When Zhao Kuo put down his pen, the bamboo slips in front of him had written almost the same handwriting as the document sent by King Zhao to urge the war. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest

Hundreds of thousands of lives are fighting to the death just because of my simple document.

After this battle, I, Zhao Kuo, may be left with an eternal infamy, and death is not a pity.

Zhao Kuo's face was dull, but gradually his eyes became sharper.

The state of Zhao cannot be broken, and this battle will definitely make the Qin army unable to attack the north. That is, Zhao will be a general, and he should be loyal to the emperor.

Zhao Kuo looked at the document, took a deep breath, and called out dully: "Come here! Call all the generals to discuss the matter."

Zhao Jun's discussion tent.

One general after another lifted the curtain and walked in, sitting quietly on both sides.

Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the main seat, waited quietly.

At the very beginning, basically all the generals were dissatisfied with this young general with low qualifications, but as this young man named Zhao Kuo led them to repel the offensive of the Qin army many times, they had already recognized this in their hearts. coach.

It's just that they are a little puzzled this time, why the coach suddenly discussed the matter.

And it was the first time that the coach, who had always looked kindly, looked so serious.

Until all the generals sit down.

Zhao Kuo slowly placed a document on the table.

"Everyone, defeating the Qin army is just around the corner."

In a word, the atmosphere in the camp almost froze.

All the generals looked at Zhao Kuo at the same time, waiting for Zhao Kuo to continue.

Everyone knows that the Qin army is 600,000, the Zhao army is only more than 400,000, and there are mountains and plains nearby, which is not conducive to the cavalry of the Zhao army. It is almost impossible to defeat the Qin army.

And they have been fighting the Qin army for two full years under the condition of lack of food and no aid, no one wants to stay in this shitty place, and no one wants to kill the 600,000 Qin dogs.

Zhao Kuo looked at the generals, with a confident smile on his face: "Kuo received Zhao Wang's handwriting the day before yesterday, and at the end of the month, 300,000 new troops and tens of thousands of grain and grass came to support."

As he spoke, he glanced at the bamboo slips on the table; "If you don't believe me, you can read this document yourself."

As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, a veteran took the bamboo slips, opened them hastily, and began to scan them.

After a few glances, he closed the bamboo slip: "Hahahaha!"

"Good! Good!" Two good words, the veteran's face was flushed, his back was straight, but he seemed to be ten years younger.

"Don't laugh there, come on, let me wait and see if there are really reinforcements!" All the generals sitting around couldn't sit still.

They all wanted to take the bamboo slip and look at it, to make sure that the reinforcements really came.

For a moment, the camp was in great chaos, but there were loud laughter everywhere, all revealing the elated joy.

"Okay! I have long disliked those Qin dogs. If I didn't have enough soldiers, who would be afraid of them!? Good!"

"Happy! Really happy!"

"No, no, I'll have a good meal at that time, mother, I haven't had a full meal in the past two years."

The camp was in a mess, Zhao Kuo smiled and looked at the generals who were making a fuss, but no one saw the self-ashamedness under his smile.

The noise slowly stopped, and the veteran sitting beside Zhao Kuo cupped his hands.

"Commander, just tell me what you want me to do, and I will definitely finish it! This time, the Qin people who are going to be killed will not be left alone."

After being suppressed and beaten by Qin Jun for more than two years, almost everyone felt depressed.

This time, they must pay back with interest.

Zhao Kuo sat on the main seat, his face lost the previous seriousness, and instead put on a slight smile, as if the previous seriousness was just to reveal this secret and a joke made by the generals.

Glancing around at the people sitting there, they were all ready to move.

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll talk about it."

"I have made a plan with the king and decided to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop this time."

As he spoke, Zhao Kuo pointed to the map with a simple drawing hanging behind him.

"Two days later, the Qin army came to call for formation again. We gathered 400,000 troops and rushed out in one fell swoop, leaving 50,000 people in the camp to guard."

"At that time, I will wait for the commander-in-chief to attack from the front to attract the attention of the Qin army. Once the additional 300,000 Zhao army arrives, they will bypass the Qin army's position and attack from the rear from top to bottom. The army attacked back and forth, and wiped out the Qin army in one fell swoop."

The plan is very simple, but the feasibility is quite high. If so, Zhao Jun can definitely change his decline, turn to defense and attack, and catch Qin Jun by surprise.

"Okay." The veteran nodded, but hesitated for a while, and asked, "It's just the coach, why didn't we wait for the 300,000 reinforcements to arrive and act together."

Zhao Kuo shook his head: "The Qin army must have noticed that the 300,000 reinforcements entered the camp. Only by entangled with the Qin army can we let the 300,000 reinforcements go around behind. And we only need to support them until the reinforcements arrive. Attack and defense can be exchanged."

"That's right." The veteran nodded knowingly.

Zhao Kuo and the generals discussed the matter for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that the generals left with unsatisfied intentions.

In the middle, several generals still hesitated. After all, there had been no reinforcements in Changping for two years, so why did they come this time

In the end, thinking that the coach couldn't make fun of his own life, he didn't think much about it and believed the news.

Wait until the generals leave.

Only Zhao Kuo was left sitting in the middle, the smile on his face gradually faded, and sitting on the main seat, Zhao Kuo lowered his head and slowly clenched his fists.

(Well, maybe everyone will say that the Zhao Kuo I wrote is not in line with history, obviously he should be an idiot. Because I want to write history, so in order to respect and fit as much as possible, I checked a lot of information. In fact, Zhao Kuo in history is quite Injustice. He has only fought two battles in his life. In the first battle, he won the Maiqiu of Qi State in a month. The second battle is Changping. He said that his experience is definitely only a little, so he was pulled to fight with Bai Qi This kind of laning is obviously a high rank, or it is a situation where the economy and kills are a lot behind, it is strange to win.

Haha, moreover, after the war ended, Zhao Jun could still be killed hundreds of thousands by Qin Guokeng, what does this mean? The battle damage that represents Zhao Guo is very small, because Zhao Guo has only about 400,000 to 500,000 troops. The most battle damage is just one to one with Qin. The Qin State also suffered great losses, with more than 200,000 casualties according to records.

Zhao Kuo defended for 45 days under Bai Qi's offensive. In the later stage, he ran out of food and even began to eat human flesh and corpses. In this way, the army's morale did not collapse. It can be seen that Zhao Kuo's ability to lead troops is still good. In the end, when there was no chance of winning at all, Zhao Kuo did not surrender, but still decided to lead the remnants to break through, yelling at Zhao General Zhao Kuo, and was shot to death by random arrows.

I think this person may not be a very good general, but he is far from being a fool on paper. From the perspective that he did not surrender in the end and still chose to die on the battlefield, I think that even if he is not a qualified general, he is at least a qualified soldier. )

(What's more, I think he fought the battle of Changping pretty well. He fought the god of war Bai Qi with no food and grass and weak troops. It's not something anyone can do.)

(Of course, I don’t know whether Zhao Kuo has such a deceptive method in history to stabilize the morale of the army. This is just a little adaptation of mine. Haha.)
