Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The two lines of defense are connected by two river valleys, the Xiaodongcang Valley and the Dadongcang Valley. "

"The king gave me the order that I must take the initiative to attack. Presumably Qin is also aware of this."

"If we want to attack, the best direction is Hanwang Mountain!"

"As a person who likes to win by surprise, Bai Qi will definitely pretend to retreat from the front to lure us to go deep! After we go deep, he will send people to pass through the two mountain ranges of Danzhuling and Xiangongshan to surprise us behind us. Changping Pass and Guguan.”

"At the same time, he will send an elite force to take advantage of our army's assault to suddenly launch a counterattack, break through the defense line of our Xuanshi City, and insert into Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain in one fell swoop."

"In this way, the main force of our army will be completely isolated in such a narrow area as Hanwang Mountain, and the Qin people can rely on this encirclement to trap 40 of us to death!"

When Zhao Kuo spoke, his tone was extremely calm and natural, because these were not made up by him, but the entire decisive battle process of the Battle of Changping in history.

This is how Zhao's 40 troops were led into the encirclement step by step by Bai Qi, and finally surrendered when they had nowhere to go, and then were killed by Bai Qi!Lian Po watched Zhao Kuo deduce this shocking battle situation step by step, and unknowingly, cold sweat was already rolling down.

As a famous general in the world, Lian Po, who has been fighting here for many days, knows the whole battle situation too well. He knows that what Zhao Kuo said is absolutely true, and it is very likely to happen!Lian Po hissed: "Bai Qi is so deliberate here, do we really have hope of winning?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po and said very sincerely: "Of course! As long as the general is willing to help me, our Great Zhao must be the victor!"

Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo with a complicated expression, and Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po calmly, his eyes full of sincerity.

After a while, Lian Po suddenly sighed and knelt down on one knee towards Zhao Kuo.

"The last general, Lian Po, pay homage to the great general!"

Chapter 3

Conquering Lian Po is definitely a very meaningful thing for Zhao Kuo.

We must know that Lian Po has a great reputation in the army for many years, and he has a large number of devoted subordinates. If Lian Po leaves, these subordinates will definitely not obey Zhao Kuo's orders or obey Zhao Kuo's orders, which will inevitably have a negative impact on Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness.

Now that Lian Po obeys Zhao Kuo's command, these people will inevitably fight for Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't need to reintegrate the troops again, which was equivalent to changing the direction and improving the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

If it weren't for this, Zhao Kuo wouldn't have to spend a lot of time trying to convince Lian Po.

Zhao Kuo took two steps forward and helped Lian Po up with his own hands: "General Lian Po, although I am the chief general, you are also an indispensable general! Together, we will surely defeat Bai Qi and let the people of Qin know that we are underestimated by Zhao. fate!"

Lian Po nodded heavily. Soldiers don't have so many twists and turns, they all have a straight-forward personality. So far, the two have completely let go of their barriers and started to fight side by side in a real sense.

Lian Po asked, "General, after such a long time, has Handan persuaded other countries to send troops?"

Zhao Kuo let out a hey, shook his head and said, "There is no reinforcements for this battle, we can only rely on ourselves."

In today's world situation, Qin State is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Zhao State.

As long as Zhao State can defeat Qin State in this battle and eliminate a large number of Qin's main forces, then Zhao State can overtake Qin State and become the most powerful country in the world!Conversely, as long as Qin State defeats Zhao State, Qin State's trend of unifying the world will no longer be stopped. This is also what happened in history.

Therefore, when Qin and Zhao started the war in Changping, the other five vassal states chose to watch one after another, just wanting to see the two great powers fight a battle and lose both.

This battle is destined to be the stage of Qin and Zhao, and the existence of other countries cannot be tolerated.

The two main generals, Zhao Kuo and Bai Qi, are the real leading figures in the center of the stage. Who is the protagonist who laughs at the end, and who is the villain who becomes the stepping stone. Everything speaks by the result.

Lian Po is also an important minister of the State of Zhao, so of course he understands these things, he couldn't help but look gloomy when he heard the words: "In this case, it will be very difficult for us.

Changping is a mountainous area, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As the disadvantaged side, our army has to forcibly attack. Wouldn't it be a waste of military exploits? "

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "General Lian Po, don't worry, I've already figured out a plan."

Lian Po cheered up and looked at Zhao Kuo: "What is the general's strategy?"

Zhao Kuo's performance just now undoubtedly made Lian Po have expectations for Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo opened his lips lightly, and spit out four words: "The plan is the plan!"

Lian Po was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly realized after a while, slapped his thigh, and sincerely praised: "Wonderful! The old man is fascinated by the authorities. General Zhao Kuo really has the style of your father and horse to obey the king!"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, thinking that I am not just like Ma Fujun.

Soon, successive orders were sent out from Zhao Kuo's handsome tent like flowing water.

There are three fires for new officials to take office, and some adjustments are imperative.

There is a small river outside the camp of Zhao Jun in Daliang Mountain. The name of this river is Dan River. On both sides of the Dan River stand a long wall, which was built by Qin Jun and Zhao Jun respectively as the front line. The defense line of the bunker is named Qin Leibi and Zhao Leibi.

There is a big camp behind the Qin barrier on the south bank. The tents in the big camp are boundless and spread all over the mountains and plains. The black flag symbolizing the state of Qin flutters in the wind. This is Guanglang City, where the Qin army camp is located.

On the lookout platform in Light Wolf City, a tall and strong middle-aged general was standing respectfully beside a slightly shorter old man.

The middle-aged general's name is Wang Yan, who is now the Zuo Shuzhang of the Qin State, and is recognized as the helm of the next generation of Qin State's military.

Although he was already a veritable military officer, Wang Lu looked at the old man in front of him with an expression of admiration and respect in his eyes, as if a child saw his idol.

In front of Wang Yan, this old man with gray hair, wearing a black lace robe sleeves, a purple swan crown, a slightly pointed chin, and extremely sharp eyes is known as the "God of War" of the Qin State. He has never been defeated in battles in his life. The Wu Anjun Bai Qi!Bai Qi said calmly: "Looking at the movement in the past two days, it should be Zhao Guo's reinforcements coming, right?"

Wang Yan said very respectfully: "Return to the Lord, it was Zhao Kuo who arrived with the reinforcements."

Bai Qi hummed, with a faint smile on his face: "It seems that Jihou's actions in Handan were very successful."

Jihou is the absolute confidant of King Qin and the chief of Qin's spies. This time Qin's sowing dissension in Handan and spreading rumors to make Zhao Kuo replace Lian Po was Bai Qi's strategy, and Jihou was responsible for implementing it himself.

Wang Yan responded, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking: "Your Honor, since Zhao Kuo has arrived, when will we launch an attack?"

Bai Qi laughed and said, "Attack?

No, Zhao Kuo will attack us. "

Wang Lu was a little stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Zhao Jun is inferior in strength, and Lian Po has been beaten by us in the past half a year. The two lines of defense of Erzhang City and Guanglang City can only be forced to defend. How dare Zhao Kuo attack us?"

Bai Qi laughed and said: "If Zhao Kuo doesn't attack, why does the Marquis have to plan so hard on him?

Look at it, it will only take two months at most, and the Marquis wants Zhao Kuo and the 40 Zhao soldiers and horses to die without a place to bury them! "

Bai Qi's words revealed a strong self-confidence, the self-confidence from the No.1 general in the world!Although Wang Yan was puzzled, he still showed an excited expression, and thought to himself: "I heard that Zhao Kuo is the son of Zhao She, the famous general of Zhao State, Ma Fujun, and he can be regarded as a descendant of a famous family.

It's a pity that he met our Great Qin and a peerless general like Wu Anjun! "

Wang Yan shook his head and began to mourn for Zhao Kuo.

In Wang Lu's heart, Zhao Kuo was already dead.

In the next few days, the entire Changping front line was calm, but anyone with a heart can feel that this is actually the calm before the storm, and the real war is coming.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Zhao Kuo has not been idle these days. First, he called many generals to hold a meeting, and formally took over the military power of the entire army from Lian Po.

Then Zhao Kuo and Lian Po spent a few days walking through Zhao Jun's current front and rear lines of defense, inspected all the battlefields on the spot, and adjusted the position of the coach's camp from Daliang Mountain to be closer to the entire Changsha. Ping Hanwang Mountain in the center of the battlefield, and at the same time made a new round of adjustments to the layout of the entire Zhao army.

Due to the strategy formulated in advance, it is of course impossible for Qin Baiqi to take the initiative to attack, so Zhao Kuo can rest assured and boldly use these days to rectify the army.

The combination of Zhao Kuo's theory in this life and the experience of later generations from the earth allowed Zhao Kuo to completely control this 40 army.

Lian Po looked at all these, and couldn't help admiring: "General, I originally thought that you would only talk about military affairs on paper, but now you are also good at running the army, and I really admire you."

Although Lian Po and Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, were political enemies, Zhao She was dead after all, and Lian Po was a straightforward person, so he would say what he had to say.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "General Lian Po is absurd. Without the general's help, Zhao Kuo would not be able to control the situation so quickly."

People carried people in flowery sedan chairs. Since the old general Lian Po was so kind, Zhao Kuo naturally returned a good word.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Lian Po couldn't help asking: "General, when will we start attacking?

The military rations have already begun to run out. "

Last time Zhao Kuo brought 30 days of military rations for a month, and now there are only 20 days of military rations after ten days have passed.

If we retreat now, 20 days of military rations will not even be enough to support the 40 Zhao troops to return to Handan.

In other words, there is no way out.

Looking at Lian Po's eyes eager to fight, Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Since the old general has spoken, let's start the decisive battle tomorrow!"

Zhao Kuo is also a straightforward person, everything has been prepared, it's time to stage this big show!

Chapter 4 Bai Qi designs, Zhao Kuo attacks

The next day.

This is the No. 11 day when Zhao Kuo arrived at the Changping battlefield.

On this day, amidst the sound of the horn, countless soldiers of the State of Zhao marched out from the camps of Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, and assembled behind Zhao Leibi on the north bank of Danshui.

The State of Zhao considers itself to be an orthodox successor of the State of Jin, and like the State of Jin, it advocates red, so countless red flags are waving along the entire north bank, and the big "Zhao" character is flying in the wind.

Of course, it is impossible to hide such a big movement from the Qin army who is on the other side of the river. After receiving the order, Wang Yan immediately rushed to the commander's tent with the wind under his feet, and told Bai Qi: "Your Majesty, Zhao Jun seems to want to The decisive battle has begun!"

Bai Qi sat in the tent, and when he heard the words, he showed a confident smile: "I finally waited for this day for Benhou, and immediately summoned the generals!"

After a while, many generals of the Qin State gathered in front of Bai Qi and respectfully obeyed his orders.

Bai Qi looked around the crowd, and his eyes fell on a fierce general: "Sima Jin, the Marquis will give you [-] elites, and you will immediately lead the army to go around behind our Daqin defense line and advance covertly along Wushen Mountain." As far as the Zhao people's Yaoshan camp, after capturing the Yaoshan camp, continue to attack the Zhao army's Changping Pass and Guguan, cutting off the Zhao people's retreat! Can you do it?"

Sima Jin boldly stepped out and asked, "Your Majesty, how many defenders are there in Zhao Guoyao Mountain Camp, Changping Pass, and Guguan?"

Bai Qi said: "Yaoshan Camp is remote and in the rear, it is the main gathering place of Zhao Guominfu, only [-] guards.

Although Changping Pass and Guguan each have [-] defenders, you must be unprepared to attack the people of Zhao from the rear, and you will surely be able to take down them in one fell swoop! "

Sima Jin understood, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely take down Yaoshan Daying and Changping Pass, and cut off Zhao Kuo's retreat!"

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, his eyes fell on another Qin general: "Wang Ling.

Benhou will give you [-] chariots and [-] elite infantry, and you will be responsible for hiding on the south bank. After waiting for Benhou's order, you will immediately forcibly cross the Dan River and enter the Xuanshi City of the Zhao people.

As long as we capture Xuanshi City, the entire Xiaodongcang River Valley will be ours, and the connection between the two camps of Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain in Zhao Kingdom will be directly cut off by us.

You will be the sharpest knife in this Hou's hand to stab Zhao Kuo's heart, can you complete the task? "

Wang Ling straightened his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wang Ling will die in Xuan's City!"

Bai Qi frowned, and said: "This Marquis doesn't want you to die, even if you really want to die, you have to die after occupying Xuan's City, understand?"

Wang Ling said loudly: "Here!"

Bai Qi's arrangement didn't end there, he turned his gaze to another general: "Sima Geng.

Benhou will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and you will send troops at the same time as Wangling. Your goal is the Dadongcang River Valley on the east side of Daliang Mountain!When Wang Ling occupied Xuanshi City and cut off the connection between Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain, you can almost rush to the Guguan behind Daliang Mountain.

At that time, if Sima Jin does not have time to go from Changping Pass to Guguan, then you will be the last insurance to lock Guguan, the last retreat of Zhao people! "

Sima Geng strode out, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"

Bai Qi waved his hand and said: "Everyone, victory or defeat depends on one action. The king and Ranghou are waiting for the news of our victory in Xianyang City. Don't lose the face of Daqin, let alone let go of the military exploits you have won. This Marquis is here. Waiting for your return in victory.

Great Qin Wansheng! "

All the generals cheered up and shouted loudly: "Great Qin Wansheng!"

After taking orders, all the generals left one after another.

Lieutenant General Wang He waited for a long time but did not get his task, so he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the last general." Bai Qi glanced at Wang He lightly, and said, "You will follow me to sit on the front line and be responsible for luring the enemy into deep !"

Bai Qi didn't like Wang Lu, because Wang Lu was the one whom King Qin promoted to replace Bai Qi.

If it weren't for Wang Lu's delay in breaking through Lian Po's defenses that made King Qin really unbearable, it would be impossible for Bai Qi to come out again to gain command.

After all, Bai Qi is now Lord Wu'an, the existence of an extremely human minister, the master of great achievements.

Wang Lu's face darkened, but no one could disobey Bai Qi's order, so Wang Lu could only accept it sadly.

Just when the Qin army was ready, the assembly of the Zhao army was also over.

Zhao Kuo's command platform was set up on the mountainside of Hanwang Mountain. This is the best observation point of the entire battlefield, and he can observe almost two-thirds of the entire Changping battlefield.

At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhao army had gathered, and the dense momentum was extremely astonishing.

Zhao Kuo was playing with something in his hand, which made Lian Po feel a little weird, and after a while, he couldn't help asking: "General, what is it in your hand?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "This is ginseng, a good thing, General Lianpo."

"Ginseng?"

Lian Po was taken aback, thinking that he had never heard of this medicinal herb.

The earliest book in China to record the medicinal effects of ginseng is Tao Hongjing’s Materia Medica Annotations during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Warring States Period was 700 years earlier than the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Zhao Kuo smiled, suddenly his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "General Lian Po, let the flag bearer issue a flag message and march with drums beating!"

Lian Po responded loudly, even though this Zhao Guo general had experienced countless battles in the field all his life, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

This is a battle where the two sides have invested a total of more than one million soldiers, and it is the first time since the beginning of the world.
