Competing

Chapter 486 Li Zuoche

Xing, meaning the place in the middle of the mountains!
The Taihang Mountains lie between the east and the north, and the high mountains rise up. It is undoubtedly very difficult to cross the mountains between the two places, and the road to the end is difficult.

Therefore, there has always been hope for a convenient passage between the two places, so after continuous exploration, some places where some rocks in the mountains are broken can be easily found by everyone, thus becoming a convenient way.

There are eight Xings in the Taihang Mountains, Jingxing is one of them, and Jingxingkou is the key pass of this convenient road.

Since ancient times, Jingxingkou has been known as the fifth of the eight Xings of the Taihang, and the sixth of the Nine Forts in the World, which shows the criticality and importance of Jingxingkou.

It is precisely because of this that Jingxingkou is not only a convenient way for people to communicate, but also a place that military strategists must contend for during the war years.Starting from the land of Hedong to conquer the area of ​​Zhao State, Jingxingkou is almost a must pass.

After listening to Zhang Er's introduction, Han Xin became more confident, and he already had a preliminary plan for the battle of the Zhao Kingdom.Now that Zhang Er has come to introduce more information, it is also a great help and supplement for me.

Guan Ying said: "Isn't there a total of eight passages in the mountain? We don't have to choose this place?"

Zhang Er shook his head and said: "That's true, but the road at Jingxingkou directly connects the two places. The pass is where the main area of ​​Zhao State is located, and it is also the direction where the main forces of Zhao State are located. Now that the Chu and Han Dynasties in the Central Plains have begun, Marshal Han must have conquered Zhao. China's plans also need to be accelerated, so a quick solution is still necessary.

If you choose to attack from other places, the distance of action of the Han army will be greatly increased, and it will undoubtedly become an expedition of labor, which is not very beneficial to us.Moreover, the strength of the Han army in Hedong is less than that of Zhao, so the strategy and surprise are more important in this battle.The longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation of the Han army, so Jingxingkou is undoubtedly the best choice. As long as you pass through here and directly start a fierce battle with the main force of the Zhao army, the battle of Zhao will be more than half won. "

Han Xin nodded secretly. After all, this ear has some talents. He saw the current situation facing Han and also saw the disadvantages of his army, so he proposed the necessity of a quick battle.Han Xin really thinks so. If he adopts conventional thinking and methods, how can he calm down the princes of Hebei as soon as possible with the [-] troops in his hands?

A quick battle will consume the least food and soldiers, and it will save a lot of time.More importantly, Han Xin wanted to deter the princes in Zhao's affairs, improve morale and his own prestige.If you want to develop, personal prestige is still very important.

Zhang Er continued: "Zhao Guo may also be careless, and may think that the Han army would not dare to march directly from Jingxingkou. In this way, we will have a feeling of surprise, and we will win strategically. Even Later they knew that our army was marching from now on, and it was just right to mobilize the army.

This happens to coincide with our idea of ​​wanting a quick battle. The relatively large number of Zhao Jun will also make them feel arrogant and arrogant.The more the enemy despises us, we have the opportunity to catch him by surprise! "

Han Xin nodded slightly, and said, "General Zhang Er is right, so what about Li Zuoche?"

Guan Ying is also quite interested in this, and Jingxingkou is undoubtedly a key point for Zhao Guo to pay attention to.But in terms of people, Zhang Er didn't mention Zhao Wangxie, nor his former friend and current enemy Chen Yu, but Li Zuoche.Being able to make Zhang Er attach so much importance shows that there must be something extraordinary about Li Zuoche!
Zhang Erdao: "Li Zuoche has an unusual status in the State of Zhao. The first point is his origin. This man's grandfather is Li Mu, the famous general of the State of Zhao in the past!"

Li Mu is considered prestigious in this era, and his influence is still very significant.Although it has been dead for decades, there is still an inexplicable shock in everyone's mind when people mention it.

The four famous generals of the Warring States Period, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Lian Po, and Li Mu!
This is an era of constant wars, there are so many battles, and there are many generals.Being able to rank among the top four players in the past few hundred years is enough to show how powerful Li Mu is.

The Huns on the grassland are so powerful, they once harassed the northern border of Zhao State, and there is no peace.But when Li Mu was guarding Yanmen, he defeated the Xiongnu, and the Huns were no opponents of Zhao State at all.Later, in the war against other countries in the Warring States Period, Li Mu played an even greater role.

Especially after Lian Po's death, Li Mu became the pillar of Zhao State.The reason why the Qin State at that time was unable to conquer the battered Zhao State was precisely because of the existence of Li Mu.The Qin army was unable to capture the Zhao country for a long time, and the Qin people had no choice but to resort to the frequently used countermeasures.

He bribed Zhao's courtiers to claim in front of Zhao Wang that Li Mu had the heart of disobedience and wanted to surrender to Qin.Poor King Zhao actually believed some clumsy countermeasures, killed Li Mu, and destroyed the Great Wall himself.As soon as Li Mu died, the Zhao army could no longer stop the Qin army's attack, and finally Handan fell and Zhao State perished.

It is for this reason that Li Mu has a lofty status among the people of the State of Zhao, and is deeply respected and missed by the people of the Warring States Period.Now that his grandson has come back, he has received more attention from many people.Therefore, Li Zuoche has a high prestige among the people of the state of Zhao, and Zhao Wang Xie named him Guangwu Lord, which means to make up for it!

Han Xin nodded inwardly. Li Mu's grandson, of course, has a special status, so he has to take it seriously.

Zhang Erdao: "Of course, many famous generals and descendants of famous officials seem to have prominent identities, but many of them have empty names. But Li Zuoche is not like this. Left chariot to Li Mu, just like Wang Ben is to Wang Jian, it is really the inheritance of the famous sword family."

This is also what Han Xin cares about the most. He doesn't care how powerful a person's background is, and it doesn't have much practical effect.What matters more is his actual ability. In actual combat, the quality of the general directly determines the outcome of the war.

Zhang Er continued: "Among Zhao's monarchs and ministers, there are only four people worth mentioning, Zhao Wangxie, Chen Yu, Li Zuoche, and the former Prime Minister Xia Shuo! Zhao Wangxie was just a coincidence. With the status of a descendant of the Zhao royal family, he was appointed king at that time in order to stabilize the situation in Zhao, but in fact he is mediocre, so there is nothing to worry about!"

Speaking of this matter, Zhang Er's mood is also quite complicated. It can be said that Zhao Wangxie was the one who helped him to the throne.In the end, it ended up like this, the two became enemies to each other, facing each other with swords and swords, it was really embarrassing for this moment and that moment.Because of the position of King Changshan, Zhao Wang Xien avenged his revenge, and his friend Chen Yu also broke with him completely. How should this matter be said?

Han Xin understood Zhang Er's mood at this time, and comforted him with gentle words: "The matter is over, and this matter can be said to be a tragedy caused by Xiang Yu. But Zhao Wangxie, Chen Yu and others also care too much about power and status, and they are quite cold." Bo, it can be regarded as revenge for the general. But in a short time, the general will be able to avenge his shame with this commander!"

From Han Xin's point of view, of course he wanted to win Zhang Er to his side as much as possible.Let him serve him sincerely, not just for the battle of Zhao Guo, Han Xin also has more far-reaching plans.He has his own ambitions and plans, but he lacks enough people around him.It is not difficult for ordinary soldiers to recruit, but it is not easy to gather some insightful people and talented generals.

In Han Xin's view, Zhang Er's coming to seek refuge this time is just an opportunity.Although Zhang Er was acquainted with Liu Bang in the past, after all, it is a long time ago, and he has not yet had the opportunity to contact Liu Bang.If I try my best to draw him to my side, it is naturally a very good thing.

Although today is the first time we met, Zhang Er's talent can be seen from his words, which is indeed extraordinary.Thinking back that he was able to become the door of Lord Xinling Wuji's mansion, and he was able to flourish in the end of Qin Dynasty, it was really extraordinary.If there is his help, why worry about the failure of the big event?It is precisely because of this consideration that Han Xin treats Zhang Er more seriously and sincerely.

Zhang Erdao: "Thank you, Marshal Han, for your concern. Let's get down to business! As for Chen Yu, he is narrow-minded. Although he has some military talents, he is timid. There was a garrison, and the last general asked him for help, but he was afraid of Zhang Han's soldiers, because he dared not go out to fight.

It was precisely because of this that the last general had a rift with him. Although a lot has passed, this matter still has an impact.Back then, it was not only the last general who had suspicions about this, but also Zhao Wangxie.Qin Jun didn't have Julu, he was almost decapitated, and one of his sons was killed in battle.As a prince, he first went to ask Chen Yu for help, but he got such treatment!It can be said that Zhao Wangxie was furious, and Chen Yuduo was dissatisfied.

Although they are together now, Zhao Wangxie still puts a lot of emphasis on Chen Yu.These are all manifestations, but Zhao Wangxie has a lot of power and uses Chen Yu!Their monarchs and ministers are not of one mind, and they still have to guard against each other.Presumably the marshal understood what the last general meant! "

Han Xin smiled lightly: "It's always a big taboo to cause trouble for Xiaoqiang. Internal discord is always a big taboo. Especially when the enemy is in the face and the two armies are facing each other, Zhao Wangxie seems to have restored Zhao's land, but in fact it is still full of risks!"

Zhang Er smiled and said: "That's right! That Xia said that although he was the Prime Minister, his talent is not very good, he just has some strengths in his tongue. The more important thing is that he used to be at the door of Chen Yu. How dare Zhao Wangxie How about using him lightly? Maybe the reuse of Xia Shuo is just to appease Chen Yu! None of this matters, the most important thing is on this Guangwu Lord Li Zuo's body!"
