The sun shines brightly, at the top of Shaoling City, Wang Yuwen of Xiyang is meeting the "wise men" in the city. It is precisely because of these heroes who know the current affairs that the Anzhou army can easily enter the city and avoid a large number of casualties.

At this time, the image is very important, so Yuwen Wen put down his trousers, changed into his boots in advance, and stood majestic in front of the blood-stained gatehouse, having a cordial conversation with all the wise men.

"If Your Majesty knows that you are working hard for the king, you will definitely be happy. Everyone should work harder in the future to help the official army fight against the enemy."

"This time I used water to defeat the enemy, and the Shaoling area was vast. Most of the farmland that should have had good harvests may not be harvested or even lost. The enemy has been defeated. At the latest, the dam downstream will be dug tomorrow. When the flood recedes, how much crops can be harvested in the farmland..."

"This year, the harvest is bad, and it is difficult for people to make a living without food. I decided to open a warehouse and release grain. Before that, I will count my household registration. Please help..."

"There will be a major epidemic after the flood. The government will conduct centralized rectification in the city and clear the source of the epidemic. At that time, everyone needs to help from the side so that they can achieve twice the result with half the effort..."

"The enemy's new defeat will not come again in a short time. Shaoling is the Xuanhu portal. The city defense must be strengthened. Everyone should pay more attention and make suggestions..."

"The great victory of the government army, this good news will be spread to all directions. I have many relatives and friends in my family, so I will send someone to go around and talk about today's great victory."

"I will report to the emperor today. Let's go back and prepare well. In a few days, I will follow you to the Lord of Xuanhumiao and listen to the Hadith."

Yuwen Wen talked a lot, and it was all about the wise men in Xiancheng. Only the last paragraph was the key. Everyone bit the bullet and put their wealth in full, and finally there was hope of reward.

Like most prefectures and counties, most of the officials in Shaoling are locals. Originally, it doesn’t matter whether the emperor in Xuanhu City is true or false. It’s the most important thing to save his life and family business. However, now everyone has no choice but to offer the city and board the other party’s pirate ship. At least they can meet the real master, so it would be better to get some benefits.

Thanks to the great success of the business road from Huangzhou to Yecheng, Shaoling, who was on this business road, the officials and wealthy families in the city had always heard of the title of King Xiyang. It is said that this person is more trustworthy, so what he said in public will inevitably count.

The Yuchi family will sooner or later counterattack. At that time, they will take their whole family to Xuanhu and follow the emperor to retreat to Shannan or even Guanzhong. There will always be no one missing. Although the fields and real estate in their hometown are gone, it is cost-effective to be a bigger official like a county magistrate.

Yuwen Wen talked endlessly, and the others kept nodding. I don’t know how long it took to say that, but the conversation finally ended. Everyone took a leave, but one of them stayed. Yuwen Wen changed the routine of talking about the big principles of "the righteousness of the monarch and the subject" and "the future" just now, and talked about practice with the other party.

This person was not a native or official from Shaoling, but he was the first hero who persuaded Shaoling to surrender. Yuwen Wen still admired the people who took the initiative to serve the king, let alone the emperor urgently needed such a person.

Wu Qiu, the chief clerk of Ruyang County, had previously followed the county soldiers to Xuanhu to rescue the disaster. He was defeated and captured by the Anzhou army under Yuwen's command. He met the emperor in Xuanhu together with other captured officials and later released him to Ruyang.

This is a chess game, and I don’t expect it to play a big role. It’s better than killing it anyway, and Wu Qiu’s chess game later played a huge role.

When he learned that Xuanhu had fallen, the Yuzhou army withdrew from Fangcheng and returned to the army to rescue him. As a result, he collapsed without fighting outside Xuanhu City. The Yuzhou General Manager Heba Fuen was defeated and died. After the news spread, although no one still raised an army to support the king, many people's positions began to shake, and Wu Qiu was one of them.

The Wu family lived in Ruyang for many years, but the clan members' career was not smooth. They were only appointed as the princess's clerk in Wu Qiu and had a decent official position. However, he thought that if he followed the old path, the future might be blew, so it would be better to take a gamble.

The current situation is that the Yuchi family is powerful, but the Yuwen family seems to be not as weak as everyone thought before. Maybe there will be a confrontation between the two and the world. If he seizes the opportunity to reign and fight for the king and follows the emperor into the south of the mountain, the waters will always rise.

It would be nice to strive to be a county magistrate. You should know that many local wealthy families in Henan may not have children sitting in that position after several generations. Therefore, Wu Qiu felt that even if he left his hometown, it would be worth it.

When Emperor Wei entered Guanzhong west, many officials and children of the big clan followed him. Although Emperor Wei was still a puppet when he arrived in Chang'an, most of the people who followed him were living well in Guanzhong. Wu Qiu believed that the opportunity to change the fate of the family was right in front of him, and it would be a pity not to seize it.

So when he learned that Heba Fuen was defeated, he secretly met with several wealthy families in the city and decided to wait for an opportunity to serve the king. Later, the Anzhou cavalry arrived outside the city and opened the door to offer the city.

It was also because of Wu Qiu Xiancheng that Yuwen Wen's tactics were successfully implemented.

His tactics are very simple, they are just whether they dare to do it, that is, to build a dam and return water to flood Shaoling (Lekou). There are several rivers gathering in the places where Shaoling and Lekou enemy camps are located, also known as Huiqu. It can be imagined that in the Yuzhou area on a plain, the terrain is relatively low.

Then, build a dam downstream of the Rushui River (south) and the downstream of the Rushui River (east) to return water. It’s easy to talk about the downstream of the Rushui River. Just start from Xuanhu and find a good place to start work along the Rushui River. As for the more suitable location downstream of the Rushui River, it is Ruyang.

Near Ruyang City is the intersection of the Black River and Ying River. A dam is built there, and the return water can ensure that the enemy camps in Shaoling and Lekou are flooded. The problem is that Ruyang was not originally under the control of the Anzhou army.

However, with Ruyang County Princess Wu Qiu, the inner-command, this is no problem.

The dam site was solved. The next problem was that in order to achieve unexpected results, the dam construction must be completed in a short period of time, thereby causing a sharp rise in the upstream water level to trap or even drown most of the enemy troops in Lekou.

To this end, a large amount of manpower and material resources were needed. Yu Wenwen transferred all the supplies in Xuanhu City and organized personnel to work. He quickly built the dam and finally made the water level in the upstream quickly rise at night.

It is not enough to rely on water alone. A large number of ships have to transport troops to give the opponent a fatal blow, but now it is too late to make wooden boats, so the Anzhou army has rush to build a large number of bamboo rafts to make up the numbers. This is also the reason why Yuwen Wen stood on the bamboo raft to command the battle.

Wu Qiu volunteered to follow the army to persuade Shaoling to surrender, and the effect was also very good.

Ruyang and Shaoling were more than a hundred miles apart, and Wu Qiu also had acquaintances in Shaoling. In addition, the flood flooded Shaoling and Anzhou troops were at the city. Pan Zihuang's army was about to be destroyed. When Shaoling's officials and generals saw that the situation was hopeless, they saw an acquaintance Wu Qiu shouting outside the city, so they simply opened the door to present the city.

Of course, Yuwen Wen should take such meritorious people very seriously. The emperor is eager to wait for someone to come and serve. It is just right for Wu Qiu to be an example to encourage more people to serve the king.

"Master Wu, you will go back to Ruyang tomorrow, pack up and take your family to Xuanhu, and don't be nostalgic for the land and other things. Follow the emperor, and there will definitely be what you should have."

"I understand, but I don't know what else can I do for the king?"

"You move your home to Xuanhu first and live temporarily. The enemy will make a comeback at any time. Don't delay it. It will be too late to regret it if you can't leave." Yu Wenwen looked east and then added: "Ruyang County is bordering the Bozhou General Administration. Who knows when the Bozhou army will rush over?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Also, the other people who have made contributions to the city in Ruyang must hurry up and move. You can urge them after you go back. If I talk too much about this, it will make people misunderstand."

"Yes, I understand."

Wu Qiu had no idea of ​​taking credit for himself. He now was determined to get on the emperor's ship, but not for the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, but simply for the sake of more paths and more certainty. He also wanted to operate more on the side of the King of Xiyang.

For Wu Qiu, the emperor's surname was Yuwen, and the King of Qi was also Yuwen. Guanzhong and Shannan were all the territory of King Qi. It was not impossible for King Qi to replace him in the future.

Climbing up to the tree of King Xiyang is equivalent to climbing up to the big tree of King Qi. He doesn't want to hang himself on one tree. Cunning rabbits have three holes, so of course people have to leave a way out.

Many generals were waiting aside. Wu Qiu said he was leaving. When the flood outside the city receded, he was going to rush back to Ruyang to move. Yuwen Wen looked at the other party's far away back and signaled Zhang Yu to approach him.

"Send a few more people to follow Zhuzhu Wu, and you must keep it safe."

"yes."

Zhang Yu went to arrange the manpower. Yuwen Wen drank a few sips of water and immediately discussed military affairs with the generals. He fought two consecutive victories. When the news reached Yecheng, Prime Minister Yuchi Dun would be furious. By then, the army heading south would not be so easy to deal with.

In the face of absolute strength, no magic trick is useful.
