Chapter 8 Cutting corners

"What is Li Mu doing recently?" Guo Kai thought about it and asked his escort Li.

Li was silent for a while before speaking: "After Wu'an Jun met Handan, he had contacted General Sima Shang, and he had not gone out in the General's Mansion for other times, so we dared not investigate."

"General Shen, why are you here this time?" Guo Kai looked at Wu Chenzi and asked. The Mo family put chivalrous first and could not help him deal with Li Mu. It would be good not to help Li Mu deal with him, so he couldn't understand why Wu Chenzi was looking for him.

Wu Chenzi looked at Guo Kai and changed his mind. He also wanted to know how he could fool Guo Kai from looking for Guo Kai to help him transfer Li Mu's personal guard camp. He originally wanted to come and see Guo Kai, and then go back to find a way to get a suitable vest and sneak into Guo Kai's mansion, and then find a way to use Guo Kai's hand to capture Li Mu. But the man's plan is not as good as the god's plan. Who knew that he would meet Han Cang and was introduced to Guo Kai by Han Cang.

"City Defense!" Han Cang said, then glanced at Guo Kai's guards, obviously not believing these people.

Wu Chenzi heard Han Cang's words and instantly flashed his mind. Yes, Guo Kai loves money, but in the end he was killed by robbers because he was reluctant to give up money. The city defense was huge, and he could also take the opportunity to trick Zhao's defense map.

When Guo Kai heard Han Cang's words, he looked at Wu Chenzi and Shao Siming again, and immediately understood that he had never heard of such a beautiful beauty around Han Shen. Why did such a beauty follow him as soon as he left the Mo family? It was only because Han Shen was also the same as before and behind, and was a fellow man with them. Therefore, the purpose of Han Shen's visit this time was obviously to collude with him and Han Cang, and to greed for the money for repair of Mo City, the benefits were huge.

"Qin State attacks Zhao, city defense is the key, and it cannot be faked!" Guo Kai said silent for a moment. He was not stupid either. If there was a problem with the city defense and the Qin army was defeated with one blow, Zhao State would be lost, and he would lose his current power. He could still distinguish the cart before the horse.

Wu Chenzi smiled and said, "The Qin State will not care about those marginal small cities when attacking. As long as the county fortress is not broken, what can the Qin army occupy even if the small cities are occupied? Similarly, if the county is captured, no matter how good the fortifications are, it will not solve the end of the fall of the township."

Guo Kai and Han Cang both realized in an instant that the large fortress and county town remained unmoved and only worked in small counties. No one would find out that if fortresses like Que and City were all caught, even if the fortifications in the small county town were increased by a hundred times, how could they resist the conquests of the Qin Iron Cavalry?

"No, no, Li Muhui found out. He has been trying to find a way to cause trouble for me and can't leave any verbal words for him." Guo Kai finally shook his head and said.

Wu Chenzi smiled and said, "Suang Guo forgot who accepted the inspection of the city defense fortifications?"

When Guo Kai heard Wu Chenzi's words, he was stunned at first, and then he realized that the city defense fortifications of the six countries in Shandong were all supervised by the Mo family, and the final acceptance was also jointly accepted by the Mo family leader and the Tomb Prison. In other words, the two people responsible for the acceptance are here, and they have the final say whether they meet the requirements or not.

"There is another thing that Guo Xiang needs to do." Wu Chenzi continued.

"Please tell me, Chief Shen!" Guo Kai asked in confusion. The acceptance was here, and there was nothing he needed to do.

"In case, if the Qin army really attacks the county town first, then what we plan will be leaked." Wu Chenzi said.

Guo Kai also understood that he had experienced the battle between Qin and Zhao. At that time, Li Mu would definitely strengthen the walls and clear the fields and gather everything to the nearby county town. The Qin army could only attack the county town. At that time, their fortifications would be exposed. But looking at Wu Chenzi's expression, he must have thought of a corresponding way to deal with it.

"Is Commander Shen a way?" Guo Kai asked.

"Guo Xiangke knows how many troops the Qin State sent in this battle between Qin and Zhao?" Wu Chenzi asked in a pretentious manner.

Guo Kai frowned. Until now, Handan only knew that the Qin army had Wang Jian as the main general, Meng Wu as the deputy general, and Yang Duanhe as the vanguard. However, the specific forces, except for the original 100,000 troops of Shangdang, and how many troops were sent in the Qin territory, they had not yet known and were still under investigation.

"Is there any news about Qin State?" Guo Kai asked. The Mo family disciples were spread across the seven countries. Maybe he really knew that the number of troops sent by Qin State might not be certain. If he had obtained the Qin army's strength first, it would be a great achievement.

"The Qin State sent 200,000 troops to Xianyang, plus the Shangdang 100,000 Qin troops, a total of 300,000." Wu Chenzi said lightly.

"Only 200,000?" Guo Kai was stunned. Looking at Wu Chenzi, he couldn't believe that Qin's attack on Zhao had only mobilized 200,000 troops.

"Yes, so Guo Xiang knows the purpose of Qin Jun this time, right?" Wu Chenzi said with a smile.

"Surprise the city and territories!" Guo Kai reacted. If Qin wanted to destroy Zhao, he would definitely not have only 200,000 troops. In addition, Shangdang was only 300,000. Zhao originally had Li Mu's 100,000 Wuling Iron Cavalry, plus the 100,000 gathered in various places, and the 15 cities of Yan State that he had just won could also raise 100,000 troops, and the same 300,000 troops.

Three hundred thousand vs. Three hundred thousand, the power is evenly matched, and it is completely unsure of the fact that Zhao State is destroyed. After all, after the Qin army occupied Zhao territory, it still had to divide its troops to garrison. It is impossible for the real available troops to have 300,000. Li Mu had 100,000 cavalry, and the cavalry had an advantage over the infantry. Qin State could not make such a mistake, so Qin State sent troops this time just to capture the city and occupy land, not to destroy Zhao.

"Is the news accurate for Brother Shen?" Han Cang also understood, his eyes lit up. This was a great achievement. The entire Zhao State is now speculating on the purpose of the Qin army's dispatch of troops. If what Wu Chenzi said was true, then what they could operate was not just the oil and water of the city defense fortifications. "It's not that the brother doesn't believe me, but that the military and national affairs cannot be careless." Han Cang added.

"I know!" Wu Chenzi nodded, and then said, "This time Qin State went on an expedition, Wang Jian was the main general and Meng Wu was the deputy general. Wang Jian arrived at Shangdang first and took over Shangdang Qin army. He led 150,000 infantry and 50,000 iron cavalry to get out of the underworld. Although Meng Wu used the method of increasing the fire of the camp to confuse the scouts, my Mo family disciples found the real strength of the Qin army from the marching of the team."

"In other words, the Qin State went to the expedition this time to destroy Zhao, and was jealous of our Zhao State taking the fifteen cities on the south bank of the Yishui River in Yan State. We didn't want to give me a chance to breathe and get a share of the pie." Guo Kai said with his fingers on the table. He felt that he had guessed the purpose of Qin State. Zhao State had just obtained the fifteen cities in Yan, and Qin State could not allow Zhao State to grow and grow. Therefore, he suddenly launched this war, with the purpose of just seizing some cities in Zhao State and limiting the development of Zhao State.

Wu Chenzi smiled slightly and refused to comment. I just told you that Qin sent 200,000 troops, 50,000 of which were cavalry or came out of seclusion. As for what I thought, it was your business.

"What Shen needs Guo Xiang to do is to report the number of Qin troops up after the city is lost. In this way, the problem is not the fortifications of my Mo family, but the attacks of the Qin army exceed the expected range." Wu Chenzi continued.

Guo Kai thought about it and found that every city defense has its own defense standards. For example, Que and City, which is known as the number one fortress of Zhao, were designed to withstand the impact of 600,000 troops. The best city defense in small counties and towns is to defend against tens of thousands of people. Once something happens, they can go to work and say that they are attacked by the main force of the Qin army. The same martial arts of Jin, those who lose the city will die! The county magistrates who fallen into the city will not all want to die, but will cooperate with them to say that the Qin army is too strong and exceeds the estimate to escape the crime.

"This matter is agreed." Guo Kai finally agreed to Wuchenzi's plan. After all, it was not really destroyed Zhao State, and the city and territory were lost. Li Mu, as the commander of the army, must bear the corresponding responsibilities, and he can also take the opportunity to suppress Li Mu.

When Han Cang saw Guo Kai agreeing, he was relieved. As the Tomb Prison of Zhao Guo, he knew best how much oil and water there was in the city defense fortifications. Even if several big cities were deducted, the sum of other small cities was still in the millions. After half of the break, they could still have 500,000. Three people shared the spoils, and no one had at least 100,000.

"For the specific amount of money, Shen needs to get the city defense map of Zhao State before he can make detailed plans with Brother Cang." Wu Chenzi continued, and finally used a killing weapon to get the construction map of Zhao State, and then destroy the city defense. Li Mu was afraid that he would bump around like a headless fly.

"There are two city defense maps in total, one in the General's Mansion and the other in the royal palace." Han Cang frowned and said, then thought for a while and said, "I can temporarily lend the city defense maps, and I must send them back after the discussion."

Wu Chenzi nodded to show that he understood that this kind of thing was naturally in the hands of King Zhao and the General. Han Cang could contact him and he could look up to him, let alone borrow it. The key point of the painting was to borrow it! Han Cang could actually borrow the city defense map from King Zhao Qian. Without seeing King Zhao Qian, you can know how stupid Zhao Qian was.

However, none of them were good soldiers. Needless to say, Guo Kai and Han Cang were completely unaware of the soldiers. Wu Chenzi was also half a bucket of water. What they didn't know was the consequences of their plans. The leak of city defense maps was not a big problem for Li Mu. After all, it was not the first time that the opponent had taken the city defense maps by the other party to the city defense maps. The military strategists also had ways to deal with them. What really caused Li Mu was lying about military information and exaggerating the scale of the Qin army, which led to the main force of Li Mu, who actually lost the trace of the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Jian in his own territory of Zhao State. Li Mu, who was determined to defeat Wang Jian's army in one battle, failed to find the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Jian for a decisive battle. Instead, Wang Jian picked up fragments all the way and picked up the city of Handan, and did not encounter decent resistance.

"What does Commander Shen mean just said that Li Mu will attack me?" Guo Kai continued to ask. Li Mu had many masters. If he was assassinated by morality, he would be extremely likely to die. Moreover, for Zhao State, Li Mu was desperate and could not do it.

"Don't Guo Xiang know?" Wu Chenzi said lightly. If he was Li Mu, no matter what morality you are, just kill all the slandered officials such as Guo Kai under the banner of clearing the ruling lords. If you do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, just learn from Huo Guang.

"Wu'an Jun's eighteen guards, known as the 18 cavalry of Yanmen, are all first-class masters. Can Commander Shen have a way to transfer the Mo family swordsmen to protect his true nature?" Guo Kai thought for a while and asked, it is easy to avoid open guns, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. Li Mu wanted to kill him, but it is not enough to rely on his disciples and dead soldiers. But his lack of it does not mean that the Mo family does not have it. If the Mo family is willing to help, his sense of security will be higher.

Wu Chenzi thought about it and was still thinking about how to put people into the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhao State. As a result, Guo Kai was so cowardly. If Li Mu really wanted to kill him, could he survive until now? However, Guo Kai was afraid of death and asked Bai Zhong or Zhang Han to arrange some Luowang killers or Ying Sewei Guards to go in, and protect Guo Kai openly and secretly, and could also steal intelligence information.

"Yes, but I can't tell anyone I sent!" Wu Chenzi said hesitantly.

"Why?" Guo Kai was a little confused. The Mo family sent someone to protect him. He also wanted to promote it so that Li Mu would be cautious and dare not take action.

"Guo Xiang's reputation is a bit unsightly." Wu Chenzi said hesitantly, as if he was considering how to use the better words.

Guo Kai also understood that he was exiled by the farmer family and had a very bad reputation among the hundreds of families. It was normal that the Mo family knights were unwilling to protect him. He nodded awkwardly and said, "I understand the truth, but the Battle of Changping really had nothing to do with me!"

Wu Chenzi was also a little stunned when he looked at Guo Kai. Seeing Guo Kai's appearance, it didn't seem to be a false statement, but what was the story therein? So he poured a glass of water and wine, looking at a gentle and gentle look.

Seeing this, Guo Kai spoke bitterly, "The Battle of Changping was thirty-three years ago, and now I am only forty-five years old. In other words, during the Battle of Changping, I was only twelve years old and had no one or half positions. I was just a young master to accompany him to study. How could I control the situation of that kind of battle?"

"???" Wu Chenzi was stunned for a moment. Because the Battle of Changping was too tragic, even the historian records did not record it in detail. It only recorded that King Xiaocheng of Zhao was deceived by his confidant, so he changed his generals in the last battle, allowing Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po. As for whom he was, there was no record of it, so it was considered Guo Kai.

"King Xiaocheng of Zhao!" Wu Chenzi realized that Guo Kai was in Zhao State when King Zhao was invading, that is, King Daoxiang of Zhao. During the Battle of Changping, not only Guo Kai had no say, but Li Mu was just a young general at that time, let alone being able to participate in such a war.

"Later I checked the war report that year. In the Battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, the troops dispatched by both sides were the highest in history." Guo Kai said that the combined forces of both sides invested nearly one million in the Battle of Changping. If you are not careful, the country will be destroyed.
