Yicheng can't be attacked for a long time, although there will be a time to gnaw at it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, if this battle is strong, it will inevitably cause great damage to the army of Haobei.

Therefore, Xiao Chuxuan finally reached an agreement with the generals, temporarily withdrawing the troops, waving the army to withdraw temporarily, resting and giving food, and waiting for the opportunity.

The army of Haobei temporarily retreated, not because it was afraid of the defenders of Yicheng, but because it did not want to waste unnecessary sacrifices in the excessive attack. Retreating as an advance is also a great trick in military strategy, in order to protect the source of troops so that they can go south to seize power in the future, unnecessary sacrifices on the way.

If you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

Xiao Chusu's military ability, now the generals of Haobei have been cleared, so this short retreat has no one to object, but obeyed her military order, first let Haobei retreat a hundred miles, set up camp between Wencheng and Yicheng, and wait for the opportunity.

The opportunity is to wait, but the opportunity to wait for this expedition is not to stay there and wait for God to give it, many times, you have to find your own law and make opportunities. Yicheng is really impregnable, and if you want to capture it, the troops consumed will definitely not be thousands.

Han Qi imprisoned the wives and children of the Yicheng guards in Kyoto, obviously fighting to consume the Haobei army. After all, how strong the army of Haobei is, how can this emperor not know? That is, the cheap city really occupies the natural danger, how the generals who defend the city are brave and good at fighting, when relying on the natural danger of the gorges on both sides, they want to block the army of Haobei outside, and cut off their thoughts of going south to seize power.

It's just wishful thinking.

Han Qi is not a person with empty ambitions and no brains, on the contrary, in his heart, no one can imagine how many calculations are hidden. Therefore, in the battle of Yicheng, Han Qi's real thinking was just to use the defenders of Yicheng and the natural danger of Yicheng to consume a large number of troops of the Haobei army. As long as the strength of the Haobei army is sharply reduced, in the future battle, the city army going south will be relatively easy.

Yicheng, like the city to the north of the Henghe River, is nothing more than an obstacle.

It's just that this city can play a far more obstacle than any previous city.

Han Qi's real calculation in her heart, Xiao Chuxuan is clear, and it is precisely because she has guessed clearly, so she must not follow Han Qi's thoughts, and let the soldiers of the Haobei army throw their lives in the gorge and mountains outside Yicheng in vain.

Xiao Chushu can't do this kind of thing in vain, but Yicheng is a city that the Haobei army must seize when it goes south.

Therefore, if he wants to take this city, Xiao Chusu can only find other ways and think of other strategies. And the strategy she thought of should now be done.

Under the protection of Lu Zheng and Li Long, Xiao Chu left the barracks silently. Although the battle situation is tight now, he may die at any time, but he is protected by two generals by his side, and the general Rao is Yicheng knows that the Haobei military division has stolen out of the barracks, and it is difficult to take his life. What's more, Xiao Chusu has always been secretive, and wants to guess her whereabouts and thoughts in advance.

It's not a trivial task.

What they had to do when they left the army this time was about whether the army of Haobei could take Yicheng with minimal losses. The stakes matter, and naturally the fewer people who know her whereabouts, the better.

Stepping on the stone road, with the support of the trees born on the mountain stream, Xiao Chusu followed Lu Zheng and Li Long to climb among the mountains and forests. In the mountain and forest, it took them a whole day to ride a horse so far, so they had to ride a horse to come here, but because the mountain was really steep, it was difficult for the horses to go up the mountain, so the three of them could only abandon the horses and climb on foot.

suddenly received the military order to send Xiao Chusu here with Lu Zheng, Li Long had no idea at all. Now that the two armies are fighting, it is the most important thing, but the military division of his family is not in the camp thinking about how to capture Yicheng, but asks them to accompany her here to climb the mountain. Li Long, who stupidly called people over without a solution, didn't mention panicking in his heart along the way.

Now that the mountain has been climbed halfway, the two people on this side didn't say a word, and the more he couldn't figure it out, General Li couldn't help it for a long time. Directly kicked on the stone on the way, and then looked up at the winding mountain road above, squinting for a moment, Li Long shouted at the top of his voice.

"His grandmother's, it's okay to climb this broken mountain, this road is too difficult to walk. I said Xiao Junshi, it's okay, why are you doing this, why are you climbing this mountain road? ”

Instead of commanding the war in the army, but being afraid of this broken mountain, General Li of course complained here. And his full stomach of complaints was exchanged for Lu Zheng on the side: "What's wrong? This is just a mountain road, isn't it difficult for General Li? Xiao Jun's female and soft people have never complained of hardship until now, and General Li's dignified nine-foot man can't bear this hardship, and it's too inferior. ”

What is Li Long complaining about, how can Lu Zheng not know, he is still choking at this moment, how not to annoy this violent temper. At that moment, the voice was raised, and Li Long scolded: "His grandmother's Lu Zheng, dare to say that I am not as good as a girl, what do I want to say, you kid will not know." I just can't figure it out, now that Yicheng hasn't been beaten yet, how can Xiao Junshi be so interested, I'm afraid that this scab will break the mountain, what the hell is it. ”

He has a bad brain, and if others don't explain, he really can't figure out the secret. For today's actions, Li Long really felt that Xiao Chuxuan was okay and was interested, and he came here simply to climb the mountain. It's just that the military plane is ahead, who may have the mind to wait for boredom. Therefore, for Li Long's brainless words, Lu Zheng had no explanation except for a sarcastic smile.

He didn't pay attention to it at all, but paused for a few steps and waited for Xiao Chu to step forward, and then Lu Zheng said: "Xiao Junshi, it's probably around here." ”

"General Lu is sure?"

Climbing along the way is extremely laborious, such a tortuous and steep mountain, ordinary men have to complain about it when they climb it, not to mention Xiao Chusu, who is the eldest lady who is pampered at first glance. As they climbed all the way, Xiao Chusu's body was also tired, but although she was extremely tired, but when she got here, she didn't show it, except for her extremely pale face, Xiao Chusu didn't say anything, she just turned white, and asked him a sentence that might be sure that the purpose was nearby.

However, a weak woman can hold on to this, for Xiao Chusu, with the accumulation of time to get along, Lu Zheng has long admired in his heart. People are very admirable, but it is impossible for Lu Zheng to say words of admiration in front of others, so he just praised it in his heart, and Lu Zheng said.

"The last general is sure that it is here, and when Xiao Junshi gave the order, the last general has already sent spies out to investigate, and it can be determined that it is around here."

"Since it can be determined that this is nearby, then General Lao Lu and General Li are looking around."

Since it can be determined that it is around here, of course, it is impossible to waste any more time, so Xiao Chuxuan directly asked the two of them. Xiao Chuxuan and Lu Zheng said everything here, and they said it casually, but they wronged Li Long on the side, and they didn't understand what these two people were talking about after listening to it for a long time. Directly stunned there, looking left and right for a moment, Li Long, who really couldn't stand it, finally pulled his throat and shouted again.

"What the hell are you two playing! Come to this mountain, what do you want us to find, Master Xiao? ”

He didn't say anything, he was a tendon master, and he couldn't guess what this smart man was thinking in his heart. Li Long muttered this because he really couldn't guess clearly, and in order not to waste time, after Li Long scolded him, Xiao Chuxuan said directly.

"Find water."

"Water source?" Directly stunned, Li Long said: "What are you doing with this water source?" ”

No one explained, he was very surprised, but it was a pity that no one seemed to have time to explain to him now, looking at Xiao Chusu and Lu Zheng, who began to look around after the words fell, after another shouting, Li Long could only curse a few times, and then followed him to find it together.

Since the spies have come to report that the water source is hidden here, it will be here, there is no doubt about it. So the three of them only searched for half an hour, and finally found the water source.

Looking for the source of the water and looking at the clear and shining lake in front of him, Xiao Chuxuan asked, "General Lu, is this the place?" ”

"That's right!" After a slight pause, Lu Zheng said: "This is the upper reaches of the river spring that Xiao Junshi is looking for. ”

"The spring river under the mountain, all originating from here?"

"All here?"

"The place in Yicheng drinks the river spring, and it is the same?"

"Exactly!"

Looking at this lake and Qinghe, although Xiao Chu was asking, he was already thinking about it in his heart. Xiao Chuxuan came here, not because he ran out to climb the mountain because he was idle as Li Long said, but because he came to the source of this water.

What the military advisor of the Haobei Army wanted to do, Lu Zheng knew, but Li Long didn't guess it. Listening to the two of you talking to the side, this made General Li, who had been stunned all day, really unhappy now. Immediately, it was difficult to bear it, and Li Long directly pulled his throat and muttered.

"I said you two, what are you talking about, don't you say a word to me all these dumb riddles, okay? I don't understand. ”

If they continue like this, Li Long is afraid that he will really go crazy, and in order to prevent Li Long from going crazy, after he said this, Lu Zheng said: "Everything is left in front of you, isn't it clear yet?" ”

"Ming? What do I want to know? ”

"Xiao Junshi's clever strategy."

"What's the idea?"

"Shun the water, take the medicine, and destroy Yicheng."

If you haven't figured out what Xiao Chuxuan wants to do just now, then now, even if Li Long really has no brains, it should be clear now. That is, after a little flurging, Li Long, who quickly understood, shouted directly.

"What? Xiao Chuxuan wants to drug and destroy Yicheng? ”

"Exactly!" Li Long's voice muttered Xiao Chusu's strategy, and the voice reverberated far away in the forest, and after the sound subsided, Xiao Chuxuan was pale and replied calmly.

"That's right, I just want to poison this water source and let the Yicheng guards obediently obey them. Yicheng Jintang is stubbornly defended, and there are natural dangers in front of the city as a basis, and the current defenders of Yicheng swear to live and die with Yicheng, so it is too difficult to capture Yicheng. Even if our Haobei army is really fierce and will not take time to set foot in Yicheng, the cost of the troops required during this period is also very great. Haobei's goal is the power of Kyoto, not this small Yicheng, if you consume too much on Yicheng, it will be very disadvantageous for us in the future. ”

At this point, he couldn't help but pause, and after a slight pause, Xiao Chu continued: "Wasting too much on a city is something that only a fool can do. Han Qi didn't intend to stop us here with this Yicheng at all, but wanted to consume a lot of the strength of the Haobei army. He thinks so, and we are not fools, so why should we weigh his mind and follow his delusions. Yicheng is a city, and the vast army will take it, but it will never follow the method that Han Qi wants, and the strong army will suppress it. The Yicheng guards consciously relied on natural danger to block the Haobei army from the gorge mountain? Oh, it's delusional. The more they feel like this, the more I have to go against their thinking, I don't need to spend a single soldier, I want Yicheng to open the city gate by himself, and welcome me into Haobei. ”

Han Qi wanted to take this opportunity to shrink the strength of the Haobei Army in large quantities, but Xiao Chu was stunned and disagreed with him. She wanted Haobei to take Yicheng directly without spending soldiers.

When the words fell, the person also took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve, pulled out the stopper that was stuffed on the medicine jar, Xiao Chu shook the medicine bottle in his hand lightly, and looked at the pond lake in front of him.

The porcelain vase in his hand doesn't look big, but the things contained in it are enough to subvert a war. Looking at the porcelain vase in Xiao Chusu's hand, Li Long was stunned for a moment before asking.

"Xiao Junshi, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Medicine!"

"What medicine?"

"The medicine that can make the Yicheng guards lose their resistance and obediently be captured."

After speaking, he stepped forward with a bottle of medicine, and slowly poured the medicine in his hand into the water, just like that, watching the scattered powder mist fall, falling into the lake little by little, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"It doesn't take a single soldier, although there are many methods, but if you want to make all the Yicheng guards lose their resistance, there is no other way to do it better. The defenders of Yicheng relied on the natural danger of the gorge and the mountain to stabilize the opportunity, so that the army of Haobei could not directly seize the attack. They have high morale and swear to live and die with Yicheng, so let's just follow their minds as soon as possible, wouldn't it be better for everyone. ”

The natural danger is ahead, it is difficult to take it by a strong attack alone, and the defenders of Yicheng are cautious masters, and it is obviously not easy to take medicine in the water source near Yicheng. That's why Xiao Chuxuan asked Lu Zheng to send spies to find the source of the river and directly drug the source.

Medicine, naturally, is used to entertain the guards of Yicheng, but there are not only guards in Yicheng, but also many people.

Therefore, the medicine that enters the spring is also carefully selected.

Scattered all the medicine in the bottle into the water, and when all the medicine powder in the bottle was melted, Xiao Chuxuan accepted the porcelain bottle and said.

"If you want to enter Yicheng, it is impossible for the Yicheng guards, but the two generals can rest assured, although Chu Su said that if you want to let the Yicheng guards tie their hands and obediently let them out of the city, but the medicine in the spring is not a deadly poison."

After a pause at this point, Xiao Chu continued to say: "It's a laxative, the prince seizes power, and he plays the banner of the Mandate of Heaven, since the prince is the true son of Jiguo, of course he can't do things that slaughter the people." The medicine in the spring is actually just a very strong laxative, which will only make people suffer from unbearable abdominal pain, but it will never harm people's lives, so even if Yicheng takes it, it will not have much impact on the reputation of the prince. ”

What she wants is Yicheng, and it's just Yicheng.

Since this is the only case, how can it harm the lives of the people of Yicheng? After all, if the people of Yicheng are injured, it will also be detrimental to the reputation of King Xiaoyao.

If it is not good for the king of Xiaoyao, it will naturally benefit Hanqi, and this kind of thing will harm himself and others.

Xiao Chuxuan naturally wouldn't do it.
