Chapter 13

Wei Liao walked to the map, pointed to the map, and said, "Please look, the Zhao army is now divided into two parts. One part is under the command of Li Mu and the other part is on the western front under the leadership of Sima Shang to prevent our Qin from advancing eastward. Among the two parts, the elite of the Zhao army was concentrated in Li Mu's hands, and Sima Shang's troops were relatively weaker, which gave us a chance."

Wang Jian walked to the map, pointed to the map, helped Wei Liao say Xu below, and said, "Mr. Liaozi means that the battle to destroy Zhao can be divided into two stages. In the first stage, our army surrounded Sima Shang with lightning speed and then annihilated it. In the second stage, it encircled and annihilated Li Mu.

"The way of military strategy is to gather and become stronger, and divide and weaker. The Zhao army is originally a powerful soldier in the world, but once it is divided into two parts, its strength will be greatly weakened, and this battle will be much easier."

Wei Liao, Han Fei, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​Nei Shi Tengqi said: "What General Wang said is very true."

Wei Liao continued: "Liuzi originally thought that the troops of Zhao would inevitably be led by Li Mu and concentrated in one place. In that case, our army would fight a tough battle and the losses would be heavy. Even if Zhao was destroyed, it would not be able to recover without a year or two rest. The Zhao army was divided into two parts, and this battle would be much easier. Even if Zhao was destroyed, it would have spare strength to pacify the three kingdoms of Wei, Qi and Yan."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "This is all Mr. Zhou's plan. Mr. Zhou has no choice but to make the impossible possible and divide the Zhao army into two so that we can defeat each of us. Mr. Zhou, today I welcome Mr. Zhou with the courtesy of a national sage, but Mr. Zhou is still humble and dare not take it. What you bring to me are four countries and half of the world. I have no other way except to welcome Mr. Zhu with the courtesy of a national sage."

Zhou Chong hurriedly said: "The king has given me too much. I have only tried my best. If I don't have the wise decision of the king, I will not succeed." This is not a bad word. Although Zhou Chong mobilized King Zhao, if the King of Qin did not cooperate and mobilized other forces to coordinate, it would not be successful.

"Mr. Liaozi, Han Fei. Mr. Zhou, my Three Kingdoms Scholars!" The King of Qin asked Zhou Chong, "Mr. Liaozi, the scholars of Han Fei have expressed their opinions. Mr. Zhou, what are your opinions? You are the initiator of the future war, and I am waiting to listen to your opinions."

Zhou Chongxun said, "The king is so serious, Zhou Chong is so slim, and he dare not be the king's wise man. The king asked, but Zhou Chong dared not not speak." He walked to the map. He said, "The king, I think it is appropriate to annihilate the Zhao army in two stages. However, after annihilation of Sima Shang in the first stage, he should take Handan first and then defeat Li Mu. Zhou Chong was foolish. I don't know if he should, so I ask the king to be the sage."

King Qin, Han Fei, Wei Liao. Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Nei Shiteng, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, and Wang Aoqi claimed to be wonderful and said, "My wonderful and wonderful!"

"Handan is the capital of Zhao State. Once Handan is destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying Li Mu's military morale. Even if Li Mu is very confident and can fight well, he is powerless when Handan is destroyed and King Zhao is captured." The King of Qin said Zhou Chong's intention.

You should know how important the capital of a country is. Taking over the capital of Zhao is equivalent to declaring that Zhao has been defeated. If you are lucky, you will capture the King of Zhao alive, then it would be perfect. Li Mu is even a peerless general. He is powerless in the dilemma of military morale, low morale, and no loyalty. It is not difficult to defeat him.

In history, the reason why Li Mu was able to stop the Qin army was because King Zhao was still there, his loyalty, and Handan had not fallen. If these two conditions did not exist, could Li Mu still stop Wang Jian's army? It's hard to say.

The strategic goals have been determined, and it is time to formulate implementation details, that is, to study specific action plans. Qin Wang said: "Wang Jian, you are a veteran and famous general. How do you think we can achieve our goals?"

Wang Jian responded and said, "Sima Shang set up defenses on the western front, and his formation was strong, like an iron barrel. If he wanted to attack head-on, there would be great casualties. I thought the troops should be divided into two groups, attacked from the left and right wings into his rear, cut off his retreat, and gathered to annihilate them."

"Mengwu, what do you think is appropriate?" asked the King of Qin.

Meng Wu was Meng Tian's father. He was a young general and a veteran and famous general who was as famous as Wang Jian. He said, "When I go back to the king, I think the idea of ​​General Wang is feasible. Sima Shang devoted most of his troops to both sides of the road. He thought that our Qin would seize the road and then go straight to Handan. The soldiers should avoid the real and attack the virtual. There is no need for our army to confront Sima Shang head-on, not attack the road, and encircle the two wings of his weak wings."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "This is all Mr. Zhou's trick. Mr. Zhou's road construction move is indeed a trick. It not only facilitates the Qin Dynasty to mobilize the army and military supplies, but also makes Zhao misjudgment and mistakenly think that our army will attack from the road. Just this road has delayed a large part of the Zhao army's forces.

"King Zhao is stupid. He thinks that he is building a road to a strong country. According to my opinion, he is building a road to a country that is destroying land!"

Meng Tian continued the Qin King's words and said, "If Zhao State does not defend the road, then our army can become real and fake, and follow this road to Handan."

Wang Ben nodded and said, "If Zhao State defended and Chen Yi had heavy troops, other places would be weaker, and our army would have an additional target of attack and more flexibility. When building roads, King Zhao shot himself in the foot!"

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, listen, listen, they are all saying that your land is good. You are indeed good. I originally thought that Mr. Zhou could do the four words of accumulation of grain and storm in South Korea, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou had done so many things, a superb achievement!"

Zhou Chongxun thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, I have a concern."

The King of Qin asked with interest: "What is the matter that makes Mr. Zhou worry?"

Zhou Chong replied: "Your Majesty, Li Mu is a famous general in the world. He would not have expected that we would not attack from the avenue. Zhou Chong thought that Li Mu would definitely keep a move. If our army encircled the two wings, it was a wonderful method. If Li Mu was prepared, the progress would slow down."

Han Fei, Wei Liao, and the King of Qin nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Zhou said is reasonable. If Li Mu is not careful, then it is not Li Mu."

"Mr. Zhou, how should I deal with it?" Wang Jian asked for advice.

His words happened to ask the King of Qin and the others. Zhou Chong, the initiator of the future war, must have had a long idea and looked at Zhou Chong with great anticipation.

Zhou Chong walked to the map and pointed to the map and said, "The king, Zhou Chong thought that Wang Jian's method of encircling with two wings was feasible, but in terms of specific implementation, it could be unique and ingenious, which would be unexpected to King Zhao and Li Mu."
