The first thousand one hundred and thirty-six chapters
Although his face looked slightly haggard, it exuded a different kind of brilliance at this moment, his eyes burst out with endless hope, and he bowed to the road in front of him with great courtesy and dignity.
As for the candidate to be the commander-in-chief of Yan State's army, Taifu recommended this person to him. Yan Dan thought about it for a long time and felt that he was an excellent choice.
Among the current military forces of the Yan State, there are almost no generals who can be called famous or even have meritorious service in battles. In addition, in the process of eliminating Wang Shu, Yan Chunjun, he also eliminated many people in the army.
So much so that in the entire Yan State, there really was no suitable candidate.
Han Shen is one of them. If he is still alive, he must be allowed to command the army. He studied under Gongsun Yu, the veteran general of the Wei Dynasty. He admired his literary, Tao and martial arts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to convince those in the army in the temple.
.
Now, when I think about it, I can only feel the waves on the road.
He is the leader of the Mohist sect and a giant of the Mohist family. He has great appeal to hundreds of schools of thought. At this juncture, with the help of hundreds of schools of thought, it is a quite huge force.
Secondly, this person stayed in the Jixia Academy of Qi for a long time, and his reputation was not weak. According to legend, he once discussed the Tao with military strategists and did not fall behind in the slightest. During the earthquake in Longxi, he also commanded an army of 200,000.
Later, although they were defeated by Qin's army in the western border area of Longxi, the barbarians were in fact seeking their own destruction unless their military strategy was sufficient.
In this way..., Luzhenlang is quite suitable.
"This... I have limited knowledge, how can I take on such a big responsibility!"
In an instant, Lu Zhenlang's mind was shaken. Although he had vaguely guessed something before, he still never expected that His Highness the Prince actually wanted to be the commander-in-chief of the army.
Lead the troops of Yan State to fight against Qin State!
That vast scene flashed directly into the depths of my mind. Thousands of armies, fighting and fighting, iron-blooded spears, all in the Xia Dynasty, I had indeed longed for it.
But he thought he was not truly the top general of Zhuxia.
His Royal Highness, putting all the troops and horses of the Yan State on himself, is tantamount to putting the future of the entire Yan State on himself. He... carries Qingtian on his back and feels hurt.
"Sir, Yan State has no generals."
"Sir, if you don't want to accept each other, why don't you want to abandon the country of Yan?"
Hearing this, Yan Dan's expression of great hope was reflected on his face. He shook his head vigorously and bowed deeply again. He looked at Lu Zhenlang in front of him. He was a man who knew and used soldiers.
sufficient.
As expected, Lu Zhenlang refused to accept it, and the situation was tense. Who should he look for?
Among the hundreds of families, I don't know many people, and there are even fewer people I can trust. Lu Zhenlang is the most suitable person.
"The road is full of fear."
"Sure enough, I have decided to abandon the Yan Kingdom. How can I be summoned by Your Highness to return to Jicheng immediately?"
"Your Highness's words are really too serious. The entire country's military strength falls on you. How can you not be frightened?"
Lu Zhenlang raised his head slightly, his face was covered by his cloak, and nothing was revealed. He quickly returned the gift with a hint of a wry smile. His Highness's move showed great importance to him.
I am very grateful.
But... because of this, Lu Zhenlang consciously couldn't respond so hastily.
"Master, how is the Qin army doing?"
Prince Dan shook his head again, with the etiquette still there, and turned his gaze slightly to fall on Ju Wu beside him.
"It is already approaching gradually. In the near future, it will attack Wuyang, and then move to Yannan, threatening Shanggu, and the Jicheng area of Yuyang. It will be difficult for the defenders on the Wuyang side to compete."
"If we want to compete with the Qin State, the only way to do it is in the southern region of Yan. Wang Jian's army of more than 200,000 people joins Meng Tian's army of 100,000 people. They are so fierce that they can be compared to tigers and wolves."
"Within half a month, there will be blood and iron!"
Ju Wu's expression was extremely solemn, he made a note, came forward and bowed, and explained the imminent situation.
"Meng Tian from Jiuyuan Camp?"
"Where is the containment mentioned by the Huns?"
Lu Zhenlang let out a soft cry, and Meng Tian from the Jiuyuan camp sent troops to a place in the clouds. He had known about it before, and now they gathered at Wang Jian's place, preparing to fight against Yan together.
But no one knew that it was indeed the case. The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu string control men in the Northern Hu Dynasty were not a mere fiction.
"According to our thinking, Jiuyuan Mengtian's troops will not attack the Yan Kingdom together with Wang Jian, but will only block them in the northwest. The reason for joining them now is for better deployment."
Ju Wu spoke slowly and told what happened during the time when Lu Zhenlang and others went to Bu Xian Mountain outside the Great Wall. Everything in the Qin State was ready.
"How powerful is Can Zhao?"
Lu Zhenlang asked again.
"The 100,000 soldiers who came out were combined with the 300,000 soldiers recruited by the Yan State to support the Qin army. In addition, there were 50,000 soldiers from the Donghu tribe."
"The Xiongnu's 100,000 troops marched south, and Meng Tian's 100,000 troops could not allocate their energy. Our side has more than 400,000 troops, which gives us a sufficient advantage in terms of military strength."
Ju Wu responded quickly.
"Combining the power of the Xiongnu, Donghu, remnant Zhao, and the Yan State, the military strength is five to six hundred thousand, which is the highest in decades."
Lu Zhenlang sighed, the strength of the four directions plus the Qin State had a million troops. In the past hundred years, the only one that could compare with this was the Battle of Changping.
However... at this time, Qin's military strength and national strength were even greater than those of Changping, and how did the strength of the four directions compare to that of Zhao in the past?
He had not stayed in the Yan State for a short time, and had also traveled to the Zhao State. Lu Zhenlang felt that he had a very good understanding of the military systems of the two countries. If the Yan State's 300,000 troops were equal to the 100,000 soldiers sent by the Zhao State.
Then, this battle can definitely suppress the Qin State, and even defeat the Qin State.
Although Zhao Zhao's power is incomplete, it can be seen that it was able to compete with Wang Jian for so long that Qin general Wang Jian did not dare to act rashly.
The army of Canzhao, which came out of Daidi, only had one hundred thousand soldiers. Lu Zhenlang thought that the fighting strength was still there.
Although the origin of the 300,000 troops under the command of the Yan State is unknown, their self-consciousness is worrying. The Yan State has no tradition of strong military strength, otherwise it would not have prospered for a moment in the eight hundred years, only during the reign of King Zhao.
It was during those years that Le Yi reformed military law and developed a cavalry army with Liaodong heavy armored cavalry as the main force. It was this majestic force that spread the power of King Zhao throughout the Xia.
Unfortunately, after the three generations of King Hui, King Wu Cheng and King Xi of Yan State for decades, that heroic vision may no longer exist, otherwise it would not have appeared when it was at war with Zhao State for decades.
Looking at the achievements of the Yan State over the past decades, there is really no one that can be used. There is not a single victory against the Zhao State. The huge wealth that the Yan State gained from defeating Qi is not enough to support the current prosperity of the Yan State.
A few years ago, when I was still in the Jixia Academy of Qi State, I judged the other countries. Yan State was among the list. Its soldiers were disadvantageous to Zhao and many of them were disabled. Yan State was in a corner and many of its troops were old and weak.
For decades, the military has been ineffective, the government has very few goods, weapons and armor are in poor condition, and the morale of the army is not at its peak. This military strength is not even comparable to that of Zhao's army.
I'm afraid it's hard to compare with Qi's army which had no record more than thirty years ago, but Qin's Lantian army of hundreds of thousands was a new army trained by General Wang Jian for several years.
It had just experienced the baptism of the war to conquer the Zhao Kingdom.
Thinking of this, I feel increasingly helpless.
"Sir, with such a military strength that surpasses the Qin State, coupled with your strategic planning and the combined efforts of all parties, it is not necessarily impossible to defeat the Qin Dynasty?"
The Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, with unparalleled iron and blood. The military merits are high, and the people are brave in public combat. This is undeniable. Yan Dan also admits that with the same military strength, the Yan State is no match for the Qin State.
But...what is lacking in military strength now is made up for by numbers, which should be enough for a battle.
"The strength of the four parties should be dispatched by a commander-in-chief!"
"How about Can Zhao?"
Although the Yan State has a large number of troops, it divides the power of the four parties. As expected, if the four parties act independently, it is like a fist, the power is dispersed, and it is impossible to exert real advantages.
Lu Zhenlang did not directly respond to Yan Dan's question and asked further.
"Can Zhao sent out a man named Zhao Ping, whose reputation is not obvious."
"What you said is true. The forces of the four directions should be commanded by one person and they can gather all their strength. Zhao Jia has also sent people here. If so, the troops sent by Yan State will be able to defeat Zhao Ping."
"Then the soldiers of the State of Zhao will obey the orders of the State of Yan."
Yan Dan was overjoyed. Hearing Lu Zhenlang's words, he sensed something. He clapped his hands slightly and quickly said the message about Can Zhao. Zhao Ping had also collected a lot of information in the past few days.
He is not a famous general in the Xia Dynasty, let alone compared with Lian Po, Li Mu and others, but with the talent of Lu Zhenlang, he can be said to be defeated.
"Does Zhao Wangjia really have such intentions?"
The road pillow is filled with strange waves.
For decades, the State of Yan has been attacking the State of Zhao. The two countries are hostile to each other, and the soldiers of the State of Zhao have always looked down on the soldiers of the State of Yan. After all, the State of Yan has always lost.
With the power of one hundred thousand remaining Zhao, they probably found the last remaining elite power.
Is Zhao Jia really so relieved?
"Sir, Can Zhao and Yan are closely connected, and they depend on each other for life and death."
Yan Dan smiled lightly, the sound mixed with silent sadness.
"As expected, Lu Zhenlang... is willing to be driven by His Highness."
I let out a long sigh, but the situation is like this.
If we had known today, why would the Yan State need to attack Zhao?
What are the benefits of attacking Zhao?
Instead of attacking Zhao, why not help Zhao?
The existence of Zhao State is the biggest barrier for Yan State. Zhao State will never be destroyed and Yan State has always been in absolute stability. Unfortunately, Yan State has been attacking Zhao State for decades.
It is said in the royal family that the country of Yan is not ashamed of the thieves of the country of the Three Jin Dynasties!
And what about these days?
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the past. Looking at Yan Dan, whose eyes are still shining with the light of dreams, Lu Zhenlang's spiritual sense merges with heaven and earth, feeling the desolate atmosphere in Jicheng at this moment.
