The second prince interrupted him: "Why did you say that, General Xiang?? We occupy two highlands in the north and the south. How can the North Yandong Lake pass through the middle and cut us off?? Even if he can make a detour and reach the middle unexpectedly, but , If we dive in and attack from both sides, wouldn't the Beiyan Dongchi army be completely defeated? Beiyan Dongchi is so powerful, how could he make such a bad move?"

Other generals also said: "It's impossible, no one would be stupid enough to do this.【26nbsp;】"

Xiang Wuji didn't say anything more.

The emperor ordered everyone to disband and prepare to arm themselves for battle.

In the evening of that day, the emperor summoned Xiang Wuji, Jiang Shilang and others to accompany him to inspect the camp.

Along the way, the monarchs and ministers chatted casually about the situation. On the way back, the emperor suddenly said, "Xiang Wuji, do you have something to say today?"

Xiang Wuji respectfully said: "I know that you can't hide anything from Your Majesty. However, it's really uncomfortable to keep these words in my heart, I have to say it out."

He pointed around casually: "Your Majesty, look around. Isn't it strange that there are no big trees and stones in the area around Beishan for more than ten miles?"

The emperor looked around, and sure enough, this Beishan was called a mountain, but it was bare everywhere. It was the midsummer season and the season of lush vegetation. How could it be like this?

He was surprised: "Could it be that Beiyan Dongchi sent people to remove all the big trees and stones?"

"Yes. I have personally inspected the surrounding environment in the past few days, and found that the big trees everywhere have been cut down. What I am worried about is that they built a dam in the lower reaches of the river."

"Why did they build the dam?"

"Your Majesty, this has a deep meaning. It is midsummer, and the river has the largest flow. You think, once the dam is built, the river will not be able to flow down, and it will flow back and the water level will rise. When the time comes, we will rob Shuofeng City will become an isolated island, Beishan will become a river bank, and the low-lying places in the middle will become paddy fields. At this time, wouldn’t we be divided into two and each of us defeated??”

The emperor was taken aback.

He lowered his head, but saw that the surrounding grass fields were full of water.He thought it was because of the heavy rain, but after a closer look, no matter how heavy the rain was, it wouldn't raise the water level so much.

Sure enough, that night, the water in the grass field completely submerged the grass.
