Daqin Engineers

Chapter 199 Meng Wu

Jun Changping hoped that Shen Bing could testify for him.

This is a very wise approach.

Because Lord Changping was in a very embarrassing situation at this time, the strategy set by Shen Bing and Lord Changping was not for Ying Zheng.

Just tell Ying Zhengzhi, for example, Changping Jun plans to escape back to Chu and become the King of Chu.

Can a suspicious Ying Zheng be trusted?

Upon hearing this strategy, Ying Zheng would definitely think:

Your kid is treating the widow as a three-year-old, right?

You fled back to the Kingdom of Chu and became the King of Chu. Can you come and descend?

Isn't it time to let the tiger go back to the mountain?

So instead of agreeing, Mr. Changping will be placed under house arrest or even imprisoned.

If you don't tell me...

One day Lord Changping persuaded Xiang Yan and the others to come down, saying that this was a long-planned plan.

How can Yingzheng believe it easily?

Ying Zheng only Dao Changping Jun, this is the grass on the wall, was captured by the Qin army, and then there was no hope for the restoration of the country and brought people to surrender.

Therefore, only Shen Bing can prove all of this, and then we can better win the trust of Yingzheng and have more capital to bargain.

Shen Bing responded very simply.

After all, this is a good thing, but persuading Lord Changping to surrender and bring the remnant of Chu to the Qin State has saved a lot of trouble, and it is naturally another great achievement.

When Shen Bing returned to the barracks, he saw Meng Liang anxiously waiting for him outside the door.

When Shen Bing came back, Meng Liang hurriedly greeted him and saluted:

"Vice-General Shen save me."

Shen Bing couldn't help but wonder:

"What's so alarming?"

No wonder Shen Bing was puzzled, to know that this Mengliang is the son of Pang Chen Mengjia, and what could harm him in this barracks!

Na Mengliang replied:

"The lieutenant does not know that the one hundred thousand Qin army from Handan is about to arrive."

Shen Bing smiled, and asked as he walked into the deputy general's mansion:

"Why did the 100,000 Qin army arrive? Didn't they come to catch you?"

Meng Liang replied:

"It's not, but... the leader is General Mengwu."

Shen Bing said "Oh", which was even more strange in his heart.

Meng Wu is Meng Yu's son, and Meng Jia is Meng Yu's younger brother. Isn't this Meng Liang just Meng Wu's cousin?

This is a general's cousin who came to Mengliang to be happy, how could it be like a catastrophe.

Meng Liang obviously knew what Shen Bing was thinking, so he sighed:

"The lieutenant doesn't know something. My father and my cousin have never been at peace."

"This time, if my cousin finds a reason to send me to the battlefield..."

Hearing this, Shen Bing understood that Meng Liang was still worried that Meng Wu would take this opportunity to avenge his personal revenge.

It does not seem surprising that Meng Gao is a famous general of Qin, while Meng Jia is Pang Chen.

Since ancient times, the famous general and Pang Chen have been opposed, so the relationship between the two of them is not much better, so Mengwu naturally does not shame Mengjia's style of work.

It's no wonder that Mengliang has a cousin who is a general but has to go to the artillery to take the credit.

Meng Liang handed over to Shen Bing and said:

"Vice general, if Meng Wu wants to transfer me to him, please also the vice general..."

Shen Bing pretended to be embarrassed:

"This...I'm just a lieutenant general, while Mengwu is a general."

"If the general has ordered, how can I, the deputy general, have no reason to follow?"

Meng Liang's face turned pale:

"Vice-General, this is absolutely impossible, if I arrive, he puts it down, but he will die forever..."

Shen Bing laughed loudly:

"You are just unreasonable worry. As a general of the army, Mengwu thinks mostly about siege and kill the enemy. How could he want to embarrass you?

"I'm afraid he doesn't take you seriously at all."

"Just relax!"

Meng Liang breathed a sigh of relief:

"If he doesn't take me to heart."

"In short, the lieutenant must protect his subordinates when the time comes!"

"Meng Liang is grateful!"

Shen Bing had no choice but to agree.

Shen Bing guessed right, Meng Wu did not take Meng Liang to heart.

The army of 100,000 Qin Jun arrived only three days later.

Handan is only more than 500 miles away from the beam, and it should have arrived in more than ten days.

But because the road between the two cities was flooded, this 100,000 army could only detour a long way, and it took more than 20 days to reach Daliang.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Bing plans to attack Chu again next spring.

The river has not returned to Heze, and it is difficult to transport military supplies.

Unless the black armor is placed on the river to patrol and escort, it cannot be transported by ship.

But in this way, the Black Armored Army will be caught in their hands and feet and cannot get out.

Yang Duanhe will inevitably have to introduce Shen Bing again.

This Meng Wu was already a veteran in his forties. He only looked at Shen Bing and nodded slightly and then fell silent.

After a while, Meng Wu said to Yang Duanhe:

"General, it is reported that the tentative plan for attacking Chu is to attack the Huaishui River along the Chencheng under the water."

"Subordinates think it's wrong."

Yang Duanhe asked:

"What's wrong?"

Mengwu answered:

"If our army attacked the Huai River, it would be a lone army going deep into Chu land."

"Although this strategy can cut off the Huaibei Chu army's retreat, our army is also suffering from all sides."

"If there is a change in Chencheng in the rear, our army will be deeply surrounded by the Chu army. At that time, I am afraid that the attack on Chu will not succeed and it will damage the army."

Yang Duanhe asked:

"So, how should our army attack Chu from the general's opinion?"

Meng Wu answered without thinking:

"Take Caozhou first, then Chencheng."

"In this way, Chen City can be protected."

Yang Duanhe exchanged glances with Shen Bing.

Mengwu's strategy is indeed more secure, but it is too secure...This is equivalent to a steady attack of one city and one pool.

Then, if you fight, you will find that there is not a single enemy, but it is just moving the front line back.

Although the tactics set by Shen Bing and Yang Duanhe were dangerous, they cut a knife along the Huai River in the middle of the Chu army before dividing and encircling them.

We must know that this battle is the Qin army's strong combat power but few troops, while the Chu army's weak combat power and many troops, so we should make full use of Qin's strengths to boldly intersperse rather than fight steadily.

It can also be seen that Mengwu is a traditional person.

Yang Duanhe did not refuse on the spot, but replied politely:

"General Meng is right, I will discuss it later."

Don’t want Mengwu but still insist:

"General."

"Our army's battle to destroy Zhao took more than ten years."

"Now this State of Chu does not lose to Zhao, and its national strength is even stronger than Zhao."

"So Mengwu believes that I must not be impatient, and plan to fight for a long time."

This sounded reasonable, but in fact the situation of Zhao State and Chu State were different.

Moreover, the state of Qin when Zhao was eliminated was different from the state of Qin when Chu was eliminated, so of course you cannot use the elimination of Zhao to push and destroy Chu.

Shen Bing frowned.

It's no wonder that Meng Yu, the grandfather of the Meng clan, is a famous general, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who are grandchildren, are also famous.

If he had participated in any battles, it would have followed Li Xin and Wang Jian to destroy Chu.

But they did not lead the army like Meng Yu and Meng Tian.
