In the city of the Great Beam.

"Great King, our kingdom did not want to start a war again, but the widow hated Gan Mao for his treachery, and heard that Gan Mao was taken in by the king after leaving the Qin State, so he sent an army of 300,000 to arrest Gan Mao.

Therefore, the minister hoped that the king would not embarrass the kingdom and hand over Ganmao, and then the kingdom would withdraw its troops immediately without hesitation. ”

Wei Wangyu listened to the request of the Chu envoy and sneered in his heart.

What does it mean not to start a war again, when Gan Mao was still in the Qin State before, then Tang Wu had already stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Chencheng to peep at Daliang, at that time, Tang Wu could not have been to defend the southern border for the Wei State.

Also, Gan Mao was the one he welcomed into the national capital with a heavy gift, so he handed it over like this, and he would be ashamed.

Thinking about it, Wei Wang Yun sneered: "If Tang Yu wants to attack Daliang, then come directly to attack the city, the widow is waiting for him at the head of the city, break the city, and catch the widow, that is his ability, don't make any excuses, make life laugh in vain." ”

After saying that, Wei Wangjun waved his hand directly: "Come on, drive this messenger out and prepare for battle." ”

Soon, outside the city, the Chu army was in the array.

"King Wei does not agree to hand over Gan Mao!" When Tang Yu heard the envoy's report, he was not surprised.

"Pass my general order, beat the drum, challenge the Wei State, and invite the Wei army to go out of the city to fight."

"No."

As the war drums of the Chu army sounded, all the Wei people on the Daliang city wall did not react.

After the three drums, Tang Yu saw that the Wei people had never left the city, so he smiled and said: "The Wei people are already afraid, and they dare not go out of the city to fight. ”

Next.

Tang Yu once again led the army to challenge, but as a result, the Wei people still held the city and did not come out.

When the troops were collected and returned to the camp, Yin Jun asked hesitantly: "Zhuguo, we have challenged the Wei people for two days in a row, but the Wei people have never come out, according to the following opinion, the Wei people will not leave the city."

I wonder what Zhuguo plans to do next? ”

"It's good not to go out of the city, what I want is that the Wei people don't go out of the city." Tang Mo smiled and asked Yin Jun, "Yin Jun, do you know what our purpose is in sending troops to attack Wei this time?" ”

Yin Jun responded as a matter of course: "Take revenge on the Wei State and send troops to attack Chu, and by the way, force the Wei people to hand over Gan Mao." ”

Tang Yu smiled when he heard this, others only knew that this time the army was sent to attack Wei to take revenge on Wei, but in fact, the most important purpose of this army was to show off his might to all countries in the world, and also to take advantage of the fact that Wei Wang Wei had just ascended the throne to hit his prestige, increase the difficulty of his control of Wei, and prolong the time for Wei to send troops to attack again, so as to provide a relaxed external condition for the changes within Chu.

Now that Qin and Qi have made peace with Chu, and Han and Song have surrendered, the remaining Wei State, which has lost its vitality, is a chicken used to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Thinking about it, Tang Mo nodded and said: "Yes, the purpose of this army is to take revenge on the Wei State, and the king means to weaken the Wei State and strengthen the Chu State." ”

"Weaken the Wei State and strengthen the Chu State?" Yin Jun was stunned for a moment and asked, "How does the king want to strengthen my Chu State?" ”

When Tang Yu heard this, he pointed to the map hanging in the camp tent and said, "The king means to plunder the population of Wei. ”

As he spoke, Tang Yu walked to the side of the map and lightly scratched the position of the beam: "As we all know, Qi, Wei, Han, Song and other countries, although the place is small, but the population is dense, and my Chu country, although there is a land of 7,000 miles, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, so the most important purpose of our in-depth Wei this time is to rob the population."

The reason why the king sent all the ships of the sailors and the transport ships in the country was to serve as a transport ship after our raid on the population, so that we could transport the people back to China. ”

"Raid the population!" Yin Jun nodded thoughtfully, this is what the Chu State did when it attacked the Qi State before, and now it is not a big deal to do it again on the land of the Wei State.

The officers and men of the Chu army are all familiar with the road, and with the shortcut of the chasm, it is much more convenient to transport than in the Qi country.

After seeing that Yin Jun had no objections, Tang Yu ordered: "Yin Jun, tell the soldiers that tomorrow the division will attack the prison, and after breaking through the city, the whole city will be sacked, and all the looted property will be divided among the army, and the robbed population will be handed over to the state." ”

"Yes, General, I'll arrange it now."

Next.

Tang Wu once again led his troops to surround Daliang and ordered an invitation to battle.

At this time, on the wall of the Great Liang, although the Wei State found that the number of Chu troops outside the city was a little less, it only thought that this was a conspiracy of the Chu people, and still did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

In the middle of the day, a scout rushed to the girder.

"Newspaper... The king, the urgent report, today there was a large force of Chu army outside the city, because of the lack of defenders in the city, the Chu army easily broke through the city wall, and now the city has been lost. ”

"What? Chu Jun went to prison? What is the situation? Wei Wang's heart was shocked, he had been guarding the city wall for the past three days, trembling and not daring to slack off, and as a result, the Chu people went to the prison.

Thinking about it, Wei Wangyun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had been deceived by the Chu people.

At this time, General Ni Liang spoke: "Don't worry, the king, this is the Chu people's plan to lure the enemy, in order to lure us out of the beam, we must not mess with ourselves."

Moreover, the city of Confined Central is near the left of Daliang, and the plan of clearing the wilderness has been implemented, and even if the Chu people conquer Confined Zhong, they will not be able to get supplies and money and grain in the treasury.

Therefore, the Chu people attacked other cities, and the command was in vain, and they got nothing. ”

When the king of Wei heard this, he immediately settled down and responded: "Yes, this is the Chu people's plan to lure the enemy, continue to hold on to the main beam, and do not go out of the city to fight, so as not to fall into the tricks of the Chu people." ”

"Only ······"

That night, Yin Jun returned with a full load.

"Zhuguo, the confinement is really empty, and we have only suffered dozens of casualties before we broke through the city." After Yin Jun smiled, his face was slightly stiff and said: "However, the population in the city is also a little large, and in order to completely eliminate the resistance of the Wei people, I lost more than two hundred people in the city. ”

After that, Yin Jun was overjoyed and said: "Fortunately, these losses are worth it, according to the classic records of the confinement, there are 7,000 households in the confined city alone, with a population of more than 50,000, which is already about the same as the population of a small county."

And today, I have joined forces with General Shen Yifu to escort all the people in the city onto the ship, and when these people arrive in Chen Land tomorrow, then they will be the people of my Chu State. ”

"Okay." Tang Yu was overjoyed and said: "The Wei State is really rich, and there are so many people in just one city. Tomorrow we will make persistent efforts to attack Jiaocheng in the south-central region. ”

"No."

The next five days.

The Chu army first attacked Jiaocheng, Kezhi, and then surrounded Wei's and Kezhi, and the soldiers entered Yangwu, Kezhi, and raided Tongxu and Kezhi.

After the Chu army conquered the city, it relied on the convenience of the chasm waterway to relocate the people in the city and transfer them to Chu by boat.

For a time, the chasm was full of ships heading south and north, and they were not resting day and night, so it was not lively.
