On the way back, the two were still arguing, and neither could convince the other for a while. Finally, Feng Ye said angrily: "Yan Sikong, you are the only one who dares to contradict me like this."
Yan Sikong was helpless: "Where am I contradicting you? I am for the sake of the army, and it is really not suitable to fight right now."
"Is it just returning without success?"
"I didn't say to retreat, and I don't want to retreat, but we can't attack the city. If we attack the city, there will be heavy casualties. The odds of winning are too low, unless... King Liang can be lured out of Jingzhou."
"King Liang is shrewd and cunning. How could he give up Jiancheng to fight with me? What's more, when he came to aid Kuizhou, he had already taken a wrong step. I ambushed and wiped out five or six thousand people. It is impossible to make the same mistake again."
Yan Sikong said: "It is indeed difficult, but it depends on human effort."
"Could it be that you have a clever plan?" Feng Ye asked, "You and Mr. Liang are really... Don't tell us to act rashly, and you can't come up with a feasible plan."
Yan Sikong shook his head: "Let me think about it again." He is also anxious now, if he can't win Jingzhou, King Liang will go south, which will definitely cause greater disaster, and he will also miss the opportunity to kill Ge Zhong. The king of Liang’s rebellion was the result of him secretly fueling the flames. Naturally, he had already prepared for the situation to get out of control when he made such a dangerous move. There is no risk in doing anything, but it is far from the point where he will attack the city by chaos. The reason why he has repeatedly warned Zhao Fuyi can't act rashly, but he doesn't come up with a plan. It's not that he doesn't have a plan. He already has a plan in his mind, but he still needs to wait for someone to prove whether the plan is feasible for him.
That person is She Zhun.
She Zhun left Beijing first. If there is no accident, he must have been in Jingzhou City. His mission to Kuizhou and the persuasion of the rebels have almost been broadcast in the two lakes these days. She Zhun will definitely use some means to contact him. He must Wait.
Feng Ye sighed in disappointment, and looked up at the starry sky: "If my father is here, how will I make a decision?"
Yan Sikong patted Feng Ye's shoulder, and said softly with that steady magnetic voice: "King Jingyuan has been in the army for more than 30 years, and he must have been in trouble countless times, but he has overcome them one by one. If he is here, I guess he will ask you to calm down, Feng Ye, calm down, we still have two months, there will definitely be a chance to turn things around."
Feng Ye looked down at Yan Sikong, and forced a smile: "I'm really impatient. We won Kuizhou, and our morale is booming. I really hope that we can take down and recover Jingzhou. My father is far away in Datong, so he will know News of my victory."
"Yes." Yan Sikong held the hand on Feng Ye's shoulder secretly, "Sooner or later, your title of Little Wolf King will resound throughout Dasheng."
Feng Ye blinked: "Konger, do you really think so?"
"really."
Feng Ye finally showed a sincere smile, and he pretended to be strange: "You are so clever, I was still angry with you just now, but now I can't get angry anymore."
Yan Sikong chuckled: "Do I still have to accompany you?"
"That's not necessary, don't sing against me in the future."
"This point, I'm afraid I can't promise you. As a subject of Dasheng, I should take the country..."
"Ouch, okay, I can't say enough about you."
"Then let's not talk about it, let's go back to the post house."
Feng Ye put his arms around his shoulders, and said coquettishly: "If I get angry with you in the future, you will coax me like this, and I won't be willing."
Yan Sikong laughed: "Okay, okay." At this moment, Feng Ye fell to a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit fondling.
—
To wait for a news that may not come will require great concentration, and you need to be able to bear the heavy pressure.
Zhao Fuyi and Feng Ye have been planning a sneak attack from the waterways these days, leading Liang Wang's main force to the water, attacking east and west, and sending a large army to attack the city. Although the plan is a good plan, it will be very difficult to implement. If Liang Wang does not If they are fooled, they will lose their sailors in vain.
Yan Sikong still urged Zhao Fuyi to stand still, fortunately he was not alone, and Liang Guang also had the same opinion as him, otherwise, with his status, he would definitely not be able to stop Zhao Fuyi and Fengye.
Zhao Fuyi did not give up on this plan, but he did not plan when to send troops. It was a compromise, and he was also waiting for the opportunity.
One night, while Yan Sikong was lighting up the lamp to sort out paperwork, a stone broke through the window and almost hit him in the face.
He got up quickly, picked up the stone, pulled the cloth strips tied on it, opened it, and saw that it was the letter from She Zhun!
Yan Sikong excitedly read the letter through Shixing at a glance.
Sure enough, She Zhun had already arrived in Jingzhou, but he didn't know that Yan Sikong had also gone out with the Jingshan garrison. He didn't get the news until Yan Sikong was sent to Kuizhou.
He lurked in Jingzhou for more than a month, and found out about the old background of King Liang. The situation of King Liang's soldiers, horses, and fodder basically coincided with their scout reports.
She Zhun also inquired about an extremely important piece of news, which confirmed Yan Sikong's conjecture for many days, that is, King Liang's next goal is Yueyang County. If Yueyang is captured, King Liang will be able to control several shipyards on Dongting Lake , The strength of the navy increased greatly.
Finally, She Zhun told Yan Sikong where Ge Zhong was being held.
This secret letter was of great significance, Yan Sikong was very excited, he finally found a way to lure King Liang to send troops.
Yan Sikong put the secret letter on the candlestick, burned it completely, then opened the door and walked to Fengye's other courtyard.
There was still a lamp in the Fengye house, and the tall figure inside the house could be seen through the window, wandering left and right.
Yan Sikong knocked on Feng Ye's door.
"Who."
"it's me."
Feng Ye opened the door, dragged Yan Sikong into the room, and said with a smirk, "You came to see me so late, but the night is long, and you can't sleep alone?"
Yan Sikong glanced behind Fengye, but saw a map of the two lakes hanging on the wall, he said with a smile: "Aren't you also unable to sleep, can you also be alone?"
Feng Ye followed his gaze and glanced back, not wanting to tease Yan Sikong anymore, he sighed softly: "I've been watching it for several days." He dragged Yan Sikong to the wall, "I'm closing the door now." When I close my eyes, my mind is full of water, land, mountains and rivers near Jingzhou."
"That's why I came to you." Yan Sikong watched carefully.
Feng Ye hugged Yan Sikong from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, sniffing his lightly scented hair: "What did you come up with?"
"The king of Liang is now building a ship."
"Well, of course."
"But the waterways near Jingzhou Mansion are not suitable for building large ships. The Jiangnan navy is powerful. He doesn't have good ships, so how can he talk about going south."
Feng Ye nodded: "Back then, the Soochow Navy dominated one side and stood up to the Three Kingdoms. It was indeed difficult to deal with."
"Look, Jingzhou Mansion is here, how can we build a big ship for King Liang?"
Feng Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the map that he had been staring at for several days, "Dongting Lake?"
"That's right." Yan Sikong pointed to a large lake on the map, "It's half a day away from Jingzhou, and Yueyang's troops are insufficient. If King Liang occupies Dongting Lake, he can not only control the shipyard on Dongting Lake, but also occupy a large lake. As an important waterway hub, there are countless merchant ships on Dongting Lake, which is convenient for him to transport food from all directions, and it can also bring him a large amount of taxes."
Feng Ye patted his head: "Dongting Lake, we have guessed before, but we dare not make a judgment, because if King Liang really sends troops to Yueyang, there will be nothing behind him, and he probably won't take the risk."
"That's right, but Yue Yang is very important to King Liang, I guess he must take it."
Feng Ye thought about it: "So, since we want to take down Yueyang, but we can't give us an opportunity, if I am King Liang, I will... procrastinate."
"Yes, procrastinate. He knows that we are short of food and grass. As long as we procrastinate, we will retreat sooner or later. At that time, he will take Yueyang again, and there will be no worries."
Feng Ye stared at Dongting Lake on the map, lost in thought.
"Yueyang may be our only chance to lure the enemy out of the city. Only when King Liang goes out of the city to fight with us—whether by water or land, we have a chance of winning."
"How to use Yue Yang to lure the snake out of the cave?"
"The King of Liang marches into Yueyang first. If our army divides 10,000 troops to protect Yueyang, King Liang will be attacked by the enemy and the waterway will be cut off. I don't believe he can still sit on the stool."
Feng Yexi said: "I think this plan is feasible, we will go to General Zhao tomorrow morning."
Yan Sikong turned around and looked at Fengye: "Yueyang is our only chance, but this opportunity is only to lure the enemy out of the city. King Liang is now equal in strength to me. On the day of hand-to-hand combat, no one will win or lose. Know."
Feng Ye stroked Yan Sikong's cheek, his eyes were as murderous as a wolf's: "As long as I can lure King Liang out of the strong city, I will definitely kill him!"
Yan Sikong's heart couldn't help beating a few times, he smiled and said: "You are young, don't speak wildly."
Feng Ye grinned wildly: "I have never attacked a city, because Wala has no city to attack, so if I say that I will attack the city, that would be crazy, but I fought against Wala when I was eleven years old. They are the most fierce and brave enemies in the world, even I am not afraid of them, why should I be afraid of a pampered vassal king? Sooner or later, I will show you my husband's heroic appearance on the battlefield."
Yan Sikong nodded, his eyes flickering: "Okay, I'll wait to see you defeat the enemy and break the city, and win the battle!"
