General Qin

"Zhang Er's head was robbed?"

Zhao Tuo was quite surprised. He learned the news from the five hundred masters stationed in Xiaohuang.

In the battle of Waihuang, he beheaded Zhang Er. According to the usual practice, Zhang Er's head was sent to Huan Zhao for identification, and then under Huan Zhao's order, it was sent to the cities near Chenliu.

The purpose is to intimidate the Wei people and let them know that the famous Wei Guo celebrities, Wai Huangling and Zhang Er have all been beheaded. If you want to fight against the Qin army, you must first weigh whether your head is enough to cut off.

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

"The head has been hung for many days, and nothing happened. The subordinates don't care too much, and those people are very cunning. First, they set fires and made noise in the surrounding area, and led the guards to put out the fire, so that they can take the opportunity to snatch it away. headed,

When the five hundred masters stationed here said it, they were still very angry. He sent his men to search everywhere, but found nothing. Zhang Er's head had been taken away from Xiao Huang long ago.

"This group of people is so courageous. They dared to snatch the head of the five hundred Qin soldiers. The leader must be bold and careful, and he also has a deep feeling for Zhang Er. Otherwise, even if he is a Qingxia, he would not To take such a big risk. Could it be that he is a disciple who is loyal to Zhang Er?"

Zhao Tuo thought of the dozen or so Qingxia he met among the migrating Wei people on the way to Xiaohuang.

Especially the Confucian scholar inside who was carrying a burden, he looked like a man in his thirties, but he looked quite talented.

"Confucian scholar...Qingxia...could it be him?"

Zhao Tuo had guesses in his heart, but then shook his head. It was useless to think too much at this time, the other party must have run away long ago.

Now that the general trend of destroying Wei has been decided, a small chivalrous Confucian scholar on the other side can't make any waves, so don't worry about it.

But when this incident happened, Zhao Tuo didn't let the convoy enter Xiaohuang City just in case. Although there are still 500 defenders in the city, there are also a large number of Wei people. It is hard to guarantee that there will not be a bold Qingxia who will do crazy things.

Zhao Tuo set up camp outside the city, and ordered people to patrol day and night, and sent out horses for several miles to prevent Wei people from approaching. With such caution, Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief that the night passed safely without any trouble.

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

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

"My mother, there is so much water here!"

Heihip screamed out in surprise, and all the soldiers around him looked surprised, and the sound of surprise was endless. Even Shejian, who had always been calm, opened his eyes wide at this moment, staring at the front in a daze.

Looking around, the once impenetrable, splendid and majestic giant city of the Central Plains has now become an isolated island in the endless torrent.

A long torrent swept across this place. The muddy river poured out from the northern chasm. From a distance, it looked like a giant yellow python, meandering in, strangled Daliang City with its body, and tightened it step by step until it reached the city wall. The day of the collapse was the time when Wei Guo was strangled to death.

"Although there was no siege battle, the disease may have been prevalent in Daliang City long ago, and I don't know how many people died."

Zhao Tuo stood on the high ground, looking at Daliang City in the distance in the torrent.

It is summer now, the sun is hot, the heat is unbearable, there are flying mosquitoes and flies everywhere, and the blistered city is the most likely to breed diseases and diseases.

Zhao Tuo could even see that at the top of the Daliang city, a soldier was holding a human-shaped object and threw it down the city, and it disappeared in the torrent of water in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the two hundred young and strong households who were escorted here also saw the Wei capital Daliang soaked in the flood in the distance. Many people cried bitterly and fell to their knees on the spot, wailing in despair.

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

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

Zhao Tuo also sighed, after Daliang City is broken, this place will probably become a barren land, at least for several years, no one will settle here.

The majestic girder is about to perish.

"This girder has such a low-lying terrain. Once the big river in the north is dug up, it will be submerged in a flash. Such a terrain can be described as a deadly place. I really don't know why the king of Wei built his capital here. Isn't he just looking for a dead end?"

Beside him, She Jian said coldly, he had been studying the art of war with Zhao Tuo during this time, and he already had a good strategic vision, and he could tell at a glance that there was a big problem with the terrain of Daliang.

Zhao Tuo nodded.

In the land of Daliang, you can go to Yanzhao Hurong in the north, reach the seashore of Qidi in the east, enter Hangu in the west to attack Qin, and go down to the Jianghuai to approach Chu in the south. In its heyday, it extended in all directions, and the world was in the palm of your hand. When it comes to decline, it will be reduced to the place of the Four Wars, and there is no danger to defend.

This is not only the case with the beams of the Wei State, but also the dynasty that used this place as Bianjing in later generations.

When the country is in its heyday, it is natural to be able to hang around and enjoy the ultimate transportation convenience, but if the national power declines, the capital of the country will be the weakness of the entire country.

But Zhao Tuo didn't come here to sigh, he urged the soldiers to send the escorted food and two hundred young men to the barracks.

The Qin army's camp was built on a high ground, away from the flood, and overlooking Liangcheng. Once there was a change in the city, it could quickly send troops. However, judging from the water situation outside Daliang City, the people in the city probably have no power to break through and can only sit and wait in the city.

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

After reporting his name, General Qin, who was in charge of the defense of the battalion, quickly bowed his hands to show Zhao Tuo his respect.

"Does the superior know my name?"

Zhao Tuo hastily bowed his hands and returned the salute. General Qin belonged to Huaiyang's division, and he had no contact with him. Looking at Zhao Tuo, he looked like he had admired his name for a long time, which surprised Zhao Tuo.

The general of Qin said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao won a complete victory in the battle of Xingyang. He beheaded the general of Wei and captured the prince of Wei. We have all heard about such achievements. Even General Wang said that if there is no Zhao Gongcheng, we are in danger of being stolen by the people of Wei. If the general of Wei hadn't seen through the trick of the general of Wei, and really let him attack Xingyang by surprise and burn the army rations, I'm afraid we would have to eat dirt 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 quickly responded with a smile, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the Qin general, he delivered the escorted food and prisoners.

More than a thousand shi of grain, plus nearly 200 captives, and the few heads that were beheaded, after counting and confirming that the numbers are correct, the Qin general will be included in the document.

In this way, Zhao Tuo's mission was completed.

The commander of the Qin army is in the camp.

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

He looked at the bamboo slips presented by his subordinates, which recorded the grain and the number of prisoners Zhao Tuo paid this time.

Wang Ben glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Although this son is young, he has no benevolence for a woman. This task has been completed well, and it is worthy of use."

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

He smiled and said: "This kid has some skills. Not only does Tu Sui like him, but the Xianyang office also allowed me to experience him more. Well, after the merits of the Battle of Xingyang are awarded to him, he will have the title of Five Doctors, so he is qualified Lead an army out independently."
