At this point, Lord Xinling paused for a moment, looked at Lian Po, whose face was already a little worried, and immediately continued to add: "Although he is a general, he is still young and energetic, and lacks experience. Even though he has military skills, Although he has no experience in fighting a large army, he can serve as the commander of a partial division of tens of thousands. How can he serve as the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands? Then Shangdang and Zhao will be in danger."
As he spoke, Lord Xinling couldn't help but become anxious.
It’s no wonder that Lord Ling is not in a hurry. Anyone with a little sense understands how taboo it is for the Zhao State to change generals before battle. Moreover, the one he replaces is a young guy with no hair on his head. Anyone would think that the Zhao State—— Completely finished.
Once Zhao, the only country that could even compete with Qin, is completely finished, there is no need to say who's turn will be next. The State of Wei and the State of Qin have a long-standing feud and a dispute over geographical advantages. They are the only way for the State of Qin to go east. If the State of Wei is not attacked, Lord Xinling himself will not believe it.
In just a moment, Lord Xinling understood that Wei's national policy must change. Originally, he wanted to let Qin and Zhao fight each other so that Wei could reap the benefits. But now it seems that Zhao's army is in danger. , maybe the Qin State is still kind of innocent, which is something that the Wei State cannot accept at any cost!
Wanting to understand this, Lord Xinling immediately seemed to understand Lian Po Wei's intention of coming in disguise at night.
"Don't worry, Old General Lian. I will meet my king now. Chen Ming is very powerful. Then my King will send a letter to King Zhao to ensure that Old General Lian regains control of the military!" Lord Xinling promised, patting his chest.
When Lian Po heard this, he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It's too late! After I left office, I wanted to go back to Handan to communicate with my king and try to convince him face to face. But before I could rush back to Handan, I went to The party's battlefield has undergone tremendous changes, making it meaningless for me to fly back to Handan."
"After thinking about it for a while, I decided to change my route and come to the Wei Kingdom. The current plan is that only if the King of Wei sends troops, we may be able to save Zhao from any eventuality." Lian Po stared at Lord Xinling with a burning gaze. The words were even more sincere.
Everything Lian Po said is basically consistent with the facts, but of course it is not the whole truth. Telling a lie with partial facts will make the lie more realistic.
Sure enough, Lord Xinling had no doubts about Lian Po's words.
"What happened on the Changping battlefield? The veteran was so disappointed! Has the barrier been breached?" Although the already attracted Lord Xinling did not immediately agree to Lian Po's request, the urgency in his words betrayed his heart. .
Lord Xinling was eager to know what happened on the battlefield in Changping or Shangdang.
Of course, this was also expected by Lian Po and Zhao Kuo.
"After handing over to me, Zhao Kuo replaced his generals without stopping. The rare cavalry generals under his command Zhou Qi were actually sent to guard the food and crops. It was not a big deal to change the generals. In a few days, Zhao Kuo Kuo then issued a bold order: The whole army should cross westward and divide into three groups to capture the Qin army's fortress on the west bank of Dan River."
What Lian Po said is still true, but it is not the whole truth.
Zhou Qi was promoted openly and secretly, but the purpose was to hide the main force of the 100,000 Zhao army. Of course, only a few people knew this fact, and it was impossible for Lian Po to tell Lord Xinling.
And because of Zhou Qi's history of being promoted from high to low, Zhao Kuo's next actions will appear even more "unreasonable".
"But he was defeated by the Qin army?" Lord Xinling asked quickly
"If that's the case, that's good!" Lian Po smiled bitterly and continued: "If the Qin army can be defeated, even if it suffers a few heavy losses, it will only result in the loss of some military strength. The main force can calmly retreat to the east bank barrier. Even if the situation is worse, Qin If the army follows and attacks, it is nothing more than a strong man cutting off his wrists, leaving some troops to guard the barrier, and the main force to retreat to the Bailishi Great Wall defense line. As long as the main force of our army is still there, the Qin army will not be able to occupy the front line of Shangdang."
"Since they are not defeated, what happened? Is it possible that the Qin army can still annihilate Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops at the Danshui Barrier?" Lord Xinling asked with some confusion.
"According to the latest battle report: Our Zhao army raided the Qin army's west bank barrier. It took a whole day and night to seize the Qin army's entire line of barriers on the west bank of Danshui. We killed and wounded a total of about 100,000 Qin army infantry and cavalry people, while our own army suffered less than 80,000 casualties!" Lian Po did not hide anything, and immediately told in detail the battle situation on the Danshui front line.
"Oh?" Lord Xinling, as a die-hard person who unites Zhao and opposes Qin, suddenly became excited when he heard that the Zhao army captured the Qin army's fortress and killed more than 100,000 Qin soldiers. Of course, it should be obvious that Zhao Jun lost 80,000 troops.
"Isn't this a great victory?" While excited, Lord Xinling thought of General Lian Po's purpose and couldn't help but raise the question again.
"Win the battle?! Lord Xinling, if the Qin army can really be defeated with a surprise attack, why would our Zhao army have been defending on the east bank of Danshui for more than three years and not dare to cross a step west? If the Qin army is so weak that the defense will suffer casualties but there will be no more attacks. How come we, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, have repeatedly hit the wall in front of Hangu Pass?" Lian Po twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said rather disdainfully.
"this……"
Lord Xinling was suddenly at a loss for words, and his mind was racing again.
What Lian Po said makes sense. The military discipline and combat power of the Qin army are witnessed by all the countries. Not only are they waiting day and night, but they will never neglect their defense.
Fortunately, by chance, Zhao Kuo, who had just taken office, was given such a big opportunity?
Even if the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo was a surprise attack, how could the dozens of miles long barrier defense line change hands so easily. Even if it changes hands, how can it only last for one day and night and then lose all the barriers?
Panic, stalemate, and counterattack, is this how the Qin army should react? As for the Qin army's barrier on the west bank of Danshui, they must hold on for three to five days no matter what!
Seeing that Lord Xinling was falling into doubt, Lian Po immediately continued his analysis: "What's even more terrible is that after our army captured the barrier, we only took a short rest before continuing to advance westward, aiming directly at Guanglang City!"
"Old General Lian, how did you judge?" Lord Xinling obviously believed Lian Po's statement that the Zhao army was in danger.
He didn't know Zhao Kuo very well, but he did a lot of research on the Qin State, his old rival and enemy - in the Qin State, losing land was like losing a life, and the Qin army did not think about how to regain it, but instead Let Zhao Jun march straight in to Light Wolf City?
How abnormal!
"I judge that this is the Qin army's strategy to lure the enemy." Lian Po said with certainty: "The Qin army's intention is to lure our entire army across the Dan River from Guanglang City and Shangdang. Attack Guanglang City with all our strength, then divide our forces to cut off our army's rear route, thus trapping our main force and the west bank of Danshui River."
