Chapter 392: The Mystery of the Flood
A day after the flood passed, the capital was in full battle, especially the Divine Slayer Cavalry was fully prepared for battle outside the city. Wengu expected that the Tang people would definitely take this opportunity to attack, and this time he wanted to make meritorious service again, and he wanted to let Emperor Liang know that the four armies of the Great Liang were the most reliable in the end.
Standing on the high platform of the barracks and looking at Huangshui, a pride in achieving no achievements arose, and he was very much looking forward to the appearance of the army of the Tang Dynasty in his sight, once they appeared, he would give a head-on blow according to the plan.
"Big brother."
A faint voice came, needless to say, Yutai Wengu also knew who it was. He didn't bother to look back, and asked directly in an impatient tone, "What's the matter?" ”
"Big brother, are you waiting for Tang's army?"
Tai Wengu was very unhappy in his heart, if a person's mind was very easy to be guessed by others, how could he be happy? Besides, it's still something that shouldn't be announced for the time being.
"We are soldiers, and the duty of a soldier is naturally to protect the family and defend the country, you better go back to the barracks first, you are not needed here!"
The Weasel had long been accustomed to the attitude of the eldest brother towards him, and he continued: "Big brother, the army of the Lower Tang Dynasty will not come. ”
Tai Wengu turned his head and asked in disgust: "What are you talking nonsense?" On what basis do you conclude that the Don army will not come? This was a good opportunity to siege the city, how could they just give it up? ”
"Big brother, since you all know that this is a good opportunity to attack the city, don't you know it? The enemy had already anticipated his actions, and a slightly clever general would not take the risk of fighting a tough battle with an army that had already made sufficient preparations, after all, it was not to the point where he could not fight. ”
The first thing that Wengu grasped was the judgment of the war in the words, and as for the sarcasm about himself in the words, he may have heard it, but he was too lazy to care about it for the time being.
"Are you so sure?"
"Big brother, the best time to really attack the capital is not now, but when Huazhou is flooded, at that time we have no defense at all, and the best time for the Tang army to attack the capital from the other side along the official road of Bingzhou City. Today, the flood has begun to recede, isn't it obvious that we can be fully prepared for the use of troops in the lower Tang Dynasty? Big brother, let's go back to the barracks to rest first. ”
Wengu's face was cold and hot for a while, this conversation was only known to the two brothers, but he still felt that his IQ had been crushed, so that his dignified god-killing general did not have any face at all. wanted to be angry, but what the Yutai sickle said was not wrong, and the Yutai Wengu endured the anger in his heart and finally glanced at Huangshui, and then walked back to the barracks without paying attention to his third brother.
The scythe looked at the back of the eldest brother, there was no longer the usual loss in his eyes, he still hoped that the eldest brother could look back at himself, even if it was just a glance, but unfortunately fantasy can only be fantasy after all.
Yong Wujian of Bingzhou didn't expect his intentions to be guessed by such an inconspicuous disabled person as Liang Chao, but even if everyone in Liang Chao knew his intentions, it didn't matter, he didn't plan to send troops at this time. These sailors under their command are all personally selected and trained by themselves, and they are the weight of their own foothold in the Tang Dynasty.
Yong Wujian has been waiting, he is waiting for an opportunity and at the same time waiting for an army. It's time to calculate that the time has come, and Yong Wujian believes that there will be no accidents along the way, all he has to do is continue to wait.
"Your Excellency."
"Oh, Dragon Master, please take a seat, please take a seat."
"The small ones don't sit down, the small ones just come to inform the commander that the army of the water division has arrived."
Bouncing up from the chair, staring at Long Wen with glowing eyes, he didn't hide the excitement in his heart at all, "Great, the time I've been waiting for is finally coming!" ”
When Yong Wujian came to the outside of Bingzhou City with a team of men, what he saw was the true strength of the Lower Tang Water Division: from outside the city to the end of the downstream, all he could see were masts, judging from the dense vision, there were hundreds of ships.
"The Commander is really a good plan!" Dugu couldn't help but look at Yongwujian with a more admiring look. "The dozen or so ships in the past were just hiding people's eyes, and those stupid Liang people were clever enough to take advantage of the night to scuttle our ships, but they didn't know that they just helped us."
Dugu Gu and the others are standing on the towering embankment outside the city of Bingzhou at this moment, under their feet is the rolling water, and under the water are the ships that have been scuttled, it is these ships that have become the heroes of the terrain under the artificial effect, so that this flood failed to enter the city of Bingzhou.
At this time, standing outside the city of Bingzhou, you can clearly see what the people of the Tang Dynasty have done: from the city gate to the place where the river turns, all of them are piled up loess, and all of these loess come from the bend, which was brought up by Yongwujian when he sent people to dredge the river. At the beginning, the soldiers of the Guangyuan Army were still wondering how the Tang people were so kind and took the initiative to help dredge the river, and if they were present at this time, they would understand the true intentions of the Tang people.
After months of hard work, the narrowest and most crooked river channel was dug up as wide as the other rivers, and even the yellow sand at the bottom of the river was dug cleanly, and all the dug up river sand and yellow mud were buried along the road from the outside of the city to the next city. It was with the efforts of the people of the Tang Dynasty that the terrain of Bingzhou City was raised by a few zhang, which allowed them to escape this flood.
The flood was caused by heavy rain, but that wall of water was not all natural disasters, in fact, it was all man-made disasters. When he ordered the dredging of the river, he also sent a group of people to lift the river at the bend and use silt to fill in an artificial lake. This lake was originally not big, and because it was far away from Huazhou City, the Guangyuan Army soldiers in Huazhou City did not find it in time.
The lake grew rapidly in the following heavy rains, and eventually grew into a large lake with open water, and when the water was too full to fit, Yong Wuxian ordered the embankment to be dug to make the lake tilt as fast as possible, so that one after another water walls were created, and their target was the city of Huazhou.
When the lake water is completely tilted, Huazhou City has also become a Zeguo, and the purpose of mediocrity has been achieved. Taking advantage of the right time and place and not spending a single soldier to successfully destroy Huazhou City, he achieved such a record in this move, how should he be complacent about others, but Yong Wujian never mentioned it to anyone, he only saw these fleets that had arrived in Bingzhou, and his ambition far exceeded people's expectations.
"Your Excellency, the commendation document of the Khan King will arrive soon." Dugu said proudly.
Yong Wujian was not moved at all, he just said lightly: "When the time comes, please ask Xiaoxiang to help you accept it, I will be busy from today onwards, and all irrelevant chores will still have Xiaoxiang." After speaking, he didn't wait for Dugu Gu to reply, and walked towards the ship, Dugu Gu wanted to keep up, but was stopped by a personal soldier.
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to discuss the next tactical arrangements, this matter still doesn't bother Xiao Xiang, and please go back to rest first." After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Dugu and disappeared into the ship not long after.
Dugu nodded with a smile on his face in the direction where Yongwujian disappeared, and then turned back to the city, without showing any dissatisfaction the whole time. This scene was all seen in Long Wen's eyes, although he also did not get the opportunity to board the ship.
After a few days of heavy rain, the rain began to subside, and then on the third day, the weather began to clear, and the sun loomed among the clouds, giving people the feeling that it might be a sunny day tomorrow. This was a good thing for the people of the Liang Dynasty, who were hit by the flood, and they were finally able to recover from the flood. But there is one person who can't recover.
"General?" Gu Hongxuan's eyes were full of concern, he had already said several times about returning to Beijing earlier to report on his work, and it was still these few words, and it would be really meaningless to talk about it. But not to mention that he was really worried, such a big matter, Emperor Liang was furious, Yang Zhong only wrote two letters.
"I know what you have to say, once I return to Beijing, I will never have a chance to leave, and I am to blame for going to prison, but I really can't ignore these people."
Yang Zhong has been insisting on helping the people restore their homes on the front line these days and reorganizing the Guangyuan Army, and he hopes that his actions will make up for his mistakes. He didn't plan to deal with Gu Hongxuan anymore, he saw an old man carrying a bag of rice walking in his direction, and Yang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Thank you, General!"
"Old man, you have to be careful, why don't I carry it."
When the old man looked up, he saw a face that did not match the white hair of the head, it was the face of a young man, and he recognized it.
"Is that you?"
"The last general, Xuan Shaoning, has seen the general!"
