More than 50,000 people in Zhao's territory had died under the butcher's knife, which greatly stimulated the commander-in-chief Zhao Kuo.
When he sent someone to tell Lian Po what he knew about the situation, Lian Po soon sent a reply. Lian Po first comforted Zhao Kuo not to get angry. Bai Qi obviously wanted to provoke you and ask you to do this.
Misjudgment was made. In addition, if the Qin people withdrew from Zhao, they would probably rush to Hanoi to fight against Wei. They wanted to defeat Wei first and then Zhao.
I have to admit that if the Wei people really send troops to Hanoi, then Bai Qi will be in great danger. Most of the Qin people he brought out this time are from Hanoi. If nothing else, if Hanoi falls, it will be very dangerous for the Qin army.
The blow to morale was huge, not to mention that Wei State could directly cut off the Danshui and besiege Bai Qi in Zhao. But when the news spread from Bai Qi, Zhao Kuo was afraid to make a judgment easily.
If Bai Qi deliberately let himself think this way, was he actually trying to lure Zhao Jun into attacking?
For a time, Zhao Kuo was unable to issue military orders.
He was angry for the people who died in vain, but he was also worried about the people behind him. In the original history, after Zhao Kuo failed, the State of Zhao did not perish. But now, the Qin people are not far away from Handan.
If he failed, Handan would definitely fall and the Zhao Kingdom would be destroyed. Zhao Kuo was not worried about the demise of the Zhao Kingdom. He was worried that the millions of Zhao people behind him would be ruthlessly killed like the people of Handan County.
The army's food and grass are being consumed rapidly. In winter, food is consumed faster. Before sowing in spring, if the war is not over, there will be a huge famine in the Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Kuo is like being struck by countless invisible sharp blades at the same time.
Surrounded by everyone, no matter where he went, he might get stabbed. After thinking about it all day in the camp, Zhao Kuo finally made a decision.
He ordered General Lian Po to lead 30,000 soldiers to leave Pingyang and head towards Anyang. Anyang is a very important city with a strategic location. He connects Handan, Zhongmou and Huangcheng and is an important transportation hub in Handan County.
The road is also the only way for merchants in Hanoi to pass through. This city was previously captured by the Qin people, and the scouts sent to explore it were already a little crazy when they came back.
He saw a dead city, which was originally the favorite resting place of merchants. Now it was covered with flesh and blood. The poor scout could not sleep peacefully for a night and was already a little mentally disturbed. After three days, he
To die, he stabbed himself in the abdomen with a dagger.
Anyang is not too far from Boyang and Pingyang, and these two cities are under the control of Zhao State. Zhao Kuo can rescue Lian Po in time. At the same time, General Lian Po is currently the most capable general of Zhao State.
, it was up to him to explore the Qin people's true and false status. Even if he encountered Bai Qi, he was unlikely to end up with the entire army destroyed. At the same time, Zhao Kuo sent two generals to replace General Lian Po and be responsible for supplementing Pingyang's army.
troops.
At the same time, Boyang's garrison was ordered to leave the city, and scouts were sent out to contact General Lian Po at all times, so that General Lian Po could not be left alone.
In the direction of Wu'an, Zhao Kuo ordered Tian Yue to lead five thousand soldiers to Shecheng, and Li Mu followed. Tian Yue, a general, was cautious. In normal times, his overly cautious character might not be a good thing, but in this kind of temptation
, this general is the perfect choice.
After deploying the two-wing attack, Zhao Kuo decided to transfer his headquarters from the Zhang Great Wall to Wucheng. Wucheng was a very small city with not many soldiers stationed, but it was far away from General Lian Po.
Closer, at the same time, he sent scouts to Handan City, hoping that Handan could provide him with information about the Wei people, and sent people to warn the Wei people that Bai Qi was likely to ambush them.
At the end of the first lunar month, Zhao State sent troops to two places. The morale of the soldiers was high, and there was no trace of fear. Perhaps it was the arrival of Ma Fujun or the great victory of Wu'an that made them particularly excited, and even looked forward to the victory earlier.
When he met the Qin people, he killed them with his own hands. Lian Po was arrogant, but he had no intention of looking down on Bai Qi. After leaving Pingyang, he sent scouts everywhere to constantly explore the situation ahead and marched very slowly.
As for Tian Yue in Wu'an, it is even more exaggerated. After several days of marching, he has not yet left the vicinity of the Great Wall.
However, their caution made Zhao Kuo feel at ease a lot.
Nowadays, this humble military city has become the most important hub of the entire Zhao army. Countless scouts come in and out of the city gate every day, some to deliver orders, and some to bring the latest situation. Zhao Kuo is here
After integrating into the identity of the commander of the entire army, he became extremely busy. The information he needed to know every day occupied his entire day. During this period, he had to send military orders and be responsible for the affairs of the entire army. Zhao
Kuo couldn't even find time to eat.
After a few days of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't bear it anymore, so he called in all the literate guests who stayed with him and ordered them not to go out or have contact with the soldiers. What they need to do every day is to stay in the mansion.
Helping Zhao Kuo sort out the intelligence and drafting military orders was also regarded as a "staff office" formed by Zhao Kuo. In the past, he sent his disciples to accompany Le Yi, and Le Yi taught a lot to these people.
Although they could not provide useful suggestions to Zhao Kuo, they could share a lot of Zhao Kuo's work pressure.
While issuing military orders, Zhao Kuo discovered another important problem in Zhao's country. Zhao Kuo's generals were seriously deficient. Zhao Kuo was not talking about low-level generals, but senior generals like Du Wei who could lead troops alone.
After Zhao Kuo, an officer, deployed his troops in various places, this problem came to light. At present, Zhao Kuo felt that only Lian Po, Li Mu, and Tian Yue were the only three people who could take on big responsibilities...
If Zhao Kuo is just a general commanding tens of thousands of people, it doesn't matter. When attacking, he only needs to raise the flag and let these generals attack according to their own ideas. But now, he is a general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.
, large-scale group operations, Zhao Kuo had no way to command them one by one. Fortunately, while inheriting this body, he had studied the art of war for twenty years and was also inherited by Zhao Kuo. Otherwise, these hundreds of thousands of group armies would have been
It collapsed because of Zhao Kuo's random command.
In early February, Lian Po marched into Anyang, but was still not attacked by the Qin people.
At the same time, Tian Yue also approached She, but no trace of the Qin people was found around him.
Bai Qi either withdrew Shangdang or went to attack Wei's soldiers. Zhao Kuo no longer hesitated and sent out the entire Zhao army. Lian Po led 30,000 troops to the direction of Zhongmou, while Zhao Kuo personally led 100,000 rear troops to serve as Lian Po.
With considerable support, he climbed over the Great Wall and marched forward to set up camp step by step. Li Mu then sent troops to Wu'an and led 20,000 elite troops to rush to She. He then joined forces with Tian Yue and fought in the direction of Lucheng.
Zhao Kuo chose to attack in a carpet-like manner, which shows his fear of encirclement and annihilation.
Hanoi County, Hoang Chi County
Lord Xinling walked inside the city. The heavily armed Wei soldiers were kicking open the gates of the courtyards, looking at the trembling Qin people, looking for traces of the enemy. Wei Wuji was surrounded by corpses everywhere, and the corpses were neatly buried.
Lined up on both sides of the road, and the dilapidated houses were burning with blazing flames. This flame made the entire county become a lot hotter. The people's screams for mercy, and the blood flowing on the ground, could not stop Wei Wuji.
Step down.
He took his soldiers and walked into the county magistrate's mansion.
He curiously looked at the surrounding arrangements, and while he was watching, suddenly a general came in, bowed to Wei Wuji and saluted, and then said: "All those who resisted have been killed." This sentence represents the Qin people's Huang.
Chi County officially fell into the hands of the Wei people. When the army entered Hanoi County, Wei Wuji proposed to Jin Bi that they split their troops and attack Hanoi County from two directions, because most of the soldiers in Hanoi County had been transferred to Shangdang
The battlefield is strangely empty.
And dividing your troops is the fastest way to occupy various places.
However, what Wei Wuji did not expect was that the resistance from Hanoi was quite large. Hanoi was originally the land of the Wei State. He never thought that one day when he regained his territory, he would need to kill the people in this land.
Wei Wuji did not show mercy to the people. In order to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, he used all means to conquer these cities one by one and bloodbathed the Qin people in the city.
Like the Koreans in Shangdang County and the Zhao people in Handan County, the Qin people in Hanoi County also ushered in such a day.
