Daqin Engineering Corps

The Qin army got used to it once and twice, and when they went to "combat", they directly pulled a few more rafts, and then shouted at the Chu army:

"Whoever wants to surrender will come, and those who don't will stay where they are!"

This method is good, and there is no need to expend troops to destroy them. The Chu army all unloaded their equipment and dropped their weapons to obey the Qin army's orders. There were even cases where a few Qin troops captured hundreds of Chu troops.

There was joy in Daliang City, and every time the soldiers brought back a batch of prisoners, they would always set off cheers in the army.

As for the soldiers and civilians of the Wei State...they also have no choice.

Among them, Wei Wei contributed a lot. During this period of time, he has been complaining about his interests and interests to the army and people of Wei State.

Soldiers and civilians think about it, they were indeed worse than dogs before under the false command of King Wei. Now, what's wrong with becoming the most powerful country in the Central Plains under the Qin State?

So he half-heartedly accepted it.

On Handan's side, Ying Zheng held his head high and his chest high.

At this time, although he didn't dare to leave the tent to expose his identity easily because of the danger of Zhaodi, his thoughts had already drifted out of the tent to conceive a beautiful blueprint.

This battle can be said to have opened up a great situation for Qin. It not only solved various crises, but also defeated Chu's army.

Ying Zheng summarized the following advantages:

One: the defeat of hundreds of thousands of Chu troops caused heavy casualties, and the Chu army would be unable to send troops for a long period of time after their vitality was seriously injured, so Qin got a rare chance to breathe.

Second: Stabilize the rule of the Qin army in this area.

This aspect is mainly in the psychological shock:

If the Qin army is defeated in this battle, then Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries will rise up and make trouble one after another. As the saying goes, everyone pushes down the wall, and the push is quite vigorous and concerted, so the wall is easier to be pushed down.

However, it is another matter if the people know that the wall will not move.

The victory of the Qin army in this battle is to tell the people that the wall of Qin State has not yet collapsed, so no one is willing to be a "superior bird".

Third: The inclusion of Wei State into Qin State's territory will connect the three counties of Zhao State in the north and South Korea in the south and straighten the border.

This not only makes it easier for Qin to defend but also makes it easier for Qin to attack.

The easier defense is not only geographically, but also because the straightening of the border has at least saved Qin the [-] Qin troops that were originally deployed on the curved border of Wei.

At this time, the Qin army was in short supply, especially the three counties of Handan became a major weakness.

The saved [-] Qin soldiers were transferred to Handan...the big stone hanging in Ying Zheng's heart was also let go.

Needless to say, it is easier to attack. Wei is located in the center of the six countries and has a dense water network and a well-developed water conservancy irrigation system. In the future, it will undoubtedly attack the food supply bases of Chu and Qi.

At this time, in the six countries, Han, Zhao, and Wei had been destroyed one after another, and Yan and Dai had been beaten to half-mutilation, leaving only Chu and Qi.

If the country of Wei is not important, which country is more important? !

Therefore, this battle can be said to be a stroke of genius. It wiped out all the disadvantages of Qin State due to insufficient troops and insufficient preparation, leaving a good situation.

This made Ying Zhenglong very happy, and began to dream of unifying the Central Plains, a dream that the predecessors wanted to achieve but failed to achieve.

At this time, the guard came to report:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si is asking to see you."

Without even thinking about it, Ying Zheng said:

"See!"

During this period of time, Qin State had laid down too much territory too quickly, and Yingzheng needed one person to manage it.

But Li Si was the one who was good at domestic affairs, so Ying Zheng transferred him from Xianyang.

Li Si bowed down to Ying Zheng when he made money:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for coming to another country."

"Now that the State of Wei has been destroyed, our army only needs to rest for a period of time before sending troops to the State of Chu to avenge it."

There is a reason why Li Si didn't talk about Qi.

At this time, Qin State's strategy was to stabilize Qi State, that is, to maintain friendly relations with Qi State, so the whole country agreed not to talk about the attack on Qi State, so as not to be overheard by Qi State's spies.

On the other hand, Qi State is really nothing compared to Chu State, so let's not talk about it.

Of course Ying Zheng knew the meaning of Li Si's words, he nodded slightly and said:

"Prime Minister said well, the state of Wei will be the same as the state of Chu."

"From now on, who else can stand in my way?"

"The unification of the Central Plains is just around the corner..."

However, Li Si poured cold water on Yingzheng, and he bowed to Yingzheng Shi Shiran:

"Your Majesty, I think it's too early to say 'just around the corner' at this time."

Ying Zheng wondered:

"Why did the prime minister say that?"

"Chu's vitality has been severely damaged by this battle, and the domestic political situation is unstable."

"And Yan, Dai and other countries are just a group of Xiao Xiao..."

Liz replied:

"It's the Chu country that I'm worried about."

Ying Zheng said "Oh":

"Prime Minister thinks that Chu State still has the ability to resist my Great Qin Bingfeng?"

Li Sibei said:

"Your Majesty, although the battle of Daliang ended in a great victory for our army, it was a bit of a fluke."

"In particular, it also exposed a weakness of our army: not good at water warfare."

"And Chu State is densely covered with many lakes and water networks from Qinhuai below."

"At that time, the Chu State will use the strength of the navy to cooperate with the infantry. How does Your Majesty think our army can win?"

This question stumped Ying Zheng.

Li Si's analysis made sense. When the Qin army attacked the Wei state, they suffered a great loss from the water net and the Chu state's water army.

If this is to attack Chu State... then the water network will be even worse than that of Wei State.

In addition, there are many small ditches and canals in the water network of Wei State, while the tributaries and lakes of the Nahuai River and Yangtze River system in Chu State are naturally formed, and the hydrology is more complex and the navigation ability is better.

This means that it is more conducive to the Chu State's water army to fight. At that time, it is impossible for the Qin army to attack Chu with water again!

Ying Zheng frowned as he thought about it, and asked:

"So, can the prime minister have a solution?"

Liz replied:

"For today's plan, I think the only way is to prepare early."

"We should train a navy in the morning."

"At that time, we will not be at a loss when we go south to attack Chu!"

Chapter 155

Ying Zhengda nodded his head and said:

"It makes sense!"

But after thinking about it, I feel embarrassed again:

"But our army is good at fighting on foot but not at water."

"Now we are going to form a navy..."

Lis suggested:

"My minister heard that the Wei army has surrendered 20 troops."

"The State of Wei is a place with dense water networks. Although it has never formed a navy, the Bian River has the advantage of shipping."

"According to one's imagination, there should be quite a few people who can swim, build and operate a boat."

"Why don't I transfer capable people from the Wei army to form a water army?"

Ying Zheng nodded again and again:

"This method is very good, so we use the Wei army to form a navy."

Lis replied:

"It's just that the candidate for training the navy was none other than General Yang."

"But firstly, General Yang is busy with military affairs, and secondly, General Yang is not familiar with water warfare..."

Ying Zheng smiled "haha" and said:

"You don't need to worry about this, the prime minister, I have already chosen someone!"

At the same time, he secretly said:

First the water attacked Daliang, then the Chu army was flooded, and now the water army is formed...

Wonderful, wonderful!

This guy was indeed sent by the gods to help the widows unify the Central Plains, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? !

At that time, Shen Bing was drying the quilt with a frown.

It is true that the Qin army won this battle, but Shen Bing, who thought there was still a month left, was not ready. As a result, the duck feather quilt was soaked in the water as soon as the flood entered the city.

If it's sunny during this period, it's not a problem, just open it and put it on the roof to dry it.

But this ghost weather is either snowing or cloudy, and there is no possibility of drying.

In addition, during the day, we have to be busy repairing the fortifications of the city wall... Although the possibility of Chu State attacking at this time is already very small, the battlefield must be considered ahead anyway.

So there is no time during the day to bake at night.

The others are similar, except that the wheat stalk seems to be more convenient to be baked, just hang it by the fire.

What needs to be paid attention to is not to get too close to the fire and to turn over in time, otherwise a large piece of "crackling" will be burned accidentally.

Duck feathers are more troublesome to dry, but they are a handful of duck feathers. When will they be baked?

Fortunately, Meng Liang still has some methods, and told the guards to grab a handful and bake them carefully.

But because there are too many, both Shen Bing and Meng Liang need to share some.

Meng Liang smiled and said:

"The stingy man is also interesting, why don't you remind me before you flood the Chu army?"

"I only need to temporarily move the bedding to the roof, and I can save a lot of trouble at this time!"

Shen Bing sighed:

"How can I say this?"

Meng Liang came to his senses when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing a few times in embarrassment:

"That's right, that's right!"

Cang asked excitedly from the side:

"Brother, is the rumor from the outside world true?"

"You really have Lei Gong to help you?"

Shen Bing answered angrily:

"Really! Not only Thunder God, but also Mother Lightning!"

The craftsmen laughed together with a "coax".

Don't want "the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention", the gossip spread immediately the next day:

"It is said that Shen Bing has Mother Dian to help him!"
