The Emperor Shun Zhishi

Chapter 52
When the Miao family learned that there would be a big flood in the next two months, they couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

"Is this true?"

"The guess I made by observing the clouds and the wind must be correct. This is a good opportunity. The question is, do you dare to take advantage of this opportunity? This time you will tear yourself apart with Emperor Yao, and there will be no turning back."

You Miao felt hesitant. Since the last war between Guirui and Uncle Wu died in battle, nine out of ten of San Miao's elite were killed or injured. Although You Miao wanted to destroy Huaxia and Dongyi, San Miao's strength was already great. Not as good as before, so he had to surrender to Emperor Yao.Now I heard that in the next three months, there will be a big flood that will submerge Guirui. The Miao family is very happy, but they still have worries in their hearts.

"But it's very difficult for me to deal with Huaxia and Dongyi at the same time, I don't know..."

"Isn't there still me? What are you afraid of? I have secretly assembled three thousand witches and wizards who are loyal to me. When the flood breaks out, I will cooperate with you inside and out to attack China and capture Yao Chonghua and Emperor Yao alive."

Hearing Que Li's words, Miao was overjoyed.

"I really thank God for giving me such a good daughter as you."

"However, you have to promise me that you will not hurt Danzhu no matter what. Even if you defeat Danzhu, you will save him. In the future, I will find a way to make him join Sanmiao."

"You are fascinated by this kid. He is the son of Emperor Yao. You have to remember that you are the holy daughter of Sanmiao, and the daughter of my Youmiao family!"

"Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, I will marry Danzhu and I will belong to him, if you can't do this, don't blame me for falling out!"

Although Queli's protection of Danzhu made Miao feel uncomfortable as a father, he was still relieved when he thought of Queli's loyalty to Sanmiao.Thinking that in two months, with the Miao family, he would be able to take advantage of the flood to launch an attack on China, and he couldn't help feeling elated.

Shun did not receive any censure at the flood control meeting, which made Xiang very uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth angrily at the thought of being betrayed by Gun.He drank wine angrily while cursing Gun.

"Gun, you are an old fox. When you want to use me, you instigate me to oppose Chonghua. Now that Chonghua is strong, you don't make a sound. I won't let you use me if I kill you."

Like drinking and cursing, thinking of the beautiful Nvying and Ehuang who married Shun, he even scolded Shun.

"With this little promise, if you get angry here, you won't get Nvying and Ehuang."

Hearing the voice, Xiang turned around and couldn't help being startled. He heard someone talking, but he didn't see anyone.

"Who? Who's there?"

"I!"

"who are you?"

"Quie Li."

"Where are you, why can't I see?"

"Look out the window."

The elephant looked at the window and saw a three-legged crow standing on the window, talking to him with its mouth open.

"You, you are Que Li? How did you become a crow?"

"This is a three-legged crow. I use it to help me convey messages. Let me ask you, do you still want Nvying and Ehuang?"

"Of course, I dream about it! But so what, they are already married to Chonghua, and Chonghua is the lord of Guirui City. In the future, he will inherit the emperor's position from Emperor Yao and become the co-lord of the Huaxia and Dongyi alliance. Now that even Gun is standing with him, can I beat him alone?"

"Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let such a thing happen. However, I need your help, as long as you are willing to help me defeat Chonghua, I promise you that I will reward you with Ehuang and Nvying in the future."

"Okay, as long as I can get Ehuang and Nvying, you can ask me to do anything."

"I heard that Chonghua put the luggage for water control in the market warehouse in the east. I want you to burn the luggage tonight."

"Burn?" Listening to Que Li's words, Xiang couldn't help being shocked, "After burning, what if there is a flood and Guirui is submerged?"

"If Guirui is flooded, will it be harmful to you?"

Thinking about Que Li's words, Xiang felt that what she said was very reasonable. If Gui Rui was flooded, it would be very unfavorable to Shun. Not only could he be blamed for his poor water control, but it could also explain that the water control method based on dredging was wrong.

"However," Xiang still hesitated in his heart, "burning water supplies is a capital offense."

"If you are not found, there is no death penalty."

Seeing the elephant, Que Li still hesitated, and couldn't help becoming angry. The three-legged crow flapped its wings, as if it wanted to fly away.

"If you don't do it, someone will. If Nvying and Ehuang are robbed, don't blame me."

After Que Li's provocation, Xiang finally agreed to set fire to control the water supply.That night, under the banner of inspecting for Shun, he went to the warehouse to check the luggage, and secretly lit a fire.

Two hours later, someone discovered that the water control material warehouse was on fire. By the time people went to fight the fire, the materials in the warehouse had been burned to nothing.All the flood control supplies that Shunhua had prepared for half a year were burned.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden lightning and thunder in the sky, followed by heavy rain.In less than an hour, the GUI water rose by a foot.At this rate, the Gui River will burst its embankment in a few days.

Shun could only pray that the rainstorm would stop after dawn. Who knows, the rainstorm continued until noon the next day, and the water level was almost at the top of the embankment. It was inevitable that the Gui River would burst.

Shun went up to the tower and looked at the Guirui embankment.At this time, the river water continued to overturn the dikes like waves, and the water level in Guirui City also rose four feet, and most of the houses were flooded by the rain.The terrain of Guirui is lower than the embankment of Guishui. If the embankment breaks, the whole city of Guirui will be flooded.

Little Xingxing looked at the dark sky, and he suspected that the rain would last for at least a few days and nights.If this continues, the entire Yellow River and its tributaries along the route will skyrocket.At that time, not only Guirui City, but the entire North China Plain will be hit by floods.

Facing the sudden flood situation, everyone has not enough time to raise materials to raise the embankment.So, Little Xingxing made a drastic decision-to release the flood.

"Mobilize all the manpower that can be mobilized, dig canals along the river to divert water, and prepare for flood discharge!"

"However, this will submerge some tribes in the lower reaches of the river!"

"If you don't do this, with the current amount of water in the river, both Huaxia and Dongyi will be hit by floods. And Guirui, located in the lower reaches of the Guishui River, is low and flat, and may be completely submerged by the flood. The symbol of the alliance, once the Guirui is submerged, in a sense, it means that the alliance between Huaxia and Dongyi has failed, and more tribes will leave the Huayi alliance because of the submergence of the Guirui. Once again in chaos."

The two souls of Xiao Xingxing and Shun communicate in the same body, and finally the more rational and knowledgeable Xiao Xingxing convinces Shun.

That night, Shun immediately summoned Guirui's water control committee and told them his opinion.Although everyone thinks this method is a bit cruel, Shun is right. If this is not done, both Huaxia and Dongyi will be hit by floods, and Guirui will also be destroyed by the flood, which will lead to the split of the Huayi alliance.

Because he was the one who set the fire, he was very afraid of being known as the murderer, so he just sat aside and didn't say a word.Although Gun opposed flood discharge, he did not object to Shun because of his guilt and fear.Others, including Qin Bukong, Houji, Ehuang, and Cao Muzi, agreed with Shun.

Although Little Xingxing proposed to release the flood, he has not yet decided where to release the flood. After all, there are many tribes along the Yellow River, and most of them are Huaxia tribes. If something goes wrong, it will cause the Huaxia tribe to hate Dongyi.As a native of Dongyi, Shun should be more careful.

After some discussion, Little Xingxing decided to release the flood in Yushan.The meaning of the little star is that Yushan is located in the most downstream of Jishui and the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. With Yushan blocking, Jishui will enter the Yushan valley, thereby reducing the flow into the Yellow River, which can reduce the water level of the tributaries in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, thereby Reduce the impact of this flood on the tribes along the Yellow River.Moreover, the tribes of Yushan live close to the mountain, and there are only three tribes in the Yushan valley, with a population of less than [-]. They can be quickly transferred to Yushan to minimize the cost of this flood discharge.

Little Xingxing's plan was approved by most people, but Gun was not happy.Because Yushan is the location of Gun's tribe Youchong, and Gun's private residence, Yushan Palace, was built deep in the Yushan valley.Gun, as the leader of the Youchong clan, heard that Shun was going to release the flood at Mount Yu, and his first feeling was that Shun would use the opportunity of flood discharge to avenge his personal revenge.However, Gun still endured it, because he was a little afraid of Shun at this time, especially afraid that he would tell Emperor Yao about the investigation of the water system.

After making a decision, Shun sent a letter to Emperor Yao and Gao Tao with a flying pigeon, asking them to send [-] troops each to Yushan to assist in flood relief.The next day, after Emperor Yao and Gao Tao received the letter, they immediately sent troops to Mount Yu.Three days later, Emperor Yao and Gao Tao's soldiers and horses arrived as scheduled, and a total of [-] flood control troops assembled at Yushan.After a lot of hard work, the [-] soldiers and horses dug a flood discharge channel in Yushan, and poured the flood water into Yushan before the entire river broke.

The tribes of Huaxia and Dongyi were saved, but the tribe of Chongshi was almost drowned.Although all the members of the Chong clan were transferred ahead of time and no casualties were caused, many houses were still destroyed by the flood.Seeing the ruins of the Chong clan and the Yushan Palace with only rubble left, Gun gritted his teeth with hatred. He secretly swore that he would avenge his blood hatred.
