Chapter 351 The Plan to Aid Wei
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, Jian Wuji also hurried to the round and said, "Wen'er, you don't know how powerful your husband is, when he caught you, he showed mercy to your subordinates." ”
Wen'er said with a smile: "Even if he showed mercy to his subordinates at that time, I don't think he is more powerful than Han Teng, because if Han Teng wants to arrest me, he doesn't have to do anything at all, if he can prove that he is indeed more powerful than Han Teng, then it's nothing to let me surrender." ”
Gao Yuan was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I can prove it to you." ”
Jian Wuji was also startled, leaned over, grabbed Gao Yuan's hand, and said, "Husband, you ......"
Gao Yuan patted her hand lightly and said, "If it's just for a while, it should be fine, do you want to avoid it, so as not to scare you for a while." ”
Sword Dance Ji shook her head and said, "No need, I'm sure my husband won't hurt me." ”
Gao Yuan nodded, suddenly turned his head, looked at Wen'er, and said, "Wen'er, look at me." ”
Wen'er suddenly felt a powerful and terrifying momentum, full of murderous momentum, and even Gao Yuan's eyes suddenly turned red, as if a fierce god had descended into the world. Wen'er only felt like a thousand pounds of weight on her shoulders, and her breathing was short, her whole body was weak, her heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't help but scream with an "ah".
Fortunately, Gao Yuan didn't dare to use Chi You's power for too long, seeing that he had frightened Wen'er, he immediately stopped, and his anger dissipated suddenly, but Wen'er was still slumped on the seat, sweating profusely, her face was pale, her eyes were still full of fear, and she couldn't stop gasping.
And Sword Dance Ji hurriedly asked, "Husband, what do you think?" ”
Gao Yuan also let out a long breath, shook his head, and said, "It's okay." He smiled again and said, "But today I don't necessarily need you to help resolve Yu's influence?" ”
Jian Wuji's face turned red, she glanced at Gao Yuan with disgust, and was about to speak, when someone outside the door said, "Lord, General Zhao asks to see." ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said to Jian Wuji: "You take care of her, I'll go out and meet General Zhao first." ”
Sword Dance Ji said, "Yes." ”
Gao Yuan left the room and came to the study, only to see Zhao Xuan holding more than a dozen bamboo slips and two silk cloth maps in his hand, and said: "The bamboo slips record the situation of the Wei State, and these two silk cloth maps, one is the map of the entire Wei State, and the other is the city defense layout map of Daliang City. ”
Seeing these things, Gao Yuan was also greatly surprised, and said, "General Zhao, where did these things come from?" ”
Zhao Xuan said with a smile: "These are all collected by the Great General back then. ”
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "It was collected by the general." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded and said: "In the Battle of Fei that year, the general was the first to break the Qin army, and after the Qin army was defeated and retreated, the Qin State was afraid that the general would take advantage of the victory to attack Qin, so he ordered the Wei and Han coalition forces to attack Zhao, and the Wei and Han coalition forces were naturally defeated by the general, but they were unable to attack the Qin State anymore. ”
Gao Yuan said: "This plan is not bad, at that time, the Qin State was newly defeated and was unable to aid Wei, if it could seize the land of Wei and expand the national power of Zhao, it was also a very good thing, why didn't it be implemented?" ”
Zhao Xuan said: "The king of Wei sent people to Zhao to ask for peace, and made people buy Guo Kai, also known as the high and thick city wall of the Great Liang, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the general Juli struggled, saying that he had a plan to break through the Great Liang, but the king of Zhao still accepted the five cities ceded by the Wei State, and made peace with the Wei State. ”
Gao Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly when he heard this.
Zhao Xuan said: "Although I didn't attack Wei, but these materials were also retained at that time, because Yinghong was still young at that time, so these things were handed over to me for safekeeping, and later when we left Handan, I also brought them out and put them in the warehouse, I heard you say that you need the information of Wei, so I found them all, although these materials were collected five or six years ago, but there will not be much change, and these two lands should be reusable." ”
Gao Yuan also nodded again and again, "Great, these things are exactly what I need." So I immediately opened the map and looked at it carefully.
In the early days of the Warring States Period, the Wei State was once extremely strong, and its national strength was once the first of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and its territory spanned both sides of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, basically including most of the entire Henan, the southern part of Shanxi, and parts of Shaanxi and Hebei.
However, after more than 140 years of development, it has been completely weakened, and now the territory of Wei is only a region centered on the national capital Daliang, and it is basically south of the Yellow River. The area of the country is actually a little smaller than the current four counties of Daijun, and the population is only more than 2.5 million, which can only be regarded as a medium-sized country, and it is not even comparable to Yan State.
At present, the Wei State generally maintains a regular army of about 100,000, and if it is mobilized urgently, it can dispatch up to 300,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness of the Wei army, Li Mu's evaluation is: not as good as Qin and Zhao, but above Han Yan, it is roughly equivalent to the Chu army, and has a certain combat effectiveness. In addition, Li Mu also made some introductions to the main generals of Wei, but he did not have a high evaluation of these people, thinking that they were not generals, although now five or six years have passed, and some of them may be replaced, but it is not a worry.
In the fifth year of the Marquis of Wei (391 BC), the Marquis of Wei called on Korea and Zhao to form a coalition to attack the Chu State, and defeated the Chu army in Daliang and Yuguan (now Zhongmu County, Henan). and seized the Great Liang and incorporated it into the version of the Wei State.
By the time of King Wei Hui, the Qin State gradually rose, in order to seize the Xihe County of the Wei State, repeatedly fought with the Wei State, and Anyi was too close to the Qin State, vulnerable to attack, and the Daliang City was bordered by the Yellow River in the north, and the Fengze Lake in the south, and the water and land routes were all extended in all directions, and there was a convenient location, so in the sixth year of the King Hui of Wei (364 BC), the capital was moved to Daliang City. So the state of Wei was also known as the state of Liang, and the king of Wei Hui was also known as the king of Liang Hui.
In fact, the plateau still has some understanding of the topography of the Wei State, because the national capital of the Wei State, Daliang, is the first Kaifeng City in Henan in later generations. It is also a famous ancient capital, with flat terrain, many surrounding rivers and convenient transportation, and is an important central city for China's north-south travel. It is indeed a good place to build a capital and establish a country.
However, the traffic is developed and the terrain is flat, which also causes the Daliang area to be located in the plain wilderness, basically no danger to defend, easy to attack and difficult to defend, so the Chu State built a tall and strong city wall in the Daliang City, and after the Wei Hui King moved the capital, the Wei State went through several years of painstaking management, and built the Daliang City on a grand scale and extremely strong. As a result, in a land that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack has been built, as long as there are enough troops, food and supplies, this is almost an impregnable city.
According to the map of Daliang City drawn by Li Mu, Daliang City is arranged in a square, the length of one side reaches nearly eight miles, there are twelve city gates, the city wall is about five zhang high, nearly four zhang thick, and there is a moat around the city to communicate on all sides. The main street in the city could be parallel to ten carriages, with more than 400,000 residents, at that time, only Linzi, the capital of Qi State, could be compared, and even now, more than a hundred years later, only Xianyang, the capital of Qin, can be added.
Moreover, the Wei State spent more than 20 years in the management of the Great Liang at the same time, digging the gap between the Yellow River and the Huai River, repairing the fields, connecting the northern and southern waters, forming a criss-crossing dense river network, diversion and irrigation, the land around the Great Liang is very fertile, and the production is very large, although the territory of the Wei State is shrinking, but because there are many fertile fields around the Great Liang, it can still afford to support a large number of people.
However, Gao Yuan knew that although the city defense of Daliang was strong, it had a fatal weakness, that is, the terrain was low, and it was located on the edge of the Yellow River, so as long as the beam was attacked by water, the city would inevitably be broken. In another time and space, when the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, it was blocked under the fortified city of Daliang, and finally led the Yellow River water to irrigate, and it took another three months to break through Daliang.
Therefore, Li Mu wrote a sentence on the side of the map of Daliang City: "If you attack Hanoi by land, you will destroy Daliang if you attack by water!" It also amazed the plateau, and he really deserved to be the best famous general in the late Warring States period. At a glance, you can see the Achilles heel of Daliang City.
Of course, if you want to attack Daliang by water, you must first occupy the estuary and gain the advantage of geography, that is, to capture Hedong first, occupy the Chenggao fortress, and block the land in Hanoi of Wei; Then use the light boat sailor to break the Xingyang estuary and flood the girder; Then break the mouth of the Baimajin River and flood the plain outside the river. Therefore, the two sentences left by Li Mu basically summarized the plan for attacking Daliang.
The topography of the girder has been decided, and this is basically an unsolvable solution, because this is the congenital deficiency of the girder, and water attack is the biggest weakness of the girder. Therefore, if you want to defend Daliang City, you must do the opposite according to the plan proposed by Li Mu, not only in Daliang City, but also in Chenggao, Xingyang, Xingkou and other areas along the Yellow River.
In another time and space, the Wei State perished, and it was precisely because the Wei army completely abandoned the stronghold outside Daliang City and blindly trapped the lonely city, as a result, the Qin army could calmly break the water to irrigate the city, in this sense, in fact, even if the Qin army did not attack with water, Daliang City was difficult to hold, because in the absence of foreign aid, no matter how strong the city defense of Daliang City was, no matter how much grain and grass materials were reserved, there would always be a day when it ran out. The two sides are nothing more than fighting to consume, to see who can consume whom, but Wei must not be able to consume Qin, you must know that during the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao spent more than three years, and now Qin's strength is almost the same as at that time, and even slightly stronger, and now Wei is far from Zhao at that time.
Therefore, after reading the materials left by Li Mu, Gao Yuan also roughly drew up a battle plan in Wei.
