Li Wu told Li Bingchang about his plan as it was, Li Bingchang was shocked after listening to Li Wu's plan, and Li Bingchang persuaded Li Wu: "Second brother, isn't it too ruthless for us to do this, once it is implemented, it will be a big disaster."
"Disaster, brother, this is the battlefield, what we need is victory, they are my enemies.
Li Bingchang finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, just do as you say." ” "There are a lot of dreams in the night, big brother, let's act tonight."
Li Wu said to Li Bingchang.
Li Bingchang said differently: "Tonight, isn't the time a little tight, our army has just been defeated, do you want the army to rest." ” "It's too late, the sooner this kind of thing happens, the better."
Li Wu explained to Li Bingchang: "If we act tonight, even if we kill Yiwen Zhide, he can't think of it." ” "Okay, just do it, I'll go and gather the army."
Li Bingchang finally made up his mind and said.
As soon as Li Bingchang's words fell, a guard came in and reported: "Your Royal Highness, there are a few generals of the Boliao Army outside who want to see you. ” Li Bingchang and Li Wu glanced at each other, and Li Bingchang then ordered: "Let them in."
After the guards left, several generals of the Boliao army walked in, and the general led by Li Bingchang knew that this person was rescued by Li Bingchang from the Goryeo army during the day, and Li Bingchang asked several people: "Generals, why did you come to find my two brothers?"
The leader of the generals immediately replied: "Qi Qi two highnesses, the last general and others want to lead the brothers of the Boliao army to join the two highnesses. ” Li Bingchang smiled and said, "Aren't you under the command of my two brothers?"
The leader of the general immediately explained: "Your Royal Highness, we want to join the Xia army, and we don't want to be the Boliao army anymore. ” "Why is that?"
Li Wu asked him.
"The two highnesses are benevolent and righteous, unlike Xiao Jinghuan, who slipped away by himself as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, such a ruthless and unrighteous commander is not worthy of our brothers' lives for them."
The leader said to Li Wu.
Li Wu walked up to this person, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be the soldiers of the Xia Army, go back and tell the brothers to prepare for a big operation in a while." ” "Yes, the last general commands" After the departure of several generals who came to surrender, Li Bingchang asked Li Wu: "Do you think they are sincere?"
"Whether they're sincere or not, we're going to accept it now."
Li Wu said to Li Bingchang; "Now we are short of troops, and besides, these people will be in our hands sooner or later, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to get off the donkey."
"That's all it can be."
Li Bingchang smiled and said; "Scatter these soldiers into our army, and all the officers and generals will be under your command."
"Just know that throw me the drudgery, are you my own brother," Li Wu said with a smile.
In the second half of the night, Li Bingchang and Li Wu led 8,000 cavalry soldiers to secretly march westward and arrived at the Datong River north of Goryeo Xijing, and Li Wu's plan officially began; In order to prevent and control the Datong River breach, the Goryeo court will build a river embankment every year, and now the river embankment guessed at the foot of Li Wu has just been built this year.
Li Wu said to Li Bingchang and the generals around him: "Tell the brothers, don't dig all the embankments, just dig the embankments parallel to the surface of the river." ” Li Bingchang didn't quite understand, but he was embarrassed to ask, and at this time, a general couldn't help but ask: "Second Highness, why don't we dig up all the embankments, how cool it is for the river to rush directly to Xijing City at that time."
"It's cool, but have you ever thought about these brothers," Li Wu said reprimanding the general; "Once the embankment breaks, none of us will be able to escape, and even if the whole of Goryeo is flooded, what is the use, it's just a pig's brain, I don't know how to use my brain."
"The last will be dull."
The general pleaded guilty to Li Wu; "But Your Highness, if we don't dig up all the embankments, how can this flood Xijing?"
Li Wu glanced at Li Bingchang, and said with a very good face: "This is the mastery of this king, we only need to dig half of the embankment, the water of the embankment is naturally not diffuse, but when it is ten o'clock at dawn, the sea water will rise, and then the sea water will be poured through the mouth of the Datong River, and the water surface of the Datong River will rise, and then the river will naturally overflow the embankment, and under the continuous blow and erosion of the river, the embankment will begin to collapse little by little, once there is a gap, the entire embankment will be directly washed down."
After listening to this, the general continued to ask Li Wu: "Your Highness, you know so much, why does the sea water backfill?"
Li Wu couldn't answer, so he pretended to reprimand the general and said, "You kid has so many questions, hurry up and work."
"Yes, yes, yes, the last general will retire" The general ran away.
"You kid, these evil ways of the outer door that you learned there," Li Bingchang asked Li Wuqian with a smile after listening to it.
Li Wu scratched his head and said with a smile: "I also heard my father mention it once, and I have observed it in the past few days, and this is indeed the case, we don't have a sea in the Great Xia Kingdom, I really don't know where my father knows these things." ” Li Bingchang just smiled and didn't say anything more, as if he left with a lot of concern.
Under the leadership of Li Bingchang and Li Wu, more than 8,000 soldiers drove for two hours, and finally dug a large hole in the barrage that was eight miles long, and some places began to slowly seep water because they were dug too deep. ” The reason why Li Wu chose to evacuate in advance was because he had to leave enough time for the army to move to a safe high ground, and the nearest piece of high ground on the river embankment was also fifty miles away, under the leadership of Li Wu, the Xia cavalry withdrew to this high ground, this is a hilly area, the hill is not very high, that is, thirty or forty meters, this hill is very large, and it is more than enough to garrison eight thousand cavalry, before coming, Li Wu ordered that all the grain and grass brought from the north bank were transported here.
It can be said that Li Wujiang has prepared everything, after Li Bingchang and Li Wu led the army to leave for nearly an hour, the water level of the Datong River began to rise, at first it was still slowly rising, but it didn't take long for the river to still beat the embankment angrily, because the embankment has been half taken out by the Xia army, the upper embankment has already turned into muddy water under the invasion of the river, and it has long been unable to withstand the beating of the waves, this faction does not matter, immediately a river embankment burst, countless rivers began to surge here.
In addition, the topography of Xijing is high in the north and low in the south, the river water breaks the embankment and naturally flows to the low-lying places, so the river becomes a flood, and the gap is still expanding under the impact of the flood, and the "rumbling" flood is like a galloping horse, like a giant beast that breaks out of the cage is constantly devouring everything, fields, villages, livestock, people and so on can not escape its bloody mouth.
