Chapter 390: Zhao She's Good Idea

The letter, or information in Zhao He's hand, was written by Zhao Qi.

This unsigned letter clearly states the numbers, forces, main generals and divisions of troops in the Chu army, and provides detailed introductions to several of the troops that need more attention, such as the troops controlled by the General of the Xiong clan, the troops of the Qu family and the troops of the Jing family.

Although it was just a few thin sheets of paper, it could be said that it made all the details of Chu Jun clearly.

The so-called "knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy" will never be defeated. Judging from the contents of these information, the "knowing one's enemy" of the Chu army in this battle has completely reached the point where it is impossible to be more detailed.

Zhao He thought about it and asked someone to summon Lian Po and Zhao She.

"What do you two have any opinions on the current battle?"

These two people are now considered two aces in Zhao He's hands. Zhao He feels it is necessary for him to listen to their opinions.

Lian Po raised his head and said with great pride: "Please rest assured, as long as the king gives orders, I will charge forward and get the heads of Qu Yuan and others for the king!"

Zhao He looked at Zhao She on the other side.

Zhao She also thrust her chest and said, "King, the plan for now is to find a way to cross the river. As long as you can cross the river, the coalition forces will have their own ulterior motives. Although there are more numbers, they are definitely not the opponent of our Zhao Qiangjun!"

Zhao He: ""

Did Zhao She also betrayed by Lian Po? Now he has become such a reckless person?

The Zhao army, which is only 200,000 people, is obviously the smaller number of Zhao army now. How come it seems that the three-country coalition forces are undoubtedly defeated?

Zhao He was silent for a moment and said, "Speak for real."

A brief silence fell into the big tent.

After a while, Lian Po said: "King, maybe we can once again exert the power of the cavalry, cross the river from Pingqiu upstream or Yangwu downstream, and let 30,000 cavalry launch an offensive against the coalition forces from the flank?"

Zhao He thought for a moment and said, "This plan is indeed good, but you have used it once, I'm afraid Qu Yuan will not be fooled."

Suddenly, Zhao She, who was standing beside him, said: "Master, maybe I have a way."

Zhao He was excited and said, "What method?"

Zhao She said: "I have also studied some information for a while and have some understanding of him. He is quite upright and stubborn, quite like Duke Xiang of Song back then. If the king asked the messenger to go to the Chu army camp and said that he wanted to cross the river and fight with the coalition forces of the princes, it would be very likely that he would agree with Qu Yuan's character."

Lian Po was shocked after hearing this and subconsciously said, "How can this make it happen? If Qu Yuanyan didn't believe in it and attacked him halfway, then wouldn't our army be defeated out of thin air?"

Although Lian Po has a more reckless personality, he is also a famous general after all, and is not a rookie with no military knowledge. Although Zhao She is a good friend, Lian Po will never indulge Zhao She in such a thing.

Zhao She did not answer Lian Po, but said to Zhao He: "King, I also know that this plan is quite dangerous, but I think I am still very sure to succeed."

Zhao He looked at the two generals of Zhao in front of him and remained silent.

The so-called style of Duke Xiang of Song actually starts with a war hundreds of years ago.

As we all know, there are multiple versions of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period in history. In one of the versions, Duke Xiang of Song was listed and was the Five Hegemons together with Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Qin and Duke Mu of Qin.

At that time, the State of Song under the rule of Duke Xiang of Song was actually very powerful and was even able to compete with the State of Chu for a time.

However, Duke Xiang of Song attached too much importance to his creed. In the battle with the State of Hongshui, Duke Xiang of Song insisted on his "benevolence and righteousness", he was unwilling to cross halfway while the Chu army crossed the river and missed a great opportunity. He was eventually defeated by the State of Chu.

If the matter is really as Zhao She said, and Qu Yuan's personality is similar to Duke Xiang of Song, then the Zhao army would not be attacked by the coalition forces when crossing the river. Once the formation is set up after crossing the river, it can truly launch a decisive battle with the Three Kingdoms coalition forces.

But if the matter is what Lian Po said, as long as Qu Yuan goes back on his word and pretends to agree, he suddenly starts attacking when the Zhao army crosses the river halfway, then a big defeat on Zhao will basically not be able to escape.

Lian Po raised his tone at this time: "Master, this is absolutely forbidden!"

Zhao He's thoughts were pulled back by Lian Po's words. Looking at Lian Po in front of him, he suddenly felt a little funny.

He is obviously known for being reckless, but when an idea that seems to be super reckless came out, Lian Po became the person he most opposed.

Could this be the so-called extremes of things will turn back?

Zhao He thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is no need to worry. Write a letter to Qu Yuan first."

Speaking of which, no matter what kind of half-cross strike or how you can really make an array with the backwater, the premise is that Qu Yuan, the chief general of the coalition forces, agrees.

Lian Po walked out of the tent with a gloomy face, and Zhao She followed closely behind.

A personal guard had already led the horses of the two generals over. Lian Po turned over the horse and suddenly glared at Zhao She fiercely: "Are you crazy? You actually gave the king such an idea?"

Zhao She shrugged and said, "What are you thinking? Since we are ministers of Great Zhao, isn't it natural to relieve our worries for the king?"

Lian Po said viciously: "Of course, it can help you solve your worries, but that's not to let you come up with such a brainless idea!"

Zhao She sighed and said, "You, you, how can you know that this idea is brainless?"

Lian Po said angrily: "Can you still try this? When you really finish the trial, I think our Da Zhao will finish it for you!"

Zhao She spread his hands and said, "Then tell me, the king is a famous military commander in the world. Why didn't he deny my idea on the spot just now, but wanted to try it?"

Lian Po was stunned and after a few breaths, he snorted heavily, then rode his horse and left.

In the afternoon of that day, three envoys entered the camps of the Chu army, the Han army and the Wei army respectively.

Soon, the chief general of the Chu army, Qu Yuan, summoned Han Wen, the chief general of the Han army, and Mangmao, the chief general of the Wei army.

"You two, you have read the letter from King Zhao, have you all read it?"

Han Wen nodded and said, "I have read it, it is nothing more than the previous content of persuading surrender, but there are some specific reward conditions in it, and I have already burned the letter."

Mangmao nodded and agreed with Korean statement.

Qu Yuan exclaimed, his face was a little strange, and said, "It seems that the letter he wrote to me is different from what he wrote to you."

Han Wen and Mang Mao were curious, and after circulating the letters sent by Qu Yuan, their faces changed.

King Zhao actually proposed to let the Three Kingdoms coalition retreat twenty miles, and wait until the Zhao army crossed the river and formed a formation, and the two sides had a dignified decisive battle?
