Chapter 1021 Big Water (1)

?? At night, the fields were silent.

Yun Qing stood in front of a field full of weeds and said: "If it is in the northwest, the wheat in the field is almost turning yellow now." Even if there is a plant, the seeds will be dug up and eaten. There was nothing to eat, and the people all fled to famine.

Qi Hao said: "Father, next year now, this place will definitely be full of the chirping of birds and frogs." The April night should be full of the sounds of birds, frogs, and crickets. Instead of nothing like now.

After humming, Yun Qing said, "I don't know what your mother is doing here?" Thinking that before he raised his army, many places in the northwest were no different from here. A large tract of land was barren, and the common people could not survive and fled everywhere. But now, with the efforts of him and Yuxi, the people in the northwest live and work in peace and contentment.

Qi Hao smiled and said: "Mother must still be busy now." It's only the end of the You hour, and his mother will be 100% reviewing papers in the study.

"Your mother has worked very hard these years, you must be filial to her in the future, and don't let her worry about it." Even though he knew that Qi Hao was sensible, Yun Qing couldn't help but say something more.

Qi Hao nodded and said: "Don't worry, Father, I won't do anything to make Mother worry."

The reason why Yuxi let Qihao follow Yunqing is because he realized that he was a little suspicious. Being an emperor requires a suspicious heart, but if you are too suspicious, you will be feared and guarded by everyone, and you will eventually become a loner. And the best example is Yan Wushuang. Let Qihao stay by Yunqing's side in the hope that he can relax under Yunqing's influence. Yuxi's painstaking efforts are not in vain, Qihao has indeed improved a lot in the past two years.

Yun Qing looked in the direction of the capital and said: "Brother Rui, Brother Yu, I and your mother don't worry about it, they can take care of themselves. Only Brother Xuan is timid and cowardly, you have to take care of him more in the future."

"Father, brother Xuan is timid, as long as he is scared, he will be good." This is really blunt, but it is the truth.

Yun Qing hummed and said, "It's good that you know what's in your heart." Brother Xuan's temperament really needs someone who can control him. Otherwise, there will definitely be trouble in the future.

The next day, Guan Tai led troops to attack Dongluo County. I thought this battle would be easy to fight, but I didn't know that the county was not taken down after a day of fighting.

Yun Qing frowned and said: "Li Heshun, I've never heard of such a number one person." It's fine if he is a famous general, but he has never heard of this person, so he must be a little-known person.

Liu Yongnan said: "This man is the county magistrate of Dongluo County. It is said that he loves the people like a son, and Dongluo County is governed very well by him." In order to prepare for the attack on Hebei, he secretly sent people to explore the terrain of Hebei. Clearly. And Li Heshun is relatively famous, so he has heard of it.

Yun Qing was very surprised: "County magistrate? That's really a mistake." If he joins the army, he must be a famous general.

Qihao didn't care about Li Heshun: "Maybe he's just in name, and someone else is guarding the city." If this person fought so hard, Yan Wushuang wouldn't let him be the county magistrate.

After finishing speaking, Qihao asked Guan Tai: "You said that the officers and soldiers guarding Dongluo County are not afraid of death?" All the way, the soldiers and horses of the court basically fled. Suddenly meeting a group of people who are not afraid of death and desperately resisting, Qihao instinctively felt something was wrong.

Guan Tai nodded and said: "Not only that, the weapons and equipment of these people are all first-class, which is obviously different from the previous officers and soldiers."

Qihao felt that this was not quite right.

Yun Qing didn't think much about it, and said, "Continue to attack." He didn't believe that Dongluo County could not be taken down.

Guan Tai took the order and left.

Liu Yongnan frowned and said: "My lord, this is a little abnormal."

Yun Qing also felt that this was strange, and his face darkened when he thought of what Yu Xi reminded him before, and he didn't know what conspiracy Yan Wushuang was planning.

Spreading out the map, Yunqing studied the map carefully. But after studying it all night, I didn't see the problem. Qihao stayed with him until midnight, memorizing every corner of the map, but he didn't find any clues.

After a day and a night of storming, they still failed to take Dong Luo down.

Yun Qing was a little irritable, and didn't know what kind of conspiracy Yan Wushuang was playing.

"Boom..." There was a thunderous sound of landslides and ground cracks in the sky, causing Yun Qing to shrank suddenly. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling lightning streaked across the sky.

After a while, the pouring rain began to pour down. There is no way to attack the city under such heavy rain, so the siege can only be postponed.

Li Heshun came down from the city wall covered in blood.

His confidant Shatong stepped forward to support him and said, "Master, why did you go to the battlefield by yourself?" A sword has no eyes, and one mistake could be life-threatening.

Li Heshun didn't even have the strength to speak at this time: "Prepare water, I want to take a bath." The blood on his body was from others as well as his own.

After taking a bath and taking medicine, Li Heshun's complexion improved a lot: "I hope this rain will last longer." In this way, their people will have more time to prepare.

Shatong said with some concern: "Master, the emperor said that as long as we guard for five days, we will have a way to retreat. Master, is this reliable!"

Li Heshun said while eating red jujube porridge: "Your Majesty is sure to say that. Even if I risk my life, I will stick to the county seat for five days."

Shatong said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to guard. Master, in just one day and one night, most of our people will die." In this case, we can only guard for another day at most.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.

Li Heshun looked outside and said, "I hope this rain will last longer." If it rains heavily, the enemy army will not be able to attack the city.

It rained heavily all day. Qiyou's right eyelid kept twitching. He didn't tell Yun Qing either, he just stood outside and watched the heavy rain outside.

Yi Kun came in from the outside, took off his coir raincoat, and complained: "This rain is really not the right time. Otherwise, Dongluo County can be taken today." When Dongluo County is taken, he must Cut off Li Heshun's head and kicked it as a ball.

Qi Hao smiled and said: "God is going to rain, no one can stop it." After speaking, his eyes fell to the ground.

The rain was too heavy, and the water on the eaves fell and gathered into a small puddle, and then flowed downhill.

Yi Kun said something again, but Qiyou had no reaction: "Master, what are you thinking?"

Qiyou came back to his senses, and didn't answer Yi Kun's question, but walked quickly into the house.

Yun Qing was talking with several generals of Guan Tai, but was interrupted by Qi Hao who broke in suddenly. Seeing Qi Hao's solemn expression, Yun Qing asked, "What happened?"

Qihao didn't care about the presence of many people, so he quickly took out the map from under the table. Spread it out on the table, scanned it, and then clicked on a place: "Father, this reservoir is located in the upper reaches of Dongluo County. Father, if this reservoir has a large capacity, all our troops will be here when the dam breaks. "He felt that something was wrong. I didn't expect Yan Wushuang's intention here.

As soon as these words fell, everyone in the room was stunned. It was Yun Qing who calmed down first and said, "If he wants to do this, he doesn't have to wait until now."

Qihao said calmly: "It hasn't rained for the past few days. I guess the water in the reservoir should not be that much. Now it is raining heavily. Once the reservoir has enough water, they will open the dam mouth."

Guan Tai, Lu Fei, Liu Yongnan and others looked at each other, and then they all looked at Yunqing, waiting for Yunqing to make a decision.

Thinking of Yu Xi's worries, Yun Qing's face was a little solemn.

Qi Hao said: "Father, I remember that Shang Tong is from Dongluo County." Shang Tong was a member of the court and was the first to surrender after Zhou Zhan's death, so Qi Hao was quite impressed. This is also the benefit of a photographic memory.

A quarter of an hour later, Shang Tong was called into the tent. Yun Qing asked: "There is a large reservoir in the upper reaches of Dongluo, how big is that reservoir?"

Qi Hao felt that this was not vivid enough, so he added a sentence: "If the reservoir is filled with water and then released, can Dong Luo be submerged?"

After hearing this, Shang Tong didn't think much about it, and said: "The terrain here is relatively low. If the reservoir is full and all the water is released, our place will be submerged."

After finishing speaking, Shang Tong's expression changed. The faces of the generals present also changed drastically. If Shizi's conjecture is true, then this move is too ruthless, and it will directly kill them all.

Qihao asked: "The flood is coming, what about Dongluo County? Will it be affected?"

Shang Tong said: "The terrain of the county seat is higher, but if the water is too large, it will definitely be flooded."

Yunqing immediately ordered: "The army retreats twenty miles away." There is a mountain twenty miles away, even if the flood comes, it is not afraid.

It is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not. If there is such a thing, if you don't retreat 300,000 horses, it may be here. If there is no such thing, it is just a lot of trouble and more money and food, and there is nothing else to lose.

Liu Yongnan said: "My lord, we leave some people here. Firstly, we can confuse the enemy, and secondly, we can also see if Yan Wushuang is really so devoid of conscience." People, when the time comes, the soldiers of Dongluo will die as well as the common people.

Yun Qing thought for a while, and called Lu Bai in: "You go to Dongluo County and tell the magistrate of Dongluo County that Yan Wushuang may flood Dongluo County." Li Heshun should evacuate if he knew this. The people in the county.

Qihao said: "Father, if Dongluo County thinks that we want to kill Lu Bai for disturbing their army's morale, Lu Bai will die in vain." He still likes Lu Bai very much, but he doesn't want Lu Bai to die in vain.

Liu Yongnan also didn't want the soldiers below to die in vain: "My lord, we will tell them in letters. As for whether Li Heshun will believe it, that's beyond our control."

Qihao said: "Father, it has been raining heavily for a day, we have to retreat quickly."

Without any hesitation, Yun Qing immediately took Qi Hao, Liu Yongnan and others to retreat quickly.

The generals who received the order were a little confused at first, but Yunqing was strict in running the army. Even if they had some doubts in their hearts, these generals did not dare to delay, and immediately led the soldiers and horses to retreat according to the orders above.

The eight letters were all wrapped in oiled paper and shot at the city wall. Seven letters fell into the hands of the leading general Ge Cunxin, and only one was hidden and sent to Shatong.

As Qihao predicted, the defender of the city is actually Ge Cunxin, not Li Heshun.

Shatong walked into the room with the letter, looked at Li Heshun who had just squinted his eyes, hesitated for a while but still didn't wake him up.

Li Heshun slept for an hour and a half, and didn't wake up until Xushi. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Shatong sitting by the bed. When I got up, I accidentally exerted force, and as a result, I broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

Shatong hurried over to help him up. In this panic, the letter hidden in the sleeve fell to the ground.

Li Heshun looked at the big four characters "Li Heshun received" on it, and asked, "Who wrote this letter?"

Shatong said: "It was sent by the rebels." Because it was written to Li Heshun, he hadn't opened it yet.

Li Heshun snorted coldly and said, "Take it and burn it." You don't need to read it to know that it must be a letter to persuade you to surrender. Even if he died, he would never surrender.

Shatong said: "My lord, let's have a look!" The officials in the Northwest are clear and bright, and the king and concubine Ming use talented people. According to what Shatong said, if his master took refuge in King Ming, he would have a bright future.

Li Heshun said with a cold face: "Take it and burn it." Looking at such things, it stains the eyes.

Shatong had no choice but was about to go to fetch fire notes. As soon as he was about to ignite, he heard his attendants say outside: "My lord, General Ge, please see me." Ge Cunxin is the real leader of the army, while Li Heshun is just a superficial defender of the city.

When Ge Cunxin walked into the room, he saw the letter in Shatong's hand: "How does County Magistrate Li feel after reading this letter?" Because of the rush of time, the letter was just stuffed in an envelope and not sealed. So Ge Cunxin thought that Li Heshun had read the letter.

Although Li Heshun aspires to keep the city alive and the city dead, he doesn't like Ge Cunxin.

Asking this question obviously suspected that he wanted to surrender to King Ming. Li Heshun is a very arrogant person, he didn't even bother to explain: "I don't have any feelings." Things are not said, but done.

Ge Cunxin said with unfriendly eyes: "The emperor praised County Magistrate Li as a loyal and patriotic minister. I hope you can live up to the emperor's praise." If Li Heshun dared to disagree, he would kill him at any time.

Li Heshun is also a bull-tempered person, upon hearing this, he snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to remind me of this."

"I hope so." After speaking, he glanced at the letter in Shatong's hand before going out.

Li Heshun's expression was ugly, but it was not appropriate for him to confront Ge Cunxin head-on until now.

Sha Tong said: "Master, do you want to read this letter?" He was wronged a lot, and he would feel sorry for himself if he didn't read it. Of course, this is just Shatong's idea.

Li Heshun didn't look at it and asked Shatong to burn it.

Walking out of the house, Sha Tong took out the fire folder. After thinking for a while, he took out the letter and read it, planning to burn it after reading it. After reading it, Shatong's complexion changed drastically.

Seeing Shatong rushing in from the outside, Li Heshun felt a lump in his heart, and asked, "The rebels are attacking the city again?"

Shatong shook his head and said: "No, sir, letter, please read this letter quickly."

Li Heshun was very dissatisfied with Sha Tong's act of reading the letter on his own initiative: "Didn't I let you burn it? Why do you still read it?"

Sha Tong was terrified: "My lord, this letter is not to persuade you to surrender. It says that the emperor will probably blow up the Laotao Dam." They have stayed in Dongluo County for three years, how can they not know the situation here. If all the water from the Laotao Dam is released, the entire Dongluo County will be submerged.

Hearing this, Li Heshun sneered: "It's nonsense, how could the emperor do such a thing. If you want to shake the morale of the army, you should find a better reason."

Shatong said worriedly: "What if it is true?" If it is true, they will all be buried in the belly of the fish.

Li Heshun immediately interrupted him, saying: "Impossible." He believed that the emperor would never do such a thing.
