Bai Zhiyi said to Xie Maoliang, "General Xie, I have a plan that can help us turn defeat into victory."

Xie Maoliang asked, "What plan?"

“Breach the Guijiang River dike and let the floodwaters rush downstream,” Bai Zhiyi said calmly. “It can wipe out the entire Great Jin army in an instant.”

Xie Maoliang was completely dumbfounded.

Not only him, but even Jiang Wenpei was so shocked that he almost sat down on the ground, saying, "Miss Qiu, what... what did you say?"

“I have inspected the terrain. The Guijiang Estuary is on high ground, while the capital of the Southern Chu Kingdom is on low ground. As long as the dike is breached, the flood will submerge the capital of the Southern Chu Kingdom. The Jin army will be completely annihilated.”

Jiang Wenpei's face flushed red and then turned pale, and his lips trembled for a long time before he said, "Qiu Jie, you only think about destroying the Great Jin army. Don't you know that once the dike breaks, tens of thousands of people in Southern Chu will die? And what about all the people in the capital?"

Bai Zhiyi said, "Mr. Jiang, this is the only way to win. Otherwise, your Southern Chu Kingdom will be destroyed. Isn't your family of divine healers supposed to protect the existence of the Southern Chu Kingdom? Aren't you supposed to preserve the bloodline of the Southern Chu royal family?"

"No, this strategy is too terrible, I will never agree to it!" Jiang Wenpei roared. "Even if it can wipe out the entire Jin army, what about the people of Nan Chu?"

Qiu Jie turned around, raised her defensive gun, and aimed it at his chest.

Jiang Wenpei's face turned pale, and he froze on the spot.

"General Xie, have your men start digging the dam," Bai Zhiyi pointed to the dam next to her, "make sure it's open by noon tomorrow."

Xie Maoliang broke out in a cold sweat, repeatedly stammering as he ordered his soldiers to find pickaxes and shovels.

He had always thought that planting explosives in the Shence vehicle was something to brag about, but now he realized that compared to Bai Zhiyi, his actions were utterly insignificant.

Bai Zhiyi put away her gun and said to Jiang Wenpei, "Mr. Jiang, I won't kill you. You... go and tell the people in the fishing villages downstream to take cover quickly, but don't tell the Jin army. Have a few people hold him down, don't let him do anything stupid."

Jiang Wenpei slowly backed away until he saw Bai Zhiyi turn around, then he turned and rushed into the darkness.
