Chapter 452: Li Rubing Orders Soldiers

Li Rubing needs 25 to 30 soldiers to attack Chu. If he agrees, Zhao will need to remove most of the soldiers and horses guarding the surrounding borders. Empty, Zhang Xian has to hesitate, especially now that his throne is not too stable, if the country is empty, if something happens, Zhang Xian may be pulled down, but Li Rubing and Zhuang Ping The prospect outlined for Zhang Xian is too good. As long as he can successfully take over the Chu State, and at the same time regain the lost land, he will also take down the three territories that Zhao State has never touched, Pengcheng County, Xiapi County, and Guangling County. It made up for the losses of Chenliu County, Chen County, Liang County, Henan County, and Hanoi County greatly. In this way, Zhang Xian's position was considered stable.

Where there is danger, there is opportunity. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. With Li Rubing leading the army to fight against the aging Zhang Di, Zhang Xian is not worried. As long as Deng Guo does not intervene, Zhao Guo's annexation of Chu State is already a certainty Things are up, the benefits of taking Chu and securing the throne are enough for Zhang Xian to take the risk, so Zhang Xian gritted his teeth, nodded, and said: "Okay, I will give you 30 soldiers and horses, All the generals in the court will be selected by the general, as long as the general likes it, they can take it to the Central Plains!"

Li Rubing was overjoyed when he heard the words. With 30 troops in hand, it would be no problem to devour Chu State, so he bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to your Majesty's expectations. In this battle, we will win Chu State and make our Zhao Guowei more powerful! "

After bidding farewell to King Zhao and Zhang Xian, Li Rubing went directly to the camp outside the city without stopping for a moment, and gathered all his confidants and generals to discuss the matter of sending troops.

Zhao Jun’s camp outside Jinyang City, and in the Chinese Army’s large tent, all the famous and surnamed generals of Zhao’s army gathered, but most of them were young and strong. A large number of old ministers were purged. Most of the supporters of the court Mi Fang, the military Sima Chong, and Zhang Chuan were killed, and those who were dismissed were dismissed. Most of them are just sloppy things.

Li Rubing's four major generals Kou Fei, Dong Zhong, Le Ting, and Zhang Jie are impressively listed. In addition to some young men, there are also a group of veterans such as Le Yun, Tu Gao, and Chen Ping, who are no longer the number one fierce generals of the Zhao Kingdom. And some rising stars such as Zhuang Ao.

"Everyone, just now, the king has approved the general's plan to attack Chu, and this time there are 30 soldiers and horses with the general!" After everyone gathered, Li Rubing couldn't wait to tell everyone The good news was announced.

Kou Fei, Dong Zhong, etc., as the promoters of Li Rubing's plan to attack Chu, were naturally very happy when they heard the news, but the veterans headed by Le Yun were not very happy. Young generals, these old generals from the era of King Zhao Wei and Zhao Xin are becoming more and more marginalized. If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhao’s famous generals withered after the Langmeng Rebellion, and they still have deep connections in the army. Prestige, I'm afraid it has been eliminated long ago, how can it still be today?If Li Rubing is allowed to break the state of Chu and return to the court victorious, will these veterans still have a place to stand?
Li Rubing obviously noticed the strangeness on the faces of the veterans. Ever since he became General Zhao Guo, Li Rubing's thoughts have become more delicate. For veterans like Le Yun, Li Rubing has always respected them very much. After all, without them, there would be no today. Zhao Guo, even Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong who had died, even though they were rivals in the past, Li Rubing admired Zhang Chuan and Sima Chong, veterans who had made great achievements for Zhao Guo's hegemony.

Li Rubing said to Le Yun: "General Le, there are many great generals from the Chu State. You are the number one general of our Great Zhao. This time the conquest of Chu State will require General Le's efforts, and all the generals are well-known in our Great Zhao." General, it is up to you whether I, Da Zhao, can successfully take down Chu State this time and revive my prestige!"

Not just talking to Le Yun alone, Li Rubing’s words are also speaking to everyone here. After Zhao Xin’s death, the Zhao Kingdom has gone through many changes. The faction is the main one, but they have to rely on these veterans.

"Please don't worry, General, the last general will do his best to win the Chu State for my Great Zhao, and praise my Great Zhao Guowei!" All the people present, whether they were young or veterans, said in unison, especially the veterans, despite They were very dissatisfied with Li Rubing's method of helping Zhang Xian seize the throne and the purge of the court and the military afterwards, but they were not ambiguous at all about such a major event related to the future of Zhao.

Seeing that everyone expressed that they would fully support him, Li Rubing's heart is also settled. Now Zhao Guo is not afraid of a strong opponent, but the only thing he is afraid of is that the internal people will not be in harmony, which will lead to the loss of fighting opportunities. This is not what Li Rubing wants to see.

Li Rubing nodded in satisfaction, then led everyone to Yutu, pointed to the border area between Zhao State and Chu State, and said: "When Zhang Chuan led the King of Chu to flee Linzi and return to Pengcheng, there was only one county in Pengcheng. Later, when my great Zhao went south, with the support of Deng Guo, I took the opportunity to occupy Xiapi County and Guangling County. Chu's strength was greatly depleted, and he was afraid of the Deng State in the south, so he let Chu State go, so that he followed in the footsteps of Deng Qin and took away the Pei County of our Great Zhao after the Central Plains War. "

Speaking of all kinds of conflicts between Zhao State and Chu State, all the generals of Zhao State present were also very indignant. On the surface, Deng Qin hurt Zhao State the most, but it was Chu State who benefited the most from Zhao State. , taking advantage of several wars, from one county to today's four counties, basically restored half of the country in the prosperous Chu period, and all of this originally belonged to Zhao.

Thinking of this, all the generals of the Zhao State were also very angry, so they said to Li Rubing in unison: "This time the attack on the Chu State, the last general will obey the general's military order, and the general will ask the general to do what you want to do. Signal!"

Li Rubing nodded, pointed to the map and said: "Chu's military strength is about 10 people. According to the news from Chu's territory, Chu has 2 elite troops stationed in the capital Pengcheng all the year round. 3 soldiers and horses were stationed in Fuyang City, an important town in the north of Pengcheng County, 1 elite troops were stationed in Fengxian County and Peicheng County in Pei County, and the remaining [-] people were stationed in Xiapi County and Guangling County. The ten thousand people are the soldiers and horses of the Chu King City, and no one can move them at will without the order of the King of Chu."

Li Rubing briefly talked about the distribution of soldiers and horses in the territory of Chu, and everyone nodded after listening. Chu has fought repeatedly in the past ten years. The ground could not stop for a moment, causing a large number of people to flee to the south of Deng State, so that Chu State was sitting in four rich and prosperous places in the Central Plains, but there were not many soldiers and horses that could be used.

After talking about the situation in Chu State, Li Rubing said again: "This time, our army has 30 soldiers, and we have an absolute advantage in every aspect, but Zhang Di, the general of Chu State, is also a famous general who has experienced many battles. Well, if a 30 army is against a [-] Chu army, our army will not be able to win for a while. If it takes a long time, I am afraid that Deng Guo in the south will send troops, so I thought that our army should give full play to its superiority in strength. , the soldiers are divided into several groups, everyone, please look!"

After that, Li Rubing called everyone to come to the map, pointed to the map and said: "My Dazhao's Jiyin County, Shanyang County, Rencheng County, Taishan County, Lu County, and Donghai County are all bordering on Chu State. Therefore, our army can choose many marching routes. The general planned to divide the troops into three groups, each with [-] soldiers and horses. Among them, the general personally led an army of [-] troops from Lu County to the south, approaching Pengcheng, the capital of Chu State. Generals Fei, Le Ting, and Le Yun led an army of [-] troops southward from Shanyang County to capture Pei County, accompanied by generals Chen Ping and Tu Gao, and General Dong Zhong led an army of [-] troops southward from Donghai County to capture Xiapi County. Generals Zhuang Ao and Zhang Jie accompanying the army, do you have any questions?"

Li Rubing's plan was already perfect, as for the final result, it could only depend on God's will, at least they didn't think there was any problem, so they all shook their heads, expressing that they had no objection.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Rubing straightened his face and said: "Everyone, this battle is very important to my Dazhao. Only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed. The speed of the march must be fast. When it brings troubles, take down the entire Chu State in one fell swoop, otherwise, when Deng Jun goes north, I am afraid it will only increase the variables again!"
