As soon as Zhao Jin entered the city gate, Qi Jiahan came towards him, apparently waiting for him here.
A big hand like a cattail leaf fan patted Zhao Jin's shoulder hard. Qi Jiahan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, "Now, I want to see if General Wan Yanbai still dares to attack Mucheng at will!"
Although this battle did not severely damage Lilong's army, it was the most tragic defeat since Lilong's troops were launched.
Everyone in the Zhao army let out a bad breath, and they also had a little more respect from the inside out for Zhao Jin who proposed this method.
It is no longer just for the false title of Duke Xuanping, but because of the person Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the situation on the battlefield, "It was possible to achieve such an effect because of Wan Yanbai's cautious temperament."
Zhao Jin really didn't expect those two waves of operations at the beginning.
Zhao Jin shook his head and said to Qi Jiahan: "Go to the military camp."
The two walked side by side towards the military camp.
Although they won the Long Kingdom in this battle, they all knew that the subsequent war would not be easy either.
And this strategy can be used for the first time, but cannot be used for the second time.
Zhao Jin held his helmet with one hand, a cunning look flashed in his starry eyes.
It doesn't matter, he has plenty of ideas.
The establishment of the Long Kingdom wanted to unite with Zhao Xingyu internally and externally, and then annex the sixteen states in the north?
Absolutely impossible.
Zhao Jin did not go back to his tent, but followed Qi Jiahan and ducked into Qi Jiahan's tent.
After entering the camp, Zhao Jing just raised his head and heard Qi Jiahan's voice, "Although this strategy cannot be used a second time, at least the usefulness of the explosives has been brought out now."
Qi Jiahan sighed.
Previously, due to Li Long's targeting, the role of explosives was limited. Now that Wan Yanbai had no way to deal with the explosives, he would never take the risk of attacking the city.
With the layer of security provided by explosives, there is also an additional layer of security at the border.
"We can't wait passively for the army of Li Long to come."
Zhao Jin frowned and asked a very practical question, "Although if the two sides are in a stalemate, the Long Kingdom may not be able to hold on, but we can't either."
Qi Jiahan, who was standing by the table, moved his fingers slightly, and there was a hint of bitterness in his mouth. What Zhao Jin said was true.
Zhao Jin looked at Qi Jiahan and continued: "There is still a rebellion by the eldest prince in Zhao State, and General Ma Yan and others suppressed it, but they have not been able to suppress it."
"Although the eldest prince's attack is slow, he is still annexing cities one after another."
"Moreover," Zhao Jin's voice paused, "Zhao State may not have as many resources as Lilong State."
When Li Long's army was transporting grain, the supply line was long, but Zhao might not have enough food at all.
Because the Zhao State had to support two armies with food, the cost of food was greater than that of the Long State. Moreover, the Zhao State had suffered many natural and man-made disasters in recent years, which had already caused considerable damage.
As Zhao Jin said these words, a deathly silence filled the camp.
Qi Jiahan put one hand on the desk and the other behind his back.
Zhao Jin also didn't say anything, he was waiting for Qi Jiahan to make up his mind.
Time is running out and they can't delay any longer.
Fighting on both sides is too reluctant for Zhao State, so now the only way is to resolve one side as soon as possible.
Zhao Jin was more inclined to solve the problem and establish the Long Kingdom first.
After all, Zhao Xingyu is the eldest prince of the Zhao Kingdom. Although he is under the banner of Qingjun, he cannot conceal the fact of rebellion. In order to strengthen himself and win more help.
Before taking Bianzhou City, Zhao Xingyu would find ways to win over the people and gain more support.
But it would not be possible to establish the Long State. Once the Long State invades, the people of the Zhao State will face a disaster.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds.
This is not true, but it is not entirely wrong either.
At least, in Chinese history, there have been too many incidents of foreign invasions and wanton slaughter of the Central Plains.
The State of Zhao upheld benevolence and righteousness, but the founding of the State of Long was based on military force.
Countries that believe in the strong usually do not give preferential treatment to the weak.
Zhao Jin did not hope that the scene he had seen in textbooks and history would actually happen before his eyes.
"Okay, let's repel the Lilong Kingdom with all our strength first."
Qi Jiahan closed his eyes and finally made up his mind.
The Zhao army and the Lilong army originally numbered 500,000 people.
The combat effectiveness of the armies of the two countries was evenly matched. Zhao Jin improved the smelting method of steel. In terms of weapons, Zhao had an advantage.
But now, because of the previous defeat, Li Long had an even greater numerical advantage.
In any case, the gap between the two sides is not big. If the battle is to be fought quickly, the war will undoubtedly be very tragic.
These 500,000 troops will also suffer heavy losses.
Zhao Jin slowly exhaled and said with relief: "General Qi, things are not that bad. At least the soldiers do not need to sacrifice their lives for their lives."
Zhao Jin's relief did not dispel the haze in Qi Jiahan's heart at all.
The country of Zhao is in a precarious situation, and he chose a step that is beneficial to the current situation of the country of Zhao, but it does not mean that his heart will not bleed.
These are all his subordinates, heroes of the Zhao Kingdom, but...
"General Qi!" Zhao Jin raised his voice and looked at Qi Jiahan who was in a state of confusion with some concern.
If the other party is allowed to think about it any longer, this may become a hurdle that Qi Jiahan will never be able to overcome.
Seeing that Qi Jiahan's mind had been restored, Zhao Jin quickly raised his voice and continued: "General Qi, the matter has not reached such a bad stage."
"Now our military strength is not much different from that of Lilong State, but we can weaken Lilong State first."
Qi Jiahan finally had some reaction and turned his head to look at Zhao Jin, "What can Duke Xuanping do?"
Zhao Jin grinned, "What if the Long Kingdom army has never been able to have a good rest?"
"Without being able to rest, they continued to burn food and grass, and harassed them from time to time, which kept the Li Long army in a tense state."
"General Qi," Zhao Jin said carefully: "If the strings in a person's mind are tightened for a long time, they will break."
"No matter how powerful Wan Yanbai is, when emotions erode reason and the string is tightened for a long time, decision-making errors will occur."
"On the battlefield, a commander's wrong decision-making can ruin an entire army."
Qi Jiahan's eyes became brighter and brighter, "We can use explosives to continuously disrupt the Lilong Army and prevent them from resting."
"good."
Zhao Jin added: "Although it is no longer feasible for the army to directly disrupt Lilong's formation like today, it is still possible to harass them on weekdays."
The two of them stayed in the camp for half an hour, and no one knew what they discussed.
All I know is that Zhao Jin and Qi Jiahan looked much more relaxed after they came out.
"You ask everyone except the soldiers on duty tonight to plug their ears with something."
The general who heard Zhao Jin's order was a little confused and could only respond: "Yes."
As the night grew darker, a trebuchet appeared on the tower of the Forbidden City.
