Chapter 162 The Embankment
Zhenren Li laughed in silence: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? If he saves Kaifeng a certain fact, why can't he be grateful? If you dig down his heart and dig down his person, then see if Kaifeng is saved?"
The little Taoist shook his head: "I'm afraid there isn't."
"That's right. With him, Kaifeng can be saved. Without him, Kaifeng cannot be saved. Why bother with his will?"
Li Zhenren said leisurely: "If you don't tell the King of Zhou, you are afraid that the King of Zhou and Governor Gao will be restrained by him, and it will be useless to the people in the city. As long as you can save the people in the city, you will be a person outside the country, don't care whether he is independent or not? The Ming Dynasty is extremely corrupt and should change the dynasty. If he can replace him, it will be too late to be happy for the teacher."
"What's more," said Li Zhenren: "With his means, he does not think that King Zhou and Governor Gao can do anything to him. Whether King Zhou or Governor Gao, all authority comes from the Ming Dynasty. And this person already has the will of independence, so how could he take the authority of King Zhou and Governor Gao seriously? He raised the butcher knife and King Zhou still has his life?"
The little Taoist priest had to admit that what the master said made sense.
"After being a teacher in Kaifeng for twenty years, the King of Zhou regarded him as a guest of honor, and never neglected him, and he remembered himself in his heart. The King of Zhou was a royal family and was one with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was about to perish, and the King of Zhou was the first to be the brunt. I saved his life and took this as a way to resolve this cause and effect." Li Zhenren sighed: "The thief must open the seal when he returns, and it should be fast and fast, and he dare not delay at all. However, Governor Gao and King of Zhou defended their lives, and the thieves could not succeed in their attacks. Therefore, they must use vicious means."
He stretched out his hand, and the raindrops fell on his palms, making the coolness penetrated the bones.
He said: "The heavy rain dropped sharply and continued for several days. The water of the river must surge. Disciple, what should you do if you are a thief?"
The little Taoist priest suddenly shuddered: "Break the dike?!"
Li Zhenren said in a stern expression: "Yes, only by breaking the dike can we fight quickly. Once the dike is broken, the water will flow thousands of miles away. Although it is inconvenient for oneself, it is inconvenient for others. If the thief floods Kaifeng, a radius of hundreds of miles apart, it can also stop Ying Yi from blocking and buy time for himself."
Speaking of this, Zhenren Li breathed out: "When my master thought of this, he knew that he could not waste time in Kaifeng. He had to stop Li Chuang. One way to save millions of households in Kaifeng and avoid the disaster of fish and shrimps. The other way to sell Ying Yi to a good face, so that he could plead for the King of Zhou."
Only then did the little Taoist priest realize his master's good intentions.
"I have learned from my fellow disciples that Li Chuang sent his military advisor Niu Jinxing to lead 5,000 people to go first. If what I expected was not bad, the matter of breaking the dike would definitely fall on Niu Jinxing. There are several places along the river in Kaifeng that are most convenient for breaking the dike. I will go and take a look first and try to stop him."
The little Taoist priest said: "Since the master knows the danger of breaking the dike, why not tell the King of Zhou? I just don't talk about Ying Yi's affairs. If the King of Zhou knows it, sending some people will be easier to do it."
Li Zhenren smiled and shook his head: "No. It's just a guess. He can't convince others. Since General Chen left, Kaifeng's troops are shallow and the city is not enough. How can he send someone to listen to my order? The King of Zhou respects me because the army is a person outside the country. It's better for the army to be unrelated to military and political affairs. If he interrupts randomly, it may not be a good thing."
The little Taoist priest was silent.
"Let's go." Li Zhenren shook his pace and sank into mud: "If it was expected, Ying Yi might not have expected the disaster of fish and shrimps here. He is not the only one who fights alone."
The two figures gradually disappeared in the hazy rain.
...
Zhang Shi turned over and got off the horse, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but curse a few words. The rain was drizzling and it really didn't make people happy.
He was steaming hot and seemed to be smoking. After all, he was also a person with extremely strong body, with qi and blood swelling, so he was not afraid of rain, wind and cold.
"How is it going before?"
Zhang Shi touched his face and shook off the water all over his hands.
Ye Bushu said, "Sir, your tail is already attached."
He showed ferociousness on his face and said, "I'm afraid as the lord expected, this bandit soldier was going to release the water!"
Zhang Shi's face darkened and he spat: "You're a dog, these thieves should kill them all!"
Then he took a breath: "Catch up quickly and tell the brothers in front of you to try to hold them up. Never let the thief succeed, otherwise the big thing will be over!"
He said again: "I'll catch up soon, I'll kill them one by one!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Shi's troops did not accept them at night, and they were one man and two horses, which was the fastest. As soon as there was a resolution earlier, they took the lead in exploring the movement.
Sure enough, he found a thief who was invading first. Zhang Shi did not dare to neglect and asked to chase him quickly. He chased him all the way north of Zhengzhou before the tail of the bandit was attached.
After sending the Ye Bushang away, Zhang Shi called two more: "You two bring two brothers to each of you, and each of you, General Zhu and General Zheng, and convey the news here to them."
"Here!"
...
Niu Jinxing brought his men and ran day and night to Kaifeng. He was also cruel. The current situation was not broken, and if Kaifeng was not broken, the future would be worrying.
The continuous rain is indeed not likable. Even Ying Yi’s command is so annoying, let alone the thief?
There were long complaints along the way, Niu Jinxing forced himself to suppress him. When he arrived in the north of Zhengzhou, he could no longer suppress him, so he had to find a place to shelter from the rain to rest first.
But soon, Yebusuo, who was led by Zhang Shi, came to catch up.
He was ordered by Zhang Shi to hold Niu Jinxing, so he started to do it.
Zhang Shi's troops did not accept them at night, and only a hundred people were in the first place. They did not carry heavy firepower and were not easy to attack, so they mainly harassed them. They killed them from time to time, slaughtered a few thieves and retreated, which made Niu Jinxing's troops panic.
Send people to chase after you. If there are fewer people in the sect, there will be no return. If there are too many people in the sect, it will not catch up. It is extremely disgusting.
Niu Jinxing's heart was even more beating. He had already guessed the origin of these people. So he became more and more urgent and wanted to fly to the north of Kaifeng City to open the embankment and complete the task.
But unfortunately, his troops were unwilling to go in a hurry, and now they are trapped in panic, which makes him deeply hate them.
After thinking about it, Niu Jinxing came up with a solution.
He sent out the troops he could control little by little - not to fight Zhang Shi's Ye Wushou, but to quietly walk towards Kaifeng, and finally walk more than a thousand people, leaving more than three thousand here unknown.
Ye Bushang was deceived. When Zhang Shi led more than a thousand Ye Bushang to catch up, he defeated the more than 3,000 people in one go, and found that Niu Jinxing was gone.
Zhang Shi was anxious and angry, and beat Yebuxiang, who was ahead of him for twenty whips, and did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly chased him and chased him all the way to the north of Kaifeng City.
"Thief!"
The rolling Yellow River, above the embankment, under the hazy rain curtain, the bandits gather here, what else can they do? Zhang Shi's eyes were so angry that he roared: "Kill them all!"
More than a thousand people rode their horses and rushed to the front. They heard the sound of fighting. When they saw that there were two people who were dodging among the thieves to stop the thieves from breaking the dam!
"kill!"
