During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu excavated the earliest section of the Grand Canal of China - Hangou, which communicated the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and Huai'an and the canal have been accompanied by each other since then.

Later, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty dug a canal, and Huai'an Mansion was one of the four prefectures of Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huaiyang, and Huaiyang, and the four important towns on the canal.

The Northern Expeditionary Army camped on a high slope to the west, overlooking the city of Huai'an below, surrounded by sub-cities. Dahewei, Liu Lingtai, and Qingjiangpu Gong defend Huai'an City, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the large camp of the Chinese army, the generals of the water and fire battalions were all there, and a sand table was set up in the open area. The view is best here, and you can clearly see the whole picture below. There was a road ahead, and there were constantly prisoners, who were being driven to work in the camp at the bottom of the slope.

Zhu Dadian pointed at the escorted general and said angrily: "Are you blind and can't see us discussing here?" ”

Hou Xuanyan was complacent, and said disdainfully: "A group of captured Qing dogs, let them do coolies first, and I will kill the sacrificial flag sooner or later." It's just a bunch of dead people, taboo something. ”

The Qing soldiers who were escorted howled, and the Northern Expeditionary Army killed several with one shot, dragged away the corpses and continued to escort them.

Hou Xuanyan pointed to Huai'an on the sand table and said: "The ancient road of the Huai River is low-lying, and there are dozens of artificially dug salt rivers. As long as there is a large flood from above, it is bound to flood several states and counties downstream. ”

There was a lot of exclamation around, Li Haoxian and Zhu Dadian were all hesitant, and the other generals looked at each other, wanting each other to stop each other.

Hou Xuanyan was unconscious, and said excitedly: "We sent troops to occupy Qingjiangpu, broke the embankment and returned to the five dams of the sea, and blew up the Nanguan Dam, Xinba, Zhongba, Cheluo Dam, and Zhaoguan Dam. Divert the water of Hongze Lake to irrigate Huai'an, and the Qing soldiers will be all fish and turtles, hahahaha"

The whole camp was silent, only Hou Xuanyan laughed wildly, and finally Wu Yi, the deputy commander of the Shuizi Battalion, couldn't help it, and said: "Guogong, if the five dams of Guihai break the embankment, it is not trivial. Not only Huai'an was affected, but the entire Yangzhou was a sea of mud. At that time, there will be more than one million people suffering, and the rich and prosperous Huaiyang will become a hell on earth. The last general thought that it was absolutely impossible at this time, and asked the prince to think twice. ”

Hou Xuanyan frowned, his tone was a little cold, he was still concerned about Wu Yi's qualifications, and said: "General Wu doesn't want the benevolence of women, now it is a dispute over national fortunes and Taoism, where can I take care of the lives of some small people." The gains and losses of one city and one place do not matter, as long as the Huai'an defenders can be completely annihilated, and when the Ming Dynasty is restored, we will control the water and rebuild the two Huai. ”

Wu Yi's face turned red, and he said angrily: "What is Guogong's words, the displacement of millions of people can be regarded as a trivial matter?" If such poisonous tactics are used, what is the difference between us and the Manchus? Although the surrounding generals didn't speak, they obviously agreed with Wu Yi, which made Hou Xuanyan's anger soar. Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Yi became even more bold, and continued: "In short, the matter of breaking the embankment must not be allowed, otherwise it will be stinking for 10,000 years, leaving a notoriety in the annals of history, and the work of the Duke of the Kingdom to make up for the sky will also be eclipsed." ”

Hou Xuanyan said angrily: "Wu Yi! Thinking that you are the old man of the righteous master, Lao Tzu has repeatedly endured it, and you are not finished. Ci is not in charge of the army, and the battlefield is originally life and death. Fire and water are ruthless, I make good use of it, Changzhou, Qingliu, which time is not to save the crisis. are all like you, looking forward and looking at the kindness of women, the Qing soldiers have already crushed Jiangnan. ”

Wu Yi didn't expect that in this case, Hou Xuanyan would be stubborn and self-serving, and said with a stiff neck: "It's useless for the Duke of Guo to say anything, it's absolutely impossible to break the embankment!" ”

Hou Xuanyan kicked the sand table over, his feet hurt non-stop, his toes kept upturning on the ground, and he stepped on the sand to make a pit. Li Haoxian gasped and said secretly: The commander is too hard, I'm afraid that my nails will fall off now.

Because of the severe pain under his feet, Hou Xuanyan, whose voice was even sharper, raised three decibels in vain, and shouted: "It's against you, when it's your turn to give orders in the Northern Expeditionary Army, I say that if you can do it, you can do it." Pass the order to go down, storm Qinggangpo, and blow up the embankment! ”

Wu Yi rolled up his sleeves, mighty and unyielding: "Hou Xuanyan, you are stubborn and self-serving, you will kill yourself if you do this poisonous trick." ”

"Pull me down, cut it."

Wu Yi is a veteran, and the surrounding generals have knelt down to intercede for him, and Hou Xuanyan has not disappeared from his anger: "This guy is rampant and rude, he despises my military discipline, and the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and he will be beaten with fifty military sticks." ”

The young general who escorted the captives seemed to be stunned by this great change, and actually stopped in place.

Thousands of Qing prisoners watched coldly, looking at the soft sticks of the executioners and Wu Yi's uncaring howls, and they were all full of disdain in their hearts.

Qing Bing rode a horseman, and the general next to him muttered in a low voice: "This bitter trick, even if it is a small soldier like me, I can see it clearly." These people are making fools of us. ”

The Qing general next to him was a general of the Han Eight Banners, and his eyes flashed, but he said happily: "He deliberately acted for us to see, and Bacheng wanted us to go back to deliver the message, so that his treacherous plan could succeed." Blessed are those of us, there is hope for us to get out of the dead. Wait, this beaten general, will come to us tonight. ”

The young general of the Northern Expeditionary Army finally reacted, whipped a Qing soldier on the back, and scolded: "Look at what, a group of pigtailed pigs, don't go quickly." ”

That night, Wu Yi's letter of surrender was placed on Wakda's case, although the people in Huai'an City were panicked, but those wealthy merchants and salt merchants were relatively firm, and they didn't want Hou Xuanyan to enter Huai'an. After all, during the period of Manchu occupation, those who refused to surrender had long since died, and each of these remaining wealthy merchants was a lackey of the Qing court. They have long heard of Hou Xuanyan's methods, and many collaborators and businessmen who died in Yangzhou are all their friends. With the funding of these people, coupled with Zheng Zhilong's materials, Wakda can be said to be very rich. Of all the Eight Banner soldiers in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, none of them could compare to him with excellent weapons and abundant food and grass.

Wakda couldn't read Chinese characters, a Han staff member shook his head, and read the book with a sneer, Wakda kept shaking his head: "Why is this so familiar?" ”

The Han staff said with a smile: "The Han people have a book called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhou Yu in the book is like this." ”

Wakda slapped the table and laughed wildly: "I said why is it so familiar, it turns out that he Hou Xuanyan wants to give me a bitter trick, it seems that he wants to trick me out of the city, ambush on the road of Qingjiangpu, and want to ambush us." It's a pity that even if he is Zhou Yu and Wu Yi is Huang Gai, I am not Cao Cao. ”

The staff said in their hearts: Although this barbarian is vulgar, the characters of the Three Kingdoms are quite complete.

Wakda's burly body, with a pair of cunning little eyes, turned around, and thought: Even if his lame plan fails, and the 200,000 army surrounds me, it will be a matter of time before the city is broken. Is there a way to use this bitter ploy to turn defeat into victory?
