"Badi, you, what do you mean? The warriors have already paid so many casualties, we, we can't just let this bastard Li Yuanqing go, right? I can't accept this. Hmph---! I must

I have to cut off Li Yuanqing's bird head with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Mang Gurtai looked at Huang Taiji in disbelief.

He really couldn't imagine that his eighth brother, who was so ambitious, would actually say such depressing words, so he couldn't help but snorted and turned away angrily.

Daishan was also stunned.

Will Laoba give up like this?

Leaving aside the fact that after returning to Shenyang, he must face the old slave's accusations, which will affect his status in the old slave's heart. Most of the people who stayed in the camp before were his slaves under Zhengbai Banner.

Even if the lives of these slaves are worthless, can Lao Ba bear this tone?

Even if he could bear this tone, how could he explain to the families of these slaves? How could he convince the public?

"Eighth brother, Li Yuanqing has become a powerful force. Even if we pay a certain price, we will definitely get rid of him. Otherwise, there will never be peace in the land of Liaonan, which is not good for the overall situation."

Daishan slowly exhaled a breath and looked at Huang Taiji beside him.

Huang Taiji nodded lightly, "We were too relaxed about Liaonan before. This guy came out quietly. This time, we must remove it and pull out this nail."

Mang Gurtai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, "Eighth brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Daishan also looked at Huang Taiji.

Although his eighth brother looks simple and honest, he is actually very resourceful. He is so calm, so he must have some calculations in his heart.

Huang Taiji suddenly smiled coldly, "Is there any way? It's actually very simple."

As he spoke, his teeth creaked loudly, and his voice was as cold as the ice on the top of Changbai Mountain, "Let this Fuzhou City be buried underground forever."

Daishan was stunned, but he understood Huang Taiji's meaning for a moment. His eyes lit up, but his spine felt a little chilly. This old man has such a vicious heart.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving method at this time, and it can never cause future troubles.

Mang Gurtai didn't react for a moment and said hurriedly: "Eighth brother, what on earth did you do to bury Fuzhou City underground?"

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Fifth brother, let's go back to camp first. Have something to eat and start working."

…………

Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and there was still not much movement on the part of Houjin. However, the patrol intensity was greatly increased. There were a large number of rangers in the four gates of Fuzhou. On the Ming army's side, even elite messengers

It's also hard to get out.

As a result, Fuzhou was unable to communicate with the outside world and seemed to have become an isolated city.

After that, Jin delayed his attack on the city, and the atmosphere in the city began to become a little irritable.

Mainly Zhang Pan's soldiers wanted to take revenge on the Hou Jin Army in the shortest possible time.

Their eager mood also began to infect the soldiers of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, causing this mood to gradually ferment and spread.

In the afternoon, at the top of Ximen City, Chen Zhong finally found an excuse to be alone with Li Yuanqing.

After sending his soldiers to stand guard in the distance, Chen Zhong took Li Yuanqing to a crenel and whispered: "Yuan Qing, it's not okay to continue like this. If it stays like this, the men's minds will be distracted. This old man

Zhang, you really shouldn’t have let him come to Fuzhou.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, it's understandable that they are eager for revenge. From another perspective, this may not be a bad thing."

Chen Zhong was stunned, "Yuan Qing, are you crazy? If Houjin doesn't attack the city, do we have to go out and fight with them in the field? You have to know that they still have nearly 50 Niulu, which is less than ten thousand people. Let's just do this

How is it possible to defeat them by ordering troops?"

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Brother, we really can't do it. However, I guess they should take action soon. Have you noticed that the water levels of the rivers in front have dropped a lot in the past few days."

"What?"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, unable to keep up with Li Yuanqing's jumping thoughts, but after a moment, he also reacted and quickly looked towards the river not far away from the west gate.

Spring has begun at this time, the ice has thawed, and everything is recovering. Fuzhou is close to the seaside. This year is not too dry, and there have been two light rains.

Logically speaking, this is about to enter the spring flood season, and the river water should be rising, but the river water in front of us is obviously lacking.

Although this was very subtle and difficult to detect without looking carefully, after hearing Li Yuanqing point it out, Chen Zhong was keenly aware of the anomaly in it through the surface of the river bank.

For a moment, his heart pounded so hard that he broke out in cold sweat. He was shocked and said: "Yuan Qing, you, you mean, the stupid Huang Taiji wants to flood Fuzhou City?"

Li Yuanqing nodded vigorously, "Eight~Nine are inseparable. He wants to capture Fuzhou City at the minimum cost, so this should be the best way."

In fact, when the Changsheng Battalion entered Fuzhou last summer, Li Yuanqing had thought of flooding Fuzhou City and uprooting Fuzhou, the post-Jin Dynasty's stronghold in southern Liaoning.

But at that time, there were still tens of thousands of Han people in Fuzhou City, and Li Yuanqing was not able to approach the upper reaches of the Shah River to store water, so he gave up this idea.

The terrain of Fuzhou City is flat, surrounded by dense rivers and abundant water systems. It is not far from the Shahe River in southern Liaoning. These dense rivers intertwine and converge, and eventually flow to the mouth of the Beixinkou River and into the sea.

If Huang Taiji impounded water in the upper reaches of the Shah River, it would not require much effort to artificially create a huge flood.

"Yuan Qing, this, this, what should we do? If the flood comes, how can we resist it?" Chen Zhong was already a little confused.

Even though he is now a world-famous warrior, due to the level of science and technology and culture at this time, he is completely powerless against such horrific things as floods.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the soil will cover them up. He has a good plan, and we also have bridges and ladders. Who is more beneficial to this flood, I am afraid, it is still between two."

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was so calm, Chen Zhong felt relieved and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, you are smart. If you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly. My brother is panicking."

Li Yuanqing smiled and pointed to the southeast, "Brother, the Shahe River is to the southeast of us. If Huang Taiji wants to store water, he must gather water from the Shahe River. And the terrain to the east of Fuzhou is bumpy and not as flat as imagined. He must

There is a lot of preparation work to be done. Let’s go and talk while we walk.”

Li Yuanqing said, taking the lead to walk to the east.

Chen Zhong hurriedly followed.

By the time the two of them reached the east city wall, Li Yuanqing had already carefully described his considerations to Chen Zhong.

At this time, seeing the real scene of the east gate, Chen Zhong reacted immediately, his eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Yuan Qing, wonderful, wonderful. However, Huang Taiji's food and salary should not be much, at most it will not exceed

On the 10th, he will definitely take action soon. We must speed up. This flood is not a joke after all."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to be too anxious about this. I have already prepared for this. Have you forgotten what Xu Heizi does?"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react for a moment and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Yuan Qing, hey. I'll go take a look when we start tonight."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Let's go back to eat first and get those gentlemen settled first."

Chen Zhong gained confidence and was in a good mood. He patted his chest and promised, "Yuan Qing, don't worry. I'll take care of them tonight."

…………

In the evening, Zhang Qiliang and Zhang Pan had a drink with Wei Liang, briefly analyzed the current combat situation, and then everyone went to rest.

For Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did a good job in this Fuzhou strategy. Not only did they have more than 1,000 heads of real slaves, but also nearly 000 heads of various types of Tatars. Fuzhou City

It is also impregnable.

If the situation continues to develop like this, the achievements of the four of them are already certain - there is no escape at all.

Although Zhang Pan had a lot of anger and resentment, at this time, with Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang here, he could not interfere too much in Fuzhou affairs, so he had to drink to relieve his boredom. Tonight, he was hungover again.

Less than half an hour after returning to the tent to rest, Chen Zhong came over. He had already changed into his soldier's uniform and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, let's go and have a look at the Ximen fortifications."

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to rest for a while, but it was almost time now, so he smiled and said: "Let's go."

Chen Zhong pretended to be a soldier and followed Li Yuanqing. A dozen people quickly arrived at a dilapidated house at the base of the west gate wall.

Because of the strengthening of the city's defense, the roofs of the residential buildings in the city have been removed, such as the north gate, east gate, and south gate. Those houses close to the city wall, let alone the roofs, even the brick walls, are basically

It was dismantled.

However, Ximen was not Hou Jin's main attack direction, and Hou Jin's army had never deployed its main force here. Relatively speaking, the residential buildings here were quite neat.

It has been more than a month since entering Fuzhou, and Xu Heizi's 3000 Corps has been stationed at Ximen.

Because of the overall situation, Chen Zhong focused his attention here for the first time.

At this time, the residence was surrounded by the camp of the 1,000 Corps. It looked like nothing strange, but when he actually walked inside, Chen Zhong discovered that there was something special inside.

At some point, a large space had been dug underneath, with crisscrossing channels.

Chen Zhong said in disbelief: "Yuan Qing, you, you are..."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, do you still remember? How we escaped from Zhenjiang back then."

Chen Zhong was stunned and recalled that in Zhenjiang, if Li Yuanqing hadn't dug the tunnel in advance, he might have been buried in Zhenjiang like Wang Fu and You Jinghe.

"Yuan Qing, you..." Chen Zhong didn't know how to express his feelings for a moment.

"Brother, as the ancients said, a cunning rabbit has three holes, let alone us brothers?"

Li Yuanqing looked into Chen Zhong's eyes and said, "Brother, it's not easy for us brothers to reach this point. In everything, it's best to leave a way out for ourselves. We are no longer alone."

Chen Zhong nodded heavily, "Yuan Qing, having a brother like you is a blessing that I, Chen Zhong, have cultivated in my eight lifetimes. If it weren't for you, when I was in Zhenjiang, I'm afraid my brother would have..."

Before Chen Zhong could finish speaking, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to stop him, "Brother, I, Li Yuanqing, have been lonely since I was a child. In my heart, you are my biological eldest brother. Now that we have a strong army, how can we say depressing words? Let's go, brother, let's go first

Go and see the fortifications.”

Chen Zhong naturally understood what Li Yuanqing meant and nodded heavily, "Let's go, Yuan Qing, let's go see the fortifications first."

As he spoke, he hugged Li Yuanqing's shoulders tightly, and together with Li Yuanqing, they got into the entrance of the tunnel.
