Chapter 748: Prepare for a Rainy Day
Strictly speaking, Shen Qingqian's guess was not wrong.
Shan Mancheng asked Tasang to report the news, mainly to remind the Hubei Northern Army to be careful of the tribes outside the Great Wall. At that time, the Jiayu tribe drove away the Lokikohan people with their numerical advantage, and was worried that they would go south, so he gave another reminder.
But after Shengze learned the news, he quickly concluded that the Lokikohan people would definitely move south.
The best solution for them to move south was not to find water sources themselves, but to directly plunder Ezhou’s resources.
What Shengze is most worried about is that the Lokikohan people will cooperate with the tribes outside the Great Wall that have not moved away. According to the information provided by Shan Mancheng, the tribes outside the Great Wall still have more than 100,000 combat forces, while the Lokikohan people have 50,000.
If the two sides cooperate, there will be more than 200,000 troops. If they come out in full force at that time, the Hubei Northern Army will face unprecedented pressure and a deadly battle is inevitable.
"The Jiayu tribe moved to the foot of Tianxue Mountain." Liang Cheng frowned.
He really didn't expect that a drought would force the enemy that had been a headache for the Hubei Northern Army for so many years to move away.
But their departure left behind new hidden dangers, and new enemies came because of the drought. The situation looked bad no matter how you looked at it.
In the past, the tribes outside the Great Wall did not dare to cause chaos because of the pressure from Shanman. Now that they are no longer under pressure and the grassland environment is so harsh, they may have been thinking about how to attack northern Hubei.
What's even worse is that the person sent by Shan Mancheng to report the news was delayed on the way, and the Lokikohan people might have been drinking and chatting with the group of people outside the pass.
"No matter what, we must be prepared first, and then send more people out to investigate." Sheng Ze said calmly.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in northern Hubei, otherwise I would really not be able to imagine it.
Liang Cheng nodded. "Of course. I'll give the order right away."
After saying this, he called his personal guards, made some arrangements, and sent them down.
When he and Sheng Ze were alone in the tent, Liang Chengcai looked at him seriously and asked, "Your Highness, please tell me the truth, is there a water shortage in northern Hubei?"
Originally he didn't want to ask this question, but times have changed. If he wants to go to war, he must be clear about this issue.
"No." Sheng Ze said firmly, "Uncle Liang, don't worry about that. I can guarantee that no matter what the weather is like, there will be no shortage of water in northern Hubei."
At most, the water will evaporate faster and the used water will be restored slower, but there will be no water shortage.
Shen Qingqian had mentioned the information about the sacred spring to Sheng Ze before. It was inexhaustible. With this premise, he was more confident than Shen Qingqian.
"That's good, I feel relieved now." Liang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the problem is determined, he dares to go ahead and do it.
Liang Cheng looked at Sheng Ze and asked, "Is this also the method used by you at Xuanji Mountain?"
This time Sheng Ze did not answer immediately, but paused before saying, "Yes."
Shen Qingqian's secret cannot be exposed. He will explain it to his master later. All these things will be attributed to the ancestors of Xuanji Mountain!
The Hubei Northern Army's preparations were not wrong. At this time, thirty miles away from the north gate of Hubei Northern City, a group of great wizards sent from the Jiayu tribe were looking towards the direction of Hubei Northern City in the dark.
"Sir David, are you sure you are willing to send 40,000 men to join us in attacking the city of Ebei across the way?"
"Yes, dear Bei, we are very willing to help you, as long as you can let us capture one of their cities."
