Chapter 251 Qin Jun repairs the canal (2)
In April, the winter wheat has ears, and the harvest season is approaching, but there is no trace of joy in the hearts of the people of Daliang.
Outside Daliang City, the wheat seeds sown last winter grew gratifyingly. Qin soldiers who dug ditches did not have the patience to wait for the wheat in the fields to fully mature, and shoveled them all the way, making Daliang people feel heartbroken.
When weapons are brought up, they are soldiers, and when they pick up iron turtles, they are people. The Qin army in front of them reminded Meng Tian of the army that fought all over China in the later generations.
"General Meng, the construction site here is open. What should we do if the Wei army in the city comes out?"
In the north gate of Daliang City, the hydraulic workers who were responsible for commanding the construction looked up from time to time to check the head of Daliang City, and their faces looked very uneasy.
"Just keep worrying about the construction. I am worried that they won't come out in the Wei army in Daliang City."
The hydraulic worker who had not received military training could not be calm. His voice was not loud, but the Qin soldiers who were digging canals nearby raised their heads and looked over.
Meng Tian held a knife in both hands and leaned on the ground. The cloak behind him fluttered in the wind. His face was covered with light wind and clouds, without any panic.
Facing the soldiers' gazes, Meng Tian waved his hand with great interest, almost saying: Thank you for your hard work, comrades.
"This water worker is so timid!"
"No, maybe I haven't even killed a chicken."
"What are you killing chickens or not? I'm afraid I haven't seen chicken blood before."
······
The general is the courage of the soldiers, and Meng Tian's calmness calmed down the uneasiness in the soldiers' hearts.
The Qin soldiers smiled and waved the iron turtle in their hands again, shoveling the soil under their feet like when they were farming at home.
No matter what era, people always say something dirty when they work. At this time, the timid water workers became the target of fun by Qin soldiers.
In the Warring States Period, wars continued. People advocated brave men, especially the Qin people who were happy when they heard about war.
"Menghu, Mengbao, stare at the head of Daliang City carefully, and don't let go of any movement."
The water worker left with a tough bullet, but Meng Tian was not as relaxed as he seemed. He stared at the direction of the city gate intently and felt the abnormal breath in the air.
The murderous aura has always existed in literary and artistic works. Meng Tian has led his troops for a long time, sweating and blood, and sometimes he can feel the aura of danger coming.
Perhaps, murderous aura is originally a kind of intuition.
"General, Li Bi, and Luo Jia are all ready."
Meng Hu stood behind Meng Tian, calmly speaking, lowering his voice: "It would be fine if the Wei army did not leave the city. If it was out of the city, hum......"
Meng Bao stroked the knife on his waist, and inadvertently stretched out his tongue, circled his lips, and a bloodthirsty look appeared in his eyes.
After the end of the Battle of Destruction of South Korea, the Great Wall Corps was ordered to rest and Meng Bao had not been moistened by blood for a long time.
"Remember, if the Wei army leaves the city, our army will take the priority of snatching the city gate."
Meng Tian narrowed her eyes and looked at the tall northern gate of Daliang City, with a faint expectation in her heart.
The Qin army attacked Daliang by the water, and the project was huge and could not be kept secret at all. Meng Tian simply made a big move and shouted everywhere, fearing that the Wei people would not know the Qin army's plan to attack Daliang by the water.
Death is not terrible. What is terrible is the despair when death approaches. Even the warriors who have been through the battlefield will be suppressed and mentally collapsed.
The Qin army was vigorously building a canal leading to Daliang, putting nooses on Daliang bit by bit. The Wei army in the city would never let the Qin army do it and wait for death.
After the death of Xinlingjun of Wei, there were no more famous generals in military affairs. However, in such a martial atmosphere as the Warring States Period, the general of Wei who was responsible for defending the city would never be a literati and nerd who knew nothing.
In Daliang City, General Gong Shuchong, the general of Wei State, sat in the main seat of the General's Mansion, frowned, and knocked on the table from time to time with his index finger on his right hand, feeling a little hesitant.
After receiving the news that the Qin army was really good at attacking Daliang, Gongshu Chong immediately entered the palace and reported to King Zeng of Wei about the crisis of the situation.
Gong Shuchong suggested that King Zeng of Wei send a heavyweight envoy to Chu State again to marry the princess of Wei and the King of Chu, and pay tribute to Chu State in exchange for Chu State's efforts to move north to break the siege of Wei State.
In the Qi State in the east, Gongshu Chong no longer had any hope.
"Oh, the king thinks he has endured the Chinese truth and is unwilling to submit to Chu State, and Wei State is in danger."
After a long time, Gongshu Chong came to his senses and sighed secretly.
The ancestors of Wei State were once glorious, and the people of Wei State had their own pride in their hearts.
The Chu State in the south, even if it is five thousand miles away and holds a million halberds, is still a barbarian in the minds of the people of the Central Plains.
If one is not a clan, his heart will be different. This sentence is first used by the people of Chu.
After King Zhuang of Chu ascended the throne, Chu State actively absorbed the Central Plains culture, but it was superficial and in the bones, the people of Chu still believed that they were not the same as China.
When the Central Plains system arrived in Chu State, the Chu people would always start a new trick and create different new tricks. The scholars in the Central Plains rarely defected to Chu State, and even if they went there, they would be unacceptable to the local conditions.
"The King's Envoy is here!"
Gongshu Chong raised his head and saw a eunuch wearing a bright colorful clothes, holding a piece of silk cloth in his hand, and walked in swaggeringly.
"General, the king sent me to inquire about our army's plan to go out of the city to fight, how has the general been implemented?"
"Our army should not leave the city rashly."
Gong Shuchong shook his head: "The Qin generals can conquer and fight well, but our army will not have good advantages. If we want to break the siege of Daliang, we can only rely on the Chu people at the moment."
"It is better to rely on those Chu barbarians to fight to the death than our army."
The eunuch smiled contemptuously and looked down on Gong Shuchong's statement: "The Qin army is not invincible. Zhao can severely damage the Qin people under the city of Handan, and Wei can do it too."
After the reform of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao State rose rapidly and became the Warring States Period with the strongest military strength among the six Shandong countries. For some reason, as Zhao State rose, the hearts of the people of Wei State were always sour, just like the poor neighbor next door suddenly made a fortune and lived a better life than themselves.
It was precisely with this mentality that during the Battle of Changping that the State of Wei had the intention of watching the tiger fight in the mountains and let Zhao defeat him.
"One time, another time."
Gongshu Chong still argued: "Handan is located north of the river and there is no risk of floods. After the Changping War of the Qin army, the soldiers were exhausted and lost their spirits."
"The people of Handan share the same hatred of the enemy, resist the Qin army inside, and obtain strong aid outside and attack from inside and outside, so that the Battle of Handan will be won."
Gong Shuchong pointed to the map on the table. It turned out that the lands of Zhao, Yan and South Korea have now become black representing Qin.
"Now, there is an isolated city in Daliang, and there are no reinforcements outside. At this time, the only opportunity to survive is that the Chu people can go north and attack the Qin army in Wei."
Speaking of this, Gong Shuchong showed a hint of despair in his eyes. He knew in his heart that only when the Chu people mobilized the national war, just like King Huai of Chu attacked Qin, could he have a chance of success.
The eunuch ignored Gong Shuchong's words, and did not notice the sorrow in Gong Shuchong's eyes, but spread the cloth in his hand.
"No matter what you say, I can't control that much. Now I will read the king's order to you and order the general to arrange for his troops to leave the city immediately and kill the Qin army's canal repairing troops..."
