The main camp of the Qin army was tightly guarded, and all entrances and exits were subject to interrogation. The leader of Wang Lu's army personally guarded the entrance to the tent.

In the camp, a man with a sharp face, a small head, and black and white pupils sat at the table, frowning.

During this time, he ate, drank, and had sex in this big tent. Although someone was responsible for cleaning it, the smell inside the tent was still slightly nauseating due to poor air circulation.

This person was Tu Baiqi, who started out as a civilian, accumulated military exploits, and became the number one general in the Warring States Period.

He looked at the map and the military reports arranged like a small mountain on the table, and remained silent for a long time.

Next to him, the nominal head coach of the Qin Army and the mascot of the Qin Army, Wang Lu, naturally did not dare to speak first.

In terms of seniority, Bai Qi was the commander-in-chief of the Qin army when Wang Hao was the leader of the army.

In terms of strength, Wang Hao thought that he could not keep up with Bai Qi.

Even the messenger from Handan City sent a message back, saying that before Zhao Kuo left for the expedition, he had promised that as long as Bai Qi could not come, Zhao Kuo would definitely drive Wang Lu back to Hangu Pass.

This made Wang Hao so angry that his teeth almost broke.

The Qin army did not think highly of Wang Lu, but regarded Wang Lu as a smoke bomb.

The coach has been replaced by Bai Qi, and we have to tighten confidentiality, for fear that the opponent will not attack if they know that the coach is not Wang Lu.

"Does anyone else in the army know that I have come to take over as the coach?" Bai Qi asked.

Wang Hao quickly bowed and replied: "Reporting to Mr. Wu'an, the people who know about your arrival are all generals above the rank of general, loyal and reliable. Moreover, our Qin State is not like Zhao State who can be infiltrated casually. Our army has strict military discipline.

, the orders are strictly enforced, these days, in the Chinese military camp, except for the food transport team and the patrol team, no one has stepped out of the camp gate."

"Then why did the leading troops of the Zhao army turn back after crossing the river?" Bai Qi punched the table, very puzzled.

Before Bai Qiqi, he had specially studied several generals of Zhao State, and finally decided that Zhao Kuo was the best weak persimmon.

After all, although Zhao Kuo was familiar with the art of war, he had no opponent in debates. However, Bai Qi felt that this man was a boaster and only knew how to read the art of war, but he did not know that water has no permanent power and soldiers have no permanent shape.

This kind of opponent is Bai Qi's favorite.

Therefore, the Qin soldiers in Handan City tried their best to spread the rumor that the Qin army was most afraid of Zhao Kuo.

Moreover, careful work was rewarded, and King Zhao finally couldn't help it and wanted to take the initiative.

After all, they are young people and do not understand the principle of fighting a protracted war.

Zhao State thought that its logistics transportation had to go through mountain roads. The five northern counties did not produce food and had a weak foundation, so they could not sustain long-term resistance. However, Qin State's logistics transportation could use the waterway along the Hedong Road, and Qin State was sitting on the Bashu granary. After the reform, the country became strong.

, can afford it.

Qin's grain harvest this year is not good, and it can't actually afford it.

For this national war, King Qin Yingji secretly went to Hanoi to supervise the war.

If Changping could not be defeated, Zhao Kuo might not be needed to pursue him, and Bai Qi would have no choice but to lead King Qin back to Hangu Pass on an empty stomach.

Bai Qi had already laid a dragnet against Zhao Kuo, who had been ordered to die by King Zhao, and waited for Zhao Kuo to take the bait, fall into the bowl, and let himself have a big meal.

Who knows, Zhao Jun suddenly withdrew.

It's like fishing by yourself and preparing delicious bait, but the big fish licked the bait and swam away.

Bai Qi's face was gloomy, and Wang Hao didn't dare to express his anger. He had always respected Bai Qi, but this time, his respect rose to fear.

Fearful of Bai Qi's arrangements.

The Qin army had an army of 600,000, of which about 100,000 were armored. The rest were auxiliaries and soldiers used to stabilize the battle line or guard the baggage.

In order to lure the enemy, Bai Qi sent the baggage guard troops with the weakest combat effectiveness to the west bank of the Dan River, the front line.

Zhao's vanguard troops must be the most elite. When faced with an attack by these troops, Qin's guard troops are no match for them, and the casualties must be very heavy.

But in Bai Qi's view, since they want to lure the enemy into pretending to be defeated, they must be defeated completely, so Zhao Jun believes that they are about to win.

In Bai Qi's plan, these frontline troops must sacrifice their lives in exchange for Zhao Jun's advancement. From the barrier on the west bank of the Dan River to the front of Guanglang City, the Qin troops along the way need to lose their lives to Zhao Jun and let Zhao Jun fully devote themselves.

, so that Bai Qi’s backhand can be effective.

But now Zhao Jun is not coming, which makes Bai Qi feel very difficult.

Now, let's find out whether we should continue to release our backhand, or directly push forward.

If it were in the past, Bai Qi would have chosen the third path and waited to find out more.

But now, the logistical pressure of the Qin State is actually very great. The King of Qin is personally supervising the battle from the rear. The Qin State secretaries in Handan City have tried their best to make Zhao Kuo the coach. They have also laid a dragnet. If they don't make some achievements, even if the King of Qin does not pursue him, he will not be held accountable.

The morale of the Qin army will inevitably be affected.

"Report." A general came in with a military report. In order to keep the matter of changing commanders before battle secret, the Qin army's generals in the company's commander camp were all served as messengers by the generals of the Chinese army.

"What, Zhao Guo issued a large reward, and the three armies cheered." Bai Qi looked at the military report and couldn't believe it.

The battle hadn't even been fought yet, so why were the rewards given out? What kind of trick did Zhao Kuo play? This was not in line with the art of war that Zhao Kuo often said.

At this time, it was the eve of the war, and it was much more difficult for the agents to gather information than before. The agents risked their lives to get this news.

Bai Qi frowned, and Wang Lu said beside him: "Could it be that the retreat after crossing the river before was just a test, trying to lure our army to attack, and then attack them halfway across the river. Now Zhao Kuo's plan failed, so he gave out a large reward, but for the war

Go ahead and inspire the soldiers, cross the river a second time, and attack our army."

Bai Qi was noncommittal. If the morale of the Zhao army was strong, it would be unwise for the Qin army to cross the river and attack now.

If it could be captured by force, Wang Lu would have succeeded long ago, so there is no need to wait for Bai Qi.

"After the order is passed, the 20,000 Wu Lao Battalion cavalry will start from Changbai according to the original plan, climb the mountain along the natural mountain path to Haize, then go up the Qinchuan River, and attack Changping Pass from behind. The 5,000 Wu Lao Battalion

Along the Xiaodongcang River, they forcibly broke through the Zhao army's Danhe defense line. The northern army's elite soldiers followed immediately and told them that they did not want to be beheaded, but just cut off the connection between Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, and everyone would be promoted to the first rank."

"No." Wang Lu accepted the order and was about to leave.

Bai Qi continued: "This time the king has given me his three thousand Iron Eagle warriors. You choose a general who dares to die and lead them around the Pushui River Valley. We must win the old pass.

"

Bai Qi's meaning is very clear. If the old pass cannot be taken, the generals and Iron Eagle warriors who led the team must die there, and none of them can come back.

In real history, the 25,000 Qin Army successfully attacked Changping Pass and the 5,000 Qin Army successfully cut through the line connecting Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain. After joining forces, the Qin Army captured the old pass in a two-pronged attack and captured the old pass.

The hundred-mile ancient Great Wall became a nightmare that Zhao Jun could not break through.

And now, although Zhao Kuo did not follow common sense and did not follow the tactics of war, Bai Qi still realized the importance of Gu Pass, and the most elite Qin army was already on the way to raid Gu Pass.
