138 Barrage
138 Build a dike by blocking the river
Zhan Xiaobai's expression condensed. The axle machinery is a horse carriage and a technology that can only be used for high-end large-scale weapons. If it is just a civilian carriage, the Hubao Village would never be so strictly confidential. The remaining possibility is only large weapons and equipment.
Unexpectedly, Tiger and Leopard Village actually got this weapon. It seems that I must be careful. Most of these weapons are used to restrain city walls and sea of people.
"This information is very important. You can continue to keep an eye on the movements in the Hubao Village, especially the mobilization of wood, iron, stone craftsmen, and soldiers, and don't let any clues go. If there is information, let A Fei come to report it."
"Yes, Boss Xiaobai." After Xiao Zhuo said that, he hurriedly left.
There are also a few players left, and Zhan Xiaobai asked them what information they had obtained.
The players looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "There is a medium-sized village upstream of the river planning a big move, which will be very unfavorable to the many villages along the river and may trigger a war."
"oh?!"
Zhan Xiaobai was a little confused. Could it be that the upstream villages would provoke the downstream villages? As the saying goes, there is no profit, and all villages should understand this principle. What adverse actions can the upstream villages do to the downstream villages?
The player said, "Block the river and build a dike!"
Zhan Xiaobai took a breath of air conditioning, "This move is cruel enough!"
If building a river and dam can block the water flow, delay the water shortage in your own village and accelerate the water shortage in other villages, it is definitely a killer move.
Needless to say, Zhan Xiaobai has guessed that medium-sized village is which one. There are several powerful medium-sized villages in the upper reaches of the river - led by Perfect Village, Batu Village, and Moxiao Village, as well as several recently upgraded medium-sized villages.
They are scattered within a hundred miles of the upper reaches of the river.
Perfect Village once claimed to seek a neutral position and not participate in wars with other villages, so the possibility of blocking rivers in this village is extremely small. Mo Xiaofeng, the head of Mo Xiaofeng, has always been a friendly person and wins people's hearts everywhere, so he will never do such offends. The only thing left is Batu Village who dares to do this.
Zhan Xiaobai asked: "Only Batu Village family is doing this kind of thing? Even if he is NPC Qianghu, I am afraid he can't hold back the public's anger. There should be other villages to help him?"
The player hurriedly said: "Boss Xiaobai guessed it very accurately. Batu Village and four nearby villages were conspiring to this matter together. Today, we have repeatedly calculated the conclusion that they wanted to block the river and build the embankment together from the actions of several villages. At the latest, they will build the embankment this afternoon. The river water is sparse and it will take only one hour to complete it. If you drag it down, they will not be able to cut off much water."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded, "Well, this information is very good, you can continue to inquire."
"yes!"
Several of them looked for Qiushui to receive their contributions and left in a hurry.
A Fei hurriedly said, "Brother, what do you think of this matter? Should we immediately gather people and call on all villages to rise up and cut off Nabatu Village!"
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Batu Village is not far above Moxiao Village. Do you think we are anxious first, or Moxiao Village is anxious first?"
A Fei suddenly realized, "Brother wants them to fight first?"
"Hehe, you should prepare a team immediately and you may have to take military action. The young man hasn't come back yet, so you will lead the team to fight this time."
A Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to prepare, asking General Fei’s brothers to prepare.
The game time was at noon on May 25, 180, and the villages in Wuwei County had just collected food. In the afternoon, a river in the county suddenly dropped sharply and no water flowed through it. It immediately triggered panic among the villages of various players. According to normal estimates, the water flow would be completely cut off on the 30th of the month. This made them enter the dilemma of water shortage four days in advance. Livestock and NPC villagers were all anxious and refused to work. This seriously damaged their various actions being prepared to deal with the water shortage crisis.
"Wuwei System News: Moxiao Village [Wuwei County] announced hostility with Batu Village [Wuwei County], xx Village, xx Village, xx Village, xx Village, xx Village, and xx Village, and the relationship between Moxiao Village and the above villages deteriorated sharply. The village chief of Moxiao Village issued a statement: Strictly condemns the behavior of Batu Village and other villages for their own selfishness, blocking rivers and building embankments, and damaging the interests of other villages downstream."
"Wuwei System News: The Warring States Village [Wuwei County] announced hostility with Batu Village [Wuwei County], xx Village, xx Village, xx Village, xx Village, xx Village, and xx Village, and the relationship between the above villages deteriorated sharply. The village chief of the Warring States Village issued a statement: Support Moxiao Village's just behavior, condemns Batu Village,..."
"Wuwei System News: Perfect Village once again declares its neutral position and is willing to maintain normal relations with all villages. It also states that it hopes that all parties will remain restrained and will not cause vicious conflicts due to trivial matters and harm the interests of all players."
"Wuwei System News: Batu Village Statement: For Moxiao Village, the Warring States Village distorts the facts and confuses the public... I deeply regret it. Batu Village's behavior is only for the rational use of water flow, protecting the interests of most villages as much as possible, and preventing Moxiao Village from wasting water resources arbitrarily. Therefore, our village will never surrender to external forces and give up this legitimate and reasonable behavior."
Behind are the news that each village supports Batu Village and Moxiao Village, with clear barriers. There are also some neutrals who are trying to persuade them to fight, and they stand on the side of Perfect Village.
......
In just ten minutes, dozens of village news hit the major villages and all online players in Wuwei County. For the sake of water, the villages upstream and downstream have begun to split.
All the players stared at the moment when the war broke out.
Wars are not randomly started to war on the surrounding villages. Those who can operate the villages until now are extremely smart players. A storm is about to come and the wind fills the building. The prelude to the war is often various statements, seizing the highest point of public opinion, winning more players' support, boosting morale, and building momentum for their military actions. Tell everyone that they appear upright and that the enemy is dangerous and tragic.
Public opinion is already overwhelming. The only thing that is lacking now is the village chief issued the final war order - "Fight!"
A Yima from Moxiao Village ran to Xiaobai Village, and the player messenger urgently asked for the village chief.
Zhan Xiaobai and Jianba Conference Hall met him.
The player messenger bowed to the two and said anxiously: "Captain Xiaobai Village, Elder Jianba, my village chief Mo Xiaofeng hopes to get support from your village and fight against the malicious behavior of Batu Village together to safeguard the common interests of the downstream villages."
Jianba looked at Zhan Xiaobai. Zhan Xiaobai didn't say anything, so he said to the player messenger: "This is easy, and it should be issued a statement of condemnation. Is this just a matter? Then you can go back and report it."
The player messenger hurriedly said, "Of course not. My village chief's greatest hope is that Xiaobai Village can send troops to fight Batu Village together. Open the embankment and release the river."
Zhan Xiaobai and Jianba looked at each other and chuckled. Mo Xiaofeng sent an envoy to invite the troops.
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "This is not easy to deal with. This kind of war is not good for my Xiaobai Village. I think you'd better go back. We won't ask more about your village and Batu Village."
The messenger said anxiously: "Captain Xiaobai, how can this be unhealthy? The water is first-rate, and the village can continue to obtain river water and fish production. No one knows when this severe drought will end. If you can get one more day of river water, you can support it for one more day."
Jianba raised his legs, took a sip of tea, and said, "To be honest, our Xiaobai Village doesn't like this little river. Once Batu Village is defeated, you Moxiao Village will only lead the heroes. This war is nominally a fight for water shortage, but in fact it is just a regional battle between Batu Village and Moxiao Village. After this war, the biggest winner will be you Moxiao Village. As for other villages participating in the war... Haha, at most you will just follow me to drink some porridge, pick up some food, copper coins and other small gains. What are our Xiaobai Village going to join in the fun?"
He paused and then said, "Take the last Jianding Village as an example. Although it is said to destroy the rebellion of players, it is actually just a cheaper Warring States Village. With the help of the villages, it has eliminated a nearby strong enemy for nothing, expanded its power territories, and made him rise to a domineering warring States Village. If it weren't for the imperial court's order at that time, we wouldn't have sent troops, so that boy would have been spared."
Jianba's words immediately made the player messenger silent and unable to speak. In fact, this player messenger did not understand the mystery very much. When Jianba said this, he immediately woke him up. It turned out that this was the truth behind the chaos.
But no matter what the truth is, he must complete the task and said: "Captain Xiaobai Village and Elder Jianba, even though that is the case, this battle will benefit all villages. I hope your village can send troops. After the matter is completed, my village chief will thank you and will never let you down!" Mo Xiaofeng had already told him personally before that as long as Xiaobai Village can be led to the battle from his own camp, he can give some benefits when necessary.
The messenger from Mo Xiao Village had just finished speaking, and a player messenger from the village was led into the meeting hall. "The messenger from Batu Village asked for a visit."
When the player envoy of Moxiao Village saw it, he suddenly had a headache. Why did the messenger of Batu Village suddenly come? It's so shameless. The player envoy of Moxiao Village showed off the sign symbol of his village and looked at the player who walked in.
When the player envoy of Batu Village saw the players in Moxiao Village, he immediately glared and snorted. Then he said to Zhan Xiaobai: "I have met Boss Xiaobai. Our boss Batu asked me to say hello to you. In addition, I would like to explain the reason for building a dike to Xiaobai. Moxiao Village dug several large ditches into their villages and stored a lot of water, causing the water volume downstream to continue to drop sharply. Our boss couldn't stand it, so he simply blocked the river and built a dike so that they would not waste water resources. Please don't misunderstand that we will make reasonable compensation for the losses of your village."
Zhan Xiaobai and Jianba were immediately surprised.
Damn, there are quite a lot of names inside. It turns out that there is such a thing. After saying this, it seems that Batu Village has a very sufficient reason.
The messenger of Moxiao Village immediately protested fiercely: "Don't just talk nonsense. When did Moxiao Village do that kind of thing? It just attracted a small amount of water to irrigate the farmland."
The messenger of Batu Village sneered: "Yes, then you dug a large deep pit several acres in the village and kept irrigating it. Could it be just to fill a few small shrimps?"
The envoy from Mo Xiao Village said, "That was dug out just to burn tiles to dig dredge. No matter how good my village is, it is better than you blocking the river and breaking the river water!" His words undoubtedly agreed to the secret storage of water in their village.
The envoy of Batu Village ignored him and said to Zhan Xiaobai: "Boss Xiaobai, he Moxiao Village is sandwiched between you and me. My Batu boss means that if you can, we will join forces to bring Moxiao Village. The spoils and territory will be divided equally between you and me."
Jianba's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "This idea... seems to be good. What do you think Xiaobai thinks?"
Zhan Xiaobai nodded slightly.
The messenger of Mo Xiao Village was suddenly covered in cold sweat and was very anxious. The two most powerful villages upstream and downstream attacked each other at the same time... I am afraid that no one can save Mo Xiao Village. The Warring States Village of the Alliance was too far away and could not send a large number of people to support.
He hurriedly said, "Don't, boss Xiaobai, don't listen to his nonsense. Our two villages cooperate to attack Batu Village, which is the best way to get the most profits of the village!"
The envoy of Batu Village looked confident and said calmly: "Oh, is that right? The three major villages in the river, Batu Village is in the upper reaches, Moxiao Village is in the middle, and Xiaobai Village is in the lower reaches. So when I destroyed my Batu Village, the benefit was that you Moxiao Village was completely yours. Boss Xiaobai won't get any benefits, it was completely to help your village rise. But Batu and Xiaobai Village join forces to beat you Moxiao Village, and everyone will share the benefits equally. Boss Xiaobai is a smart person, so he naturally knows what to do to get the greatest benefit."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded with a smile and praised: "Yes, this envoy from Batu Village is really keen and pointed to the point! This envoy from Moxiao Village, what are your opinions?"
The envoy of Batu Village immediately looked proud. While calling Zhan Xiaobai a prize, he looked provocatively at the envoy of Moxiao Village. His expression was obviously saying: Come on, use any tricks.
The messenger of Mo Xiao Village was frightened so much that he was sweating profusely and could not think of a solution. "This...this~! My village..."
