Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 340 A Cautious Battle

Chapter 339: A Cautious Battle

In the Zhao army camp in Tunliu City, Kou Fei, the general of the Zhao army, stood in front of Zhao Xin, holding a document in his hand, and said to Zhao Dao: "General, after General Zheng arrived at Li Ting, he launched a fierce attack on Li Ting. , but because the Qin army's fierce resistance failed to break through, General Zheng did not continue to attack according to the general's order. Instead, he garrisoned ten miles away from Liting, waiting for the general's order, but according to General Zheng's meaning, he wanted to continue to attack. Yes, General Zheng thinks he has the ability to break through Li Ting."

Xin Zhao frowned, walked to the map to observe carefully, and said for a long time: "There is no ambush on the road, and the Qin army is desperately resisting. All these seem to show that Bai Qi has no backup and is planning to defend the line. If you feel that Bai Qi has plots, send someone to Zheng Tuo to order him to stockpile troops and Li Ting to stand still, without the general's order, absolutely not to launch an attack!"

"General, this..." Kou Fei was a little puzzled. Every move Qin Jun showed told Zhao Jun that they were going to stick to the line of defense, and with the strength of Zhao Jun, he could definitely tear a hole in Li Ting. Damn, why did Xin Zhao give up on the attack?

Zhao Xin met Kou Fei's puzzled eyes and said, "Bai Qi is by no means simple. The desperate resistance of the Qin army is probably an illusion. Now the only way to deal with a famous general like Bai Qi is to stay the same. Be impatient, whoever loses!"

Although Kou Fei still didn't understand, out of trust in Zhao Xin, Kou Fei nodded and said, "Then send someone to report to General Zheng!"

Xin Zhao nodded, and then continued to emphasize: "Tell Zheng Tuo, stand still, if you attack without the order of the general, you will be dealt with by military law!"

"Here!" Kou Fei responded!
And Zhao Jun's action of standing still made Qin Jun's leader Bai Qi very puzzled. Looking at it with a clear eye, now facing the powerful Zhao Jun, Qin Jun can only stick to the defense line. Why doesn't Zhao Jun stop attacking?

"Could it be that Xin Zhao saw my intentions? It shouldn't be. The entire Nanshang Party is under the control of this general. It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Jun's spies to cross the defense line of this general without any traces. How could they know?" Would you have planted an ambush on Yangtou Mountain?" In the face of Zhao Jun's weirdness, Bai Qi began to feel unconfident, and even wondered if Xin Zhao had noticed him as the backhand in Yangtou Mountain. This caused Zhao Jun to stand still.

"Taiwei, are those the troops that retreated to Mount Yangtou?" General Ying Huai of the Qin Army asked. Since Xin Zhao may have sensed the ambush of the Qin Army on Mount Yangtou, where are Li Chong's 2 troops? It has no effect, so it is better to withdraw and defend elsewhere.

But Bai Qi shook his head and said: "No, now that the Zhao army is standing still, it is of great benefit to our army, and besides the one in Li Ting, it is not easy for Zhao army to forcefully break through our defense line. Ah, except for Li Ting, Li Chong's 2 people don't have much effect anywhere. It might as well be on Yangtou Mountain. If Zhao Xin really knows that our army has an ambush on Yangtou Mountain, then Zhao Jun will definitely not launch an attack rashly. Such a situation is beneficial to our army, if once the soldiers and horses of Yangtou Mountain are withdrawn, maybe the Zhao army will take the opportunity to launch an attack, and it will be very difficult to stop the Zhao army with Li Ting's troops."

Bai Qi sees clearly that the Qin army is not as strong as the Zhao army. The temporary confrontation between the two armies is good for the Qin army, but it is only temporary. After the troops from Zhao's northern border arrive, the pressure on the Qin army will change. It was extremely huge, so Bai Qi had to come up with a way to break the situation before Zhao's northern troops arrived, otherwise he would be slaughtered by others.

Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "Order Li Chong to stock up on Yangtou Mountain, and at the same time tell the general to keep a close eye on Li Ting's situation. Once Li Ting's Ma Sheng's troops retreat to Yangtou Mountain, he must Do everything possible to keep this Zhao army, and order Ma Sheng to continue to put on a defensive look, and find a way to lure Zhao army to attack!"

The game between two famous generals often determines the outcome not by ability, but by state of mind. Whoever is impatient first will lose. It is true that Li Chong's [-] elite stationed on Yangtou Mountain will cause great damage to the Qin army's defense line. The pressure is not irresistible, so Bai Qi decided to continue to put Li Chong's [-] elites on Yangtou Mountain as a surprise army.

In this way, under the leadership of the two famous generals Zhao Xin and Bai Qi, the two armies of Qin and Zhao unexpectedly confronted each other on the Shangdang front. Although it is not a decisive battle between Qin and Zhao, this battle is about The fate of Qin State and the honor of Zhao State, if this battle is defeated, Qin State may not be able to hold on to the Nanshang Party that has already won. In the land of coolness, although Guanzhong has a fertile field thousands of miles away, it is obvious that Guanzhong alone cannot support Qin's ambitions. After the failure to compete for Bashu, Nanshang Party can be said to be Qin's last chance.

And Zhao Guo, ever since he had Xin Zhao, the invincible general, has never lost a single battle. Maybe in some big battles, Zhao Guo had some small defeats, but in the end Zhao Guo had the last laugh. Even Zhou Shen, Pang Kuo, and Han Qing, the famous generals in the past, could not stop Zhao Xin and Zhao Jun. Zhao Xin, who was over half a century old, would never allow a defeat in his career.

Regarding the battle between Qin and Zhao, those in Wancheng also ordered Ding Jing to send a large number of spies. The men's shoes were in danger of life and sneaked into the Shangdang war zone to collect first-hand battle information. Regarding this battle, Deng Sheng's mood It is contradictory, because in the face of the mighty State of Zhao, all members of the State of Deng have made an alliance with the State of Qin to fight against Zhao, so the outcome of this battle affects Deng Sheng's heart.

Before the war, Deng Sheng and a group of important ministers all predicted that no matter the outcome of this war, Qin would gain the territory of the South Shangdang, which alleviated the crisis of food shortage to a certain extent, but Deng Sheng was never satisfied. What he didn't expect was that when he supported the state of Chu to seek Pei County, the direction of the war became confusing.

After being attacked by the Chu army in Peijun, Zhao Guo was completely enraged. Zhao Guo lost face and ignored Deng Chu's pressure in the Central Plains. The Central Committee mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to go south. According to the report of the spies, the soldiers and horses in the northern border of Zhao State will soon arrive in Jinyang, which means that they will soon be able to go south to Shangdang. There is a lot of pressure. It can even be said that facing the hundreds of thousands of Zhao's army, whether the Qin army can retreat in Shangdang is a problem.

Faced with the strength of Zhao Guo, Deng Sheng even thought about whether to pull Qin Jun at the right time, but Deng Sheng killed this idea as soon as it came out. There is no doubt that the strength of the country has greatly increased, which is of great help to the alliance, but on the other hand, Qin, without the Nanshang Party, will continue to be in deep food shortage crisis. Once an alliance is formed, it means that Qin has no capital at all. Breaking the alliance, this is tantamount to insurance for the alliance between the two countries, unless Qin will choose to form an alliance with Zhao to deal with Deng, but this is impossible, because Qin's ambition is to seize the world, and Deng It is still possible to form an alliance with the State of Qin, but if it forms an alliance with the State of Zhao, even if it defeats the State of Deng, how can the State of Qin take the world from the unprecedentedly powerful State of Zhao?

Therefore, the best choice for Deng Guo in this battle between Qin and Zhao is to sit on the sidelines, but he can't just sit on the sidelines. After all, if Qin's army loses too badly and Qin's strength is weakened too much, it will be the same for Deng Guo. There is no benefit, so Deng Sheng secretly ordered Xue Rengui and Li Siye, if the Qin army showed signs of defeat, immediately attack the Central Plains to draw Zhao's attention back, so as to ensure that the Qin army can retreat completely.

When the whole world was looking at Shangdang County, a sudden news made the world's eyes drop, that is, the elites from Zhao's northern border could not come to Shangdang, and they were killed in Jinyang City. After staying for a day, I turned around and went back to the north!
