Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Ju Xin nodded, and said: "Of course I know, that is to take all the land of Wei State, so I can't understand why you waste so many days outside Taoyi City!"

Le Cheng was silent for a while, and then replied: "General Ju Xin was once Yaqing of the Yan State, so he knew that it would be easy to conquer a place, but it is quite difficult to win the hearts of the people in that place after conquering it."

Ju Xin froze for a moment, and then began to understand something: "So what you mean is that you want to wait until Taoyi becomes chaotic before going into the city to clean up the mess?"

Le Cheng nodded and said, "Exactly."

Ju Xin was silent for a while, then sighed: "But if we enter the city a few days earlier, then many people will die in Taoyi City, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people will survive because of this!"

Le Cheng shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't use this opportunity to regain Tao Yi's hearts in one fell swoop, then if you want to do this in the future, you will have to pay more lives as a price!"

When Le Cheng said this, he deliberately emphasized his tone: "Instead of using the lives of the Zhao people to regain Taoyi's hearts in the future, it is better to use the Wei people's cannibalism to let them understand that only a strong Zhao country can make this city win. Protection, Taoyi can develop better only by becoming a part of the Zhao Kingdom!"

Ju Xin was silent again, and after a long time he let out a long sigh: "If that's the case, then the general should be able to enter the city tomorrow, right?"

Le Cheng hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Just as General Ju Xin said."

As if relieved, Ju Xin bowed deeply to Le Cheng: "In this way, Ju Xin will thank the general on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in Taoyi City!"

Seeing Ju Xin's leaving figure, Le Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

A voice suddenly sounded from Le Cheng's tent: "General Le Cheng, according to the plan in advance, you should wait one more day."

Le Cheng's face changed slightly, he snorted softly, and said: "I am the commander of this army! Tell your master that the relationship between me and him is just a cooperative relationship, which does not mean that he can give orders to me Already!"

The voice was silent for a while, and then said: "The master of my house just hopes to cooperate with General Le Cheng to get what he needs. After all, General Le Cheng doesn't want to be subservient to Lian Po and Pang Nuan for the rest of his life."

The disgust on Le Cheng's face grew stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Enough! Leave this place for me immediately, go back and tell your Patriarch, and don't give me such an idea in the future!"

The next day, under the leadership of Le Cheng, Zhao Guo's army marched into Taoyi City mightily, and took over the entire Taoyi City under the eager anticipation of thousands of Taoyi residents.

According to the records of the official historian of the State of Zhao: "In the 12th year of the king, Le Cheng led the army to attack Duan Ganzi in the south. Duan Ganzi threatened the queen of Wei, the crown prince and many princes and fled to the south, causing chaos in Taoyi. In three days, thousands of criminals were captured and beheaded in the city, and the hearts of the people in Taoyi returned to Zhao State."

Chapter 752 Zhao Guoren harbors ghosts?

After leading the Qi army under his command and following Zhao Jun into Taoyi City, the general of the Qi army Kuang Liang didn't have much smile on his face.

His subordinates all thought it was because Kuang Liang was humiliated by Le Cheng, the leader of the Zhao army, but only Kuang Liang knew in his heart that it was not the reason.

Kuang Liang always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this war.

After Kuang Liang's observation these days, he always had a feeling that this time Zhao Guo's army seemed to be doing some things that he couldn't understand.And the stay outside Taoyi City is just one of these more incomprehensible things.

At the beginning of sending troops, Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng once told Kuangliang to keep an eye on Zhao's army, so as not to be annexed too much Wei's land by Zhao's army.

Yes, the whole world knows that Zhao State is definitely going to plot against Wei State this time, and the other vassal states know in their hearts that because Zhao Dan now occupies the element of righteousness, it is justifiable and logical for Zhao State to expand like this unstoppable.

Of course, it's not just because of righteousness. After all, justice can be called out by anyone, but it can't be eaten as food.

After the last failed four-nation war against Zhao, a kind of argument began to quietly rise among the remaining countries.This kind of argument holds that Zhao State is the strongest country, and Zhao State is invincible before several other countries have fully united their hands.

An invincible country, when it wants to expand abroad, cannot be stopped by the other six countries that have no desire to join forces at all. It can only be restricted as much as possible. This is what Kuang Liang did.

To be honest, Kuang Liang was under a lot of pressure.

Kuang Liang discovered that since Zhao's army entered the territory of Wei State, not only did they not harass any surrounding Wei State villages, but they also deliberately arranged their marching routes far away from the passing villages. Do not disturb the people.

This marching route is a very strange choice in this era.

Logically speaking, all the generals who lead troops know one thing, that is, since it is time to fight, "eating from the enemy" is the best choice.

It is true that it is spring now, and the seedlings have just been sown in the fields. Even if they want to rob the fields, they can't get any food, but there must be some food in the villages of Wei State anyway.

If it is inferred from the normal logic of war, at this time the commander of Zhao Jun should send a large number of cavalry squads to the nearby villages of Wei State to snatch all the food that can be found for the army to fight. The general practice of the generals of the vassal states for many years.

Coke did not do this.

Even when Kuang Liang himself sent a team to the nearby village of Wei State to grab grain, he was obstructed by the Zhao Guo team who also claimed to be coming to grab grain.

Since Zhao Guo is now the backbone of the coalition forces, and the number of Qi's army is far less than that of Zhao Guo, Qi's grain grabbing team naturally dare not reach any conflict with Zhao Guo's team, and can only return to the camp helplessly.

But the Qi Guo team was very angry when they discovered the fact that after they left, Zhao Guoren also left soon, and Zhao Guoren didn't even enter that damned village when he left!

Kuang Liang always felt that this should be the people of Zhao Guo trying to buy people's hearts.

If this is the first doubt, then the second doubt naturally comes from Le Cheng's hesitation and entanglement outside Taoyi City.

When Duan Ganzi chose to withdraw, the coalition troops led by Le Cheng were actually only two days away from Taoyi. From the perspective of a battle-tested leading general, Le Cheng had to speed up and capture Taoyi. Yi, or speed up the pursuit of Duan Ganzi, try to catch up with Duan Ganzi on the road and defeat Duan Ganzi's troops.

Even if it is because of the distance, it may be impossible to catch up with Ganzi Duan, then he can follow Duan Ganzi to the outside of Suiyang City, and launch an attack when Duan Ganzi has just arrived in Suiyang City. This is the routine that is most in line with the military theory.

How does Coke ride?

Not only did Le Cheng not continue to pursue, but he stayed outside Taoyi City for so many days in vain, and after entering Taoyi City, Le Cheng was also paying attention to those things that bought people's hearts. For example, he spent three whole days Searched for the prisoners in the city, and then escorted a thousand prisoners to the gate of the vegetable market, and beheaded them in front of half of the residents of Taoyi City.

Beheading is very common for Kuang Liang, but the question is, who has ever seen an occupying army do such a thing in a newly occupied city?This is simply government law enforcement.

Kuang Liang felt that Zhao Guoren was still buying people's hearts.

Zhao Guoren actually wanted to buy people's hearts in Taoyi City?This is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.

Kuang Liang felt that it was very necessary for him to immediately feed back the news to King Jian and Hou Sheng of Qi in Linzi.

But Kuang Liang still hesitated, because he was actually not sure whether what he did was a misjudgment.

After all, Kuangliang's mission at the beginning was to prevent Zhao Guo from swallowing Wei Guo too much. From this point of view, it seems understandable and not too much if Zhao Guo insisted on swallowing Tao Yi.

Taoyi is really very close to the border of the present state of Zhao, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the pocket of the people of Zhao.

In view of this, Kuang Liang decided to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to observe Zhao Guoren's next movements.

But soon, Le Cheng's next actions made Kuang Liang unable to calm down again.

On the third day after occupying Taoyi, a large number of Zhao officials arrived in Taoyi city and began to restore order in the city very quickly.

At this time, Kuang Liang finally confirmed that Zhao Guoren really planned to take Tao Yi as his own completely, and did not intend to return it to Wei Guo.

On the fifth day after occupying Taoyi City, Le Cheng finally continued to go south.

This time, the Qi-Zhao coalition army arrived in Anyang City two days later, and the Anyang Order chose to open the city gate and surrender to Zhao Guo.

Two days later, Zhao Guo's army arrived at Chuqiu, and Chu Qiuling also opened the city gate and surrendered to Zhao Guo.

At the same time, Kuang Liang also discovered that Zhao Guo sent several troops with a number of two to three thousand to leave the camp at night and headed in different directions.
