"Whew! Call! --Bite! Bite! ”

Outside Hefei - on the official road, the north wind is howling, Ling'er jingling, a caravan is slowly moving, the size of the team is not large, only ten double-wheeled carriages, more than 20 guys are accompanied, it may be that the road is not very peaceful, in order to prevent thieves from robbing, the guys are all waist across the long knife, carrying bows and arrows, vigilant about the surrounding situation, in addition, the front of the convoy is playing a flag, capitalized with a 'Zheng' word!

As for the ten carriages, loaded with all good rice, and a small part of wine, in the troubled times, the countryside is barren, the price of rice is like a pearl, three times a day, some famine areas, two liters of rice can be exchanged for a yellow flower girl, trafficking grain everywhere, but it is a profiteering business, as for the spirits carried, it is a bribe along the way, the soldier does not like to drink, with this thing to buy the road, it is more effective than customs clearance documents!

"Brothers, cheer up, after entering Shouchun City, let you eat and drink well, and then go and have fun, we have ten carts of rice, how many beautiful girls can we exchange for - haha!"

The leader of the caravan is named Zheng Jiu, a native of Yangzhou-Wu County, who is over forty years old this year, with a fat head and big ears, and a fat body like a pig, because one leg is lame, so people give him the nickname 'Zheng Da Cripple', as for his identity, he is nominally a grain merchant, wandering all over the world, seeking huge profits, but in fact he is a secret agent in Jiangdong, investigating the enemy situation and collecting intelligence!

This is not surprising, when the two armies are at war, detectives must be sent, and spies are also divided into many types: long detectives, short detectives, meteor detectives, light detectives, secret detectives, and serial detectives...... Complement each other, each has its own usefulness, the most common is the rangers, densely spread around, reconnoiter the enemy, shoot the enemy rangers, but, because the target is too obvious, the rangers' activity area is limited, and the real role is still those hidden invisible spies!

Zheng Jiu is a secret agent, he was originally a member of the Jiangdong Army, when he attacked 'Qu'a City', he was unfortunately wounded and lame in one leg, and could not serve in the army, so he changed his career to be a secret agent, and used the identity of a grain merchant as a cover, the north and south of the river, on both sides of the Yellow River, traveled in all directions, detected a lot of intelligence, and also received a lot of rewards!

Once people have money, they will have a heart of enjoyment, and the same is true for Zheng Jiu, after this mission, he will return to his hometown in Wu County, use his savings for many years, buy a big mansion, marry a few beautiful women, and live his own little life, maybe in a few years, there will be a fat doll to hug!

As for this mission, he also planned it, Shouchun City was besieged for many days, the most lacking thing is food, he sent ten carts of rice over, he will definitely sell it at a good price, and he will become the most popular person, take this opportunity to spy on intelligence, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, if you are lucky, you will secretly assassinate a few generals and captains, and go back to change for a military merit title, it will be better!

"Da! Da! --Sou! Sou! ”

The small caravan was marching, and a group of Xuanjia iron horsemen rushed out of the roadside, without saying a word, bent the bow and shot, the arrow cluster was like a flying locust, fierce and accurate, in a moment, most of the caravan men fell......

"The military masters are merciful, the little ones are serious businessmen, there are customs clearance documents here, and a generous gift is given!"

Suddenly attacked, Zheng Jiu was also stunned, while pulling out his saber, dialing the arrow cluster, while taking out the paperwork, waving it vigorously, saying that it has been many years since he went south and north, and it was the first time he encountered such a fierce cavalry, and he was silent, and he directly killed him!

"Kill! --Kill! ”

Dozens of Xuanjia iron horsemen didn't care what it was, after the two rounds of arrows were fired, they pulled out the long knife on their waists, and rushed up to slash and kill, all the living were hacked to death, and the dead had to make up for two knives, and they were sure that not a single living mouth would be left!

After a while, the battle was over, the small caravan was wiped out, not a single living mouth was left, the grain cart was all robbed, Zheng Jiu was stabbed several times, fell in a pool of blood, and died without turning a blind eye, he really couldn't understand how his seamless plan failed, mansions, fertile fields, and beautiful women...... It's all about yourself anymore!

"Da Sima has an order: within a radius of 100 miles, whether it is a caravan, a pedestrian, a woodcutter, or a farmer...... Kill them all, leave no one behind, dare to slip through the net, and the whole team of rangers will be beheaded! ”

After killing people, the captain of the leader commanded his subordinates to dig a big pit on the side of the road, threw the dead into it, and let them settle in the ground, which is also the last bit of yin virtue!

That's right, the order of 'kill no matter what' was given by Xiao Yi personally, because what he wants to do is too important, related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as well as the development of the general trend of the world, no news can be leaked, otherwise all the previous achievements will be wasted!

As the old saying goes, only the dead will not leak the news, so on the top, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry wanders around, killing all the passers-by they meet, and in the chaotic years, the people who dare to run around are either enemy spies or outlaws, and there is no pity to kill them, even if there are one or two innocent people, for the sake of the overall situation of the world, they can only make some sacrifices!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Roar! --Roar! Roar! ”

Just when the rangers were everywhere, shooting enemy spies and blocking the news, Xiao Yi also started a plan, tens of thousands of elite soldiers and 100,000 young and strong people, according to the designed route, with the tools in their hands, to dig channels and clear boulders......

The people of the Han family are worthy of being the most industrious nation, although the weather is cold, the soil is hard, although the tools are simple and the project is huge, they still overcome all kinds of difficulties with the greatest perseverance, withstand the cold wind, step by step, they once again proved with sweat that this is a nation that has built the Great Wall of China, this is an invincible nation!

Xiao Yi's plan is not complicated, just like Dayu's water control, digging old channels, fertilizing water, applying water, and Huai water...... Re-drain over, use the original basin, converge into a lake, the name is also good, it is called 'Fucha Lake', in order to commemorate a generation of overlords, Wu Wang Fucha!

At the same time as gathering water into a lake, Xiao Yi also sent people to garrison the embankment on the south side, and did a little trick, as long as the water level reached the standard, an order, digging the embankment, would create a big flood, using the height of the terrain, rushing down, unstoppable, along the river all the way into Chaohu Lake, at that time, tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers, all became the food of fish and turtles!

In order to increase the impact of the water, Xiao Yi also sent people to cut down a large number of trees, and immersed them in the lake.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu relied on the benefits of the navy to guard the natural danger of Chaohu Lake, and thought that it was foolproof, but this time they were telling them what it means to 'water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat', but if you want to implement this plan, there are still three difficulties:

The first is to block the news, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are resourceful, let them know a little bit of the news, they will wake up, or move the water village, or build a dam, in that case, the previous efforts will be lost, and the momentum of Huainan will be irreparable!

It was with this in mind that Xiao Yat went on a killing spree, sending thousands of rangers to shoot and kill secret agents within a radius of hundreds of miles, as well as suspicious people, in ten days, hundreds of people have died, including some innocents, but for the sake of the world, there is no room for mercy!

The second difficulty is the problem of water flow changes, several rivers have introduced 'Fucha Lake', the original river water level will inevitably decrease, and the Jiangdong Navy is stationed at the entrance of Chaohu Lake, once they are detected, the consequences are unpredictable!

Therefore, Xiao Yi issued a strict order, can only slowly store water, not overnight, let alone cut off the old river, fortunately, it is now the dry season, the water level of several rivers has dropped, as long as it is not too obvious, the enemy troops downstream will not find out!

Over the past few hundred years, dozens of villages have appeared in the basin, totaling thousands of people, and their homes, farms, and ancestral graves have ...... That's all there, it's not easy to move out all at once!

In order to persuade the people to move away, the local officials tried their best to persuade them, but some diehards just refused to eat hard and soft, and stubbornly guarded their own one-third of an acre of land, and some hard-nosed old men simply locked themselves in their homes and swore to live and die with the farmland!

The problem of demolition and relocation has been difficult to deal with since ancient times, and in order to smooth the construction, Xiao Yat arranged three countermeasures:

First of all, 'good words to persuade each other, double the compensation', all the people who relocate, the government arranges new residences, acres of land, not to mention the number of doubled, but also exempted from taxes for three years, because the relocation of ancestral graves, disturbing the undead, and then compensate a ploughing cow, this is definitely a high price!

Secondly, the officials personally persuaded the county guard, the county commander, and the pavilion chief...... All of them were sent down, and when they encountered the stubborn people, they first bowed, and then bowed, but they really couldn't kneel and kowtow, and since ancient times, there were no officials who knelt down to worship the people, and they could do this part, which was really benevolent and righteous!

Third, after many methods have been exhausted, there is still a 'nail household' who refuses to relocate, there is only one countermeasure - killing, and the chaotic times must be re-enacted, for the victory or defeat of the Jianghuai war, for the peace of the world in Kyushu, it is inevitable to kill a few people, this is to save more people, called 'with thunderbolt means, prove the Bodhisattva's heart!'" ’

Tenacious willpower, can promote the development of the situation, under the command of Xiao Yi, the project progressed very smoothly, on the 28th day of the first month, the water channel was dug through, and the water flow slowly entered the 'Fucha Lake', and the originally dry basin became murmuring again!

On the sixth day of the first month of February, the fertilizer water channel was also dug through, and the water level of 'Fucha Lake' rose sharply, covering an area of more than 200 li, submerging countless hills, and the deepest part could reach more than 10 zhang, which was a veritable lake!

On the tenth day of the first month of February, the channel of the Huai River was also dug through, a large amount of water was injected, and the lake expanded rapidly, occupying a circle of more than 300 li, and the depth was more than 50 zhang, like a huge basin of water, hanging on the head of the Jiangdong army, which could be overturned at any time!

In the following days, the three rivers continued to inject, and the water level of 'Fucha Lake' rose sharply, which was close to the capacity requested by Xiao Yi, and at the same time, Chen Qun, who looked tired, appeared and reported bad news, because of the large number of requisitioned people, the army's grain storage consumption was extremely large, and it was about to bottom out, and it could support it for ten days at most!

"We don't have food and grass, but there is one in Hefei City, order the soldiers of the three armies, take a good rest, three days later, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will fight together, the general trend of the world is here!"

After the arrangement, Xiao Yi is also ready, he wants to go to the battle formation in person, boost morale, if he is lucky, three days later, he can have dinner in Hefei City!
