"Hu Chuquan, of course I'm always thinking about avenging your brother."
"But siege warfare is not our forte."
"The first day of the siege resulted in heavy losses, and the troops inside the city refused to leave to fight."
"We can only besiege them until they run out of supplies!"
Qiang Qu's face was flushed with alcohol. "I'm still waiting for the Emperor of the Great Han to send me salt and iron supplies."
"Once we've defeated Liu Wei, we'll go to Yanmen Pass and ask the Emperor of the Han Dynasty for a princess to marry you."
After saying this, Qiangqu took a big gulp of wine and laughed heartily.
At this moment, King Jian entered and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, some of your subordinates have reported that the Clear Water River has become murky these past few days. This phenomenon is rather abnormal!"
Qiangqu was somewhat annoyed by the arrival of King Jianjiang.
King Jianjiang suffered a setback in his attack on the Qingshui River Valley, and his troops suffered heavy losses.
In addition, he later suggested using Han Chinese civilians to coerce Liu Wei into leaving the city to fight, but Liu Wei used the same tactic against him, and Liu Wei returned disappointed, failing to succeed.

He gradually lost patience with this king, and Qiangqu chose to resist his advice.
Now that he's spouting nonsense again, I'm immediately angry:

Qiangqu laughed loudly, "King Jianjiang, such a little rain can cause a flood?"
“I have never heard of flooding in this city of Shanwu in the past few decades.”
"What if... what if someone digs open that place and diverts the water from Daihai Lake into the Qingshui River!"
King Jian then expressed his concerns.
"That's even more impossible! How many people would it take to dig into the lake?"
“Since the day we arrived in Shanwu, this place has been so crowded that no one can get out.”
"You should just go back to camp and let your men herd sheep and milk the cows."
Qiangqu waved his hand, not taking King Jianjiang's words to heart.
Seeing that Qiangqu wouldn't listen, Wang stamped his foot and was about to turn around and leave when he heard someone shouting outside:
"Your Majesty...the Han army in the city has opened the gates and is attacking!"
What!
