Chapter 1597 One Secret of the Hundred Secrets


    Chapter 1595: One Hundred Secrets and One Miscellaneous


    By the Yellow River, Li Jing looked at the huge waves of the Yellow River surging eastward expressionlessly. He knew that even if this flood could not completely wipe out the Qi army, at least half of the Qi army could be killed or killed, but he could not feel any joy in his heart.


    Since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless. Fire attacks damage the heavens, and water attacks even worse.


    As long as the flood is complete, it will completely exceed control, and I don’t know how many innocent people will be affected.


    Li Jing naturally knew this, but he was forced to do nothing. After all, once the coalition forces of all sides met, the Qin army would completely lose the initiative. Whether or not they could defend Beihai was a question, let alone support Jizhou and be the last straw to crush Beihai to death.


    Li Jing was not afraid of Wang Mang''s 80,000 joint army. Although Wang Mang''s troops were large, they were pieced together after all, and the quality was uneven. As long as he was given enough time, Li Jing was sure to win.


    But the 70,000 elite Qi army in Zhu Tianpeng''s hands is not inferior to the strong army of the Qin army, which is simply unsolvable for the current Qin army in Beihai.


    Even if all the troops in Beihai were dispatched, even if Li Jing personally commanded, he was not sure to defeat Zhu Tianpeng''s 70,000 Qi army.


    Since Li Jing can''t beat it openly, he can only use tricks. If he wants to defeat the 70,000 elite troops in one fell swoop, there is no more effective way than fire attack and water attack.


    Li Jing and Zhu Tianpeng fought with each other and knew that he was a wise and brave general. His ordinary strategy could not plot against him at all, so he also put a lot of effort into how to plan.


    Originally, Li Jing was more inclined to attack with fire, but when he mobilized all the files about Zhu Tianpeng, he accidentally discovered a secret report recently sent by the Qingzhou secret agent, that is, Zhu Tianpeng is better at water wars than land wars?


    Although Li Jing was also puzzled by this, this information was definitely true. After all, the spy in Qingzhou had never conveyed a false news.


    So Li Jing decisively gave up fire attack and chose water attack. After all, in the field he is best at, people are always more confident, and self-confidence and conceit are only in one thought.


    Since Zhu Tianpeng is good at water battles, he may not be able to hide ordinary water attacks.


    Therefore, Li Jing first made the plan to cross the Yellow River four times to confuse the public and deliberately delayed Zhu Tianpeng''s attention. The real goal of the Qin army was to induce Wang Mang.


    But in fact, Li Jing’s real purpose was to gather the main forces of the 70,000 Qi army on both sides of the Yellow River to facilitate the smooth implementation of the water attack strategy.


    Secondly, Li Jing took the initiative to let the 4,500 naval troops die. Only in this way can he ensure that the water attack plan does not reveal clear flaws and that Zhu Tianpeng will not be suspicious.


    In the end, as Li Jing expected, the sacrifice of the 4,500 naval army was not in vain. Zhu Tianpeng did not raise any doubts, and the water attack was successfully implemented. The Qi army would definitely suffer a heavy blow, but Li Jing could not be happy.


    During the Battle of the Han River, Qin Hao was forced to Xiangyang by Xiang Yu all the way from Nanyang. He had no choice but to dig out the Han River and launch a water attack. Although he finally wiped out Xiang Yu''s army, it also caused millions of people in Yuzhou to be displaced. Qin Hao was also criticized by countless people and his reputation plummeted.


    It was also a water attack, even the lord Qin Hao could not avoid it, and Li Jing would definitely not be able to escape. He could even guess that not long after, even the court was full of officials who impeached him.


    "One general''s success will be broken."


    Li Jing sighed, and at this time he realized the meaning of this sentence even more closely.


    "Huh? Didn''t I order the current limit? Why is the water getting bigger and bigger?"


    Li Jing couldn''t help but frown. He was also afraid that the situation would get out of control and the water situation would be too great to the people downstream. Therefore, he made extremely strict arrangements for this water attack and did not completely dig up the Yellow River embankment. Why is the trend of water flow still uncontrollably?


    "Mr. Prefect, it''s not good. General Ran Min voided the military order and dug all the dam without authorization. Now the water situation is completely out of control."


    "What?"


    Li Jing immediately widened his eyes. He never expected that Ran Min really dared to violate his orders. Li Jing only brought Ran Min a general during this trip. After all, only Ran Min in the Qin army in the Beihai Province had suggestions on water battles. But when Li Jing spoke out about the plan for water attack, he had a disagreement with Ran Min, that is, whether to completely dig the Yellow River embankment.


    Li Jing believes that the people downstream will suffer if the water attacks, but as long as they control the situation properly, it will also have the effect of flooding the Qi army. Therefore, there is no need to completely dig the dam, as the casualties of the people downstream will be much smaller.


    Ran Min believes that thoroughly digging the dam will cause greater trauma to the Qi army. He will ignore the casualties of the people downstream. After all, there are no people who are not human in war, let alone the people of Qi who died, not Qin?


    Li Jing and Ran Min each had their own opinions, and no one could convince each other. In the end, Li Jing forced Ran Min to bow his head because of the identity of the commander. However, he didn''t expect that Ran Min just made a false compromise and completely dug the dam as soon as he left Li Jing''s side.


    After a while, Ran Min brought his subordinates back and came to hand over the order to Li Jing: "Report to the prefect, the last general has completed the task, so I will hand over the order to hand over the prefect."


    Li Jing pointed at the surging Yellow River water tremblingly and asked, "Ran Min, do you know what you did?"


    Ran Min raised her head, looked directly into Li Jing''s eyes, and said lightly: "The General of the Mo is aware, but the General of the Mo is aware of it, but the General of the Mo is aware of it."


    "you…"


    Looking at Ran Min, who was still on his face with a clear conscience, Li Jing was completely angry and wanted to scold Ran Min, but when he thought that Shui Gong was proposed by himself, he couldn''t say anything.


    “Huh…”


    Li Jing let out a long breath of turbid air, then stepped forward and patted Ran Min on the shoulder, sighing, "Well done."


    The vision is back to Zhu Tianpeng’s side.


    Under the flood, people seem so small that they cannot resist the power of nature.


    Although Zhu Tianpeng discovered it in time, he was still one step late.


    Among the 20,000 Qi troops in the North Sea of ??the Yellow River, only 3,000 cavalry escaped, while only 7,000 troops survived on the south bank.


    That is, Zhu Tianpeng was calm enough to let the navy board the ship and drove eastward away from the sea outlet, which allowed the navy to remain intact.


    After the flood, the Qi navy hurriedly returned, and the surviving army also launched rescue. Although it had already used the fastest speed to rescue, only more than 5,000 soldiers were rescued.


    After statistics, the flood directly destroyed the elite of the 45,000 Qi army, while the Qin army only suffered 4500 casualties from the navy, which was a great victory.


    Looking at the countless corpses everywhere, Zhu Tianpeng was extremely sad and angry, and roared to the sky, "Li Jing, you must die a good death."


    He never expected that he went north with confidence and only fought one battle, but most of his troops were lost in the Yellow River. The loss was so frustrating.


    "Lord, what should I do now?" Wang Yanzhang asked with a bitter look on his face.


    After pondering for a long time, Zhu Tianpeng gritted his teeth and said, "The infantry and cavalry returned to Linzi to repair, and the navy stayed to continue the battle. I will make Li Jing pay the price."


    ?The first update comes, and there is something happening today, and only the first update is available.
