Hanzhou, the rebel army’s main camp.

As the night deepened, the campfire in the camp flickered in the darkness, illuminating the faces of the people who stood firm. Everyone's face was filled with tiredness and satisfaction, as they knew that the war would soon be over, and that they would be able to live a peaceful and prosperous life.

At this moment, a spy rushed into the battle, holding an urgent report tightly in his hand. He said breathlessly: "General, the people we sent out have brought urgent information."

"Oh?"

Yuan Jingxin exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly had a bad feeling when looking at the information in his hand. Could it be that the conspiracy of the Northern Barbarians has been discovered by them?
He unfolded the letter, glanced at the words on it, and his face turned pale instantly.

"What a cruel trick!" Yuan Jingxin cursed in a low voice, and the letter in his hand was crumpled. His heart was in turmoil, shock and anger intertwined.

This piece of intelligence came from Miyun City, and it detailed the fact that the Northern Barbarians had formed an alliance with the rebel army, and planned to use the water from the Miyun Reservoir to annihilate the rebel army in one fell swoop.

Even he had to admit that although this plan was vicious, it was extremely effective. If it succeeded, the rebels would not just face defeat, but a real disaster.

If it were him, he would also make such a decision when he was desperate, but he never expected that the dignified Emperor Daqian could be so cruel and cruel as to disregard the lives of nearly one million innocent people in Yangzhou.

This is no longer just a disregard for human life, but a truly heinous crime that is beyond description.

He clenched his fists tightly together, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes flashed with flames of anger. He could now imagine the scene of devastating suffering after Hanzhou was flooded.

"These damn Northern Barbarians and Daqian are so vicious!" He couldn't help but say angrily, with a slight tremor in his voice.

But after the anger subsided, Yuan Jingxin also understood the impact of this incident on the entire battle situation. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to be angry, and he had to inform Lin Zhongyun of the news as soon as possible so that he could take effective countermeasures.

Otherwise, if Daqian succeeds, he will be the sinner of the entire rebel army and the whole world.

"Someone come here!" Yuan Jingxin shouted in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

A personal soldier immediately ran over and bowed, "General, what do you want?"

"Prepare your horses immediately. I'm going to see Lord Lin Zhongyun." Yuan Jingxin said firmly, with a determined light in his eyes.

Soon, they arrived in front of Lin Zhongyun's tent.

Yuan Jingxin dismounted and strode into the tent. Lin Zhongyun was handling military affairs, and when he saw Yuan Jingxin's serious expression, he immediately put down the work in his hands.

"What? Is there an emergency?"

Lin Zhongyun frowned slightly, and looking at Yuan Jingxin's gloomy expression, his heart sank.

"Your Highness, a piece of intelligence just came from Miyun City. Liu Wulie is really crazy and wants to drown our entire rebel army." Yuan Jingxin said in a deep voice, with strong anger in his tone. It was obvious that the anger in his heart had not yet subsided.

"Flood the entire rebel army?" Lin Zhongyun was stunned when he heard the news, then he took the intelligence in disbelief and confirmed the contents again and again. His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Zhongyun was stunned. Then he took the information in disbelief and confirmed the contents again and again.

Although he had prepared for the worst, Lin Zhongyun was still furious when he heard the news. His face turned ashen, his brows knitted tightly together, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"You bastard!" he cursed, his voice filled with anger and unwillingness.

Not only is he a traitor and colludes with foreign races, but he also wants to drown all the innocent people in Hanzhou. What a bastard!
Liu Wulie was the emperor of Daqian after all. Couldn't he see the stakes involved? How could he face the ancestors of Daqian in the underworld? How could he face the people who still supported him?
"In order to harm himself, he even disregarded the safety of the entire people!" Lin Zhongyun said angrily, with a tremor in his voice.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to get angry and he had to take action as soon as possible to prevent the conspiracy of the Northern Barbarians and Daqian from succeeding.

"Continue to investigate. Since the Northern Barbarians have received this information, they will definitely take action and will not sit idly by and watch Daqian succeed."

He looked at Yuan Jingxin and ordered in a deep voice: "Also, withdraw all the spies from other cities and send them to Miyun City and Tongzhou Reservoir."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said word by word: "From now on, I want to know every move of the rebel army and Liu Wulie."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Yuan Jingxin lowered his head tightly. He felt an unquestionable arrogance in Lin Zhongyun's tone. He understood that this was no longer a simple order, but a military order.

Obviously, Liu Wulie's madness and disregard for the comfort of the people of Hanzhou had angered Lin Zhongyun.

"Call Li Zhongwu here immediately. We cannot be careless about this matter." Lin Zhongyun continued, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

In recent days, Li Zhongwu has rushed back from the northern barbarian border, and his Wudang Flying Army is about to be put to use.

Soon, Li Zhongwu came into the big tent.

"Flood the army?"

When Li Zhongwu heard the news, he was stunned and extremely shocked.

He knew that the Northern Barbarians had their reasons for doing this, but he did not expect that there was such a vicious plan hidden behind it.

"Yes, we don't have much time left."

Lin Zhongyun nodded, his face somewhat serious, and continued to say as he looked at Li Zhongwu, "I heard that when you came back, you fought with the main force of the Northern Barbarians. How was their fighting power?"

"I was just about to tell His Majesty about this!"

When it comes to business, Li Zhongwu's face becomes serious, and his brows slightly wrinkle. Recalling the situation of fighting with the Northern Barbarians, he said in a deep voice: "Abandon the concept of mutual hostility. Ask yourself, in terms of combat power, there is still a big gap between us and the Northern Barbarians.

The difference between them is not only reflected in the sturdiness and strong physique of the war horses they ride, but more importantly, their strict discipline and almost fanatical love for fighting are the most admirable and frightening. "

"Oh?" Such an evaluation surprised Lin Zhongyun. It was not easy to hear such words from Li Zhongwu's mouth.

"It's not that I'm being self-deprecating. It's just that the Northern Barbarians' main force is so fearless and brave that it's terrifying."

He took a deep breath. Even now, when he recalled the time when they were alone and brave, he still felt a pang of fear. The Northern Barbarian Cavalry, which consisted of only a few people, were able to burst out with such combat power and injured many of their brothers.

At this moment, he was somewhat thankful that they had made sufficient preparations when dealing with Tan Tai Ao, trapping him in the canyon and leaving the North Manchurian Iron Cavalry with nowhere to display their force. Otherwise, if they really delayed until the Northern Barbarian Army's support arrived, then everything would be too late.

"In that case, what are the chances of victory if the rebel army faces the Northern Barbarian Cavalry head-on?" Lin Zhongyun asked. Now he needed to have an accurate estimate of the combat effectiveness of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry so that he could decide how to deal with all this next.

Hearing this, Li Zhongwu's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and he patted his chest and replied: "Please rest assured, Your Highness. Even though the Northern Barbarians' Iron Cavalry is unmatched, as long as I am here, I will never let their evil plan succeed."

"But if we really have to face the Northern Barbarian Cavalry, the entire rebel army will probably have to pay a huge price and suffer heavy losses."

"Ok!"

Lin Zhongyun simply responded, and Li Zhongwu's words made him fall into deep thought.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his mind was full of thoughts. He knew that the challenge facing the rebels was not only the powerful combat power of the Northern Barbarians' Iron Cavalry, but if the plan to flood the three armies succeeded, not only would the rebels suffer heavy losses, but the innocent people of Hanzhou would also be plunged into dire straits.

"In this case, we must try our best to avoid large-scale battles with the Northern Barbarians, especially on the plains that are conducive to cavalry charges." Lin Zhongyun said in a deep voice, with a calm light flashing in his eyes.

"But Your Highness, when I came here, I had already observed the terrain of Hanzhou. It is flat and you can see the end at a glance. There are not many steep places." Li Zhongwu said with a frown.

Li Zhongwu's words made Lin Zhongyun feel even more depressed.

Now the Northern Barbarians and Daqian are fighting against each other with a plan of flooding the three armies. Even if Daqian has ulterior motives and wants to get rid of the Northern Barbarians as well, this plan has already been known by the Northern Barbarians.

If he were Chagan Wuli, he would definitely not tear his face off at this time, but pretend that he knew nothing, and actually secretly send troops to take control of the Tongzhou Reservoir, thus catching Liu Wulie off guard.

This means that the Tongzhou Reservoir has become extremely important. Whoever controls the Tongzhou Reservoir will also control the initiative of this war.

From the perspective of the rebels, they must never open the gates of the Miyun Reservoir to release water, otherwise all the fighting power and all the glory will become vain.

This means that the rebel army must take control of the Tongzhou Reservoir and the Miyun Reservoir in order to avoid all this.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he suddenly thought of the Wu Dang Flying Army, which had not yet taken action. You know, the Wu Dang Flying Army is best at crossing mountains and ridges. The bows and crossbows and poison arrows in their arms are best at assassination and assassination.

"If we can sneak into Tongzhou Reservoir and Miyun Reservoir in advance and quietly eliminate all the people stationed there, then it will be up to us to decide whether to open the gates to release the water." Lin Zhongyun's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly.

"First of all, because it is a reservoir, they definitely cannot station too many troops inside the reservoir. As long as they are careful enough, they can do all this."

"Your Highness, are you referring to the Wu Dang Flying Army?" Li Zhongwu was the first to react. "But Your Highness, can we really sneak into Miyun City and eliminate the barbarians inside without anyone noticing? Is this possible?"

Li Zhongwu frowned and said that although this plan was brilliant and enough to solve the current dilemma, it was somewhat taken for granted.

"What's more, the main force of the Northern Barbarians is now stationed outside the Miyun Reservoir. If anything happens in the city, they will definitely rush into the city at the first opportunity. At that time, our people will be surrounded."

With a serious look on his face, he looked at Lin Zhongyun and advised: "Your Highness, it is too dangerous to do this. Once we are discovered by the Northern Barbarians, we will..."

However, in response to Li Zhongwu's doubts, Lin Zhongyun smiled and said calmly: "I have already thought about your concerns, but you have overlooked the most important point, which is the number of our Wudang Flying Army."

"As for the main force of the Northern Barbarians stationed outside the city, the situation is even simpler."

Lin Zhongyun continued, "The Northern Barbarians definitely don't want to break off relations with Daqian yet. If we put pressure on Liu Wulie, he will definitely ask for help from the Northern Barbarians.

In order to prevent Liu Wulie from discovering that he has become suspicious, the Northern Barbarians will definitely send troops to support them, so they will not be able to concentrate their forces to defend the reservoir. "

"It's just that it's still a bit too risky to do this."

Li Zhongwu's brows were gloomy. He understood that this was the only way to solve the current predicament, but the risk of doing so was too great.

If Chagan Uli really broke off relations with Daqian and immediately opened the floodgates to release water without caring about Liu Wulie's life or death, the rebel army would be the first to bear the brunt and die.

Lin Zhongyun ignored Li Zhongwu's concerns and looked into the distance at the Qianqing Palace, which was only one city away. He said with a burning gaze, "There are a total of 60,000 Wudang Flying Army soldiers. The Tongzhou Reservoir is small and the troops stationed there are few. Sending 10,000 Wudang Flying Army soldiers will be enough. I plan to send 20,000 to the Miyun Reservoir."

Li Zhongwu was shocked by Lin Zhongyun's determination. He knew the fighting effectiveness of the Wudang Flying Army, but he still couldn't help but worry about them.

"Hanzhou's flat terrain will certainly be an excellent place to flood the three armies, but it is also conducive to our march. I plan to take two approaches at the same time. While capturing the Miyun Reservoir, I will also attack the main force of the Northern Barbarians stationed outside the city, so that they will have no time to return to the reservoir for reinforcement."

"Your Highness is wise."

Li Zhongwu's eyes lit up and he immediately understood everything.

The terrain of Hanzhou is certainly conducive to the charge of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry, but it is also convenient for their rebel army. On ordinary mountainous terrain, it is no problem for them to march fifty miles a day, and on this flat terrain, marching a hundred miles a day is not impossible as long as they endure a little hardship.

When they faced Chu Yun's encirclement and suppression, it only took them one day and one night to reach Yangzhou from Yuzhou, and then launched a blitzkrieg against Jialingcheng.

Although they are far away from Miyun City now, it is nothing compared to the distance from Yuzhou to Yangzhou. They can reach Miyun City from here overnight.

At that time, with their joint efforts inside and outside, what could they do even if the abnormalities of the Miyun Reservoir were discovered by the Northern Barbarian Cavalry outside the city?

"Ok!"

Lin Zhongyun nodded and continued, "The key to this plan is that the actions of the Wu Dang Flying Army must be kept absolutely secret and no news can be leaked."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This time I have selected the most elite among them to ensure that their actions are foolproof." Li Zhongwu said firmly, with a burning desire in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
