Chapter 58: On Paper 7

The person who came out to oppose this time was not the court minister, but Zhao She's wife and Zhao Kuo's biological mother, which made King Zhao a little strange.

Driven by curiosity, King Zhao quickly put down what he was doing and immediately met Zhao Kuo's mother.

Because as parents, they wanted their son to be appointed as the general, but now Zhao Kuo's mother comes to oppose it, and she must have her own reasons.

When Zhao's mother saw King Xiaocheng of Zhao, she first conveyed her husband Zhao She's assessment of her son: "The army is a place of death, and it is easy to say that Zhao will not be able to surround him. If he must enforce him, those who destroy Zhao will definitely surround him."

After hearing this, King Zhao was a little hesitant about replacing Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, because Zhao She's ability to identify and employ people is obvious to all!

The reason why Zhao's mother came forward to oppose Zhao Kuo as a general was also a plan left by Zhao She before her death. When she saw Zhao Wang pondering, she thought that using the words left by her husband did not work.

Zhao's mother was anxious and hurriedly said to King Zhao: "I served his father Zhao She. At that time, he was a general. He personally held dozens of people who served food and drink. He treated hundreds of people as friends. All the things rewarded by the king and the royal family were distributed to military officials and subordinates. From the day he received the order, he no longer cared about family affairs and focused on military affairs. Now, as soon as Zhao Kuo was the general, he faced the east to accept the court of his subordinates. None of the military officials dared to look up at him. He took all the gold and silk rewarded by the king home to collect them, and he also visited cheap and suitable fields and real estate every day, and bought them. The king thought he was not like his father? The father and son had different hearts, and hoped that the king would not send him to lead troops to fight."

Zhao's mother's words were a bit extravagant! Because King Zhao promoted Zhao Kuo to general, he had only a few days to lead an elite soldier, and he was basically trained in the military camp and had no time to do what Zhao's mother said!

In fact, what Zhao's mother said was not fabricated out of thin air. This was what she looked like when she followed her father to lead the army. At that time, Zhao Kuo was young and energetic, and had a bit of a powerful figure.

King Zhao was a little hesitant, and he regarded Zhao's mother's obvious false words as a mother's little selfish concerns based on the safety of her son!

King Zhao instantly made up his mind and said to Zhao's mother: "You just put this matter down and don't worry about it, I have decided."

Zhao Kuo's mother looked dark, and she remembered Zhao She's advice to protect her family, and said to King Zhao:

"The king must send my son to lead the troops. If he is incompetent, can our family not be implicated?"

King Zhao did not take this seriously and made a promise casually that if Zhao Kuo was defeated in the war, he would not hold Zhao She's clan accountable.

When King Zhao tried every means to break the deadlock, King Qin was not idle, and he didn't want to waste it, and wanted to defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop.

He saw through King Zhao's original intention, and he was unable to seek war, so he naturally would not show weakness. Before the war began, he was determined to use the strength of the whole country to win this battle!

Although King Xiaocheng of Zhao took the lead in changing command, he did not make any further moves! After sending Zhao Kuo out, he actually took a desperate bet. He handed over the military rations that could be used and the army that could be mobilized to Zhao Kuo and took away!

The only thing King Zhao can do now is to guard Handan City and wait for news of Zhao Kuo's victory or failure!

When King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Fan Sui learned of the news that Zhao army had changed their commander and knew that the opportunity had come, they quietly changed the candidate for the commander of the Qin army in Changping to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi, also known as Gongsun Qi, has created one war miracle after another during his more than 30 years of joining the army.

In the hearts of Qin soldiers, Bai Qi was like a god of war. As long as he led his troops to fight, the soldiers' eyes were full of fanaticism, and their combat power increased by more than 30% out of thin air!

In the Battle of Changping, the Qin State did not give up Bai Qi as the ace, but appointed Wang Yan, whose official position and qualifications were obviously inferior to Bai Qi, as the head coach, and it was obvious that he had a backup plan.

Zhao Kuo took over Lian Po's position as the head coach and had long had his own plans. He not only brought all his trusted guards to ensure his life safety on the battlefield.

And he brought most of the old foundation left by his father and those grassroots generals who had experienced many battles with him.

After arriving at the front line, Zhao Kuo immediately replaced most of the generals in the army, basically mastered the army, and prepared to turn defense into offense.

When Zhao Kuo first arrived, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he strengthened training and established prestige according to the military tactics taught by his father. He asked the generals and soldiers to strengthen the running-in, of course, he would kill the chicken to scare the monkey and eliminate some disobedient generals to establish their authority.

When Zhao Kuo was about to prepare, Bai Qi had already completed his plan. Both sides started a small-scale tentative attack at the same time, and the war was about to begin!

After several small fights, the Qin Bing was still at a disadvantage. Bai Qi did it on purpose, which made the morale of the Zhao army much better.

The war between the two sides finally came! The frontal troops sent by Bai Qi began to retreat after a period of stalemate. Although the Qin army was not in a favorable battlefield situation, Bai Qi pretended to lose in order to deceive the defeat and lure the enemy into deep.

On the flank of the Zhao army, Bai Qi had already arranged 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 elite infantry as mobile troops, interspersed in circles, separating Zhao Kuo from the Zhao army in the rear, and cooperating with the main force when necessary.

Zhao Kuo, who commanded a large-scale army battle alone for the first time, led the Zhao army to counterattack and attack, seemed to have become a powerful general who charged and had an indomitable momentum!

He didn't even care about who the Qin army general was or whether he had used conspiracies or tricks. He just wanted to kill the master, use attack as defense and turn defeat into victory!

Zhao Kuo personally led the main force to attack, but Bai Qi chose to pretend to lose because he wanted to plot against Zhao Kuo. Shortly after the battle, the Qin army began to be defeated on the whole line.

According to Bai Qi's prediction, Zhao Kuo is known for his military plan. Seeing such a strange situation, he will definitely not dare to pursue him at will. He can calmly conquer the defeated troops and wait for Zhao Kuo's arrival in the next defensive camp.

If Lian Po was still leading the army, Bai Qi would not dare to do so. This is also the main reason why Bai Qi asked to replace Lian Po!

Because as a famous general of a generation, Lian Po did not have enough overall view of the situation and had average strategic attainments, he was a tactical genius and had an extremely sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, as long as Lian Po seizes a small opportunity, because Lian Po is brave and leads the way, he will infinitely expand his results! Bai Qi's fake defeat and pretends to lose will likely turn into a big defeat and lose!
