Meng Yi discovered that in the process of Zhao Cong replacing Li Mu, Zhao Cong had been assassinated. Presumably it was the attempt of the "Dragon Slayer" to change the course of history. But there were many brave and clever people accompanying Zhao Cong, so the "Dragon Slayer" did not succeed.

Meng Yi found that in the process of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, someone had secretly assisted Jing Ke in assassinating King Yingzheng of Qin, but Yingzheng's life should not be extinguished, and he was saved by the imperial medicine box.

Meng Yi discovered that during the killing of Yan Dan, the prince of Yan Kingdom, there was even a mysterious person who rescued Yan Dan. It's a pity that Yan Dan is destined to die a tragic death, and the mysterious person is not unknown.

At this time, the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom were still breathing, which was actually equivalent to being wiped out.

It was time for Qin to attack Wei. The capital of Wei was Daliang, which was right on the edge of the Yellow River. In history, it basically didn't take much effort for Qin to destroy Wei, and poured the water of the Yellow River into Daliang City, which was self-defeating. The state of Wei was thus destroyed. In fact, Wei was the most wronged when it was destroyed, because Wei had the most talents, but it was all because the master was mediocre and drove the talents to other countries, such as Wu Qi, Shang Ying, Fan Ju, Sun Bin, Zhang Yi, Xin Lingjun and others, that one was not the talent of Wei. It's a pity that these people were either not reused by the Wei state, or they were lost to other countries. It was because the people of Wei arrived in Qin that Qin became strong.

Although Wei also experienced the most powerful period in the early Warring States period, it possessed the vast areas of Hedong, Hexi, Hanoi, and Hewai, and the mountains and rivers within the territory were vertical and horizontal, and the situation was dangerous, but because it blocked the throat of Qindong's Hangu, it was Qin's primary opponent for many years, especially since King Wei Hui, it was constantly defeated by Qin, and its territory gradually shrank. In the early years of Qin Shi Huang, in the late period of King Wei Anli, the state was even weaker. However, Xinling Jun stole talismans to save Zhao, especially united with the vassal states to resist Qin, and achieved a great victory outside the river, which greatly increased the prestige of Wei, and should have taken advantage of the victory to restore the territory of Wei, but King Anli was incompetent, not only did not take the opportunity to restore the country, but listened to the Qin State to stir up discord, deposed Xinling Jun, and lost the precious opportunity to make a comeback.

After Zhao was destroyed by Qin, Qin wanted to go south to destroy Chu, but there was still a Wei state in the middle, although Wei had only some cities left near the national capital Daliang at this time, but it was finally an obstacle for Qin to march into Chu, so it was decided to destroy Wei first, and then attack Chu. Originally, Wei was at the "pivot of the world" and had a superior strategic situation, but due to frequent wars, Wei's strength was greatly weakened. Over the years, under the attack of Qiang Qin, it was defeated and retreated, and constantly ceded land for peace, and the territory north of the Great River of Wei was swallowed up.

In 225 BC, the king of Qin sent Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, to attack the state of Chu and defeated the Chu soldiers. Then Wang Ben's army quickly went north and attacked Daliang, the capital of Wei, and Wang Ben, the commander of the Qin army, thought that the city of Daliang was strong and difficult to attack in a short period of time, so he led the Yellow River and Dagou water to irrigate Daliang City.

The Great Tent of the Qin Army.

"Ben'er, memorize the combat chapter of "The Art of War" quickly." Wang Jian shouted.

Wang Li was a spirit, and immediately recited with his hands behind his back: "Sun Tzu said, where the method of war, galloping thousands of cars, leather cars thousands of times, with 100,000 armor, thousands of miles of food, then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, the cost of thousands of gold, and then the 100,000 teachers will be raised......"

"It also wins in battle, but if it is blunt for a long time, it will be defeated, if it is sieged, it will be bent, and if it is a long-term violent division, it will be insufficient for the country......"

It wasn't until he memorized it that he suddenly realized and said excitedly, "Father, I understand!" The meaning of the eldest father is that if there is no Zheng Guo Canal dug by Mr. Zheng Guo a few years ago, so that Guanzhong is fertile, there is no fierce year, the Qin State can be rich and strong, and the grain warehouse can be full, there will not be enough food to be sent to the front line to support him to win these two battles that have lasted for many years! Right! ”

Wang Ben nodded, pointed to the layers of camp tents outside, and said to the more than 100,000 people who were busy living during the period: "Why is this not the case in this big battle with me as the boss?" ”

In Wang Ben's view, in this war, there is only one factor left to determine the outcome of the war, that is, food.

According to those who surrendered, Wei Xiang, the king of Wei, seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and there was no shortage of grain in Daliang City for three years. Save a little, so that the whole city can eat for three years. Therefore, although the city is flooded, the king of Wei is still struggling, and the only hope of Wei is that the Qin army outside the city is short of food and grass, and it can no longer be surrounded......

Although this hope is slim, it is not impossible, as the main general, Wang Ben knows very well that although after the construction of Zhengguo Canal, Guanzhong is almost prosperous every year. However, in the past three years, there have been too many soldiers, and the battles have been fought too far and too far, and even the grain in the fertile fields of Guanzhong is somewhat difficult to supply.

"It's all to blame on Yan Dan, the prince of Yan Yan Kingdom." Wang Ben inherited his father's "stability", and was a general who liked to make moves step by step, and did not like his plans to be disrupted.

"If there was no assassination by Jing Ke, Wei should have been destroyed first, and then Tuyan should have been slowly taught. As a result, the order was completely changed, and my father fought against Yan, because the Yan realm was too far away, it was no longer enough to transport grain from Guanzhong, and after half a year, he almost exhausted the grain stocks of Hedong, Hanoi, and Dong County, and many of them died of cold and starvation. Not long after Zhao Di was attached, he was uneasy and could not collect too much food, and at this juncture, Xinzheng in Yingchuan County also rebelled. ”

"Therefore, by the time of the battle of Wei that I presided over, I could only rely on the grain supply of Nanyang and Sanchuan, and more than 100,000 troops and soldiers ate horses and chewed horses, and after two months, there was not much left." Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, sighed.

The grain in Guanzhong is still being shipped out in a steady stream, but Wu Sunzi's words are good, "The poverty of the country is far from the teacher, and the people are poor if they are far away." Guanzhong is really far away from the beam, three stones of rice are delivered, and there may only be one stone left to eat, and the final result is: "The people's expenses are seven out of ten; public expenses, broken cars and horses".

Qin Guo can't exhaust the old foundation in this battle, in Wang Ben's eyes, his so-called main general is actually just a vanguard army. The destruction of Wei is just a small dish before the meal, and the real huge feast is still to come.

Chu State, the fat bear's paws that must be cooked slowly before they can be eaten have to be finished by his father Wang Jian himself......

Wei Wushu, is a professional soldier founded by Wu Qi, is the most elite and fierce representative of the heavy infantry in the Warring States Period, more than 100 years ago, once in Hexi set a record of one enemy ten, defeated the Qin army. After that, Qin Xiaogong shamed Qin's weakness and supported Shang Ying's reform.

As a professional soldier recruited by the state from the field and from the house, the number of military soldiers cannot be too much, and there were only 50,000 people during the heyday of King Wei Hui. After that, Wei fell into the attack of Qi and Qin, and its national strength gradually declined, and the military soldiers gradually withered, and the number became smaller and smaller. In the Battle of Yique and the Battle of Huayang, almost all the troops were wiped out, and although some of them were regained, they could only maintain the number of a few thousand men.

With the passage of time, the quality of the warriors also changed. From the recruitment of fresh blood, to the generation of soldiers, because the Wei State gave the military soldiers are generally not recovered, but also give tax exemption benefits, so many families can not be raised in vain. Therefore, when all the soldiers of the previous generation died in battle, Wei Guosuo asked the young and strong children of each family to inherit their father's business and continue to be military pawns, so that the country would not have to produce another farmland......

Inside the Great Liang City.

Daliang City is ten feet high, and the wind is really strong, blowing Tang Ju's pale beard.

He squinted into the distance, and after looking at the west, north, and east for a long time, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is this still the suburbs of Daliang?" It's only been half a month, and it's completely unrecognizable. ”

On the northwest side of the Great Liang, there was once a royal palace encircled by King Wei Anli: Liang Yuan. The architecture is quite elegant, with lush flowers and trees, elk, pine cranes roosting under trees, and boating in ponds.

Today, Liang Yu has been unrecognizable, the trees have been cut down by the Qin, and the garden full of rare trees is only an ugly clearing full of tree stumps. The roe deer hunted by the king of the Wei Dynasty probably became a delicacy of the Qin army long ago.

The entire field of vision was filled with the camp tents of the Qin army and the black-headed Qin soldiers, and the siege equipment was concentrated in the west, throwing stones at the head of the city from time to time, and smoke arrows came to make the city unsafe.

There is also the chasm that goes around the city from the northeast, and since the king of Wei Hui ordered Bai Gui to dig this canal, it has become the main artery of the Central Plains, connecting the Liang, Song, Chen, and Cai regions. Every day, countless ships depart from Daliang to transport the mulberry and linen cloth of Wei to the south; The fish salt leather, rhino horn, and cinnamon spices brought back to Chudi were sold at a high price in the Daliang market.

But now, the chasm is extinct, only the boats full of food and ordnance of the Qin army remain, thousands of naked slender men are pulling wooden boats, and even the trumpets they shout are unfamiliar Guanzhong accents.

What worries Tang Ju the most is the north, where a large turbid yellow river stretches across the surface and flows slowly eastward.

The river is unruly, in the Warring States Zhao Wei Qi three kingdoms are enemies of each other, beggar-thy-neighbor, natural disasters plus **, it is more and more flooded. Fortunately, Wei built an earthen wall by the river that was dozens of miles long, which prevented the flood from hitting the low-lying Liangdi. Over the past few decades, countless families have slowly gathered between the city and the river, opened up endless fertile farmland, and built a cluster of houses......

And now, those fertile fields that should be busy plowing and planting millet and wheat seedlings are empty, and there is not even a sparrow. The people were scattered, but there were countless Qin Qian's first soldiers, armed with shovels and hoes, under the spur of the Qin officials, they lined up in a long line, along Qianmo, to the north of the beam.

Seeing this, Tang Ju held the battlement's hand and trembled slightly, he knew very well where those Qin people were going and what they were going to do!

The Qin army is going to Xingyang!

Decades ago, it was Tang Ju's youth, and it was also the era when Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, and Su Qin were in a series of vertical and horizontal formations, and the state of Qin was bī) forced the state of Wei to join Lianheng, sent Zhang Yi to Daliang, and said such a threat:

"Breaking the mouth, Wei has no beams; The mouth of the white horse, Wei Wuwaihuang, Jiyang; The mouth of the decisive Xu, Wei Wuxu, Dunqiu. A land attack will hit Hanoi, and a water attack will destroy the beams! ”

However, the Qin army attacked Wei more than ten times and besieged Daliang, but because the lone army was deep and could not fully occupy Wei, there was no chance to fulfill this threat.

Until now, is the nightmare of Wei finally coming?

In Tang Ju's view, this is all the evil result of the Wei State bribing Qin with land in the past 20 years, and the dangerous roads have been encroached upon.

It seems that this time, unlike the more than ten small fights before, King Qin is determined to capture Daliang and destroy the Wei State!

Even if "God's ......" is as calm and spicy as Tang Ju, after foreseeing the tragic future of this country, he can't be indifferent.

He looked up at the cloudless sky, and sighed in a low voice: "If the prince of Xinling is still here, can Qin Jun'an send a letter to Guguan?" If the prince of Xinling was still alive, how could Wei State fall into such a situation? ”
