Qiang Qin

Chapter 126 Respective Preparations

Updated: 2010-09-09

From winter to spring, the Qin people started to send troops to attack the Chu people as Fusu and the others said. The reason for their sending troops was very simple. The crusade against rebellion was enough for Zhang Han to go south with an army of [-]. .One hundred thousand troops, this is another large-scale military operation of the Qin State since the Bai Squad led the soldiers to fail in Chu last year. This time they are prepared to fight and are determined to win. It was much better at one time, and at the same time, after Zhang Han led his troops to leave Xianyang, he recruited tens of thousands of troops and horses in other counties and counties, so that the Chu people must be completely wiped out in this battle.

The news of the war spread quickly. When the Qin soldiers left Hangu Pass and entered Hanoi County, everyone in the world knew that the Qin people had already used troops against Chu.This time the Qin people had no intention of attacking Chu land suddenly, which would catch them off guard, and at the same time make their battle line suddenly stretched and lead to lack of succession.This is also a strategy of General Zhang Han.

When the news reached Zhao State, Zhao people felt very fortunate that the Qin people's goal was not Handan City, which would be destroyed if they stretched out their hands lightly.For this matter, Zhao Wang and Zhao Ye also formally thanked the world and ancestors. When the news came out, the people of Zhao State looked down on their great king even more.

Of course, not everyone in the country of Zhao looked at the coming of this war with a fluke mentality. At least one person was not, and that was Lian Hai, the general of the country of Zhao.At this time, he and a group of his subordinates were analyzing the possibility of the success of the Qin people's attack on Chu and the impact of their success or failure on Zhao Guo. "From my point of view, the Qin people's attack on Chu may not be as easy as other people think. After all, most of the Chu people are brave and good at fighting. Once they face the danger of destroying the country, they will definitely burst out with great strength. " A partial general said, and some generals also echoed his statement, thinking that the Qin people may not be able to take Chu land so easily.

But then there was another general who raised an objection: "But this time it was Zhang Han who led the troops. He used troops very well. In addition, these 10 troops are elite troops. It can even be said that they are the last soldiers of the Qin people." Zhang Han may not be desperate if he is not [-]% sure of his strength. I think that Zhang Han brought tens of thousands of horses and almost wiped out our country of Zhao. If Hu Hai hadn’t recruited him into Xianyang suddenly, we might all be Qin now. I am imprisoned under the rank of others." Many Zhao generals who had seen Zhang Han's power began to agree with him.For a while, there was endless debate in the hall, and each insisted on his own opinion.

"Actually, it doesn't make sense for you to argue like this." Lian Hai gestured for everyone to stop and listen to himself after they argued for a long time, "Whether the Qin people's attack on Chu is successful or not is actually beneficial to our Zhao country. What we have to do now is to find out all these interests, so that when the war is over, we can do things that are beneficial to us and minimize the harmful side.”

When everyone heard Lian Hai's words, they realized that the argument they had just had was of no benefit to Zhao Guosi, so they all looked at Lian Hai. They are all generals who lead troops and only know how to confront the enemy on the battlefield. As for things outside the battle, they are beyond their comprehension.Lian Hai also knew their details, so he simply analyzed the problem to them: "If I want to judge the battle between Qin and Chu, I also think that Qin has a great possibility of destroying Chu this time. First, Zhang Han is indeed a rare famous general. The second reason is because of the civil strife of the Chu people. Although Xiang Yu only took away 3 horses from the Chu army, the blow to the Chu army was very serious. Obviously, the king of Chu will no longer trust the Xiang family as before. This will inevitably lead to Xiang Liang not being able to do his best when he leads the army. Once the Qin people really destroy the Chu State, the good thing for my Zhao State is that last year we helped Qi break Chu's enemies and people came to us Reported, but at the same time, we also have to prevent Zhang Han from launching an offensive against our Zhao country with the defeated army."

When the generals heard this, their faces changed a little. Now there are only [-] soldiers in Handan City. Once the Qin people really attack with victory, Zhao Guo will not be able to compete with Qin in terms of momentum and strength.Seeing everyone's reaction, Lian Hai smiled and said, "Don't panic, everyone. As long as we attack Qin's rear before Qin's final victory, even if they can destroy Chu, they will suffer heavy losses, so they can't deal with me again. The country uses soldiers. And once Chu wins Qin, it may make the Qin people look bad, and Zhang Han may lead the army to destroy our Zhao country, so that he will not end this expedition with a complete failure."

"So in my opinion, the most beneficial result for our Zhao country is that Qin and Chu will lose both sides. Qin Fa will destroy Chu, but at the same time, it will wipe out all the main forces of Chu. Take the opportunity to get rid of the defeated Qin people first, and then take advantage of Chu Li to take care of his territory. Of course, this is not what we said will happen, this requires us to make corresponding responses according to the situation on the battlefield .Fortunately, my position in Zhao State is the closest to Chu, so I can respond in a timely manner that is beneficial to us.” So Zhao people, led by Lian Hai, began their wait-and-see, and were always ready to respond from the war between the two countries. seek their own interests.

Zhao State's ally, Qi State, does not have as many little Jiujiu as them. Since the last time Chu people attacked Qi and caused a lot of Qi people's deaths and injuries, Qi State has been in a slump. Now they really hope that Qin State can completely destroy Chu State. Take revenge for yourself.The people of Qi also had no intention of seeking their own interests by taking advantage of this battle between Qin and Chu. This is also related to the way Qi has always been established.They have always wanted to live a comfortable life in the east, and no matter how fierce the battle in the Central Plains is, it will have nothing to do with them.This kind of thinking has both good and bad. The good side is that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period, the national power of Qi State has always been above all other countries in the world, the people are rich, and the society is stable. Just looking at his own one-acre three-point land, when Qin finally eliminated the other five countries, Qi was also destroyed by Qin.Now Qi State is still watching the war between Qin and Chu with the thought that no one will offend me, and I will not offend others. At the same time, they hope that Qin can help them destroy Chu.

This is not because the people of Qi are not as far-sighted as the people of Zhao, but because of their respective situations.Although the state of Zhao was almost destroyed by Qin, it was already a few years ago. Now that the Zhao people have recovered, they need some cities to redevelop. This is why the Zhao people will eventually send troops to help Qi defeat Chu. one of the reasons.The people of Qi have just suffered a serious injury, and they are still unable to develop outwards.At the same time, because the people of Qi are located in the farthest east, the distance from the people of Qin is the farthest, which also makes them not have the same pain as the people of Zhao. For them, the threat of Chu State is greater than that of Qin State.

This has led to completely different ideas and practices between Qi and Zhao.

However, General Zhao Lianhai still made a mistake in saying one sentence. Today, the world can know the changes in the battlefield as quickly as possible, not the Zhao people, but Fusu and the others far to the north.Now there is a silk book placed in front of Fusu and the generals.After everyone looked at it, Fusu asked for advice: "This makes me not understand why Zhang Han's army stopped going south after arriving in Hanoi County, but kept fighting there. Could it be that even the gates of Dongjun County Will Qin Bing use all his strength?"

Meng Tian and Han Xin were discussing something while staring at the map, only Zhang Liang was still looking at the information sent before.After summarizing all the information, Zhang Liang let out a sigh of relief and said, "I think I already know the reason why the Qin army stopped in Hanoi County. He used the strategy of attacking Guo with false roads. The reason for stopping the army in Hanoi is to find It is an appropriate time to take Handan of Zhao State in one fell swoop."

"Since he was ordered to attack the state of Chu, why did he attack the state of Zhao in such a way? Although the destruction of the state of Zhao is a great achievement, Handan is not so easy to win. When the time comes, the army will be damaged. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Chu." Chen Ping obviously hadn't figured out what Zhang Liang was thinking, so he couldn't help asking.

"Mr. Zhang is really talented, and I discussed with General Han for a long time before I realized the problem, but you explained it right away." Meng Tian had finished discussing with Han Xin at this time, and interjected, "After my analysis with General Han, This Hanoi County is the most suitable for stationing troops to attack Handan County, and Zhao people must not have imagined that the Qin army would spend a lot of troops to attack him before attacking Chu. .”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "I don't see Zhang Han's intentions from the location, but from the Zhao people's point of view. Judging from this information, the Zhao people have begun to pay attention to the Qin-Zhao war, and are even ready to learn from it. Benefits. Since we have all noticed this, Zhang Han should also be aware of it. Naturally, he will not let the trick of the Zhao people succeed, so he simply raided Handan when the Zhao people were not prepared, and got rid of this trouble. Moreover, Zhang Han must still be worried about not being able to wipe out the Zhao country in one go that day, so of course he will not let go of such a good opportunity this time."

"Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, it seems that the Zhao people are doomed this time." Fusu said, "I don't know what benefits we can get from it?"

"Now that we have known the purpose of the Qin army earlier, we can evacuate the people we arranged in Zhao State to avoid unnecessary losses. This is our greatest benefit." Chen Ping laughed.

"It seems that's all there is to it. I just hope that the battle between Qin and Chu will come soon, and it's time to settle the feud between Hu Hai and me. Moreover, the Zhao people have repeatedly ambushed men and horses in my Shangjun city back then. It is time for them to try their tricks." It's like a trick." Fusu said with excitement in his eyes, he unconsciously thought of Li Heng's betrayal that day.
