One Hundred and Six: The Battle of Linyi (1)

Those main battle factions applauded one after another, but Yun Tianci said, "What's the best of this strategy? Even if our navy is fast enough to take Jinling directly, who can guarantee that he Shangguan Zimo will not stop the offensive? If the other party does not go back to help, but defends it, then even if we defeat Jinling, the other party can go south to Huai'an, the old nest of the Situ family, to take refuge, and what about us? There is only one Linzi in the Qi country, if the other party attacks desperately, this kind of division of troops will undoubtedly make us mess up, if the court intervenes in it at that time, then what awaits the Qi country is only destruction! ”

Yun Tianci's words were alarmist at first heard, but it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully, and now the Yue Kingdom occupies Xuzhou, and the result is that people want to beat you and beat you, and they don't want to beat you and retreat, but Qi wants to go abroad to fight Xuzhou is inevitably tired, and when you arrive in Xuzhou, you are afraid that it will be enough to be tired and half dead. It is estimated that the imperial court can only suffer dumb losses, which is originally a first-come, first-served thing, but the old King of Qi is too careful, and he has to go to the capital to let the prince of Qi go to ask for a performance to show his sincerity......

In fact, in the final analysis, it is the character of the King of Qi, he relied on martial arts to be favored by Emperor Yunxuan, and was given the surname of the king, but it was inevitably said that he was a poor soldier, so in his later years, he also established a school, and he abandoned martial arts and literature, and did some vassal and elegant things for a long time, such as tea ceremony, poetry and songs, celebrity calligraphy and painting, etc., but it was not good at learning, and it was precisely because of the mediocrity of King Qi that Qi missed the opportunity, but these courtiers naturally also saw the pain in their eyes. It's also helpless to mess around like this with your boss!

But when Yun Tianci said this, King Qi fell into confusion again, and his scheming personality made it easy for him to listen to other people's ideas, and he was still boasting about the clever plans of the prime minister and the general, but now he changed his words and said: "It's still God-given insight, waiting for you old horseman, do you want to harm the widow?!! ”

"I ......"

Tian Guang was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say, at this time Yun Tianci said while the iron was hot: "Grandpa, they are old, it is inevitable that they will estimate themselves when they think about things, so as to be private and not public, Tian Guang is just to leave his reputation in the annals of history in the future, not to mention General Wang Teng, the status of the military generals in the Taiping and prosperous times is low, he can only make his position permanent only by advocating war, they are all selfish, for today's plan only we ourselves are the most reliable!" ”

Yun Tianci's words were heart-wrenching, so that King Qi immediately took the case and said, "Okay! Yun Tianci obeyed the order, and from now on, he ordered you to take over this matter and be fully responsible! ”

"Yes, I will not fail in my mission!"

Then Yun Tianci turned around and brushed his sleeves away, behind him was the pointing of such a civil and military general, but it didn't matter, what he lacked now was a merit that inspired the government and the opposition, as long as this thing was done, then his identity as the heir of King Qi would be confirmed!

The flowers bloom with one branch at each end

At this time, outside Linyi City, Xu Mad pointed to the towering city tower in front of him, and said to Shangguan Zimo on the side: "General, look, that side is Linyi City, as long as you conquer this place, the gateway to the south of Qi will be opened, and then the general will stick to the strong wall and clear the wilderness here, and at that time, the sword of Yue will be completely on the neck of Qi State!" ”

Xu Madness said a murderous gesture, and at this time Shangguan Zimo smiled rudely: "Hahahaha, okay, but I think I should have a better choice, Mr. Xu, Sister She's very appreciative of Your Excellency, sure enough, today is quite insightful, so according to Mr. Smith's opinion, how should we conquer this place?" "Century

Now that the two families are grasshoppers on a rope, Shangguan Zimo is naturally happy to ask Xu Mad to give advice, after all, he has also heard that even a person as arrogant as Shangguan Ziyu has to deal with it carefully, he should not be a nameless rat, he must be a brilliant man with a good heart and a good plan, not to mention...... Shangguan Ziying asked him to fight Qi Guo for another purpose......

Xu Mad saw Shangguan Zimo asking for a plan, so he turned over and dismounted, took out two copper coins for divination, and looked up at the somewhat cloudy weather, so he said: "Don't worry, the general should not be in a hurry, you can order the soldiers to find a place close to the water source and set up camp, wait for me to ride my horse to explore the surroundings, and inform the general of the strategy of breaking the enemy!" ”

"Sir, please!"

Shangguan Zimo saw that he was a little tricky, so he didn't break it, after all, one person has a way of living, compared to Shangguan Ziying's scheming female hero, he is much more straightforward, so he is destined to be a general, so half an hour passed, and then Xu led the horse to pace on the wasteland, Xu Ling followed uneasy, and asked: "Mr. Xu, what is your good plan, such a mysterious and secret, and also, what are we doing here?" ”

At this time, in a barren hill, Xu Mad looked at Linyi City in the distance, glanced at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and then took out a map from his arms, pressed the four corners with a stone, and somehow took out a compass, his left hand steadied it, and his right hand was pinching and pinching, and his mouth kept chanting words, and then looked at a river in the distance, and said: "Hey, the water power is insufficient, too narrow!" ”

"Hydraulic?"

Xu Ling asked curiously, "Sir, should you want to use water to attack?" Although Linyi City is built along the river, its terrain is much higher than the surrounding wasteland, and it is impossible to gather water potential! Xu Ling didn't do anything, and began to deny Xu Yan's idea, but he didn't care, just said indifferently: "There is nothing impossible in this world, the difference is that others can't do it, but I can!" ”

Xu Madness kicked a small pebble to a reasonable point, causing a slight splash, and that insignificant feeling made Xu Ling feel that he was talking big, and then Xu Madness turned over and shouted at Xu Ling: "Let's go, we should go back!" ”

Xu Mad seemed reluctant to talk more, different from the crazy look in front of the person, and now he was very quiet, Xu Ling followed her quietly, half a horse's position away from her, the two walked for a while, and unconsciously came to the upper reaches of the Linyi River, and now it has not reached the flood season, the river is calm, but Xu Mad said: "Sure enough, it is good with me, it is really a godsend fighter!" ”

Then Xu Mad rode back to the camp, and talked to Shangguan Zimo about this strategy to break the city in the tent, Xu Mad had a very simple idea, that is, let the soldiers use sandbags to cut off the upstream river, due to the weather, he expected that there would be rain within two days, in order to accumulate water potential, and when the embankment was demolished, then the Linyi River would swallow Linyi City like a water dragon falling from the sky, and then the raft could be prepared in advance to go down the river, and the city wall they relied on would also be flat at that time!

It's just that this was all denied by Shangguan Zimo, and in the handsome tent, Xu Mad gave out all his thoughts, only to see Shangguan Zimo sitting in front of the handsome case, with doubts in his eyes, but he was embarrassed to veto it directly, and he pondered for a moment, and said reluctantly: "This seems to be a little difficult?" You must know that what we want in this battle is momentum and quick victory, and now regardless of the high terrain of Linyi City and the river from top to bottom, we have to take a detour to dig up soil and store water, what if the enemy army comes? ”

Xu Mad said: "It's just right to call, set traps along the way when digging the soil, the general sent troops to ambush, if the enemy comes to attack, the general can lead the troops to capture it, not to mention, we have conquered several cities in a row, the defender of Linyi City is called Li Wu, I read his resume when I was the chief bookkeeper of the military department, he did not enter the court as a general through martial arts, his father is the veteran Li You who followed the King of Qi to fight the world, this Li You died, Li Wu took over as the defender of Linyi City, this person is suspicious and deceitful, such a temperament I expect him not to dare to go out of the city, The general can rest assured that the sappers will be sent to work, and the rain will come tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, and tomorrow at the latest! Please don't delay the fighter, general! ”
