Chapter 527: Calculating and Being Calculated(1/2)
Is there anything in Shoujiang that can control Longshan?
Of course there is, that is water.
The reason why Song Ziyu received Su Zhen's help and immediately made the rescue decision without thinking was that he was actually going to the water source of Shoujiang River.
That’s right!
To force the enemies entrenched in Longshan to submit, cutting off their water supply is definitely a clever move. .??.??
As the saying goes, the best strategy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting.
The solution Song Ziyu came up with was to cut off Longshan's water supply.
…
Longshan was once short of water.
Back then, Longshan had only a few thousand people and could still be self-sufficient relying on a few wells to provide drinking water.
But today is different from the past!
The scale of Longshan's development has been many times greater than it was back then, and the population has grown explosively. It is absolutely impossible to feed tens of thousands of people with just a few dry wells!
If you cut off the water source of Longshan, you can imagine the situation in Longshan.
They will collapse in no time!
This method is absolutely feasible.
There are currently two channels that supply water to Longshan.
One is the water pipe that feeds directly into the Zero-13 Refuge. This water pipe is hidden downstream of the river, and the valve is near the dam.
The other is a seventy-mile-long above-ground water channel built by Song Ziyu himself.
As long as these two water supply routes are cut off, Longshan will be plunged into a desperate situation of water shortage without spending a single soldier.
Then!
The enemy could either attack out and come to Shoujiang River to seize the water source, or they could only surrender.
They have no third way!
When this idea popped into his head, Song Ziyu's heart was pounding.
Is it possible to do this?
feasible!
But if you do this...
What will be the consequences if you do this yourself?
Song Ziyu knows it very well!
The consequence is that many people will die.
Many, many people!
Although I am used to seeing life and death, I still need some psychological preparation before making this decision.
The people he kills are all those who deserve to die!
But if he did this, many innocent people would be buried with him.
And these innocent people are all the flesh and blood of Longshan...
This kind of thing is detrimental to moral character.
Song Ziyu fell into a situation where heaven and man are at war.
To make this determination, one needs to abandon all moral constraints.
This is really difficult for Song Ziyu.
But in the end!
Song Ziyu made this decision.
You have no choice.
…
As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, emotion does not establish affairs, and kindness does not lead to officialdom.
The current situation does not allow for any compassion.
Those who practice the king's way must have the appearance of an emperor, but he does not have that destiny at all.
Besides!
Any decision you make now will bear the fate of thousands of people under your command!
These subordinates who followed me all the way from Miluo City-State, their lives are also their lives!
Song Ziyu no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the gates of the water supply pipeline to be closed, and then blocked the source of the canal.
After completing all these operations, Song Ziyu ordered someone to compile a letter and send it to Longshan to Yu Ke.
In Song Ziyu's opinion, this letter of persuasion to surrender will have a high probability of success.
After all, Yu Ke had no choice.
This time, the messenger followed suit and delivered the letter far away and then turned around and ran away, without giving Yu Ke a chance to kill him. Of course, he didn't bring back any reply.
Song Ziyu waited in Shoujiang for another two days, but still no news.
This made Song Ziyu vaguely feel that something was not right.
An unknown premonition emerged in my mind.
Such a silent situation made Song Ziyu uneasy.
The survival of tens of thousands of people is at stake. Longshan cannot be so peaceful. If something goes wrong, there must be something evil!
While Song Ziyu was anxiously waiting for the news, he arranged for his men to prepare for war.
…
Facts have proved that Song Ziyu's premonition was extremely correct.
After several long and anxious days of waiting, Yu Ke responded.
It’s not the surrender that Song Ziyu wanted to do, or even the second-best peace talks!
When an extremely large number of troops appeared on the boundary of the Shoujiang settlement, Song Ziyu knew that things exceeded his expectations.
Yu Ke actually brought an army of tens of thousands to besiege Shoujiang.
The army descended from the sky and surrounded Shoujiang River with water and water.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Song and others had expressions of despair on their faces.
The enemy is several times greater than our own, and the situation is not optimistic.
"Where did they come from so many people?"
Su Zhen exclaimed.
Song Ziyu's eyelids were also twitching, and the current situation was completely beyond his control.
Obviously, there is something wrong with the intelligence...
"Could it be that the main force of the Third Division has returned for reinforcements?" Song Ziyu looked at Wen Zhongming, and he needed to confirm where these people came from.
Wen Zhongming took out his military binoculars and observed them before shaking his head and saying: "They are not from the Third Division... not entirely. Their clothes and weapons are very mixed. The Third Division does not have such troops."
Song Ziyu was thoughtful after hearing this.
Immediately, Song Ziyu thought of a possibility...
Could it be that Yu Ke brought all the people from other settlements to Longshan?
Looking at the chaotic and colorful formations with flags in the distance, Song Ziyu suddenly woke up.
That must be the case!
Thinking of this, Song Ziyu was no longer calm.
The situation in front of me not only illustrates the grandeur of Yu Ke's army, but also declares the rebel army's claim to Tuodi.
Charisma and influence.
This is what makes Song Ziyu the most desperate!
them……
The integration of Tuodi has been completed!
Song Ziyu knows it very well!
You can be the enemy of the Third Division, but you can't be the enemy of the entire Tuo District!
"Boss, what should we do now?"
To be continued...
