Chapter 127 Changping dilemma
All the generals gathered in the big tent, compared to the usual atmosphere is inevitably a little more dull, Bai Ying held the hilt of the sword with a gloomy face, knowing the news of Heiba's death was like a knife, the brotherhood was deep in the past, and he couldn't wait to rush to the old pass immediately to kill all the Qin army to avenge the death of the eldest brother, Zhao Kuo was also sad in his heart, death and injury on the battlefield were inevitable, Heiba was different after all, thinking of the past, how fast the brothers were together, Changping Pass and Guguan were attacked by the Qin army one after another, this trick is endless, directly blocking the retreat of the Zhao army, and the army is short of food and grass, Completely passive, Zhao Kuo stared at the march map in front of him with a gloomy face, and lightly scratched a few marks on it with his fingers, and his face suddenly changed.
The traces that have been crossed represent the movement of the Qin army and the deployment of troops, Changping Pass, Guguan, and the three camps on the other side of the river, which is equivalent to surrounding the Changping battalion of Zhao State, if it is impossible to break through the layers of blockade, hundreds of thousands of troops have no food to use, and they can only be trapped alive.
Zhao Kuo raised his head, "How many days can the grain and grass in the army last?" ”
One person got up, "Back to the * army, there is not enough food and grass, at most three days, and after three days, all the camp tents will be out of food!" ”
"Three days!" Zhao Kuo frowned when he heard this, the battalion had long known that there was a shortage of food, and he didn't want to be strict to such a point, the food brought from Handan that day was eaten so quickly, think about it, hundreds of thousands of troops consume a lot every day, and now they can only last for three days, which is far from enough.
The man sighed, "The last general has exhausted all methods, but there are too many people and too many people consume too much every day." After saying that, he shook his head again and again, and the former battlefield warriors didn't want to turn all their hair gray because of the grain and grass.
Zhao Kuo nodded, "You have done your best, no wonder you, step back first." ”
The man dodged back, and the audience could hear it clearly, and one of them stood up and bowed to salute, "* Army, the war is tight, why is Handan reluctant to send grain and grass, the Changping camp is short of food, those courtiers in Handan don't know in their hearts, they drink wine and eat meat every day, can we let us fight to the death with the Qin army hungry!" The man was muscular, his voice was loud, and there was resentment in his words.
Zhao Kuo said: "The situation in Handan is unknown, and now Changping Pass is occupied by the Qin army, even if you can raise food, there is no way to send it to the camp." ”
Lian Fu got up, "Ask the * army to give Lian Fu a team of men and horses, and he will definitely recapture Changping Pass and kill all the Qin army!" When he mentioned Changping Guan Lian Fu, his face suddenly became hot, if he hadn't lost the pass carelessly, how could he have today's troubles.
"General Lian, don't be anxious, this matter will be discussed later!"
Kicking and kicking, a trot, a soldier came to the door of the big tent and stopped, in front of the door stood a few personal soldiers, no one was allowed to enter without the order of the * army, "Let him in." Zhao Kuo heard the sound, the footsteps were very urgent, and he faintly heard the sound of panting.
The soldier quickly walked inside, "* army, catch a few Qin army spies at the gate." ”
"Qin Jun spies!" After hearing this, everyone stood up, their eyes revealing resentment, they didn't want the Qin people to be so bold, and they actually dared to send people to blend into the Zhao army camp.
"Bring it in."
The man agreed, and after a short time, the footsteps sounded again, faintly with a noise, and the soldier came to the big tent and pushed forward, "Look at how Lao Tzu will clean you up in a while, wearing the skin of a Qin person and daring to pretend to be a Zhao person." ”
I saw that the clothes and armor worn by several people were unique to the Qin army, and the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, which inevitably hurt their own people, and most of them worked the shape and color of the armor, so that they could be quickly distinguished.
The person at the head raised his head and looked happy, "* army, Zhao Xian finally saw * army!" The man's hands were tied and he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, Zhao Kuo stood up, his voice was so familiar, and when he came closer, the man looked up, his face was full of mud, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while.
"Who are you?"
"* Army, the last general Zhao Xian, the deputy lieutenant of Handan City!"
"General Zhao! Untie it out! Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward quickly, not wanting to be really flooded and the Longwang Temple family didn't recognize the family, and blamed Zhao Xian, what was not good to wear, but he was wearing a Qin army costume, if he didn't find it himself, he would inevitably be shot by the guards.
The person who came was Zhao Xian, the deputy lieutenant in charge of Handan's city defense, who was loyal and righteous, and strictly enforced the law, Zhao Kuo recognized, and the voice was already familiar, and it was Zhao Xian who should be in charge of the city defense in Handan.
The rope was untied, Zhao Kuo bent down to help Zhao Xian up, Zhao Xian had tears in his eyes, "* Jun, Zhao Xian is late!" ”
"Sit down and talk, General Zhao should be in Handan, why did he come here, and he appeared in the costume of the Qin army!"
Zhao Xian slowly sat down and sighed: "Don't hide it from you, Zhao Xian was ordered by the king to escort grain and grass to the camp, and Zhao Xian was to blame for being careless and having an accident on the way." ”
"Grain and grass!" When it comes to food and grass, everyone's eyes suddenly light up, and the most important thing in front of them is not to fight and take revenge, but to fill their stomachs, and only when they fill their stomachs can they think about other things.
"Grain and grass taken away?"
Zhao Xian shook his head, "It's not taken away, but a fire burned down, it's all because Zhao Xian listened to the words of others and gathered the grain truck, and finally it was plotted by the gangsters, Zhao Xian was ashamed of the king, and even more sorry for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Changping." ”
"Grain and grass are burned!"
Lian Fu said: "What Lord Zhao said is that the fire under Changping Pass is not successful? ”
Zhao Xian nodded, "That night, the grain truck was only half a day's trip from Changping Pass, and when I was sleepy along the way, I thought of it and simply stopped to rest, just waiting for dawn to hurry immediately, I didn't want to suddenly kill a group of people in black that night, and it was not allowed to say that the sword took people's lives, Zhao Xian led the crowd to resist, trying to block the offensive with the formation, how could those people and dogs jump over the wall and take out the fire to ignite the grain car, and hundreds of thousands of loads of food were gone. ”
Zhao Kuo said with a gloomy face: "General Lian also saw that fire?" ”
Lian Fu nodded, "I was resting that night, and the soldiers came to report that there was a fire under the Changping Pass, so I took the soldiers up to check and saw the fire rising in the sky, the fire was fierce, and I was immediately alert, and ordered the soldiers to take strict precautions, I didn't want the Qin army to launch an offensive immediately, it was also considered to be prepared in advance, more than 10,000 casualties in a battle, and the Qin army was also unable to get any benefits, and the casualties were above our army. It's a shame to think about it. ”
Speaking of the dead black ba, Bai Ying held the wine glass and his fingers suddenly exerted force, with a click, the wine glass shattered, Zhao Kuo's eyes were cast, Bai Ying couldn't hide the grief in his heart and had to turn around.
Zhao Kuo said, "Can you see the identities of those people?" ”
Zhao Xian shook his head, "The incident happened suddenly, and those people with black scarves on their faces can't be judged at all, but one thing is certain, those must not be Qin people." ”
"It's not the Qin people, it's the Zhao people."
"Damn it!" One person stepped in, it was Zhao Kuo's side of the fierce general Mu Chen, with a gloomy face, only to take the soldiers out to inspect and come back to learn that Heiba had died in battle, and the two major passes were captured by the Qin army, and he walked in with resentment on his face.
Zhao Kuo waved his hand, Mu Chen sat back in place, "Generals, Zhao Kuo was ordered to come here, this battle is related to the survival of Zhao State, dare not have the slightest slack, the Changping battalion is facing an unprecedented predicament, the Qin army first cut off my back road, and now set up a position on the opposite bank of me, with clear intentions, it must be seen that our army is short of food, and I want to trap our army to death with the momentum of encirclement!" ”
Lei Meng got up, "Lei Meng is willing to lead his troops to cross the river and defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop, so the situation of the encirclement can be solved!" "Lei Meng is belligerent, and now his injuries have improved, and he has gotten up to fight.
One person smiled and said: "How can this kind of good thing be without Zhang He!" ”
"The last general is willing to fight with the Qin army!"
Everyone got up one after another to ask for battle, Zhao Jun won again and again, morale is high, the generals do not put the Qin army in their eyes, Zhao Kuo sees in his eyes, winning the battle must be a good thing, at least no one wants to lose, but the arrogance produced in this way is worrying, the battle of the party lasted for three years, and the two sides spent a lot of money and lost due patience.
This is completely certain, why has it not been against Changping Pass and Guguan for three years, and now the Qin army's tactics have changed in an instant, plus the three camps that appeared on the other side, and the Qin army has been defeated repeatedly, Wang Yi must not dare to raise troops so rashly, and all the Qiē confirmed that the commander of the opposing camp must be replaced by Bai Qi.
"Zhao Kuo is determined to fight with Bai Qi!"
