The moonlight is clear and the star marks are gorgeous. A curved crescent moon is dotted among the thousands of stars and the soft clouds are reflected by the light and silvery light, like a hazy fairy with a thin layer of clear gauze, making people feel all kinds of infinite imaginations in their cuteness.

The sound of horse hooves slowly rumbled on the street. Looking at the streets, a large number of brocade-clothed men with copper signs hanging between their waists and legs, a row of horse stairs who had just patrolled the passing horses and stairs carefully passed them and walked quickly along the street.

After moving the soft couch, Yang Lin, who was sitting in the carriage, yawned lazily: "What do you think?"

"How?" Ling Gang, who was sitting opposite Yang Lin, kept leaning back, making the body leaning against the soft cushion of the car wall more comfortable. He said playfully: "Don't tell me, you don't know anything. Don't play in front of me if you pretend to be stupid."

Yang Lin snorted, staring at Ling Gang with a slanted corner of his eyes and said, "When is it that you still have the heart to play with me like this mute fan? Damn, I am not only a headache for these monsters, but how will that little girl deal with it if she finds her back in the city! At this critical moment, I don't have time to play with her."

Ling Gang laughed dryly and smacked her lips: "What a small matter? The little princess likes to play with the tenderness of the world. Let's do it a virtual world to make her happy. It's just that the Sixth Prince, do you have any countermeasures?"

"Countermeasure?" Yang Lin blinked his eyes and asked knowingly: "Eunuch An is just paying his birthday to his wife. He just took a break in Jiangling for a few days to purchase things. What countermeasures can I imagine?"

"Bah!" Ling Gang spat with disdain, "If that old castrated man is really here to buy things, I will cut off my head and give it to you as a ball. Jiangling is now at the moment, and the water is very deep! You kid are considered a local snake here. If those monsters and monsters come to see you, that's a real ghost."

Ling Gang looked at Yang Lin very seriously and said, "I have been traveling through time so easily. All my hopes are placed on you, a bastard. If you let me down again, I might as well find a piece of tofu to kill you!"

Take out a three-inch long from your pocket, and it is wrapped in a thick and transparent layer, like a crystal-shaped pen, slowly carved it among a piece of white paper drawn from the carriage. After a while, Ling Gang handed the ink and wash paper with a curve of the picture to Yang Lin and said proudly: "How about it, my sketching skills are still good, right?"

"This, this is..." Yang Lin shouted softly. The blueprints depicted on the paper were clearly abbreviated dungeons. The key areas of the city above were described with triangle marks and text, while the river basins separated there were rows of lines like waves, which were used to replace the abbreviation. This white paper looked simple on the surface, but in fact, it had simply painted the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers from Huaizhong, Jingxiang, and even Jiangling on the paper.

Ling Gang looked at Yang Lin with a dazed look in his expression, and smiled and said with a low smile: "How about it, I have read the antique map in my notebook, plus the current map of the rivers in the southern Tang Dynasty, which is the essence of the sketch!"

Yang Lin stared at the drawing intently and said in a slutty saliva: "You have so many other things you have to hide from me. You might as well take this opportunity to teach me!"

"As the saying goes, I will teach my apprentice, without a master, if you want to learn all my skills, you should wait a few more years!" Ling Gang hummed with a gloomy face and lowered his voice, "It's not too late to mention such trivial matters in the future. Now, let's talk about the situation in front of you!"

He pointed to a row of code-named cities on the lower left of the drawing, and was talking in his mouth, and his fingers kept moving, describing: "Look, this is the route of Qi's army's entry from Huaihe. Judging from the current line, Linjiang has fallen into a trap. The long process of the Thousand Mile Waterway below, the commander of the Qi army has three choices. The first is to choose to defend on the spot, wield the army and re-defend the nearby cities, and cut off all the main roads in Runan.

"Now it is the time when the Huai River is spreading. If the Qi Navy chooses this item, there is no need to say much about the benefits. Whether it is the itinerary, defense, or terrain, they have completely occupied an excellent state. Runan alone can be stuck between the Fuyong of the Southern Tang Dynasty like a nail. If it takes a long time, once the river channel is stabilized again and the Huai River retreats, Jiangnan, Tianshui, and Jingxiang can be said to be all in the extension of their land corners. In the future, no matter which angle the Qi army advances from, they will be able to use Runan as the base base and attack from all directions to rage all over the place!"

Yang Lin nodded, and was about to agree with what Ling Gang said, suddenly the sound of hungry people coming from outside the carriage disrupted his thoughts. A sudden flash of mind seemed to remind him of something, and asked in confusion: "Although what is said is good, how should Qi Jun solve the problem of food and grass?"

According to some military books that Yang Yi once taught that the three armies had not moved and food and grass were first, Yang Lin calculated with his fingers: "Although Qi Ting calculated the earthquake for a long time, the army would never be less than 150,000 in this attack. More than 100,000 troops were consumed. If a war broke out in his own country, he could still be collected on the spot. However, it is now a war in our southern Tang Dynasty, especially..., especially the entire county in Runan has been flooded, and the rice and wheat grain fields in the countryside and the grain warehouses between the cities and cities in various prefectures were mostly washed away. Therefore, the problem of food and grass collected on the spot by Qi army must be settled by completely wasted."

"So..." After a long silence, facing the strange and admirable look flashed in Ling Gang's eyes, Yang Lin smiled relaxedly: "This attack was completely advanced from the waterways in Huaizhong. The food and grass of the Qi army must be carried by the waterways. However, based on the size of the Qi army's warships and the amount of supplies needed for siege and camping, the amount of food and grass they carried was calculated in three months.

"So, the food and grass problem of the Qi army is the biggest flaw in their attack this time. Water transportation is different from land. A large number of frigates must be transported. Although Runan has been completely captured, except for the destruction of some local defenders, the navy clusters have not suffered much loss. If General Manager Du and others come to assist the navy, they are fully capable of conducting comprehensive combat with the main navy of Qi army in the Qianli waterway behind Qi. On the way to restrain, some fleets can be divided into various river basins in Huaizhong to snipe Qi Ting's transport fleet."

"As for wanting to transport food and grass by land, it's still easy to say if you want to transport food and grass by land in the inland area, but now the Runan area is full of water and silt, it's impossible to be suitable for the travel of the brigade's supplies. So no matter how you calculate it, water transportation is conducive to land transportation, but if you add more measurements between the two..." Yang Lin chuckled silently: "I don't really understand the things like military calligraphy and military techniques. But from the simplest way, the Qi army's surprise attack took up time and land, but it's probably not that easy to continue transporting food and grass between the Huai River?"

"It's OK!" Ling Gang patted his palms gently, and praised with a low smile: "You bastard reasoning, although you still lack the heat when you got it on the table, but according to your age, it's the limit."

"Reasoning?" Yang Lin rolled his eyes strangely, and looked at Ling Gang with some confusion, as if he was very curious about this new word.

"Uh..." Ling Gang licked his lips awkwardly, and explained casually, hahaha: "About this 'reasoning', hahaha, it is actually a new word in our world. That is, the meaning of formal logic. Simply put, it is to conduct inference and verification in various ways under a certain theory by studying the logical methods between human thinking forms and laws!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Ling Gang waved his hand and interrupted his previous words to himself. Then he showed a serious expression on his face: "The first choice I have already said, and the next one is to talk about the second one." Pointing to the small row of marked city counties on the right side of the drawing, Ling Gang said to Yang Lin with a humming voice: "Look!"

"This..., here is!!!" After looking at the row of drainage waves between the drawings, the end marked by Ling Gang with a large arrow curve, Yang Lin's expression changed and shouted: "Zhe'an, Yonghua, Hang, Hang..., Hangling???"

"What do you think?" Ling Gang nodded expressionlessly, pointed to the end city marked by the big arrow curve - Hangling, and said: "If I were the commander of the Qi army, without any worries and the complete food and supplies, I could advance from Linjiang to land and water from land and water, and first lead heavy troops to capture Zhejiang'an. Then the troops were divided into three groups, first use the main force of the navy to cross the two rivers, block the navy from the south of the Yangtze River to support the navy, and then divide the navy from the Jinshayan in Yong'an down the river, and the last one..."

Speaking of this, Ling Gang laughed fiercely: "So-called soldiers are the most important thing. Before the Southern Tang army was fully assembled, I will attack Yonghua with 100,000 infantry and cavalry. As long as Yonghua falls and cooperates with the riverside naval army along the way from Jinshayan, then Hangling is in danger."

Unconsciously, a slight layer of sweat had already flowed out of Yang Lin's forehead. Indeed, from Ling Gang's reasoning point of view, every step he mentioned had sufficient feasible ability to act strategically. Even if Yang Lin did not understand military books and military affairs, he also understood the geographical potential of Zhejiang and Yonghua, and once they passed, it would be Hangling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Although Hangling is the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is completely inferior to Yanjing, the capital of Qi, or Luoyang, the capital of Jin. When Li Jian established the capital of Hangling, a minister had advised him to investigate the defense of the city walls for the additional construction of the capital, but Li Jian refused to smile in a very dissatisfied tone and said, "If the enemy can come from Jiangnan, Tianshui, Jingxiang and even Guanxi to attack Hangling, then what's the use of building the city walls even to build a height of 100 feet?"

Li Jian’s words are absolutely correct if we look at them from a general perspective. Because most of the villages and villages around Hangling are farmed with mulberry silk, but there are not many grain fields at all. At that time, the profit of planting mulberry silkworms and raising silkworms was much more than that of farming with loess and backs to the sky.

The soil in Hangzhouling area is fertile and the climate is warm and humid, which is the most suitable geographical environment for mulberry fields to weave silk. In addition, Runan, Tianshui, Jingxiang and other places are famous grain-producing counties, so most of the grain consumption in Hangzhouling area is transported and provided by these places.

If one day the enemy can really fight from these places from all directions to the capital of the Southern Tang Kingdom, then what's the use of defending the city wall of Hangling even if it is one hundred feet? As long as the enemy blocks the periphery, once there is no food or food, even if it is a strictly sealed iron-armored fortress, it will be destroyed without attack.

The Southern Tang Dynasty was rich and powerful on the surface, but in fact, the area of ​​military use and defense was extremely wide. Jingxiang, Tianshui, and Guanxi were all over the territory of the territory where the troops were extremely luxurious. The capital of Hangling, which surrounded the inland, had only more than 30,000 people used for guarding and patrolling. Therefore, the second choice mentioned by Ling Gang was, once the Qi army was selected by the Qi army and the strategy of attacking the area was extremely likely to be used as a range.
