Chapter 1091 flooded

"Give it to him-"

Hearing this condition, Li Jia hesitated for a moment and said without hesitation: "I don't believe that the huge Northern Han treasury will not be able to take out a few thousand taels of gold, right?"

The current ratio is that one gold is equal to four silvers, one silver is equal to two jins, and ten thousand jins of copper coins are just more than one thousand taels of gold, not too much.

"In addition, let him have another thousand taels of gold and tell him that things must be done!"

"Here!" Wu Qing responded quickly.

Money and other things are all over the world. As long as Taiyuan can be captured, twelve prefectures, dozens of counties, and even on the verge of desert grasslands, gold is nothing in the face of such an advantage.

After all, today's society is based on copper, and gold is too valuable, so it is not easy to spend it.

After receiving the feedback, Ma Feng immediately made up his mind. It seemed that Tang State was so generous and sincere. In this way, it would be worth his death.

So, Ma Feng was connected, let alone the officials who were already ready to move had thoughts in an instant. In a short while, the officials of the Taishen all wanted to surrender.

According to their words, surrendering before the city is broken is called abandoning the darkness and turning to the light. If the city is broken, it is called a prisoner. No matter what the official position is, their wealth may not be able to be saved.

Do you know how difficult it is to plunder some money in the barren Northern Han?

Even in the face of the pressure from the ministers, Guo Wuwei was still indifferent. With him, Liu Jien was convinced by his younger brother Liu Jiyuan and strengthened his determination and would never surrender until the last moment.

Liu Jiye did not express his attitude. He did not mention whether he surrendered or not. He just waited for the city and did his duty.

He stood on the wall and looked at the water level higher and higher in the distance, and couldn't help but feel terrified. The embankment was getting higher and higher, and the more the Fen River was intercepted, and now, it was even about two feet high.

Such a mighty power is extremely disturbing.

In fact, when it was about to flood, the palace sent eunuchs to find out the water level for almost half an hour, just to be prepared so that they would not be caught off guard.

And the palace did plan to confirm whether to surrender based on the results of the flooding.

Liu Jiye's unclear mind made many officers in the army unsure.

Of course he understood that he had received gifts from the Tang people, and many people in the army were probably the same. Many people were rippling in their hearts, just because he, the general, had too great prestige and could not make up his mind for a while.

In fact, when he left Tuanbai Valley, he already understood that Feng Jinke might have surrendered to the Tang people. The sneak attack that night was just to attract Feng Jinke's attention on the spot, and to collude with others to avoid his sight.

And, the same is true today. The huge Taiyuan City is so indestructible on the surface, but in fact, if it weren't for the surging of many termites.

"Anyway, as long as you can be worthy of your heart."

Liu Jiye looked outside the city with a calm expression.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it started raining again in Taiyuan, but the defenders on the city wall looked outside the city with their legs unwilling to move.

I saw that the embankment outside the city intercepted a large number of Fen Rivers. Now the wind blows the river waves, and it is constantly rolling. The embankment is shaking, almost as high as the city wall, and it is surging at the end.

The Tang people obviously would not wait for it to collapse. A few stone-throwing cars had already fixed their positions at a distance, aiming at the precarious dam and began to project.

"Boom--" The first test shot was several meters away from the embankment.

Immediately, the second time began, the stones directly entered the dam, causing a large amount of water to splash.

The third and fourth times were hit continuously, until the eighth time, the dam could no longer hold back, making a huge fracture sound, and a thin stream broke out from the dam.

Immediately, the gaps became more and more wide and wider.

"Boom--" A huge sound suddenly burst out, and a large number of wood and stones rushed towards Taiyuan City along with the Fen River.

The huge waves of water were like a giant dragon, rushing towards the Taiyuan city wall without hesitation.

"Plop—"

The Taiyuan city walls withstood the fatal blow of the water waves, and then all kinds of stones and wood continued to silt. Through the cracks of the door, a large amount of water continued to pour into the city, and more and more, and the streets were filled with water.

In the city, houses that were disrepaired for a long time were constantly soaked and collapsed. Dongcheng and Zhongcheng were already like a country of marsh. Many people's homes were flooded and could only cook and rest on the roof.

The people were wailing.

However, the Xicheng where the emperor is located has the highest terrain and is not affected at all.

The average altitude of Taiyuan City is 700 meters, while the west city is almost built against the mountains. Even if the flood overturns, it will flow eastward. It has no impact on these nobles.

Moreover, Taiyuan City is almost grid-shaped, with one city set and one city. Some places are affected by disasters, but some places are normal.

"The Tang people were vicious in trying to destroy the Fen River and flood Taiyuan," Guo Wuwei said coldly: "It's just a pity that my ancestors had expected that there was almost no damage to the West City, and Taiyuan was still as solid as a rock."

Liu Jien nodded repeatedly. Although he was unhappy with Guo Wuwei, he still agreed with this point. As long as he did not flood him, Taiyuan City would not be lost.

"Your Majesty, although the West City is safe and sound, the people of Zhongcheng and Dongcheng are trapped in the country of Ze."

Ma Feng immediately persuaded with great painstaking words: "It is now midsummer, the heat is unbearable, and the flood is accompanied by plague. Once the infection spreads, how can the entire Taiyuan City be stable?"

"This--" Liu Jien panicked. The plague and other things cannot be prevented by relying on the city wall alone. The most terrible thing is that human-to-human transmission. Once the people and soldiers are infected, Taiyuan City will inevitably be destroyed.

"What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, don't panic-" Liu Jiyuan was younger, but his mind was clear. He said bluntly: "Although the flood is terrible, it will inevitably recede within two or three days. The plague will naturally be protected by the Imperial Doctor. The only thing that is worrying is that Taiyuan City has been built for hundreds of years, and it is naturally strong, but it is uncertain to protect it from water."

"You mean?" Guo Wuwei was shocked, and he said, "City walls may be soaked in water?"

"That's right!" Liu Jiyuan said immediately: "So, we must immediately send people to repair the damaged city wall before the Tang people discovered it, so as to avoid taking advantage of the opportunity. This is the key task now."

"That's right!" Liu Jien nodded and praised, "Just do as Taiyuan Yin said."

Seeing this, Ma Feng couldn't help but shake his head. When he reached this point, he was still so stubborn. What should I do?

Outside the city wall, Li Jia looked at the still indestructible Taiyuan City, and was a little confused.
