Longtai side hall.

As the king of a country, Zhao Dan's treatment is still very good.

This place is called Partian Palace, but it is actually the study where Zhao Dan works on weekdays.

In the center of the room was a case of gold, silver, bronze, dragon, phoenix and deer heads that were exactly the same as in Zhao Dan's bedroom. There were many bamboo slips and silk books on the desk, all of which were just moved by the eunuch, Order Miao Xian, from the bedroom.

There is also a small pottery incense burner with exquisite style, which is probably larger than an adult man's fist. The outside is painted black, the middle part is hollowed out, but there is a red dragon on the top. At first glance, it looks like the red dragon entrenched on a black cloud, appearing vividly.

A slight fragrance emerges from the hollowed-out holes under the "black clouds" in the incense burner, giving a faint fragrance in the air of the entire side hall.

On one side of the room are also placed three rows of exquisite bronze chimes. Each row of chimes has different numbers, from left to right, like a gradually growing bar chart, each chime looks very exquisite.

Next to the chime bells are other racks, with pianos, shengs, ser and hang drums respectively, which are all musical instruments from the Warring States Period. These are all for the original Zhao Dan to entertain himself and relax in his spare time.

Apart from this, there is nothing else in the side hall.

As soon as Zhao Dan sat down, the maids of the palace brought breakfast.

Zhao Dan looked at it and felt that although tableware like Jue and Ding look weird, it was quite easy to use. There were also two meat dishes, one vegetarian dishes and one soup, forming three dishes and one soup, with a classic combination of meat and vegetarian dishes.

"But the fishy smell of this dog meat is still a bit heavy, and the cooking method is not very correct." Zhao Dan used a dagger to put a piece of dog meat in the cauldron into his mouth. After chewing it for a long time, he shook his head and made a comment.

But no matter how much I say it, after a moment, all the food was swept away by Zhao Dan like a wind and clouds.

I get up early in the morning and have a meeting until noon, and anyone else will be hungry.

After finally having enough food, Zhao Dan burped with satisfaction. Suddenly, he felt that the food his ancestors ate more than two thousand years ago was not unacceptable. Although the cooking method was a little bad, there were not so many seasonings...

The eunuch Ling Miao Xian appeared in front of Zhao Dan at the right time: "King, will Zhao Kuo and Su Dai meet with each other?"

Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Let's announce Zhao Kuo first."

When Zhao Dan heard the footsteps coming from outside the hall, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Finally, I can see this cheating guy who has been famous for his "paper talk" for two thousand years!

A moment later, a young man walked into the hall with great strides and bowed to Zhao Dan to greet him.

This is Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Kuo carefully. Zhao Kuo was not old at this time, about twenty years old, not even thirty years old. He wore a sable tail cicada patterned crown on his head, a blue short-sleeved narrow jacket all over his body, a belt tied around his waist, a hook on it, and a pair of black leather boots under his feet.

Zhao Kuo's outfit is completely different from the "Chinese clothes" that other countries in the Central Plains are used to at this time, that is, the style of wide robe, large sleeves and long clothes. It is a unique "Hu clothing" that has appeared only since the reform of King Wuling of Zhao.

I have to say that Zhao Kuo is really handsome, and with this energetic and noble dress, no one can help but praise Zhao Kuo: "What a handsome and handsome man!"

Although I had a certain impression in my memory before, when Zhao Dan saw Zhao Kuo, he couldn't help but sigh.

Not to mention why so many people are blind and support Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo looks like this, and at first glance, there are four big words on his head - young and promising!

Zhao Dan waved his hand: "No need to be polite, sit down."

Zhao Kuo sat down immediately. This guy didn't know that his desire to replace Lian Po had become a vague one. His whole eyes were full of fighting spirit. He thought that his king was here to encourage him before the war.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Kuo's appearance and felt a little reluctant to attack his enthusiasm. If you don't say anything else, Zhao Kuo's loyalty to Zhao State is absolutely nothing to say. He has the ability... He can only blame him for his bad life and meets the God of War Bai Qi.

"Zhao Kuo, I have discussed with you just now. The matter of changing generals is not feasible."

Zhao Kuo was shocked when he heard this, and an incredible expression appeared on his young face. Obviously, he didn't expect such a result at all, and he was stunned.

After a long time, Zhao Kuo came to his senses and asked in an incredible tone: "I dare to ask the king why did he make this decision?"

Zhao Dan was also a little embarrassed at this time, because judging from the memory in his head, Zhao Dan, who had not traveled through time, had actually promised Zhao Kuo to change his generals, so this was actually Zhao Dan's rebellion...

But Zhao Dan really had no choice. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Kuo would definitely lose, so it was impossible for him to insist on letting him go.

Zhao Dan suddenly raised his voice: "Come on, picture above!"

As the saying goes, if you don’t have a picture, you still have a picture.

A moment later, a map painted on the silk book was placed in front of Zhao Dan's desk.

This is a terrain map of Changping battlefield.

Zhao Dan pointed to the map and said to Zhao Kuo, who was still immersed in shock: "Come on, let me deduce it with you. You are the Zhao army and the Qin army. If you are better than me, I will still regard you as a general."

Zhao Kuo, who was already a little dejected, immediately became energetic when he heard this: "The king has his own destiny, how dare I not obey?"

In Zhao Kuo's opinion, he would win this time. After all, in terms of this deduction, even Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, the largest general of Zhao State, was not Zhao Kuo's opponent, otherwise Zhao Kuo would not have been specifically described by Sima Qian as "no one in the world to deal with military affairs."

So Zhao Kuo was full of confidence and pointed out the country on the map: "If I lead the troops, I will first consolidate the army and unite the generals. After everything is complete, I will use the main force to cross the Dan River and divide into three routes to directly seize Guanglang City and the East and West City! At that time, our army will be sharp, and the Qin army will not be able to be the one!"

"Oh?" Zhao Dan smiled slightly, suddenly stretched out his finger and drew a big arc on the map. He circled a large circle from the Qin army's camp and went directly behind the Zhao army's camp: "If the Qin army pretended to be defeated and retreated when you attacked fiercely, and at the same time, a surprise soldier, with a number of about 25,000 people, and raided the Baili Stone Great Wall from the line in Kongcangling, Dan, how do you stay?"

Zhao Kuo's body was shocked and he stared at the route drawn by Zhao Dan. After a long time, he said: "The king's military use was indeed beyond my expectations. It seemed impossible, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be successful... If this is the case, the line of the Baili Stone Great Wall with the right rear wing of our army would definitely be lost. However, our army has accumulated a lot of food and grass in Daliang Mountain. Although the situation is unfavorable, it can still be supported."

"Is that right?" Zhao Dan smiled again: "If the Qin army sent a surprise attack on the Baili Stone Great Wall, then sent an army to break in from the Xiaodongcang River Valley to separate your main force from Daliang Mountain, so that your main force completely falls into the Qin army's encirclement, and neither can retreat nor obtain food and grass, what do you think?"

Zhao Kuo was shocked again when he heard this, his eyes almost protruded from his sockets, his hands clenched tightly with blue veins exposed, and his forehead was sweating like rain.

After almost half an hour, Zhao Kuo suddenly sighed and bowed his head down dejectedly: "The king is unpredictable to the gods and ghosts, Kuo is defeated."

Looking at Zhao Kuo in front of him, who was like a defeated rooster, Zhao Dan actually didn't feel much joy in his heart. After all, although Zhao Kuo was indeed a little talkative, it can be seen from this that Zhao Kuo's military theory is still very solid, and training may still be useful.

So Zhao Dan patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder and said with a gentle voice: "Failure is the mother of success, and you don't have to take this seriously. I want to appoint you as a deputy general and lead your army to Changping. General Yu Lianpo obeys the orders. Are you willing?"

Zhao Kuo immediately raised his head when he heard this, opened his mouth to say something, but finally lowered his head deeply: "My teacher, accept the order!"

Looking at Zhao Kuo's departure, Zhao Dan couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed in his heart: "Bai Qi, Bai Qi, you are indeed worthy of the name of the God of Warring States Period, the leader of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period."

When Zhao Dan and Zhao Kuo were deducing just now, they actually used tactics that actually happened in history and were personally directed by Bai Qi.

The large-scale encirclement and annihilation war and mobile warfare tactics used by Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping were still used by major generals and generals of our army in all the wars before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the Battle of Menglianggu, where Zhang Lingfu's troops were encircled and annihilated by the 74th Division, and later, the Huaihai Battle, where more than one million people participated in the battle, the founding general Su Yu used this tactic very well and reached the pinnacle. It was breathtaking and could be regarded as a masterpiece in the history of human war.

The Huaihai Battle and the Battle of Changping were two thousand years apart!

From this you can know how advanced Bai Qi’s tactical ideas were in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!

This is why people often say that the four famous generals of the Warring States Period are the only ones, and the others are the same.

It is really a lot of pressure to fight against such an opponent!

Zhao Dan took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and then issued the next order.
Chapter completed!
