Chapter 88: Liu Bei's plan

Jizhou,Guangzong.

If it weren't for the mistake of planning, the Yellow Turban forces in the eight states of the world would be connected, and this would be a good base camp for the Yellow Turbans. However, as the war was in full swing, all the commanders of the Yellow Turbans were beheaded or captured and escorted to Luoyang, and the balance of victory gradually shifted towards the Han army.

Guangzong is located in the middle of the Jizhou Plain, the northern city of Quyang is adjacent to Montenegro, over the grassland further north of Montenegro, and Sun Zhan, the governor of Youzhou, who holds the Fu Festival, is leading 3,000 cavalry to fight to the death against Qiu Liju, the leader of Karasuma who was lured by Zhang Chun and rebelled.

To the west is the majestic Taihang Mountains, where more than 10,000 Han troops led by Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, are stationed in the place where they cross the mountains, and they surround Guangzong across the water, digging trenches and manufacturing ordnance.

It is not a river, but a general term for six large rivers, which flow through the seven counties of Guangzong, Xingguo, Qiu, Nan, Ren, Yao, and Jin. The territory of Xingguo in the upper reaches is called Yehe, the territory of Guangzong is called Dasha River, the Nannan and Ren counties are called Nanli River, and the Jingyao and Jin are called Beili River. From west to east, it traverses the Xingguo Kingdom for 200 miles. Among them, the riverbed is several miles wide, and the downstream is full of white sand, and there is no water on weekdays.

It is a seasonal river that usually dries up and exposes the riverbed, but during the rainstorm season, the river swells and even forms a flood.

And Guangzong is precisely surrounded by the six rivers of the river in the center.

There is a moat excavated outside the city of Guangzong, coupled with the natural barrier of the sandy riverbed of the Liuchuan River, it can be seen that Zhang Jiao is not a god stick with different military strategies, and a person with different military strategies will not choose such a place as a base camp.

Among the eight states in the world that were attacked by the Yellow Turban, in addition to the disadvantage of the Han court forces at the beginning, with Liu Hong rewarding soldiers in Xiyuan, all kinds of elite soldiers and strong generals participated in the suppression, and the momentum of the rebellion in the seven states has gradually disappeared, only Jizhou.

Here are the Yellow Turban wrestlers trained by Zhang Jiao himself, here are the three leaders of the Yellow Turban forces, and here are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban believers.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

At night, Lu Zhi knelt in front of the desk wearing a single coat, and there was a topographical map of the vicinity of Guangzong on several cases, which was drawn by his disciples in the days when Guangzong was besieged.

Despite the poor workmanship, the nearby mountains and rivers are painted in a transparent and concise way.

Rao is Lu Zhi's ruling side quells the rebellion in both places, but he has no other way to besiege Guangzong in front of him, and he has been thinking and meditating for countless days and nights but there is no good plan.

Thinking about it, the big tent was opened, and a young man with a weak crown slowly walked in with a meal, the young man was dressed in the light armor of the Han army, the young man's cheeks were thin, his brows with a smile were slightly lowered, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, and the kindness in it seemed to be overflowing, and just looking at the appearance would make people like it a little.

The young man put down his meal on the side case, and saluted Lu Zhi with a smile: "Sir, the student learned that you didn't think about tea and rice to destroy the enemy, so he ordered Huotou to make some food for you, you can eat some while it's hot." ”

"Oh, it's Xuande." Lu Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, pointed to a few cases and said, "Sit." ”

Liu Bei, the word Xuande. A few years ago, Lu Zhi was about to take up the post of Jiujiang Taipunctual student, but at that time, Liu Bei didn't like to study, and the country boy didn't have any foresight, so he didn't like Lu Zhi, and he didn't look annoying, so Lu Zhi remembered him. When quelling the Jiujiang rebellion, Liu Bei's role under Lu Zhi was only revealed, treating people equally, regardless of whether they were high or low, issuing notices, appeasing the people, rectifying the soldiers and horses, and doing many things in the same way, but Liu Bei was able to take the trouble to always hang the smile on his face to make people feel like a spring breeze.

A few days ago, Liu Bei recruited a group of ranger swordsmen at home to volunteer to clear the yellow scarves, and when he met the teacher again, he followed Lu Zhi's side as an entourage.

Liu Bei served Lu Zhi a cup of warm soup and said, "Sir, you drink some warm soup first." ”

Lu Zhi took a sip, pointed to the map and asked Liu Bei, "Xuande, do you have any suggestions for the thieves of Guangzong?" ”

"Sir, I'm going to be a student in school." Liu Bei lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasantly, and said, "The student's suggestion is the same as the gentleman's decision. ”

"Oh?" My decision? Lu Zhi shook his head secretly, Xuande was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and overinterpreted himself, to be honest, Lu Zhi really had no decision, so he could only wait for the opportunity. However, he did want to know how Liu Bei would interpret his inaction, and asked, "Let's hear it." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "These days, the cold rain has been repeated, and the water has skyrocketed, which is the time when our army is not happy. It is difficult to cross the cloud ladder surrounded by the six rivers, which is not advantageous for our army. There are many demon believers in this place, and they must be overcome in a battle, otherwise they are afraid of change, and this is unfriendly for our army. ”

"Therefore, the three talents of heaven, earth and man are not in our army, so we can only wait for one way."

Lu Zhi frowned, he understood these disadvantages, so he asked, "If you are given time, is there a way to solve it?" ”

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded and said: "At this time in summer, the rain is pouring down, and the water of the Dachuan River is soaring. Although it deprived our army of the opportunity to attack, it also made it difficult for the thief army to escape from the city. Our county dug ditches to drain the water, and the thieves knew about the siege equipment, and the thieves were outnumbered. Therefore, the students concluded that once the rainstorm stopped, the thieves would definitely fight out of the city and destroy the siege equipment. Our army can take advantage of that day to concentrate its forces to destroy its sharpness, once the thief army wants to abandon the city and go to Quyang, Liuchuan will change from a moat to a besieged river, and they will not be able to escape. If it is also passed on to Senior Brother Bogui to intercept the back road of the thieves with light horses, the right time, place and people will all belong to our army, and the Yellow Turban will be defeated. ”

Lu Zhi opened his mouth slightly, squinted his eyes and nodded, patted Liu Bei's shoulder and said, "Xuande's theory of heaven and earth is good, it's just that ...... Alas"

This Liu Bei is really a master who is good at relying on foreign objects. Lu Zhi didn't think of such a strategy, but the reality was that it was impossible for the imperial court to give him such a long time to wait until the thunderstorm season passed.

Looking at the student with a radiant look between his eyebrows, Lu Zhi shook his head but didn't say anything more to Liu Bei, just lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.

After Lu Zhi finished eating, Liu Bei was still tidying up the dishes and pans with low eyebrows and walking out of the big tent as he came.

Liu Bei didn't ask Lu Zhi what he wanted to say but didn't say, but what was behind him, he knew, even if he asked Lu Zhi, he might not tell him.

Lu Zhi would not take the initiative to say it, and Lu Zhi was very relieved to see that the disciple with a radiant spirit between his eyebrows was no longer the country boy he was when he was a teenager.

This disciple is not as heroic as Gongsun Bogui, and many times he seems to be very small, but he has grown a lot. As a gentleman, you don't need to be boosted by Yan Miao, let alone tell this disciple who is a young man who is bent on protecting the country, whether the court is dark.

After blowing out the lamp and candles, Lu Zhi and his clothes lay on the couch and closed his eyes, and tomorrow morning he will meet the angel overseers from Luoyang.

Go to bed early.
