Chapter 80 Ao Cang

Daliang is the intersection of all the waters on the Huai River. Even if King Zhao Zheng of Qin was not in Daliang, many strategists in the combat department suggested taking Daliang. Once Daliang was taken, they could control the Qin army's path to the south. The four-wheeled carriage did improve the Qin army's food and fodder transportation, but land transportation and water transportation were completely incomparable. Taking Daliang not only could curb the Qin army's invasion south, but also ensure that the Chu State's boat troops went north. The blocking tactics were ineffective north of Daliang, where it was Putianze, which was nearly a hundred miles long.

Daliang is important, but how to take down Daliang is a big problem. If the King of Qin was surrounded by Daliang, Qin would attack the whole country. Although there was a Great Wall to the west of Daliang - the Wei Great Wall originated from the Yellow River. It was first built along the west bank of Honggou, and then along Putianze, extending southward to Saiyu Pass (now Dazhuang, Weishi County), which lasted more than 160 miles.

The Qin army failed to attack Daliang in all the time because of the Wei Great Wall and the gardens and fields. Daliang is a big city with a wall of more than ten meters thick or even dozens of meters, not a thin city wall like Jucheng. If the Chu State did not pull out Daliang in a short time, the Qin army would have hundreds of thousands of reinforcements crossed the Wei Great Wall, and Xiang Yan would not have thought of any other way except to withdraw his troops.

After the establishment of the Grand Sima Mansion, it was already the operation of the War Department. Xiang Yan only chose which strategy he wanted, so he was not too distressed. Wei Zeng, the King of Wei in Daliang City, retreated to his small bedroom and began to sigh.

The King of Qin has become a hot potato. If he stays on Daliang and does not leave, the Yan will definitely attack Daliang; he is unwilling to ask the King of Qin to leave, so the King of Qin will inevitably become a bloody battlefield.

"What can Ruozhi do?" Looking at his servant, Wei Zeng retreated to serve the beloved concubine.

"Does the king think Qin wants to destroy Wei?" Wei Xi was not as frowning as Wei Zeng. He had already made plans in his heart.

"It's not like that." Wei Zeng thought about it carefully, but did not feel the intention of Qin King destroying Wei. "How can Qin army destroy me if it was defeated?"

"In this way, I ask the king to tell the story of the King of Qin, Han Hou." Wei Xi said, "The King of Han wanted to let the King of Qin stay in Daliang, but because he had an agreement with Xiang Yan, he wanted to capture and kill the King of Qin. I heard that the King of Qin was suspicious and would leave in fear."

"This... is unrighteous." Although Han Guo had selfish intentions, it was also for the interests of Wei and Han. Han Fei told Han honestly who Han Hou was, and he also wanted to share Qin's intelligence in the future. Now he sold Huan Qi, which was inappropriate in terms of emotion and reason.

"I heard that those who profit would not speak of righteousness. If the king did not report the Han Hou to the King of Qin, Xiang Yan would encircle Daliang. If the city was destroyed, the Wei State would be destroyed. If the city was destroyed, the Wei State would be killed and injured. If the city was destroyed, the Wei State would be killed and injured. Only by exchanging the safety of one person for the city was the only way to make the Qin King leave Daliang." Wei Xi advised. After thinking about it, the only way would be for Qin King to leave Daliang. "If the king thinks about Huan Qi, he can send him to escape from Chu first. When the King of Qin saw that Huan Qi had fled, he would leave Daliang. If the King of Qin was not in Daliang, Wei State could be harmonious with Chu Yan."

After Wei Xi finished speaking, Wei Zeng refused to answer. After a long time, he nodded silently, which determined Huan Qi's fate. However, he thought that Xiang Yan would lead his army to surround Daliang that night, but after sending the King of Qin away from the city in the second half of the night, the news he heard was that the King of Qin abandoned Daliang and went north. To the north was Putianze, and when he came out of the Tianze, it was Dahe. What did Chu do to Dahe? Did the Chu army already know that the King of Qin had left Daliang and was chasing the King of Qin?

Thinking of this, Wei Zeng couldn't help but feel a little excited. He didn't dare to kill the King of Qin, but he was happy to see the King of Qin die at the hands of the Chu people. Once the King of Qin dies, Qin will be in chaos for several years, and the danger of destroying the country will be postponed for several years.

"Come." Wei Zeng, who was standing on the Daliang city wall in the early morning, was shouting as the Chu army sailing troops heading north.

"I'm here." The vast valley was full of boats from the Chu army, and it was thirty or thirty miles away. The ministers were sweating all over the vests.

"Send the Wu soldiers to pursue the King of Qin quickly. If the Chu army attacks him, don't fight with him." Wei Zeng whispered, he wanted to watch the King of Qin being killed by the Chu people.

"Yi." They are all smart people, and the ministers understand the mind of the king very well.

"Why didn't the King stay with King Qin for leaving?" Wei Jianyou was very angry. Although he didn't know why King Qin left the city in a hurry, this must have something to do with King Wei.

"I have my own decisions." The former kings were afraid of Xinling Jun's throne. Although Wei Jianyou inherited Xinling Jun's title, his reputation was far inferior to his father. Wei Zeng spoke to him in an old-fashioned manner.

"The king will regret what he is doing today in the future." Wei Jianyou sighed, and after he said that, he stepped down.

The state magistrate Huan Qi had an affair with Xiang Yan, which led to the defeat of the Qin army and lured himself to stay in Daliang so that the enemy could siege the city. Zhao Zheng had not believed it after hearing this news, but Huan Qi was missing, and he finally realized that this was a terrible conspiracy.

When he left the city in the middle of the night, he found that the Chu army's boat troops abandoned Daliang and chased him in a hurry. Zhao Zheng felt that this was the conspiracy of the King of Wei: the Wei people did not dare to harm him, but the Jing people dared, and the King of Wei wanted to kill him by the Jing people's hand.

He was shocked overnight, and Zhao Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, looked heavier and he was getting heavier. Seeing that he was like this, Zhao Gao lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"The boat master is still chasing me?" Zhao Zheng asked again, clenching the sword tightly.

"That's right." Zhao Gao leaned out and asked, before answering.

"Has Changqi been lowered?" Zhao Zheng asked again.

The emperor built Chang and painted the sun and the moon. After destroying the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and moving the Nine Cauldrons, the Qin King's flag was painted with the sun and the moon. The kings of the Kanto countries could only hang flags. The former honor became a sign of attracting enemies. When he heard the boat troops chased him, Zhao Zheng immediately ordered the Chang flag to be lowered.

"Yes." Zhao Gao replied again, and he advised: "Don't worry, the five thousand guards in the Shaofu will be able to protect the king. The 30,000 troops in Rongyang were deported yesterday and came to rescue him at night. Maybe today..."

"Rongyang, Huan Qi is a marquis of the enemy country. How can he do what he said?" When talking about Huan Qi and Zhao Zheng, he was furious. He suddenly overturned the short band in front of him, and wrote to Jian to scatter all over the carriage and fell on the entire carriage. "If I go back to Xianyang, I will swear to kill the seven clans."

"Report to the king, the Jing people and the boats are gone to the river, but they are no longer seeing each other." Zhang Han's voice came from outside the car. At this time, the convoy no longer traveled north along Putianze, but turned eastward and headed towards Rongyang.

"Dahe?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled, "Why did Xiang Yan go to Dahe?"

The big river is the Yellow River. In this era, Shaanxi was not called the loess high slope, so the river water was not yellow. The garden zodiac was still wide in early autumn. Xiang Yan wanted Xiong Jing to stay in the zodiac, but he just wanted to go to the big river to take a look. As soon as he entered the Yellow River, he was a little stunned because the river water was not yellow, not only was it yellow, but the river surface was twice as wide as a gulf, several miles wide.

"Is this the big river?" After the wielding warship sailed into the Yellow River, it turned east, while the wielding warship boat was still fast, and it hurried towards Ao Cang, which was not far away. At dawn, a team of Qin troops sailed towards Rongyang on the west side of Putian Zen. Many people thought that this was the reinforcements of the Qin army to reinforce Rongyang. No one expected that this team of Qin troops was actually the guards of Zhao Zheng of Qin Wei.

"Yes." The Right Historian didn't know why the king asked this. The river was more than a thousand steps wide, and there was no such wide water except the river.

"Buying always thought... the river water was yellow." Xiong Jing smiled.

"During heavy rain, the river water is indeed yellow." The left and right history wondered why the king was curious about the color of the river water.

"Go to Ao Cang." Xiong Jing no longer looked at the river water. He was going to Ao Cang now.

"Great King, the general has an order, and he does not want the king to come to Ao Cang." The general of the boat army, Hong Cang, was also on the Wuyi warship. "The Queen Mother later asked the king to return to Yingdu early."

The Zhou army attacked Daliang, and Feixun Station was set up on the boat, and the information between him and Yingdu was always connected. Concubine Zhao missed her son, and when she heard that the war was about to happen, she asked her son to return to Yingdu as soon as possible.

When Xiong Jing saw Hong Kong's mother being taken to her, she said unhappy: "Is General Hong going to imprison the unhappy?"

"I dare not." Hong Kong Huo hurriedly bowed. "Ao Cang defenders are less than ten thousand and are not equipped. Our Chu army should be out of power and go down in one go. The king will go forward, and it is useless for the war."

"Hmph." Xiong Jing was indeed a little displeased. He knew why Xiang Yan and others were like this. "Transfer the orders of the king, go to Ao Cang quickly."

"King," the warships of the wing were full of sanitation. The red wall could not order him, so he could only say: "Please don't want to land, let alone..."

"I don't have a horse." Xiong Jing said angrily. It was a whim that day when he rushed towards the Qin army, not his intention. Now he was not convinced and he was not healed. He wanted to charge alone.

Hong Liu felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he secretly asked Chang Jiang to ask the paddle sanitation to slow down. So when the wielding warship arrived in Ao Cang, the long live cheers of the Chu soldiers on the mountain.

"Have you taken down Ao Cang? Have you taken down Ao Cang?" Xiong Jing asked anxiously when he heard the soldiers cheering.

Ao Cang was surrounded on the south bank of the Yellow River, and corn could transport Honggu. According to the combat plan, part of the Dayi was directly transmitted from the entrance of Honggu to the grain transport canal connecting Honggu, and the other part turned into the Yellow River and landed on the north side of Ao Cang. Ao Cang did not have many defenders, and the 30,000 defenders in Rongyang were ordered to be transferred to Daliang. When thousands of Qin troops were defeated, Lifu on the mountain also fled. It was just because of the obstacles of Ao Mountain that Xiong Jing on the warship could not see anything.

"Report to the king, our army will seize Ao Cang!" The red flag verb was whispered out, and once he got a reply from the top of the mountain.

"Buling wants to go and see!" Xiong Jing couldn't wait and quickly ordered the warship to dock.

"Please, the king..." Hong Kong Shu was about to be careful, but Xiong Jing had already run down the wooden ladder and climbed the river bank. Fortunately, he couldn't run fast without a horse this time, and more than 200 sanitation squads held three phoenix flags and caught him up.

Ao Cang is located west of Aoshan, at the gap in the Aoshan remnant (now Magou Village, Gaocun Township, Rongyang). From here, you can just pass through Aoshan and save corn to Ao Cang in the south of the mountain. To the north, as long as you keep the gap in Aoshan remnant, you can block the enemy. To the south, although Aoshan remnant is short, the terrain is still higher than the south. In addition, there is a grain transport canal south of Ao Cang, which can penetrate the Great Valley from here.

Before Xiong Jing landed, he saw the grain transport boats and helpless boatmen parked by the Yellow River. When he landed, he saw the double-shaft chariots in rows filled with sacks. Because of panic, there was a section of the road full of corn sprinkled. But what really opened his eyes was the southern slope of the remnants. Looking south, the hillside was full of dense pottery. To the east of the pottery was the granary like a house. These granaries were all over the south of Aoshan, orderly like the street market in Yingdu, and almost nowhere to be seen at a glance.
