    The Zhang River originates in Bingzhou and is divided into Qing Zhang River and Zhuo Zhang River in the upper reaches. The two rivers merge into the southern part of Jizhou. After converging with the Wei River, it runs eastward into the sea. It is more than 900 miles long and passes through three states and six counties for more than 20 years.  The county is one of the important water systems in the north!

    Zhangshui - The upper reaches of the river have a huge drop, and the lower reaches of the river are silted up. Historically, they have often flooded and caused disasters, and the people of Jizhou have suffered greatly. During the Warring States Period, Ximen Bao took office as the order of Yecheng and took advantage of the opportunity of He Bo to marry a wife to severely punish the local evil forces.  He also personally inspected the water source and led the people to dig twelve ditches, which irrigated thousands of hectares of fertile farmland on both sides of the bank!

    Since then, Yecheng has maintained harvests despite droughts and floods, and there have been no more years of famine. The population has grown, and the treasury has been filled. It has become the most important town in Jizhou. Over time, people only care about the benefits of the Zhangshui River and forget about the harm of the Zhangshui River!

    "Yecheng - with a big river in front, a majestic mountain in the back, the Bohai Sea on the left, and Luliang on the right, it is really the residence of the emperor. The Yuan family used this to create a place for victory, but failed to dominate the world. It is really a loss of virtue!"

    Qingzhou Camp - In the Zhongjun Tent, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, gathering sand to make mountains, digging ditches to make rivers, and kneading clay balls to shape cities He made a Jizhou sand table with undulating mountains and numerous cities in the same position.  Accurate!

    A few years ago, Xiao Yi accompanied Zhen Mi back home to visit relatives. He once lurked into Hebei and made a detailed investigation of the geographical situation of Jizhou. He knew everything about it, especially the defense of Yecheng. He inspected it internally and externally and studied it repeatedly.  Hope to find some loopholes!

    But we have to admit that Yecheng is a high city with deep pools, densely covered with archery towers, and is supported by a guard city. There are no flaws in the defense. As long as there are sufficient troops and no shortage of food and grass, even a million-strong army will have difficulty breaking through this city!

    Then again, there is no invincible army or unbreakable city in the world. Luoyang, Chang'an, Shouchun, Jincheng haven't all the magnificent cities and solid fortresses fallen? And the lifeblood of Ye City,  It lies in Zhangshui!

    After Yuan Shao occupied Hebei, he spent countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build his hometown of Yecheng. In order to be foolproof, he also specially invited the master of Yin and Yang to survey the surrounding geographical situation to see if there was anything wrong. The answer he got was  : "The dragon's veins are lurking, and the emperor's house, if it meets the Lord of destiny, is enough to dominate the world. However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Success is in Zhangshui, and failure is in Zhangshui!"

    The Zhang River is constantly running, irrigating thousands of hectares of fertile land on both sides of the bank, raising countless people, and making Yecheng prosperous. However, for every benefit, there must be a disadvantage. The Zhang River is relatively turbid, carrying a lot of sediment, and the river bed has been rising year after year.  , posing a threat to Yecheng. Once it rains heavily and the embankments on both sides collapse, the consequences will be disastrous!

    Therefore, when the city of Ye was built, the foundation was deliberately raised to form a terrain with a high center and low surroundings, which could prevent flooding and facilitate the city's defense. It was killing two birds with one stone!

    Yuan Shao also mobilized a large number of craftsmen and civilians to repair the Zhangshui embankment and 12 diversion canals. He also set up a "river patrol camp" to patrol the water conditions day and night to ensure that nothing went wrong!

    When Yuan Shao was hegemonic, his eldest son Yuan Tan was already an adult. He was involved in major military events and knew the dangers of floods. Therefore, he set up camp on the upper reaches of the Zhang River, close to the river embankment. One was to sneak attack on Cao's rear, echoing Yecheng; the other was to watch.  Guarding the dike to prevent others from causing damage is considered a good intention!

    Yuan Shang was still young at that time and did not know these situations, so he had no awareness of waterproofing. After killing his eldest brother Yuan Tan, he also transferred Qingzhou troops, which was equivalent to pulling out a safety bolt. In addition, Jizhou had not been flooded for a century, and civil servants  The generals were also paralyzed, and no one paid attention to Zhangshui!

    What Xiao Yi wants to do now is to "use water instead of troops to conquer Yecheng" and complete the Northern Expedition. However, this is easy to say but very difficult to do, and there are two major difficulties:

    First: the terrain of southern Jizhou is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. Yecheng is located on the north bank of Zhangshui River, and Cao Jun is stationed on the south bank. After digging the dam, the water flow cannot control the direction. Once it rushes to the south, Yuan Jun is safe, and Cao Jun can  That¡¯s a disaster!

    Xiao Yi secretly sent people back to the camp and stationed Cao's troops on high hills and hillsides as a precaution, for fear of drowning his own people, but how to control the water flow still failed to solve the problem?

    Secondly, Jizhou is the largest state in the world with thousands of miles of fertile fields and millions of households. Once a torrential flood is released, how many people will drown? Xiao Yi just wants to conquer Yecheng and doesn't want to harm innocent people!

    To be more precise, what Xiao Yi wanted to drown was only the Wuwan, Xianbei, and Liaodong troops outside the city. As for the Han people inside the city, he didn't want to harm any of them, so he had to control the water flow and block it in time.  Live in the gap!

    " Xiao Yi is not an all-rounder, nor does he have a golden finger. Planning the court and fighting on the battlefield is no problem, but digging ditches is not enough. He must find a water conservancy expert to coordinate the use of water to replace troops, and he happens to have one!?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "My subordinates are paying homage to Grand Sima. They summoned him urgently late at night. What orders do you have?"

    A middle-aged man walked into the big tent, with a big head, small eyes, and a flat nose his appearance was very wretched, his clothes were even more sloppy, and he smelled heavily of alcohol. He was none other than Ding Fei, one of the military chiefs!

    Ding Fei, whose courtesy name is Wenhou, is from Qiao County, Peiguo, and is also a fellow countryman of Cao Cao. He is smart and well-rounded. He once held the title of Xiaolian. He is also a water conservancy expert. He has some skills in river distribution and dam construction!

    After defecting to Cao Ying, he was appointed as the "Diannong Xiaowei". He specialized in managing military and civilian villages, reclaiming wasteland, and building water conservancy projects. He achieved great success and was commended by the court. Unfortunately, no one is perfect. Ding  Fei also has two shortcomings. One is that he is greedy for drinking and ruins things, and the other is that he loves to take advantage of others!

    During the management of the military camp, Ding Fei's old illness relapsed. He secretly exchanged a sick cow of his own for the government's strong cow. It was considered as using the public for personal gain. In the end, his enemies reported him. It was just a cow, so it was not a big deal.  , it happened that Prime Minister Cao Cao was rectifying the officialdom, and when his fellow countrymen broke the law, he couldn't let it go!

    As a result, Ding Fei was dismissed from office, imprisoned in the imperial prison, and succeeded in getting the "iron rice bowl". At the same time, Xiao Yi was also imprisoned for bullying the royal family and violating official integrity.  We live next to each other and like to drink. We gradually got to know each other and became good friends!

    After Xiao Yi was released from prison, he regained control of the army. He believed that Ding Fei was a talent who would be of great use in the future, so he used some special means to get him out of the prison and appointed him as the military chief. He treated him in peacetime.  Very generous, and we often drink some wine together!

    "The Northern Expedition has reached a critical juncture. The city of Ye will not be broken for a day, and the fighting will not be extinguished. However, the enemy is so fierce that it is difficult to win with force. I want to use water instead of troops to eliminate Wuwan, Xianbei, and Liaodong.  The troops, unfortunately encountered some difficulties, please come here tonight"

    Xiao Yi pointed at the sand table, describing his big plan and the two difficulties he encountered, and then brought out a jar of fine wine and a box of horseshoe gold. If he wants the old greedy cat to contribute, he must give him some benefits!

    "This subordinate was waiting for a crime, but with the help of the Grand Sima, he started to be a new man. He must do his best to repay the kindness of knowing and meeting him. The Zhang River is fast and rushing. It is not easy to guide the direction of the water.  Please remember"

    Ding Fei spoke passionately and looked grateful. At the same time, he picked up the wine and took a big sip. He also pulled boxes of gold over and sat directly under his butt. His old habits of drinking and greed for money have not changed at all!

    But, experts are experts. When it comes to river conditions and digging embankments to divert water, they are quite powerful. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a solution:

    The first is to control the direction of the water flow. According to Ding Fei¡¯s knowledge, when Ximen Bao was in charge of Ye, he dug a canal from the upper reaches of Zhang River to the west gate of Ye City. It was used to transport goods. It was very convenient and used.  For hundreds of years!

    By the early Eastern Han Dynasty, with the accumulation of silt and geographical changes, the canal gradually became difficult to navigate. In order to transport goods, people re-excavated a canal downstream of Zhangshui River. The old canal was completely abandoned, leaving only a dry ditch!

    When Ding Fei was young, he once traveled around the world to check the trends of mountains, rivers, and rivers. He also came to the Yecheng area. According to ancient books, he found the old canal. It was buried under the wind and sand and was no longer in shape, but the traces were vague.  visible!

    It rains heavily and the water flows rapidly. As long as the nearby dams are dug and the floods hit the mud, we can go straight to Yecheng along the old canal road without having to worry about the water flowing back. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Wuwan, Xianbei, and Liaodong.  , all become food for fish and turtles!

    The second is to control the flow of the flood, so that it only floods the foreign military camps and does not harm the Han people. This is too difficult to handle. Water and fire are always ruthless. How can it be controlled by human power, unless you have a clairvoyant eye and predict the weather!

    Floods spread rapidly, and it is difficult to check the water conditions. Unless you have a pair of clairvoyance, look down at the ground from a high altitude, and judge when to seal the gap based on the flooding situation. If you start early, it will be difficult to flood the enemy camp. If you start late,  Yecheng is no longer safe!

    As for the time to dig the embankment, just when the sun is about to clear up, the heavy rain continues and the river is overflowing. Take advantage of the situation to release the water to destroy the enemy; when the heavy rain stops, the river level drops, just in time to seal the gap to prevent it from getting out of hand. With the right timing,  It has to be just right!

    The problem is, people are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and the sky is unpredictable. Who has the ability to predict the clouds and sunshine? Who has the clairvoyance to check the changes in water potential? If the estimate is wrong, the gap will not be blocked, and the consequences will be  Unthinkable!

    "Haha! - It is indeed difficult to have a thousand-mile divine eye and predict cloudy and sunny weather, but I can just do it. Using water instead of soldiers, this plan can be successful!"

    After listening to Ding Fei's story, Xiao Yi thought about it briefly and sneered. He also went to college. He knows astronomy, geography, and a lot of natural knowledge. This time he can apply what he learned!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It's difficult to do, but I can just do it. Using water instead of soldiers, this plan can work!  "
