Chapter 55: Pulling Out the Mountains (Asking for a Monthly Pass in July)
Above the vast and boundless Yunmeng Daze, there is a huge ship hanging high in the wind and rain, the huge body of the giant ship looks like the dragon head of a black dragon from a distance, opening its huge mouth hideously, swallowing the sea like a whale, riding the wind and waves, the hull painted with black paint is in the storm, like a warrior wearing battle armor, chopping waves and moving forward bravely.
Jiang Ze led the people to rush to the edge of Dongting Lake as fast as possible on Cheng's huge ship, Jing'an held a big umbrella, but still did not reduce much heavy rain to wet the clothes of the man standing in front of the bow, only to see Cheng Jia standing in front of the bow of the ship commanding the flood control soldiers to hold torches, emitting a faint firelight, penetrating the heavy rain, while waving the red order flag in their hands, all the people and officers and soldiers on both sides of the strait saw the faint fire and human figure like a luminous light in the wind and rain, gritted their teeth and persevered.

Now the flood peak has not crossed, but the heavy rain has hit, and the difficulty has doubled.
For a while, everyone was eager to have the ability to fly, flew to the edge of the embankment, and immediately chiseled the embankment to release water.
But fortunately, because of the fast flow of heavy rain, Cheng's big boat arrived early, and they went down the river faster than by foot.
Seeing that the location of Dongting Lake was imminent, Jiang Ze shouted excitedly, pointing to a sparkling lake in the night rain ahead, "Lord Youtu, here, here, it's that low-lying lake over there!"
When Cheng Jia heard this, he immediately ordered Jing'an to let the big ship dock, his eyes were heavy, he walked through the cold rain, and then looked at the young or old soldiers on the boat, and said loudly, "All success or failure is tonight! Are you afraid? The merciless flood roars in our ears?"
I tell you, I am not afraid!
Rather than the enemy's sword piercing our chests, cutting off our heads, and shedding our blood on the battlefield, we still have hot chests that can hold back the floods, don't you think?"
When the words fell, Uncle Sun Ao heard the words and led all the people to shout in unison, "Yes!"
A loud roar pierced through the storm, shaking the big ship and the river.
Cheng Jia laughed when he heard this, then picked up the shovel that had been prepared in his hand, raised it high, looked at them and shouted, "Okay, then now pick up the shovel in our hands, or even our hands, and dig up the embankment and release the water!"
All the soldiers immediately started, clenched the shovels, knives, and swords in their hands, as long as all the tools that could be used to dig the soil were in their hands, as Cheng Jia said, they still had a pair of hands to dig the embankment.
A group of soldiers lined up in an orderly and fast way along the stretched out plank, rushed down the big boat, Jiang Ze's people in the front held torches one by one to illuminate the road in the wind and rain ahead, the public lost the year, these weak officials with wooden rulers and ropes also followed, Sun Shuao and the soldiers followed, in the pouring rain, this temporary excavation team composed of 5,000 people, racing against time, like an immortal fire dragon, Ren Tiandi and the vast Miao are still meandering forward on the river embankment.
When he arrived at his destination, Jiang Ze pointed to the embankment that was 500 paces wide and said, "Sun Duwei is here!"
Gong Cheng and Gong Cheng looked at this river embankment, and quickly estimated the most suitable location for excavation, "Sun Duwei starts digging from here, as long as we dig a wedge-shaped deep crack, the big water will naturally continue to impact along this crack until the entire river embankment is broken with the power of the flood." ”
No need for Cheng Jiaduo to say, Sun Shuao already knows how to do it, he didn't say a word, he raised the shovel in his hand in the wind and rain, and inserted the shovel in his hand into the ground at the designated position in the year of public loss, and immediately drew the ground as a boundary, "Okay, brothers, let's start, let's start lining up in a row from here, and dig every ten people step by step!"
Uncle Sun said goodbye, and the five thousand soldiers followed his shovel to the back of ten people, each row of one step apart and backwards, just five hundred steps away, to the other side of the nameless small lake bank.
"Start digging!"
Uncle Sun roared hoarsely, and the sound spread out in the wind and rain!
Five thousand shovels waved at the same time, and the muscular iron arms waved up and down, and the earth was thrown up and down after each of them fell, and fell in the open space behind them, they couldn't see in the wind and rain, and the rain washed their dark faces, drenching their naked hardcover upper bodies, and the faint fire flickered in the wind and rain, and it would be extinguished at any time, but the lights of the human heart broke out with cold sparks to illuminate the land of Kyushu, and the clouds and dreams.
The thunder is powerful, and the rain curtain is full of miasma.
Pull out the mountains and cover the world, but the king of the world.
When Cheng Jia, Sun Shuao and them, as well as 20,000 recruits, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiangxia County around Yunmengze, were fighting against the gods, the Jin Kingdom, the overlord country of the Central Plains, had once again issued an edict to the small princes of the Jin State who were vassals in the Northern Central Plains.
Soon, small countries such as Wei, Chen, and Zheng sent envoys to respond.
However, the Jin State refused to participate in the Huhui Alliance with the heart of Zheng Guo's two ministers, and prepared to send troops to attack Zheng.
Zheng Guo Zheng Zi learned about the news of the Jin State's court attacking Zheng from the mouth of the dead man who was planted in the Jin State, and he was worried in the court of Zheng State, and asked the ministers and strategists, "You say, now that the Chu State is strong, should I, Zheng State, submit to the Northern Jin State or the Southern Chu State?"
"My lord, the northern Jin state is powerful, and the southern Chu state has also regained strength, but my Zheng country is between the two countries. This time, the Jin State has the heart of the two ministers of our Zheng State, which is obviously a test of the heart of the lord, so it is better for the lord to send someone to send a letter to Zhao Dun overnight to declare the lord's position. A strategist said.
Zheng Zi was still worried in his heart when he heard this, "What if the Chu State comes to attack again because of my Zheng State's submission to the Jin State?"
The strategist said, "My lord, you see that it has rained heavily for three days in the southern Chu State, and the flood will inevitably flood, and you are still too busy to take care of yourself, how can you send troops to attack my Zheng State, or fight back against the Jin State? ”
When Zheng Zi heard this, his heart finally settled down, and sent someone to send the document to Zhao Dun overnight, and in the letter he sincerely argued that Zheng Guo had to be strong because he lived among the big countries, Zhao Dun saw it and asked Zhao Chuan, "Do you say that we want to make peace?"
Zhao Chong smiled when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, why don't you show peace on the surface, ask Zheng Guo to show sincerity, let go of the country, and allow my Jin army to pass through, saying that we are going to attack Chu State." In this way, Zheng Guo can be taken without much effort. ”
Zhao Dun readily agreed, and wrote back to Zheng Zi, asking them to open the country and help Jin attack Chu.
After Zheng Zi received the letter, he agreed to open Zheng Guo and borrowed from Yu Jin.
In the thunderstorm of thunder, there was a gray carrier pigeon from the north fluttering its wings, flying for three days and three nights, flying to the Chu country without sleep, flying to the top of the Phoenix Mountain outside the Yingdu, in the brilliant Phoenix Palace.
"Childe, Mo Yan has sent a letter, the Jin Kingdom is really going to attack Zheng!"
Qingpu rushed to the palace with Mo Yan in his hand, and said happily even if he was lame.
Ruo Ziyan was on top of the main hall, looking at the Kyushu Kanyu map, and when he heard the words, his spirits were lifted, and he said, "Hurry up, bring the letter to me to see." ”
A line of small words came into view: If Ao Tuo Ma, last year's kindness of help, today with this return, Jin Guo Zheng, I hope that Brother Ziyan can show his prestige in this battle, and the world will know from now on!
Seeing this, Ruo Ziyan patted his thigh and smiled, "Okay, great! Quick, call me immediately, that is, Ruo Ao's generals will start preparing for battle, once the Jin State starts a war on the border of my Chu State, we will have a reason to fight back strongly." ”
"In this war, I want to see if it is his northern Jin State that is arrogant and arrogant, or is it my southern Chu State that is arrogant? Since they want to use Zheng State to demonstrate against our Chu State, if we don't save Zheng State, it will inevitably make other small princes in the world who are attached to our Chu State think that our Chu State is afraid of the Jin State, and they will be demoralized. And Chen and Wei are small countries, since they have defected to the Jin State, we don't have to be polite. I heard that Chen Gong had just died, but he didn't send a message to my Chu State. How can I, the State of Chu, not offer condolences?"
"Let Yang Wei take 50,000 troops to send Chen Gong on his last journey. Ruo Ao Ziyan said slowly, confidently, and calmly.
"Yes, Childe! Yang Wei takes the order!"
"Now there are two days to go to the field hunting conference, before the army starts, this week's little angel of the country, we also have to entertain well, I am not afraid that he provokes Ruo Ao Yuejiao, I am not afraid that he will not provoke!"
A huge tongue of fire suddenly rolled up in the furnace with the wind, reflecting the burning eyes of the man on the jade steps, as if he saw the unprecedented vast territory of the Chu State, from Qi and Jin in the north to Wuyue in the east, and his footprints were everywhere.
In the heavy rain, the heralds from the Chu Palace brought Ling Yinzi's meaning.
Ruo Ziyan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he smiled, "Let's go, we should go back too!"
If this news was told to Huang'er, she would be as excited as he was, right?
Thinking of this, Ruo Ziyan suddenly felt a little uncertain, and asked instead, "Is there anything going on in the East Palace in the past two days?"
Qingpu heard the joy on his face, and Zhengse replied, "Childe, everything is as usual for the princess of the East Palace. ”
"Is it? business as usual?"
If Ao Ziyan heard this, his big hand suddenly tightened, and his deep eyes darkened.
