"My old minister has one last piece of advice. If the king cares for the people in the city, then open the city and surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nanzheng will be flooded, and I don't know how many people will die by then."
"The water flooded Nanzheng!" Peng Jiang was shocked.
In fact, this has always been a secret spread between the Peng and Peng Wei royal families.
When they first chose the capital, they took a fancy to the rich land here. However, after the capital was built, problems ensued. The surrounding rivers were too dense, and they would converge and cause a flood every few years.
In desperation, the Peng and Wei royal families could only ask the Mohists to help them build the city, and this was how Nanzheng City was built today.
However, flooding in the surrounding area still exists.
Although the construction of the city can withstand natural floods, if someone deliberately dug a river channel to flood it with drinking water, the low-lying terrain of Nanzheng City would probably be flooded instantly.
Peng Wei collapsed on the ground, his whole body filled with fear.
"No, most of Dashang's generals are from the north and would not easily think of water attacks!"
Chen He sneered: "Which of the generals of Dashang is not a figure who dominates the world? If you pick one at random, he can destroy the country. What's more, all the generals who can fight are here this time, isn't there any one who can?
Thinking of attacking with water?"
Speaking of this, Chen He's expression changed slightly.
"No, they may have already thought of it! I remember that the person who was the vanguard of the siege this time was named Sima Wu. He is the son of Sima Shang. Others may not think of water attack, but he can definitely think of it."
The father and son were completely desperate, and they immediately had the idea of leaving the city and surrendering. In that case, it would be better than drowning in the flood.
Moreover, in terms of surrender, Liang Guozi Zhang had already set an example for them.
Not only did he become a general, he could continue to lead troops in wars, but he was also granted the title of Duke of Liang!
If he surrenders, at most he will lose his title as a prince, and it would be better to become a duke instead.
At this moment, a partial general rolled and crawled into the prison.
"Your Majesty, it's not good! The vanguard camp of the merchant army shouted at the bottom of the city, asking us to open the city quickly and surrender, otherwise we will flood the city."
Peng Jiang was completely panicked: "Quick! Immediately order people to open the city gate and tell the merchant army who is shouting that I am willing to surrender!"
Chen He was a little surprised. This kind of strategy of taking advantage of the right time and place was originally intended to take people by surprise, but he didn't expect that the Shang Army would send someone to shout out the news.
But after a moment, Chen He felt relieved.
"As expected of Sima Shang's son, he cares about the people of the world!"
Beimang Mountain, Murong Binghuangjia Camp.
The good news from the front line came one after another, making Murong Bing very excited.
It was also her first time to go on a personal expedition, and she was still a little nervous. She didn't expect that the generals recruited by Zhao Rui were so good at fighting.
She didn't even need to issue any strategic tactics. She just gave the military symbols to these generals and told them to destroy Peng Wei.
After that, there was no need to worry at all. There were good news almost every day, either about conquering a few cities or capturing a lot in the wild.
Adding up the battle reports that have been reported in the past few days, it seems that Peng Wei is left with only one lonely capital city.
