Wang Ben broke the power of the Ningling monarch and flooded the Wei capital, which frightened the Wei people in the surrounding cities.

In this case, Wang Ben left 40,000 soldiers to continue to besiege Daliang City to prevent the Wei army in the city from breaking through.

Sit and wait for the city to be broken, and the king will destroy the country.

At the same time, he also sent troops to capture the cities of Wei.

Among them, 10,000 Huaiyang divisions as the main force, along the southeast road, want to attack Yongqiu, attack Ningling, and finally capture the Great Song County that Wei Qi retreated.

In addition to the main force, there are also a few slightly partial divisions.

Huan Zhao's department is from Guanzhong, and he himself was a general under Wang Jian, plus his thousands of soldiers have been digging in the mud here for a while.

is reasonable, Wang Ben will not miss his credit.

Therefore, Huan Zhao received the order to capture a large city dozens of miles east of Daliang City.

……

Chenliu, located in the Central Plains, is the rush of the world, extending in all directions.

Its city has many accumulations, and it is an important city east of Daliang.

When Wang Ben led his army north from Huaiyang and quickly broke the main force of the Wei army, the entire Wei state had not yet recovered from the fierce offensive of the Qin army.

It wasn't until the Qin army surrounded Daliang, dug rivers and canals, and showed the state of destroying the country, that the army of King Qin from the eastern part of Wei was belated, and gathered in Chenliu to stop.

The leader of this group of Qin Wang Jun is the Wei clan, Gongzi Leopard.

"Childe, according to the scout's report, the Qin army is only thirty miles away from Chen Liu."

Wei Bao looked at the west with an expressionless face, where the beam was located, and it was also the place where his ancestors had been glorious for generations.

"How many soldiers are there in the city?"

Hearing this, the general showed a hint of hesitation and said, "Last night, another general left with his people, and now there are still 3,000 soldiers who are willing to guard the city with his son. If Chen Liuling is asked to recruit the men in the city, he can still get one or two thousand men, which is enough to repel this Qin army."

Hearing this, Wei Bao smiled coldly.

Repelling the Qin army?

His elder brother Ning Lingjun Wei led more than 10,000 Wei troops north, but was defeated by the Qin army in a battle.

Just with him, Wei Bao, plus a group of frightened soldiers in the city, he also wants to repel this Qin army of more than 5,000 people?

Are you kidding!

"Even if we repel this Qin army, what can we do, there are still tens of thousands of Wang Ben's troops behind it, if we send another army here, what chance do we still have?"

"Chen Liu, death too!"

"You quickly go and gather the soldiers, retreat east with me, and go east, with your back to Qi and Chu, or there may be a glimmer of life."

"Yui."

The Wei general received the order and was about to leave.

Wei Bao said again, "Wait."

"Childe?"

Wei Bao showed a ruthless look on his face, and said, "In this city, there are still tens of thousands of stones. We can't take it away, and we must not cheapen the Qin army, so you can take people to burn this grain and burn it clean, so that those dogs and Qin people can eat and lose."

General Wei couldn't bear to say, "Childe, this year's spring ploughing has just ended, and the common people don't have much savings in their families. If the grain in the warehouse is burned, those Qin troops will definitely rob the people in the city of food, and there are still tens of thousands of Wei people in this city, and I don't know how many people will starve to death at that time."

Wei Bao sneered, "You're wrong."

"Today, when I leave, the common people in the city here are no longer Wei people."

"What I burned is the food of the Qin people!"

The Wei general looked at the prince of Wei in front of him blankly, and finally arched his hand and said, "No."

……

"Ouch, there's a lot of smoke in this city. Before we arrived, those Wei people burned themselves."

In the midst of the marching army, Black-Hip rode along the side of the road, pointing to the city a few miles away, and couldn't help but scream.

When Zhao Tuo heard this shout, he looked at the sky-high black smoke in Chen Liucheng in the distance, and his face was expressionless.

He turned his head and saw that Shiruma was behind the rear hall of the military formation, not by his side.

So he asked the commander of the short soldier on the side, Xi Qigu, "Lone, do you know what this fire represents?"

Xi Qigu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Five hundred lords. Before our army arrived, fireworks burned in the city. Either the Wei people in the city fought each other and set fire to the houses, or someone deliberately set fire to them and create chaos."

Zhao Tuo nodded and didn't ask any more.

Xi Qigu is the only one of the three of his subordinates who has studied books and is educated, and he is better than Shima and Black Buttocks in terms of knowledge and conversation.

But after all, his talent is limited, and Xi Qigu helps Zhao Tuo deal with military management soldiers on weekdays, and it is okay to use as a secretary, but he has no qualifications as a general or strategist.

Not to mention the black buttocks, he has little knowledge, a vulgar personality, and it is difficult to take on a big job.

But I am born to be useful, the black buttocks are very loyal to Zhao Tuo, and he has a ruthless personality, if he is used as a cronie, it is very suitable to do some special things.

Only Shima has a calm temperament, is talented, and has the talent to be a general.

It's just that due to his background, Shima is still a little immature. However, Zhao Tuo has been using his free time to often discuss the art of war with him, and believes that after some training and polishing, Shima can become a general in charge in the future.

"Black Butt can be my confidant."

"The West beggars are lonely and Shima barely correspond to the cheap versions of Xiao He and Han Xin. Alas, it's a pity that there are no strategists under him, even if it's a second- or third-rate one."

Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart that he came from later generations, and naturally knew the importance of talents.

I also know that in this Qin and Han dynasties, there will be countless ministers and generals on the stage, and the stars are shining, and there are many strong men and warriors in them.

It's a pity that although he also has the heart to collect talents, due to his status, he can only be caught by three cats and two dogs now, and he can't get much on the stage.

"Chenliu is a big city in the Central Plains, and Wei is a famous talent delivery base, I don't know if there are talents in this city."

Zhao Tuo's eyes showed a hint of hope, he asked for the Eastern Crusade this time, and he did not have the idea of reserving talents in advance.

If there is an opportunity to dig into the corner of Liu Laosan, Zhao Tuo is still very happy.

"Five hundred lords, I may not be right what I just said, I don't know what is the reason for the fire in this city?"

At this time, Xi Qigu suddenly asked in a low voice.

Zhao Tuo was stunned, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Xi Qigu can ask questions with an open mind, which means that there is the possibility of growth.

He didn't hide it, stretched out his hand, and said, "I heard that Chenliu is the place where Wei Dong stores grain, and the counties in the eastern part of Wei will transport a batch of grain here every year after the autumn harvest and store it for military use. If the guess is correct, I am afraid that the Wei army in the city is burning grain, and they will abandon the city and flee."

This truth is not only understood by Zhao Tuo.

Junhou Huan Zhao was also a battlefield general, so he naturally knew that one of the purposes of Wang Ben to send him to capture this city was to capture the mountains of corn in the city, and feed back the Qin army besieging Daliang, because of the food to the enemy.

Now seeing the thick smoke billowing in the city, Huan Zhao was suddenly shocked.

"Quick!"

"Rush!"

"Give me a quick pick!"
