Handan.

Another court discussion.

"Master Father, it's time to consider letting Le Yi retreat."

Zhao He made suggestions very seriously.

The Lord Father did not immediately express his opinion on this suggestion, but thought about it and asked, "Why?"

Zhao He said: "According to the news just now, Le Yi has now occupied the entire Shangjun County and has gone south to occupy the Yayi of Xihe County, threatening Bai Qi's rear road Xiayang City. If the King of Qin is not stupid, he will definitely let Bai Qi retreat. Once Bai Qi retreats, he may launch a counterattack against Le Yi. Bai Qi has a total of 150,000 troops, and Le Yi has only 70,000 people. If he fights like this, it would be too much of a loss."

The master's father nodded slowly and said, "What if the widow's father had increased his troops to the county?"

The current situation has given the Lord Father a new idea.

Qin State...it doesn't seem to be as strong as the rumored ones.

Look at Wei Ran and Sima Chou, aren’t they all beaten by Niu Jian and Le Yi all over the ground for their teeth?

From this perspective, Zhao State only needs to continue to increase its troops and bring its troops to the same level as Qin State, which should be able to win!

The idea of ​​the master's father was opposed by Zhao He.

"Master Father, it is not the time to fight with Qin."

The Lord Father frowned and said, "Why?"

Zhao He said: "First of all, the core area of ​​the Great Zhao is Handan. From Handan to Shangjun, you need to cross the entire Taihang Mountains and then cross the river (Yellow River). It is very unfavorable to fight thousands of miles away. Even if you win the Qin State and take down the entire Shangjun and even Xihe County, it will be difficult for Da Zhao to defend these places in the next time.

Secondly, there is a great enemy like Qi in the east of Great Zhao. If the main force is transferred to the west at this moment, wouldn’t Qi have a chance to expand in vain? The number one enemy of Great Zhao is still Qi after all!"

Fei Yi also said: "Master, Da Zhao's strategy has always been to fight for hegemony of the Central Plains. If he fights Qin in the west at this moment, it will indeed not be in line with the previous national policy."

Zhao He glanced at Fei Yi with a smile in his eyes.

This teacher and Xiangbang have been cooperating more and more recently.

The master father pondered for a while and breathed a sigh of relief: "Since that's the case, then don't increase your troops."

Regarding Qin State, the relationship between the master's father was also very complicated.

A few years ago, the master's father had personally traveled to the western part of Zhao State and crossed the river from Jiuyuan County to the south. He first met with King Lin Hu, and then met King Qin as an envoy of Zhao State, and finally returned from Jinyang.

After this trip, the master father surveyed the terrain of Qin on the spot and determined the strategy of destroying Qin to one day with a large army from the north to attack Guanzhong.

The two victories of Niu Jian and Le Yi obviously reminded the master father of this strategy, but after Zhao He persuaded him, the master father could only temporarily put this plan to destroy Qin back to his mind.

The Lord's Father said, "If there is no increase in troops, how can we solve the problem of Bai Qi returning to the army?"

Siko Zhou Qi said: "Since General Le Yi can defeat Wei Ran and Sima Cuo, it is probably not a problem to face Bai Qi. Even if Bai Qi is in a big way and cannot win, the problem of General Le Yi defending Shangjun should not be big."

Zhou Qi finished speaking and received a lot of approval.

Confidence is supported by the record, and Le Yi's record has obviously supported people's confidence in him.

The master father glanced at Zhao He and said, "Wang'er, what do you think?"

Zhao He pondered for a moment and said, "Master, although Le Yi defeated Wei Ran and Sima Cuo, it was still quite difficult to defend Shangjun under Bai Qi's superior forces."

Le Yi is indeed a famous general of the world.

However, if Zhao He faces Bai Qi, who is known as the number one general in the Warring States Period, whether Le Yi can win or even defend it will be a question mark.

The master father was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it true that Wei Ran and Sima Cuo are not as good as Bai Qi in your heart?"

Not only the master father, but also the ministers of Zhao State present were somewhat surprised.

Although Wei Ran is more well-known as a powerful minister, it does not mean that he will not fight.

What country is Qin? It was a country that established the military merit system after the reform of Shang Jun Wei Yang.

In this country, most people can only gain a way out and gain wealth by going to the battlefield.

This is the only way!

In such a country, even if you want to be a powerful minister, you have to fight.

The whole nation is in the army. How can you, a person who can't fight, convince the public?

In fact, Wei Ran went on a war many times, with more victory than defeat.

As for Sima Chou, let alone.

Sima Cuo was seen in many battles between Qin and Chu Lantian, Danyang, Qin and Wei, Qin and Han.

Of course, the more famous one is the Battle of Qin to destroy Bashu.

Today, the famous Reissier Legion of Qin State was also established by Sima Cuo.

Sima Cuo fought throughout his life. Although he did not win all, he had only a handful of defeats, and was extremely rare, which was even better than Wei Ran.

And what about Bai Qi?

Although Bai Qi became famous in the Battle of Yique last year, and Bai Qi performed amazingly enough in that battle, but...

After all, it's just a battle.

Just like Le Yi was recognized by the ministers of Zhao after fighting two consecutive battles in Shangjun.

Moreover, if Le Yi surpassed Zhao State General Niu Jian, he would still not be recognized by most of the ministers present.

From Le Yi's perspective to Bai Qi, Bai Qi is stronger than Wei Ran and Sima Cuo? This...

Niu Jian coughed, stood up, and said seriously: "Master, the old minister thinks that although Bai Qi has some fame, he is still not as good as Wei Ran and Sima Chou. The king may be too proud of Bai Qi."

Zhao He shook his head slowly and said, "General, I am not an exaggeration. Bai Qi is a man with great sharpness, like a sword in a sheath, and he will hurt people when he comes out. Now there are not many people in Da Zhao who can beat Bai Qi... there are not many!"

It's not much to say, but in Zhao He's mind, there can be said that there is no one who can win Bai Qi with steadily.

Niu Jian shook his head and said, "If it is someone else, it will be difficult to win. But the old minister has worked with General Le Yi and knows the talent of General Le Yi. The old minister believes that since General Le Yi can defeat Wei Ran and Sima Chou, it is no problem to fight Bai Qi."

Zhao He was a little surprised and glanced at Niu Jian.

Unexpectedly, Le Yi impressed the General of Zhao with just one war.

Thinking of this, Zhao He suddenly felt a little amused.

Originally, Zhao He had confidence in Le Yi, but these ministers of Zhao State were not optimistic about Le Yi.

Now, Zhao He is not sure about Le Yi defeating Bai Qi, but these ministers of Zhao support Le Yi one by one.

...

At this moment, the Lord's father coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Wang'er, since you said it is not appropriate to start a large-scale war with Qin at this moment, you can't watch Le Yi fight against more than 100,000 Bai Qi's more than 100,000 people with 70,000 soldiers?"

Zhao He smiled and nodded, saying, "This is indeed the truth, so..."
