Chapter 40: Farewell (Part 2)

Zhao Xin has been staying in the army these months, and the trend of drinking in the Zhao army is extremely strong, so Zhao Xin has become a little drunk. He smiled and nodded without refusing.

The two returned to Lianpo Camp, took some wine bags and served wine and food, and found a quiet place in the back camp to sit on the ground, drinking and talking.

Because the matter was hasty and was temporarily prepared in the army, the wine and food were very simple. Lian Po said embarrassedly: "The camp is simple, and there are only some crude wine and food, but I'm neglecting you, brother."

Zhao Xinze waved his hand with a smile, blushing, and was already drunk. He smiled and said with a smile. "I heard from the Lord's Father that drinking is the joy of drinking. If you drink happily with the people you associate with, you will be the happiest thing in the world. But if you treat people who are not human, even if you are delicacies and savory, you will be as tasteless as chewing wax."

After hearing this, Lian Po laughed and said, "You said it well, but you said it in seconds. The Lord's father is so arrogant. He is really a hero among the people. Just for this, he should be emptied."

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank high, drank three cups in a row, wiped his mouth and shouted happily, but he was in full swing.

Zhao Xin laughed at this and said, "Brother Lian, you are really unkind. If your sister-in-law is not here, no one can control you. When your sister-in-law comes, you will have no wine to drink."

Lian Po laughed a few times and waved his hand, "What do women know? This wine is the root of a man's life. How can you quit? The little girls don't know how to make trouble."

"Come on, I wish you another cup of me." Lian Po raised his glass, drank with Zhao Xin, and shook his head and said with a sigh. "Although I am different from you, I feel like the same thing at first sight, which is really rare. It's a pity that I was left in the clouds to train new soldiers. I can't accompany my master's father south like them. This time, my master's father went south and pulled out all the elites in the northern army. I'm afraid there was a big move to do it."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Then guess what the big move is."

Lian Po raised a smile on his lips, his eyes were smiling, and he said, "Now Lou Fu, Lin Hu's threat has gone, and the Central Plains are fighting fiercely. According to the nature of the master's father, the son will never intervene rashly. I think it's just that Zhongshan is going to be in trouble, right?"

Zhao Xin gave a thumbs up and laughed, "Brother, you have such a good eye. Being a general is so aggrieved. It's a pity that the Lord did not take you there this time, otherwise you will definitely be able to make a big splash according to your talents."

Lian Po just smiled and said without hesitation; "Now the small soldiers in Zhongshan are small, and the remaining troops in the country are less than 100,000, but they are just defending the city. Our Zhao army is already sure to win, and the result is the same whether I go or not."

"In my opinion, the key to attacking Zhongshan is to be fast, quickly seize Lingshou with lightning speed, occupy all its land, and conquer Zhongshan before the intervention of the various countries. If the situation of the war is stalemate, the attitudes of the countries are likely to be changed. If troops are sent to intervene, our Zhao State may be attacked from both sides and are very passive."

Zhao Xin nodded convincedly and said, "What the brother said is very true, just like what the master father said, it is really a hero's opinion."

Lian Po shook his head and said, "What a hero, I, Lian Po, can I compare with him. Brother, you have been lucky enough to be with your father. It is really a rare opportunity. You really have to cherish this opportunity, listen more and say less, and learn as much as possible. Some words that are brothers do not know whether to say or not. You are proud of your youth, too sharp, and easily attract jealousy, which is not conducive to your future development. Back then, I was arrogant and offended too many people, so I was neglected for nearly ten years. Whether you are talented or born, you are above your brother, and your future achievements are also above your brother, so you must be more careful in your words and actions, and don't follow the old path of being a brother."

Zhao Xin nodded convincedly and said, "Thank you, brother, I should remember it in my heart."

He paused and asked curiously, "Which brother sees, what will the Lord's father do next after conquering Zhongshan?"

Lian Po smiled confidently and pondered for a moment, "If I was right, Qin will be the next target of my Zhao State."

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this. You must know that Qin is one of the best powers in the world. He was shocked and said in surprise, "Qin? Why?"

Lian Po put down his wine glass and said, "This is just my guess. The Lord's father has worked hard to manage Yunzhong and Yanmen over the years and vigorously repaired the roads of Dai County in Jinyang. It is logical that the Loufan and Linhu tribes have declined and are not enough to protect themselves, let alone launch a large-scale attack on our Zhao State. Therefore, the Lord's father planned to be a grassland. Yan State is located in a bitter and cold place, and has a harmonious relationship with our Zhao State. He has always advanced and retreated together. The Lord's father will never attack Yan State easily, and the answer is obviously about to come out."

"Actually, over the years, the Lord's father has been committed to increasing the long-range attack capabilities of the cavalry. I think it is planning for this matter. If I guess correctly, the Lord's father must have set out from the clouds, take the grassland to detour the west side of Shangjun, and suddenly launched an attack from there to break through the Qin army's defense line and enter the territory, and then attacked Guanzhong. Before the main army in the Qin border area could return to aid, he captured the King of Qin and made the Qin people surrender."

Zhao Xin nodded thoughtfully, but carefully recorded every sentence of Lian Po in his heart. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Who brother thinks that if I, Zhao Guo, do this, will he have a chance of winning?"

Lian Po pondered for a moment, stretched out the five fingers of his left hand and said, "It should be a number of five or five."

Zhao Xin was shocked and exclaimed, "Is it only 50%?"

"Waring depends on the time, place, and people, and neither of them is missing. The so-called good use of the army is nothing more than to increase the chances of victory of one side as much as possible. The master's father attacked him unexpectedly and occupied the time of heaven. The Qin State's land is in a hinterland, and the Jincheng in Guanzhong is a thousand miles away, which is for the advantage of the territory. Therefore, I said that this matter only has a five-point chance of victory, and the battle is the ever-changing changes on the battlefield."

"The advantage of our Zhao army lies in the maneuverability and flexibility of the cavalry, which can suddenly appear in the hinterland of Qin. However, the cavalry has a fatal flaw, that is, it is not good at siegeing cities and territories. If the Qin army's main army in Guanzhong is not eliminated quickly in the initial raid, it will inevitably fall into a protracted war of attrition, which is extremely unfavorable to our army."

After pausing for a long time, Lian Po asked thoughtfully, "There is another question, how do you think about my cavalry in Zhao State?"

"The archers and horses are skilled, but they come like the wind. They are one of the few elite soldiers in the world." Zhao Xin said without hesitation.

Lian Po nodded, "Since ancient times, there are many heroes in Zhao, with strong martial arts style, and many people are generous and tragic, so the soldiers are mostly famous for their good fighting. But our Zhao army has a fatal flaw, that is, personal heroism is prevalent in the army, and the strength of an army is largely reflected in the generals. If a good general, the upper and lower levels will work together and use it like an arm; but if a mediocre general, the morale will be difficult to continue. If the main general is destroyed, the army will be defeated in chaos. Moreover, the army is mostly chivalrous and the military is extremely unstable."

"I dislike the Qin army. The strength of the Qin army relies more on a complete set of military merit and title systems and a strict method of scheming. In order to make meritorious, the Qin army fought bravely to fight the enemy, and even if they were afraid, they would not dare to flee so as not to implicate their family and comrades. Therefore, even if the Qin army does not have good generals, they can maintain their tenacious combat effectiveness. This is where the Qin army is much higher than our Zhao army. If our army attacks sneakily and cannot annihilate the main force of the Qin army, it is likely to be surrounded by the Qin army that has recovered."

Zhao Xin asked again: "In this way, the attack on Qin is extremely dangerous, and the master may not follow it," he said.

Lian Po laughed, "You are wrong. The master's father will definitely attack Qin. Even if he only has 50% chance of winning, he will not hesitate to suppress Zhao's luck as a bet."

"Because he is the master's father and Zhao Yong, there is nothing in the world that he dare not do. He will use all his means to get what he wants!"

Lian Po raised his wine glass and laughed, "I met this heroic lord, and my life was a great pleasure. At such a storm, when we were so arrogant and domineering, you and I will meet in Guanzhong in the future. Under the leadership of the master's father, the iron cavalry broke through the powerful Qin, so that the people of the world can look at each other!"
