Linzi this time and make the first contribution to destroying Qi, Zhao Xin's future position There's a good chance it's his.

After the discussion was over, Li Rubing led a few generals and an army of [-] troops south to Sheqiu, Jibei County, planning to break into Taishan County from here, and approach Fenggao City, the prefecture of Taishan County.

Han Qing soon learned about the division of the Zhao army. In fact, after Zhao Xin led the army to Luoyin, Han Qing sent a large number of scouts to watch Zhao Jun's movements in Luoyin. Zhao Xin didn't know about it. What kind of action, now that Zhao Jun has an absolute advantage, crushing it upright, Qi Guo may not even have the power to fight back, and this time the division of troops is also the same. Xin Zhao clearly wants to tell Han Qing that I want to divide the troops to fight in the south.how can you
Facts have proved that Han Qing really can't do anything, because the soldiers and horses in his hands are dwarfed even to block Zhao Jun, let alone go south, so Han Qing had to write to King Qi immediately, hoping that Linzi could find a way to draw out a soldier Ma Nan went down to stop Zhao Jun.

On July 18th, [-]th year of Qianyuan, Zhao Xin led an army of more than [-] troops to leave Luoyin City and headed towards the county.

Juping City is the largest city in the west of Taishan County. It is close to Luoshui River and connected to Bo County, but it is blocked by four mountains. Mount Tai, Guishan, Youlai Mountain and Liangfu Mountain divide Taishan County into two parts from northwest to southeast. Li Rubing If you want to enter the southern part of Mount Tai, you have to go through this section of steep terrain. If the Qi army can send a part of troops to garrison here, I am afraid that Li Rubing will have to spend a lot of effort to break through, but at this time the Qi army is powerless, so Li Rubing With [-] Zhao troops, they easily passed the natural barrier in the east of Mount Tai and arrived at Bo County.

In the 18th year of Qianyuan, on July 25th, Li Rubing led his troops to the city of Bo County. At this time, there were only less than a thousand defenders in Bo County. When he saw the formation of the [-] Zhao troops below the city, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak. , unable to give up the slightest thought of resistance, directly surrendered under the leadership of the county magistrate.

In the county government office of Bo County, Li Rubing did not take a break, but was looking at the map. After Bo County, there was Fenggao City, the prefecture of Taishan County. According to reports from the spies, there were less than [-] defenders in Fenggao City, which is still relatively small for the [-] Zhao army. It is not difficult to win, but the question Li Rubing is thinking about now is, after taking Fenggao City, should he go straight to Linzi or follow Zhao Xin's military order to sweep down the southern counties of Qi State? It is equivalent to pocketing the first victory of this battle, the temptation is too great.

However, after careful consideration, Li Rubing gave up the idea of ​​attacking Linzi directly. There are two reasons. The first is that Xin Zhao’s military order must not be violated. The king of Zhao is easy to use, and Xin Zhao's words represent the attitude of the entire military of Zhao State. If you violate Xin Zhao's military order, even if you succeed in the end and make great contributions, you will not escape the military law. Now it is Xin Zhao's choice. Li Rubing didn't want to take such a risk when the successor was critical.

The second is that Linzi does not have soldiers and horses from the Qi army. As the capital of the Qi State, Linzi has an elite force of [-] people stationed all year round. This is the elite selected from the entire army by the State of Qi every five years. It is the most powerful army in Qi State. Han Xin, the founding king of Qi State, said that unless the king personally conscripts, this army cannot leave Linzi for half a step. With such an elite army stationed in Linzi, even if the Zhao army has [-] people, it is not a big deal. It is so easy to capture, not to mention that Zhao Xin is only holding back the [-] main force led by Han Qing in Zhuoxian County. Qi State still has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Qiancheng and other places. These soldiers and horses can reinforce Linzi at any time. Now attack Linzi is too risky, so Li Rubing decided to mop up the southern counties first, and intimidate Chu by the way, lest the people of Chu suddenly lose their minds and intervene in the battle between Zhao and Qi. Although the Zhao army is not afraid of the Chu army, the size is also A trouble that can be avoided is better avoided.
