Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Tian Wan couldn't help but said: "Husband, this time I only led [-] cavalry, isn't it too little?"

Qiu'er also said: "That's right, my husband, I see that my husband used to bring at least 20 to [-] soldiers and horses to go out."

Zhao Kuo looked at his wives and concubines in surprise, couldn't help laughing, and pinched Tian Wan and Qiu'er's pretty faces affectionately: "Why, why don't you trust your man so much?"

Tian Wan hesitated for a while, then said softly: "I don't understand military matters, but these [-] cavalry concubine made a slip of the tongue, shouldn't be talking nonsense, please forgive me."

Zhao Kuo looked at Tian Wan in front of him, and when he couldn't help but think of the Battle of Changping a few years ago.

Before the outbreak of the Battle of Changping, the same was true, no one was optimistic about Zhao Kuo.

Of course, Zhao Kuo's situation is much better now than it was then, but this feeling of deja vu is really long gone.

Zhao Kuo took the two wives and concubines into his arms at the same time, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will be absolutely fine.

By the way, the three of us together tonight? "

The next day, Zhao Kuo woke up refreshed, finished dressing under the service of his tender wife and concubines, and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

A 28-year-old man is young enough, but he has already stood at the highest level of power, and he is close to the real peak.

But if you want to truly replace Zhao's royal family at the top, then it's not enough.

Zhao Kuo still needs to prove to the whole world that he is a man who can truly create miracles, so that everyone will willingly stand by Zhao Kuo's side, help and support Zhao Kuo, so that Zhao Kuo can finally reach the pinnacle, and stand on the side where everyone can The pinnacle of anticipation! "The world needs a little miracle."

Zhao Kuo said something to himself, then turned around, hugged his wives, concubines and children one by one, and then walked out of the room.

An hour later, in front of Zhao Guozong Temple.

"Now take Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo as the general, and lead an army of [-] to conquer the Yan Kingdom! Be loyal and do your best to bring back victory and glory to Da Zhao!"

Zhao Kuo respectfully took the axe from the young King Zhao, and said, "I obey the order!"

Turning around, Zhao Kuo turned and stepped off the stage under everyone's gaze.

There were endless discussions among the crowd.

"Can the [-] cavalry win this time?"

"If it's Wu Xinjun, it should be possible, right?"

"Wu Xinjun has gone out of his way this time."

Han Xuwei and Lin Xiangru looked at each other, Han Xuwei smiled, and Lin Xiangru shook his head and sighed.

Dense hooves began to sound, and teams of Zhao cavalry galloped up, heading north like a long dragon, and went straight to Yan!

Chapter 313 Must Eliminate Wu Xinjun

Jidu, the Palace of the King of Yan.

"What, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo really came with [-] cavalry?"

When King Yan heard these words, his face was full of disbelief.

Yan Guo Yaqing Ju Xin Zhengse said: "Return to Your Majesty, it is true.

Zhao Kuo only brought [-] cavalry and no other troops. "

King Yan was dumbfounded for a while, and then couldn't help laughing: "Forty thousand cavalry?

What does Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo think of the widow's big swallow, a waste that can be kneaded at will? "

In the hall, the other ministers of the Yan Kingdom were quite speechless upon hearing the words, and many of them were eager to try.

Although the State of Yan is indeed very weak now, don’t forget that just 30 years ago, King Yan’s grandfather Le Yi, a general under the command of King Yan Zhao, almost annexed the State of Qi, and almost made the State of Yan comparable to the State of Qin The world's top power!Yan people are not lacking in ambition!Xiangbang Guo Wei said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guo and Wu Xinjun despise Dayan so much, it is actually Dayan's opportunity.

Think about it, if Dayan can end Wu Xinjun's undefeated myth, it will not only set back Zhao's aura, but also make the whole of China raise the prestige of Dayan! "

King Yan nodded, looked at Ju Xin and said, "Ju Qing, how many soldiers are there in the widowed Yan?"

Ju Xin thought for a while, and said: "Although our army suffered a lot of losses in the battle of Lingqiu, we can still organize an army of at least [-]."

"One hundred thousand?"

King Yan pondered for a moment, and said: "The opposite is Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, is this number a little unsafe?"

The title of No. 1 general in the world is not for nothing. Even with more than twice the force advantage, King Yan still doesn't feel sure.

After Ju Xin and Guo Wei looked at each other, they gritted their teeth and said: "If the king is willing to issue a decree before conscription, then 12 is no problem."

From 12 to 2, it sounds like a gap of [-], but the strength of the Yan State has already reached three times that of Zhao Kuo's soldiers!Can't beat three against one?

It's impossible.

Only then did King Yan feel relieved, and said with a smile: "About that, is there any reaction from the Qi State?"

Due to geographical conditions, Yan has only two neighbors, Zhao and Qi.

Guo Wei hurriedly said: "The reply from the King of Qi has come, he said that the ginseng business with Dayan will continue, but Qi will not send troops to participate in this battle."

King Yan snorted coldly, and said, "King Qi really has no ambitions as always, what about other countries?

Chu and Qin have something to say. "

Guo Kui said: "It's a long journey, and there is no reply for a while."

King Yan nodded, and the answer did not surprise him: "I am determined to fight Wu Xinjun head-on, what do you think?"

King Yan still had confidence when he said this, after all, the difference in numbers between the two parties was here.

After King Yan's words fell, several important ministers of Yan State spoke in agreement one after another.

"Your Majesty's words are very true, the Zhao people are so rampant, just teach them a lesson!"

"Yes, it is to let the world know how powerful Dayan is!"

"This time will end Wu Xinjun's undefeated myth!"

Just when King Yan was in full bloom and was about to give an order, Le Jian, the son of Le Yi and Lord Chang, stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think that it is absolutely impossible to fight head-on with Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

King Yan frowned, with an obvious dissatisfaction on his face: "Mr. Chang, what do you mean?"

Le Jian's face was solemn, and he said: "My lord, that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is the No. 1 general in the world, and he must be prepared to bring [-] cavalry this time.

It is a well-known fact that cavalry are not good at attacking cities. Dayan only needs to defend the city, and Wu Xinjun will naturally retreat without success, so why bother to take the risk of fighting Wu Xinjun? "

Le Jian's words made King Yan suddenly feel that there was some truth to them.

If you can win by defending the city, why take the initiative to attack?

King Yan fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lejian let out a sigh of relief.

Le Jian's father, Le Yi, was from Zhao country. He fled to Zhao country to seek asylum because of his disagreement with the previous king Yan Hui Wang.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Le Jian belongs to the rare "Pro-Zhao faction" in the country of Yan, and has always been concerned about the affairs of the country of Zhao, and there are many communication channels in the country of Zhao.

The more he understands, the more Lejian understands what a terrible opponent the famous Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is.

Fighting against such an opponent, let alone 12 against 12, is [-] against [-]. Le Jian also feels that he must be careful and abide by the rules.

Zhao Kuo is really too strong!Seeing King Yan sinking into deep thought, Le Jian was happy, but the others were anxious.

Guo Kai frowned, and said coldly: "Mr. Chang's words are wrong! If our 12 army of Dayan had to retreat and defend against Zhao Kuo's only [-] soldiers, if the news spread , What do the princes of the world think of our country of Yan?

Isn't Dayan shameless? "

Of course, it is impossible for Guo Wei to agree to this approach, and the reason is very simple, because Guo Wei is now doing the business of Yan Guo ginseng.

Only by defeating the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo neatly and winning this "ginseng war", can the ginseng business that Guo Wei is in charge of be able to truly open up sales and go to other Chinese vassal states.

These are all benefits.

Guo Kui took a look at Ju Xin. Although Ju Xin had a disagreement with Guo Wei before, this time he was also pulled into the ginseng business channel by Guo Wei.

Sure enough, Ju Xin immediately understood, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I also think Guo Xiang's words are very reasonable.

The minister is willing to lead the army to fight, and this time he will definitely be able to defeat Zhao Kuo and win the victory for Dayan! "

A talented person must be quite confident in his heart.

The last time Ju Xin was defeated by Zhao Kuo in Lingqiu, after returning, Ju Xin has been aggrieved, feeling that he is not inferior to Zhao Kuo in talent, but because he was fooled by Zhao Kuo!Ju Xin has been waiting for an opportunity for revenge, and now this excellent opportunity for revenge is in front of him.

The temptation to defeat the No.1 general in the world and end the myth of Zhao Kuo's invincibility is too great for any general!After Guo Kui and Ju Xin spoke successively, the situation reversed again.

The dispute between the two sides was very fierce, but in the end, Guo Wei and Ju Xin had more seniority and higher official positions, so Le Jian still lost the wind.

Seeing this, King Yan finally made up his mind.

"What Guo Xiang and Juqing said is absolutely true.

If Wu Xinjun leads an army of [-], the widow will naturally retreat.

But now Wu Xinjun only has [-] cavalry in his hands. If the widow is afraid of him, wouldn't he be reduced to a joke of the princes of the world?

In the plot, the widow ordered you to be the main general, and immediately recruited 12 soldiers and horses for you, and sent troops to fight Wu Xinjun.

This time, you must destroy Wu Xinjun's army, so that all the princes of the world will know how powerful I am, Dayan! "

Ju Xin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

In the main hall of Yan Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers were full of confidence, and they all felt that the day to defeat Zhao Kuo was at hand!

Chapter 314

According to the usual practice, the troops of Zhao State usually gather in Handan first, and then set off neatly and mightily.

But this time Zhao Kuo did not do so. He chose to let [-] cavalry gather in Gucheng, Zhongshan County, on the south bank of the Tang River in the north of Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo will join them there.

When setting off from Handan, Zhao Kuo had only 20 Chiyou army knights by his side. The number of [-] is actually quite a lot, but it is undoubtedly much less than the previous numbers of [-] or [-].

When the [-] cavalrymen rolled away in smoke and dust, Zhao Guo's confidence in winning the war did not increase, but the doubts became more and more loud.

But Zhao Kuo no longer cares about all this at the moment. As a leader and commander, from the moment he dispatches troops, Zhao Kuo only cares about one thing: how to defeat the enemy and achieve his strategic goals!In this regard, Zhao Kuo also communicated with Li Mu, the general of the Chi You army beside him.

"Li Mu, do you think this Marquis has a good chance of winning this time?" Li Mu's face was quite dark, which was brought about by his many days of military career. This kind of darkness did not make him look ugly, but made him Looks very energetic.

This famous cavalry general of Zhao State in history has been like a fish in water since he joined the Chi You Army. He not only trained the Chi You Army like arms and fingers in a short period of time, but also went a step further in the cavalry training method proposed by Zhao Kuo. A series of new and more effective training methods have been introduced.

Zhao Kuo was also very impressed by this. Some people in this world are really born with natural talents, and they can't accept it.

To Zhao Kuo's question, Li Mu answered almost without thinking: "Of course the lord will win."

Zhao Kuo asked with interest: "Why?"

Li Mu said seriously: "Because the lord is the lord."

I have to say that being praised by Li Mu in such adoring language is really refreshing, but Zhao Kuo still had to interrupt this joy: "Be honest, Li Mu."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, and said, "My lord, this battle is actually not easy."

Zhao Kuo said: "Why?"

Li Mu said: "There are too many rivers in the southern border of Yan Kingdom.

There are Yellow River, Hutuo River, Tang River, Nanyi River, Beiyi River, Yongding River, etc. The existence of these rivers will affect the mobility of our army. "

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said, "If you were the commander-in-chief of the Yan army, what would you do?"

Li Mu thought for a while, and said, "If I were the commander of the Yan army, I would have three options."

Zhao Kuo gasped in surprise, and said, "Tell me about it."

Li Mu clamped the horse's belly slightly so that the horse under his crotch was exactly level with Zhao Kuo's carriage: "The best strategy is to avoid field battles and use the many river terrains and cities in the territory of Yan to delay our offensive progress.

Then carry out fortified walls and clear the fields, evacuate all the people outside the city into nearby cities, and destroy all the crops in the fields so that we cannot achieve the goal of feeding on the enemy, thus dragging down our logistics and finally realizing our attempt to force us to retreat.

This is the best policy. "

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "From a military point of view, this is indeed the best strategy.

But one thing you should notice is that the spring plowing in Yan Kingdom has just come to an end. If all the crops in the fields are destroyed at this time, their food will definitely be greatly affected. "

Li Mu said with a smile: "I'm just a general, and what I'm thinking about is how to defeat the enemy. As for food and crops, these are things that local officials should think about."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Then what's the best strategy?"
