Chapter Eighty-Six: Gossip and Confucianism

The cool breeze of early autumn cannot take away the residual heat of midsummer, just as the bows and arrows of the Wei army cannot take away the lives of the Qin army, and the city walls cannot stop the cannonballs.

Meng Wu commanded the Qin army after a summer of hard work, and successfully besieged Daliang City, and the capital of Wei fell into the same situation as Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and even inferior to Korea.

When Xinzheng in South Korea was besieged, at least a few counties in the east were not captured by the Qin army, but only Daliang did not fall in the Wei State now.

The Qin army was divided into three routes, all the way from Sanchuan County along the Yingshui River, all the way to Daliang, all the way from Xinzheng, from east to west to attack the territory of Wei.

When the three-way army was encircled, all the Wei troops of Wei were concentrated in Daliang City, relying on this fortified city to resist.

In the Qin army camp, Meng Wu loaded the battle report in his hand and asked the soldiers to send it to Xianyang City to report the progress of the Qin army.

Meng Wu "summoned generals of the rank of lieutenant colonel and above to discuss combat matters. ”

"Yes."

The soldiers who served as the heralds on Meng Wu's side quickly walked towards the camp tent and informed the rest of the heralds in the camp of Meng Wu's military orders, and then many heralds in charge of this matter began to go to the various armies separately and began to convey orders.

Within half an hour, the last lieutenant arrived, and Meng Wu asked everyone to sit down after checking the numbers.

There were a total of 14 lieutenants in the barracks, three adjutant generals, plus Meng Wu and the recorders and supervisors around him.

The farthest lieutenant tent here is at the very edge of the barracks, responsible for the armies on the left and right flanks of the Qin barracks.

Mengwu "The terrain of Daliang City is uneven, it is difficult to arrange a large army, and the number of our army cannot become an advantage, but a disadvantage. ”

"Once the army attacks the city, the other side only needs to hold on to the city wall, forming a situation where one man is at a loss, and our army will pay a very tragic price."

Meng Wu: "Let's talk about it, what kind of release can be used to force the Wei army out of the city and stop here." ”

Meng Wu pointed to a relatively flat terrain outside the city of Daliang, where the advantages of the Qin army could be perfectly brought into play, and the Wei army could be attacked fiercely.

"General, the Wei army knows that it is invincible to our army, so naturally it is unwilling to leave the city and go out of the city to fight."

"That's right, general, in my opinion, since the Wei army wants to shrink into the city, then our army can directly smash the city."

The captain who fired the crossbow on the catapult bed said, "You don't know, the number of shells is less than a thousand, and it will take a month for the shells to be delivered from Xianyang at the earliest, so this month will have to be sent to another way." ”

Captain Greatbow: "Yes, there are also less than a thousand Burst Spears, which is not enough for us to breach this city. ”

Meng Wu: "Yes, this month's time can't just besiege and not attack, think about how to lure the Wei army out and destroy their military strength is the right way." ”

The barracks began to be noisy again, and everyone was talking about their own opinions, their own methods.

Xianyang City.

Gong Defeat led Yan Yan into the deepest part of the courtyard, and the people who could enter here were all specially ordered personnel.

"Taishi, according to what you said, after several years of experiments, there is already a material that can be stabilized and produced. ”

What is "Yan Yan". ”

"Stainless steel." ”

"After a variety of environmental tests, the material has been able to withstand moisture and water without rusting, and is lightweight and has the hardness of steel."

Yan Yan: "What about the rest of the materials?" ”

There has been no progress in "public defeat and revenge", and most of the numbers cannot be stabilized, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. ”

"Since we can do it, let's start popularizing it." ”

Gong Yi nodded his head, and then continued to walk towards the depths with Yan Yan, and the two came to the door of a room.

Gong Defeat pushed open the door and walked into the house with Yan Yan.

Gong Defeat took out a very tightly sealed box and presented it to Yan Yan.

"This is the latest brewed * medicine, which is ten times more powerful than the previous one, but there is a shortcoming, that is, it is not easy to explode. ”

Yan Yan lightly stained a little with his fingers, and then rubbed his fingertips, and as the speed between them increased, with a blazing sound, a blue light flashed through Yan Yan's fingertips.

Gong Yanqiu's eyes were shaken, and when he reacted, he hurriedly looked towards Yan Yan's fingertips, only to see that the position where Yan Yan's fingers were rubbing was already pitch black.

Gong Defeat's heart was turbulent, and he looked at Yan Yan's eyes wide, what kind of strength is this that can rely on the rapid rubbing of his fingers to ignite this * medicine that requires a special method to ignite.

Yan Yan felt the heat of his fingertips, the power of this thing was thirty percent stronger than what Gong Yi said in his mouth, that is to say, this thing was about thirteen times stronger than the * medicine used in the previous cannonball.

Yan Yan: "You said that he is not easy to ignite, what is the reason? ”

"Revenge" because it has a lot of elements that make it more powerful, and that thing doesn't have anything to do even if it is burned in a fire. ”

"Therefore, the * medicine is also endowed with the characteristics of that element, which is not easy to be detonated, if this problem cannot be solved, then this thing cannot be produced on a large scale, and can only be left here to eat ashes."

Yan Yan nodded, indeed, if it can't be used in large-scale production, for today's Qin State, it is a chicken rib, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.

"What does it take to detonate it?" ”

"If the temperature is higher than the flame, the earth fire can ignite it, but the earth fire cannot be used. ”

Yan Yan: "Take your time, the cannonballs and bursting spears are enough for the current Qin State." ”

Gong Defeat nodded and closed the box tightly and placed it on the shelf on one side.

Most of the products here have been researched but not able to be mass-produced, and they are all left here as gifts for those who come after them.

"How is the public welfare research of the big ship? ”

The drawings of "Public Defeat" have already appeared, and it will be possible to continue to improve after the first ship is launched to test the water. ”

Yan Yan: "The construction of the school palace has started, and your time is already free, so put more effort into this area." ”

"It's enough to stabilize the armament, and then focus on the ship and Yunlong to put more effort into it."

"As for the king's tomb, just slow down."

Gong Yi nodded, and then took Yan Yan to visit the compound guarded by the forbidden army of the Qin State, guarded by the flames, and contacted by the shadow guards.

Qi country.

Songhai Confucian Holy Land, Little Sage Village.

Xunzi looked at his junior brothers and senior brothers, and listened to them tell about the Xianyang Confucian Chunyu being killed and hung on the city, and the more he told about it, the more passionate and indignant he became.

Xunzi looked at these Confucian scholars who came here from all over the world and did not express any opinions.

As their conversation deepened, the Confucian disciples who came to listen to the lecture began to support one after another, putting Qin and Qin Taishi Yan Yan in a hostile position.

Starting from Xiaoshengxian Village, the land of Qilu Songhai began to circulate many rumors against the Qin State and Yanyan.

The news began to spread in all directions along the flow of people, and in the old land of South Korea on the border of Qi and Qin, the quicksand group had to hide the old place.

Han Fei looked at the information in his hand, and some plans began to appear in his mind, but they were all rejected one by one, and these plans could not be achieved in his opinion.

Yan Yan has a special position in the Qin State, and Ying Zheng has absolute control over the Qin State, so he will not listen to the slightest rumor and attack Yan Yan.

Not to mention that Yan Yan's strategy is not weaker than people, and even more unfathomable than imagined.

Han Fei: "Mo Crow, you send this letter to my teacher in Little Sage Village." ”

Mo Crow took the secret letter in Han Fei's hand and disappeared here in a blink of an eye.

The purple girl looked at the figure of the ink crow and did not continue, she looked at the red lotus and said, "The progress is good, let's take a good rest." ”

With that, he left the clearing and walked towards the room.

It has been half a year since the destruction of Korea, and most of the surviving ministers have fled to the land of Qilu for refuge, but the quicksand is still wandering back in Korea, looking for an opportunity.

Chu.

Bai Yifei led the defeated Han army across the territory of Chu and headed towards the land of Baiyue, going to the Baiyue ruins to find the treasure of Baiyue that could rise again.

Shou Chun.

Changping Jun also heard the rumors about the Qin State Taishi Yan Yan, and he summoned the farmer's smile Tian Meng and asked him to instruct all the disciples of the farmer's family to spread the news.

Yan Guo.

Yan Dan left Jicheng and went to various parts of the Yan Kingdom to begin recruiting disciples to join the Mo family and expand the Mo family's capabilities.

At the same time, the Mo family began to build a hidden city in the deep mountains and old forests of the land of Yan and Zhao, which was used to build armaments to strengthen the Yan Kingdom.

Zhao Guo.

Li Mu led the Zhao army to fight against the Qin army in Jinyang for a year, and did not break through the defense line of Jinyang City, Qicheng, and Langmeng City.

Zhao military camp tent.

Li Mu: "How is the progress of the Qin army against the Great Liang. ”

"General, the city has still not been broken, the Qin army has never organized a large-scale siege battle since the siege battle seven days ago, and it only sent troops to attack once a day before the army was collected."

Li Mu: "What did Handan say, did you agree with my suggestion and send troops to help Wei?" ”

"Back to the general, the king did not agree to the general's proposal, and even said that if the general continued to propose, then the general could go back."

When Li Mu heard this, his heart swelled up, a group of guys without foresight, didn't they know that once the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, Zhao Gao would be equally dangerous?

The state of Wei was close to the city of Handan, and once the Qin army attacked Zhao from Wei, Handan was within the range of the Zhao army's cannonballs.

At that time, where will the soldiers come to Handan to rescue, Wu'an and Xindu will once again fall into the hands of the Qin army, and Handan will face the end of the siege on three sides.

Li Mu looked at the Kanyu map, which clearly recorded everything, and saw that the symbols of those territories of Wei were replaced with the symbols of Qin.

Looking at the sign of the Qin army separated from Handan, in Li Mu's opinion, the Qin army's terrifying siege shells would destroy the gate city in a very fast time, and then enter Handan.

Xianyang.

Yan Yan looked at the information in his hand and watched, and after reading it, he threw it into the furnace and turned into ashes.

Concubine Yan looked at Yan Yan, "Your Excellency is so indifferent to this matter. ”

Yan Yan: "Confucianism is just this kind of means, I don't dare to come to kill me, teach me, and blame me first, but only dare to dirty me behind my back, mess with me, and destroy me." ”

"If I really refute it as Confucianism thinks, then Confucianism will expand the results of the battle according to the scriptures, and every word can become a sword stabbed in their mouths, so why bother to say more."

Concubine Yan looked at Yan Yan and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, as if it was a waste of time to say a word about this matter.

Concubine Yan: "Your Excellency, you are not afraid that someone above the Xianyang court will take advantage of this." ”

Yan Yan "In the current court, several important ministers were practical talents, and they did not have a deep connection with Confucianism. ”

"In terms of the people, the difference between Qin and other countries is that all policies are based on benevolence and righteousness for the people, so how much Confucianism says is just false in the eyes of Qin."

Yan Yan "The people of Qin State now live a better world than the world depicted by Confucianism, and if you want to lecture on the duties of monarchs and ministers in Qin State, the words of identity that have been destined by birth will be torn apart by the people who have enjoyed freedom." ”

Concubine Yan: "Your Excellency is playing a big game of chess, and this world is the opponent. ”

Yan Yan: "Lord Dongjun is elevated below. ”

"Everything I do is just to make the Qin State go further and more stable."

"In order to achieve this goal, the final policy naturally needs to be used as the cornerstone according to it, and we should think about whether the cornerstone will be as strong as it will be in a hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years, and a thousand years."

Yan Yan refilled the cup with tea, smelled the tea and said, "Then by the way, remove all the people or things that are blocking the road ahead, and if you can't move it, you can destroy it directly." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Yan raised his eyes and looked outside the pavilion and said, "Confucianism, it seems that it has chosen to become an obstacle on the way forward of the Qin State. ”

Concubine Yan "Do you need someone from the Yin and Yang family to do it?" ”

"The school palace built by Your Excellency has made the road to the future smoother for the Yin and Yang family, and the Yin and Yang family should be rewarded."

Yan Yan looked at Concubine Yan and nodded, "I have thanked Lord Dongjun in advance, and when I need it, I will send someone to the Yin and Yang family station to ask for help." ”

Concubine Yan nodded.

Time passed slowly, and the armament transported from Xianyang to Daliang arrived in Sanchuan County, which was still seven days away from Daliang.

Wei Zhuang looked at the heavily guarded Qin army, the carriage transporting armaments was not loaded with many goods, but the speed of movement was still very slow, and it was not as fast as transporting grain and grass.

[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

In the ranks of the Qin army, there are also giant trap beasts like cows and horses, and there are not many of them.

Wei Zhuang saw that the Qin army was marching with grain inside the body of the oxen, horses, and beasts, and did not use vehicles to transport it.

The speed of cattle and horses is not fast, but the grain and grass they can carry are as many as five wagons.

Wei Zhuang looked at Bai Feng behind him, and then left here lightly, Bai Feng took one last look at Qin Jun, and then followed and left.

Under the city of Daliang.

Meng Wu received the news that the armament was about to arrive, and knew that the destruction of Wei within this year would be enough to be completed.

Meng Wu ordered to send 13,000 cavalry troops to escort it, and there could be no accidents with this batch of armaments, otherwise it would be bad if the time was delayed.

Inside the Great Liang City.

The king of Wei knew that Wei was about to enter the footsteps of Korea, and he convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, whether to continue the fight or open the door to sacrifice the city and save his life.
