Daqin Engineers

Xiang Yan's strategy is indeed feasible.

Because if one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period could match Qin's overall strength, it would be Chu.

Chu has people, land, and grain, and its size is not much different from that of Qin after the occupation of Bashu.

In addition, at this time, Xiang Yan's complete counterattack time was quite accurate...

It was the time when Qin had provoked all the six countries except Qi and even destroyed Zhao and South Korea. As long as Chu stood up for justice or won one or two victories, all countries would respond. .

For example, if Chu successfully encircled and annihilated the Qin army in Daliang with one hundred thousand soldiers, soldiers from various exiles would come to vote, and the people would easily accept or even welcome the rule of the "liberator" of Chu.

So the spark of Chu State soon started to start a prairie fire.

Therefore, the current siege and annihilation battle is the top priority for Xiang Yan. It has become the beginning of the whole strategy and almost determines the victory or defeat of Xiang Yan's grand strategy.

So far, Xiang Yan is very satisfied with the development of the matter.

Under the vigorous propaganda and call of the State of Chu, the military and civilians of the State of Wei strongly supported the troops of the State of Chu: There were many Wei soldiers from various directions to vote, but tens of thousands of people were added in more than ten days, and the people also gave food, clothing and various supplies. .

Xiang Yan believes that if one day in the future capture the main beam, he only needs to plant a puppet to be the emperor, so that he can control Wei.

For the Qin State, the Wei State at this time was also the top priority.

If Qin rests for four years before launching a war as in history, Wei may not be important.

Because at that time, the three counties of the Zhao Kingdom and South Korea had recovered their vitality and were ready for conscription.

But if the Qin State did not have these four years, the Wei State, which had good soil, fertility and water, and the people had a low sense of national identity, would be a battleground.

As said before, the fake dog of King Wei is worse than his lover, and the people are inferior to the dog in his eyes.

In this case, if it takes four years for the Qin army to occupy Zhao and Han before conscripting with confidence, it will only take one year or even six months in Wei.

Aside from other things, even a loyal minister like Wei Wei can succumb to Qin desperately, so what is impossible?

Conversely, if the land of Wei State falls into the hands of Chu State, it can also increase Chu State a large amount of food and troops in a short period of time.

The difference is too great.

Therefore, Ying Zheng, who is based in Handan, was walking around in the tent anxiously, but Wang Jian did not dare to say a word below.

After walking for a while, Ying Zheng stopped abruptly and asked:

"I won't have any other way to rescue the leader?"

"Are you just waiting for the Hanoi soldiers to be encircled and annihilated by Chu?"

Wang Jian replied:

"The king is safe and not dry, General Yang has captured Daliang City."

"The beam is indestructible, and there must be grain in the city."

"The subordinate thinks it is not difficult for Liang to stick to it for several months..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ying Zheng:

"What about after a few months? Do you have a solution?"

Wang Jian was speechless for a while.

He is indeed helpless in the current situation.

The main reason was that the Chu State Water Army was powerful and the Wei State Water Net was suitable for naval operations. Qin Army only had to go to the south for dozens of miles and it was very difficult to move.But Handan is more than six hundred miles away from the beam.

Ying Zheng knew this too. After thinking about it, he asked:

"Since the Chu army has a navy, can our army also organize a navy?"

"I can make Zhao Ren rush to build the warship day and night and hurry up to train."

"Then the navy vs. naval infantry vs. infantry will not be so passive."

Wang Jian replied:

"What the great king said is extremely true, and the Weichen will make arrangements immediately."

"only……"

"Handan is located in the lower reaches of the river, so the formation of naval forces and the confrontation with the Chu naval forces are also moving upstream.

"In addition, training the navy does not take a while."

"The Chu Shui Army are soldiers who grew up on the banks of the river..."

Ying Zheng interrupted Wang Jian with a "hum" wave:

"Then what do you think?"

Wang Jian could only bow slightly, afraid to speak.

Ying Zheng sighed and said:

"It would be great if Shen Bing were here, he would definitely be able to come up with a countermeasure against the enemy."

This is really too much for Shen Bing's face. What Ying Zheng doesn't know is that Shen Bing in the beam has nothing to do with it.

The weather was getting colder, and there was even a snowfall.

The water volume of the Yellow River has also gradually decreased, and it is estimated that the upper reaches of the river have been frozen.

This period is when the amount of water in the Yellow River is the smallest...Two areas of the Yellow River will be frozen, one is the Hetao Plain, and the other is near Jinkou.

The Hetao Plain is farther to the north than Jinkou. In addition, Jinkou is the estuary where there is seawater inflow and the temperature is not changing quickly, so the freezing is later.

In this freezing time difference, the upper river water does not come but the middle and lower river water can be discharged, only a limited number of tributaries supplement, so the water volume is minimal.

But this is not a good thing for Qin Jun.

To be precise, it was the Qin army of Wang Jianbu...they couldn't even build a pontoon bridge when the water volume was small. When crossing the ditch and the river, they had to build the bridge as before.

In such a cold sky, it is definitely a chore for the engineers to go down the river to build piles and bridges.

The only consolation is that Chu's navy is not so active due to the decrease in water volume.

But everyone knows that this is only temporary. Once the Jinkou River is frozen, the water in the lower reaches of the Yellow River will also accumulate and the water level will rise again.

Shen Bing was chatting with his subordinates while eating "hot pot" in the city.

The soldiers of the Qin Army did not have enough warm clothing and bedding, so they adopted a rotation system to defend the city.

Cang complained about this:

"I should wait outside the city to defend first, because I'm afraid the weather will get colder in the future!"

The fat man replied:

"But it's not much worse."

"I heard someone has frozen to death in the night!"

The temperature outside the city is low and it is hidden in tents that are difficult to keep out of the cold. In addition, the bedding is filled with wheat stalks and is not insulated. It is not surprising that it was frozen to death.

Shen Bing is fine, with two duck feather quilts.

However, Shen Bing separated a bed for his subordinates to sleep... When his subordinates were shivering from the cold, how was he embarrassed to have two beds alone.

But these are not problems, the problem is how to break this game.

If you can't figure out a way to eat less food a day, the conflicts in the city will one day be intensified, and blood will flow into rivers and corpses all over the field.

Even not long ago, someone proposed to kill a group of prisoners of war to reduce the rate of food consumption.

Of course Shen Bing didn't want to get to this point, but he couldn't think of a suitable way after deliberation...

"Master, master?" Fatty brought up a bowl of cooked dumplings, and said, "Eat the heat and warm up your body!"

Shen Bing nodded, took a few mouthfuls of the bowl and chopsticks, and then fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Shen Bing thought of a plan that seemed feasible, and he was so excited that he let the tableware and chopsticks freely jumped up, but he surprised everyone around him.
