The Battle of Changping Chapter 017

The red wave washed away the black city wall over and over again, creating a layer of red blood and a layer of black mud.

Red and black broke out in the narrow strip of land on the west bank of Danshui. Suddenly, a bright red burst out from nowhere, and suddenly rushed towards the black Qin army.

Immediately afterwards, another burst of red burst out from nowhere...

Where did the army come from?

Seeing the sudden change on the sand table, Lian Po and Tian Dan looked at each other. If Zhao Jun had already had these troops, why would he have thought of so many ways and just rushed over?

Obviously, this is not our own Zhao Jun!

Without waiting for the two to ask, Zhao Kuo laid out his plan.

"Can it be done?" Lian Po was obviously hesitant. This was actually the first time he had done this kind of thing! He was not sure at all, especially since he was hiding it from the inside, which made Lian Po even more unsure.

Even Tian Dan, who had almost no need to participate, was in a dilemma. It was not that he was unsure of Zhao Kuo's unbridled ideas. On the contrary, he believed that based on Zhao Kuo's method, there was at least a 70% chance of success.

However, his experience of having "outrageous achievements" told him: if he acts like this, even if he wins, he will not get any good results.

Faced with the uneasiness and distrust of his two teammates, Zhao Kuo had already expected it. He smiled slightly and said, "I am the general in charge of this battle, and all the blame lies with me."

After saying that, he continued to add: "If you want to benefit the country, you will live and die, how can you avoid it because of good fortune and misfortune?"

Zhao Kuo's voice was not loud, but it struck the hearts of the two old generals as hard as a bell.

This short sentence evoked endless memories of the two generals.

"If you only care about the country's life and death, how can you avoid it because of blessings and misfortunes?"

Isn't this his original intention of joining the army? In a trance, Tian Dan seemed to have returned to the days when he defended Jimo City, and Lian Po also seemed to have returned to his youth when he was galloping in the northern Xinjiang and harvesting the heads of barbarians wantonly!

I must have been so pure at that time, my chest was filled with the desire to kill the enemy and serve the country, and there was no room for any trace of selfish haze;

How happy I must have been at that time, learning the art of civil and military warfare, and repaying my father's hometown;

Since when did I become timid, forget all these things, and actually put my own gains and losses before the country and the nation?

Is it from the time when the King of Qi was jealous of talents and could constantly squeeze himself out?

Is it still from the time when the King of Qi sold himself to the State of Zhao for fifteen cities?

Or did it start from the moment when he was forced to leave the Zhao Kingdom Center?



As I thought about it, my eyes felt a little moist. Unknowingly, the two pairs of thick calloused hands of the elders firmly grasped the still slightly immature "little hand".

"I am willing to follow the general, even if I die for a long time, I will not regret it!"

Zhao Kuo's double walls obviously didn't want to let Zhao Kuo, this younger boy, excel in beauty. They stretched out their hands to surround Zhao Kuo's little hand, and made a solemn promise in their mouths.

In the rough palms, warmth was transmitted silently through the calluses on the fingertips. Also conveyed were the two veterans' recognition, conviction and infinite hope for Zhao Kuo. They were eager to see Zhao Jun in action.

Under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, the new general, they will move towards victory and glory. For this reason, they will be like candles, lighting the way for Zhao Kuo at the expense of themselves.

Zhao Kuo understood that from now on, as long as he completely won the Battle of Changping, and as long as he did not commit the crime of wrath and resentment, these two generals would be his solid supporters.

The three people who finally reached an agreement continued to discuss the details of the plan.

The sharp-eyed Tian Dan glanced at the Zhao army that suddenly appeared from the east bank of Danshui, and asked in confusion: "General, where did the ambush on the east bank of Danshui come from? I am long

Pingguan, why didn't the army on the front line of Guguan take any action?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "The Art of War says: use the right combination, win by surprise, and combine yin and yang. This is called the way. In this battle, many arrangements, although done secretly, are mostly planned by the outside world.

This move can be said to be the right path, but this move is a complete conspiracy and a miracle of victory."

After hearing these words, the two people suddenly became more and more interested. The plan just now was already beyond the authority of a general. Now there is an even more spectacular plan. The two people's probing eyes immediately locked on Zhao Kuo.

"If our army is surrounded by the Qin army as imagined ahead, even if the Wei army finally comes to rescue, how many tens of thousands of troops can be rescued? What's more, if the Wei army overestimates its own capabilities and attempts to rescue our army after it is destroyed,

If we take action against the Qin army, I am afraid that with the Wei army's weak combat power, it is not impossible for the Qin army to be defeated again." Zhao Kuo pointed to the territory of Wei and said disdainfully.

It's not that Zhao Kuo looks down on the State of Wei, it's actually that the State of Wei today is terribly weak.

Wei Wuzu, who was originally claimed to be invincible, was driven to pieces under the many tricks of the King of Wei, and even his coach Wu Qi defected to other countries.

Finally, a capable general Pang Juan arrived, but due to the troubles caused by Prince Shen and Young Master Yanlian, he was defeated first at Guiling and then at Maling, and finally ended up dead.

Immediately afterwards, Young Master Yan, who felt uncomfortable if he did not do anything, sent the veteran general Long Jia to death in one fell swoop in the Battle of Hexi, and even blamed the defeat on the veteran general Long Jia. After this battle, the vast Hexi

The land was no longer owned by the Wei State, which caused the Wei State's national power to drop significantly, and it could no longer afford the training and rewards of Wei's soldiers.

This battle also became the battle for the rise of Qin, a small country on the western frontier.

Later, the arrogant Wei army was defeated first in Hedong and then in Hanoi. The arrogant Wei army was defeated by the Qin army. It can be said that the Qin people rose up on the bones of the Wei people.

In the end, in the Battle of Yique, Tu Baiqi completely defeated the Wei State, and almost all of the last Wei soldiers were killed there.

Since then, the Wei State has almost never returned to the center of the stage where the Seven Heroes compete for hegemony. It has completely changed from the historical protagonist after the three dynasties were divided into Jin Dynasty, and was reduced to a supporting role in providing talents for the Qin State.

Of course, the Wei State did not remain silent. It was like returning to the light. In 247 BC after the Battle of Changping, when the Qin State attacked Wei, Wei Wuji led the divisions of the five countries to defeat the Qin Army south of the Yellow River.

General Meng Ao of the Qin State was defeated and fled, and took advantage of the victory to attack outside the Hangu Pass of the Qin State.

It's a pity that Hangu was blocked in the end...

It can be seen from this that Wei Guo's family wealth is good, but the strength he may display is really not guaranteed. It is not surprising that Zhao Kuo wants to keep a hand.

Of course, the ultimate reason is that Zhao Kuo wants to preserve the vitality of Zhao State and the possibility of future hegemony - "If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land; if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land." Zhao Kuo obviously

It needs to be understood more thoroughly than the ancients.
