Water Margin people

"Your Majesty, the enemy is gone!"

Wang Jin reported to Sun Lei.

"Leave? So simply?"

Sun Lei rubbed his chin and thought about it. The enemy was still clamoring to defend the city last night. Why did they leave so suddenly?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy here!"

Xiao Jiasui said.

"It looks like it's going to rain!"

Sun Lei nodded and looked at the gloomy sky. The rainy season has arrived.

"A little rain won't delay the war!"

Wu Song said that the rain in June may last for half a month, but the rain will not stop the war.

"Report, Your Majesty, the enemy has gone to Fan County and is now heading west. It seems that he is going back to Tokyo!"

A scout rode up to report.

"Back to Tokyo?"

Everyone looked at each other. The battle was going well, why did the enemy suddenly want to run away?

"Your Majesty, I will lead the troops to intercept!"

Shi Jin immediately asked for help. He was unwilling to let the enemy go like this.

"Which route did they take?"

Sun Lei looked at the scout and asked.

"All the way west along the south bank of the Yellow River."

the scout replied.

"Where did Tong Guan get the courage to leave like this?"

Sun Lei squinted his eyes and thought. Tong Guan had never won this time. Under such circumstances, Tong Guan dared to return to Tokyo from the south bank of the Yellow River. This was very abnormal. Logically speaking, Tong Guan had to at least go to the north bank of the Yellow River to evacuate. .

"Send all the scouts out and find out more!"

Sun Lei was not in a hurry to intercept. Tong Guan's 300,000 troops could not leave for a while. The most important thing now was to find out the situation.

……

Fan County.

"Sir, do we really want to do this?"

A group of soldiers looked at Du Chong with horrified faces and asked. They were all holding shovels and hoes. They thought they were here to build fortifications, but Du Chong actually asked them to dig out the Yellow River.

"Dig out, this is an order!"

Du Chong looked at the soldiers and roared. Tong Guan had already led his troops away. If he didn't dig up the Yellow River, the Liangshan army would reach his Kaide Mansion.

"Why are you standing there? The water is flooding to the south. How can we go north? If you don't dig out, and the thieves go to Kaide Mansion, you will all die!"

Du Chong pointed at everyone and threatened them again.

Everyone did not dare to disobey the commander Du Chong, so they could only use hoes and shovels to start digging the river embankment.

In recent years, the Yellow River has been flooded and its course has changed countless times. Now it has divided into several river courses, mainly the north course and the east course.

The North Yellow River Road turns north after exiting Northwest Beijing Road, while the East Yellow River Road goes straight to Puzhou, turning north and then eastward from Fan County, where the flooding is most severe.

The river embankment is not strong. Over the years, the officials of the Song Dynasty have been tinkering with the river embankment.

"Go on, dig this hole for me and introduce the water into the channel!"

Du Chong was overjoyed to see that the excavation went smoothly. He thought it would be difficult to dig the embankment and was worried that the enemy would come over, but now it seems that it can be done in one day.

Two hours later, there was a rumble and the ground seemed to shake.

"The embankment has collapsed, run away!"

Someone yelled in fear, and then the soldiers and civilians fled in all directions.

"Collapsed?"

Du Chong walked towards the river embankment in surprise, but after only taking two steps, he saw that the river embankment not far away had really collapsed. The raging river water below rushed directly into the channel, and went away in a mighty way, thinking about Liangshan.

The water in the river was very fast, and the yellow slurry filled the canals directly and spread everywhere.

At this moment, strong winds came up and heavy rain poured down.

"Haha, God helps me! God helps me!"

Du Chong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the water in the Yellow River became even more turbulent.

A thunder exploded, and Du Chong was like a madman in the thunder and rain.

With the impact of the water flow, the river embankment collapsed more and more, and soon it stretched for half a mile. The breach could no longer be blocked, and nearly half of the entire Yellow River's eastward water flowed to Liangshanbo.    …

"Report, Your Majesty, it's not good, the enemy has dug up the embankment of the Yellow River, and the water is flowing towards Liangshan!"

The soaked scouts rushed into the camp to report hurriedly.

"Ok!"

Sun Lei was not moved at all when he heard that the Yellow River burst its banks, he just looked at the heavy rain outside.

"Your Majesty, these people are really cruel!"

Wen Huanzhang's face was complicated. He once wanted to enter the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, but now he saw that it was a place where ghosts and gods gathered, and it was difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts. If he went there, he would be afraid that people would be separated from humans, and ghosts would be separated from ghosts.

Wen Huanzhang was very happy at this moment. Fortunately, Sun Lei actually went to find him and invited him.

"The Yellow River floods have been a chronic disease of all dynasties. The emperors of all dynasties were most afraid of the Yellow River floods. But now these people have taken the initiative to dig up the river embankments and indulge in flooding. Damn it!"

Xiao Jiasui said.

"Go find out what's going on!"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and said that he was not worried about floods. The rivers in Liangshan had been renovated in recent years, and there were no problems with flood control, flood storage, or drainage.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, heavy rain made the roads muddy, making it difficult for Tong Guan and his army to march.

"Why does this rain come so quickly?"

Tong Guan frowned as he looked at the gloomy sky and the pouring rain.

"Tong Xiang, the rain is too heavy, why don't we set up camp first!"

Xin Xingzong came over on horseback. The heavy rain had slowed the army's march by half, and now they could only travel twenty or thirty miles a day.

"Set up camp!"

Although Tong Guan was unwilling to do so, such heavy rainy days were not conducive to marching.

"I just don't want to fight. I don't know what you are afraid of!"

Lu Junyi gritted his teeth and cursed, he had had enough, he had no chance to use his martial arts skills.

"Master, the flow of the Yellow River is wrong!"

Yan Qing looked at the turbulent Yellow River and said to Lu Junyi.

"It's raining, so it's normal for the water flow to become stronger!"

Lu Junyi glanced at Huang He and said nonchalantly.

"No, master, look, the water is leaning towards the south bank, they won't really dig up the Yellow River!"

Yan Qing said.

"No way, who dares to do such a shameful thing?"

Lu Junyi shook his head and said, although he hated Sun Lei, he would not use such a poisonous trick. The power of the flood had the potential to destroy the heaven and earth, and it would be light to kill millions of people.

The Chinese army's tent was set up first. As soon as Tong Guan entered, Yang Keshi and others surrounded him.

"Children!"

Everyone looked at Tong Guan.

"What?"

Tong Guan looked at everyone coldly.

"Tong Xiang, you didn't agree with Du Chong's suggestion, did you?"

Yang Keshi asked.

"I don't know anything, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Tong Guan shook his head.

After everyone heard what Tong Guan said, they felt a little more at ease. They believed that as long as Tong Guan didn't give the order, Du Chong would not dare to do anything.

"Everyone go out, the army will camp and rest, and we will set off back to Tokyo as soon as the heavy rain subsides."

Tong Guan gave orders directly to everyone.

Not long after, a man quietly walked into the Zhongjun camp, walked directly to Tong Guan, leaned over and said a few words in Tong Guan's ear.

"This matter must be kept secret!"

After hearing this, Tong Guan's hands shook unconsciously.

"Du Chong is really a ruthless character!"

Tong Guan couldn't help but sigh, he had seen many ruthless people over the years, but there were really few people who could be more ruthless than Du Chong.
