The First Tyrant of Daxia

Last night, Qin Yun had already looked at the changes in the terrain of Xilu Canyon in the past five years and did not find anything unusual.

Upon hearing this, the generals immediately split up and sent their men to fetch the information.

Soon, He Ya came with a wooden box and opened it in front of everyone. There were countless books inside.

"Here are maps of the terrain around the Xilu Gorge at different times." He Ya said in a deep voice: "Persia used to have frequent foreign trade, so the map was updated very quickly."

Murong Shunhua took down a torch and approached the box. Qin Yun poured out the books in the box and asked the generals to start looking through them.

A group of military officers squatted on the ground, rummaging through the atlas as if they were picking up junk.

Suddenly, He Ya exclaimed and held up a map book: "Your Majesty, here is a map book that records the river diversion in the Xilu Gorge Plain!"

"What river?" Qin Yun frowned. "Isn't this a grassland? How can there be a river?"

Adolf, who was trembling with fear and never dared to speak, said cautiously: "In fact, there was a river here eight years ago."

Swish!

As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked at him, and everyone's eyes seemed to be glowing green.

"How do you know there is a river here?"

"Aren't you a slave?"

"Have you ever been to this plain?"

Facing the generals' questioning, Adolf was panicking, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, my ancestors were once nobles here, responsible for managing the area near the river on this plain."

Hearing this, Qin Yun and the other generals were all surprised.

The nearest place to the Xiru Gorge is the Persian Imperial City. If the nobles who govern this place are the top ones in Persia, how could they fall to the point of becoming slaves?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to tell you everything I know. Please give me a chance to restore the glory of my family!"

Adolf struggled to sit up, put his knees together, buried his head deeply between his knees, and begged in an extremely humble manner.

"Are you negotiating terms with me?"

Qin Yun frowned slightly, stood up, and looked down at the crowd: "No one can negotiate with me."

The majesty of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was revealed naturally. Murong Shunhua, who was standing by, saw him like this and showed an admiring expression.

Although this man may be out of line in front of her sometimes, he will never make any concessions when it comes to major issues, especially when it comes to things that concern his bottom line, he will not give an inch!

Hearing this, Adolf said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am not negotiating terms, I am begging for your mercy!"

"Even without your Majesty's mercy, I will tell you everything I know, without hiding anything!"

It has to be said that Adolf is very good at giving Qin Yun a way out, or he has an extremely keen sense of the emotions of those in higher positions.

Sensing the dissatisfaction in Qin Yun's heart, he immediately wagged his tail and begged for mercy without any hesitation.

Qin Yun looked at Adolf and felt that this guy had qualities that could be cultivated. He said slowly, "I'll give you a chance. Tell me the information you know. If it's really useful, I can consider it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Adolf's eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted his thanks. Regardless of the fact that Qin Yun had not really agreed, he stood up and walked to the map: "Your Majesty, there used to be two rivers on this plain."

Two rivers?

Hearing this, everyone in the audience was extremely surprised.

"Yes, these two rivers are tributaries of the Danube, but one passes through the plain, while the other starts from the Siru Gorge and runs through the entire plain."

He took the book that recorded the Xiru Canyon Plain, flipped through it for a while, and finally stopped at one of the pages.

"Five years ago, the river changed its course and the visible river disappeared completely, but the underground river is still there. This river has been flowing under the plain for who knows how many years. Now there are water holes under the entire plain."

When he said this, Qin Yun slapped the table and shouted in shock: "Fuck, is that bastard Barry planning to blow up the plain?"

boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like thunderclap out of the blue, and all the generals showed expressions of disbelief.

"That's impossible. To collapse the entire plain is simply a fantasy!"

"Even if we use gunpowder to explode, it's impossible to make the entire plain collapse!"

"No, if there are enough water holes..." Gongsun Zhongmou suddenly said solemnly, "We only need to blow up the key pillars, and the plain may collapse completely!"

Upon hearing this, all the generals were shocked, all of them were stunned by Gongsun Zhongmou's words.

Many people stood up and immediately mobilized troops to evacuate the troops on the plain.

After Qin Yun pondered for a moment, he suddenly said, "Wait, don't rush to evacuate."

He turned to look at Adolf and said in a deep voice: "Since you know this place so well, you should be able to find the entrance to the water cave?"

"Yes, my father once taught me these things." Adolf nodded.

"If we blast the plain, can we collapse only part of it?" Qin Yun gestured, "For example, only the area where our main camp is located now."

"This..." Adolf hesitated for a moment: "It should be possible, but it may cause a chain reaction. It depends on the structure of the water cave."

"Okay, whether you can restore the glory of your family depends on your performance." Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "All troops, listen to my order, disperse and retreat. Except for weapons, leave everything else here!"

"I want to see what Barry's expression will be when he leads his troops in here and sees that there is nothing here!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other with smirks on their faces.

"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan!"

"Your Majesty is indeed wise! I am truly impressed by him!"

"Your Majesty's talent is like that of an immortal in the world. I look up to you as a mountain. My respect for you is like a surging river..."

The endless praise made Qin Yun blush. After enjoying it for a while, he said with a straight face, "Okay, stop talking nonsense here and get to work."

As Qin Yun's order was passed down, the army on the plain began to move.

Led by the elephant army, they were the first to withdraw from the plain.

Then came the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Shenji Camp and others, following closely behind.

Of course, taking advantage of the night, everyone's actions were completely unnoticed by anyone. Only the bright moon in the sky was watching everything silently.

Soon, most of the night passed.

The entire camp became empty, with only the crackling bonfire proving that a huge army had once been stationed here.

The scouts sent out by Qin Yun also sent back news at this time.

"Your Majesty, we have detected traces of cavalry activity all around us!"
