However, Lian Po knew it, but Lord Xinling didn’t! Without the support of Lord Xinling, Lian Po knew that he could not mobilize a single soldier, but how to convince Lord Xinling in front of him gave Lian Po a huge headache.
We can't tell Lord Xinling: Zhao Jun has withdrawn, let's withdraw quickly too!
Then Lord Xinling must be crazy? It is not impossible to even abandon the troops and run away directly. After all, the Wei royal family has such a tradition.
What's more, it's difficult to explain your judgment to him.
"General, why did you say this?" Before Lian Po could think of how to persuade Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling first questioned: "Our army is winning steadily now, how can we talk about retreating?"
Lian Po was quite impatient with Lord Xinling's doubts, but he wanted to mobilize the Wei army but could not get around him, so he had to explain briefly: "It is precisely the victory after victory that makes me feel uneasy."
After saying that, Lian Po paused for a moment, looked at the puzzled Lord Xinling, and then continued: "Our army has not added more soldiers since the time of Shen, and the Qin army's counterattack at that time caught me by surprise. But After the passage of time, the Qin army not only did not continue to counterattack, but retreated in large strides, and several key nodes were successively occupied by our army."
Lian Po thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still did not reveal his judgment on Zhao Jun's breakout, but only explained the Qin Army's situation. As for whether Lord Xinling believes it or not, Lian Po has no control over it.
"This is too unusual!" Lian Po added slightly: "The Qin army may have a big conspiracy."
"General, you are overly worried!" Lord Xinling really didn't care at all. He immediately denied Lian Po's idea and said, "Don't you hear that when a person is about to die, there may be a time when the light comes back to him. The Qin army's counterattack will be reflected in the light back. See It seems that the face is rosy, but in fact the inside has been dried up, and the subsequent weakness is as it should be."
"Why don't our army retreat temporarily? Let's take a look at the movements of the Qin army first?" Lian Po thought for a while, but continued to persuade: "I really don't believe that the Qin army is capable of this. Besides, the rear army is already at the mercy of General Jin Bi. The limit may be broken by the Qin army at any time. It is better to lead the army eastward and occupy the barrier to see the effect. The general expected that when the Qin army attacks our rear formation, there should be defenders of the barrier. If they can If we leave at night, the fortress is within easy reach. Whether we advance or retreat at this time is up to me. Isn’t it better than being flanked by Qin at this moment?"
Lord Xinling was slightly startled when he heard this, why do you still want to go to the barrier?
Lian Po's words forced Lord Xinling to think carefully, not only about the war, but also about Lian Po's thoughts. Did you really smell something dangerous? Or do you just want your army to retreat, so as to achieve what purpose?
There is no reason. The main force of the Zhao army is still surrounded. If our army retreats at this time, it will naturally be safe. But what about the Zhao army? They will definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Qin army, so Lian Po will not care about it?
Then why did Lian Po have to make such a hard trip to our country, Wei?
Moreover, once the Qin army has solved the Zhao army in the encirclement, it will still have to fight decisively. It is better to continue fighting while the Zhao army still has fighting strength.
It can be said that Lian Po's plan seems a bit weird whether from the perspective of Zhao or Wei.
The only possibility is that Lian Po had to do this - he really smelled danger.
Lord Xinling shook his head and continued to look at the battle ahead. He looked at the Qin army that was being beaten everywhere. It was obvious that their combat strength was in critical condition due to the long-term fierce battle. There was no conspiracy.
Some people say: The most difficult thing in the world is to pour your thoughts into other people's minds, especially when the person on the other side already has clear and opposite thoughts.
Apparently Lord Xinling is like this.
At the beginning of the war, the so-called promise of "listening to General Lian Po's orders" had long been lost by Lord Xinling. The statement of "returning to the light" had obviously brainwashed Lord Xinling, and he hesitated in the face of Lian Po. Feeling vague, Lord Xinling decided to trust his own eyes and feelings.
"General, you are worrying too much!" Lord Xinling continued to say with a smile: "The Qin army is all here. Even if the King of Qin wants to mobilize reinforcements from Bashu and Guanzhong, it will not take a while. If our army withdraws easily, then We have fallen into the Qin army's delaying plan. Besides, tens of thousands of Qin troops in the rear are blocking the road. It is extremely difficult to break through and reach Danshui."
Lord Xinling's words certainly made sense. If Lian Po had not already judged the fact that Zhao Jun was withdrawing, he would have followed Lord Xinling's thoughts. However, when the Qin army was convinced that the Zhao army had broken through, there was only one possibility for the Qin army to do this: to induce themselves to continue the attack, and then give themselves a fatal blow at an unexpected time.
However, Lian Po has already said everything that should be said and should not be said. If he continues to say it, it may hurt his temper. And Lian Po realized that what he just said was a bit too much. If he said more, Lord Xinling in front of him might find something fishy.
Immediately sighing, Lian Po stopped talking and continued to command the Wei army under his command, trying to kill as many Qin troops as possible on this last night.
It's been an extremely long night! The 20,000 troops led by Bai Qi have quietly entered Sima Cuo's camp, and quietly replaced some of Sima Cuo's soldiers with 5,000 people. The remaining 15,000 people, mixed with the 5,000 troops they replaced, all Repaired in camp.
The 60,000-strong army on the periphery also received Bai Qi's general order to reduce the intensity of the attack, especially the cavalry. Because they were afraid that random trampling in the dark would damage the horses, they gradually stopped sending cavalry troops.
The battle in the southeast immediately became easier. The Qin army slowly retracted its fists and recuperated its strength, preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Wei army after dawn in conjunction with Bai Qi's internal army.
To the north, the Qin army, which had eaten a lot of dust, after killing more than a thousand Zhao Jun, watched Zhao Jun slowly disappear into the mountains and forests, and finally gave up the pursuit, leaving a thousand people behind to prevent Zhao Jun from returning. After retreating, the remaining 30,000 troops were slightly prepared, and then according to Wu'an Jun Bai Qi's order, he led his army to join him and throw them away.
And Zhao Jun, who entered the mountain forest, was like a dragon in the sea, completely alive.
Zoumaling is not a ridge wide enough for a horse to walk, but a ridge that a horse will miss if he enters it. Even the local people in Shangdang dare not travel easily through it. The countless forked roads will soon lead people to the unknown abyss. .
However, when Zhao Jun entered it, there was no hindrance at all. The detective horses leading the way were more familiar with the roads than the locals. And under Zhao Jun's feet, there were roads that were discovered and then covered up... ....
