Da Qin and Zhao have been at odds for several months now. Especially during Da Qin's expedition, the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops has been astronomical.
Regarding this, Yang Duanhe knew it well, and Zhao Shu also knew that Da Qin could no longer withstand the consumption like the Battle of Changping.
This time, Da Qin wanted to destroy not only Zhao, but all countries except Da Qin. This meant that the war must not develop into a protracted confrontation.
However, Zhao State is not weak.
Even though Zhao's court was dim, traitors were in power, and there were many cowardly kings, this could not change the fact that Zhao was a powerful country.
Maybe Zhao State is not as good as Da Qin, but with Zhao State's military strength, it can fight against any country in Shandong.
Looking through the news and intelligence about Handan, Zhao Shu frowned slightly. Handan is indeed a fortified city comparable to Xianyang.
Both the size and scale are at the pinnacle of the world. Such a huge city, coupled with Zhao Jun's persistence, will be very difficult to break.
"Dunruo has met the general." At this moment, Dunruo walked into the shogunate and greeted Yang Duanhe.
"Meet sir."
Facing Dunwei, Yang Duanhe did not dare to be careless. After all, the opponent was already one of the leaders of the pedestrian station, and he still held the black ice platform in his hand.
After the two met, Yang Duan and Chao Dunruo introduced him, saying: "Sir, this is General Xin Sheng. I think you have met him before. This is General Zhao Shu."
"Sir, Mr. Shu." Zhao Shu saluted quickly. Although he had some unpleasant experiences with Heibingtai, he would not be at odds with Dunwei.
As the leader of the Black Ice Platform, Dunruo naturally knew Qin Wangzheng's attitude towards Zhao Shu and also knew Zhao Shu's abilities.
At this time, he smiled and said: "General Zhao, you are young and promising, I really envy you!"
"Mr. Miao Zan."
After greeting each other, Yang Duan and Chao Zong paused and said: "Sir, you are a strategist and in charge of the pedestrian station. In your opinion, what is the possibility of persuading Guo Kai to surrender?"
"Not big."
Dun Ruo glanced at Yang Duanhe, and he noticed Yang Duanhe's plan almost instantly: "Unless our army breaks through the outer city."
"If our army breaks through the outer city, do we still need him to surrender?" Zhao Shu sneered and said to Dunruo and others: "If our army breaks through the outer city, the Zhao royal family, Guo Kai and others will only die.
"
Hearing this, he took a deep look at Zhao Shu. He did not expect that Zhao Shu was so young and so murderous.
"Zhao has not reached its final predicament after all. Both Li Mu and Handan City have food, grass and troops."
He smiled weakly and said to Yang Duanhe: "In my opinion, there is only one way to attack by force."
The weak words left the three of them silent, and they went back and forth again.
For a moment, there was silence in the shogunate, especially Zhao Shu, who said nothing and read the information on the side.
The matter is settled.
Attacking Handan by force has become the only option.
He had deduced a storming of Handan, and there was still a slight possibility of success, but he was not the commander of this large army.
Yang Duanhe commanded the army. He could not guarantee the success rate. It might be higher or lower than him.
Moreover, his deductions tend to be extreme, and his requirements for soldiers are almost perfect.
Zhao Shu knew that it was difficult for generals in the army to do it, so the deduction was one thing, and the implementation process was another.
During the process, anything can happen.
"Xin Sheng, please ask the king to send civil servants to take over Handan in advance. After our army conquers Handan, we will go north to Jingxing Pass."
Yang Duanhe pondered for a long time and made a decision. It was just a forceful attack. Great Qin Ruins were good at fighting tough battles.
"promise."
When Dun Rui left, Yang Duan and Gangcai turned to Zhao Shu and said: "It seems that we can't persuade Guo Kai to surrender. We can only attack Handan by force."
"Um."
Zhao Shu nodded and said to Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng: "In fact, there is no problem in attacking by force, but the casualties of the soldiers will increase."
"The last general's suggestion is to join forces with General Huanjue and form a large army with three people to command and attack on two fronts."
Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Yang Duanhe's eyes flashed with light: "Tell me in detail your three-man command and two-line attack strategy!"
"promise."
Zhao Shu nodded in agreement, walked to the map, drew out the sword in his hand, and said: "General, please look, this is the location of our army, this is Handan City, and this is the headquarters of General Huanjue."
"In Handan City, Lian Po has been convicted, and the commander-in-chief of the three armies is Han Cang, who is actually Guo Kai."
"Compared to Han Cang, Guo Kai is more difficult to deal with. Guo Kai has also led an army and is familiar with military affairs. Even if he is not as difficult as Lian Po, he is not easy to defeat."
"The Zhao army is on the defensive and has a favorable location, and they can recruit young men at any time."
At this point, Zhao Shu changed his subject and said, "But if our army attacks from both sides, it will definitely distract the main force of Zhao's army."
"Neither General, nor General Huanjue, nor General Xin Sheng, nor General Li Xin can control the more than 200,000 troops by one person and fight on two sides."
"So, storming the north gate requires a strong general to command, and storming the south gate also requires a strong general to command."
"On this basis, if there is one more person who will coordinate the overall situation and secretly mobilize all the armies to make the two sides attack in unison, then Handan will be defeated."
"In this way, there is another advantage, that is, Handan is defeated by two armies at the same time, and the victory belongs to everyone."
"When Handan is conquered, we will be able to cooperate better with General Huanjue's troops and then attack Jingxing Pass."
........
Hearing this, Yang Duanhe fell silent.
It's not that he doesn't understand the perfection of Zhao Shu's tactics, but if he wants to achieve this, a third person's command is the key.
"In our army, apart from General Wang Jian, the only one who can do this right now is General Meng Tian."
"Even the most popular Li Xin is not qualified enough to serve as a general fighting on both sides. Li Xin, Xin Sheng, and my general, General Huanjue, are all qualified."
Yang Duanhe smiled bitterly and said: "Now that General Meng Tian and Wang Jian are not outside Handan City, our army simply cannot do this if we want to implement this tactic."
"Yes, the third person is extremely important. Without the unified control of the third person, it will be difficult for the two armies to act in unison."
At this time, Xin Sheng had no choice but to speak and said: "General, do you want you to give it a try?"
Yang Duanhe shook his head: "I can't do this. To do this, you need terrifying computing power. The most suitable person in the entire Qin Dynasty is General Wang Jian."
