Chapter 413 Prefect Li Bing
The Queen of Xixia could not answer the question of the King of Xixia and remained silent.

The King of Xixia didn't get an answer, and the whole person soon became silent.

The two looked at each other, unable to speak a word.

After a long time, Empress Xixia broke the tranquility and said, "Your Majesty, there is no way to control everything, so let's let nature take its course."

"Go with the flow?"

The King of Xixia pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"Let it take its course, maybe this is the only way left now."

The King of Xixia laughed out loud, with helplessness and remorse in his voice.

……

Far away in the city of Youzhou, Wu Tian also received news that the city of Yinzhou was in chaos.

Guan Sheng on the side stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Wutian and said: "Your Majesty, since Yinzhou City is already in chaos, we must immediately gather our troops to kill them, and we will surely destroy Xixia."

Wu Tian glanced at Guan Sheng, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Guan, your suggestion is indeed reasonable. But at this moment, we are not prepared enough. Liangcheng has just been established as the capital of the country, and many things have not yet been completed. Two more In a month's time, all the food, grass, and equipment needed by the army will be fully prepared. Moreover, this time, I will not only seize Xixia, but also enter the Western Regions along the Xixia, and contact the countries of the Western Regions. At the same time, I will go to Mobei on the way. See the tribes around Liao."

Guan Sheng nodded, and cupped his hands towards Wu Tian: "Your Majesty has a plan in mind, it's Guan who is worrying too much."

Wu Tian said with a smile: "Brother Guan, you are also for the good of Liang Guo. I keep this in my heart. This time I want you to be the vanguard when I go to Xixia. When the time comes, I want to see you show your power."

Guan Sheng was very happy when he heard that Wu Tian had chosen him to be the vanguard, and quickly knelt down to Wu Tian.

"Your Majesty is very grateful to the minister for his important use. Rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely devote himself to death."

Wu Tian helped Guan Sheng up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Guan, you don't have to. Brother Tang Long has already developed thousands of red-clothed cannons and hundreds of howitzers. I will leave them all to you. You lead an army of 20 to practice well, and when you are familiar with all the drills, you will be the vanguard and lead an army of 20 as the vanguard, and I will lead the remaining army of 40 as the rear to attack Xixia."

"Yes!"

In a blink of an eye, autumn arrived.

It has been three months since Wu Tian came to Liangcheng, and the layout and construction here are almost perfect, which is good enough for the duties of the capital of a country.

The only thing that worries Wu Tian is the flood and the establishment of the navy.

Wu Tian found Wu Yong, and the two drank in the back garden of the palace.

After drinking for three rounds, Wu Tian said directly: "Grand Master, I came to you for two reasons. One is about the flood. We moved the capital, so we can temporarily avoid the flood. But this is not a long-term solution. There are fertile fields around the city of Tokyo, if we can control the flooding well and divert the water to the farmland for irrigation, we will surely have a bumper harvest in the city of Tokyo, and with the help of super rice, the harvested grain will be enough for the Liang Kingdom for three years."

Wu Yong nodded and said: "Your Majesty's thoughts, I have also thought about it. Recently, I have been looking for experts who can save the floods. Until yesterday, I heard that Li Bing, the prefect of Shu, is an expert in water conservancy. He supervised the construction of Dujiangyan, which used flood irrigation. The Qianli Plain in Chengdu. The land of Shu has a great harvest, and the food obtained is enough for the people of Shu to feed for two years. In addition, the threat of floods to Shu is also solved."

Hearing this, Wu Tian's eyeballs lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "Since there is such a powerful person, the Grand Master should have brought him long ago and introduced him to me."

Wu Yongdao: "The minister has ordered him to come to Youzhou City, and it is estimated that he should arrive today."

Just as he was talking, a eunuch came in, cupped his hands towards Wu Tian, ​​and said: "Your Majesty, there is a man named Li Bing outside the palace, who said that the grand master invited him to come."

When Wu Tian heard that Li Bing had come, he was very happy, and said to the eunuch: "Li Bing is my guest, please come in."

The eunuch went out and led a middle-aged man in after a while.

"Your Majesty Li Bing, I have seen His Majesty and Grand Master."

Li Bing stood and cupped his hands instead of kneeling.

Wu Tian didn't mind, pointing to an empty seat, he said to Li Bing: "Li Aiqing, you've worked hard all the way. Sit down, have a drink with me, and talk about the new water conservancy project by the way."

Li Bing bowed his hand to Wu Tian: "I'm just a small official in Shu, how dare I sit with your majesty and grand master, I'd better stand and talk."

Wu Tian smiled, and said: "In my eyes, as long as you can do things that are beneficial to Liang Guo, you are my guest, and it has nothing to do with your official status."

Li Bing hesitated, and Wu Yong interjected, "Your Majesty has already said so, you can sit down. Sitting is also convenient for talking to us."

Seeing that Wu Yong had said that, Li Bing stopped insisting, and after bowing his hands to the two of them, he sat down.

"I heard that Li Aiqing built Dujiangyan in the middle of Sichuan, which ensured a thousand miles of harvest in the Chengdu Plain and relieved the floods. Tokyo City, Luoyang City and Chang'an City all had floods. I want Aiqing to find a way to deal with these three floods. Firstly, it can protect the safety of these accompanying capitals, and secondly, it can take the opportunity to develop the agriculture around these accompanying capitals, develop the economy, and enhance the strength of Liang Guo."

Wu Tian said bluntly.

Li Bing bowed his hands to Wu Tian and said: "Your Majesty's benevolence, I can understand. But I dare not promise you that you will be able to relieve the flood of the three capitals. Because the terrain and water level of the three capitals are different, the situation Different, so the corresponding treatment methods are different. In addition, to deal with floods, it should not be blocked, but should be dredged. Only reasonable dredging, water will not accumulate together, and floods will not form. The last point is to repair the river. The manpower and financial resources required are not simple. At that time, the minister spent nearly 10 manpower and millions of dollars in food and money just to build Dujiangyan in central Sichuan. The construction of the three accompanying capitals may consume far more than Dujiangyan."

Wu Tian pondered for a while, then nodded.

"You don't need to worry about manpower and money, Li Aiqing. Money can be dispatched from the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Lingnan regions on the spot. As for manpower, the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions can be mobilized. The population of the Central Plains and Guanzhong are no less than One million. The population of these two places can be at the disposal of Aiqing."

Hearing this, Li Bing nodded.

"If this is the case, I have the confidence to deal with the floods in these three capitals."

"Since Aiqing agrees to accept this matter, I will now designate you, Aiqing, as the governor of the river, and concurrently as the admiral of the river. You are responsible for all the governance of the river. If someone blocks it, you will kill it first and then act."

Wu Tian ordered with a serious face.

Li Bing was very grateful, knelt in front of Wu Tian and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to control the flood."
