Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 404

Soon, the children were ordered by Xun Kuang to study in another room, and only Zhao Dan, Xun Kuang, Lord Linwu and the attendant Han Fei were left in the hall.

Zhao Dan coughed and said to Xun Kuang, "Xun Qing, now that the army from Qi and Wei is pressing down on the border, I'm worried. I don't know what can Xun Qing do?"

Xun Kuang smiled slightly and said, "Your minister is no more than a rough soldier, how dare you show off in front of the king?"

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "Why should Xun Qing be humble? But please say it."

Speaking of this, Zhao Dan glanced at Linwu Jun who was eager to try again, and said with a smile: "If Linwu Jun is interested in this, you can say so."

Since there is such a character for Wu, one does not need to think about it to know that this Linwu Lord must be proficient in military affairs. If so, then this Linwu Lord should be very interested in discussing this kind of military theory.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Dan opened his mouth, the Lord of Linwu cupped his hands towards Zhao Dan, saying: "Since the king has spoken, how dare I refuse to follow? From my point of view, you can go up to the right time, go down to the right place, watch the enemy's changes, and then come back." The hair, the first to arrive, this is also the key to the use of troops."

Xun Kuang shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "No way. The basis of all wars is the people. If the bow and arrow are out of tune, Yi will not be able to use the medium; If they are not attached to each other, then Tang and Wu will not be able to win. Therefore, those who are good at attaching themselves to the people are those who are good at using soldiers. Therefore, soldiers should only care about being good at attaching to the people."

After hearing Xun Kuang's words, Zhao Dan felt thoughtful.

In Xun Kuang's view, the most important thing in a war is the support of the people. With the support of the people, there will be no disadvantages. On the contrary, "the bow and arrow cannot be adjusted", "the six horses are not in harmony", and "the victory cannot be won by one".

Lord Linwu was obviously dissatisfied, and said: "I can't agree with Xunqing's words. Soldiers are deceitful. Those who are good at using soldiers have deceitful ways of using them. The enemy does not know where they come from. Sun Tzu, Wu The son is invincible in the world by virtue of this, so what does it have to do with the people?"

Xun Kuang frowned, and said to Lord Linwu, "Your words are absurd. According to Xun Kuang's opinion, those who have the soldiers and the people attached to them are the so-called soldiers of benevolence. Form a soldier, disperse and form a column, delay is like Mo Xie's long blade, and the one who strikes the front of his soldiers will be cut off, and exchange is like Mo Xie's sharp edge, and the one who is the front of his soldiers will be defeated. How can such a soldier be capable of the tyrant's king? Comparable?"

Lord Linwu snorted and said, "Isn't Qin now a tyrannical country? However, except for Zhao, there is no one who conquers Qin."

Xun Kuang shook his head and said: "In the Qin state, the king made the people too cruel, and the people had no other way but to join the army. Such an army is the soldiers under the tyrant's king. Even if it can be stronger for a while, how can it be stronger? In the first generation, the third generation, and even forever? The power of a tyrannical country will not last long, as can be seen from the current state of Qin. Since the reform of the Shang monarch, Qin has been strong in all four generations, but what is it now? Therefore, only a benevolent and righteous monarch can last forever Forever."

Lord Linwu fell into silence.

After a long while, Lord Linwu let out a long breath and sighed: "Xunqing's words are kind, I am not as good as Xunqing."

Zhao Dan on the side looked at the dispute between the two with a smile, but thought in his heart: "This Xunzi is indeed worthy of being a great man. He can tell at a glance that the system of Qin State can't last long, but it's hard to say. After all, the Han inherited the Qin system, if Qin’s system is really so bad, why did the Han Dynasty survive for so many years? Forget it, widows are not theorists, so what’s the matter with those widows?”

Zhao Dan shook his head, expelled the complicated thoughts in his mind, and smiled at Xun Kuang: "Xun Qing, in your opinion, this time the battle may be won by a few people?"

Xun Kuang said sternly: "In my opinion, the people of Zhao State are united as one. Although they can't be called benevolent soldiers, they are much stronger than those who tyrannized Qin. Therefore, if there are no accidents in this battle, Then Zhao Guo will definitely win!"

Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing when he heard Xun Kuang's words, and glanced at Linwu Lord beside him, seeing the thoughtful expression of Linwu Lord, he couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

In Zhao Dan's view, the state of Chu is actually a key factor in whether he can win this time.

As for whether the Chu State can send troops, it is of course up to Chu Wangyuan to make his own decision, but the opinion of this Linwu Lord who is in Handan must also have a very important influence on Chu Wangyuan.

After all, Lord Linwu got the first-hand information from the battlefield, which is more convincing than conjectures, debates, etc., and it is more able to make Chu Wangyuan make up his mind.

That's why Zhao Dan made a special trip here in spite of his busy schedule.

If this debate can be used to make this Lord Linwu feel that Zhao Guo can indeed win, so that Chu State can send troops earlier to share the pressure of Zhao Guo, Zhao Dan feels that his time this morning has not been wasted.

So Zhao Dan stood up with a smile, exchanged glances with Xun Kuang calmly, and said, "I'm tired too, let's stop here today."

Chapter 400 Fierce Guanzhong frontline battlefield (second update)

Empire.

This is a plain area surrounded by Jingshui, Luoshui and Weishui. Its area is not large, only about a hundred miles in radius.

In this extremely flat land with small rivers and green grass, two armies with a combined total of nearly 50 troops are fighting fiercely.

Due to the dense forest vegetation on the edge of the plain, the number of trebuchets on both sides has reached an astonishing level. Huge boulders fell in the sky like cannonballs, and then were loaded after a period of time. In the trebuchet, it was returned from the sky intact.

On the ground, countless soldiers of the Zhao army held up large shields, guarding both sides of the charging vehicles, and marched towards the Qin army's position.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot!" The commanders yelled hoarsely above the Qin army's position, and the soldiers raised their crossbows and longbows row by row, and shot the arrows on them at the enemy.

Arrows fell overwhelmingly, even with the protection of a large shield, soldiers of Zhao Jun were still shot to the ground from time to time and died on the way of the charge.

But Zhao Jun's soldiers did not stop because of this. They braved countless arrows and rushed to the front of the Qin Army's formation, pushing away the repelling horses, and let the huge chariot slowly drive towards the Qin Army's camp wall. .

"Bastard, rocket, where are the rockets!" Amidst the shouts of the commanders of the Qin Army, dozens of ignited rockets were launched from the camp wall, covering the entire vicinity of the car, and several of them fell. On top of the rushing car, he finally succeeded in making the rushing car start to burn.

The Zhao Jun soldiers next to the rushing car finally couldn't calm down, shouting, brandishing swords and charging up.

But without the impact of the rushing car, when these soldiers faced the tall camp wall, their efforts seemed somewhat futile.

A moment later, the last Zhao soldier also fell, and the corpses of Zhao soldiers were scattered everywhere under the camp wall.

The grass was trampled on incomparably muddy, black soil, cyan grass clippings and red blood mixed together to form a strange and incomparable color.

Suddenly, another rushing car appeared and slammed into the camp wall heavily.

"Bang!" With an impact, the camp wall shook suddenly and violently like an earthquake.

The archers of the Qin army who were tens of meters near the camp wall were unable to stand stably because of this, and many of them even staggered and fell to the ground. Zhao soldiers hacked to death.

"boom!"

"Bang! Crack!"

After repeated impacts, a gap began to appear.

Almost at the moment when the gap appeared, this place became the most intense fighting place on the entire battlefield.

Dozens of Zhao Jun soldiers who had been following the charging chariot began to charge the moment the gap appeared, and rushed into the Qin Army's camp from this gap.

Many Qin soldiers bravely jumped off the camp wall and rushed towards the gap, trying to block the gap.

A bloody and fierce battle began.

These soldiers of the Zhao army were obviously elite, and they were far superior to their opponents from the state of Qin in terms of personal force and tacit cooperation.

After a burst of fierce swords and swords, the originally larger Qin army was killed and retreated step by step, and the defense line at the entire gap began to crumble.

At this moment, a shout like thunder shook the air.

"Sima Jin is here, and Bandit Zhao is going crazy!"

Sima Jin slammed into the battle group like a tiger descending the mountain, the long sword in his hand was like a snake, a sword was full of blood, and a strike was a life.

After Sima Jin, thirty Qin Ruishi rushed to join the battle group.

The intensity of fighting in this small battlefield reached the highest level in an instant, and dozens of people fell down almost every moment.

Life has become extremely cheap at this moment. Whether it is a soldier of the Qin Army or a warrior of the Zhao Army, everyone's eyes are red, and they don't look like people of sound mind, but become A ferocious beast that only chooses to eat people.

After half a quarter of an hour, the battle at the camp wall was finally over.

Sima Jin knelt down on one knee, with the long sword in his hand on the ground, panting heavily.
