When Bai Qi heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Not to mention other things, the food and grass left by Wei State alone is quite crucial, and it can even be said to have saved the life of the Qin army. If it weren't for this batch of food and grass, Qin's army of hundreds of thousands would have been completely out of food five or six days ago, and Zhao's attack would have started long ago. The tens of thousands of troops in Shangdang territory could not wait for the King of Qin to rescue them.
But it cannot be said that the Wei army did not deserve to enjoy the results of victory. After all, it was the joining of the Wei army that made the Qin army make a series of maneuvers. Only with the Qin army's maneuvers did the Zhao army have the opportunity to besiege the Qin army. What's more, the more than 100,000 Wei troops still caused tens of thousands of losses to the Qin army.
However, it is obvious that the right to speak now is completely in the hands of Zhao Kuo, and the Wei State and Wei Army, whose combat power has been greatly damaged again, have no right to speak at all. Even under the threat of Qin, Wei had to follow Zhao's footsteps in order to get protection from Zhao.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi suddenly realized that these were all just excuses. Even if the Wei army did not evacuate in advance, in the end, even if the Wei army was not completely wiped out, there would still be very few left. Under such circumstances, could Zhao Kuo take Hanoi? Will the land be surrendered to Wei?
Obviously not.
"You have never thought of giving Wei the land in Hanoi." Bai Qi's sharp eyes glanced at Zhao Kuo who was pouring wine.
Zhao Kuo also gave a rare embarrassed smile and said: "Don't tell the truth when you see it, keep on being friends. The reality is already so difficult, why not just let it go?"
Bai Qi was instantly amused by Zhao Kuo's joke. He only thought about it briefly, but it made sense.
Indeed, so what if he knew it. Even Lord Xinling now probably should have known that he had been deceived, but so what? I'm afraid I can't even tell the truth like myself, because if the Wei State wants to continue to survive, it must continue to be friends with the Zhao State.
If you are beaten, you will be beaten. If you are bullied, you will be bullied. You still have to say that it is a good fight and a good bully.
This is reality, naked reality.
Bai Qi finally knew that he had not lost this battle unjustly. From the beginning, people knew what Qin's plan was, and they also knew their own strength better.
Taking risks to hide troops, one is to save the last fire for Zhao State, and the other is to prepare for counterattack;
In order to deceive the Wei State, the situation after the war was clearly considered. As long as the Wei State sends troops, the outcome will no longer be determined by King Wei or Lord Xinling.
As for his own Qin army, it had failed if it failed to break through Zhao's vast positions in the shortest time.
It can be said that in the battle of Shangdang, Zhao Kuo successfully controlled the power of the Three Kingdoms and nearly one million troops.
Bai Qi stared deeply at the young man in front of him. Wen Neng strategized and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Wu Neng raised his sword and mounted his horse, defeating several ballistas. If he were ten or twenty years younger, he would be this boy. Opponent?
Disaster! Maybe they could fight with force, but Bai Qi asked himself that it would be difficult to do it if he had laid many traps a few months ago and used a weak force to push the two big countries into despair step by step.
Perhaps only Su Qin, who was known as the first guest in the Warring States Period, could have such a layout!
Even Su Qin couldn't resist Zhao Kuo.
Because although Zhao Kuo had many conspiracies, most of them were conspiracy. Just like now, he had to voluntarily sacrifice his life to protect the army of hundreds of thousands behind him.
The most important thing is that the person in front of me is no more than thirty years old. There is still much to be done. If it is allowed to develop, Zhao will be free from foreign aggression for at least thirty years, and even...
A thought suddenly broke into his mind: This is no longer about hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, but even hurting the enemy by eight hundred and losing one thousand. Perhaps with his old life and half-broken body, Zhao Kuo will never be able to enter the battlefield. This is not the blessing of Zhao, but the blessing of Qin? !
Bai Qi raised his head, drank another cup of yellow wine, and his face gradually turned red.
"Is it worth it?" Bai Qifu looked at Zhao Kuo again and finally asked the question that was buried deep in his heart.
Zhao Kuo was slightly startled when he heard this - is it worth it? Defrauding Wei's reinforcements? I have nothing to lose! not to mention
At that time, he was about to die, and the Zhao State was about to be destroyed, so how could he care about that? Not to mention that there was no written commitment, even if Wei Guo wanted to seal his seal, he would probably just throw the seal away.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo didn't answer, Bai Qi immediately understood that he seemed to have jumped too far. He was talking about Wei State just now, and as he was thinking about it, he was thinking about himself.
Then Bai Qi put down the wine baron, sat upright, looked into Zhao Kuo's eyes, and asked sincerely: "Qi, I'm only 6 years old, and half of my body has already fallen into the ground. Even if I have some means, they are nothing in front of the general." Er. Is it worth exchanging the general’s great career and years for an old man’s life?”
Seeing Bai Qi's serious look, Zhao Kuo also drank the wine in his glass and sat uprightly. But without even the slightest thought, Zhao Kuo blurted out his answer: "It's worth it!"
After briefly organizing his words, Zhao Kuo then said slowly: "The defeat of Shangdang has nothing to do with anything else. It's just that King Qin or Mr. Wu An's appetite was too big, so I found an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Rumors were spreading in the city of Handan, and when the courtiers and ministers forced me to go into battle, I already knew that the Qin State's plan was not just a place in Shangdang, but Zhao State's hundreds of thousands of troops, which they wanted to wipe out in one fell swoop. The only resistance force of the six Shandong countries is to establish the unification of Qin in one fell swoop!" Zhao Kuo also looked at Bai Qi and said seriously.
"Therefore, I dare to hide my troops in the mountains with abundant supplies, and with a large army of hundreds of thousands of young and strong people, I dare to storm the fortress. Therefore, I dare to still calmly defend the fortress when the army is surrounded. Stay where you are." Zhao Kuo continued.
"If Mr. Wu An, your appetite is not so big, and you turn into a whale and cannibalize me, our Zhao army will have no chance of winning." Zhao Kuo sighed and said.
Bai Qi nodded after hearing this. Indeed, if he had not been committed to annihilating Zhao Jun, he would not have given Zhao Jun so many opportunities. It was even impossible for Zhao Jun to cross Danshui.
But he obviously misjudged Zhao Kuo's ability, and he didn't know that his ideas were almost laid out in front of Zhao Kuo. Under such circumstances, Qin's defeat was inevitable.
Zhao Kuo agreed with his opinion, and then continued: "Not to mention how my ability is compared to yourselves. What I know is that Zhao's national power is not as powerful as Qin's. Even after the victory in this battle, It's a far cry. If Lord Wu An comes again next year with his troops, camp step by step, and fight slowly, I really don't know what chance Zhao has of winning, let alone how to deal with it."
"therefore......"
There is no need to say the next words, Bai Qi already understood.
