Chapter 81: Flooding the Enemy
"Old General Huang, I think that back then, you and the King of Jingbei were called me the Great Xia Shuangbi, and the military martial arts should not be under it, right?"
Lin Qingtian's eyes were a little more expectant, and the only thing he could rely on now was the old general in front of him.
Huang Jinzhong sighed helplessly and coughed violently.
"The old man is over ninety years old, and his spirit and physical strength are not as good as before, and this expedition is also carrying a coffin."
"To be able to help His Majesty quell the Jiangnan rebellion, I am already emaciated, and if I want to go north again, I will be a little powerless."
Lin Qingtian's breathing was slightly short, and at the moment, the only person in the court who could command the three armies for him was probably the old general in front of him.
In any case, Huang Jinzhong is his aunt and grandfather, otherwise he would not have gone out of the mountain.
"General, since this is the case, then the war in Jiangnan is please, is there any good strategy to quell the rebellion in the shortest possible time?"
Huang Jinzhong looked at the map, and then stopped his eyes on an estuary.
"The only way to do this now is to attack with water."
Lin Qingtian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly came to him.
"Does the old general have a plan?"
Huang Jinzhong nodded, and then pointed upstream.
"The location where the coalition of princes camped was in a low-lying area, and this place was once a river."
"If we can plug the upstream and dig a small ditch on the right, we can channel the flood water into the enemy camp."
"At that time, the army of the princes will be able to defeat itself."
Lin Qingtian suddenly became excited: "Good plan!" ”
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and looked up at Huang Jinzhong sharply.
"General, did you plan this plan from the beginning? When I look at the map of the march in the past two days, it seems that they are deliberately leading the alliance of princes into the river valley. ”
Huang Jinzhong bowed slightly: "The combat strength of the armies of all parties is insufficient, and the old man can only make this decision." ”
"It is a sin not to tell Your Majesty beforehand."
Lin Qingtian waved his hand, looking extremely generous.
"It's okay, after this battle, I will make the old general king!"
Huang Jinzhong exhaled turbid breath slightly, didn't say anything more, and immediately arranged his troops.
Youzhou, Jicheng.
Qin Zhan gathered his generals in one place, his face solemn.
"Yu'er has sent news that Uliangha has been destroyed, and from now on, the vast land in the eastern part of the grassland will be ours."
Everyone present suddenly became excited and gathered around them.
"Lord Wang, the prince now has the same prestige as the immortal heaven on the grassland, as long as he raises his arms, hundreds of thousands of grassland elites will gather in Youzhou."
"Why don't we take this opportunity to go south and chase the Central Plains!"
……
Qin Zhan couldn't see the slightest excitement on his face, but was a little worried.
"Although we have a vast amount of land, the population is too small, and the supply of food and grass is also a big problem."
"Besides, I just won Youzhou, and the places are not very stable, if I go south at this time, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate."
Everyone nodded, didn't say anything more, and pushed them aside.
Qin Zhan glanced at the map again, then looked up at the herald in front of him.
"Where is the prince now?"
"Back to the prince, when he came down, the prince was still in the tent of the stone country, and now I don't know."
Qin Zhan couldn't help frowning, and the worry on his face was even worse.
Although Qin Yu has achieved such gratifying results in such a short period of time.
But after all, he was still a young and vigorous young man, and if he continued his westward expedition, it was very likely that the other tribes of the steppe would unite him.
At that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Pass it on, gather troops from all over the country to Youzhou, and guard against the attack of the imperial court at any time."
Everyone present did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all responded and retreated.
Qin Zhan sat on the chair and sighed, then turned his head to look at the world map next to him.
"The world!"
"I didn't expect the old man to have to fight for the world at this age."
Northern steppe, Hahetai tribe.
Qin Yu stood by the river, his face was quite strange.
"What do you mean is that General Wei got lost and attacked in the wrong direction, destroying more than a dozen tribes along the way, and approaching the northern border of Beiliang."
The herald next to him nodded repeatedly, and then sent several war reports to him.
"General Wei also encountered two caravans on the way, and with their help, the surrounding herdsmen took refuge."
Qin Yu took a look at the battle report, and he was also shocked.
The two armies of Yelu Hongtian and Wei Zhang went in the wrong direction from the beginning.
Wei Zhang made a big circle all the way to the north, and Yelu Hongtian's march route was southerly.
The two armies coincidentally bypassed Qin Yu's main direction of attack.
But fortunately, they met on the border of Beiliang, and the two armies combined amounted to 200,000.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Qin Yu was also excited, he really didn't expect the two tiger generals under his command to be so able to fight.
"Order, let them come back, now is not the time to destroy Bei Liang."
Qin Yu looked at the long river in front of him and took a deep breath.
"Shizi? Lao Tzu inexplicably crossed over here, but I can't bear the title of a son of the world for the rest of my life, if I want to be the biggest, I have to be the biggest. ”
"Let's start with this grassland!"
Now that spring and summer are at the junction, even the ice and snow in Ningguta are gradually dissipating.
The local mountain people who were given land have reclaimed the wasteland.
"The army of the prince is back!"
I don't know who shouted, and cheers rang out in the fields.
"See the Son!"
Qin Yu greeted the people with a smile, walked slowly forward, and soon arrived at the foot of Shengrui City.
After Qin Zhan settled Youzhou, he also chose to return to Shengrui City.
In the past six months, with a large number of people gathering in Shengrui City, the scale here has expanded several times.
The surrounding fields have also been put to good use, and villages of all sizes have sprung up.
"Yu'er!"
Qin Zhan opened his arms and greeted him happily.
"I really didn't expect you to achieve such a huge result in this battle!"
Qin Yu immediately saluted: "Grandpa has won the prize!" ”
"You also took Youzhou City bloodlessly."
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and then strode into the city.
In the main hall, everyone gathered together, and several pots with stoves were neatly arranged, steaming.
Qin Zhan passed, and everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses and stood up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the power we control now is enough to win the Central Plains, but unfortunately now is not the best time, we have to find a way to stabilize the rear, so that we can have no distractions in the southern expedition."
As soon as the words came out, everyone present suddenly became excited.
Among them, there are many who are haunted by the sudden retreat to the north.
