Chapter 868 Change
Zhao Ze was stunned when he heard Ye Laixiang's words. He also had a headache for these 120,000 people. He was thinking about how to arrange these troops. He didn't expect that this thousand general could gather nearly 20,000 people, which was enough to see this person. The ability is outstanding, and it seems that it is indeed useful.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ze nodded in agreement, and then motioned for him to take care of the rest. However, he found that the other party did not speak immediately, but looked around vaguely.
Zhao Ze was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. He made a gesture to his personal guards. After all the personal guards had withdrawn from the tent and only the personal guards remained in the tent, Zhao Ze said, "What's the matter? Come on."
"Reporting to the general, on the way to Changping in the future, I accidentally got the news that the Qin army on the opposite side has changed its commander. Now the Qin army's commander is Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an."
"Huh?!" Zhao Ze was startled, stood up, and said, "Where did you get the information? Is it true?"
Who is Bai Qi? He is known as the first general of the Qin State. Bai Gong, the grandson of King Ping of Chu, wins over his descendants. He is familiar with the art of war and is good at using troops. He has a good relationship with Queen Mother Xuan of Qin and Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang. He assisted King Zhao of Qin and made many military exploits. In the Battle of Yiqian, the combined forces of Wei and Han were defeated; in the Battle of Chu, Ying City, the capital of Chu, was captured. He is a famous general in this world, and his illustrious power makes people change their looks.
Ye Laixiang, who had already received Xi Zhicai's instructions, said quickly: "Weijiang did not get the exact information, but Weijiang learned that after he arrived in Changping on horseback to lead the army, the Qin army on the west bank of Danshui changed its behavior and continued to harass them. It is a tentative move to strengthen the fortress and strengthen the defense, but this is not the usual behavior of General Wang Lu. Combined with what Wei Jiang has heard, there should be nothing wrong. "
When Zhao Ze heard this, he felt that what Nocturne said was true, so he nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything else?"
Ye Laixiang said: "The general has also heard about the movements of the Qin army's troops. I hope to see Ma Fuzi. Can I ask the general to introduce him to you?"
"What's the matter?" Zhao Ze did not answer, but asked;
"I haven't heard yet that Lord Wu'an has sent troops to the west of Kongcang Ridge and go north to attack Changping Pass and Bailishi Great Wall. Once the Qin army controls Changping Pass, Guguan and Bailishi Great Wall, then our Zhao army will have hundreds of thousands of troops. Yu then became a turtle in the urn and was at the mercy of others. He also asked the general to report to Ma Fuzi that he needed to make preparations in advance. "Ye Laixiang knew that her request to see Zhao Kuo was in vain, so she had to tell Zhao Ze everything that had happened in history. I hope he can remind Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Ze was startled again and said loudly: "Is there any evidence for this matter?"
Tuberose shook her head and said, "No."
Zhao Ze was furious and said: "There is no evidence. How can I report this to Ma Fuzi? If Ma Fuzi is furious, I will behead you in public to calm the morale of the army!"
Ye Laixiang knew that she could not show weakness, so she said: "There is a saying in the art of war, don't worry about victory, think about defeat first. It also says that the one who has not fought but the temple is considered the winner has to be counted as more, and the one who has not fought but the temple is not considered the winner has to be counted. Less is more. More is more likely to win, less is less, but nothing counts! Since Wei Jiang is a general of the Great Zhao, he must be thinking about our Great Zhao, and it is his duty to report his thoughts and concerns to the general. "
A burst of righteous words from Ye Laixiang made Zhao Ze speechless. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case, so he said softly: "I will report this matter to Ma Fuzi face to face, and the thousands of Ye Laixiang generals can go back first." Camp, wait for news from the general."
With that said, he ordered Tuberose to retreat.
After leaving Zhao Ze's tent, Ye Laixiang couldn't help but shook her head secretly. It seemed that her thinking was too simple. Although Zhao Ze agreed to report to Zhao Kuo secretly, he understood that Zhao Kuo would not give up so easily due to his pride.
Fortunately, before leaving, Ye Laixiang had already told Zhao Ze the method she had discussed with Xi Zhicai, which was to mobilize some of the 120,000 player troops who came this time to Bailishi Great Wall and Changpingguan Pass to assist. For the defense of the large army, these players' soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to confront the Qin State head-on, but there is still no problem in assisting the Zhao army in defending the city.
After Zhao Ze thought about it for a moment, he agreed to his suggestion.
Now Tuberose finally understands what it means to do one's best,
It’s up to fate.
After returning to the camp, Ye Laixiang told Xi Zhicai the results of his trip in detail. Xi Zhicai had a clear look on his face and had obviously guessed the outcome of the matter.
In fact, Xi Zhi learned that the Battle of Changping was not so much Zhao Kuo's forced attack on Qin, but Zhao Kuo and the King of Zhao forcing Zhao Kuo to attack, because Zhao Kuo could no longer support it and there was a shortage of food in the country. If the war is not ended as soon as possible, Zhao will be overwhelmed by lack of food, so it is better to fight to the death.
In addition, Ma Fujun Zhao She once defeated the Qin army, so King Zhao was not very afraid of the Qin army's combat power. He thought that this situation was only caused by Lian Po's avoidance of battle.
This was the move to change generals before the battle, so the defeat of Zhao Jun was not entirely due to Zhao Kuo, but a combination of various reasons.
In fact, at the beginning of the war, Xi Zhi was unwilling to choose Zhao. It was only because his lord insisted on doing so that he had no choice but to make this choice. The reason why Ye Laixiang made this choice was because he had already found out that Huangfu Chaobo chose the Qin camp, so he chose Zhao.
Nowadays, it is basically impossible to change the situation of the war, so Xi Zhicai suggested that Tuberose start preparing for the next step. Originally, Xi Zhicai's intention was to join the Qin camp and forget about it. After all, Zhao's congenital defects were too obvious. If Qin persisted, it would be Zhao who ultimately failed.
It was just that Ye Lai Xiang insisted on choosing the Zhao camp, so after thinking for a while, Xi Zhi decided to find another way. Since he couldn't stop Zhao Kuo from dying, he would find a way to rescue more Zhao soldiers.
After the communication between Ye Lai Xiang and Zhao Ze, Xi Zhi knew that the first way had been cut off, so he asked Ye Lai Xiang to start preparing for the second aspect. That is to try his best to make friends with Zhao Ze, accept the task of staying in the camp, and then wait for an opportunity to break out.
Soon Zhao Ze returned from the central army tent and sent someone to call Ye Lai Xiang again to tell him the result of his report. Zhao Kuo didn't believe it, or although he believed it a little, he decided to implement the original strategy because there was no intelligence support.
However, after thinking again and again, Zhao Kuo also made a little change, that is, to arrange the 120,000 foreign soldiers. Among them, 30,000 were transferred to Le Qi, the general of the right army, to strengthen the defense of the Baili Stone Great Wall. Among them, 30,000 were given to Zhao Ze, and another 25,000 Zhao soldiers were transferred from the right army, all to Zhao Ze, who was responsible for defending the camp. The remaining 60,000 troops were all transferred to the front army to participate in the attack on the Qin army.
