Hold on, we can win!
This is all Zhao Kuo's strategy and his upright conspiracy.
Although everyone knew that such a strategy would consume a lot of food and time, everyone present had to admit that this was the safest way to defeat Qin when they were not sure.
First with the persistence of General Lian Po, and then with the handwriting of King Zhao, even though the generals of several countries wanted to rush out immediately to give the Qin army a fatal blow, they were helpless due to their own strength and could only follow orders.
"The 40,000 soldiers under the Chu State are willing to follow the order of King Zhao to form a stronghold and clear out bad debts!" Chu State, as an ally, was the first to express his position, even though he was the one who danced the most happily just now.
Before leaving, the King of Chu had explained that we only have no border with the State of Zhao. If there is one trustworthy country among the three countries, it must be the State of Zhao. And Chu State's only ally is Zhao State. Even the Chu State sent troops only because of the Zhao State.
Although for the sake of his own achievements, Chu would choose Lord Xinling without hesitation, but if it was for the sake of defeating Qin and for the sake of his own Chu country, the general of Chu country would quickly adjust his mentality - don't offend anyone but Zhao. country.
The Chu State General's statement did not reveal that Han Zhiguo, who had already decided to advance and retreat with Chu State, also immediately said: "Han Zhiguo's 50,000-strong army is willing to obey the order of King Zhao."
In an instant, the situation that was originally three and one-half to one turned into one and one-half to three just because of Zhao Kuo's tip.
How to play this?
Even if Lord Xinling is the so-called commander-in-chief, he cannot stop the three kingdoms from uniting. Especially the endorsement from Zhao Kuo later.
Helpless, Lord Xinling could only say helplessly: "Since King Zhao has an order, I naturally have no intention of disobeying it, but if there is a definite opportunity, we should still attack decisively."
Obviously, Lord Xinling, who had to give in, tried to plant the final seeds.
Naturally, Lian Po would not refuse to agree to such a request. Lian Po immediately smiled and said: "This is natural. My king's intention is just to make our army invincible and finally take it. If there is a chance of victory, we naturally cannot let it go."
After hearing Lian Po's affirmative reply, Lord Xinling felt slightly relieved, and then nodded silently, agreeing with Lian Po's tactics.
The battle strategy has been decided, and Lian Po immediately continued: "In this case, please ask Lord Xinling to issue an order, and the army will march towards Luodu slowly!"
"Now?" Lord Xinling looked at the darkening sky outside the tent and asked with some confusion.
"Of course." Lian Po immediately said with a smile: "Although it is not appropriate for our army to fight the Qin army at this time, we cannot let the Qin army sleep well. We must keep the Qin army under the deterrence of our army at all times. .”
After hearing this, Lord Xinling felt that there was some truth in it.
"What if the Qin army attacks?" Lord Xinling asked immediately.
"My army is advancing slowly. If we encounter an invading enemy, the main forces of Wei, Han, and Chu can camp on the spot for defense. I will lead the cavalry to protect them." Lian Po seemed to have expected Lord Xinling's question, and he almost didn't After stopping, he replied: "The Qin army has been fighting fiercely for several days. If they attack again, their strength will be damaged. This will be the opportunity your Majesty has been waiting for."
"Yes." Lord Xinling nodded again when he heard this.
Then he no longer hesitated, stood up immediately, and said to everyone in the tent: "Generals."
"Yes." Everyone present also stood up.
"Let's follow this general to force Qin Ye!" Lord Xinling waved his hand and continued.
"Dare you disobey me!" Several people still agreed in unison.
"General Jing." Lord Xinling immediately began to point to the general.
"The general is here." The general of Chu State immediately agreed.
"I order you to command the troops and horses of our headquarters to be the vanguard of our army, to build roads across mountains and rivers, and to build bridges over rivers, and to march immediately to Luodu." Lord Xinling then handed over a token.
It should be said that Mr. Xinling is indeed a good person.
Even though the general of Chu State was the first to defect, he still gave the vanguard position to Chu State.
Obviously, compared to his own country and the country of Han, the general of Chu State needs this vanguard position too much. After all, only this position can slightly wash away the guilt of the defeat just now.
You must know that the current Lord Xinling is fully capable and has excuses not to give General Chu this opportunity.
However, he did not do this.
Still, this most shameful opportunity was given to Chu State.
On the one hand, this can be regarded as giving face to the Chu general. On the other hand, opening the way for the Chu army, which has already dealt with the Qin army, can also maximize the subsequent safety.
Kill two birds with one stone, why not?
After hearing Lord Xinling's order, even the generals of Chu were quite surprised.
Then there was a burst of ecstasy, and he took the token from Lord Xinling's hand with his hands clasped in his fists, and said: "The last general takes the order."
Lord Xinling nodded, and then continued to nod: "General Han."
"The general is here." South Korea's general also immediately clasped his fists.
"I order you to lead your troops to supervise all affairs of the rear army. Food, grass and weapons must be transported to the front line in time." Lord Xinling then threw out a piece of fat again.
Regarding military supplies, it seems that handing over the military supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops to the country of Han can be regarded as one of the ways to unite comrades.
After all, in future wars, the 50,000-strong army of Han will be indispensable.
Of course, it seems to be handed over to the Korean general, but in the key position of military supplies, it is naturally impossible for Lord Xinling not to take care of it.
It's just that these, whether Lord Xinling or the general of the Han Kingdom, are all understanding people and do not need more words.
After listening to Lord Xinling's grand arrangements, the general of Han Zhiguo was also very satisfied, and he immediately took Lord Xinling's token happily.
In this way, using fame and fortune, Lord Xinling once again united the comrades of Chu and Han to his side.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhao State or General Lian Po.
The Zhao State, which formed an army on its own, did not need the pioneers of the Chu State to open the way, nor the food and grass supplies of the Han State. Fundamentally speaking, Lian Po never wanted to compete with Lord Xinling for the dominance of the army. 33
As long as the story follows the script, the director doesn't mind if the actors form a clique. Similarly, as long as the army is still on the road to weakening and defeating Qin, Lian Po will not pose any threat to Lord Xinling at all.
Lian Po would even like to see Wei, Han, and Chu unite together.
Unfortunately, that's what he thought, but Lord Xinling didn't think so. The strategy he finally arranged was rejected by Lian Po in a few words, so forget it. A tip bag and a sentence of only six words redefined the coalition's strategy.
Who is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces?
Lord Xinling felt that his authority was offended. He must re-establish his prestige, at least in front of the generals of Han and Chu, and re-emphasize his authority.
Immediately, after using "fame and fortune" to win over Han and Chu, Lord Xinling immediately looked at Lian Po.
"General Lian Po." Lord Xinling said with a smile.
Listening to Lord Xinling's words, Lian Po frowned slightly. He had the ability to form an independent army and was not within the scope of Lord Xinling's dispatch! But soon, Lian Po understood Lord Xinling's mentality.
Without hesitation, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to weaken Qin and defeat Qin, Lian Po also gave Lord Xinling face, and he even clasped his fists with his hands and said: "The general is here."
"Please also ask General Lian Po to take command of the Chinese army together with me, and send out the cavalry to protect the left and right sides of the Chinese army." Lord Xinling then continued to order.
Obviously this order did not pose any substantial threat to Zhao Jun. At most, it can be divided into two to protect the left and right sides, and Lian Po himself is obviously prepared to execute it this way.
Naturally, Lian Po would not disobey Lord Xinling's order. He immediately cupped his fists and accepted the order and said, "Yes, I will accept the order."
"The army sets out and sets up camp five miles away from Luodu City." Lord Xinling then continued to order: "If the Qin army attacks, the army will be stationed on the spot and will recover after the Qin army retreats; if the Qin army does not come, After setting up camp, we will divide our troops and take turns pretending to attack Luo City, which will definitely make the Qin army have no intention of sleeping."
"Yes." All the generals agreed.
"In the first round, General Lian Po, let's start with the Zhao army!" Lord Xinling continued.
"Yes." Lian Po himself was the proposer of this suggestion, so it was natural for him to start with Zhao Jun, so he naturally agreed.
"After an hour, our Wei army will take over." Lord Xinling continued: "The Chu army worked hard to open the way, so in the last round, the third round, the Han army will take charge. How about it?"
"Dare you disobey your order?!" All the generals agreed again.
"In that case, generals, go and get ready. In a quarter of an hour, the army will set off." Lord Xinling then waved his hand and ordered rather proudly.
"Yes." All the generals responded one after another.
Because the army itself had just returned, except for the generals above the captaincy and the scouts from Zhao who knew the situation, the rest of the soldiers did not actually know the current situation, so most of the soldiers were still waiting. Naturally, the order to go up the mountain did not include disarming.
Therefore, the army gathered quickly.
In less than half an hour, Chu's vanguard army had already left the camp gate.
Immediately afterwards, the main force of the Wei State slowly left the camp. At the same time, the Zhao State's army was also divided into two parts, led by Zhou Qi and Lian Po respectively to support the left and right sides of the Wei State's army.
The last one was naturally the army of Han. Because the whole army attacked, the remaining camp supplies were naturally taken away. Therefore, Han Zhiguo's workload was slightly larger. It took him a full two-quarters of an hour to pack everything up and pursue the Chinese army. .
Fortunately, with Zhao Jun as the link, it didn't create too big a gap.
In this way, the coalition army, totaling 260,000 men, slowly marched towards Luo City, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty that had fallen, after dusk.
Naturally, such a large-scale mobilization could not be hidden from the eyes of the Qin Army. To be precise, the coalition forces had never thought of hiding it from the Qin Army.
What I want is your Qin Jun’s fearful look!
But, would the Qin army, who were happy to hear the battle, really be frightened?
Some people died, but not completely...
