"Could it be that you think the general is an old turtle in the pond?"
"We hold a large number of troops and don't think about making progress. Instead, we shrink back to protect ourselves. From my point of view, this strategy is really ridiculous! The general will never do this!"
After Qiang Yu finished speaking, he laughed again, and his laughter was very hearty.
He had been grudged against Zhao Tuo for a long time, and he had just been praised by him, so he didn't want to attack without reason.
At this moment, when Zhao Tuo offered this stupid strategy, he laughed at it and expressed his resentment.
Hearing what Qiang Yu said, the two generals couldn't help but laugh too.
Because the strategy Zhao Tuo mentioned is really funny.
On the order of the King of Qin, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu. The attack was so fierce that he was able to flatten the Chu state in one fell swoop. Even Chu's commander, Yin Xiangyan, could only gather his troops in fear and defend himself on the front line of Huaiyang. neck
Qin is strong and Chu is weak. In this situation, instead of taking advantage of the gathering of troops and their morale to attack Chu State, you instead propose to defend first and then attack, and build barriers to protect yourself. This idea is too ridiculous. ?
Please, our Qin army is the attacker!
Amidst the laughter, Feng Wuze felt something was wrong. Although he also felt that Zhao Tuo's strategy was quite negative and ridiculous. But as far as he understood, Zhao Tuo had always been favored by the king and was a talented military strategist, so it was impossible for him to let him go. I'm afraid there was a deeper meaning in this.
Feng Wuze glanced at Zhao Tuo and saw that he looked calm in the face of Qiang Yu's ridicule, and even had a slight smile on his lips.
When he turned around again, he saw Wang Jian sitting in the main seat with a sullen face and his face was a little blue.
Feng Wuze understood most of it, General Wang seemed to like this style of play.
Sure enough, amidst bursts of laughter, I heard General Wang Jian cough and snort: "Zhao Tuo's strategy is very good according to the current situation and the art of war. I think this strategy is very good." "neck
After Wang Jian finished speaking, the laughter in the tent stopped abruptly.
Qiang Xuan opened his mouth wide, and instinctively squeezed out two dry laughs from his throat. He looked at Wang Jian in disbelief.
"General!"
Qiang Yu shouted: "How good is Zhao Tuo's plan? Our army is 600,000, and Chu's army is only 300,000 or 400,000. The Chu people can definitely be defeated by a large army. As long as Xiang Yan is defeated, our army will be defeated." Drive straight in and sweep across the Chu land. Within a year, we can overthrow the Chu country and return our lives to the king!"
Wang Jian said coldly: "The fighter plane has not arrived yet."
"Although our army is large in number, the Chu army is also large in number. Moreover, the Chu people wait for work in leisure, and the soldiers must fight bravely if they have a mournful heart. Even if our army can win, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties. How can we achieve a complete victory? As Zhao Tuo said It is said that the art of war is to "be invincible first, and then wait for the enemy to be victorious." Our army first defends and then attacks. When the Chu army is slack and the fighting opportunities are revealed, we can then look for opportunities to move and then win. This is how it works A sure way."
When the generals saw Wang Jian's serious look, they thought that the general was also a safe-tempered man and it was normal to choose this strategy of defending first and then attacking, so they said no more. neck
Only Qiang Yu was unconvinced. It would have been fine if someone else had proposed this policy, but it was Zhao Tuo who proposed it, so he would have something to say.
Then Qiang Yu shouted loudly: "Defend, defend! Our army is 600,000 strong, and we spend millions of dan on food and fodder every month!"
….
"According to what Zhao Tuo said, we will not attack. Instead, we will take a defensive position in the Chu area and confront the Chu army. How long will it take to wait for the opportunity?"
"If the fighter planes don't show up, won't our army have to continue to consume it? How much food and baggage our army will consume by then! Have you, Zhao Tuo, ever thought about such a huge loss?"
At the end of the sentence, Qiang Yu opened his eyes wide, stared at Zhao Tuo, and shouted harshly.
Just talk, why are your eyes so wide?
Zhao Tuo complained in his heart. When he saw Wang Jian smiling and saying nothing, he knew that the other party wanted him to explain the reason. neck
Zhao Tuo cleared his throat and then said loudly: "What General Qiangxu said is wrong. Our army of 600,000 people consumes millions of dan of food every month, so shouldn't the Chu army not consume it? They have nearly 400,000 troops. , the monthly consumption of food and fodder is not much less than that of our army!"
"I, the State of Qin
Oxen plowed the fields, and the grain production in Guanzhong increased greatly last year. Aocang in Xingyang was already full of grain. Coupled with the grain and grass transferred from Bashu, Hedong, Hanoi and other places, it was enough to supply our army for nearly a year. What you eat. "
"Not to mention that spring plowing has passed. Our Qin State is implementing the method of retting throughout the country this year. When the autumn harvest comes, the country will surely have a bumper harvest and more food. Even if it lasts until next year's autumn harvest, that's no problem!"
When Zhao Tuo said this, the generals nodded. For Qin, the food was indeed enough.
Last year when Li Xin attacked Chu, the Qin State stocked its warehouses with grain in advance, enough to feed an army of 200,000 for a year.
Unexpectedly, Li Xin was defeated in just a few months, and most of the food in the warehouse was useless. Coupled with the continuous transfer and replenishment, the Qin army would not be short of food at least in the short term.
Zhao Tuo raised his head and continued: "Looking at Jingchu, as far as I know, not only is its agriculture far worse than our Qin country, but it also has many lords, and most of the country's food is in the hands of the lords. There is not much food in the Chu State's treasury."
"This time the Chu State sends troops, the clan soldiers of those clans are supplied with food by their respective lords. In this situation, even if the Chu army is smaller than our army, it will definitely not be able to consume our army, and even before the food is exhausted, In order to protect their own savings, those feudal lords would clamor to withdraw their troops, which is also one of the opportunities for war."
"What's more, although our army has come a long way, the food and grass need to be transported thousands of miles. But in fact, here in Huaiyang, our army can rely on the Chasm Water Transport to transport food from Xingyang. General Cai Yang's army has its back to Ru River, from Yangzhai, Xinzheng and other places in Yingchuan County transport grain."
"Our Qin army uses boat divisions to transport grain down the river. Not only does the transportation time be short, but it also consumes very little. Chu State does not have the advantage of water transportation and cannot transport it against the current. It can only rely on cattle, horses and manpower to transport it. An Neng Can it cost more than our army?”
"So, this battle is based on defense as offense. The Chu army will never be able to defeat our Qin army. As long as we defend ourselves here, we have already won half the battle. When the Chu army runs out of food and grass, or there is an internal problem, then That’s when our army gets full success!”
"Such a strategy only consumes food and fodder, does not harm the soldiers, and has no risk of overthrow. It can destroy the enemy in one fell swoop and overthrow Jingchu. Isn't it wonderful?"
Zhao Tuo finished speaking in one breath, and his words were so passionate that all the generals in the tent were shocked.
Because the strategy in his words has transcended the battlefield and focused on the overall situation. neck
….
Don't engage in any conspiracy, just openly confront the Chu State, and directly use national power to kill the other party.
Not only were the generals in deep thought, but even Qiang Yu was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Zhao Tuo's strategy is great."
Wang Jian smiled while stroking his palms, and said to the generals: "The strategy proposed by Zhao Tuo is the best strategy for military strategists and a strategy for prosperity. Isn't it much better to fight bloody battles on the battlefield and take risks to win? Our army is attacking Chu this time. Then follow Zhao Tuo’s policy.”
When Wang Jian said this, all the generals bowed their heads and obeyed.
Qiang Xu gritted his teeth and blushed.
Zhao Tuo's strategy was well-founded and a sure way to win. Even the general and other generals recognized it. Although he was not angry, he could only bow his head and agree. neck
But Qiang Xu still felt that it was so unpleasant that they still fought this battle in such a frustrating manner despite having a numerical advantage.
"Old turtle!"
"little turtle!"
Qiang Yu cursed a few words in his heart, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Now that the strategy of attacking Chu has been decided, the generals will decide on the specific operations and deployment matters.
After that, Wang Jian asked the generals to go down, leaving Zhao Tuo alone.
"Your strategy just now seems to be just for me?"
Wang Jian looked at the young man in front of him. He was like a worm in his stomach just now. Every word he said spoke to his heart. This kind of thing was by no means accidental.
Wang Jian was sure that Zhao Tuo's strategy was dedicated to himself. If he had another general, he would definitely not say this.
Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "That's what the general said. The strategy that the general just used is actually the strategy used by the general to destroy Zhao in the past."
Wang Jian was startled, and then he remembered.
A few years ago, Wang Jian led the Qin army to attack Zhao, but could not defeat Zhao general Li Mu, so he simply retreated with his soldiers to protect himself, built walls and fortresses for defense, and faced off with Li Mu for half a year.
It wasn't until he bribed Zhao Xiang Guo Kai and finally used a divorce plan to kill Li Mu that he found an opportunity to attack Zhao in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Wang Jian was thinking about it, Zhao Tuo whispered: "In addition to the consumption of national power just now, our army can also use tricks to drive a wedge between Chu King Fu Chu and Xiang Yan, making them suspicious of each other. If the Chu people can change their generals before the battle, , then our army’s victory is determined.”
Wang Jian smiled.
He looked at the young general in front of him and thought that with this kid coming forward, he, Old Wang, would be able to enjoy his old age in peace in the future.
Wang Jian walked over, patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What a Zhao Tuo, you have learned the essence of me fighting on the battlefield."
Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at Wang Jian.
One old and one young, two Qin generals.
In the coach's tent, there was a tacit chuckle.
