She Song

Chapter 116 The Crisis Emerges
Jiang Queer, who was still guessing why Zheng Liang was reforming honestly, was led directly to the North Embankment of the Yellow River by Han Xiaoyao.

The turbid river water is rolling and flowing, and the width of the water surface has increased several times compared with that in winter. Occasionally, there are fishing boats like small leaves.

Han Xiaoyao once again stared at the city outline in the south, which looked dark and cold in the sun.

After a long time, Han Xiaoyao asked: "Aque, what do you want to do in the future?"

"Learn skills from the master, serve the master, and provide for you until the end of your life!"

"Haha!" Han Xiaoyao laughed, and then said: "Don't you want to be a general or a high official?"

Jiang Queer asked strangely: "Of course it's good to be an official, but it doesn't affect my ability to serve you!"

Han Xiaoyao nodded, pointed his riding crop at the river and asked, "Can you swim across it?"

"Of course!" Jiang Que'er looked at the river and said confidently: "Uncle Fourteen requires that all trainees must be qualified in cross-country, swimming and formation. With the length of the river, people from the Guards Camp must at least go back and forth!"

Haha, I forgot about Yuan Shili’s housekeeping skills...

Jiang Que'er asked curiously: "Master, why do you ask this suddenly? Anyway, the exam will be held soon, so just wait and see!"

Why are you interested in the Yellow River?
Last night, Han Xiaoyao obtained a confidential and sensitive information from Xiao Fugui's intelligence system and the circle of military commanders in Tokyo City.

The Imperial Army mobilized by the imperial court to the north of the embankment was not under one command, but under the command of two full-sized troops, one cavalry and one step forward. What was even more surprising was that the original Feng Yu and Xiang barracks were also ordered to return to full strength.

This is already [-] fully armed troops, concentrated in the pontoon camp. Feng Yu was promoted to the commander of Chengdu, and a senior internal officer was appointed as the military supervisor, and more complete defenses were being built.

Han Xiaoyao also learned that this matter did not pass the Privy Council. It was a sudden joint initiative by the Imperial City Department and Sanya to further monitor and defend Han Ji's soldiers.

This shows that Emperor Daojun knew and allowed Zhao Kai to do this.

Zhao Kai consciously and obviously slowly tightened the noose. Of course, the sudden increase in the number of forbidden troops was undoubtedly a warning to Han Xiaoyao, or a show off.

Prince Yun's Mansion can cut off the connection between the wasteland and Tokyo City at any time!

Tokyo City is the source of all important supplies for Han Ji. Once the floating bridge is blocked, the wasteland will inevitably fall into a panic where everyone is in danger.

Even if Han Ji is forced to resist, the defense camp of 800 people can fully support the Imperial Army cavalry for reinforcements. At that time, Han Ji's soldiers, who only have infantry, will have no choice but to kneel down and surrender.

When we met today, Xiao Fugui’s analysis was exactly the same.

In the wasteland, although Han Ji has stabilized the refugees and gradually improved management and control, the court and the royal family are still uneasy.

Song Zu said: How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
What's more, Han Ji's rise was too fast. Although he got the support of some powerful people and even emperors, he also offended more vested interests. These people wanted to crush Han Xiaoyao to ashes!

What's more, King Yun Zhao Kai also has ulterior motives.

Therefore, there are various signs that some people in Tokyo are impatient with the refugees in Tebei, and perhaps a spark can detonate the heated situation.

Without Han Xiaoyao's order, Yuan Shili might not have been able to make the determination to fight back.

This is also the main reason why Han Xiaoyao suddenly left Tokyo early in the morning to take charge of the soldiers in Dibei.

Now that his edge is revealed, Zhao Kai will never bluff and return the sword to its sheath.

surrender?

This was unacceptable to Han Xiaoyao, who had died once, so there was only one way left.

Head on!

The imperial army was completely defeated and Zhao Kai, the court and the emperor were frightened.

At present, there are more than 800 infantry and cavalry stationed inside and outside Tokyo, 500 regular Hanji soldiers, and 300 reserve troops in rotation training, totaling [-] people, all of whom are infantry and no cavalry.One to one hundred, exceeding any battle recorded in history books.

Han Xiaoyao was not afraid of the huge disparity in military strength between the two sides.

In fact, as long as they dare to maneuver and fight alone, there is a precedent for three soldiers chasing an enemy battalion.

With the current resources of Han Ji's rural soldiers and reserve troops, it is not a problem at all to capture the pontoon camp.But this would expose their strength early, prompting the Forbidden Army to concentrate its superior forces in a war of attrition, and even have enough forces to split up and attack together.

The refugees in the wasteland are the family members and friends of Han Ji's people. They are unable to resist the army armed to the teeth, and will be destroyed.

Therefore, even if you have to fight, you must fight smartly to maximize your own safety. It is best to attack before the opponent attacks.

Timing is the key.

The question is, when will the opponent choose to launch an attack?
Looking at the city of Tokyo, it seems that it is shrouded in clouds and fog, making it increasingly confusing.

How could Jiang Queer on the side guess that her master was ready to resist 20 soldiers?
Thinking of swimming across the river, he said casually: "We haven't seen each other for a few days. The river seems to be wider again. I think it will cost more to go back and forth..."

click!
A bright light seemed to flash in Han Xiaoyao's mind, and he vaguely touched a hint of mystery.

He immediately interrupted his apprentice, stared at him and asked sternly: "What did you just say?!"

"what!"

Jiang Queer was startled and said hurriedly: "Swim a round trip to..."

"previous!"

Jiang Queer was stunned, thought for a moment, pointed to the river and said, "I said the river is much wider. What, is there something wrong?"

Staring at the river at his feet, Han Xiaoyao suddenly asked in a confused manner: "I wonder when the river flood will be this year?"

Jiang Queer didn't know even more, but he suggested asking fishermen and old people in nearby villages to get a rough idea.

good idea!
An hour later, Han Xiaoyao had finished visiting three villages and got a relatively accurate time of the flood season.

Late June!

There are less than forty days left!

This is the best time for the army to attack.

Han Xiaoyao could predict that in the middle of the night with strong wind and rain, the violent floods would burst from the North Embankment and rush towards the wasteland like a giant beast. Han Ji's camp, hundreds of bamboo shacks, and tens of thousands of old, weak, women, and children would be swept away.

What a sword-killer!
Han Xiaoyao knew that this was not a conspiracy theory or a case of delusion.

Peeling away the bright shell of history, the dark depths are covered with the word "cannibalism" written in blood.

He never thought that those high-ranking officials and dignitaries would have the slightest bit of compassion before they achieved their planned goals.

Last year, millions of people in the prosperous Jiangnan were forced to sell their sons and daughters and become homeless due to exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Fangla rose up in rebellion. As a result, countless towns were destroyed by war and countless people died in vain.

The root of all this is just to build a magnificent Gen Yue to satisfy the personal desires of the Daojun Emperor.

The Forbidden Army, which treated the peasant rebels like wolves and tigers, was defeated before the Liao army was defeated, and the family and country would be devastated in a few years...

What kind of bullshit emperor is this?What rubbish army?What shameless court officials?

A group of vampires who devour poor people!
Scum!
