Tiantang

Chapter 452
Chapter 458

Zhang Xuan stared at Tian Kexin, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This woman, as expected, has always been so sharp.

For Tuqi Shiren, what if he goes out of the city and surrenders?
How could Zhang Xuan, as the emperor, not consider this crucial issue.It's just that on the surface, he can only "neglect".

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "It's just that I have neglected this question. Tian Kexin, what do you think?"

Tian Kexin looked back at the emperor with a calm expression, and suddenly her face turned red, and she had a feeling of being fooled: the emperor was not "negligent", but he was deliberately waiting for himself to stand up and pierce the window paper, and then he went along with it , Reluctantly, follow the advice like a stream, to show the heart and tolerance of the emperor of a big country.

And this is probably the emperor's mind.

The most terrifying thing is that the emperor incorporated every detail into his overall decision-making, and "calculated" every subject.

Tian Kexin let out a long breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, in Kexin's opinion, the Tuqishi people have always refused to accept Wang Hua. Even if the court accepts their surrender, they will still rebel in the future. For the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions, and for Your Majesty's grand plans Overlord, why not..."

"Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles!"

Tian Kexin is categorical.

Guo Ziyi and other generals changed their complexions when they heard this, and they all looked at Tian Kexin with incredulous eyes, thinking that this woman has such a vicious heart!
The corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched lightly, and he said flatly, "If the [-] Tuqi cavalry soldiers want to leave the city and surrender, I have to accept it."

"Your Majesty, if the [-] cavalry of Tuqishi are retained, it will be a serious disaster for the imperial court. In time, the Tuqishi people will surely make a comeback. It will be passed on to future generations, and it is inevitable that the sudden horse will not be a disaster for the world!"

"I am a sovereign state, and benevolence and righteousness come first. But at this moment, the Tuqishi people have not left the city to surrender? Therefore, His Majesty should order the army to attack the city immediately and wipe out the Tuqishi people in Suiye City!"

"Or, it's also possible..." Tian Kexin took a step forward, pointing to the military map in the tent and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Kexin has a strategy, which can break through the breakthrough without using a single soldier."

Zhang Xuan stared deeply at Tian Kexin, nodded after a moment of silence, "Tell me, Guo and I are all ears."

"Please look, Your Majesty, there is the Suiye River to the east of Suiye City, which flows down from north to south, and the Suiye City moat is drawn from the Suiye River's water. It is good to see that the Suiye River is blocked and cut off in the upper reaches. Then widen the channel between Suiye River and the moat of Suiye City, several times than before."

A faint red light floated on Tian Kexin's delicate face.When she said this, basically everyone in the account, including Emperor Zhang Xuan, understood her strategy - water attack.

"Your Majesty, if the sluice is opened to release the water, the river that has been accumulated for a long time will surely rush down and rush directly to Suiye City. In an instant, Suiye City will be submerged by floods, and the sudden riders..." Tian Kexin's mouth twitched With a faint ruthlessness, "Flooding Suiye City, Tuqi Shiren will undoubtedly be defeated."

It really is a good plan, but also a poisonous plan.

As a military adviser and general, Tian Kexin finally began to play a role.

Guo Ziyi pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this plan is very clever, but there are still people living in Suiye City, if Suiye City is flooded, the civilians may be injured."

Tian Kexin smiled coldly, turned her head to look at Guo Ziyi and said, "Mr. Guo's words are wrong. The common people and merchants in Suiye City have already fled because of the occupation of Tuqishi. According to the news obtained by Kexin, most of the people fled to Qiuci. In the city, there are only Tuqishi with [-] cavalry."

"Your Majesty, the so-called success of great things does not stick to small details. If Your Majesty wants to achieve great success, he must not be merciful and have the kindness of a woman!"

"Besides, please think about it, Your Majesty. In the past, Tuqishi slaughtered the city of Hanhai and killed tens of thousands of soldiers, civilians, and merchants in our dynasty. How could he ever be merciful? Casualties are inevitable in wars. Why should Your Majesty hesitate?"

Tian Kexin spoke convincingly, feeling slightly agitated.

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, waved his hands and said, "Ms. Guo, what Ke Xin said is very true, but I have fallen behind. How about this, pass on the order, and act in secret according to Ke Xin's plan, and don't reveal the secret."

Guo Ziyi clasped her fists silently and took the order to leave.

After everyone had dispersed, Tian Kexin slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Xuan, and sighed quietly, "Your Majesty's actions are really unfathomable. Kexin knew that she had fallen into His Majesty's trap, but she jumped in without hesitation— —The Emperor’s Mind Art, this is the Emperor’s Mind Art..."

"Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages, and the reputation of the oracle is of great importance. Ke Xin and Guo Xiang will do it together. Your Majesty should stay out of it."

Zhang Xuan was silent, and after a long time he said softly, "I am not trying to gain fame, but I am attached to the Chinese court, so I should do something and not do something. Even if Kexin doesn't speak up today, there must be other generals to speak up ... All these things, I owe Kexin a favor, and I will never forget that Kexin has made great contributions to the country when he returns to Beijing."

Tian Kexin shook her head lightly, "Your Majesty cares about the selflessness of the world, and Kexin knows it well. That being the case, Kexin should do her best for His Majesty's success. It is not because of coveting glory and wealth, but because of being with His Majesty." Share the prosperity of this world, the country will last forever..."

Zhang Xuan stared at Tian Kexin and sighed, "There are countless good ministers and generals under my command, but Kexin is the only one who can know my heart. When the world is stable, Kexin is indispensable in the court. position. I can promise this."

"If you are willing to enter the palace, I will treat everyone equally..." Zhang Xuan paused, "If your ambition is not here, I will never force you."

Tian Kexin bowed profusely, "Kexin is willing to be His Majesty's minister forever, please Your Majesty for mercy."

Tian Kexin's confession showed her own attitude.She is unwilling to enter the palace as a concubine. Although she has other feelings for the emperor, she still insists on being the only female official and virtuous minister who ranks above the court as a woman throughout the ages.

This is her long-cherished wish.

Zhang Xuan nodded, walked down slowly, and reached out to help Tian Kexin up.Tian Kexin's hand was soft and slightly cool, being held by the emperor, she trembled slightly.

Zhang Xuan hugged Tian Kexin in his arms, then suddenly pushed her away, and said with a loud smile, "I will definitely fulfill you, and from now on, I will treat you equally with all ministers, and no longer Treat you like a woman."

……

……

The envoys of the Fire-Spitting Immortal went back and conveyed the meaning of the Chinese Emperor. The Fire-Spitting Immortal was very ashamed and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.And just when the Fire Spit Immortal was under high pressure and was about to send people to the Zhonghua camp to bow down again, the Tuqi Shiren unexpectedly discovered that Nan Jiyun's Shence Army and the Ge Luolu people began to evacuate along the way.And Feng Changqing's Anxi army also slowly retreated westward, and the originally impenetrable encirclement seemed to reveal a way out.

However, the Tuqi Shiren couldn't figure out the movement of the Chinese army, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and directly missed the best opportunity to abandon the city and flee.If the Fire Spitting Immortal could make a decisive decision and lead his army to escape from Suiye City at the critical moment when Feng Changqing and Nan Jiyun's troops retreated, even if the Chinese army attacked from three sides, they would still be able to kill a bloody road.

It's a pity that Tuqi Shiren missed the best time.

The upper reaches of the Broken Leaf River.

Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers threw countless sandbags and straw bales into the river, and within half a day, the Suiye River, which was constantly flowing, began to stop flowing.However, the upper reaches of the water were intercepted by the Chinese soldiers, and the extension was excavated to form a dam.Almost at the same time, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers in the downstream, under Guo Ziyi's personal command, jumped down the river and began to widen the channel from the Suiye River to the moat of Suiye City.

The Tuqishi people in Suiye City didn't realize that within a few days, the water level of the moat dropped by half, while the river channel leading to the outside world was silently widened several times.

On the banks of Sailimu Lake on the west side of Suiye City, there are also Chinese soldiers active.It's just that the Tuqi Shiren didn't know what the Chinese army was doing, and the fire-breathing fairy never dreamed that the Chinese emperor wanted to flood Suiye City and turn their [-] Tuqi Shi cavalry into a turtle in an urn.

early morning.

The Chinese army in the front quietly pulled out their camp and began to march eastward, giving way to the entire Suiye City.

When the morning glow rose in the eastern sky at dawn, Guo Ziyi got off his horse, clasped his fists to Tian Kexin who was standing on the high slope, smiled and said, "Master Tian, ​​our army camp has already evacuated, and Suiye City is already an isolated city. It can be implemented."

Tian Kexin has been gazing at Sailimu Lake to the west.In this plan to flood Suiye City, Sailimu Lake is actually a dispensable link.It's just that Tian Kexin also came up with the idea of ​​Sailimu Lake in order to be on the safe side and to enhance the huge power of the flood.

In a few days, the Chinese soldiers dug a channel leading to the moat of Suiye City, diverting the water from Sailimu Lake into the moat of Suiye City.In the past two days, the water of Sailimu Lake has flowed down the river, filling up the water level of the moat due to the interruption of the Suiye River.

At this time, if Suiyehe's long-stored power gushes down, it will be a disaster after all.

Tian Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Guo Ziyi, and then gestured to a female soldier behind her.

The female soldiers raised their heads and waved the red command flag.

A rough voice yelled: "Dig the dam, break the embankment!"

Not long after, the dam was dug.The flood that had accumulated for many days poured down, roaring along the widened river channel towards Suiye City. Creepy.

Only then did Tuqi Shiren wake up, but it was too late to retreat at this time.The rushing flood destroyed the two city gates and several sections of the city walls of Suiye City almost instantly, and the whole Suiye City shook like an earthquake.
