During the civil strife in Beixin, he happened to be in hiding and hiding, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to Beixin to meet Beiyi Yuanjian, who was also in a downturn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Fortunately, the fighting on the Beixin side has subsided, and when this side stabilizes, he will have to go anyway.

The most important thing at the moment is to break through this Shengtong City.

"If you don't take Shengtong, no matter how many troops you have, it won't help."

Shengtong City is not big, but the terrain is very peculiar. Surrounded by mountains, there are criss-crossing canyon cracks everywhere on the mountain, some of which are inconspicuous, and some of which are abysses.

There are many roads leading to the city, but during the rainy season, more than half of them are swallowed up by the rivers that rise up in the mountains, so in autumn, the roads that are usually bridged become the main roads.

Shengtong City has a river that runs through the whole city, and the river meanders all the way down from Tongming Mountain, which is thirty miles away from the city, and is also the main source of water for the people in the city.

The war is tense, and Shengtong City at this moment has long been confined by Yuan Hongyi. It is now the rainy season, and the usual roads have long been flooded into the river by the swelling river, and several suspension bridges and stone bridges that can lead to the city have also been demolished, leaving only a narrow bridge that is still open, but it has been sent by the imperial court with heavy troops.

Shengtong City, which was originally very easy to take, has now become the most tricky place, not to mention that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be regarded as a natural danger.

Yuan Hongxuan only hastily pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, and then put down the chopsticks in his hand. His gaze never took off the topographic map on the table, and his usually cold and indifferent face was inevitably overshadowed at this moment.

Pan Yiqian knew that he was worried about the war, and he had been racking his brains for several days to find a way, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was most appropriate to start with the only river that ran through the city.

"The only road in Shengtong City is also handled by a large number of officers and soldiers, if you start from there, the narrow bridge can be demolished in half an hour, even if it is captured, our soldiers and horses will not be able to cross in a short time, it is better to start with this river!"

Yuan Hongxuan looked along her plain white fingertips, and the place Pan Yiqian pointed out on the map happened to be the location of the river that ran through the city.

At this time, the few people who had been discussing matters with Yuan Hongxuan in the tent had all had dinner and came in together.

Lin Feng took the lead in surrounding him, and walked between Yuan Hongxuan and Pan Yiqian, separating the two.

"Here?" Yuan Hongxuan's tone was a little hesitant, he had thought about this breakthrough before, but the river that ran through Shengtong was only a small branch of Tongming Mountain, and it couldn't be regarded as a big river at all, not to mention that only small boats could barely travel on it, and big boats couldn't do it at all, so he excluded this place very early.

"This is it!" Pan Yiqian repeated it again with certainty, and the expression on his face was indescribably serious.

"Miss Pan, let's go back to your tent and rest, we have already discussed this breakthrough before, and all kinds of methods will not work." Lin Feng turned sideways and pouted at the surrounding men, the meaning was quite obvious, a woman should stay at home honestly and be a female celebrity.

"The river is shallow, and only small boats can travel in it, and this place is really not ideal if you want to enter it in one fell swoop. Miss doesn't know how to march and fight, so let's go back and rest early! One of the commanders of the Pan family army explained to Pan Yi with a smile and a gentle voice, clearly playing a round. My own eldest lady, I have to give a step down!

Pan Yiqian didn't care about Lin Feng's cynicism, she only raised her eyes, and said to Yuan Hongxuan, who was still thinking about the map on the side: "I don't mean to attack the city from the river, but to throw medicine into the river, let the city chaos first, and maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to take Shengtong." ”

Before Lin Feng could speak again, Yuan Hongxuan on the side answered: "What kind of medicine?" What's the mess? ”

Seeing Yuan Hongxuan's solemn expression, everyone suddenly became serious, and their eyes were all focused on Pan Yiqian.

"This river is the only river that runs through the entire Shengtong City, the people's living water usually comes from here, and the water flows down from the upstream of Tongming Mountain, which flows into the city, why don't we throw some disease-causing drugs into the city, the people in the city are sick, and the merchants in the city will definitely go out in large numbers to purchase medicines, and then maybe they will be able to take advantage of the chaos."

After Pan Yiqian finished speaking, Lin Feng, who was specially appetizing her, couldn't help but sneer.

"Your method is clearly the unsightly method, we are fighting with the court, not with the common people. Using such indiscriminate means to harm the common people, even if the entire city is captured, the common people will definitely not treat each other with a good face. Your Highness, you still don't listen to this woman's nonsense. ”

Even if Lin Feng's words were not very popular, he got to the point. Although the method that Pan Yiqian thought of was the best and most feasible at the moment, it was also the least feasible. The common people have always treated their disputes with the court as outsiders, but it is also the key.

If they had done so, there would have been a bottomless gap between them and the people, and this gap would not have been able to be filled for decades or more in the future.

Several commanders of the Pan family army felt that it was nothing, they were just ordered to come to help, and they couldn't think of any long-term plans at all. Moreover, Shengtong City is extremely difficult to capture now, if they don't want some effective ways to speed up the progress, they will want to go home to reunite with their relatives before the winter this year, maybe they will have to spend the New Year here.

Yuan Hongxuan didn't agree to this method in the end, and only sent everyone back.

When Lin Feng left, he didn't forget to play his dislike of Pan Yiqian's deep bone marrow, and muttered in a small voice to Pan Yiqian's back: "A woman is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge." ”

Pan Yi returned to the tent in a shallow manner, and couldn't help but have a little temper in his heart, he racked his brains and thought about it for so many days before he came up with such a seamless solution, but Yuan Hongxuan rejected it. She really couldn't understand what was going on in this man's head! Isn't her way good? Isn't it imperative to capture Shengtong City as soon as possible?

Pan Yiqian was still angry before falling asleep, and in this matter, she thought that Yuan Hongxuan was the benevolence of women.

On the official road leading to the center of the hinterland in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, you can see ordinary people from time to time who are carrying large and small burdens or pulling carts to move their families. The flames of war broke out, and the most affected were the innocent people, who had no shelter from the wind and rain, so they could only wander around with a few valuable belongings, humbly seeking a glimmer of hope for survival.

In a simple and narrow carriage, Miao Zhi, dressed in men's clothes, sat tightly together. (To be continued.) )
