When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 622 Wang Jian’s strategy to destroy Wei!
In the end, after some negotiations, Cheng Xi chose to agree with Cai Wu's words and put all the blame for disobeying military orders and attacking the Qin army on Yan Yi, the general of Yan State.

Then the Qin State agreed to a truce with the Yan State, and the Qin State released the 60,000 captives of the Yan army. The Yan State compensated the Qin State for this loss in the form of iron ore, grain, war horses, etc. After the war, the two sides continued to use the Yishui River as their boundaries, do not interfere with each other.

All this is jaw-dropping.

The war started suddenly, but ended within two days with the Yan army's 150,000 troops being almost wiped out, and a peace was reached within one day after the war.

In other words, it took less than three days from the active sneak attack to start the war to the negotiation of peace. This battle was really inexplicable.

When the news of the Xinzheng Rebellion and Qin's victory over the Yan army spread, Ying Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In just half a month, most of the problems that troubled him were solved.

First, the Xinzheng rebellion was quickly put down, and then the Qin-Yan border.

Although the Yan State was useless in war, its control of fighter planes was absolutely top-notch. Since King Yan Xi came to the throne, the Yan State has suffered repeated defeats, but it has repeatedly found good opportunities to send troops, just like a wretched and well-developed hyena, as long as it sniffs When the enemy is weak, he will quickly pounce on him and bite him.

It's a pity that the Yan army's combat effectiveness is really not good enough, otherwise the King of Yan may not be able to revive if he is overjoyed.

However, Fan Yuqi's rebellion was something he did not expect. Fortunately, Luo Wang detected the situation, and fortunately... Cheng Yu was not kidnapped.

Once Cheng Xi was kidnapped and Fan Yuqi raised the banner of rebellion, Cheng Xi was like mud on his crotch and could no longer clear his identity.

Even if Cheng Xiu is rescued and there is a lot of evidence to prove that Cheng Xiu is innocent, the clan will not agree to Ying Zheng reusing Cheng Xiu again.

In addition to the calming down of things on the border between Xinzheng and Qinyan, Qin's food crisis has also been alleviated to a certain extent.

Many merchants in Bashu donated generously, not only opening porridge sheds to relieve the people, but also raising funds to transport grain to Guanzhong with the governor of Shu County. Thanks to the Mohist organization Suzaku, the grain was transported to the Guanzhong granary with almost no loss. .

You need to know why the land of Bashu Tianfu in later generations could not support the Shu Han's Northern Expedition. The reason was the loss of food.

Regardless of the part that the people need to consume, the plank road is difficult and dangerous. When it rains, the mountain road is slippery, and people and vehicles often fall down the mountain together.

Moreover, many roads were not passable by cattle and horses, so people had to carry food on their shoulders, or even climb rocks while carrying food.

Only twenty-three out of ten can reach the front line in the end.

But with the Suzaku, a transport vehicle that can fly by absorbing the natural energy between heaven and earth, it can travel between Guanzhong and Shujun in three to five days without worrying about loss at all.

As for the grain that was transported, Ying Zheng ordered Mi Qi, the internal historian, to recruit victims for transportation. While providing relief work, the grain was transported to the center of Aocang to ensure Qin's logistics in the two battlefields of Wei and Chu.

Ying Zheng originally thought that this was good enough, but he did not expect that Bei Mingzi finally resolved Du Youting's grievances, and together with Donghuang Taiyi and others, they each summoned Taoist and Yin Yang disciples to build a rain praying altar, with incense, candles, Sacrifice three animals and pray to heaven for rain!

Three days later, the scorching sun disappeared, and seven days later, it rained heavily!

Even Ying Zheng, who always maintained a majestic and solemn image in front of others, couldn't help but run out of the palace barefoot and laugh loudly in the rain when he heard the sound of rain. Ying Zheng wanted to summon Bei Mingzi and Donghuang Taiyi to ask about the art of praying for rain, but he got the news that the two had spent too much to recuperate in seclusion.

In the end, Ying Zheng chose to summon Dongjun Feiyan and Yueshen, who were both at the praying altar for rain, and inquired. After all, the former was Zhang Ji's wife, and the latter was the national advisor of the Qin State. There was always someone willing to answer his questions.

The final result disappointed Ying Zheng.

It wasn't that both of them were unwilling to reveal the inside story about the art of praying for rain, but it was the inside story that greatly disappointed Ying Zheng.

Because... neither the Taoists nor the Yin-Yangists know how to pray for rain. All they do is watch the sky at night to detect the coming rain, and then the Taoists and Yin-Yangists pretend to be praying for rain successfully. scene.

However, another piece of good news came one after another, which made Ying Zheng feel better again.

Wang Jian, who besieged Daliang, had a plan to break the city!
In the Qin army's Sishui camp, Wang Jian stayed behind closed doors for days and saw no other generals. Everyone only thought that Wang Jian was depressed because of the failure to attack the city.

In the early years of King Wei Hui, the invincible Wei State was so rich that no wonder some people jokingly called Daliang City the Golden City. This Daliang City had almost all the gold piled on the royal city and city walls. It was by no means impregnable. exaggerate.

The outer city wall is thirteen feet high and ten feet thick. It is made of rammed earth on the inside and stone strips on the outside. It is almost a square wall. The royal city is even worse, with thick walls built entirely of bricks and stones, and there is not even rammed earth inside the walls.

Such a fortified city, even Wang Jian used various long-range weapons such as trebuchets and siege crossbows, could not even make a big hole when they hit the city wall.

Moreover, Daliang City is rich in food and grass, so it may not be a problem for the Wei army to defend it for three to five years.

Half a month ago, Wang Jian even found Zhidian, and sent Ba Linglong to cooperate with Black and White Xuanjian, who was familiar with Daliang City, with a fifty-man team composed of twenty killer-level snare killers and thirty land-level snare killers. , trying to sneak into the city and seize control of the city gate.

However, Daliang City is surrounded by soldiers, and ordinary people who approach the city gate will be immediately driven away, and they have no choice but to reveal their identities and rob them.

Facing the military formations and strong crossbows formed by Wei Wushu, the martial arts masters were ultimately inferior. Even though Ba Linglong, who had a master-level combat power, was injured by the strong crossbow, six killer-level snare killers and ten were killed in the battle. There were seven land-level snare killers. Fortunately, Black and White Xuanjian was familiar with the terrain of Daliang, so he reluctantly retreated hastily with the remaining snare killers.

Facing such an impregnable city, it is not surprising that Wang Jian was depressed.

Wang Jian didn't explain much. He just asked people to collect classics about Wei, including the history of the Three Jin Dynasties and the county annals of counties near Daliang. They loaded five carts full of them.

Yang Duanhe, who returned to Handan, and Zhao Hai, the new governor of Yingchuan County, asked people to cooperate with Wang Jian and load the collected histories of the Three Jin Dynasties and even wild histories into the Sishui camp.

After obtaining these classics, Wang Jian ordered his ten assistants, such as Shu Zuo and Shi Ren, to browse through all the classics briefly, select all the chapters related to the Wei State and list them in categories. Then he buried his head in front of the documents and began to search and figure out tirelessly. .

And on the day when the severe drought ended, the thunder that accompanied the downpour seemed to wake Wang Jian up, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Hahaha, God help me!"

From that day on, Wang Jian no longer stayed behind closed doors. Instead, he often led his guard camp around to inspect the landscape. At the same time, he wrote to Ying Zheng, requesting that the Taibu Ling Yun Zhongjun and the Water Works Ling Zheng Guo be sent to the Sishui Camp.
