Chapter 429: Slender Canal
Jiang Anrao didn't bother, just stood quietly aside. However, Bai Qi and the others soon saw her, and when they saw her, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly called her:
"Ah Rao, you came just in time!"
"Why did the Captain call me here?"
Because many people are there, Jiang Anrao still calls Bai Qiguo Captain.
"Ah Rao, come and see this." As he spoke, he pointed to the map, then turned his head and asked her, "Ah Rao knows how to make a trench?" ”
堨 (ài)? Did Bai Qi actually want to build a dam and build a weir in the Chu State? Jiang Anrao was stunned for a moment, and looked at the map attentively.
Although the maps of the Qin army at the same time were generally concise and to the point, they were much more rigorous, and although they still did not have the complete concept of scale as later generations, they were relatively accurate.
There were some marked parts on the map, and Jiang Anrao could see the next target of the Qin army at a glance, Yancheng.
And Bai Qi told him that the place where he wanted to build a moat was near Wu'an Town, which was more than 100 miles away from Yancheng. That is also the Manshui Basin. The water is turbulent, hence the name. Because of the surging water, the state of Chu originally built a canal near it to discharge the flood and divert water.
Jiang Anrao looked at it, and suddenly got goosebumps, and finally remembered the history of this war. The line of sight crossed the map, Wu'an Town, Tumenpi, Xinpi, Iron, Stink, Zhuhupi, Yantang......
Sure enough, Bai Qi can be called the God of War and Killing God, not in vain, it is clear that the Chu army has been entangled in the main force of the whole country to protect Yancheng and Yingdu, but in the end it was still won by Bai Qi. Bai Qi's tactics never stick to the old rules, and he has repeatedly come up with strange schemes, and the enemy never dreams of what his next move will be!
"The national lieutenant wants to use the power of brute water to deal with Yan Cheng?"
Jiang Anrao asked.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and all the generals looked at Jiang Anrao in surprise, and Bai Qi laughed:
"Ah Rao is smart! Indeed, Yancheng is heavily guarded, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is forcibly attacked, the Qin army will suffer heavy casualties, and it can be defeated hard, and I am afraid that it will no longer be able to deal with Yingdu. So, I had to think of something else. ”
"I thought about it day and night, and then I thought that I could use the wild water to deal with Yan Cheng. It's just that the problem now is how to build a dam, and how to raise the waterline to bring water into the city because the terrain of Yancheng is higher than the wild water.
I called you to see if you had any way. ”
"Now I haven't seen the terrain of the scene, so I don't dare to assert it, give me some time, and I'll take someone to see it. We'll talk about it when we get back after we've seen the terrain at the site. ”
Jiang Anrao thought about it, but didn't refuse.
Although she knew that as long as this was repaired, it would mean that hundreds of thousands of people in the Chu State would die, but there was no way to do it, she couldn't let Bai Qi and the Qin army run aground here.
"I'll take someone with you. We had been to Wu'an Town to investigate before, and I was familiar with the road conditions. Jiang Chiyu said on the side.
"Okay." Jiang Anrao nodded.
When Bai Qi saw that their brother and sister were going together, his heart was also steady. They've all gone to see it for themselves, and it's going to be fine.
Jiang Anrao took the Mo family's ink masters who were good at water conservancy and Jiang Chiyu and more than a dozen black cats to set off that day.
Wu'an Town is a certain distance from Yancheng, it is winter, Jiang Anrao and his party are reluctant to let the horses work too hard, so they only run more than 50 miles a day to rest. It took two days to arrive in Wu'an.
Bai Qi was able to make such an assumption, which was naturally based on a general understanding of Wu'an's situation.
Now after taking a look at the scene, several ink experts who are good at water conservancy say that dams can be built to raise the water level.
Everyone saw the terrain, Wang Yun helped draw the map, because Jiang Anrao told him the concept of scale, so the map he drew now is almost scaled according to the scale, extremely accurate. And because he was complained by Jiang Anrao, he has refined many markers, so the map looks not only beautiful, but also clear at a glance.
Everyone looked at the wild water flowing through Wu'an Town, measured the approximate distance, and observed the terrain of other places along the way when they returned to Dengcheng.
Along the way, all the way to the map, it took a few days of hard work, and then I returned to Dengcheng.
"Wu'an is suitable for damming, the head of the canal is located at about this location, along the way, you can make some ponds to store water, and when the spring news comes, let go of the head of the canal, and the water will flow down, collect the water from all the storage ponds, and rush directly to Yancheng."
After Jiang Anrao came back, he took the map and explained it to Bai Qi.
They are in Chudi, of course, there are no suitable building materials, but there are high mountains on both sides of Yancheng, and there are also near Wu'an, so you can open mountains and dig stones, and directly use stones to build dams in Wu'an Town.
Bai Qi looked at the map that Jiang Anrao took back, first surprised by the delicacy of the map, and then studied the details.
"Then I will have people start digging a canal from this place to connect the pond and divert water to Yancheng.
However, there is also a problem that the water level of the wild water should be lower than this, and if you dig a ditch here, I am afraid that the river will not be able to come up. ”
"Then we will block the river, cut off the flow of water, and raise the water level. Later, when the water level is as high as the channel, the water level is released and the water flow will naturally flow to the dug canal.
Branches and vines, as well as stones, are enough to cut off this section of the river, and when the water level is high enough, the river is forced to redirect. ”
Bai Qi was happy, clapped his hands and smiled:
"Wonderful! It's wonderful! That's it! ”
Following Bai Qi, he began to order people to open mountains and quarry, dig ponds and canals.
The soldiers brought by Bai Qi were all used for war, so naturally they would not all be allowed to do these dirty jobs, and there was an accident among the engineers in the original army, and those who were ordered to do these things were those sinners who moved from the Qin State.
Watching the teams of people set off from Deng Cheng and work everywhere, Jiang Anrao sighed:
"Even if these tens of thousands of people work together, this project will not be completed in two months."
Quarrying and damming and repairing weirs are not to mention, just digging ponds and ditches is a big project. You must know that the canal to be dug by Bai Qi is more than 100 miles, and it is a veritable long canal!
These sinners who were sent out to do things, when the project is over, I don't know how many will come back alive.
Of course, it's useless to think about this, Jiang Anrao won't stop Bai Qi from acting at this time to save those poor people or something. What she can do now is to promote the strength of the Qin State, as long as she can strengthen the Qin State, she can't refuse.
After the second day of February of the following year, Jiang Anrao led people to leave Dengcheng and set off for Yangzhai. At this time, the Baiqi Canal has been basically completed, the embankment and pond have been basically built, and the water level has risen recently, Jiang Narao knows that soon Baiqi will launch a general attack on Yancheng.
In the subsequent war, there was nothing for Jiang Anrao to participate in, and she didn't plan to stay to see the Qin army flooding Yancheng.
In February of the twenty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Jiang Anrao went directly from Chu to Yangzhai, but he didn't think about it, and as soon as he arrived in Yangzhai, he saw an unexpected person.
Thank you CC haha for 1 commuter pass!
After opening the book, I caught up with the summer vacation, and I wanted to take the child to watch a movie or something, but when I thought about it, watching the movie back and forth, the hours were gone, and for a handicapped, 3 hours was too precious, so I never made it.
Originally, there were a lot of movies I wanted to watch, but before I could watch them, other people's theaters were offline, and now, Fengshen can watch them at home.
Okay, okay, I didn't go to the movie, spend some money to watch it at the player, three meals a day, take a few glances while eating, and it is estimated that you should be able to watch it in two days!
It's such a happy decision!
