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

Chapter 626 Dog Meat Feast
(Suddenly I realized that today is my birthday, emm. I almost forgot about it if my book friend hadn’t reminded me)

In the palace of King Wei
Wei Wangzeng also frowned when he heard An Lingjun's advice.

Although he loves elixirs, he is mediocre and not faint. After living in Daliang for so many years, he still doesn't know how afraid Daliang people are of floods.

"But what can be done?"

Wang Zeng of Wei sighed. Although Daliang City was surrounded by the Qin army, the Chasm was still under the control of the Wei army. But even so, the Wei army only temporarily controlled most of the Chasm. The Qin army would definitely concentrate all its efforts to clear the Wei army in the Chasm area. national army.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if we want to prevent the Qin army from attacking Daliang by water, the main army in Daliang City must go to Honggou to garrison and defend outside the river."

Gongsun, the general of Daliang who was falsely summoned by King Wei, spoke angrily.

Gongsun Nu is a descendant of Gongsun Yan, the rhinoceros leader at that time. Gongsun Yan's lineage has served as the Daliang general of the Wei State for generations, responsible for protecting the safety of Daliang City.

Although Gongsun Nu did not have the military skills of his ancestor Gongsun Yan, he had a unique vision in strategy and could see the real key points of Wei State at a glance.

"General, are you saying that only partial troops will be left to defend the city?"

Wei Wangzeng's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Gongsun Nu with some disbelief. He pointed at Gongsun Nu and said: "All the kings of Wei in the past have treated your Gongsun family very well. From generation to generation, they have entrusted the defense of the capital of Daliang to the important task. But this proposal of yours, could it be? Do you want to send the widow and the Liang Kingdom to the Qin army for the sake of glory? "

"Daliang City is the capital of our Wei State. The main force is stationed at Honggou, and the partial troops are stationed at the capital. Is there any such thing as beheading someone because of a headache?"

As he said that, Wei Wangzeng showed a sickly pale look on his face, and even his breath was a little unsatisfactory. He gasped for air, took out a golden pill from his sleeve and swallowed it in his mouth, and then his breath became smoother. The pale color on his face turned into a healthy blush.

In fact, Lord Anling was a little hesitant. He was not familiar with military affairs, but he knew that after Gongsun was angry with his family, he would not come up with a strategy that even laymen he and Wei Wangzeng found problematic. Such despicable means to surrender to the enemy.

"My king, please don't be impatient. It won't be too late to listen to General Gongsun."

"Huh." Wei Wangzeng took a deep breath and understood that his actions just now were a bit rude. He bowed to Gongsun Nu to apologize, "I am a little impatient in the face of the crisis. Please don't take it to heart, general."

Gongsun Nu looked at Anling Jun with gratitude, bowed to King Wei in return, and then continued: "What my king said is actually not unreasonable. There is no such thing as beheading for a headache in the world. However, the cause of this headache is not internal, but external."

"Just like the danger of Daliang lies not in city defense, but in floods!"

"The Qin army and the Qin people in the chasm are like a hammer hitting the head. The headache is caused by this hammer that keeps hitting the head."

"The main force stationed in the chasm is like holding up a shield to protect the head, preventing the hammer from continuing to hit the head. In this way, the headache will be stopped and the head will be worry-free."

After listening to Gongsun Nu's analysis, both Wei Wang Zeng and An Lingjun understood it, and even Wei Wang Jiu and others on the side also understood it, but their brows were still furrowed, and there was a hesitation on their faces that could not be eradicated even by the summer heat. and hesitation.

"I understand what the general said."

Wei Wangzeng was still worried in his heart, but when he saw Wei Wangzeng's worried face, he hesitated to speak. The old minister Shicheng said for Wei Wangzeng what he could not say as the king of Wei.

"General, if the Qin army stops attacking by water and attacks Daliang City with all its strength, then I dare to ask general, can the partial army defend Daliang City?"

"If the Qin army leads the main force to attack Daliang City, it can still defend it. If the entire Qin army swarms up, I don't know."

Gongsun Nu said, "I don't know." It seemed that he didn't say anything, but in fact he said everything.

"This...then how can we use all the main force?" Xicheng didn't hold back and almost cursed. You are not sure that you can defend Daliang City with your partial army, so why are you proposing this?

"With partial troops defending the city, success or failure is unknown. If the Qin army is allowed to breach the embankment, the beam will be defeated!"

Gongsun was angry when he saw that all the courtiers were still so hesitant, so he simply took the risk and made it clear.

"But can the general guarantee that the main force of the Wei army can hold the gap?"

Wei Jia, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"The walls of Daliang City are high and thick, and the stores of grain, grass and goods are abundant. At that time, Jimo could hold on for six years. Daliang City did not hold on for ten years, but holding on for five years is definitely not a problem, right? Can the world change in five years?"

"Besides, even if Daliang City is defended and all the main forces outside the city are lost, if the Wei State can defend it this time, it will not be able to defend it a second time. Doesn't it mean that the Wei State has lost the foundation for its revival!"

Although Wei Jie's words are a bit absurd, they are not unreasonable. All the Wei troops are dead, and the defense of Daliang City will only last a few more years.

When Gongsun Nu was refuted by Wei Ji, he couldn't help but said coldly: "It's unheard of to defend the city without external defense!"

Wei Jia immediately retorted: "Have you never heard of it? Did Jimo have a large external defense army back then? How could they defend it for six years?"

Gongsun Nu took a deep breath and said: "Back then, Jimo did not defend itself from the outside, but it was actually unable to defend itself from the outside. Our army could defend but not defend, wouldn't it mean that we were giving up the chasm?"

Wei Jia didn't feel anything was wrong at all. Instead, he felt that he was thinking very sharply today. He immediately said loudly and loudly: "This is a big fallacy! If you guard against the chasm, won't the Qin army attack the chasm?"

"If I were Wang Jian, I would simply give up the water attack and use all the main force of the Qin army to surround and kill the main force of the Wei army. In any case, the losses would be smaller than the forceful attack on Daliang. Wouldn't the city be broken by then? Why not simply withdraw the army outside the city into the city? Wait for the Chu army to rescue you!"

"As for outside the city, I can send out 1,500 Wei mastiffs to patrol the gap day and night! But if there is a warning, the army will leave the city again!"

Although Gongsun Nu had an upright temperament, he abided by the principles of a monarch and his ministers and was unwilling to make a quarrel with Wei Jie in the court.

Moreover, he could see that except for Lord Anling, the other courtiers did not want the main force of the Wei army to protect them to leave the city to defend the gap, so they had to sigh and leave angrily.

"I'm afraid that when the water floods the beams, all the gentlemen will still be in their dreams!"

Everything was as expected by Gongsun Nu. Although the Wei mastiff was brave, such a beast was no less than a vicious tiger. Even the soldiers of the Qin army couldn't help but be afraid of the 1,500 Wei mastiffs.

The first time the Wei Mastiffs attacked, they killed and injured no less than 500 Qin soldiers, and nearly a thousand civilians were killed and wounded, not counting the Qin soldiers and civilians who trampled each other to death.

However, the victory of the Wei Mastiffs was only this one. Li Xin and General Teng, who learned that the Wei Mastiffs were causing trouble, were furious. Together with the other generals, they gathered 800 people in the army who were good at riding and shooting and launched a hunt for the Wei Mastiffs. .

In the end, only a dozen or so of the 1,500 Wei Mastiffs escaped. The more than 1,900 Wei Mastiffs were boiled and made into dog meat by Li Xin and others, and they were given to those who were bitten by the Wei Mastiffs. The soldiers and civilians used the broth to feed the rest of the Qin army. Everyone was given at least a bowl of spicy dog ​​meat soup with dogwood.

Afterwards, Li Xin also threw the remaining dog bones into Daliang City with a trebuchet. More than 100,000 troops shouted at the top of Daliang City in unison: "Thank you Prince Wei for the mastiff meat feast!"

This howl made Wei Jie so angry that he cried and fussed, and even couldn't think of hanging himself to bury the dead Wei Mastiff. Thanks to the retainers of the Prince's Mansion, they found out and saved him.

At the same time, the main force of the Chu army, which the Wei people had been waiting for, finally broke the sit-down confrontation with the Qin army and started a real confrontation!
