Zhao Kuo obviously knew General Lian Po's plan, and was naturally happy that Lian Po paved the way for him, and then continued to enjoy General Lian Po's performance from the main seat.

But Wei Xiang Lian Po wanted to drag him into the water.

Lian Po turned his head and said emotionally to Zhao Kuo: "All the generals have been with me for many years, and they are all outstanding generals with outstanding military achievements and can fight in battle. I hope you won't abandon them because of me. I hope you will do the same, general."

Focus on military affairs, understand the situation of the people, select talents and use their abilities to defeat the Qin army and repay the favor of the king."

Before Zhao Kuo could react, Lian Po continued to show off his acting skills.

"Take good care, gentlemen, and see you in Handan!" After saying that, he turned around and left without taking away a blade of grass, leaving only the generals in the camp looking at his lonely back, with their eyes red from crying.

Damn you, you made me cry. I won’t watch the Oscars without you - Drama Queen!

I don’t know how wronged you have been!

Looking at everyone in the field, Zhao Kuo cleared his throat and said to the generals in the camp: "Old General Lian is old. In addition to the long and fruitless confrontation in the Battle of Changping, this return to Handan is also out of concern for him.

Protect."

Zhao Kuo calmed down the atmosphere slightly, and after all the generals came to their senses, they realized that this matter should be done to appease the troops, and they must not let the generals think that they would be ostracized after General Lian Po left.

Then Zhao Kuo ordered: "Where are the two generals, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi?"

"The general is here!" Sun Gu and Zhou Qi both stepped out and responded.

"General Lian Po specifically mentioned these two to me before he left, saying that they need to be reused." Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Today, Sun Gu is promoted to be the assistant general, who also holds the post of Army Sima; Zhou Qi is promoted to be the assistant general, who is in charge of the army's food and grass.

Everything."

"Yes! Thank you, General." Although the two of them already knew that they were going to be promoted, now that General Zhao Kuo said it in front of everyone, their hearts were still filled with excitement.

General! That is a high-ranking general who can single-handedly control an entire army! The dream of many soldiers! Especially Zhou Qi, who came from a poor family, almost never thought that he would become a general one day.

And as the two men were awarded the title, as expected, the hearts of the generals who were in turmoil as General Lian Po left gradually calmed down.

Zhao Kuo knew that it was time to tell them about the next step: "General Lian has returned to Handan. What we have to consider now is how to defeat the Qin army on the other side."

As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a bowl of cold water into the hot oil that had cooled down slightly, causing oil stars to splash again in an instant.

"Defeating the Qin army sounds nice. I think about it too. How to defeat it?"

"Old General Lian can only stand firm, but you want to defeat him as soon as you come. You are really arrogant!"

Faced with doubts, Zhao Kuo did not treat him with gentle words. After all, "beating a sweet date with a stick" is the best way for a superior. Zhao Kuo looked around with a cold face and said slowly: "Mr. Lian.

Is this what the general taught you? Have you forgotten all the seventeen taboos and fifty-four beheadings?"

The generals were startled, and then they realized that this was a military meeting. The commander-in-chief was speaking just now. If he used his arrogant words to accuse the army or slandered the army, he would be punished with a knife! (Seventeen Forbidden Parts 4)

: If you complain too much, you will make your master angry

If a general refuses to obey the restraints and is even more difficult to control, this is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded. Eight of the seventeen prohibitions: having a sharp tongue, arrogantly doing right and wrong, and motivating the soldiers to make them discord. This is called slandering the army, and the offender will do so.

Kill him.) Kneel down in a hurry to receive the punishment!

"Just this once!" Zhao Kuo saw that the generals were already in awe, so he did not pursue further.

"Three years of confrontation have wasted money and food. Our army has the advantage of cavalry, but cannot use it. This is the biggest shortcoming of our army. When we come here, the tactics are just one word - attack!"

"Report to General: In the three years of confrontation, our armies initially attacked each other, then the Qin soldiers attacked while our army defended, and now our army wants to defend but cannot cope with it. If we rashly switch from defense to attack, it may be difficult to accomplish anything.

Once the offensive fails, it will be difficult to protect the Danshui defense line, so please think again, general." Although a general was still frightened, he responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"If you have this idea, the Qin army must also have the same idea. If they turn from defense to attack, the Qin army will not have time to react, so we can catch them off guard. This is a strategy to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared. It is one of the chances of winning!" Obviously for such a benign attitude!

Zhao Kuo was willing to explain a few things during the discussion.

"Attack is what our cavalry is good at, defense is not what our cavalry is good at, and the Qin army's three years of attacks have made them forget how to defend. They abandon the shortcomings of our army and use the strengths of our army. The strengths of our army

To attack the enemy's shortcomings, this is the strategy of knowing yourself and the enemy and winning every battle, which is the second chance of winning." Zhao Kuo continued to explain.

Listening to Zhao Kuo's explanation, everyone nodded. It seemed that there was some truth in it, but they felt that something was wrong, but they just couldn't explain it!

Seeing how everyone went from being strongly opposed to being thoughtful, to now being gradually convinced, Zhao Kuo was obviously very satisfied: Talking on paper is our specialty. In the past thousand years, no one dared to talk about being first when we were second.

.In the war of words, really, we have never lost!

However, this seemingly self-consistent logic and full chance of victory has a fatal premise - the Qin army on the other side knows nothing about our army's deployment!

However, in fact, the Qin army on the other side not only knew that Zhao Jun would definitely switch from defense to offense, but was also fully prepared for Zhao Jun's possible attack. Each trap was waiting for Zhao Jun to dig into it!

Of course, it is impossible for others to know these things, and it is impossible for Zhao Kuo not to know them. However, it is obvious that Zhao Kuo is not prepared to inform the people present about these things.

"Pass this general's order!" Seeing that the effect of establishing authority had been achieved, Zhao Kuo immediately began to issue his own order.

"Yes!" All the generals present responded in unison.

"General Zhou Qi." Zhao Kuo took the lead and said.

"The general will be here!" Zhou Qi immediately left his shift and promised.

"I order you to station yourself in Daliang Mountain, and quickly transfer grain from Daliang Mountain to the Hanwang Mountain Camp. Within one day, you must deliver ten days' worth of food to the army!" Zhao Kuo stood up and pulled out a token from the desk.

.

After hearing this general's order, the expressions of everyone present changed, and they had a bad premonition - isn't this an overt rise and a covert fall?

Everyone knows that Zhou Qi is good at attacking, and he is about to switch from defense to offense. At this time, a strong general like Zhou Qi, who is good at attacking, is asked to go to Daliang Mountain to guard grain and grass? Isn't this a mess?

Of course Zhou Qi knew that the reason why Zhao Kuo sent him to Daliang Mountain was not to ascend openly or secretly, but to use him in a big way, and to pave the way for the subsequent counterattack by Tibetan troops. But on the surface, Zhou Qi had to pretend

It seems difficult.

Several generals present were about to say something for Zhou Qi, but after hearing the order, Zhou Qi's face changed, but his steps stopped. He walked straight towards the desk, took the order with both hands, and said

: "As you command!"
