Chapter 72 Choose the shogunate, Zhao Shu's arrogance.
"It shouldn't be so fast. Could it be that Lord Wu'an of the State of Zhao is fake?" Huanjue shook his head, his eyes full of confusion.
The development of the matter made him a little confused. Huanjue knew how difficult Li Mu was at Jingxing Pass, and he had seen how powerful Li Mu was.
Xin Sheng hurriedly explained, "Old general, he is not General Wang Jian, but General Meng Tian. Our Great Qin has two generals."
"Meng Tian is here?"
At this moment, not only Huan Yan was stunned, but also Li Xin beside him. Strictly speaking, Meng Tian was the real rising star in the Qin army.
And it is also the most dazzling one.
Meng Tian is the same age as them.
If we make a division in the Qin army, the older generation represented by Meng Wu Huanjue and others, and the prime-age group represented by Wang Jian.
Next came the young faction led by Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Li Xin, Yang Duanhe and others, also known as the Young Strong faction.
Zhao Shu, who came out of nowhere now, can be considered a new generation, the same generation as Wang Li and others.
Basically, the older generation has stopped going to the front line. The reason why Huan Jue took command this time was to train Li Xin.
Because of Li Xin's character, Qin Wangzheng was a little worried. Now the people carrying the banner among the Qin army belong to Wang Jian's generation.
Today Wang Jian is a general, while Meng Tian belongs to their generation. Li Xin and others are still training, but Meng Tian is already a general in Da Qin. This shows that Meng Tian is amazingly talented.
"The general is here. What are your orders?" Li Xin raised his eyebrows and asked Xin Sheng.
He knew in his heart that if Meng Tian arrived, he would not let an army deputy general like Xin Sheng come without any major actions.
Facing the gazes of the two men, Xin Sheng spoke and said: "Here is a letter from the general. Since Handan has not yet been conquered, Xianyang is in urgent need of food and fodder."
"The general plans to repeat Wu'anjun's old story, command the northern and southern armies from the center, and use General Huanjuan and General Yang Duanhe as the commanders of the two armies to attack Handan."
Having said this, Xin Sheng took out the letter written by Yang Duanhe and handed it to Huan Jue, then remained silent.
After opening the silk book and looking at it, Huan Ye said in a deep voice, "The notes are Meng Tian's, but why are there no seals and clay seals from the general?"
"Old General, as soon as the general's letter seal and clay seal are released, if the general encounters a problem on the road, won't all the news of the general's arrival be leaked?"
Xin Sheng looked at the two of them solemnly and said: "If this letter has all the identity certificates of the general, it will not be sent by the general in person, but by an envoy."
"If Meng Tian arrives, he can attack Handan openly and openly. Why should he follow the example of Lord Wu An?" Huanjue was still a little confused. It involved the army, so he had to be cautious.
Hearing this, Xin Sheng smiled bitterly and pointed in the direction of Handan: "The old general may have forgotten that Lian Po has only left the field, not died."
"Once the State of Zhao learns of the general's arrival and activates Lian Po again, not only will the plan of the pedestrian station fail, but it will also increase the difficulty for us to conquer Handan."
"After all, that man is Zhao's famous city defender."
Hearing this, Huan Jue and Li Xin looked at each other, then turned to Xin Sheng and said, "Go back and report to the general. I will follow your orders."
"promise."
Xin Sheng left.
In the shogunate, Huan Yan and Li Xin sat opposite each other, both of them were a little lost in thought: "Li Xin, what do you think about this matter?"
Hearing this, Li Xin said in a deep voice: "General, this is the general's military order. We should not doubt it."
"And what Xin Sheng said is right. Lian Po is still alive. As long as the news about General Meng Tian spreads, Zhao will definitely use him."
"Moreover, even if there are any problems, it has nothing to do with us. We are just following orders."
"Um."
Nodding, Huan Ye turned to Li Xin and said, "Order the army to prepare for war and let the soldiers eat something good."
"promise."
.........
After walking out of the shogunate, Zhao Shu led the short soldiers to find the place where the shogunate was set up. He wanted to take the entire city of Handan under his eyes.
As the moonlight shone, Zhao Shu led his troops up one mountain range after another, then inspected the terrain and looked back at where the army was.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Zhao Shu and his party climbed to the top of Tianqiong Mountain, the highest mountain outside Handan City, and he nodded with satisfaction.
This place satisfies his requirements.
From a high position, you can see where the Northern and Southern armies are, and you can also have a panoramic view of Handan City. Although the distance is a bit far, you can intuitively see the war situation.
In addition, when there is news from the messenger, he will have a clearer understanding of the war situation and the situation. This can be said to be the best place.
Sitting in the clear water and eating dry food, Zhao Shu moved towards Fen and said: "This is the location of the shogunate. Let the general dispatch five thousand people as messengers to get familiar with the terrain here immediately."
"At the same time, let the messengers map out the time from here to the shogunate of the Northern and Southern armies, and let them run a few more times. I will prepare the numbers."
"promise."
Finally, Zhao Shu spoke and said: "Prepare water and dry food here. Once the war starts, you can't light a fire here, you can only eat dry food and water."
"promise."
After choosing the location of the shogunate, Zhao Shu made a mark on the mountain and led the short soldiers back. He needed to prepare some things at the shogunate and discuss some details with Yang Duanhe.
details make a difference.
Zhao Shu did not allow failure this time. He knew very well that if he failed, not only himself, but also the futures of Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng and others would be affected.
And once he succeeds, he will minimize this impact. Repaying kindness is what a person should stick to most.
Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng treated him well, so Zhao Shu naturally wanted to do a good job and repay them.
Returning to the shogunate, Xin Sheng had not yet returned. Zhao Shu saluted Yang Duanhe: "General, the general has chosen the location of the shogunate."
"The final general will need five thousand messengers to familiarize themselves with the terrain in advance, and they will need to measure the time to travel to the north and south."
"These messengers do not need to be skilled in bows and horses to remain loyal."
Hearing this, Yang Duanhe nodded and said: "You are right, but how about your guards? I will send you another three thousand guards?"
"No, a short guard is enough." Zhao Shu shook his head and said to Yang Duanhe: "If someone can touch me and kill me, it means that the Civil War has failed."
"The five thousand messengers are just in case. Once the war drags on for too long, the messengers need to be rotated."
"However, according to the general's prediction, this war must end within five days."
