    In the early morning of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, when the sky was twilight, the guards sent by Kang Mazi to the north bank of Hongze Lake to investigate the situation returned to the Xiba Camp, which also confirmed the truth guessed by Kang Mazi and Zhou Peigong. On the night of the third day of the fifth lunar month,  The Fat Man Army actually blew up the dam directly north of Hongze Lake and diverted the floodwater to the south of Taoyuan County, Huai'an Prefecture, which is sparsely populated. Now the south of Taoyuan County is a piece of Zeguo, with endless water, and there is a possibility of returning to the old path of the Yellow River. Hongze Lake  A large opening more than three miles wide was also washed out in the north, and the water level dropped rapidly, and it has dropped at least nearly eight feet so far.

    As the bad news continued, Kang Mazi delivered an order with a pockmarked face, ordering the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le to go northward at full speed, and lure the main force of the fat army into the yellow flood zone as soon as possible, trying to use the water of Hongze Lake that had not yet retreated to slow down the pursuit of the fat army.  In the middle of the day, another bad news came from Taoyuan County. When the sky was just dawn, the Fatty Army blasted the northwest embankment of Hongze Lake to divert the flood water, diverting the water from Hongze Lake to the prefecture of Sizhou, Anhui!

    Although the population in that area is much denser than that in the south of Taoyuan County, and there are still two market towns, Bancheng Town and Qingyang Town, but because the Fat Man Army blew up the dam in advance to divert the flood in the current Chengzi Lake area, leading the high water level to rush into Chengzi Lake  , This will blow up the northwest dam of Hongze Lake again. The destructive power of the flood to Sizhou has been reduced by more than ten times, and the local people have more time to move to the highlands.  , but once again accelerated by more than double. It is estimated that by tonight at the most, the water level of Hongze Lake will drop by at least one foot and five.

    In this way, unless the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le can immediately lure the main force of the Fatty Army to the Gaojiayan, the Qing army may hurt the Fatty Army by blowing up the Gaojiayan, but Yue Le's army just arrived last night  Baoying County is still a hundred and ten miles away from Huai'an City, so how can they lure the main force of the Fatty Army to Gaojiayan immediately?  If the Qing army blows up Gaojiayan at this meeting, besides cutting off the return route of its main force, what effect will it have?

    Faced with Fatty Lu's shameless and vicious embankment bombing and flood diversion tactics, Kang Mazi was so angry that he even thought about digging up the Yellow River South Dike hundreds of miles away in Huai'an, but in a hurry, Kang Mazi went there again to find so many manpower  Digging dikes, you can't mobilize the local Han people in Huai'an to dig?  Moreover, the Yellow River is now between the peach blossom flood and the late flood, and the flow of the river is not particularly large. This will explode the Yellow River channel. The damage to farmland water conservancy is certainly devastating, but for living people who can run and jump,  Especially for an army with a collective organization, it will not cause major harm.  So the only thing Kang Mazi could do was to hide in the Xiba camp and curse desperately.

    When Kang Mazi yelled, Zhou Peigong also looked gloomy and did not speak. The current situation is already obvious. Gaojiayan has lost its greatest threat, and Fatty Lu has made it clear that he wants to use the opportunity of the Qing army to cross the river to launch a general attack and wipe out at least  The main force of the Qing army was severely damaged, and in order to keep the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le, the Qing court had only the last two options.

    "What method should I propose to the master? The first one must be sacrificed, and the second" Zhou Peigong thought about it, and looked at Kang Mazi who was yelling at Fatty Lu's eighteenth generation ancestor. Zhou Peigong still gave up on the second one.  He made a plan and clapped his hands to Kang Mazi and said: "Master, please calm down. We can talk about other things slowly. The most important thing right now is to withdraw the main force of our Qing Dynasty from the north bank of the Yellow River. This slave boldly proposes that the master should issue an order immediately, so that  The rear of our Qing army stopped retreating and organized defenses on the spot to buy time for the main cavalry of our Qing army to withdraw across the Yellow River."

    "Fart!" Kang Mazi suddenly slapped the fake dragon case, and roared with blood red mung bean eyes: "The most important thing right now is not to retreat! It's to attack! It's to chop off the head of that bastard Lu Yifeng,  Make me a chamber pot!"

    "Master, right now we" Zhou Peigong was taken aback, and was about to persuade him again, but Kang Mazi picked up the teacup from the Pseudo-Dragon case and threw it at him, which made Zhou Peigong's face bloom, and Zhou Peigong fell to his knees with his forehead on the ground.  No more daring to say anything.

    "Preach my will!" Kang Mazi yelled frantically: "The whole army will pull out their camps to cross the river and line up with their backs! I will fight to the death with Lu Yifeng's dog thief on the south bank of the Yellow River, and I will fight him to the death! I don't believe it, I will come to the front line in person  Commanding a decisive battle, my Qing army will definitely not be able to defeat that landed scholar!"

    "Master¡ª!" All the civil and military officials in the imperial tent were scared out of their wits, scrambling to kneel down together, shouting frantically: "Master, absolutely not!"

    "Shut up! I would rather be the emperor who dies in battle than the lord of peace!" The proud Kang Mazi roared again, "Those who are afraid of death don't have to cross the river! Anyone who dares to stop me from crossing the river, beheaded immediately!"

    "Master! You can't cross the river!" Prince Xian Danzhen stood up.

    "Shut up! One more wordy word, I will kill you immediately!" Kang said.?? request.

    Of course, Kang Mazi didn't want his running dog army to lose everything, and scolding Shang Shan was nothing more than venting his anger. When he was about to decide whether to send troops across the river or just send a ferry to meet him, he suddenly remembered  He raised a voice, and asked loudly with great dissatisfaction: "Hey, Emperor Manchu, did you forget me? I brought a letter written by General Lu Yifeng, the great general of the Great Zhou Zhengdong. Do you want me to wait here?  How much time?"

    "The envoy of Lu Yifeng's dog thief?" Kang Mazi finally remembered the existence of Li Ji, and hurriedly shouted: "Let that Wu dog envoy come in!"

    "Master, absolutely not!" Zhou Peigong jumped up and screamed with a pale face: "Master, Wu Gou's emissary can only be killed but not seen, this slave dares to take the head of the whole family as a guarantee, Lu Yifeng is a thief, this time  It must be playing tricks again!"
