Chapter 869 Meeting Bai Qi

After Zhao Ze returned to his camp, he summoned Ye Laixiang again for discussion, and decided to appoint Ye Laixiang as the acting school captain, commanding 10,000 soldiers and horses, and also selected two people from among his confidants to be appointed as school captains. , commanding two other alien troops of ten thousand people. In this way, plus the 20,000 Zhao troops already defending the camp, Zhao Ze commanded a total of 80,000 troops to defend the camp.

Historically, Zhao Kuo attacked the Qin army's defense line with almost an overwhelming force, leaving less than 40,000 soldiers and horses in the base camp and grain and grass logistics camp for defense. As a result, the retreat route was cut off by the Qin army, resulting in the base camp being quickly occupied by the Qin army. military occupation. Then the grain and grass camp had a lot of grain and grass but no troops to send. The grain could not be delivered to the besieged army at all, which led to the defeat of the army.

Just when Zhao Ze was making adjustments to the players in the Zhao camp, Huangfu Chaobo had already entered the Light Wolf City under the leadership of Wang Ling.

Guanglang City is located on a mountainside less than a few miles behind the Qin Army's barrier on the west bank of Danshui. It is nestled against the mountain. From the highest point on the mountain, you can clearly see the Qin Army's barrier several miles away.

Entering the city, Huangfu Chaobo could see Qin soldiers everywhere, and a large part of them were Iron Eagle warriors. Guanglang City was originally a military city, and the city was not large. It could accommodate up to eight to one hundred thousand troops for garrison.

Under the leadership of Wang Ling, Huangfu Chaobo soon met the world-famous Wu'an Lord Bai Qi. Although Bai Qi had not yet become the God of Killing, he had already become a world-famous general. This time, he was replaced by Zhao Guo. After hearing the news, the King of Qin immediately sent him to the Changping battlefield. The King of Qin was busy ending this war that lasted for many years. In fact, not only the State of Zhao can no longer support it, but also the State of Qin.

Wu'an Jun arrived at the front line of Changping and immediately began to prepare. First, he arranged for soldiers to enter and reinforce the barrier on the west bank of the Danhe River. Then he secretly transferred some of the first-line defense soldiers to Guanglang City and Dongxi Zhangcheng behind to assemble. .

At the same time, ten days ago, arrangements were made for Sima Geng, the leading general of the left army, to lead 25,000 troops, all the way north from Duanshi City, along the valley on the west side of Kongcang Ridge, and around to the north of the Bailishi Great Wall, in preparation for a surprise attack on Changchun City. Pingguan and Bailishi Great Wall, and then all the way east along the Bailishi Great Wall, and finally controlled Guguan, completely cutting off the connection between Zhao Jun and the northern part of Shangdang.

At this time, Bai Qi was looking at the map. According to the news sent back by Sima Geng, the road in the valley on the west side of Kongcang Ridge was difficult and the army's movement was extremely difficult. Now that they have walked more than half the distance, it is estimated that it will take ten days. Arrive at the north of Changping Pass. According to Bai Qi's estimate, it has been more than forty days since Zhao Kuo arrived in Changping. In about ten days at most, he should launch an attack on the Qin army west of Danshui. At that time, Sima Geng's troops were attacking Changping. The best time to launch an attack.

At this moment, General Wang Ling suddenly came in to report: "Reporting to Lord Wu'an, General Wang Ling of the right army is outside asking for a meeting, saying that there are 100,000 urgent military intelligence reports!"

Bai Qi was stunned and immediately said: "Quickly pass!"

Soon, Wang Ling entered the general's mansion. After paying a military salute to Bai Qi and Wang Lu, he reported to Bai Qi the military situation Huangfu Chaobo told him. Bai Qi and the two were stunned after hearing this. Bai Qi, who had reacted immediately, ordered to recruit Huangfu Chaobo and his two men who were waiting outside.

After entering the general's residence, Huangfu Chaobo met the two famous generals. Under Bai Qi's gaze, he carefully explained to them all the information he knew about the opponent's alien army.

Bai Qi stood in front of the map, silently listening to Huangfu Chaobo's report, but his thoughts were churning in his heart. He did not expect that everyone in the Qin Dynasty had worked hard and planned for several years, and just when he was about to succeed, this great situation was interrupted by these strangers who fell from the sky. The soldiers and horses were destroyed. After a long time, Bai Qi took his eyes away from the map and looked at Huangfu Chaobo: "In your opinion, how should the army respond?"

Huangfu Chaobo respectfully replied: "Concerning this matter, this subordinate military advisor of Wei will definitely be able to clear up Lord Wu An's doubts." After saying that, Huangfu Chaobo stepped aside and introduced Guo Jia to the two of them.

Guo Jia first saluted the two of them.

Then he said: "In my opinion, Zhao Kuo will still cross the river and launch an attack."

"Why?" Bai Qi said in a deep voice;

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired!"

"Explain it in detail."

"The first is that even if Zhao Kuo knows that the Lord has arrived in Changping through the stranger general, he cannot be sure of it without intelligence support, so even if he knows, he is just confused but not sure. , so the words of a foreign general are not enough to change Zhao Kuo's war arrangements. "

"The second is that on the surface it seems that the Zhao army has added 120,000 foreign troops, which is a threat to our country, Da Qin. But on the other hand, it may not be a pressure that prompts Zhao Kuo to send troops. The 120,000 troops are in trouble. Not as good as General Wang Ling should be aware of, but these soldiers and horses do account for more than 20% of the total number of soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, which is a huge pressure on Zhao who is already short of food and grass. "

Guo Jia's words made the three people present nod in approval. After Wang Hao thought for a while, he asked: "Then our army does not need to make any changes?"

Huangfu Chaobo suddenly interrupted and asked, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, has General Sima Jian's army already set off?"

When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked. Only a few people knew about the departure of Sima Jian's army. How did these strange generals know about it? Now that the foreigners on our side already know, does the foreigner general of Zhao Jun also know about it?

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Bai Qi and the other two, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Your Majesty is right. The foreign generals of the Zhao army have indeed known about this."

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Huangfu Chaobo said again: "The other party may have reported this to Zhao Kuo, so I suggest that you immediately send more troops to General Sima, at least so that they can block the Zhao army's retreat to the north for a period of time. Of course, it would be even better if you can successfully achieve your goal."

Bai Qi sighed, not expecting that his strategy would be like a child's play, and all of it was known by the opponent. Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, how many troops should be sent to support Sima Geng?"

"According to the speculation of the general and the military advisor, even if Zhao Kuo sent troops to support the Baili Stone Great Wall, it would mainly be foreign troops. After all, foreign troops are not strong in combat. Although they are not good at field battles, they have no problem defending the city. So if you want to send reinforcements, you need to send at least 10,000 foreign troops and 10,000 elite Qin soldiers to General Sima." Huangfu Chaobo replied;
