Chapter 160 Is Your Name Li Mu?
Zhao Kuo didn't know that the Qin people had such a big quarrel because of him, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
Standing on the chariot, Zhao Kuo said to Xu Li beside him: "Uncle Xu, the Kanto countries have always made a mistake in attacking Qin. Do you know what it is?"
Xu Li shook his head.
Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and pointed to the west: "That is the Guhan Pass! This passage is controlled by the Qin people, and the Qin people built Hangu Pass, a fortress that is comparable to our Great Zhao Gaoque Pass. In fact, it is equivalent to blocking the Guhan Pass, which is equivalent to writing the four words "The Road is blocked".
But for so many years, our six Shandong countries have been stubbornly rushing towards Hangu Pass, like a fool who never hits the wall and doesn’t look back!”
Zhao Kuo's words have historical basis.
More than thirty years ago, when King Yingji of Qin had just ascended the throne, the strongest country in the world was Qi.
The State of Qi not only had a strong foundation that King Wei of Qi led to Zou Ji and Tian Ji and Sun Bin, but also had the reign of King Xuan of Qi, the son of King Wei of Qi who was not as talented as his father. Tian Wen, the famous Mengchangjun, was the prime minister and Kuang Zhang, who was known as the world's number one general at that time, led his troops.
It was such a powerful, the most powerful and the overlord of the golden combination, Qi, who led the Han and Wei countries to form a three-nation coalition to attack the Hangu Pass of Qin, which could only compete with Chu for the second strong state at that time. It took three years to break Hangu Pass! Does this mean that Qin is very strong?
No, this shows that Hangu Pass, a world-class pass, is indeed a one-man pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it! Then the question comes again. Can't you do anything to Qin if you can't get Hangu Pass?
Of course not.
What is the answer?
It's in the mind of Zhao Kuo, a time traveler.
According to Zhao Kuo's historical knowledge, in 241 BC, the five eastern countries launched the fifth and last time to attack Qin.
This time, the attack on Qin was led by Zhao's general Pang Qian. Under Pang Qian's command, the five-nation coalition forces unexpectedly bypassed Hangu Pass and attacked Guanzhong, and once reached within a hundred miles of the capital of Qin Xianyang.
This is also the closest time to Xianyang among many people.
What Zhao Kuo is now walking is the route that Pang Qian took in history! I know there is a hard rock in front of me and I still hit my head up?
Zhao Kuo is not a fool.
A passionate fight is something that a reckless man does. When a good military strategist is commanding a war, he should look for weaknesses and flaws to break into the enemy, and defeat the enemy at the lowest cost and win.
"After that being said, Pang Chi is probably in his thirties or forties now, right?
I just don’t know where he lives in seclusion, otherwise if he could be summoned, he would be considered a good general.”
Zhao Kuo withdrew his mind and set his eyes on the surging river in front of him.
Just in Zhao Kuo's sight, a cylindrical hill stood in the surging rapids of the Yellow River, and could not bear the strength of the river water.
The name of this hill is Dizhu Mountain, and the term "Duzhu" comes from this.
Looking at the Dizhu Mountain in front of him, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but feel passionate. He also wanted to become the mainstay of the Chinese world! Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "The whole army crossed the river!"
Under Zhao Kuo's order, 250,000 Zhao, Han and Wei coalition forces crossed the surging Yellow River and officially entered Hedong County.
As the world's number one general, Zhao Kuo's skills to use troops are naturally very fast and accurate. After crossing the river, Zhao Kuo almost hesitated and immediately rushed north. After a day and a half, he captured the Wuxian county of Hedong County, which was closest to the coalition forces, and then rushed towards Anyi without stopping and at the fastest speed! Anyi was the capital of Wei State and the current county seat of Hedong County, Qin State. As long as this city can be captured, the overall situation of the war in Hedong County will be decided.
The war seemed very smooth, but Zhao Kuo did not carelessly.
After all, his opponent is Bai Qi! Zhao Kuo's memory has the most sufficient military knowledge in the world, and coupled with the insights brought by traveling through his soul, he thinks that he will not be a second person in this world.
Bai Qi was the only person Zhao Kuo thought that he could defeat him, even Lian Po could not do it.
Bai Qi's military use has always been a new way to make the enemy's weapons first. There are many classic battles in the battles he commands, and he cannot take such an enemy lightly at any time.
So while Zhao Kuo ordered a rapid march, he made another preparation.
Since the march route this time was basically marched along the plains, Zhao Kuo specially selected 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhao State to go south to assist in the war! Unlike other countries, the cavalry of Zhao State has experienced the "Hu Clothing and Cavalry" reform of King Wuling of Zhao, not only has a separate border cavalry army, but also has the strongest combat effectiveness among the various troops of Zhao State.
Now, the vast plains of Hedong County have become the best place for these side riders to gallop.
Except for Zhao Kuo's own thousand Chiyou Army, all the remaining cavalry were released by Zhao Kuo on the scale of 500 cavalry.
Zhao Kuo’s request was very simple: “Occupy every village you see and destroy every Qin army you see. If you encounter the main force of Qin, you must repay it as soon as possible, and then stare at them tightly!”
As for why cavalry was not used as vanguards to attack Anyi, the reason was actually very simple - cavalry was not good at siegeing cities. Instead of letting these elite Zhao cavalry basins basin outside the tall Anyi city wall, it would be better to put them in the southwest basin of Jin, Hedong County, where the plains here are their best places to gallop! Zhao Kuo's arrangement immediately achieved results. When the army was about eighty miles away from Anyi, Zhao Kuo finally received the exact information related to the Qin army.
On that night, Zhao Kuo, who had just finished dinner, was thinking about how the war that was about to break out in the future in front of a map of Hedong County in the camp. Xu Li's loud voice came in from outside the tent: "June, there was a hundred cavalry generals who had just returned to the camp and said that there was a report on the whereabouts of the Qin army!"
Zhao Kuo immediately raised his head when he heard this, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy" will never be defeated in a hundred battles. What you fear most when fighting is that you know nothing about the enemy! "Hurry up, summon that hundred generals in!"
A moment later, an officer from Zhao State, who was in his early twenties, was extremely young and heroic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, appeared in front of Zhao Kuo: "Hundred generals Li Mu have seen Jun Hou!"
Zhao Kuo nodded and asked impatiently: "Do you say you have information about the Qin army?"
Li Mu said seriously: “That’s it.
We discovered a large Qin army in Jiecheng a day ago. The number of people should be around 50,000. Judging from the banner, it seems that they are the commander of a general of the Montessori."
"General Montessori?"
Zhao Kuo was stunned at first, and then immediately came to his senses: "That must be Meng Ao! Bai Qi, have you found traces of Bai Qi's army?"
The young officer of the Zhao Border Cavalry Legion in front of him said in a deep voice: "Return to the general, no sign of Bai Qi's troops was found."
Zhao Kuo said oh, unable to help but be puzzled.
Bai Qi was not with Meng Ao at this time, so where did he go?
Suddenly, Zhao Kuo suddenly came to his senses and looked at the young officer in front of him with shocked eyes: "Wait, you just said... your name is Li Mu?"
