"Then Hechun, your opinion is to take Yanshan first? What are you good ideas for attacking Yanshan? I think the city defense system of Yanshan Prefecture is quite sound and the city walls are also high. If you want to attack hard, I am afraid that the damage will be quite serious in this battle." In fact, I had already determined that I would take Yanshan first, but how to attack Yanshan became a heart-wrenching problem for Cheng Dayou. Liang Chongxin pushed all four divisions of the First Legion up and would soon arrive in Jeju. The heavy responsibility of this battle was equivalent to all being pressed on himself. If he could not achieve a beautiful victory, Cheng Dayou himself felt it was a bit difficult to explain.

"Well, Yanshan City is indeed not easy to fight. Situ Tai has set up two divisions in Yanshan City. Although the combat power may not be very strong, relying on a complete defense system, it will indeed cause considerable losses if it is really done. Now it is not a question of whether it can be defeated, but how to win at the smallest price. Didn't Lord Liang remind the general before? If he could persuade surrender, it would be better. But Situ Tai dared to place these two divisions here with confidence. I am afraid that these two divisions will pass the loyalty, so this may not be possible." He pondered his eyes and kept spinning on the small map on the desk. Chang Hechun's eyes were wandering, obviously thinking about something.

"Hechun, are you trying to make Yishui's idea?" Seeing that his chief of staff's eyes were floating on the red line on the small map, Cheng Dayou showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

With a trembling look, Chang Hechun didn't expect that his inner thoughts would be together with the coach. The reason why he never raised them was probably because he was considering some difficult issues.

"General, it seems that my subordinates have come to you. But this Yishui is easy to release, and the endgame is hard to stop." Sighing, Chang Hechun raised his head and said with regret: "If it were in the past, we might not have so many concerns, and this trick would be used, but now, the empire is about to unify, and His Highness the King of Qin has always taken the people's hearts. If we come to a flood of Yanshan Palace, we are afraid that the empire will drown us. What will His Highness the King of Qin think? Will we blame us? Otherwise, we will report this plan to His Highness the King of Qin first?"

Slowly shook his head, Cheng Dayou looked determined, "I will not accept the orders of the outside king. Now I will report this plan to Your Highness. Your Highness will definitely not agree. We can only take action first and report it! We are soldiers and only know how to win at the minimum price. As for the others, that is not what we are considering. The endgame? Humph, let's worry about the local governments that will take over in the future. At worst, Your Highness Qin will support these places more in the future. What I am worried about is that it is already late autumn, and is the amount of Yishui enough to support it?"

"The general doesn't have to worry about this. The subordinates have already learned about it. This year, the water flow of Yishui is quite acceptable, but it needs to be seized. Otherwise, the water will not only gradually decrease, but also may freeze. We can build a dam to store water first. In addition, our subordinates have already checked the map of this area. There are many volcanic lakes in the mountains near the Yishui River. If these lakes can be dug up at a lower geographical location, they can greatly replenish the water flow of Yishui, so that they will be foolproof." Chang Hechun obviously had made sufficient preparations before this, and had a solution to the head coach's worries.

Cheng Dayou knew that his chief of staff had probably thought of this slightly vicious plan, but it was only due to material discussions, so he did not dare to propose it. Until he mentioned it, he and I were not worried about the same thing. "Hechun, you are not too worried about this. I have my own idea. This place of Yanyun has always been the most powerful place to oppose His Highness the King of Qin. He attacked and slandered His Highness. Now he has the opportunity to teach these guys a lesson. It doesn't matter if this evil man asked me to recite it once. This battle may not be possible.

If you give me a punishment, but you have to believe that the King of Qin will never blame me in the heart. He will even secretly praise me for doing well. Some people are mean. The more you treat him with favor, the more he will howl and bark at you like a mad dog. If you don’t say anything, just give him a big whip and stick, he will immediately beg for mercy like you, beg for your forgiveness. Hehe, I think the nobles and gentry in Yanyun land are probably such people, so let me act as a whip and stick, hahahahahaha!"

Cheng Dayou's understanding of human nature is more confident than his chief of staff. Those who accomplish great things do not care about the details. Cheng Dayou firmly believes in this, and Li Wufeng is even more cruel and toxic than himself in this regard. However, his position is different now, and only these subordinates are responsible for many of the blame. Didn't Cui Wenxiu do this same thing? As for the upright and heroic side that needs to be shown to the people, let the great King of Qin stand up and perform.

The situation in Yanshan Prefecture almost suddenly became tense. The fall of Laizhou was expected. A security division considered garbage could help. As soon as the army of the Western Xinjiang Army approached Laizhou Prefecture, the civil and military officials left behind in Laizhou Prefecture City and the security division rolled out of the city and respectfully handed over the rule. Overnight, the golden peng flag on the city wall of Laizhou was flying towards the east sea breeze.

The Western Xinjiang Army advances extremely fast, and almost ignores the existence of Beiping Prefecture in the southwest. More than 100,000 troops almost drove into Yanshan Prefecture in a mighty way. Even the people in Yanshan Prefecture could feel the strong fighting spirit behind the suppressed atmosphere. The nobles and gentry in Yanshan Prefecture had already retreated to their respective mansions in the prefecture. If the Western Xinjiang Army wants to go to make trouble, let them go outside the city. Anyway, what should be collected has been collected and what should be hidden has been hidden. So wait for the upcoming cold winter in this Yanshan City. Those damn Western Xinjiang people dare to come to Yanshan to show off their evil spirits, which is simply ignorant. It is also a good thing to let them taste the taste of the winter in Yanshan. It is better to freeze all these damn Western Xinjiang people into zombies.

The Western Xinjiang Army seemed to have realized the difficulty of conquering Yanshan Prefecture City. It did not attack Yanshan Prefecture City as if it was rushing to enter Yanshan Prefecture. Instead, it set up camps in the areas around Yanshan Prefecture City, as if it was about to prepare for a protracted battle. This made the gentry and nobles in Yanshan Prefecture City feel much more at ease. Since the Western Xinjiang people have put on this look, it means that they do not intend to attack the city in the near future. Maybe they will not launch a real attack until next spring. At least this winter can be safely spent.

The Western Army's long-term battle appearance did not make the Northern Army guards stationed in Yanshan Prefecture feel relaxed. As the garrison generals of Luo Bingji's heart were getting heavier and heavier. He never thought that the Western Army suddenly advanced into Yanshan Prefecture at this time to spend this winter in the wilderness of Yanshan Prefecture. If the Western Army really planned to launch an offensive after this winter, they could stop in Laizhou or Jeju, but they entered Yanshan without hesitation. This only shows that the other party is confident that the war will be completely resolved before the harsh winter comes.

Luo Bingji has always been unable to figure out where the other party's confidence comes from. He has not considered the problem of Yishui River, but the amount of Yishui River has gradually decreased. After being dragged on for a while, the Yishui River will even freeze. Although Yanshan Prefecture is located in the center of the basin sank, the water of Yishui River is unlikely to have too much impact on Yanshan Prefecture. And the most important point is that Luo Bingji also knows that the imperial civil war has come to an end. His Royal Highness's current desperate struggle is just to get out and get better conditions. Li Wufeng, who is about to ascend the throne, will not use such vicious means to treat the Yanshan people who are about to become his people, but he forgot that his opponent is not others, but Cheng Dayou, who is completely unreasonable.

Luo Bingji felt more and more uneasy. The enemy's performance was too strange. He had never even set foot in the suburbs of Yanshan Prefecture, but he kept acting in the north. He didn't know what his opponent wanted to do. The scouts sent out the city were blocked by unprecedentedly tight blockade and could not break through the Western Xinjiang cavalry that was densely packed everywhere. It seems that the Western Xinjiang Army really intends to isolate Yanshan Prefecture here? A week has passed, and there is still no movement. Could it be that his judgment was wrong? Luo Bingji stood on the city wall and thought hard.

The November sunset fell on the top of Yanshan City without much warmth, but it seemed even colder. Luo Bingji looked far away, as if he wanted to get a hint of inspiration from there. The only few pieces of information sent by the scouts and intelligence departments had been tossing and turning in Luo Bingji's mind several times. The map of Yanshan Prefecture also slowly slid through Luo Bingji's heart. It can be said that he could know every geographical noun marked on the map, but he could never find a reasonable reason. When Luo Bingji's eyes were a little confused, the few black smoke on the edge of the sky caught Luo Bingji's attention.

"What is that?" Frowning, Luo Bingji asked casually in confusion.

"Sir, that's volcanic activity. There are many such volcanoes in the mountains here. They often spew out lava magma and flow everywhere. After cooling, they are blocked everywhere. This is how the volcanic lakes in the mountains are formed. I heard that the volcanic lake can also treat skin diseases after bathing." The soldier was a local and immediately answered with a slight tone.
