7. Tour the story
In fact, there are many coincidences and uncertain factors in the formation of killing Wang Lu.
Time goes back to a few days ago, when Zhao's army was completely reduced, Sima Yue asked Zhao Kuo to move to the commander's tent on King Han's mountain.
After all, the fortifications there are complete, the view is good, and it is the former headquarters of Lian Po. The living conditions are good, and even meals can be served with a cauldron instead of a helmet.
But Zhao Kuo did not agree with this arrangement. Although he did not understand fighting, he had seen the Three Kingdoms.
Didn't the colleague with the same name as himself, surnamed Ma, lose his street pavilion because he went to camp on the mountain?
He couldn't make the same mistake again. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo refused Le Sima Yue's kindness and went directly to camp at the foot of the mountain. The Zhao people were good at martial arts, and the army had the tradition of placing military tents in front of them, so Zhao Kuo set up military tents in Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain.
Behind the fortress of the store in between, at the foot of Hanwang Mountain.
For the sake of safety, Zhao Kuo not only had people strengthen the barriers on the store, but also added several barriers around the handsome tent.
There is a rectangular red soil platform in front of the store's rampart, six miles from east to west and four miles from north to south. The surface is broken. The locals call it red soil slope. The terrain is relatively high and it is an important place for transportation between the two mountains. In order to ensure the safety of my tent,
Zhao Kuo invested the most elite heavy infantry here as a defensive force.
Not only that, he also planned to take his own troops, namely five thousand light cavalry, to practice the escape route.
Everything is done in advance. Failure to do so will result in failure.
Of course, his reasons are high-sounding.
"Generals, listen to the order and report carefully. The Qin army may sneak attack our rear, so we must be on guard." Zhao Kuo called his generals and said.
"Qin Gou still dares to sneak attack on the rear of our army. What a huge circle it has to go around, and the road is difficult to walk. It is all natural and dangerous, with steep cliffs. There are not many people who can go there. Even if their magic soldiers descend from the sky, they can't take them with them.
How much dry food? Our army is defending the city, and they are happy even if they starve to death."
"That is, when we send reinforcements to attack from behind, those Qin dogs who came will definitely never come back."
The generals in the tent were talking a lot.
Zhao Kuo, who was familiar with the terrain, knew that although the terrain of the Hundred-mile Stone Great Wall at the rear was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, there were still some paths that could be used to go around to the rear for attack. They were just narrow paths interspersed with some waterways, making it easy for the army to march.
difficulty.
But the opponent is Bai Qi, the God of Killing who can turn the impossible into possible, and the rotten into the miraculous. As an opponent against him, let alone attack and defense.
The company needs to be fully prepared to maintain its retreat.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo coughed slightly and the tent became quiet.
"Qin's dog is cunning and must be guarded against. If it goes forward and cannot be controlled, it is too weak to rush; if it retreats but cannot be pursued, it is too fast to catch up. Do you understand?" Zhao Kuo asked.
The generals shook their heads.
Zhao Kuo clapped his hands happily and said: "What we are saying is that we must take the initiative regardless of offense or defense. Our supplies are all sent from the rear. If the rear is unstable, how can the soldiers in the front fight? I have made up my mind, Feng Ting
Where is the general?"
A middle-aged man came out in response. This man was a native of Shangdang and the former prefect of Shangdang in South Korea. The King of Korea decided to cede Shangdang to Qin. Feng Ting refused and led Shangdang County to surrender to Zhao, which triggered
Battle of Changping.
"General Feng Ting is a local and is familiar with the terrain. Why don't you take your troops to help me go to Changping Pass to check the city defense and replenish the ordnance."
"As commanded."
Zhao Kuo knew that Feng Ting was a local and had a strong anti-Qin consciousness, so it was more appropriate for him to go to Changping Pass than to go himself.
Even if I die, I will never take a step forward.
"I will take my five thousand light cavalry and retainers to visit the old pass in person."
There are three ways to attack Guguan. One starts from Changping Pass, and the other starts from where Zhao Kuo is now and goes up the Xiaodongcang River. The third way is very far away. It starts from Hanoi and goes along the Xiaodongcang River.
It's a long loop around the river valley, and the road is really dangerous, and in some places there's no place to stay.
This is much safer than being on the front line.
"General, you must not do it. If you don't take command here, what if the Qin dogs attack?"
"What to do? Chop them up. If they attack Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, how can you, who are so high up, not be able to defend it? If they attack the storehouse fortress, let the heavy infantry hold it back, and the archers and infantry on Hanwang Mountain will be standing by.
Pincer attack. Be careful not to be led out of the cave by the Qin army."
Zhao Kuo pointed at the map and explained earnestly.
"Han Wangshan will select 20,000 mobile troops to support the store's ramparts and ensure the smooth flow of food roads. The rest of the troops, no matter whether the sky falls or the earth falls, without my order, even if the other side surrenders, they will not come out to accept it. They will all stay where they are.
Defend on the ground, remember, build a stronghold and fight stupidly. Whoever loses his position should not come back and commit suicide on the spot."
"Promise!" All the generals agreed.
Zhao Kuo began to enjoy the feeling of commanding and forbidding all the stars to hold the moon, but when he thought of Bai Qi opposite him, he immediately retracted his eggs.
He didn't even have the courage to face Bai Qi.
"I will go to the old customs for inspection and then come back. During this period, if someone needs to decide on military affairs, leave them all to Li Yun."
This appointment surprised the generals.
It's not that Li Yun didn't have enough qualifications. Li Yun was Lian Po's assistant general. He was loyal, honest, and extremely obedient to orders. He was one of the few Lian Po generals who showed no signs of failure after Zhao Kuo took over the military power.
But this man's father was a tutor of the Qin State, named Li Ji, and his grandfather even served as the imperial censor of the Qin State. Due to the political turmoil in the Qin State, Li Ji moved his tribe to the State of Zhao.
Because his ancestors belonged to the Qin State, Li Yun was not highly used in the army.
But after chatting with this person before, Zhao Kuo learned that this person had a young brother who was currently serving in the army in the north of Zhao State, named Li Mu.
Li Mu is not known to others, but Zhao Kuo knows that he is a fierce general of Zhao State who is as famous as Lian Po, and the number one carry of Zhao State at the end of the Warring States Period.
No matter how proficient Li Mu's brother is, he can't be more proficient than himself, and he won't put his own troops into a trap.
