Daqin Engineering Corps

Shen Bing touched his stomach and burped:

"Let's talk about it in a few days. Although this thing is crispy and delicious, you can't eat too much."

Meng Liang immediately responded:

"Okay, then two days later, my subordinates will prepare more grease..."

Shen Bing cursed inwardly, he's another foodie, but he won't lose any fat, and the leftover lard can also be used for stir-frying and so on.

What Shen Bing didn't know was that Meng Liang sneaked out in the dead of night.

After checking with his personal guards, he got into a tent next to the handsome tent.

After entering the account, Meng Liang quickly knelt down:

"The humble minister sees the king."

"My lord, my subordinates have found out how to make the scallion pancake."

Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the memorial under the oil lamp, became excited when he heard it:

"Oh? Tell me, how can you make it as thin as a cicada's wing and have several layers?"

Meng Liang replied:

"Different from the imperial chef's method of stacking layers, Shen Bing smears it with ointment, rolls it into a ball, and then rolls it flat..."

"The subordinates believe that it is the ointment that makes it impossible to bond between the layers."

"So it will naturally form multiple layers as thin as a cicada's wing!"

Ying Zheng said "Oh" and nodded his head:

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable... let the imperial chef make it like this immediately!"

Meng Liang added:

"My lord, this time my subordinates discovered..."

"Shen Bing boiled the ointment in a wok to make something called oil residue, which is also extremely delicious."

"If you put it in the scallion pancake, it will be even more fragrant..."

This made even Ying Zheng's mouth water.

"Is there such a method? Where is the imperial cook?"

It turned out that Meng Liang was a spy arranged by Ying Zheng to "spy on intelligence" beside Shen Bing.

As a great king, he doesn't have so much time to go to Shen Bing's place, even if he is a horse merchant, it's not a good thing to eat and drink all the time, and he was chased away just like last time.

At the same time, Ying Zheng didn't want Shen Bing to make any more delicious food but he didn't know, so he planned to send someone to keep an eye on it.

Who should I send?

Eunuchs like Zhao Gao are definitely not good, and they will definitely be discovered after a long time.

The courtiers around him are not good either, let alone old-fashioned, how can they sneak into the craftsmen?

Even if they can get in, their old bones can't stand it!

If people know that he, the king, has arranged for people to "spy" for the sake of food, what's the point? !

Suddenly thought of the courtier's family... so he called Meng Jia and talked about it.

Na Mengjia couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words.

This is the king's trust in him, and by the way, even his son has fallen into the king's eyes.

So how could he not agree, and immediately arranged Meng Liang to Yang Duanhe in the name of inheriting meritorious service.

Before leaving, Meng Jia also told Meng Liang thousands of times:

"Son!"

"Although this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Meng family, we must remember that there is always a thin line between opportunity and danger!"

"There are a few things you must keep in mind."

"One: Your Majesty attaches great importance to this soldier, and you must never offend him."

"Second: Your Majesty doesn't want to reveal your identity, so don't show your feet."

"Third: You must strictly keep your mouth shut on this matter, and don't tell others that you know."

"Remember, remember..."

Although Meng Liang is not doing business or doing nothing normally, but the task entrusted by the king is not sloppy at all... Just kidding, this is always a case of copying and beheading, who dares to be sloppy?

So Meng Liang always kept in mind the three things Meng Jia confessed.

After being incorporated into the engineering army as Zuo Yufu, he didn't dare to deliberately contact Shen Bing, because he was worried that Shen Bing would become suspicious if he showed his feet.

Then he used Yinzi to sneak into the artillery division in the name of Chenggong, but he didn't want Shen Bing to be promoted to a miser.

Meng Liang was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, so after some operations, he suddenly "worked hard" and "worked hard".

After having the method, Yuchu quickly made the pancakes with oily residue.

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to eat a few pieces, nodded while chewing, and at the same time made a satisfied "hmm" sound from his throat.

After a while, Ying Zheng sighed:

“Delicious, extremely delicious.”

"This Shen Bing is also amazing, how can he know so many methods!"

Then he ordered Meng Liang:

"Explore again, if there is any delicious food, report it immediately!"

Meng Liang responded and was about to quit, but was called back by Ying Zheng.

"If there is a chance..." Ying Zheng confessed thoughtfully, "Tell Shen Bing about Wei Guo."

Meng Liang's head was "coaxed" and it became chaotic:

Talk about military affairs?I don't know anything about this!

124章 水攻

The next day, Shen Bing saw Meng Liang flipping through a sheepskin map in his tent.

Shen Bing was a little strange, during Meng Liang's "work" period, besides talking about food and drinking, when did he start looking at the map?

However, Shen Bing ignored him and took the document from Meng Huan for his signature.

This is one of the troubles of being a coward.

Things can be done and arranged by Meng Huan, but everything must be read and signed by Shen Bing before it counts.

At this time, Meng Liang came up, holding a map in his hand and said:

"Look at the coward, tell me... If we want to send troops to Wei, how should we attack?"

Shen Bing glanced at it and was a little surprised that it was Zhang Weiguo's map.

If this map is in modern times, it's no big deal, as long as anyone wants to have one.

But in this era... a map with accurate traffic routes, hydrology, and city pools can only be owned by people like Yang Duan and that level.

In particular, maps of enemy countries are even rarer.

But after thinking about it, Shen Bing didn't think it was strange. You must know that Meng Liang is the son of the favorite minister Meng Jia, so it is not easy to get a map.

only……

"Ms. Zuo, turn this map upside down!"

Meng Liang was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh":

"I just said that it looks a little awkward, but it's reversed!"

As he spoke, he turned the map around and didn't change his face.

Shen Bing smiled and said:

"Zuo Yufu, if you don't know the map, why should you care about the war?"

Meng Liang let out an "ah":

"The coward doesn't know something. The subordinates really don't want to care about the war."

"But at this time, the subordinates are in the army at any time to fight, and my father also asked the subordinates to come here to learn the method of marching."

"If you don't even understand the map when you go back, then..."

It's really like that.

But Shen Bing knew that Meng Liang's words could only be half believed, so he didn't take it seriously.

In order to get rid of this annoying Meng Liang, Shen Bing turned over the bamboo slips and wanted to answer casually:

"How else can we attack? Water attack!"

Meng Liang couldn't help but widen his eyes:

"Water attack?"

"Why can you attack with water?"

Of course, Shen Bing would not answer that Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian in history, was the one who flooded the city of Liangjian and destroyed the state of Wei.

But that would have to be a few years later, and Wang Ben should be only 16 years old at this time...

Males in Qin Dynasty generally served at the age of 17, and they would be brought forward when there was an urgent need for special circumstances.

For example, during the Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhao mobilized all men over the age of 15 in Hanoi County to rush to the front.

At the age of 15, and under the condition of being generally malnourished and short in stature in ancient times, it is conceivable that they are almost a group of child soldiers.

The children of nobles are more free in this respect. They will learn various skills and art of war in military schools, and then go to the battlefield to experience them.

At this time, Wang Ben should be still studying as a disciple, and he will soon become a teacher and follow Wang Jian to experience the battle, and in a few years he will be able to stand alone.

It is said that he was only 19 years old when he captured more than ten cities of Chu State and destroyed Wei State.

These are all digressions, Shen Bing signed the bamboo slips with a pen, raised his head towards the map, and said:

"Daliang City draws water from the Yellow River and the Bian River as the moat."

"Why don't I build an embankment and flood the girder with water?"

Meng Liang was stunned for a long time before asking:

"Is this plan really feasible?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Try it and you'll know!"

After saying that, he handed the bamboo slips back to Meng Huan and went out with Ren.

Most of the soldiers of the Qin army from Xianyang were landlubbers. If you want them to build a pontoon bridge, you have to let them learn to swim first, which is really troublesome.

That night, Meng Liang told Ying Zheng exactly what Shen Bing said.

Ying Zheng gasped when he heard that.

Is this still human?

He and Wang Jian, Yang Duan and others studied for a long time, and they found that the water net and the city were to be attacked. Finally, they decided to use the catapult to attack the city and use the pontoon bridge to overcome the water net...

Unexpectedly, Shen Bing overturned all the plans with a casual sentence!

Water attack!

Why can't I think of attacking with water?

Daliang Jiancheng has been there for more than a hundred years, and the Yellow River and Bian River have also flowed on both sides for more than a hundred years.

Everyone who hit Daliang City was attacking the city and breaking the water net, so no one thought about water attack!

Yingzheng immediately sent people to call Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe.
