The 256th chapter guest of the beam (1)
The canals dug by the Qin army spread at a speed visible to the naked eye. The land outside Daliang City, from a high place, seemed to have become a chess game with ravines and scattered in an orderly manner.
The Wei people at the head of Daliang City did not have the intention to appreciate the Qin people's superb water conservancy technology.
Looking at the exit of the canal, facing the Daliang City Wall empty, the hearts of the Wei people gradually became heavy and gloomy.
"General, what should I do now?"
Wang Zeng of Wei, who always advocated perseverance to the end, finally felt fear on his face.
"The king, the old minister said the same thing, immediately send an envoy to Chu State for rescue."
Gong Shuchong once again raised the topic of surrendering to Chu State, not caring about the dignity of the king: "As long as Chu State is willing to send troops to rescue, no matter what the conditions are, Wei State can agree."
"Go to the king's name and surrender to the State of Chu?" Wei Zeng looked very painful.
"If you still hold a vassal to the State of Chu, you can still maintain your status as a marquis. If you die in the hands of Qin, you will become a commoner."
Gong Shuchong did not think that Chu had the strength to annex Wei State. The most important thing at the moment was not dignity, but whether it could protect the Wei State's country.
Only Qin State has the possibility of completely annexing Wei State.
"Oh, I'm chasing the Chu Man, and the kings of Wei have known each other in the spring. I'm unfilial...
Wei Zeng lowered his head helplessly and sat on the couch weakly.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people fought bravely and fiercely, went north to the Central Plains, annexed countless vassal states. They fought with the Jin State for a hundred years and really won the recognition of the princes of the Central Plains.
It can be recognized by recognition, and the people of the Central Plains have never truly respected the State of Chu in their hearts.
In private, when making jokes, the Chu people often become the protagonists, showing ignorance and pedanticity. Thinking about the jokes about the former Soviet Union and North Korea that were circulated in later generations, you can understand the weight of the Chu people in the hearts of the Central Plains.
The Qin people in the west, the Chu people in the south, and the Wei Kingdom in its heyday never took it seriously.
Thirty years in Hedong, Thirty years in Hexi. After Shang Yang's reforms, Qin State rose, and in several wars, Wei State lost its troops and generals, and was already scared by Qin State.
The Wei people felt helpless when they expressed their surrender to Qin. After the battle between Wu'an Jun, Bai Qi and Huayang, the Wei people suffered from Qin's phobia from then on.
After the Chu State entered the Warring States Period, it seemed to have entered aging old age. There was no longer the enterprising atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the dusk was in a deep state.
After fighting with Wei several times, Chu never got any advantage. When King Dao of Chu was in power, Wu Qi went north to rescue Zhao and defeated the Wei army, but the Wei army did not suffer any serious losses.
After Wu Qi's death, Chu State had only had to be beaten. If Chu State had not been large and broad in depth, Wei State would not have been afraid of launching a war of destruction with Chu State.
"If you want to be a minister, you will be a minister. I am about to destroy the Qin people, and I don't care about that much."
If you can't let go of your composure, it means that the situation is not yet very critical. When the situation is really urgent, dignity can be given up.
Wei Zeng raised his head, rubbed his ache temple with his hands, throwing away the unnecessary thoughts in his heart.
Although the State of Chu has never been favored by the Wei people, it seems that only the power of the Chu people can rely on at this time.
"The king is wise and endures a temporary suffering, and he will be able to endure the suffering."
When Gongshu Chong saw that Wei Zeng agreed to submit to Chu State, he offered a big and small flattery.
The Qin army sieges the city for a long time and are heavily guarded. However, Daliang City was a rare metropolis in the Warring States Period. The city walls stretched for fifty miles, and the Qin army's encirclement could not be tightly and tightly.
The Wei army was unable to break through, and it was not difficult to take out a team of dozens of people at night.
"King, when will the reinforcements arrive? There is no clear idea yet. The Qin army shouted every day, asking the common people in the city to leave on their own initiative. I think we can cause trouble for the Qin people?"
Gongshu Chong glanced at Wei Zeng, feeling a little nervous.
The Qin army attacked Daliang in the water, and was full of momentum. In the city of Daliang, there were not timid common people who wanted to really leave Daliang. But Wei Zeng issued a dead order, and the defenders did not dare to let go.
"What good idea did the General think of?"
Wei Zeng's eyes lit up, and he sat up, his heart full of expectations.
······
"The war in Wei State has now been decided. If nothing unexpected happens, the lifespan of Wei State will be only these three or four months."
While eating, Meng Tian was eating rice balls while listening to the slight sound of rain outside the tent.
Just after May, the weather was not good, and it rained a few light rains. According to the local Wei people, at the end of May and early June every year, the rainy season in the Central Plains will arrive, and there will be almost a month of rain.
The Qin people drew river water and flooded the beams, which happened to be the continuous rainy season. Daliang City, which was built with rammed earth, was soaked in floods. Even if the city walls were rammed and solid, they would only last for three months at most.
"Next, Dark Eagle's manpower can focus on the south."
Meng Tian began to assign tasks to Jing Su through the rice balls in his hand. The rice balls in ancient China were packed in bamboo tubes, which were simple to make and easy to carry. Later, the Japanese learned them and became a foreign feature.
"Is this a preparation for the future attack on Chu State?"
Jing Su put down the chopsticks that were pickling up pickles and thought about it. He has been following Meng Tian for many years, knowing that Meng Tian will not be aimless.
When he was stationed in Nanyang County, Meng Tian arranged people to secretly go to Chu State. Now the power of the Dark Eagle is mainly deployed to Chu State, so it goes without saying what Meng Tian wants to do.
"There will be a battle between Qin and Chu."
The Qin and Chu, the in-laws that once married for generations, will sooner or later mobilize the entire country to fight until the final winner is left.
"As the saying goes, be prepared for any trouble. The battle to destroy Chu is not clear yet. However, there is no harm in preparing early."
Ying Zheng transferred Li Xin to Nanjun to guard against Chu's invasion, without revealing the intention of appointing Li Xin as a general.
In the minds of many Qin people, they still believed that the Wang general who destroyed Chu was the king.
However, Wang's contributions were made great enough, and Ying Zheng did not have the idea of flying birds in his heart, but he would try to balance the strength in the army.
The influence of the Montessori in the army is now subject to checks and balances by the Wang family.
Ying Zheng did not expect that after the rise of Wang, the Meng family seemed a little dim.
After Wang Jian destroyed Yan, Ying Zheng vaguely had the intention of offering to Wang Jian.
"I understand what the general means." Jing Su stopped asking, picked up a piece of pickle, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered, "After eating this rice ball, I'll make arrangements now..."
"It's not so urgent that you are not allowed to finish your breakfast."
Meng Tian ordered his personal soldiers to send another rice ball to give Jing Su a full meal.
After Ying Zheng took power, the Qin army went out of Hangu in the east, and there was no risk of shortage of food. With this alone, the Qin army had more respect for the kings in Xianyang City.
An army with well-logized logistics is always prone to high morale.
"Woo woo woo woo--"
After enjoying breakfast, Meng Tian was about to go out to inspect the military camp. Suddenly, a clamor sound came from the front camp, and it seemed that some Wei people had left the city...
