Liang Xiao glanced at the worried emperor.

He stumbled: "Maybe, news will come in the next few days. Your Majesty, please relax. The Hu people are just greedy for money and goods. As long as they are satisfied with money, they will naturally be satisfied. As for the place within the pass, I think they will not be too interested."

As he said that, he paused and continued, "Even if the news is coming, I don't think so quickly. I think that the most important thing for Your Majesty at the moment is to take Luoyang. As long as you take Luoyang, everything will be done as you wish."

Xiang Zheng nodded: "You should go and rest earlier."

That night, Xiang Zheng did not sleep well. He seemed to hear personal soldiers whispering outside the tent, as if he was saying that Your Majesty is unrighteous and colluding with the Hu people is a great humiliation of Chu State. You might as well break into the account and take Your Majesty's head to complete the righteousness.

Xiang Zheng woke up in the darkness in a hurry, but found that the outside of the account was silent. He let out a long sigh. Unconsciously, he found that his clothes were already wet with cold sweat.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

Therefore, he and Yi got up and did not sleep for a night.

Until the dawn begins to reveal the sky, the fish belly turns white.

But he heard a noisy sound outside the account. When he coughed, an eunuch tiptoed to make an invoice. Seeing that His Majesty had woken up, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yang has come with Wu Yan, the governor of the Yue Army. The servant thought His Majesty was not awake, so he dared not..."

"Call in." Xiang Zheng waved his hand.

Then, Yang Yi and the governor of the Yue army, Wu Yan, came in. Yang Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have brought wine and food to reward the Yue army overnight last night. The governor Wu Yan is grateful to Your Majesty, so early this morning, I hope that I can come to see Your Majesty and thank you personally."

Wu Yan immediately saluted: "I am the Emperor of Dayue, thank you Your Majesty."

Xiang Zheng laughed: "It is a brotherly country, how can we have the word Xie? This time we are advancing together to take down Luoyang and destroy the common wishes of Chen and Nai. Now we should join hands together. At that time, we will go to Luoyang City and have fun. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Wu Yan showed joy at his eyebrows. In fact, the progress of the Vietnamese army was not as smooth as that of the Chu State. The Chu people were so powerful that they could not be said to have been out of the way. In the blink of an eye, the army arrived. On the other hand, it was the Vietnamese army. They encountered walls everywhere along the way and their morale was even lower, so the progress was slow. The vanguard of this journey was just selecting elite troops and attacking the first, because they were afraid that Luoyang would completely fall into the hands of the Chu army. The subsequent army did not arrive so quickly.

What he was most worried about was that the vanguard of the Vietnamese army was attacked by the Chu army. Now, the Emperor of Chu not only did not attack the Vietnamese army, but instead rewarded the Vietnamese army. Judging from his words, he even agreed to the two countries' entry into Luoyang together. Although this may not necessarily make the Vietnamese army put down all its defenses, at least, he can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

"I just don't know when the Chu army plans to attack the city?" Wu Yan asked tentatively.

Xiang Zheng smiled, looked at Yang Yi, and then looked at Wu Yan again: "If you attack the city, you will inevitably suffer too much loss. According to me, there is no rush."

Wu Yan frowned: "If this is the case, I'm afraid I will continue to be trapped, this..."

He was a little anxious. If he didn't attack the city, he would have many dreams if he delayed like this. Now the Yan people have not yet moved. If the Yan people have moved, wouldn't it be that the Yan people have the huge benefit of sharing food?

Xiang Zheng narrowed his eyes: "Actually, he is now siegeing the city."

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment: "Minister, I don't quite understand."

Xiang Zheng smiled slightly: "I have ordered people to go to Luoshuicang! There is just upstream of Luoyang..."

Wu Yan suddenly understood something and hurriedly said, "Is Your Majesty's meaning that it is to build a dam to intercept the water, and then release the water to flood Luoyang?"

He gasped.

This move is ruthless.

Once a water attack is taken, it is equivalent to completely drowning hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City. If there is another heavy rain, I don’t know what kind of hell it will become. Although it is impossible to completely drown everyone, once there are floating corpses everywhere and the flood soaks the granaries and cellars in the city, then there will be plagues and food shortages. This will make the entire Luoyang military and civilians completely die without a burial place.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of siege is called a strategy of extermination. Although there are attacks between countries, there will be some room for some reason to prevent the population from being affected. After all, the battle to destroy the country has not happened for hundreds of years. Now... the Emperor of Great Chu directly cut off the idea of ​​siege and directly flooded the water, which made Wu Yan a little stunned. In any case, this is the most despicable method after all. At least, he has to wait until the siege fails before taking the last resort.

"What?" Xiang Zheng looked at Wu Yan coldly and sneered: "It seems that you don't agree very much?"

"I am afraid that if this is the case... the Chen people will definitely hate Chu Yue even more."

Xiang Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "You are the opinion of a scholar. Since the beginning of the Great Chu army, it is impossible for the Chen people to fall in love with me. Since that's the case, why should you be polite? Now, Chen Kaizhi and his elites have been destroyed. This Great Chen is just a piece of loose sand. If they are willing to serve my Great Chu, it would be fine. If they refuse, I will just accept the land and not the people. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City, but there are countless Chen royal family and nobles, as well as countless officials. To put it bluntly, if they die, it may not be a bad thing for Chu Yue. Chu Yue has been criticized now, and it is all at this point. Are you still afraid of other people's leisurely mouths?"

Wu Yan was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty is very worried, and he is... confused."

In fact, for him, if the Chu people go to flood the city, it seems that there is no harm to the Yue people. As long as the Yue people can cut off the land and strengthen the Yue country.

Xiang Zheng smiled again: "However, if you want to change the waterway, it is a huge project. Moreover, the flood season is coming soon. At this moment, you have to work hard all the time. So, please select a group of strong men from Yue, how about helping?"

"This..." Wu Yan smiled bitterly in his heart. He naturally understood that Xiang Zheng was of course unwilling to let Yue people get the bargain for nothing. He hoped that Yue people would go to work together. Then, the blame would be true.

Wu Yan sighed and said, "After returning to the camp, I will make arrangements."

"Very good." Xiang Zheng narrowed his eyes: "In addition, I have prepared thousands of livestock. At that time, I can also go down the water and send it to Luoyang together."

plague……

Wu Yan quickly thought of Xiang Zheng’s plan in his mind.
