Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Looking at the gauntlet, Jun Shen also frowned: "There is something wrong with Mr. Wu Xin, definitely something is wrong."

Chunshen Jun has always been the out-and-out faction in Chu State who wants to get close to Zhao State.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, Chun Shenjun has earned a lot of money in the life and business cooperation with Zhao Kuo, and on the other hand, it is also because Chun Shenjun is very aware of Zhao Kuo's strength, and feels that as long as Zhao Kuo is with him for a day , then Chu State is not suitable to continue to fight against Zhao State.

So when he saw Zhao Kuo's gauntlet, what came out of his heart was not joy, but a very strong vigilance.

Li Yuan was standing next to Chun Shenjun, and after hearing Chun Shenjun's words, he couldn't help but said, "Since this is the case, why don't we simply reject Zhao Kuo's proposal?"

Jun Shen shook his head, sighed, and said, "If this is just the army of our country, Dachu, then I can still do it.

But now it is the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, we have to at least listen to the opinions of our allies. "

So Mr. Chunshen immediately held a military meeting, and brought over most of the major generals from South Korea, Wei and Chu, including Mr. Xinling.

After hearing that Zhao Kuo had issued a letter of war, everyone had different expressions.

Chun Shenjun said to the people present very calmly: "This is the way things are. If you have any opinions, you can raise them now."

Although he and Chun Shenjun had a fierce fight in the big tent before, Jingyang still continued to attend the military meeting this time.

After hearing Chun Shenjun's words, Jingyang immediately said: "This is definitely a good opportunity. Since Zhao Kuo dared to fight this time, it is a great opportunity for us to defeat him. We must not miss it." ?”

After hearing Jingyang's words, Jun Shen couldn't help curling his lips, with a look of disdain on his face.

Since the conflict between the two had almost become public, Chun Shenjun's expression did not cover up in any way, and it was very clearly in the eyes of everyone in the big tent.

Of course, Jingyang also saw Chunshenjun's expression, and couldn't help being very angry.

But Jingyang at this time may be because he was beaten by Chun Shenjun a few days ago, so he didn't get angry on the spot, but planned to continue to wait for everyone's opinions.

Lord Chunshen's eyes fell on Lord Xinling, and he said, "Mr. Xinling, please tell me your opinion."

The reason why Mr. Xinling's name was specifically named was because Mr. Chunshen himself had selfish motives.

In Chunshen Jun's opinion, after all, Lord Xinling is one of the rare military strategists in the contemporary era, and he will definitely be able to see through Zhao Kuo's plot.

In this way, Mr. Xinling would not be fooled by Zhao Kuo, and he would be able to speak up to support Mr. Chunshen's opinion, thus setting the tone for the whole meeting that he would not be fooled by Zhao Kuo.

But then something happened that surprised Chun Shenjun.

Lord Xinling obviously hesitated for a long time, and then said: "I think that since the people of Zhao State requested to take the initiative to fight, then we can definitely go to the decisive battle with Zhao State this time. It is indeed a rare opportunity."

Lord Chunshen was stunned when he heard Lord Xinling's words.

Did Lord Xinling not discover Zhao Kuo's plan?

At this moment, Lord Xinling looked up at Lord Chunshen, with a wry smile on his face, and shook his head slightly.

Chun Shenjun was reminded by this action, as if he remembered something, and soon realized it.

To put it bluntly, the whole thing is actually very simple. It's not that Mr. Xinling can't see through Zhao Kuo's plot, but because the Wei State can no longer support it.

Over the past few days, although Lord Chunshen has also sent some troops to support the Wei army, the Wei army's losses in the attack on Pingyang City have been increasing day by day.

As the chief general of the Wei army, Mr. Xinling naturally bears enormous pressure.

Now that he could have a chance to fight Zhao Kuo in a decisive battle, Lord Xinling would naturally not object.

To put it bluntly, early death and early rebirth.

After figuring this out, Jun Shen couldn't laugh or cry, and felt like he was shooting himself in the foot with a rock.

After Lord Xinling finished speaking, Jingyang was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile, "As expected, Lord Xinling has the courage to fight.

It's much better than some cowards who have already been challenged by others but still hesitate to fight! "

The meaning of Jingyang's words is very obvious, as long as anyone with good ears can hear that he is talking about Chun Shenjun.

Chun Shenjun's face was extremely ugly, and he turned his attention to the South Korean army commander Jin Yan: "What is General Jin Yan's opinion?"

Jin Fu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Chunshen Jun, this old man also feels that it is time to fight.

The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces on our side can be regarded as the main force to attack Zhao. If we can't break through from the main force, I am afraid that the other two allied forces will also have complaints in their hearts. "

This sentence directly pushed Chun Shenjun to a dead end.

From a rational point of view, Chunshen Jun is actually not willing to just open up in the wild and fight Zhao Kuo directly.

Among the many battles in the past, Zhao Kuo was always able to win more with less under such circumstances, and finally won.

But the current situation is not something that Chun Shenjun alone can completely decide.

The two allies of South Korea and the State of Wei both advocated an attack, and further away, there were two allies of the State of Qin and the State of Qi waiting for news from the State of Chu.

If Mr. Chunshen did not attack, then the minor impact might be that he would lose the trust of other allies, and the major impact would even directly lead to the disintegration of the alliance that attacked Zhao this time.

Thinking of this, Chunshen Jun could only helplessly say: "Since you don't have any opinions, let's all go back and gather our troops. Two days later, we will officially have a decisive battle with Zhao Kuo. We must defeat him this time." Just do it!"

Chapter 797 The Second Battle of Pingyang City (1)

Chun Shenjun's reply quickly spread to Zhao Kuo.

To this, Zhao Kuo also responded with a smile: "Very well, let's start the war."

The Chu army's siege stopped from this day, and both sides were in full swing, preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.

The day of battle has arrived.

The gates of Pingyang City were opened for the first time after being besieged for several months.

Numerous soldiers of the Zhao Army held the red flag of Zhao State, poured out of the city gate like a tide, and began to line up outside the city.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms also left the camp one after another, and lined up according to the command of their respective officers.

Li Mu rode his horse and stood beside Zhao Kuo, with a somewhat puzzled expression on his face: "Why do they have to fight us?

In terms of strength and strength, they should be more dominant. "

In Li Mu's view, as the party with the superior strength, this kind of siege and attrition war should be more willing to see on the side of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but the strategic risk of a one-time decisive battle is too high.

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said very calmly: "Their military strength and strength are certainly superior, but the problem is that the interior of these coalition forces is not monolithic."

Behind the five-nation coalition are five kings, and in front of the five kings are five times as many ministers as Zhao. It is basically impossible for so many people to completely unify their thinking.

The diplomatic envoys of Zhao State did not just eat dry food and do not work during this period. According to the latest information sent by Handan, King Qi has actually been shaken due to his long-term attack, and King Han has also Under the coercion and lure of Zhao Guo's envoy, he began to consider whether he really wanted to withdraw from the coalition.

The vacillation of Qi State and South Korea will obviously be noticed by Chu State and Qin State, so during this period of time, the Qin Army's offensive in Hedong County was extremely fierce, and the Chu Army's general Chunshen Jun also had to accept the request for a decisive battle with Zhao Army.

In many cases, things on the battlefield are not just decided by the general. After all, fighting is a matter for a country.

"War is just a continuation of politics."

On War by Clausewitz.

Then, let's fight.

Zhao Kuo let out a long breath, and a sense of excitement gradually surged in his heart.

Zhao Kuo hadn't commanded such a big battle for a while, and every cell in his body seemed to be cheering, celebrating his return to the battlefield of thousands of troops.

Compared with the intriguing political arena, Zhao Kuo actually prefers to play on the battlefield!Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Send the order, the vanguard will attack!"

Zhao Kuo gave an order, and a vanguard army of tens of thousands of people immediately swept out from the position of Zhao Jun's central army, and killed the position of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.

On the other side of the battlefield, Jun Shen looked at this scene with an equally indifferent expression.

"Pass down the order and let the old man's pro-army attack!"

Jun Shen knew very well what this decisive battle meant. It not only meant the victory or defeat of the Chu State, but also whether the Yan State could be restored, and whether Zhao State's plot to annex the world could be achieved at the very beginning. is blocked.

This will change the historical trend of the entire Chinese world!Therefore, Lord Chunshen also spent a lot of money and sent out his own elite private army as soon as he came up, just to be able to take the lead in this decisive battle and frustrate Zhao Jun's spirit.

The fief soldiers under Chun Shenjun rushed out immediately and fought with Zhao Jun's vanguard army.

After a short exchange of bows and arrows, the two sides also directly entered the most intense and cruel stage of close combat.

Blood spattered, countless swords and swords kept going back and forth, the air was filled with loud shouts and an incomparably pungent bloody smell, and the footsteps of thousands of soldiers kicked up countless smoke and dust, directly turning this battlefield into a entered Shura Hell.

An orderly soldier rode back and forth quickly on a horse, reporting the situation on the front line of the battlefield to Zhao Kuo in a timely manner.

"Mr. Chunshen actually sent his own private army?

It's really hard work. "

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing.

Different from other countries, Chu's centralization reform is actually relatively poor, which has led to the fact that the nobles in Chu can still legally own private armies in their territories like in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Lord Chunshen has more than [-] soldiers and horses, all of which belong to Lord Chunshen, not Chu's private army, and the soldiers and horses of the three major Zhaojingqu families are not inferior to Lord Chunshen at all.

However, even after Zhao Kuo heard the news, he still seemed not worried.

Compared to Zhao Kuo's relaxedness, Li Mu was not so calm.

Li Mu heard clearly just now that Zhao Jun's vanguard has been firmly suppressed by Chun Shenjun's private soldiers.

So Li Mu hurriedly asked for a fight: "My lord, let me lead Chi You's army to charge it once!"

Since the defeat of Lord Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru and others, Chi You's army, which was originally compressed, gained glory again. The young King Zhao directly gave Chi You's 5000-man establishment with a wave of his hand.

In order to cope with this war, Zhao Kuo also brought all the 5000 people to Pingyang City.

After hearing Li Mu's invitation to fight, Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not time for you to fight yet."

Hearing this, Li Mu felt anxious and impatient, but he could only force himself to restrain himself.

Li Mu has no doubts about his lord's level of command. Since the lord says it's not the time, it's definitely not the time yet!Zhao Kuo continued to issue orders: "Come here, send [-] more troops to the Marquis to support the vanguard.

Also, both the left and right wings can march! "

Zhao Kuo gave an order, and tens of thousands of Zhao Jun immediately moved after hearing the news.

First, [-] Zhao troops rushed out from Zhao Guozhong's army, and directly responded to the original [-] vanguard army, stabilizing the situation where the vanguard army was about to collapse.

Next, Zhao Guo's left and right wings marched at the same time, making a posture of pressing the whole army.

To this, Chun Shenjun on the other side also reacted immediately.

"Come here, send a message to Mr. Xinling and Jin Fu immediately, and tell them to block Zhao Jun in front of him no matter what, and ask the old man for help immediately if necessary!"

Chunshen Jun is also unwilling to show weakness, or at this time, he has no room to show weakness.

After saying these words, Jun Shen turned his head sharply, and set his eyes on Jingyang.

"Sima Jingyang, the political disagreement between you and me has not been a day or two, and the old man still hates you very much.

But now for the victory of this battle, the old man hopes that you can immediately lead the elite of the Jing clan into the battle, how about it? "

Chapter 798

After hearing this sentence, Jingyang's complexion changed slightly, and he sneered at Chunshen Jun: "You don't like me, so why should I like you?

But you are right, if today's battle fails, neither you nor I can escape responsibility.

I will send troops immediately and lead the elite of the three major families to press on! "

Chunshen Jun let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "Okay, then I will ask the chief Sima!"

Watching Jingyang's chariot leave, Chunshen Jun's serious expression on his eyebrows relaxed a little bit.

After these months of fighting with Zhao Kuo, Chun Shenjun obviously has his own views on this war.

Although Zhao Jun is insufficient in quantity, he is superior in quality.

Chun Shenjun naturally came to a conclusion from this. If the battle continues for a long time, it will obviously be the coalition forces that will be defeated.

why?

Because if South Korea and Wei on the coalition side fight for too long and suffer too many losses, then these two countries are likely to retreat.

And Zhao Jun's quality is very strong, so Zhao Jun will definitely be able to support the defeat of South Korea and Wei if it continues to fight normally.

So how to solve it?

Mr. Chunshen thought of several plans, such as betting heavy troops on the Korean or Wei side, and then attacking the Zhao army's flank by surprise, so as to achieve the effect of breaking the surface.

But this plan was finally rejected by Chun Shenjun, and the answer was that Han Jun or Wei Jun were not reliable.

Putting the main force on the side of Han and Wei, it is indeed possible to surprise, but the Han army or Wei army as the main attack direction must suffer the most casualties. Will this cause the Han and Wei armies to retreat early?

Chun Shenjun was not sure at all.

Therefore, Chunshen Jun decided to adopt the simplest strategy, relying on the numerical advantage of the coalition forces to invest all the main forces in the front, and strive to defeat Zhao Guozhong's army in one fell swoop in the shortest time, thus establishing the victory.
