Chapter 1012: The situation changes

In this big tent, I suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Anyone understands that flooding Luoyang, coupled with the artificial plague, is to kill hundreds of thousands of people. If there are soldiers and horses outside the city, the city will become a country of martyrs. Plagues are rampant. At that time, there are only a few people who will escape.

There was already a chill in Wu Yan's heart.

He knew very well that this was the most effective way to deal with Luoyang, but it was just too cruel.

After a long time, Wu Yan smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."

He seemed to have figured it out, and what else could he care about at this time? Taking down Luoyang and destroying Chen State was the most urgent task. Moreover, he must use the most time-saving method to prevent the Yan people from stabbing the knife behind him. He also needed to retain enough vitality to suppress the countless civil wars in Chen. Since this is the case, he could only use this method.

But Yang Yi never expected that His Majesty had such an arrangement in secret. This was too poisonous. Yang Yi couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, if this were the case, what would the descendants of future generations think of us thousands of years later... Please..."

"Haha..." Xiang Zheng laughed: "After a thousand years, people will only know that I am a wise ruler in the world. How do I worry about them? Those who accomplish great things have always been careless and the most confused. Instead, they are those who think they are doing some kind of righteousness. They are pedantic and ridiculous. When a person dies, there will be nothing left. Therefore, living is the most important thing. Yang Yi, you have been with me for many years, and I have never treated you badly, but you have been against me everywhere recently. What does this mean? You must understand that you are my prime minister and the pillar of the Great Chu. What you have to think about is how to assist me, rather than sing a opposite tune with me everywhere, hum!"

Yang Yi lamented in his heart, and at the same time became frightened. He knew in his heart that His Majesty's patience for him had reached its limit, so he had to say, "I have been guilty of death."

Xiang Zheng waved his hand lightly: "That's it. I have ordered people to build the embankment and be ready to open the gate and release water at any time. Now, I'm just waiting for a heavy rain. Governor Wu, now it's not only a cooperation between Chu and Yue, but also invite you to take people there in person. At that time, I will take Luoyang. This great Chen world will have your own share."

Wu Yan was not shy, nodded and bowed.

A Luo River runs directly through the entire Luoyang City. In the upper reaches of Luoyang, that is, the location of Luokoucang, the terrain here is higher, and the turbulent Luo River flows through here.

Here, tens of thousands of civilians have been mobilized, and many of them have been requisitioned nearby. The Chu army, Shu army and the newly joined Vietnamese army drove these ragged civilians with whips and prepared to build a simple dam in the middle of the river. At the same time, a lot of gunpowder was transported. They prepared to use gunpowder to directly use gunpowder to pour the river water directly into the downstream Luoyang City.

This is a busy scene. The villagers are barefoot and working in the mud beside the riverbed. They are all ashamed, and from time to time, some people are whipped.

At that time, even Emperor Chen, who conquered the Hu people outside the pass, did not requisition civilians. Even those who were in the army gave generous silver rewards. But now that the Chu people, the Shu people, and the Yue people also came, they directly requisitioned their cattle and horses, took away their food, and then put all the males together, only three or two yellow rice a day, but they made them work day and night.

No one knows what they are doing now.

However, some Chu soldiers secretly revealed their voices.

It is about to flood Luoyang.

Suddenly, countless Chen people all looked as if they were ashamed. They knew the horror of the river after it flooded. Once it flooded, it would be a barren land for thousands of miles, and the only one that suffered was Luoyang City.

At that time, all crops will be submerged and people will have no food. At that time, the sweeping water will bury countless people into the water. At that time, it will be hell on earth, and then it will be plague, famine, and countless disasters.

Many people became frightened, but under the personal supervision of the Chu governor, these whips hung above their heads, making them afraid to resist at all.

It is said that the Chu army transferred were all the Chu army guards who were most loyal to the Chu emperor. These people were different from ordinary Chu people. The ordinary Chu people were often easier to speak and even showed some sympathy for the Chen people, while these people seemed much more ruthless.

But even so, there are still many people among these guards, secretly showing worries. Sometimes they look here from afar, and you can see the outline of Luoyang City from afar. There are also some refugees in private, but... the atmosphere here is still desperate.

Chen Kaizhi and the elite Chen army have been destroyed. Now... it is only a matter of time to destroy the Great Chen. The Emperor of Great Chu personally fought, and no one dared to go against his will. It is said that Yang Yi, the Prime Minister of the Army, began to get sick after the emperor scolded him and chose to shut up.

Compared with the Chu people, the morale of the Yue people and Shu people was even lower. Last night, a barking of dogs suddenly came out. It is said that a group of military officers were found in the Yue army to conspire to rebel. They wanted to cause a mutiny in the army. Then they took their people to Luoyang City and reported the news outside the city.

So that night, the Grand Governor Wu Chu personally brought his people to the camp in Luokou. After a night of trouble, he captured more than 70 people, most of whom were low-level military officers, and one of them was a guerrilla general. At dawn the next day, the heads of more than 70 people were directly hung up.

Here, there was a sense of death, and everyone was filled with fear. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the project here, Liang Xiao, the governor of the Chu army, and Wu Chu, the governor of the Vietnam army, were personally in charge. Their camp was set up on a hill with a higher terrain, surrounded by guards.

At night, the camp here became noisy. The women captured nearby and the wine given by the Emperor of Chu became their tools for venting, and they enjoyed it all night long.

After seven or eight days, the rain finally came.

The dark clouds rolled in the sky. When they saw the dark clouds, their personal soldiers hurried to report to Liang Xiao: "Governor, Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor... Governor..."

Liang Xiao slept late and could not get up until the sun was noon. At this moment, he heard this movement, but when he heard it, he turned over and rose up. He raised his shoes, opened his belly, and hurried out of the big tent. He looked up and saw the rolling dark clouds, as if he was overwhelmed by the whole earth.

Liang Xiao sighed and couldn't help but be happy: "Okay, it's a good one, finally... it's still here... it's not in vain."
