Chapter 164: Great Depth (1)

The sunshine in early autumn spreads all over the sky, the autumn air is clear and clear, and the cloudless sky is filled with a thick blue curtain, which looks like the vast sea to the east of Qidi.

The soldiers of Zhao and the camp looked up at the deep sky above their heads, and were amazed in their hearts, enjoying this rare leisure.

In the main general Sima Shang's tent, Sima Shang held a bamboo slip in his hand, his pupils wide open, and his mouth was slightly opened, but he didn't close for a long time.

The handsome tent was full of solid curtains, and stayed inside. After a long time, he would feel a little hot. A few cold sweats appeared on Sima Shang's forehead, and his body trembled suddenly, as if he felt a little cold air.

"General, is it okay?"

Hu Zhe, the cavalry general under the tent, noticed something was wrong with Sima Shang. He sent out the irrelevant general, put down the curtain of the commander's tent, and asked anxiously.

"Jingxing Pass is lost..."

Sima Shang sighed and handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Hu Zhe.

"How is that possible?" Hu Zhe was very surprised. "The mountains and roads of Jingxing Pass are high and dangerous. One man is at the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. No matter how many troops there are, the Qin army has thousands of troops, but it cannot open it."

"You are right. The Qin army attacked Jingxing Pass head on the front, but it was impossible to succeed." Sima Shang shook his head helplessly, "The Qin army sent a small army to cross the Taihang Mountains and sneaked into Jingxing Pass, then pretended to be a grain transport team, and sneaked into Jingxing Pass."

"What did Zhao Tong do for? Most of the Qin army on the Northern Line came from the northern region and Shangjun. You can tell it out quickly with a little snack!"

Hu Zhe stomped his feet hard, and the Zhao army fought hard several times to repel the Qin army, but unexpectedly, Zhao Tong threw away the Jingxing Pass, which was originally foolproof.

"When Zhao Tong went to Jingxing Pass, I specifically told him not to fight. What kind of person is Zhao Tong? He read some military books, but he did not have the courage to fight to the death. He went to guard Jingxing Pass and obeyed the orders."

Sima Shang's tone changed, and he punched the table, and said angrily: "But it shouldn't be true. After losing Jingxing Pass, Zhao Tong shouldn't rush back to Handan immediately, but should retreat to Shiyi and contact reinforcements."

"Hmph, when I go back to Handan, I will definitely kill Zhao Tong!"

Hu Zhe spat in the direction of Handan. There are many brave and good at fighting in the Zhao royal family, and many people from the Zhao family have also been planted in the army. The long-term life in Anyi, or the bravery of the ancestors of Zhao, overdrawing the Zhao family's martial spirit. In recent decades, the leaders of the Zhao royal family have really become worse than the previous generation.

"How do you kill him? He is Pingyuan Jun's son. Even if he is just a concubine's son, you can't move."

Sima Shang responded angrily, feeling very depressed.

The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei divided Jin and seized the Jin Dynasty. The three families familiar with the history of Jin concluded that the weak royal family gave the six ministers the opportunity to become bigger and stronger. In the past, the monarchs of the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei attached great importance to talents and respected talents, but behind their backs, they attached great importance to the precautions of their ministers.

The monarch of Zhao has always preferred to value the royal ministers. Those who are as glorious as Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, their status in the minds of King Zhao is not as good as those of the royal ministers like Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao.

"The terrain of Yanhe is dangerous and not so easy to attack. I will leave a bunch of soldiers to defend Yanhe, and the rest of the soldiers retreat and keep Xin to block Yang Duanhe's army."

Sima Shang looked at the table with his eyes full of thought, and soon his eyes became clear. When soldiers came to block the enemy, the water came to cover the earth, and then cursed Zhao Tong, it would not solve the problem at all.

"Yang Duan and this man have been following Wang Jian for a long time. The method of using troops is very similar to Wang Jian. They are cautious in everything and are reluctant to take risks easily. I am confident that I can still deal with him. However, another army broke into Zhao territory, but you need to deal with it."

"Who is it?" Hu Zhe asked with his head raised.

"Meng Tian!"

"General, why didn't our army repair it in Changcheng, but rushed south?"

At dawn, the cavalry led by Meng Tian replenished food and grass and continued on the journey without any pause. Li Bi touched his aches, and thought of Changcheng, who had a tall and perfect city wall, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

"If you want to give up, you will gain only if you give up. The advantage of cavalry lies in mobility. If you station in a city, you will only fall into the siege of the Zhao army."

Meng Tian's horse whip whips the war horse under his crotch. The horse's hooves and simple stirrups ensure that his cavalry is more capable of marching continuously.

After leaving Shiyi and deep into Zhao State, Meng Tian lost contact with Yang Duanhe's army. In ancient times, without long-range communication, the two armies were far apart and could not fight together at all.

While the Zhao army had not yet reacted, Meng Tian had to make full use of the strategic depth he had obtained and penetrated directly into the hinterland of Zhao. Even though Yang Duanhe's army could not meet Meng Tian, ​​the Qin army of several hundred thousand had left Jingxing Pass and pressed towards the north of Zhao. Sima Shang could not draw many troops to intercept him.

As long as you defeat the last exciting force of Zhao State...

Meng Tian's eyes firmly looked towards Handan in the south, and silently said in his heart: "Handan will appear in front of me, Meng Tian!"

In the next few days, Li Bi, Luo Jia and others truly reflected the principle of what it means to be a god.

After taking Changcheng, Meng Tian conquered Fuliu, Song Zi, Yang family, and Linping.

Man Qiang led a small team of vanguards to pretend to be a Zhao cavalry, and those who could be deceived would be deceived. After Meng Tian led a large army to arrive, he burned all the food in the suburbs of the city and did not bother with the Zhao people at all.

Jing Su led the scouts to the heart of Zhao from afar, indicating the direction of the march, and spreading rumors. Meng Tian's 20,000 cavalry, which reached the Zhao people's ears, became 200,000, ten times more.

The golden autumn season is the time for a bumper harvest.

After Meng Tian crossed Jingxing Pass, he kept moving forward without stopping and continued, and the Zhao people had no time to clear the country. The supply problem that Meng Tian had always worried about was properly resolved.

Meng Tian has practiced the principle of military use by war to support war, which emphasized by military strategists in all dynasties.

As he went deeper into Zhao's territory, the Qin army completely eliminated his doubts. Even Li Bi, who usually talked a lot, became silent and seemed more determined when obeying orders.

There is no way out, and there are people around Zhao people who are eyeing each other. Only by joining together to keep warm and working together can the Qin army break out a way of life.

Whenever a city was attacked, the Qin army seized food step by step, burned the arsenal, killed the Zhao army soldiers, and threw away all the Zhao coins in the treasury.

At the beginning, Meng Tian felt a little unbearable, but then he thought that unreasonable sympathy would only cause more harm to his own people. War is always cruel. In order to win, as a general in charge, he had to harden his heart.

The four simple words truly express the character that the leader should have.

If you want to live and enjoy victory by yourself, you must eliminate all obstacles that hinder your life from victory.

“Where is the front?”

On that day, Meng Tian looked through the map in his hand and found that only large cities were marked on it, and it could no longer be used as a marching map.

"General, the place ahead is called Quliang."

The guide who was captured by the Qin army, looked at the shaky sword, looked at the heavy purse, and made a wise choice. The generals of the Qin army were very generous and allowed him to receive ten palace maids after entering Handan.

"After passing Quliang, we entered the territory of Handan. The guard of Quliang, named Yan Ju, escaped from Qi. Yan Ju recently married a concubine and hoped that the general would reward the man to the villain..."
