Zhao Kuo's father Zhao Hao made decisions

decision-making

Qin attacked Zhao and besieged Fuhe (roughly in present-day Heshun, Shanxi). King Zhao asked lian po and Le Cheng for advice, and the opinion of these two people was: "The road is far away and the terrain is dangerous, and it is difficult to save." ”

Asking Zhao Hao's opinion again, Zhao Hao said, "The road is far and narrow, just like two rats fighting in a nest, only the brave can win." ”

King Zhao then ordered Zhao To lead an army to the rescue.

Zhao Hao left Handan, stopped marching only thirty miles out of the city, and ordered: "Those who dare to make military suggestions will be beheaded!" ”。

The Qin army was stationed west of Wu'an City (now part of Handan City), and the soldiers shouted loudly, tapped their weapons, and even shook the roof tiles in Wu'an City. One of the people in the Zhao army suggested that Wu'an must be rescued immediately, and Zhao Hao immediately beheaded him. In this way, the wall has been strong for less than 28 days, and the fortress has been repaired even more. The spies of the Qin Army mixed with the Zhao Army, and Zhao Hao instead ate and drank well and put them back. The spy went back to report, and Qin General Daxi said, "Thirty miles away from the capital, but do not advance, strengthen the military fortress, Fu He is no longer the State of Zhao!" ”。

After Zhao Hao let the spies go, he marched in a hurry, arrived in two days and one night, stationed fifty miles away from Fu and built a good army. After the Qin army heard about it, it mobilized all its troops to rush to the scene. Zhao Junshi Xu Li asked for advice, and Zhao Hao agreed. Xu Li said, "The Qin people didn't expect us to arrive here, they are very imposing, you must concentrate your forces to prepare; otherwise, you will be defeated." ”

Zhao Hao said, "Please continue!" ”

Xu Li asked for his punishment, and Zhao Hao said, "Xu, hou ling Handan." ”

Xu Li said, "The victory that occupies the North Mountain first, and the defeat that comes later." ”

Zhao Hao agreed, and immediately sent tens of thousands of people to march. After the Qin division, the mountain could not be up; Zhao Hao's column attacked the Qin division, and the Qin division was greatly defeated, so it had to abandon Fu He. King Zhao of Zhao made Zhao Shu a mafujun, the same rank as Lian Po and Lin Xiang, and Xu Li was made a lieutenant.

King Zhao is a man with clear rewards and punishments.

Why did you stop advancing 30 miles out of town? Why did you stay for 28 days?

Heshun to Handan is not far, about 320 miles or so. It is estimated that Zhao Hao deliberately showed weakness in doing so. Moreover, at that time, the Qin army arrived in Wu'an, and there was also an intention to contain the Zhao army. Wu'an is now part of Handan, about 80 miles or so. All of this is to create illusions. But there is a premise here that Fu and can keep to live. Otherwise, everything is meaningless.

Why not get people to make suggestions?

Presumably, it is also to confuse the enemy.

Why did Zhao Hao not immediately occupy Beishan when he arrived at Fuhe, but instead took action after Xu Li made suggestions. This is about being good at using people.
