The three people who received Lin Ze's military order immediately resigned, intending to get acquainted with the newly acquired army as soon as possible and prepare for the next war.
A quarter of an hour after the three of them left, Han Xin came back, raised his hands to Lin Ze and said, "Meet the military advisor."
Han Xin has always been extremely cautious about battles, and this time Lin Ze entrusted him with the task of a frontal battle, which made him even more cautious.
Lin Ze's face to face today was a good opportunity for Han Xin to obtain information, so he turned back halfway.
Lin Ze didn't seem surprised that Han Xin left and returned. Instead, he asked gently: "But you want to see me if you have anything?"
Han Xin's face was calm, and he bowed to Lin Ze and said: "The military advisor is wise. I dare to ask the military advisor, what is the situation of the rebels now, and what is the situation of our army?"
Lin Ze glanced at Han Xin with admiration. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy can fight a hundred battles without danger. Collecting enough information before the war is an essential quality for heirs of military strategists.
Naturally, Lin Ze would not hide this, and said: "The rebels in the Guandong region were led by Chen She and established the four kingdoms of Zhang, Chu, Zhao, Qi, and Chu. According to reports from spies, more than a month ago, Chen She sent envoys to unite the three kingdoms.
We will march together to attack our army."
"Preliminary estimates indicate that Zhao, Qi, and Chu will each send 200,000 troops to join forces with Chen She's army. For the rebels, this battle is of great importance. Although Chen She will not take action personally, he will also send his generals.
Zhou Shi is coming with his troops."
"Except Chen She's own army, Zhang Chu's army led by Zhou Shi is expected to number 600,000, so the total number of the four-party alliance this time is about 1.2 million. Of course, the 1.2 million, except for a small number of elites, will
, the vast majority are new troops.”
"However, we are not much better. Except for the elite officers of the 700,000-strong army, the rest are young men working hard. After some rigorous training by our military advisor, they will not be weaker than the opponent."
"In addition, there are 500,000 miscellaneous troops in the pass. They were formed by a group of powerful people in the Qin Dynasty to gain military exploits. When the wind is going smoothly, they are a good helper. When the wind is going against them, they will definitely hinder us. You need to be aware of this."
Han Xin nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Then Lin Ze Youran said: "The biggest advantage of our army in this battle is that we have a batch of the best ordnance, which is difficult for the rebels to match. I believe you can make full use of this."
Han Xin's eyes flashed and he said, "I wonder what kind of results the military advisor wants?"
Lin Ze blinked slightly and said, "Are you confident that you can control it?"
Han Xin showed an extremely confident smile on his face and said: "It's just a bunch of chickens and dogs, there's nothing you can't control."
Lin Ze said decisively: "My military advisor has only one request: defeat them."
Han Xin was a smart man and immediately understood what Lin Ze meant, which was to defeat rather than annihilate. Moreover, this was the only requirement, so he only needed to defeat him.
Han Xin nodded slightly, smiled and asked: "What happens after the defeat?"
There was a hint of a smile on Lin Ze's face and he said: "Do you know how much the powerful people secretly paid in order to gain military exploits? After the rebels are defeated, it will be their feast, and our military advisor does not want to stop them.
A deadly feud."
"However, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven. It would be a pity if they died at the hands of the rebels."
Han Xin's face was stern, he cupped his hands and said: "I understand what to do."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Do everything according to your ability. If it is not controllable, you can do whatever you want. I will never blame you. Of course, if it can be done, you must not let go of a few heavyweight heads."
I still hope to take it to Chang'an to receive the reward."
Han Xin nodded slightly: "I understand, I will resign."
Lin Ze waved his hand and let him leave.
Han Xin walked out of Lin Ze's yard and let out a breath of turbid air. There was still a trace of fear on his face. He had just secretly used the military secret method to spy on Lin Ze, trying to detect the opponent's martial arts cultivation. But the moment the secret method was activated, there was a big feeling.
The feeling of impending disaster came to mind.
If he hadn't used his strong will to forcibly cut off the secret method and control himself not to show any abnormality, the outcome would have been unpredictable.
A military advisor is never a soft-hearted person.
…
Inside Hangu Pass, Lin Ze was still absorbing nutrients and maintaining his steady transformation.
Suddenly, a man wearing black clothes and holding a token hurriedly walked into Lin Ze's yard, knelt in front of Lin Ze and said: "Commander Qi, news came from the front line that we encountered a rebel vanguard army four hundred miles away.
About 100,000 people are marching normally and are expected to arrive at the pass in four days to ask the commander to make a decision."
Lin Ze raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Well, are you finally here? Stand up and tell me carefully about the movements of other rebels."
The man in black stood aside and told all the news.
After a while, Lin Ze raised his head and said outside: "Whoever comes, please notify General Han and ask him to come over."
Standing in Linze Courtyard, a group of guards were on standby, and one of them turned around and left.
Soon, Han Xin, who was wearing armor, came to Lin Ze, bowed his hands and said, "I wonder why the military advisor called me here?"
Lin Ze pointed at the man in black standing aside and said: "The spies have sent news that the rebel vanguard has been found four hundred miles away, numbering 100,000 people. There is no sign of other rebels yet. The next thing is left to you."
Han Xin pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates will prepare now."
With Lin Ze's acquiescence, Han Xin left, and then there was a commotion among the troops in the pass. One hundred thousand troops took three days of rations and left the pass without knowing their whereabouts.
…
In Zhao Di, Mianchi, a military general with a full beard looked irritably to the west and asked his subordinates: "How far is our army from Hangu Pass now?"
The general looked at the unhappy look on his immediate superior's face and said cautiously: "General Qi, according to the map, our army is now less than two hundred miles away from Hangu Pass."
The bearded military general said with a bad expression: "So, if the army wants to attack us and march in a hurry, they can get there from Hangu Pass in just one day?"
General Pian said bravely: "That's true."
General Beard snorted coldly: "I don't know what Marshal Zhou is thinking. Our army has millions of people, so why worry about not being able to conquer Hangu Pass? What's the point of putting us here as bait?"
Zhang Jiang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he did not dare to answer. Neither the boss in front of him nor Zhou Shi, who was deeply trusted by the king, was someone he could offend.
The bearded military general vented a few words casually. Feeling a little bored, he summoned the scouts and asked: "Is there any movement among the officers and soldiers?"
The military prince shook his head and said: "General Qi, no trace of the officers and soldiers has been found within a hundred miles."
There was a trace of disdain on the bearded face and he said: "It seems that the officers and soldiers have made up their minds to hide in Hangu Pass, and Zhou Shi's plan has failed."
"Come here, let's prepare a banquet. We're going to have a great time tonight."
The general looked shocked and quickly advised: "General, our army is a decoy, so we should be particularly vigilant. Don't drink and cause trouble!"
The bearded general looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice: "You want to stop me?"
The general took a step back and said with a flattering face: "Sir, drinking alcohol during war is a taboo. If the general wants to drink, how about a few days later?"
The bearded general looked at the side general and said in a cold tone: "I heard that you have a close relationship with Zhou Shi, so you deliberately want to make things difficult for me."
The partial general argued repeatedly: "The last general doesn't have it, the last general doesn't dare."
The bearded military general smiled coldly: "You don't dare? The scouts haven't seen the army for a hundred miles, and it's a banquet at night. There is almost no risk of being attacked. You still stop me, do you dare? Come on, I'm here to tease the disobedient rebel. General
Hang it up and hang it on the camp gate to correct military law."
The general was shocked and said: "General, please forgive me, I never meant this."
The bearded general turned a deaf ear and allowed his guards to drag him away, hang him up, and hang him at the entrance of the camp?
The general couldn't bear the humiliation and fainted forcibly.
At night, the bearded military general sent someone to invite the other four generals to a banquet. After learning that a colleague was hung at the camp gate and humiliated, the other generals did not dare to refuse, so they had to pretend to be happy and go to the banquet. Soon, the five people picked up the wine bottles and you
We walked back and forth and got very drunk.
At midnight, countless black shadows appeared and moved toward the camp.
