Chapter 250 Qin Army Repairs the Canal (1)
On the day when the Qin army shouted to Daliang City, the Qin army camp gate opened wide after the ceremonies.
The Wei army on the top of the city looked around and saw Qin soldiers holding weapons in one hand, but holding plows and iron turtles in the other hand.
For some reason, no one could smile when he saw Qin Jun's special dress, but his heart was trembling inexplicably.
When the water attacks Daliang, it seems that the Qin army is not just talking about it!
In the Central Army camp, Wang Ben held the engineering drawings designed by Zheng Guo in his hand and asked carefully.
"Mr. Zheng Guo, bringing the river to Daliang, is this water controllable?"
The Yellow River during this period was turbulent and abundant in water, which was far from comparable to the Yellow River that often cut off from later generations.
"There are young masters. The Wei State has built an embankment along the river. Our army only needs to open a hole in the embankment to lure the river water to the beam."
Despite his reluctance, Zheng State still had to serve the Qin army with all his heart. Due to Meng Tian's suggestion, Wang Ben finally agreed to allow the Guizhou head in Daliang City to leave freely within three months.
For three months, Wang Ben would not sit still and wait for the King of Wei to surrender. Zheng State cheered up and carefully used words in order to appease the general who was afraid of him.
"Before the opening of the dam, the same dam needs to be built behind the dam."
Zheng Guo held a charcoal pen in his hand and drew a semicircular line on the sheepskin map.
"Why is this?"
Wang Ben narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, Zheng Guo would not be able to play any tricks.
After all, Zheng State was once a Korean spy and lurked in Qin State for a long time. Thinking of the dark history of Zheng State in the past, Wang Ben secretly had a scheming.
"The dam at the rear is connected to the dam at the front through a ditches, and a gate can control the amount of water flowing to the beams."
Zheng did not notice Wang Ben's abnormality, but explained patiently and meticulously.
Once the engineering issues were involved, Zheng Guo instantly entered another state. This state of commitment from the inside out almost infected Wang Ben, who had a deep sense of determination.
······
Wang Ben has studied the case of Zhibo Water attacking Jinyang. He may not have a good understanding of water conservancy projects, but he has a general understanding.
In addition to diverting the water from the river, Zheng State's plan also needs to connect the gulf from the south and connect the water conservancy system around the beam. Taking advantage of the arrival of rain every year, a macroscopic scene of water from all directions rushing to the beam.
"In this way, the beam can be trapped."
After Zheng State left, Wang Ben nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, Zheng State did not secretly stumbling to him.
He didn't want to see the water flow backward when the water attacked the beam, and became the second person in Zhibo.
"General Xin, although Zheng State's plan is not a problem, he still has to send someone to stare at him secretly."
In a blink of an eye, Wang Ben suddenly stopped the smile on his face and said to Xin Sheng behind him in a deep voice: "If Zheng State has contact with the Wei and Han people, arrest them immediately......"
"Mr. Zheng Guo, isn't it recognized the plan of water attacking the beam?"
Zheng State left Wang Ben's central army camp and happened to meet Meng Tian who was going to shout at the city of Daliang.
"General Meng, since you can win the March period for the head of Guizhou in Daliang City, how can Zheng State be greedy and not do its best?"
Zheng State bowed with both hands, looked at the magnificent and prosperous Daliang City, and sighed: "There are only the general who can save many innocent lives."
"Shaozhao is too worried. Mr. Zheng Guo's serious attitude towards water conservancy projects is so amazed by the king."
After Zheng State entered Qin, he persuaded Qin State to build Zheng State Canal. If Zheng State was determined to be a spy, the Zheng State Canal could be designed as a deceptive project.
By the time Qin State wasted a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, he could only get a unfinished building with no hope of success. Wouldn't it be better to complete the task of Qin assigned by the King of Han?
"The Zheng Guo Canal built by Mr. Zheng Guo was in Guanzhong and was beneficial to the Qianshou. Even a hundred years later, the land of Guanzhong will still spread Mr. Zheng's kindness."
Meng Tian got off the horse, threw the reins into Meng Hu's hands, and walked side by side with Zheng State.
"Mr. Zheng Guo should not have too many concerns in his heart. As the saying goes, it is better to understand shortly than long pain. If you want to end this chaotic Warring States period, you must sweep away the Liuhe with thunder. We sacrifice more, so that later on people can enjoy peace."
The world has been in war for so many years, and the seven kingdoms have been in constant war. As long as the world cannot be unified for one day, the people on this land must continue to fight.
In the 21st century, after the war was abolished by international law, international disputes continued. During the Warring States period more than two thousand years ago, some laws of exchange formed between countries. However, it was impossible to expect the seven major warring countries to live peacefully from now on.
Meng Tian sincerely hoped that after Qin State wiped out Liuhe, he won a relatively long period of unification from then on.
"How can I not understand the truth that the general said?"
Zheng Guo smiled bitterly and said, "Although long pain is worse than short pain, I can't bear it after all, watching Daliang City become a place where mudflats are bathed in the water."
"Some things that you can't bear to do even if you can't bear."
Meng Tian suddenly stopped and looked at the Qin soldiers who were digging a ditch. Under the black armor, bright red blood was also flowing.
"Water attacks Daliang, whether for the Guizhou heads in Daliang City or for the Qin soldiers, there will be fewer deaths."
Meng Tian pointed at the large number of tall city walls and guided Zheng State's gaze and landed on the head of Daliang City.
"The Qin army attacked Daliang, and with Daliang's current defense, it is possible to conquer Daliang only by killing at least one-third of his soldiers."
Speaking of this, Meng Tian turned around, pointed at the Qin soldiers nearby, and looked at Zheng State solemnly.
"If the Qin army suffered huge casualties before conquering Daliang, Mr. Zheng Guo, what kind of mentality do you think the surviving Qin soldiers would have?"
"Take···Kill···"
Zheng Guo was shocked and spit out these two words intermittently.
"Yes, huge casualties will distort the psychology of an army."
After Meng Tian led his troops, he avoided attacking the city with huge casualties unless he had no choice but to avoid the soldiers' emotions being out of control.
"After the Battle of Changping, Wu'anjun killed more than 200,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army, on the one hand, in order to eliminate the Zhao army's vitality, and on the other hand—"
Meng Tian paused intentionally, then slowly said: "In the battle of Changping, the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties. The surviving Qin soldiers need to vent their resentment, and even Wu'an Jun cannot suppress the resentment of hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
In the era of cold weapons, when the general's attack on a strong city was not smooth, he often promised that the soldiers would allow the city to be massacred after conquering the city.
The so-called rebel army led by Xiang Yu and Liu Ji all had the experience of massacre of the city. Meng Tian could not guarantee that the Qin army, which suffered huge casualties, would not do the same thing spontaneously.
Zheng Guo was stunned and stood there. He didn't expect that the soldiers would be so terrible when they vented.
Meng Tian walked forward, reached out and patted Zheng Guo's thin shoulders to comfort the somewhat lost water conservancy engineer.
"There is no longer Daliang City, and there is no possibility of reconstruction. However, if a person is gone, he cannot reshape his body with a white bone."
