Tang Yu nodded and said, "Right, water attack, what do you think"

"This isn't right, is it" Meng Tian frowned.

Tang Yu asked, "Why is it inappropriate Tell me the reasons why you think it's inappropriate!"

"Your Highness, firstly, once a water attack begins, it will definitely spread towards Jingzhou City. Inside Jingzhou City are countless citizens. Back then, Jingzhou City was the first line of defense for our great Tang Dynasty. There are people from our great Tang Dynasty inside. Could Your Highness just watch as the people of the Tang Dynasty suffer and do nothing"

Secondly, digging the canal is a huge undertaking, requiring a lot of manpower. To bring in water from the Jinjiang River, it would take at least tens of thousands of people to get the job done!

"Lastly, once the water attack is launched, the Chu army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. There will certainly be countless civilians in Jingzhou City who will die unjustly. At that time, heaven and man will be furious, Your Highness, can you bear the blame of the people of the world" Meng Tian listed three reasons for Tang Yu in one breath.

Hearing Meng Tian's words, Tang Yu smiled: "It's a small matter, General Meng worries about small matters!"

"A small problem" Meng Tian looked puzzled.

Tang Yu said seriously, "General Meng, think about it. The city of Jingzhou has been lost to the Tang Dynasty for three years now. I estimate that most of the people in Jingzhou have already fled. Even if they didn't all leave, the remaining Tang citizens are now Big Chu citizens!"

Besides, there are many canals in the Tang Dynasty, and they mainly grow rice. That means the people of the Tang Dynasty are all good at water, so if we really want to launch a water attack, the honest people of the Tang Dynasty won't be drowned alive. After that, we can help them rebuild their homes!

"Your Highness makes a good point!" Meng Tian nodded.

"As for digging the ditches, we don't have to do it ourselves!"

"What do you mean, my lord" Meng Tian seemed to have thought of something.

Tang Yu smiled: “You guessed right. Li Jing didn't secretly bring 100,000 soldiers with him. Just have these 100,000 soldiers dig trenches. Currently, it's raining constantly, and the Chu army won't dare to move their troops around easily. After all, the Chu army generally isn't good at water, and with the weather gradually becoming colder, if they mass out in force, the Chu army might get sick, only to suffer losses!”

"Not bad!" Meng Tian nodded again.

After a moment of silence, Tang Yu said with a playful smile: "As for being scolded by the world, I don't need to worry about that. I am not afraid of being scolded. As long as we can defeat the Chu army, whatever they say is fine. After all, we represent the Tang Dynasty. As long as we can win, any means can be used!"

"General Meng, if you have no objections, we should immediately contact General Li Jing. If we delay too long, once the weather clears, with 100,000 troops digging trenches simultaneously, it will be impossible to conceal our movements!"

Since Your Highness intends to launch a water attack, I will contact Li Jing!" Meng Tian no longer opposed.

Li Jing was ambushing nearby, waiting for Tang Yu's call. To Li Jing's surprise, Tang Yu did not summon him to attack the Chu army but to dig a trench.

Li Jing approached Tang Yu, frowning and saying: "Your Highness, while using water attacks is indeed effective, the impact is too great. Your Highness should think carefully before acting!"

"A person who aims for great things doesn't dwell on trivial matters. General Li, just do as I said!" Tang Yu stated solemnly.

Li Jing unconsciously glanced at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian's eyes lit up, and he said to Tang Yu: "Your Highness, before leaving, the Prime Minister gave you a pouch, didn't he At that time, the Prime Minister said that if things got desperate, just open this pouch, and there was a brilliant plan inside!"

"You're right! How could I have forgotten about this" Upon being reminded by Meng Tian, Tang Yu slapped his forehead and took out the pouch.

Under the gaze of the two, Tang Yu opened the pouch. Inside lay a piece of bamboo with a large "water" character boldly written on it.

Seeing the word "water," Li Jing was astonished: "What Even the Prime Minister would use water to attack!"

"Haha!"

Looking at the word "water," Tang Yu burst into laughter and said, "Meng Shize, that old fox, went with what I thought! General Li, now you have no worries behind you, right"ne.
