Hu Hai

Meng Yi bowed his hands to Zheng Guo, and immediately set off to rush back to Xianyang Palace.

Yingzheng has been sitting in the big study discussing state affairs with his close ministers all the time, usually with Hu Hai by his side, he would be more or less distracted to take care of his young son, now even the last scruples are gone, Yingzheng has completely recovered his inspirational and calm appearance, and his whole body is full of The majesty of being a king can no longer see the kindness of being a father.

Hearing footsteps, he said without raising his head, "How did Zheng Guo answer?"

The Meng family has served the Qin State for several generations, and they are most loyal to Yingzheng. Because of his age, Yingzheng is not only a monarch who needs to be loyal to him, but also a reliable man who always guides him like a father and brother. When Yingzheng was in power, it was all reverence from the heart.

He took out the bamboo slip from Zheng Guo from his sleeve, placed it respectfully on the big case, sat in front of Ying Zheng and said: "Zheng Guo said that as long as the king opens this scroll, he will understand everything."

Ying Zheng nodded and unfolded the letter. His eyes swept the content engraved with Qin seal characters from beginning to end into his heart, and the expression on his face finally relaxed.

He slapped the table suddenly, and said in surprise: "I knew that Wang Ben must be capable, but he was thought to have such an exquisite design! No wonder he wants to invite Zheng Guo to Daliang City, well, send more people to take care of him, and don't let the old man be here. The road bumps and hurts."

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi looked at each other, and they both understood Wang Ben's real plan.

The gulf surrounding Daliang City, the capital of the State of Wei, started from Guangwu on the south bank of the Dahe River in the north, passed through important military towns such as Aocang, and then flowed southeast through Daliang City. The Xiangcheng of the Chu State, which is below, finally merges into Yingshui—as long as Wang Ben digs the big river, then according to the terrain, the water of the big river will inevitably rush into the chasm, and then dig the chasm, and these rivers will be completely destroyed. It was completely poured into Daliang City.

The only problem is that this war of annihilation is not to kill the people of other countries, but to turn them into the citizens of Qin, lest the water will be too strong and cause more casualties than expected!

But Wang Ben—a young general like Wang Ben, who had never even led a big battle alone—had even considered how to save the lives of the people in Daliang City to the maximum extent when he asked Zheng Guo to help him.

The use of new generals really brought more surprises to Qin!

There was a little joy on Ying Zheng's face, and he spoke quickly: "Mr. Wu'an flooded Yancheng in the past, and Wang Ben is going to flood the beams today. It is worthy of being 'Xiaobaiqi'! I feel relieved!"

Wang Wan is the most cautious. Even though he knew that the method Wang Ben came up with was indeed the fastest and the method with the least casualties of the Qin army, Wang Wan still couldn't help frowning when he understood the meaning of "flooding the beams".

He interrupted Yingzheng's joy, furrowed his brows, and said dissatisfiedly: "Water attack is like fire attack, so we can win in one battle, but the harm in it is beyond the control of manpower. When Wu Anjun fought, the flood rushed The city of Yan was destroyed, the houses collapsed, and the people were not spared. There were hundreds of thousands of dead, and the smell of corpses filled the city. After that, even the river passing by was full of stench. How could the king allow Wang Ben to use it easily to bring about such a tragedy? The resulting tactics? If this strategy is put into action, even if the people in Daliang City survive, they will definitely hate Qin to the bone in this life, and they will never submit to them. Wanwang King think twice!"

Although Li Si is the provider of Qin's strategy to unify the world, he is not a butcher, and he couldn't help frowning frequently when he heard this opportunity.

Now Wang Wan was the first to speak out against Wang Ben's plan, and Li Si immediately stopped him: "My lord, Daliang City has been built for a hundred years, even if it can't be said to be the richest country in the world, it is definitely a rich capital, and the king of Wei even ordered to hoard it a few days ago. The grain, grass, and property of the entire Wei State are gathered in Daliang City. After the flood, even if the people in the city are safe, do we still need us to feed them with goods? The people in Handan County have already consumed a lot of grain this year. Your Majesty, Wang Jian The battle between the general and the state of Chu has not yet begun, and the country cannot bear such consumption."

Before Yingzheng was happy to destroy Wei, but he didn't think about it so deeply. He also pursed his lips when he heard Li Si's analysis.

When Li Si saw that Yingzheng hesitated, he immediately added a more favorable reason: "Your Majesty, there were too many deaths and injuries after Lord Wu'an flooded Yancheng, and the people of Chu were very worthy of Qin because of this, and they joined without hesitation afterwards." The Lian Heng camp resisted Qin, which added many difficulties for the king to unify the world. If the beams are really flooded now, will the people of the Wei State ignore the past? Although there are millions of troops, the king cannot ignore the hearts of the people."

Ying Zheng nodded, but did not directly respond to Li Si and Wang Wan's persuasion, but bent his knuckles and knocked on the big case, making a deep sound of "dong, dong".

The cities of the Six Kingdoms today will be the cities of the Great Qin in the future; the people of the Six Kingdoms today will be the people of the Great Qin in the future; the property of the Six Kingdoms today will be the property of the Great Qin in the future. , who would dare to surrender to Da Qin in the future?Wang Ben's tactics were so resolute that they were almost brutal, no less fierce than the 40 prisoners of Zhao who were killed in the Changping Battle of Lord Wu'an.

Ying Zheng's face was slightly gloomy, but when he looked at the resolute faces of Meng Yi and Meng Tian, ​​he suddenly narrowed his sharp eyes. He suddenly realized that he had been caught in a strange circle by Li Si and Wang Wan's words, and he forgot the most important thing. What happened - no matter what happened, Qin Jun had to conquer Daliang City first!

If Wang Ben kept encircling Daliang City, or attacked the city by himself, the result would be nothing more than a waste of food and grass, and even cause countless casualties to the army because of the siege. Furthermore, if he could not attack Wei, then he would be closely connected with it. The Chu State will form an ally with it, facing each other from left to right, making Qin State's plan to destroy Chu a hundred times more difficult, and may even cut off the supply line of Qin State's food, grass and supplies, and make Qin State's plan to unify the world fall short.

Xin Ti quietly walked to Ying Zheng's side, holding a letter sealed in clay, and said softly, "Your Majesty, this is from the frontier with General Meng Tian's battle report from the eldest son."

The cold expression on Yingzheng's face softened a little, and turned into a look of anxiety and anticipation. He directly reached out to take the letter from Xinti, smashed the seal, took out the brocade, and carefully Swallowing what was written on it, he couldn't help frowning, his eyes showing dissatisfaction.

He only heard whispering to himself: "I didn't say a word about my current health. I only care about state affairs. I really don't know what to say about him."

After finishing speaking, the temporary gentle expression on Ying Zheng's face disappeared without a trace, and when he raised his face, he returned to the expression of a cold-blooded emperor, clutching the brocade in his hand, and said with a final word: "Fusu also thinks that the method of water attack is good. , let Wang Ben do as he pleases."

Seeing this, Li Si wanted to refute, but Ying Zheng waved his hand, stopping him from speaking, and said bluntly: "Attacking the country and loving its people, attacking is possible. My mind has been decided."

Li Si sighed. Although he could not agree with the cruel tactics, he did not refute Yingzheng's decision again. He directly talked about the restoration work after the war: "My lord, after the flooding of Daliang City, there will be epidemic diseases in Daliang. Please start now." Start preparing the medicine."

"How to handle this matter will be left to Ting Wei and Guo Wei's House to negotiate." Ying Zheng directly assigned the work to Li Si, asking him to do more work for those who are able.

The courtiers in Xianyang Palace moved frequently today, and all of them were excited by the exciting battle to destroy Wei. Fusu, who was at Yanmen Pass, was also wearing a battle armor. He practiced with the soldiers of the Qin Army. It has long been tempered by the wind and sand in the frontier into a fierce brown color, and the plump and powerful muscles are shining with an oily luster under the scorching sun.

Meng Tian waved his long sword, distractedly chatted with Fu Su, and said, "The battle to destroy Wei has not progressed. Based on what I know about Wang Ben, it's time for him to figure out a way. Fu Su, you sent a letter to Xianyang Palace to What can I do?"

Fusu smiled heartily, stopped the same action as the soldiers before, and directly swung his sword towards Meng Tian. The two immediately fought, sparks splashed when the four-foot green peaks intersected, and replied at the same time: "That's not the case. I spent some time in the army with General Wang Ben, and I guessed that he should have a plan, but I just expressed my approval of General Wang Ben in the letter. The main purpose of this letter is to convey Father asked about Hu Hai's situation - he is a bit naughty, and I don't know if he is studying seriously now."

Meng Tian took advantage of Fusu's opening and when he was short of breath, he suddenly turned around and turned half a circle, bent down and attacked the lower body, but Fusu seemed to have guessed Meng Tian's movements, before he swept his legs across him, he had already He jumped up, flew towards Meng Tian and stabbed again with his sword.

With a sound of "Ding!", the tip of Fusu's sword just landed on Mengtian's breastplate, making a slight sound. The guards who were practicing had already stopped their movements when Fusu and Mengtian were competing, and surrounded them to watch , now that Fusu won, bursts of applause erupted immediately.

Fusu hooked his lips into a smile, sheathed his long sword, and stood in the wind and sand with his head held high. His tall and strong appearance was already that of a young man.

He bowed his hands to Meng Tian, ​​said with a smile: "Accept."

Meng Tian waved his hand indifferently, and said heartily: "I didn't hold back, the eldest son's swordsmanship has improved again."

While talking, Meng Tian punched Fusu's shoulder, and said bluntly: "It's strange to say, when the eldest son was not strong enough, I also felt that the eldest son was very familiar with my every move, so Meng Tian hit it off right away. Feeling. Now that the eldest son is strong and powerful, Meng Tian is no longer your opponent."

Fu Su looked at Meng Tian and thought: Naturally, I followed the general for ten years in my last life, and I was taught every move by you. Of course, I am very familiar with your sword moves.

But Fusu just smiled, he directly raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and said in a flat tone: "The general will compete with Fusu every day to help me get rid of those flashy tricks taught in the palace. Then I figured out how the general entered the palace."

Meng Tian nodded: "That's true."

He stopped suddenly, leaned close to Fusu, and said in a low voice, "By the way, I heard that the eldest son is going to go deep into the grassland this year? There is a caravan here that the eldest son has cooperated with for many years, and the eldest son can mix in it."

Fusu thought for a while, and finally shook his head and rejected Meng Tian's kindness: "The Xiongnu Shanyu once had a relationship with me, he will recognize me, and then he will cause trouble for the caravan for nothing. Huren can't kill people. Blink, there's no need for them to sacrifice their lives for me."

Hearing this, Meng Tian frowned, looked at Fusu with disapproval, and said, "Since this is the case, why does the eldest son insist on going his own way, and he has to go to see Xiongnu Shanyu before giving up?"

Fusu smiled, and said flatly: "I have my own reasons, and the general doesn't need to worry about me. I want to use my own name to meet the Xiongnu Shanyu, and he won't take my life."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Young Master, you can't do this! If you don't handle one of them well, you will be reviled by thousands of people, saying that you are traitorous and traitorous."

Fusu's eyes shone with confidence, and he did not change his mind because of Meng Tian's persuasion. His eyes faded away from gentleness and only cold calculations remained, and he said in a deep voice: "The war between the Donghu and the Xiongnu is about to start, and what I want is that they both lose. ——Zhao Qian, he should be arrested too!"
