Chapter 1293: I don’t want you to feel it, I want me to feel it

"Everyone, now we have recaptured Zhenbeiguan, cut off the retreat of Yuan and Meng's more than 400,000 troops, and also saved Yinshan City. The situation is very good. But..."

At this point, Bai Qi's eyes showed seriousness and he said seriously: "The real challenge is about to come."

All the generals looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what the challenge in Bai Qi's mouth was. Only Li Jing frowned, looking slightly thoughtful.

"Although Yuanmeng has been continuously weakened by our army, its main force has not been lost. There are still more than 400,000 troops in Hetao. It is not easy for our army to eat these people.

In addition, Murong Ke, who was led there, will definitely be aware of our army's true strategic intentions once he learns about the fall of Zhenbeiguan. At that time, whether it is for the safety of his Murong family or the entire Yuan Meng, Murong Ke will definitely

I will travel thousands of miles back from Mobei at full speed.

Once Murong Ke comes back, Zhenbeiguan will once again face the danger of being breached by Murong Ke and Murong Chui from the north and south, and the good situation our army has worked so hard to establish will no longer exist."

As soon as Bai Qi said this, Yang Liulang and the other generals couldn't help but change their expressions. They all thought that after retaking Zhenbei Gua, the battle was basically won. They never thought that Zhenbeiguan might be defeated by Yuan Meng.

Take it back.

But think about it, the Han army can rely on two-sided attacks to amplify the defensive shortcomings of Zhenbeiguan, so as to capture Zhenbeiguan in one fell swoop. Then Yuanmeng can naturally do the same, and the effect may be even better. After all, Zhenbeiguan has been breached twice.

times, its defense power must have been greatly reduced.

Different from the panic of other generals, Li Jing heard this and thought for a while before saying: "It only takes two days for Murong Chui to arrive at Zhenbeiguan, but it will take at least half a month for Murong Ke to come back from Mobei.

time.

Therefore, if Murong Chui and Murong Ke want to attack Zhenbeiguan from both sides, they will have to wait at least half a month, and this period of time is enough for our army to restructure the defense of Yinshan City."

Bai Qi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. An expert would know it as soon as he made a move. No one present thought of this. Only Li Jing realized that half a month later, Yuan Meng would be able to launch a two-sided attack on Zhenbeiguan.

"In these fifteen days, we will repair the city walls and catapults, and continue to recruit militiamen and strong men.

Yinshan City only needs to leave 10,000 main troops and tens of thousands of militiamen to ensure that it will not be breached for a month or two. Therefore, before Murong Ke arrives, the governor can lead 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 main troops and two

Ten thousand militiamen went to support Zhenbeiguan.

In order to prevent being attacked from both sides inside and outside the pass, Murong Chui would definitely withdraw his troops first, wait for Murong Ke's arrival, and then turn back to attack from both sides. The governor-general could use 10,000 infantry and 20,000 militiamen to replace the 20,000 cavalry in the pass.

The role of infantry in defending the city is greater than that of cavalry, so the infantry should take the lead in defending the city. After our cavalry is freed from the shackles of Zhenbei Pass, it can contain and harass the enemy troops south of Zhenbei Pass and let them

Unable to use all our strength to attack Zhenbeiguan.

Even if Murong Ke comes back by then, he will only be blocked from Zhenbeiguan and will not be able to step into the Hetao again."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he found that the scene was extremely quiet. He turned around and found that everyone was staring at him. Then Bai Qi took the lead and was the first to applaud. In an instant, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Pa bang bang..."

Bai Qi looked at Li Jing with eyes full of admiration. What Li Jing said was exactly what he thought.

But you must know that what Bai Qi thought was conspired and proposed by many military advisors, and Li Jing was able to think of it alone. Although this was mainly because the plan had been advanced to this point, it was also enough.

It can be seen that Li Jing's own strategy is definitely the best in the world.

The level of army command is not much worse than his own, and his strategy is not much worse than that of other military advisors. If the two are combined, this is not the result of one plus one equals two. Bai Qi thought to himself and made a decision at the same time.

"What General Li Jing said is true, and this governor is also prepared to do so, but as for the choice of leader..."

Bai Qi deliberately made a long note, then looked at Li Jing and said, "I think General Li Jing is more suitable."

"What?"

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, but he was surprised, happy and ashamed in his heart. He didn't quite understand why Bai Qi wanted to give him this easy-to-get credit, and he felt extremely guilty for being jealous of Bai Qi in the past.

"The Commander-in-Chief is not allowed, the general thinks..."

Li Jinggang wanted to refuse, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Qi.

"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it."

Seeing that Li Jing wanted to persuade him again, Bai Qi waved his hand impatiently and said domineeringly: "Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter, just listen to me."

"This...No."

Li Jing clenched his fists in response, feeling extremely moved in his heart. He understood that Bai Qi was deliberately giving him a chance, so he made up his mind not to let Bai Qi down.

In fact, Bai Qi gave up the leadership opportunity and credit that should have been his to Li Jing, mainly because Jia Xu's words awakened him.

Bai Qi seemed to have a lofty status among the Qin army, but he also faced the embarrassing situation of being overshadowed by his superior achievements.

Although Bai Qi knew about this, he had never been willing to face it, but now he had to admit and face it. His prestige in the army was already too great, and his presence affected the lord's control of the army.

Although the lord had always trusted him and had no intention of reducing his military power, Bai Qi did not want to become an obstacle to the lord, and was extremely eager to get rid of this embarrassing situation.

Jia Xu did not directly tell Bai Qi how to avoid being overshadowed by his superior achievements. He only said some ambiguous words, but Bai Qi realized two stupid ways from these words.

First, he takes the initiative to shift from being in front of the stage to behind the scenes, and no longer controls the army for the time being. As time goes by, his prestige will decline, and naturally he will no longer be as powerful as the leader.

Second, give other generals the opportunity to lead the army and perform meritorious service. Let the second and third "Bai Qi" appear in the Qin army, breaking his status as the number one general in the Qin army, which will dilute his position.

Popularity and prestige will naturally not overwhelm the master with high achievements.

But in the end Bai Qi found that both methods were unreliable.

First, the troubled times have just begun, and we don’t know how many battles will be fought in the future, so even if Bai Qi wants to retire, Qin Hao will never let him retire.

Second, Bai Qi wanted him to transform the Qin army from one superpower to a two-pole confrontation, or even a tripartite confrontation. In short, it was to form a balance. But in fact, no one in the Qin army could catch up in the short term.
