Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The capital of Qin State, Xianyang City.

Compared with the other princes just mentioned, the military strength assembled by Qin is undoubtedly quite amazing.

21!In this battle, apart from Zhao, no vassal state had more troops than Qin!King Qin looked at the 21 troops in front of him with a satisfied expression on his face.

This made King Qin couldn't help recalling the heyday of Qin.

Once upon a time, Qin could easily organize an army of 20.

But that era is now over.

All because of Zhao Guo, all because of Zhao Kuo!Looking at Meng Ao and Wang Jian in front of him, King Qin said in a deep voice, "Both of you, this time you must fight steadily and never let Zhao Guo get any chance, understand?"

Behind high investment is naturally high risk, and all fools understand this truth.

This time, Qin State directly invested all the soldiers capable of fighting in the entire country. If all of them were lost in the First World War, Qin State would not be able to recover its strength in ten or even twenty years.

Soldiers are all human beings, and human beings need to grow up. It takes at least 18 years for a person to become a qualified soldier from birth to growth. Vegetables do not grow immediately after being planted in the field.

In fact, there is still a voice in the Qin State, which is to consider using Wu'an Jun Baiqi in this battle, but the King of Qin directly denied it without even thinking about it.

In vain?

That old man who was defeated by Zhao Kuo many times?

Since they were also defeated by Zhao Kuo, why don't you trust younger generals like Meng Ao and Wang Jian, but trust an old man who may die at any time?

So this time the main and deputy generals of the Qin army are still the combination of Meng Ao and Wang Jian.

When Meng Ao and Wang Jian heard King Qin's words, they were also full of fighting spirit, and they said with great confidence: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best!"

On the side, Lu Buwei and Mao Sui listened to these words, with expectant smiles on their faces, but they were secretly cursing in their hearts.

I hope that something will happen to Meng Ao and Wang Jian, and I hope that something will happen to Qin Jun.

I hope Wu Xinjun is okay, I hope Da Zhao is okay!The news of sending troops from one country to another came, and the number of troops began to be aggregated, and finally an extremely astonishing number was obtained.

Five countries, 61 troops, encircled and suppressed Zhao!Strictly speaking, it is to encircle and suppress Zhao Kuo!

Chapter 784 60 enemy troops?Zhao Kuo only needs 20 ([-]th update)

Handan, the palace city of Zhao State.

Another military meeting was held, but this time the atmosphere was obviously not as relaxed and optimistic as last time.

61!What is this concept?

Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo has never faced an enemy of this magnitude.

Enemy in the true sense of the world!During the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo still hoped to be able to unite vertically and horizontally and gain other allies, but now Zhao Guo can only rely on himself.

All of these are like huge stones weighing on the hearts of Zhao Guojun and his ministers, making their expressions no longer so relaxed.

Zhao Wang sighed, and said to Zhao Kuo in front of him, "Wu Xinjun, what should we do in the current situation?"

Although he had already obtained the answer from Zhao Kuo, the current King Zhao couldn't help but want to listen to it again to gain more confidence!Zhao Kuo laughed and stood up: "Why should your lord be worried?

This so-called 60 army is actually nothing more than chickens and dogs!The situation that Da Zhao is facing now is much better than that during the Changping War. "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, the other people present couldn't help being taken aback.

Mr. Pingyang couldn't help but be the first to speak: "Mr. Wu Xin, you are a little too confident in your words, aren't you?"

"confidence?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "I don't think so.

Please think about it, everyone, in the previous battle of Changping, the enemies we faced were all from Qin, and they were all of one mind, and they all gathered under Bai Qi's command just to defeat Da Zhao.

But now?

Although the five-nation alliance has gathered 60 people and is known as a million-strong army, it actually belongs to five countries. It is impossible to unify orders, and even when they fight, they have their own ideas!Under such circumstances, it is easier for us to target and defeat them one by one!Therefore, the current situation is better than the Changping battle back then, and the victory is too much! "

Strange to say, after Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall immediately improved a lot.

Even Zhao Kuo's number one political enemy Pingyang Jun has to admit that Zhao Kuo is so confident in war.

Whoever makes Zhao Kuo win!King Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu Xin, so you still insist on attacking Chu first this time?

The widows heard that the state of Chu has already joined the division of Wei Guoguo. "

The current situation is as analyzed by Zhao Kuo before. Chu State is the central army, and it joins Wei State’s army, while Qi State and Qin State are respectively on the left and right wings. South Korea’s army is gathering slowly. Do you want to join Chu and Wei in the east or join Qin in the west?

Zhao Kuo chuckled and said sternly, "Your Majesty is right. This time, I will continue to fight against Chu! And this time I will fight against Chu and Wei. It can be said that it is a buy one get one free. It is too profitable."

Zhao Kuo's laughter seemed contagious, making the atmosphere more relaxed again.

King Zhao also loosened his brows a lot, and said, "Then, Mr. Wu Xin, how do you plan to arrange our Great Zhao's troops?"

So far, Zhao Guo has assembled a total of 45 troops in Handan.

As far as the strength of a country is concerned, it is already proud of the world, but compared with the 61 on the opposite side, it seems to be a lot less.

In fact, Zhao State could have easily recruited more than 50 troops, but Zhao State is now the largest country in the world, and Handan is located in the southernmost part of the country. Did not arrive on the way.

In addition, because Zhao Kuo had just conquered the country of Yan, Zhao Kuo had to leave 45 elite soldiers to guard the land of the country of Yan to prevent various rebellions, so [-] soldiers and horses are basically the limit of the troops Zhao can use now. up.

This time, not only the other five countries are fighting, but Zhao is also fighting!Facing King Zhao's question, Zhao Kuo smiled calmly and said: "This time, I plan to use Da Sima Lian Po to lead 15 troops to defend the Qin and Han troops, and Xu Li to lead 20 troops to defend the Qi army. I take the remaining [-] soldiers and horses to fight against the Chu and Wei armies!"

Since the enemy is attacking from three directions, Zhao Kuo naturally has to fight from three directions.

As for why it was Lian Po and Xu Li, there are indeed some ways to do it.

Needless to say, Xu Li is the confidant of Zhao Kuo's confidant. In such an extremely critical battle, only by letting Xu Li watch over the Qi army who is close at hand, can Zhao Kuo be able to safely kill the Chu Wei coalition army without worrying. The Qi army came to make trouble.

As for the appointment of Lian Po, on the one hand, Zhao Guo really does not have any decent talents who can lead so many troops on his own, and on the other hand, it can also drive a wedge between Lian Po and Pingyang Jun.

Sure enough, after Zhao Kuo's words fell, Lord Pingyang was taken aback, and looked at Lian Po suspiciously.

Lord Pingyang had already noticed Zhao Kuo's behavior of reporting credit to Lian Po on the credit book before, and now Zhao Kuo let Lian Po lead the largest army besides Zhao Kuo, which had to make Lord Pingyang suspicious.

Could it be that Lian Po and Zhao Kuo reached some secret deal during the attack on Yan State?

On the other side, Lian Po didn't think of this at all, but nodded with joy.

Lian Po has long been looking forward to the day when he will lead his army into battle!King Zhao also nodded when he heard the words: "Such an arrangement sounds good, but you only have 20 troops, can you really defeat the Chu-Wei coalition?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Chu's army is 15, and Wei's army is 20, so the total is exactly [-].

I'm not bragging, even if the Han army came together, I also hope to defeat them in one fell swoop! "

As soon as Zhao Kuo's voice fell, the eunuch order hurried into the palace to report: "The news I just got is that the Han army has already marched eastward and is preparing to join Chu and Wei!"

The hall suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Zhao Wang looked at Zhao Kuo speechlessly, good guy, what are you talking about.

Zhao Kuo was also taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "Han Jun is 20, that is to say, now the minister is 28 to [-].

But rest assured, Your Majesty, there is no problem with this either! "

King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo, and nodded his head after a while: "Very well, what I appreciate most is Wu Xinjun's self-confidence! Then everything will be done according to Wu Xinjun's arrangement!"

The next day, Zhao Kuo led an army of 20 to leave Handan and rushed directly to the south.

Zhao Kuo's order was very simple: "Find the allied forces of Chu, Wei and South Korea as quickly as possible, and defeat them thoroughly before Qi and Qin come to join them!"

Chapter 785 Zhao Kuo Divides His Troops?Courting death (ninth update)

Just as Zhao Guo has a huge intelligence network among the other five countries, the other five countries also have a huge intelligence network among Zhao Guo.

This mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter which side it is, is impossible to hide from others. Therefore, when Zhao Kuo led an army of 20 to the south towards the Chu, Wei and Han coalition forces, Chu, Wei and Han allied forces. The main generals of the Korean coalition army have already received the information.

After receiving the information, the generals of the Three Kingdoms immediately convened a meeting and began to discuss this information.

General Chun Shenjun frowned and said, "It's fine if we divide into three groups, but Lord Wu Xin also divides into three groups. Are Zhao people so confident?"

In Chunshen Jun's opinion, if Chun Shenjun was to be the main general, Chunshen Jun should choose one of the three routes to break first, and then the other two routes would not become too much of a threat.

But now the people of Zhao Guo actually divide their troops into three groups, and disperse the troops that were not as good as the five-nation coalition?

Mr. Chunshen felt that he could not keep up with the train of thought of Mr. Wu Xinjun, Zhao Kuo.

Lieutenant General Jingyang of the Chu Army thought for a while, and said, "If you want me to tell you, this Zhao Kuo probably has nothing to do. He doesn't want us to invade Zhao's territory anyway, so we have to do this! We also You don’t need to worry about him so much, just focus on breaking through him from the front.”

Lord Xinling, the leader of the Wei Army, remembered what the King of Wei told him to preserve his strength before he set off, so he said, "Actually, our Southern Army's strength in numbers is not that obvious. Just open up the advantages first."

On the west road, the 21 Qin army faced the 15 Zhao army. Obviously, that was the road with real advantages, and it was also the most anticipated road in Mr. Xinling's view.

It's just that it's obvious that someone's thinking is different from Mr. Xinling's.

Jingyang snorted and said, "Mr. Xinling's words are wrong! Our road is the closest to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, so we must be the ones who should break through the center! Since Zhao Kuo divided his troops, he He is looking for death, because he has no idea how powerful our fighting power is along the way.

As long as we can defeat Zhao Kuo here, then Handan is close at hand, we can capture King Zhao alive this time, and let this arrogant monarch taste the feeling of being a prisoner of others! "

Lord Xinling looked at Jingyang in shock, what the hell, this old boy is quite crazy, not only does he want to defeat Lord Wuxin Zhao Kuo, but also breaks through Handan to capture King Zhao?

It's just that the Wei State is currently the weakest of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, so even if Lord Xinling is the chief general, he still has much less power to speak than the Chu army's deputy general Jing Jingyang, so he can only keep his mouth shut.

Chun Shenjun couldn't help frowning again when he heard Jingyang's words.

In Chunshen Jun's view, it is quite difficult to confront Zhao Kuo, after all, no one has succeeded before.

Therefore, in Chun Shenjun's heart, he naturally tended to be more stable and better.

It's just that in the current situation, the allied forces of Chu, Wei, and South Korea are superior in strength after all. As the chief general, if Mr. Chunshen speaks too frustrating words, it will definitely affect morale.

Chun Shenjun looked at the South Korean general Jin Fu: "General Jin Fu, what do you think?"

Jin Bing thought for a while with a very serious face, and said, "I think you might as well test Zhao Jun first.

If Zhao Jun's strength is average, then fighting is still possible. If Zhao Jun's strength is very strong, we can wait for breakthroughs from other roads.

Of course, these are just the words of my family, Jin Fu. Chunshen Jun is the chief general this time, and the chief general's decision is the final order of the soldiers of the three armies. "

When Chun Shenjun heard it, good guy, he talked for a long time, as if he had said everything, but in fact it was all a bunch of nonsense.

This kind of bureaucratic attitude sounds like an old politician.

Chunshen Jun said lightly: "Since this is the case, let's move on, first test Zhao Jun's fiction and reality!"

In this regard, the generals have no opinion.

It's just that although a decision was made, the speed of Zhao Jun's march still surprised Chun Shenjun a little bit.

"Pingyang?

Zhao Jun has already arrived in Pingyang? "

Pingyang was once the territory of Wei State, but after several wars, it has now become the territory of Zhao State.

When he heard the word Pingyang, Lord Wei Jun's cheek twitched involuntarily, and the expression on the deputy general Jin Bi's expression was also quite exciting.

Wei Jun was beaten violently by Zhao Kuo in Pingyang City.

Judging from the map, Pingyang is indeed a good place.

Not far to the north of Pingyang is the Yellow River. Both the upstream Suxukou and the downstream Baima Ferry are within the attack range of this city. In other words, as long as the allied forces of Chu, Han and Wei cannot break through Pingyang, there is absolutely no way to go north. Continue to attack Zhao's mainland.

"It's careless."

Jun Shen frowned again, and said, "It would be great if we sent an elite army to seize Pingyang first."

Jingyang obviously didn't care, and said: "What's the big deal, the river stretches for thousands of miles, and there are many ferries!"

Chunshen Jun shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of crossing or not, if the main force of this Zhao army is allowed to stay in Pingyang, even if we can take a detour, how can we guarantee the smooth flow of logistics?

This time, it seems that it is indeed going to have a confrontation with Wu Xinjun in Pingyang. "

Jun Shenjun's veto made Jingyang obviously a little upset, but Jingyang saw that no one else said anything, so he had no choice but to restrain himself.

After all, Jun Shen Chunshen is the main general, and that's what the officials said about crushing people to death.

A moment later, this military meeting ended, and Wei Jun's chief general, Lord Xinling, and his deputy, Jin Bi, walked out of the tent side by side.

Lord Xinling got into the car, saw no one was around, then frowned and said, "General Jin Bi, this battle doesn't look easy."

Jin Bi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why did you say such a thing, Your Majesty?"

Lord Xinling sighed, and said, "Didn't you see Jingyang's expression just now?

He obviously had a different idea from Chun Shenjun.

I have already heard that the three major families of Chu State and Lord Chunshen are constantly fighting with each other, but I didn't expect that the conflict between them has reached such a level that it is barely concealed. "
