Chapter 127 Cut, cut, cut, cut! (Leave a few points for the alliance leader
After Zhao Dan made his decision, the hall was filled with emotions for a moment.
Under the leadership of the two ministers, Yu Xin and Lou Chang, the ministers of Zhao State jumped out and expressed their opposition to Zhao Dan's plan to personally expedition.
Even Zhao Bao, who had just been beaten by Zhao Dan, didn't care about being shameless, and he also expressed his opposition clearly.
This is a war!
You should know that the war in the Warring States Period is different from the Spring and Autumn Period.
The war in the Spring and Autumn Period is actually very interesting, which is the so-called "war between gentlemen".
Generally speaking, wars broke out on the borders in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Because the border line is also called "frontier", the battlefield can also be called "frontier".
Because the border is in "wild", the war that breaks out on the border is also called "field war".
Although it is called field battle, this field battle is not barbaric at all, but it exudes a civilized meaning everywhere.
This is a war that talks about civilization, etiquette, and rules.
How to follow the rules of civilized etiquette?
The most famous one is that the two countries are fighting troops without killing them.
It was a very easy job to be an envoy to declare war in the Spring and Autumn Period. The envoys would swagger into the enemy's barracks, then respectfully submit the letter of war to the enemy's commander, and then be politely sent out, making it seem like they were traveling to a good friend's house.
The most famous person who talks about etiquette is Duke Xiang of Song, who is considered one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period in a certain version.
Duke Xiang of Song once said in the Battle of Hong: "A gentleman is not seriously injured, does not bird two hairs, does not block the enemy, and does not form a row without drums."
Not seriously injured, it means that if someone in the enemy is injured during the battle, then don’t let him be injured repeatedly.
If you don’t want to capture white-haired enemy soldiers.
If you don’t use a barrier, you don’t snipe and ambush the enemy in a dangerous and narrow place.
If you don’t have a drum or a row, it means that you should not beat the drum to launch an attack before the enemy completes the queue.
Duke Xiang of Song perfectly abides by these etiquettes and did not attack them halfway while the Chu army crossed the river.
Then the Song army of Duke Xiang of Song was tied up by the Chu army that had been sorted out across the river.
After this great defeat, the State of Song had no relationship with dominance, and it lost the best way to become a first-class power in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was the only chance.
Not only Duke Xiang of Song, but also other gentlemen who abide by the rules, probably ended up like this.
As the saying goes, the teacher learns from the past, so everyone later thought that it is better not to be so gentleman in this war. It is better to be a little despicable. It may be better to be a little villain.
When everyone turned from gentlemen to villains, the Warring States Period came, and the barbaric and cruel war of annexation came.
In the wars in the Warring States Period, there was no such a lot of nonsense and rules. How could we win? From this time on, war became a typical "villain war".
Declare war beforehand? It does not exist. What we want is the suddenness and concealment of undeclared war.
If you don’t kill me, it doesn’t exist. As an envoy, you have to be careful when you come to my territory, otherwise I will chop your head in minutes and then send your head back. This is also a gift messenger.
As for things like not seriously injuring or blocking the enemy, if you talk to the generals who lead the troops in this era, then the generals should give you a look of caring for children with mental retardation.
Especially after Bai Qi was born, the entire War in the Warring States Period was completely pushed to an astonishing level by Bai Qi. Military strategists and generals from all countries realized the importance of killing and destroying the enemy's vitality, and the war became more cruel and bloody.
It is precisely because of this that the closer it is to the war in the late Warring States Period, the larger its scale, and the number of people killed in both sides of the war was also rising record-breakingly.
Moreover, this danger is not limited to the soldiers who rushed to the front line, but even the chief generals who led their troops to the battle are at risk of dying on the battlefield.
For example, in the past 20 or 30 years, the head coaches who died on the battlefield include Gongsun Xi, the famous Wei general of the State in the Battle of Yique, Hu Yang, the head coach of the Qin State in the Battle of Yan, and the head coach of the Yan army in the Battle of Jimo, etc. Many of them were once famous figures.
If Zhao Dan goes to the battle in person now, if there is anything wrong with him...
You should know that Zhao Dan’s children are not adults now, so would they become the young master of the country?
The whole story is a story of the demise of the country.
So at this moment, no matter what kind of public clan sect or common sect, the ministers of Zhao State obtained an extremely neat unified opinion at this moment, that is, they must not let the king take risks and engage in personal expeditions!
However, in the face of this tide of opposition, Zhao Dan's expression did not change at all, and he still looked very firm.
Since receiving the urgent report from the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan has very clear about what he is going to face.
Since a hole in the Zhao army's defense has been torn apart, it is only a matter of time before Bai Qi can break through the Zhao army's defense line in full with Bai Qi's ability.
Maybe at this moment, a large number of Qin troops had already entered the North Shangdang Party from Changping Pass.
The sign of failure has appeared. Lian Po needs reinforcements, and Zhao's 450,000 need reinforcements!
It's urgent!
And it is not just reinforcements, the Zhao army on the front line needs confidence and a strong message to restore morale to the Zhao army soldiers.
As the monarch, Zhao Dan personally fought for the army, which was the best way Zhao Dan could think of to inspire morale.
In any case, Zhao Dan could not allow a big defeat like in history in Changping.
Once all the 450,000 sons are destroyed by Changping, no matter how Zhao Dan possesses the wisdom of a time traveler, he will not be able to change the damn trend of the world.
Without chips, what's the use of even if you know what the opponent's next card is?
If you lose all, you are not even qualified to go to the gambling table!
Zhao Dan must keep the 450,000 Zhao Guoerlang and the most important bargaining chip in Zhao Dan's hands.
Even if you may lose more for this, you will be willing to do anything.
As he thought about it, Zhao Dan's eyes gradually turned cold. The constant dissuasion of the Zhao ministers in front of him suddenly seemed to be extremely harsh in Zhao Dan's ears as loud as the noise of a sparrow.
Zhao Dan took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and slapped heavily at the table in front of him.
"Bang!"
A loud noise rang throughout the hall, and instantly suppressed all the sounds.
The ministers who were chattering just now closed their mouths in horror. The hall was so quiet that it was harsh that the needle could be heard.
Zhao Dan spoke slowly, with a stern tone.
"The Battle of Changping is a battle of national destiny. If Zhao wins, hegemony is expected. If Zhao loses, Zhao will be destroyed, and I will die without any ground! At this time of crisis, you do not think about how to serve the country, but instead look forward to the front and back, which is simply foolish! This is the way for your ministers!"
Zhao Dan's voice was like thunder half stirring back and forth in the hall, hitting the hearts of every minister heavily.
"Now my country is in a dangerous place. Since I am the king, how can I sit in the palace and watch my Zhao man sacrifice bloodshed? I have decided on this matter. I am summoning you to tell you this order, not to seek your opinions!"
Zhao Dan's eyes were cold and he looked at the faces of the ministers in the hall one by one.
Everyone's heads were lowered at the same time, and no minister dared to look at Zhao Dan's eyes.
There is silence in the hall.
Zhao Dan snorted and stood up: "Shut up? That guy is going to continue talking."
"During my personal expedition, all major military affairs were decided by Zhao Bao, Yu Xin and Lou Chang. After the Lord of Pingyuan returns to Handan, the matter will be decided by Pingyuan. If I die in Shangdang, the Prince Heng will succeed to the throne and the Queen can be regent!"
"When I personally fought, the four cities of Handan, Zhongmu, Jinyang, and Lingshou were all ordered to be punished. Those who violated the orders should be punished! Those who gathered rebels should be punished! Those who concealed their household registration and did not want to serve the country should be punished! Those who have suspected of having an affair with the enemy country should be punished! If any Sikou and the supervisory guards are aware of the above, they can be punished first and then reported to the doctors. All the doctors and above can be arrested before they can be punished when they return to the army!"
Zhao Dan issued a series of murderous orders in one breath, and then raised his voice slightly: "Do you understand my life?"
As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, the ministers in the hall bowed in an instant, and their voice was extremely respectful: "One!"
"Very good." Zhao Dan nodded: "Since that's the case, we will end the meeting!"
Chapter completed!
