Chapter 243: Go to the Great Liang
After the spring plowing ended, the Qin army's shortage of human resources was temporarily improved.
Among the Qin army, two generals who were recognized as good at commanding cavalry units rushed to different battlefields respectively.
Li Xin, who had just been promoted to the right, led his troops again to Nanjun on the Qin-Chu border. Li Xin brought not many troops, had more than enough defense, but insufficient offensive power.
Feeling the aggressive situation of the Qin army, King Fu Chu could no longer remain indifferent. After the demise of the Three Jins, the Qin army had no worries and would inevitably launch a large-scale military force against the Chu State.
After weighing the pros and cons, Fu Chu decided to send troops to take the initiative to attack the Nanjun of Qin and disperse the Qin army's forces.
Only when the Wei Kingdom supports it longer, the more Qin army can be consumed.
"What the hell is General Wang Ben causing trouble? As a dignified Zuo Geng, the general wants to escort this Korean to Daliang?!"
Outside Hangu Pass, on the official road leading to the Central Plains, a team of Qin soldiers were escorting a sturdy copper carriage and walking slowly. Several knights among them were riding tall horses, full of energy. Meng Leopard drove the mount under his crotch, followed Meng Tian tightly, complaining.
"The victory of military strategists cannot be passed on first. The young master will use troops, so how can you easily see it?"
The Wang family and the Meng family have led their troops for many years and have made many contributions. In private, the soldiers and horses on both sides have a taste of competing with each other. Meng Tian and Meng Hu and others who often join the army have nothing to say about Wang Jian, but they are very dissatisfied with Wang Ben.
Meng Tian ignored Meng Bao's rudeness, but turned around and looked at the copper carriage in the middle of the marching team, two strong war horses, and drove them to the ground, steadily. The small windows on both sides of the car wall were covered by curtains, so they could not see the expressions of the passengers inside.
The people in the car should be very important.
Many soldiers thought this way, but they didn't know who was inside.
"Wang Ben wrote a letter to Ying Zheng, indicating that Zheng State would go to Daliang. Could it be that Wang Ben really wants to attack Daliang?"
After receiving the order to escort Zheng to Wei, Meng Tian was shocked and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Who is Zheng State?
King Han sent Zheng State to Qin to persuade the King of Qin to build a water conservancy project in Guanzhong, hoping to exhaust Qin's manpower and material resources and delay Qin's use of troops to the outside world. After Ying Zheng abolished the order to expel guests, he did not pursue the crime of espionage in Zheng State, but appointed Zheng State as the Dushuicheng and continued to complete the Zheng State canal project.
Speaking of which, Meng Tian also has the credit for this. When Meng Tian interrogated Zheng State, he specially inspected the project designed and started construction in Zheng State. Zheng State adhered to the conscience of a professional engineer and did not deliberately design a project for Qin State that could not be completed at all.
After the Zhengguo Canal was completed, 40,000 mu of fertile land in Guanzhong were harvested every year, and there were no water and cold disasters. These benefits were visible and tangible.
The king and minister of Qin were admired by Zheng’s knowledge of water conservancy.
After the war in Yan State ended, Wang Ben led his army to besiege Daliang, but he could not conquer it for a long time. At this time, he asked to call Zheng State, and his intention was quite clear.
Daliang City has been in operation for a hundred years, with a tall and deep city and sufficient reserves. It is a metropolis worthy of the six countries in Shandong. It is hard to imagine how huge the project should be for a water attack like a metropolis.
There was nothing strange that Wang Ben could think of a way to attack the beam by water.
Looking back, Meng Tian looked at the direction of Daliang City to the east, thinking in his heart, how to capture Daliang City, hasn’t Xinling Jun pointed out a clear path for latecomers?
If the beam is lowered, it will be fought with water.
When Xinlingjun was alive, he wrote a letter to King Anli of Wei. He should not be too superstitious about the tall walls and convenient supply system of Daliang City.
When King Hui of Wei built Daliang City, he was not careless. Daliang City not only had a large wall, but also had a crisscrossing water net around it. It not only provided the major arteries, but also effectively blocked the enemy's offensive. Therefore, with the balance of movement and stillness and the combination of hardness and softness for hundreds of years, the defense system that balances Daliang has caused a headache for every army that has attacked Daliang.
As time passed, Qin State continued to attack Wei State for a hundred years, and Wei State lost most of its territory. It defended Daliang with no external reinforcements, and Daliang's neck was like a noose hanging around it. It was only a matter of time before he died. Xinling Jun was proficient in military affairs and had insight into the dangerous situation in Daliang City after the Qin army was at the city, and he kept reminding King Anli of Wei.
Unfortunately, in the mind of King Anli of Wei, Xinlingjun's threat far exceeded that of the Qin army.
The letter from Xinling Jun is kept in the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, which is exactly the same as the original version in the Daliang Palace.
Wang Ben, who is now under Daliang City, thinks he has read this book.
When passing by Xinzheng, Jing Su led the renovated cavalry to meet with Meng Tian.
"The county magistrate Qu Teng led the army to destroy Han and went to Nanjun to join General Li Xin."
After seeing the familiar chief general, the generals under his command seemed very happy. After Jing Su returned the tiger talisman, he relaxed: "The envoy from Xianyang came to pass the order. We thought we would move to Nanjun, but we didn't expect that we would return to the general's command in the end."
Meng Tian once led his army to fight against the Chu army, and it was not surprising that Jing Su had such an idea.
"What's wrong with the army when I'm not here?"
After taking the tiger talisman, Meng Tian finally calmed down.
This cavalry was carefully trained by him and had already poured out great emotions. The Qin army did not say anything about private soldiers and generals, and Ying Zheng issued an order. Meng Tian would not resist the command of the army, but the reluctance in his heart was inevitable.
Fortunately, Meng Tian personally led few direct troops and did not station in Guanzhong, so Ying Zheng felt relieved to let Meng Tian lead the Great Wall cavalry.
"The military training was normal, and I got along safely with the local Guizhou leader, and no conflicts happened."
Meng Hu handed over the bamboo slips in his hand, which briefly recorded the training logs in the army.
"At the end of last year, people were a little unstable in Xinzheng City. The Dark Eagle I sent out learned that someone in the Korean royal family was plotting against Qin."
When Meng Tian talked about the past that happened in Xianyang and learned that Han Wangan was trying to escape, Jing Su suddenly remembered the secret operation in Xinzheng City: "At that time, after I reported to the county magistrate Teng, the county magistrate Teng instructed me to send someone to assassinate the clan members who were ready to move."
"The county magistrate Teng handled it right, so as not to have too many dreams."
Jing Su looked at Meng Tian quietly, and saw that Meng Tian was not angry, so he felt relieved.
With Meng Tian’s methods of acting, he always had to use a long line to catch big fish, seize the opportunity, and capture all the anti-Qin elements hidden in the dark.
"The Qin State has just conquered Han. If an uprising in Yingchuan attacks Qin, it will inevitably lead to the impression that the foundation of Qin's rule is not stable."
Meng Tian smiled and explained: "The county magistrate Teng directly extinguished the flame invisibly, but he thought it very carefully."
What Meng Tian didn't say is that Qu Teng was about to be transferred to Nanjun, and he would not let the Koreans in Yingchuan get up and cause trouble, which would affect his image as a capable official.
"These old nobles in South Korea have become Guizhou leaders, and their dissatisfaction will last for a long time. As long as there is dissatisfaction in their hearts, there is no possibility of plotting again. You continue to send people to monitor them closely and don't let these people cause trouble behind their backs."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang, the anti-Qin element with the greatest energy, still had many old nobles plotting against Qin.
Zhao's anti-Qin activities had just stopped, and South Korea was affected again.
When Meng Tian thought of Zhao State, he remembered someone.
"Where has Chen Yu, the hero of Zhao State, gone now?"
