So He Chun, your opinion is to take Yanshan first? Then do you have any good ideas for attacking Yanshan? I think the city defense system of Yanshan Mansion is quite sound, and the city wall is also high and thick. If we want to attack by force, I am afraid that this battle will The damage will be considerable if we defeat it." In fact, he had already decided to capture Yanshan first, but how to attack Yanshan became Dayou's worry. Liang Chongxin pushed all four divisions of the First Army forward, and soon Soon, they will arrive in Jeju. The heavy responsibility of this battle is equivalent to being all on him. If he cannot achieve a beautiful victory, Cheng Dayou himself will feel a little hard to explain.
"Well, Yanshan City is indeed not easy to fight. Now Situ Tai has placed two divisions in Yanshan City. Although the combat effectiveness is not necessarily very strong, but trusting the perfect defense system, it will indeed cause considerable losses if it is really captured. Now it has been It’s not a question of whether we can win, but how to gain victory at the minimum cost. Didn’t Mr. Liang remind the general before? It would be great if he could persuade him, but Situ Tai dared to take these two divisions with confidence and boldness. Put it here, I'm afraid these two divisions have passed the test in terms of loyalty, so this aspect may not be feasible." Chang Hechun's eyes wandered as he pondered and kept looking at the small map on the case table. Uncertain, obviously thinking about something.
"He Chun, are you plotting against Yishui?" Seeing that his chief of staff's eyes kept wandering on the woolen line on the small map, Cheng Dayou showed a faint smile on his lips.
With a flick of his eyes, Chang Hechun didn't expect that his inner thoughts were actually thought of by the coach. The reason why he didn't bring it up was because he was considering some difficult issues.
"General, it seems that my subordinates and you have gone together. It's just that the situation is easy to let go, but the end of the situation is difficult to recover." Chang Hechun sighed softly, looked up and said with some regret: "If it were in the past, we Maybe there are not so many scruples, and this trick will be used once it is used, but now, the unification of the empire is imminent, and His Highness the King of Qin has always valued the people's hearts. If we come to flood Yanshan Mansion, I am afraid that the spitting stars from all over the empire will drown us. , what will His Highness the King of Qin think? Will he blame us? Otherwise, we should report this plan to His Highness the King of Qin first."
Shaking his head slowly, Cheng Dayou said with a determined face, "I will not accept your orders from the emperor. Now report this plan to His Highness. His Highness will definitely not agree. We can only kill first and then report it. We are soldiers, and we only know how to do it at the minimum cost." Victory, as for the rest, that is not what we have to consider, the endgame? Humph, let’s let the local government that takes over in the future take care of the troubles. At the worst, His Highness the King of Qin will provide more support in the future. These places are just to make up for it. What I am worried about is that it has already been It’s late autumn, is there enough water in Yishui to support it?”
"General, there is no need to worry about this. My subordinates have already understood that the amount of water in the main stream of Yishui this year is quite acceptable, but we need to seize the time, otherwise the amount of water will not only gradually decrease, but also may freeze. We can build it first Dam to store water. In addition, my subordinates have already consulted the map of this area. There are many volcanic lakes in the mountains near the upper reaches of Yishui River. If these lakes can be dug out in lower geographical locations, it can be greatly improved. Replenish the amount of easy water, and everything will be safe." Chang Hechun had obviously made full preparations before this, and had already dealt with the coach's concerns.
Cheng Dayou knew that his chief of staff had probably thought of this slightly evil strategy a long time ago, but it was just because of material considerations, so he never dared to bring it up until he mentioned it. , "He Chun, you don't have to worry too much about this. I have my own ideas. This place of Yanyun has always been the place where the most powerful opposition to His Highness King Qin has been arbitrarily attacking and slandering His Highness. Now I have the opportunity to teach these guys a lesson. This evil person let It doesn’t matter if I carry it once. After this battle, I guarantee that I will be punished on the surface, but you have to believe that deep down in his heart, His Highness King Qin will never blame me. He will even praise me secretly. Well done. Some people are like swordsmen. The more you treat them favorably and show kindness, the more they will howl and bark at you like a mad dog. If you don't say anything, just give him a whip or a stick, and he will I will soon be begging for mercy like you, begging for your forgiveness, hehe, I think the nobles and gentry in this Yanyun land are such people, so let me be the executioner with a whip and a stick, hehehehe."
Cheng Dayou is confident that his understanding of human nature is deeper than that of his chief of staff. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Cheng Dayou firmly believes in this, and Li Wufeng is even more ruthless and vicious than himself in this regard, but in his current position Different, only these subordinates took the blame for many scapegoats. Didn’t Cui Wenxiu do the same thing? As for the upright heroic side that needs to be shown to the people, let the great King of Qin stand up and perform it.
Now the situation has become tense almost all of a sudden. The fall of Laizhou was expected. What can a garrison division that is regarded as rubbish help? When the Western Xinjiang Army approaches Laizhou City, Laizhou City remains behind The civil and military officials, together with the security divisions, ran out of the city crawling on the ground and respectfully handed over the rule to the Western Xinjiang Army. Overnight, the golden roc flag on the wall of Laizhou City flew towards the east sea breeze. .
The Western Xinjiang Army advanced at an unusually fast speed, and almost ignored the existence of Beiping Prefecture in the southwest. The army of more than 100,000 people marched directly into Yanshan Prefecture in a mighty manner. Even the people in Yanshan Prefecture could feel the oppressive atmosphere. With the strong fighting spirit behind them, the nobles and gentry in Yanshan Prefecture have already retreated to their respective mansions in the city. If the Western Xinjiang Army wants to make trouble, let them do it outside the city. Anyway, the land that should be taken back has already been taken away. Now, what should be hidden has been hidden, so just wait and spend the coming cold winter in Yanshan City. Those damn Xijiang people still dare to come to Yanshan to show off their evil deeds. They simply don’t care about life and death. Let them taste the wilderness of Yanshan. The smell of winter is also a good thing. It would be better to freeze all these damn Xijiang people into zombies.
The Western Xinjiang Army also seemed to be aware of the difficulty of conquering Yanshan Fucheng. It did not launch an attack on Yanshan Fucheng as it had done when it was rushing to enter the territory of Yanshan Plan. Instead, it set up camp in the area around Yanshan Fucheng and seemed to be preparing for a protracted war. The appearance of fighting made the gentry and nobles in Yanshan City feel much more at ease. Since the people of Xijiang put on this appearance, it means that they do not plan to attack the city in the near future. They may not really launch an attack until spring next year. , at least this winter can be spent safely.
The Western Xinjiang Army's appearance of fighting a protracted war did not make the Northern Army garrison stationed in Yanshan Fucheng feel relaxed. As the guard general, Luo Bingji's inner pressure was getting heavier day by day. He had never thought that the Western Xinjiang Army was like this. The sudden advance into Yanshan Prefecture was to spend the winter in the wilderness within Yanshan Prefecture. If the Western Xinjiang Army really planned to launch an offensive after this winter, they could have stopped in Laizhou or Jeju, but they did not hesitate. The enemy entered Yanshan, which only shows that the other side is confident that the war will be completely resolved before the severe winter comes.
Luo Bingji has never figured out where the other party's confidence comes from. It's not that he has not considered the problem of Yishui River, but the volume of Yishui River has gradually decreased. If it drags on for a while, Yishui River will even freeze. Although Yanshan Prefecture is located in The center of the basin, but with the current water of the Yishui River, it is difficult to have much impact on the Yance Mansion, and the most important point is that Luo Bingji also knows that the civil war in the empire has come to an end, and His Highness the King of Yan's current desperate fight is nothing It was just to get out and get better conditions, and Li Wufeng, who was about to ascend the throne, would not use such vicious methods to deal with the people of Yanshan who were about to become his people, but he had forgotten that his opponent was not someone else, but It's Cheng Dayou who doesn't play his cards according to common sense at all.
Luo Bingji felt more and more uneasy in his heart. The enemy's behavior was too hesitant. He had not even set foot on the outskirts of Yanshan Prefecture, but was just posing in the north. He didn't know what his opponent wanted to do, and he couldn't break through the densely populated Western Xinjiang. Army Qi Team, it seems that the Xijiang Army really intends to isolate Yanshan Mansion here? A week has passed and there is still no movement. Could it be that his judgment was wrong? Luo Bingji stood on the city wall in pain. Thinking hard.
The November sun set over Yanshan City no longer provided much warmth, but seemed even colder. Luo Bingji looked into the distance, as if he wanted to get some inspiration from there. There were only a few copies sent by the scouts and the intelligence department. The information has been turned over and over in Luo Bingji's mind several times, and the map of the entire Yanshan Mansion has also been slowly passing through Luo Bingji's mind. It can be said that he knows every place marked on the map, but he has never been able to find a single one. For a reasonable reason, when Luo Bingji's gaze passed to the northwest in a daze, a few wisps of black smoke on the edge of the distant sky attracted Luo Bingji's attention.
"What's going on?" Luo Bingji frowned and asked casually in confusion.
"Sir, that's volcanic activity. There are many fire-spitting volcanoes in the mountains here. They often spew out lava and flow around. After cooling, it becomes blocked everywhere. This is how the volcanic lakes in the mountains are formed. Listen, Are you saying that the volcanic lake water can also cure skin diseases after bathing?" The soldier was a local and immediately answered in a slightly showy tone.
"Volcanic lake?!" He almost screamed in shock. It seemed that the answer to the mystery was revealed all of a sudden. Everything was understood. Luo Bingji's face was ashen and he looked like a dead man, and he fell weakly to the ground.
