Chapter 279: Origin

In the direction of Bahu Lake, the peaks are continuous.

In the middle of the night, under the faint starlight, a thin white line suddenly appeared in the sky of Bahu Lake.

The white line quickly crossed the sky, and with the sound of majestic wind and thunder and the roar of the waves, the flood flooded the land.

The dam of Bahu Lake has failed!

On the earth, all kinds of animals ran frantically, the wind swept and the flood rushed and chased, drowning everything, countless houses collapsed, trees fell, and the earth became an ocean.

Crying, screaming, collapsing, banging...... The flood swept by, turning into a sea of water, and as far as the eye could see, the turbid waves were raging, and all kinds of corpses and debris were floating...... The eyes are full of desolation.

Wei Palace, South Study.

In the south study, King Wei's angry roar suddenly erupted, "This bastard! Why is this bastard causing trouble every time? Immediately draw up an order, dismiss him on the spot, investigate and deal with it, and behead ......"

Liubu Shangshu, Erwang, Shen Lun and Luo Taiwei all bowed their heads and remained silent, when the King of Wei was angry, it was best to shut up, otherwise he would become the target of his anger.

"Why don't you speak?" King Wei held a secret letter in his hand, held it high, looked around at the crowd, his voice was raised, and he was irritated.

For a moment, King Wei looked at Yang Xuchen, the secretary of the military department.

"Tell me, how to deal with this matter?" said King Wei with his eyes narrowed.

"Congratulations to the king, this is a miraculous feat! Digging a dam and bursting, flooding the banks of the Heng River, destroying the base of the South Vietnamese Naval Division, running out of ammunition and food, and having no choice but to retreat, our army just crossed the river in an all-round way and quickly occupied a large area of South Vietnamese land south of the Heng River. Yang Xuchen said cautiously.

"Congratulations, what are you doing when you cross the river? Where the flooded areas are, the houses have collapsed, the grain has been destroyed, all the land has become barren, the people have been displaced, what can the army do in the past? Look at the people starving to death, freezing to death, and dying of disease? Once the land is occupied, it will be our country's land, and in the past, did the army build houses or send grain to the people? Or did it treat the people's diseases?......

Pause.

"The Southern Expedition is to conquer, not to destroy! Can you use this desperate plan?" the King of Wei roared, "Tell me one by one, what should I do now?"

Everyone looked at each other.

After a while, Meng Haidao, the right minister: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, and we can only follow the trend." The most urgent task at the moment was to cross the river immediately, first, to quickly provide relief to the people, reduce their losses, and prevent the people from being delayed for too long in a helpless situation, becoming resentful of our army, and losing the hearts of the people; second, to quickly occupy various strategic points while the South Vietnamese court had not had time to react. ”

King Wei nodded.

"Destroying people's homes, displacing people, destroying people's homes, and expecting people to be grateful to you? Just a few bags of rice, trying to win the hearts of the people?"

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and shook their heads.

The destruction of the embankment is too vicious and the consequences are too serious, and it is indeed difficult to make up for it.

"Therefore, all information must be strictly ordered to be blocked, and it must not be admitted that the destruction of the dam was committed by our army. Shen Lun sighed.

Everyone's eyes looked at Shen Lun.

"The dam collapse of Bahu Lake is known to the whole world, how can you deny it?" King Wei was angry, and his voice was raised.

"We can start from two aspects, one is to immediately summon the envoys of various countries to protest against the South Vietnamese dam construction cut corners, Bahu Dam into a tofu scum project, resulting in the dam failure, causing floods in the lower reaches of the Heng River, our people suffered serious losses, and demanded that the South Vietnamese court must pay compensation. ”

Everyone's eyes widened, how else could they do this?

"The second Ming ordered Zhang Bang to inform the banks of the Heng River and spread the news, saying that the Taiping army occupied Bahu Lake, took Bahu Lake as a nest, and was a disaster, and even dug embankments and dams, so that the people along the river cooperated with our army to clear the Taiping army. ”

Everyone smiled bitterly, Shen Lun's thick skin was difficult to match, and the insidious scheming was admirable.

King Wei breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of trick can only Shen Lun come up with, and laughed at himself: "Only if Aiqing's plan and that bastard's trip are coordinated can the world be peaceful." ”

After a moment, King Wei shook his head and sighed, "How can such a big event be hidden from the world?"

"It is enough to hide it for a while, as long as our army can quickly cross the river, occupy strategic points, and all disaster relief measures are in place, the people can be calmed down. The overall situation must be determined, and there will be no more storms afterwards. Yang Xuchen said excitedly.

The dam collapse can allow the army to cross the river quickly, which is in line with the intention of the Ministry of War, as for other serious consequences, in fact, Yang Xuchen does not care much about it.

Shen Lun said disdainfully: "Then someone has to preside over this matter." Who has the ability to take on this great task as well as to fight a war at the same time?"

Song Shangshu nodded slightly, and said with some concern: "This incident happened too suddenly, and the front line could not draw suitable civil officials to send to South Vietnam, and sending officials from Xijing was too far away, and it was bound to make a mistake;

Different identities will look at the problem from different angles, and it is not appropriate to let soldiers take care of disaster relief.

King Wei pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "To put it bluntly, in addition to wiping that bastard's ass, you have to let him be promoted and make a fortune?"

Hearing this, everyone woke up to the fact that this matter had to rely on Lei Shaoxuan.

Lei Shaoxuan graduated from Guozijian, and he learned more about civil administration, but Lei Shaoxuan is so young, he has just been promoted to a third-grade official for less than a month, and he is going to be promoted again?

"It is impossible to talk about making a fortune, but it is necessary to be promoted, and without a unified order, it is difficult to balance disaster relief and war. Don't forget, the logistics base of the South Vietnamese naval division was destroyed, there was a lack of food and grass, and the forced retreat was temporary, and its strength was not damaged at all, and it would counterattack at any time. ”

"I don't deny that kid is ruthless and vicious, scheming, but he has no experience in commanding the army, and it is really inappropriate to be promoted immediately. Captain Luo frowned.

"Among the generals of the imperial court, except for the Northwest Army, most of them have experience in leading the army, and who is younger than that kid?" Don't forget, he has been fighting in the northwest for many years......" Shen Lun said disapprerovingly.

"He's nothing but a soldier in the Northwest......"

"When I find an experienced general, the daylily will already be cold......

“......”

"Stop arguing. King Wei said impatiently.

The matter is urgent, and if the argument continues, I don't know how long it will take.

"In extraordinary times, use extraordinary people and do extraordinary things. Since there is no one more suitable than him, use him. King Wei said decisively.

King Wei had a gloomy face, "There are two purposes, one is to ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees, stabilize the situation as soon as possible, and calm the people's hearts, and the other is to ensure the safety of the troops crossing the river and respond to the counterattack of the South Vietnamese naval division at any time." Therefore, in addition to giving him absolute power, it is also necessary to send people to assist him to make up for his lack of experience in leading the army. The terrain of South Vietnam is mostly plain, which is conducive to a frontal decisive battle of large forces, and is not conducive to ambush annihilation, after crossing the river, our army has the advantage of military strength, and in a head-on duel, the deployment of troops is clear at a glance, as long as you do not make a fool, even if you can't win, you won't easily fail!"

When it comes to the experience of fighting, the King of Wei is no worse than anyone present.

"Most of the elite of our army is led by the King of Qi to attack from the Western Front, and the elite under the jurisdiction of the logistics department has a very heavy task of guarding the logistics base, and it cannot be ......moved lightly," Yang Shangshu of the military department was puzzled.

"The danger of Henghe has been broken, and the logistics base does not need such a strong defensive force, and it can be handed over to the local army. The 100,000 field troops under the jurisdiction of the logistics line were reorganized into the Eastern Army on the same day, crossed the river as soon as possible, and handed over to the kid to toss. King Wei said fiercely.

Time was pressing, and for a while he couldn't find a suitable person to deal with the critical affairs caused by the Bahu dam failure, a helpless plan was formulated, and Lei Shaoxuan became the youngest military giant in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The crowd dispersed one after another, and the King of Wei left the Six Kings and Shen Lun behind.

King Wei looked straight at Shen Lun, "What do you think of that kid?"

Shen Lun was confused for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, treacherous and cunning, insidious and vicious, but it's okay, kind-hearted, not greedy for money, not lustful, loyal and filial son, righteous and ......."

King Wei's eyes widened, interrupted Shen Lun, and scolded angrily: "Fuck off, you think he is a saint and reincarnated?"

King Wei looked at the six kings and said in a deep voice: "Plans to break through the Eagle Cliff Pass, hide from the sky and cross the sea, raid the granaries of Nalan and Pingjiang, dig embankments and break dams, scheming insidious and vicious, hitting the key step by step, and completely laying the foundation for the victory of the Southern Expedition, such a demonic scheme, how can ordinary young people come up with such a demonic scheme? What is his origin?"

Lei Shaoxuan is so bewitching, he can't help but make people suspicious, he can't figure out Lei Shaoxuan's origin, King Wei is uneasy, after all, Lei Shaoxuan is now shouldering a heavy responsibility, and he can't afford to make mistakes.

A strategy, maybe you can think of it with a flash of inspiration, but such a clever strategy, vision and strategy are indispensable, Lei Shaoxuan is such a young death row prisoner, if he wants to say that he was born with such ability, King Wei will never believe it, there must be an inside story.

The six kings hesitated for a moment and sighed, he couldn't hide it, otherwise it would be a crime of deception.

"In the death row camp, that kid often asks Yuan Wenbo for lessons!" said the six kings vaguely.

King Wei's eyes widened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "No wonder it's so demonic!"

"Brother Wang, you won't blame him for this suspicion, will you?" said the Sixth King with some uneasiness.

"What do you blame him for? The Queen Mother is kind to his whole family, Lao Tzu promotes him every day, can he still betray me? Hmph, the biggest disadvantage of Yuan Wenbo is that he values love and righteousness, if that kid is really a disciple of Yuan Wenbo, he will never bear me!" King Wei said easily, in fact, Yuan Wenbo was exiled to the Sea of Bitterness, and he never betrayed King Wei.

Shen Lun pursed his lips, and secretly slandered in his heart, when did it become a disadvantage to be affectionate? It is estimated that only ruthless emperors and people who are good at using human nature will say so.

On the Heng River, dozens of warships lined up, and a tall black-brown warship in the middle rode the wind and waves on the turbid and rolling water, as if walking on the ground.

This ship is nearly ten zhang tall, looks majestic and cold, a flag floats on the high command tower, and in the middle of the border flying leopard flag, a big "white" character is written.

On the bow deck, several soldiers surrounded a middle-aged man, who had a cold face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, his hand pressed his sword, and his eyes showed a fierce light and roared fiercely: "Taiping Army, Zhang Mazi, one day Lao Tzu will cut you with a thousand knives and break your corpse!"

A man wearing a gray robe and looking like a scribe next to him persuaded: "Dashuai, the base has been washed away by the flood, most of the supplies and ordnance have been washed away, the flood has flooded the dock, and the ships cannot dock, and now our army is floating on the water, losing all provisions, once it falls into a confrontation with the enemy, the situation will be very dangerous, it is better to retreat to the rear base along the Qingjiang River first, and plan for the future!"

The middle-aged man was Bai Wu, the commander of the naval division in eastern South Vietnam, and the man who looked like a literati was the staff officer of the naval division, Yang Shi.
