Chapter 687: King Chen's Plan

"Everyone, in fact, it's not impossible to break that Liu Zheng."

"Oh?"

Liu Pet said it easily, which made everyone more and more curious, and they all looked at Liu Pet one by one.

Liu Pet also enjoyed this kind of gaze from others, as if he had become the focus of the entire military tent.

"Do you know what month it is?"

"Nonsense, May, of course."

Liu Pet asked everyone, Zhang Fei was the first to be impatient, and immediately replied.

"Well, it's the end of May, and it's June soon. If you're not from here, you may not know that May and June are the rainy season, and they are most prone to heavy flooding. ”

"This Huainan City, and connected to the Huai River, I see that there has been rain recently, I promise, in a few days, the water level in the Huai River will rise sharply, when the time comes, we only need to dig the embankment, we can flood Huainan City."

Liu Pet's Chen Guo is above Huainan County, and he is quite familiar with the nearby terrain and climate, and if he attacks Huainan City, his flood plan is indeed very feasible.

"But if we want to flood Huainan, we must prepare some ships in advance, otherwise even if we flood Huainan at that time, we won't be able to go into the city to fight with Liu Zheng's men and horses."

Liu Chong just said his thoughts, but he didn't expect that his plan to flood Huainan City was agreed by Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan at once.

"Flood Huainan City, this plan is good, we surround Huainan City, wait until the water level rises, we can flood Huainan City, and then it is best if we can eliminate Liu Zheng, if not, we can also reduce some of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses."

Liu Bei immediately agreed with Liu Chong's statement, and Gongsun Zhan's face also showed a look of surprise and echoed.

"Well, it's true, let the sergeants go and surround Huainan City immediately, don't let Liu Zheng's men and horses come out of the city."

"Yes, General!"

After Gongsun Chan gave an order, everyone also had an idea.

Next, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan did not attack Huainan City, but only let their men surround the city, and there was no movement for three days.

Liu Zheng in the city, standing on the tower of the city, looking at the army under the city, they had no sign of attacking the city at all, and frowned from time to time.

Xu Huang was puzzled when he saw Liu Zheng's contemplative appearance, and immediately asked Liu Zheng.

"My lord, you seem to be worried?"

"No, Komei, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Xu Huang was also curious about what Liu Zheng meant by what he said was wrong.

"Look at the city, why don't Liu Bei's men and horses attack the city, it's difficult for us to garrison here, and we can't let them attack the city?"

"They are not in a hurry to attack the city, but are planning to besiege the city and cut off our water and food?"

Liu Zheng definitely couldn't figure it out, and with all his efforts, Liu Bei, who raised a large army to attack, came to this Huainan City and only besieged the city without attacking, wouldn't that be a joke.

"Lord, it should be normal for them not to attack the city, after all, the first wave of attacks has already known that we have deployed a large number of soldiers and horses in Huainan City, and if we forcibly attack the city, not only will we not have any advantage, but we will lose our troops because of this, so it is better to besiege and not attack, and we can exchange some time for other battlefields."

"Didn't the lord say that Yuan Shao in the north is attacking our Qingzhou, and it is estimated that they are cooperating with Yuan Shao, just to contain our main force here, and then so that Yuan Shao in the north can easily defeat Qingzhou."

Xu Huang told Liu Zheng what he thought in his heart.

When Liu Zheng heard Xu Huang say this, the expression on his face looked slightly better.

"Well, what you said also makes sense, maybe it was Liu Bei's idea, just to contain us."

"Yes, lord, these days, the weather is not good, it is rainy, Liu Bei and they can't brave the rain to attack the city."

Wen Ping also interjected at this time.

Originally, Liu Zhengdu didn't think much about it, but when he thought of the rain, he glanced at the Huai River on the other side of the city.

There was a shock all of a sudden, and it seemed that something had come to mind immediately.

"That's not right! Wrong! ”

"They don't attack the city, not to contain us, but to wait for the water to rise, they want to flood Huainan City!"

Liu Zheng immediately thought of something.

"Flood Huainan City!"

As soon as they heard Liu Zheng say these words, Wen Ping and Xu Huang were shocked, although some couldn't believe it, but at this time Liu Zheng had already said it, how could they not believe it.

"Quick, let Liu Miao come to see me immediately!"

Liu Zheng shouted at Wen Ping, but Wen Ping didn't care about anything, and immediately sent someone to call Huainan Taishou Liu Miao.

Liu Miao has been a Taishou in Huainan for a long time, which is enough to have some understanding of the situation and environment in Huainan.

Not long after, Liu Miao hurriedly came over to see Liu Zheng.

"Liu Miao, come here, I have something to ask you."

"My lord, please speak."

"Look at the water of the Huai River, if the enemy wants to flood Huainan City, is it feasible?"

Liu Zheng had doubts about whether Huainan City could block the flooding, so he asked Liu Miao to come over, intending to make a decision after asking Liu Miao.

Liu Miao glanced at the water level of the Huai River, which was not yet full at this time, and was at a normal water level, not like there would be a lot of water.

However, Liu Miao's words still made Liu Zheng nervous.

"Lord, according to the situation in previous years, although the Huai River will have a rainy season, the time is just this month, but the city wall of Huainan City is strong, even if it is hit by heavy rain, there will not be too much water in the city, and when there is a big flood in previous years, even if the city is flooded, we can discharge the water from the other side."

Liu Miao made a judgment on the possibility of flooding Huainan City, and did not think that the enemy would use such a strategy.

"You mean that the enemy will not flood Huainan, and even if it is flooded, the walls of the city will resist?"

"Well, unless the enemy directly digs the upstream embankment and brings the water of Gaotang Lake here, then Huainan will be in danger."

Usually, the water level of Gaotang Lake is not enough, but this month is different, after successive rains, the water level of Gaotang Lake rises, has reached the limit, if the Huai River floods Huainan City, then add the water of Gaotang Lake, it is completely enough.

At that time, the impact of the flood directly flooded Huainan and turned it into an ocean.

"It must be, it must be!"

"Quick, Jinyiwei, go and investigate quickly, and see if Liu Bei and these people are already preparing to dig Gaotang Lake!"

After hearing Liu Miao's description, Liu Zheng's face immediately became unpleasant, and he even asked his Jinyi guard to investigate this matter.
