After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 238

Hearing this, Meng Di stopped talking, and he sighed in his heart, how can there be safety in war?After taking down Qiancheng, just send a large number of military lords to scout.

Then he can grasp the movement of Zhao Jianzi's main army, so that even if he has some calculations, this is exactly what he wants, and he can directly counterattack and destroy the troops of Wulu City first, and then quickly besiege the city.

A situation of besieging the city and fighting for aid has formed. At this point, Zhao Jianzi has completely fallen into a passive state. He will definitely seek to fight actively, hoping to break the deadlock, because Jin has been in chaos for so long, and domestic production must be affected.

So what the allied forces of the princes need to do now is to drag it down until the Jin army is dragged down, so that they can spend less effort and win this time. Of course, this is just what he thinks in his heart.

Since Gao Zhang does not agree now, he has done his best, so he has nothing to say.

After all, it is unrealistic to greatly weaken Zhao Jianzi's strength with his family's strength alone. Judging from the current situation, Gao Zhang is very wary of himself, so if he wants to achieve his goal, he has to find another opportunity.

Guoxia saw that the situation was a bit cold, so he immediately stood up and smoothed things over and said.

"Since it's a discussion, it's natural that there will be back and forth. Don't mind Mengzi. After all, we have dispatched so many troops. If we fail to win and return to the division, we will definitely be ridiculed by the people of the world."

At this time, Meng Di smiled, and directly admitted that his plan was somewhat insufficient.

"This is my king's lack of consideration. What Gao Xiangguo said is very reasonable, so I also feel that this plan is a bit inappropriate, and I completely agree with Gao Xiangguo's opinion. If this is the case, then this king will go back to reorganize the army."

"We're going to Weiguo soon, and this king will lead the cavalry to take a step ahead, so we have to go back and make some arrangements, so we won't stay here any longer. I hope this time we can come back triumphantly and avenge our shame."

After Mengdi left, Guoxia felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that Gao Zhang should not have spoken before, at least he had to wait until Mengdi had fully explained his plan, and then it would not be too late to refute.

As soon as Mengdi opened his mouth, he excused his lack of knowledge and left directly, clearly because he didn't want to discuss this matter any more, which made Guoxia start to worry, so he hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Should we consider Mengzi's suggestion? If we win Qiancheng, we can not only help Handan and Chaoge, but also threaten Wulu City. Moreover, our army is large. Even if Zhao Jianzi attacks with all his strength, we will go head-on. .”

"Maybe after this battle, we will be able to win this war, and then after returning to Qi, we can also have an explanation to Qihou. Although it is a bit risky, it is worth a try."

But Gao Zhang did shake his head slowly, his eyes filled with thought, and he said after a while.

"What you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about it? The allied armies of the princes have their own ideas. If the battle goes well this time, they will follow us to fight. Otherwise, they will probably disperse like birds and beasts."

"At that time, we will be left with Qi's army to fight against Jin. What do you think the chances of winning are? Don't forget that Zhao Jianzi successfully defeated the coalition of princes last time, which has cast a shadow on many people's hearts."

"Under such circumstances, the best thing we can do is to accumulate small victories into big victories. Steady progress is the best policy. This will not only boost morale, but also make those vassal states more convinced of our Qi State. "

"The battle in front of us is a dignified battle. If we are not careful, it is very likely that our Qi country will fall into a doomed situation, so we can't take risks at this time. Mengdi's suggestion may not be without evil intentions."

To put it bluntly, Gao Zhang doesn't believe in Mengdi, this is the most important thing, he has a very clear plan, Zhao Jianzi will not let Wulu City fall, so he will definitely send troops to help, at this time Mengdi will be at the front .

In this way, the cavalry of the Han State will definitely lose a lot, so it will be a good thing for the future of Qi State. If troops are sent to attack Qiancheng at this time, the coalition forces of the princes will be in front.

Gao Zhang didn't think he was stupid, so he wouldn't make such a choice, so he naturally wouldn't agree.

After returning to the barracks, Meng Di sighed softly and said to Yu Rang.

"Looking at the current situation, Gao Zhang wants to consume our strength. Because of this, he can no longer see the general situation clearly. As the leader of an army, this is really sad, since they are unwilling to accept my opinion."

"Then there is no benefit in staying in the army. You will then go down and send an order to tell the army to leave the camp early tomorrow morning after having a full meal tonight. Now Zhao Jianzi must be thinking about countermeasures."

"We just took advantage of this opportunity to find out the surrounding mountainous terrain. There are many conditions needed to win the war. We are fighting with the Greek army. If we don't work hard, we may be cut off."

"Presumably there are still some Jin troops who don't have time to retreat, so they just take care of it, replenish our food, and control our own retreat."

Yu Rang nodded after listening, hesitated for a while and didn't speak, but turned around and prepared to leave.

And Meng Di had seen his expression in his eyes, and finally he just smiled and spoke directly.

"It doesn't matter if you have something to say, there is no need to be scruples."

After hearing this, Yu Rang clasped his fists together, and said with an uncertain expression on his face.

"In this way, we may go deep alone. If Zhao Jianzi cuts off the retreat, it will be very dangerous. Therefore, the subordinates feel that we should not take such risks and let the army fall into danger."

Meng Di didn't care about his worries, but he still explained patiently.

"Before the expedition, I specially allocated three horses to each person, just to prevent accidents from happening. If the situation you mentioned really happens, then our army can continue to attack day and night."

"If Zhao Jianzi has already strengthened the wall and cleared the wilderness, then we will cross the Taihang Mountains, enter the hinterland of the Jin State, and enter the Zheng State through Luoyi. In this way, we will be able to escape the siege."

"If this road doesn't work, then we will go directly to Handan, and then transfer to Yan Country, so that we can be safe."
