The first thousand two hundred and sixty-one chapters
"King!"
"Wei Jiu's plan is to mobilize the main force of Daliang City to defend the last chasm pass as much as possible and prevent the streams of water from gathering in Daliang City."
"It may damage various waterways and affect the water circulation of Daliang City, but... it will be effective after all."
Facing the king's gaze, Wei Jiu frowned and thought a little. In fact, he had considered this issue before and claimed that Wei Mou's strategy was actually appropriate.
However, he was unable to defeat the Qin army's resourcefulness.
As a result, if there is a previous defeat, the best strategy is to deploy troops to defend Central Africa!
"The special water flow leading into the Mastiff Palace must also be cut off?"
King Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Jiu, feeling something was wrong.
The common people only use water. The key point is that the water used in the Mastiff Palace is specially brought from a mountain water canal outside the city, and is guarded by dedicated personnel. Only in this way can the miraculous growth of these mastiff dogs be ensured.
Sure enough, if the water channel is cut off, the water in the Mastiff Palace will be gone.
"Your Majesty, as long as we survive the flood season, we can recover."
Wei Jiu took a deep breath, cupped his fists and saluted again.
"How long will it take?"
The king of Wei asked lightly, saying he was not optimistic about this strategy.
"It can take as little as two months, or as long as half a year!"
Wei Jiu responded.
"inappropriate!"
"inappropriate!"
"The time is too long, and the troops are deployed outside, wouldn't it mean that only a partial force would be left to defend the city? Sure enough, Wang Ben will come with a strange army, wouldn't Daliang City be in danger?"
Hearing this, King Wei waved his hands violently again. The time was too long. He could bear it, but the mastiffs around him couldn't bear it. Moreover... they had to mobilize troops outside, so Daliang City would be empty.
This time...no matter what, the soldiers and horses must stay in Daliang City!
I don’t want the military remonstrance thing to happen again!
"Your Majesty, the danger of Daliang City lies not in the city's defenses, but in the floods."
This time, Lao Shicheng clearly did not mention Lord Xinling. With Daliang City's status as the first city in the Xia Dynasty, even if Wang Ben had a surprise attack, he should not be afraid.
"Short-sighted."
"The city wall of Daliang is high and thick. King Huiwen spent a lot of money to build it. There is a lot of food and property in the treasury."
"In the past, small Jimo could hold on for six years, and Daliang City could hold on for at least ten years!"
"In ten years, hasn't the situation changed again in the Xia Dynasty? Qi State and Chu State have not come to the rescue of Wei State? However... defending the city requires a large number of soldiers. Sure enough, many soldiers have left the city and are in the gap. How can a partial army defend it?
"
"Not to mention, now that the main force of the Wei State has been exhausted by Wei Mou, and indeed the remaining soldiers are gone, doesn't the Wei State have no support at all?"
The king of Wei spoke suddenly and refuted Wei Jiu's words about deploying troops in the northern section of the chasm. He was also somewhat dissatisfied with the old prime minister's strategy, which was all useless talk.
These are all short-sighted talks.
Looking at Xi Cheng and Wei Jiu beside him, he felt a little dissatisfied.
"My king's wish is that the entire army will defend the city for at least ten years?"
"With our military strength, we can't protect ourselves day and night?"
Lao Shicheng felt that he understood what the king meant.
"Old Prime Minister, you are so clear."
King Wei thought that what he just said was quite shocking, and then he praised Lao Shicheng greatly.
However... Wei Jiu's face turned dark and he didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Defend the city for ten years?"
"What do you think, General?"
Seeing that Wei Jiu didn't respond, Old Shicheng couldn't help but come closer and whisper.
"It is unheard of to defend a city without external defense!"
Wei Jiu now wonders why the late king chose Wei Jie in the first place. If Wei Jie was not older and took the position of crown prince, what would be the current situation of Wei?
Defend the city for ten years?
Over the past three generations and thousands of years, no one has defended the city for more than ten years.
Moreover, when Qi State defended the city of Jimo for six years, it was not simply defending the city. It was because there was a problem with the external five-nation coalition. Otherwise, if the five nations were integrated and Jimo could sustain it for six months, it would be considered capable.
"That's unreasonable!"
"Did Jimo have any external defenses back then? How could it hold on for six years?"
The king of Wei pretended to be cool and was a little dissatisfied with Wei Jiu's insistence on deploying troops to defend the country.
"Jimo is not without defense, but it is powerless."
"Jimo's ability to hold out for six years was due to the chaos of the Five Kingdoms."
"Whether our army can defend it or not, doesn't it mean that we just allow the Qin army to use water attacks?"
Wei Jiu retorted, and now... he could see that if he didn't refute, there was no chance that the king would come up with any new ideas next.
"You are called General of Daliang in vain. Don't you know that if you defend the fortress of the chasm and if the two armies fight, the river will burst faster. And for such a long time, how can Daliang City sustain itself without water?"
King Wei thought that the ideas he just mentioned were all good.
Immediately, he refuted Wei Jiu.
"If so, I'm afraid Daliang City will really be flooded next!"
When Wei Jiu heard this, he still had a lot to say in his heart, but... he didn't want to say it anymore. He counted his breaths silently, and then sighed softly.
"Um?"
"Speaking of which, I have some magic soldiers to help me!"
However..., the next moment, King Wei was overjoyed. He squatted down again, looked at the mastiff beside him, and suddenly clapped his hands together.
"Magic weapon?"
Lao Shicheng was puzzled, looking a little shocked and confused.
Wei Jiu said nothing.
"Of course!"
King Wei responded with a fake smile.
"Don't you hear that in the "Five Tribulations of Heaven and Man" mentioned by Emperor Xuan Qingzi, there are also mastiff dogs that have become sacred. Now, there are hundreds of mastiff dogs in my Mastiff Palace."
"Sure enough, wouldn't it be better to send five hundred Mastiff Divine Soldiers out of Daliang City to defend the northern section of the chasm day and night? They will also be sharper than those soldiers."
The king of Wei thought that he liked mastiff dogs, but it was Haotian who gave him a warning to let them make great contributions to the country of Wei. Now, it was their chance to make great contributions.
"It's just..., as expected, the mastiff is making some noise, what should I do?"
Lao Shicheng felt that he had somewhat understood the king's intention.
"If there is any movement, the army will naturally attack!"
King Wei pretended to wave with one hand.
"This... seems to be inappropriate."
Lao Xichen thought about it and realized that it was not impossible.
"Hahaha."
King Wei patted the mastiff next to him again, and looked at the mastiff with even more joy. Sure enough, Haotian had given him a warning, and now it was their turn to help.
Wei Jiu didn't say a word and just listened quietly. His face was getting darker and darker. Under the clear sky, drops of sweat were flowing on his forehead and falling to the ground along with his heavy armor.
"Sir, Xiang Liang's 100,000 troops have arrived at Shangcai, near the southern border of Wei State. According to reports from scouts, documents have been submitted to Daliang City."
The Land of Wuyang has been here for some time.
Nothing major happened. Instead, with the 5,000 elite troops here, plus the subsequent troops coming from Yingchuan County and Nanyang County, the government actually sent officials to prepare to rectify this place.
As for the City of Wuyang, there is not much change, but there are slightly more soldiers coming and going. At first glance, it seems to be a lot more lively, but in fact it is not much different from before.
The left and right sides just came out from here and built a road with water and stone for future use.
In a small courtyard, Zhou Qingzheng was sitting quietly in a pavilion, his whole body shining with purple mysterious light, his spirit blending into the heaven and earth, comprehending the nature of heaven and earth, and wonderfully understanding the mysterious method.
"What's going on in Daliang City?"
With the departure of hundreds of scholars, there was no help from all parties in Daliang City. It was even heard that the King of Wei pretended to hunt down the people who had previously clamored against Wei Mou.
In this way, there is no need to say much about the situation in Daliang City.
His eyes were still closed, but he opened them, heard Qian Hong's words, and asked casually.
"Chaos has spread in Daliang City. The prince Wei Jiutian of the royal family has been appointed as the general of Daliang City. Together with Prime Minister Shicheng, he has been reorganizing the military and political affairs. However... he can only barely maintain the situation in Daliang City."
Bai Qianhong was dressed in a purple dress, with a jade belt around her waist and a bright jade hairpin. Her hair was falling like clouds. She felt the mysterious aura rippling around her body and moved slowly so as not to disturb her practice.
"Where is the King of Wei?"
Zhou Qing smiled softly on his face. Now that all the power in Daliang City belongs to him, he must do something to alleviate the declining situation in Daliang City. At least Daliang City is in danger, and he himself is in danger.
Could it be that this is not clear at all?
"At this moment... I'm afraid I'm still in the Mastiff Palace, playing with those mastiff dogs."
"In Daliang Royal City, there is also news that since Wei Jie came to power, he spent one of the ten days in the Mastiff Palace, keeping company with those mastiff dogs."
Mentioning this, the corners of Bai Qianhong's lips raised slightly, revealing a different kind of smile. He was approaching death without knowing it, and he was still drunk and dreaming of death. It was really... the Wei Kingdom should be destroyed.
"The feuding princes, the decline of the temples of various countries, and the decline of national power are all related to the evil habits of the king."
"King Kuai of Yan was so fond of the ancient false reputation that he allowed Dali to disrupt the affairs of the Yan State. Without the power of King Zhao of Yan, the Yan State would have long ago disappeared, and he would not have been able to nearly destroy Qi."
"More than ten years ago, King Henghui of South Korea was so fond of Shen Buha's tactics that he gave the land of Shangdang promised to Qin to Zhao. The battle of Changping was fought. Later, Fei Zhou defended himself, and the hydraulic engineers tired Qin.
The plan is really funny."
"King Xuan of Qi State is very good at the arts of hundreds of schools. However, the academy under Jixia supports famous people from hundreds of schools, but... there are not even one or two people from the academy above the temple!"
"King Xuan of the Chu State liked the wonders of the stars, and he used the quality of tortoise shells to determine the way of diplomatic relations between countries!"
"Zhao Qian of the State of Zhao was born dirty and disorderly, which led to the Handan Rebellion!"
"But it's the Wei State that has had this habit from generation to generation since King Hui. It's really strange!"
At this point, Zhou Qing also smiled.
In theory, although it cannot be said to be the main reason, it is still somewhat interesting.
"The State of Wei...has a bad habit from generation to generation?"
Bai Qianhong was a little surprised. Most of the things he cultivated were ghost valleys, but he had not done any in-depth research on the habits and habits of the kings of various countries. The young master's words seemed to have a profound meaning.
"King Hui of Wei State was very fond of jewels and jade. In the past, King Wei of Qi discussed the national treasure with him. King Hui regarded pearls as treasures, while Qi regarded talents as treasures. Watching his behavior, it turned out to be like this."
"King Wei Xiang loves stallions and is quite good at looking at horses!"
"King Ai of Wei was very fond of craftsmen. Now in the palace of Daliang City, there are three palaces built under his personal supervision. There is indeed something wonderful about it."
"King Wei Zhao was very fond of warriors, especially the style of Beihu, so much so that the costumes in Daliang City still exist today."
"Wang Anli of Wei loves beauties, and his temperament is similar to that of Zhao Qian!"
"King Jinghua of Wei was very fond of elixirs. He was a remnant of the Yin Yang family Zou Yan who entered the Wei Kingdom."
"I don't want to..., now Wei pretends to be very fond of mastiffs, hahaha, isn't it interesting?"
