Chapter 179 179
"But the defense is the most advantageous for me!" Lian Po said to Han Cheng.
Although Han Cheng wanted to continue, he felt that only by taking the initiative could he win the victory, but Lian Po had always insisted on holding on, he couldn't convince Lian Po, and he could only think about this matter in his heart, after all, Lian Po was the commander of the army, he was just the deputy marshal!
In the camp of the Kingdom of Qi!
"Lian Po is famous for defensive battles, and he takes the initiative to attack, which is in line with Lian Po's intentions, so the generals are also ready to defend, and only carry out some feints!" Qi Xiaobai said to everyone.
After discussion and discussion, Qi Xiaobai chose to stalemate with Lian Po in Zhongshan City, containing Lian Po, while Tian Dan and Sun Wu opened up a new route to enter Handan.
With Qi Xiaobai restraining the current main force of Zhao State, Tian Dan and Sun Wu basically did not meet any decent opponents after Tian Dan and Sun Wu wiped out the elite Zhao army of the two thousand Hufu cavalry and archery reforms.
Three months later, the army led by Tian Dan and Sun Wu bypassed, Zhongshan City, and was about to approach Handan.
"As long as we cross this Xishan, then we can march to Handan!" Sun Wu said to Tian Dan.
Tian Dan nodded flatly, and then said, "General Sun, do you think it's a wise choice to let go of this Lian Po's main force and attack Handan?" ”
Sun Wu was silent for a while and said: "What Duke Huan means is to let us break Handan first, and then destroy Lian Po with a flank attack before and after, once Handan City is broken, the morale of Zhao State will definitely drop significantly, and it will be easier to deal with Zhao Jun at that time!" ”
Tian Dan sighed and said: "The Zhao State Sect has a certain prestige for the Zhao State, and Zhao Min also has a certain love for the Zhao State Clan, we have broken Handan, will the morale of the Zhao State really decline?" I'm afraid that if the morale rises, so will the hatred against us! ”
Tian Dan did not recommend marching into Handan, he felt that he should work together to eliminate Lian Po's main force first, and at that time, it would be a wise choice for them to march into Handan in a big way!
But Qi Xiaobai has already given an order, how can he disobey the order so much? Disobeying military orders, he Tian Dan can't afford it.
He could only obey Qi Xiaobai's orders and march into Handan, the capital of Zhao State.
After Sun Wu listened to Tian Dan's words, he was silent for a while, and what Tian Dan said was unreasonable, this Zhao State clan was deeply loved by Zhao Min, and breaking Handan would definitely cause Zhao Min's hatred, and the Qi army would face more powerful obstacles at that time.
There is another point, that is, after breaking Handan, Zhao State is not without a way out, they still have the main force Lian Po army, as long as they move the capital to ensure that the Zhao State clan is still there, they can still raise troops against the Qi army.
And once Handan City is broken, I am afraid that the Central Plains will send more reinforcements at that time, and it will be even more unfavorable to Qi at that time.
After all, it is impossible for Wei and South Korea to watch Qi destroy Zhao so easily behind their backs, and as soon as Zhao is destroyed, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for him Wei and South Korea?
Sun Wuneng guessed that once Handan was broken, Wei and South Korea would send reinforcements to Zhao to support even if the pressure on the main battlefield was greater, and Zhao could not be destroyed.
For the current form, the three heroes are grasshoppers on a line, and the destruction of any of the three kingdoms will be a big blow to the three kingdoms, after all, they have three threats: Qin, Chu, and Qi.
They must unite to resist this threat!
After listening to Tian Dan's words, Sun Wu realized that this defeat of Handan was not a good phenomenon after careful analysis!
Sun Wu looked at Tian Dan: "General Tian, it seems that our attack on Handan is not a good thing for Qi Guo?" ”
"From a big strategic point of view, it's true, it's not a good thing, and we'll be under more pressure at that time!" Tian Dan said to Sun Wu.
"In fact, the best strategy for Qi is to confront the north and south of Zhao State, so as to cut off some of Zhao State's cities, and then withdraw the army and destroy Zhao State, this plan is not a realistic plan at all!" Tian Dan continued.
Tian Dan's strategic intention was to occupy the northern part of the Zhao State, so as to confront the north and south of the Zhao State, conduct negotiations, and then cut off several Zhao lands, ask for money, withdraw the troops, and accept it when it is good.
For the Zhao State, at this juncture, they should not want to fight to the death with the Qi State, after all, they have an important enemy, the Chu State.
Throwing away a few poor cities on the border and a little money in exchange for stability in the rear of Zhao State, so that Zhao State can relax and deal with Chu State, this may not be a good choice.
Therefore, as long as Tian Danjue forms a state of confrontation between the north and south of Zhao State, negotiates with Zhao State, and cuts off some of Zhao's land, this is no problem at all.
But Qi Xiaobai and Guan Zhong's appetite is too big, they want to swallow Zhao Guo in one bite, Qi Xiaobai swelled, he Tian Dan can still understand, after all, he followed Qi Xiaobai during this time, Qi Xiaobai also has a certain understanding of Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai has a little bit of great joy, but Guan Zhong is so strategic, and he also swells, which makes Tian Dan a little incomprehensible.
Guan Zhong and Tian Dan also understood, after all, it was Guan Zhong who persuaded Tian Dan to follow Qi Xiaobai, such a strategist, and he began to get carried away......
Zhao is different from Yan and Yue, Zhao is a powerful country with peak national strength, and it also has the strongest and strongest allies, so it is a little unclear to rashly attack Zhao State.
At that time, the State of Qi attacked the State of Yue, because of the help of the State of Chu, and the situation of the vassal states was very good, the State of Qi and the State of Chu attacked the State of Yue can basically be taken 100%, and the State of Yan, it was Qi Xiaobai who caused a big war in the Central Plains, and there was a dispute between the princes in the Yan State, and the prince of the State of Yan was the nephew of Qi Xiaobai, and he also persuaded the State of Yan to hold a heavy army and Le Yi, and the situation at that time was also favorable to the annexation of the State of Qi and the State of Yan.
But this Zhao State is different, attacking Zhao State is to participate in the Central Plains War, and the Central Plains Three Heroes are against the three barbarians of the empire......
Although Qin, Qi, and Chu did not have a clear alliance, they all had one purpose, to enter the Central Plains, and Qin, Chu, and Qi and Chu also sent envoys to each other, and basically formed a conscious covenant.
Tian Danjue's is not very wise for the current Qi State, and the opponent of the Qi State, Zhao State, is not a weak country, and the national strength of Zhao State is still in a thriving state.
Although the Zhao State that Qi is fighting now has no power to fight back, it is because the main force of the people is not there, you have broken the capital of the people, who knows, will the main force of the people come back?
Of course, the main force of Zhao is back, and the Chu State is more relaxed, after all, Qi and Chu are blood alliances, but the purpose of Chu will not be to help Qi eliminate Zhao, but only to enter the Central Plains, after they win the Central Plains War, at most they will help Qi to resolve the contradictions of Zhao, Tian Dan does not believe that Chu can help Qi annex Zhao.
Although Qi and Chu are blood alliances, will the Chu Kingdom help a country become strong?
