Six Hundred and Twenty-Three: Chenzhou Reported an Emergency, and the Whole Country Came to the King’s Aid (7)

Time is limited, and Jiang Pengji cannot stay with the Red Lotus Sect for too long. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for her.

So...she had an idea...

Jiang Pengji's eyes flashed slightly, and Wei Ci's heart skipped a beat, with a vague premonition.

He knew this person very well. Whenever she showed such expressions and eyes, the other person must have some evil idea brewing in her heart. ,

Jiang Pengji asked Yang Si for advice, which was what Yang Si expected.

Since he dared to speak, he would not be unprepared.

"Liuxian Cheng, please look here..." Yang Si pointed to the topographic map displayed in the Government Affairs Office and said, "I thought we could attack from here."

Jiang Pengji looked at the place pointed by Yang Si and found that it was an abandoned small town on the border of Chengde County.

On the surface, there seems to be nothing special about this terrain, but if that were the case, Yang Si wouldn't recommend it.

"from here?"

She frowned, and the others followed Yang Si's thoughts and thought deeply.

Qi Guanrang and Yang Si generally liked to use cunning schemes, but he had a "connected mind" with him, and he quickly understood Yang Si's plan.

Yang Si's goal was not at all to focus on this poorly defended town, but rather on the mountain road behind the town.

Meng Hun lowered his head and clasped the old leather on his hand, and occasionally turned to talk to Luo Yue. The two of them belonged to the "old world" and knew that with their little knowledge, they could not give much good advice. Dian Yin and Li Yun The painting styles of these two curious babies are different.

In the past six months, Dian Yin has been promoted repeatedly by Jiang Pengji. Now he is the deputy captain of the new military camp and is considered a hot newcomer.

If there are no accidents, he will also lead the troops to attack the Red Lotus Sect this time.

However, his personality is relatively reserved and calm, and he keeps questions he doesn't understand in his heart, ready to ask for advice in private.

In comparison, Li Yun is more outgoing. He has a good relationship with everyone present and will ask questions directly.

He said, "Mr. Yang, look left and right, there doesn't seem to be anything special here.

"

Yang Si smiled lightly and said, "No, if Han Mei looks at this place again, do you still think there is nothing special about this place?"

He moved his fingers, and just as Qi Guanrang expected, Yang Si's goal was the mountain road behind the small town.

Li Yun still didn't understand what he meant. Yang Si explained, "If you want to capture the Red Lotus Sect as quickly as possible and defeat their momentum, you can't do it with just elite soldiers and good generals. If the Red Lotus Sect is determined, We must defend one place and concentrate our forces to confront Prime Minister Liu Xian. The longer the Red Lotus Sect delays, the more disadvantageous it will be to Prime Minister Liu Xian. What's more, as the New Year is approaching, our momentum will be greatly damaged if we lose even a little bit. In such a situation, the only way is to concentrate our forces and attack one place by surprise. Only in this way can we have a higher chance of winning."

Yang Si had a very good impression of Li Yun. The young man knitted him a pair of warm gloves and a hoop scarf before.

Therefore, Yang Si, who never cared much about outsiders, was surprisingly patient with Li Yun.

He continued, "This mountain road was first built in the troubled times of the Sixteenth Kingdom. Now it has been in disrepair and has been difficult to travel. The people prefer the flat and safe official road. Before the official road was built, this mountain road was connected Fenghu County and Kinmen County.”

The regional division system of the Great Xia Dynasty was similar to the county system known to viewers in the live broadcast room, but there were differences.

The five kingdoms of Dongqing, Nansheng, Beiyuan, Xichang and Zhongzhao all claim to be the orthodox Great Xia Dynasty, and many systems are inherited from the previous dynasty.

However, certain changes were made during the copying process.

Fengyi County includes Cheng'an County, Jiaoping County, Maolin County and Xiangyang County. They are all in Jiang Pengji's hands now, so I won't go into details.

In contrast, Chengde County also has four counties, namely Honglian County, Kinmen County, Fenghu County and Qiuyu County.

The ancestral home of the founder of the Red Lotus Sect was in Honglian County, so the cult sect he founded was also named after Honglian.

The small town that Yang Si pointed out was actually a junction point near Fenghu County and Kinmen County. It was just a remote village at first. Because the mountain road connected commerce between the two places, merchants had frequent exchanges. The place gradually prospered and slowly formed a A small town.

However, the mountain road was difficult to navigate. In the middle of the Great Xia Dynasty, the government chose another place to build an official road, and the mountain road was gradually abandoned.

Without the economy brought by businessmen, this prosperous town began to feel lonely.

Today, it has regained some popularity as a sentinel point of the Red Lotus Sect.

But that mountain road has long been ignored by no one.

Even if it is still drawn on the terrain map, who would consider this place whether it is marching, fighting or doing business?

Yang Si explained it, and Li Yun finally understood Yang Si's little plan.

He said, "Mr. Yang, what do you mean, we use this mountain road to raid Kinmen County and Fenghu County respectively?"

Yang Si shook his head and said, "Although the Red Lotus Sect is a mob, it has a large number of people. If we divide our forces to attack, I'm afraid there will be obstacles and disadvantages for us. According to the situation on the mountain road, Si suggests focusing on attacking Kinmen County first. Look here, through Although the mountain road to Kinmen County is longer than the other place, the slope is gentler, which can help the soldiers save their energy and make it easier to attack the city..."

According to his idea, it would be best to concentrate his forces on a surprise attack on a county town, and then make other plans after capturing it.

Their military strength is not as large as that of the Red Lotus Sect, so it is not safe to divide their forces.

Li Yun hummed, and then he had another question, "If we use the mountain road, what about the siege equipment? Since it is a mountain road that has been abandoned for many years, it is not very solid. Soldiers can still pass through if they are careful, but if they bring ladders or siege logs, it will be dangerous. If there is no siege equipment, even if we transfer 20,000 elite soldiers, they can still delay time by relying on the danger of the city wall."

Even if they win, they will probably have to dig a piece of meat.

The soldiers who have been trained for so long are all elites, and they are treasures in the eyes of all the generals.

If they die in a siege without siege equipment, it would be a bit unfair.

Since Yang Si dared to say so, he naturally has a countermeasure.

With a slight arc on the corner of his lips, he turned his head to face Jiang Pengji.

"This matter naturally depends on County Magistrate Liu."

Li Yun was surprised, "What does this have to do with the lord?"

Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows frivolously, and her posture was calm. Facing the pot that Yang Si suddenly threw, she caught it steadily.

She said, "As Han Mei said, siege equipment is difficult to transport from the mountain road. If that's the case, then we won't transport it."

Li Yun was anxious and said quickly, "But my lord, without siege equipment, how can the soldiers climb up the several-foot-high city wall?"

Meng Hun, who was sitting next to Li Yun, secretly pulled his sleeves, signaling him not to be so excited.

Li Yun then realized that he stood up excitedly, and felt like a crane standing out from the crowd.

His handsome face blushed, and he sat back in his seat obediently.

He apologized, "Yun lost his composure just now, please forgive me, my lord."

Jiang Pengji did not blame Li Yun, "Han Mei is a true character, why should he apologize? You may have heard that I have planted an insider in the Red Lotus Sect. This insider can help us spread false information. As long as we make the Red Lotus Sect believe that we want to focus on attacking Fenghu County, we will scare them to transfer the troops near Kinmen County, and then our army will use surprise troops to attack Kinmen County... This plan is a sure thing."
