"Why don't we drag the speed of Jingping's First Army south?" Xi Zhicai said: "Jingping's First Army suffered a lot of wounds in the Battle of Xiangyang, this is a fact, we have enough reasons to rest for a while!" ”

"No way!"

Mu Jing shook his head lightly: "If you don't go south, the reason is okay, but since we have gone south, it proves that we have combat effectiveness, and deliberately delaying the speed of going south at this time is not conducive to our image in Liu Yan's heart!" ”

"But we can't let Jingping's First Army become a victim!!" Xi Zhicai's voice became a little excited.

"Naturally, I won't let the Jingping First Army become a victim!"

Mujing stood up.

He took out a few maps from a small bookshelf behind him and placed them on the desk.

The meticulousness of the military map produced by the herdsman is rare in the world, and the depiction of the terrain in each map is very rigorous, and in every scout team, there will be a depiction division who is good at depicting the terrain, which is a rule handed down from the time when Mujing established the Jingping camp.

He spread out a few maps, all of which were the previous pastoral army's research on the terrain around Jingzhou City, especially the northern suburbs, which would be the battlefield of Jingping's First Army.

"If we want our Jingping First Army not to become a stepping stone for him Zhang Ren to enter Xiangyang, we can only break through the city first, as long as Jingzhou City is broken, he Zhang Ren will have no reason to secondment my soldiers and horses!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Taking the initiative to participate in the war can also improve Liu Yan's trust in me!" ”

"But Jingzhou City is too strong!"

Xi Zhicai pointed to the location on the map: "I have carefully surveyed on the spot, there are almost no weaknesses in the northern area, and there are only a few thousand troops in the city to defend it, so it will be difficult for our soldiers and horses to advance!" ”

"It's the rainy season!"

Mu Jing said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Xi Zhicai froze for a moment, and then his eyes became a little frightened.

"Han Shui!"

Mu Jing pointed to the Hanshui River in a low voice.

This is the channel where the Han River flows into the Yangtze River, from the north downstream, downstream, at this time the water rises, the water flow is also very rapid, once cut off from the upstream, then ......

The sight of flooding the three armies can be created.

"Are you crazy?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes widened: "From the upstream, the downstream radius of hundreds of miles, once the water is flooded, all the villages, townships and towns, will be attacked, the most important thing is Jingzhou City, Jingzhou is the main city, hundreds of thousands of people, once the water is over, I am afraid that the people who survive are not one-tenth, that is really full of bones, corpses are everywhere, how much sin do you have to make, attack Jingzhou City!" ”

Since ancient times, flooding and fire attacks have been a routine on the battlefield, but some tricks cannot be used, because there must be a degree of damage to the fish pond, otherwise it will cause public indignation in the world, and the gains outweigh the losses.

He didn't believe that Mu Jing would fight for a battle in Jingzhou City, at the cost of millions of lives.

"Hold but not attack!" Mu Jing spat out another word.

"False tricks?"

Xi Zhicai was a little shocked: "But it may not be able to make them believe it!" ”

"Fiction and reality!" Mu Jing smiled: "If you do it really, you can make people believe it!" ”

"How?"

"You go to offer a plan, but don't say it's a false move, but a real move, the more real the Yizhou Army does, the more this scene will be in place!"

Mu Jing said: "Then let the Jingping First Army fight for this task, and if the flood is not opened at that time, we will have the final say!" ”

"Who's going to scare the snake?"

Xi Zhicai asked.

"The Yizhou military camp is a leaky place, if you offer a plan on the front foot, someone will pass the news to Jingzhou City on the back foot!" Mu Jing smiled indifferently.

"No, it won't!"

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly.

"Humph!"

Mu Jing snorted coldly: "I also recently discovered one thing, in fact, Liu Biao and Liu Yan's defense of the other party is much deeper than we imagined, so it is not surprising that Liu Biao is burying the shadows here!" ”

"Then I'll give it a try!"

The next morning, Xi Zhicai entered the camp, went to Liu Yan's case, and offered a plan.

"What?"

Liu Yan was reviewing the Minsheng recital from Yizhou, and when he heard Xi Zhicai's words, he suddenly raised his head: "Zhicai, you said that you can break through Jingzhou City and enter within half a month, is this true?" ”

"I don't dare to deceive the lord, my subordinates do have a plan to break the city, although I am not very sure, but my subordinates think that instead of attacking and damaging the soldiers, we can try this method!" Xi Zhicai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Say!"

Liu Yan is interested.

"Flood the city!" Xi Zhicai said.

"Flood the city?" Liu Yan's pupils flickered slightly, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Xi Zhicai: "You tell me in detail!" ”

"Lord, please look at the map!"

Xi Zhicai took out a picture from his long sleeves, put it on the case, pointed and said: "This is the north of Jingzhou City, the upper reaches of the Han River, the position of Dangyang is a turning point, now it is the rainy season, there will be rain for more than a month, we build a dam here and store water, when the rain is the most urgent, the most fierce, from this position to open the flood, from Jingzhou City, only dozens of miles, it will be flooded, covering the whole city, then the city will be broken, just between the backhand!" ”

"Zhicai, this plan is ruthless, and it hurts Tianhe!"

Liu Yan gasped and quickly shook his head.

"My lord, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it!" Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "If you can't break the city in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the lord to do big things!" ”

"What's the big deal?" Liu Yan squinted.

He just pretended to be confused, he just wanted to see how much he could understand his own thoughts, Xi Zhicai and Mu Jing.

"The lord is here to raise troops, isn't it just to plan for big things, just Jingzhou, not a big event, what the lord is asking for is the supreme position, but if it is the supreme, it should be a great merit to win the hearts of the people!" Xi Zhicai reminded in a low voice: "If the lord wants to succeed, he needs to be ruthless, if he looks forward and backward, how can the lord get this supreme position!" ”

"Ruthless?"

Liu Yan began to think about it.

He sent troops at the beginning of the year, and now half a year has passed, the longer he has spent in Jingzhou, the more unstable the rear of Yizhou is, and the more he wants to reach the top, the more slim he must be, and most importantly, the more he feels that his body is weak.

After all, the age has come up, when he is young, he doesn't even know how many springs and autumns he has to get, if he can't sit in that position before he dies, he is unwilling.

So Xi Zhicai's words knocked on the door of his heart.

He was tempted.

"You do it!" Liu Yan thought about it and said softly: "So, you don't know anything, and you don't need to report everything!" ”

Typical idea of wanting to be a bitch and wanting to set up a torii!

"No!"

Xi Zhicai calculated his thoughts, so he asked: "Lord, I hope to mobilize the Jingping army to do it, after all, the Yizhou soldiers, I don't use it well, if the news leaks, the plot will definitely fail!" ”

"Accurate!"

Liu Yan nodded, but he had doubts: "Without Long Tu to sit in the town, can you mobilize the pastoral army?" ”

Mu Jing has entered his military camp, it is easy for him to let Mu Jing out, after all, controlling Mu Jing is equivalent to controlling the entire Mu Jing, which is more important than attacking Jingzhou City, rather than Jingzhou City, must collect 100,000 herdsmen.

"The Marquis of Ming has been granted the talisman!" Xi Zhicai said: "And Ming Hou said that there is no need to ask him about the transfer of troops in the future, as long as there is the authorization of the lord, he can be transferred!" ”

"The heart of Longtu, a certain is quite gratifying!"

Liu Yan immediately smiled.

The world is big, and the military power is the greatest.

If Mu Longtu dared to hand over his military power, he really didn't have anything to trust.

In the future, when this matter is over, and then the military power of the herdsman army is collected, and then Hanzhong is recaptured, then Mujing is a wild wolf who has lost his fangs, helpless, can only look up to him, and then he is trained as a domestic dog that can guard the door for him.

………………

The Yizhou army's offensive on the second day ended, this day's attack was much more fierce than yesterday, and it also added a lot of casualties, so Zhang Ren was a little upset, such a strong attack, even if the city was broken, the Dongzhou army also suffered heavy casualties.

He pondered for a long time and decided that the lives of the soldiers were more important than his face.

In the evening, he entered Liu Yanzhong's camp and asked: "My lord, it is rumored that the attack power of the herdsman army is unparalleled in the world, and now a soldier and horse are stationed in Changbanpo, it is really a waste, it is better to send them south, mainly attack the city gate, and they will be able to break through the city as soon as possible!" ”

When Liu Yan heard this, he squinted slightly, he stared at Zhang Ren, and said coldly: "I, the Yizhou soldier, is the elite of the world, just a city, and it can't be broken, and I have to rely on him to shepherd the army, where do you let a certain face go!" ”

"Lord, the shepherd's army is going south, it was originally reinforcements, their combat effectiveness is just a rumor, we must see it with our own eyes, we can rest assured, let them attack the city, but also to see if they are loyal to the lord!" Zhang Ren's reason is also reasonable.

"Having said that, but for the herdsman, I have another important use!"

Liu Yan still shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "Attacking Jingzhou City is your responsibility, if you can't break the city within a limited time, don't blame a certain marching method!" ”

If it was before, Zhang Ren came to invite troops, he would allow it, and he also wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the herdsmen, and to consume the strength of the herdsmen, so that they could attack, there was nothing wrong with it.

But now, Xi Zhicai is tasked with breaking the city, and this Jingping army cannot be easily mobilized.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ren gritted his teeth, although he didn't know what arrangements Liu Yan had for the herdsmen, or he simply didn't want to mobilize the herdsmen, but the words had come to this point, and he could only obey his fate.
