Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 691 Hermes River
Wu Tian smiled slightly, stared at the old man and said: "You are alone, there are so many around me, even if you come to assassinate, why should I be afraid of you?"

The old man nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable. Do you agree with the old man's previous proposal?"

Wu Tian pondered for a while and said, "Why should I trust you? If you set a trap for me on the way, wouldn't I lose a lot of soldiers in vain?"

The old man frowned slightly, and said: "The old man can understand your majesty's doubts, because I can't understand Yakana and the others who had a good life, but they want to rise up against you, your majesty, which made the Yaka family that was about to perish even worse. The old man really doesn't want to see an ancient nation being destroyed along with him like this."

"But betraying Yakana and causing him to fail is also what I don't want in my heart. So I proposed that as long as His Majesty promises to win the Xinsha Kingdom and not kill the Yaka family indiscriminately, the old man will tell His Majesty the plan. If His Majesty If you don’t agree, then you can kill me, Your Majesty, the old man would rather die than tell you about it.”

Hearing this, Wu Tian frowned slightly, he could see that the old man was determined.

Liu Tang is not as good-tempered as Wu Tian, ​​and he is entangled with the old man here.

He said with a serious face: "Old man, you'd better tell what you know, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you! I, Liu Tang, are not so easy to talk about. Anyone who is unwilling to cooperate is our enemy, and the enemy must be eliminated. !"

The old man glanced at Liu Tang calmly, did not speak, and looked at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian waved his hand to signal Liu Tang to stop talking.

Liu Tang stepped back.

Wu Tian stepped forward, stared at the old man and said: "I have thought about it for a long time, and I think your request is not too much. But I have a premise, that is, the Yakana family will not rebel in the future. If they rebel, I will You must kill without mercy! Then don't blame me."

The old man nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as you keep your promise, I will definitely restrain them."

Wu Tian nodded.

Then the old man pointed to the map and said: "Actually, as early as 300 years ago, there was a big river that traversed the entire tsarist kingdom. This river was called the Hermes River. Prince Ikat used this river to secretly dispatch one hundred thousand sailors to sneak into the west from here, go around to the rear of Prince Wakani, and attack Prince Wakani's military rations from where, causing Prince Wakani to panic , people and horses fled in all directions, and finally Bingbai committed suicide."

"After Prince Akat took control of the entire tsarist kingdom, in order to prevent future generations from following his example, he buried the river and turned it into flat land. However, due to the high mountains and steep terrain in the central and western parts, there is no way to bury the river, so it is still preserved. , and now it has become the main place to support the central and western regions."

Hearing this, Wu Tian suddenly understood, he cupped his hands to the old man and said: "Thank you for your guidance, if the old man hadn't pointed it out, I would never have thought of this."

The old man smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Wu Tian said: "The old man is resting here for the time being, after I put down the chaos in the Xinsha Kingdom, we still have many things to discuss with you."

The old man pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Since Your Majesty said so, I will stay here. As long as Your Majesty needs it, I will serve you at any time."

Wu Tian nodded and beckoned two soldiers to come forward and let them lead the old man down to rest.

After sending the old man away, Liu Tang stepped forward and said to Wu Tian in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although I invited you here, I always feel that there is something wrong with what he said. The river will be dug to connect with the central and western rivers. Then use the water flow to transport soldiers to fight. This seems to be very useful, but it is very difficult to actually implement it. Therefore, I think this matter is really weird, and I ask your Majesty to think twice before proceeding."

Hearing this, Wu Tian nodded slightly, patted Liu Tang on the shoulder, and said: "What you said just now is not unreasonable, and I didn't fully trust what the old man said, so I decided to send Dai Zong to investigate what the old man said first. Is the river mentioned real? If it is true, we will discuss the next step.”

Liu Tang nodded.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Dai Zong had already figured out everything, and hurried back to report to Wu Tian.

"Your Majesty, I have sent a large number of spies and students to investigate according to what you said. According to ancient books and field investigations handed down from Xinsha Kingdom, there was indeed a Hermes River 300 years ago, and the east of this river was covered by It was buried, but as for the western part of the central river, because of the dangerous terrain and ruggedness, it has not been buried and has been preserved until now.”

Wu Tian listened, nodded slightly, and asked Dai Zong to summon the generals.

All the generals came in, their faces were very tired. These days they have been thinking about how to quickly conquer the Xinsha Kingdom, but they have never had a strategy.

Now being summoned by Wu Tian, ​​I am afraid that Wu Tian will ask them.

Wu Tian saw what they were thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, generals. I came to you this time, not to ask you how to defeat the enemy. I have already thought of a way, but this way is still a bit risky, so I said Come out, please discuss whether it is feasible with your love friends."

After all, Wu Tian told all the generals present what the old man had told him.

Everyone present was very happy when they heard this, and looked at Wu Tian with their eyes.

Wu Song said: "Since there is such a waterway, we should use this waterway to transport the army quietly to the rear and attack from both sides. Moreover, the waterway is not easy to ambush, and it is much safer than the land route."

Dai Zong then said: "And the waterway just makes use of the strengths of our navy. We can gather nearly 45 troops to sneak in. Even if they find out, there is no navy in Xinsha, and they have no way to deal with us. So this strategy It is a more comprehensive and feasible strategy at present.”

Seeing that the two generals agreed with this plan, Hu Yanzhuo stood up and knelt in front of Wu Tian at this time.

Wu Tian was surprised.

Hu Yanzhuo cupped his hands and said: "I dare to ask your majesty to send me to lead the navy to attack the back road of Xinsha Kingdom, and to atone for my past mistakes."

Hearing this, Wu Tian nodded slightly.

At this time Liu Tang also stood up and knelt in front of Wu Tian.

"Your Majesty, I request that Your Majesty also allow me to follow General Hu Yanzhuo to make contributions."

Wu Tian pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, since the two lovers are so patriotic, let you go."
