Chapter 49 49
Zhongshan is the most special country among the vassal states, he is a country China, and all the territories are within the territory of Zhao.
The emergence of Zhongshan divided the north and south parts of Zhao State, and because the territory was within the territory of Zhao State, Zhongshan State also became a big problem for Zhao State.
Because the Chu State attacked the Central Plains several times, he, as an old vassal state in the Central Plains, had to send troops to resist the attack of the Chu State.
As a result, there are not enough troops to deal with Zhongshan Kingdom, so he can only be careful to guard against Zhongshan Kingdom and prevent Zhongshan Kingdom from attacking.
In order to survive, Zhongshan has always befriended Yan Guo, hoping that Zhao Guo can have Yan's help when he attacks.
"Send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom?" Zhao Minggong looked at the ministers and asked.
"Zhongshan has always been a hidden danger in my Zhao country, we have not been able to free up our hands to deal with this Zhongshan country before, now we can draw troops from the Central Plains, I feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we draw troops from the Central Plains, let Han Wei help, we will be able to destroy the hidden danger of Zhongshan country, with the help of Han Wei, presumably the Northern Yan will not dare to easily support Zhongshan country!" Zhao Guoshangqing Lin Xiangru said.
Zhao Minggong nodded: "Shangqing is right, this is indeed an opportunity, Zhongshan State divides the territory of my Zhao State and establishes a country within the territory of my Zhao State, which has always been a hidden danger for our country, this is indeed an opportunity, eliminate this hidden danger, if you pass this opportunity, I don't know how long you will have to wait!" ”
Under Lin Xiangru's persuasion, Zhao would march into Zhongshan in Zhao when Qi Chu attacked Yue.
Ten days later, Qi Xiaobai and the others returned to Qi State!
Guan Zhong, as the supervising army, will attack the Yue country with the army and guide in the army!
On the second day after Qi Xiaobai returned, the Qi army entered the territory of Yue, and Chu also sent 300,000 elites from the south to attack Yue.
The first city that the Qi army wanted to attack when it entered the Yue Kingdom was Pengcheng......
In the camp of the Qi army, fifty miles away from Pengcheng, Sun Bin pointed to the map and said: "The defenders of Pengcheng are now General Li Shou, and at the same time there are 100,000 standing troops of the Yue Kingdom, and it is difficult to attack them!" ”
Zhang Heng looked at Sun Bin and said: "General, we have an army of 400,000, and we can deal with the Yue Kingdom with only 100,000, as long as we keep attacking, we can break the city in less than a week!" ”
"That's what I said, but then we will suffer very heavy losses, our 400,000 army is not only fighting this battle, after capturing Pengcheng, we will also march to Zhongwu and Gusu City, so as to go south and join the Chu army in Huiji!" Jiao Donghou said to Zhang Heng.
"Then what does the above general mean to do?" Guan Zhong on the side looked at Sun Bin and asked.
"Zhongjun, a strong attack will definitely be able to attack, but it will not be good for our subsequent advance, so we can't give up the strong attack and outwit it instead!" Sun Bin said to Guan Zhong.
"What's the way to outwit? I want to hear about it! Guan Zhong said to Sun Bin.
"This Li Shou is not a commander who defends the city, but an offensive commander, the Pengcheng fortifications, we have already investigated, are very strong, so we don't go to attack the city, but to lure Li Shou out, and fight a decisive battle with us within fifty miles outside Pengcheng, so as to annihilate Li Shou's army!" Sun Bin said to Guan Zhong.
"Then that's the general's words!" Guan Zhong said to Sun Bin.
In fact, in the barracks, the highest power is still Sun Bin, but Guan Zhong is the supervising army, and he has to report to Guan Zhong for anything.
After the meeting, Jiang Ai followed behind Guan Zhong, and Guan Zhong said: "You, follow Sun Bin to learn the art of war, you may need to go to the army in person in the future!" As a general, Jiang Ai also participated in this southward trip to Vietnam, but although Jiang Ai was a general, his official position in this war was only an auxiliary general (not a deputy general), and he was the lowest general among the core generals.
Sun Bin's strategy was to lure the Vietnamese army out of Pengcheng to fight a decisive battle, so as to fight a decisive battle against the Vietnamese army, and it was Zhang Heng who carried out this strategy.
"Lord Zhongjun, do you think this Sun Bin's strategy works? We stepped forward to scold, can this Li Shou come out to fight us? A small general beside Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know, but if it were me, I would definitely not go out of the city to fight, after all, Pengcheng has such a large artificial defense, and there are natural dangers, defending it is the best policy, this is a person with a little military common sense knows what to do!" Zhang Heng said to the little general beside him.
"Yes, this General Sun asked us to scold the formation, just like this, they will come?"
However, the military order cannot be violated, although the two of them feel that Sun Bin's strategy is useless, but they can only abide by it, commanding 50,000 troops, and going to Pengcheng City to scold the formation!
Zhang Heng's insult was extremely ugly, and Li Shou in the city was extremely uncomfortable when he heard the other party scolding him for being a woman or something, and he insulted his mother later......
In the Pengcheng Mansion, Li Shou clenched his fists: "This Qi army is simply too deceitful!" ”
"The general is angry, let them scold, we just don't fight, see what they can do!" An adjutant general beside Li Shou said.
"Is this kind of shrinking thing the work of a manly man?" Li Shou roared angrily.
"But...... Our Pengcheng has natural dangers and such a huge defense system, what reason is there to go down to a decisive battle with them? We have a bigger advantage in defense! The adjutant general looked at Li Shou and explained.
"But the soldiers of my Vietnamese army are all warriors who are one in a hundred, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles, how can I let them scold wherever they are?" Li Shou looked at the adjutant general beside him and said.
"The general dissipates his anger, scolds and scolds, anyway, two pieces of meat are indispensable, let them have a good time!" The adjutant general was very calm, and it didn't matter if he scolded.
However, Li Shou has a fiery temper, he can't stand being scolded like this, he looked at the deputy general beside him: "I can't stand it, order troops, I want to go out of the city to fight!" ”
The adjutant general was stunned: "General, you're not joking, right?" ”
"Am I kidding? Although the other party is 400,000 people, it is just a rabble, but my Vietnamese army is all excellent soldiers, and I am not afraid of this Qi army! Li Shou said to the lieutenant general beside him.
The deputy general still wanted to persuade him, but looking at this fiery temper, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only obey Li Shou's words and go out of the city to face the battle.
Sun Bin was sitting within fifty miles outside Pengcheng at this time, looking at Jiao Donghou next to him: "Master Hou, this Li Shou has a hot temper, and he is a siege general, he can't tolerate others scolding him, and he can't stay in Pengcheng to defend the city all the time, so we have to prepare for the battle here!" ”
But Jiaodong Hou Tiandan didn't think so, and felt that as long as he was a fool, he would not go out of the city to fight......
Of course, there are also Zhang Heng who think so, but what Zhang Heng and Tian Dan didn't expect was that this Li Shou was really the fool in their hearts.
Li Shou walked out with the army and glared at Zhang Heng angrily: "And when you dare to call for battle, I will dare to fight!" ”
Zhang Heng was stunned, he didn't expect this Li Shou to really come out......
