Xuzhou drops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just a few minutes later, in the midst of the 10,000 Shun troops lined up outside the city, Yang Feng controlled the war horse and slowly walked across the small bridge over the moat.

At this time, in front of the open city gate, a small officer knelt tremblingly on the side of the road, holding Liu Zeqing's head high with both hands, and behind him were countless soldiers and civilians kneeling on both sides, kowtowing to the ground to greet the holy driver, no one in the entire Xuzhou City resisted, even those gentry who were unwilling to surrender, they had to kneel down among the people and wait for their fate to be decided. Less than 100 miles away from this city is Xuecheng and Pei County, which are undergoing land reform, half a year is enough time for all the news there to be transmitted here, it can be said that all the soldiers and civilians are looking forward to the arrival of the emperor, and now that the emperor is really here, of course they will not continue to work hard for Liu Zeqing, not to mention that the latter's rampant expropriation has already made people angry.

Of course, the emperor did not live up to expectations.

"Open the warehouse and release the grain!"

After picking up Liu Zeqing's head in the officer's hand with the Mo knife in his hand, His Majesty the Emperor said with a look of imperial majesty.

Then the whole Xuzhou cheered.

"confiscate all the land attached to the gentry, and give it to the tenants and the poor."

Then cheers rang through the sky.

"Confiscate all the property of the rebellious officials and gentry, and the people in Xuzhou City, regardless of men, women, children, soldiers, civilians, etc., will be given a tael of silver."

……

"Hou Gongzi?"

Just when there was a carnival in Xuzhou City, more than 200 miles away from the city, in Guide in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the supreme commander of the Dashun Army in Henan, Cihou Liu Fangliang, was looking at his cronies with some doubts.

"Master Hou is the son of Hou Sui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the former dynasty."

The cronie said.

"Hou Fangyu? One of the four sons who was expected by the leader of the Restoration Society back then, what did he come to see Ben Hou for? Forget it, let him in! ”

Liu Fangliang said.

The Hou family is a local wealthy family in Guide, when the army of King Chuang went south, the Hou family fled to the south of the Yangtze River, but with the reactivation of the Donglin Party by King Chuang, and even the appointment of Hou Sui into the court as an official, although the latter resigned in old age, but the Hou family's industry in the north has been returned, and the Hou family has also moved back to Guide. Because of his huge influence among the gentry, Liu Fangliang also had to rely on them for some things at this time, although he was not interested in these sons, but he still had to take care of them in terms of etiquette. After all, that Hou Fangyu is also a talent recommended by Qian Qianyi, a scholar of the Tianyou Palace, to King Chuang many times, and Scholar Qian is a celebrity before King Chuang at this time, even Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are a few points weaker, and even Li Laiheng was severely punished by King Chuang for speaking disrespectfully to Scholar Qian before, Liu Fangliang still doesn't want to conflict with these upstarts.

Soon, Hou Fangyu, the graceful son of the turbid world, wore a white silk shirt and carried a folding fan, and walked in with the fragrance on his body.

"The student meets Cihou."

Hou Fangyu bowed and said.

"Hou Gongzi, please get up, I don't know what advice you suddenly came to the door?"

Liu Fangliang asked.

"The student heard that the demon has arrived in Xuzhou, I don't know if it's true?"

Hou Fangyu asked.

"The enemy army has indeed arrived in Xuzhou."

Liu Fangliang said.

"I don't know if Cihou has a plan to break the enemy?"

Hou Fangyu asked.

"Things on the battlefield, there is nothing inevitable, it's just improvisation!"

Liu Fangliang said.

"The student has a plan, and he will definitely let that demon be buried in Xuzhou."

Hou Fangyu said mysteriously.

"What's the plan?"

Liu Fangliang's face changed and he hurriedly said.

"Follow the example of Guan Sheng's flooded Seventh Army, dig the Tongwaxiang Dam in the north of Lanyang, release the Yellow River water to flood Yanzhou in the north, cut off the rear of the demon, and then the armies of the imperial court will defend Xuzhou to the death, and trap the demon's 70,000 troops between Xu Si in one fell swoop."

Hou Fangyu said with a hint of excitement.

"Digging copper tile compartments?"

Liu Fangliang didn't understand at first, but then he came to his senses, and suddenly stepped forward and kicked Hou Fangyu to the ground.

"Dogs, do you know that it will drown millions of people!"

He roared angrily.

"Cihou, all the drowning is a thief realm, so what's the pity? Cihou has this good strategy for the emperor to defend the north, is it possible to sit back and watch the demon go south? Is Cihou the way of a minister? Once the embankment of the copper tile compartment is dug up, the river floods north and the area around Luxi is all Zeguo, the logistics of the dog emperor are cut off, and the city is not down, so he can only trap Xu Si. Even if this move can't get rid of this demon, it can also make its department defeated, and the danger of Henan is self-solved, although Hou Fangyu is a scholar, he also knows that this is a good strategy to break the enemy, why is Cihou indecisive, where is Cihou's loyalty to the saint? ”

Hou Fangyu said righteously.

It's as if he is more loyal to Li Zicheng than Liu Fangliang.

"Don't mention this matter again, Ben Shuai was reckless and rude for a while, Hou Gongzi, please go back!"

Liu Fangliang waved his hand in disgust.

Hou Fangyu glanced at him with disdain, and left proudly with loyalty to Emperor Dashun.

"Master Hou, why don't you listen to him."

The cronie next to him said cautiously.

"Let's follow King Chuang's army, what are we fighting for more than ten years? Isn't it just so that no one in the world will starve to death? Isn't it because of the tyrannical expropriation of the imperial court, those landlords are arrogant and strong, and we poor people really can't live? Now the emperor neither levied nor connived at those landlords, so the common people in the north not only did not pay those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but even the land rent was only 10%, and these were not the things we used to dream of? But what about our rule? What is the difference between ordinary people and the past? Didn't those landlords who were beaten away by us come back to oppress the poor? After tossing and dying countless brothers for so many years, in the end, in exchange for such a result, our brothers who died in battle may not be able to close their eyes! It's just that we follow King Chuang, we can't betray King Chuang, King Chuang wants to fight with him for the world, we can only listen to King Chuang, we can fight and fight, we can fight hard to win or lose on the battlefield, but don't make this unnecessary killing, dig up the copper tile box and drown at least millions of innocent people, even if we can temporarily repel him, can we be worthy of our conscience? ”

Liu Fangliang said.

"This scholar's heart is vicious!"

Then he added.

"These mud legs are really muddy and can't hold up the wall!"

And in the palatial Hou family mansion in Guide, the celebrity of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi is a close friend, and the former secretary of the Ming Dynasty is commenting on Liu Fangliang with a disdainful face, and his son Hou Fangyu is standing beside him, and the mud marks that were kicked by Liu Fangliang are still very clear on the graceful little white robe.

"Father, what shall we do?"

He asked.

Of course, such a scheming idea could not have been conceived by a son-in-law like him, his father Hou Sui was the real mastermind, how could Hou Fangyu know where to flood if he dug that section of the Yellow River embankment, only a guy like Hou Sui, who has been an important minister of the court for decades, knows this. Although this trick is a little poisonous, they are also forced to have no choice, as soon as the emperor hits them, their tens of thousands of acres of land are gone, not to mention that Hou Sui came back this time, it is with Qian Qianyi's earnest entrustment, he returned to his hometown to preside over the overall situation and gather the strength of those gentry to block the dog emperor north of the Yellow River.

But they also know that it is difficult to do this with those Shun army.

After all, the dog emperor was invincible in the past two years, even Jiannu was destroyed, and Dolgon was thrown to the west market, so Li Zicheng may not be stronger than Jiannu, after all, he was also driven out of Beijing by Dolgon's Eight Banners Iron Cavalry. Although Li Zicheng's strength has swelled rapidly over the years, and now it is calculated to be a million, but the vast majority of them are surrendered officers and soldiers, as for the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops, then Hou Shangshu is more clear, but he also led troops back then, and he was defeated, so it can be said that no matter how Hou Sui calculated, he could not calculate that he had the possibility of winning.

So he thought of this trick.

Dig the embankment of the Yellow River on the north bank of the copper tile box.

It is still under the control of the Shun army.

When Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng before, he didn't know whether he or the official army dug the Yellow River embankment and flooded Kaifeng or Shun's army, drowning the soldiers and civilians of the city, and at the same time, the Yellow River flooded to the south.

If the river is suddenly crossed and the embankment is dug at this time, neither Wu Sangui of Zhengzhou nor the Dog Emperor who has just arrived in Xuzhou will have time to react, once the opening is dug, no one can stop the flood, and the surging Yellow River will surge and roll the entire Luxi region, and then rush into the sea along the Jishui in the north of Shandong. At that time, the entire Luxi and even northern Lubei will be a Ze country, and the rear of the dog emperor is blocked by the river, although his logistics rely on the canal, and the river will not necessarily block the canal traffic, but the disaster caused by the river will definitely force the dog emperor to go back, after all, it will produce millions of victims, with the style of the dog emperor, it is impossible for him not to go back to the disaster first, not to mention that the flood will also cause famine, and the dog emperor will have a very hard time in the future.

But Liu Fangliang, this idiot, doesn't do it!

"A thief is a thief after all, it's hard to become a big climate!"

Hou Sui said disdainfully again.

"Fortunately, we didn't really count on them, you immediately go to Lanyang, go to Ma Degong, and tell him to cross the river and dig the Tongwaxiang embankment immediately."

Then Hou Sui said.

"Then he said that the embankment was in disrepair and collapsed, so Liu Fangliang was helpless even if he understood."

Hou Fangyu said with a smile.

"Haha!"

Then the two of them laughed together.

It was as if they had seen the surging waters of the Yellow River, surging out of the collapsed embankment like a raging dragon, rushing forward with the power to destroy everything, razing almost a third of Shandong to the ground, and rolling eastward with millions of unjust souls.

At that moment, a beautiful young woman walked in with a tray in her hand.

"Master, husband, the concubine has boiled white fungus soup for you to taste."

The latter saluted.
