Chapter 126: their preparations

As winter turns to spring, the Qin people begin to send troops to attack the Chu people, as Fusu and others said. The reason for their sending troops is very simple, to fight against the rebels. This is enough for Zhang Han to lead an army of 100,000 people all the way south.

.One hundred thousand troops, this is another large-scale military operation by the Qin State after the failure of the army in Chu last year. This time they are prepared to fight and determined to win. Both the sophistication of the sergeants and the logistics support are better than

The previous time was much better. At the same time, after Zhang Han led his troops to leave Xianyang, he also recruited tens of thousands of troops and horses from other counties. It was necessary to completely wipe out the Chu people in one battle here.

News of the war spread quickly. When the Qin soldiers left Hangu Pass and entered Henei County, everyone in the world knew that the Qin people had sent troops to Chu. This time, the Qin people had no intention of suddenly attacking Chu, catching them off guard.

, and at the same time, their front line was suddenly stretched, resulting in the weakness of the successors. They just wanted to advance slowly and with great fanfare to crush the Chu people mentally first. This was also a strategy of General Zhang Han.

When the news reached the State of Zhao, the people of Zhao were very happy. Fortunately, the target of the Qin people was not Handan City, which would be destroyed with just a push from them. For this matter, King Zhao Ye even formally thanked him.

Heaven, earth and ancestors, when the news came out, the people of Zhao State looked down upon their king even more.

Of course, not everyone in the State of Zhao is looking at the coming of this war with a sense of luck. At least one person is not, and that is the General Lian Hai of the State of Zhao. At this time, he is analyzing with a group of his subordinates.

It focuses on the possibility of Qin's success in attacking Chu and the impact of their success or failure on Zhao. "From my subordinates' point of view, Qin's attack on Chu this time may not be as easy as others think. After all, many Chu people are brave and good at fighting."

Once people face the danger of destroying their country, they will inevitably burst out with extremely strong strength." A partial general said, and some generals also agreed with him, thinking that the Qin people may not be able to take Chu Di so easily.

But then another general raised an objection: "But Zhang Han is leading the troops this time. He is very powerful in using troops. In addition, these 100,000 troops are elite troops. They can even be said to be the last of the Qin people."

If he is not 100% sure of his strength, Zhang Han may not be willing to make a desperate move. I think it was Zhang Han who brought tens of thousands of troops and almost destroyed our Zhao country. If Hu Hai hadn't suddenly recruited him to Xianyang, we might all be Qin now.

People are imprisoned." 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, each holding his own opinion.

"Actually, it's useless for you to argue like this." Lian Hai gestured for everyone to stop and listen to him after they argued for a while, "Whether the Qin people succeed in attacking Chu this time, it will actually be beneficial or harmful to our Zhao country.

What we have to do now is to find out all these advantages and disadvantages, so that when the war is over, we can do things that are beneficial to us and minimize the harmful aspects."

When everyone heard Lian Hai's words, they realized that the argument they had just made was of no benefit to Zhao Guosi, so they all looked at Lian Hai. They were all generals leading troops, and they only knew how to fight with the enemy on the battlefield.

As for things outside the battle, they were not able to understand. Lian Hai also knew their details, so he simply analyzed the problem to them: "If you ask me to judge the battle between Qin and Chu, I also think that Qin destroyed Chu this time.

The possibility is very high, firstly, Zhang Han is indeed a rare famous general, and secondly, it is because of the civil strife of the Chu people. Although Xiang Yu only took away 20,000 to 30,000 troops from the Chu army, it dealt a huge blow to the Chu army.

Seriously, the King of Chu will obviously no longer trust the Xiang family as before, which will inevitably lead to Xiang Liang not being able to do his best when leading the army. Once the Qin people really destroy the Chu State, it will be good for our Zhao State.

On the one hand, no one will come to avenge us for helping Qi to defeat Chu last year, but at the same time, we must also guard against Zhang Han taking the defeated army to launch an offensive against our Zhao country."

When the generals heard this, their expressions changed a little. There were only 50,000 soldiers in Handan City now. Once the Qin people really attacked with victory, Zhao would not be able to compete with Qin in terms of momentum or strength. Lian Hai saw everyone's reaction

Reflected, he said with a smile: "Don't panic, everyone. As long as we attack the Qin army's rear before Qin's final victory, even if they can destroy Chu, they will suffer heavy losses, and they will no longer be able to use troops against our Zhao country. And once it is

If Chu defeats Qin, the Qin people may be disgraced, and Zhang Han may lead his army to destroy our Zhao country, so that he will not end his expedition with a complete defeat."

"So in my opinion, the most beneficial outcome for our country Zhao in this battle between Qin and Chu is that both Qin and Chu will suffer losses. Qin cannot destroy Chu, but at the same time it will annihilate all the main forces of Chu, so that we, Zhao, can

Take the opportunity to get rid of the defeated Qin people first, and then occupy a few of Chu's cities when he is unable to look after his territory. Of course, this is not what we said would happen. This requires us to make corresponding responses based on the situation on the battlefield.

"Fortunately, our Zhao State Office is located closest to Chu, so we can respond in time in our favor." So the Zhao people, led by Lian Hai, began to wait and see, and were always ready to learn from the war between the two countries.

Seek your own interests.

Zhao's ally, Qi, does not have as many Xiao Jiujiu as they do. Since the last time the Chu people attacked Qi, which resulted in numerous Qi casualties, Qi has been in a state of decline. Now they really hope that Qin can completely destroy Chu.

To avenge this arrow for themselves. The people of Qi have no intention of taking advantage of this war between Qin and Chu to seek their own interests. This is also related to the way Qi has always founded the country. They have always wanted to settle in the east.

They live a comfortable life, and it has nothing to do with them no matter how fierce the war is in the Central Plains. This kind of thinking has good and bad qualities. The good side is that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, Qi's national power was always higher than that of other countries in the world, and its people were wealthy.

The society was stable, but the disadvantage was that when Qin began to rise, Qi still only looked at its own one-third of an acre. In the end, when Qin eliminated the other five countries, Qi was also destroyed by Qin. Today, Qi still remains

They watched the battle between Qin and Chu with the mentality that no one would offend me and I would not offend others. At the same time, they hoped in their hearts that Qin could help them destroy Chu.

This is not because the people of Qi are not as far-sighted as the people of Zhao, but it is determined by their respective situations. Although Zhao was almost destroyed by Qin, this was a few years ago. Now the people of Zhao have recovered, and they

It is very necessary to get some cities for redevelopment, which is one of the reasons why the Zhao people will eventually send troops to help Qi defeat Chu. The Qi people have just suffered heavy damage and have not been able to develop outwards. At the same time, the Qi people are not able to develop outwards due to the ground.

Being located in the farthest east and farthest away from the Qin people, this also meant that they did not feel the same pain as the Zhao people. For them, Chu was a greater threat than Qin.

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

But Zhao General Lian Hai still said something wrong. Now the people in the world who can know the changes in the battlefield as quickly as possible are not the Zhao people but Fusu and the others far in the north. Now there is a silk letter placed between Fusu and the others.

In front of the general. After everyone saw it, Fusu asked for advice: "This makes me confused. Why did Zhang Han's army no longer go south after arriving in Hanoi County, but instead used their troops there to strengthen their troops? Could it be that they even

Do the Qin soldiers in these gateways in Dongjun have to use all their strength?"

Meng Tian and Han Xin were staring at the map and discussing something with each other. Only Zhang Liang was still looking at the intelligence sent before. After synthesizing all the intelligence, Zhang Liang breathed out and said: "I think I already know what Qin

The reason why the army stopped in Hanoi County is that he made full use of the false strategy of attacking Guo. The reason why the army stopped in Hanoi was to find a suitable opportunity to capture Zhao's Handan in one fell swoop."

"Since he was ordered to attack the Chu State, why did he go out of his way to attack the Zhao State? Although destroying the Zhao State is also a great achievement, Handan is not so easy to capture. The army will be damaged by then. If we go

I'm afraid I won't be able to attack Chu." Chen Ping obviously hadn't figured out what Zhang Liang was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Zhang is really talented. You have solved the problem that General Han and I discussed for a long time." Meng Tian had already finished discussing with Han Xin at this time, and said at the side, "After my analysis with General Han,

This Hanoi County is the most suitable for garrisoning troops to attack Handan County, and the Zhao people must not have expected that the Qin army would spend a large number of troops to attack themselves before attacking Chu. If they were unprepared, it would be possible for Zhang Han to lead his army to quickly capture Handan.

city."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "I am not analyzing Zhang Han's intentions from the geographical location, but analyzing it from the perspective of the Zhao people. Judging from this information, the Zhao people have begun to pay attention to the battle between Qin and Zhao, and are even preparing to obtain information from it.

Since we have all noticed this, Zhang Han should have noticed it too. Naturally, he would not let the Zhao people succeed, so he simply took advantage of the Zhao people's unpreparedness to raid Handan to get rid of this future trouble.

Moreover, Zhang Han must still be worried about not being able to destroy Zhao State in one go that day, so of course he will not let go of such a good opportunity this time."

"Listening to what Mr. Zhang said, it seems that the Zhao people are in doom this time." Fusu said, "I wonder what benefits we can get from this?"

"Now that we have learned the Qin Army's purpose earlier, we can evacuate the people we arranged in Zhao State to avoid unnecessary losses. This is our biggest benefit." Chen Ping said with a smile.

"It seems that's all. 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 repeatedly ambush people in my upper county city back then, so it's time to let them have a taste of the conspiracy.
