Yun Qing looked at the marks made by several other generals on the map.
Tongyu County is located to the west of the Great Marsh, and a small part to the east belongs to the Great Marsh.
Tongyu County is also rich in products.
If the opponent captures Tongyu County, they can get quite generous supplies.
Although the opponent's attack focuses on the Great Swamp, there are very few places where people can walk in the Great Swamp area, and Tianhua troops are stationed in most of these areas, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Therefore, capturing Tongyu County and obtaining sufficient supplies will also help them attack the Wandu Swamp southward.
"Although I can understand their intentions," Yun Qing still finds it difficult to understand: "There are very few areas in this Ten Thousand Poison Swamp that people can enter, and our troops are already there.
They want to enter from here.
The hinterland of the empire is obviously not cost-effective, so why did they choose this place?"
"Even so, it's just like what you said in your last letter, Lord Protector.
If they have a way to cross the Great Swamp, they can easily avoid our garrison and appear directly in the south of the Great Swamp.
Then we He will be caught off guard.
"Looking at the overall battle situation, the benefits gained from this are so great that it is worth it even if there are a lot of casualties."
"Yes, if it were me, I would do this even if it cost one hundred thousand troops to die in the swamp."
Fu Zhen sighed: "Your Majesty, this is why we have different ideas from you.
You are an imperial noble.
As a lord, you are naturally responsible for the lives of your people.
But we are different.
We generals have to focus on the overall situation and sometimes even have to give up some land in order to win the entire war.
Even the lives of some people.”
Although Yun Qing did not agree with Fu Zhen's words, he had to admit that from this aspect, Prairie Wolf Court's unreasonable actions were indisputable.
If he could really attack through the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, it would definitely cause an unimaginable heavy blow to Tianhua.
Troops including the Zhenbei Army and the Holy Dragon Army will be in a dilemma.
If they return, the other tribes of the Prairie Wolf Court will be allowed to go south.
If they do not return, the elites of the Prairie Wolf Court will burn, kill and plunder in the hinterland of Tianhua.
"But fortunately, you have put forward effective countermeasures to deal with this possible problem.
The strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness has begun to be implemented in the hundreds of miles south of Black Imperial City.
In this way, even if the elites of the Prairie Wolf Court really go south, If they leave the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, they will be in a situation where supplies will be cut off.
Then they will die.
"So what we should consider now is how to deal with the enemies below the city."
Yun Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and listened quietly to the others.
He is not optimistic about the strategy of defending these northern cities.
Although he has already asked Lin Yanhui and Li Qiaozhi to arrange the entire northern part of the empire to clear the country, it is difficult to say this.
Speaking out will affect the morale of these soldiers.
After all, the outcome is still unclear.
It is really unreasonable that Yun Qing is doing this behind his back.
"As for the defensive arrangement, I wonder what Lord Protector has to say?"
Fu Zhen asked.
"This is not a wise idea.
Now we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered.
The only advantage is that the opponent mainly uses cavalry and is not good at attacking the city, so we can still occupy the city and defend it."
Yun Qing shrugged: "So I would like to ask Your Majesty Give me an imperial edict to move the people in the north to the south temporarily, so as not to directly cross the city and plunder the people when the prairie wolf court's troops cannot attack the city. " "If they can't grab the supplies, then they will be the ones who are worried."
Yun Qing rolled his eyes and took this opportunity to ask Ling Yue'er for the imperial edict to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
With this imperial edict, it would be much easier for Yun Qing to do what he wanted to do.
Even if there were any nobles who objected, he could justifiably drive them to the south to avoid being convinced.

Even though Yun Qing was not afraid, he still had to consider Ling Yue'er's situation.
If he didn't even tell Ling Yue'er that he had made the decision on such a big matter, then Ling Yue'er wouldn't be able to speak to him.
After all, for such a big move, there are countless people who have to migrate.
A flash of light flashed in Ling Yue'er's eyes.
She stared at Yun Qing closely, and then said after a long while: "I'm sure.
Bring me the pen."
Then she wrote the imperial edict and handed it to Yun Qing: "Then I'll leave this matter to you.
If the troops of the Prairie Wolf Court steal a grain of food, I will ask you for it."
Yun Qing took the imperial edict and immediately retreated.
That night, Yun Qing asked his subordinates to take the imperial edict to Lin Yanhui and Li Qiaozhi, while he sat in the room with his eyes closed to rest.
In fact, he is using Xiao Zi's eyes to detect the movements of the Prairie Wolf Court.
I saw that all the villages and towns along the border between the two countries were now occupied by the troops of the Prairie Wolf Court.
The remaining houses in those villages and towns were not enough to house the soldiers of the Steppe Wolf Court.
Around these villages and towns, tents were set up one after another, stretching for thousands of miles.
"Well, it seems that the grassland wolves are out in force.
Why are they so crazy?"
Yun Qing couldn't figure it out.
They didn't do this when Tianhua was at his weakest, and they didn't do this when Prairie Wolf Court was at its strongest.
At this time, they all came out in full force, and all the tribes went south.
This really puzzled Yun Qing. dong dong dong A knock on the door interrupted Yun Qing's thoughts.
"Come in."
Seeing the person coming, Yun Qing stood up quickly: "Your Majesty."
"Sit down."
The person who came was none other than Ling Yue'er.
She had only one maid with her and didn't bring anyone else.
"Yunqing, are you already preparing for the clearing of the entire north?"
Ling Yue'er looked at him with bright eyes.
Yun Qing was stunned, he couldn't figure out Ling Yue'er's attitude.
But he had no choice but to answer bravely: "It's not preparation, it was already started when I came.
I have already asked my infantry to carry out the plan of strengthening the wall and clearing the field under the command of Lin Yanhui and Li Qiaozhi."
Ling Yue'er sighed, with a bitter expression on her face: "Sometimes I really envy you."
"Sitting in this seat, I have to do some things even though I know they are impossible, and some things I can't do even though I have thought of countermeasures."
"But luckily for you, I won't be too passive.
I will fully support you in the matter of strengthening the wall and clearing the country.
This defense line in the north will definitely not be able to withstand it.
It will depend on how well your plan is implemented."
"If we implement it thoroughly, we can still resist the steps of the Steppe Wolf Court going south, and we can persist until the counterattack.
If we do not implement it thoroughly and the Steppe Wolf Court finds enough supplies, then what awaits us will be the most terrifying destruction. ” "It seems that Your Majesty has already understood the situation of the battle."
When Yun Qing heard this, he didn't know that Ling Yue'er had already understood the situation of this battle, and even Jianbi Qingye had already thought about it.
It's a pity that with her status, she cannot say anything that would affect morale such as abandoning the northern defense line, nor can she say that she will strengthen the wall and clear the country when the situation is not yet clear.
But when the situation becomes clear, the effect of strengthening the wall and clearing the country will not be much, and by then there will not be much time to allow the people to migrate.
But these headaches for her were all solved because of Yun Qing's arrival.
"So what if I see it through, it's not like I can't do anything."
Ling Yue'er sighed: "I just have to wrong you, Yun Qing."
Of course Yun Qing knew what she meant: "It's nothing.

Anyway, those nobles and ministers have scolded me countless times.
They have accused me of a lot of crimes, and it doesn't matter if I let them accuse me of a few more." "" Ling Yue'er was speechless for a while, although she knew it was all the truth.
"Hehe, they will probably accuse me of going too far with Jianbi Qingye."
Yun Qing curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, when they come to you to treat my drunkenness, you have to be noble and save my life."
Ling Yue'er glared at him angrily: "Humph.
Then I will punish you to clean the palace ten thousand times by yourself." "" Yun Qing was dumbfounded.
It would take him a long time to scan the palace alone, ten thousand times.
He might as well live in the palace.
Two days after Yun Qing arrived, the Prairie Wolf Court troops stationed on the border finally took action.
After receiving Xiao Zi's warning, Yun Qing rushed out immediately and dragged out several generals overnight.
Except for An Longming, who was in charge of security that night, all the other generals were pulled out of bed by Yun Qing.
"I told you, Sir Duke, they have really attacked."
Fu Zhen put on his armor and followed Yun Qing: "How do you know that our scouts haven't reported back yet?"
"It will be too late for Tan Ma to report back.
We must prepare all defensive means before they arrive in a day or two."
Yun Qing rolled his eyes and said to himself, waiting for our Tan Ma to notice the opponent's attack.
If the movement comes back again, how much time will there be?
I'm afraid that not long after Tan Ma came back, the vanguard had already reached the city.
As the orders of several generals were conveyed, all the cities along the northern defense line became busy.
All kinds of equipment for defending the city were quickly prepared.
Oil pan, rolling stone, arrows, giant crossbow Late at night the next day, the scouts sent out earlier reported back, and the entire Prairie Wolf Court army was dispatched.
And when it was almost dawn on the third day, rumbling vibrations were heard in the distance.
"Well, thanks to the reminder from you, Lord Protector, otherwise, if we had just waited for the return of the detective horse, we might not have had time to prepare so much."
Luo Hui said with some admiration: "I just don't know how the Duke found out."
Although the things to defend the city have been prepared for a long time, after all, those giant logs and oil boiling pots cannot be piled on the city wall every day.
It would be too much of a hindrance.
Therefore, we usually prepare when there is an enemy situation.
That's why Luo Hui felt that Yun Qing's reminder was so necessary.
Otherwise, if he waited until Tan Ma came to report back, he would transport all these things to the city wall.
He was afraid that the Prairie Wolf Court had already begun to attack the city, and the supply might be cut off midway
