Chapter 429 - 426: Streaking Through the Starry Night_1
General Fu Ruoxi had been guarding the Rong for years. With his rich battle experience, he would surely rescue Little Four!
"Rest assured, Commandery Princess!"
Fu Ruoxi accepted the order and immediately led his men toward Huoshen Mountain.
"Commandery Princess, you just mentioned the Longmu River..." Liu Hong pursued the question.
Bai Qingyan’s heart beat fast, but she steadied herself, stood in front of the sandbox, and continued discussing with Liu Hong and the generals about the possibility of the Liang Army flooding Longyang City.
"Today, on the Longmu River, the Liang commander Xun Tianzhang must have already noticed that the flood season of the Longmu River is approaching. Longyang City’s terrain is low. Xun Tianzhang might use the tactic of flooding Longyang City to win. I request the Commander to order the Jin Army to help the people harvest their wheat quickly and evacuate them." She said.
"Harvest the wheat ahead of time and evacuate the people? What if the Liang Army doesn’t plan to flood Longyang City?" A Jin commander questioned. "Besides, if there is any movement from the Liang Army, our scouts will report it in advance! Commandery Princess’ worry is premature, it’s just a waste of effort!"
Bai Qingyan did not argue. She affirmed, "Whether it is or not, Commander, please send someone to investigate the Longmu River tonight and find out!"
"If the Liang commander really plans to flood Longyang City, do we only have the option of evacuating the people?" Liu Hong pondered while looking at the sandbox, then turned to Bai Qingyan. "Instead of wasting manpower to harvest the wheat early, why don’t we set up an ambush at the Longmu River and eliminate the Liang soldiers who come to dig the canal?"
Bai Qingyan seemed to have thought of this method. She looked at Liu Hong, "This method is feasible, but if we can’t completely wipe out the Liang soldiers digging the canal, even if one escapes back to the Liang camp, we would alert the enemy, putting our Jin Army at a disadvantage. I believe that it’s more important to harvest the wheat early and evacuate the people. Let the Liang Kingdom dig the canal and then we will lure the Liang Army into Longyang City, using the canal they dug to deal with them."
