"But I want to go back to the capital..." Xu Gongmao said hesitantly, with an unhappy look on his face.

Li Fengxian stared at Xu Gongmao. Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but feel more relaxed.

"Mr. Xu, we are facing a formidable enemy. That guy Chen Changfeng is full of tricks. Without Mr. Xu's help, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to survive."

"In this way, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reinforcements arrive, if Mr. Xu wants to go back then, I will personally escort Mr. Xu out of the city, how about that?" Li Fengxian said with a smile.

In the past, Li Fengxian did not need counselors when leading troops.

Because he can sweep away the enemy with his own force.

But this time it was different. Chen Changfeng's many tricks made Li Fengxian feel extremely troubled.

Without the help of counselors like Xu Gongmao, Li Fengxian always felt a little uneasy.

"But..." Xu Gongmao has not yet made a decision.

"Mr. Xu!" Li Fengxian suddenly shouted, startling Xu Gongmao.

Xu Gongmao looked up at Li Fengxian and said hesitantly: "Then I will leave after His Highness the Crown Prince arrives with his troops."

Li Fengxian was very happy, not only did he send back the third prince of the Ming Dynasty who hated Chen Changfeng deeply.

He also rescued Xu Gongmao.

With Xu Gongmao's help, Li Fengxian was very confident in dealing with Chen Changfeng.

Xu Gongmao was sent back to his residence, and the next day Li Fengxian received news that Chen Changfeng's Ming Dynasty border troops had begun to mobilize.

It seems that they are preparing to attack the city and have a decisive battle with Chu's southern army.

Li Fengxian was not worried at all. Although Yong'an City was not as tall and thick as Yongding City, it could not be captured casually.

Moreover, Chu's southern army had many soldiers and generals, so its strength would only be stronger than that of Ming's frontier army.

Using the weak to attack the strong, Li Fengxian couldn't think of any reason why he could fail.

…

Yongding City.

It is now the command location of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army.

All the generals of the Ming Dynasty's border army heard this today.

The third prince did not show up, and no one asked any questions. Yesterday, news was everywhere that the third prince wanted to kill Chen Changfeng.

This kind of repayment of kindness made the generals of the Ming Dynasty extremely disdainful of the third prince.

Even if the third prince appears here, no one will pay attention to him.

He even threatened to kill his own savior. If ordinary generals like them offended the third prince, they would pay it back.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the former army is ready and can launch an attack on Yong'an City at any time." the former army general said.

"Your Royal Highness, the spear battalion, shield battalion and other infantry battalions are ready to go to war at any time." Another general said next to him.

But after all, they were still a little worried.

Li Fengxian was not a fool, Da Chu's southern army was not a weak force, and Yong'an City was not a mound.

Their Ming border troops actually took the initiative to attack Yong'an City, which made many people wonder whether this move was a waste of time.

But they won't say that for the time being.

After all, Chen Changfeng has always had strange plans. If he can really capture Yong'an City, it will be an absolute great achievement.

"Thank you for your hard work. Next, I have to assign some tasks." Chen Changfeng nodded with a smile.

All the generals held their breath and waited for Chen Changfeng's order.

"There is a culvert to the north of Yong'an City. Although it is winter, it has a huge water storage capacity. It was originally used for summer irrigation."

"Furthermore, the Hanjiang River is an above-ground suspended river. There is a fifty-meter difference in water level between Yong'an City and the Hanjiang River. If we can dig out the embankments of the Hanjiang River, we can divert the water from the Hanjiang River to flow back into Yongan City."

"Li Fengxian has accumulated 100,000 troops in Yong'an City, and the remaining 70,000 troops are also stationed near Yong'an City. If water can be diverted back to the city, they will definitely be wiped out."

"So I decided that starting from tomorrow, I will take Xue Rengui as the main general and force Li Feng to go out of the city to fight every day to confuse their sight."

"The Lancer Battalion and the Shield Battalion sent out 20,000 troops to dig out the Hanjiang embankment as soon as possible." Chen Changfeng's voice continued to sound.

All the generals looked stunned.

No one expected that Chen Changfeng's troops to attack Yong'an City were actually just a cover-up.

The really powerful one is the Hanjiang River in the north of Yong'an City.

The Hanjiang River is rich in water. Although it does not rain here in winter, if the embankments of the Hanjiang River are dug, the water from the Hanjiang River will flow back into Yong'an City like the Milky Way.

The terrain of Yong'an City is low and not as good as that of Yongding City. It will definitely be besieged by floods and Li Fengxian's army will be defeated.

"His Royal Highness is really powerful. He actually has such a clever plan. Just now, my subordinates were thinking that it was a bit confusing to attack the city directly with our strength. I didn't expect..."

"The prince is a great talent, and my subordinates admire him greatly." The former army general was astonished and paid homage to Chen Changfeng directly.

Although the others did not speak, their faces were filled with admiration.

Compared with the third prince's stubbornness and endless panic when facing Xu Gongmao, Chen Changfeng was able to come up with clever tricks frequently. He was really too good.

If not all of them can be like the prince Chen Changfeng and come up with clever tricks frequently, do they still need to worry?

"Then, Your Highness, who will lead the army to dig the river embankment?" A general discovered that Chen Changfeng had not yet decided on the person to dig the river embankment.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask for help. If we cannot dig the embankment, I will come to see you." A general immediately expressed his attitude.

As long as the river embankment is dug, it will be a great achievement.

If you get the credit for nothing, wouldn’t you be a fool if you don’t want it?

"His Royal Highness, your subordinates are also willing to go."

"His Royal Highness, your subordinates once worked in the Ministry of Industry for a period of time and did some research on river embankments..."

"Your Highness, your Majesty, I have trained as a naval officer, so I am qualified to take on this important task."

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and all the generals were rushing to dig up the embankments of the Han River.

Liu Shuwen looked at the scene in front of him, and it seemed that he had returned to the scene when the emperor had not yet raised his troops, and the generals were discussing the distribution of war.

Looking into Chen Changfeng's eyes, one cannot help but sigh.

"Sixth brother, it's up to me to dig the river embankment." The third prince's voice suddenly came.

Everyone looked back and saw the third prince walking in from outside.

He put on a suit of armor, and his missing ears were covered by a helmet.

The appearance of the third prince made all the generals confused. No one wanted to see him, so why was he here?

Liu Shuwen frowned and secretly shook his head with Chen Changfeng.

"Third Prince, you'd better go back and rest, we don't need you here." Chen Qingzhi showed no mercy at all.

Directly help Chen Changfeng reject the third prince's request.

The third prince was angry in his heart, but his face was calm: "I have had enough rest. Father asked me to lead the army in the battle. It was because of my negligence that I almost caused a disaster."

"And now, I just want to contribute to the Ming Empire."

"Sixth Brother, if you are not willing to forgive me for the mistakes I made, then kill me with one sword now and save yourself from being punished by my father."

After the third prince said this, he drew out his long sword and sent both parties to Chen Changfeng.

Chen Qingzhi and Xue Rengui looked stern and stepped forward on guard.

They were worried that the third prince was pretending to admit his mistake, but actually wanted to kill Chen Changfeng in a sneak attack.

The generals didn't say anything, and the third prince's attitude of admitting his mistake was quite good.

He was even willing to let the prince kill him.

this……

Chen Changfeng looked at the third prince with a hint of sigh on his face. He helped the third prince up and sighed: "Third brother, why are you doing this? You and I should work together to fight against the enemy."

"Since the third brother is willing, then I will ask the third brother to dig the embankments of the Han River and leave it to the third brother."

"Prince!" Chen Qingzhi's expression changed immediately when he heard this.
