Lian Po, who knew where the enemy was, immediately reprimanded: "How can this be done? The king ordered to set out from Daliang, and it would take at least two days to reach the Qin and Wei border, and it would take another two days for the scouts sent from the Qin and Wei border to reach the Changping battlefield. The scouts reported , the king ordered to reply, even if there was no delay on the way, it would be another four days. After finding out the situation, the king ordered to send out the army, at least ten days later, the army was slightly prepared, and the time was gone again in four or five days, the army set off, and the main force It will take another two to three days to arrive at the Changping battlefield."
"This trip will take at least twenty days. Our army is short of food. We only carry three days of food every day. Even if we distribute the minimum rations, we will definitely not be able to delay it for five to six days. Even if we kill the horses for food, we will delay it for at most one day. In two days, from the eighth to the tenth, if there is no reinforcement, our army will be completely destroyed. After twenty days, the Qin army will have already annexed our army, so there is no need to talk about internal and external attacks!" Lian Po flexed his fingers and carefully prepared for Lord Xinling. analyzed.
Obviously, Lian Po wanted to provide Lord Xinling with enough military information that was difficult for ordinary people to obtain and be clear, so that Lord Xinling could use this information to attack the target he wanted to attack.
Coincidentally, what Lord Xinling wanted was also revealed to Lian Po unintentionally.
"Hey, fighting Han is killing Han. You are a good hand at making merits on the battlefield, but political mediation is useless! In just a few words, I got the Zhao army out of the bottom line - they will be defeated in ten days." Lord Xinling thought in his heart Secretly surprised.
Yes, Lian Po's message was too detailed. From the rations Zhao Jun carried to the maximum time he could last, Lian Po gave a detailed explanation and analysis.
However, what Lord Xinling didn't know was that in this seemingly clear message, Lian Po told a huge lie about the rations.
The rations carried by the Zhao army were far more than three days' worth of food. Not to mention the food stored in each fort, even the rations carried by the battalion-based troops were as much as twelve days' worth. This is also one of the reasons why the Northern Route Cavalry complained that there were not enough horses to transport grain.
If the food in the barrier is added, Zhao Jun's 300,000 troops do not even need to be too frugal with food, and they can easily hold on for twenty or thirty days.
This is Zhao Kuo's second move in addition to hiding troops in the stronghold at Daliang Mountain - hiding grain in the troops.
However, because Lian Po has always been "sincere" and the message just came out unintentionally, Lord Xinling naturally believed it.
Lord Xinling, who had already figured out Zhao Jun's background, suddenly lost interest. He had carefully prepared several plans for this, and even prepared to sing a double act with King Wei! Unexpectedly, Lian Po revealed everything so quickly before he had finished all his moves, which made Lord Xinling feel like he had punched cotton.
Of course, although the information has been tricked out, the face-saving matters still need to be continued. The topic must have a beginning and an end, otherwise it will be bad if Lian Po sees that he is telling a story - it will affect the friendship between Wei and Zhao!
Lord Xinling immediately asked stupidly, not wanting to believe it: "How could it be so? The Zhao army is so powerful that it would not collapse so quickly!"
As soon as Lord Xinling said these knowing words, Lian Po immediately understood Lord Xinling's intentions.
You are a young master, and you are a famous young master in the Seven Kingdoms. You are so ignorant of military matters. Even if you are not as thorough as a general, you have never learned such a simple principle as "the soldiers and horses have to move before the food and grass are moved".
The only explanation is that Lord Xinling is deliberately pretending to be stupid and asking questions knowingly. And Lord Xinling knowingly asked what was most important to him - when will the Zhao army collapse?
The purpose of the previous discussions was to find out how long their own army could last, so that they could intervene on the battlefield when their own army had almost lost its combat effectiveness, so as to obtain the greatest benefits - Qin and Zhao were weak to each other.
After understanding Lord Xinling's thoughts, Lian Po responded more calmly. Without him, lies would have been mixed with the truth.
Therefore, Lian Po followed his plan and patiently learned what he learned among the generals: "Mr. It’s the low morale and the lack of military orders! People are so hungry that they can do anything. The only problem is the disaster of camp roar!”
Of course Lord Xinling knew the principle of "movement of food and fodder before troops and horses", otherwise it would not have been possible to compile the military book "Wei Gongzi" in real history, and even lead the army of the Six Kingdoms to leap over Hangu Pass.
Knowing that he knew it, Lord Xinling still pretended to be taught, and even replied hurriedly: "The general's words are reasonable. It is my fault. I don't understand the urgency of the military and do not understand the hunger of human nature." . I will enter the palace immediately and ask my king to send troops as soon as possible no matter what."
After saying this, Lord Xinling stood up, looked at Lian Po sincerely, and said with a slight salute: "I also ask General Lian Po to follow me into the palace to convince my king."
If he hadn't known that Lord Xinling was deliberately trying to trick him, looking at Lord Xinling's sincere eyes and polite behavior, Lian Po would have been fooled by him.
However, when it comes to acting skills, Lian Po is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.
"I don't dare to ask for your advice!" Lian Po also responded to Lord Xinling with a sincere and positive expression.
After saying this, the two of them bowed to each other, then rode in a carriage together and slowly arrived in front of the palace gate.
After an inspection, Lian Po was taken to a side hall a little further away to wait for the summons from King Wei.
As for Lord Xinling, he was taken directly to the main hall. In the main hall, King Wei and several important ministers, including Lord Longyang, were already waiting here. Although Lord Xinling arrived later than expected, They have learned a lot, but no one wants to leave even half a step. After all, no one wants to miss every important node of Wei's re-emergence.
Of course, what is more important is the countless benefits arising from the rise.
"Ten days! Ten days..."
Still, the sound arrives first before the person arrives;
Still walking two or three steps quickly, asking for water in a hurry;
I still grab the pot and drink it, but this pot of tea, well, seems to belong to Lord Long Yang...
Lord Xinling once again moved the scene that he performed very successfully in front of Lian Po to the palace of King Wei. Fortunately, Lord Longyang did not have the habit of blowing to each other.
After drinking a pot of water, Mr. Xinling looked around and looked at the probing and eager eyes of everyone. Mr. Xinling knew that his performance was successful again.
His eyes slowly focused on King Wei. Without waiting for King Wei to ask, he clasped his hands and said, "I have learned from General Lian Po that the Zhao army only carries three days' worth of food!"
"Three days, didn't you just say it was ten days?" An important minister asked without waiting for Lord Xinling to finish.
Lord Xinling gave this important minister a hard look, and dared to steal Lord Xinling's words. It is estimated that this important minister will become lighter soon, and then gradually become lighter and farther away and disappear without a trace!
"Let me speak slowly..."
