Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Levee Breaks

Zhao Caixia looked at this group of ignorant fanatics with cold eyes, a wave of anger rose, and he slapped the table in front of him with a palm, and with a bang, the table was slammed to pieces! Everyone stopped arguing and looked at this county lord from Xiangyang in dismay. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Zhongyuan spoke on the side: "Everyone, it is pointless for you to quarrel like this, it is better to listen to the county lord." ”

Zhao Caixia said coldly: "What can you do with the few people under you?"

Yu Liang touched his bald head, and said with some displeasure: "Just us, what can the county lord do when he comes to us?"

Zhao Caixia said disdainfully: "Your ideas are all unrealistic, the water thieves have come ashore, can they resist the officers and soldiers of the counties?"

Lingguang was also dissatisfied: "What did the county lord call us for?"

Wu Ze was a little disgusted with the two: "The two of you, please listen to the county lord!"

Zhao Caixia didn't care at all, and continued: "If you want to fight the county towns around Hongze Lake, you must transfer the officers and troops!"

Yu Liang laughed, laughed non-stop, Xu Chang said angrily: "That bald head, if you laugh again, I will tear you to pieces!"

Yu Liang stopped laughing and shouted: "Are you crazy? Now that the Qincha is in Hongze Lake, which of their counties will be transferred? Could it be that you are not crazy, they are all fools?

Zhao Caixia shook his head, stood up, walked straight towards the door, and said as he walked: "Shen Zhongyuan, you explain to them, such ignorant people, this monarch really doesn't want to talk to them." ”

Yu Liang was about to attack, and Shen Zhongyuan arched his hand at the back of the county lord and said: "The county lord asks for it, and the ministers will explain it to them." ”

Yu Liang turned his head to Shen Zhongyuan and said, "Shen Junshi is a wise man who moves the rivers and lakes, what kind of plan do you have? How about opening the eyes of our group of ignorant people?"

Shen Zhongyuan smiled slightly: "It's very simple, just two words!" As he spoke, Shen Zhongyuan's eyes shone brightly, and he said softly: "Break the embankment!"

Shen Zhongyuan said these two words very lightly, but the repercussions caused were great, the group of thieves heard the words and suddenly became chaotic, and the three swords of Taihu Lake did not expect Shen Zhongyuan to be so bold and want to burst the embankment and release the water!

They are accustomed to doing water business, floods near Hongze Lake for many years, once the rainy season, even if the embankment is not broken, it will also be flooded, if the embankment of Gaojiayan is broken, the people and horses of the surrounding counties and counties may immediately be put into the work of flood fighting and rescue, at that time the infantry became sailors, and the combat effectiveness was immediately reduced, but the water flowed everywhere, and the combat effectiveness of the water thieves was greatly improved, just like the terrain bonus in many games, once there was a flood, these water thieves could make a fortune.

Shen Zhongyuan was very satisfied with their discussion, although it was the same as just now, but the center of the discussion had progressed from who fought Dongxiang and who fought Xixiang to who fought Huaiyin and who fought Huai'an, and it was obviously more than one level.

Shen Zhongyuan waited for them to be almost longing, and said to the group of thieves: "Everyone, can you listen to me again?"

Everyone quieted down suddenly, and Shen Zhongyuan smiled when he saw this: "Let's not be busy talking about the future, let's talk about the current situation first, how can this Gaojiayan embankment be broken?"

Lingguang was extremely excited at this time, and said loudly: "Needless to say, aren't there more than 10,000 of us together?"

Shen Zhongyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "More than 10,000 of you have poured into the embankment, and before the embankment is dug down, you have to recruit the officers and soldiers!"

Lingguang suddenly became dumb, and Wu Yuan, who was in the lake, got up and said: "Just listen to you, let's do what you say!"

"Yes!"

"Listen to you!"

Those thieves see that they are profitable, who cares who they listen to, the most important thing is to benefit. For a while, everyone was united, and it was almost time to vote, and Shen Zhongyuan became the absolute principal, and even Wu Ze said that he listened to Shen Junshi.

Seeing that everyone was united, Shen Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and immediately the hall was silent, and Shen Zhongyuan said:

"Everyone, since you can afford Shen, I, Shen Zhongyuan, will give you an idea, each of us has its own people, all of them are small shares, such a long embankment, hundreds of people take advantage of the night, they can't see anything at all, and it will never cause people's ideas, besides, when the Qincha arrives at Hongze Lake, the attention of those officials must be welcoming the Qincha, let's give them a chance to enter! Let's dig hundreds of people, although the time is longer, but within ten days, we can succeed!"

Li Zixiu secretly calculated Shen Zhongyuan's plan in his heart, this plan was quite vicious, if it succeeded, it would be hundreds of thousands of disasters! Fire and water are ruthless, this embankment is not a joke! If Shen Zhongyuan is the emperor's person, how could he come up with such a vicious strategy? If it is said that this embankment is a faint move, but there are no defenders along the embankment, it is not really a war at this time, this Gaojiayan has heavy troops, the current situation, really not more than ten days, you can dig a small hole, the so-called thousands of miles of embankment collapsed in the anthill, as long as there is a small opening, the city is just an instant!

Shen Zhongyuan saw that everyone was happy, clapped his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's see how to take shifts?"

"I'll go first!"

"My first day!"

"I'm coming!"

Everyone stepped forward enthusiastically, and Shen Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Everyone has to do their part, this thing can't be done in a day, let's just have a village master for a day, Wu Dazhai master, how about leaving this matter to you to arrange?"

Wu Ze nodded in agreement, and discussed with everyone, the three swords of Taihu Lake were ranked on the sixth day, not forward, there were still a few days, for them, it was the most important thing to contact Hua Chong.

Hua Chong touched Pang Feiyan's stomach with a shrunken expression: "Hehe, I am pregnant with Liujia, I just feel different, I don't know if we will ...... for a while."

Pang Feiyan said angrily: "You livestock, I have it, do you still want to ...... That ......"

Hua Chong licked his face and rubbed on Pang Feiyan's stomach and said, "It's okay, it doesn't affect it, it's ...... fulfill my little wish."

"It's really shameless, we're in my father's Qincha Mansion, you don't like it, I still don't like it!" pushed the flowers, Pang Feiyan stood up and planned to move. Hua Chong hurriedly got up and hugged him, "I'll hold you." ”

Pang Feiyan rolled her eyes: "I just had two months...... As for ......"

Hua Chong looked at Pang Feiyan with a straight face: "Feiyan, you are now focused on protection! Don't run around! In a few days, Hongze Lake should take action, I can't take care of you, you must pay attention to safety, from now on I have to cultivate your good habit of not moving and not running around!"

Pang Feiyan sat back helplessly: "It's so boring! Your battle is much more lively than Bawangzhuang, it's a pity that you can't catch up......"

Hua Chong smiled bitterly when he heard this: "My aunt, this is a fateful errand, last time the two hundred black-clothed people scared me half to death, this time there are tens of thousands of water thieves in Hongze Lake! You know what the result will be, to be honest, if it weren't for Master Pang coming, I would be a little worried......

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and a shrill voice outside the door asked, "Is Brother Hua Xian here?"

"Fourth brother?" Hua Chong heard Jiang Ping's voice, hurriedly went over and opened the door, and sure enough, Jiang Ping came. Pang Feiyan got up and said to Jiang Ping, "Why is the fourth brother here?"

"Haha, I heard that my younger brother and sister are happy, and the fourth brother came over to say goodbye. Jiang Ping gave Pang Feiyan a deep salute, looking quite formal. Hua Chong pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, let's get down to business! Is it that Hongze Lake has changed again, or you won't come!"

Jiang Ping didn't procrastinate, pulled over a chair and sat down, went straight to the point, and told Hua Chongxue about the discussion of the group of thieves. Hua Chong listened to it and wondered: "This thing is a little strange." ”

Jiang Ping smiled: "You mean Shen Zhongyuan's idea?"

"Well, this may seem like a brilliant idea, but it's actually a bit wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Why didn't he mention the defenders of Gaojiayan from beginning to end? Could it be that such an important embankment was not garrisoned by the imperial court?"

Jiang Ping said with a smile: "Second Master Li also has this idea, I do have an idea, but I guess you also thought of it." ”

Hua Chong smiled: "He knows that the three swords of Taihu Lake are spies, and he deliberately came up with such an idea?"

Jiang Ping nodded and said: "You can really think that none of those thieves can achieve great things, Yu Liang, Lingguang and others are only a few hundred small bandit leaders, those who are not as good as them, not to mention, these people are all brave men, as soon as they heard that this work is very rich, it is the emperor who camped in Gaojiayan, and they also went to rob it." ”

"Wu Yuan and Wu Ze are both brave and brave, and their martial arts are not weak, but their brains are not very good, Shen Zhongyuan is the military advisor of the palace and the retinue of the county lord, so he is naturally not wrong. Hua Chong added.

Jiang Ping frowned: "Brother Huaxian, there is one more thing I don't understand. ”

"Zhao Caixia and Xu Chang?", Hua Chong guessed Jiang Ping's worries.

"Hehe, Brother Xian, you are the first enemy everywhere. ”

Hua Chong smiled bitterly: "Fourth brother, don't hold it, I don't understand what the three of them are going on......"

Jiang Ping was also a little worried: "This thing is indeed a little strange. ”

Hua Chong smiled: "Forget it, let's not think about it, no matter how smart we are, we are also two heads, it's better to brainstorm, I'll take you to meet a few friends." ”

The two said goodbye to Pang Feiyan, Pang Feiyan is a first-class key protected animal at this time, and she must not run around, not only Hua Chong, Pang Ji also attaches importance to her daughter who is pregnant for the first time, and four maids are waiting at the door.

Hua Chong and Jiang Ping went to see Pang Ji, Pang Ji hurriedly invited Liaodong Liujie and the Bai brothers to discuss together, Jiang Ping told everyone about Shen Zhongyuan again, Hua Chong introduced some of the causes and consequences of this incident to everyone, and these people were also confused.

Ouyang Chun said: "This thing is indeed a bit strange, if I were Shen Zhongyuan, this matter would be a vicious strategy, but it is very dangerous, once Gaojiayan is heavily guarded, then hundreds of water thieves will be sent to death!"

Yan Zhengfang asked, "Then you also think he did it on purpose?"

"Not necessarily, although he is a military advisor, but with the county lord here, he can only be a deputy. If he did it on purpose, then he and Zhao Caixia would have to be in the same group, or this Caixia county lord would not find anything wrong with this strategy at all. The former must not, even if Shen Zhongyuan may be the emperor's person, but can Zhao Caixia oppose his own father? This matter is impossible, right? But if the latter, she is also kept in the dark, and it makes some sense. Zhao Caixia is a woman, even if she knows martial arts and is famous, how could her father be willing to let her show her face, unless she has some ability, and she can really take charge of herself! If she is a scheming female general, how can she let Shen Zhongyuan make a risky move? And ......"

"And there is also Xu Chang......" Silver Halberd Wenhou Lu Zhongxian's expression became gloomy when he thought of Xu Chang. Not only him, but also several others. Because Xu Chang used to be their pride!
