Chapter 525 I don’t agree. It’s a long way to Daliang and I can’t afford to wait.
"stop fighting!"
Without raising his head or rolling his eyes, Ying Cheng looked at the map and said in a deep voice.
The generals who seemed to be about to fight in the next second were all silent, with dissatisfaction on their faces.
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
Lian Po, a veteran with seniority, age and good record, could not convince the Qin warriors just by talking white teeth.
Ying Chengzhi drew a line on the map with his index finger. From Linji on the bank of the Yellow River to Daliang, which was restored as the capital of Wei, there were no mountains.
Conquer Linji and the journey will be smooth.
With his index finger upside down, Ying Chengyu tapped Linji and looked up at the generals Zhao Tuo, Li Xin and Tu Sui who were leading the battle.
Point to Li Xin.
"Li Xin, if you come first, how long will it take to capture Linji?"
Under the gaze of the second emperor, Li Xin frowned in thought for a moment, then clasped his fists and replied:
"More than a month."
He originally wanted to say within half a month, but he changed his mind temporarily because he recalled that when he attacked Chu, he made a big statement, which caused 200,000 Qin troops to bury their bones. The Marquis of Longxi of Chu State was much more cautious this time.
But even so, some people still think he is arrogant.
"Ignorant boy! Zhao Kuo is second!"
A sneer, followed by an old sonorous voice.
"If you can conquer Linji in two months, I will give you my head!"
The veteran patted the table and mocked. He saw in Li Xin the shadow of Zhao Kuo who single-handedly sent Zhao into the abyss.
After staying in the Chang'an Junfu for several years, his evaluation of the younger generation of Qin generals was the same as Li Mu's, with each generation being inferior to the last.
"I said, the Linji in front of us is comparable to Handan a few years after the Battle of Changping. Bai Qi said he was invincible, how are you compared to Bai Qi?"
The veteran knew that he should not speak at this time unless the Second Emperor pointed his finger at him, but he really did not want to see the mistake of the Changping Battle happen again.
When the King of Zhao sent Zhao Kuo to take over the military power, if he insisted on his own opinion, he would say "The general will be outside, and the king's orders will not be accepted."
He may die from King Zhao's suspicion, but before he dies, at least Zhao will never be defeated, and those two hundred thousand sons will not be buried alive.
The veteran judged that if he really wanted to attack Linji at all costs.
The best case scenario is that it will be difficult to make further progress in half a year.
Judging from the battle situation just now, the Wei army guarding here is obviously well prepared and ready for a long battle.
The worst-case scenario is that the entire Great Qin is dragged to death here.
The longer the stalemate in Linji is, the more dangerous it will be. Once the remnants of the Six Kingdoms find out that the Qin army can be blocked and unable to advance, they will lose their fear of Qin and unite to reinforce Linji. At that time, it will not be an attack on Linji, but a retreat letter.
valley.
The second emperor did not ask whether to fight or not, but directly asked Li Xin how long it would take to defeat him, which already showed his attitude.
The King of Qin was a hundred times more famous than the King of Zhao, so the veteran general could not just watch the two emperors make mistakes.
Li Xin suppressed his anger and looked at the second emperor. Seeing that the second emperor had no intention of stopping, he immediately responded with a sneer without showing any signs of weakness.
"If Wei Wuji hadn't stolen the talisman to save Zhao, Handan would have been destroyed countless times!"
He took a step closer to Lian Po and pressed forward:
"The captain himself said that if there were no reinforcements, Handan would not be able to defend it in the end!"
"cannot!"
The veteran always had something to say. When the women of Zhao State got married that year, few could find a man who was higher than the ideal.
No matter how united the Zhao State is, no matter how determined it is to fight to the death, it cannot rely on the weak old men, women and children to withstand the fierce tiger and wolf troops of the Qin Dynasty.
The old but strong, lustful veteran had a cold look on his face and took a few steps forward, almost touching Li Xin's face.
"The reinforcements were not there on the first day. Before the reinforcements arrived, Wang Ling led 300,000 Qin troops to surround Handan for two years!
"Handan will definitely be defeated, but that will be at least two years later! How can you have the courage to think that you can defeat Linji in more than a month?"
Without waiting for Li Xin's answer, the veteran turned around and bowed down.
"Your Majesty! This time the rebellion must be suppressed with great military speed. We must show that the Qin Dynasty is unstoppable and the rebels must be fearful and fearful. They must not be trapped in Linji!"
Ying Chengqiao frowned, and drew a curve around Linji on the map with his finger.
Where that curve passes, there are mountains and rivers.
Abandoning Linji not only gave up a city, but also gave up the highway connecting the city.
"I know what you mean, but marching like this will get twice the result with half the effort."
"His Majesty!"
"No need to say anything more."
Shaking his head and interrupting the veteran general's speech, the second emperor met everyone's eyes amid the joy of Li Xin, Tu Sui, Zhao Tuo and other radical generals, stretched out three fingers, and said seriously:
"The remaining months are too long. I only give you three days. Is there anyone who can defeat Linji? He who defeats Linji will be credited with the first victory in quelling the rebellion."
Li Xin's proud expression froze.
[Three three three? Three days??]
Tu Sui's eyes widened, he choked on his saliva, coughed repeatedly, and was speechless.
Three days? Even a radical like him thinks it’s too radical!
Only the young general Zhao Tuo, when he heard the word "First Merit", his blood surged up and his face turned red as he tried his best to prove himself.
Feeling that a great responsibility had been entrusted to him by heaven, he clasped his fists and bowed his head, saying with great excitement:
"Mojiang Ke! Ah!"
Before he finished speaking, the young general who was kicked hard and lying on the ground turned back angrily and roared:
"Ren Xiao!"
If Ren Xiao had not been the superior of the young general, led the young general, and taught the young general, the young general would not greet him with his mouth, but with his fists and feet.
Ren Xiao, who had not regained his legs yet, did not even look at the young general and said in a deep voice:
"If your Majesty must destroy Linji, you have a plan.
"To drive a wedge between Wei Jiu and Zhou Shi, they clamored to hear that Zhou Shi had monopolized power, but spread the news in Daliang that Zhou Shi stayed behind closed doors and intended to establish himself as King of Wei."
Those who are older in the field will stop at that point.
The Qin State tried many times to alienate the enemy. In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo was replaced by Lian Po, and in the Battle of Handan, Li Mu was killed.
If you can't solve Linji, then you can solve the Zhoushi who guards Linji.
The veteran Lian Po felt sad, but he had to admit that this was a good strategy.
"Lian Po seconded the proposal."
Meng Tian thought for a while, then stepped out of the queue and cupped his fists.
"Meng Tian seconded the proposal."
Tu Sui, who keeps coughing, befriends Ren Xiao.
"Ahem, Tu Sui, cough, Tu Sui second the motion."
"..."
Within the large tent, voices of support arose one after another. Radicals and conservatives reached an agreement. This pre-war meeting seemed to be coming to an end.
When no one spoke again, the second emperor shook his head.
"I don't agree. It's a long way to Daliang and I can't afford to wait.
"If none of you can defeat the city in three days, then this achievement belongs to me. Don't say that I take your military merit."
All the generals looked at each other.
They knew that the second emperor was no layman when it came to fighting.
On the contrary, with the Second Emperor's record, being a general is more than enough.
It has been less than half a year since the First World War between the Xiongnu and the Huns, and all the generals have long known the details.
The two emperors were good at using tactics, surprise troops, and running attacks.
The battlefield is in the desert, and he is a well-deserved famous general.
But three days is too short, right?
Besides, siege warfare is not a field battle.
The tricks of attacking in the east and the cavalry in armor are useless here.
From ancient times to the present, siege warfare is the most unscrupulous. As long as you can't alienate people's hearts, you can only fight hard.
