Ballad of Tianmen

In the handsome tent, the candles were brightly lit.

Outside the tent, the bonfire was brightly lit, and the night was as dark as day.Several soldiers with long halberds looked cold and solemn.A young man walked up quickly, with a long sword tied around his waist, long hair hanging down without a hairpin, dressed in a Tsing Yi, with an unruly smile on his lips. "Stop, the generals are discussing matters, and the idlers are not allowed to approach!" With a cold shout, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes.Xie Tianqing stopped in his tracks, but the next moment he used his sword to push away the halberd lying across his chest.It seemed to be a light stroke, but it was mixed with a ton of force, and the weapons in the hands of the two soldiers couldn't move at all.

In addition, the soldiers patrolling in the camp also noticed the abnormality here and surrounded them one after another.This man doesn't wear armor and can move freely in the barracks. His identity is definitely different, but he doesn't have a token to prove his identity.Suspicious eyes sized him up and down, and finally a centurion pushed aside the soldiers and walked ahead.

"Thank you, Young Master." He cupped his hands in a respectful manner.He didn't know the other soldiers, but he knew this man who often accompanied several generals.Although he didn't have a title in the camp, the generals still valued him very much.Furthermore, I heard that he is Miss Yin's elder brother, so His Highness is naturally familiar with him.It's just that this commander's tent is an important place for discussion in the barracks, without His Highness's order, no one can approach it.

Xie Tianqing saw the troubled expression on his face, patted his shoulder, and said indifferently: "His Highness Xuancheng, you don't have to be afraid, I will take care of what happens."

"This..." This side was still hesitating, but Xie Tianqing didn't care so much, he just pushed the person away and walked towards the camp with big strides.The blazing bonfire reflected his handsome face, and his figure was elongated.Hearing what seemed to be a heated argument in the tent, he just stopped for a while, with a sneer on his lips, he opened the tent with his scabbard and walked in.

Almost everyone's eyes fell on him.

"Brother Xie, why did you come here!" Han Chi was shocked, stood up and looked at him, and said with some reproach, "This is a place where several generals are discussing matters, you should go out quickly." Chu Feihuan was expressionless.As if he was afraid that she would blame him, Han Chi left his seat and pushed Xie Tianqing, but unexpectedly he stood there motionless with a smile on his lips.

"Who is this! How presumptuous!" Some of the generals didn't know Xie Tianqing, seeing his haughty expression, couldn't help getting angry, and shouted loudly at him.Chu Feihuan's control over them was very loose, and the distinction between top and bottom was not so deep-rooted, so even if Chu Feihuan didn't speak, some people dared to speak first.This is like this in the military camp, but none of the courtiers of Chu State dared to do this.

Chu Feihuan glanced at Yin Wuyi who was beside him with lowered eyebrows, smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on Xie Tianqing.Xie Tianqing also didn't see a trace of fear, and looked directly at Chu Feihuan, as if completely ignoring her coercion. "Sit down." He said lightly.Xie Tianqing just nodded towards her and sat down in the empty seat beside Han Chi.His fingertips touched the formation map, and he knocked on the table from time to time, making a "duk-duk" sound.

"Generals, please continue." Chu Feihuan spoke, and the topic that was suddenly interrupted was brought up again.

"The only way for the Qin soldiers to defend the city is to take 5 people. With my 20 army, we can attack by force! I must quickly take Huaibei City, otherwise, it will be bad when the reinforcements from Qin come. It’s ridiculous to say that Qin State invaded our border. I thought he had hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched here, but there were only tens of thousands of people. He thinks that our Chu State has no generals! This time I will definitely give him Look at the colors!"

"The main defender of Huaibei City is Fu Heng, the third princess of Qin State. Four years ago when Qin and Chu fought, the ability of His Royal Highness Qin State is obvious to all. Although there are only 5 people, it is still possible for Huaibei City to hold on for a while. We need What's more is a quick battle, this time we can't fight a protracted war."

"There is an old saying in the art of war that if there is more food and less food, then attack and not besiege. If there is less food and more people, then besiege and not attack. The general thought that Huaibei City could be captured by force. No matter how capable Fu Heng is, he can't stop me. 20 Wan Dajun. Just [-] soldiers and horses cut us off from a city, and it would be ridiculous to spread the word!"

...Intense discussions were nothing more than the theory of attack or siege, and some people proposed to outwit them, but they couldn't come up with a good strategy.Xie Tianqing shook his head with a sneer on his face.Finally, at the moment when one person finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Generals, have you ever investigated the flow of the Nanhuai River?"

"Does this have something to do with the capture of Huaibei City! You literati are the only ones who have such leisurely thoughts." Hearing Xie Tianqing's words, a general stood up and cursed loudly.Xie Tianqing looked no stronger than those generals, his handsome face really looked like a Confucian scholar, no wonder some people looked down on him.

After hearing this reprimand, Xie Tianqing just laughed loudly: "My opinion! Do you know that there are five failures in the way of defending a city: one is strong, small and weak, two is big city with few people, and three is food shortage As for the crowd, the fourth is to accumulate goods outside, and the fifth is to say that the powerful do not use their lives. In addition, the water outside is high and the city is low, the soil veins are sparse and the pool is shallow, the guards are not enough, and the salary is not provided. Although there is a high city, it is advisable to abandon it. Shou!"

"And then?" Xie Tianqing had just finished speaking before someone answered.

"Water attackers, so the way of the enemy is to sink the enemy's city, drift the enemy's huts, and accumulate the enemy's accumulation. It makes no difference if there are millions of people! You see, the source of the Nanhuai River is higher than the Huaibei City. Fill the embankment with water, and see how the city is guarded!" Standing up, he awakened the dreamer with a single word.Everyone's approving eyes fell on him, as if they didn't realize it.Xie Tianqing picked up the blueprint on the table with his hands, and tore it to pieces, "The time, place, and people are in harmony. To be a general, you need to observe these three things. What's the use of just looking at the formation map without observing the situation! After finishing speaking, he raised his head and laughed and walked out of the tent.

"This man is so arrogant!" Looking at the fragments on the ground and vigorously patting the table, a general stood up and said with some air.His eyes were staring, his beard was trembling, and his face was flushed red.

"But this person is really talented." Han Chi pondered for a while, then sighed, "I said let him be my military advisor, but he didn't want to."

"Indeed, don't underestimate him. Back then, when we brought down the Lieutenant Li Hao, we had some help from this person. Otherwise, it would have taken a while. The Xie family's sons are probably great talents." Chu Fei Huan gave a praise with a smile, and his eyes did indeed fall on Yin Wuyi who was beside him. "Fortunately, they are all used by my state of Chu. Unintentionally, I still remember what you said at the beginning, your elder brother is really a general!"

"En." Yin Wuwu replied casually, but seemed a little absent-minded.

"In this case, let's discuss the method of water attack. Diverting water from Pinglu, labor costs, and half the benefits. Those who use water to assist them are stronger. Han Chi, you take people to set the level first, and measure it. The terrain of Huaibei City is lower than On the Nanhuai River, send scouts to investigate the breached embankment first. We can think of diverting water to irrigate the city, and the Qin soldiers may also be able to think of it, so we will definitely take some precautions. Also, in recent days, we have strengthened our vigilance inside to prevent the Qin army from sneaking in. "Chu Feihuan instructed the generals.After Xie Tianqing left, he planned for a while until he came up with a perfect plan.

At night, the wind is cold.

Cold stars are dotted around a crescent moon.After seeing off the generals, Chu Feihuan still didn't feel sleepy.Walked outside the tent, looked at the deep sky and sighed.Rubbing her eyes, a look of tiredness appeared on her face.Yin Wuxin also walked out.Chu Feihuan wanted to hold her hand, but when he lightly touched her fingertips, Yin Wuyi quickly withdrew his hand.The ten fingers were bent, clenched into fists and tucked into the sleeves.She turned her head to look at Yin Wuyi's expressionless side face, and turned away with a cold snort.
