Hu Rui led 50,000 people to Yishui and Surabaya. These two rivers are very close to Xiapi, and although it is a dry season at this time, there are many water sources in the river.

Hu Rui had already come to investigate before, and had already found the most suitable place to build a dam and store water. After coming here, I immediately sent people to start construction.

50,000 people worked together, the speed of dam construction was very fast, and because it was a dry season, the water of the two rivers was not much, and the difficulty of dam building was greatly reduced, so it only took two days for Surabaya and Yishui to be cut off.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Rui led the people to strengthen the levee and want to store more water.

During the dry season, the river stores water very slowly. And if you want to reach the water source that floods Picheng, it will take at least half a month to accumulate.

After the dam was built, Hu Rui reported to the Marquis of Qi and asked the Marquis of Qi to send a large army to garrison it. The Marquis of Qi immediately agreed, and then stationed 5,000 soldiers in Yishui and Surabaya respectively to guard the embankment.

Xiapi City.

Huai *** account, everyone is discussing military affairs, this time has been looking for the Qi State Coalition Army's grain and grass hoarding location, but after looking for a period of time, there is still no news.

At this moment, a herald hurried over, and after entering the main hall, he immediately bowed down to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, scout for urgent report!"

"Let him in!" Wang Sheng looked at the sand table in front of him and said without raising his head.

Soon the two scouts hurried in, knelt on one knee, and respectfully presented a bamboo tube.

A Shangqing next to him handed the bamboo tube to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng used a knife to uncover the fire paint, and then took out the information and took a look, and suddenly the pupils of his eyes contracted, and then recovered.

"Your Excellency, is there news about the place where Qi State has stored grain?" Ram Shuo asked.

Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not the news of the place where the grain is stored, but the Marquis of Qi ordered people to build dams in Surabaya and Yishui to store water!"

"What?" In the main hall, everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"They want to flood Pi!" Ram Shuo's face changed drastically.

"Isn't it dry season? How can the water reach Xiapi?" The other gentleman next to him was a little incredulous.

"As long as the river is cut off and blocked for a period of time, the water will accumulate enough, and it will naturally be able to flood Xiapi!" Ram Shuo said calmly.

"But there is only one stream of this kind of water, and once it is released, the water will soon reced!"

"Xiapi City was built under the supervision of King Wen, and the foundation was bluestone, which was covered with loess and repeatedly tamped, and the outer layer was covered with bricks, even if it was attacked by water, it was difficult to break." Wang Sheng said calmly.

"But although the walls will not be washed down, the grain, grass, and firewood in the city will be soaked in the flood."

"You can move grain, grass, and firewood to the higher parts of the city in advance. Build more wooden rafts." Everyone suggested.

"Your Majesty, how long has the Qi army been storing water?" Ram Shuo asked.

"According to the spies, it's been four days!" Wang Sheng handed the information to Ram Shuo and let him watch it.

Ram Shuo took a quick look at it, and then said: "In four days, the water source of the river has dried up, and according to the water depth of Surabaya and Yishui in previous years, the Qi army wants to flood Xiapi, and it must be stored for at least half a month. Surabaya and Yishui are each guarded by 5,000 soldiers."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty suggests sending a large army to destroy the dam, if it is allowed to store water, and then flood Xiapi, although Xiapi City is not afraid, but the camp outside the city will definitely turn into Zeguo, and when the Qi army comes to attack, I am afraid it will not be able to stand it."

The Qi army flooded, which made everyone's hearts sink. If the dam is destroyed, although the danger of flooding in Xiapi is temporarily relieved, it is still very difficult to defeat the Qi State.

The best way is to burn the grain and grass hoarded by Qi State. At that time, the alliance of the princes of Qi will naturally retreat, and even if the alliance of the princes is infighting because of the lack of food, Wang Sheng can even win a big victory.

At this moment, another herald hurried in, and then said in a loud voice, "The king has reported the victory!"

Hearing the three words of the report, everyone in the hall was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the herald

, I saw that he was sweating profusely, and although his face was flushed, he was very happy.

Wang Sheng was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Xu Qing is worthy of being the minister of my Huai State, and he has made great contributions to the national crisis!"

As he spoke, he picked up the Parchie book and looked at it.

The Baojie book is only a hundred words, but Wang Sheng has read it for a long time, and his face is even more joyful.

"Haha, the state of Chu has been defeated and fled in embarrassment, so there is no need to worry, Xu Qing's army went north and met Huaishui and the 50,000 army commanded by Zheng Hou. Xu Qing lined up with his back to the water, won a great victory, and the princes' coalition army suffered heavy casualties, and Zheng Hou was only spared!" Wang Sheng said excitedly.

"Ten thousand years! 10,000 years of Huaiguo!"

"Ten thousand years! 10,000 years of Huaiguo!"

"Ten thousand years! 10,000 years of Huaiguo!" In the main hall, everyone shouted excitedly.

For a while, the original sense of oppression in the hall dissipated at this moment, and he was more confident in defeating the Qi army.

Not long after Wang Sheng received the good news, in the camp of the princes of the Qi army, the Marquis of Qi also got the news of the defeat of Marquis Zheng. When he learned that Zheng Hou was defeated and only spared, Qi Hou almost couldn't help but scold.

Fortunately, Guan Zhong reminded him in time, and Qi Hou forcibly endured it, and then asked, "The 50,000 army, of which 20,000 are elites, why is there such a big defeat?"

"Jun Shang Huaiguo is in a backwater formation, its formation is weird, the minister has never seen it, the wings are contracted, the middle is heavy, the chariots are all concentrated in the middle, our army is attacking, the enemy army is not moving, our army has suffered heavy losses, it coincides with the middle of the day, the sun is located in the south, our army is attacking, just facing the sun, the archers are weak and weak, but the enemy army is firing thousands of arrows, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and then the enemy army is exhausted, our army is defeated..."

Everyone felt incredible when they heard it, Zheng Hou was actually defeated like this? Still such a fiasco!

For a while, the camp of the Qi coalition army became depressed.

"Hahaha, don't worry, gentlemen!" Sensing that something was wrong, Qi Hou hurriedly laughed and said, "Although Zheng Hou has suffered a small defeat and lost his troops, our army still has 250,000 troops, and the advantage is lonely!"

"In addition, Huqing has already built a dam to store water in the barrage, as long as the storage of water in Yishui Surabaya is completed, and the flood will be flooded, how can Xiapi stop it? All of them will be turned into a country!"

"At that time, our army only needs to take a boat to cover and kill, and the Huai army will definitely collapse!" Qi Hou said loudly.

Hearing Qi Hou's words, the solemn atmosphere in the big tent suddenly dissipated, everyone recovered, and everyone was full of confidence in attacking and destroying Huaiguo.

Qi Hou breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but at some point in his heart, a haze had risen.
