In the end, I even changed it so much that I couldn’t even believe that this book was written by myself... The style of the book is a bit different from all previous books. It’s no wonder that many old readers think that soldiers use vests for changing numbers.

But I believe this change is correct, and I will firmly go down this path.

Because this is an attempt, an innovation, and a challenge.

People can't stick to the rules, can they?

Always challenge yourself and break through yourself to have a new starting point.

The process is of course difficult and painful.

But there is no way, you need to eat and live, right?

Who is easy again?

The second thing I want to thank is the book friends who continue to support the soldiers.

When this book was first uploaded, some old readers immediately discovered it... The soldiers dared not say it, for fear of being beaten, so they opened it secretly.

It wasn't until recently that I had to finish the old book that I couldn't hold it anymore and confessed.

Then many old readers followed.

sincere gratitude!

Not much to say, it will be on the shelves at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

What soldiers can do is to ensure the quality as much as possible.

Chapter 128 Variables

Wei Wang's hypothesis still has some truth.

The Qin army is indeed good at field battles, and the Yan army defends the city with its own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.

Even King Wei had a small plan in mind:

Wei Bing only needs to defend the city.

When the reinforcements from Chu arrived, wouldn't it be better for Qin and Chu to fight outside the city?

The snipe and the clam fight each other, and the fisherman benefits. The Wei State can preserve its strength and repel the Qin army. Why not do it?

However, these are only "ideal".

First of all, King Wei's tactic of giving up all the initiative and pinning his hopes on city defense was obviously too passive.

As I said before, the reason why Daliang Jiancheng is called Jiancheng is not only Daliang City itself, but also because the water network near Daliang is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Usually it is a defense that combines internal and external reinforcements.

Wei Wang pretended to give up, in fact, he gave up Daliang's distinctive dynamic defense.

Secondly, at this time, King Wei certainly didn't know that the Qin army was going to flood the girders.

If he knew, no matter how stupid he was, he would not choose to withdraw his troops.

If the Qin army did not attack the city, what effect would the 20 troops have in the city?

Wait for the water to flood?

Again, how can the king of Wei be a fool if he pretends to be clever?Chu Guowei foolishly fought for you Wei Guo and let Wei Guo take advantage of the fisherman?

You must know that this is the Wei country, and it is the pain of the Wei country.

But Chu State really has such a "stupid".

The general of Chu State is called Xiang Yan, and he probably guessed the Qin army's intentions since the Qin army retreated from Yan State.

He said to the king of Chu:

"The withdrawal of troops back to the city under Yingzheng's victory is definitely not because King Yan is happy to send Prince Pill's head."

"He must have other plans."

"If the minister's prediction is correct, Ying Zheng will attack Wei first."

"In this way, the state of Wei will be in danger!"

The King of Chu didn't take Xiang Yan's words to heart when he was in the early days, and it passed after hearing it.

I don't want to hear that Qin's army is going south after a while... Although Chu State is located in the southeast, it has been paying attention to the war of the six countries. Every country has spies from Chu State, and they will send important information to Chu State as quickly as possible.

So before Wei's envoy arrived, Chu already knew the news.

The king of Chu praised sincerely:

"Great general, now the Qin army is really sending troops to attack Wei."

"The general thinks Wei Guo can stop the Qin army?"

Xiang Yan shook her head and replied:

"Every decline in national power is related to the king's vice."

"This king of Wei pretends to love dogs like his life. It is said that every time a dog is sold, he will allow Qisheng to tear up a living person as a memory."

"The common people and even the generals of the Wei state are not as good as dogs, how can the Wei state be protected?"

Xiang Yan analyzed this.

The hypocritical stupidity of King Wei lies in his overestimation of the status of dogs.

He didn't sell dogs for money, but to publicize his reputation for raising dogs... If such a ferocious Wei mastiff were all locked in the mastiff palace, how would outsiders know Wei Wang's ability to fake dogs?

On the contrary, if you can see your own dog outside in a majestic way after selling it, it might not be a kind of happiness!

So the king of Wei also sold dogs, and this Wei mastiff was still the first choice of princes and nobles.

It's just that King Wei's standard for selling fake dogs is very strict.

Buyers must be either rich or expensive, and they have to meet and inspect in person to ensure that the buyer can raise the mastiff well before selling.

The most unacceptable thing is that King Wei pretended to have a ceremony on the day he sold the dog, just like Xiang Yan said, let the dog tear a living person alive and let him have a full meal as a farewell.

This is not a question of how many people died, but a question of the common people and even the nobles of the state of Wei living without dignity and feeling that they are not as good as dogs.

On the other hand, in Qin State, as long as you work hard and make meritorious service, you can be promoted to a noble, and you can even be promoted to a nobleman...

The difference between this coming and going is more than a thousand miles.

So don't say that the Qin army attacked Wei, even if it didn't attack Wei, many people in Wei State secretly fled across the border to Qin.

Under such circumstances, how could Wei Guo stop the Qin army?

King Chu frowned and asked:

"How about that?"

"Qin has completely conquered the lands of Han and Zhao, and the country of Yan has been beaten too weak to fight back."

"Qi State has been cooperating with Qin Gou again."

"If this country of Wei is destroyed by Qin again..."

"Qin will be able to obtain a large area of ​​arable land rich in corn, then the next one will be my country of Chu!"

King Chu of Chu can still see clearly that the survival of Wei State is not just as simple as the death of lips and teeth for Chu State.

If the rich land of Wei State is included in the territory of Qin State, it will immediately become a grain base for Qin State to attack Chu State.

Xiang Yan thought for a while, then replied:

"Your Majesty is right, so we can only help Wei."

"For the current plan, I believe that our army should move to Chen first."

"When Wei Guo asks for help, our army will not be in a hurry."

Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan) was originally the capital of Chu State. Because it was too close to the border and worried about being attacked by the enemy, the capital was moved to Shouchun more than ten years ago.

King Chu nodded negatively and said:

"rational."

"Leave this matter to the general!"

Yang Duanhe knew nothing about it.

If Qin Jun had to deal with only Wei Jun, that might not be a problem.

But at this time there is one more Xiang Yan... That adds a lot of variables.

Yang Duanhe only learned from Wei Guo's spies why there were no Wei soldiers outside the city: Wei Wang pretended to bring troops into the city for passive defense.

This was exactly what Yang Duanhe wanted, so Yang Duanhe marched southward to the mouth of the Yellow River and Bianhe River with peace of mind.

Seeing that Shen Bing was still a little worried, Yang Duanhe explained with a smile:

"Don't worry about it, miser."

"We have found out that the king of Wei is going to take his troops back to Daliang to defend."

Shen Bing couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

In other words, voluntarily give up the water network outside the city?

This is a brain pit!

Just arrange a few rows of archers and trebuchets in these rivers and ditches, and when the Qin army crosses the river, they can kill many people with random smashing and shooting!

If you are really afraid of death, you will probably run away, right?

This layer of water nets hit the past, and when the Qin army hits Daliang City, at least tens of thousands of casualties will be incurred!

Such a good opportunity just let go?

Seeing the incredible expression on Shen Bing's face, Yang Duanhe laughed "haha":

"As I said just now, not everyone has the talent of a coward."

"Wei Guo is in trouble this time!"

Shen Bing was a little embarrassed by the praise, and hurriedly humbled himself.

After a pause, Yang Duanhe said:

"Follow me, miser. I'm about to introduce someone to you."

After talking to Li Yan, he led Shen Bing to the river.

Passing through the camp, I saw a group of people not far away observing something on the bank of the Yellow River, and one of them was leaning on a strange cane, frowning in thought.

After approaching, Shen Bing realized that the crutch was actually an iron ruler with engraved scales, which seemed to be used to detect the depth of water.

Yang Duanhe stepped forward and bowed his hands to the old man, and then introduced to Shen Bing:

"This is Zheng Guo, the water engineer. The general invited the water to attack the beam!"

Shen Bing didn't react at first, but his eyes widened when he thought about it.

Waterworker Zheng Guo?

Could it be the one who repaired the Zhengguo Canal? !

Chapter 129 Zheng Guo

The name is Zheng Guo and he is a hydraulic engineer, and Wang Jian transferred to flood the girders. Who else could he be if he wasn't the one who built the Zheng Guo Canal?

When Zheng Guo heard Shen Bing's name, his eyes widened like Shen Bing's:

"Could it be that the miser... is the Shen soldier who made the waterwheel and overturned it?"

Yang Duanhe replied with a smile:

"Who else could he be?"

"Using a stingy man to help the water workers will not humiliate the water workers!"

Zheng Guo hurriedly cupped his hands and said:
