Chapter 190 Ying Zheng's Trust

Looking at Wei Wuji who looked confident in front of him.

Zhao Feng glanced at the sturdy Daliang City in the distance again.

"It is indeed a strong city that is difficult to break, but what if it is really broken?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

In his heart.

In fact, there has been a way to break the city, but this method is a bit too heavenly.

But in history.

This method has indeed appeared.

In history.

Qin general Wang Ben was ordered by the king to attack Wei State, and the capital of Wei State was heavily guarded and difficult to break. In the end, Wang Ben led the water of the river and the Honggou to overturn Daliang.

Even the strongest city walls are ultimately unable to resist the power from heaven and earth. In the end, because of the flooding of Daliang, Daliang City turned into a vast ocean, and the stockpiled army and food and grass were all reduced to nothing. In the end, facing this powerless situation.

Wei Wang Jia led the civil and military to surrender.

"If you want to break through, only one out of ten of your Wu'an camp will survive."

"For our Great Wei, it's worth it." Wei Wuji smiled, as if his voice also carried his last madness.

Obviously.

He already knew that Wei would perish, but he also wanted to drag Qin down with him.

This was his goal.

"It seems."

"Xinling Jun has made up his mind."

"Even if I leave this Daliang City with no one left, you must stop my Great Qin army." Zhao Feng's tone was calm, but his words contained the murderous intent of crushing all lives.

Overturn the water of the river and the ditch.

The terrain of Weidu is low-lying. Although it cannot turn this Daliang car into a vast ocean, there will be countless casualties. Similarly, their strong city will become useless and eventually be washed away by the flood.

"I am looking forward to how you will break through my Great Wei capital." Wei Wuji was still very confident. Obviously, he did not think that the defense he had carefully prepared for three years would be easily broken by Zhao Feng.

Even though Zhao Feng had never suffered any defeat since he led the army.

It was still the same when he looked at Wei Wuji.

Zhao Feng shook his head and said no more.

However.

The plan of flooding Daliang has become a foregone conclusion at this moment.

Perhaps this flooding will cause Daliang to overturn, with countless casualties.

But, this is war.

In order to win, Wei Wuji can sacrifice tens of thousands of people to burn the city in Yanggao City.

Since they don't care about it themselves, how much will Zhao Feng care.

Now the two armies are lined up, Wei Wuji wants Wu'an Camp to be buried with the destruction of his Wei Kingdom, Zhao Feng will not tell him like a saint that he will lead the water of the river to overturn.

In this way, Wei Wuji will definitely have a countermeasure.

So.

Doing it silently is the kingly way.

When Hongze attacks Daliang City, all of Wei Wuji's arrangements will be a joke.

"Okay."

"Today I am able to meet you, and I have put my mind at ease."

"Old man, I will not accompany you any longer."

"If you want to destroy my Great Wei, just come at me."

"I am not afraid, and the Great Wei is not afraid."

Wei Wuji stood up slowly and said to Zhao Feng.

Afterwards.

The old body stood straight and went towards Daliang City.

Seeing this.

Zhao Feng naturally did not say much, turned around and walked towards the army.

As soon as Wei Wuji returned to the city.

"Your Majesty."

"What does Zhao Feng mean?"

"Does he want to persuade us to surrender?"

"Although my Great Wei has no way out, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops. If the Qin State wants to destroy my Great Wei, let them come at us."

"Your Majesty, I will never surrender..."

Seeing Wei Wuji coming back, many Wei generals spoke up.

Wei Wuji raised his hand, and the Wei generals who were shouting on the city wall fell silent.

"How could I surrender to him?"

"I have already issued a declaration of war to Zhao Feng. If he dares to come, I will defeat the Qin army."

"From today on, the whole city will be on alert."

"You must be on duty every day and do not give the Qin army any chance to attack." Wei Wuji said coldly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Many Wei generals said in unison.

After giving the order.

Wei Wuji turned around and looked at the Qin army outside the city: "Zhao Feng, Qin, come on!"

"I will personally bury your hundreds of thousands of Qin troops under the capital of my Great Wei, and let you be buried with my Great Wei."

...

After returning to the main camp!

"Withdraw the troops, set up camp five miles away from the city, and wait for the troops to disperse and explore thirty miles away." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Tu Sui, Zhang Han, and Li You immediately received the order.

Then.

The army began to retreat in an orderly manner.

At night.

In the military camp.

Zhao Feng sat in the main seat, with three main generals from Wu'an Camp on both sides.

"General."

"From the current defense layout of Weidu, it seems that there is no other way except to attack with ladders."

"Wei Wuji has built the city walls very thick over the years, and they are all sealed, so they cannot be opened by human power."

"Based on this estimate, if we want to take down Weidu, maybe only one in ten of our Wu'an Camp will survive." Tu Sui's expression became extremely solemn.

"This is Wei Wuji's conspiracy."

"He defended Daliang with all his troops to provoke our Great Qin to take the initiative to attack, because he knew that our Great Qin must attack." Li You also sighed.

Zhang Han on the side did not speak, but his face was also worried.

From their point of view, this matter seems to have come to an end.

The cost of breaking the city is too high.

"Bring the map."

Zhao Feng said.

"Yes."

Zhang Ming responded immediately and picked up the map of Wei from the side.

Then several guards unfolded the map in the tent.

Zhao Feng immediately stood up and walked towards the map. Seeing Zhao Feng stand up, the three generals also stood up immediately and surrounded the map.

"If you want to break the city, you can't attack it by force." Zhao Feng said slowly.

"But in the current situation, our army seems to have no other way except to attack by force." Li You said.

Zhang Han and Tu Sui also nodded.

Zhao Feng didn't say anything, waved his hand, and pointed to a place on the map.

"Do you know where this is?" Zhao Feng said.

"The river."

"This is the main stream of the river. When I followed the general to guard Weicheng in the past, the Wei River was just a tributary of the river." Zhang Han replied without thinking.

"Then where is this?" Zhao Feng smiled and pointed to the other end.

"Honggou."

"Although it is not as vast as the Great River, it is also a tributary of the Great River, and it is a tributary wider than the Wei River." Tu Sui replied immediately.

That's it.

The three generals raised their heads, opened their eyes wide, and were excited. They almost thought of the strategy of breaking the capital at the same time.

"Break the dike?"

"Flood Daliang?"

"Discharge the flood?"

All three generals understood the meaning and exclaimed.

"No matter how well he repaired the city walls, no matter how strong they were, facing the water of the Great River and the Honggou, can they still resist?"

"Facing the power of heaven and earth, no matter how strong the city is, it will become a ruin."

"Since Wei Wuji wants to drag my 300,000 elite soldiers from Wu'an Camp to accompany him to the Wei Kingdom, then I will use the power of the Great Lake of Heaven and Earth to flood Daliang, and our army will not waste a single soldier."

"And his Wei capital will become a Hongze." Zhao Feng said coldly.

"General, you are wise."

The three generals bowed to Zhao Feng without any hesitation.

This strategy.

It must be said to be a brilliant strategy.

Compared to letting his subordinates go to die in the attack, flooding Daliang with the water of the river is the best strategy. As for how many people will die in Wei after flooding Daliang, they don't care about it.

There is no room for mercy on the battlefield.

Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

This time, Wei State clearly wants to let hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Wu'an Camp be buried with them, so Zhao Feng will let them die.

This is fair.

"Tu Sui."

Zhao Feng said.

"I'm here." Tu Sui responded immediately.

"Lead your 100,000 troops, 50,000 troops to the river, and 50,000 troops to the Honggou, to dig canals and dig embankments."

"I will only give you one month. After one month, I will let the water of the two rivers overturn Daliang." Zhao Feng said coldly,

"I will obey your order." Tu Sui immediately obeyed the order.

"Li You." Zhao Feng said again.

"I will be here." Li You responded immediately.

"Mobilize your 80,000 troops to cut down trees and build as many boats as possible."

"In addition, there are 20,000 troops stationed outside Daliang City. Don't let Wei know our purpose. Just shoot arrows and harass them every day." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

"I obey your orders." Li You responded immediately.

"As for Zhang Han..."

Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Han.

"Please give your orders, General." Zhang Han said immediately.

"All cavalry disperse and relocate all the people in Weidu and the lower reaches of the river and Honggou."

"But."

"After the relocation, don't let them leave before flooding Daliang."

"Keep close surveillance and make arrangements after Daliang is overturned."

"At the same time, the cavalry is responsible for vigilance. If they find the Wei army, they will be killed." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

Although they are the people of Wei, they will be the people of Daqin in the future, and even more so the Chinese people.

If these casualties can be avoided, Zhao Feng will naturally try his best to avoid them.

"I obey your orders." Zhang Han responded immediately.

"Okay."

"Today's affairs, you can handle them on your own."

"I will stay in this military camp. If there is anything, you can send someone to report."

"This matter concerns the survival of 300,000 elite soldiers in my Wu'an camp. It cannot be lost. Go and arrange it." Zhao Feng waved his hand.

"I will obey your orders."

The three generals bowed and retreated one after another.

"My lord is wise."

"In this case."

"The defense arranged by Wei Wuji has become a joke."

"Facing the water of two big rivers, no matter how long he arranges it, no matter how strong his city walls are, they will eventually be washed away by the flood." Zhang Ming also said excitedly.

"The battlefield is ruthless, after all." Zhao Feng sighed.

"This is what Wei asked for." Zhang Ming replied with a smile.

"How is Yan Ting?" Zhao Feng asked.

"According to the lord's order, since the Qin invaded Wei, Yan Ting has been searching for young sons of suitable age among refugees everywhere. Now most of those of suitable age have been brought back to Yan Ting for training." Zhang Ming replied.

"Is the money earned by Jiuxianlou enough?" Zhao Feng asked again.

"Please rest assured, my lord."

"Everything is enough." Zhang Ming replied immediately.

"That's good."

"Let Yingbu and Han Xi search according to the situation, as long as there is enough money in Jiuxianlou." Zhao Feng said.

"Yes." Zhang Ming nodded respectfully.

Next.

Zhao Feng naturally didn't need to think about all this.

As long as the water from the excavation of the river and the Honggou is diverted, the Daliang city will be overturned.

Time passed!

Xianyang City!

"Report to the king."

"Hangu Camp is advancing rapidly now. Wei's western defense line can no longer resist. Within two months, it will surely attack Wei's capital." Wei Liao started to report.

"Report to the king."

"The allocation of food and supplies for the Hangu and Wu'an camps is safe and there is no shortage."

"But."

"This old minister has received the news from the allocation of food and supplies for the Wu'an camp."

"The Wu'an camp had already arrived at the Wei capital more than 20 days ago, but... but for such a long time, General Zhao Feng did not attack the Wei capital." Wang Wan hesitated, but pretended to have to say it.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Wang Jian, who stood at the head of the military officials, stood up directly.

Not long ago, he returned from the Lantian camp.

Wang Wan's words were full of innuendos, and how could Wang Jian bear it.

"What do you mean by that, Prime Minister Wang?"

"Do you want to say that Zhao Feng delayed the military operation?"

"Or is it that Zhao Feng was afraid of death and deliberately did not attack?"

Wang Jian said with a somewhat ironic tone.

"General, you are too kind."

"I just reported to the king, and I have no such intention."

"Now that the Wu'an camp has already attacked the capital of Wei, it is time to attack the city."

Wang Wan immediately replied with a smile.

"On the battlefield, the situation changes, Zhao Feng will have his own plans, so Prime Minister Wang will not worry about it." Wang Jian said coldly.

In his opinion.

This Wang Wan is just looking for trouble.

"General, what you said is very true."

"On the battlefield, the situation changes."

"Zhao Feng will have his own test."

"It took him less than three months to cross thousands of miles from the northern border of Wei to the capital of Wei."

"I wonder if there is any other capable general in the world who can do this?"

Ying Zheng's voice slowly rang in the hall.

This sentence.

Also made Wang Wan shut up immediately.

"Prime Minister Wang."

"Now you are responsible for the food and grass. Just manage the transportation of food and grass. Military affairs in the army are not your concern."

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan again, with a harsh tone in his voice.

Hearing this.

Wang Wan looked terrified and bowed hurriedly: "Old minister understands."

"Your Majesty."

"I have received the news."

"Wei's capital Daliang has been repaired by Wei Wuji for three years. The city walls are thickened and the city gates are sealed. It cannot be broken by human power. If you attack by force, it will only increase casualties."

"General Zhao Feng may be planning how to break the city." Wei Liao said loudly.

"According to what Wei Qing said, this city cannot be opened?" Ying Zheng frowned.

As for the situation in Weidu.

Ying Zheng knew something, but he didn't know much by visiting Weidu in person.

"From the surface, there is no other way except to attack with force and lose soldiers."

"But."

"General Zhao Feng has not attacked for a month, maybe he has found another way." Wei Liao said with a smile, his eyes were full of a bit of light, as if he guessed something.

Ying Zheng glanced at Wei Liao and seemed to understand.

"Dismiss the court."

With a wave of his hand.

Ying Zheng directly ordered the court to be dismissed.

In Zhangtai Palace.

"What do you think Zhao Feng is preparing for?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and asked.

"Please move to the back hall, Your Majesty." Wei Liao smiled.

After Ying Zheng returned to Zhangtai Palace, he had not yet taken a seat. When he heard Wei Liao's words, he immediately walked towards the back hall.

Back hall.

It was still the huge sand table map.

Zhao and Han no longer existed, and even many cities of Wei had already planted the Qin flag.

Whenever the battle report came, Ying Zheng would personally pull out the flag of Wei and plant the flag of Qin.

For Ying Zheng, watching the territory gradually becoming the territory of the Qin Dynasty on the sand table, he also felt a sense of grandeur and pride.

"Your Majesty."

"This map was made by our Qin Dynasty with a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Then Your Majesty, look at the location of Weidu from this map." Wei Liao smiled and pointed to the location of Weidu.

Ying Zheng's eyes swept across and fell on Weidu.

"Your Majesty, look at the river and the Honggou again." Wei Liao smiled.

Ying Zheng's eyes swept and settled immediately.

It was just a moment.

Ying Zheng understood.

"Use the water of the river and the Honggou to overturn Weidu."

"Under the power of Hongze, no matter how thick Wei Wuji's city wall is, it will not be able to resist."

"If Zhao Feng really does this, Daliang City will become a vast ocean."

"The 300,000 or 400,000 troops in Daliang City will no longer have the ability to fight."

"The Wu'an camp will be defeated without bloodshed." Ying Zheng smiled with some understanding.

"Now it depends on whether General Zhao Feng will adopt this flooding strategy."

"If he does."

"The three-year plan of Wei Wuji has become a joke." Wei Liao said with a smile.

"Wei Qing is worthy of being a disciple of Guiguzi."

"Such a strategy can be seen through at a glance."

"But."

"I think Zhao Feng may really adopt this strategy." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"From the current signs, General Zhao Feng did adopt this strategy. After all, General Zhao Feng cannot delay the attack for a month." Wei Liao also said with certainty.

"One month."

"With 300,000 troops to dig the river bank and build wooden boats, the time is indeed about right." Ying Zheng smiled.

"It seems that the future national commander of the Qin Dynasty is very likely to belong to General Zhao Feng."

"With the merit of destroying Wei this time, his position as general can be completely secured, and he will also make military achievements for the Jin State." Wei Liao said with a smile, and secretly looked at Ying Zheng's expression.

And Ying Zheng smiled without saying anything.

"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Ying Zheng smiled, with a deep meaning in his voice.
