The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 328 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

"Madam, lead the way to meet this Luo Tong."

Ye Feng had a smile on his face. After three days of visits, he found that the second line of defense set up by Zhao Pengju was very difficult to break through.

The two cities and two counties formed an encirclement in front and behind. As long as he sent troops to attack one of the places, the other three places would inevitably send troops out, forming a siege attack. At that time, the entire battle situation would inevitably fall into a passive position.

Ye Feng followed Madam Xinling to the reception room of the central army camp, and saw a gray-haired man with a goatee and small eyes. The most distinctive feature of him was that he had no eyebrows, only bald hair, which made his entire face look particularly funny, or even a little ugly.

Beside him was a beautiful woman who still had some charm. Although her temples were gray, she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

When Luo Tong saw Zhao Mu following behind Ye Feng, he immediately realized that the young man not far away was the famous Zhenguojun Ye Feng, so he bowed and saluted: "I am Luo Tong, a humble citizen, and I pay my respects to the Zhenguojun!"

Ye Feng walked to the main seat, sat down, and spoke directly: "Mr. Luo, you don't have to be polite. I heard that you are here to offer advice on how to break through the second line of defense in Nanyu County?"

"Your Excellency, it is not very difficult to break through the second line of defense of Nanyu County. It depends on whether you have the courage." A cold murderous intent emerged in the depths of Luo Tong's eyes, with a hint of cruelty. He was very clear about his plan. If it was implemented, the two cities and two counties of Nanyu County would be littered with corpses.

Zhao Mu and Madam Xinling both frowned slightly. They were well aware of the defensive capabilities of the two cities and two counties, and it was very difficult to break through them. But now Luo Tong offered a plan that could take over the two cities and two counties, which really surprised them.

"Please tell me!"

Ye Feng made a gesture of invitation to Luo Tong.

"I think the Lord of Zhenguo should know that the two cities and two counties form a huge encirclement. No matter which side you send troops to attack, the other three places will form a siege on your army, and the battle situation will inevitably fall into a passive position. If you are not careful, you may be attacked from both sides and the whole army may be wiped out."

Ye Feng, under the leadership of Zhao Mu, personally went to Longkang County and Tianchang County to investigate what Luo Tong said. For the time being, he did not have a good way to break through the second line of defense of Nanyu County.

"Your Majesty, you can take a closer look at the terrain of the two cities, two counties and the Jinsha River." Luo Tong was obviously well prepared. He took out a map from his arms, which detailed the situation of the entire Nanyu County. He spread it on the table in the reception room and pointed to the Jinsha River on the edge of Longkang County.

"After several investigations and evidence collection, I found that the water level of Jinsha River is at least ten feet higher than that of Longkang County and Tianchang County. It just so happens that the water flow of Jinshan River is fierce in the upper reaches and the riverbed is wide. The closer it is to the two cities and two counties, the narrower the river becomes."

"If we are at the source of the Jinshan River, we can send troops to take advantage of the Jinsha River's proximity to the mountains and forests to quickly build dams along the entire upstream area of ​​the Jinsha River to continuously accumulate the water upstream. The water in the entire upstream area of ​​the Jinsha River only needs to accumulate to a depth of more than three meters. When the water is almost accumulated, we will destroy the dams. The accumulated water upstream will quickly wash down."

"By that time, the riverbed near Longkang County and Tianchang County will be narrow, and the fierce water flow will flood Longkang County completely in an instant. At that time, Longkang County and Tianchang County will fall without a fight. Without the protection of the two counties, the King of Zhenguo can divide his troops into two groups and attack Jiantong City and Yuling City respectively. With the King of Zhenguo's ability to fight, I believe he can capture the two cities in a few days."

Luo Tong's old face showed confidence and a smile.

When Zhao Pengju was building the second line of defense, Luo Tong once gave him advice, thinking that the encirclement formed by two cities and two counties seemed very powerful, but in fact it was a huge hidden danger.

Once the water of the Jinsha River accumulates and flows back, Longkang County and Tianchang County will become a vast ocean, and the second line of defense will collapse.

"Great!"

When Zhao Mu heard Luo Tong's plan, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Ye Feng frowned and did not answer.

"Your Excellency, is there anything wrong?"

Luo Tong originally thought that Ye Feng would be very excited after he had offered his advice, but he did not expect that the other party had a sad face, which really made him a little confused.

"If you follow your plan, you will divert the water from the Jinsha River to flood Longkang County and Tianchang County. Countless people in the two counties will be buried in the flood, and all the crops will be submerged. It will indeed break the second line of defense of King Nanyu. Millions of people in the two counties will inevitably be displaced, separated from their wives and children, and countless casualties will occur."

Ye Feng took a deep breath. The day before yesterday, he followed Zhao Mu to explore Longkang County and Tianchang County. Villages were everywhere, without any shelter. If a flood came, they would surely die without a burial place.

Especially now that it is late autumn, the second wave of seeds for crops in many people's fields have just been sown and are waiting to germinate.

If the crops are submerged by floods, there will be no harvest next spring.

Although he wanted to capture Nanyu County as soon as possible, he could not do so at the cost of sacrificing the lives of innocent people of the Song Dynasty. It was not because he was too soft-hearted, nor was it because he lacked courage.

Rather, as a human being, a gentleman should do what he should do and should not do what he should not do!

He is now the emperor of the Song Dynasty, holding the emperor's sword and the power of the world. If he kills innocent people indiscriminately, what is the point of him continuing to rule the Song Dynasty?

Zhao Mu and Madam Xinling stood nearby, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath. After hearing Ye Feng's words, they realized that if this plan was implemented, the two counties would be wiped out.

Luo Tong frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Ye Feng, as the king of the Song Dynasty, would have to take the people of Nanyu County into consideration when marching and fighting. It was a bit too soft-hearted.

"Your Majesty, you now have more than 100,000 troops at your disposal. If you continue to waste them at Minghua Pass, you will only become more and more passive."

"Zhao Chenchen and Zhao Hui seem very smart, but they are just clever in fact. I am afraid they will not be able to hold out for long before being defeated by Chen Guang. By that time, the King of Nanyu will have reorganized the entire Nanyu County and will wholeheartedly resist your attack, and the time will only drag on."

Luo Tong continued to persuade Ye Feng.

"If I follow your plan, I can capture two cities and two counties in a short time, but I will lose the support of the people of the entire Song Dynasty. I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying, that whoever wins the support of the people will win the world!"

Ye Feng's voice was also firm. Since he had decided not to adopt Luo Tong's plan, no matter how the other party advised him, he would not let the innocent people of the two counties die in vain.

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!?"

Luo Tong raised the corner of his mouth and murmured softly. With his talent and wisdom, how could he not understand the meaning? Admiration appeared on his face.

The reason why the Song Dynasty has been falling apart over the years is that during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Song, he did nothing, which led to the disintegration of power. Everyone wanted to be king and dominate the world, so they could only exploit the people. Without the support of the people, a country will naturally perish.

He walked a few steps in front of Ye Feng, clasped his hands together, and bowed: "Our Great Song Dynasty has a king who can protect the country. Why should we worry about the prosperity of the world? It is only a matter of time before we can conquer Nanyu County."
