Chapter 140: Zhao Guo, Who Can't Hide
The river flows continuously, and the rivers never end day and night.
On the east bank of the Great River, horses roared and people were roaring. Above the city, the black dragon flag of the Qin army fluttered in the wind. Under the black dragon flag, a brand new "Meng" flag roared.
For the first time, I stepped on the land on the east bank of the river and looked up at the steep Luliang mountains and steep mountains. It is really a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
When Wei Wuhou spread to the West River, he felt the surging river water, the mountains were high and the cliffs were steep, and he sighed: Isn’t it true that the dangers of the rivers and mountains are solid? Now it seems that Wei Wuhou’s words are reasonable. The steep terrain is too important for the national defense.
The Qin State's ability to grow smoothly to the point of looking down on the world was closely related to the dangerous terrain in Guanzhong. The coalition of princes, who came to Hangu Pass several times, had to return in a bad mood.
However, the secret to the country's strength is that the terrain is just one important factor, not all.
When Wei Wuhou sighed, the State of Wei occupied the Hexi Highlands and occupied the natural danger of the Yellow River. But now, the State of Wei can only survive.
If God doesn't take it, he will suffer the consequences.
Looking at the cavalry under his command, they all crossed the river like a winding dragon, heading towards Gaolang City, heading to Taiyuan County, Jinyang Camp, Meng Tian's heart quietly exclaimed the sighs that the ancients often sighed.
Who would have thought that the dying Qin State would become a country that will be destined to be a destiny after a hundred years.
"General, General Yang has sent someone to welcome him!"
At this time, Meng Bao climbed to the top of the city and reported.
"Let's meet in the military camp!"
Gaolang Military Camp, Zhao Ying and Zhao Hai brothers sat and stood and stood restlessly.
Zhao Ying felt a little embarrassed when she thought of boasting about the past in front of Meng Tian.
He once mocked Meng Tian for being able to stay in Shangjun and accompany the Huns. However, within a few months, Meng Tian led his cavalry to set foot on the battlefield of Zhao State.
"Brother, you can't speak bravely if you lose your army. Don't be in trouble with Meng Tian."
Zhao Hai knew Zhao Hai's aura and persuaded him with all his heart: "As the saying goes, being an impartial man is not a man. A man needs to be more open-minded."
"this······"
Zhao Ying hesitated and couldn't speak. Zhao Hai's words were reasonable, but there were some truths that he didn't necessarily know.
"I think Meng Tian is younger than me, but I'm the first fight..."
Zhao Ying grabbed the pants on her lower body hard, with her face on the side, and she felt very unwilling.
"Brother, you have too high demands on yourself. Since Meng Tian led his troops, he mainly fought with the Chu people. After Wu'an Jun attacked Chu, the morale of the Chu people disappeared. But the Zhao people were different. After Changping, the Zhao army fought against Qin, and everyone fought desperately and took revenge. The Zhao army's combat power was much stronger than that of the Chu army."
Zhao Hai is telling the truth. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, since the decline of Wei Wushu, only the Zhao army can compete with the Qin army to compete with each other.
What Zhao Hai did not say was that in the battle of Changping, Bai Qi killed more than 200,000 prisoners of the Zhao army, and almost every Zhao family wore mourning. This hatred continued, and the Zhao army fought against the Qin army and never surrendered again, but chose to fight to the end.
The people of Zhao are good at fighting and are sincere and do not deceive.
"Zhao Hai said it right. If Qin cannot defeat Zhao, he will not dare to fight for the Central Plains with confidence!"
Zhao Ying still didn't answer, Meng Tian opened the tent door, stepped in, and sat on the main seat.
The Zhao brothers of Xianyang, Zhao Ying was impulsive, and Zhao Hai was calm. Qin unified the world and fought countless battles, and Zhao Hai had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Meng Tian thought that as long as Zhao Hai stayed in the army, he would not be afraid of not having the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
As for Zhao Ying, that's not necessarily true.
"General Yang sent Zhao Ying over and asked General Meng to hurry to Jinyang Camp!"
Zhao Ying's heart was only as big as a reef bay. Zhao Hai's words to persuade him to be extravagant and her husband were forgotten when he saw Meng Tian. After he bowed quickly, he conveyed Yang Duanhe's orders with expressionless expressions.
"Quick?" Meng Tian smiled, "How fast is it?"
"Three days." Zhao Ying gritted her teeth.
"Three days, time is enough. After the follow-up soldiers are on the shore, I will go to Jinyang immediately." Meng Tian calculated that from Gaolang to Jinyang, two days will be enough for the cavalry to pass.
Yang Duan and Xin were defeated, but they lacked confidence, so they gave Meng Tian a day to rest and cushion. After the defeat of the battle, the Qin army was in deep ditch and high bases and could not escape the battle. The pressure on the front line was not that great.
Meng Tian's confident look was particularly dazzling in Zhao Ying's eyes. He wanted to turn around and leave, but the military orders to violate the south. The cavalry on the northern line have been greatly damaged since the previous battle. He, a cavalry general, had no other choice except to accept Meng Tian's command.
The Qin army was defeated on both sides of the north and south. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Xianyang did not hold the front-line generals responsible. Otherwise, Zhao Ying would not listen to the persuasion and risk his pursuit and end up with great defeat. He would be afraid that he would be taken away and start over again.
Duke Mu of Qin appointed Meng Mingshi and fought repeatedly, but his trust remained unabashed. The generals of Qin State were not afraid of losing their lives when they were defeated, but they would leave a disgraceful record in their life experience. They would likely fade out of the military from now on.
"It's easy to say. After you fight with Zhao Jun, hum, the fox's tail will be exposed, right?"
Zhao Ying curled his lips secretly. He didn't want Meng Tian to win at all, but instead wanted to see Meng Tian lose. Thinking of Meng Tian returning in a mess, Zhao Ying's heart became much more balanced.
"I don't have many cavalrymen in my hands, only 15,000 people. You two integrate the cavalry under your command and temporarily serve as the 2500 masters..."
"What?" Before Meng Tian finished speaking, Zhao Ying shouted: "I am the captain who commanded ten thousand cavalry. Do you want me to be the 2500 lords of a thousand people?"
Zhao Ying's face turned red, her eyes wider than bull's eyes, and she stared at Meng Tian angrily. If Zhao Hai hadn't held him tightly, Zhao Ying would have rushed out.
"Hey, why are you so ungrateful! The general asked you to be the master of two or five hundred yuan, which is already very good."
Meng Bao took a step forward, squinted his eyes, and said with disdain, "I want me to say that a defeated general like you should start with a small soldier, so that you can't ignore the lives of the soldiers!"
"The cavalry under the general's command has Li Bi, Luo Jia, Meng Hu and Meng Bao. The army speaks with strength. You two have new arrivals and fail to convince the public. It takes time to get everyone's recognition."
Jing Su glanced at Zhao Ying and felt very dissatisfied. Li Bi, Luo Jia, and Meng Hu were training the army. If they were here, with Zhao Ying's temper, they would be beaten up.
"Li Bi, Luo Jia, Meng Hu, Meng Bao, have been following me since Shanglinyuan's training. He fought from Nanyang to Shangjun and from Shangjun to Taiyuan. However, with his military merits, he has been at his current position!"
Meng Tian said lightly, he did not lie. Any group has an xenophobic nature. Although Zhao Ying served as the vanguard of Yang Duanhe, if he became an equal with his old subordinates as soon as he arrived in Meng Tian's army, it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Besides, Zhao Ying is a man with a noble background and arrogance. He has a gap with Meng Tian, so Meng Tian dares not assign him important tasks. On the battlefield, soldiers are very realistic, and Meng Tian doesn't want to bring a time bomb to a decisive battle with Zhao's army.
Letting Zhao Ying lead a thousand cavalry can not only temper him, but also not affect the overall situation. As for whether Zhao Ying can overcome this level and what kind of gains he can get, Meng Tian doesn't care.
