"That was before." Hong Chenglue said unceremoniously, "After He Chunhua became the general manager of Xiazhou, he kept delivering food to the front line. It seems that he can continue to do it and continue to deliver food. If Zhao Pan is not short of food, he will
Sir, how do you plan to fight?"
Nian Zanli suppressed some of his anger and greeted him with a smile: "What's General Hong's clever plan?"
If Wu Qing hadn't sent a message saying that Hong Cheng had a secret method to kill the enemy, what a shame, would he be so angry?
Naturally, there is another subtle reason, which both of them know very well, but neither of them can mention:
Hong Chenglue was a serious general of the Bejia Kingdom, with many meritorious deeds, and he was a surrender general who had just surrendered.
Who should be more polite to whom? Needless to say?
Hong Chenglue looked at the heavy rain outside the tent: "Stolen rain rather than snow, such bad weather is the best rhythm for the attack." The sound of rain and darkness can cover up all preparations against the enemy.
The annual tribute awaits him. No rational commander would forcefully cross the river at this time, otherwise the army would probably mutiny.
Sure enough, Hong Chenglue then asked: "What if I can let Lord Nian's army cross the river and land ashore?"
When he came, Nian Zanli said solemnly: "Please continue."
"Twelve years ago, Juan Bao, a disciple of the Qingyang Imperial Master of the Bejia Kingdom, defected. He was a foreign spy who infiltrated the country. Fortunately, he was quickly arrested and brought to justice. However, some of the treasures he stole have never been recovered.
, the most important one is the Imitation Cloud Water Vase enshrined in the Qing Palace, also called the Green Vase."
Bejia has four palaces: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each of which has a national master stationed in it. His status and treatment are transcendent. The other three palaces are easy to describe, but putting the word "spring" in front of the word for that palace is a bit inappropriate and can easily become garbled characters.
Therefore, the word "Qing" is used instead, and the owner of Qing Palace is the Qingyang Imperial Master.
"Imitation?" Nian Zanli was curious, "What about the genuine product?"
"The authentic product is in the hands of the ancient immortals. It has been so long that it has probably been annihilated long ago." Hong Cheng said briefly, "The real Yunshui Vase can collect water from the three rivers and five lakes. Legend has it that the immortals once used it to relieve a severe drought in a state.
."
"This imitation collected by Qing Palace was formed at the end of ancient times. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was far more abundant than it is now, but the immortals have become less and less and are about to disappear. This imitation was also accidentally created and can only be collected by half of the river.
The efficacy of water is far less than that of the genuine product, so the spiritual energy it consumes is far less than that of the genuine product. Later generations took great pains to preserve it carefully before it was passed down to the present."
His eyes moved slightly when he heard the New Year's Ceremony. Hong Chenglue would not mention this treasure for no reason, that is to say?
Sure enough, Hong Chenglue took out a soft cloth bag from his arms in the next second and opened it in front of Nian Zanli.
Inside is a gray bottle, whose texture is hard to tell whether it is jade or stone, or gray stone. It has a round belly, a narrow neck, and a wide mouth.
It doesn't match the poetic name of Yunshui Baoping.
The lid of the bottle is carved into the shape of a gecko, with its tail resting on the body of the bottle, its forelimbs holding the bottle mouth tightly, and horns growing on its head and nose.
Four words are engraved on the bottle:
Moisten the mountains and fertile fields.
Nian praised with great joy: "Thank you so much, General Hong! If you capture Zhao Pan, the general takes the lead!"
"No, I just lent you a bottle."
Nian Zanli carefully took out the bottle to enjoy and asked, "Isn't this treasure lost?" How could it be in Hong Chenglue's hands?
"After I resigned, I passed by Xiling Town. The neighboring county is where the disciples of Qingyang Imperial Master were arrested. I took my wife into the town for dinner, and unexpectedly I saw a green bottle in a grocery store, which was placed behind the door.
On the shelf." Hong Cheng slightly shook his head, "The treasure is covered in dust and wrapped with cobwebs, so it is very inconspicuous. If I had not seen it in the Qing Palace, I would have missed it. In the end, I bought it for fifteen coppers, and the store looked at me.
His eyes were like looking at a wronged person."
Nian Zanli sighed: "Such a treasure, no one knows the goods?"
"Not everyone can use heavy weapons, they can be used all the time. When Mr. Nian holds it in his hand, do you feel any fluctuation in mana?"
Nian shook his head in praise.
Holding this thing in your hand, it is no different from ordinary stone jade.
"Try to inject a little energy into it."
Nian Zanli did as he was told, and as soon as he poured in a little bit of energy, the gecko at the mouth of the bottle stretched its body and opened its mouth.
When it opens its mouth, the bottle opens.
Hong Chenglue picked up the tea cup and poured some water into the bottle.
The bottle immediately shed its gray stone exterior, revealing the base color of mutton-fat white jade. "It also responds to spiritual power, but the combined spiritual power of you and me can't wake it up."
The Nian Praise took back the original power, and the bottle returned to its original shape within three breaths.
"If you want to swallow half of the river's water, how do you use this vase?"
"There are only two kinds of power that can drive this treasure to activate its full effect." Hong Chenglue said sternly, "Either massive spiritual power, or massive elemental power."
Otherwise, he had been so miserable in Yuanbei in the past few years and would have sold the bottle for money.
After he resigned, he no longer had the strength to change the bottle. It looked like a worthless and shoddy handicraft.
As for spiritual power, haha, who in the world can have "massive" spiritual power?
"As I said before, this treasure can only be driven by the national master. With your official status and rank, you and I are still unable to meet its requirements. If you want it to operate, Mr. Nian must mobilize the energy of the army and pour it into it.
Okay." Hong Chenglue had already considered it, "Even so, how long the green bottle can swallow the river water depends on how long the energy given to it can last. The current water volume in the Han River is several times more than usual."
The Han River is now in a flood state, and the amount of runoff is an astonishing figure.
He has no intention of retreating. As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, even in a non-combat state, there are endless troubles to deal with in the army, and there are too many lice to bite.
"General Hong estimates that if our army uses this bottle, how long can it pacify the Han River?" If the army is halfway across the river, and suddenly the bottle can no longer hold up, and a frenzied wave rushes in, then the attack will become a big joke, and Zhao on the other side will
Hope you can laugh for several years, right?
"I see that your army is well-organized and has strict laws. Mr. Nian should be very popular with the army." Hong Chenglue led the troops himself, and some things can be seen at a glance.
"They are all veteran subordinates who have been in charge for more than ten years." Nian Zanli has been guarding the border for many years and has shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. "They trust me and allow me to lead the troops without worry."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There are fifty thousand people here?"
"Forty-six thousand people."
"Then, the energy inspired by this army can last at least... more than a quarter of an hour?" Hong Chenglue couldn't give an exact number. "You and I both know that the essence of magical weapons is to use human power to fight against the heaven and the earth. In such a situation,
I can't guarantee how long your army can last in the face of the flood."
Although the green bottle is magical, it is also a medium in nature, allowing the Xunzhou army to use Yuanli to resist the flood.
How long it can be carried is not determined by the green bottle, but depends on the military strength, morale, belief and determination of Nian Zanli's team.
"Only a quarter of an hour? It's too reluctant." Nian Zanli mused, "Besides, this attack has no return, so the Green Bottle shouldn't be used twice in a short period of time, right?"
"If you pour the water, you can swallow it again." Hong Chenglue pointed out, "The key to the problem is that you don't have the energy to supply it at that time. And because it will continue to drain all the energy of the army when crossing the river, so every time
Individuals will feel down, heavy, depressed, and even want to throw away their weapons."
In other words, this sneak attack on the other side must be successful, otherwise there will be no retreat. And because the green bottle has used up all the energy, the Xunzhou Army will have no energy to protect them after landing.
If Zhao Pan fights back quickly...
Nian Zanli fell into deep thought, then patted the table: "It's not a bad idea. Only by cutting off the way back can they have the courage to move forward."
If you advance or die, if you retreat you will die, and the army will push forward to find a way to survive.
Otherwise, an army with low morale may disperse when there is a chance to escape.
The use of Yuanli is really a vital art for generals leading armies.
"But a quarter of an hour is not enough."
Hong Chenglue had already thought of this problem and took out a maple leaf and handed it over: "This is the law given to me by Imperial Master Shuangye. If General Nian wants to use the green bottle, he might as well ask Imperial Master Shuangye to temporarily dispatch his energy."
Look carefully, this is not an ordinary maple leaf, but a talisman paper made of gold foil. According to Hong Chenglue, as long as you write on it, stamp it with a bloody handprint, and light it on fire, the words on the talisman can be sent to Shuangye Guoshi in real time.

Disposable messaging tool.
Happy New Year.
Even he could hardly imagine how strong the Yuan Power of the Bejia Kingdom was. Now he was leading Bejia's army. If the Shuangye Kingdom Master could allocate some Yuan Power to him, would the army still have to worry about the time limit for crossing the river?
"But I would like to remind General Nian that no one has used the green bottle for a long time. It is not a good-tempered treasure, and it may occasionally be disobedient. Using it will also cause great damage to your personal energy and spirit.
"
"Ancient treasures are inevitable." Victory always comes at a price. "It won't suck my blood essence or life span, right?"
Some evil treasures are just so difficult to take care of, and Nian Zanli doesn't want to jump into this trap.
"That won't happen." Hong Chenglue stood up, "Master Nian can think about it slowly whether to use it or not. If you are ready to take action, you might as well choose a day with a favorable wind."
Nian Zanli was full of joy, clapped his hands and asked someone to take him to a clean tent to rest.

For the next three days, the rain became heavier and heavier every day.
Even in northern Xiazhou, the magnitude and duration of this heavy rain are rare, and can be considered a once-in-a-century event.
He Lingchuan woke up and found that it was still dark, and he had only slept for an hour.
Perhaps it was because Iwaro was grinding his teeth with an ox bone stick nearby? The rattling sound couldn't even be suppressed by the sound of rain.
However, even though his sleep time was short this time, He Lingchuan also defeated two challengers in the Coiling Dragon Dreamland and successfully defended the ring.
Although Yuewutang gave him forty days to recuperate, he was always full of health every time he entered the dreamland. Of course, he didn't need this kind of vacation, he could just go on stage and do it.
The thin man was right. Anyone who dared to challenge the champion had special skills. The challenger He Lingchuan met last time was famous for his agility and his body was so fast that it was difficult to catch him.
