In the evening of the next day, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Heifu and others escorted the real grain and arrived at the east camp of the Qin army on the other side of the chasm.

When they left this place in February and marched eastward with their division, Daliang was still an impregnable city, seemingly impregnable.

But now, as far as the eye can see, the whole city is soaked in turbid water. The chasm used to be the lifeline that the beam was proud of, but now, it is like a yellow hemp rope, wrapped around the neck of the beam.

The 100,000 Qin soldiers and prisoners were swarthy hands pulling knots, they dug the mouth of the river, let the river water rush into the chasm, and they built a stone embankment, dug a long canal, and skillfully diverted the surging floods, either blocking or directing, to the city of Daliang.

They were the biggest contributors to this war, using hoes and shovels as weapons, slowly but resolutely, tightening the throat of Daliang Cheng little by little, choking the breath of Wei......

Chen Ping looked at this scene with a complicated expression, not knowing whether he should be happy or worried, and he didn't come back to his senses until Heifu asked him if he had been to Daliang before.

"I've never been to the girder."

Chen Ping looked at the black spots at the head of Daliang City, and said with a smile: "My family is poor, and I have run out of money and food for my study tour in neighboring counties, how can I have the opportunity to come to see the grand scenery of Liangcheng?" ”

Although he has been there, Chen Ping has heard of the magnificent palace buildings, prosperous market streets and alleys, and the luxurious drinking and banquets that go on all night in Daliang City.

It's just that now it seems that his impression of Daliang City can only stay in "hearing about it".

After this battle, the beam, which was flooded for almost three months, may become a wasteland. Not only were the fertile land, houses, and streets destroyed, but even people didn't know how many people were left. In April and May, the humidity and heat are the most likely breeding ground for diseases, and at this moment in the city, I am afraid that the epidemic is already prevalent.

The black spots that stood at the head of the city were the corpse throwers, and the corpses were constantly thrown off the high walls, swept into the raging flood, and disappeared quickly.

As a Wei person, it has to be said that it is a pity to not be able to see the prosperity of Liangcheng, seeing that this city is in danger, Chen Ping also has a sense of hurt and the like.

Heifu, who is not from Wei, also sighed on the side.

"When I was in the barracks, I heard Yang say that Bai Gui, the prime minister of the Wei Hui Kingdom, was a smart tycoon, and he helped the King of Wei choose the capital of the country in Daliang, and also managed the river, built dikes, and dug chasms, but why didn't he think that one day, all this would be used by others and become a weapon to destroy Daliang?"

Chen Ping continued: "Although Bai Gui is known as Fubi Tao Zhu, his strategy of governing the country cannot be compared with Tao Zhu Gong, Bai Gui's eyes can see things within ten years, but he can't see a hundred years later. He could see the benefits brought by the great beams extending in all directions and reaching the radiation, but he could not see that after the decline of the national strength of the Wei State, there was no disadvantage of famous mountains and rivers here, and he did not expect the crisis of becoming a place of four wars. ”

The black man's head and no danger to defend are the biggest weakness of the girder. The Qin army attacked Wei seven times, five into Liang, Liangcheng seemed to have become the *** of Wei, and the king of Qin sent people to pinch it every three or five times, so that the king of Wei could only beg for mercy.

Later dynasties with Liangdi and Kaifeng as their capitals must face this dilemma, and it is good to open up to the Quartet, once they fall into the defense, this national capital will become a burden. Not to mention that it is still a natural low-lying area, and the nearby water conservancy project can turn into a flood that backs the city at any time.

As he spoke, the barracks in front of him had already checked the runes, and the gate made of wood was opened, allowing Heifu and his party to enter.

……

The Qin army camp was divided into east, west, north and south, with 10,000 Qin troops stationed in each, plus 20,000 prisoners. Dongying's defense is particularly tight, because this is still a place to hoard grain and grass, Heifu just entered the camp, and saw that there are dozens of high-pitched earthen granaries across a few camps, which are all built by Wei soldiers, each granary can probably hold a thousand stones of grain, look like that, General Wang Ben is indeed planning to loot tens of thousands of stone grain from the newly occupied Wei land......

In addition, Heifu also heard that near the Dahe Wharf in the northeast of Xingyang, a new permanent granary is also being built, called Ao Cang, where grain can be hoarded from Hanoi, Hedong, Henan, and Guanzhong, and it is also a large warehouse that can accumulate 100,000 millet.

Heifu observed that the Qin people in the camp were all red-faced, and there was no shortage of food, and he urged the counties and townships to send grain, mainly to take precautions, and I have to say that the logistics work of the Qin army was really excellent.

The 2,000 stone of grain they brought with them was brought into the warehouse with the help of the soldiers and prisoners under the supervision of a grain officer. Before entering the warehouse, he had to measure it, and the grain officer would check it every once in a while, look at the old millet with good color, and nod slightly.

"The grain transported from Humu Township is good, unlike the grain sent by Xiaohuang Township yesterday, most of it is inferior grain, and a lot of it is mixed with sand and soil to make up the number, and it has been severely punished by the school captain's order!"

Heifu couldn't help but secretly speak, thanks to Chen Ping's grain loan strategy, the grain transported from the Zhang family's granary was of course better than the one from all the households, and he didn't have to make up the strategy and take the risk in order to make up the number.

When the grain officer had checked that everything was correct, the black man gave him his hand and asked him about the Lord of Nasu.

"That's what happened."

Because Heifu did his errand beautifully, he saved a lot of trouble from the grain officer, and he was willing to answer Heifu with a pleasant face.

"It just so happens that the king's edict just arrived yesterday."

The grain official said: "According to the old practice, Wei Di surrendered to the counties and townships, and those who were willing to sacrifice a thousand stones of grain will be given a knighthood. ”

After saying that, he smiled and said: "Anyway, in the counties of Weidi, almost everyone is a soldier, and at most they are given a first-class knight, and they are only promoted to a knighthood once, and the title they get cannot be higher than that. ”

This strategy was offered by Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju during the Battle of Changping that year, and then it became a good method that was tried and tested, and every time there was a famine year and war, it helped the Qin government reduce a lot of food burden.

Hearing that the Nasu order had indeed been issued, Heifu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the matter of Zhang Er's wife and son made him and Zhang Bo turn their faces. Fortunately, Xizhang Zhangying still knew what was wrong, and said a lot of words of thanks to Heifu. Now, if he can help the Zhang family get a knighthood and go back, it is not a deception to them.

Heifu immediately offered a thousand stones to the Zhang family of Humu Township, hoping to inform the grain officer about the creation of a knighthood, and the grain officer wrote it down, saying that the matter should be reported to General Pi, who was in charge of the money and grain of the whole army in the Dongda Battalion.

At this point, Heifu's mission on this trip is completed, and as for the credit they have made in Waihuang, their boss Yang Xiong has to repay him for it. In the Qin army, there is basically no situation of overstepping the level of reporting, so no matter what position you do, you have to have a good relationship with your top boss......

Yang Xiong has already greeted Heifu, although it is a hurdle to never be promoted to doctor, but Heifu not only beheaded Yingyan this time, but also exterminated the "remnants of the Wei army", killed Zhou Shi, and captured the son of the wanted criminal Zhang Er. Therefore, he stepped into the "doctor" class, and he was basically steady.

"The title of doctor and above will not be under the control of the county and county, and it must be approved by Xianyang, but by June at the latest, you will be able to be promoted, as for the money and silk rewards on those wanted warrants, I will send someone to send the head and Zhang Ao to the camp with you, explain the situation, maybe you can get it the next day!"

Early the next morning, he was summoned by the military judge and a lieutenant of the Eastern Battalion to ask him about the capture of Zhang Ao and the design of the booby trap of Zhou Shi.

The question and answer went well, and the military judge told him to wait until early afternoon, and then he would send someone to take them to collect the bounty. Zhou's head would be transmitted to the counties of Wei to deter those who resisted, and as for Zhang Ao, he was put into the camp crying and crying, and his fate was unknown.

After the end of the inquiry, Heifu opened the tent and came out, now that the official business was over, he suddenly felt relaxed, and then thought that he could be promoted soon, for a while, he was still a little reluctant to "not change" the good title......

Just as Hefu was returning to the camp to join his men and prepare to leave for the afternoon, they heard a faint exclamation on the shore of the chasm.

"Liangcheng is about to collapse!"

……

"Liangcheng is about to collapse!"

There was a shout from the shore, which attracted everyone's attention.

Then, these sounds were drowned out by the louder crashing sound.

"Boom!"

Hefu heard what appeared to be a boulder entering the water in the distance, making a loud noise.

Heifu and the others hurriedly looked back, but saw that surrounded by turbid water, the angle between the north and east walls of Liangcheng was like a melting and peeling iceberg, collapsing!

After more than two months of soaking in the river impact, the thick city wall that looked indestructible finally could not be supported, and the rammed earth at the bottom had been soaked by the flood so that it was extremely fragile, and it could not bear the weight of the high wall three times its length, so the entire wall peeled off and collapsed from the bottom up......

The collapse of the northeast corner of the girder triggered a follow-up effect, and the flood, which had not been able to find a breakthrough, poured into it violently from the gap, rolling up turbid waves and flooding the houses and people inside.

Although there are many black spots at the head of Daliang City trying to throw earth, stone and wood to plug the gap, this is no longer something that can be saved by manpower. Immediately, like a fallen domino, the east and west walls of the girder also collapsed one after another! The Wei people above didn't even have time to exclaim, and disappeared along with the wall......

The solid beam suddenly appeared a huge gap!

It seemed to be a samurai's rhinoceros armor, and a tragic hole was torn open, revealing the flesh and skin that had no protection inside.

Heifu's subordinates, Ji Ying, Dongmen Leopard, etc., all watched this scene in amazement, this is a spectacular spectacle that they have rarely seen in their lives, enough to brag to their children and grandchildren for a lifetime.

In the Qin camp all around, more than 100,000 people were also watching this scene, which was their masterpiece day and night for more than two months.

With the collapse of one corner of the girder, different sounds sounded inside and outside the city.

"Haotian is not favorable, and this is a big deal!"

Inside the city, it was the desperate cry of the princes and grandsons of Wei and the common people, the high wall was breached, and their last shelter was gone.

"Wan Sheng, the king! Qin State Wansheng! ”

Outside the city, there are thousands of troops shouting victorious! They are raising their hands in high hands and cheering for victory, hailing the end of this war!

Only Heifu watched this scene quietly, he knew that this was the first time he witnessed the destruction of the city, but it was by no means the last.

And Chen Ping, the first time he saw the beam, he was about to witness it fall into destruction, Chen Ping, a Wei man who seemed to have faint tears in his eyes, but finally forced himself to restrain himself and turned into a long sigh.

"Liang City has collapsed, Wei State, dead!"
