Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 127 Big Liang City

Ziying naturally knows how to conquer Daliang City in a short period of time in history - "Drain the river and ditches to irrigate the Liangcheng."

The river naturally refers to the Yellow River, and the ditch refers to the Dagou water.The irony is that Dagoushui was excavated by King Wei Huicheng, and it was also one of the earliest canal projects in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

It was this big ditch dug by the first king of Wei that finally submerged the fortune of Wei.

In history, it was none other than Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian who besieged Daliang City with Ziying.

According to Ziying's memory, after Wang Ben besieged Daliang, he was helpless at first facing the high and deep gorges of the city. Until one day Wang Ben inspected the terrain and terrain around Daliang and found that the river and the ditch in the northwest of Daliang were not far away. The terrain is low, and this strategy was just now.

At this time, Wang Ben, facing the fortified city of Daliang, was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, thinking about it, but there was nothing he could do.

Ziying was only a teenager in his teens at this time, and to be fair, Wang Ben was a little uncomfortable to obey the orders of someone who was much younger than him.

However, Ziying surpassed the fledgling Wang Ben in terms of title and credit.

The two joined forces, and naturally Ziying took the initiative in military command.

On this day, Wang Ben came to Ziying's tent again in a hurry to discuss how to break the city.

As soon as he entered the camp, Wang Ben was immediately furious. In the past two days, he had racked his brains for a strategy to break the city. He was so worried that he couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep well.

Never thought that Chang'an Junziying was not only lying in the tent reading a book leisurely at this moment, but there was also a beautiful girl behind him beating his back.

The woman who beat Ziying's back was naturally Xue Ji brought by Ziying from Prince Dan's mansion, the military order came in a hurry before sending someone to Xianyang, so Ziying had to take her with her.

"I don't know that Mr. Chang'an still has such a good mood at such a moment. Wang Ben interrupted me, so I leave!" Even though Ziying is honored as Mr. Chang'an, Wang Ben didn't give Ziying much good looks at this moment, and he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing Wang Ben's angry expression, Ziying immediately understood that Wang Ben must have misunderstood him.It's not that Ziying insisted on hiding the strategy of breaking the city, but there must be a reason for telling it. He couldn't know the terrain and hydrology around Daliang like a prophet as soon as he arrived in Daliang.

Waiting for these two days is to find a reason for myself to know about this matter - I have used these two days to find out the terrain around Daliang.

Moreover, during the past two days, Ziying's subordinates did not do nothing in their deployment. Ziying sent out many cavalry to drive out the people on the grounds of finding out the terrain.

Once the river is dug, not only the city of Daliang will be submerged, but if the surrounding people do not evacuate, they will inevitably become fish and turtles.

Therefore, Ziying's order to the Qin army was to drive away the residents in the low-lying areas even if they demolished the houses and even set them on fire.

Ziying hurriedly got up, walked in front of Wang Ben and said, "General Wang, please go slowly, Ziying was rude, please don't blame the general."

Zi Yinggui apologized personally as Lord Chang'an, but no matter how angry Wang Ben was, he couldn't go straight away, so he immediately said: "Mr. Chang'an is so leisurely, could it be that he has a plan to break the city?"

"Well, I just figured it out." Ziying immediately agreed.

One sentence almost choked Wang Ben, originally it was just an angry remark, never thought that the rumored Lord Chang'an would brazenly say that there was a plan to break the city.

If Daliang, the capital of Wei, is so easy to break through, I don't have to be in such a hurry in the past two days.It can be seen that Zhao Ziying, the miraculous Chang'an Lord rumored by the outside world, is nothing more than a generation who has gained a false name.

"I don't know how His Royal Highness Chang'an wants to destroy the city?" Wang Ben asked immediately.

"Xue Ji brings the album drawn by Gu Gang," Ziying said while leading Wang Ben to the side of the desk, at this time Xue Ji also brought a roll of cloth and stretched it out on the desk.

The painting on the cloth was naturally a sketch of the hydrology and terrain around Daliang City. With a clear goal, the subordinates sent by Ziying did not take much effort to find out the topography and landforms around Daliang City. However, in view of Ziying's limited level, This topographical drawing is very "abstract", and it also contains some modern elements such as contour lines.

Not to mention Wang Ben, even if a modern person sees Ziying's sketches that he drew completely at will, it will be difficult for him to understand what Ziying wants to express.

"What did Mr. Chang'an paint?" Wang Ben asked puzzled.

"Please look, General Wang. This represents Daliang City. Twenty miles northwest of Daliang City is the river... Ziying followed the content drawn on the sketch and showed Wang Ben the topography and hydrology around Daliang City. out.

"What does Mr. Chang'an mean?" After listening to Ziying's description of the topography of the girder, Wang Ben's mind suddenly flashed. He felt that there should be precedents for such a situation, but it seemed that there was still a thin piece of paper blocking him. In front of his face, he couldn't remember in a hurry.

"Hasn't the general heard of the battle of Jinyang?" Ziying reminded.

In the previous battle of Jinyang, Zhao's Jinyang also had high walls and thick walls, and sufficient food and grass.The Zhi family, the Han family, and the Wei family were unable to attack for a long time. Later, the three families dug Jin water to irrigate Jinyang City. If Han Kangzi and Wei Huanzi hadn't turned against each other and attacked Zhibo together with Zhao Xiangzi, there would have been no subsequent division of the three families into Jin matter.

When Ziying said a word, Wang Ben immediately understood.The northwest of Daliang is the river and the ditch, and according to the topographic map drawn by Ziying, the terrain of Daliang is lower than these two water sources. It takes half a day for the beams to turn into a piece of Zeguo, so it can be self-defeating.

Moreover, it is not the first time to use water to attack the Qin State. When Bai Qi attacked Chu before, he dug up Yishui and diverted water to irrigate the city.

"Mr. Chang'an has a great opinion, and Wang Ben admires it. I hope that Mr. Chang'an will not blame you for his rude behavior before." Wang Ben cupped his hands and said to Ziying: "If you follow the strategy of Mr. Chang'an, this Daliang City may not be able to be taken down by Ben alone."

"The general is absurdly praised. With the general's talent, even if he has no son-in-law, he may have a good plan to break the city." Ziying said politely. Wang Ben is the first-class fierce man in the Qin army after Wang Jian. To gain more bargaining chips in the changing situation in the future, we must make good friends with the powerful people in the future.

"It's not too late. I'll send people to dig the river and ditches to irrigate the girders." Wang Ben is also a man of hard work, and he will send people to dig ditches and water to irrigate the city.

"Wait a minute, general." Ziying said, "Ziying has something to say, and I hope the general will think about it.

Although it is a quick solution to flood the city with water, once the rivers and lakes leak down, the people in Daliang City will become fish and shrimp, causing heavy casualties.

It should take two days to dig the canal and dig the embankment. Our army can send people to dig the ditches while spreading the message to Daliang City to force them to surrender.

If you don't surrender and then dig the dike, what will the general think? "
