That night, Xiao Yuan had dinner with Gu Xue at her place.
She served him some food, which was his favorite.
He also served her some food, which was also her favorite.
Almost coincidentally, the two of them touched their chopsticks and smiled at each other.
After Gu Xue put the dishes into Xiao Yuan's bowl, she asked warmly: "Would you like some wine, husband?"
"Okay." Xiao Yuan nodded.
After Gu Xue filled a glass for him, he also picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
"What are you doing, drinking in such a hurry?"
"With Madam, the wine tastes better, haha." Xiao Yuan smiled heartily, and at the same time put some food for Gu Xue: "Come, Madam, eat some food."
"You are the only one who can say it!" Gu Xuejiao rolled her eyes at him.
When the two of them are together, they are like today's lovers, with their own love stories to talk about.
While chatting, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes I think of how a piece of steamed bun or a piece of weed could save a person's life. When we attacked Xirong, our Qin army soldiers all fought on grass. How great it was." It’s really not easy for Qin to get to where it is today.”
"In the Qin Dynasty, the people had no food to eat, no clothes to keep warm, and they were in mourning everywhere. Today, although officials from various places have reported that the local government is excellent, I know that many of them are doing it for so-called political achievements. ."
"As Liu Changqing said, it is the king's fault that he cannot understand the sentiments of the people."
At this point, Xiao Yuan seemed a little angry and said: "But this person is extremely pedantic and smells like a scholar! He has been admonished so many times without caring about the king's face. If he finds an opportunity, he must be punished. No!"
Hearing this, Gu Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "My husband is the king, Master Liu is my minister. Why do you, the king and his ministers, seem to be at odds with each other?"
"If you don't show him some color! Where is the majesty of this king, and how can I govern him?" Xiao Yuan said.
"Yes, yes, the husband has his own thoughts, but Mr. Liu is loyal, so why should he be guilty?" Gu Xue said.
Xiao Yuandao: "Don't wait for me to grab his pigtails! Otherwise, he will look good!"
"Okay, okay." Seeing him suddenly acting childish, Gu Xue felt amused.
She smiled lightly, and was gentle and touching. As a wife, she was virtuous enough, and as the Princess of Qin, she was also virtuous enough.
More than ten days later, on the front line of Puyang.
As a monarch, Xiao Yuan was in the capital and supported the war with all his strength. However, the criticism in the court and the impeachment of the ministers still spread to some extent in the army.
On this day, when all the generals were discussing the war, Goldman clasped his fists and said, "Commander Su, the war has been going on for a long time. I have heard that many ministers have been impeached in the court. Under the pressure of the ministers, if the king stops the war, then Our army will retreat to Shanyuguan and all our previous efforts will be wasted."
"Don't panic." Su Yi said calmly: "Who is the king? He is a wise king. He must know that the war is not easy and cannot be done in the short term. He will definitely withstand the pressure of the ministers. We must believe in the king."
"But..." Goldman Sachs wanted to say something else.
Su Yi raised his hand to interrupt him, then looked around and said seriously: "We are all soldiers. We don't care about politics and we can't control it. As soldiers, we should carry out the king's highest order. The king said to attack Jin. Our army will only focus on attacking Jin! Ignore the rest!"
"But Commander Su, having said that, our army has really done nothing in attacking Jin and attacking Jin till now. No wonder the court is criticizing it." Another partial general said.
"Yes, Su Shuai, there are some rumors among the soldiers below..."
"Stop arguing." Su Yi frowned slightly.
Everyone shut up one after another. He glanced at everyone again and said directly: "That's it for today. Let's go back to our respective departments!"
"Alas!" All the generals sighed together again, reluctantly saluted and left.
Next, the Qin and Jin armies remained stationary as before.
Su Yi still went to Shekou Mountain every now and then to observe the terrain.
At the same time, in order to prevent the leakage of important military information, he also began to secretly order soldiers to dig mountains and dig canals, build dams to block water, and connect them to a nearby large lake.
On this day, he personally went to the excavation site to inspect.
The person in charge of this matter was none other than Lin Chu, the head of military intelligence. After seeing Su Yi, he quickly came over and saluted, "Commander Su."
"Is everything done?" Su Yi asked directly.
"According to the detailed terrain map provided by Su Shuai, our soldiers have dug day and night to complete the water diversion and damming to store water. As soon as the gate is opened here, the water will flow down and hit the Jin army's defense line."
"Okay." Su Yi's eyes flashed. After wandering carefully at the embankment for a while, he shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work. The water is not strong enough. We still need to wait for a heavy rain."
"There should be no problem with this. According to the intelligence our army has, Puyang area has frequent thunderstorms every summer," Lin Chu said.
"Yes." Su Yi nodded: "Summer is the rainiest season. I have been waiting for more than eight months since last year."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chu again and said seriously: "The military situation here must not be known to the Jin army, otherwise, all the previous efforts will be wasted."
"The general understands that the nearby area has been heavily fortified, and it is impossible for the Jin army to find out what is going on here."
After more than a month, summer has arrived.
Yesterday it was a sunny day, but today there were suddenly dark clouds.
Under the sweltering heat, the depressed people could not breathe.
Su Yi was standing in front of the military tent with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
Lightning tore through the sky, followed immediately by thunder.
Amidst the rolling thunder, it didn't take long for the heavy rain to pour down.
"Prepare for October, this day has finally come..." Su Yi murmured as he let the heavy rain pour on him.
And this heavy rain directly covered several counties, from the Shanyuguan area of Qin State to Yiyang and then Puyang. It rained for two days and nights.
After heavy rains, rivers in various places swelled, and the original trails collapsed in many places.
"Report"
In the Chinese army's tent, a soldier hurried in, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said:
"Come to Commander Su, due to heavy rains, our army's original grain roads were cut off and collapsed in many places. The grain transport trucks were unable to move and were temporarily blocked."
Hearing this, all the generals in the tent panicked.
But Su Yi looked up and smiled and said: "Okay, this heavy rain is a good thing! I know it, you can go down."
"Huh?" The soldier was a little confused.
Su Yi waved his hand directly.
Seeing this, the soldier was puzzled, but he still saluted and said: "My subordinates, please retire!"
After he left, all the generals couldn't help it. They thought that the food route was temporarily cut off and the supplies could not reach the military camp in time. What was there to be happy about?
However, Su Yi didn't wait for people to speak. He looked around and said confidently:
"Destroy the enemy today!"
