Zhao Kuo is not a fool.
Hot-blooded one-on-one fights are what reckless people do. When commanding a war, an excellent military strategist should look for weaknesses and flaws to break into the enemy, use the smallest cost to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and win.
"Speaking of which, Pang Nuan should be around 40 to [-] years old now, right?
It's just that I don't know where he lives in seclusion, otherwise, if he can be summoned, he can be regarded as a good general. "
Zhao Kuo withdrew his thoughts and set his sights on the surging river in front of him.
In Zhao Kuo's sight, a column-shaped hill stands impressively in the torrential torrent of the Yellow River, no matter how the river washes it, it will not fall down.
The name of this hill is Dizhu Mountain, which is why the word mainstay comes from.
Looking at the mainstay mountain in front of him, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel proud, he wants to become the mainstay of the Chinese world!Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "The whole army crosses the river!"
Under Zhao Kuo's order, 25 Zhao, Han and Wei allied forces crossed the surging Yellow River and officially entered the territory of Hedong County.
As the No.1 general in the world today, Zhao Kuo has a knack for using troops quickly and accurately. After crossing the river, Zhao Kuo hardly hesitated. He immediately sent his troops northward, and conquered Hedong County, which is the closest to the coalition forces, a day and a half later. Wuxian County, and then rushed straight towards Anyi at the fastest speed without stopping!Anyi was once the capital of Wei State, and it is also the county seat of Hedong County of Qin State today. As long as this city can be taken, the war in Hedong County will be settled.
The battle seemed to be going smoothly, but Zhao Kuo did not have any negligence.
After all, the opponent is in vain!Zhao Kuo's own memory has the most sufficient military knowledge in the world, coupled with the insight brought by traveling through the soul, he thinks that he will not be second-hand in this world.
And Bai Qi is the only one Zhao Kuo thinks is likely to defeat him, not even Lian Po.
Bai Qi's use of troops has always been ever-changing, predicting the enemy's opportunities first, and there are many classic battles in the battles he commanded. Facing such an enemy should not be taken lightly at any time.
So Zhao Kuo made another preparation while ordering a rapid march.
Since the marching route this time was basically along the plains, Zhao Kuo specially mobilized [-] elite Zhao cavalry to go south to help in the battle!Different from other countries, the cavalry of Zhao State not only established a separate side cavalry regiment because of King Wuling of Zhao's "Hufu Cavalry and Shooting" reform, but also has the strongest combat effectiveness among the various arms of Zhao State.
Now, the vast plains of Hadong County have become the best place for these side riders to gallop.
Except for Zhao Kuo's own [-] Chi You army, all the remaining cavalry were released by Zhao Kuo in a scale of [-] cavalry.
Zhao Kuo's request is very simple: "Occupy every village you see, eliminate every Qin army you see, if you encounter the main force of Qin, you must report back as soon as possible, and then give them to me to death Keep an eye on it!"
As for why cavalry were not used as the vanguard to attack Anyi, the reason is actually very simple. Cavalry are not good at attacking cities. Instead of letting these elite Zhao cavalry bask in the sun outside the tall city walls of Anyi, it is better to put them in the southwestern part of Hedong County. Among the basins, the plain here is the best place for them to gallop!Zhao Kuo's arrangement immediately had an effect. When the army was about eighty miles away from Anyi, Zhao Kuo finally received definite information about the Qin team.
That night, when Zhao Kuo, who had just finished dinner, was in the camp thinking about how to proceed with a map of Hedong County in the future, Xu Li's loud voice came in from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, A general of the cavalry has just returned to the camp and said that he has reported the whereabouts of the Qin army!"
Zhao Kuo raised his head when he heard this, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is not imperiled in a hundred battles, the most fearful thing in war is knowing nothing about the enemy! "Quickly, call that general in!"
A moment later, an extremely young and heroic officer in his early twenties, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, appeared in front of Zhao Kuo: "The general, Li Mu, has seen you!"
Zhao Kuo nodded, and asked impatiently, "You said you have information on Qin's army?"
Li Mu said seriously: "Exactly.
We found a large army of the Qin army in Jiecheng a day ago. According to visual estimation, the number should be around [-]. Judging from the banner, it seems to be led by a general Montessori. "
"General Montessori?"
Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses: "Then it must be Meng Ao! What about Bai Qi, have you found any traces of Bai Qi's army?"
The young officer of the Zhao State Frontier Cavalry Corps in front of him said in a deep voice, "Return to the general, but I didn't find the banner of Bai Qi's subordinate."
Zhao Kuo let out an oh, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Bai Qi is not with Meng Ao at this time, so where did he go?
Suddenly, Zhao Kuo came back to his senses and stared at the young officer in front of him in shock: "Wait, you just said your name is Li Mu?"
In the history of the Warring States Period, there was a saying called the Four Famous Generals. Among them, the two famous generals from Qin State were Bai Qi and Wang Jian, and the two famous generals from Zhao State were Lian Po and Li Mu!Could this Li Mu be the legendary Li Mu who was called the "God of Zhao's Cavalry"?
Chapter 161 Promotion to Li Mu
The young Li Mu was obviously taken aback by Zhao Kuo's sudden surprise, and he said after a few seconds, "Hui Junhou, my subordinate's name is indeed Li Mu."
Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and asked, "Have you ever served in Gaoquesai?"
Li Mu replied: "To tell you the truth, this subordinate is the cavalry general of Gaoquesai!"
So far, Zhao Kuo has no doubts in his heart.
The young cavalry general in front of him is indeed Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States period!Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo's mood suddenly brightened.
This is Li Mu!How strong is Li Mu?
Just look at his record in history.
Speaking of Li Mu, we must first mention the Xiongnu, which is also an enemy that must not be bypassed in the history of China.
People all remember the long-term confrontation between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, and also remember the feat of General Meng Tian’s northern expedition to expel the Xiongnu and regain Hetao during the Qin Dynasty, but few people know that someone defeated the Huns’ large-scale invasion before the Qin and Han Dynasties. This person is Li Mu. .
As early as the late Warring States period, the Xiongnu had actually shown signs of rising. One year, the King of the Huns, together with the Linhu, Donghu, and Xunyu tribes, assembled more than 20 cavalry to attack the State of Zhao. The supreme commander of the legion led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to fight fiercely with the grassland coalition forces.
After a fierce battle, Li Mu defeated the grassland tribes with few victories, killed and captured 10,000+ grassland cavalry, directly forced the Linhu tribe to surrender to Zhao State, and even wiped out the first-class big tribe on the grassland. Donghu and Xiongnu were severely injured and had to flee thousands of miles away.
This battle directly disabled all the nomadic peoples on the grassland. From then until the demise of Zhao State, the grassland tribes including the Xiongnu never dared to invade Zhao State on a large scale.
We must know that the Qin and Han dynasties of the later generations gathered the power of the entire Huaxia to fight against the Huns after unifying the world, but Li Mu at this time was only relying on the power of Zhao Guo, so the difficulty can be imagined.
Li Mu's talent is not only reflected in fighting the northern nomads, he also has an extremely brilliant performance in the face of the strength of Qin.
After Li Mu defeated the Xiongnu, he was transferred back to Handan to preside over military affairs. At this time, it was the end of the Warring States Period, and Qin State had launched a war of destruction and unification against the six kingdoms under the rule of Qin Shihuang.
It was against this background that Li Mu led the battle of Changping and was killed by the extremely weak Zhao army with 40 soldiers. First, he defeated the Qin army led by Qin general Huan Yu in the battle of Fei, killed and captured him. More than [-] Qin soldiers and horses.
In the second year after the outbreak of the Battle of Fei, the Qin army attacked again. This time it was Li Mu who led the Zhao army to defeat the Qin army in the Battle of Fanwu and killed the Qin general Meng Ao, forcing Qin to attack Zhao. The attack stopped again.
At that time, Wang Jian, the general of the Qin State who led the attack on Zhao State, knew that he could not defeat Li Mu, so he repeated the same trick, and used the estrangement scheme used by Qin State in the Battle of Changping again, and spread Li Mu's desire in Handan. Rumors of leading troops to rebel, and at the same time bribed the favorite ministers around King Zhao to speak ill of Li Mu.
Zhao Wangqian, the last great king of Zhao State, was tricked and sent people to kill Li Mu and his deputy Sima Shang.
In the year when Li Mu died, the Qin army marched straight into the hinterland of Zhao State, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was captured, and Zhao State declared its demise.
Whether it was against the Xiongnu or against the Qin State, Li Mu's record was solid and full of gold content, and he always won more with the few and defeated the strong with the weak, absolutely turning the tide.
Many historians and military strategists of later generations believed that if Li Mu did not die, the time for Qin to destroy Zhao would be delayed by at least ten years, and it might even be impossible to unify the world!And now, such a Li Mu is standing in front of Zhao Kuo alive, how can Zhao Kuo not be excited?
Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and tried his best to sound amiable: "Li Mu, come here, sit down, Benhou wants to hear the details of your investigation mission this time!"
At this moment, Li Mu was equally excited. You must know that the person in front of him was Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, the idol worshiped by every soldier of Zhao State!Li Mu didn't dare to neglect and sat down immediately, and explained the process of this mission as concisely as possible.
As the saying goes, knowing the work from the small, Zhao Kuo, as a famous general in the world, can naturally judge the information he wants from what Li Mu has seen and heard, and has a preliminary understanding of Li Mu.
Not to mention anything else, just say that Li Mu reported in an orderly manner, and the judgment and analysis of the military situation shows that this is definitely a general's talent.
Zhao Kuo's tone became more and more kind: "Li Mu, how old are you this year, and how many years have you joined the army?"
Li Mu clasped his hands and said, "Hui Junhou, this subordinate is 22 years old and has been in the army for more than a year."
Zhao Kuo nodded secretly. He has only been in the army for more than a year and he is already so good. It is no wonder that after growing up in the future, he can defeat the strong Qin army one after another.
Zhao Kuo no longer had any doubts in his heart, and said to Li Mu, "Hundred generals, Li Mu obey!"
Li Mu immediately stood up and said loudly, "Li Mu obeys!"
Zhao Kuo said slowly: "You have made great achievements in investigating the enemy's situation. From today onwards, I will promote you to the rank of [-] Lord and lead Chi You Army's [-] cavalry to fight. After you go out, report to General Xu Li, the leader of Chi You Army!"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Thank you, Junhou, this subordinate has taken orders!"
Seeing Li Mu's leaving figure, Zhao Kuo showed a happy smile on his face.
What is most important to a leader?
Talent of course!Li Mu is undoubtedly one of the top military talents in the world. The most important thing is that he is only a fledgling young officer. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to miss such a good opportunity. He must recruit Li Mu to his command.
Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of another question with a smile: "Since Li Mu is an adult, Wang Jian should also be in the Qin army, right?"
Meng Ao's big tent.
"What, there are traces of Zhao Jun's cavalry scouts around?"
When he heard this sentence, Meng Ao's face suddenly became very ugly, and he had a look of disbelief: "The Zhao people came so fast?"
You must know that Meng Ao has just led his army into Hedong County for less than two days!Taking a deep breath, Meng Ao asked the subordinate in front of him: "Can you detect the location of the main force of Zhao's army?"
The subordinate replied: "General, the cavalry scouts of Zhao State have excellent archery skills and there are a large number of them. The news in the southeast direction of Hedong County has been completely cut off. I don't know what's going on there!"
"Bastard!"
Meng Ao slammed his fist heavily on the table in front of him, his face became more and more ugly.
Up to now, there is no need to say much about the attack direction of Zhao's main army, but Meng Ao has no pleasure in judging victory by himself.
With only 5 troops under his command, how can he resist the attack of Zhao Kuo's 25 troops?
Chapter 162 Zhao Kuo is waiting for the old man
Meng Ao didn't know that Zhao Kuo had dispatched Le Cheng with 30 soldiers to attack Hangu Pass, so he subconsciously thought that the main force of the Zhao army in front of him was a full [-].
But whether it is 30 or 25, it is a terrifying and completely irresistible number for Meng Ao's [-] Qin army.
What should I do?
After all, Meng Ao is a general of the Qin State. After a short period of panic, he quickly calmed down, frowning, staring at the map and thinking about countermeasures.
After a long time, Meng Ao finally made up his mind and immediately raised his account to summon all the generals in the army.
As soon as Meng Ao came up, he went straight to the point: "Everyone, Zhao Kuo has led a total of 30 people from the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces to cross the river and enter the territory of Hedong County!"
After Meng Ao said a word, the generals of Qin State who were present were immediately commotioned.
Meng Ao looked around the crowd, and said coldly: "This general has made up his mind, the whole army will go to Anyi as quickly as possible, and strive to arrive before Zhao Jun, so as to prevent Anyi from falling into the hands of Zhao Jun! Immediately summon the soldiers of the three armies , we set out overnight!"
Meng Ao's judgment is very simple. Zhao Jun's offensive target must be Anyi. As long as he can arrive in advance and defend Anyi, he can wait for the time to wait for Bai Qi to lead the main force of the Qin Army. The very unfavorable situation of the whole battle has been given a chance to ease.
The unexpected happened out of the blue.
"Report! Lord Wu'an's envoy has arrived!"
Meng Ao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Please come in the envoy!"
A moment later, a travel-worn envoy walked into the big tent and saluted Meng Ao: "I have seen General Meng, and I came here to convey orders to the general at the order of the king!"
Meng Ao recognized that the other party was Bai Qi's personal bodyguard, nodded and said: "Where is the military order of Lord Wu An?"
The envoy took out a silk book from his bosom and handed it to Meng Ao: "Your Majesty has orders, General Meng Ao must act according to plan!"
Meng Ao took a look at the silk book and was stunned.
There were only four words written on it, "stand by!"
Meng Ao opened his mouth wide, unable to understand Bai Qi's thoughts at all.
An Yi is gone?
Anyi.
Zhao Kuo looked at the tall and majestic city in front of him, and couldn't help expressing emotion: "It still has such a style, what a grand scene it was when Wei Wenhou commanded the world here!"
Anyi, a capital city that inherited the glory of the overlord Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and was once the center of China for nearly a hundred years, although it still stands here today, its owner has become a Qin people.
Beside Zhao Kuo, General Wei Jin Bi had a complicated expression on his face.
Thirty years ago, because of the oppression of Qin State's continuous attacks, Wei State had to dedicate the entire Hedong County, including Anyi, to Qin State.
At that time, Jin Bi, who was still a young man, felt the strong humiliation and at the same time made up his mind that one day he must recover Anyi for the Great Wei!Now Jin Bi is indeed at the foot of the city of Anyi, but it is a pity that even if this city is captured, Hedong County will only be owned by the State of Zhao in the future, and has nothing to do with the State of Wei!Zhao Kuo didn't care about the loss in Jin Bi's heart, but said lightly: "General Jin Bi, I entrust the troops of Wei and Han to you, and you are responsible for surrounding and attacking Anyi City!"
Jin Bi responded subconsciously, and immediately discovered some other meaning hidden in Zhao Kuo's words: "Does Lord Wu Xin want to lead his troops away?"
Zhao Kuo smiled: "That's right, I want to find an opportunity, now I have to see if Bai Qi will give me this opportunity!"
On that day, the allied forces of Han and Wei completed the siege of Anyi, and began to cut down trees and mine boulders to make siege weapons in preparation for the attack.
The news spread to the Qin army camp 150 miles away at an extremely fast speed.
It was already night, and the main tent of the Qin Army camp was brightly lit.
Meng Ao sat at the bottom, and the one sitting at the top was none other than Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Qin State.
Just as Zhao Jun's marching speed was completely beyond Meng Ao's expectation, Bai Qi's marching speed was also beyond Meng Ao's expectation.
After Meng Ao received Bai Qi's order three days ago, he had to give up the idea of rushing to Anyi and stationed there instead.
After only being stationed for one night, Meng Ao saw the main force of Bai Qi's [-] Qin army the next day!This made Meng Ao stunned and confirmed the fact that Bai Qi already believed that Hedong County was the main direction of Zhao Jun's attack from the very beginning, otherwise Bai Qi would not be able to fly so fast even if he was flying!This made Meng Ao admire Bai Qi, but at the same time, new doubts arose, why didn't he save Anyi?
Meng Ao couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, there are only 1 defenders in Anyi, and [-] of them are young and strong peasants recruited temporarily. I'm afraid if they don't come to the rescue as soon as possible." Meng Ao didn't continue. , but the meaning in the words can be understood by everyone.
If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid Anyi will be lost!Faced with Meng Ao's doubts, Bai Qi, who was staring at the topographic map of Hedong County on the table, replied indifferently, without even raising his head: "It's okay, although there are few defenders in Anyi, the city is strong. , Zhao Kuo will not be able to defeat this city in ten and a half months."
