Chapter 1049 Zhao Kuo wants to fight a blitz
Since Zhao Kuo had made up his mind, everyone present naturally had no opinions.
As a minister, the opinions provided can only be said to be for reference by the lord, and the one who really makes the decision can always be the lord.
This is why Zhao Kuo must get the highest power. Whether it is the previous generation of King Zhao or the previous generation of King Zhao, they did not completely obey Zhao Kuo's opinions. In many cases, the decisions they made were completely contrary to Zhao Kuo's meaning, which also led to many major losses in Zhao Guo.
If you don’t want Zhao State to take detours, you can only grasp the power directly! Since you are going to send troops, then a map is of course indispensable.
Zhao Kuo stood up, walked to the huge map of China hanging on the side, and picked up a baton in his hand.
"Li Mu, this time I will give you 200,000 troops, but you don't have cavalry.
Your task is to block the Qin army and have a head-on battle with them when necessary.
As long as you can make the Qin army lose more than 50,000 people, then this time I will be the one who will do your best!"
Li Mu laughed out loud when he heard this: "Fifty thousand people?
The Lord is too concerned about me, Li Mu.
Let me say this. If Meng Ao and Wang Jian really dare to fight, the Qin people would have to lose at least 80,000 people!"
As a general who had just destroyed Qi, Li Mu is now at the peak of his self-confidence. It can be said that he is not afraid of anyone seeing it.
Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said, "That's good."
Xu Li was standing aside and couldn't help asking a question: "What is the Lord's plan when the general leads so many troops to fight?"
In Xu Li's opinion, Zhao Kuo gave Li Mu a little too much.
As the Grand Sima of Zhao, Xu Li certainly knew the military strength of Zhao.
The current state of Zhao can use at least 600,000 troops.
But among these 600,000,000 soldiers were already stationed in Qidi, which was just conquered, so it was definitely impossible to move.
Li Mu would give another 200,000 troops, which would be 300,000 troops.
Considering the current situation in Zhao State, at least about 200,000 troops must be left to be scattered across Zhao State to prevent any major rebellion and the reaction is not timely.
If this calculation is made, wouldn’t there only 100,000 troops left to Zhao Kuo?
You should know that the Chu people gathered 150,000 elite troops.
Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "I only need 100,000 cavalry this time."
The State of Zhao is different from other countries. Zhao made its fortune through the reform of King Wuling of Zhao's "Hu Clothing, Cavalry and Shooting". The cavalry was originally a powerful group of troops in Zhao. In addition, Zhao has conquered nomadic peoples such as Linhu, Xiongnu, Donghu and other nomadic peoples over the years, and has obtained a large number of cavalry sources.
Among the 600,000 troops in Zhao State, at least 150,000 to 180,000 are cavalry, which is about 30% of the total number of troops. This is definitely a very amazing number.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo was able to easily use 100,000 cavalry, a number that no other vassal state could reach.
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the others present were shocked again.
Pang Qian couldn't help but say, "One hundred thousand cavalry?"
Is Jun Hou not planning to have a protracted battle with the Chu people?"
As we all know, cavalry is the least of the military that should be fought for a long time in front, even if it has heavy armored cavalry like the Chiyou Army, the Chiyou Army also pays attention to a frontal rush to fight quickly.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Long-lasting war?
No, no, we won’t fight a protracted war this time, we are going to fight a blitzkrieg!"
Lightning, that's very fast, can cut through the sky in a moment.
A blitzkrieg will come to an end soon. It usually takes no more than two or three months. Compared with the normal war that only takes one or two years to fight, it is indeed very fast.
When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Li Mu thought he was confident enough, but he realized now that Zhao Kuo's confidence was far above Li Mu! Zhao Kuo looked around everyone present and smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I... are you the one who can defeat the war?"
When saying this, Zhao Kuo's eyes flashed in his eyes, not only confidence, but also confidence! What a joke, I, Zhao Kuo, are the best military god in the world and a person who wins every battle.
These Qin and Chu people wouldn't really think that after I seized power, I would suddenly become a weakling?
Pang Qian touched his white beard and suddenly laughed.
"If even we didn't expect Jun Hou's bold plan, how could the Chu people want it?
This time, I wish you a victory and return!"
Everyone in the room was stunned at first, then they also laughed and spoke in unison.
"I wish you a victory and return!"
...A thousand miles away in the south, the Chu army had just finished a day's march and was camping.
The sunset is about to set, and smoke is curling everywhere in the Chu army camp, and the fragrance of food is floating in the air, making people swallow their saliva after smelling it.
As the deputy general of the Chu army, Jing Yang was having dinner with two of his closest allies.
"This time, we are at least 80% sure to win!"
Jingyang said confidently.
This time, the Chu State dispatched all elite troops, and the heads of the three major families, Jingyang, Zhaozhong and Qu Feng, also went to war. In addition, the chief general Chunshenjun, it can be said that he was doing his best in the true sense.
Zhao Zhong is much older than Jing Yang, and his hair and beard have already turned white. He touched his beard and said slowly: "If Wu Xinjun faces the battle head-on, we may not have any chance, so we still have to fight a protracted battle with him.
As long as we drag on it, chaos will inevitably arise in Zhao. That is the time when we can truly take advantage of the situation to attack Wu Xinjun and make him fail."
Jing Yang snorted, feeling a little dissatisfied, but Zhao Zhong was his ally after all, and the power of the Zhao family and the Jing family was equal, so Jing Yang did not speak directly to refute Zhao Zhong's words.
On the other side, Qu Feng, the head of Qu's family, also spoke: "Wu Xinjun, this person has a very strong ability to fight head-on.
Now that he actually dared to lead his troops south, he obviously decided to defeat our Chu army first.
We just need not give him this opportunity, and his strategy will fail completely.
By that time, whether it is the victory of the Qin army on the Western Front or the emergence of rebellion in Zhao, it is the best time for us to fight back."
But now, Chunshen Jun has gained a very rare psychological advantage over the three major families.
Chunshenjun smiled and said, "There is a certainty of creating a chaos in Handan City - it is ten out of ten."
While saying this, Chunshenjun's eyes shone with an extremely wise light.
...After Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, Li Yuan came to the embassy again and found Li Si.
As the permanent representative, although Chu had begun war with Zhao, Li Si was not expelled.
The reason why the King of Chu did this was to leave a way out. If the situation was not good in the future, it would be much more convenient to seek peace with Zhao Guo.
At this moment, Li Si was no longer as depressed as before, and received Li Yuan in a vigorous spirit: "I wonder if Brother Li Yuan is here this time, what good news is there?"
Li Yuan obviously hesitated on his face and said to Li Si: "Brother Li Si, can the words you said before really come true?"
Li Si couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said with great certainty: "Brother Li Yuan, even if you doubt my ability, do you still doubt the ability of the Lord behind me?
I'll just say that. If even my head of the family can't help you, I'm afraid no one in the world can help you."
Li Si's words were quite convincing to Li Yuan's ears.
Who is Li Si’s lord?
Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo is not only the prime minister of Zhao, but the real ruler of Zhao, and the most powerful super-master in the whole world.
If Zhao Kuo can't do it, then no one else can do it.
Li Yuan finally made up his mind and said, "Actually, things are very simple. Yesterday, Chunshen Jun gave me an order when he led his army to leave Shouchun, which was to ask me to go to Handan City to organize an internal rebellion in Zhao State!"
Li Si was shocked when he heard this: "Be serious about this?"
Li Yuan said solemnly: "How could I make a joke about such a thing?"
Li Si was silent for a moment and said to Li Yuan: "Will Brother Li Yuan think you will succeed this time?"
Li Yuan said without hesitation: "To be honest with Li Si, I think the possibility of success is very high!"
Li Si was really surprised now.
You should know that as the actual controller of the Chu branch of the Nightingale system today, Li Si is still very confident about the power of the Nightingale.
Handan is the nightingale's base camp. What trouble can happen?
But now, Li Yuan’s promise made Li Si a little uneasy.
Li Si said: "So, why is Brother Li Yuan so confident?"
Li Yuan took a deep breath, took out a note from his arms and placed it in front of Li Si: "Just this name."
Li Si picked up the note half-believingly and found a name written on it.
Li Si was shocked when he looked at the name: "How could it be him?
!”
Li Yuan said slowly: "Now, Brother Li Si understands why I am so confident, right?"
Li Si held the note and the expression on his face was quite wonderful.
As Li Yuan said, if it was the person on the list, he could indeed create a huge chaos in Handan City.
However... a huge crisis often represents a huge contribution.
If Li Si can solve this crisis, how could Zhao Kuo be impressed?
Thinking of this, Li Si's eyes suddenly lit up and he grabbed Li Yuan's hand.
