"General Lian Po! This battle opened the eyes of the general." The general of Chu looked at Lian Po excitedly and said, without giving any face to Lord Xinling who was standing beside him.
Not only the generals of the Chu Kingdom, but also the generals of the Han Kingdom sat around Lian Po. Obviously, Lian Po had completely defeated these two generals in this battle.
Although the two generals did not have rich combat experience with the Qin army, they were elites from various countries and could still understand the basic situation on the battlefield.
This battle may be just an appetizer for Lian Po, but for the two of them, it can be described as thrilling.
Without him, the Qin army, which had thought its combat strength was in danger, was actually fighting with their elite troops. If General Lian Po hadn't deployed Zhao's cavalry in time, the battle would have been undefeated, and the troops under them would have suffered huge losses.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that General Lian Po stopped their ridiculous idea of sneak attack on the Qin army in time.
With the strength of the Qin army, he actually wanted to launch a sneak attack. If General Lian Po hadn't stopped him, I might have been either in jail or on the way to escape.
Thinking of this, the two of them became more and more disdainful of Lord Xinling beside them: With such judgment, he still commanded the entire army... However, Lian Po didn't care about such compliments, and was even a little bored. .
Obviously, judging from today's battle, it is obviously not Wang Lu who is more interested in his own match.
"Old friend", judging from his slightly immature reactions and continuous improvement, must be a new general in the Qin army.
If it weren't for the overwhelming strength of the soldiers of Han and Chu, he would have killed this new Qin general in today's battle, and at least he would have made the Qin army pay a huge price.
There's nothing more exciting than killing your enemy's next generation. It's a pity that even with all his elite troops, he couldn't defeat the Qin army, let alone kill the Qin generals.
However, having said that, this situation was not unexpected by Lian Po. If he really had enough fighting power, Lian Po would have pushed past with his army, and he would have done nothing with so much persuasion.
From this battle, Lian Po also deeply realized the correctness of the tips passed down by Zhao Kuo.
I have worked so hard to deal with a fledgling boy, but it is still so hard, if it were changed
"Old friend" Wang Hao has come to take command. I'm afraid it's the coalition forces that will suffer today. Therefore, holding on to the camp and dragging the Qin army into a protracted war is the only way to consume the Qin army and defeat the Qin army.
Since it is the only way, Lian Po must once again strengthen this belief for everyone. It just so happened that the generals of South Korea and Chu were already quite convinced of themselves.
Immediately, Lian Po waved his hands modestly and said: "This battle is just a trick. The opponent is not the veteran Wang Lu, so I caught a loophole." Then, Lian Po continued seriously: "This battle Although it is a small victory over the Qin army, everyone has seen the strength of the Qin army. Even if the Qin army is exhausted today and only sent a small general, our coalition forces are already overwhelmed. If we continue to attack forcefully, I am afraid that the gains will not be worth the losses."
"Of course." The general of Chu State also quickly agreed: "In just over two hours, our Chu State army has suffered thousands of casualties. If this continues for a long time, it may not be the enemy of Qin." General Han Zhiguo on the side even said Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, the Chu State still has such a vast territory and a huge population base. Even if all the 50,000 troops are thrown into the territory of Zhou Wangji, it will not be too distressing, but the Kingdom of Han is different.
Today's Han Kingdom is not the time for the three families to divide themselves into Jin Dynasty. This small country has few people and an army of 50,000 is almost overwhelming. Not to mention the entire army was wiped out, today's losses are enough to make the King of Han feel distressed for a while.
If we can finally capture Zhou Wangji and gain a certain amount of territory and income, it would be a good deal. However, if even the final territory is not guaranteed, the general of Han Zhiguo is obviously unwilling to invest almost the last national power of Han Zhiguo. .
Therefore, when Lian Po emphasized that the Qin army's combat power could not be fought forcefully, Han Zhiguo naturally couldn't agree more.
However, Lian Po's suggestion here was highly recognized by Han and Chu, but Lord Xinling over there was in an embarrassing situation.
If he were a person from the 21st century, why wouldn't he shout: "I am the protagonist!" Fortunately, Lord Xinling was not a young man from the 21st century, and his aspirations were far more profound than those of the ordinary princes and disciples in the Warring States Period. many.
Although looking at the two countries, Han and Chu, who were united around Lian Po and almost venting their anger from the same nostril, Lord Xinling still felt a little uncomfortable.
But Lord Xinling knew clearly that his and Lian Po's demands and interests were consistent. At least before the Qin army was defeated, the interests of the two countries were highly overlapping.
therefore,
Lord Xinling doesn't really care who the "protagonist" is. Why are we even fighting for this?
The position of "chief general" is not for personal gain, but because he has learned the lessons of the Changping Battle and wants to firmly hold the initiative in his own hands.
After today's battle, Lord Xinling has completely given up his plan to sneak attack the Qin army.
Because, when the army was fighting in full swing, he, who was in charge of the central army, was not idle. He sent out dozens of scout troops, and almost every one of them brought back bad news.
The Qin army was not tired at all in guarding the rear defense and took it lightly. There was even a large army composed of elites hidden in Naluodu City.
In other words, Lord Xinling’s so-called
The strategy of "making an impact in the east and attacking in the west" was impossible to achieve from the beginning. Obviously, it must be taught by King Zhao
The method of "building a stronghold and fighting a dull war". After understanding this, Lord Xinling immediately joined in
The ranks of the "Kuaikaa Tuan" even do not hesitate to use themselves as a stepping stone.
"General Lianpo, thanks to you this time, if you had listened to what I said, you would have missed a big deal." Lord Xinling said with a hint of joy: "From what I see, the way to deal with the Qin army now is to use Zhao The king’s plan will be carried out.”
"Set up camp and fight stupidly." Lord Xinling said with approval. Just this statement made Lian Po a little surprised.
After all, he stole Lord Xinling's limelight in this battle, and the generals of Han and Chu did not give Lord Xinling any face.
Lian Po was really afraid that Lord Xinling would do something outrageous in his anger. If Lord Xinling gets angry and raises troops, it may be really difficult to maintain this alliance.
While Lian Po was thinking about how to give Lord Xinling a ladder, Lord Xinling climbed down the pole himself. Not only that, he also regarded his king's strategy as a guideline.
This magnanimity alone is far beyond that of the generals of Korea and Chu. However, this is exactly what Lian Po and Zhao Guo need.
"Lord Xinling, you are so generous." Lian Po immediately said without hesitation in his praise. Lord Xinling was a little surprised by this sudden compliment. You must know that with Lian Po's temperament, there are really not many people who can praise him face to face.
Apart from the late Lin Shangqing, perhaps there was only King Kuo of Zhao before. Now, Lord Xinling of Wei was actually added to this short list. How could this not surprise Lord Xinling.
Also surprised were the generals of Han and Chu on the side, who instantly looked at Lord Xinling with envy and resentment in their eyes.
It's like a child looking at the bad guy who stole his lollipop. Lian Po's words brought Wei closer, but they also pushed Han and Chu away from each other invisibly.
However, it was obvious that neither Lian Po nor Lord Xinling believed that Han and Chu were very important as vassals, and naturally they had no intention of observing the reactions of the other two countries.
In their opinion, as long as Wei and Zhao can firmly help, the chariots of the Four Kingdoms can continue to travel safely.
"General Lianpo is ridiculous." Lord Xinling naturally said humbly: "We are all here to defeat Qin. If any strategy is beneficial to defeating Qin, we will naturally adopt any strategy."
"It's just that the money and food spent on building a stronghold and fighting a stupid war are worthless." The topic changed, and Lord Xinling talked about the shortcomings of Zhao Kuo's strategy again.
Of course Lian Po understood what Lord Xinling meant, and immediately said to Lord Xinling: "Don't worry, Lord Xinling, our king has already said it before. After the defeat of Qin, King Ji of Zhou gave him goods, land, money and food, and Zhao didn't take a penny. "Hearing Lian Po's solemn promise again, no matter Han, Chu or Wei, they were all very happy.
Given Zhao's status in the coalition, even taking the biggest piece of the pie was a reasonable move. And if the Zhao State does not take any money, it means that a large amount of benefits will flow into the Three Kingdoms. This is naturally a great good thing for the Three Kingdoms today.
Of course, the premise is that the Four Kingdoms Alliance can really drive the Qin army out. However, before the three of them could be happy for long, Lian Po's voice immediately sounded: "However, the autumn harvest is coming, and if the Qin army gets all the food and grass from King Zhou's territory, I am afraid it will be detrimental to all four of our countries. I don't know if a general can crack it. What's the method?" Hearing this, the three of them frowned.
Indeed, the weather in Zhou Wangji's territory is still good this year, and the millet planted is enough for the army to use for several months. If the Qin army is allowed to take it, this strategy of wearing down the enemy will be extended for at least half a year or even a year.
This is obviously a situation that all countries have no choice but to accept. What's more, if it is like this this year, what about next year?
If the Qin army obtains food locally and fights to support the war, and the four countries spend manpower, material and financial resources to transport food and grass from thousands of miles away, I am afraid that even the power of the four countries cannot match the national power of Qin!
"If we use soldiers to fight the Qin army to harvest grain, our army will retreat when the Qin army arrives. It is so complicated. Even if we can harvest part of it, it will be much weaker than the Qin army." Lord Xinling said while thinking after hearing this.
"If we use the Zhao cavalry to protect us, maybe we can capture it with the Qin army?" The Chu general on the side also immediately suggested.
"No." Before Lian Po could refuse, the general of Han Zhiguo on the side spoke first...
