Chapter 158 The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the Lu River breaks

After Liu Xuewu set up camp here, looking at the surrounding terrain, he faintly felt that something was wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the enemy he faced was Sima Yi, who was known for his cunning, so Liu Xuewu had to deal with it carefully. In order to be safe, Liu Xuewu observed the terrain and chose a low-lying area near the water source. It's just that Liu Xuewu kept an eye on it, and secretly ordered the troops to be divided into two routes, so that Zhuge Liang led half of the men and horses around Sima Yi's rear to wait for the opportunity. This is also a way out of the way, in Liu Xuewu's mind, use Zhuge Liang to deal with Sima Yi, such a match is absolutely right, but he doesn't know that he has fallen into other people's calculations.

However, there are more things that make Liu Xuewu curious, such as Sima Yi's garrison in the mountain pass directly opposite Liu Xuewu's camp, and using the terrain of the mountain pass to resist Liu Xuewu's attack. However, Liu Xuewu sent someone to investigate that place, and there was no water source except for a dry spring. Unless you rely on the county town outside the mountain to carry water, it will take a day and a night. In this era, water transportation was not as convenient as it is today, but was transported in small bags of sheepskin. These conditions were extremely difficult, but Sima Yi's army persevered under such conditions.

Could it be the Nalu River, but Liu Xuewu has not observed, and he wants to flood just because of that small river, which is not realistic. After thinking about it, I really can't think of any other reason, so I don't want to think about it. Liu Xuewu made a decision at the moment, instead of worrying about the sky here, it is better to solve it quickly. What intrigues are nihilistic in the face of absolute strength.

As soon as he made up his mind, Liu Xuewu began to gather men and horses to attack Sima Yi's camp. First, there was a salvo of arrows, but because of the wind direction and the problem of being in a low-lying area, the expected goal could not be achieved, so that countless bows and arrows landed before they reached the mountainside. I wanted to use cavalry to charge over, but because of the rugged mountain roads, the war horses in the north were used to fighting on the plains, and they couldn't give full play to their strength advantage in this rugged terrain.

The fire attack was attacked at night, but Sima Yi and others had already prepared, they cleared the grass and trees around the camp, and patrolled the soldiers and sisters at night. Liu Xuewu attacked several times to no avail, and he really had no way to hold the 20,000 horses on the mountain.

And Sima Yi on the mountain did not dare to slack off, although his side successfully repelled Liu Xuewu's several attacks, but in the limited number of soldiers and horses, the loss of personnel on his side was not small. The current Sima Yi is waiting for the opportunity to create Sima Yi, who is familiar with the terrain, and has long been shooting people to store water in the upper reaches of the Lu River. There is a huge reservoir that is said to be left over from the water control of Dayu in ancient times, and now a huge lake has been formed. Don't look at the water of the Lu River like a bigger stream, but once the reservoir of this lake plate is dug up, the sudden flood will definitely surprise people, and it is enough for Liu Xuewu to drink a pot. And Liu Xuewu, who didn't know anything about this place, didn't know that at this time, Sima Zhao had been digging upstream for three days and three nights, and saw that the water of the thousand-year-old reservoir was about to burst. knew that it would cause the lives of the people to be miserable, but Sima Zhao had no choice. This is his chance to finally turn the book, and it is also related to whether their Sima family can rise again. The only obstacle to the way of the demon is now, the eldest brother Sima Shi is dead, and he is the only heir of the Sima family. People are always selfish, and he, Sima Zhao, is just a mortal, and he can't escape this shackle.

With a loud bang, this thousand-year-old reservoir finally broke free from the last reins that bound it, and rushed down, following the terrain, out of control. As a result, an earthquake of magnitude 6 or 7 was triggered, and the surrounding mountains collapsed, coupled with unexpected heavy rains, mudslides and other natural disasters.

When the reservoir burst its banks, Sima Zhao's heart suddenly sank into a trough, and he regretted it. I really regret it. Looking at the city that was washed down by the sudden flood, this city that Liu Xuewu had not had time to capture was destroyed by this ruthless flood. And the thousand-year-old water roar did not follow the tiny Lu River, let alone Liu Xuewu, who flooded the low-lying area. It's true that this person flows to a low place, but how can Liu Xuewu's military camp be flooded. This should not be blamed on Sima Zhao and others digging in the wrong direction, but the waterway division under the reservoir that has been hoarded for thousands of years is complicated, even if it is when Dayu controls the water, he can only block the reservoir and lake here, and then dig a branch like the Lu River to disperse the pressure of the reservoir. All this follows this natural law, and pays attention to the long flow of water. And Sima Zhao is good here, although he knows the reason for this, he doesn't know the strange reason. The dam was destroyed, and the scene of the Yellow River flooding was revived.

At this time, Sima Zhao knelt in front of the reservoir, in pain, and scolded himself for being a sinner for the ages. The thousand-year-old reservoir burst its banks, and the downstream is a vast ocean. Many of the villages that were sent to the city a moment ago are now flooded and completely gone.

As the flood spread, the soldiers in the Sima barracks mutinied. Who called the soldiers recruited by Sima Yi's command are all local sons, how can they still fight here in peace when they see their hometown destroyed. One by one, the bags fled, and those who stayed behind were also surrounded by Liu Xuewu's army, thus abandoning the armor and surrendering. Sima Yi saw that the general trend had gone, and he committed suicide by wielding a knife in the handsome tent. His son Sima Zhao fled, but life was more painful than death, and he returned to the mountains and forests to become a Taoist monk.

didn't mention it later, what was left in Liu Xuewu's heart was a standard mess.

The consequences of this natural and man-made disaster still have to be put to an end by him. Liu Xuewu immediately ordered to mobilize people from all over the country to enter the disaster-stricken area for rescue, mobilized a large number of reserve materials, and called on the eldest father to do a good job of sanitation and disinfection to prevent the plague after the disaster. You must know that in ancient times, after the catastrophe, there must be a great epidemic, and this is caused by the imperfect sanitary conditions at that time. The corpses that have been soaked in the flood will be sparked uniformly, and you must know that if the corpses are not cremated in time on this hot day, the water source will be endangered under the pollution of decaying insects. As Liu Xuewu, who had crossed over, knew this deeply, and immediately ordered the implementation of this prevention plan. Although there was a lot of resistance in the process of implementation, there is no way, I believe in the safety of entering the earth, and it is taboo to die without a whole corpse. This cremation sounds good, but how many people disobey the yang and the yin. But under the compulsory execution of Liu Xuewu's dispatch of the army, how does all this compare with his life?

Not only that, a large number of large grain materials were transported from various states and counties, and Liu Xuewu mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers to help the people rebuild their homes, which made Liu Xuewu's prestige reach its peak again. It's like saying that when the previous princes saw Liu Xuewu and called him the marquis, they still tacitly agreed that Liu Xuewu was the Marquis of Yanmen instead of his father's self-proclaimed king in the clouds. And now the people call Liu Xuewu the King of the Nine Sages. (To be continued.) )
