Gao Lu said respectfully: "The old minister knows that he can't hide anything from His Majesty. However, it's really uncomfortable to hide this in his heart. The old minister must say it."

He pointed around casually: "Your Majesty, look around, why can't you see any big trees and stones in the dozen miles around the North Mountain? Isn't that very strange?"

Tuoba Hong looked around and found that the North Mountain was known as a mountain, but it was bare everywhere. It was midsummer and the season of lush grass and trees. How could this be?

He was shocked: "Did the Southern Dynasty sent people to move all the big trees and stones?"

"Yes. The old minister went to inspect the surrounding environment in the past few days and found that the big trees everywhere had been cut off. What I was worried about was that they built a dam in the lower reaches of the Huai River."

"Why do they build a dam?"

"Your Majesty, this is a profound meaning. Now is the midsummer, and the Huaihe River flows the most. You think that once this dam is built, the water in the Huaihe River cannot be discharged, and it will inevitably flow backwards and the water level will rise. At that time, the Shouyang we snatched will become an isolated island, the North Mountain will become a river bank, and the low-lying places in the middle will become paddy fields. At this time, wouldn't we be divided into two and each one of them be defeated??"

Tuoba Hong was shocked.

He lowered his head, but saw that the grass fields around him were filled with water. Because it had been raining for several days in a row, the weather was clear after the rain. He thought it was due to the heavy rain, but when he looked closely, he would not raise so much water level.

Sure enough, that night, the water in the grass fields completely submerged the grass.

Two days later, the garrison land became Zhaobandi, and five days later, the low-lying land in Beishan became a lake. In less than half a month, the lake surface became a big river, almost the same as the Huai River, sea and sky, and there was no land separation.

The tall Shouyang City has completely become an isolated island, and the base camp Beishan just happened to become a river bank.
