Chapter Eighty-Five: Cutting off the water
After the Qi people captured Yangcheng, they left the garrison, and the rest of the main force quickly retreated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jiu Ge sat in the tent and frowned, now that the plan to lower the tiger and leave the mountain has been achieved, the question is that this evil tiger is about to come back, how should he deal with it? If King Qi descends to the book in front, naturally everyone will be happy, but if Da Yu is the first to kill, and he fails to capture Yuetao, then the city and the outside of the city should be together, even if he has wings, it will be difficult to fly.
Zhao Xin walked into the tent with a depressed face, and saw that the kettle on the side was picked up and poured violently: "Look at the hot day, the camp is about to become a fire, how can the soldiers prepare for war." ”
Jiu Ge also frowned, and couldn't help but look at the scorching sun outside the tent: "Are the wounded okay?"
"Don't mention it. Zhao Xin sat down on the spot: "Even if the terrain of the wounded is adjusted to the back shade, the sweat is still raining, many soldiers' wounds are suppurated, and the military doctor can hardly stop, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that the military doctor will also fall." ”
When Jiu Ge heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "I've been looking forward to the rain for a long time, and I don't know when this rain will fall." ”
"Just these two days. Zhao Xin replied casually, "No matter what the climate is, how to attack the city at the moment is the most important, there is a hurry to return to the army, if our army still does not move, when the Qi army arrives, we will become a turtle in the urn." ”
Jiu Ge obviously didn't listen to what Zhao Xin said later, but just looked at him suspiciously: "How did the general know that it had been raining in the past two days?"
Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "There are many battles and injuries in this battle, and joint pain is inevitable, so when it is about to rain, I feel uncomfortable." Zhao Xin glanced at Jiu Ge and couldn't help but say proudly:
"Don't say it, it's really accurate, it's very good in Turin several times, because of this, I made some silver by betting with the soldiers before, haha. ”
Jiu Ge couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you lose, you will gain, and the general is fortunate to get the heavenly opportunity." ”
"It's not enough to know the heavens. Zhao Xin laughed: "Now the flood season is coming, I'm just a few more accurate days than others, in the past, I was basically busy with flood control, now it's good, Yue Tao didn't take it, we don't want to be washed away by the flood." ”
"Flood?" Jiu Ge couldn't help frowning, "When is the flood season?"
"Just these two days. Zhao Xin suddenly looked at Jiu Ge: "Is there a way to break the city when Xia joins the army?"
Jiu Ge didn't answer, but he kept thinking in his mind, and he looked at Zhao Xin for a long time:
"Does the general know what the water potential of this merchant is?"
Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's very big, especially in the flood season, if the flood control is not done properly, it is easy to flood." ”
Jiu Ge thoughtfully: "Flood?"
"Yes, so we have to prepare in advance, don't we take the city by then, but we will be washed away with men and horses. ”
Jiu Ge couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "The people in the city are not afraid, what are you worried about, General?"
"This-" Zhao Xin was speechless for a while, and then looked at Jiu Ge as if he had gained something: "Xia joined the army, but he has a plan to break the city?"
Jiu Ge was noncommittal, just frowned and said, "But it depends on whether God is willing to help us." ”
Zhao Xin was instantly interested when he heard this: "How to break the city?
"Water irrigation!" Jiu Ge gave two words.
Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Xia joins the army and means that water irrigates Yue Tao?"
"Exactly. Jiu Ge nodded: "Yue Tao is backed by Shang Mountain, and Shang water flows down from Shang Mountain, if our army digs a big canal in the north of the mountain, and then digs a large reservoir, and then builds a dam to block the upper reaches of Shang Shui, this river water will flow into the new canal." ”
Zhao Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "When the time comes, we will break the embankment and irrigate the city, so that the people in the city will become fish and turtles." ”
Jiu Ge nodded: "Therefore, the top priority is to ask the general to select a group of soldiers, take advantage of the sun, and go up the mountain to dig a ditch with great fanfare." ”
"What?" Zhao Xin was stunned: "How can this kind of thing be made a big deal, if Qi Jun knows, can this ditch still be dug?"
Jiu Ge smiled: "I just want them to know, of course, not that they know about irrigation, but that they deliberately leak the news to them, saying that they want to cut off the water." ”
"Intercept the flow and cut off the water?" Zhao Xin looked at Jiu Ge in confusion, and patted his head for a long time: "I understand, this is called covering people's eyes and ears, making Qi Jun mistakenly think that we cut off his water source to trap them in the city in this way." ”
"Exactly. Jiu Ge looked at Zhao Xin: "That Zheng Ke has been a minister for many years, and he must also know that the flood season is coming, if I am lucky, I can fool him over, and take advantage of the right time and place, and take Yue Tao just around the corner." ”
"Not bad. Zhao Xin stroked his palms and smiled: "Xia joins the army with good strategies, and it is not in vain that General Ji trusts you so much, and he will go to handle related matters." ”
Jiu Ge nodded: "There is also General Lao Zhao who must speed up the process, I think Nada will definitely come in the near future, and we have to implement this plan before the reinforcements arrive." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Zhao Xin got up and walked out of the tent as he spoke.
On the Yuetao city wall, Zheng Ke stood on one side with his hands in his hands, watching the Zhao army walking towards Shang Mountain, and he didn't feel suspicious, so he turned to the soldiers beside him:
"Do you know what Zhao Jun is here for?"
"General Hui, my subordinates don't know. The soldier hurriedly bowed down and bowed.
Zheng Ke waved his hand and was about to send someone to inquire, but he saw Du Lieutenant Wu coming towards him with a single eyebrow.
"The general is so interested, but he is enjoying the beautiful scenery. ”
Zheng Ke smiled: "I don't know what the captain thinks?"
"Takami didn't dare. Wu Dan smiled: "It's just that I just learned a piece of news, and I want General Bi to like to hear it, so I came to talk about having fun with the general." ”
"Oh?" Zheng Ke raised his eyebrows: "What kind of news? But about Zhao Jun?"
"Exactly. Wu Shan smiled and said: "Only then did the spies report that it was the Zhao army that was mobilizing soldiers to go up the mountain to dig ditches. ”
Zheng Ke looked at Zhao Jun, who was still climbing up the mountain in the distance: "I still think it's strange, I see, it's just that why do you suddenly go up the mountain to dig a ditch now?"
"According to our spies, the Zhao army was stationed outside the city, and was annoyed by the heat, and the city could not be attacked repeatedly, so they thought of a plan to cut off the water and kill us in the city. ”
"Cut off the water?" Zheng Ke frowned slightly: "Don't they know that the flood season is coming?"
"The general doesn't know anything. Wu Dan said with a smile: "Last time, the straw bag Jiang Shi led the soldiers by mistake and was executed, and now there is another one to join the army, it is said that he has not even received the soldiers, and he was squeezed out by Jiang Shi as soon as he came, and before the war started, he was imprisoned by Jiang Shi." ”
"Joining the army?" Zheng Ke glanced at Wu Dan: "What's the origin?"
"I don't know where it came from, I only know that it was Gongzi Xuanyu who brought it in. Wu Shan said with disdain: "As soon as I heard it, it was a related household, and eighty percent of them came to mix military merits." ”
