Chapter 691 Just do it!
Chapter 691: Just do it!
Seeing him playing tricks at the critical moment, Qin Lei's expression became more and more ugly. He looked at Yang Wenyu who had been silent and said in a deep voice: "Wen Yu, you are the leader of the army. It's time to express your opinion."
"Yes." Yang Wenyu nodded slightly and said slowly: "The last general will see you, and the soldiers will talk about the soldiers. In fact, the reason why the Shen Junmen advocated water attack is because if it continues normally, it is afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops may not be able to capture Shen Jingcheng for three or five years. This is the fundamental reason for this plan. If not, why should we sit here and scratch our scalp? Wouldn't it be pleasant to attack in a swarm of bees?" As he said, he looked at Shen Qing and said: "If the water attacks Shen Jingcheng in the end, I think the Shen Junmen must have a careful plan, and the people in the city will not be affected by the disaster of fish in the pond."
"What the Lord said is." Shen Qing nodded and said, "There is indeed a statement, and I am waiting to report to the prince, the Lord and all the generals."
Qin Lei waved his hand and said, "Listen to Wen Yu first." Shen Qing had no choice but to give up.
Yang Wenyu nodded and continued, "Your Majesty, I don't think there is anything wrong with water attack. I have another concern... If the water attacks Shenjing City, Taihu Lake and Qianjiang are nearly a hundred miles away, so how easy is it? How much people's strength can be achieved? If there is heavy rain and strong winds during this period, I am afraid that it will take more than a year. Such manpower and material resources are not inferior to the original project of reopening the Jingshui River. Can we still afford it with our country that has been in the long war with the Qin Dynasty?"
He doesn't talk about morality, only difficulties, and people have to face it.
Qin Lei nodded slowly and looked at Shen Qing and said, "If this cannot be solved, it's better not to discuss your plan."
"Prince, it's not difficult to draw water!" Shen Qing waved his hand, and a personal soldier pushed a sand table behind him.
"Please move with all the generals, please stand up and invite him." Shen Qing stood up and invited him.
"Look at what he is." Qin Lei stood up with a smile and called everyone to surround him.
Shen Qing pointed at the sand table with a bamboo whip and said loudly: "This is the topography of the capital of the Chu State that the Military Surveying and Mapping Bureau was created by the Military Surveying and Mapping Bureau. Please look at it, these crisscrossing networks are the dense rivers and ditches around Shenjing City. Among them, nine rivers flow through Shenjing City, which are so close that they are like their moat."
"At the end, I have asked Director Xue Naiying, the General Administration of Water Resources, and Director Xu Qianshan Xu of the General Administration of Canals. The two experienced experts agreed that if water is to flood the Shenjing City, these rivers will be ready-made water diversion channels. The only thing that needs to be solved is that the water flow is smooth and the flow is insufficient. You need to open an opening from the upper reaches of Taihu Lake and Qianjiang River to achieve its momentum."
All the generals were quite interested in hearing what he said, and who would not want to end this thrilling war earlier?
"Just say it." Only Tu Gongchun said unhappy.
Pretending to not hear, Qin Lei asked Yang Wenyu again, "What are the concerns about Wenyu now?"
Yang Wenyusheng had a delicate heart. Of course, he heard that the prince had decided this. After pondering, he nodded and said, "I will hear the just-in-one argument that Shen Junmen has proved the feasibility of flooding the capital of the Shen Shen. I will deeply agree with it."
Tu Gongchun heard that he had agreed, and his blushing face couldn't help but look purple, glaring at Yang Wenyu and said, "Dao you ask the general, where is the way to do it? Do you want to put the Qin Dynasty in vain and trap the prince in unjust?"
Unchanged, he endured Tu Gongchun's questioning. Yang Wenyu looked at him without dodging and said, "It is not possible to unify the world without corpses, and it is not possible to accumulate like mountains of corpses everywhere! What General Qin said just now is not very delicate, but it contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth! He woke up like a drum and morning bell."
Hearing Yang Xiucai, who had always admired, praised him, Qin Youcai scratched his brain and laughed, "Actually, I'm not that good either." He really took it seriously.
Smiling at him, Yang Wenyu continued, "Just as Brother Youcai said, since we have made the intention of unifying the Three Kingdoms and ending hundreds of years of troubled times, this is to comfort the heavens, safeguard the people, create a hundred years of prosperity, and create a great benevolence for all ages! If you want to do this great benevolence, you must do something unkind first! Killing one person is unkind, and killing one hundred thousand million people is also unkind. Why can Mr. Tu tolerate the indecent being of one person, but not tolerate the indecent being of one person?"
"Killing one person cannot shake the root of benevolence and righteousness. Killing a million people is tyrannical Jie and Zhou!" Tu Gongchun said with a rough face and a blunt neck.
"It's just a hundred steps to laugh." Yang Wenyu smiled and said, "Can you say which one is darker, a crow or a group of crows?"
"This..." Tu Gongchun was speechless, but he still stared at Yang Wenyu like a cockfighting.
"Okay, stop and stop." King Wucheng, who had been listening to their arguments quietly, finally shouted softly.
The generals who were watching the fun quickly sat upright, and Yang Wenyu and Tu Gongchun had to stop and wait for the prince's decision.
After glanced at the people in the account again, Qin Lei nodded and said, "Gongchun is right. Even the army representing violence must always remember the word "benevolence and righteousness"! For us soldiers, what is benevolence and righteousness? The country is away from war and the people live and work in peace and contentment!" As he said that, he glanced at Tu Gongchun, and saw that he nodded frequently, he continued: "But have we done it in hundreds of years? No! Looking through our history, we only see endless wars and disputes, and only see the painful suffering of the people. Killing and wars again and again, what is the root cause behind this? Have you ever thought about it?"
He asked this question, and no one dared to speak, and he listened to the prince with a solemn expression: "Because the Three Kingdoms are in power, because tigers and wolves are everywhere! There are oppositions, there are wars and disputes, and there are tigers and wolves, so the people are suffering. How to solve this?" As he said that, he looked at Qin Youcai and said in a deep voice: "Youcai, what do you think?"
Qin Youcai quickly shouted: "We must use violence to defeat violence, turn ourselves into the strongest tiger, and eliminate all forces, so that there will be no opposition or disputes!" He said to himself, grandma, he has never been so outstanding in his life.
Qin Lei nodded and said, "That's true! Take the example in front of you. Apart from attacking with water, we have no other way to make the stubborn Chu State perish as soon as possible. If the world cannot be unified and the war cannot be stopped, that is long-term unkindness and righteousness! If the great benevolence and unkindness, ending the war in Chu State as soon as possible is true great benevolence and righteousness. Otherwise... the variables are unpredictable." His voice gradually became low, and he said word by word: "This matter has been decided, so you don't need to discuss it anymore." He sighed and said, "Even if the infamy is forever, it will be borne by the solitary one."
"We are willing to share honor and disgrace with the prince." The generals quickly stood up and said in unison, and even Tu Gongchun no longer expressed any objections. During the war, the generals understood the truth that "there will be final." If they were entangled in these great principles, they would have to continue to argue endlessly and delay the main affairs.
After the major event was agreed, King Wu Cheng gave Shen Qing a sword, giving him the power to act cheaply, and the three armies followed his dispatch.
Shen Qing has also been a veteran who has been a great task for a long time. After accepting the appointment, he is calm and mobilized all kinds of people to deploy a water battle strategy.
Since he was the first person to recruit people to dig rivers and lakes and protect them from attacks by the outside Chu army, he naturally had no choice but to take charge of the task.
Yang Wenyu's main land force was the outer periphery of the General Office, and tried to increase the protective wall surrounding Shenjing City as much as possible, and prevent the Chu army from breaking through in the city.
The task of attacking Shenjing City was handed over to the increasingly powerful Daqin Navy... To this day, General Chu Po had more than 120 Wucheng giant ships, more than 1,000 generals cannons, and more than 1,000 prince-level main ships. He was fully capable of blocking the support of the Chu navy outside while attacking, and preventing people in the city from escaping from the water.
After the task was assigned, all the people followed the order without any neglect. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Shen Qing sent another letter to invite two water conservancy experts, Xue Naiying and Xu Qianshan. As soon as the two received the letter, they took a fast boat to go down the water and arrived in the Shenjing area on New Year's Eve. Shen Qing went out to welcome him for several miles.
As soon as he saw the two, Shen Qing was very excited and immediately asked the two of them for advice on various details, which made the old two full of dust laugh and cry. Xue Naiying smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to pay a visit to the prince first?"
"Oh... that's natural." Shen Qing slapped his forehead and smiled embarrassedly: "I'll take you there now." Then he led the two adults to report on the Central Army King's Account.
The Qin army camp stretched for dozens of miles, and the tents along the way were filled with flesh and tearful smells, and laughter was heard... It was the Chinese New Year when the army camp arrived. When it was the central army camp, it was already dark. Shen Qing greeted Qianniuwei who was standing guard at the door and said, "Go and report it, and the two directors are here."
Not long after Qianniuwei entered, he heard the prince's hearty laughter coming from inside: "It's Lao Xue and Qianshan, come in quickly."
Shen Qing took the two of them in, and the two brothers of the Qin family came out in surprise and said with surprise: "I didn't expect to celebrate the New Year with Lao Xue." They were in the same mood as Xue Naiying, and were naturally happy to see him coming, so they pulled his arm in while walking.
Xue Naiying also smiled and said, "I almost couldn't catch up." Then he and they entered the camp with them.
Shen Qingchao Xu Qianshan, who was neglected, smiled and said, "The soldiers are all rough, don't mind."
Xu Qianshan shook his head and smiled, and followed him in.
The big tent was steaming hot, and the documents were temporarily removed. A large long table was set up, and a large plate of chicken, duck, fish, and stewed vegetables and barbecue were placed. A group of generals sat around the table, looking at the people coming in.
King Wucheng, who was sitting in the top of the head, laughed and said, "Go to the table quickly, everyone is waiting for you two."
After the two of them worshipped the prince with great gifts, they quickly sued the generals in the room. When they saw the seats reserved by the prince, they immediately said in fear and fear: "If you can't do it, how can we sit on the heads of the generals?"
"Just sit, they invited you." Qin Lei waved his hand and said, "The guests on the seat will naturally sit on their heads." The Qin brothers each pressed them in the position close to the prince, and smiled and said, "After entering the military camp, you must obey the orders and follow the command." The two had to push and sit down halfway, put half of their butts on.
After everyone was in the table, Qin Lei raised his glass and smiled and said, "Don't drink alcohol during wartime. This rule is sometimes quite annoying." The generals nodded and said with a frown: "There is nothing more annoying than this."
"It's useless to hate it." Qin Lei shook his head and said, "If you want to drink wine, hurry up and finish the war. Let's drink drunk before we can stop. Now... we can only use tea instead of wine. Is it good to drink?" The generals laughed and drank the cup of tea with him, and then began to feast on it.
In fact, earlier, Qin Lei had already had the New Year's Eve dinner with Nian Yao in the back tent... Because it was the battle to destroy the country, Qin Lei sent Yunluo back to Jingshan City so that she would not feel like a knife. So Nian Yao was the only one who accompanied him, serving his daily life and food, and sometimes having some entertainment activities with him...
Therefore, Qin Lei had just used a few chopsticks and stopped the chopsticks, held a bowl of thick mushroom soup, sipped it lightly, and looked at everyone with a smile. After a while, he saw Xu Qianshan stopping the chopsticks and not eating them, but just drank the soup in a small sip. He asked with a chuckling, "Why are the big guy eating this little?"
Xu Qianshan was about to put the bowl and get up and replied, but when he saw the prince waved his hand and signaled him not to get up, he sat down again and whispered: "If you eat too much, you will feel stomachache. You can only eat less."
"Then let's go and sit in the back." Qin Lei smiled and said, "We will affect our appetite here."
Xu Qianshan knew that the prince had something to say, so he got up and followed Qin Lei to the tent. After Shi Gan served tea for the two, he returned to the tent to have dinner without disturbing them.
"Be careful of your health and don't work too hard." With the light, Qin Lei looked at Xu Qianshan's bronze face and said warmly: "Don't be too stressful, just take it slowly." After Xu Dancheng cut off his post as the people, the important task of revitalizing the Xu family fell on Xu Qianshan's shoulders. He was also a responsible person, so he naturally would not refuse to fulfill his responsibilities. Since then, he has worked even more crazily. He has almost lived and lived in the Qianli Canal for several years. He has passed by his house many times without entering, and the wind, rain and sun. People in his thirties look like they are in their early forties.
Xu Qianshan thought that after suffering so many changes, his heart was already as hard as iron stone, but he didn't want to hear a few warm words from the prince. Tears were almost flowing down. He nodded vigorously and said softly: "I know what I know." Qin Lei smiled and said, "You don't have a child yet?"
Xu Qianshan blushed and said, "I have been at home for less than a month since I got married, so..."
"It's not good." Qin Lei shook his head and said, "We are about the same age, and I'm both the fathers of nine children."
"Nine..." Xu Qianshan was a little confused, thinking that everyone in the world knew that you had eight children, so why did one of them pop up again? But he knew that he had a broken word when he opened his mouth, and quickly remedyed it: "Nine are good, are nine nines ones one..."
Qin Lei also realized that he was talking about his slut, and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, it's really good to be one." He quickly changed the sensitive topic and said, "After dealing with the matter here, you don't go back to the canal yamen. Guantao has long wanted to divide the errands of the Ministry of Revenue, so you can take it."
"But it depends on the arrangements of the prince." Xu Qianshan stood up and thanked him: "I don't know what special orders did the prince give?"
"There is indeed something that requires you to pay attention to." Qin Lei nodded and smiled.
"I'm so proud of myself." Xu Qianshan quickly sat upright and said.
"The situation is clear now, and Shangjing and Shenjing are surrounded by our army. At the end of next year, the world will be the world of my Great Qin." Qin Lei's eyes flashed with confidence and he whispered: "Since they are all their own business, no matter how the war is planned, we have to consider the livelihood of the common people."
"The prince is far-sighted." Xu Qianshan nodded and said, "It is indeed a blessing in the world."
"No need to flatter." Qin Lei smiled and said, "In other words, we must not only complete the tasks with quality and quantity, but also flood the villages and fields as little as possible, and also prepare for the aftermath... we must let Shenjing City return to normal as soon as possible after the war."
After listening to the prince's orders, even though Xu Qianshan was already in power and mature and steady, he couldn't help but sigh in secret: "Idols are idols, they are indeed gods farts, extraordinary!" After more than 200 years of war, the prince was able to remain calm on the eve of ending the troubled times and establishing a unified empire, thinking about what happened after the war and what the people were like. This alone shows that the prince was indeed a wise ruler that Emperor Taizong of Tang had never seen since...
"Don't worry, my subordinates will do their best." Xu Qianshan quickly stabilized his mood and said respectfully: "Although there is a plan, how to open the groove? Where is it? How much people's strength is required? Bei Zhi and Lord Xue have to conduct a personal investigation before they can be decided."
"Don't rush for a moment," Qin Lei smiled and said, "Just do not delay the Taohuashen."
"I am humble and quick." Xu Qianshan whispered: "Let's go tomorrow."
"Okay." Qin Lei nodded and said, "Let Shen Qing take someone to accompany you tomorrow, so don't be attacked by the guerrillas of Chu."
"Guerrillas?" Xu Qianshan said in surprise: "What kind of troops is that?"
