Chapter 465: A Clever Plan is a Poisonous Plan!
If you want to enter through the west gate, you must first pass through the moat, in peacetime, there is a drawbridge to enter, in wartime, the drawbridge rises and covers the city gate, there is no way to go, and there is only one road outside the east gate, this road is very narrow, can only accommodate five people side by side, and this road is in the valley, Huaicheng people can climb to the valley, stone.
According to legend, Yan Taizu Yan Wuxian blocked hundreds of thousands of Liang troops on this road!
Bai Qi was silent for a while, and then said indifferently: "It's not difficult to take Huaicheng, there are two options to choose!" ”
"Oh?" Ying Chang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but turn to face Bai Qi and asked, "Tell me quickly, those two choices?" ”
"Flood Huaicheng!" Bai Qi confided softly with an expressionless face.
"Flooded Huaicheng?" Ying Chang was slightly stunned, and said with a stunned tone: "What kind of drowning method?" ”
Huaicheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is surrounded by water, it seems that it is in the downstream, in fact, Huaicheng is located in the upstream, since ancient times, it has always been water to the low place, never the water to the high place, want to flood Huaicheng, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
But these words were not spoken, because he wanted to be curious about how Bai Qi came up with the idea of flooding Huaicheng.
Bai Qi raised his finger with bone spurs exposed, and gently clicked on the West Queen Mother River thirty miles northwest of Huaicheng, this West Queen Mother River is the largest river in the Yan Empire, a tributary of the Wei River, and the west water of the Huaicheng Moat is a small tributary of the West Queen Mother River.
"Mobilize tens of thousands of people to build dams and barrages in the lower reaches of the West Queen Mother River, not only that, but also block other tributaries of the nearby West Queen Mother River, and the West Water cannot be blocked, not only can it not be blocked, but also widen the West Water River at the diversion of the West Water and the West Queen Mother River, and dam the downstream and other tributaries, the water level of the West Queen Mother River will definitely rise, the water level of the West Queen Mother River will rise, and the widened West Water Flow River will bear all the water volume!"
"These amounts of water will come to the moat of Huaicheng along the West Water River, the moat is not big, it can't hold a huge amount of water at all, a large amount of river water will directly flood Huaicheng, and even the downstream of Huaicheng will be irrigated by the river, the city will be destroyed, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" Bai Qi's eyes were indifferent, and his cold voice was chilling.
Ying Chang's face showed a look of shock that was difficult to hide, because this method was really wonderful!
Flooding Huaicheng will only consume labor, will not lose the soldiers, and it will not cost a soldier to capture Huaicheng, it can be called a clever plan, but this clever plan is too poisonous, even a clever plan is also a poisonous plan, Huaicheng has a population of 80,000, plus the Yan army, at least 100,000 people will die.
The villages and counties in the lower reaches of Huaicheng will also be irrigated by the river, and when the time comes, not only more than 100,000 people will die, but 200,000 or 300,000 people will definitely die, and a large number of fertile land houses will also be washed away.
"How long does it take to do these things?" Yingchang asked.
Although this strategy is very poisonous, but whatever, war, everything is based on victory, the people of the world want to blame, let them blame Emperor Yan, who made him brainless and cheap, but to provoke Daqin.
"At least a year!"
"Forget it, let's talk about another plan!"
As soon as he heard the time, Ying Chang didn't want to directly deny it, in five months, the Kyushu Feast Ceremony would be held, and now the time left for Ying Chang was only three months, and if he couldn't reach the Wuyang Imperial Capital within three months, he would have to return to the court and return to Xianyang overnight, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up with the Kyushu Feast Ceremony!
As the organizer of the Kyushu Feast Ceremony, Daqin, as the Emperor of Daqin, naturally cannot be absent, otherwise it will not be rude, but will be put on the name of despising the countries of Kyushu, a title that the Great Qin Empire cannot afford for the time being.
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile helplessly, he knew that Ying Chang would not adopt this plan, it was not that he thought Ying Chang was soft-hearted, but that it was too long, and after a little silence, he immediately said: "Another option is to attack, the moat of Huaicheng is only three zhang wide, I can jump over, the four-zhang high city wall, I can also jump up, as long as I enter Huaicheng and cut the suspension bridge chain, the Xuanjia army can enter the city!" ”
"Although there are many Yan troops, as long as I enter Huaicheng, it will definitely make the Yan army feel in turmoil, especially among these Yan troops, many of them are stragglers of the Great Wall in the northwest of Yan, and I have a certain fear of me, although this plan is not said to be ten percent sure, but still seventy percent sure!"
"This plan works, so let's do it!" Yingchang agreed without hesitation.
Bai Qi is so confident, he can't do it if he doesn't agree, and besides, there is no good way except this method.
"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, tomorrow at dawn, break Huaicheng!" Bai Qi is calm and decisive!
The corners of Yingchang's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled evilly!
Yan He, who was inspecting the defense on the city wall of Huaicheng, shivered inexplicably.
"Report!"
At this time, there was an urgent report outside the tent, Ying Chang and Bai Qi glanced at each other, slowly opened the curtain and walked out of the tent, as soon as they came out of the tent, Ying Chang and Bai Qi saw a man wearing a soldier uniform standing in front of them.
Seeing that this man was wearing an officer and soldier uniform, Ying Chang knew that he was from Xianyang and was a messenger sent by the imperial court, because if it was a messenger sent by the military camp, he was wearing armor.
As soon as the messenger saw Ying Changbai come out in person, he couldn't help but be surprised, and after being surprised, he hurriedly knelt on one knee and raised his hand with a respectful expression: "Liu Quanfu, the messenger of the Ministry of Rites, greets Your Majesty and King Wu!" ”
"Get up and speak!" Ying Chang raised his hand and looked at Liu Quanfu expressionlessly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Quanfu thanked him, got up from the ground, and then took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Ying Chang with both hands, Ying Chang took the letter, and probably glanced at the envelope, which was printed with the Great Seal of the Ministry of Rites and the Great Seal of the Ministry of Rites, and the letter was written by Kong Wen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
Ministry of Rites?
Ying Chang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, originally thought it was Chang Zifei or Zhang Feizi sent someone from the Ministry of Rites, but I didn't expect it to be sent by the Ministry of Rites, it's really strange, what can the Ministry of Rites do to report to themselves, is it possible that Chang Zifei and Zhang Feizi can't get it?
"If there is no word, you can go down and rest first!" Ying Chang glanced at Liu Quanfu and said.
Liu Quanfu bent down to salute, turned around and retreated, and after Liu Quanfu retreated, Ying Chang opened the letter, took out the letter paper in the letter, the letter was folded, shook it a few times, shook off the letter paper, and then took a closer look.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!
The Great Qin envoy to Yan was killed? None of the corpses?
"Damn!"
Tear! Tear and pull!
Yingchang roared angrily, his eyes breathed fire, and he angrily tore the letter to shreds and threw it to the ground!
