The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Jing was stunned.

"What comes on paper is always shallow..." Emperor Xia smiled.

There is another sentence below, which is of course a warning to him.

Xiao Jing's face darkened, he pursed his lips and cupped his fists: "I understand."

Finally, Emperor Xia picked up Xiao Rui's answer sheet.

On the white answer sheet, there were only thirty or so words, but Xia Huang frowned, showing a rare deep thought, and even forgot to ask for a while.

Xiao Jing was secretly happy, compared with the troublesome seventh brother, even if his answer sheet was flawed, he was still the best among the three, could he be rated as "top" by his father this time?

Emperor Xia looked at the answer sheet, and silently recited these 32 words in his heart:

"Sell the wild in Qi, dig the road along the veins."

"Connect Kunlun and divert water to the east."

"Push stones to build embankments, and accumulated water forms rivers."

"Lead the army into the urn and flood the Qi army."

This answer sheet made Emperor Xia feel strange, because he found that Xiao Rui's idea was similar to the urgent military report sent today.

The urgent military report comes from the Muye Ranch. After collecting the terrain and terrain, many people studied and decided on a strategy. Therefore, it is reasonable to propose this strategy, but what about my seventh son?

Just rely on the mountains and rivers on a map?

Emperor Xia put down the answer sheet and asked, "Rui'er, what is the basis for you to write down these strategies?"

Xiao Rui replied: "Father, my son is based on the topographic map hanging on the wall of the hall, please punish me, my son just wrote up the strategy randomly based on the topographic map, without inspection, it is not rigorous, my son knows crime."

really!

Emperor Xia was shocked.

"Tell me about your strategy in detail," Xia Huang said.

"Yes!" Xiao Rui said respectfully: "Rent the fields in Qi and dig roads along the veins. My son suggested negotiating with the Great Qi State and leasing the pastures occupied by our Great Xia State to the Great Qi State. They don't need money and let them use it. The horses are used as rent, first to earn a fortune, and in exchange for the illusion that the two countries are living in peace.”

"Then secretly sent soldiers to excavate along the valley between the mountains to the northwest, connecting to the Kunshan Mountains hundreds of miles away. Every spring, the ice and snow in the Kunlun Mountains melted and converged into the choppy Waves River. Slowly, the excavated canyon channel and the Bolan River can be opened up to divert water to the east."

"Finally, build a river embankment in the canyon on the west side of the Muye Ranch. When the ice and snow melt in the spring tomorrow, the river will surge, and the embankment will be flooded with raging water. Then our Great Xia Kingdom sent troops to try to occupy the Muye Ranch. The newborn horses are thriving, and the Great Qi Kingdom will definitely send troops south to protect the pastures against our army."

"At that time, we will dig the river and flood the pasture. The pasture is in the basin between the mountains. The terrain is low, and the people and horses inside are doomed."

Xiao Rui's voice was very calm, but it made the faces of the two brothers Xiao Yan and Xiao Jing change drastically.

"Father, whether this strategy is feasible or not still needs to be investigated on the spot. After all, talking about war on paper is just fantasy." Xiao Rui replied.

This is the method he can think of. It is not a matter of ten days and a half months, nor three or five months. It may take a year or two, or even longer.

Although it takes a long time, the effect is long-lasting.

Once the river embankment is cast, it will be a permanent weapon, and the Muye Ranch will always be in the hands of the Daxia Kingdom, and the Daqi Kingdom will never dare to invade from here, because their troops cannot stop the raging river that broke the embankment.

Emperor Xia didn't ask Xiao Rui, but looked at Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan, and asked, "What do you two think of this plan?"

"It's too cruel." Xiao Yan muttered.

However, Xiao Jing said: "It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to excavate a river channel to the northwest along the canyon. Even if the terrain permits, there is no guarantee that Da Qi will not know about it. Once it is known, the success will fall short."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "How to operate it depends on the terrain. As for whether it will be discovered by Da Qi, it depends on the concealment."

Xiao Jing argued: "I feel that this plan is fantastic, and I ask Father to make a decision."

Emperor Xia took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "Leading troops in battle, we all know that the right time, place and people are in harmony. If we occupy two of them, we will be invincible. When we compete with Da Qi for Muye pastures, our Da Xia Kingdom does not occupy three points. Therefore, the war Not the best choice."

"But at the same time, and, for the Great Xia Kingdom, there will be greater potential danger."

"There must be another trick."

After a pause, Emperor Xia said fairly to Hai Gong: "Go and get the memorial of Champion Hou."

Chapter 11: Making things difficult

Eunuch Hai fetches an urgent memorial from Champion Hou.

Emperor Xia gestured, and Eunuch Hai presented it directly to Xiao Rui.

"Let's take a look, this is the memorial sent by the champion Hou Ji, which describes in detail the plan he made after research." Emperor Xia laughed,

Xiao Rui took the memorial and opened it, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan surrounded it, and the three of them browsed together.

In the memorial, Champion Hou described in detail the basis for excavating canyon channels and building embankments, and calculated the project volume, where the difficulties were, and how many people and time it would take.And where to build the embankment.

The basic idea coincides with Xiao Rui's, but Champion Hou's plan is more rigorous. He selected four dangerous locations in the excavated canyon, and built all embankments, from low to high, to prevent the flood from bursting. tidy.At the same time, instead of using one canyon to divert the water, there are four ways to divert the water from the Polang River.

This plan took a year, but when it was completed, the Muye Ranch could be brought into the pocket of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Xiao Jing's eyes widened immediately, if he hadn't known that Champion Hou was his father's confidant, he would have thought it was a spy sent by Xiao Rui.On the contrary, this is even more frightening. Can my seventh brother be able to pinch and count?It turned out to be... well, it's too powerful.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, with an excited expression on his face, he roared in his heart: I knew it, my seventh brother is the most powerful, haha...

"Ding dong..."

In Xiao Rui's mind, the system's notification sounded, and the task was completed, and he got 15 points of advent.So far, there are a total of 80 advent points, and there are only 20 points left to collect all the points. I don’t know if the points are enough, what can I get?

Xiao Rui is a little excited, will he transform?

Bumpman... Numbness, get out of the Japanese country, my Great China has a long mythology, come out, my golden cudgel is already hungry and thirsty.

Emperor Xia got up and walked down: "Xiao Jiu is kind, but he doesn't have enough grasp of the overall situation. I'll give you a 'medium' for your strategy. Jing'er knows the overall situation, but lacks careful consideration. Those in power must not act blindly. Therefore, I will define your strategy as 'top middle'. As for Rui'er...You can agree with Champion Hou's idea, this is the result of your hard work, I will give you a 'top top'. Yesterday, Zhongyong Hou entered the palace , Speaking of your anecdote, you know his second girl, and he also pays attention to you, asking about the situation of Muye Ranch."

What does Emperor Xia mean by this?

Xiao Rui hurriedly said: "Father, thanks to the loyal and brave Marquis who paid attention to my son, and told him about the situation of Muye Ranch, my son can be recognized by my father."

Emperor Xia took a deep look at Xiao Rui, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have always underestimated the seventh son.Or, are you ignoring it yourself?

interesting!

However, Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, so that was the case, he thought that his seventh brother had great powers, and it turned out that there was Zhongyonghou behind him, so it made sense.

"How is it? How are you getting along with the second daughter of the Zhongyong Hou family?" Xia Huang then asked.

These words made Xiao Rui, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Yan stunned.
