After the wrong marriage

If the lake is not too deep, he can order the whole army to swim across it, and if it is deep, he can also build a boat to cross it.Anyway, there are high mountains on both sides of this valley, with many trees, and there is no shortage of wood.

Seeing the four of them jumping into the water, I recalled that the mounds and rocks at the "scorpion tail" and "scorpion belly" must have been created when the pool was dug.

Chu Baiye used every soil and tree here so properly, it really shouldn't be underestimated.It's such a pity that such a person would sacrifice his life for his rival!

"My Majesty, this pool is probably nearly a hundred feet deep, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it!" One of the four quickly raised his head and said to Zi Heng from the water.

"Forget it, come up quickly." He flicked his sleeves lightly, looking at the water in this side of the pool.Even if it was by boat, if Gongsun Yao's people suddenly attacked, it would be difficult to resist.

Such a [-]-foot-deep pool cannot be achieved in a day, and it will take a long time to drain all the water.Counting that half of the three-month period agreed with Ruoying will be over, if the Xiongnu has not been invaded by then, so that Gongsun Yao and others have no power to fight back, what should he use to negotiate with Ruoying and ask her to stay? ?

Shuai Mengyu looked at this side of the pool, and then observed the surrounding terrain, then turned around thoughtfully and turned his eyes to the road from when he came.

Zi Heng observed his movements, and asked indifferently: "I don't know what handsome young master is thinking?"

"I have encountered several floods during my travels in recent years. Every time I saw them dredging the silt and discharging the water that was close to breaking the embankment, I would observe the surrounding terrain. I think there is too much water. It would take a few hours to build a ship. The time of the day is not safe, why not think of a way to dig a ditch to drain all the water in this pool."

He turned around again, cupped his hands at Zi Heng, and expressed his feelings.He also had the same concerns as Zi Heng. If a boat was built to float across this pool, the Xiongnu might not be able to fight back if they attacked.

"My Majesty, but I think that digging ditches to divert the water away is a huge project, and I'm afraid it will take some time. It's better to build ships. They are all connected by iron cables. Even if the enemy attacks , and won’t act indiscriminately!” One of the young generals stepped forward and directly refuted Shuai Mengyu’s words.

Little did he know that Zi Heng had heard Ruoying's story of "burning a chain of boats", so he naturally didn't take his words to heart, and asked directly: "If the enemy sets fire to the front of the arrow feathers and burns the boat with fire, At that time, the boats and ships will be connected, how to put out the fire?"

"This..." The general was still too young after all, hearing Zi Heng's words, he lost his mind for a while.I had no choice but to maintain the motion of arching my hands and bending over and froze there, not knowing what to do.

"Forget it, you step back, I want to continue to listen to Shuai Gongzi's thoughts." Not wanting to embarrass him, Zi Heng didn't want to waste time at this juncture, and asked Shuai Mengyu's thoughts directly.

"Your Majesty, this place is close to the Great Wall. It is reasonable to say that the sky is dry and the soil is loose. Even if a very large hole is dug, it will never store so much water. According to the people of the grass, it may be that there is a lot of water under this place." A layer of underground water, and when digging down, there is a hard rock layer with few cracks that will not seep water, and then attract water from other places, and this pool has just formed."

After a pause, he walked to the right side of the valley, bent down and picked up a handful of brown-yellow soil at random.After pinching it a few times, he turned his face to Zi Heng and said:

"The terrain on the right side of the valley is low, and the soil is very loose, so there is a forest growing. Some even grow on the cliff, so the grass people deduce that this ditch can be dug in the valley on the right. And this The soil in the area is relatively loose, and according to the judgment of the grasslanders, most of the water will be absorbed by the soil along the way before it drains away. I believe that as long as the drainage channels are opened, the water will be diverted soon."

Shuai Mengyu spoke very confidently. Although he never liked to read sage books, he had read a few books about water control and geography.

"Very good, how long will it take to clear the ditch?" Zi Heng asked after scanning the deep pool in front of him again.

"I don't know the details, but with so many people on our side, it shouldn't be too difficult to do such a thing. As long as there are tools, I believe it will be done within half a day. But what we need to do now It is to carefully check what kind of line the ditch should be dug along.”

He answered ambiguously, and he left a way out for himself. If he couldn't do it then, he would be less blamed.

"Then I'll leave it to you to handle this matter, no matter how many people you need to dispatch, it's up to you!" Zi Heng said simply, looking at Shuai Mengyu with admiration.

I have to say that Ruoying's vision is really good. This person is indeed a useful talent. Whether it is the small matter of dealing with sand bandits in the desert, or the big matter of dealing with the water in front of him, he is also very assertive.

Thinking about letting him make meritorious service now, I am afraid that he can be given an official position in the future, so that he can make good use of his talents.

I have to say that Ruoying has a really good eye for people, from Si Bixian to Shuai Mengyu, and Chu Baiye, who she has always been friends with, all of them are considered talented people!If one day she really has the heart to sit on the world, I am afraid that these people will be used by her, and I am afraid that I am willing to give up this country.

It's just that she doesn't care about power, and she doesn't like the battle in the harem very much.I remember a time when she was helping him with official duties in the study, she suddenly expressed her gratitude.Said that since power can weaken the relationship between family, brotherhood and even husband and wife, why so many people would rather be lonely and want to get it.

A woman like her is destined to be unable to escape the drastic changes of the people around her under the trend of power, but she still maintains a clear heart and is not disturbed by the power.But... always trapped by human feelings.

The love for Qi Yin made her willingly make too many compromises against her will, and now she doesn't know why, she cares and smiles at herself.

The only thing that can trap her most is love.But Zi Heng didn't have the confidence to make such a woman wait, to make her compromise...

If he had always been just the ignorant boy who led her to build a wooden house on a century-old tree, if she had always been the little girl who simply followed behind him and looked at him smiling...

But that was He Ruoying, she... was Tang Ruoying.So since childhood, he has been responsible for revenge, and he will never fall in love with He Ruoying, who only has eyes for him, but he is deeply fascinated by this smart and wise Tang Ruoying, who only cares about others.

Sure enough, fate tricked him, and this kind of encounter and change almost became a fatal calamity in his life, but... he still enjoyed it.
