Chapter 379: A Strategy to Defeat the Enemy from a Dream
Jiang Chen flattened the camp left by King Huai'an.
The camp of the Northern Army was pushed forward several miles.
After setting up camp again, Jiang Chen called all the generals into the central military tent.
After all the generals gathered together, Jiang Chen spoke to everyone.
"Okay, now we only have the Xia Kingdom in front of us that we haven't taken down yet."
"As for the southern half of Xia Country, Canglang Country has already conquered it for us."
"As long as we successfully take over the capital of Xia Kingdom."
" The entire Xia Kingdom will become our northern border's world."
Having said that, Jiang Chen stopped and turned his gaze to Gongsun Liang who had just arrived from Liaochengzhou.
Seeing Jiang Chen set his eyes on him, Gongsun Liang knew.
My lord wanted to ask me if there was any good strategy to capture the capital of Xia State.
So, Gongsun Liang stood up and bowed to Jiang Chen.
According to the information Gongsun Liang had previously learned from the "Ant Hole".
Today, the capital of the Xia Kingdom is under the management of Yu Anmin.
It had long since become a fortified city, built on the foundation of the original city wall of the Xia Kingdom's capital.
Another layer of city wall was built outside it, in addition to this.
Yu Anmin also filled a layer of hard granite between the two layers of the city walls.
In addition, Yu Anmin poured a layer of iron liquid on the outermost layer of the city wall.
It can be said that if such a city wall is to be built, it must rely on existing artillery.
It is impossible to break it open, leaving only craters on it.
As for the tunnel that Jiang Chen used to cooperate with King Huai'an to capture the capital.
After King Huai'an entered the capital, he ordered people to fill it up.
Therefore, it would be very difficult for the northern army to capture the capital of Xia.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Liang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
After a long time, Gongsun Liang bowed to Jiang Chen and said.
"My lord, if our army wants to capture the capital of Xia Kingdom."
"I'm afraid we'll have to lose some soldiers to achieve this goal."
After listening to Gongsun Liang's words, Jiang Chen already understood what Gongsun Liang meant.
Facing a strong city like the capital of Xia Kingdom, Jiang Chen wanted to capture it.
They could only rely on the manpower of the northern army and the ladders.
Rush to the city wall of Xia State’s capital and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders in the city!
After anticipating the possibility of this method in his mind, Jiang Chen shook his head.
"No, the life of every soldier in the North is precious."
"It's not worth it to let them lose their lives for the capital of Xia Country!"
"In the future, they will all follow me and travel the world."
“It would be a waste of their lives if they were to lose their lives here.”
Jiang Chen said this while shaking his head helplessly.
Although a commander should not have such thoughts.
But every soldier in the northern army was carefully trained by Jiang Chen.
If these elite soldiers were used in things like sieges.
That would definitely be the greatest insult to these soldiers!
Seeing that Jiang Chen rejected his plan, Gongsun Liang did not feel anything strange.
After all, if he were the lord, he would definitely not choose such a method.
But at the moment, they really couldn't think of a better solution.
For a moment, the entire central military tent fell into dead silence.
Even General Huo and other generals were frowning and thinking hard.
Looking at everyone racking their brains, Jiang Chen sighed lightly, waved at everyone, and said.
"Okay, let's stop here for today!"
"You all should step back first and think carefully, if you can come up with any good plan."
"You can come to me anytime, I will reward you handsomely!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen stood up, turned around and walked into the back tent, then lay down on the bed to rest.
Seeing this, the generals and Gongsun Liang had no choice but to leave temporarily.
Jiang Chen did not fall asleep after returning to the back tent. Instead, he was thinking hard in his mind about how to capture the capital of the Xia Kingdom.
As he was thinking, Jiang Chen fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, Jiang Chen dreamed that he successfully captured the capital of Xia Kingdom.
After ascending the throne, he married a number of women including Chen Yueru.
After several years in the dream, Chen Yueru gave birth to a son and a daughter for him.
Jiang Chen was very fond of the brother and sister and wished he could keep them by his side every day.
That day, in the dream, Jiang Chen was handling government affairs in the imperial study, but suddenly his daughter ran over.
"Daddy, Daddy, let's go fly a kite!"
"Little girl, all you do is play all day long and even want to fly a kite."
"What are you putting aside? Have you finished all the homework your mother assigned to you?"
Faced with his daughter's request, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and asked back.
However, when Jiang Chen finished saying these words, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"etc!"
"Kite...kite..."
"Yes, a kite! It's a kite!!"
"Hahahaha... I finally thought of a solution!"
Jiang Chen woke up from his dream while laughing happily.
Recalling the idea that just came to my mind because of the dream.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart!
Without thinking too much, Jiang Chen quickly sent someone to call Gongsun Liang over.
After hearing Jiang Chen's plan, Gongsun Liang was slightly stunned at first.
But soon, Gongsun Liang came back to his senses and bowed to Jiang Chen in disbelief.
"My lord is truly a god!"
"I originally thought there was really no other way, but then the lord came up with this plan."
"It really opened my eyes. I am ashamed!"
Gongsun Liang said this and smiled at Jiang Chen a little embarrassedly.
As an advisor to his lord, he could not come up with any good ideas when his lord needed them most.
As a result, before even one night had passed, his lord had already come up with a brilliant plan.
This made Gongsun Liang, the strategist, not sure whether he should be happy for himself.
Or should I feel ashamed of myself for not coming up with a plan this time.
Looking at Gongsun Liang with a complicated expression , Jiang Chen just walked over with a smile.
After patting Gongsun Liang heavily on the shoulder, Jiang Chen said to him with a smile.
"Alright, my Lord Military Advisor."
"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and try my plan."
"If it works, you'll have done a great job."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Gongsun Liang came back to his senses.
After calming down his complicated emotions, Gongsun Liang bowed to Jiang Chen and said.
"My lord, please rest assured. I will try it according to your instructions!"
After saying this, Gongsun Liang turned around impatiently and walked out of the central military tent.
Looking at Gongsun Liang's departing back, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and mutter to himself.
"If Gongsun Liang knew that this plan was told to me by my daughter in my dream, I wonder what he would think..."
