Chapter 444: Chapter 191: Ying Zheng’s Trust (Part 3)
Wang Wan’s remarks were full of innuendo, how could Wang Jian hold back?
"Prime Minister Wang, what do you mean by this?"
"Are you implying that Zhao Feng is delaying military operations?"
"Or are you suggesting Zhao Feng is cowardly and deliberately avoiding battle?"
Wang Jian spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Senior General, you misunderstand my intentions."
"I merely report to the Great King, I do not mean this."
"Now that the Wu’an Military Camp has already reached the Capital of Wei, it is natural to besiege the city."
Wang Wan immediately replied with a smile.
"On the battlefield, circumstances change, Zhao Feng naturally has his plans, you needn’t worry, Prime Minister Wang." Wang Jian said coldly.
In his view.
This Wang Wan is just making trouble out of nothing.
"Senior General’s words are indeed correct."
"On the battlefield, circumstances change."
"Zhao Feng naturally has his considerations."
"In less than three months, he has crossed thousands of miles from Wei’s Northern Frontier to the Capital of Wei."
"I ask, is there any other general who could achieve this?"
Ying Zheng’s voice slowly echoed in the hall.
This sentence.
Immediately shut Wang Wan up.
"Prime Minister Wang."
"Now you are responsible for the supplies, just manage the transportation of supplies, leave the military strategists’ affairs to the army."
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Wan again with a tone of reproach.
Upon hearing this.
Wang Wan looked fearful, and hurriedly bowed: "I understand, Your Majesty."
"Great King."
"I have received news."
"The Capital of Wei, Daliang, has been fortified by Wei Wuji for three years, with thickened walls and sealed gates, impossible to breach with brute force, and attacking forcefully would only increase casualties."
"Perhaps General Zhao Feng is contemplating how to break the city." Yu Liao said loudly.
"According to Yu Qing, is this city then impenetrable?" Ying Zheng furrowed his brow.
Regarding the situation of the Capital of Wei.
Ying Zheng has some understanding, only he has not personally been there to learn more.
"On the surface, aside from losing soldiers in a forceful attack, there is no other way."
"However."
"General Zhao Feng has not attacked for a month, perhaps he has found another way." Yu Liao said with a smile, his eyes showing a sparkle, as if he had guessed something.
Ying Zheng glanced at Yu Liao and seemed to understand too.
"Dismiss the court."
With a wave of his hand.
Ying Zheng directly ordered the court to be dismissed.
Within Zhan Tai Palace.
"Yu Qing, what do you think Zhao Feng is preparing?" Ying Zheng looked at Yu Liao and asked.
"Please, Great King, move to the rear hall." Yu Liao said with a smile.
Ying Zheng returned to Zhangtai Palace, and before sitting down, upon hearing Yu Liao’s words, he immediately walked towards the rear hall.
Rear hall.
There remained that huge sand table map.
Zhao Han is gone, and several cities of Wei have already raised Qin’s banners.
Whenever battle reports arrived, Ying Zheng would personally remove Wei’s banner and replace it with Qin’s banner.
This, for Ying Zheng, watching the map increasingly become Qin’s territory, filled him with a sense of grand ambition.
"Great King."
"This map is constructed by Qin with great manpower and resources."
"Look at the position of the Capital of Wei on this map." Yu Liao smiled and pointed at the position of the Capital of Wei.
Ying Zheng’s gaze swept past and fell upon the Capital of Wei.
"Then look at the river and Hong Gorge." Yu Liao smiled as he spoke.
Ying Zheng’s gaze swept past and instantly settled.
In just a moment.
Ying Zheng understood.
"To use the water of the river and Hong Gorge to inundate the Capital of Wei."
"Under the power of Hong Ze, no matter how thickly Wei Wuji built the walls, ultimately it cannot withstand."
"If Zhao Feng truly executes this plan, Daliang City will become a vast ocean."
"The thirty to forty thousand troops within Daliang City will lose their fighting strength."
"The Wu’an Military Camp will prevail without shedding a drop of blood." Ying Zheng said with a knowing smile.
"Now, it’s up to General Zhao Feng whether or not he adopts the flooding strategy."
"If adopted."
"The three years of preparation by Wei Wuji will become a joke." Yu Liao said with a smile.
"Yu Qing is indeed a disciple of Guiguzi."
"Such a strategy can be discerned at a glance."
"However."
"I think Zhao Feng may truly adopt this strategy." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Based on current signs, it seems General Zhao Feng indeed implements this strategy, for certainly, General Zhao Feng would not waste a month without attacking." Yu Liao said confidently.
"One month’s time."
"With thirty thousand troops digging river banks and building wooden boats, the time indeed aligns." Ying Zheng smiled.
"Looks like Qin’s future Grand Commandant is quite likely to be held by General Zhao Feng."
"With the merit of defeating Wei this time, his position as Senior General could be completely solidified, establishing greater service for Grand Commandant." Yu Liao said with a smile, glancing stealthily at Ying Zheng’s expression.
Meanwhile, Ying Zheng smiled without speaking.
"Who knows what the future holds?" Ying Zheng said with a smile, his words containing a deeper meaning.
