"So, the problem with our army at present is how to capture Rongmi City?" Yang Zhong stood high on the hill and looked at Rongmi City not far away and asked.

Jiang Xiaoyu analyzed: "As long as our army enters the valley entrance, it will be discovered by the enemy sentry. From then on, we will not only climb up the valley top without any cover, but also be completely exposed to the enemy's knife edge, but also the steep mountain is already quite difficult even if we climb with bare hands, let alone defense."

"According to what you said, our army can't take Rong Micheng?" Yang Zhong still lacked some calm climate compared to his father. At this moment, he was frowning slightly and a little dissatisfied.

Geng Yan advised: "General Yang and Commander Jiang are telling the truth. This place has been occupied by the Donghu people, but we have some peace, and now the time is the difference."

"Oh? So there is a plan?" Yang Zhong looked at Geng Yan with hope, and the latter had to explain: "The General of the Mo has not come up with a good siege plan for the time being. The General of the Mo suggests that our army be repaired on site first, and as for the siege, it has to be a long-term plan." Hearing this, the passion that emerged in his eyes disappeared instantly, Yang Zhong waved his hand and said, "I will follow you, let the army rest on site first!"

"Then how can we attack the city? If we charge directly, we will undoubtedly be the target." Si Heng was a little sad when facing the advantage occupied by the Donghu people.

The two sides of the canyon are extremely steep, naturally forming a barrier to Rong Mi City. There is no other way to go except the valley road." An Haoran set the "main tone" for the offensive strategy.

"If this is the case, even if there is a shield and armor, it will not be able to withstand the rounds of shooting of the Donghu people. Our army marched from the valley and was simply giving the enemy a practice of shooting targets!" Ling Feiyan said anxiously, but Siheng was very proud because the other party agreed with his point of view and repeated it again.

"That's not necessarily!" Xuan Shaoning endured the inquiring eyes of several people, and finally expressed his thoughts. "Since that mountain is the source of the stream, since An Duwei said that the lake water is extremely watery, then let the lake water break the way forward for our army!"

On the way back from Yang Zhong, Geng Yan accidentally saw several people pointing at Rong Micheng in the distance. Several of them were considered capable generals under his command, so he planned to join in and listen to his subordinates' opinions. As soon as he walked in, he heard Xuan Shaoning's idea and immediately shouted ok.

"Commander Geng!"

"Person Xuan, you just said that diversion of water is feasible!" Geng Yan was worried that he could not think of the idea of ​​siege. "But the source of the water diversion you mentioned was the mountain in the distance. So there are two questions. First, whether the water source is abundant and whether it can achieve the expected effect; second, whether the mountain can be excavated with a gap and diversion of water is also unknown."

"Discussion on whether these two issues can be solved here will be of no help. If you go to the mountain to find out, you will understand everything." Shi Gong Zhengyuan suggested.

"Well, this is indeed a solution, I'll join!" Si Heng expressed his support, but Xuan Shaoning looked at Geng Yan's difficulty in expressing his opinion. Geng Yan saw Xuan Shaoning's concerns and said, "The scout's mission is to find out the situation for the army. This time you guys will serve as scouts. Find out the situation and come back alive. I will explain General Yang's place."

With Geng Yan's approval, the few people immediately eliminated their concerns and turned around and began to prepare. Although Yanzhi begged hard, Xuan Shaoning did not agree to her going with her, but asked Xie Yi to help take care of her. When he and his troops Gong Zhengyuan, Ling Feiyan and Siheng walked out of the camp, they saw An Haoran standing in front of him. Without waiting for the few people to ask, they took the initiative to say: "There is no one in this military camp who can be more familiar with the terrain than me. If I hadn't explained, you wouldn't know that there was such a mountaintop lake, so it was me who would lead the way!"

Walking thirty miles southeast from the camp where the Daliang army stationed, we arrived at the mountain that was cut off to the top. The peaks were not tall, and the mountain was not steep. It was not too difficult for a few people to get up. The only thing that bothered the few people was that the rocks under the foot were very fragile, and they often broke into a pile of earth and rocks when they stepped on it, and the situation became more and more obvious.

After several hours of climbing, I finally reached the top of the mountain. As An Haoran said, the mountain pass is an endless blue lake. Whether at the foot of the mountain or in the direction of the military camp, everyone will think that this is just a small hill that is not tall or not vast. It was not until I stood on the top of the mountain that I realized how big a misunderstanding exists in a person's perspective. The blue lake in front of me was shimmering under the breeze, reflecting the surrounding ancient trees and wild flowers. This beautiful scenery can cleanse people's hearts.

"If the lake water was not poisonous, I really wanted to jump into the lake water and have fun!" Siheng didn't care about other people's opinions in the face of a different scenery. His thoughts blurted out, but no one would squeeze him out, because this is the common idea of ​​everyone. The deep and clear lake water has a magic that can destroy people's fighting spirit. Looking at himself in the reflection, it is inevitable that he will have a thought of avoiding the world, no longer trapped in the world, choose the person he loves to settle here and live a free life.

"I said...what are we here to do!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan first replied to his sober mind reminder.

"Yes...yes, we are here to investigate this lake!" Xuan Shaoning closed his eyes, shook his head hard, and tried to shake off the beautiful scenery that was already reflected in his mind. "Along the way, I found that the rocks on this mountain are very crisp, and they can be broken into earth and stones with one foot." After saying that, in order to confirm his inference, he found a huge stone next to him again placed at his feet, and then raised his foot and stepped on it hard. As the earth and stones flew, the stones instantly turned into earth and slag.

"Wow!" Si Heng also tried it, but the same as Xuan Shaoning's, and he still said in disbelief: "This mountain is not made of stones, it's just a pile of soil. I really can't believe there is a lake in the middle of a pile of soil!"

"Person Xuan, what are you going to do?" An Haoran asked.

"Since the rock is so crisp, we will dig a gap by the lake and let the lake water surge to Rongmi City in the canyon." Although Xuan Shaoning hesitated, he still expressed his thoughts.

"This idea is good, I agree!" Siheng took the lead in standing on Xuan Shaoning's side.

"The rocks are fragile, but if you want to dig a hole, a large enough hole to make the lake water surging down, you will be afraid that this will not be done for a while. If the movement is too big, it will inevitably be discovered by the Donghu people. They are likely to guess our intentions at that time." Ling Feiyan said an obvious reality.

"That's right, if the army is mobilized to dig, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be discovered; if only a small number of people dig, we will not be able to afford this time." An Haoran was helpless for a moment.

"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, but it depends on the situation!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan successfully attracted the attention of several people. "The place is better, the people are all there, and what you lack is the time!"

Xuan Shaoning suddenly thought of something, but it was as difficult to capture like a meteor. "Are you talking about the weather?"

"That's right! Look at the barb clouds in the distance, slowly gathering up and covering the mountains in the distance. The sunlight can only transmit from the gap between the clouds. There will be heavy rain within 12 hours."

Several people stood on tiptoe and looked further towards the Chigui Valley. As Master Gong Zhengyuan said, the gray clouds gradually began to gather, and the light transmitted from the period was colorful, like colorful feathered arrows shot from the sky, which looked very magnificent in the evening.

"I remember, Senior Brother Helian once taught us!" Ling Feiyan said excitedly, and Xuan Shaoning also slowly remembered that when he was teaching geometry, Helianping said that he could judge the weather in the next few days by distinguishing the shape of clouds and the angle of sunlight projection. Unexpectedly, Master Gong Zhengyuan actually puts what he learned into practice at this moment.

"Is this...accurate?" Si Heng was still a little unsure.

"Is it accurate or not? It will be verified soon after 12 hours. What we need to do now is to go back to the camp to convince General Yang and the commanders to make them agree with our plan and send troops before the heavy rain falls!"

"Oh? Drawing the lake and flooding Rong Micheng?" Yang Zhong first heard the detailed description of the plan by An Haoran and others. He immediately began to think about it. He also made a very clear judgment on the terrain of Chigui Valley. It had been three days since the army reached the hills. The reason why the army was not moving was because it could not find a suitable opportunity to attack. Once the troops rashly sent troops to arouse the alert of the Donghu people, it would be more difficult to attack next; but if it delayed again and again, the direction of the entire war would be in a direction that was not conducive to Daliang. At that time, Emperor Liang blamed him and he would not be able to explain. The reputation of the Yang family must not be reduced to his own hands. In the eyes of this show, Yang Zhong had already agreed with this plan.

"But the heavy rain you mentioned sounds a bit mysterious!" Jiang Xiaoyu said: "I also think that diversion of water and flooding the city is the best siege strategy to reduce personnel losses. However, if you want to rely on heavy rain to hide the traces of our army, and on the other hand, use the rain to increase the power of lake water erosion, this is completely dependent on the sky!"

"What Commander Jiang said is! When I was studying geoscience at Qingshan Academy, I learned to judge the weather based on clouds and sunshine, and it was not done casually." Shi Gong Zhengyuan moved out of Qingshan Academy and wanted everyone to recognize their predictions of the weather in view of the academy.

Worried that General Yang would not trust his Shi Gong Zhengyuan, Xuan Shaoning said: "The Mo General and Zhengyuan were originally classmates. The Mo General had also studied geoscience, and the Mo General also agreed with the Shi Gong Commander's judgment." Ling Feiyan also stood on Xuan Shaoning's side at this moment. Siheng basically followed Ling Feiyan.

"General, our army has been holding its troops for three days. If you don't care, wait for another day. Captain Gong of Shixiao mentioned that it will take less than 12 hours, at most, it will be tomorrow evening. I will believe it once in the end!" An Haoran did not want to see both sides hesitate anymore, so he made suggestions.

"That's right, just follow the plan of Commander An Du. Commander Gong will order you to lead your subordinates to dig out the gap around the lake!"
