Bai Qi stood on the bank of Shaoshui, his deep gaze passing through the layers of clouds and mist, and fell to the other end of the mountain range.
That's Changping.
Suddenly, Bai Qi turned around and heard the rapid sound of horse hooves not far away.
Not long after, a horse came galloping from a distance. After seeing Bai Qi, he quickly got off his horse and saluted Bai Qi.
"General, a messenger has arrived from Xianyang."
Bai Qi was a little surprised. According to his expectation, King Qin would not send him out so soon. Could there be other circumstances happening?
Bai Qi strode towards the courtyard where he lived.
Wang Lu was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. There was a eunuch standing next to him. When they saw Bai Qi, smiles appeared on their faces. The eunuch saluted Bai Qi: "I have met Lord Wu An."
Even though he represented the King of Qin, he did not dare to look coldly at Bai Qi. Only the people of Qin knew how many people Bai Qi had killed.
Bai Qi nodded slightly as a response.
The envoy straightened up his back, took out the edict, and preached: "I would like to worship Lord Wu An as a general. I hope that Lord Wu An can relieve the country's worries, command the Qin army, send troops to Changping, and attack the State of Zhao."
Bai Qi just bowed slightly: "No."
The envoy was not angry either, so he handed the edict to Bai Qi and went down to rest.
After leaving the courtyard, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, he always felt uncomfortable all over when he stood in front of Bai Qi.
Wang Hao walked over excitedly and said happily: "General, I can finally fight with you again."
He rushed back from Light Wolf City just to witness this moment.
Wang Hao admires Bai Qi very much and trusts Bai Qi even more than himself. In his opinion, as long as he follows Bai Qi, he can always win.
In fact, it is indeed the case!
"General, I will wear armor for you." Wang Hao excitedly ran into the house and took out Bai Qi's armor.
Wearing armor is very cumbersome. Under normal circumstances, it is worn by close disciples for the master, or by wives and concubines for their husbands who are on an expedition.
Bai Qi was named Lord Wu'an, but he had no followers, his wife had been dead for many years, and his only son was still in the army.
Only Wang Hao can personally put on the armor for his idol.
Bai Qi did not refuse. He looked forward and stretched out his arms.
This is a complete set of battle armor, exclusive to Bai Qi, divided into six parts: helmet, shoulder panels, battle armor, chest protector, battle skirt, and combat boots.
When Sima Cuo killed a transcendent rhinoceros in Longxi, King Ji of Qin ordered its skin to be made into three sets of armor, which were given to the three most famous generals of Qin: Bai Qi, Sima Cuo and Wei Ran.
Bai got up and put on his military uniform and stood there, looking straight ahead. There seemed to be countless battlefields fighting in the cave.
At this moment, Wang Hao felt that the temperature around him dropped instantly, and he fell into the cold winter.
Bai Qi held the hilt of the sword at his waist and stepped out of the courtyard step by step.
…
"Based on my understanding of Bai Qi, if he really takes command, he will definitely aim to annihilate our army. In front of Bai Qi, there are no winners and losers, only the dead and the living.
Our army has an army of 400,000, and the Qin army has about 600,000. Although the Qin army is half more than ours, our army is the defender. Under normal circumstances, let alone total annihilation, even encirclement cannot be achieved. If you want to completely annihilate
, we can only rely on geographical location.”
Tian Dan pointed to the Dan Shui on the map and said.
"In the original battle of Yinque, Bai Qi avoided the real and attacked the weak. He was weak at first and then strong. He led the main force of the Qin army to the rear of the Korean and Wei coalition forces, cut off the food and grass supplies of the two countries, surrounded the Korean and Wei coalition forces in Yinque, and finally annihilated the Han and Wei forces in one battle.
140,000 coalition troops."
"In the battle of Huayang, Bai Qi took him by surprise and attacked him unprepared. He traveled a hundred miles a day and marched in a hurry for eight days to reach the rear of Wei. He took advantage of the battle between Han and Wei to launch an attack and annihilated 130,000 Wei troops. Then he defeated our Zhao army.
"
"I speculate that Bai Qi will use the same method this time."
"If I were Bai Qi, I would definitely find a way to attract our army into the Danshui River Valley." Tian Dan pointed to the two valleys to the north and south of Changping City.
"The terrain of the North Danshui River Valley is narrow, but to the north is the Baili Stone Great Wall where our army is stationed. It is unlikely that the Qin army would choose this place. The terrain of the South Danshui River Valley is wider and more difficult to annihilate, but it is far away from Baili.
The Great Stone Wall is further away and is more beneficial to the Qin army."
"As long as the Qin army lures our army into it, it only takes 100,000 people to seal both ends of the valley. No matter how many people there are in the valley, they will not be able to escape. They can even build a dam upstream to flood the army."
Tian Dan said slowly, his voice making everyone feel chilly.
If it is true that Tian Dan said that Zhao Jun was led into the Danshui River Valley, even the gods might not be able to save him.
Zhao Kuo didn't know how Bai Qi defeated Zhao Kuo in history, but he felt that what Tian Dan said was probably correct.
"Of course, we don't rule out Bai Qi choosing Beidanshui River Valley. After all, the terrain advantage is more obvious." Tian Dan added.
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Kuo asked immediately.
"If the Qin army is an ordinary commander, our army can use Danshui to lure the Qin army to take the bait. However, the Qin army is commander-in-chief Bai Qi... send people to defend the Bailishi Great Wall and the eldest son, and ensure that the way back is clear first."
Tian Dan said.
"If you want to defeat Bai Qi, you can only unite with other countries. Zhao Guo alone may not be able to do it." Le Yi said.
Lian Po said nothing, obviously acquiescing.
"The king has sent two waves of envoys to ask for help, but no country is willing to send troops."
Zhao Kuo sighed.
The three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu have been frightened by Qin. Qi has enmity with Zhao. Yan and Qin have always worn the same pants, so it would be nice if they don't stab each other in the back.
Moreover, for the other five countries, it is in the best interest to sit on the sidelines and wait for the world's largest country and the second largest country to suffer losses. How could they easily help Zhao?
Historically, no country sent troops to help Zhao in the Battle of Changping.
It was not until the Battle of Handan that Zhao was in danger of being destroyed, so Wei and Chu sent troops to rescue him.
"When General Lian Po commanded the army, the king sent envoys Zheng Zhu to Qin to negotiate peace. Qin received the envoys cordially and ordered the Qin army to strengthen military preparations. It also publicized to other countries that Qin and Zhao had reconciled.
Other countries really believe this and will no longer send troops to help Zhao."
"Unless huge profits are promised, or our country encounters disaster, I'm afraid the five countries will not send troops," Liu Ping said.
"Our army is running out of food and grass. Handan has now begun to send wheat and bean sprouts..." Lian Po did not continue.
But everyone understood what he meant - there was no food in Handan.
"Okay, you all go back, I'll think about it again." Zhao Kuo waved his hand impatiently.
I called you here to tell you how to defeat Bai Qi, not to tell you how powerful Bai Qi is.
Zhao Kuo felt a little irritable.
Several people looked at each other and retreated silently, leaving only Zhao Kuo alone.
Zhao Kuo looked at the map hanging on the wall and thought about Bai Qi's possible attack routes, how many troops he would send, how he should respond, how many people he would send to defend or counterattack...
Half an hour later, Zhao Kuo violently overturned the table to the ground and walked outside with a decadent face...
