Chapter 331 The generation cannot be trusted, the noble lord is on strike!

Quwo, inside the commander's tent at the coalition camp

Pang Nuan, with gray beard and hair, was sitting on the commander's seat, wearing a military uniform, looking at the battle report in his hand, his expression was haggard, he kept rubbing his brow, as if he was troubled by something.

Yan Ju on the side looked at Pang Nuan's sad face and couldn't help but ask: "General, why are you so sad?"

Pang Nuan sighed and handed the battle report to Yan Ju.

"Ah? The Korean army encountered a night attack!"

Yan Ju was shocked. The Korean army was in Jiaocheng, behind the coalition camp, but they encountered a night attack by Qin general Yang Duanhe.

The 50,000-strong army outside the city was attacked by nearly 100,000 Qin troops at night, and 40,000 of them were beheaded. Even Bai Yifei, the deputy general of the Korean army, was chased and had to cut off his hair and discard his robes to flee. Only 1,000 of his 3,000 white-armored troops were left. Remaining people.

If Ji Wuye in the city had not sent troops to rescue in time, and if the Qin army did not dare to fight for a long time because they were worried about the coalition's rescue, the Korean army would probably have only one option left: to return to Xinzheng.

In the past, the Wei army suffered a disastrous defeat, and deputy general Jin Yao surrendered to Qin. Later, the Korean army was attacked, and deputy general Bai Yifei was seriously injured. Before the official attack on Hangu Pass, the armies of the two countries suffered heavy losses, which was a huge blow to the morale of the coalition forces.

"This can't go on like this."

Pang Nuan looked at the map with burning eyes and pointed at the position of Pusangjin. His fingertips pressed too hard and turned white.

"Originally, I wanted to let all countries get the benefits they wanted and strengthen the fighting spirit of their armies, but instead, I didn't want the Qin State to seize the opportunity of the coalition forces to attack Qin's cities and defeat them one by one."

"Instruct the troops of Chu, Yan, Han, Wei, and Wei to station in Quwo within half a month and prepare to attack Hangu Pass!"

Pang Nuan's military orders were very tough and did not give the other five armies any excuse to delay.

But, this is on the surface.

In private, Pang Nuan wrote several more letters, with gentle and sincere words, hoping that the generals of various countries would act accordingly.

Yan Ju took the personal letter sent from Pang Nuan to the generals of the five kingdoms. As soon as he walked out of the tent, a hand grabbed his arm.

"Ju, let me deliver these letters for you."

The person who held Yan Ju back was none other than Zhao Cong, another deputy general of Zhao Jun.

Yan Ju looked hesitant, but after a moment he chose to hand Pang Nuan's letter to Zhao Cong.

He and Zhao Cong have been friends for many years. The two often feasted and hunted, so he was more aware of some secrets that ordinary people did not know.

For example, why did Zhao Wangyan appoint two lieutenants?

There has always been only one chief general and one deputy general in the army. No country has ever appointed two deputy generals, but King Yan of Zhao did so.

Euphemistically called it, sharing the pressure with Pang Nuan.

Pang Nuan was so old and had to command and deploy the six-nation coalition forces as well as the Zhao army. Naturally, it was a serious drain on Pang Nuan's energy. That's why King Yan of Zhao made such arrangements.

But what is the real reason... In the final analysis, it is because the Zhao army led by Pang Nuan, a Wei man who has lived in Dai for many years, mainly comes from Dai.

The word "Dai" can be said to be the most feared by the Zhao kings in the past dynasties, and its origin comes from the ancestor Zhao Jianzi.

The ancestor of the Zhao family has coveted Dai since he was still a high official in the Jin Dynasty, Zhao Jianzi, and married his beautiful daughter to the king of Dai. The king of Dai was obsessed with beauty, doted on the daughter of Zhao in every possible way, and had no regard for the Zhao family. Be prepared.

After the death of Zhao Jianzi, Zhao Wuxie, who inherited his father's legacy, invited the king and his sister to meet. The king was unprepared and was ambushed and killed by Zhao Wuxie at a banquet. The daughter of Zhao committed suicide because of the guilt of the king, and the descendants fell into the hands of Zhao.

In his hands.

Since then, the contradiction between Zhao and Dai has laid the foundation for the disaster. Although the two places are both part of Zhao, they are full of contradictions. Dai is almost self-governing, maintaining an attitude of obeying orders but not propaganda, and gradually formed the Northern Zhao

The situation of partitioning with Southern Zhao.

Northern Zhao is centered on Dai, and occupies Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, and Dai. The army is mainly cavalry, and its strategic task is to defend against the Huns. Southern Zhao is centered on HD, and occupies HD, Jinyang, Shangdang, and Zhongmou.

, Xindu and other places, the army is mainly infantry, and the strategic task is to fight against the Central Plains Warring States Period.

In order to consolidate the national strength of Zhao State and compete with Qin State, King Wuling of Zhao decided to divide Zhao State into two. Southern Zhao was handed over to the youngest son Zhao He as the King of Zhao; Northern Zhao was handed over to the eldest son Zhao Zhang who was deposed as the crown prince.

Dai Wang, and himself called himself the master's father, thus integrating the national power of Dai and Zhao.

But in the end, both Zhao Zhang and Zhao He were dissatisfied with this. Zhao Zhang launched a rebellion and fought with Zhao He. He was defeated by the princes Gong Zicheng and Li Dui, and fled to the Sand Dune Palace. However, he was still directly beheaded by Gong Zicheng and surrounded the Sand Dune Palace.

, Zhao Yong starved to death.

Since then, the conflict between Zhao and Dai has become more and more serious. Dai completely stopped obeying King Zhao's orders and did not even participate in the Battle of Changping. He watched Zhao fall into danger of annihilation.

Oh no, it’s not entirely true to say that Dai Dai did not participate in the Changping War.

After all, Lian Po was born in Daidi and joined the direct command of King Zhao, so this was one of the main reasons why Lian Po was not trusted and was replaced by King Zhao.

In the past few years, although Zhao State was recuperating, it could not find the manpower or material resources to participate in the alliance. However, Pang Nuan, who had been waiting in seclusion for decades in the mountains of Chu State, stood up.

When he was under the command of King Wuling of Zhao, he was very familiar with the generals of Dai Di, and he even lived in Dai Di for more than ten years as a Wei man.

Under his lobbying, Dai Di reached a cooperation with Zhao Wangyan, sent troops and horses, and provided money and food.

But when Daichi's army appeared near HD, the Zhao royal family's distrust of Daichi emerged again.

Back then, the people of Zhao could kill the king of Dai and seize the land of Dai. Why couldn't the people of Dai kill the king of Zhao and seize the land of Zhao?

In a word, people cannot be trusted.

Therefore, Zhao Wangyan appointed Zhao Cong.

Of the 150,000 Zhao army, 80,000 were from Zhao and 70,000 were from Dai. However, the only ones Pang Nuan could actually command were the 70,000 troops from Dai. The command authority of the other 80,000 troops was

Zhao Cong, who was responsible for monitoring Pang Nuan and restraining Dai Di's army, had a tight control.

The reason why Yan Ju was able to become another lieutenant general was because he was on good terms with the Dai generals and Zhao Cong at the same time. The Yan family had served Zhao for generations and was able to reconcile the conflicting parties.

Yan Ju looked at Zhao Cong who couldn't wait to open Pang Nuan's letter before he reached the camp, and sighed sadly. 0

Can such an army really defeat Qin?

…

Pang Nuan's prestige was still enough to command the six-nation coalition. The Korean army was afraid of being attacked again and rushed to Quwo at an unprecedented marching speed. Wei and Yan also obeyed Pang Nuan's order.

Seeing this, the Wei army could not continue to stay in Hedong. They left 5,000 men in Bancheng and Yucheng each and rushed to Quwo.

On the contrary, Chu State, as the leader of the coalition, was the slowest to arrive.

In a word, the noble gentlemen do not want to fight.
