Chapter 247: The Proposal to Capture the Great Liang (2)

"The people of Daliang are flesh and blood, and have beautiful wives and young children, and old parents at home. But has Mr. Zheng Guo ever thought that behind my Qin soldiers, there are no parents and brothers...?"

Wang Ben's fingers kept shaking, and a fearful murderous aura erupted from his body, which scared Zheng Guo a little at a loss.

He didn't expect that once the generals led the troops would be so angry.

When the emperor was angry, he bleeded. But when the general was angry, the people from a city would suffer.

Wang Ben is under too much pressure.

Meng Tian sighed secretly.

Wang Ben would not achieve such achievements as Wang Jian, but he was still an excellent general. The excellent general in the eyes of soldiers would take the soldiers' vital interests to heart, and would not make too much consideration for the enemy for the sake of a false reputation.

Wang Ben said nothing wrong. If you want to reduce the casualties of the Qin army, you must choose the simplest and most effective way to attack the city.

The geographical location of Daliang City is naturally suitable to be a classic example of water attack.

"Mr. Zheng Guo said that the Guizhou leader in Daliang City is innocent, and I cannot agree."

Meng Tian stretched out his hands, unfolded the somewhat messy map again, and spoke slowly.

"Why is this?"

Wang Ben and Zheng both spoke in unison, looking at Meng Tian in surprise.

Wang Ben originally thought that Meng Tian would stand on the side of Zheng State and secretly opposed his plan to attack Daliang.

The generals of the Meng family did not agree with the mass murder since Meng Ao led his troops. When Meng Tian was stationed in Handan, he personally captured Huan Yi, who had been beheading the residents of Handan for no reason, which made many Qin generals very dissatisfied.

It was precisely because of this experience that Wang Ben was unwilling to lead troops with Meng Tian. But for some reason, Ying Zheng sent Meng Tian to assist him and sent Li Xin to Nanjun.

Zheng Guo seemed a little curious about what kind of rhetoric Meng Tian, ​​a fast-rise young general, would have.

In Daliang City, there are so many elderly, weak, women and children, and under the attack of water, it is inevitable that the fish in the pond will not be affected. Who else is more innocent than them?

Thinking of this, Zheng Guo was in a state of great emotion, thinking about how to refute Meng Tian.

"War is not just a confrontation between the two armies, but a confrontation between the two countries as a whole."

Studying the wars during the Warring States Period and combining the reforms of the Legalists, Meng Tian was surprised to find that as early as the Warring States Period, China entered the era of total warfare.

"In the city of Daliang, the soldiers of the Wei army were fighting. In the city, the old man was repairing his armor, the women were making military uniforms, and the incomplete people were training the Guizhou heads to prepare to fight our army to the end. Our army was not fighting the Wei army, but fighting the Wei people in Daliang City."

The military mobilization system established by the Legalists included everyone. War was no longer a game between nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, civilians were deeply involved in wars between countries.

The seven Warring States Periods were able to stand for so many years, and it was precisely because of the establishment of this system of national mobilization. Wei and Qin were no different, only to the extent.

"Yes, if it were not for the support of the Guizhou leader in Daliang City, our army would have already attacked Daliang City."

After the troops arrived at the city of Daliang, Wang Ben took advantage of the panic of the Wei army, and Wang Ben rushed to attack. However, the Qin army was not prepared to attack the city, and Wei State mobilized the Guishou Shangcheng in the city to support it in time, cutting off Wang Ben's idea of ​​taking action to capture Daliang.

During the Warring States Period, Wufeng was extremely popular, and there were many Guizhou leaders in Daliang City who practiced martial arts. Unlike later generations, ordinary people who rushed to battle, they were all powerless and did not even have a kitchen knife in their hands.

"But they didn't hold their swords to fight against the Qin army?"

Zheng State settled in Qin State for many years and witnessed the Qin people's enthusiasm for war. Young people joined the army, women and elderly people were farming at home, and children began to learn swords when they were seven years old, and were eager to go into battle to kill the enemy.

The Qin army was expeditioning and transporting food to the front line was the real Qin leader of the Qin State.

"Under war, there is no innocence, only natural selection."

Meng Tian shook his head and had to agree with the supreme sayings from ancient military strategists.

War is cruel, but war has forged a powerful country. Throughout history, many people have pityed the innocent people who died in the war, but these people are the same, but they do not mind singing praises to the kings with great martial arts.

"Mr. Zheng Guo, I can understand that you are worried about the Guizhou leader. As a general who leads the troops, you must consider the soldiers under your command and not sacrifice their lives for nothing."

If it is for the sake of so-called benevolence and unreasonable damage to the interests of soldiers, who would be willing to fight with such a general?

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. For generals, the soldiers under their command are the currents that determine the fate of the general.

"Shao Shang Zao, what do you think of this? Our army sent people to the city to shout, calling on the Guizhou leader in Daliang City to take the initiative to leave Daliang. After March, our army officially attacked Daliang."

"Send someone to shout?"

Wang Ben stared at Meng Tian with a low voice and dissatisfied.

He wrote a letter specifically asking Zheng State to come to Daliang City secretly, either because he was worried that Wei State would take targeted precautions after it learned about it.

Or, send assassins to assassinate Zheng State.

"Water attacks Daliang. Such a huge siege cannot be completely confidential. It is better to be upright and put under the eyes of the Wei people."

Wang Ben followed Wang Jian to learn how to use troops and inherited Wang Jian's usual prudence. However, the Qin army under Daliang City had a great advantage. Only the chief general did not make stupid mistakes, and the Wei State had no possibility of turning the tables.

Ying Zheng sent Dunruo to Qi to lobby for the King of Qi and sent back clear news that Qi was passively prepared for war and was not prepared for any war.

The State of Chu felt the crisis and actively sent troops. However, facing the Nanjun where Li Xin and Qu Teng were in charge, they would have to lose their troops and lose their generals.

Nanjun has been in Qin for more than 50 years. People here are used to the life of Qin and will not easily respond to the favors of the Chu people.

"Are you upright?"

Wang Ben chuckled in secret and almost mocked Meng Tian for being Duke Xiang of Song.

The idea of ​​self-soldiers and deceitful soldiers was widely recognized, and China's wars no longer had the upright stupid behavior of Duke Xiang of Song.

"Um?"

Xin Sheng, who was sitting on Wang Ben's right hand, suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked Wang Ben's knee.

Wang Ben glanced at Xin Sheng inadvertently, but saw that Xin Sheng was still stroking his beard, as if nothing had happened.

The desk blocked Meng Tian's view, and Meng Tian did not notice Xin Sheng's small movements.

Wang Ben did not respond directly to Meng Tian, ​​but looked at Zheng Guo who was a little dazed.

At present, only Zheng State can help him realize the idea of ​​water attacking Daliang. He doesn't want Zheng State to secretly stumbling to him. Zhibo's water attacks Jinyang, but is devoured by water. Wang Ben does not want to be a joke in later generations. Wang Ben took a breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and asked in a deep voice:

"What else can Mr. Zheng say?"
