But when Le Jian heard these words, it was extremely harsh!
Let’s not talk about whether we can win the Zhao State in this battle. Even if we are lucky enough to win the Zhao State and obtain the land of Zhao State, even if everything goes as Li Fu said, even Zhao Kuo will defect to him. Can Yan State's next step be to continue to dismember Zhao State?
How many people without foresight are needed to share Zhao with Qin?
You know, the national strength of the Zhao State is not as good as the Qin State, and you were severely chopped in the back by the Yan State, making it even weaker.
You want to counterattack, but you don't want to unite Zhao State a little at this time so that Zhao State can continue to withstand Qin State. Instead, you continue to follow Qin State and continue to persecute Zhao State. Isn't this looking for death?
Once Qin State moves the mountain of Zhao State away, will Yan State face Qin State soon?
Even if the Yan State can get the Handan County of Zhao State in the banquet of carving up the Zhao State, will it be the opponent of the Qin State after annexing Shangdang and Hanoi County with this national strength?
This is no longer planning for the future of the country, but groundless speculation!
However, Lejian still did not leave work, because Lejian knew that no matter how he presented the facts and reasoned, it would be useless to King Yan, whose head was already seriously heated.
What's more, this first level: winning the Zhao Kingdom is an impossible task in Le Jian's mind, let alone the subsequent carving up of the Zhao Kingdom. Instead of wasting your breath arguing about meaningless things now, it is better to let the facts educate this crazy prime minister and obsessed king.
Naturally, Jiang Qu also had a look of disdain on his face. Just as he was about to leave the office to refute, he saw Le Jian in front of him turning his head and shaking his head slightly. In an instant, Jiang Qu understood what Le Jian meant and simply stopped walking. .
However, what Lejian and Jiangqu never expected was that their mentality of watching the excitement was, in Lifu's view, a form of concession. And as his opponent gave in, Lifu was on the road to death. He is also making great strides forward.
"How to arrange troops and formations, please teach me by the Prime Minister!" King Yan tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and respectfully asked Li Fu for advice.
No wonder King Yan is not excited! After many years, I finally saw the glorious scene when Qi was destroyed, and finally saw the hope of the rise of Yan! How can you not be excited and excited!
You know, back then, Yan was just a little bit close to destroying Qi, becoming the overlord to the east of the vassal states, and competing with Qin.
If the Yan Kingdom had never been so glorious, perhaps the King of Yan would not be so eager. But the Yan State almost reached the top of the world.
It doesn't matter to the toad who has only seen a square inch of the sky in the well. Although he also wants to take a look at the well, in his heart, it is nothing more than moving from one small world to another, and there is no such necessity to jump.
I am afraid of those toads who stand at the mouth of the well and glance at the endless blue sky, but then fall into the well. In their hearts, the vast world has long been an indelible existence.
After hearing King Yan's words, Qu and Lejian looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then they both sighed helplessly in their hearts. It was impossible for the Prime Minister in such a crazy state to come up with any clever plan, and they could only hope. There are no huge pitfalls in his plan, so that's pretty good.
Unfortunately, things in the world tend to move in the direction that people least want to see.
When faced with King Yan's question, Li Fu was obviously well prepared.
After nodding slightly, he began to point out the country on the map: "To my king, I want: our army should expand its military preparations and send out 160,000 troops. The main force is 100,000 along the way, leaving Jicheng, passing Anping, and taking the road to Haocheng. , and then approached Handan; the other route was a partial division, with 60,000 troops, leaving Jicheng, passing by Wu Sui, and directly inserted into the city of Yan, and simply blocked Daijun and cut off the communication between Daijun and Handan County! The main force is under Handan City , forcing King Zhao to sign an alliance under the city and cede the land of Daijun to me! Then I returned to the army and coordinated with the partial troops to capture Daijun."
Hearing this, King Yan has not yet reacted, but Lord Changguo Lejian over there has already gone crazy!
"This is absolutely impossible!" Le Jian immediately said: "My king, Rong Zhen, our army is already weak in combat strength. In a battle with the elite Zhao army, we have to have a military advantage to win. Now our Yan army is almost in full force. out
, but divided the troops into two places, with a main force of 100,000 and a partial force of 60,000. This is a taboo for military strategists who do not distinguish priorities and disperse their forces. "
"I am deeply afraid that neither the main army nor the partial army will be able to complete the task! A hundred thousand troops attack Handan, but the strength is only twice that of the defenders of Handan. Considering the strength of Handan City, how can we attack with only twice the army? If we cannot attack for a long time, Once the troops from Shangdang and Hanoi counties move northward, our army will regret it immensely.
Secondly, a partial force of 60,000 troops was stationed in Yanyu. Although it could separate the communication between Handan County and Dai County, it was actually a waste of troops.
I intend to block Yulan and the city with 10,000 to 20,000 partial troops, but that's okay!
Concentrate the main force of 140,000 to 50,000 troops to attack Handan quickly and forcefully! This is a foolproof strategy! "
Le Jian didn't care about so much anymore. Although he was extremely reluctant to advise Li Fu's strategy, if he really followed Li Fu's troop formation arrangements, I'm afraid that Yan State's entire family fortune would have to be handed over to Zhao State. .
There was no other way, Le Jian could only follow Li Fu's strategy and come up with a strategy that seemed pretty good. Of course, only Le Jian himself knew that his strategy was actually not a strategy for victory at all, it could even be said to be a strategy for defeat.
The difference from the tactics used by Prime Minister Li Fu is that in the defeat of Rakuma, the losses will be minimized.
That's right, the more than 10,000 troops in Yanyu City are the chess pieces that Lejian is prepared to sacrifice. Once Handan City is attacked, Zhao Kuo will most likely lead his army south to break through or annihilate Yanyu City. With more than 10,000 troops, Yan will withdraw from this war without retreating.
And if Li Fu's tactics were followed, Yan Yu might be able to hold on for a period of time, and then the city of Handan would be beaten into a panic. What was waiting for the Yan army was that the Shangdang and Henei armies would march north, and then they would be surrounded by counterattacks and completely annihilated in Zhao.
Using more than 10,000 troops in exchange for the survival of the main force of more than 100,000 troops, in Le Jian's view, this may be the only way to awaken the courtiers.
Of course, Le Jian knew very well that although his tactics could retain most of the Yan army, he also tried to alert the King of Yan and his ministers from the defeat. But it has to be said that there is another possibility. King Yan did not realize the strategic error and attributed the failure of the battle to the failure of Lejian's tactics.
In this case, Lejian may become the abandoned son of Yan Kingdom!
Le Jian understood that the possibility of the latter was even much higher than that of the former, but he still spoke out his tactics without hesitation. As a minister of the Yan Kingdom, it was the last time that he obeyed fate. Even if he is finally convicted as a sinner of the Yan Kingdom, he at least has a clear conscience and can be regarded as repaying King Yan for his generous care over the years. Chinese website
Unfortunately, not everyone can seek kindness and receive kindness.
Before King Yan could carefully consider the pros and cons of the two tactics, Qing Qin had already begun to refute Lejian's tactics.
"Mr. Chang Guo's words are wrong!" Qing Qin said: "At present, there are actually only two main troops of Zhao State. One is the troops to defend Daijun in the north from the Hu people, and the other is the troops left over from the Battle of Changping. . However, only 130,000 to 40,000 people were left in Changping. Among them, 100,000 troops were in Shangdang and Hanoi counties, and another 10,000 troops followed Zhao Kuo to Daijun in the north. Therefore, there are currently no more than 20,000 to 30,000 people in Handan City, and He can hardly be called an elite teacher."
Qing Qin pointed at the map and continued: "Our army attacked with one hundred thousand troops, which was three times more than theirs. How can we say twice as much? One hundred thousand versus thirty thousand, I have the advantage! And if we defeat Huan and The number of troops in the city was reduced. Although Zhao Kuo was hindered by the barbarians, it was not difficult to mobilize more than 10,000 soldiers to return reinforcements. Once Zhao Kuo led 10,000 soldiers to return reinforcements, how could you and the army in the city stop Zhao Kuo, who only had 10,000 people? Including returning reinforcements, under the attack of the two sides, even if our army is not defeated, it will lose the offensive advantage. In this way, the whole army will collapse."
"What General Qin Qin said is true!" Li Fu continued: "Let me tell you from the scouts: the army stationed in Handan is the weakest in combat power left in Changping, with 100,000 elites facing off against 30,000. A weak brigade should not be a problem. Moreover, our army is a coercion. Although we can attack everything, we are not sure to defeat the city.
But it is Zhao Kuo of Daijun. If he is allowed to escape from the prison of Daijun, even though he has the power of ten thousand people, he cannot be underestimated! The cunningness of his battle is even greater than that of Tian Dan, Bai Qi and others, and my king cannot ignore it. Moreover, if Zhao Kuo escapes, even if our army wins, the result will be halved. "
"Still in Tiandan, Baiqi, etc.
As soon as the words "Above all people" came out, the entire court fell silent. It is not the reputation that Lord Wu An has gained in vain, but the reputation that equals Lord Tian Dan.
No matter how famous Bai Qi was for slaughtering people, the officials and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom could not see him in person, but Tian Dan's ferocity was still fresh in everyone's memory - the fire bulls charged into the formation of Jimo City and led his army to attack seventy-two consecutive times. City, this is Tian Dan's proud achievement, but it is the shame and haze that the entire Yan Kingdom can never erase.
It can be said that Yan Guo knew the role that an excellent general could play in a battle.
Such a fierce Tian Dan was willing to play a supporting role for Zhao Kuo on the Changping battlefield. How strong was Zhao Kuo? No need to say more! No matter how much Yan Guo attaches importance to it, it cannot be overemphasized!
Now Lejian only wants to send an army of ten to twenty thousand to intercept such a genius general. Isn't this repeating the same mistake as Jimo City?
Immediately, everyone killed Lejian's plan in their hearts.
King Yan was even more direct. He finalized the tactics of the war without waiting for Le Jian and others to refute: "What the Prime Minister said makes sense! Zhao Kuo is a man who cannot be careless and guard against. The strength of the troops to attack Zhao is Distribution will be based on the instructions of the Prime Minister."
Hearing this, Lejian was already in deep despair. An army of 10,000 to 20,000 people could not stop Zhao Kuo, but an army of 60,000 people could definitely stop him? Do you think too highly of your own abilities, or do you think too little of the abilities of Zhao Jun under the command of Zhao Kuo?
Although he knew that Yan State was about to be in danger due to the madness of the Prime Minister, Le Jian did not refute again...
