After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 190 Taking Risks
Meng Di, who was in charge of transporting grain and grass, shook his head helplessly after receiving the battle report.

"After fighting for so long, my vigilance is getting lower and lower. I was actually touched by the enemy. I didn't realize it until I got close. If it wasn't because Zi Yao and Zi's response was decent, Zheng Guo's army might be finished this time."

"If they can find out some formations early and find out the details of Zhao Jianzi, then this battle may come to the end, and it may not be clear who will win and who will win. It is really a waste of opportunity."

After Shi Huang heard this, his face showed disdain, and he nodded in agreement.

"Leading troops in battle should be prudent. You can only improve your chances of winning if you are prepared and unprepared. Like Zheng Guo's army, they wanted to grab credit when they came, but now they can't attack for a long time. After a long time, the morale Definitely going down.”

"After experiencing such a failure this time, the morale of the army is even more depressed. Under such circumstances, if there is another war, I am afraid that Zheng Guo's army will win or lose. With such abilities, they dare to underestimate the lord. It is really a shame. ridiculous."

Hearing what he said, Meng Di laughed, reached out and patted his shoulder and said.

"It doesn't matter if you are underestimated by others. The most important thing is that you have strength. Let them suffer. As long as we defeat Zhao Yang's men, then our reputation will definitely shock the world."

"And judging from the current situation, I think Zhao Jianzi is likely to lead his troops back secretly. The reason is very simple. Qi State is the main force of this attack. Luchuan's position is too important. If it is captured by Qi State."

"Then the state of Jin is equivalent to losing its barrier. When the Qi people directly attack Jinyang, the headquarters of the Zhao family, the strength of the Zhao family will be greatly damaged. Then the state of Jin is likely to decline from this."

"Zhao Jianzi is a man who knows how to fight. His goal at this time must be to repel the Qi army first, and then turn around to deal with the coalition army led by Zheng Guo. In this way, the danger of the Jin country can be lifted."

"We don't care about anything now, just escort our own food and grass with peace of mind, and tell the brothers below to practice with peace of mind. I'm afraid we will be famous in one battle in a short time, and the world will know that we are cavalrymen of the Han Kingdom!"

Although he said so, in his heart, Meng Di did not mean to despise Zhao Yang. The current situation is that Zhao Yang is weak and the coalition forces are strong. Under such circumstances, Zhao Yang can still make such a calm move .

That shows that he is very confident in his judgment of the situation, which also makes him have some expectations in his heart, but he doesn't know who will win in the end when the two sides start a war.

Most of the cavalry veterans on his side carry iron armor and iron knives in their packages, and the horses have been equipped with stirrups, but they haven't been taken out yet.

But this time he didn't have a crossbow. It's not yet that time. Compared with cavalry and infantry, crossbowmen will start to be set up after these two arms have been brought into full play.

Without a strong front army to resist the enemy, relying on crossbowmen alone to dominate the world is a dream.

After the first battle, the morale of Zheng Guo's army was really low. After a truce for nearly half a month, they received news from Qi Guo's army that the battle situation in Luchuan was becoming more and more favorable to the coalition forces of the princes.

Under the leadership of Zi Yao and Zi Bing, Zheng Guo's army regrouped and attacked Baiquan again, but this time they had to be more careful. When attacking, they did not forget to maintain their formation at all times, and were always on guard against Zhao Yang leading troops to attack again.

At this time, Zhao Yang, who had won two consecutive victories, was also full of confidence. He was ready now and was ready to take the main force to Luchuan. led the coalition of princes.

This time, it was decided to go directly to Hukou and launch an attack from the back of Qi's army. In this way, the opponent could be caught off guard, and secondly, it could also block Qi's access to supplies.

This is a very risky decision. If Qi's army ignores it at this time and storms Luchuan, as long as it wins here, it can break into the interior of Jin. When the time comes, there will be a battle to support the battle, and the battle will be very difficult. It is possible to become unpredictable.

Zhao Yang's retainer You Liang put forward his own opinions on this military operation.

"My lord, at this time, we should think of a way to repel the Qi army. Although cutting off the opponent's retreat can throw them into chaos, it may also provoke them and attack Luchuan regardless."

"Once you allow them to flee to the interior of the Jin Kingdom, your reputation in the Jin Kingdom will plummet, my lord. This is not a good thing for us. Although Sophon supports us on the surface, he is still wary of the lord in his heart. "

"Under such circumstances, we should seek stability and not be so dangerous. Therefore, I believe that the main attack should cancel this operation and directly send troops to Luchuan."

Zhao Yang also affirmed his worry, and he explained patiently.

"Under the current situation, if Qi's military strength cannot be greatly weakened, then they are likely to attack us again in the future. This is the real loss for us."

"Although this military operation is a bit risky, Gao Zhang and Guoxia marched in a regular manner. They would never think of such an adventurous military operation, and they would not do it. At that time, they will definitely counterattack with all their strength and want to win the war. Get down the spout."

"At that time, we will wait for work at leisure. As long as we defeat the Qi army, the coalition forces of the princes will automatically collapse, so that we will not be attacked in the future. After all, our strength is too small now."

"It would be very unfavorable for us if we fought head-on, so Zhao did this as a last resort. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

You Liang naturally knew that what he said was the truth, and he had already said what he should say as a retainer, so he had done his duty. Under such circumstances, seeing Zhao Yang so insisting on his opinion, he just Can clasp his fists and say.

"As a retainer, it is my responsibility to persuade the lord. Since the lord thinks so, I will definitely follow the lord to fight to the death. I hope everything will be as the lord expected. Otherwise, my Zhao family will definitely be blamed for this in the future."

How could Zhao Yang not understand this truth? If others don't mention it, they will say that the current Chinese general Zhixuan is not much less wary of himself than Fan Xianzi, but he still decides to do it.
