The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

At midnight, when the waning moon hung high above the treetops, the dam upstream of the Yu River was dug open.

The surging water of the Yu River flowed directly into Yuzhou City along the newly dug canals by the soldiers.

Tens of thousands of rebels in Yuzhou City were still asleep, and the soldiers on duty were dozing off against the wall.

Suddenly, someone heard a crashing sound and woke up in shock.

"What's that sound?" a rebel asked vigilantly.

"Is it raining? There's the sound of water..."

"do not know……"

A breeze blew across the city wall, bringing with it a moist scent.

The rebels heard the sound of rushing water and found it extremely strange.

They looked around with torches and found that there was a huge flood flowing in from outside the city, constantly hitting the city walls.

Weird? Where does the water come from?

The rebels on the city wall were confused and quickly reported the matter to Prince Xin Qi Mingzhe.

Qi Mingzhe was still upset about the inexplicable loss of 60,000 soldiers three days ago.

He lay alone in bed, his mind full of the scene of his mother and Wei Shu dying in front of him. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"Your Highness Prince Xin, this is bad. The Yu River seems to be flooding. The area outside the city is flooded..."

An anxious voice came from outside the door.

"What's the flood?"

Qi Mingzhe got up from the bed and opened the door.

They only have tens of thousands of soldiers left now, so it is impossible for anything to happen again.

The rebel soldiers who came to report were kneeling on the ground, also confused.

"I don't know. There's a lot of water outside the city, pouring straight into the city..."

"WTF?"

Qi Mingzhe was incredulous. It wasn't the flood season yet, so it wasn't the time for a flood.

Moreover, even if the Yu River floods, it will not submerge Yuzhou City.

"There was already water in the city. When I came here, my shoes were soaked."

Qi Mingzhe looked down and saw that the soldier's shoes were indeed wet.

"I'll go and take a look." Qi Mingzhe said with a serious look.

"Should we tell the military advisor?" asked the rebel soldiers.

Everyone knows that Prince Xin has no other ideas except losing his temper.

The person who really has ideas is the military advisor beside Prince Xin.

But everyone said he was from Beimang.

"No need. The military advisor has just fallen asleep. I'll go check on him first."

Qi Mingzhe followed him out of the yard. There was already water on the street. He walked quickly up to the city wall and felt a chill coming towards him.

At this time, a lot of water had seeped into the city, and many soldiers in the city were awakened.

Qi Mingzhe felt a chill in his heart. He walked up to the city wall and looked out, only to see that there was a vast ocean outside the city.

The rebels lit torches, and under the dim light of the torches, the flood rushed against the city walls on all sides, surrounding the entire Yuzhou City.

At this moment, flames suddenly flashed on the two high slopes to the east and west of the city.

The 40,000 soldiers from the second and third camps of the Jingji Camp were like two long dragons spewing fire, staring at Yuzhou City with eager eyes.

Qi Mingzhe had never seen such a scene before, and his scalp went numb...

He looked at the dark river water in front of him and felt that he was already submerged in darkness.

The rebel general defending the city said, "Prince Xin, this is the enemy's strategy. They are the ones diverting the water from the Yu River."

"Then...what should we do?" Qi Mingzhe asked.

"Ask the military advisor."

At this time, Wei Dian had already received the news and walked to the top of the city wall.

Seeing that the city walls were surrounded by water, Wei Dian knew that he had killed two birds with one stone. His idea of ​​luring Si Yan into the city and blowing up Si Yan and the rebels at the same time was completely shattered.

They have also missed the best opportunity to have a decisive battle with Si Yan.

Si Yan's move not only destroyed the Thunderbolt, but also left the rebels with nowhere to go.

Wei Dian looked at the dark water in the distance and sighed softly, "Your Highness Prince Xin, at this point, there is no other way."

There was water all around and no boats in the city, so they had no way of getting out.

Si Yan has already sent people to guard the east and west slopes. If they go out, they will die.

"Offer the head of King Xin and I will spare your lives."

At this moment, the enemy's shouts were heard on the hillside outside the city. The enemy troops responded from the east and west, with such momentum that it was terrifying.

Qi Mingzhe shuddered all over, shrank his body, and hid behind Wei Dian.

Wei Dian's eyes darkened, and he took Qi Mingzhe's hand and said to everyone, "You guys keep an eye on it first. Prince Xin and I will go back and discuss our strategy against the enemy."

With that, the two of them disappeared into the night.

Since then, the rebels never saw Prince Xin again. Qi Mingzhe and the masked military advisor disappeared together.

It was dawn, and the early morning sunlight penetrated the layers of clouds and mist, shining brightly and illuminating the city of Yuzhou.

The water around was shimmering, and there were even fish jumping around. The scattered peach blossoms upstream were floating on the water layer by layer, washing the city walls.

Overnight, flood water seeped into Yuzhou City, submerging half of the city wall, and the outside of the city was tightly surrounded by flood water.

Si Yan ordered the fleet on the Yu River to be driven into the outskirts of Yuzhou City and a boat bridge was built, extending from the west gate of Yucheng to the western hillside.

These ships were all collected by Boya, and they were of all sizes. All the ships that could come in were brought in.

Gu Yongcheng from the second battalion of the Gyeonggi Camp and Lu Dongyan from the third battalion led their soldiers to stand on the east and west hillsides respectively.

The two men looked solemn, staring intently at the huge army standing on the roofs and crowded on the city walls.

They were experienced veterans, but they had never seen such a spectacular sight.

When they learned that the enemy had thunderbolts, they thought that they would have to fight a bloody battle to quell the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, Lord Si Yan and Prince Yan subdued hundreds of thousands of rebels without any effort.

How powerful this is!

How convincing!

"Lord Si Yan has issued an order: those who lay down their weapons and surrender will be forgiven, but those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy."

The soldiers of the second and third battalions stood on the high hillside and shouted in unison.

The rebels in Yuzhou City were helpless. Since they could not find Prince Xin Qi Mingzhe and Wei Dian, they had no choice but to surrender.

"We surrender!" someone shouted.

"We surrender!"

"We surrender..." The deafening shouts of the rebels resounded over Yuzhou.

Si Yan ordered the fleet to pick them up. The rebels boarded the ship one after another from the west gate tower, surrendered their weapons, and lined up on the opposite hillside to surrender.

Si Yan had them sent to the new recruit camp outside Beijing and handed over to his brother Si Qingshan to be re-incorporated into the army.

Most of the rebels were ordinary people from Daxuan. They rebelled simply to follow the generals above them and had no other choice.

After the rebels surrendered, Si Yan reported to the crown prince and pardoned the soldiers' crimes.

As for those generals, although they were pardoned, they were removed from their official posts and ordered to go to remote areas.

At this moment, Yun Li came forward to report: "Master, Master Bo's men have captured Qi Mingzhe and the masked man."

"Go and have a look."

On the night when Yuzhou City was flooded, the two wanted to escape overnight.

They soaked in the water for a whole day, but were eventually discovered and captured by Boya's men.
