Chapter 70 We need to leave a chance for Daqin and this army
Yang Duanhe is not a fool.
He longs for war and the title of lord, but he knows better the consequences of trying to be brave. Once he becomes the third person, he will be held accountable by the court for failing in the war.
The terrifying computing power is definitely not something that ordinary generals can achieve. Yang Duanhe even doubts that Meng Tian may not be able to do it now.
In the whole world, perhaps only Lian Po, Li Mu and Wang Jian can do it. Of course, the late Wu'an Lord Bai Qi is definitely more than enough.
Thoughts were swirling in his mind. After a while, Yang Duanhe shook his head: "General Zhao, your idea is very good, but today's army lacks such a general."
"In the play, the army is mobilized, and the two armies of the north and south are forcibly combined by oneself, so that the attacks of the two armies tend to be consistent."
Hearing this, Xin Sheng also nodded: "What the general said is that in today's army, whether it is the general, General Huanjue, or General Li Xin, I am afraid that none of them can do this."
"Besides, even if we do it, we won't be able to convince others unless it's an edict from the king or the two generals come in person."
Zhao Shu kept his eyes on the map and said in a faint tone: "According to the king's strategic plan, it is impossible for General Meng Tian to appear."
"At the same time, General Wang Jian, as the commander-in-chief of the army, needs to lead the main army to confront Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of the State of Zhao."
"Without the general to restrain Li Mu, Li Mu would be a tiger out of the mountains, which would cause horrific damage to our army."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shi said solemnly: "So, we must have the final say on this battle ourselves."
"If the two armies of the north and the south cannot coordinate and attack Handan, our army will suffer too much loss and the gain will not be worth the loss. Even if it is a victory, when the time comes to hold people accountable, there will not be much military merit."
Suddenly, Zhao Shu came towards Yang Duanhe and said: "General, why don't you give it a try in the future?"
"you?"
At this moment, it was Yang Duanhe's turn to be surprised. He did not expect that Zhao Shu wanted to give it a try. For a moment, he was a little stunned.
Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng looked at each other, and then said in a solemn tone: "General Zhao, let's not talk about whether you have this ability. Even if you do, it is impossible for the armies of both sides to obey you."
"Even if the Northern Army has me here and can obey orders, what about the Southern Army?"
At this moment, Xin Sheng also looked at Zhao Shu. The young man in front of him was too crazy.
Holding the long sword tightly in his hand, Zhao Shu said coldly: "As for whether I have this ability, I can test it with a trial attack."
"As for obeying orders, since I can't command the entire army, I will use the name of the above general Meng Tian to command the three armies."
"Victory, the victory belongs to you all. Failure, I draw my sword and kill myself to apologize."
In the military, most of them are crazy people. As long as they have a chance to win, they are not afraid of being held accountable afterwards.
Especially on the battlefield, as long as the war is won, many prohibitions are of no use to the war. As a soldier, the key to victory is to do everything possible.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Duanhe looked up at Zhao Shu and said coldly: "If this is the case, how sure are you?"
"General, our army can attack Handan by itself, but the casualties will increase to a point that our army is not willing to bear."
Zhao Shu pointed to the map and said: "We can carry out two feint attacks together and let the northern and southern armies work together for a while. We can improve the situation by at least 30%."
"And the casualties should be within a controllable range. For the specific situation, I need the situation and information of the entire army in the north and south. I can only know it after the deduction."
At this moment, Xin Sheng and Yang Duanhe were also a little moved, but they were also a little hesitant. After all, if they acted in Meng Tian's name, they would definitely offend Meng Tian later.
The influence of the Meng family in the military is definitely no less than that of the Wang family, at least for now, it is still higher than that of the Wang family.
"Are the two generals worried that General Meng Tian will cause trouble later?" Zhao Shu chuckled and said: "After the defeat, they will naturally make trouble. But by that time, I will be dead, and all grievances will be gone."
"But if we win, as long as we explain the situation to the general and apologize to him, we will be fine."
Yang Duanhe shook his head: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army. How can I let you bear the responsibility alone? If this battle is won, it will be the merit of everyone."
"If you fail, you will be punished by yourself. Now you are not in a position to take responsibility. We will wait until when you become the commander-in-chief of an army."
Yang Duanhe took a deep look at Zhao Shu and said with a faint tone: "I will create Meng Tian's military orders and handwriting for you."
At this time, Yang Duanhe patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder: "Come on, if you win this victory, you will become famous all over the world..."
After Yang Duanhe left, Xin Sheng also came over and patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder: "Do a good job and don't let me and the general down."
"promise."
At this moment, Zhao Shu was a little moved. He knew in his heart how much pressure Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng would bear by doing this.
But they still took it.
In fact, Zhao Shu knew that they were not only doing it for military success, but also to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. After all, their comrades were fighting in bloody battles. They were used to seeing life and death, and they cherished the friendship of comrades even more.
Suppressing the emotion in his heart, Zhao Shu continued to bow his head and read the information. Since Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng trusted him so much, he would do it perfectly.
…
Outside the shogunate.
Yang Duanhe looked at the sky without saying anything. Xin Sheng walked out of the shogunate and faced Yang Duanhe: "General, are you going to let him go like this?"
Glancing at Xin Sheng, Yang Duanhe chuckled and said: "As Zhao Shu said, our army will defeat Handan no matter what. Let's not talk about the final casualties. This is an opportunity to practice."
"You, me, and Huanjue are all going to be like this in this life. Due to our limited qualifications, the most we can do is become a general guarding one side."
"But Zhao Shu is different."
"After Lord Wu'an, there have been many famous generals in the army, but there is only one commander-in-chief, General Wang Jian. Now Meng Tian can only be regarded as half."
"Given time, Meng Tian may grow up and become a qualified commander. Looking at the army, only Li Xin has such potential."
"But Li Xin's sword went off the rails and lacked a bit of grandeur. This guy Zhao Shu is not simple. Since he has confidence, I will help him."
"Even if Meng Tian and Li Xin grow up and reach the level of commander, Zhao Shu is younger than them. Zhao Shu, who is only fourteen now, is the hope of the great Qin warriors."
Yang Duanhe said with a faint tone: "Don't worry, with the king's love for talents, even if the results of this battle are not ideal, Zhao Shu will not be held accountable."
"If Zhao Shu succeeds in this battle, Zhao Shu will most likely become the cauldron bearer of the great Qin warriors in the future."
"We are all middle-aged and we need to leave a chance for Da Qin and this army."
