The Battle of Changping Chapter 98

At this point, Lord Xinling paused for a moment, looked at Lian Po, whose face was already a little worried, and immediately continued to add: "Although he is a general, he is still young and energetic, and lacks experience. Even though he has military skills,

He has no experience in fighting a large army, so he can serve as the commander of a partial division of tens of thousands. How can he serve as the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands? If he joins the party, Zhao will be in danger."

As he spoke, Lord Xinling couldn't help but become anxious.

It’s no wonder that Lord Ling is not in a hurry. Anyone with a little sense understands how taboo it is for Zhao Guo to change generals before battle. Moreover, the one he replaces is a young guy with no hair on his head. Anyone would think that Zhao Guo——

Completely finished.

Once Zhao, the only country that can compete with Qin, is completely finished, there is no need to say who's turn will be next. Wei and Qin have both ancient feuds and geographical disputes.

, and it is the only way for the Qin State to go eastward. If he does not attack the Wei State, Lord Xinling himself will not believe it.

In just a moment, Lord Xinling understood that Wei's national policy must change. Originally, he wanted to let Qin and Zhao fight each other so that Wei could reap the benefits. But now it seems that Zhao's army is in danger.

, maybe the Qin State is still kind of harmless, which is something that the Wei State cannot accept under any circumstances!

Wanting to understand this, Lord Xinling immediately seemed to understand Lian Po Wei's intention of coming in disguise at night.

"Don't worry, Old General Lian. I will meet my king now. Chen Ming is very powerful. Then my King will send a letter to King Zhao to make sure that Old General Lian regains control of the military!" Lord Xinling promised, patting his chest.

When Lian Po heard this, he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "It's too late! After I left office, I wanted to go back to Handan to communicate with my king and try to persuade him face to face. But before I could rush back to Handan, I went to

The party's battlefield has undergone tremendous changes, making it meaningless for me to fly back to Handan."

"After thinking about it for a while, I decided to change my route and come to the Wei Kingdom. The current plan is that only the King of Wei sends troops, which may be able to save Zhao from any eventuality." Lian Po stared at Lord Xinling with a burning gaze.

The words were even more sincere.

And everything Lian Po said is basically consistent with the facts, but of course it is not the whole truth. Telling a lie with partial facts will make the lie more realistic.

Sure enough, Lord Xinling had no doubts about Lian Po's words.

"What happened on the Changping battlefield? The veteran was so disappointed! Has the barrier been breached?" Although the already attracted Lord Xinling did not immediately agree to Lian Po's request, the urgency in his words betrayed his heart.

.

Lord Xinling was eager to know what happened on the battlefield in Changping or Shangdang.

Of course, this was also expected by Lian Po and Zhao Kuo.

"After handing over to me, Zhao Kuo immediately replaced his generals without stopping. The rare cavalry generals under his command, Zhou Qi, were actually promoted and secretly sent to guard the grain. It was not a big deal to change the generals. In a few days, Zhao Kuo

Kuo then issued a bold order: The entire army crossed west, divided into three groups, and captured the Qin army's fortress on the west bank of Danshui River."

What Lian Po said is still true, but it is not the whole truth.

Zhou Qi was promoted openly and secretly, but the purpose was to hide the main force of the 100,000 Zhao army. Of course, only a few people knew about this fact, and it was impossible for Lian Po to tell Lord Xinling.

And because of Zhou Qi's history of being promoted from high to low, Zhao Kuo's next actions will appear even more "unreasonable".

"But was defeated by the Qin army?" Lord Xinling asked quickly

"If that's the case, that's great!" Lian Po smiled bitterly and continued: "If the Qin army can be defeated, even if it suffers some heavy losses, it will only lose some military strength. The main force can calmly retreat to the east bank barrier. Even if the situation is worse, Qin

If the army follows and attacks, it is nothing more than a strong man cutting off his wrists, leaving a part of the army to guard the barrier, and the main force retreating to the defense line of the Baili Stone Great Wall. As long as the main force of our army is still there, the Qin army will not be able to occupy the front line of Shangdang."

"Since they are not defeated, what happened? Is it possible that the Qin army can still annihilate Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops at the Danshui Barrier?" Lord Xinling asked with some confusion.

"According to the latest battle report: Our Zhao army raided the Qin army's west bank barrier. It took a whole day and night to seize the Qin army's entire line of barriers on the west bank of Danshui River. We killed and wounded a total of about 100,000 Qin army infantry and cavalry people, while our own army suffered less than 80,000 casualties!"

Lian Po did not hide anything, and immediately told in detail the battle situation on the Danshui front line.

"Oh?" Lord Xinling, as a die-hard person who unites Zhao against Qin, immediately became excited when he heard that the Zhao army captured the Qin army's fortress and killed more than 100,000 Qin soldiers. Of course, the Zhao army suffered 80,000 casualties.

It should also come to light.

"Isn't this a great victory?" While he was excited, Lord Xinling thought of General Lian Po's purpose and couldn't help but raise the question again.

"Win the battle?! Mr. Xinling, if the Qin army can really be defeated with a surprise attack, how come our Zhao army has been defending on the east bank of Danshui for more than three years without daring to take a step westward? If the Qin army is so weak that the defense will suffer casualties but there will be no more attacks.

How come we, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, have repeatedly hit the wall in front of Hangu Pass?" Lian Po twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said rather disdainfully.

"this……"

Lord Xinling was suddenly speechless, and his mind started racing again.

What Lian Po said makes sense. The military discipline and combat power of the Qin army were witnessed by all the countries. Not only did they stay on guard day and night, but they would never neglect their defense.

Fortunately, by chance, Zhao Kuo, who had just taken office, was given such a big opportunity?

Even if the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo made a surprise attack, how could the dozens of miles long barrier defense line change hands so easily? Even if it changed hands, how could the entire barrier be lost after only holding on for one day and night?

Panic, stalemate, and counterattack, this is how the Qin army should react? As for the Qin army's barrier on the west bank of Danshui, it must last for three to five days!

Seeing that Lord Xinling was falling into doubt, Lian Po immediately continued his analysis: "What's even more terrible is that after our army captured the barrier, we only took a short rest before continuing to advance westward, aiming directly at Guanglang City!"

"Old General Lian, how did you judge?" Lord Xinling obviously believed Lian Po's statement that the Zhao army was in danger.

He didn't know Zhao Kuo very well, but he did a lot of research on the Qin State, his old rival and enemy - in the Qin State, losing land was like losing a life, and the Qin army didn't think about how to regain it, but lost the barrier.

Let Zhao Jun march straight in to Light Wolf City?

How abnormal!

"I judge that this is the Qin army's strategy to lure the enemy." Lian Po said with certainty: "The Qin army's intention is to lure our entire army across the Dan River from Guanglang City and Shangdang.

Attack Guanglang City with all our strength, then divide our troops to cut off our army's rear route, thus trapping our main army and the west bank of Danshui River."
