Chapter 166: Topography

"Zhang Er's head was robbed?"

Zhao Tuo was quite surprised, he learned the news from the mouth of the five hundred lords stationed in Xiao Huang.

In the first battle of Waihuang, he beheaded Zhang Er. According to the custom, Zhang Er's head was sent to Huan Zhao to verify his identity, and then under Huan Zhao's instructions, he passed on the heads to the cities near Chenliu.

The purpose is to intimidate the Wei people and let them know that the famous Wei State celebrity and Waihuang Ling Zhang Er have been beheaded, and if they want to go against the Qin army, they must first weigh whether their heads are enough to be cut.

However, just last night, the pickled head of Zhang Er hanging on the head of the city was snatched by a group of rangers.

"The man's head had been hanging for days, and nothing happened. The subordinates didn't care too much, and those people were very cunning, so they first set fire to the nearby Lu and made noise, and led the guards over to put out the fire, so that they could take the opportunity to snatch the head."

The five hundred lords stationed here were still very angry when they said this. He sent his men to search everywhere, but found nothing, and Zhang Er's head had long been taken away from Xiao Huang.

"These guys are so bold. Dare to snatch the head under the nose of the five hundred Qin army, the leader must be bold and careful, and he also has a deep affection for Zhang Er, otherwise even if he is a light man, he will not take such a big risk. Could it be that he is a doorman who is loyal to Zhang Er?"

Zhao Tuo remembered the dozen or so light heroes he met on the way to Xiaohuang who were mixed with the migrating Wei people.

Especially a Confucian student with a burden inside, the person who is in his thirties looks like a talent.

"Confucian ...... Light Hero ...... Could it be him?"

Zhao Tuo had a guess, but then shook his head, it was useless to think about it at this time, the other party must have run away.

Now that the general trend of destroying Wei has been decided, a small light chivalrous Confucian on the other side, he can't make any waves, but he doesn't have to take it to heart.

However, this incident happened, and Zhao Tuo did not let the convoy enter Xiaohuangcheng just in case. Although there are still 500 defenders in the city, there are also many Wei people, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be bold light men who will do crazy things.

Zhao Tuo set up camp outside the city, let people patrol day and night, and the rangers were released for several miles, beware of Wei people approaching. With such caution, the night passed safely without any trouble, which made Zhao Tuo breathe a sigh of relief.

On the second day, nearly a thousand Qin troops set off again, starting from Xiao Huang and heading straight to Daliang.

The distance between Xiao Huang and Daliang was only a few dozen miles, and they hurried to hurry, and at dusk that day, their convoy finally arrived at the military camp outside Daliang City.

"My mother, there's so much water here!"

The black buttocks screamed in surprise, and all the soldiers around him were surprised, and the sounds of surprise were endless, even Shiruma, who had always been calm, was also wide-eyed at the moment, looking ahead in a daze.

As far as the eye can see, the original solid and glorious and majestic Central Plains giant city has now become an isolated island in the endless torrent.

The long torrent swept this place, the turbid river poured out from the chasm in the north, and from a distance it looked like a yellow python, winding in, strangling the city of Daliang with its body, tightening it step by step, until the day the city wall collapsed, it was the time when the Wei State was strangled to death.

"Although there is no siege battle, I am afraid that there has been an epidemic in this Daliang City for a long time, and I don't know how many people have died."

Zhao Tuo stood on the high ground and looked at Daliang City in the flood waves in the distance.

Now it is summer, the scorching sun is empty, the heat is unbearable, there are mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere, and the blistered city is the most prone to breeding diseases and diseases.

Zhao Tuo could even see that at the head of the big beam city, there were soldiers holding human-shaped objects and throwing them down the city, and they disappeared into the rolling waves in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the 200 young people who were escorted to the village also saw the Weidu Daliang soaked in the flood in the distance, and many people wept bitterly, and knelt on the ground on the spot and wailed in despair.

Many of them saw the girder for the first time and saw this majestic century-old Wei capital. But this is the first time they met, and what they saw was the scene where the girder was about to fall into destruction.

They wept, not knowing whether they were crying for their imminent slavery or for the imminent destruction of the girders.

Zhao Tuo also sighed, after the Daliang City was broken, it would be fearful here

I'm afraid it's going to be a barren place, and no one will settle here for at least a few years.

The majestic beam is about to die.

"The girder is so low-lying that once someone digs up the great river in the north, it will be flooded in an instant. With such a terrain, it can be described as a dead land, I really don't know how the King of Wei could build the capital here, wouldn't he be asking for his own death."

On his side, Shima said coldly, he had followed Zhao Tuo to learn the art of war during this time, and he already had a strategic vision, and he could see at a glance that there was a big problem with the topography of the beam.

Zhao Tuo nodded.

The land of the Great Liang can pass through Yan Zhao Hurong in the north, reach the Qidi seashore in the east, enter the Hangu to attack Qin in the west, and go down to the Jianghuai Linchu in the south. In its heyday, it extends in all directions, and the world is in the palm of your hand. When it came to decline, it was reduced to a place of four wars, and there was no danger to defend.

This was true not only of the Great Liang of Wei, but also of the dynasty of Bianjing in later generations.

When the country is in its heyday, it is natural to be able to hang the Quartet and enjoy the ultimate transportation convenience, but if the national strength declines, this national capital is the weakness of the whole country.

However, Zhao Tuo didn't come here to sigh for a long time, he urged the soldiers to send the escorted grain and two hundred young men to the barracks together.

The Qin army's large camp was built on high ground, far from the flood, and overlooking the city of Liang, so that if there was a change in the city, it could quickly send troops. However, judging from the water potential outside Daliang City, the people in the city may have no strength to break through, so they can only sit and wait in the city.

"It turned out to be Zhao Gongcheng, please hurry, please hurry."

After the name was reported, General Qin, who was in charge of the defense of the battalion, hurriedly surrendered his hand to Zhao Tuo to show his respect.

"Do you know my name?"

Zhao Tuo hurriedly returned the salute. This Qin general belongs to the division of Huaiyang, and he has no contact with him, but looking at Zhao Tuo, he showed a look of long-admired name, which made Zhao Tuo surprised.

The Qin general smiled and said: "Zhao Gong won a complete victory in the battle of Xingyang, beheaded the Wei generals, and captured the prince of Wei, we have heard of such achievements, and even General Wang said that if there is no Zhao Gongcheng, we are in danger of being stolen by the Wei people. If it weren't for the fact that Gong Cheng saw through the trick of the Wei general, he really let him succeed in a surprise attack on Xingyang and burned the military rations, I'm afraid we would all have to eat soil here for a living, hehe."

Zhao Tuo was even more surprised, Wang Ben actually praised him in the barracks?

But this is a good thing after all, Zhao Tuo hurriedly responded with a smile, and at the same time, with the cooperation of this Qin general, the food and prisoners were delivered.

More than 1,000 stone of grain, plus nearly 200 prisoners, as well as the heads that were cut off, after counting, the number was confirmed to be correct, and then the Qin general was included in the documents.

In this way, Zhao Tuo's task this time is completed.

The commander of the Qin army is in the camp.

Wang Ben also received the news that Zhao Tuo had entered the camp.

He looked at the slips presented by his subordinates, which recorded the amount of food and prisoners that Zhao Tuo had paid this time.

Wang Ben glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Although this son is young, he has no kindness of a woman, and this task has been completed well, and it can be useful."

As he spoke, Wang Ben picked up another silk book and looked at the information written on it.

He laughed, "This kid has some skills. Not only did Tu Sui like him, but Xianyang also let me experience him more. Well, after his merits in the Battle of Xingyang are issued, he will have the title of five doctors, and he is qualified to lead an army out independently."
