138 Barrage and embankment

Zhan Xiaobai's expression froze. Axle machinery is a technology only used in horse-drawn carriages and high-end large weapons, and if it was only a civilian carriage, Haw Par Village would never keep it so strictly secret. The rest of the possible "sex" can only be large weapons and equipment.

I didn't expect Haw Par Village to get this kind of weapon. It seems that he must be cautious, most of these weapons are used to restrain the city wall and crowd tactics.

"This intelligence is very important. You continue to keep an eye on the movements of Haw Par Village, especially the wood, iron, and stone craftsmen, as well as the movement of soldiers and horses, and don't miss any clues. There is intelligence directly for Ah Fei to report. ”

"Yes, Boss White." After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

There were a few other players left, and Zhan Xiaobai asked them what information they had gotten.

The players glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "There is a medium-sized village in the upper reaches of the river that is planning a big move, which will be very detrimental to the many villages along the river, and will likely lead to war." ”

"Oh?!"

Zhan Xiaobai didn't understand. Is there a village upstream that wants to provoke a village downstream? As the saying goes, every village should understand this truth. What can an upstream village do to a detriment to a downstream village?

The player said, "Barrage the river and build an embankment!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai gasped, "This trick is ruthless enough!" ”

If the barrage can intercept the flow of water, delay the water shortage in your own village, and accelerate the water shortage in other villages, it is definitely a killer move.

Needless to say, Zhan Xiaobai has already guessed which medium-sized village it is. There are several powerful medium-sized villages in the upper reaches of Xiaohe - led by Perfect Village, Batu Village, and Moxiao Village, as well as several medium-sized villages that have only recently been upgraded.

They are scattered within a hundred miles of the upper reaches of the river.

Perfect Village once claimed to seek a neutral stance and would not participate in wars with other villages, so the possibility of this village barricade is extremely small. Mo Xiaofeng, the village head of Mo Xiao Village, has always been a peacemaker and has won people's hearts everywhere, so he will never do such a thing that offends people. The rest is the only one who dares to do so.

Zhan Xiaobai asked: "Only the Batu Village family is doing this kind of thing?" Even if he is an NPC Qianghu, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back the anger of the public, so there should be other villages to help him, right? ”

The player hurriedly said: "Boss Xiaobai guessed correctly, Batu Village and the four villages near it are plotting this matter together. We have only deduced from the actions of a few villages today that they want to build a dam together, and by this afternoon at the latest, they will start building the embankment, the river is scarce, and it will only take an hour to complete. If they drag it any longer, they won't be able to cut off much water. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, "Well, this information is very good, you can continue to investigate." ”

"Yes!"

Several of them looked for Qiushui to receive the contribution and left in a hurry.

Ah Fei hurriedly said, "Big brother, what do you think about this matter?" Shall we immediately gather our men and call on all the villages to rise up and cut down Nabatu Village! ”

Zhan Xiaobai said with a smile: "Batu Village is not far above Moxiao Village, do you say that we are in a hurry first, or is Moxiao Village in a hurry first?" ”

Ah Fei suddenly said, "Big brother wants them to fight first?" ”

"Hehe, you have a team ready at once, and it's probably time for military action. The young man hasn't come back yet, so it's up to you to lead the team this time. ”

Ah Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to prepare, so that General Fei's brothers were ready.

Game timeAt noon on May 25, 180, the villages of Wuwei County had just finished harvesting grain. In the afternoon, the water of a river in the county suddenly plummeted, and no more water flowed. Immediately caused panic in the various player villages - according to normal estimates, it should be the 30th of the month before the water flow is completely cut off. This caused them to enter the predicament of water shortage four days early, and the livestock, NPC villagers, all fell into a state of agitation and refused to work. This has severely undermined the various actions they are preparing to deal with the water scarcity crisis.

"Wuwei system news: Moxiao Village [Wuwei County] declared hostility with Batu Village [Wuwei County], XX Village, XX Village, XX Village, and XX Village, and the relationship between Moxiao Village and the above villages deteriorated sharply. The head of Moxiao Village issued a statement: Severely condemning Batu Village and other villages for their own selfishness, barrage and embankment, and damage the interests of other villages downstream. ”

"Wuwei system news: Warring States Village [Wuwei County] declared hostility with Batu Village [Wuwei County], XX Village, XX Village, XX Village, and XX Village, and the relationship between Warring States Village and the above villages deteriorated sharply. The head of Warring States Village issued a statement: solidarity with the righteous behavior of Moxiao Village and condemnation of Batu Village、......。 ”

"Wuwei System News: Perfect Village once again affirms its neutral position and is willing to maintain normal relations with all villages. He also declared: I hope that all parties will exercise restraint and not cause vicious "sexual" conflicts due to trivial matters and damage the interests of all players. ”

"Wuwei System News: Batu Village Statement: For Moxiao Village and Warring States Village, distort the facts and confuse the public...... Deeply regretted. Batu Village's behavior is only for the rational use of water flow, to protect the interests of most villages as much as possible, and to prevent Moxiao Village from wasting water resources wantonly. Therefore, our village will never succumb to external forces and give up this legitimate and reasonable act. ”

Behind is the news that each village is in solidarity with Batu Village and Moxiao Village, and the barriers are clear. There are also some neutrals who are persuaded to fight, and they are on the side of Perfect Village.

......

In just ten minutes, dozens of village messages hit the major villages and all online players in the entire Wuwei County. For the sake of water, the various villages upstream and downstream have begun to split.

All the players stared with bated breath, waiting for the moment when the war broke out.

War is not a random war against the surrounding villages, and those who can run the village until now are extremely savvy players. The prelude to war is often a variety of statements to seize the highest point of public opinion, win more players' support, boost morale, and build momentum for their own military operations. Tell everyone that you appear upright and that the enemy is sinister and harmful.

Public opinion has been overwhelming. The only thing that is lacking now is that the head of a certain village issued the last war order - "Fight!" ”

A stagecoach from Moxiao Village galloped to Xiaobai Village, and the player's messenger urgently asked to see the village chief.

Zhan Xiaobai and Jianba met with him in the council room.

The player's envoy arched his hand towards the two of them and said hurriedly: "Xiaobai Village Chief, Elder Sword Ba, my village chief Mo Xiaofeng hopes to get the support of your village to fight against the malicious behavior of Batu Village together, so as to safeguard the common interests of the downstream villages. ”

Jian Ba glanced at Zhan Xiaobai, Zhan Xiaobai didn't speak, he said to the player messenger: "This is easy, and it should be issued a condemnation statement." Is that all there is to it? Then you can go back to your life. ”

The player's envoy hurriedly said: "Of course not, the chief of my village hopes that Xiaobai Village can send troops to meet Batu Village together. Open the dikes and release the rivers. ”

Zhan Xiaobai and Jian Ba glanced at each other and smiled. Mo Xiaofeng sent a messenger, and sure enough, he came to invite troops.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "This is not easy to do, this kind of war is not beneficial to my Xiaobai Village." I think you'd better go back, and we won't bother to ask about your village and Batu Village. ”

The envoy hurriedly said, "Village Chief Xiaobai, how can this not be beneficial? The water is first-class, and your village can continue to get river water and fish products. No one knows when this kind of drought will end, and if you can get one more day of river water, you can support it for one more day. ”

Jian Ba crossed his legs, took a sip of tea pleasantly, and said, "To be honest, this little bit of river water is still not eye-catching in our Xiaobai Village. As soon as Batu Village is defeated, only you, Moxiao Village, will be left to dominate the group. This war is nominally a battle for water shortage, but in essence it is just a regional battle for hegemony between Batu Village and your Moxiao Village. At the end of this war, the biggest beneficiary will be your Moxiao Village. As for the other villages that participated in the war...... Hehe, at most, it's just a matter of drinking some porridge and picking up some grain, copper coins and other small bargains. What are we going to do in Xiaobai Village? ”

He paused, and then said, "Let's take the last time in Jianding Village, although it is known as the suppression of the player's rebellion. In fact, it was just cheaper for the Warring States Village, and with the help of the villages, he eliminated a nearby strong enemy for nothing, greatly expanded his power territory, and made his Warring States Village rise to a hegemon. If it hadn't been ordered by the imperial court at that time, we wouldn't have sent troops, and that kid would have been cheap. ”

Sword Tyrant's words suddenly made the player messenger dumbfounded and speechless. In fact, this player messenger didn't understand the mystery too much, and as soon as Jian Ba said it, he suddenly woke up to the truth behind the chaos.

But no matter what the truth is, he must complete the task, and said: "Xiaobai Village Chief, Sword Ba Elder, having said that, this battle is beneficial to all villages after all, I hope your village can send troops." After the deed is completed, my village chief will be grateful and will never let your village down! Mo Xiaofeng had already told him personally before that as long as he could pull Xiaobai Village to stand in his own camp and participate in the war, he could give a part of the benefits when necessary.

The envoy of Mo Xiao Village had just finished speaking, and a player envoy from the village was ushered into the council hall. "The envoy of Batu Village asks to see you."

When the player envoy of Moxiao Village saw it, he suddenly had a headache, why did the envoy of Batu Village suddenly come here? What a shame. The player envoy of Moxiao Village showed the signboard symbol of his village, and looked at the player who walked in demonstratively.

As soon as the player envoy of Batu Village saw the players of Moxiao Village, he immediately glared and snorted. Then he said to Zhan Xiaobai: "I've seen Boss Xiaobai." Let me say hello to you, our boss. Also, I would like to explain to the little white boss the reason for the embankment. The village of Moxiao dug several large ditches and brought them into their village to store a large amount of water, causing the amount of water downstream to continue to drop sharply. Our boss couldn't see it, so he simply blocked the river and built an embankment to prevent them from wasting water. Please also ask the little white boss not to misunderstand, for the loss of your village, we will make reasonable compensation. ”

Zhan Xiaobai and Jian Ba were suddenly surprised.

Damn, there are really a lot of famous halls in it. It turns out that there is such a thing, so it seems that the reason for Batu Village is quite sufficient.

The envoy of Moxiao Village immediately protested fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, when did my Moxiao Village do that kind of thing, just brought a small amount of water to irrigate the farmland." ”

The envoy of Batu Village sneered: "Yes, then you dug a big pit of several acres in the village and kept irrigating it, is it just to hold a few small shrimps?" ”

The envoy of Mo Xiao Village said: "It was only dug up for digging and burning tiles." No matter how good my village is, it is better than you barricade the river and build an embankment to cut off the river water! His words undoubtedly acquiesced in the fact that their village was secretly storing water.

The envoy of Batu Village no longer paid attention to him, and said to Zhan Xiaobai: "Boss Xiaobai, he Moxiao Village is sandwiched between you and me. What I mean by the boss of the overlord is that if we can, let's join forces to take Mo Xiao Village to the end. The spoils of war and the territory are divided equally between you and me. ”

Jian Ba's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "This idea...... Seems to be good. What does Xiaobai think? ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded slightly.

The envoy of Mo Xiao Village suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and was in a hurry. The two most powerful villages in the upper and lower reaches were flanking at the same time...... I'm afraid that no one can save Mo Xiao Village. The alliance's Sengoku Village was too far away to send a large number of people to support.

He hurriedly said: "Don't, little white boss, don't listen to his nonsense." Our two villages cooperate to attack Batu Village, which is the best policy for your village! ”

The Batu Village envoy looked confident and said unhurriedly, "Oh, is it? There are three major villages along the river, Batu Village is in the upstream, Moxiao Village is in the middle reaches, and Xiaobai Village is in the lower reaches. Therefore, if you destroy my Batu Village, it is completely your Moxiao Village that will benefit. The little white boss will not get any benefits, it is completely to help your village rise. But Batu and Xiaobai Village teamed up to beat you Mo Xiaocun is different, and the benefits are shared equally by everyone. The little white boss is a smart person, and naturally knows what to do in order to get the most benefits. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded with a smile and praised: "Yes, this messenger of Batu Village is really keen-eyed, and he is right in his words!" This messenger of Moxiao Village, what do you think? ”

The envoy of Batu Village immediately looked proud, and while he was applauding Zhan Xiaobai, he looked at the envoy of Na Moxiao Village provocatively, and his expression was obviously saying: Come on, you can use any trick.

The envoy of Mo Xiao Village was frightened enough, sweating profusely, and couldn't think of a countermeasure. "This ...... This~! My village ....... ”
