The Battle Begins (2) [Please Vote]

Shen Tang's proposal was met with unanimous opposition.

Even Xie Qi, who wasn't particularly knowledgeable in this area, opposed it.

He knew Shen Tang liked using surprise tactics. Cunshan City had been tricked away from its defenders by one of her outrageous schemes. Although the art of war did say, "Those skilled at using the unexpected are as boundless as heaven and earth, as inexhaustible as rivers and seas," it also suggested that she liked taking unconventional routes and had a bold, daring temperament.

Surprise tactics brought high rewards, but also high risks. This plan was like walking a tightrope high in the sky; one misstep, and they'd be smashed to pieces!

Chu Yao gently advised her. He first acknowledged that Shen Tang's idea was indeed wildly imaginative and extremely bold, then pointed out the problem: "We aren't familiar with the Miao River's flood patterns. If the water rises rapidly while we're marching, I'm afraid we'll be in danger."

The key issue was that none of them were strong swimmers, either.

They could paddle around in the water like dogs, and that was about it.

If they went with Shen Tang's plan, they wouldn't be fighting the enemy so much as sitting at a gambling table and betting on their luck against the heavens.

With Kang Jishou as a debuff, they'd better not.

Better to play it safe. No need to go wild!

Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen, and the others nodded in agreement with Chu Yao.

At that moment, Luan Xin noticed that Gu Chi hadn't said a word. His brows knit slightly. Was Gu Chi keeping quiet because he didn't want to publicly oppose her and displease their lord, or had he heard their lord's thoughts and decided to stay silent? Either way, it seemed a little too convenient.
