The second prince interrupted him: "Why did you say this to General Xiang?? We occupy two highlands in the north and south. How can the East Lake in the north pass through the middle and cut us off?? Even if he can take a detour and reach the middle by surprise, but
, when we arrive, we will swoop down and attack from both sides. Wouldn’t the army in the North Yandong Pool be completely defeated? The North Yandong Pool is so powerful, how could he make such a move?"
Other generals also said: "This is impossible, no one would be stupid enough to do this. [26nbsp;]"
Xiang Wuji said nothing more.
The emperor ordered everyone to disperse and prepare to prepare for the battle.
In the evening of the same day, the emperor summoned Xiang Wuji, Jiang Shilang and others to accompany him to inspect the camp.
Along the way, the monarch and his ministers chatted casually about some situations. On the way back, the emperor suddenly said: "Xiang Wuji, are you unfinished today?"
Xiang Wuji said respectfully: "I know that I can hide nothing from Your Majesty. However, I hide these words deep in my heart and it is really uncomfortable. I must say it."
He pointed around casually: "Your Majesty, look around. Why can't you see any big trees or rocks for more than ten miles around Beishan? Isn't this strange?"
The emperor looked around, and sure enough, this North Mountain was called a mountain, but everywhere was bare. It was midsummer, the season of lush vegetation, how could it be like this?
He was surprised: "Did Beiyan Dongchi send people to remove all the big trees and rocks?"
"Yes. I personally inspected the surrounding environment in the past few days and found that big trees everywhere have been cut down. What I'm worried about is that they built a dam on the lower reaches of the river."
"Why did they build the dam?"
"Your Majesty, this has profound meaning. It is midsummer now, when the river flow is at its maximum. Do you think that once the dam is built, the river water will not be able to drain, but will flow back and the water level will rise. When the time comes, we will snatch
Shuofeng City will become an isolated island, Beishan will become a river bank, and the low-lying areas in the middle will become paddy fields. At this time, wouldn't it be possible to divide us into two and defeat each one??"
The emperor was shocked.
He lowered his head and saw that the surrounding grass fields were full of water. Because it had rained heavily for several days in a row recently, and the sky cleared up after the rain, he thought it was because of the heavy rain, but when he looked carefully, he found that no matter how heavy the rain was, it would not be the same.
Raising the water level so much.
Sure enough, that night, the water in the grass field completely submerged the grass.
