Chapter 9: Destroying Wei
PS: The new jazz book has come out, so let's have time to cheer it on.->
It's the New Year, and other places are celebrating the biggest annual festival of the Chinese with lights, but the Qin troops in the abandoned city are in full swing preparing for the battle of Daliang.
In addition to the new round of tens of thousands of reinforcements, a large amount of food, arrows and other material aid continued to be transported into the abandoned city, and the materials in many parts of the city were piled up like a hill. Finally, within half a month, the Qin army completed the post-war rest and preparations for the expedition to Daliang.
On this day, in front of the general's tomb outside the city, in the midst of the towering trees, a slender young figure stood lonely in the fluttering snow, looking at a tomb in front of him stupidly! He didn't know how long he had been standing here, so much so that his whole body was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, and even his hair and eyebrows turned white, but the young man did not move as if he were unconscious.
A cold wind blew, and a snowflake flew up on the young body, and he suddenly leaned down, squatted on the ground, and touched the tombstone in front of him obsessively, and a line of turbid tears couldn't help but fly down his cheeks in the wind. The tombstone reads such a line of words: The tomb of the famous general of Wei Guozhongyi, the Marquis of the Abolished City, the general Wu Haoyue's father and son, and the Qin State Wu Anjun Fu Su Li!
This young man is Fusu, the Qin army is about to go to Daliang, and Fusu specially came alone to say goodbye to Zhao Tie. Because of this parting, if I want to see each other again in the future, I am afraid it will be far away.
Fusu gently brushed away the remaining snowflakes on the tombstone with his hands, gentle like a flower lover cherishing a beloved flower. Fusu suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother Tie, I am about to go to Daliang, another country is about to fall under the iron fist of the Qin army, and the pace of China's unification will also take another big step!" I'm so happy, how about you? In this life, you can't accompany me to fight, if you have a spirit in the sky, let us cross this splendid river and mountain together! ”
After speaking, Fusu leaned over and bowed a few times, looked at the tomb a few times stupidly, and suddenly turned his head and strode away against the wind and snow.
After a while, a fast horse galloped out of the forest and headed straight for the ruined city.
The next day, in late February 226 BC, more than 100,000 Qin troops set out from the ruined city and marched into Daliang.
Three days later, the Qin army camped under the city of Daliang and besieged Daliang to the point that it was impassable!
The Wei people in Daliang City were terrified, and they were shocked every day!
******
Weidu Liang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, which is the place where the Luoshui, Suishui, Suishui, Danshui and the chasm are gathered. The Wei people have successively dug two artificial moats of the big ditch and the beam ditch, and the regiments protect the big beam and become its natural barrier, making this great capital even easier to defend and difficult to attack, as stable as Mount Tai. Wei was located in the center of the Central Plains at that time, with Zhao in the north, Han and Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Chu in the south. It is the world's transportation pivot. If you want to attack the other five countries, it will be more difficult to conquer Wei first, and if you want to conquer Wei, then Daliang is a battleground, which shows the importance of the capital of Wei.
The day after arriving at Daliang City, Fusu led the generals to climb the heights to look at this great city.
I saw that this big beam city has thousands of weather, the city is connected, the surrounding moat is wide, it is an irregular rectangle, it bends with the terrain and the river, the south gate is positive, all the city gates have protruding gates and moats, which greatly enhances the defense of the city gate. On the whole: majestic and majestic, like a mighty tiger entrenched in the Central Plains!
Looking at this majestic city, Fusu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: in this ancient era, there were countless cities scattered across the vast land, each of which had built tall and solid walls and wide moats outside the city, and each city was a center of battle and a huge military facility. All the coquettishness of this era is carried out inside and outside such strongholds, centered on the destruction and defense of the city. The preservation or fall of a city is a sign of the fortune and success or failure of a country. This kind of battle for hegemony, which is mainly based on urban offensive and defensive warfare, is both simple and direct, and from a certain point of view, it really has its incomparably moving charm. For the monarch of the Warring States, it was like playing a game of chess, and if you were hooked, you couldn't stop, and you had to play chess with each other to see who ate whom in the end.
Within these closed walls, there are large and small political, economic, and military centers, which are the most important command centers of the surrounding land, and are also the symbol of the local regime.
Thus, as long as the Qin army conquered Daliang, it could declare the official end of the Wei State!
Fusu checked for a long time, didn't say anything, and rode back to the city. But his smiling and confident appearance couldn't help but make the generals secretly happy in their hearts: It seems that the king has a plan to break the beam!
Back in the camp, the generals were energetically ready to obey Fusu's dispatch and conquer the world-famous Xiongcheng of Daliang. Who knows, one day, two days, three days...... Half a month has passed, not only did Fusu not order the Qin army to make any siege preparations, but every day he either drank and had fun with Huofeng and others, or made the sergeants wrestle to get by.
The generals were very anxious when they saw this, and they could endure it for a few days, and after more than ten days, the generals couldn't bear it anymore and asked to see Fusu together.
It's easy to enter the tent, and the guards of the Chinese army didn't stop it at all, but after entering the tent, the generals couldn't help but be a little stunned: they saw Fusu and his subordinates' wolf teeth. The big and small generals of the broken army are drinking in the middle of the tent, and in the middle are two mighty and majestic warriors who are each holding wooden swords and competing in the banquet. The crowd was cheering loudly, and the atmosphere was lively.
Wang Ben was a little angry when he saw this: In the barracks, when he was fighting, how could the fourth brother be so nonsense! But Wang Ben didn't dare to make a mistake, made a military salute, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I haven't asked to see you if you have something!" ”
Fusu caught a glimpse of Wang Ben and the others, and said with a smile: "General Wang, General Li, you are all here, come here, show the generals a seat, and watch the sword competition together!" ”
Wang Ben was upright, a little quit, and said vigorously: "Your Majesty, my army has been stationed in Daliang City for more than half a month, and there has been no movement at all, neither planning to attack the city, nor making preparations. But the king only knows how to eat, drink and be merry, how to be worthy of the king's trust!? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the tent, and even the two warriors who were competing with swords stopped their swords, and the atmosphere in the field was a little strange for a while.
All the generals are thinking: This Wang Ben is so bold, he dares to reprimand the king in person, is he going to die!?
Fusu is in 'wolf's teeth. The prestige of the broken army is lofty, and the prestige is even higher under the victory of the battle, and the generals respect it like a god. For a moment, 'wolf's fangs. Seeing that Wang Ben was a little disrespectful, the general of the broken army immediately looked angry.
Suddenly, Qin Hu stood up and said angrily: "Wang Ben, you are so bold, have you made some military achievements, and there is no one in your eyes!" Dare to reprimand the king to your face, you can't find death! ”
Wang Ben was also angry, and said angrily: "I, Wang Ben, as a general, talk to the king, how can you and other humble generals intervene!" That burst of anger even turned a blind eye to Li Xin's frequent appearance!
'Wolffang. The generals of the broken army are anxious: since they entered the war, they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats and shocked the world, and they have long been extremely proud. Except for Fusu, no one can command them, let alone dare to scold them. For a while, they all stood up and glared at Wang Ben angrily, looking at them and beating them together!
Fusu couldn't help but slap the table suddenly, and with a loud "snap", the generals remembered that there was still a gentleman here, and they couldn't help but be quiet for a while. Fusu said angrily: "What is the noise, looking at you like this, you can't fight in a group!?" When I don't exist!? Shut up! ”
Fusu launched an anger, Wang was majestic and terrifying, and the generals couldn't help but be silent and silent.
Or 'wolf's fangs.' The generals reacted quickly, hulala knelt down and said: "If you are not guilty, please punish you!" Fusu was a little angry and said: "Punish a fart, give me up!" ”
The generals were stunned when they heard this: Although Fusu usually has strict military orders, he rarely scolds people in person, and when he really scolds, he is either extremely happy or angry. But now Fusu will definitely not be happy, for a time 'wolf teeth. The generals couldn't help but be a little elated and prepared to see how Fusu cleaned up Wang Ben! And Li Xin and other generals couldn't help but sweat for Wang Ben!
But seeing Fu Su's cold face, he looked at Wang Ben and the others: "Wang Ben, Li Xin, what do you mean by coming here?" ”
Wang Ben also regretted it in his heart at this time, although he had a very personal relationship with Fusu in private, but in public, the king had to be the king, and the minister had to be the minister. It's just that Shi Cai was angry for a while, and he actually forgot his sense of proportion, thinking of the admonition of his old father Wang Jian to 'serve the king carefully', and couldn't help but be a little frightened: "The king forgives the sin, and the minister is reckless for a while, and it is rude!" It is really caused by the anxiety caused by the fact that he did not wait for the king to garrison troops under the city of Liang and did not make any preparations for the siege! I wonder if you should do something to prepare! ”
Fusu said lightly: "You think, when will it be my turn to think!?" General Li Xinzhu saw that Fusu's tone was not good, and he couldn't help but immediately break out in a cold sweat.
Fusu continued: "Those who use soldiers are expensive in Qiye! What is strange is to make the enemy unthinkable, unclear, and even higher, that is, to make it difficult for the generals to figure out before they act! You and other generals, you just need to do your duty, how dare you speculate, how do you know that you are not prepared!? ”
Wang Ben, Li Xin and others were dumbfounded: Could it be that the king has been prepared, but he didn't see it. It's just that seeing that Fusu was in a bad mood and had a serious face, he didn't dare to contradict it, but he was speechless on the ground.
Fusu looked at the generals: "General Wang, General Li, the army has its own rules, don't forget your sense of proportion because you have a little military merit." I will not pursue this faux pas, but next time, I will not be forgiven. You wait for the time being, just wait for another month, and this monarch will only need seven days, and you can easily break through the beam! ”
Wang Ben saw that Fusu did not pursue it, but had already planned to break the city, and was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Thank you for the grace of not punishing, and you will not retire!" Soon, the generals will go clean, lest Fusu regret it!
Wang Ben and the others left, and Ying Qiang was a little puzzled: "If you have a clever plan to break the enemy, why don't you break through the beam as soon as possible, but wait another month?" "'Wolf Fang. The generals of the broken army are also suspicious!
Fusu smiled and said, "What's the weather like now?" Ying Qiang was stunned and said: "Heavy snow fluttering, rare in recent years, although it has stopped now, there is still light snow from time to time!" ”
Fusu said leisurely: "Yes, now winter has just passed, and spring has not yet arrived!" And my plan will not be carried out until spring! The generals were still confused when they heard this, but they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Fusu's gourd, but seeing that Fusu didn't say anything, the generals didn't dare to ask again, so as not to ask for their own hardship.
Since then, in the middle of January, Fusu still drinks and sings and drinks every day. Wang Ben and the others did not dare to persuade them, but just waited for the period of breaking the enemy as Fusu said.
At the same time, it was said that the Wei army spies in Daliang City constantly sent the news of the Qin camp to the city every day, and the news of the Qin army's main general Fusu was naturally the top priority. Originally, the king of Wei and the nobles saw the Qin army approaching the city, and they were panicked all day long, but when they saw that the commander of the Qin army, Wu Anjun Fusu, only knew how to drink and enjoy, and did not attack the city, they gradually calmed down for a while, thinking that the Qin army attacking Wei was just venting the anger in their hearts, and had no intention of destroying Wei.
The Wei people are so unprepared!
******
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of April, although the cold weather last winter is much better than usual, but it still can't stop the approach of spring. Although it was more than ten days late, spring still came to the earth with a warm smile. For a time, the earth recovered, the green grass quietly poked its head out from under the wet soil that had just thawed, the emerald green tender teeth also secretly appeared on the branches, and the birds also came back from the south, landing on the river with spring water and happily eating food, and the heaven and earth were intoxicating in spring.
Early in the morning, Fusu strode out of his tent and looked up at the sky: it was blue and blue, without a trace of clouds! Good weather, good weather!
Fusu was sighing, but Huofeng trotted out, holding a fur cloak in his hand, and said coquettishly: "Childe, it's cold outside, you better put on a cloak!" Fu Su smiled and shook his hand: "No, Sister Feng, do you think there is anyone in the army who wears a cloak again!?" Benjun is not so delicate! By the way, why do you keep calling me Gongzi, you should be called the king now! ”
Huo Feng blushed, and said a little shyly: "I'm used to calling my son, and I can't change my mouth in a hurry!" Fusu smiled and shook his head and said, "I've been defeated by you, forget it, you can call it whatever you want!" Huofeng nodded happily.
A master like Fusu who is so easy to talk to is quite rare in ancient times when men were inferior to women and the hierarchy was extremely strict, and even Momen also had a very strict concept of hierarchy. Therefore, since Wuxin, Huofeng and others came to Fusu's side, they were quickly impressed by Fusu's wisdom, modesty, heroism, and courage.
Suddenly, Fusu pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Come on, beat the drum and gather the generals, this gentleman is going to raise the account!" "Wow!"
"Knock knock knock ......" the low drum sound of the generals suddenly remembered, has not heard the drum of the generals of the Qin army for more than a month almost all lazy, although no one dares to sleep in the morning, but most people are not lazy around all day long, or hunting everywhere with a bow on horseback, at this time the generals have just gotten up early, suddenly heard the sound of the drums of the generals, all of them were stunned, but the generals quickly reacted, for a time in the barracks chickens and dogs jumped, the generals hurriedly armor, swords, such as flying to come. The danger was in the three-way drum, and all of them arrived. It seems that this army is really idle!
Fusu looked at the slightly untidy military appearance of the generals under the account, and said lightly: "Look at you, but after a few days of rest, the military appearance will be like this, tidy it up yourself, otherwise you will pull it down and beat thirty military sticks!" The generals were startled, and quickly checked the armor on their bodies, and after a period of scramble, the military appearance finally looked decent.
Fusu nodded and smiled: "Didn't you say that Benjun was not ready to break the city!" Let's go, Benjun will take you to see how Benjun breaks through Daliang City! When the generals heard this, they were overjoyed and followed Fusu out of the tent together.
Outside the tent, nearly a hundred fast horses were already prepared, neighing and roaring outside the tent. Fusu turned over and said to the generals: "Come with Benjun!" "Ride your horse and gallop away. The generals did not dare to wait slowly, they got on their horses one after another, and followed closely!
The cavalry group left the camp of the Qin army, all the way to the west, and after a while, the first Fusu longitudinal horse jumped onto a high ground, and the generals also followed closely and grabbed it one after another.
When the generals ascended the heights, they saw Fusu sitting upright on his horse, quietly looking down. The generals quietly drove their horses behind Fusu and waited quietly.
Fusu looked at it for a while, turned his head to look at the generals, pointed to the east, and said with a smile: "Look down, what do you see?" ”
The generals are looking into the distance, and they can see the city of Daliang from afar, with high-rise buildings lined up one after another, and every house is smoking in the morning, which is a prosperous and peaceful scene.
Li Xin was a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, this is Daliang City below!" Fusu nodded and said leisurely: "General Wang, General Li, what do you think is the main difficulty in capturing Daliang?" ”
"Your Majesty." Wang Ben responded: "The main reason is that the city of Daliang is too strong. In addition, more than 100,000 sieges of our army should be more than enough, but Daliang City is famous for its solidity, and the food in the city has been hoarded and abundant, and there has been a record of besieging the city for two years before and not being able to pull it out, so the troops are also slightly insufficient. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to break through the Great Liang City! ”
Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, it is enough for our army to besiege the city with hundreds of thousands of troops, but it is a little reluctant to break the city, but if it can't be captured in a short period of time, it is possible that the state of Chu will send troops to attack my flank." The people of Chu still remember that our army pulled out more than ten cities in Chu last year! ”
Fusu smiled and said: "General Wang, General Li, it is indeed very difficult to attack the Great Liang by strength. If the tyrannical division lasts for a long time, and is attacked by the troops sent by the Chu State again, I am afraid that there is no way to retreat! So it has to be taken by the scheme! This last sentence Fu Su specially accentuated his tone.
The generals were stunned when they heard this: Listening to this tone, it seems that the king has a plan! Wang Ben said hurriedly: "Jun Shang said that he took us to see the plan to break the beam, it seems that Jun Shang has already made a plan?" ”
Fusu smiled, pointed to the south and said to the generals: "Look, what is the south?" ”
Zhu Jiang is looking far away, under the highlands, the Yellow River, Luoshui, Suishui, Suishui, Danshui, the chasm of several large rivers gathered, the white waves are monstrous, the river is rolling, it is very spectacular!
Last winter, the Central Plains was snowed one after another, and the snow was two or three feet deep in many places! Now that spring has arrived, the snow has melted, and the water is abundant, but the river level is not high, but the riverbed is much wider than in previous springs.
Wang Ben suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "The king's intention, could it be that the embankment is broken and the city flooded!?" Fusu laughed loudly when he heard this.
In history, this strategy was originally sent by the general Wang Jian to pass it on to Wang Ben, but now that Fusu is here, how dare Wang Jian interfere in military affairs like this! If this is the case, is it not to leave the Su in a nowhere to be found? This is absolutely impossible for Wang Qian, who has always been cautious, so if you want to break the beam, you can only look at Fusu himself!
The generals laughed when they saw Fusu, obviously agreeing with Wang Ben's intention, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "What the king said is very good, if this is the case, the city of Liang can be broken in a few days!" ”
But Fusu suddenly sighed and said: "It's just that if the river embankment is broken, it will inevitably flood countless houses and fields, and this gentleman is a little heartbroken!" The generals were silent.
Suddenly, Li Xin said cautiously: "Your Majesty, everything is for the sake of victory, for the sake of the great righteousness of the world, I have to compromise this small righteousness!" ”
Fusu nodded, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated!
It can also be seen from this that Fusu's character at this time: usually benevolent, benevolent and humble, but when the real thing comes, in order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes! Such a character is very different from Fusu's previous life, but if you want to survive in this cruel and chaotic world and obtain the throne, such a character is a must!
******
On the same day, Fusu ordered the 30,000 Qin army to move the camp to a high place, and at night, he urgently ordered the Qin army of 100,000 to open a ditch and break the embankment overnight.
At dawn, the river embankment was dug through, and with a loud bang, the flooded river water poured into Daliang City on three sides like a white dragon. The sound of the torrent rushing was like a thousand armies and the earth was shattered, and the power made the heavens and the earth change color.
Everywhere the huge current passed, the fertile fields were washed away in an instant, the trees were uprooted, and the houses were immediately smashed into pieces. Although most of the people in Daliang City have fled due to the war, countless lives and property are still buried underwater.
Daliang City is not much better, the water in the flat land is too deep, the people are climbing on the roofs and waiting to be fed, and the water is still rising, hundreds of thousands of residents are instantly unable to cook. At this time, there was no more nobility and poverty, only one day's work, the whole city ran out of food, and all the stored grain was fed to fish and shrimp!
The next day, the king of Wei pretended to hold a royal meeting with tears in his eyes, and at this time, the only place in Daliang City that can maintain weekday food is probably only the palace: the terrain is high, and the pavilions and pavilions are also high, so there is still a place to store some grain and make a little cooking fire! However, the communication between the palaces depends on boats!
After an empty stomach for a day, the civil and military officers of the Wei State regained their spirits after devouring a full meal in the palace.
King Wei said with a fake expression: "Zhuqing, now that the food in Daliang City is cut off, the people have no place to live, they are already Jedi, and the widows want to surrender to the Qin army, what do you think?" ”
"The king, the minister is unwilling, really unwilling! There are still 50,000 elite soldiers in the city, and 30,000 grains are hoarded. A civil servant shouted.
"50,000 elite soldiers are standing on the roof, and the food has been fed to fish and shrimp for three years, and in a few days, I'm afraid the adults won't even be able to shout!" One of the generals scoffed.
When the courtiers heard this, they were silent: Thinking that their families were hungry on the roof, waiting to be fed, and they couldn't stand up for a while.
The king of Wei pretended to see that all the ministers were in despair, and choked up and ordered: "The widow is not virtuous, and the sin and the subjects are not good, and now there is only one way to go out of the city and surrender!" ”
The next day, the king of Wei sent an envoy to surrender. Fusu was overjoyed and gladly accepted the reduction. On the same day, he ordered the Qin army to block the breach and help the Wei people rescue and rescue the disaster!
At this point, the Wei State was officially destroyed, and the Qin State took all the Wei lands!
