The generals were listening to the third prince's words at this moment, and they all felt in their hearts that the third prince was much more mature in handling affairs this time than before.
There were no troubles during the excavation of the Hanjiang embankment this time.
It seemed that he had been arrested once by Li Fengxian, and he was much more cautious.
Chen Changfeng was very satisfied and ordered everyone to prepare. Then he disappeared and didn't know what he was doing.
As soon as the third prince returned to his residence, he immediately found Liu Shenyan.
Although Liu Shenyan had asked Liu Shenyan to find a way to inform Li Fengxian of the news, the third prince was still a little worried.
If that guy Li Fengxian didn't act in accordance with the previous agreement and didn't even evacuate Dachu's southern army, Chen Changfeng would have become famous in one battle.
Then it will be absolutely impossible for his third prince to take back the military power of the Ming Dynasty's border army.
"Do you have any other news about Li Fengxian?" This was the first thing the third prince said when he saw Liu Shenyan.
Liu Shenyan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, our sincerity is sufficient. Li Fengxian hates Chen Changfeng to the core, so cooperating with us is an inevitable choice."
"And it's impossible for him to really watch hundreds of thousands of troops being submerged in the flood."
After hearing Liu Shenyan's explanation, the third prince felt a little more at ease.
"You come with me to dig the embankment tomorrow. Regardless of whether Li Fengxian sends people to feign attack as agreed or not, we must ensure that the embankment excavation goes smoothly, otherwise you and I will be in danger." The third prince said again.
If the embankment excavation fails, Chen Changfeng will definitely hold the third prince responsible.
He would even prepare evidence in advance to frame his third prince. When Chen Changfeng desperately killed himself, he would have nowhere to redress his injustice.
Only by ensuring that the embankment excavation was successful but the flood did not cause any harm to Da Chu's southern army would he have the opportunity to attack Chen Changfeng.
Flooding the city, killing people who originally belonged to the Ming Empire, and returning without success made Chen Changfeng miserable.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything will be carried out as agreed." Liu Shenyan nodded.
…
Early the next morning, the third prince and Liu Shenyan led a group of soldiers to the Hanjiang embankment in person.
At this time, the river embankment was almost dug. Looking at the long river, the third prince sighed in his heart.
If Chen Changfeng didn't leave this matter to him, he might not be able to deal with Chen Changfeng.
But now!
As long as the river embankment is dug, the surging river water will pour into the city below. However, except for some common people, there is not even a shadow of Chu's southern army in the city.
By then, the story of Chen Changfeng flooding the people in twelve cities will be reported to the Ming court.
The officers and soldiers of the border army would definitely not dare to take responsibility. If they took action again, would they be afraid that the military power would not fall into their own hands?
"Everyone, brace yourself in case enemies come to attack you." The third prince ordered loudly.
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison.
They also received news that His Royal Highness was planning to flood the twelve cities in Nanjun except Yongding City.
This matter was related to the future war situation, and they did not dare to neglect it at all.
Liu Shuwen found Chen Changfeng again, who seemed to have just come back from outside.
"Your Highness, the news of the flood attack on Yong'an City was leaked too early. I was outside just now and even heard many ordinary soldiers discussing this matter."
"Isn't this a joke? Li Fengxian must have led his men away long ago."
"Maybe send a large army to attack the soldiers digging the river embankment." When Liu Shuwen saw Chen Changfeng, he immediately expressed his worries.
He thought that only some of their generals knew about this matter, but the soldiers in the army were talking about it everywhere.
Even if Li Fengxian is a pig, he can always receive some news.
If Li Fengxian knew their purpose, would he still wait for the flood in Yongding City?
Chen Changfeng smiled slightly and motioned Liu Shuwen to sit down.
Liu Shuwen found that he couldn't stand Chen Changfeng at all, and he couldn't keep up with Chen Changfeng's ideas at all.
"It is inevitable that Li Fengxian knew about the water attack. Does the military advisor think that Li Fengxian will defeat the dike digging army commanded by the third prince?" Chen Changfeng did not explain, but asked Liu Shuwen.
Liu Shuwen nodded matter-of-factly.
Since Li Fengxian knows this and doesn't stop it, isn't he just waiting to die?
"The third prince is responsible for digging the embankment. If he fails to dig the embankment on time, I will kill him directly!" Chen Changfeng's sudden words made Liu Shuwen stand up suddenly.
After all, Chen Changfeng still wants to kill the third prince?
"Prince..."
"The third prince took the initiative to take over the task of digging the river embankment. He is not afraid that the river embankment will not be dug when the time comes. He will conspire with Li Fengxian, and Li Fengxian will send people to pretend to attack the river embankment."
"But the embankment will still be dug." Chen Changfeng continued.
Liu Shuwen was completely confused.
After a moment of silence, he came to his senses: "Li Fengxian will withdraw his troops from various cities in advance. Only ordinary people will be flooded?"
"The third prince is planning to use this to regain the military power of the border army?"
Liu Shuwen understood the logic of the whole thing, but he couldn't figure out what benefit this would have to Chen Changfeng?
The flood did not flood Chu's southern army, but instead flooded the people in twelve cities.
After all, these common people are also members of the Ming Empire.
If it was really flooded and Da Chu's southern army was not wiped out, how would Chen Changfeng explain?
"But Prince, what are the benefits of doing this?" Liu Shuwen really couldn't understand.
"As far as I know, except for Yongding City, the other twelve cities among the thirteen cities in Nanjun are all low-lying. Only the Cangmang Mountain not far from Yong'an City can store a large number of people."
"Now the cold wind is howling and the leaves are withering. All it takes is a spark to start a prairie fire..."
"Lie down—" Before Chen Changfeng could finish his words, Liu Shuwen staggered and sat on the ground.
…
"Mr. Xu, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, but I can't explain why?" In Yong'an City, Li Fengxian sat in front of Xu Gongmao, his face a little solemn.
Li Fengxian always felt uneasy today, as if something big was about to happen.
But why he felt this way, Li Feng left first and couldn't explain.
When Xu Gongmao heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Sir General Shen is probably worried about the Ming Dynasty's border troops digging embankments along rivers."
Li Fengxian didn't know much, so he just nodded slightly: "Maybe, but I always feel that something is wrong. Are Chen Changfeng's actions too obvious?"
"Then will Chen Wu cooperate with Chen Changfeng to plot against this general?"
Li Fengxian felt strange because he received another report from his general today, saying that the Ming Dynasty frontier troops were digging the embankment of Hanjiang River and seemed to be preparing to dig the embankment.
This kind of thing should be done in secret.
But Chen Changfeng seemed to want to let everyone know, and even his generals got the news.
Although Li Fengxian ordered the generals not to worry, Li Fengxian himself had doubts in his heart.
"Don't you have the blood letter of the third prince of the Ming Dynasty? And if it wasn't because Chen Changfeng didn't save him, he wouldn't have his ears cut off by the Lord God."
"Chen Changfeng and him also have a deep hatred. I guess the third prince of the Ming Dynasty was worried that the general would not evacuate as agreed, so he spread the news." Xu Gongmao explained with a smile.
Li Fengxian nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Gongmao: "What Mr. Xu said makes sense."
"By the way, Lord General, we also need to be more vigilant in Cangmang Mountain. Chen Changfeng is so scheming. Who knows if he will find out that our people have evacuated there." Xu Gongmao reminded Li Fengxian, his eyes falling on Li Fengxian's face.
