Chapter 783: Battle of Jingzhou City Next
Boom Boom Boom Boom !!!!
Lightning.
Another heavy rain poured down, drop by drop, the size of a little finger, and then it continued to drip down, washing the earth inside and outside the city, and it rained heavily, for several days.
Under such circumstances, forcing the battle was undoubtedly adding casualties, so the Yizhou army withdrew its troops back to the camp as soon as possible and gave up the attack on the city wall.
The Jingzhou army also reined in the defensive fortifications a little.
The city of Jingzhou ushered in a brief period of exemption from war.
"This year's rainy season is much more ferocious than last year!"
Standing under the wall of the city, looking at the basin of rain flowing down from the eaves above his head, both Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked heavy.
They are located in Jingzhou, and they are not without the trouble of the river.
Although the flooding in Koto is even worse.
However, Jingzhou has also been shrouded in floods for many years, especially the location of Jingzhou City, which is not high in its own right, and is still at the intersection of rivers.
"If the flood is raging, our Jingzhou City will bear the brunt!"
Cai Mao said softly.
"The Yangtze River is starting to rise, and it is rising very violently!" Zhang Yun said in a low voice: "But the Hanshui side is still stable, and it is still stable, the location of Jingzhou City is usually easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is at the intersection of the Hanshui and the Yangtze River, and it is the location of the downstream, once the river soars and the river is raging, I am afraid there is no need to guard!" ”
"Wait!"
Cai Mao's eyes suddenly widened, looked at Zhang Yun, and asked, "You said that Han is stable?" ”
"That's right!"
Zhang Yun nodded: "This morning I asked the scouts to investigate the location of the river, the Yangtze River is rising, but the Han River may be because the current is not urgent, and the river is divided into several sections from the upper fork, but the water level does not continue to rise!" ”
"That's not right!"
Cai Mao said gloomily: "The water rose when it rained before, but now it is more violent than before, it is impossible that the water level has not risen at all, send someone to check!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Yun also noticed the problem and hurriedly said.
In the evening, news of the scouts returned.
"Dadu Governor, the river not only did not rise, but also lowered a little, although it is not much, but this situation is not possible at all, now is the time of heavy rain, the sky is raining heavily, the water level is high, how can this happen!" In the lobby of the county government in the city, Zhang Yun had a gloomy face, a little incredulous.
"The only possible ......"
Cai Mao knelt beside him, his pupils burst out with a gleam, and said gloomily: "Someone upstream is storing water!" ”
"Storing water?"
When Zhang Yun heard this, his fists clenched suddenly, and he said indignantly: "They dare to do this, it's just mad!" ”
"Grand Duke, there are people outside asking to see you!"
At this moment, a guard suddenly walked in and said, "What he is holding is the token of the state governor's mansion!" ”
"Biography!"
A young man walked in, his body was very embarrassed, obviously tumbling out of the dirt, his head was covered with muddy water, and his whole body was soaked: "Young General Liu Hu, the secret guard of the State Pastoral Mansion, meet the Metropolitan Governor!" ”
"Dark Guard?" Cai Mao knew that when Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, there was a group of scouts to explore horses, and they were all his villagers, scattered all over the country to collect news for him: "What's the matter?" ”
"Metropolitan Governor, this is news from the Yizhou military camp!"
Liu Hu handed over the bamboo tube in his hand.
Cai Mao opened it, glanced at it, and a chill rose in her heart: "What a ruthless heart!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yun leaned over, and when he looked at it, his face turned pale: "They really dare to flood the city?" ”
………………………………
Mujing has been very laid-back lately.
Do more wrong, do less wrong, and don't do it, so he will be a hostage for a while.
It's just that if he wants to be stable, he may not be able to do so.
"Lord, someone asks to see!" Zhuge Xuan opened the door curtain, walked in, and said with a report.
"Who!" Mu Jing is studying "Warring States Policy", this book is broad and profound, and his comprehension ability is a little obscure, so he has been studying for a while recently, and when he heard Zhuge Xuan's words, he raised his head slightly and asked.
"Zhang Ren!"
"Him?"
Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, put away the book in his hand, and said, "Please let him in!" ”
"No!"
Zhuge Xuan walked out and soon welcomed Zhang Ren in.
In fact, he is now in the Yizhou military camp, Zhang Ren wants to see him, it is absolutely no problem to break in, such a lawsuit is sued in front of Liu Yan, Liu Yan is all about protecting his shortcomings, and in the end he can only give up.
But Zhang Ren came according to the rules, but it seems that his quality, this is a person who abides by the rules, but he is persistent.
I'm afraid of this kind of person.
He won't make mistakes, but as long as he insists on something, he will do it to the end, he can keep an eye on you, but he will make you helpless.
"Zhang Ren has seen Minghou!" Zhang Ren saluted, although the number of etiquette is simple, but it can be regarded as polite, although Mu Jing is a prince of the imperial court, but he is not in the same system, and he is not respectful.
"General Zhang is free today!"
Mu Jing stretched out his hand with a smile and made an inviting gesture: "Please sit down!" ”
"I'm not sitting anymore!" Zhang Ren said indifferently: "I came today to ask Minghou for one thing!" ”
"General Zhang is polite, if there is anything, just say it!"
"Give up the plan to flood Jingzhou City!"
Zhang said word by word.
"I don't understand what you're saying!" Mu Jing squinted, this Ren's sense of touch was keen, although he had the intention of conniving at the leakage of news, but it was not easy for him to find his door so quickly.
"Minghou, we know it well, why bother saying these words!" Zhang Ren stared at Mu Jing and said, "You let Xi Zhicai lead the herdsman army to store water upstream, even if you can hide it from the scouts of Jingzhou City, you can't hide it from the scouts of my Dongzhou army!" ”
He kept a close eye on the herdsman, so he couldn't hide any movement from the herdsman, especially Liu Yan had other uses for the herdsmen, so he was even more nervous, so as long as he snodied, he knew what the herdsmen were doing.
This incident made him, a general who had been on the battlefield for several years, a little frightened.
"You shouldn't be looking for me about this!"
Mu Jing said calmly: "I have handed over the military power, if there is no lord nod in this matter, Xi Zhicai will not dare to mess around, you have to look for it, and you will also find the lord, find Xi Zhicai, I am now the chief bookkeeper of the army, and I am responsible for the logistics of the march, I am not to blame for this matter!" ”
Liu Yan put him in the camp, and he also had a name, appointing him as the chief bookkeeper of the line, responsible for supervising the transportation of the logistics battalion, mostly supervising the transportation, that is, supervising the transportation of the army, a dispensable position, at most it is just a fictitious position, Hou Qing transportation of the Yizhou Army, no matter how bold Liu Yan is, he will not let him touch it.
"Minghou, can you hide it from your lord, can you hide it from me?" Zhang Ren said coldly: "If it weren't for your order, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing!" ”
"It seems that the general is determined, and this matter is my strategy!"
Mu Jing looked at Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren's keen reaction, as well as his firm persistence, are all a kind of personality charm, and it is not unreasonable that he can become one of the main generals of the Yizhou Army.
"Minghou, do you know that when the flood is flooded, how far is the lonely soul?" Zhang Ren asked through gritted teeth.
"Of course I do!"
Mu Jing shrugged, he did not deny that this was his guidance, in front of a person who knew well, pretending to be ignorant, then it was really ignorant, he asked calmly: "But General Zhang, do you have a strategy to break the city?" ”
"Although there is no good plan, it will not cause evil to come to this!"
Zhang Ren is very disgusted with such behavior, fighting on the battlefield, fearless in life and death, even if it is killed in the blood sea and knife mountain, it doesn't matter, whether it is his own soldiers killed in battle, or he kills the enemy soldiers, it is all right, but this strategy can make hundreds of thousands of people for no reason die in the flood, this is evil.
"This is what the lord promised, and I am not lying about this, if it is not for the lord's answer, no one will dare to move!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "If you don't want to, you can go to the lord!" ”
"That's why I came to ask for Minghou!"
Zhang Ren said coldly.
He knew that he couldn't convince Liu Yan, so he would look for Mu Jing.
"Minghou is young and young, with a great future, why do you need to fight for this, and create evil, aren't you afraid that the soul will beg for your life night after night in the future!" Zhang Ren's eyes were like torches, staring at Mu Jing's expression, wanting to see through his heart.
"How can I help you?" Mu Jing looked at Zhang Ren with calm eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Drag, at any time, don't break the embankment!" Zhang Rendao: "I will break the city as soon as possible, and I will not do this trick, our marching people, casualties on the battlefield, it is a matter of course, but we can't let hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou City be buried together!" ”
