"How can only be enough for only 100,000 Zhao troops?"

"Now there are less than 40,000 Qin troops in the city, and our Chu State still has nearly 200,000 troops, which is enough to surround Pinggao without any hesitation."

"It's better to let General Lian Po lead 100,000 Wei troops and accompany General Li Mu to meet with Gongzi Jia."

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie's voice sounded, and the camp once again fell into a brief calm.

Everyone knows that Chunshen Jun did this a little selfish, and only letting the Chu army siege Pinggao can not only temporarily avoid confrontation with the main force of the Qin army, but also very likely to take down Meng Ao and make a fortune.

However, the Chu army in the previous period was defeated by Meng Ao, and Chunshen Jun wanted to avenge his previous shame, everyone could understand it.

"Since that's the case, then I will meet with Gongzi Jia with General Li Mu!"

Wen County.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army rushed down the Yellow River for a long distance and had arrived at Hangu Pass."

The border town said to Zhao Jia with the battle report he had just obtained.

Zhao Jia nodded slightly when she heard this and said softly: "The speed is much faster than I expected."

The border town asked in confusion: "The chief commander of the Qin army, Fan Yuqi, and Zhang Tang, who is so anxious to march, is it because he wants to come and rescue Meng Ao?"

Zhao Jia pondered for a while and said, "It's not known yet."

When the border town heard this, he became more and more confused and asked, "Why did the young master say this?"

Zhao Jia stroked his beard and said, "Fan Yuqi and Zhang Tang represent the local generals of Qin. There has always been fierce competition with Meng Ao. Because of Lu Buwei's help to Meng Ao, the local generals of Qin were suppressed."

"If Meng Ao hadn't been repeatedly defeated in leading troops, it would have been better than Fan Yuqi's turn, and Zhang Tang became the head commander of the Qin army this time."

"In my opinion, Fan Yuqi and Zhang Tang are more willing to see Meng Ao being killed by the coalition forces!"

Upon hearing this, the border town frowned and said, "Since that's the case, why did Fan Yuqi still have to go day and night? He is so eager to march?"

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "If this is not the case, how can I give Qin an explanation?"

Only then did the border town suddenly realize it.

This is what Zhao Jia wrote in his letter to Li Mu and others, and it is concluded that Fan Yuqi and others may not do their best to rescue Meng Ao.

Instead of gathering the army at Pinggao City and fighting with Meng Ao who was trapped in beasts, it would be better to withdraw most of the troops and come to Wenxian to set up defenses in advance to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.

As for the tens of thousands of Qin troops in Pinggao, they just need to surround the city, even if Meng Ao feeds on human flesh, it will not last long.

On the day when the food is exhausted, Pinggao will be destroyed without attacking.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu and Lian Po, two generals, led an army of 200,000 to come!"

At this moment, Wang Jian walked over with joy on his face.

"Call the generals and follow me to welcome the two generals!"

Twenty miles east of Wen County, Zhao Jia took the generals of Shenqi early to wait for Li Mu and Lian Po here.

Suddenly, dust broke out in the distance, and flags covered the sky and the sun.

"Finally come!"

Thinking of seeing Lian Po, Li Mu and Zhao Jia felt excited.

Since Zhao Jia seized the land of Shenqi, he has never seen Lian Po again. After all, the two have a master-disciple relationship. If it were not for Lian Po's care, Zhao Jia would have been suppressed by his stepmother and Zhao Qian long ago.

What's more, Lian Po served three generations of monarchs in Zhao State, and was very hardworking. As a child of the royal family, Zhao Jia naturally felt grateful to Lian Po.

As for Li Mu, he was the only pillar of Zhao State in history at the end of the Warring States Period. After the Battle of the Huns, Zhao Jia never saw this God-level figure in Zhao State again.

When Zhao Jia learned that Li Mu easily captured the ten cities of Hejian, Yan State with strange plans, he was also extremely happy.

Even though Zhao Jia now controls Shenqi's land, he still knows that his status and power all come from the powerful Zhao State. If Zhao State is weak or destroyed, Shenqi's land will not exist alone.

Only when Zhao State becomes stronger and stronger can Shenqi's land be safer.

Even though Zhao Jia had some disagreement with Zhao Yan before, in the face of major events that concern national interests, the father and son finally began to abandon past grudges and join forces to fight against Qin.

"Teacher, General Li!"

After Zhao Jia saw Lian Po and Li Mu, he hurriedly stepped forward to see the gifts. The two of them did not dare to neglect and returned the gifts one after another.

Today, Zhao Jia is not only Pingqi Jun, but also the prince of Zhao State who is well-known all over the world. Li Mu even heard that King Zhao wanted to make Zhao Jia the crown prince and make him the legal heir of Zhao State.

It seems normal to establish a crown prince. After all, Zhao Yan only has Zhao Jia, and such an outstanding son, so he should be made the crown prince.

However, those who know the past of the two know that there are a lot of dirty things between them.

If Zhao Yan really made Zhao Jia the crown prince, it would mean that Zhao Yan and Zhao Jia had resolved their past grudges and the significance would be very different.

After the three of them greeted each other, Zhao Jia first asked his subordinates to arrange a 200,000 army of Zhao and Wei to enter the camp that had been prepared long ago.

Then, he went to Wenxian County Government to face Lian Po, Li Mu and others.

The three of them came to the big map hanging on the wall. Zhao Jia pointed to the location of Hangu Pass and said, "The main vanguard of the Qin army has arrived here. According to the speed of the Qin army's marching, the troops will be in Wen County within half a month."

"This time, Qin State sent 400,000 troops, which was a labor force. The land of Bashu was full of food and grass, and Qin State was still recruiting troops. It seems that it really wanted to fight to the death with us!"

Zhao Jia's face was extremely solemn.

If the huge war machine of Qin was fully launched, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying existence. Even the coalition forces of Zhao, Chu, Wei and Han would feel tremendous pressure.

What's more, the rest of the countries can only rely on for a while, and it is not realistic to make them work together to fight the Qin State to the death.

According to Zhao Jia's speculation, if the two armies remain stalemate for up to half a year, the coalition forces will retreat one after another, and it may even fall apart in just three months.

At that time, if Qin insisted on attacking Zhao, Zhao would have to face it alone.

Li Mu also frowned and said, "Although the coalition forces have 500,000 troops, they all have their own ulterior motives. In this battle between the two armies will either flow into blood or withdraw their troops as usual when they are stalemate, causing the countries to waste money and food."

Lian Po stroked his beard and said, "If we gather all the troops and horses to fight and decide quickly after conquering Pinggao, can we?"

Li Mu asked back: "Can the 100,000 Wei troops commanded by the General be willing to fight to the death with the Qin army?"

Lian Po was silent when he heard this.

Although he was the nominal supreme commander of the Wei army, his power was greatly restricted. Now Lian Po has not done anything out of the ordinary, so his Wei generals will naturally not object.

Once Lian Po ordered the Wei army to fight to the death with the Qin army, the Wei general would inevitably oppose it. Even Lian Po, the nominal commander, could not command the Wei army.

"cannot."

After a long time, Lian Po said in a dry voice.

Zhao Jia sighed: "This is true for the Wei army, this is true for the Chu army, and this is true for the Han army. The coalition forces can stop the Qin State's military front for a while. It is impossible to rely on the coalition forces of various countries to defeat Qin State."

"What's more, even if all the countries work together to fight the Qin State to the death, the Qin State may not be as we wish. What if the Qin army occupied Hangu Pass as usual and could not leave the dead?"

"For the sake of our current plan, we can only rely on ourselves!"

Li Mu asked, "What are the good plans for the young master?"

Zhao Jia pointed to the location of Hangu Pass and said in a deep voice: "In the past, all countries jointly attacked Qin, but were blocked outside Hangu Pass and eventually left it alone."

"If you can detour Puyang, cross the Yellow River south, and then detour to Hangu Pass, you may accidentally capture the capital of Qin Xianyang!"

Zhao Jia's strategy was exactly the strategy of Pang Nuan to attack Qin in the future. The coalition forces also attacked not far from Xianyang that time, but unfortunately they failed in the end.

Lian Po and Li Mu were both long-time generals on the battlefield. They quickly understood Zhao Jia's meaning and their eyes lit up immediately.

But soon, Li Mu shook his head and said, "If the young master proposes this plan as soon as possible, take advantage of the time when the Qin army has not yet been assembled, and then detours to Hangu Pass, it may be possible to succeed."

"But now that the Qin army has been assembled, our coalition forces are all known to all Qin. If we detour Puban, the Qin army would have had a dike and would not have a miraculous effect."

"Although the number of coalition forces is huge, the quality of the soldiers is of varying quality. The army is bloated and huge. It is not easy to attack Xianyang by detour. If the coordination is done properly, it is easy to be defeated by the Qin army one by one. The risk is extremely high and the gain is not worth the loss!"

Li Mu is worthy of being the future God of War in Zhao, and soon discovered the drawbacks of this strategy.

"If we let the coalition forces drag the main force of the Qin army on the south bank of the Yellow River, we personally lead 30,000 Zhao cavalry in Shenqi to detour to attack Xianyang, will it be successful?"

Zhao Jia's words shocked the two again.

Lian Po immediately shook his head and said, "It is too dangerous and undesirable to go deep into the army alone."

In Lian Po's view, even if the main force of the Qin army was dragged down by the coalition forces, it would be impossible to conquer Xianyang with just 30,000 cavalry.

If you are not careful, 30,000 cavalry will even be counter-encircled and suppressed by the Qin army.

Li Mu frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Although this plan is dangerous, it is not completely impossible. But if the whereabouts of 30,000 cavalrymen are exposed, it may not be so easy to attack Xianyang."

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Even if you cannot conquer Xianyang, it will be enough to shock the world and make the main force of the Qin army frightened and withdraw their troops back to aid."

"At that time, the coalition forces could capture the land east of Hangu Pass of Qin, so that the three kingdoms of Chu, Han and Wei could benefit and weaken the national strength of Qin."

Zhao Jia never planned to conquer Xianyang and destroy Qin with just 30,000 cavalry.

He just wanted to weaken Qin as much as possible and then strengthen the strength of various countries, so that the gap between Zhao and Qin could gradually narrow.

Lian Po continued: "What if his whereabouts are exposed and he is surrounded and suppressed by the Qin army?"

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Master may not know that over the years, Jia has already explored all the terrain and roads of the city that this battle has to pass through. Moreover, the cavalry come and go like the wind. Even if the whereabouts are exposed, what can Qin do to me?"

Lian Po asked again: "With that being said, 30,000 cavalrymen were running straight in, and all the food and supplies were cut off. How could they provide 30,000 cavalrymen with horses to eat and chew?"

Zhao Jia's eyes flashed with cold light and said, "The art of war says: Therefore, the wise general should eat the enemy. If you eat the enemy for one bell, you should be twenty bells; if you should be twenty bells of stalks (pi      gan) one stone, you should be twenty bells of me."

"I have 30,000 cavalry, who can fully imitate the strategy of Hu people going south to plunder. Wherever they pass, they will eat from Qin. If there is any disobedience, the army will suppress it!"
