On the fourth day, Gongsun Zhan and the black-robed men continued to attack the city, and at the same time the catapult was thrown into the battlefield, because of the huge damage caused by the catapult, Yuan Shao asked Lü Bu to lead the cavalry out of the city to destroy, and succeeded in destroying the catapult because of Lü Bu's prestige, and at the same time, Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led 3,000 soldiers to arrive.

On the fifth day, Gongsun Zhan and the black-robed man threw in another fifty catapults, and Yuan Shao once again ordered Lü Bu to fight, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei blocked him, and Lü Bu finally returned in vain. In desperation, Yuan Shao selected a marksman from the army and fired a salvo of rockets to destroy the catapult, and finally succeeded. Among these people, there are Lu Bu, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Zhang He, and Gao Ran, whose archery skills are superb and amazing. Since then, the soldiers in Yuan Shao's army knew that in addition to Wen Chou and Yan Liang, there were also Zhang He and Gao Lan. In this regard, although Wen Chou and Yan Liang were dissatisfied, they did not say anything, and Zhang He and Gao Ran's martial arts were indeed good.

On the sixth day, Gongsun Chan and the black-robed men stopped attacking the city, and only set up camp ten miles away from Yecheng.

On the seventh day, there was still no movement in Gongsun Zhan's military camp.

After five days of siege warfare, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan and the black-robed people suffered more than 60,000 injuries, plus some serious injuries that could not be cured, the number of people will slowly increase, I am afraid it will exceed 70,000. This shows how cruel war is. A disease or natural disaster may kill so many people, but war can kill so many people in just five days.

Among the mountain peaks twenty miles away, Yuan Chang is still staying here, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fight life and death has little to do with him, he just plays soy sauce and looks at the excitement.

"Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have found that Gongsun Chan has behaved abnormally. ”

Yuan Changzheng was in his tent and discussed with Yu Ban why Gongsun Zhan stopped the siege, while Dian Wei was squatting in the corner, and it was a waste of time to discuss this kind of thing with him. Therefore, Dian Wei also consciously squatted in the corner. Yuan Chang knew that in addition to the advantage of having a traverser who could know what would happen in the future, in terms of intelligence, there was a big gap between him and those top strategists, although he did not deny that he also had some intelligence. Therefore, many times, Yuan Chang will also think about what the other party's intentions are, so as to let his talent slowly expand.

"What's unusual?"

If Gongsun Chan gave up attacking Yecheng, then he would naturally retreat, but Gongsun Chan did not retreat and was still stationed outside Yecheng, obviously he had other ideas. Moreover, there is a black-robed man beside Gongsun Zhan, that guy is a top strategist who can be compared with Guo Jia, he is very intelligent, and he must have some tricks. There are many strategists under Yuan Shao's command, but none of them can be called the top, I have to say that this is Yuan Shao's sorrow. Therefore, Yuan Chang sent soldiers to pay attention to the movements in Gongsun Zhan's army, and if there was anything abnormal, they would report it, and today, Gongsun Chan finally dispatched.

Gongsun Chan and the black-robed man led thousands of men and horses to the north, and their subordinates did not dare to follow too closely, for fear of being discovered by them. Therefore, I came back and reported to the adults. ”

"Okay, you go down first, continue to investigate, and report back if there is any news. ”

"Whoa!"

Yuan Chang let the spies leave, and then frowned and pondered, Gongsun Zan and the black-robed people went north with thousands of people, what did they want to do?

"Wen Ze, what do you think?"

"My lord, it's okay to command the troops, but there is nothing you can do to give advice. ”

Yu Ban said it very directly, but it is true, Yu Ban's ability to command troops is undoubted, if it is a little trick on the battlefield, it is okay. However, such esoteric intrigues and tricks, Yu Ban expressed his powerlessness.

"Take a map and take a look!"

Yuan Chang took out the map, looked at the map and thought deeply. Gongsun Chan and the black-robed people stopped attacking the city in the past two days and refused to retreat, there must be a conspiracy, they will not be full and have nothing to do and run for a walk. Since it has been dispatched, there must be a conspiracy. Only, what is this conspiracy?

At this time, Yuan Chang sighed again that there were a little fewer strategists under his command, and Guo Jia was the only one who could control the scene. However, even if Guo Jia is a top strategist, it is obviously not enough. Different strategists can put forward different opinions, and with the collective wisdom and efforts, it is obvious that things can be done to the point of perfection. Therefore, Guo Jia decided to wait for the return to Bohai County, to find a way to increase the strength of the strategists, whether it was robbing or tying, he must get it.

Because he was thinking about the strategist, although Yuan Chang's eyes were still staring at the map, he was actually thinking about other things in his mind. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed the place he was staring at just now, and seemed to be a little stunned.

The place where Yuan Chang's eyes focused just now was a mountain range called Taihang Mountain. As for whether this era is called that, Yuan Chang is not clear. The reason why Yuan Chang recognized Taihang Mountain was naturally because he had seen a movie in his previous life, a film about the Anti-Japanese War of Taihang Mountain, and then, he also knew that the west of Taihang Mountain was called Shanxi, and the east of Taihang Mountain was called Shandong. Although Yanzhou is named, many people also call the place east of Taihang Mountain Shandong, which is naturally different from Shandong Province in later generations.

Of course, the reason why Yuan Chang noticed Taihang Mountain was because where there are mountain ranges, there must be rivers originating. Undoubtedly, there are several rivers that originate in Taihang, one of which is near Yecheng.

Suddenly, I remembered that during the battle of Yecheng, Xu Yu proposed to Cao Cao the "plan to break the Zhanghe River".

Thinking of this, Yuan Chang immediately got up and ran out of the tent, looking at the sky, it was dark and dreary, giving people a damp and oppressive feeling. You can't be wrong with this feeling, it's a sign of an impending storm. As a strategist, you must be proficient in the six arts, astrological medicine, astronomy and geography, and you don't have to be proficient in all aspects. And the black-robed man obviously understood astronomy and geography, so he saw that there was an imminent storm and decided to divert the water of the Zhang River to flood Yecheng.

Yuan Chang slowly walked into the camp, still a little tremor in his head.

Dian Wei and Yu Ban looked at Yuan Chang a little strangely, and they didn't understand why Yuan Chang ran out for no reason just now, and then walked in like a broken love, of course, first of all, Dian Wei and Yu Ban knew what a broken love was. Dian Wei didn't think about anything, his own lord often chattered, and it wasn't the first time he had seen him. At this moment, Dian Wei did not squat in the corner, but lay down, his legs were crossed, and he was shaking, it seemed that he was the biggest person in this camp.

"Your Excellency, you?"

Yu Ban asked Yuan Chang incomprehensibly, could it be that Yuan Chang had a sheep epilepsy just now, so that's why he was like this? Don't you want to stay away from Yuan Chang? If Yuan Chang knew what Yu Ban was thinking in his mind at this moment, it was estimated that he would vomit blood and die.

"Wen Ze, don't talk to me yet, I want something. ”

Yuan Chang motioned for Yu Ban to stop talking, sat on the ground, and continued to buffer the thoughts just now in his mind.

Obviously, Gongsun Chan and the black-robed people are going to flood Yecheng by the Zhanghe River this time. It is undoubtedly cruel to use this kind of scheme. The use of disasters to win wars has existed since ancient times. However, it is undoubtedly the people who suffer.

Just like Guan Yu's flooded Seventh Army, it is indeed majestic and famous all over the world. However, perhaps because of Guan Yu's prestige, the accident behind the flooding of the Seventh Army was covered up. Guan Yu flooded Fancheng at that time, and first of all, he had to understand that there were not only tens of thousands of troops in Fancheng, but also hundreds of thousands of people in Fancheng. Some people may unfortunately be drowned, and even those who are not drowned have their houses, furniture, livelihoods, and so on, and how will they live in the future? Maybe because of the fame of this battle, or maybe the lives of the people are relatively cheap, so no one will pay attention to those who have been hurt.

Even if it was Guan Yu, he wouldn't pay attention. Guan Yu is loyal, it does not mean that he is benevolent, if he sees the tragic situation of the people of Fancheng, maybe Guan Yu will feel guilty, but he will not regret it. Guan Yu is for Liu Bei's great cause and for his loyalty, if there is a chance, he will still do it.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and it is not necessarily the soldiers who have withered the bones, but perhaps the lives of countless ordinary people. This is the cruelty of war, no one can deny it!

And the use of such man-made disasters to wage wars is, to put it bluntly, very inhumane.

As a traverser, Yuan Chang grew up in an era of peace and no war, and even if there was a war, it had nothing to do with the country he was in. Even though many countries are clamoring for this country, few really dare to confront this country. Even the US empire only secretly stumbled and acted directly, and they did not dare. Therefore, Yuan Chang has a serious attitude towards human life.

Therefore, when this kind of thing happens in front of him, as a four-having traverser, Yuan Chang will never let this kind of thing happen in front of his eyes.

The reason why he didn't react for a while just now was because he had a feeling in his heart. When he first crossed over, Yuan Chang may have felt that he had the advantage of being a traverser, and the battle for domination of the world was actually just like that. However, when the war really happened, Yuan Chang's heart would still be shocked. Just like the battle that took place in Nanpi City, although he seemed to be calm and calm, in fact, there would still be an impact in his heart. As a teenager who grew up in a peaceful era, it is impossible to say that there are no ideas. However, Yuan Chang was still able to accept this kind of battle in Nanpicheng. However, once the power of heaven and earth was used to fight, it was difficult for Yuan Chang to accept.

Before the crossing, every time there was an earthquake or flood in any place, the PLA soldiers were charging to the front line to support, and the positive energy of human nature was greatly spread, even if there were some scum who profited from the disaster, but they could not hide the light of positive energy.

Therefore, no matter what, Yuan Chang would not let Gongsun Zan flood Yecheng.

"Wen Ze, I already know what Gongsun Chan and they plan to do. You look at the map here, there is a river named Zhanghe here, Gongsun Zhan and they plan to flood Yecheng. ”

"Oh!"

After listening to Yuan Chang's words, Yu Ban didn't react much, just responded with a word very blandly. For Yu Ban, this doesn't seem to be a big deal, but why does Yuan Chang show such a strict expression?

Compared with Yu Ban, Dian Wei may be able to understand Yuan Chang's thoughts.

During the First Battle of Nanpicheng, Guo Jia once asked the people of Nanpicheng to help defend the city, but Yuan Chang refused, and told them that as soldiers, their responsibility was to protect the people. Now that they can't protect the people, they still need the people to help them, how can they be called soldiers?

It is true that Gongsun Chan decided that the Zhanghe River flooded Yecheng and attacked Yuan Shao, but what should they do with the hundreds of thousands of people in Yecheng? Perhaps after the flooding, Yuan Shao will still be Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Chan will still be Gongsun Zhan, and their status will not change, and they can still live a good life. However, what about ordinary people? Some children may have just been born, but they have to go through the choice of life and death, and some are already old and just want to spend the last days of their lives quietly, but they can't be satisfied.

As Yuan Chang once said, "Prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer", Dian Wei is also from the common people's family, and can better understand the thoughts of the people. Undoubtedly, Yuan Chang's thoughts may be benevolent, one of his weaknesses, but it is the light that most people need to shine on their lives.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Dian Wei asked with a solemn expression, flooding Yecheng was not a trivial matter, and Dian Wei knew that Yuan Chang would stop it. Perhaps, the former Dian Wei didn't think there was anything, but after following Yuan Chang for so long, he had already been influenced by Yuan Chang. Therefore, Dian Wei did not want this to happen.

Yu Ban was a little confused, what happened to Yuan Chang and Dian Wei? Gongsun Zhan's flooding of Yecheng had much to do with Yuan Chang, and why did they react so much?

"My lord, didn't you say before that you would let Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fight casually, and we wouldn't interfere?"

Yuan Chang glanced at Yu Ban, Yu Ban had not been in contact with him for a long time, and he didn't know what he thought, but Yuan Chang could understand. At that moment, Yuan Chang said with a stern expression: "Wen Ze, Hong Fei, they have been with me for a long time, and they all know what I once said, 'Prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer', you must keep this sentence in mind." If Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fight normally, I won't care about them, the harder they fight, the happier I am. However, now that Gongsun Chan wants to flood Yecheng, I will not agree. In Yecheng, there are still hundreds of thousands of people, and I will not let Gongsun Chan go to the scourge. So, we have to stop it!"

Yu Ban looked at Yuan Chang in a daze, as if he was a little stunned. Although Yu Ban still couldn't clearly understand what Yuan Chang meant, Yu Ban at least understood that Yuan Chang was not for Yuan Shao, but for the hundreds of thousands of people in Yecheng.

Looking at Yuan Chang's not majestic body, Yu Ban felt that Yuan Chang was so majestic at this moment, so he could only look up, and his body exuded endless light. Yu Ban's heart seemed to be touched, his spirit was sublimated, and he seemed to be able to understand Yuan Chang's thoughts.

"Lord, hurry up and tell me how to do it, I have long wanted to do a big job. ”

Dian Wei licked his lips with an excited look. After staying on this mountain for so long and not doing anything, Dian Wei has long been tired of it. Yu Ban's martial arts are average, Dian Wei asked Yu Ban to try it out, but Yu Ban simply refused. Yu Bancai is not so stupid, and he abuses Dian Wei. Dian Wei sighed a little, why didn't Yuan Chang bring Zhao Yun with him, that way he wouldn't be lonely.

Yuan Chang glared at Dian Wei, feeling a good atmosphere, how could it be ruined by Dian Wei's words.

"Hong Fei, tonight you go to Yecheng and use a bow and arrow to shoot the news that Gongsun Chan wants to flood Yecheng into the city. Wen Ze, you straighten out the soldiers, ready to go at any time, this matter is serious, and there must be no negligence. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Yu Ban replied very simply, he did have the style of a soldier. As a general, obeying the orders of your superiors is the most basic requirement.

"Lord, what if Yuan Shao doesn't believe it? What if he suspects that this is Gongsun Zhan's trick?"

Yuan Chang's brows furrowed, this was indeed a problem. However, no matter what, he had to remind Yuan Shao first, and as for whether Yuan Shao believed it or not, it depended on Yuan Shao's wisdom. Yuan Chang, on the other hand, was going to the soldiers of Gongsun Zan on the Zhanghe River, and he couldn't let them release the water of the Zhanghe River.

"Whether Yuan Shao believes it or not, we have to do our best, as long as we have a clear conscience, it's enough!"

After the discussion, Dian Wei and Yu Ban immediately began to act. Yu Ban put the 5,000 cavalry in order, kept them in the best condition, and could enter the battle at any time.

As for Dian Wei, he began to arm, and if he wanted to go to Yecheng, he might be intercepted by Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, and he couldn't be at ease. No, it's a fatal thing. Of course, for Dian Wei, it will not be him who loses his life, but Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, and it is not so easy to want his Dian Wei's life.

It was night, it was quiet, and it was even more fortunate that the dark clouds were shrouded and the moonlight was dark, Dian Wei rushed to Yecheng alone and shot the arrow tied with the news into the city. Then, without hesitation, he turned around and left, and then Gongsun Zhan's soldiers found that Dian Wei had already disappeared.

In Yecheng, Yuan Shao summoned a group of civil and military personnel to the mansion to discuss matters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of someone shooting this into the city earlier?"

Yuan Shao passed the strip of cloth with handwriting to the Wenwu, and after everyone read it, he asked. The strip of cloth was only seven short words, "Breaking the Zhang River, flooding Yecheng"! However, after seeing these short seven words, people were terrified.

Feng Ji was the first to stand up, maybe Feng Ji thought that he was an old man who had followed Yuan Shao for a long time, so he would answer first every time. However, no one will argue with him about this kind of thing, but to see what he has to say.

"My lord, the person who shoots the arrow has not stated his identity, maybe it may be that Gongsun Zhan's people deliberately did so. wanted to lure the lord out of the city and ambush him, so his subordinates thought that this news might be a fraud. ”

"My lord, the heavens have been changing in recent days, and there seem to be signs of a rainstorm. If this is the case, it is not impossible to say that the Zhanghe River is broken. ”

The person who spoke was Guo Tu, he and Feng Ji have always been at odds, so naturally they would not agree with Feng Ji. Guo Tu is a native of Yingchuan, while Feng Ji is a native of Jizhou. Regional disputes have existed since ancient times, and Guo Tu and Feng Ji are not in harmony but also talk about the past.

After Feng Ji and Guo Tu were published, others also expressed their opinions. Some are in favor of Feng Ji and some are in favor of Guo Tu, but they failed to reach a unified opinion anyway, but made the scene a little noisy.

"Report!"

Just as everyone was arguing, a soldier shouted outside the door, and everyone fell silent.
