Chapter 1067: East becomes West (60)

Lu Chao shook his head gently, shook his head again, and punched him hard on the big case, which scared more than a dozen senior generals in the tent. The voice of Zhong Ping, the Black Ice Platform general who was reporting to Lu Chao about the changes in the situation in Zhao State, also came to an abrupt end, looking at Lu Chao blankly.

The situation in Zhao State changes like a legendary drama, with ups and downs. I am afraid that even the best storytellers cannot make up such a scene of twists and turns, unpredictable and dazzling plot.

However, this ending was definitely not what Lu Chao wanted to see. Han was given to Chu, but now it was taken away by Han. Wei, which had been struggling to capture, could not be defended now, so he could only give it to Han. The two armies were forced to retreat. They originally planned to take down Zhao Handan and destroy Zhao on their way back, so that Qin would gain some rewards in this big fight, but now, all the plans fell into the empty space again.

He is a Han and Gao Yuan. Lu Chao gritted his teeth and thought, why can he take a step ahead of him at all times and everywhere?

"General, are you still acting as planned?" Zhong Ping asked in a low voice.

Lu Chao sighed long and said, "How can you act as planned? It's too late, everything is too late. Now what I think is how to withdraw the country with the army safely."

"General, the last general has different opinions!" A middle-aged general stepped out and bowed to Lu Chao, siring loudly. The general was Hua Zhen, who was originally a general promoted by Meng Tian. Many people even believed that Hua Zhen was Meng Tian's most desirable successor, and this person was also Meng Tian's foreign relative. Meng Tian was inexplicably recalled to the country, while Lu Chao took over as the general. Looking at this general who was younger than all the generals in the tent, how could these people under Meng Tian be convinced?

For the past twenty years, this army has been stationed on the Qin-Chu border, led by Meng Tian. Most of the people in this tent were promoted by Meng Tian and have always been loyal to Meng Tian. If it weren't for Meng Tian's severe admonition before leaving, I'm afraid these generals would have embarrassed Lu Chao long ago.

Lu Chao came to this army, a typical single-handed person, without bringing a trusted general over there. Those who followed him were just some personal soldiers.

"What is General Hua Zhen's opinion? You might as well say it out and everyone will discuss it together!" Lu Chao did not care about Hua Zhen's rushing tone at all, and raised his hand with a smile and said.

"The last general believes that now is a great opportunity." Hua Zhen looked around at his colleagues and shouted: "Handan was in a civil strife. Zhao Qi and tens of thousands of troops fled from Handan and rushed to Shanggu. So now Handan is extremely empty. Handan originally had only two armies, the City Guard and the Imperial Guard. Now most of the people of these two armies have followed Zhao Qi. For us, isn't Handan like a defenseless one? It doesn't take Gou Yi, Bai Qi and his team's actions along the way, only a hundred miles away, the force of infantry is forced to arrive in just two days, and the cavalry can arrive in half a day. Therefore, the last general believes that the best time to attack Handan is the best time, which is better than before."

Lu Chao still looked at Hua Zhen with a smile on his face, "General Hua didn't hear what General Zhong Ping said just now? Most of the troops in Handan ran away with Zhao Qi, but there were still almost 20,000 Zhao troops stayed. And the commander was the veteran Zhou Changshou. Now the city of Handan is distributing weapons to young men, rectifying the city defense, and actively preparing for war. Who are they guarding? Could it be that they are afraid that Zhao Qi will kill him and shoot back? They are defending us."

"So what?" Hua Zhen said proudly: "How different is the Zhao army with a low morale of 20,000 and 20,000 pigs? As soon as our army arrived, we would destroy them with one blow like a local chicken and a tile."

The smile on Lu Chao's face gradually faded: "General Hua Zhen, it turns out that you are not fighting with detailed information and sufficient preparation, but with a self-consciously superior spirit? How much do you know about Zhao Jun? How much do you know about Zhou Changshou? With the other party being prepared, how much do we know about Handan's urban defense facilities? Where is the weakness, is the area where the other party focuses on defense?"

Hua Zhen's face suddenly turned red. Lu Chao was still kind-hearted just now, but in a blink of an eye, when the human face was taken and the dog face was disguised, he showed the majesty of a general, and scolded him without hesitation.

"General, we have a 100,000 army, but we are afraid of these defeated generals? General, how can we know if it is okay if we don't try it?" Hua Zhen looked around at everyone and shouted, "If General Meng Tian was here, he would have looked forward and taken action long ago."

Hua Zhen said this, even though the tent was filled with Meng Tian’s former confidants, he was still silent, staring at Lu Chao’s reaction with wide eyes.

Lu Chao was extremely angry, knowing that if he didn't fight Hua Zhen's arrogance today, he would be afraid that he would have no place in this army. He worked hard in the army for many years. Lu Chao was extremely familiar with the routines in the army. Hua Zhen chose such an opportunity to attack him to prove his wisdom, and he was a little anxious. It seemed that it was just a silver-like wax gun tip. I really don't know why Meng Tian liked such a person.

"I heard that General Hua Zhen is a favorite student of General Meng Tian, ​​but is General Meng Tian teaching General Hua to fight like this? Try it? Haha, this is the first time that Mr. Lu heard that the army uses this word, and the wealth and life of a hundred thousand troops can be used to try it out? Hua Zhen, Zhou Changshou was once one of the two generals of the Henha under Zhao Mu. Later, he mobilized to Wei many times to assist Wei in resisting our Qin army. The years of fighting were inseparable from our Qin army. It was a rare lucky general. The Han people brought Zhou Changshou back. The purpose was to let him help defend Handan?" Lu Chao looked at Hua Zhen and said lightly. The disdain in his tone was revealed.

"General Lu!" Hua Zhen was furious and stepped forward and yelled: "Your position is above me. I can only listen to you, but please don't insult General Meng Tian. When General Meng led his troops to fight, you were still simmering!"

Looking at Hua Zhen's excited expression, Zhong Ping took a step forward quietly and stood beside Lu Chao. He was a senior general of the Black Ice Platform. In addition to his own affairs, another secret task was to monitor these Meng Tian's confidant generals. He carried an order on him. If Lu Chao could not suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals, he could kill a warned Bai. However, this was just the last method. Zhong Ping also knew that if he really used this command to take action, he was afraid that Lu Chao's mission in this army would be completed, and King Wulie of Qin would be very disappointed.

In the tent, all the generals changed color. The Qin army had strict military rules and the system between superiors and subordinates was extremely strict. These generals were simply unimaginable in this situation. However, Lu Chao was really younger. Although he had made great achievements in military achievements, he conquered South Korea with Dain. However, in recent years, he had no success against the Han army. Hua Zhen came forward and made a fuss. Although everyone was a little worried, they were not afraid of Lu Chao's actions. Everyone was thinking of calling the new general the sensation. The law of the left and right did not blame the masses. Lu Chao was alone and dared to treat Hua Zhen?

"General Meng Tian, ​​I naturally respect him very much!" Lu Chaoran said: "But I am very disappointed with you. Zhou Changshou of Handan has issued a command to serve the king in the country of Zhao Wuji in the name of Zhao. Can you confirm how many soldiers and horses will be concentrated in Handan in various counties and places in Zhao? How long can our logistics and food support us for the battle? If we cannot take Handan in a very short time and are in a deadlock, what should we do? Have you thought about it?"

He stared at Hua Zhen, "The army was fighting, and they were determined to win before they were determined to win. So many unknown factors will have an impact on this battle. We took a rash attack. Once we failed, the consequences would be unimaginable."

He looked at Hua Zhen who was still trying to speak and snorted, "What you said is just the most beneficial situation to us. What if the most unfavorable form is there? As you said, the Zhao army is indeed depressed now, but have you considered the Han army? Although there has not been a report on the army that cuts off the rear, I can tell you now that the Xuyuan Group and Ye Zhen Group of the Han Kingdom must be approaching us quickly."

He glanced at the general in the tent, "Once we have a bad battle, the Han army catches up with us and traps us around Handan, we will be destroyed. General Li Xin's defeat on the grassland is a tragic injury for us. General Li's army is a 100,000 army under General Li and 50,000 soldiers under General Wang are all the strong troops of my Qin. They are gone. Now the only ones supporting the Qin Dynasty are our army. If we make any mistakes, the Han army can directly attack our Qin Dynasty. Have you considered this consequence?"

Except for Kai Huazhen, all the generals lowered their heads. These people were experienced generals, so naturally they would not have imagined such a possibility.

"Report!" A shout came from outside.

"Come in!" Lu Chao said in a deep voice.

An officer stepped into the tent, bowed to Lu Chao, and shouted: "Return to the general, the army with the cut-back sent an emergency military information. Gongsun Yi, under the command of Xu Yuan's army in the Northern Field Army of Han, led 20,000 cavalry, and was quickly approaching our army, less than a hundred miles away from our cut-back army. The infantry under the command of Ye Zhen Central Army of Wei, who was originally in the Wei State, also led 10,000 cavalry to pursue our army quickly."

Hearing the officer's words, a sound of gasping in the tent immediately came out.

"Report!" Another report came from outside. Another officer strode in," General Bai Qi sent someone to report that the forces of the two armies of the Han Youth Guards Group Army were approaching our army under Shangguan Hong's personal leadership."

Lu Chao waved his hand and let the two officers retreat, staring at the generals in the tent, looking at the shocked expressions of everyone, he said coldly: "The incident in Handan was planned by the Han State, one by one, one by one, and now the Han army is hoping that we will fight Handan. If we really follow what they hope, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed and the whole army will deport the camp, and immediately accelerate the retreat, pass it to Bai Qi and Gou Yi, and immediately retreat to Zhigu, let them find Zhao Qi and join forces with the other side to prevent the Han army from attacking."

"As for your order!" All the generals in the tent held their fists in unison to respond.

Lu Chao turned his head to look at Hua Zhen and said coldly: "General Hua Zhen, you don't have to go back to the army. I will ask your deputy to take over your position. You go to the logistics first and raise food and grass for the army!" (To be continued.)
