Chapter 135: Asking for advice with an humility and telling it frankly
The 45,000 Wei army actually did not have many real casualties. In this era, the war had not reached the point where it had to be wiped out. This was an era when reform and conservatism were mixed, and the gentlemanly style of the ancients was still retained.
If you win, you will be admitted, if you lose, you will admit that you will be gambling and accept the loss.
As for the slaughter of Bai Qi, it only represents his personal behavior.
"Forty-five thousand, ten thousand casualties. In the face of such a strong military force, I thank Zhou Boren." Yin Qi, who had finished bandaging, sat opposite the table and sincerely saluted Zhao Xing. According to the rules, calling a person with too many part-time jobs can come the most. Otherwise, he would be resentful.
Zhao Xing smiled and asked humbly: "I don't know what the old general has to say about the battle I command. I'll ask humbly for advice here."
The young general who was sitting beside him humbly held a pot of tea with both hands.
Captured and not abused is a manifestation of Ren and a gentleman's demeanor. Yin Qi failed, and he admitted his failure. He was a noble, so he was treated by a noble, such as returning his war horse, sword, armor, and his big banner.
Then he bandaged him and asked him to sit on the table opposite, but sat on the table to talk, which made Yin Qi feel very uncomfortable because the stool had not been promoted yet. Zhao Xing believed that this was his personal hobby, and there was no need to spend that effort to promote it, and he did not want to be a furniture dealer.
Yin Qi took a sip of tea, then pointed at the young general and asked: "This general--"
The young general responded respectfully: "Public clan, She, Zhao She."
Yin Qi nodded, and then said calmly: "The action is deceitful and has a deep understanding of Guiguzi's military strategy, but it is not similar, but it is actually a similar thing. I don't know who the mastermind is this time."
Zhao Xing was humble: "I'm down."
In this era, there were many military tactics, such as Sun Tzu, Pang Juan, Wu Qi, and Sima Dharma, which were written by Sima Rangju of Qi State. There are also "Wei Liaozi" and six strategies, which are Lu Wang, and Jiang Ziya's Taigong Military tactics.
But not only Jiang Ziya said that the rest were almost all derived from Guiguzi's Art of War. Yin Qi's ability to evaluate Zhao Xing in this way is considered a supreme praise.
"I am so stupid and scheming." Yin Qidian arrived.
Zhao Xing was proud.
Then Yin Qi continued to ask: "Who is the commander."
The young player is modest: "The last general."
"First-for-bearing, a rookie, everything is ready, good stuff, messed up."
Zhao She was embarrassed.
Yin Qi suddenly asked again: "Who is the staff officer?"
The two of them were stunned. At this time, Xu Jie, who was holding the list of results, happened to come in and said proudly: "I'm down."
Yin Qi snorted contemptuously: "My mind is dark and his character is not good."
Xu Jie put the account book in front of him, proud and proud, not ashamed.
Zhao Xing asked in surprise: "How did the old general see that the planner, staff officer, and commander of this war are not alone?"
Yin Qi said proudly: "I used the strange soldiers of the county to run thousands of miles and seize Anyang, forcing me to rescue me; I could not cross halfway and fight with the already prepared husband; and then took advantage of the fatigue of my husband's teacher and soldiers to intercept and kill halfway through the hot weather. Such a big strategy cannot be formulated by those who have big hills and valleys."
"Of course, although commanding the battle, although he is very concise, he still attacks and does not judge the situation. If a veteran, he sees our army tired and hungry from afar, and all of them are buried in the river to drink water. In fact, as long as he surrounds quickly and kills a wave of shocking the enemy's heart, he can easily end the battle. Why kill tens of thousands of lives? You lose a thousand soldiers."
Zhao She said ashamed: "The real loss is 800."
Yin Qi was stunned and just sighed.
Xu Jie stretched out his head and asked eagerly: "How did the old general know my staff?"
"The Yin people deceive the city, and the gentleman does not do it. He does not attack halfway. Instead, he uses the hot weather to lure me here and kill me. His mind is vicious."
Xu Jie smiled embarrassedly, but glanced at Zhao Xing with his eyes. The meaning was very obvious: "This plan is our masterpiece, a villain, a vicious evaluation, you can't escape, I'm taking the blame for you."
Zhao Xing picked up the account book in front of him and said carelessly: "This time the war has made a great contribution, and it has basically achieved my goal. Mr. Xu Jie made great contributions and was awarded a third-level title."
Xu Jie never complained again at that time. He was short-speaking and soft-working, and it was worth it.
As a result, Yin Qi muttered without hesitation: "It's such a villain to take the handle of others and threaten them for personal gain."
The three of them giggled in embarrassment.
Yin Qi changed the topic and asked: "There is a war here, so Zhou Boke returns to his army to defend Anyang?"
Zhao Xing was surprised: "What am I doing to guard Anyang?"
Yin Qi was even more surprised: "Have you never thought about sticking to Anyang and letting the Wei and Qin coalition forces be like a ray of light?"
Zhao Xing seemed to suddenly realize it, and then praised: "The veteran general is indeed a good strategy."
Yin Qi refused to comment.
Then Zhao Xing smiled: "Attacking Anyang is to let the old general return to the army and run away. Then find your loophole in the movement and annihilate it. In fact, Anyang is just a bait to mobilize yours. I have no intention of fighting and leading him at all. It is lonely abroad. It is meaningless for me to occupy him, and I will not do anything meaningless."
Yin Qi thought about it and finally admired: "You are the second person to implement this strategy after surrounding Wei and saving Zhao."
Zhao Xing nodded: "My goal has been achieved, and you have become my guest of honor, so I am ready to leave."
"Give up decisively, avoid being trapped by Zhang Yi, be able to take it and let it go, be decisive."
"If you don't mention Zhang Yi, I'll forget it. I'll tell you today, Zhang Yi, a native of Qin. If your monarch really trusts Zhang Yi so much, Wei will be destroyed."
Yin Qi admired Zhang Yi very much and defended him at that time: "Originally, Zhang Yi had always been interested in Wei and planned for Wei. Today's return is just for you, Zhao. No, or more precisely, it is not good for you, Zhao Yong. You are a disagreement."
Zhao Xing sighed: "Zhang Yi, it's true that he is a capable man. With just a mouth, he can fool the Wei Kingdom. I'm not as good as that. Unfortunately, the only one who is still sober is a Gong Zhongqiu, but his reputation is bad because of greed. Who would believe in a person who is greedy by nature? It's a pity, it's a pity."
Yin Qi sneered coldly.
Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "Please wait and see. When Wei and Qin are in danger, you will know your intentions by looking at what decision Zhang Yi makes. But you think Zhang Yi is so talented, haha, let me tell you how a great talent in the world who can only talk to me is like a monkey. I will exhaust him from vomiting blood."
"I'll wait and see."
Then he asked Xu Jie: "Have you sold more than 30,000 prisoners to slave traders?"
Xu Jie smiled and said, "As long as we escort the slaves into Zhao State, we will have money and goods."
Yin Qi stood up sadly and bowed: "Please treat my soldiers well."
"Don't worry, the veteran general. When I arrived in my county, my government order was to reclaim 60 acres of land and release it to the common people three years later, letting it go." But after thinking for a while, he ordered Xu Jie: "Go and notify the surrendered soldiers of the Wei Kingdom. I will stay and then fulfill my promise to the veteran general."
Yin Qi was so relieved that he stopped talking.
Zhao Xing picked up his helmet and put it on his head: "Please watch me beat Zhang Yi." Then he ordered loudly: "Let's go, our light cavalry will raid Daliang and exhaust Zhang Yi's grandson."
