After You Hongyin thought for two days, he finally decided to support Xu Dali.

Of course, this support is not to support him to seize/power or something, but to influence or even control Zhou Jilun through the identity of Xu Dali's personal guard.

Although Zhou Jilun has all kinds of bad things, there is one thing that is very popular. He is not very defensive against his own people. Even if his personal guards turn out to be a 'traitor', he will execute this 'assassin', the person he trusts the most. Still the 25 personal guards around him.

If Xu Dali gained certain rights, he could still take care of the people in their battalion, at least he wouldn't let them charge forward as cannon fodder or something.

In addition, You Hongyin felt that he had to find a way to obtain some military merits in order to have a chance to stand out and truly have the right to speak, otherwise, even if he had a lot of wisdom, it would be useless.

"Can this method work?" Xu Dali has been very anxious for the past two days. People who become monks halfway are always rejected. Originally, he was quite good as a bank manager. He can not only take care of his brothers from the same country, but also live the addiction of the boss. Now When he came to Zhou Jilun's side, he had to pretend to be a grandson all the time, and was always ridiculed and rejected by those gossips in the personal guards, so he was very annoyed.

"Naturally." You Hongyin said: "Even if General Zhou thinks this method is not feasible, you have shown your wisdom, and he will definitely trust you more."

Why did Nan Zhou rush to the battlefield ahead of time?It's not that they want to get Yingcheng, and even this kind of interest has made them invisible to the Daqi army who is watching from behind and reaping the profits.You Hongyin couldn't change this general trend, so he had to find a way to really capture Yingcheng in order to preserve his 2-strong team, otherwise Zhou Jilun would have to toss them all out in a few days.

Zhou Jilun sat next to the desk in the big tent, thinking hard on the newly redrawn map.

Several thousand commanders were not there, and Li Rui, the military supervisor, was injured again. Zhou Jilun could only think of the battle plan by himself, and the ones who accompanied him were the more favored ones in his personal guards.

"Qian Biao, what do you think of our empty city plan?"

Qian Biao immediately said: "The general's strategy is ingenious, and such a profound strategy as the empty city strategy can be imagined."

"How can you use an empty city plan without a city. I'm just talking casually." Zhou Jilun waved his hand in disgust: "Go farther away, I will become stupid when I am with you."

"Hey, I, Qian Biao, am just a big bastard, I don't understand these things."

And Xu Dali stood outside the tent, listening to this kind of conversation, feeling very embarrassed. Even an illiterate person like himself understands that things like war can't be carried out according to the strategy in the book. After such a comparison, Xu Dali became more confident in Kid Yun's strategy.

The current commander in chief of Yingcheng is Guan Xiangtian. After Xifan's founding heroes, the Guan family has guarded the border for generations. Even though the Xifan royal family has become increasingly incompetent, they have never touched the housekeeper, and the housekeeper is worthy of such trust. They are full of loyalty, Never forming a party for personal gain, only loyal to the lord of Xifan.

"Is there any news from the Golden Palace?" Guan Chong asked.

The deputy shook his head.

Guan Chong sighed: "It seems that Wei Guo can't be counted on."

The deputy said sadly and angrily: "Now Da Qi is in full swing, and the domestic forces of Da Wei have to suppress the country of Di, and it is impossible to lend a helping hand. The king just didn't expect that Nan Zhou was so short-sighted, not to mention joining hands with me, Xi Fan, to fight against Qi. Turn around and attack us. They are really not afraid, the next one to destroy the country will be their Nan Zhou."

Guan Chong said: "The general trend of the world is irreversible, I only hope that this time we can rely on the terrain to keep the Qi and Zhou coalition forces out of the country."

Hearing this, the deputy smiled a little: "However, it is good for the people of Southern Zhou to be stupid. When are those rabble-rousing generals going to clean up?"

Guan Chong shook his head: "Although nearly 5000 of them have been killed before, Li Rui is not easy to deal with."

"But didn't the spies send the news that he has been deprived of military power? It is said that he has been seriously injured. It has been such a long time and he is still bedridden. He just watched that prince mess around." The deputy was puzzled: "We Why not take advantage of this opportunity and simply swallow these 2 people, so as to prepare for the future confrontation with the coalition forces."

Guan Chong said: "Don't be reckless. The leader of Daqi this time is the general Xia Houlie. Although he is old, he has followed the emperor of Daqi since he was a child to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions to the establishment of Qi. , is deeply trusted by the emperor of Qi. This man is skilled in bow and horse, and his accuracy in grasping the battle situation is second to none. It must be that Daqi made up his mind to swallow me, Xifan. He has fought all his life, and it is impossible for him to let Nan Zhou follow Daqi to pick up cheap ones.

The deputy was at a loss.

They ate the [-] heads that were given away for free in Yingcheng. What does it have to do with this general of the Qi State.

Guan Chong glanced at him, sighed and said, "If we really swallow all the 2 people outside, then Prince Rui, who is leading the army in Western Zhou Dynasty this time, is going to fight me to the death." On the city wall, looking at the Western Zhou camp in the distance: "What I'm afraid of is that if the Western Zhou Dynasty fights with us, Xiahou Lie of Qi will definitely seize the opportunity, and he will probably bypass my Yingcheng and go straight to Feiyuanguan. The terrain of Yuanguan is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also difficult for us to build a strong checkpoint. After so many years of careful construction, this pass can only have [-] soldiers. I am afraid that it will be eaten by force. At that time, should The city becomes an isolated and helpless city, and the natural barrier in central Shu also loses its effect, and even the Golden Palace will be threatened."

The deputy said hesitantly: "But when the coalition forces arrive, it will be very difficult for us in Yingcheng to carry them over."

"So, defending Yingcheng to the death of this coalition army that came from afar is what we have to do at the risk of our lives."

Not only the deputy, but all the soldiers on the city wall who heard this sentence said with enthusiasm: "No!"

However, before all the soldiers and people in the city were united to fight against foreign enemies and protect the homeland behind them, four days later at night, bursts of thunder-like rumbles came from a distance, and before the people in the city could react, A look of despair climbed onto Guan Chong's face: "Why am I so stupid! I actually forgot about it! Zhou Jilun! I, Xifan, will never die with you!"

Half an hour later, a strong and unstoppable flood came rushing in, hitting the strong and tall city wall of Yingcheng.

In fact, among all types of battles, siege warfare is the most tragic battle.Whether it is the defending side or the attacking side, the battle cannot be ended without paying a huge price.If you want to successfully attack a city with a small number of troops, you can only rely on ingenuity.

You Hongyin observed the map. After the establishment of Yingcheng, the repair of the city wall has never stopped. In addition, the area is mountainous, it is easy to get stones, and the city wall is extremely strong. If you want to use a battering ram to break the door, or use a trebuchet to break it. Walls are unrealistic.He had considered sowing dissension, inciting the hearts of the army and the people in the city, or besieging the isolated city, cutting off water and food, but in the end, the effect was too slow and the effect was limited.

Finally, he settled on a plan.

water attack.

Yingcheng is located in a mountainous area, with a hot climate and abundant rainfall. In order to prevent mountain torrents, facilitate planting and irrigation, and facilitate the circulation of goods, a canal was dug here hundreds of years ago. This canal is not long, but it is connected to the Yangtze River. Down the river dam.It is now the spring flood season, and the water volume is sufficient. As long as the dam is broken, the flood will go straight to the lowest point. The surrounding area of ​​Yingcheng is relatively high. Even if it will not be submerged, it will definitely be drowned to death.

If other people were to lead the army, You Hongyin would not have proposed this strategy.

If Yingcheng is completely captured, the benefits will be great, but if it is flooded, it will basically be useless. Even if it is rebuilt in the future, it will take too much effort. Also lost the fruits of victory.

What's more, leaders will have other considerations more or less, and they will not do such a thing that ruins a city if they make a move, and they will scruple their own reputation.Therefore, throughout history, there are very few people who have come up with a plan to attack the water. It is not that these generals who have been fighting all the year round are not smart enough, nor are their staffs in the army too stupid. If you have harmed nature and reason, you will suffer retribution in the future.

But people like Zhou Jilun seem to be afraid of tarnishing their own reputation, afraid of hurting the world and suffering retribution in the future?

As for You Hongyin himself, hehe, he is even less afraid.Anyway, it was Xu Dali who made the plan, but Zhou Jilun was the one who actually executed it, so what did it have to do with him as a soldier.

Before the dyke was blasted, there were actually no people in the Southern Zhou military camp stationed outside Yingcheng, only a small number of Huotou soldiers and two walking people pretending to be active and smoked.The rest of the people, including Zhou Jilun, moved to the distant mountains together.Because You Hongyin specifically ordered this strategy not to be disclosed to anyone other than the soldiers who were going to carry out the dam-digging mission, Xifan's spies followed the large army up the mountain in such a daze, without sending any useful information Going out caused Yingcheng to completely lose the opportunity to discover the crisis.

About half a month later, the coalition forces will arrive. At dawn, Zhou Jilun sat on the mountain, watching the torrential flood, he was very happy, and felt that his father must reward himself well this time.He was happy, and it was even better for Xu Dali who offered a plan: "Dali, this time the plan is good, I want to promote you, directly promoted to the deputy captain of my personal guard, and I will apply for you when I return to Bianliang in the future." Don’t worry, I’ll give you the title of Commander of the Fifth Grade Guard, I will definitely mention the credit to my father this time.”

Xu Dali chose a high-ranking official with a generous salary in the face of the high-ranking official's generous salary and the truth of the facts.

He thought, boy Yun said it anyway, so there is no need to tell other people about it, and this strategy was not thought up by Boy Yun himself, he just read it from a book. I will definitely take care of him as a young junior.

Not everyone will give up the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, at least some Dali will not.He used to think that Zhou Jilun was not a good master, but now he thinks that following this prince, oh no, general, is pretty good.
