Of course, another reason why Emperor Wen was willing to use him was that Huo Qinglin's sister was Emperor Wen's concubine Hui, who had served in the harem for more than 20 years. In terms of relatives and alienation, he was also Emperor Wen's brother-in-law. Without the support of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Huo Qinglin had no other choice except to maintain his loyalty to the emperor and relying on his sister.

Huo Qinglin was occasionally advised by Mu Yunyou in his military use because he was dependent on the Grand Tutor's Mansion. In fact, Mu Yunyou taught him that he was far less attentive than Su Xiaochen, but Huo Qinglin was very proud and often regarded himself as the descendant of Mu Yun's military strategy, and was also mentioned in the army.

Although Emperor Wen hated the Grand Master's Mansion, he didn't mind these things.

Who would compete with the living for a dead person? The most important thing is to be able to use it for me.

At a moment, a general with black armor and black robe stepped into the tent and took a scroll of pictures in his hand.

"It's Qinglin. Is there anything important thing about seeing me in such a hurry?" When there was no one around, Emperor Wen often called him his name to show his closeness.

"I do have something important to report to Your Majesty in person."

Emperor Wen reached out to the side to express his hand to give him a seat, but Huo Qinglin walked directly to the sand table set in the middle and had no intention of sitting.

"It has been a while since the two sides of the Taiwan Strait confrontation. Now the north wind has frozen the two sides of the Hanjiang River, and it is impossible to advance or retreat. However, the soldiers are very fast. I want to ask Your Majesty what to do next."

Emperor Wen said depressedly: "Qinglin, you know some things. People in the world say that although I have a large army in Cangwu, there are no warships. But as early as more than ten years ago, I followed the advice of the left and right Grand Masters and lurked some craftsmen and spies on the wharf on the west bank of the Hanjiang River for many years. Whenever there are tiger-head ships or turtle ships docked in the blue sea, I secretly copied the pictures. Over the years, I have created more than fifty warships according to the pictures, which is enough to send my 100,000 troops to the east bank of the Hanjiang River in one breath. I have been hiding this matter from the Blue Sea Kingdom. I thought that if I was unexpected, I would have the advantage, but I would not know that this man's plan is as good as God's plan. I sealed these warships on the shore and couldn't move at all. You ask what I plan to do next, but now I can only wait for the day when the ice is gone before making a decision."

"Your Majesty, I am here today. I heard that the three tribes stationed in Taiye City of Imuran have planned to set off towards Hanjiang, and there are signs of advancing westward. I heard that the cavalry of the blood clan is very brave and fast, and from Taiye Kingdom to Binzhou, they are all flat. If they march quickly, they are afraid that the vanguard troops will arrive within five days. If our army loses the initiative, the war will be stalemate. It is a pity and quite unfavorable."

"Qinglin, since you have seen this, what good ideas do you have?"

"I brought a map here."

"Map?" Wendi was puzzled, "Is the sand table in my tent not detailed enough?"

"Your Majesty's sand table does mark the important points on the battlefield in very detailed detail, but this map of me is slightly different."

"Oh? How different?" Winter was a little surprised.

"This map of me was found from the prefect of Jingzhou Prefecture, and is an attached picture of Jingzhou landscape academies."

"The attached picture of the landscape aspirations?" Wendi was a little surprised.

The local landscape and landscape accents are just to record the customs and texts of various places. Occasionally, there are only pictures of famous rivers and ridges, which can only be used for reference when people visit the mountains and rivers.

"That's right, please see your Majesty." Huo Qinglin slowly unfolded the map and spread it flat on the table. The next side of the picture really contained nine words "Attached to the Landscape and Scenery of Jingzhou Prefecture".

"Your Majesty, although Jingzhou is vast, its landform is different from most prefectures and counties in Cangwu Country. It can be said to be poor mountains and bad waters, and its terrain is strange. However, it has created many unique landforms, such as this place."

Emperor Wen looked along the place Huo Qinglin pointed.

"This mountain is called Bairenyan. The mountain is not steep, but it looks like a slope, only more than thirty miles away from the southwest bank of Hanjiang. The radius of Bairenyan is lush and lush with dense forests, but only the mountainside of Bairenyan is bare and almost no grass grows."

Wind still didn't understand what he wanted to say, but he didn't want to interrupt him, and listened quietly to him continue.

"Because there are hundreds of springs of all sizes below the mountainside, all of which are hot spring water, making the surface boiling and no grass grow. These spring water flows down the hillside and gathers into a pool at the foot of the mountain. The locals call Abid Blood Pond."

Wendi knew that Abi means "Hell in the Avici", and frowned: "How did he give such a fierce name?"

"The water of the hot spring water is rusty and red, as thick as blood plasma, and looks like a pool of blood from a distance, so it has gained such a bad reputation."

"I didn't expect that at this critical moment, you still have the leisure to explore strange mountains and rivers. Could it be that you have already made a wonderful plan?"

Huo Qinglin lowered his eyes and bowed, "Your Majesty, I do have a plan. Now the river bank is frozen and the ice layer is thick, especially the dock facing north, so thick that it cannot even be chiseled. But the further south, the thinner the ice layer is. If the warship can reach the southeast corner of the river bank, it can detour from the sea estuary and sail across the Hanjiang River!"

"I don't know what you said, but now the warships are frozen on the shore and cannot get out. Even if I know that the ice layer in the southeast corner is thin, I can't get through. This is my headache." Emperor Wind shook his head.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

"Qinglin, do you mean..."

"Yes, Your Majesty really thought of it. I plan to dig a channel beside the Abid Blood Pool to bring the continuous hot spring water into the river. I personally rode my horse to the edge of the pond yesterday. Not only was the water temperature hot, but the pool was also not small, and the amount of water was enough to melt the ice near the warships by the river!"

"It's really a plan!" Vinti slapped the table and couldn't help but praise, "In this way, our army can move freely, and the Imurans are still frozen there."

"What I think is that after crossing Hanjiang, I will not take Binzhou on the east bank." Computer terminal::/

"oh?"

"Since the Imuran people know that our army is arranged on the west coast, there will be some countermeasures. I want to take the southwest waterway of Bihai Kingdom from the south of Binzhou and then enter the Taiye Kingdom capital. Unconsciously, I took Nanhua Island first and then Luoxia Bay! The Imuran people's army gathered in Binzhou, and only our army occupied Taiye Kingdom capital. On the one hand, the supply of the Imuran people can be cut off and disrupt their position. On the other hand, it can become the name of His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness to save Bihai, and win the hearts and wishes of Bihai Kingdom."

This time, Windie did not praise him, but lowered his head and pondered without saying a word.

Huo Qinglin was a little surprised. This was obviously a good plan. How could Emperor Wen nodded in agreement before, but now he is not speaking? Could it be that there is any flaw?

After a while, Emperor Wen finally asked, "Qinglin, this plan is wonderful, it's just a little bit. If a large army crosses the river and secretly takes Nanhua Island, how many troops will be brought along the way? If all 100,000 troops are dispatched, what if the attack does not take too long, how should the supply in the rear be dealt with? It should be noted that there is Liu Mingyan in the Governor's Mansion next to the southwest waterway. Her Kuntou ship is still unknown and her strength cannot be underestimated."

"Liu Mingyan's Kuntou ship is indeed powerful, but I will not be fond of fighting. As the saying goes, can't you hide if you can't afford to fight? If you meet Liu Mingyan at sea, my warship will be much smaller than the Kuntou ship, and you will only hide outside the range of artillery and wander in all directions at the same time, and she will only have one ship and cannot chase her."

"But the border of Cangwu Kingdom on the Han River will become an empty defense. When the ice on the river surface disappears, the Imulan people see that the Taiye Kingdom has been taken away. If they burn their boats across the river and come straight to take my Wanhua imperial capital, wouldn't it be like entering a no-man's land? So it would be inappropriate for you to harbor all 100,000 troops on the way to attack the capital!"

Huo Qinglin was speechless for a moment.

He has always used attack as defense in marching and fighting. As long as the enemy is caught off guard, he naturally doesn't have to consider defending too much. However, what Emperor Wen said is true. After all, after crossing the river, he faces the forces of both the Bihai Kingdom and the Imuran Kingdom, which is incomparable to the situation of crushing the small neighboring countries around Cangwu Kingdom in the past.

"Your Majesty said very well. I feel that if Your Majesty rests at ease, I am willing to lead 70,000 troops to the southern border of Bihai, and the remaining 30,000 remain in Jingzhou to defend."

Windie shook his head.

"I can only have 50,000 to you at most, and the remaining 50,000 troops will be of other use!"

"Your Majesty! These 50,000 people are really..." Huo Qinglin wanted to bargain again, but Emperor Wen stopped him.

"Fifty thousand is the most I can allow you, and there is no need to say much. It is your strange strategy to molten hot spring water. You can do it immediately, and I will remember you for it. As for the surprise attack on the capital, as long as the matter within the territory is certain, I will send troops to reinforce you immediately. Before that, it depends on your beloved method. I know that you have the ability to attack, and you will not let down my expectations in this surprise attack!"

Huo Qinglin had no choice but to bow his commander's order.

He thought to himself, what did Venus mean in the country? Is there any other variables? Mobile::

He didn't know that the troops left for defense by the Han River were actually no different from what he estimated, and 30,000 people were enough. However, the other 20,000 people left by Emperor Wen wanted to use them to quell the rebellion of the imperial capital. What he didn't know was that Emperor Wen's intention to attack the rebels now was no less than that of the Blue Sea.

The 100,000 troops seemed to be quite large, but they had to be divided into three battles. The disadvantages of this were Emperor Wen very clear, not just a momentary anger. Since he had been attacked by the rebels of the imperial capital and the Imuran people, the best way was to quickly break the relatively weak side, re-secured the supply line, and then turn around to deal with the enemy. Therefore, the imperial capital must be guarded against the border. Surprise attacks are at the forefront, and division of troops into three groups is the most appropriate helpless move.

Huo Qinglin left the tent, and Emperor Wen held the picture of the landscape on the sand table and looked at it carefully for a while.

Huo Qinglin really got some of the true teachings of Mu Yun's military strategy. He could adapt to local conditions and come up with a way to mop the ice layer. If it weren't for the great task of entrusting the surprise attack, he would really want him to return to the imperial capital to pacify the rebels.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wen called out: "Transfer my will. Get up tonight and closely investigate all the movements on the south bank of the river. Any suspicious ships will be seized!"
