Chapter 392 The Mystery of the Flood
A day after the flood, the capital was ready for battle, especially the Shenkha Tuqi outside the city. Dan Tai Wengu expected that the Tang people would take this opportunity to attack. This time he wanted to make a contribution again, and he wanted to let Emperor Liang know that the fourth army in Daliang was the most reliable in the end.
Dan Tai Wengu stood on the high platform of the military camp and looked at Huangshui. A sense of unfinished achievements arose. He was now very eager to see the Tang army appear in his sight. Once they appeared, he would give him a head-on blow as planned.
"Big Brother."
A faint voice came over, and there was no need to say that Dan Tai Wengu knew who it was. He was too lazy to look back and asked directly with an impatient tone: "What's the matter?"
"Brother, are you waiting for Tang's army?"
Dan Tai Wengu was very unhappy. If a person's thoughts are easily guessed by others, how can he be happy? Besides, it is such a thing that is not suitable for the time being.
"We are soldiers, and the responsibility of soldiers is naturally to defend their country. You should go back to the military camp first, you don't need you here!"
Dantai Jiantui had long been used to his elder brother's attitude towards him, and he continued: "Brother, the army of Tang will not come."
Tan Tai Wengu turned around and asked in disgust: "What are you talking about? Why do you decide that the Tang army will not come? This is a good opportunity to attack the city, how could they give up?"
"Brother, since you all know that this is a good opportunity to attack the city, can you not know about Yongwuya? The enemy has already predicted his actions, and the slightly smart generals will not take the risk of fighting a tough battle with the same army that has made sufficient preparations. After all, it is not at the moment that they have to fight."
What Dan Tai Wengu caught was his judgment on war in his words. As for the satirical he said about himself, he might have heard it, but he was too lazy to care about it for the time being.
"Are you so sure?"
"Brother, the best time to attack the capital is not now, but when Huazhou was flooded. At that time, we had no defense at all. The best time for the army of the Tang Dynasty to attack the capital from the other side along the official road of Bingzhou City. Today the flood has begun to retreat. Isn't it obvious that we can make sufficient preparations after using troops in Tang Dynasty? Brother, let's go back to the military camp first to rest."
Dan Tai Wengu's face became cold and hot. Only the two brothers knew about this conversation, but he still felt that his IQ was crushed, which made him, the dignified general of the God Killing, have no face at all. He wanted to get angry, but what Dan Tai's villain is right. Dan Tai Wengu suppressed the anger in his heart and finally glanced at Huangshui, then ignored his third brother and walked back to the military camp.
Dantai Jianitu looked at the back of his elder brother. His eyes were no longer as disappointed as usual. He still hoped that his elder brother could look back at him, even if it was just a glance. Unfortunately, fantasy can only be fantasy after all.
Yong Wuya from Bingzhou did not expect that his intention was guessed by an inconspicuous disabled person like Liang Chao.
However, it doesn't matter if the people of the Liang Dynasty knew their intentions. He didn't plan to send troops at this time. These naval corpses were personally selected and trained by themselves, and they were the bargaining weight for themselves to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty.
Yong Wuya has been waiting for an opportunity, and he is also waiting for an army. It is time to calculate that the time is coming. Yong Wuya believes that there will be no accidents along the way. All he has to do is continue to wait.
"Master Commander."
"Oh, Lord of the Dragon Tribe, please sit, please sit."
"The young one won't sit down. The young one came just to inform the commander to inform the navy army that had arrived."
Yong Wuya bounced up from the chair, staring at Long Wen with his eyes glowing, not hiding his excitement at all, "Great, the time for me to wait is finally here!"
When Yong Wuya brought a team of men outside Bingzhou City, what he saw was the real strength of the Navy of Xia Tang: from outside the city to the end of the downstream, all he could see were masts, and from the dense visual perspective, there were hundreds of ships.
"The commander is indeed a good plan!" Dugu Ju couldn't help but look at Yong Wuya with even more admiration. "The dozen ships before were just a cover-up. Those stupid Liang people were clever and took advantage of the night to sink our ships, but they didn't know that they had just helped us."
Dugu Ju and others were standing on the towering river embankment outside Bingzhou City at this moment. Under their feet were the rolling Huangshui River, and under the Huangshui River were the sunken ships. It was these ships who became heroes of the too high terrain under the man-made action, which prevented the flood from entering Bingzhou City.
At this time, standing outside Bingzhou City, you can clearly see what the Tang people did: from the city gate to the turning point of the river, all of which were piled up loess. All of these loess came from bends, and they were brought up when Yong Wuya sent people dredging the river. At the beginning, the soldiers of the Guangyuan Army were wondering why the Tang people were so kind and actually took the initiative to help dredge the river. If they were present, they would understand the Tang people's true intentions.
After several months of hard work, the narrowest and most curved river channel was dug up as wide as other river surfaces. The yellow sand at the bottom of the river channel was dug up cleanly. The dug up river sand and yellow mud were all buried along the way from outside Bingzhou City to the next city. It was with the efforts of the Tang people that the terrain of Bingzhou City was lifted several feet, which allowed them to escape this flood.
The flood was caused by heavy rain, but that water wall was not entirely a natural disaster. In fact, it was all man-made disasters behind it. When Yong Wuya ordered the dredging of the river, he also sent a group of people to lift the river at the bend and use silt to fill an artificial lake. This lake was not originally big, and because it was far away from Huazhou City, the soldiers of Guangyuan Army in Huazhou City did not discover it in time.
The filled lake grows rapidly in the subsequent heavy rains, and eventually grows into a large lake with open water. It will not be able to fill it until the water is full.
When they were down, Yong Wuya ordered the digging of the embankment so that the lake water could tilt at the fastest speed. So, one after another, the water walls were created, and their target was Huazhou City.
When the lake water was completely tilted, Huazhou City had become a country, and Yong Wujia's goal was achieved. He used the advantage of time and place without spending a single soldier to successfully destroy Huazhou City. He achieved such a record with this action. If someone else had to be complacent, but Yong Wujia had never mentioned it to anyone. In his eyes, the only thing he saw was the fleet that had arrived in Bingzhou. His ambitions far exceeded people's expectations.
"My Lord, the commendation document of Khan will arrive soon." Dugu said proudly.
Yong Wuya was unmoved at all. He just said lightly: "I'll ask Xiaoxiang to help me accept it. From today on, I will be busy. I'll be busy with all unrelated chores." After that, he raised his foot and walked towards the ship without waiting for Dugu Ju to reply. Dugu Ju originally wanted to follow up but was stopped by a personal soldier.
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to discuss the next tactical arrangements. I won't bother Xiao Xiang anymore. Please go back and rest first." After Yong Wuya said that, he stopped paying attention to Dugu Ju and disappeared into the ship soon.
Dugu Ju nodded in the direction where Yong Wuya disappeared with a smile on his face, then turned back to the city, showing no dissatisfaction throughout the whole process. All this scene was seen in Long Wen's eyes, although he also did not get the chance to board the ship.
After these heavy rains for days, the rain began to stop gradually, and on the third day, the weather began to turn clear. Seeing the sun looming among the clouds, it gave people a feeling of being about to emerge. Maybe tomorrow will be a clear day. This is a good thing for the people of the Liang Dynasty who were suffering from flood disasters. They can finally recover from the flood. But there is one person who can't recover no matter how hard it is.
"General?" Gu Hongxuan's eyes were full of concern. He had said several times about returning to Beijing to report his work earlier. After all, these words were still the only words, and it was really meaningless to say it. But if he didn't say it, he was really worried. Emperor Liang was furious about such a big thing, and Yang Zhong actually wrote two letters.
"I know what you are going to say. Once you return to Beijing, I will never have a chance to leave. I am a culprit because I am guilty of being imprisoned, but I really can't ignore these people."
Yang Zhong has been insisting on helping the people recover their homes and reorganizing Guangyuan Army these days. He hopes that his actions can make up for his mistakes. He does not intend to pay attention to Gu Hongxuan anymore. He saw an old man carrying a bag of rice and walking towards him. Yang Zhong hurried forward to help.
"Thank you, General!"
"You have to be careful, why don't I recite it?"
When the old man looked up, he showed a face that was not matched at all with white hair. It was the face of a young man, and he also recognized it.
"It's you?"
"The last general Xuan Shaoning has met the general!"
