Chapter 597 General, how can there be thunder in the upstream!(1/2)
Five days later!
Wang Ben went to Daliang again to ask for people, and at this time, he returned to the tent again.
His face looked embarrassed, and then he came to Su Jie in two steps, bowed his head, and said, "General, the Wei State is as timid as a mouse, and he dared not leave the city. He also found an excuse to refuse to send more civilians. We just intend to save each other, and I am afraid that it will not work."
Su Jie said: "Since that's the case, then don't worry. What's the dams at the three places in Jishui, Huaihe, and Honggou now?"
Zhang Tang immediately bowed and responded: "Return to General, the dams of Jishui and Huai River have been filled, and now the water storage has begun, but the sequel to the water is extremely slow. After all, this year..."
There is a dam at the intersection of Ji River and the Ganggu!
Generally, after building a dam, the water level of Ji River will be high and the gap will be low.
However, in the gulf outside Daliang City, two water flows into the gulf.
In addition to Jishui, there is another one that is Huai River.
The currents in both places will enter the gap!
Now, both the Ji River and Huai River have been made into embankments, but the water level is too low.
This is the worry of the generals.
However, except for these two.
There is another branch in the Honggou, which will directly enter Putian Garden on the north side of Daliang.
Putian Garden is a large canal similar to flood diversion. Now Putian Garden can be said to have no water.
The Putian Garden brings together Daliang's shipping and water gate.
This is the relationship between Dahe and Daliang.
Su Jie said: "Wang Ben, dig all the ditches into Putian Garden within three days!"
Everyone suddenly changed color.
Previously, Wang Ben was ordered to be scared by the Wei army, digging holes outside the city to avoid the cold, and besiege Daliang by the way.
Digging holes to avoid the cold is a common thing for marching in winter.
The Wei army naturally had no doubts.
At most, the Qin army dug more and surrounded the beam. Then, for the sake of insurance, dug a full three floors around the beam.
But.
No one could have imagined that this crisscrossing digging cave would actually be the grave of Daliang.
Because these canals look square, but is the real purpose just to siege Daliang? After Wang Ben got the order, a hint of excitement flashed across his face.
The tunnels that dig holes open to Putian. At that time, once the dam is destroyed, water will be allowed to flow into Daliang City. The surrounding tunnels will lead to various water gates.
The entire Daliang will be inseparable from the escape! Being surrounded by the flood.
It is equivalent to cutting off all the life paths of Wei State.
at this time.
In the city of Daliang, the palace hall.
The King of Wei sat down with his head down, feeling a little uneasy at the head of the hall, while the ministers stood quietly on both sides below.
Wei Zeng looked at Wei Yan and asked, "Today, the Qin general is here to ask for someone again?"
Wei Yan said: "Hmph, lord, don't pay attention. In a month, we will fight directly out. Isn't it a problem to mobilize all the troops in this way?"
Wei Zeng nodded and said, "Okay, just as the general said, but don't irritate the general of Qin too much, after all, after all..."
Wei Zeng's words seemed a little scared.
I'm going to steal the tower soon. I'm still a little scared to steal the tower of Qin.
suddenly.
An urgent voice came from outside the hall.
When someone came, he said, "What happened to Sikong?"
The State of Wei followed the official positions of Jin.
Sikong is the main official in charge of land, construction, and land tax, similar to the history of Tianbu in Zhao State.
Sikong said: "I reported to the king, I was inspecting all parts of the city as usual, but I found that the water level of the Daliang moat had dropped a lot. I thought it was because of the season, but later, I went to several wells in the city to explore and found that the well water was half a foot lower than before."
"Oh? The water from the moat fell?"
"This? Why is this?"
The King of Wei and many ministers were very curious.
Continuous discussion.
The underground of Daliang City is crisscrossing, and many underbranches pour in. Among them, most of the rivers in the moat are diverted from the underground of the Honggu. If the water in the Honggu does not drop, how can the moat descend?
And the gap.
Connect the Ji River and Huai River.
soon.
Wei Zeng asked: "Is it because Qin State is building a bridge, so he used that stone to block the water flow?"
Everyone nodded.
Sikong continued: "King, I thought so at first, but later I found out that it was wrong."
Everyone immediately thought about it.
Sikong continued: "If the water of the Honggou does not drop, the water of the moat will naturally not drop. Now, the water of the moat has dropped a lot more than in previous years. It can be seen that the water of the Honggou is much less. However, if the result is caused by the Qin State blocking the Ji River, it may be wrong, because there are two tributaries in the west of the Gate, one is the Ji River and the other is the Wei River. Even if the Ji River is separated, the Wei River will be smooth! Unless the Qin army even fills the Wei River."
"What does Qin Jun want to do?"
"this?"
It’s not that no one wants to attack the water.
Back then, King Huiwen of Zhao had not done anything about flooding Daliang, but so what? What was that season?
It was August.
Moreover, on the edge of the river, it was flooding.
What is the current season?
Someone said, "Could it be that the Qin army wants to destroy the water source of my Daliang City?"
Suddenly, many people thought about this, which was the greatest possibility.
How could Wang Ben have such a few troops and want to block the beam?
But how can I lock the beam more safely?
Then block the water source of the beam.
Once the soldiers and horses in the city are short of water, something will inevitably happen. At that time, wouldn’t the Qin army take the initiative?
When Wei Yan thought of this, she immediately said, "What a treacherous boy!"
Wei Zeng couldn't help but look at it, and after thinking about it, he immediately understood the truth.
Relatively speaking, Wang Ben was right to do this.
Because, even if the generals with rich experience in attacking tall and strong cities on weekdays, the first thing they consider is not how to attack, because doing so will cause losses to the generals and suffer heavy losses.
Instead, I will consider how to cut off water and food!
How many people are there in Daliang City?
Not to mention cutting off water, it is a great thing to weaken the supply of water.
If everyone had been Wang Ben, I'd probably think of doing this!
Once the water is broken, ordinary cities will be destroyed without attacking!
However, Wei Yan suddenly laughed and said, "Wang Ben is probably making the wrong plan. It's not a dark river underground in Daliang City. How many wells did Sikong look at?"
Sikong was stunned and said, "I only looked at the well at the north gate."
In the city, many wells are registered.
The entire city of Daliang is generally not less than a few hundred!
Think about it, the city where 600,000 soldiers and civilians are located requires a lot of water. Therefore, most capitals of the country, and even the Forbidden City in later generations, had urban constructions that opened canals and entered the city.
At this time, if the moat is lowered, then the only way to use well water.
But it does not mean that the water from the canal flowing through the moat cannot be used, but it is a bit deep and difficult to reach!
It looks shallow now, and it may not take long to make it even lighter.
Wei Yan said: "King, this kid uses treason to deceive us. In my opinion, I don't have to pay attention to it. At most one month, I will let this kid suffer the consequences. When I wait, I secretly come out of the south gate, enter the Huai River, and go north to attack Handan. The troops in the Gangkok and Ji River will definitely be attacked by our army from north to south!"
Wei Zeng said: "Since the war between the two countries is imminent, there is no need to be polite. The general ordered people to look forward to the Qin army. It was a delusion that Wang Ben wanted to cut off the water source of Daliang! The people in the city comforted the people, and the soldiers were also a little bearable, so that there should be no mistakes!"
