Chapter 369 The Confidence of General Qin Han (6/35)

The next day, the 100,000 troops of Chu State drove away in a mighty manner.

This news was naturally immediately discovered by the Qin and Han coalition forces opposite.

Wang He, the chief general of the coalition, also immediately summoned his deputy general Meng Ao and Feng Ting, the chief general of the Korean army, to discuss countermeasures.

Meng Ao was delighted: "If I guess it's right, Qi should have attacked Chu! Only in this case will the Chu army withdraw."

Since the eastern part of Wei State had been occupied by Zhao Kuo, the Qin and Han coalition forces were completely separated from Qi State, even though several days had passed, the Qin and Han coalition forces still did not know the exact news of the Qi army sending troops.

After listening to Meng Ao's guess, Wang He and Feng Ting looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were suddenly relaxed a little.

Wang said: "If this is the case, it would be really great."

Feng Ting smiled and said, "As soon as the 100,000 Chu troops left, the pressure we were waiting for was reduced a lot."

Originally, the 280,000 Qin and Han coalition forces were against 350,000 Zhao and Chu coalition forces, but now the 280,000 Qin and Han coalition forces were against 250,000 Zhao troops.

The coalition forces finally gained an advantage in quantity, even though this advantage seems a bit insignificant.

Meng Ao said excitedly: "This time, we have the chance to defeat Wu Xinjun!"

Wang Yan was silent for a moment and said, "No, I still can't attack without authorization."

Meng Ao became anxious and said, "General, once the Chu army leaves, the morale of the Zhao army will inevitably be shaken. It is an excellent time for us to defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop."

Wang Yan looked at Meng Ao and said lightly: "According to common sense, this is true, but General Meng Ao should not forget that our opponent is Wu Xinjun! Wu Xinjun's ideas are full of ideas and tricks, and it is impossible to predict them with common sense."

Meng Ao said angrily: "What should I do?

The king sent us here to defeat Zhao State, not to consume military rations for vain every day and then go to bed in a daze!"

With a bang, Wang Feng also slapped the table directly: "General Meng Ao, I will tell you again. I am the main general. You don't need to issue orders here!"

Meng Ao was full of anger, but he did not continue to speak and refute.

Seeing this, Feng Ting couldn't help but complain in his heart, thinking to himself, what did the King of Qin think, and actually sent two such inconsistent generals to partner?

But Feng Ting also knew very well that only he, the "outsider", could smooth things out, so he hurriedly said: "General, General Wei Liao was also impulsive to defeat Wu Xinjun, so don't be too angry.

By the way, I wonder how the general is going to deal with Wu Xinjun next?"

Wang Yu glanced at Meng Ao, snorted, and then said: "Actually, I do have an idea.

If the Chu army suddenly advanced eastward because of Qi's attack on Chu, then the chief general of Qi's army must be Kuangliang, the Grand Sima of Qi.

Kuang Liang has excellent military talents, and it is no problem to defeat Chunshenjun."

"We just need to stick here. After Kuang Liang defeated Chunshen Jun, Qin, Han and Qi jointly attacked Wu Xinjun, and the victory will be very sure of victory!"

After Wang Yu's words fell, Feng Ting's expression suddenly moved, and he praised: "The General is indeed awesome. It seems that there is indeed hope for defeating Wu Xinjun this time!"

Meng Ao's mouth on the other side pulled slightly, obviously a little disdainful.

In Meng Ao's opinion, Wang Feng's behavior of not finding a way but instead pinning his hopes on Qi Jun is an immeasurable foolish act! "There is an old saying that it is better to seek others than to seek others."

Zhao Kuo said to Li Mu and Xu Li in front of him: "So no matter whether the Chu people leave or not, the key to defeating the Qin and Han alliance this time must fall on ourselves."

Xu Li and Li Mu naturally nodded in agreement with Zhao Kuo's view.

Xu Li said: "Master, what should we do? Will we directly cross the river and fight the Qin and Han coalition forces in a decisive battle?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "This is of course also a desirable solution.

Now this marquis has 250,000 troops under his command, and 280,000 troops on the side of Wang.

But Wang was under his command of a coalition of two countries, and the phenomenon of inconsistent orders must exist. The troops on the side of Da Zhao were also stronger than Qin. Generally speaking, it can be judged that our army has at least 60% of the confidence to win."

"Sixty percent?"

Hearing this, a light shone on Xu Li's face.

Don’t underestimate the number 60%. If many generals have such a chance of victory before the war begins, they will definitely be laughing from ear to ear.

Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "But if you fight head-on, you will pay a huge price even if you can win, so this strategy can only be used as a mid-range strategy."

Xu Li hurriedly said, "What about the best strategy?"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Li Mu and smiled and said, "Li Mu, what do you think?"

Li Mu's eyes were always locked on the map in front of Zhao Kuo, and with a thoughtful expression, he obviously had something to think about.

Li Mu looked up and said, "I will not hide it from the lord, but the minister does have a little idea.

Please see, the current Qin and Han coalition forces actually have a very serious problem."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "What's the problem?"

Li Mu put his finger on the map and made a gesture: "According to our previous information, the main supply of the 280,000 Qin and Han coalition forces came from Daliang City, Wei State.

However, Daliang City, Wei State, is a hundred miles away from our Pingqiu, and there are still plains throughout this journey."

The smile on the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth became stronger and stronger: "What?"

Li Mu said: "Such a long supply line and the plain terrain are simply the perfect combat scene for my Dazhao cavalry.

I dare to ask the lord to hand over all 30,000 cavalrymen to me, and I will take these cavalry to cut off this supply line!"

When Xu Li heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Can it really be cut off?

I think the Qin and Han alliance will have an army escort."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Something is certainly there.

But under normal circumstances, only a few thousand soldiers escorted food and grass, and it was impossible for me to be the opponent of my 30,000 cavalry.

If Wang Yan wanted to mobilize a large army, the Qin and Han coalition forces would be mainly infantry and would not be able to catch up with our Dazhao cavalry.

There are 280,000 coalition troops, and the daily food and grass are astronomical figures. Their army must not have too much food reserved.

As long as it can be delayed for ten or eight days, the Qin and Han coalition forces without food will undoubtedly be defeated!"

After Li Mu finished speaking, Zhao Kuo immediately smiled: "Okay, very good!"

As the saying goes, the heroes have similar views. The strategy proposed by Li Mu is exactly the same as the best strategy that Zhao Kuo thought.

Before the troops moved, food and grass came first. Wang He thought that strict defense could stop this marquis and cause some different variables to the entire war?

Zhao Kuo just wanted to say that this idea was really - very stupid and naive! Zhao Kuo flipped his wrist and a token had appeared in his hand.
