April 6, 257 BC.

Qingming Festival.

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival.

The drizzle fell from the sky, and the entire Daliang City was covered with dense raindrops.

Northwest of Daliang City.

Li Mu stood there, completely ignoring the rain falling from the sky, staring at Daliang City in front of him with a calm expression, looking at no sadness or joy, as if he was looking at a city that had nothing to do with him.

But Xu Li, deputy general of Zhao Jun, who was standing next to Li Mu, was obviously not as calm as Li Mu.

Xu Li said to Li Mu with some concern: "General, can this really succeed?"

Li Mu waved his hand with confidence, spread a raindrop, and said to Xu Li in a decisive tone: "The general is at ease, the people of Wei are doomed this time."

But it was obvious that Xu Li was not at ease. He looked at the gap in front of him, and his expression seemed a little worried.

Since surrounding Daliang City, Li Mu has not paid much attention to the attack on the city. On the contrary, except for sending some soldiers to participate in the siege, Li Mu treated the rest as migrant workers.

Since he is a migrant worker, he obviously has to do some big projects. The one in front of Li Mu is such a super big project.

In front of the two, thousands of Zhao soldiers sweated heavily and worked hard to dig.

With the hard work of these Zhao soldiers for half a month, a canal that lasted for several miles had appeared in front of everyone.

Just dig a little more, and the surging Yellow River water will be completely diverted, flooding Daliang City into a water town!

In fact, at this moment, it is not only his deputy general Xu Li who is standing beside Li Mu, but another person.

This person is naturally Jin Mou, the leader of the Korean army who led 100,000 Korean troops to fight with Li Mu this time.

At this moment, Jin Mouying looked at the scene in front of him and looked shocked.

Jin Mou was invited here only today.

In the past half month, Jin Mou was responsible for the attack on Daliang City for most of the time.

Jin Mou did not have much opinion on Li Mu's arrangement.

After all, in the coalition of Zhao and South Korea, the number of South Korean troops is obviously the majority, and for some reasons, Jin Mou did not want his troops to be controlled by the Zhao people.

Therefore, before going to war, Jin Mou was mentally prepared to be the Korean army to act as the main force of the attack.

There is no doubt that Jin Mou was actually a very responsible general.

It is precisely because of his responsibility that these Tian Jin Mou has always lived and lived in the Korean army camp and personally directed the offensive against Daliang City.

Jin Mou knew very well that as long as Daliang City was captured, King Wei would definitely not be able to escape.

As long as you capture the King of Wei, no matter whether Wei Wuji is willing or not, the State of Wei must demand peace.

On the other hand, if the Wei and Qi coalition forces were allowed to break through Handan first, the defeat of this war would become Zhao State.

But what made Jin Mou angry was that since the order to attack the city was issued, Li Mu had not appeared on the front line most of the time, and he had completely let Jin Mou take charge of commanding the attack in Daliang City.

That's all, but what made Jin Mou even more disgusted was that the Zhao army, which was responsible for attacking the city walls on the west and north, has been dragging on the siege these days, and has been slow and stammering, and there is no sign of serious siege.

This made Jin Xiao's heart feel speechless.

The city surrounded by the Wei and Qi coalition forces was clearly Handan of Zhao State, and the monarch who was trapped in the siege was Zhao Dan of Zhao State, but why did these Zhao people not look anxious at all?

After enduring for half a month, Jin Mou finally couldn't stand it anymore. When he was about to come to question him personally, he happened to receive an invitation from Li Mu.

Then Jin Mou came.

What Jin Mouth never expected was that after he arrived at the Zhao army camp, he actually saw such an amazing scene.

The section of the Yellow River in front of Jin Mou should have passed by several miles away from the northwest corner of Daliang City, and headed east without stopping.

But at this moment, Li Mu led tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers to dig out a canal of several miles after half a month of fighting, leading the Yellow River water to the nose of Daliang City.

Yellow River, Yellow River, river on the ground!

The terrain of the Yellow River is much higher than that of Daliang City.

So as long as this canal is completed, the surging Yellow River water will be high and rush towards Daliang City with a momentum falling from the sky!

Jin Mou opened his mouth wide, and after a long time he came to his senses, he said to Li Mu in a slightly trembling tone: "Is General Li Mu going to imitate the story of Wu'anjun's defeat of Chu?"

When Wu'an Jun Bai Qi attacked the Chu State's accompanying capital Yandu, he dug a long canal, which directly drowned Yandu and drowned most of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yandu.

The "Shui Jing Zhu" describes this war as "the water collapses in the northeast corner of the city, and the people die in the east of the city with the water flow. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the east of the city, and the east of the city is smelly, so it is called the stinking pond."

Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded with serene satisfaction: "Yes, this general is about to flood this Daliang City!"

Jin Mou's body shook sharply, his face turned pale. After a long time, he spoke to Li Mu in a trembling voice: "But General Li Mu, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this Daliang City."

As a veteran who has experienced many battles, Jin Mougong certainly knows what will happen in the city once Li Mushui floods Daliang City.

Once such a thing really happens, then one-tenth of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Daliang City can survive now, it will be considered God's eyes.

This is definitely a complete massacre.

Of course, according to logic and past experience, if Daliang City is really broken, at least half of the residents in this city will die.

But in Jin Mou's opinion, even if half of the people are about to die, they are better than more than 90% of the people who die.

Therefore, Jin Mouying hopes to persuade Li Mu to give up the idea of ​​flooding Daliang City through his own efforts.

After listening to Jin Mou's words, Li Mu's face suddenly became serious.

This general, who had been entrusted by Zhao Dan at a young age, quietly stared at Jin Xiao in front of him. The light in his eyes was very dazzling, which made Jin Xiao feel like he didn't dare to look directly.

"Do you think that my plan to flood Daliang City is too cruel?"

Jin Moumou coughed dryly and said, "General Li Mu, I just think... maybe there are other better ways, such as siege."

"Siege?" Li Mu laughed loudly. After a moment, he closed his laughter and looked at Jin Xiao in front of him with a sarcastic look: "Have you ever thought that if this siege battle continues, the soldiers of Han and Zhao will die! Could it be that the general will live for the lives of these Wei people and the soldiers of Han and Zhao will be sacrificed in vain?"

Jin Mou opened his mouth and suddenly realized that he could not refute Li Mu's words.

That's right, would Jin Mou want to use the death of Zhao Han Allied Army soldiers to exchange for the survival of the local soldiers and civilians in Daliang City?

Jin Mou was confused and couldn't help saying, "But..."

"No, but!" Li Mu sneered and continued, "If Wei Wuji could have a chance to flood Handan, then General Jin Mougong thought Wei Wuji would miss such an opportunity? Li Mu was an absolute warrior. He only knew to faithfully fulfill my king's order and do his best to break the city earlier! If he could break through this Daliang City one day earlier, then the Zhao army and civilians in Handan City could be freed from the threat of Wei Wuji's military front as soon as possible!"

"So, let alone this little Daliang City, even if one day I will flood all Xianyang, Linzi, Chen Ying and Ji, what's the harm?"

After Li Mu said this, he no longer looked at Jin Xiao, who was pale beside him, but directly called the messenger and issued an order destined to be recorded in history in this drizzle.
Chapter completed!
