Chapter 637: Dredging the Canal
Leading this army forward in the rain was Cao Cao's fierce general Xiahoudun.
If Liu Wei saw Xiahoudun, he would definitely sigh with emotion, his crossing did not have little impact on many people, at least Xiahoudun, who led the army, was affected a lot.
With a purple and gold helmet on his head and a familiar bronze armor, Xiahoudun was holding a big knife, his eyes were blazing, and he looked into the distance in the rain.
Walking beside Xiahoudun on horseback was Guo Jia, who had just joined Cao Cao.
At this time, Guo Jia was no longer dressed as a scribe, he also wore his hair in a high bun, wore a fish scale armor, and carried a long sword at his waist.
Riding forward with Xiahoudun, the look on Guo Jia's face was not as entangled as Xiahoudun.
His expression was very calm, as if he was confident in the upcoming battle.
"Damn, it's raining so hard!" While leading the army to march, Xiahoudun raised his hand to wipe his face, and said to Guo Jia on the side: "Strategist, if this rain falls like this, I'm afraid our army will have to suffer a lot......
"Our army suffers, and others have to suffer the same!" Turning his head to Xiahoudun and smiling slightly, Guo Jia said to him: "I will send troops to attack Liu Bei on the order of Ming Gong, and we only need to break Liu Bei, as for enduring hardships, gritted our teeth and survived!" ”
"What the military advisor said is true!" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Xiahoudun showed a trace of shame on his face, and then asked Guo Jia: "I don't know if the military division has a good strategy to break the enemy?" ”
"Liu Bei sent troops, grain and grass came out of the plain, our army does not need to fight with Liu Bei's army head-on, only need to lead the army to break through the plain, and the other army will be broken!" Looking ahead, Guo Jia pulled up an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Xiahoudun: "If there is no accident, the troops can be collected within a month." ”
Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Xiahou was stunned.
Before sending out the troops, he didn't think that he would be able to collect the troops in a month or two, although Liu Bei was very weak, but he was not so weak that he couldn't hold it for even a month.
"If the Plains Army is defending the city and closing the city, it will not be ......" Guo Jiayan was full of confidence, Xiahoudun still frowned a little uneasily, and asked him: "I don't know how the military division can break the enemy?" ”
"This rain can be used!" While walking forward, Guo Jia raised his face and glanced at the gray sky, and said to Xiahoudun: "As long as this rain falls for another three or five days, the rivers around the plain will definitely overflow, and if the city is not channeled, it will also flood the city. ”
"Ugh!" Although he had led the army to fight for several years, Xiahoudun never thought that he could take the city with just the help of the rain and without the soldiers fighting at all, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The rain was as predicted by Liu Wei and others, and it didn't stop all at once.
Three days later, on the shore of Luoshui, the black pressure pressed a group of people who could not see the end, wielding the hoe and shovel, digging a channel for flood discharge in the rain.
Bags filled with dirt were piled up north of the riverbank, and to the south of the riverbank, several ditches had been dug far away, and the river had been widened much more than before.
Dressed in the deep clothes of the common people and holding a shovel in his hand, Liu Wei, who had been busy for a long time, straightened his waist and raised his hand to wipe his face.
His hands were covered with muddy water, and this wipe actually wiped his face into a flower face.
But like a torrential rain, it washed over his face, and soon washed the mud off his face.
"Your Highness, take a break!" Holding a shovel in his hand, straightening his waist, and about to move his waist, Wang Liu, who was also covered in mud, ran to his side and shouted at him: "Your Highness has been busy all morning......
"If you slow down, this river will break!" Turning his head to look at the riverbed, which was already higher than the previous two days, Liu Wei said to Wang Liu: "The people are busy dredging the ditches, and this king has no reason to rest!" ”
As he spoke, he pushed the shovel to the ground and dug up the dirt with all his might.
On the bank of the river, the people who opened the canal under the black pressure were all busy, and under the torrential rain, the Luoshui River was actually boiling with steam.
"It's time to eat! Time to eat! While the crowd was busy, a group of soldiers carrying hundreds of baskets ran to the river, and an officer shouted to the people: "Everyone eat and eat, and then go on!" :”
When they heard that it was time to eat, the people threw down their work and ran towards the soldiers carrying the baskets.
Knowing that the food had been delivered, Wang Liu also squeezed into the crowd, received two cloth bags from a soldier, and ran towards Liu Wei's side.
"Your Highness!" Turning back to Liu Bian's side again, Wang Liu handed a small cloth bag to Liu Bian and said to him, "Let's eat some food and rest for a while." ”
Reaching out to take the small cloth bag containing the food, Liu Wei sat down in the muddy field and said to Wang Liu: "You can rest for a while." ”
"Hmm!" Wang Liu answered, and after Liu Wei sat down, he also sat down not far from Liu Wei.
The ground is full of mud, and sitting on the ground is like sitting in a puddle of water.
But whether it is Liu Wei or Wang Liu, they can no longer feel the discomfort caused by the humidity, they are already soaked, and it is okay to get wet.
In the small cloth bag, it was golden boiled corn.
Heavy rain poured on the cloth bag and soaked the corn.
The people on the riverbank, including Liu Wei, were all eating corn in the rain.
At the beginning of dredging the canal, Liu Wei came here and ate and worked with the people, and the people were still very afraid, but later, they were used to it.
However, with the addition of Liu Wei, when the recruited people worked, they all exerted all their strength, for fear that they would do less than others. Even the women and children of the nearby villages came to the banks of the river to help.
When the people dug the canals, not only were the daily food provided by the Luoyang army, but at the end of the evening, they could also get the corresponding copper coins according to the head as a reward.
In the eyes of the people, their participation in the excavation of the canal is doing things for their own family, and it is beneficial to do things for their own family, and what is the king of Luoyang who came to take the lead in the work?
It was precisely because Liu Wei personally wielded shovels and hoes on the banks of the river that the progress of the canal was faster than expected.
Heavy rain is still falling, and if the canal is not connected in another two days, the nearby villages may be damaged.
Although the crops planted in early spring have already been harvested, there are still newly planted seedlings in the fields, and once the village is flooded, all the crops in the fields will be drowned, and the people will have to live a year without food.
After gobbling up the food, many of the people were already lifting tools, and one by one they walked back to the place where they were working.
Sitting in the muddy water nest, looking at the people who had already started to work, Liu Wei said to Wang Liu on the side: "The people of my big Luoyang are like this, how can this king worry about the disaster in Luoyang." ”
"It's all the credit of His Highness!" As Liu Wei expected, Wang Liu smiled slightly after listening to him praise the people, and said to him: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness coming here in person, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who are slacking off at this time!" ”
Hearing Wang Liu's words, Liu Wei smiled slightly and did not speak.
Luoshui, which used to be gentle, roared in the heavy rain.
The waves rolled high and crashed against the riverbed and the riverbank, making a huge roar.
The waves hit the riverbank, splashing in clusters, and the overflowing splash fell on the riverbank, causing ripples in the water nests on the bank.
"It's time to get to work!" Looking up at the cloudy sky, Liu Wei stood up, carried a shovel, and walked towards the canal he was digging just now.
Liu Wei participated in the excavation of the canal on the bank of the river, but he suffered from Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and a group of guards who came here with him.
Every day before dawn, everyone followed him out of Luoyang City, until it was dark, and the people on the river bank had finished their work, and then returned to Luoyang with Liu Wei.
In this way, although it was only two or three days later, I still felt as if the strength of my whole body was about to be withdrawn, and my bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
But as the king of Luoyang, Liu Wei seemed to be unaware, still wielding shovels and hoes every day, busy with the work that other nobles disdained to do.
The people who lived at the lowest level did this kind of work that relied on their bodies to feed themselves, and in the eyes of the nobles, manual labor was a lowly thing.
Mo said that Liu Wei was the king of Luoyang, and even the following officials, if it were not under Liu Wei's rule, I am afraid that he would disdain to lift shovels and hoes and participate in the excavation of canals like the people.
The fact that nobles like the King of Luoyang were able to come to the shore and do the same work as them was undoubtedly a very strong touch for ordinary people.
Under the flying shovels and hoes, the canal is stretching little by little.
Just when the canal was like a long dragon sticking to the ground, extending into the distance, a guard quickly ran towards Liu Bian, and when Liu Bian approached, he bowed with his fists and said to Liu Bian: "Your Royal Highness, the princesses are here!" ”
Hearing that the princesses were coming, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced back.
Sure enough, in the heavy rain, dozens of fast horses were rushing towards him, and on the back of the first few fast horses, Tang Ji, Cai Yan, Tao Huanniang and others were sitting impressively, and even Guan Qing and Xiongnu, who were pregnant with Liujia, also came here with everyone.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Tang Ji and the others, Liu Wei thrust the shovel in his hand to the ground, frowned slightly, and fell his eyes on Guan Qing, and said to her with a bit of blame in his tone: "Don't you know that you are pregnant, and it is raining heavily now, what are you doing here?" What if you catch a cold? ”
The princesses who had just returned to get off the horse were reprimanded by Liu Wei, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Tang Ji, who was the wife of Liu Bian, said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness works on the shore of Luoshui all day long, and I, as a woman of Your Highness, want to share your Highness's worries!" "The one who led this army forward in the rain was the fierce general Xiahoudun under Cao Cao.
If Liu Wei saw Xiahoudun, he would definitely sigh with emotion, his crossing did not have little impact on many people, at least Xiahoudun, who led the army, was affected a lot.
