Zhao Kuo led the advance troops to check the terrain, starting from the city gate of Handan and arriving at Changping, except for a few passes, it was almost a flat river, and there was no natural danger to defend, and finally it was clear why King Huiwen did not hesitate to take over Shangdang County at the same time as a battle with Qiang Qin, just imagine how Qin would occupy Shangdang how Zhao would let Zhao State do a big threat to Qin's hegemony, Zhao State will never have peace, Qin Army can attack Handan at any time, Zhao State has to gather several times the strength to deal with it, spend manpower and material resources far above the Qin Army, once the Qin Army sends troops to Zhao State will die, Therefore, this battle cannot be avoided, Zhao Wangdan has the heart to seek peace, and is also worried that the Qin State will make too many demands, so he can only hope for Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked up, a pass appeared between the mountains, to here has been to the periphery of Shangdang, the land of Shangdang originally belonged to the powerful Jin State, how can the Jin Kingdom because of the civil strife weakened, and finally led to the three families of Jin, the land of Shangdang was also divided by Wei, Zhao and Han at that time, of which the closest Korea occupies most of it, Zhao and Wei occupy the periphery, establish an alliance with each other, how can they conquer each other, the former covenant is gone, Han and Wei are unable to fight with Qin, and the only thing left is Zhao.

"Someone, notify the Black Ba Department to be stationed at this pass."

The herald promised to leave quickly, Heiba got the order, and took all 5,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to the old pass, Zhao Kuo had already taken the men and horses to the pass, and as far as the eye could see, there were dangerous places in the distance, with dense trees, mountains and mountains connected, interspersed with fine valleys, the terrain was extremely complicated, and a figure quickly stepped forward.

"General!"

"Commander Heiba, General Ben ordered you to lead people to guard this pass, remember that this pass must not be lost!"

Zhao Kuo's face was stern, as the commander of the three armies, he could do whatever he wanted in the house, every word represented an order, Heiba clenched his fists, "General rest assured, even if there is the last person left, he will not let people occupy this pass." ”

"The army is leaving!"

Zhao Kuo ordered, before leaving, he didn't forget to pat Heiba on the shoulder a few times, Heiba nodded, the tacit understanding between brothers no longer needs too many words, one look, one action is enough.

After the old pass, the mountain gradually descends, the slope tends to be gentle, a canyon is formed between the two mountains, the clouds and mist linger in the canyon, the sound of birdsong, mixed with the sound of the water flow is refreshing, if there is no war, this must be a holy place in the world, bring the beauty here to enjoy the love of the world.

The pilot pointed with his hand, "General, the left is Hanwang Mountain, and the right is Daliang Mountain, General Lian is building fortifications here, and the army is distributed among the mountains and rivers!" ”

"How will the army of the Qin State be armed?"

"Most of the Qin army is stationed on the opposite bank, building fortifications according to the terrain of the Laomaling Mountain, Qinshui is also occupied by the Qin army, and the Qin army warships are used to transport people, horses, grain and grass on it!"

"Warship!"

The spy nodded, "Xianyang is far away from here, relying on the passage of warships!" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, from the topography of Lian Po layout is extremely exquisite, according to the trend of the mountains and rivers and the Qin army confrontation, several lines of defense are intertwined with each other, even if one of them is lost, it is completely possible to rely on other lines of defense to block the Qin army, through the mountain and the Qin army, the most powerful is to use stones along the Danzhuling-Yangtou Mountain-Guanling Mountain line (that is, the dividing line between the Changzhi Basin and the Jincheng Basin), from Changping Pass in the west, to the old pass and then to the saddle gully, built a Great Wall, because it is a hundred miles long and built with stones, so later generations called it to do again"The Great Wall of Hundred Miles". The strength of this defense line lies in the fact that the mountain is dangerous and difficult to climb, and it can be called a "road" place, there are only two pass exits, namely Changping Pass and Guguan, both of which are built on the mountain, the south slope is steep, the north slope is gentle, that is to say, the attack of the Qin army in the south Zhao army, to climb the steep south slope; However, when the direction of Handan in the north was transporting grain and grass to the Zhao army, the northern slope was very gentle, which could be described as a shield that was beneficial to the Zhao army.

Lian Po was not sure that the Hyunshui defense line could stop the Qin army, the area around Laomaling fell into the hands of the Qin army, the two sides had a battle, and the Qin army's attack power was amazing, so he invested a lot of energy in the rear of the Bailishi Great Wall defense line, according to Lian Po's plan, even if the Hyunshui defense line was lost, the Zhao army still had enough time to retreat to the more dangerous Bailishi Great Wall defense line to continue to defend. The choice of relying on the Hunshui garrison is a strategy of defending and attacking, so that when the Qin army retreats, it can react quickly, which is exactly what King Qin Zhaoxiang did not want to see, so he used Fan Sui's strategy to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo and wait for an opportunity to find a fighter.

"Heavy grain and grass are hoarded here, and the others will wait in place, and then make a decision after General Ben meets General Lian!" Zhao Kuo ordered to go down, and the soldiers put the heavy grain and grass on a high place, so that the guards could also avoid being wet by the rain.

Zhao Kuo took a team of personal soldiers to fly forward, and saw Lian Po flying from a distance, and he had great respect for Lian Po from the bottom of his heart, if it wasn't for that wonderful relationship, he would not gladly agree, there were too many reasons to refuse, this battle was about life and death, not for fame, let alone for heroes.

There is a person standing on the stone platform, holding a spear majestic, it is the * army Lian Po, followed by the generals, all with gloomy faces, Zhao Kuo is young after all, these people are veterans who have been galloping on the battlefield for many years, how can they look at a hairy boy in their eyes.

Zhao Kuo stepped forward, "Zhao Kuo meets the * army!" ”

Lian Po said with a smile: "Now you should call your nephew *Juncai!" "King Zhao issued a reward, and Zhao Kuo was promoted to the * army, the purpose is to increase the prestige of the army, and the way to enhance prestige is nothing more than three things, military merits, positions, and skills, all three are indispensable.

"General Lian is the pillar of the country, the king is worried about the health of the army, so he specially ordered Zhao Kuo to come to replace him, knowing that he is shallow in his studies, embarrassed and embarrassed, and he is terrified all day long!"

Lian Po said: "Things are man-made, and not all people are born to fight, just remember three points!" Lian Po stretched out three fingers, "Don't fight if you don't know, don't fight if you don't know, don't fight if you don't fight, don't fight if you don't fight!" ”

Zhao Kuo clenched his fists, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

"There are too many variables on the battlefield, and this place is even more dangerous and ambushes can be hidden everywhere, so before the war, it is necessary to go through investigation, find out the geographical advantages and the opponent's defense before you can fight, it is not clear that you will not fight; The conditions for determining victory are quite complicated, weather, terrain, strategy, etc., only by finding the right fighter can you fight, and you will win a battle, otherwise you will not fight; Those who are handsome should only listen to the way of words, listen to the opinions of their subordinates, and if the opinions do not agree, they should be reasonable, and they can fight with one heart! ”

Zhao Kuo nodded again and again after hearing this, although they are all methods of not fighting, they are implicitly subtle, as long as the conditions mentioned in them can be met, the method of not fighting can become the main battle strategy, "Xie * Jun teachings!" ”

Lian Po smiled, "It's been three years, and the old man also wants to go back and see, put a stick of incense in front of the Dawang Temple, and leave the remnants of the body in front of the spiritual position!" There was sadness in the words, and the generals behind him couldn't help but cry secretly, Lian Po explained in advance that all the generals obeyed Zhao Kuo's orders and must not disobey.

Lian Po walked down, slipped and almost fell, "Dad, be careful!" ”

There is a person standing behind Zhao Kuo, with a purple complexion, holding a big gun, it is Lian Fu, the son of Lian Po, who was defeated in the palace battle to the drunken swordsman Wei Gu, his strength is amazing, and the big gun in his hand is quite well remembered by his father Lian Po, originally thought that he would be able to rise to become the general of the army by virtue of Lian Po's relationship, and he didn't want Lian Po to have other plans, Lian Fu joined Zhao Kuo's new army, and now he is a thousand-commander with his ability, and he couldn't bear to shout in his heart when he saw his father's body shaking and almost falling.

"Remember, there is only * army here, there is no father and son, and the military order is a death order without human feelings!"

Lian Po waved his arms, this more than half a hundred years old veteran is respectable, slowly walked down the stone platform in the eyes of everyone, there were already pro-soldiers waiting below, Lian Po flew on the horse, waved the horsewhip and galloped away, I don't know why the moment has never been relaxed, three years, more than a thousand days and nights, in the face of the Qin army has always been difficult to sleep, now not in his position is not in his politics, can finally drink a pot of old wine to calm down for a while old friends, Zhao Hao, King Huiwen passed away one after another, the only thing in Handan City that makes Lian Po concerned is Lin Xiangru, The scene that happened back then is still in front of me, Zhao Kuo slowly climbed the high platform with a long sword in hand, and everyone below had to look up, where it was the supreme commander of the Zhao army.
