Competing

Chapter 490
Generalissimo Han Xin led the army to attack the State of Zhao. When the news came to the camp of the State of Zhao in Jingxingkou, there was an uproar!
Zhao Wangxie was a little panicked. Just now he was talking about whether the Han army would attack Zhao Guo?Immediately after receiving the news that Han Xin sent troops.The Han army came really too fast!

Although he had an army of 11, which was almost three times that of the Han army, Zhao Wangxie, who was still full of confidence, was still a little inexplicably restless for some reason.After all, Han Xin's prestige is there, and the destruction of Yong Wang Zhanghan and Western Wei Wang Wei Bao is imminent.Han Xin, the young marshal, can't help but make people a little frightened.

Li Zuoche was also moved in his heart, but his mood was not quite the same as that of Zhao Wangxie.His emphasis on Han Xin is more of a strategic emphasis, or mutual appreciation among famous generals, rather than fear.After receiving the news that Han Xin sent Guan Ying to rescue Zhang Er, Li Zuoche believed that this was the beginning of Han Xin's military strategy for Zhao.Although Zhao Wangxie, Chen Yu, Xia Shuo and others disdain him, and even despise him a little bit, Li Zuoche still pays enough attention to him.

What Li Zuoche didn't expect was that Han Xin's movements were so fast, and Zhang Er launched an attack in such a short period of time just after responding to Zhang Er.It seems that Han Xin got something from Zhang Er. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, Han Xin must have a detailed understanding of Zhao Guo from Zhang Er, but how much does Zhao Guo know about the Han army?

At the same time, it can be seen that Han Xin wants to make a quick decision!These were Li Zuoche's first two thoughts.Judging from the overall situation of the Han army, the battle in the Xingyang area put great pressure on Liu Bang, so Han Xin's battle in the Hebei area must be accelerated in order to relieve Liu Bang's pressure and win more opportunities for the Han army.

Therefore, Han Xin must speed up the attack on Zhao Guo. More than that, Han Xin only has a mere [-] troops, and the food, grass and logistical support in Hedong County are not smooth.If it is delayed for a long time and enters a protracted battle, the Han army will fall into a very passive situation in the long run.So Han Xin made such a choice, in Li Zuoche's view, there is really no other way.Han Xin also has his last resort, but his preparations may not be incomplete.But what he was curious about was, why did Han Xin have such confidence, and how would he win this battle?Judging from the current situation, the Han army does not seem to be in an advantage.

However, Han Xin was always good at making surprise attacks, so Li Zuoche dared not take it lightly, and at the same time, he was thinking of some good countermeasures.However, when Han Xin personally sent troops, Li Zuoche couldn't help feeling a little excited.To be honest, as a descendant of a famous general and master of military art, he is eager to try, and really wants to meet this famous young marshal!
But all of this is not what you think in your heart, you can do it, whether there is this opportunity... Li Zuoche looked at the opposite side, first glanced at Zhao Wangxie who was in the main seat, and then his eyes fell on Chen Yu who was opposite .

When Chen Yu heard the news, he was also a little shocked. He also didn't expect the Han army to come so quickly.At the beginning, there was still a trace of inexplicable fear in my heart!But after a second thought, he calmed down. After all, he had just defeated Zhang Er, and he was quite complacent about the achievement of destroying Changshan Kingdom. Then he thought that the big enemy Zhang Er was rescued by Han Xin, and now is a good opportunity to take revenge.Zhao's army has 11 people, and Han Xin leads only [-] troops, and some of them are the newly reorganized Wei Army. The combat effectiveness can be imagined. How can Zhao Jun be the opponent?
Chen Yu smiled slightly, his expression much calmer, but his eyeballs kept rolling.What Chen Yu thought about was not how to deal with Han Xin, but what this battle between Han and Zhao would bring him?Han Xin led the army to attack, and Zhao Wangxie had to rely on him to fight, so his status in Zhao State would be improved.

However, there is still an important obstacle, that is Li Zuoche on the opposite side, the grandson of Li Mu.Li Zuoche's strategy of war is superior to his, it can be said that everyone in Zhao State is well known, if this battle is presided over by him... what will be the result after victory?
Zhang Er and Han Xin were not on the same level of opponents at all. Although it was a great achievement to destroy Chang Shan, it was nothing compared to defeating the attack of the Han army led by Han Xin!So this credit cannot fall into the hands of Li Zuoche no matter what!Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a coldness flashed through the gap!
After Zhao Wangxie stabilized his mind, he looked at the generals and courtiers below, and said: "My dear friends, Han Xin really does not know the heights of heaven and earth, and offends my great Zhao Tianwei! The Han army has already mobilized troops, how should my Zhao army respond? How to teach Han Xin a lesson, Tell me, everyone!"

After Zhao Wangxie gave the order, there was silence in the big tent of the Chinese army, and no one spoke!The courtiers and the general at the back looked at the two important ministers below the throne, all hesitating to speak!

Zhao Wangxie was a little helpless, his eyes swept over the faces of Chen Yu and Li Zuoche, and a complicated expression flashed across his eyes.In the end, he had a friendly face, eyes full of respect and anticipation!
"Mr. Wu An, what do you think of this Minister of War?" Zhao Wangxie asked softly.

Li Zuoche glanced at Chen Yu on the opposite side, and didn't want to speak first, but Zhao Wang had already asked, and immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I need to ask the envoy some questions!"

"Sure!" Zhao Wangxie smiled and nodded in agreement.

The envoy who reported the news took a step forward, knelt down in front of King Zhao and Li Zuoche, waiting for inquiries!
Li Zuoche asked: "Have you ever detected the attack route of the Han army?"

The envoy said respectfully: "The Han army is marching eastward from Jingxingkou!"

Jingxingkou?Everyone was a little surprised. It should not be a secret to the Han army that Zhao Guo's army and Zhao Wangxie were in Jingxingkou.That being the case, why did the Han army still attack from Jingxingkou?What is Han Xin thinking?Or what exactly does he want to see?
Could it be that he came here for King Zhao himself?It is true that the king is captured first when the thief is captured, but the 11 Zhao army cannot be ignored.However, since Xiang Yu set a record of 56 against [-], it is not uncommon to win more with less.

Li Zuoche was also shocked, and was quite puzzled by Han Xin's actions!With 11 against [-], I thought he would use a trick to launch an attack in a different way.It can be said that Li Zuoche is both looking forward to and worrying about this, but now... Han Xin is indeed surprising, perhaps for him, the biggest surprise is being well-behaved!
Could it be that Han Xin wants to directly face the 4 Zhao army with 11 people?No matter what Li Zuoche didn't believe, Han Xin would be so stupid!Leaving aside whether the tough guy army can win head-on, just taking the road of Jingxingkou is extremely risky. Didn't Han Xin notice it?With the ingenuity and military strategy of that young commander, how could it be possible?Or does he have another trick?
Li Zuoche asked suspiciously: "Are you sure, the Han army really came from Jingxingkou?"

"Yes! Our military spies have indeed found out that the Han army brigade has indeed entered Jingxingkou and is heading east!"

"Where is the number of Han troops? Is there any investigation?" As a famous general, any clues that have an impact on the battle situation cannot be ignored, so Li Zuoche asked very carefully.

"There are probably more than [-] people. The Han army in Jingxingkou can't hide and can clearly detect it!"

"Have traces of the Han army been found in other places?"

"no!"

Li Zuoche thought to himself that Han Xin had a total of 3 troops in Hedong County.Xinding, Hedong County, the situation is not stable, Han Xin naturally did not dare to come out, at least he had to leave thousands of troops to defend.In this way, the Han army can only use more than [-] troops.If there is no problem with the investigation by the spies, it means that Han Xin has transferred all his troops to Jingxingkou.

All the Han troops were within the mouth of Jingxing. Hearing such news, Li Zuoche couldn't help being excited.

What this means is self-evident, it is definitely a good opportunity to wipe out the Han army, and it is also a good opportunity to defeat Han Xin.

Li Zuoche turned around and said to Zhao Wangxie, "Your Majesty, this is a god-given opportunity, and now is a good opportunity for us to wipe out the Han army!"

Wipe out the Han army?Hearing such a statement, Zhao Wangxie was very excited.In fact, from the bottom of his heart, his most basic idea is to repel the attack and keep Zhao's current land.But if the Han army can be wiped out and Han Xin is completely defeated, then isn't the Hedong County, where the Western Wei State is located, in the pocket of Zhao State?
In this way, in the north of the great river, almost all the land except Yan State and Liaodong fell into the hands of Zhao State.The strength of the State of Zhao will truly be different from what it used to be, and it will dominate the land of Hebei, which is enough to be a powerful prince comparable to the two countries of Chu and Han.It will be able to form a four-point world situation with the Yue State in the south.Zhao Wangxie was deeply moved, and really wanted to have the extraordinary status of Yue Wang Yinxu.Zhao Guo's future will also be unlimited, Xiang Yu Liu Bang, no one is afraid!
Zhao Wangxie asked with a smile: "Mr. Wu An, is what you said true?"

Li Zuoche replied: "What you said is true! Your Majesty, all the Han troops are now in Jingxing. Jingxing is a dangerous trail in the mountains. The place is narrow. There are only two exits, the east and the west. I request to lead a troop to go around there." Behind the Han army, there is an attack from east and west, and the Han army will not be able to look at each other. We will be surrounded by Jingxing, and we will be able to catch turtles in a urn. It will not take a lot of effort to wipe out all the Han troops!"

Zhao Wangxie was moved, just now when Li Zuoche asked the envoy, he could hear clearly and knew what was going on.Although Zhao Wangxie's attainments in the art of war were shallow, he knew the basics and common sense. He knew what Li Zuoche said was true, and it was indeed an opportunity.What a temptation to wipe out the Han army!Zhao Wangxie showed an excited smile on his face.

Seeing the smile on Zhao Wangxie's face, Chen Yu's expression became a little unnatural. It would be good to wipe out the Han army!

But Li Zuoche offered advice and led the army to wipe out the Han army, which is not good, and it must not happen to him.

This is what Chen Yu is most worried about. If the great achievement of defeating Han Xin is taken away by Li Zuoche, it will be among Zhao Guo's court and army in the future.No matter how he can compare to Li Zuoche, he will gradually lose his footing.

Seeing Zhao Wang's expression, it seems that he has planned to unify Li Zuoche's suggestion!No, absolutely not!

Chen Yu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wu An's suggestion is good, but I have some other ideas to discuss with Your Majesty and colleagues!"

Zhao Wangxie frowned. Chen Yu had just killed Changshan King Zhang Er, and his credit and prestige were very high. His opinions, especially his efforts to express them, had to be taken seriously!
"Mr. Cheng An, please speak!"

Chen Yu smiled lightly, his contemptuous eyes swept over Li Zuo's car, and said with a smile: "Wu An Jun's suggestion is certainly good! But is it really necessary?"

Li Zuoche had a bad premonition in his heart, especially when he saw Chen Yu's unfriendly eyes, he felt helpless in his heart.

Everyone was whetted by Chen Yu, waiting for his next words. At the same time, they also vaguely noticed that the struggle between the two leading generals of Zhao State was becoming more and more obvious.If you want to gain a firm foothold in Zhao Guo, you have to carefully consider the issue of standing in the team.

Zhao Wangxie smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng An, is it necessary to say this?"

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Wu'an's plan is to bypass the rear of the Han army. Although there is a possibility of annihilating the enemy, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive! And if the Han army detects it, go back to Hedong with all your strength, or the defenders from Hedong will come to support Will it encircle our army instead? It is good that Lord Wu An volunteered, but he is a famous general of our great Zhao, General Li Mu loves his grandson, so how can he be easily involved in danger? So you have to be careful!"

Li Zuoche said helplessly: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng An, for your concern, but this risk is not so serious. As long as you bypass the back of the Han army, you only need to occupy the exit west of Jingxing, and you can completely block the Han army inside and catch the turtle in the urn." Everyone knows the terrain of Jingxingkou. It can be said that one man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand are not open. As long as the western exit is occupied, even if the Han army counterattacks and breaks through with all its strength, it will be useless. As for the Han army in Hedong County, there are only a few thousand People don't have to worry. This time is a god-given opportunity, it would be a pity to miss it!"

"Hey! Mr. Wu'an is serious!" Chen Yu said disapprovingly: "The opportunity is true, but is there such a necessity? The Han army only has more than 3 people, and it is not an unjust attack on our country of Zhao. And Our army has 11 people, and it is a righteous army. It only needs to be deployed at Jingxingkou, and when the Han army arrives, it can be easily wiped out. Why bother to do other things?
If you send troops rashly, there may be some mistakes, even if you act safely, the effect will be the same.So why bother?Spreading it out can also show the benevolence and tolerance of my king.Wouldn't it be nice for Han Xin's son to personally lose under my Wang Junwei! "

Li Zuoche was very helpless, he didn't expect Chen Yu to raise such a reason to oppose him.It seems that he really has selfish intentions, alas!Li Zuoche sighed involuntarily!I don't have the slightest thought of fighting for power and profit, I just think about the safety of Zhao country.But... the current situation is so similar to that of his grandfather Li Mu back then. I only hope that Zhao Wang will be wise and don't let Zhao Guo repeat the same mistakes of the past!
When his eyes fell on Zhao Wangxie's face, Li Zuoche was full of anticipation, and the emotions in his heart were very complicated!
Li Zuoche only noticed some thoughts of Chen Yu seeking personal gain, but did not notice some deeper hints in his words.Like his grandfather Li Mu, he is very good at military strategy, but he is a bit dull in terms of delicate thinking, or he doesn't care much.

Zhao Wangxie was different. As the king of Zhao, he had to deal with so many courtiers. It was very common for him to be deeply thoughtful and even suspicious.

He understood clearly that Chen Yu was telling him that he wanted him to defeat Han Xin himself instead of letting Li Zuoche do it.As for the words of the so-called righteous teacher, they are just excuses, and the number of troops is an indisputable fact.He thought that Chen Yu's suggestion was also good. After all, Zhao Jun had 11 troops, and even if he fought head-on at Jingxingkou, he would surely win.

What Li Zuoche said was correct, but there was really no need for that, and there was no need for that, and it could even be said that there were many harms.

You must know that Li Zuoche already had a very high prestige in Zhao State, if he presided over this battle and won a complete victory, I'm afraid it would be a further icing on the cake, and it would be even worse for King Zhao.Although Li Zuoche had high prestige before, he did not actually have any military power, and it was relatively easy to control.

But this time the situation is different, let him lead the army to attack, then part of the military power will inevitably fall into his hands.In the future, it will not be easy to check and balance the control. Zhao Guo already has a master Chen Yugong, so how can Li Zuo's rear end be so big?

Zhao Wangxie had to think about these things in his heart, and the more he couldn't help but think about it!
Li Zuoche is going to lead a part of the troops to go around behind the Han army, that is, he is going to Hedong...

Hedong is now a very sensitive east. It is true that Li Zuoche led the army to wipe out the Han army, but what if he is in Hedong and doesn't come back?

Leading tens of thousands of troops, plus the remnants of the Han army reorganized in Hedong, Li Zuoche's troops are not a minority.If he occupies Hedong and stands on his own, how can he help him?

He is the grandson of Li Mu, his prestige and appeal are very strong, and there are not a few people who raise their arms to support him.After all, Li Mu was killed by King Zhao back then, so it's hard to guarantee that he didn't have any complaints, maybe!Li Zuoche seems to be honest and honest, but he doesn't dare to take such a risk easily!

Zhao Wangxie's mood is very contradictory. It would be fine if someone else was replaced. The key is that Li Zuoche's identity is sensitive, but he is not very capable in the art of war. , It will not be easy to suppress it in the future.

Li Zuoche had to guard against it!

How to deal with the Han army, although Li Zuoche's strategy is good, it cannot be adopted!

Zhao Wangxie sighed: "General Chen Yu's words are correct. There is really no need to go on an expedition and detour behind the Han army! You just need to set up a formation at Jingxingkou and wait for the Han army to arrive for a decisive battle. Let the world see, my big Zhao How brave is the army, how did they defeat Han Xin who is famous all over the world!"
