    Wang Qi¡¯s army rushed all the way, and in less than two days, they left the confines of Ju County and entered the northern border of Haiqu County.  Today, there are no redundant soldiers guarding Haiqu County, and the journey is going smoothly.

    Especially according to the map of Xuzhou given by Xu Ji, the entire Haiqu County is mostly flat and open plains with relatively developed water systems and no deep mountains or old forests.

    It is true that no place is suitable for blocking.

    Wang Qi¡¯s army encountered no obstruction. When the army led by Wang Qi was still more than a hundred miles away from the county seat of Haiqu County, in the evening, the army stopped to rest.

    Haiqu County has a vast territory, larger than Ju County.

    So the distance is further.

    The army stopped to rest and camp temporarily.

    Now that we have entered mid-April, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it doesn¡¯t feel very cold at night.

    At night, the full moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is bright and falling continuously, making it possible to see the situation clearly throughout the night, even if there is no firelight.

    Wang Qi, Zhuge Feng, Zong Xixiang, Du Can, and Xiao Qingzhi were sitting together and talking about things in Haiqu County.

    Discussing the attack on Haiqu County.

    In fact, this situation happens every night.

    Anyway, if you are bored, you can deduce it.

    Continuously deduce and formulate strategies.

    Most of the time, Zong Xixiang does not participate. He just sits silently aside and occasionally adds a word or two.  He was still sitting aside tonight, but he raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.

    A pair of eyes, clear and bright.

    It¡¯s like seeing through the starry sky.

    Zong Xixiang has been observing, but the expression on his face is a bit solemn.

    While Wang Qi was speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zong Xixiang¡¯s expression and asked with a smile: ¡°Zong Xixiang, from the look on your face, you seem to have seen some weird celestial phenomenon. Is there anything wrong with it?¡±

    Zong Xixiang withdrew his gaze and replied: "My lord, the current celestial phenomena are indeed a bit weird."

    Wang Qi said: "Tell me and listen!"

    Zong Xixiang sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "I have been observing the sky. Every night, the stars are shining brightly. Especially in the past month and a half, not a drop of rain has fallen."

    "The entire Langya Kingdom has been in the dry season, which is a situation of water shortage."

    "Although Langya Kingdom is close to the sea, generally speaking, there should be no drought. But no one can say for sure about the current celestial phenomena. A small-scale drought is also possible."

    "Just like now, it has not rained for a month and a half. If this situation continues, there will definitely be a drought. Especially, I have checked the geography of Langya Kingdom and found that there was a spring drought in Langya Kingdom."

    "After the spring drought, there will be summer floods."

    ¡°That¡¯s what the saying goes: drought first and then flood.¡±

    Zong Xixiang said in a deep voice: "We are currently in a drought stage, although it is not serious yet. What if the drought continues for more than one or two months? The entire spring plowing of food will be greatly affected."

    Zhuge Feng¡¯s expression also became serious and he said, ¡°Zong Xixiang, are you sure?¡±

    Zong Xixiang said firmly: "The humble position is confirmed. I have been studying this matter for a period of time. Up to now, the overall situation of the stars is very clear. So I concluded that there will be more than 90% certainty that there will be a drought. It will last for a period of time.  Drought, and then it rains heavily and it starts to turn into waterlogging.¡±

    Zhuge Feng sighed.

    What a troubled year it has been!

    Today¡¯s Langya Kingdom has been ravaged by bandits this year, and officials in various places have been killed in rebellion.

    The life of ordinary people is already very difficult.

    Now, we are experiencing drought again.

    Thinking about it carefully, it¡¯s true, it hasn¡¯t rained since the beginning of the new year.  The situation in the entire Langya Kingdom since the beginning of spring has been like this.

    Zhuge Feng looked at Wang Qi and said: "Second brother, I believe in Zong Xixiang's judgment. Since there is a possibility of spring drought, we must respond as soon as possible. Starting now, let various places start to store water and dig more wells to prepare."

    "Once the drought comes, we can deal with it."

    "In addition, Ju County and other counties must dig ditches and canals as soon as possible to open up the rivers and not let the rivers become blocked. Once the drought passes, heavy rains will pour and the rivers will swell, so that various places will not be flooded."

    "Otherwise, once heavy rains fall, the rivers will be blocked and the rivers will swell and flood countless fertile fields and land. Such a situation will never be allowed to occur."

    ?Zhuge Feng said: "Langya Kingdom cannot withstand such a torment."

    Wang Qi nodded and said: "I will send a message back immediately to inform Zhu Shanchang, Lu Kang and Zhong You to make preparations in advance. The three of them are all people with outstanding abilities, and this matter can be handled well. And now we are working hard, and we will be here in a few days.  It can deliver a message.¡±

    He was not an indecisive person and did not waste time, so he immediately asked Su Lie to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote three letters, and then handed them to Xiao Qingzhi, who asked Xiao Qingzhi to arrange three soldiers to fly back to the counties to deliver the news.

    After doing all this, Wang Qicai breathed a sigh of relief.

    In the face of natural disasters, one can only do human things.

    Do your best at what you have to do and minimize losses as much as possible.

    Wang Qi also felt a little helpless. Today, the Langya Kingdom is in a state of dire straits waiting to be revitalized.  If something goes wrong at this time, it will still have some impact on the development of Langya Country.

    Wang Qi took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said: "Let's ignore the drought for now. After all, it is impossible to change anything just because of our worries. For now, we still have to capture Haiqu County."

    Zhuge Feng nodded and said: "The situation in Haiqu County is different from Zang Hong and others. Liang Chenxiang comes from a wealthy family and is knowledgeable and capable, so the situation is a little more complicated."

    "Report!"

    At this moment, a sentinel came running back on Pegasus.

    The sentinel came to Wang Qi's side, turned over and dismounted, panting and quite tired.  After all, riding back all the way back, even if you are riding on horseback, still consumes your energy and is not an easy task.

    After a while, the sentinel said: "Prime Minister, there is news from Qiu County in the south."

    As he spoke, the detective handed over the letter.

    After Wang Qi took it, he quickly opened the letter and looked at it. He suddenly frowned.

    Zhuge Feng asked: "What's going on?"

    Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Jiqiu County has sent troops and started heading towards Haiqu County. It seems that these are Liang Chenxiang's reinforcements. And according to the current situation analysis, after we arrived in Haiqu County, Qiu County  The county¡¯s troops will arrive. By then, we will easily be caught in the middle.¡±

    "Report!"

    At this moment, another whistle came back.

    Another sentinel came running back on horseback.

    After the sentinel turned over and dismounted, he immediately handed over the letter and said: "To the Prime Minister, letters have been sent back from Kaiyang County and Linyi County at the same time, please read it."

    These two letters were sent together.

    Wang Qi took it and took a quick look at it, and said: "Kaiyang County and Linyi County have both chosen to send troops. These two groups of soldiers are rushing north to Haiqu County."

    After a pause, Wang Qi said: "It's just that right now, we can't tell how many troops the opponent has."

    Zhuge Feng waved his hand and asked the sentry to retreat.

    Immediately, Zhuge Feng said: "Even if you don't know how many troops the opponent has, you can roughly understand this matter after a little thought. At least, there are at least 5,000 troops and horses along the way, and the total number is more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000.  Troop strength. Coupled with Liang Chenxiang¡¯s strength, it is at least 30,000, and there may even be several armies coming down, no less than 40,000 troops."

    Xiao Qingzhi said: "Thanks to our advance, we arranged sentries to sneak into each county to understand the situation in each county. Otherwise, we didn't know that these counties were sending troops. We rushed to the bottom of Haiqu County, and our retreat was blocked.  If it¡¯s broken, that¡¯s troublesome.¡±

    Du Can said: "The situation is very critical."

    Zong Xixiang could only sit aside.

    He knows something about using troops, but he is not proficient in it.  When it comes to matters in this area, most of the time, he listens to himself, studies hard, and strives not to fall behind others.

    Wang Qi was thinking in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Liang Chenxiang's plan is actually very clear, which is to attack us from a flank. How do you think we should deal with it now?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
