Yancheng?

Qingji suddenly remembered that there was such a typical battle in history.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin general Bai Qi led tens of thousands of troops to the east along the Han River, captured important coastal towns, plundered the abundant grain and grass in the Han River Valley to supply military supplies, and broke into the Chu realm unexpectedly.

Under the leadership of Bai Qi, the Qin army drove straight in, quickly attacked and occupied Deng, the important place of Chu in the Han River Valley, all the way to Beduyan of Chu.

The Qin army encountered the most stubborn resistance since entering the Chu realm in Yancheng, and it was repeatedly defeated, while the Qin *** team was alone and not suitable for lasting.

Therefore, Bai Qi took advantage of the favorable conditions that Yishui flows from the long valley of Chuxi Mountain to the southeast, builds an embankment to store water at a hundred miles west of Yancheng, and repairs a long canal to reach Yancheng directly.

Then the canal was opened to irrigate the city, and the water entered the city into the abyss, and the northeast corner of Yancheng was soaked and broken by the river, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city were drowned......

The battle of Yan Ying achieved the great name of "human slaughter" Bai Qi, and Bai Qi was named "Wu Anjun" and moved the world.

In other words, those who are named Wu Anjun generally do not end well.

Such as Bai Qi, such as Li Mu, such as Su Qin.

can raise soldiers, fight hard, and get the people to gather, so it is called Wu'an.

However, they died either because of their high merits, or because of the villain's slander......

Qingji then took Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and other generals to Yishui and Xishan Changgu to survey the terrain.

After hearing that Qingji planned to build a hundred-mile-long canal and flood Yancheng in order to win this battle, the generals present couldn't help but change color.

Fortunately, only Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Bo Yan, Fan Li, and Gongzi Heng were all confidants.

Otherwise, once it spreads, I am afraid that it will damage Qingji's reputation.

"Oh no, my lord!"

Fan Li couldn't help frowning, and said, "Building a hundred-mile-long canal to flood Yancheng with water can certainly help my Wu army achieve a great victory."

"However, attacking it with water will hurt the heavens and the peace!"

"In this Yan City, there are more than 100,000 Chu people, maybe no less than 200,000!"

"If the king replaces the army with water and floods Yancheng, I am afraid that it will cause blood and pestle, and the heavens will be angry and resentful! This ......."

Fan Li didn't dare to continue.

What is "hurting the peace"?

In the book "Guiguzi", there are nine things that hurt the peace of the heavens and must not be done in your lifetime!

First, those who are addicted to lust also suffer from abdominal ulceration.

Second, the profiteer is also the enemy who lost his life.

Third, the jealous will also be harmed by death.

Fourth, slanderers, shin breakers.

Fifth, the slanderer will be rewarded with thunder.

Sixth, the cruel one, the peerless disaster.

Seventh, the framer, the field of destruction.

Eighth, the gamer, the gradual family.

Ninth, alcoholics, the beginning of poverty.

If Qingji brazenly built a hundred-mile-long canal and flooded Yancheng, which one of them would he commit?

The cruel one, the peerless calamity!

Meaning: cruel and cruel to others, unscrupulous means, this is the behavior of the wicked, hurting others is to set up an enemy for themselves, and in serious cases, it will also harm the family, and it must not be done.

Qing Ji is like this, the killing is too heavy, it hurts the peace of heaven, I am afraid that I will be spurned by others, and my life will be short!

This is no joke. ….

Just like the matter of "killing the emperor" is the bottom line that was refreshed by Sima Zhao and Liu Yu.

The Battle of Baiqi and Yan Ying, which killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Chu State, how could it not refresh the bottom line of the war?

Not to do it.

Once Qingji does this, it will be imitated by future generations, making the war more and more cruel.

Moreover, this is extremely detrimental to Qingji's reputation.

"The King!"

Bo Yan couldn't help but say loudly: "Once this hundred-mile long canal is built, and then it is dug and flooded Yancheng, the more than 100,000 Chu people in the city are afraid that none of them will be lucky

Excuse me, die unexpectedly!"

"The life and death of the Chu people is of course insignificant, but it is only detrimental to the prestige of the king......

"The ministers have heard that those who torture and murder will be punished by heaven."

"If more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Chu State are swallowed up by the great water and drowned, I am afraid that the king will ...... Minister, I am willing to lead the army for the king, and bear the infamy and the curse of heaven!"

With a sound of "plop", Bo Yu knelt on the ground, and hugged his fists towards Qingji in a choked tone: "If the minister can die in exchange for the king's peace!" Great Wu Guozuo for 10,000 years!"

"Minister, never give up!"

Hearing this, Qingji's heart was also quite moved.

I didn't expect Bo Tu to be able to stand up by example at such a time to prevent disasters for Qingji.

This saying of folding longevity is of course mysterious and mysterious, but how can Qingji not have some concerns?

"The King's ......"

Sun Wu, who was standing on the side, sighed and said, "This flooded Yancheng, although it can conquer Yancheng once and for all and wipe out the remnants of the Chu people's army, it is too hurtful."

"Please think twice, the king!"

Sun Wu has never been a soft-hearted person.

It's just that the flooding of Yancheng has caused too much bad impact, and Sun Wu can predict how the world will criticize Wu Guo and criticize Wu Guokou.

This is not an infamy that a simple general can afford.

"Da Sima, besides, do you have a better countermeasure to capture Yancheng for the widows?"

"This ......"

In the face of Qingji's inquiry, Sun Wu was speechless.

It's just that Sun Wu always thinks that the tactics of flooding Yancheng are too extreme.

……

After returning to the camp, Qingji gave the order to dig a canal.

Wu'an South Falle Qi soldiers, dredging Gong general Xia Yu and.

Who said that after a thousand years of long canals, the barbarian flow still entered the old city.

Hu Zeng's "Song of the Long Canal" in the Tang Dynasty is well known to Tongsuo in Yicheng City, which is about the long canal that has gone through the vicissitudes of time and silently raised the people.

The canal was developed and turned into a water conservancy project.

The flowing water is more than 100 miles, and the fields are thousands of hectares.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanjun Taishou Wang Pet excavated the Muli ditch on this basis, which further expanded the irrigation area, and Yicheng became the land of fish and rice......

Is Qingji really going to flood Yancheng?

Not necessarily.

Bai Qi in history was because the lone army was deep and could not fight a protracted war, so he chose to flood Yancheng.

Wu Jun is different.

There is no need for Qingji to choose this cruel method of warfare to conquer Yancheng.

He just forced the Chu army to go to war, and by the way, he dug a hundred-mile-long canal to develop this land of fish and rice.

Ten days later, Qingji, who dug a canal, ordered the river embankment to be dug up, but it only flooded some of Yancheng, not to his knees.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Qingji wrote a handwritten letter, inviting Chu generals Shen Zhuliang and Mi Ji to come out and have a look.

Shen Zhuliang, as the main general, was not convenient to go out, so he asked Mi Ji as a messenger to come to the Baili Long Canal to take a look.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Seeing the embankment that had been broken, Mi Ji was so frightened that his face was pale.

Qingji, who was standing on the side, chuckled and said, "Mi Ji, how is it?"

"The widow is not trying to scare you."

"As soon as this hundred-mile-long canal is opened, Yancheng will be flooded, and the soldiers and civilians in the city will become like fish and shrimp, with more than 100,000 floating corpses, and no one will survive!"
