Hu Hai

Although Wang Ben had heard the news that the king had allowed Zheng Guo to come, but seeing him appear so soon, Wang Ben's face was full of surprises, and he quickly stepped forward to support Zheng Guo's emaciated body. Half-supporting him into the military tent, he turned his head and ordered Zheng Guo's request.

Zheng Guo patted Wang Ben's shoulder with a smile, and said loudly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the major general can now be alone."

A slight embarrassment flashed across Wang Ben's dark face, and then he waved his hand and laughed loudly: "I'll be satisfied if I don't embarrass my father, lest my father always say that I have made mistakes and made mistakes!"

Wang Ben didn't talk nonsense when facing Zheng Guo. After a few pleasantries, he immediately pulled him to sit down in front of the sand table, explained his plan clearly, and then pointed to Daliang City and said, "Old Ling, if you can come, I will Rest assured. If you hadn't presided over the construction of the Zhengguo Canal back then, so that Guanzhong would never suffer from water shortage under the endless irrigation of the river, my hometown would not have become as rich as it is now. Your Majesty hopes that the Six Kingdoms will be wiped out. But I never said that I would kill all the common people of the six countries. I also know that my choice of flooding the girders will definitely cause a lot of discussion in the court and embarrass the king, but apart from sending an army several times the size of Wei, the only way Let the city of Wei be destroyed quickly, so as not to bring other hidden dangers to the general's destruction of Chu."

Zheng Guo nodded, and said clearly: "Although flooding the beams is a cruel method, as long as I let the old man investigate and understand the terrain and soil near the beam city, and make a good plan, the casualties of this battle will be minimized. Your Majesty It is because I understand this that I agree to the old man’s coming, the Major General need not worry about this.”

Zheng Guo blinked his eyes mysteriously while talking, and whispered the news to Wang Ben: "The general heard about the plan set up by the young general, and sent someone to Xianyang to speak to the king to express his support for the plan of the young general."

Wang Ben scratched his head immediately and started giggling, then cleared his throat and pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you, Lao Ling, for telling me."

With the help of Zheng Guo, Wang Ben quickly sent someone to accompany him to explore the geology of the waterway, and within ten days he had already figured out all the waterways outside Daliang City. Then, unexpectedly, a group of crossbowmen were sent to write the news of the flooded girders on white cloth and shoot them into girder city, which aroused people's enthusiasm.

Looking at the soldiers of the Qin army who were constantly digging the river, Zheng Guo stroked his beard and said to Wang Ben: "In three days, the river will be dug through. As long as the gates are opened and the water is released, soak the foundation of the city wall of Daliang City." In the last ten days, Daliang City was about to collapse. Major General spread the news to the people of Wei now, isn’t it afraid that the King of Wei will send troops to charge towards the Major General if he pretends not to do anything?”

Wang Ben smiled, his eyes were straightforward and honest, and he said calmly: "If the Wei army comes, let them see the skills of the Daqin soldiers. , the people...they are all innocent."

Wang Ben, who has grown up rapidly after being alone, has been worn out of his recklessness, and has become more stable and reliable. He also considers the people, and no longer only considers the outcome of the victory or defeat.

Zheng Guo nodded and said gratifiedly: "The major general will notify the people's homes in advance of the news that the flood is coming. Even if they can't escape, they can reduce many casualties by making more preparations. Haha, if the people of Wei can bring With the goods escaping from Daliang City, it would be better if we simply put them in the towns that have been assessed behind the army. It will get better and better.”

After Zheng Guo finished speaking, he laughed himself, waved his hands and walked back: "The young general can handle it by himself. I am getting more and more verbose as I get older."

Wang Ben's heart was awed, and he realized that this was Zheng Guo's kind reminder to him-after all, he was a general for the first time, and although he had a lot of military achievements, he couldn't compare with his powerful father. Therefore, there might be some soldiers under him. It was a fluke, and I wanted to hang oil and water on the people.

Although these things are not big, they are very common, and the damage to the reputation of the leading general is extremely severe. He can't make mistakes in big things, but stumbles on small problems and makes his father follow him to shame!

Wang Ben immediately called the necessary guards around him, quietly ordered the matter, and sent them to check to see if anyone in the army had done something they shouldn't have done.

King Wei didn't take the news of "flooding the girders" seriously at first. The city of Daliang is as solid as gold, and even the foundations are well built. With absolute confidence, this matter is just a trick of the Qin army to frighten the ignorant people.

But the thing is not that Wei Wang pretends that he doesn't take it seriously, and other people don't take it seriously.

Of the six kingdoms in Shandong, Qin has wiped out half of them. Among the remaining Wei, Chu, and Qi, Qi has already bowed to Qin and obeyed all orders. It can be said that if Qin dislikes Wei It is only a trivial matter to transfer the army ready to attack Chu State to assist Wang Ben in destroying Daliang in minutes. The general of the Qin army, Wang Ben, said that Daliang City would be flooded in a few days. Which people would dare to take it lightly?

Of course you should cherish your own life!

Although many citizens of Wei State who received the news had doubts in their hearts, more people were afraid of the disaster general, picked up the belongings at home, packed up their belongings and fled frantically, and within a few days, the soldiers guarding the city had to report the serious news. Submit it.

The news snowballed in an instant, and no official dared to take it lightly. They reported one layer after another, and within a day it was submitted to King Wei's fake table. After reading the news, he was furious and almost vomited. A mouthful of blood came.

"From now on, the gate will be sealed, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave! What use are these untouchables who defected to the enemy and treason to the country?! The face of their ancestors has been embarrassing!" Wei Wang roared in fake anger, and quickly cut off the escape of the people. However, more people complained about him.

The atmosphere in Daliang City immediately became more tense, and the previous leisure and leisure completely disappeared. Because of Wei Wang's false order to close the city gate, the people became more convinced of the news that the flood was coming. They went to wander around a few times, and fled out of the city as soon as the city gate opened, but as the date approached, they were disappointed again and again.

Finally, after a roar of drinking water, the Wei soldiers standing on the city wall shouted loudly: "My God, water!! The water is coming!!!"

The monstrous flood rolled down to Daliang City in an instant, and a loud bang like thunder and drums rang around Daliang City in an instant. The blood on the faces of the people in the city disappeared completely, and they ran away in the city screaming in panic.

But where can they escape?The city gate has long been closed!

The torrent crashed against the solid wall of Daliang City, and with a sound of "Wow!!", countless splashes were splashed, hitting the faces of the soldiers on the city wall hard, and drenching them into drowned chickens.

There has been no war in Wei for many years, and the soldiers guarding the city have lost their blood. When they were splashed by the flood, some of them were worse than the calm people. They screamed and collapsed to the ground, unable to hold the weapons in their hands.

But everything gradually stopped, and the roaring waters had become gentle. They surrounded Daliang City, and one could see the broken branches of trees in the field outside the city and the thatched roofs scattered with savages floating ups and downs.

The Wei soldiers swallowed with a pale face, and the smiles of the rest of their lives appeared on their faces. They rushed down the tower, excited and almost crazy, and shouted: "Daliang City has stood up! We have no The city collapsed!! We all survived!!”

The common people also put away their panicked expressions, looked at each other, hugged and cried, and celebrated their survival. Immediately, they gritted their teeth and cursed at the Qin army who spread Daliang City and would be flooded.

Zheng Guo sat on the cloud cart with Wang Ben and watched the torrential flood invade the foundation of Daliang City. He shook his head and sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's such a pity."

Wang Ben glanced at Zheng Guo, and said in a low voice: "Is it a pity that what Lao Ling said is that Daliang City is about to collapse? I also think it is a pity."

Zheng Guo nodded first, then shook his head and sighed: "It's not all because of this reason. There are more talented people in the world than Wei Guo. Although Wei Guo has long been unable to keep these talents, there is still one person in the city who is worthy of the king to keep him. .”

Wang Ben's eyes lit up in an instant. It is well known in the world that Qin Wang cherishes talents and loves wealth. He prefers the sages in the city to be recommended to the court than to praise the conquered national treasury to the king.

Wang Ben immediately asked: "Who is Lao Ling talking about?"

Zheng Guo narrowed his presbyopic eyes, raised his hand and pointed at Daliang City, and said slowly: "This man is also a water engineer, named Shi Lu."

Wang Ben immediately laughed, and immediately said: "That's kind, I will find him when I enter the city and escort him to Xianyang City."

There was no suspense in the battle of Wei State. Wang Jian, who led the army stationed in the hinterland of Chu State, tapped on the table lightly, and suddenly said to Li Xin beside him, "Send the order to start the war."

Although Li Xin regretted that the position of general he was about to lose at the beginning, he admired Wang Jian very much. When he heard Wang Jian's order, he hurriedly asked, "Wang Ben, has he already destroyed the state of Wei at this time?"

Wang Jian frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't inquire about things that have nothing to do with us, the time has come to destroy Chu, don't worry about Wang Ben, just send troops to Shouchun!"

Li Xin muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and in the end he was obedient and quickly conveyed the general's order. When they expanded their territory, Fusu had already achieved Luan Teton's Xiongnu alone in the big tent, and had a drink with him .

Luan Titon was about the same age as Yingzheng, and he was also a handsome and handsome man. Wearing a fur and silk robe inlaid with jewels, he looked very majestic, but Fusu sat opposite him, with a flat smile on his mouth. But it made this man who led the rapid rise of the Huns feel that he had no idea.

"Master Qin came here this time for Hu Ji's son?" Luan Titon had already driven the waiters out of the big tent, and asked what he thought was the most valuable question as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Fusu didn't intend to discuss Hu Hai's problem with him at all, and said directly: "If I know part of Donghu's army deployment plan, would Shanyu be interested in cooperating?"
