The Fuyang River is also known as the Fushui River. Its source is boiling like the soup in the pot, so it is called Fushui, which originates from the name of Fushui.

The water of the water was the big river in Handan. In ancient times, it was a big river. From the water of the Wuyang River, it could directly reach Leshou from Handan to the Hejian County and county. It merged with the Hutuo River to form the Ziya River, and the Ziya River went to the sea near the mouth of Sancha River. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the water of the water was navigable and reached Leshou. It usually sailed from the front and back of the Jingzhe River to the heavy snow, and could pass for nearly three hundred days.

Although it is not as good as the Yongji Canal, the boats and ships are in a mess, and the grand occasion of thousands of miles of land is still available, hundreds of stone ships can also be loaded in the river.

It has not snowed at this time, and it has been raining heavily since autumn. It is definitely not the dry season. So what the Xia soldiers saw at the top of Yongnian City, the biggest possibility is that the Zhao army blocked water and built a dam upstream to flood Yongnian City.

It was also when Liu Heita chose to defend Yongnian City that he felt that the mud in this city was not conducive to the development of Li Chongjiu's Iron Cavalry, so he defended the city, but he did not expect that the Zhao army would use water attacks in turn.

The terrain of Yongnian City was not high, and the Zhao army began to irrigate water again.

Liu Heita and Ling Jing's worries gradually became a fact. From day to night, the waters of the Fuyang River outside the city were rapidly becoming shallower, and the mudflats more than ten feet long were exposed on both sides of the river.

Liu Heita was furious when he saw this scene and shouted, "Why didn't you come to report me earlier? It's all like this now. I'm afraid that I, Liu Heita, will feed fish and shrimps tomorrow morning."

When the generals saw it, they all bowed their heads. In fact, since the Zhao army built Tushan in the east of the city, the water flow of the Fuyang River has decreased. They did not find it too strange at the beginning. But today they discovered it.

Ling Jingyan said: "The Fuyang River originated from Taihang Mountain. The Zhao army must have blocked the river and built a dam at the height of the water source in the east of the city. It stored water and irrigated the city."

Liu Heita looked at Ling Jing and asked earnestly: "Mr. Ling, can you have a way to defeat the enemy?"

Ling Jing said in a daze: "This..."

When Liu Heita saw Ling Jing stammering, he asked again: "Can there be any ancient examples to find?"

Ling Jingyan said: "When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shang, he once decided to rush to Yecheng by Zhang River and defeated Lu Bu. Yuan Shu also attacked with water, and all of them were victorious."

When Liu Heita heard this, his face changed. This Yecheng is today's Mingzhou and Handan. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang to seize Yecheng. Even if he defeated his strong enemy, he only heard that he had won and had not failed. Could it be that he could not break the water and attack the way?

Ling Jing lowered his head and said, "The land of Handan is full of water, and the country is prospered because of water, and it is also troubled by water. Not only did Cao Cao use water to break through Yecheng, but during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, the Han generals also used water to break through Handan."

Hearing Ling Jing's dejected words, the generals on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Just just now, Ling Jijiu has a lot of military strategies in his heart. He is familiar with the war techniques and memorizes them like a stream. Why can't he remember this?"

Ling Jing stammered and said, "I forgot this, I will know when I go back to read the book."

Liu Heita said, "Please go and see quickly, sir."

Ling Jing hurriedly left. The general beside him said, "The scholar was absurd, so the general, he believed it."

Liu Heita said silently, and soon Ling Jing returned to the east of the city and shouted loudly: "General, have I found a way to break the water?"

Liu Heita was shocked when he heard this. But when he saw a book in Ling Jing's hand, he danced with his hands. Liu Heita said, "Thank you hard. Mr. Ling, how can you break the water and attack?"

Ling Jing said, "There is a saying in the book that you can set up a ship, attack the enemy's dam, and break the door and release the water."

Liu Heita asked, "What is a boat?"

Ling Jingyan said: "The boat is covered with military books. It is a small boat that can carry thirty people, and it is covered with raw cowhide. It can be used as an offensive and defensive."

Ling Jingfu Xu said, "This is a way to prepare water. General, we can choose three hundred highly trained elite soldiers and twenty fast ships. Each two ships are arranged side by side, called Yilin. Each Lin is equipped with thirty elite soldiers, carrying bows, spears, hoes, wearing helmets and armors, riding in the night, rushing out of the city, rushing through the embankment and digging dams."

Liu Heita heard this and said, "This is a wonderful plan. Can there be ships in the city?"

The general on the side said, "There is a ship, but it may be too late to renovate it."

Liu Heita said in a deep voice: "No matter how late it is or how late it is, do it for me immediately."

The general immediately took the order and left.

Ling Jingyan said: "General, we must deal with the water attack method. In addition to preparing for the future, if the Zhao army really breaks the water, we should also prepare early."

Liu Heita said, "Mr. Ling has come to this point, so don't hide it."

Ling Jingyan said: "First of all, we must protect the granary. The granary is the basis for the food rations of 40,000 soldiers and civilians in the city. If the water floods, the grain and rice will not be eaten. Therefore, we must protect the granary first."

Liu Heita nodded and ordered a general to say, "Tell me the order and immediately build a dam around the granary in the city to use it as a water barrier."

Ling Jingyan said: "The second thing is to protect the people in the city. If the water is flooded, they will avoid the high ground."

Liu Heita said, "It's easy, you can just go to the beam of the house."

Ling Jing sighed, knowing that Liu Heita might not be able to take care of it for the time being. The soldiers could still go up to the city wall, and the people would probably be powerless.

Ling Jingyan said: "Third, set up tiles in various places to measure the water level, and dig a shaft in the city to allow the water from high places to flow to the lower places. If necessary, the wall can be chiseled open at the low city wall to drain the water."

After saying that, Ling Jing looked at the generals aloud and said, "This is the method of preparing water and the wisdom of the ancestors. Who said that military books are of no use?"

The Xia army generals were silent on the side.

Liu Heita shouted, "What are you doing while standing there? Why don't you do it as Mr. Ling told me?"

All the generals took the order and left. That night, the chaos in Yongnian City was in chaos. The Zhao army wanted to decide to storm the city of the Yang River, which was leaked out, and the people were all panicked.

The people were holding their homes with their jars and jars all night long, and they swarmed in front of the gate. They cried and begged the fangding to let them go out of the fang and flocked to the high places in the city. The soldiers were also busy. The Xia soldiers ran back and forth on the street, first blocking stones and dams near the general's mansion, and then installing thirty hulls.

After being busy all night until dawn, the Xia army's ships had not yet finished, and it was almost time to complete. The people who were congested in the gates were also waiting for the Xia army soldiers to open the house and release them after dawn.

But at this moment, the soldiers resting in the city suddenly shouted, "Listen, what's the sound?"

When the soldiers heard this, they all raised their ears, but they felt that it was hazy, like the sound of a tide.

"Is it..." The soldiers all felt frightened.

The supervisory general sighed to the sky and said, "Our ship has not been repaired yet, so why don't we give us any chance?"
