Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 585
"Kill if you want, we will never surrender!" When Deng Hui saw Wang Meng, he stood up and refused to bow.

Wang Meng didn't say a word, but he spoke first.

"Bold!" Several members of Heiyunjiang went up to teach him a lesson, but were stopped by Wang Meng.

"You really won't surrender?" Wang Meng had a murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sworn to death!"

"What a strong man! Come here, loosen the bonds." The murderous intent in Wang Meng's eyes turned into a smile.

This move made Deng Hui puzzled.

"Go back and tell Deng Hujun that Deng is a descendant of a famous Han family. Now he is serving the Qiang Di and resisting Chinese orthodoxy. Wouldn't it bring shame to our ancestors?" Wang Meng didn't waste any words and let Deng Hui go.

Then he went to the prison camp in person and asked each one of them. The injured were treated, the hungry were fed, and the cold were clothed.

They also asked everyone about their place of origin, and everyone was treated equally regardless of whether they were from Xiayi or Xiayi.

But he did not persuade anyone to surrender. After five or six days, they got along well with each other, but he personally sent them out of the camp and asked them to return to Puban.

No one understood its meaning.

Wang Meng laughed and said: "In the past, when Yanghu was in Xiangyang, he used soft and aggressive tactics, and the morale of the Wu army collapsed. Then Wang Jun's boat went down to the east of the Yangtze River to challenge Qin's stubbornness. It should be overcome with gentleness. The two armies have been in confrontation for more than half a year. Recently, the Qin army's food and grass transportation It's seven days later than usual, which shows that Guanzhong is exhausted!"

The purpose of keeping the west side is to consume Di Qin's food and grass and spy on the situation in Guanzhong.

The Qin army fortified itself from Xia Yang, built more than 50 camps west of the river, and gathered an army of [-] to [-] people. The daily consumption of food and grass was astronomical.

Although the Qin State has such a large territory, there is not much land that can be cultivated.

Years and months of fighting have already exhausted the wealth Fu Jian left behind.

Of course, there was plenty for the soldiers to eat.

But if Fu Jian uses all possible means to cause greater damage to Guanzhong, the nobles in Liangzhou will only become more alienated.

The entire Diqin population only had a little over 200 million people.

Even if the soldiers eat everything, the fundamental problem cannot be solved, and the threat of Liang Guo still exists.

The gap in national power cannot be made up in a moment, not to mention that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, China's center of gravity has basically been in Kanto.

The population, cultivated land, cities, and products are all far stronger than those of the exhausted Guanzhong.

"The Commander-in-Chief must beware of his desperate measures!" Fang Kuang reminded.

"A desperate move? I don't get what I asked for!"

The fortress that took more than half a year to build was not just a piece of paper, and Wang Meng's [-]-strong army had been unable to move.

From Yunzhong to Taiyuan, Hedong, Hongnong, Nanyang, and Shangyong, the Liang army was ready.

"Di Qin and Daliang are fighting, and they don't know what they can do!" Su Quan admired Wang Meng extremely.

"As short as half a year, as long as one year, Guanzhong will be broken." Wang Meng's eyes flashed.

When Liang Guo took action in Liaodong and his national power began to tilt toward the west, Guanzhong was destined to be unable to resist.

In fact, Liang Guo did not suppress all the national power, and there were still [-] black cloud elites in Yecheng who stood still.

Tens of thousands of people were stationed in Liaodong to guard against Goguryeo.

Thousands of people in Youzhou were on guard against Tuoba Shi Yijian.

More than [-] troops were stationed in Huainan to guard against Jiangdong.

In addition to the deployment of troops, Liang Guo is also building a navy, or it is more appropriate to call it a navy.

This is the strength of Kanto.

Compared with Guanzhong, Guandong has developed vigorously since the Eastern Han Dynasty, far behind other regional plates.

Especially in Cao Wei, Emperor Wu of Wei dug canals in Hebei, extending in all directions. Deng Ai, with the support of Sima Yi, opened canals and diverted the Yellow River into Ying and Huai, creating many fields. When something happened in Soochow, Luoyang's army rafted down the Yujiang River. , Huai, suppress Jiangdong.

Guanzhong has been in war since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Fu Jian worked hard and had great ambitions, but unfortunately he didn't have the right time.Several people were discussing the general situation of the world when a scout came in with the tent raised and said, "Report, Deng Qiang invites the Commander-in-Chief to speak in front of the formation."

"Could it be that Deng Qiang was influenced by the governor and wanted to surrender to Daliang?" Su Quan said happily.

Wang Meng shook his head and said: "The whole Deng family is in Guanxi. How can Deng Qiang be so kind to the Fu family and be willing to betray him? If he comes to see me now, he will definitely earn money from me!"

Surrender has already happened, there is no need to wait until now.

Fang Kuang agreed: "Yes, Deng Qiang is an enemy of ten thousand people. He lured the governor out of the camp and wanted to capture and kill him in one fell swoop. Why didn't the governor follow his plan? Capture Deng Qiang instead?"

"Deng Qiang took this next step to show that the situation in Di and Qin is not good. The two armies are fighting, but he wants to be stable and don't have to rush. He wrote back to Deng Qiang. He is in two countries and it is not appropriate to meet. Let him defend the city. Do your duty for the Fu family." Wang Meng did not give Deng Qiang any chance.

Since you will win if you keep spending, why take the risk again?

If Deng Qiang dares to come, he must have something to rely on.

In the chaos of war, anything could happen. When Pang Yue was taken out of the city by Feng Yidiao, he was captured by the Yan Kingdom, which was known all over the world.

"Fu Jian is at the end of his rope and will definitely go to war. He can go to the court to prepare for the attack on Qin!" Fang Kuang handed over to Yecheng.

"Good!" Wang Meng nodded.

Outside the camp, Deng Qiang led more than [-] horsemen and stood outside the shooting place.

After waiting for a long time but not seeing Wang Meng, I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Wang Meng imitated Yang Hu in his plan to attack the enemy's heart. How could Deng Qiang, who was familiar with military literature, not know this?
So he used a trick to deceive Wang Meng and capture him in one fell swoop. The five hundred horsemen around him were all veterans who had followed him for many years. Coupled with Deng Qiang's bravery, he had a [-]% chance of succeeding with a thunderous strike.

However, Wang Meng didn't give him any chance.

"The grain and grass delivered to Guanzhong were delayed for a few days, and only half was enough. If things continue like this, Puban will be difficult to defend." Ji Nan said in a low voice.

Without food, people are in panic.

Deng Qiang looked at the layers of antlers and trenches, and suddenly felt a sense of irritation. Liang Jun fought steadily, using defense as offense, and making camp step by step. This made him extremely frustrated, and his military strategy and bravery were useless.

Perhaps Wang Meng's thoughts were not on him at all, but on Di Qin behind him.

If this continues, the Kaban defense line will inevitably fall.

The news coming back from other battlefields is not optimistic either.

To the south, after the fall of Xincheng County, the two armies marched towards Shangyong.

Wuguan did not suffer any losses, but Tongguan lost Qianguan and Zuoguan under Murong Chui's fierce attack, losing more than 570 elite troops.

More than 500 people may not seem like many, but the Qin State only had such a small amount of strength. It lost [-] here and [-] there. Over the years, Di Qin's few remaining elites were exhausted.

To the north, Liang Jun was eyeing Hetao. The reason why he did not send troops was just to cooperate with the Puban battlefield, otherwise the thousands of Qin troops in Hetao would not be able to defend it.

What's even more dangerous is that in the past few years, the people of Guanzhong have been exhausted by the military and military activities, and the people of all ethnic groups have been overwhelmed.

A month ago, nursery rhymes in Guanzhong started to spread, and gradually spread to the army: fish eat grass heads, sheep lie on the soil, swords come out of mountains and rivers, cut through barriers and break locks.

Fish, Xianbei.The sheep are Qiang.

It means that the Xianbei people will cause chaos together with the Qiang people. As for the last two sentences, even a three-year-old child knows its meaning.

"Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it's better to fight to the death!" Peng Chao said angrily.

"Our strength alone is not enough. If we become the King of Letters and state the situation on the front line, the rise and fall of Qin will depend on one battle!" Deng Qiang also felt that he could not delay it any longer.

Qin cannot afford it.

As long as we send troops, there will always be a chance, but if we don't send troops, if the siege continues like this, Guanzhong will collapse sooner or later.

So if you want to fight, let's fight a war that will overwhelm the country. One battle will determine the outcome!

Generals Ju Nan and Peng Chao looked shocked.

Deng Qiang's face was full of determination, "Go back to the city!"
