Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I also pricked up our ears.

These two dog traitors have never been to the Central Plains and do not know the geography of the Yellow River.

Hong Chengchou sighed, and then said: "This characteristic of the Yellow River embankment is that the south is high and the north is low! ”

"High in the south and low in the north?" Dolgon immediately understood when he heard this, and said awe-inspiringly, "Heng Jiu, you mean that once we dig the south embankment of the Yellow River, the Ming army will also dig the north embankment?" ”

"Shengming is no more than a master." Hong Chengchou said, "If my Qing soldiers dig the south embankment of the Yellow River, then the Ming army will definitely dig the north embankment of the Yellow River, and because the south embankment is higher than the north embankment, the river will definitely flow north under the same conditions. ”

I have to admit that Hong Chengchou, a traitor, still has some ability.

Hong Chengchou not only knows the soldiers, but also has some knowledge of hydrology and geography, and can estimate the flow direction of the Yellow River after it bursts its banks.

Because the next diversion of the Yellow River is to flow along.

Moreover, the flow direction is also through the Daimyo's Mansion to take the Daqing River into the Bohai Sea.

After a slight pause, Hong Chengchou said: "In this way, the flooding will not only not flood Xuzhou, but will only flood the Daimyofu, Dongchang Mansion and Jinan Prefecture, and by the end of this year, there will be a large-scale famine in Beizhi and Shandong Prefectures under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, which will weaken the national strength of our Qing Dynasty." ”

"This!" Dolgon was speechless.

Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I were also shocked into a cold sweat.

It turns out that digging the Yellow River has such terrible consequences.

Isn't this just lifting a stone and hitting yourself on the footboard?

After a long time, Dolgon stepped forward to help Hong Chengchou and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Hengjiu for reminding me, if it weren't for Mr., this king would have really missed a big incident this time." ”

"The minions are terrified." Hong Chengchou said, "This is what a slave should do." ”

Dolgon's gaze returned to the map of Xuzhou, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the strategy of quick victory really does not work, or can only adopt a long-term siege strategy for Xuzhou." ”

"Master Mingjian." Hong Chengchou said, "It is the best policy to besiege the city for a long time. ”

Fan Wencheng also said: "A long-term siege can be exchanged for the greatest victory at the smallest cost, which is indeed the best choice, and the emperor also relied on this strategy to break through the Ming army's fortress group in western Liaoning." ”

At this point, Dorgon finally made up his mind - continue the siege!

At present, Dolgon said: "At the time of the Songjin War, the former emperor was also shaken for a time, and it was under the persuasion of Mr. Gongfu and Mr. Xiandou that he firmly established the long-term siege of Jinzhou, and then there was a great victory in Songshan. ”

"Don't dare." Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan were extremely proud in my heart, but they didn't dare to say it again.

After a pause, Dolgon said: "This time in the battle of Xuzhou, this king has actually been shaken, if it were not for the persuasion of the three gentlemen, the king may have ordered the army to retreat, so the three gentlemen, please accept the king's worship." ”

After speaking, Dolgon arched his hands and threw himself to the ground towards Hong Chengchou and the three of them.

This really gave Hong Chengchou enough face to the three of them, because Dolgon practiced Han family etiquette, which was also to show his courtesy to Hong Chengchou and the other three Han ministers.

Dolgon is really good at winning people's hearts.

The effect of his hand is also quite good.

"The master sees thousands of miles, and the minions can only kill to repay."

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan fell directly to the ground, grateful.

Immediately, Dolgon sent people to find Ganglin, Qi Chongge, Sukh Saha and other henchmen.

When agreeing on major national policies, it is necessary to use Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanme to plan, but when it comes to the specific implementation stage, it still has to rely on Manchen.

……

In Xuzhou, on the ninth peak of Yunlong Mountain.

"Where? Where? Chongzhen came with Zhu Cijiong quickly.

"Holy One, over there." Xu Yingwei stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast and said, "It happened about half a month ago, but this time it was more ferocious than last time." ”

"It can't be that something big happened in Huai'an Mansion, right?"

As he spoke, Chongzhen had already pulled out the binoculars and raised them.

The field of view through the telescope is relatively clear.

I saw that on the river about a thousand steps away from Yunlong Mountain, a Ming army messenger was stepping on the ice linden and sliding rapidly, making various evasive actions in the process of sliding.

On both sides of the shore, there are quite a few Jiannu.

I saw these Jiannu holding a big bow and shooting the messenger like a rabbit.

Jiannu didn't chase and kill on the ice, just stayed on the shore and shot with a bow and arrow.

While holding the bow and releasing the arrows, there were all kinds of shouts, and it was a game to see that this posture was a game.

On the other hand, the soldiers on the platform of the ninth peak are clenched fists one by one cheering for the messengers.

"Hugh!" A heavy arrow grazed the messenger and drove it into the ice with a thud, and it was already the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and the ice was far less hard than in winter, and it became much more brittle.

Another arrow missed, and the Jiannu on the shore was so angry that he screamed.

The prince of Qin, who was guarding the platform of the ninth peak, applauded.

The applause of the Qin Wang Shizi attracted more Jiannu archers.

The number of Jiannu archers who joined the hunt quickly increased to hundreds.

Now the Ming messenger tossed and turned even more difficult, and after sliding forward for a few hundred steps, he was finally pierced through the chest by two heavy arrows, and then fell on the ice like sawn wood.

"Good!" The Jiannu archers lined up on the shore on both sides applauded.

"Alas!" The Qinwang scholar on the platform of the ninth peak let out a long sigh and failed again.

Chongzhen continued to point the telescope on the ice of the Yellow River, only to see that there were already more than a dozen messengers lying on the ice, and the blood flowing from the messengers almost stained the ice red.

"Sign language!" At this moment, Xu Yingwei shouted, "Holy Lord, that messenger seems to be playing sign language!" ”

Chongzhen's heart froze, and he aimed the telescope's field of view at the messenger again, only to find that the messenger was really not dead, and was struggling to make continuous gestures towards Yunlong Mountain.

"Tonight, they'll send a group of messengers!"

Chongzhen turned around and shouted, "Let Jin Xuan prepare the cavalry." ”

……

In a river valley twenty miles away from Xuzhou.

Lu Zhenfei called Huaxia and Lu Xiangtong to him and said, "Regardless of whether the dog left signed before he died, and whether the saint and the scholars on the mountain saw his sign language, the letter must be sent in tonight, because the longer it drags on, the tighter the blockade of Jiannu will be, and the more it will not be able to be delivered in the future." ”

"Agreed." Lu Xiangtong and Huaxia nodded at the same time, "Success or failure is here." ”

Lu Xiangtong called Wu Sanwang, the captain of the Xiangyong team, to him: "Sanwang, your ice opera skills are the highest among everyone, so your hope of breaking through the blockade of Jiannu is also the greatest. ”

It is impossible to leave a letter to a messenger.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that the letter will fall into the hands of Jiannu, and it will be troublesome.

So it could only be dictated, which really stumped Wu Sanwang, and it took a long time to remember the content of the performance.

When the time came, Wu Sanwang and more than a dozen villagers stepped on the ice linden at the same time, slid out of the river valley where they were hiding, and quietly entered the ice of the Yellow River.

At this time, the weather warms up, and the ice of the Yellow River begins to melt.

Therefore, the gliding on the ice is not so smooth, and the ice linden will leave a deep mark when it is crushed.

However, compared to marching on foot or even on horseback, the ice opera was still much faster, and it took less than a quarter of an hour for Wu Sanwang and more than a dozen other villagers to come outside the blockade line of Jiannu.

Jiannu dug dozens of miles of trenches on the outskirts of Xuzhou.

Except for the course of the Yellow River, all other directions were blocked by trenches.

Fortunately, there is still the Yellow River, otherwise they would not have been able to send a letter in.

Wu Sanwang used a little force to speed up, and patted Xiang Yong's shoulders one by one, and more than a dozen Xiang Yong immediately pulled away from the sparse and irregular formation, but fortunately, the river was wide enough to open the space.

The night was like ink, and Wu Sanwang and they soon entered the scope of the blockade line.

However, there was silence on the banks of the river on both sides, and Jiannu seemed defenseless.

It seemed that luck was good, Wu Sanwang quietly breathed a sigh, but at this time, countless torches suddenly lit up on the originally silent shore.

The entire surface of the river was illuminated as bright as day.

Immediately, hundreds of Jiannu archers appeared from the banks of the river.

"The thief has been waiting for us for a long time!" Wu Sanwang scolded with a dark face.

Then he yelled: "Speed up and rush over, no matter what, rush over one!" ”

With Wu Sanwang's hoarse roar, more than a dozen villagers bowed down at the same time and began to accelerate.

Immediately, there was a "rest" sound of heavy arrows tearing the air, and occasionally a scream sounded, and the Ming army and villagers were constantly killed by heavy arrows.

Jiannu's bow and arrow are claimed to be the pinnacle of cold weapons, and they are really not boasting.

Whether it is the lethality of the big bow and heavy arrows, or the overall archery skill level of Jiannu, it is better than any local barbarian regime before this.

I saw hundreds of Jiannu standing on the bank of the river, and the formation pulled out was several miles long.

These Jiannu archers really shot Wu Sanwang and them as rabbits, which was purely a joke, otherwise they could shoot more than a dozen Xiangyong into hedgehogs with a salvo of thousands of archers.

But Jiannu didn't do that, and wanted to shoot Xiangyong as a rabbit.

Wu Sanwang's side of Xiang Yong fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Soon, there was only one Xiangyong left on the ice, Wu Sanwang.

Jiannu on the banks of the Yellow River became even more fanatical, as if gambling with him.

Looking up again, I saw that there were at least 100 steps left in the section of the river controlled by Jiannu.

After all, you still can't rush in? Wu Sanwang let out a desperate lament.

However, just when Wu Sanwang was thinking that he was going to die, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the shore on both sides.

Immediately, Jiannu, who was standing on the bank of the Yellow River, panicked and aimed his bows and arrows at the night sky in front of him.

Are you here for reinforcements? The Holy Lord sent troops to answer it? Wu Sanwang was overjoyed, and immediately sped up and rushed forward, and finally broke through the Jiannu blockade after a while, and the sound of "Woo Woo Woo" sounded behind him.
