"It's up to the general to decide."
Xiang Yan pondered for a while, then smiled bitterly: "Then go down along the Danjiang River, Yancheng is still in the hands of Chu State, join the army of Yancheng, return to Yingdu, and then make plans."
"The last will obey."
Eight thousand Chu troops withdrew from Wuguan, took a boat directly, went down the Danjiang River, and headed for Yancheng.
After Ye Teng led the army to occupy Wuguan again, he went out of Wuguan, joined Zhang Tang's army, and began to attack everywhere to regain some of the cities occupied by Chu State.
When Zhang He arrived at Zhiwan City in Nanyang County, Xiang Yan had already fled to Yingdu, and gathered the surrounding army, a total of more than [-] people, to guard Yingdu.
Zhang He cursed secretly in his heart, counting your old guy running fast, otherwise you might be captured alive and go back to Xianyang to eat in prison.
But now Zhang He doesn't want to compete with Xiang Yan for the capital of Ying, just take Wei Guo now.
"General Ye, you garrison Wuguan, General Zhang, you continue to garrison Yancheng, these two important places are stuck, Xiang Yan has no extra troops to attack Qin again."
"So-and-so is going to Daliang first."
Afterwards, Zhang He turned around and led his cavalry northward to Xinzheng, approaching the southern part of Daliang.
So far, the girder has been surrounded on three sides.
The Wei army totaled 30, but there were still [-] subjects in the city, all of whom were huddled in Daliang City, the capital, and all the surrounding cities were abandoned.
Several generals will meet.
Wang Ben said with a sullen face, "Wei Wangzeng has abdicated, and now he is living in Xunyang, the old capital of the Wei State. He said he would surrender, and he has already sacrificed Xunyang. I just hope that King Qin will be lenient and not slaughter the Wei family and the people in Daliang City." people."
"However, King Wei forced King Wei to usurp the throne, but he took the ministers of civil and military affairs to defend Daliang City to the death. He personally supervised the battle on the city wall, and planned to die with Daliang City. He said that it was something that King Wei could not get. .”
Then, Wang Ben bowed and said, "General, from the point of view of the last general, he directly attacked the city and slaughtered those stubborn and unable to see the general situation..."
"Even if this kind of person stays, it will still be Daqin's trouble in the end."
Zhang He asked: "But the moat around Daliang City is wide. According to the information obtained, the river is two feet deep and ten feet wide. The distance from the city wall to the moat is 500 meters."
"If we attack outside the moat, the crossbows and trebuchets will not have enough range."
"Even if it costs a lot of money to cross the moat, Daliang City has thick walls and high walls. If you want to attack the city forcefully, it will only cause unnecessary casualties."
"Because our destruction of Wei is just incidental, and the real goal is to attack Shouchun."
Li Dao said: "General, do you want the last general to beheaded? Capture another Wei Wang, and make a pair with Zhao Wangqian..."
Zhang He glanced at Li Xin, are you addicted?
"How did you enter Daliang City? The last time you entered Handan, it was an accident. Do you still want to copy it?" Zhang He asked with a frown.
Li Xin: "..."
Qiang Lu said: "Then besiege the city for a few months, if there is no food in the city, starve them to death."
Zhang He: "Do you not consider the common people? Those soldiers will definitely not starve to death, but the common people will definitely starve to death first."
Yang Duan said: "Then what should we do, the king of Wei pretends to be an idiot, if he doesn't surrender quickly, he actually..."
Wang Ben gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he said: "Then follow the example of General Bai Qi's water warfare method. General Bai Qi flooded Yingdu back then, and today we flood the beams."
The corner of Zhang He's mouth twitched. This guy still thought of fighting with water, but using water to fight really hurt the peace.
What's more, after the water war, Daliang, the most prosperous city in the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, was abolished.
Zhang He also expects that Daliang will become the largest business capital in Daqin, because the water system here is well developed, and thanks to the blessing of King Wei Hui, the most famous war weapon in history and the canal gap with fast commercial transportation have been built.
Honggou draws water from the Yellow River below Xingyang as its source, flows eastward through Zhongmou, Daliang, turns south, enters Yinghe River and connects to Huaihe River, and then connects the entire Huaihe River system extending in all directions to form the Honggou water system.
Moreover, the most gratifying thing is that this chasm water system is also regulated by Putianze, with abundant water volume and water level stabilization method, which is the most ideal canal.
Moreover, the Huaihe River passes through Hangou and connects with the Yangtze River. It can be said that this day's gap connects the Yellow River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south, connecting the north and the south.
Now you give me the whole flooded girder, then such a good canal will be ruined by you, the south of this canal is Shouchun, brother, we have to attack Shouchun, then this river is where we reach Shouchun The fastest green channel in spring.
However, just to fool Wang Ben, he first proposed this kind of water warfare strategy, but whether it is implemented or not depends on whether his plan can work.
If it really doesn't work, it will only flood the girders, but Zhang He doesn't want to take the blame.
Zhang He didn't want to take the credit for the battle to destroy Wei either.
He came from later generations, and he knew that in the history of Chinese wars, there were four water attack battles with extremely heavy casualties, namely, Baiqi flooded Yingdu, Wang Ben flooded Daliang, Guan Yu flooded Fancheng, and modern Huayuankou broke the embankment .
Every time water warfare is used, tens of thousands of people are killed. Therefore, using water warfare is a tactic of last resort, and it is also a horrific tactic.
A smile appeared on Zhang He's face, and just waiting for Wang Ben to say this, the credit for destroying Wei belongs to you, and you will also recite the infamy of later generations.
Zhang He slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Good idea, this effect is the most obvious, and it won't delay the time."
"General Wang and old general Wang Jian are indeed handed down in the same line. They are unparalleled in wisdom, flooding the beams, and can be completed without a single soldier. It is very suitable for me. It is very suitable for me. Let's do it like this!"
Then Zhang He searched for a long time and asked, "Where's Hugh?"
Xio got out from the crowd and said, "General, what are your orders?"
"Mobilize all available forces in Daliang City and vigorously publicize that the Qin army will flood Daliang City. If the people in the city don't want to be drowned, they can run to higher places or run outside the city... Daqin has promised that as long as the people from the city The people who escaped will be given two acres of land each, and those who escaped whole will be given one ox."
"Your Majesty is merciful, loves the people like sons!" All the generals bowed.
However, the more Wang Ben thought about it, the more something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
By the way, Zhang He has used the method of flooding in Feihukou a long time ago.
I didn't think of it this time, how could it be possible?
Suddenly, he thought of his father Wang Jian. In order to avoid destroying Zhao Zhigong, he withdrew when he was about to attack Handan, but in the end he returned to their Wang family after destroying Zhao Zhigong.
This time I came up with this idea, isn't it because of the achievement of destroying Wei, I am going back to the Wang family again?
My father said that the highest merit is the master, and it has been like this since ancient times.
If the royal family made too many contributions, even if King Qin would not care about it, the nobles and ministers in the court would be jealous of their royal family's achievements. General Bai Qi is a lesson from the past.
At that time, the Wang family will become the target of public criticism.
Wang Ben looked at Zhang He resentfully, and shook his head helplessly. He is so insidious at such a young age, why bother?
Chapter 239 Zhang He's Extinct Plan
Tactics have been determined.
Zhang He immediately ordered Hedong County, Sanchuan County, and the newly established Yingchuan County (Handi) and Hanoi County.
The four major counties sent all the prisoners and captives to Xingyang and Chenggao, and began to build Honggou dams, preparing to divert a large amount of water from the Yellow River into the Honggou.
Then, in the middle reaches of the chasm, south of Daliang, where the chasm turned, dams were built to intercept the water in the chasm, so that all the water in the chasm would flow into the moat of Daliang City.
However, Zhang He handed over this task to Li Xin, and secretly told Li Xin that it is only necessary to build a dam and not divert the water of the Yellow River into the chasm, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law.
Li Xin wondered, hadn't it been discussed just now, why now it is only reinforced and not diverted from the Yellow River?
How did this flood Daliang City?
However, this is not something he should worry about.
As for the task of building dams in the south, Zhang He handed over to his personal secretary Li Wei, who also only needed to strengthen the dams on both sides, and could not build blocking dams.
But at the moment, he is building dams and digging up the silt in Hanoi to make the water flow more stable. Zhang He has other uses, but he uses the water to flood Daliang City and do it well in advance, so as not to dredge the canal in the future and let Chu see doorway.
……
Daliang City has been besieged for five days.
In the palace, the monarchs and ministers of Wei State sat in the main hall, discussing countermeasures.
It's not a problem to continue like this, the food in the city will always be eaten up one day.
When the food in the city ran out, it was time for them to surrender.
However, now they want to ask for reinforcements, but no one comes to help them.
The State of Zhao was destroyed, the State of Yan withdrew its troops, the State of Qi suffered heavy casualties, and the State of Chu heard that it was too busy to take care of itself, and tried its best to defend against the Qin people going south.
King Wei's face was livid, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt behind the table, like a ghost, without saying a word.
The ministers even lowered their heads and dared not speak.
At this moment, a man in black hurriedly came to the side of King Wei, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, about 20 people have been arrested. They are all spies from the State of Qin. They incited the people in the city. The people in the city panicked and gathered at the gate of the city." , wanting to escape.”
"Kill them. At this moment, you don't think about the widows or Wei Guo, but you want to escape. Are they still Wei Guo's subjects?" Wei Wang pretended to be angry.
The man in black continued: "Most of those people are merchants, and..."
King Wei's eyes turned even redder, and he snorted, "What else, hesitating..."
"And... some nobles!"
The King of Wei got up in fake anger, overturned the case in front of him, and said angrily: "Damn it, do they still have widows in their eyes, and do they still have the country of Wei?"
"Kill it, tell General Zhang, no matter who it is, whoever is making trouble now, they will all be executed on the spot."
"Yes……"
The man in black took the order to go, and Wei Wang pretended to face the courtiers, laughing at himself: "These are the subjects of the widow, and these are the nobles of the widow. Usually, the widow gives them honor and rights, and now this is the way to repay them." A widow? Huh?"
Prime Minister Wei Zhi quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down, this is not the time to get angry..."
"Then how long will we have to wait to make the widow angry?"
Wei Zhi: "..."
Ministers: "..."
At this moment, a servant came hurriedly, knelt beside King Wei, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Leopard Rider is here, please wait outside and ask to see you, Your Majesty."
The King of Wei snorted coldly in his heart, Leopard Cavalry was the spy chief of Wei State, and he commanded all the masters of Wei State, but after he usurped the throne, he would rather follow his father, the old man, than him.
What is the purpose of coming to see yourself now?
"Let him roll in..."
The servant went out cautiously, and then a middle-aged man wearing rough clothes, no different from ordinary people, came to the hall, bowed and said: "Subject Baoqi, I have seen the king."
"What do you mean by coming?"
Leopard Knight said indifferently: "I have sent news to the King."
"The Qin army wants to flood the girders. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners have been mobilized to build dams. They want to divert the water from the Yellow River into the chasm, and then introduce the water from the chasm into the moat of the girder."
"Once the Qin army successfully draws the water, Daliang will become a swamp city, and the city wall will collapse automatically..."
Wei Wang pretended to stand up, and said coldly: "This matter, I have known about it for a long time. This is just a trick of the Qin people, just to scare the widow and then let the widow open the city and surrender."
"No, this matter is true, the people of Qin have already started construction..."
Leopard Rider took a deep breath and said: "Old King Wei said, let you make your own decisions, don't try to be strong for a while, and ruin the lives of 30 people in the city, as well as the ancestral hall of Wei's ancestors."
"If the Qin people really flooded the beams, the king of Wei will have no face to meet his ancestors."
King Wei yelled in fake anger: "The demonic words are confusing the crowd...Pull it down..."
"Throw it down from the city wall, let the Qin people see the determination of the widow."
Leopard Knight smiled and said: "My lord, the subjects came here today, and they didn't want to go back alive. They just wanted to fulfill the old King Wei's last wish."
Wei Wang pretended to point directly at the guards around him and shouted, "Throw it down from the city wall..."
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, there is no need for it. The subjects have dedicated their whole lives to the Great Wei, so naturally they will jump off the tower, and they will die in Daliang City."
The leopard cavalry was escorted like this, and came to the top of Wei Guoxi City, jumped, and jumped down, but, the leopard cavalry was so light, it landed steadily, and then left easily.
Turning around, he glanced at the soldiers with wide mouths on the tower, and said coldly: "The words have already been brought, I am an idiot, so I will be buried for you, General Zhang He has already let me hang out with him."
……
In Daliang City, martial law has been in place for five days, but rumors and rumors flew to every household as if they had grown wings. The people of Qin wanted to flood Daliang, drowning all 30 people in Daliang City.
If they managed to escape from Daliang City, King Qin promised that each person would be given two acres of land, and if the whole family managed to escape from the city, they would also be given a farming ox.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Everyone is both fearful and happy!
These rumors were passed on, and it became a relative of a certain family in Korea, and now they have been allocated a field and a cow.
There are also those refugees who fled from Wei State to Qin State. It is said that they all lived a good life. Not only was there no war in Qin State, but after planting their own fields, they could work in workshops and support their families easily.
They also heard that wealthy businessmen and rich people from all over the world moved to live in Qin State...
