A discourse at Zhangtai Palace.

No one knows what Ying Zheng and Yu Liao talked about.

And at this moment.

Several thousand miles away from Xianyang, at the Capital of Wei.

In front of the city.

Tens of thousands of Qin Army soldiers arrayed, countless arrows raining down inside Daliang City, accompanied by stone throwing machines furiously bombarding the interior.

This formation brings a murderous pressure onto Daliang City.

Yet, although this action has caused some casualties among the Wei Army within the city, the impact is not significant.

Inside the city.

Within Wei Wuji's mansion.

"Your Majesty."

"Qin Army has started to harass again."

"But they have yet to attack."

"After releasing arrows, they should retreat after a while."

A Wei General reported to Wei Wuji.

"All soldiers must not be slack."

"Always guard against the Qin Army," Wei Wuji instructed.

"Yes."

The reporting Wei General immediately withdrew.

However.

At this moment, Wei Wuji's brows were tightly furrowed, as if contemplating something.

"Your Majesty."

"One month has passed."

"The Qin Army harasses daily without attacking, although causing some casualties to our soldiers, it barely affects the battle situation."

"What exactly does the Qin Army want to do?"

The Wei General standing before Wei Wuji asked in confusion.

"Indeed, this matter is puzzling."

"Since Zhao Feng began commanding troops, he has never ceased fighting, now that he's beneath our Capital, how does he hold back from attacking?"

"Could this be a trap?"

"Or is Zhao Feng waiting for the Hangu Pass Camp to join forces but hasn't succeeded?"

"If not, there is truly no other possibility."

"Our Capital, under Your Majesty's strategizing, is already an impregnable fortress, apart from a direct assault, there is no way to breach it, could Zhao Feng have thought of another way besides a direct assault?"

The Wei Generals around Wei Wuji were all amazed why Zhao Feng had not ordered an attack.

This was completely different from the tension they felt when the Qin Army approached the city.

For this past month, the Qin Army only harassed, never attacked, allowing them to relax quite a bit.

"Alright, you all can withdraw."

"Let me have some quiet."

Seeing his constantly noisy subordinates, Wei Wuji waved his hand.

"Yes."

The generals bowed and left.

After they exited.

Wei Wuji walked into the hall, looking at the sand table map of Wei's territory, his expression tense, revealing thoughtfulness in his old face.

"What exactly does Zhao Feng want to do?"

"Giving up the attack, he wouldn't do that."

"Since becoming a Qin General, Zhao Feng has never yielded battle credit to other Qin Generals, each attack he commits with full effort."

"Now that he's already beneath our Capital, this would be a monumental achievement for him, he wouldn't give up this credit."

"He's definitely plotting something."

"But what exactly is he plotting?"

"Could there be another method to breach Daliang City?"

Wei Wuji stared at the sand table map, his expression tense, showing worry.

Even he, at this moment, couldn't figure out what method Zhao Feng would use to attack his Capital.

After dismissing the surrounding people, Wei Wuji stood alone before the sand table, pondering.

Time extended.

Within the Daliang territory of Wei, atop a mountain.

This is the highest mountain within the Capital of Wei.

And around this mountain, everywhere are already made rafts and boats.

Fifteen hundred Personal Guard Army soldiers were scattered around the mountain.

Every one is in Black Armor, swords at their waists, and bows and arrows on their backs.

On the mountaintop.

Zhao Feng stood with hands behind his back, battle armor on, Dragon Spring Sword hanging at his waist, exuding supreme power and presence.

At this moment, he calmly gazed ahead, faintly seeing the Wei Capital Daliang.

"Report to the master."

"Just received word from General Tu Sui."

"The army is ready to follow the master's command to break the dam and flood the city," Han Chenyan quickly ran forward and respectfully reported.

"Mm." Zhao Feng nodded his head.

With a wave of his hand: "Signal fires."

"The master has ordered, signal fires," Zhang Ming shouted.

And not far away, materials for the signal fires had long been prepared.

With Zhao Feng's command issued.

Several trusted aides immediately lifted torches to ignite the signal fires.

Suddenly.

Fierce flames surged.

The signal smoke rushed towards the Heavenly Vault, seeing rolling black smoke from miles away.

As the signal fires on the mountaintop ignited.

Before long.

Signal fires were lit on nearby mountains, gradually spreading.

This was a unique method for transmitting orders in this era.

Beacon signal smoke!

In the days when the Zhou Dynasty had not yet declined, vassals still submitted to it, there was an anecdote, beacon fire joked vassals, King You of Zhou.

However.

Through time eternal, there would always appear many reckless muddle-headed monarchs.

The former King You of Zhou.

The future Emperor Qin Ershi.

These rulers have simply enjoyed prosperity for too long.

"Flood Daliang, Hong Ze overturn."

"In a while."

"Daliang City will be submerged in water." Zhao Feng gazed far towards Daliang City, his face showing no turbulence.

This Hong Ze would kill many, collapse many of the buildings within Wei's Capital.

Zhao Feng didn't care about any of that.

"Wei is stubborn and ignorant."

"The master has already given them a chance."

"Moreover."

"Back then, to deal with our army, they even implemented a plan to burn the city, clearly demonstrating their disregard for their citizens, which is unrelated to Qin," Zhang Ming immediately spoke.

"Once Hong Ze tears down Daliang City, immediately take the boats to attack." Zhao Feng said solemnly.

"Yes."

The Personal Guard Army unanimously replied.

-----------------

Capital of Wei!

Everything is calm.

The Qin Army, who used to harass and shoot arrows daily, is nowhere to be seen.
