Water Margin people

"No!"

Du Chong's words attracted a lot of opposition as soon as they came to light.

"Tong Xiang, don't listen to this villain!"

"Such a plan that will last forever will never be feasible!"

"Do you know what the consequences of digging up the Yellow River will be?"

"Millions of dead souls, you have sinned deeply!"

……

Everyone pointed at Du Chong and cursed.

"You can kill the thieves without spending a single soldier. It's stupid for you to ignore such a plan!"

"You are also warriors on the battlefield. Each of you has countless lives on your hands. Why don't you feel guilty?"

"How many people have you killed in the war during this time? Have you ever thought that these people are innocent?"

Du Chong was not afraid at all, as if he wanted to stand on the moral high ground and fight against the generals.

"If you dig up the Yellow River and divert the water to the south, you will not only flood Liangshan Lake, but also the entire Jianghuai River Basin. There are tens of millions of innocent people here!"

"As soldiers, we are well prepared, no matter whether we kill the enemy or are killed, we have no regrets, but we cannot do the evil thing of massacring tens of millions of civilians. Whoever does it will be infamy and be reviled for eternity. !”

Wang Zhen pointed at Du Chong and cursed. If the Yellow River flows southward, the entire Beijing East and West Road and Huainan Road will cause disasters, involving more than ten million civilians.

"Tong Xiang, you must not do anything like this. Once the Yellow River is dug, millions of civilians will be killed or injured. Even the massacre of Bai Qi would not dare to do this!"

Yang Keshi also advised that the Yellow River overflows every year, and the losses and casualties caused by floods are huge. If it is dug out, the consequences will be disastrous, and no one can bear the final result.

When Tong Guan heard this, his excitement subsided. He was not a fool for being able to reach the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty step by step.

What Tong Guan cared about most in his life was his reputation, otherwise he wouldn't have thought so hard about regaining Yanyun to become the king. He would never dare to touch something that would be infamy for thousands of years.

"Tong Xiang, now the Song Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. The Northern Jin people have already reached Taiyuan Prefecture, and the Shandong bandits have become bigger. Tokyo is in danger. As Tong Xiang, as the Privy Council, the top priority is to defeat the enemies and drive out the thieves!"

Seeing that Tong Guan denied his opinion, Du Chong slowly spoke again.

Tong Guan's brows almost turned into a mess when he heard this. As Du Chong said, he was the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles and wars. All the pressure is on him as the Privy Councilor.

Tong Guan held his chin with one hand and knocked on the table with the other. The sound of "dong dong dong" kept ringing, and Tong Guan's psychological tangle could be seen in the beating sound of his heart.

"As for how many people died? Tong Xiang, are the areas south of the Yellow River, east of the Surabaya River, and north of the Huaihe River still the territory of the Song Dynasty?"

Seeing that Tong Guan was a little shaken, Du Chong immediately took out his trump card.

"These places..."

Tong Guan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. The places Du Chong mentioned were Sun Lei's Puppet Qi territory, and the civilians there were also Puppet Qi people. Killing these people did not require much psychological burden.

"Tong Xiang, you must not do this!"

Yang Keshi, Wang Zhen, Yang Weizhong and others all knelt down and begged Tong Guan. They were not afraid of death, but they would never dare to do such a thing that would kill innocent people and make them infamous for thousands of years.

"All down, all down!"

Tong Guan waved his hands for everyone to go out a little irritably.

Everyone had no choice but to exit, leaving Du Chong alone in the hall facing Tong Guan.

"I also heard about what you did in Kaide Mansion!"

Tong Guan looked at Du Chong and said.

"Uh... I'm a stupid official, I don't know what Tong Xiang is talking about!"

Du Chong laughed sarcastically.

"You must have killed a lot of people in Kaide Mansion. I have a lot of excuses for you here!"

Tong Guan looked at Du Chong with squinted eyes. The man in front of him could be regarded as ruthless. After the failure of Daming Mansion, there were many civilians who fled south, and many of them went to Kaide Mansion. Du Chong was worried that there were spies among these people, so he directly ordered the massacre. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they now have a fierce reputation in Kaide Mansion, and no one dares to enter Kaide Mansion anymore.

"Everything is for the Song Dynasty. Those unscrupulous people have evil intentions and a large number of spies are mixed in. I just kill thieves for the country."

Du Chong said with a smile. "What a great person to kill a thief for the country! I'll leave this matter to you! I will lead the troops and leave today! When the matter is completed, I will personally ask for credit for you!"

Tong Guan's eyes were sharp, he glanced at Du Chong and said.

"I……"

Du Qing seemed to refuse when he heard it, but Tong Guan didn't give him a chance at all, got up and left.

Du Chong's face was gloomy and uncertain. The reason why he came to offer his advice was because he was afraid that Tong Guan would be defeated. No matter he fled or retreated to Kaide Mansion, the war would be drawn to him, who was left behind in Kaide Mansion.

"Okay, I'll dig up the Yellow River!"

Du Chong gritted his teeth and said, Tong Guan made it clear that he didn't care about this matter. In this case, what else did he have to take care of? He didn't want to face the Liangshan army.

In the military camp, all the generals looked at Tong Guan who came out with expectation. They really didn't want to do something that was harmful to nature.

"Assemble the entire army and head to Tokyo!"

Tong Guan looked at everyone and ordered.

Everyone felt relieved when they saw that Tong Guan did not order the Yellow River to be dug.

"Childlike appearance..."

Yang Keshi also wanted to ask how to deal with the Liangshan army, but Tong Guan interrupted him directly.

"Excuting an order!"

Tong Guan looked at everyone and ordered without question. He knew what everyone wanted to ask, but he didn't want to talk now. He couldn't have anything to do with this matter.

Songjiang Camp.

"Brother, what's the situation?"

Song Qing looked at Song Jiang in confusion. Why was the army suddenly leaving? Is the battle going to stop?

"You leave the military camp quickly and go back to Yuncheng. Tell your father to take Xiruan and leave quickly. They are going to dig up the Yellow River and flood Liangshan Mountain!"

Song Jiang took Song Qing to the corner and whispered that he was discussing something just now. Although he didn't know what happened later, Tong Guan must have agreed to Du Chong's suggestion if he dared to lead his troops away.

"Oh no?"

The Song and Qing Dynasties were shocked. Yuncheng was not far from the Yellow River. Every year the Yellow River overflowed, and disasters would occur around Yuncheng. If the Yellow River was dug out, the entire Yuncheng would turn into a vast ocean.

"Go back quickly and let dad go to Tokyo!"

Song Jiang urged Song Qing.

"What about our farm and house?"

Song Qing said anxiously.

"How long have you been taking care of the fields and houses?"

Song Jiang was also a little angry. His life was almost gone. He was still thinking about the farm?

"Brother, my father has bought a lot of fields in the past two years, and also bought the houses next to him. If he leaves, won't everything be lost?"

Song Qing said quickly.

"What? All the money I sent home bought me a house?"

Song Jiang's expression changed. Although he had been traveling around in the past few years, his official position was getting bigger and bigger, and he made a lot of money. Except for expenses, he sent everything else back to his hometown.

"Father said that the farm and the house are the foundation!"

Song Qing said helplessly that he couldn't understand his old father's thoughts.

"Forget it, no more, tell father to leave quickly. Also, go see Zhu Dian and Lei Heng in Yuncheng and give them this letter!"

Song Jiang took out another letter. Now he was short of manpower, which reminded him of the two leaders in Yuncheng.

Song Qing took the letter and quietly left the military camp, riding towards Yuncheng on horseback.
