April 6, 257 BC.

Ching ming festival.

During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot.

A steady drizzle fell from the sky, and the entire city of Daliang was covered in dense raindrops.

Northwest of Daliang City.

Li Mu stood in place, completely ignoring the rain falling from the sky, and looked at Daliang City in front of him with a calm expression, looking sad and joyless, as if he was looking at a city that had nothing to do with him

But Xu Li, the deputy general of the Zhao army standing beside Li Mu, was obviously not as calm as Li Mu.

Xu Li said to Li Mu with some concern: "General, can this matter really be successful?" ”

Li Mu waved his hand confidently, sprinkled a raindrop, and said to Xu Li in a categorical tone: "The general is in charge of himself, rest assured, this time the Wei people are in a catastrophe. ”

But it was obvious that Xu Li was not reassured, he looked at the gap that appeared out of thin air in front of him, and his expression looked a little worried.

Since the siege of Daliang City, Li Mu's main concern was not about the attack on the city, on the contrary, Li Mu sent some soldiers to participate in the siege, and the rest of the people were all used as civilian laborers.

Since he is a migrant worker, he obviously has to do some big projects, and what Li Mu is facing is such a super big project.

In front of the two, thousands of soldiers of the Zhao State sweated like rain and worked hard to dig.

With the hard work of these Zhao soldiers for half a month, a large canal that is several miles long has appeared in front of everyone.

It only takes a little more digging to completely divert the turbulent Yellow River, flooding Daliang City into a water town!

In fact, at this moment, it was not only his deputy general Xu Li who was standing by Li Mu's side, but there was also another person.

This person is naturally Jin Huang, the chief general of the Korean army who is responsible for leading 100,000 South Korean troops to fight with Li Mu this time.

At this moment, Jin Di looked at the scene in front of him, and he was also shocked.

Jin Huang was only invited here today.

In the past half a month, Jin Huang spent most of his time in charge of the attack on Daliang City.

Regarding Li Mu's arrangement, in fact, Jin Huang didn't have many opinions.

After all, the number of South Korean troops is obviously the majority of the combined forces of Zhao and South Korea, and for some reason, Jin Huang does not want his army to be controlled by the Zhao people.

Therefore, Jin Huang was mentally prepared for the South Korean army to act as the main offensive force before he set out on the expedition.

There is no doubt that Jin Huang is actually a very responsible general.

It is precisely because of his responsibility that Jin Huang has been eating and living in the camp of the Korean army these days, and personally commanding the offensive against Daliang City.

Jin Huang knew very well that as long as he captured Daliang City, then Wei Wangyu would definitely not be able to escape.

As long as Wei Wangyu is captured, then whether Wei Wuji is willing or not, Wei must ask for peace.

And on the other hand, if the Wei Qi coalition army is allowed to break through Handan first. Then the losing side of this war becomes the state of Zhao.

But what made Jin Huang angry was that since the order to siege the city was issued, Li Mu did not appear in the position on the front line most of the time, and completely let Jin Huang be responsible for directing the attack on Daliang City.

Forget it, what made Jin Di feel even worse was that the siege of the Zhao army, which was responsible for attacking the west and north city walls, had been dragging mud and water these days, grinding and grinding, and half-heartedly, and there was no sign of serious siege at all.

This made Jin Di's heart feel very speechless.

Obviously, the city surrounded by the Wei Qi coalition army is Handan of Zhao State, and the monarch who is under siege is also Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, but why do these Zhao people not look anxious at all?

After enduring it for half a month, Jin Di finally couldn't bear it anymore at all, and was about to come to the door to question him in person, when he happened to receive an invitation from Li Mu.

Then Jin Huang came.

What Jin Di never expected was that after he came to the Zhao Jun camp, he would see such an amazing scene.

The section of the Yellow River in front of Jin Huang was supposed to pass by a few miles away from the northwest corner of Daliang City, and it went all the way east without stopping.

But at this moment, Li Mu led tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers to dig a large canal for several miles after half a month of fighting, leading the water of the Yellow River to the nose of Daliang City.

The Yellow River, the Yellow River, the river on the ground!

The topography of the Yellow River is much higher than that of Daliang City.

Therefore, as long as this canal is completed, the turbulent Yellow River water will be condescending, and it will hit Daliang City with the momentum of falling from the sky!

Jin Huang opened his mouth wide, and only came back to his senses after a long time, and said to Li Mu in a slightly trembling tone: "General Li Mu wants to emulate the story of Wu Anjun's breaking Chu back then?" ”

When Wu Anjun Bai Qi attacked Yandu, the capital of Chu State, he dug a long canal and directly led the flood to flood Yandu, drowning most of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yandu.

In the "Notes on the Book of Water", the battle is described as "the northeast corner of the city collapsed by the water, and the people died in the east of the city with the water, hundreds of thousands, and the east of the city was stinky, because of the name of the stinky pool." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and nodded very smugly: "Yes, General Ben is just going to flood this Daliang City!" ”

Jin Di's body shook violently, his face became extremely pale, and after a long time, he said to Li Mu in a somewhat trembling voice: "But General Li Mu, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this Great Liang City. ”

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Jin Huang certainly knew what would happen in the city once it was flooded by Li Mushui.

Once that really happens, then it will be an eye-opener for one-tenth of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Daliang City to survive.

This is a complete massacre.

Of course, according to logic and past experience, if Daliang City is really breached, then at least half of the inhabitants of this city will have to die.

But in Jin Di's opinion, even if half of the people are going to die, it is better than more than 90% of the people who are all dead.

Therefore, Jin Huang hoped that through his own efforts, he could persuade Li Mu to give up such an idea of flooding Daliang City.

Li Mu listened to Jin Di's words. His face suddenly became serious.

The general, who had already been entrusted with important tasks by Zhao Dan at a young age, quietly stared at Jin Di in front of him, and the light in his eyes was very dazzling, making Jin Huang feel that he didn't dare to look directly.

"The general thinks it's too brutal for me to flood Daliang City?"

Jin Huang coughed dryly and said, "General Li Mu, I just think ...... Maybe there is a better way, such as siege. ”

"Siege?" Li Mu laughed, and after a long while, he suppressed his laughter, and looked at Jin Huang in front of him with sarcastic eyes: "Has the general ever thought that if this siege battle continues, it will be the soldiers of Korea and Zhao who will die!" Could it be that the general had to live for the lives of these Wei people, and the soldiers of Korea and Zhao could not die in vain? ”

Jin Huang opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he couldn't refute Li Mu's words.

That's right, does Jin Huang want to use the death of the soldiers of the Zhao and Han coalition forces in exchange for the survival of the soldiers and civilians in those places in Daliang City?

Jin Di's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but say, "But ......"

"No, but!" Li Mu sneered and continued: "If Wei Wuji can have a chance to flood Handan, then does General Jin Huang think Wei Wuji will let go of such an opportunity? Li Mu is an out-and-out warrior, he only knows how to faithfully fulfill the order of my king, and do his best to break the city as soon as possible! If this Daliang City can be broken through one day earlier, then the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao State in Handan City will be able to free themselves from the threat of Wei Wuji's troops one day sooner! ”

"So, don't say it's a big Liang city in this area, even if one day, I will flood all Xianyang, Linzi, Chen Ying, and Ji, so what's the matter?"

After Li Mu said this, he no longer looked at Jin Di, who was pale, but directly summoned the herald and issued an order destined to go down in history in this continuous drizzle.

"Give General Ben an order to go down, dig a canal, and release water to flood the city!"
