Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 282 Rebuilding Daliang City

Daliang City is located in the northwest area of ​​Kaifeng City, Henan Province today.

Daliang City was the capital of the State of Wei during the Warring States Period.In the sixth year of King Huihui of Wei, the state of Wei moved the capital from Xi'an to Yiyi, and renamed it Daliang.

Although Daliang City has no natural dangers to defend, it is located near the tip of the North China Great Central Plains Delta, and has been the center of the Central Plains since ancient times.It borders Qilu in the east, Jianghuai in the south, Songyue in the west, and Yanzhao in the north. The geographical situation is very important.At the same time, due to the flat ground, there are no restrictions from famous mountains and rivers, which provides favorable conditions for the transportation of Daliang.

The terrain around the girder is open and the soil is deep, which is conducive to agricultural production.In addition, the Central Plains at that time was in a period of relatively warm and humid climate. Due to the influence of the alluvial and silting of the Yellow River, the surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng was densely covered with rivers and swamps.

There are not only natural waterways such as Jishui, Yingshui, Danshui, and Suishui nearby, but also natural lakes such as Putianze, Pengze, and Muze, forming a natural water network area and developing agricultural irrigation. The area became the richest area with the most developed agriculture in the Central Plains at that time.

After the state of Wei moved its capital to Daliang, King Wei Hui built large-scale water conservancy projects many times and painstakingly managed the water network outside Daliang City.Daliang waterways are vertical and horizontal, and shipping is developed.Wei's ships could sail into Han, Chu, Wei, Qi, Lu, Song and other countries, which promoted the trade and cultural exchanges between Wei and the countries in the basin.

Relying on the advantages of terrain and water conservancy, Daliang City has become one of the four capital cities as famous as Xianyang, Linzi, and Handan after a century of development.

After the destruction of South Korea, the intensive and non-stop campaign to unify the six countries by force began.

After destroying the two countries of Yan and Zhao successively, Qin Wangzheng set his sights on Wei, and the general he sent was Wang Ben, the son of the God of War Wang Jian.

Almost at the same time that Li Xin and Meng Tian led the 20 Qin army to attack Chu, Wang Ben also led the army to embark on the journey to destroy Wei.

Just like Li Xin swore to King Yingzheng of Qin that he could destroy the dead and pacify Chu in the First World War, Wang Ben also thought that this time he was almost a "public-funded tour" and traveled all the way to Daliang, the capital of Wei. , put the flag of Qin State on the head of Daliang City, hold a "surrender ceremony" and it's over.

However, something that he never expected happened.

I thought that Wei Guo, who was dying and lying flat now, the hors d'oeuvres, the king of Wei who had just succeeded to the throne, had been cornered and had no escape, actually fulfilled the "rabbit in a hurry and really bites" The proverb, inspired by hemorrhagic, he began to fight back, fight back, and never surrender.

Now he completely abandoned the border defense line and concentrated all his troops in Daliang, preparing to fight a city battle with the Qin army led by Wang Ben under Daliang City.

Facing Wang Ben's ultimatum, his answer was also very straightforward: it is difficult to leave the homeland, and it is difficult to abandon the ancestral temple.He has now decided not to run, and will never lay down his arms and surrender.If you, Wang Ben, want to attack the city, you can attack it.I'm just using Daliang City to bet with you now, I won the bet, thank God; if I lost the bet, I will die!
Then there is nothing to talk about, Wang Ben ordered: Siege the city!

Unexpectedly, Wei Guo's fierce will to resist was completely beyond Wang Ben's surprise: he wanted to eat a piece of tender tofu, but who knew that he broke a few front teeth in one bite.In just a few days, there were heavy casualties.

Wang Ben led a mighty army to the foot of Daliang City. In the first battle, the Qin army suffered countless casualties, and Wei Guo waited for work with ease.Wang Ben was young and energetic, scratching his head and scratching his head in anxiety, not knowing what to do.It's not a solution to spend so much time all the time, not to mention if you can't get in, Wei soldiers still stand on the towers from time to time to scold and provoke. If this continues, the glory of the Wang family will be destroyed for generations.

Wang Ben was at a loss, and his soldiers were extremely angry, and they continued to attack.After several months of attack like this, there were many casualties, but Daliang City still stood still, and Wei Guo's military flag was still flying high above the city.

After all, Wang Ben inherited his father Wang Jian's military acumen after he took over the door. After calming down, he began to read various military books until he saw the bamboo slips written by "Killing God" Bai Qi.Wang Ben couldn't hold back his excited heart and trembling hands, carefully considered the words and sentences on the bamboo slips, and slapped his thigh: "God help me."

Bai Qi said that Daliang City was built by the Yellow River and lost by the Yellow River.

Wang Ben walked around in the handsome tent, thinking about how to break Daliang City in his mind.From the historical database of the Qin Army's campaigns in the past, he flashed each case in his mind like a movie, looking for a recipe that could help him get out of trouble.

Suddenly, more than 70 years ago, "Killing God" Bai Qi led [-] Qin troops into the state of Chu and besieged the capital Yingcheng.In the end, a scene of victory flashed out by digging a hundred-mile-long canal to draw water from the Yangtze River, and flooding the city of Ying with floods.

Wang Ben was excited: Isn't there ready-made water from the Yellow River coming up from the sky outside Daliang City? Isn't that God helping me?Why haven't I thought of using this trick before?Mr. Wu An is Mr. Wu An!
Having made up his mind, Wang Ben summoned all the generals and began to assign tasks, digging ditches and rivers.

When everything is ready and an order is given, the water of the Yellow River will really come from the sky!

In the future, it will be successful, the rain will not stop for ten days, and the water will become more and more powerful.

The next day, the soldiers and civilians of Wei State had just woken up when they suddenly heard a loud noise in the west of the city.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the rumbling sound came from far to near, like the screams of evil spirits coming from the ground.

Looking from the tower of Daliang, a billowing white wave came rushing from the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it had poured in from the west of the city, and the land was covered with a vast ocean.

Before Wei Guojun and his ministers figured out what was going on, the flood had already traversed the entire girder.

Daliang had already turned into a vast water world. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Wei Kingdom were instantly dragged into the boundless hell by the rolling flood. In Daliang City, there were floating corpses of humans and animals floating everywhere.

Following Wang Ben's order, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops rushed into Daliang like a black torrent.

Daliang City has become a hell on earth, the walls are deeply soaked in water, leaving only one site, Daliang, one of the four capital cities of the Warring States Period, has completely disappeared from everyone's sight with a flood, and there is only one uninhabited The ruins of the residence bring people deep regret.

But
Li Shiqi asked to rebuild Daliang City to make up for the loss, which surprised Fan Zeng. Forced to do so, Fan Zeng persuaded Qin Wangzheng in a tactful tone, hoping that he would rebuild Daliang City.

I thought that King Qin's government would be furious, and refused with the majesty of the emperor, and reprimanded Li Shiqi to visit the Maurya Dynasty as an envoy, but the news he got was: Yes!

The next day, a royal edict was sent to the three prefectures of the original Wei, ordering the prefects of the three prefectures to recruit civilian husbands or criminals to build Daliang City.

As soon as they heard that Daliang City was being rebuilt, the people in Weidi made great appeals, and rushed to Daliang happily to start building fortifications.
