Chapter 740: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (12)

Walking out of his mother's residence, Lu Chao straightened up again from his slightly bent body. His gentle eyes in front of his mother and wife became cold again. The servants and guards in the courtyard looked at Lu Chao's figure and lowered their heads in fear. This was the familiar Qin minister who held the lives and deaths of countless Han people in his hand, and the Han garrison Lu Chao.

His mind quickly completed the transformation from son, husband to Qin general. There is no better time to attack Wei than now. Wei's ally Zhao is now busy with its own affairs. Their main force is divided into two parts. One part is led by Jing Rufeng in Hedong and Li Xin. I believe Li Xin will make a series of moves in the near future to firmly stick Jing Rufeng to Hedong. The other part of the main force is led by Zhao Qi, who is in full swing of the civil war. However, Dai County has always stood firm under the support of thousands of cavalry of Yan's expeditionary army, which has put the Zhao army in a dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat. The only thing they can do is to quickly end the confrontation with Yan and withdraw the Zhao army led by Zhou Changshou from the border of Yan and Zhao, and then transfer them to Wei. The journey is long. Even if they arrive thousands of miles away, how much effect can they have? Or by that time, their army has already taken over the entire territory of Wei.

War of annihilation of the country. This thought made Lu Chao's heart burn. Since the founding of Qin, there have been only a few wars to destroy a country. Now, the only general who destroyed a country who is still alive is Li Xin. Now, he will join this group.

With 60,000 newly trained troops, 5,000 Qin troops stationed in Han, and 10,000 Qin cavalry led by Ying Ying who will arrive soon, Lu Chao has no idea about the outcome of this war. His army will go straight to Wei's capital Daliang. It's too close from Xinzheng to Daliang.

When he walked into his extremely simple study, Lu Chao's heart had returned from a burning heat to calmness, and he was already calculating in his heart. To take those people with him, the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ying, who was also his father-in-law, must be taken with him, and the first-ranked direct heir of the Gongsun family must also be in the army. Those noble lords who still maintained strong power in Han must be incorporated into the army. What Lu Chao wanted was that after he led the army to leave Han, the Qin people's rule in Han would not be lost. A snake cannot survive without a head. Without these people, there would be no potential threats.

Moreover, Lu Chao knew that each of these nobles was terribly afraid of death. When he incorporated them into the army, they would definitely bring out the most elite family guards they could bring out, in order to protect their lives to the greatest extent in the war. This is really the best.

Thinking of this, Lu Chao couldn't help but laugh. When he informed his father-in-law Gongsun Ying that he must go to war with him, the first question of this big-name noble was how many guards he could bring to fight together. Lu Chao's answer to him was. The more the better. He wanted to see how many troops the Gongsun family could mobilize now.

Gongsun Ying did this, and other Han nobles would probably have the same idea. At that time, these noble family soldiers and their masters would be dispersed and incorporated into the Qin army.

Once the war started, they would be the most powerful soldiers. When the Wei Kingdom trembled and groaned under their feet, the last essence of Han would also be broken. From then on, these nobles would have no other way out except to completely rely on Qin from the inside out.

This is a strategy of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot. The essence of the Han people had been washed away after the Qin army came, and this time, Qin would completely complete its control over Han.

After conquering Wei, the Qin people will open up another battlefield against Zhao, which means the death knell of Zhao will be officially sounded. After Zhao, there is the person Lu Chao has always wanted to fight on the battlefield. Lu Chao has never given up his attention to Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan is now standing at the crossroads of fate. Either he will take over the King of Yan and officially stand opposite Lu Chao, or he will be destroyed under the attack of Zhao, Yan, and Donghu.

Lu Chao and Gao Yuan can succeed. In this way, when he defeats him personally, the pleasure from the heart will make him feel unprecedented satisfaction, which may be more satisfying than destroying Wei personally.

"General!" The door of the study was gently pushed open, and an officer walked in and stood in front of Lu Chao.

"Speak!"

"In Daliang, the Wei people who want to surrender to our Great Qin have begun to prepare, but Heibingtai in Daliang has also discovered that Wei has begun to mobilize troops and generals, and the order to recruit soldiers to serve the king has been sent to various places. After all, such a big move here can't be concealed at all."

Lu Chao sneered: "I never thought of hiding it from them. This time it's not a surprise attack. I want to crush them openly. With the mobilization ability of the Wei people, I'm afraid that when our army arrives at the city of Daliang, they will have just come out of their fiefdom not long ago, right?"

The officer nodded, "The general is right. Their mobilization ability is really not commendable. But sir, the main force of our army is the Han people. Is their combat effectiveness credible? Why don't we let the Qin army stationed in Han be the vanguard and go straight in?"

Lu Chao's eyelids turned up, staring at the other party, his eyes became sharp, and under Lu Chao's stare, the officer's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but lower his head, "I made a mistake, and I shouldn't interfere with the general's military decision."

"You are wrong!" Lu Chao said calmly: "Although you are an officer of Heibingtai, you are still a soldier. It is one of your responsibilities to question my decision-making. If you listen to both sides, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. This This is also one of the reasons why our Da Qin army is invincible. There will never be a fool like Zhao Qi in our Da Qin army.”

"The general is wise. It's just..." The officer raised his head and looked at Lu Chao with some confusion.

"I say you are wrong, not because you put forward different views on the war, but because of the name you gave to our army. Remember, there are no Koreans anymore. They are all Da Qin people, and they are all Da Qin's army. , as an officer of the Great Qin, if you are still divided between each other in your heart, then the soldiers of the Great Qin under your command will also do the same, and follow the example of the superior, which is detrimental to our combat effectiveness. We must make all the new troops understand that they are The people of Da Qin, the laws of Da Qin, treat them equally, and they can change their status and situation through military exploits. "

"Moxia understands." The officer nodded vigorously.

"Of course, what I'm talking about is just an ordinary army, and those Korean nobles, not everyone is included in this." Lu Chao said meaningfully: "In this attack, some people may not want to If we win, there may be some shameful tricks. As a senior officer of Heibingtai, you naturally know what to do."

"I understand that I have already deployed people around these people. Their words and deeds are all under our control."

"Which side is the Gongsun family?" Lu Chao picked up the ink stick and rubbed it lightly on the inkstone.

The officer was shocked, "The Gongsun family is not..."

"It's my wife's natal family, right?" Lu Chao said coldly: "Remember, the Gongsun family is still one of the most influential nobles in Han."

"My subordinates will take care of this matter immediately."

"I hope I won't remind you of things like this in the future." Lu Chao picked up his pen and said, "Go and do the work. I'm going to write a memorial to the king."

The officer was covered in cold sweat and bowed and retreated. Lu Chao had always been so amiable and he rarely got angry or spoke harshly. But in front of Lu Chao, the officer only felt that he was worse than in front of Zhongli, the supreme leader of Heibingtai. , it was even more difficult. Even though Lu Chao was gentle and gentle, when he first entered Korea, Lu Chao's brutal methods made them, the ruthless professional officers of Heibingtai, feel chilled from the inside out.

It is no joke that Lu Chao's name can stop children from crying at night in Korea. When the heads of the rebels piled up like mountains, and the families of the resisters, from old to young, were sent to hard labor one by one, Lu Chao Chao's heart of stone allowed everyone to truly see the power of this young, frail general.

"I just want to make you happy!" Lu Chao picked up the pen and wrote the first line of words on the paper. He smiled and thought in his heart: "I want to cut through the mess quickly, but I am impatient, just like Korea, one place after another. I will go and annihilate the rebels, attract you to the vicinity of Daliang, and annihilate them one by one, but this will save a lot of trouble and a lot of time!"

When Lu Chao started to write the memorial, in the backyard, he put away the embroidery frame melancholy, walked out of the room, and looked at the east.

"Mother, are you missing your hometown again?" Gongsun Yan asked softly.

"As people get older, they naturally miss their hometown. I once thought I wouldn't miss that place!" Mrs. Lu turned to look at her daughter-in-law, nodded and said, this daughter-in-law is still very satisfactory.

"Mother, I have heard you mention that Gao Yuan to your husband many times. Does this person have a deep relationship with our family?" Gongsun Yan asked.

"It's more than that!" Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly, "Do you also know this person?"

"Zhīdào, when Ye Jing'er cut her hair under Nanshan Mountain, she swore that she would marry me when my hair reaches my waist. But it spread throughout the countries and became a good story!" Gongsun Yan's eyes were filled with emotion. From the perspective of glory, her husband is good at everything, but he is a bit too old-fashioned. In his heart, maybe those boring official documents are more lovable than his gorgeous appearance. Otherwise, why would he spend most of his time in his study?

"If you think about such lofty things as Zhīdào, I can tell you about this person!" Mrs. Lu sighed, "He and our family have such indescribable grievances and hatreds!" (To be completed.) Continued…)
