After a careful inspection, Feng Yu calmly frowned and thought. After a moment, she looked at Xin Moge who was also checking the situation. "For the current plan, forcibly blocking the embankment breach is not the solution. The only way is to clear it as soon as possible and dig it out."
One route takes the shortest path around the place blocked by big rocks downstream, and finally connects with the breach, diverting all the river water rushing down from the breach. In this way, even if there are no big rocks downstream,
If we move away in time and fail to dredge it successfully, we can also prevent the river from continuing to rush into the New Capital City and submerge the surrounding towns. Of course, it would be best if the downstream can be dredged and a two-pronged approach will be in place."
Xin Moge nodded, which was exactly what he meant.
Feng Yu watched and saw that Xin Moge agreed, so she felt more confident and immediately asked the secret guard to go downstream to mobilize an additional 10,000 horses to help.
All the prisoners had been building here in the new capital city, so all the tools were naturally ready. They quickly went back to get them and started construction.
The distance from the embankment breach to the place where the downstream is blocked is actually not that far.
This means that it actually does not take long to dig a temporary channel that leads to the place where the downstream is blocked.
With the concerted efforts of tens of thousands of people, this temporary wide channel was successfully dug after a whole day and night.
It is in line with the saying, "No matter how big a project is, it cannot withstand the joint efforts of many people."
As for the area blocked by boulders downstream, although the boulders have not been completely removed, they have been moved almost half way, and half of the river water can now be passed through smoothly, which has reduced a lot of the amount of water that was hit by the breach of the embankment upstream.
Feng Yu was overjoyed. After checking the large excavated channel from beginning to end, she immediately ordered people to dig out the section between the temporary channel and the embankment breach. The water washed down from the embankment breach was directed into the temporarily dug channel.
In that wide channel.
After a long time——
After seeing with her own eyes that the surging water was finally successfully introduced into the temporarily dug wide channel, the big stone in Feng Yu's heart finally fell.
Everyone standing on both sides of the channel watching all this couldn't help but laugh. This channel that was dug in a hurry was covered with their sweat, and some just sat down.
He lay on the ground, too tired to want to get up again.
Xin Moge asked the secret guards to take some of the troops and immediately went to prepare food.

When Feng Yu and Xin Moge returned to Licheng, it was already the afternoon of another day, and the rain still hadn't stopped.
Outside the city, it was always quiet, without any movement, and there were almost no people on the streets washed clean by the heavy rain.
Feng Yu had been tired for nearly two days. Although she didn't go down to dig channels in person like the tens of thousands of people, she definitely didn't take a moment to rest. After all, she had been soaked in heavy rain for nearly two days. Naturally, her body couldn't bear it. Returning
After arriving at the room in the courtyard of Prince Li's Mansion, he asked the maid to prepare hot water for a bath first.
Xin Moge was better than Feng Yu. After changing into dry clothes, he went to the study room of Prince Li's Mansion to see Prince Li, preparing for a quick battle.
As for the tens of thousands of prisoners who had surrendered to Xin Moge's banner, they had already been settled when Xin Moge and Feng Yu returned to Li City. They only had to wait for the weather to clear up and all the storms to pass, and then they could turn to deal with King Li directly.
This forced King Li to surrender. I believe King Li never imagined that the situation would turn out like this in just two days.
