Chapter 138: There's a Storm Tonight

The storm blew Zhang Yi's car cover to a staggering one, and Zhang Yi, who had been drenched in the torrential rain like a chicken in soup, was full of anxiety and asked Gongsun Jia: "How far are we from Zhangshui?" ”

Gongsun Jia looked confused: "I am also a foreigner. ”

Zhang Yi had to ask Gongzijie who was huddled in the chariot loudly: "How far are we from Zhangshui?" ”

Gongzijie poked his head out and looked around, hoping to find a landmark building to give him a sense of direction. But he was disappointed, because of the heavy rain, he couldn't see 50 steps away, and finally had to say helplessly: "I'm also a foreigner." ”

When Zhang Yi was confused, there was finally a local nearby person in Gongzijie's entourage, and he replied loudly: "Xiangbang, there are still about ten miles away from Zhangshui here." ”

Zhang Yi watched the heavy rain fall into a difficult choice.

The sudden heavy rain did not give the army time to set up tents, so that more than 100,000 soldiers were drowned in the heavy rain in a blink of an eye.

In fact, this is not what Zhang Yi is worried about, what Zhang Yi is worried about is the impact of this heavy rain on Zhangshui.

Zhangshui is known as an uncertain river, which is diverted every three years and floods every year.

Now the north is high and the south is low, and he is within the scope of his diversion, once the rain increases, Zhangshui floods, and he is in the flood area, if Zhangshui is diverted again, his whole army may be submerged.

And even if it does not flood, the rising water of Zhangshui will isolate its army to the south of Zhangshui. Now, whether to continue to advance north, or turn south, escape from the possible Hongfan District, and postpone the vigorous plan to change the Zhao State and realize his own plan.

If it is delayed, Zhao Guo will be relieved, and his plan will go bankrupt.

Whether to go north or south, Zhang Yi was extremely entangled.

"The rain is pouring down, and it is the right time to raid Anyang." Zhao Hao held the rain cloth, looked outside, and said something like this.

"Taking advantage of this weather, how many men do you need to succeed in your raid on Anyang?" Zhao Xing asked with a shrunken neck. The meaning is already obvious, that is, he does not want to go out with the whole army.

Zhao Hao silently calculated: "Five thousand, five thousand is enough." ”

Zhao Xing nodded and looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie looked at the north: "This rainstorm came too quickly, I estimate that Zhang Yi's men and horses must be like us, and they must have been drenched in soup." But he is different from us, first, they are in the great plains, they are infantry and charioteers, and they will be stuck in the quagmire. Hey. ”

Yin Qi was driven by the words of these three people, and naturally interjected: "And the most dangerous thing is that their current position should be in the Hongfan District of Zhangshui, once the heavy rain does not stop, Zhang Yi's team will be dangerous." ”

Zhao Xing looked at Yin Qi: "Flooded Zhang Yi?" ”

Yin Qi looked at the heavy rain again: "Zhangshui is diverted and flooded from time to time, but after all, it is not as fierce as the river (Yellow River), even if it floods, the water depth can only be waist-deep." ”

"Then how will Zhang Yi decide?" Zhao Xing asked, and then said to Zhao Hao: "The commander of the war, when considering things, you must think about it from the perspective of the enemy's commander. This must be remembered. Zhao Xing kept saying this and talked to Zhao Hao countless times.

Zhao Hao said without hesitation: "If I am in that position, I have two choices, one is to take advantage of the fact that the Zhangshui River has not skyrocketed and the pontoon bridge on the river is still there, and immediately go north to cross the Zhangshui." Not only will it not delay its efforts, but it will also be able to occupy the high ground on the north shore. Another is to give up the plan to raid Handan without hesitation, go south to Anyang to escape from Hongfan District, and then wait for the weather to be fine before going north. ”

Xu Jie smiled: "Back to Anyang, I was tired all the way, and when the rain cleared, the road was muddy and difficult to march, and I didn't know how long it would take to fight again. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "Xu Jie, you can best understand people's hearts, Zhang Yi must be in a hurry to show when he first helped Wei Guo." ”

Zhao Hao pondered: "Since you have to be tired of going south and north, instead of going north to cross Zhangshui, as long as the weather is fine, you can attack, so why go south, and then I don't know when the road is dry and Zhangshui falls and delays time?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled: "Then, now is the decision of my Zhao Jun Commander." If you go south, will I continue to raid Anyang, just squat here, everyone wait for the rain to pass and the sky will clear again, or watch you survive the Zhangshui and gather on the north bank, so that I have no way to say it. ”

Yin Qi came over: "Now that's the case, the heavy rain raided Anyang, and it was definitely easy to win, but it was only a small victory." Zhang Yi went north tired, and then went south in embarrassment in the heavy rain, hundreds of thousands of troops, even if he was tired, with your troops, he couldn't help it. And after he goes north, as you said, when you trouble him, you won't have a chance. Then he added: "Actually, there are only so many of your soldiers." ”

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "There are many ways to play with more soldiers, and there are fewer uses with fewer soldiers." My purpose is to drag Zhang Yi down, and then drag him down, bite him at any time, and make him continue to bleed from old injuries and new injuries. I just want to torture him slowly, and then hang him, a historical celebrity, and watch him suffer and make me happy. Then he sighed: "What a happy thing it is to base one's own happiness on the suffering of others." ”

Zhao Hao stood up: "In this case, brother, I will take five thousand cavalry and raid Anyang in the rain, and annihilate this one first." Brother, you took the remaining 9,000 brothers to raid Zhang Yi's army in the rain, and when he went south, he harassed me to buy time; When he went north, he struck halfway and ran away. Be sure to get out of the Hongfan area before the flood floods. Then he said decisively: "It's decided, now I give the order, divide the troops and set off." ”

Zhao Xing and the others looked at this guy who suddenly changed into a boss.

As a result, Zhao Xing also stood up suddenly: "Then follow your orders, be more careful." ”

"Take care, brother." Zhao Hao casually arched his hand at Zhao Xing, and then went into the rain.

Then the two men rushed into the rain curtain and began to mobilize the army.

Yin Qi asked Xu Jie in surprise: "Who is the commander of this army?" ”

Xu Jie said while packing up his things: "The coach is Zhao Xingjun, but Zhao Xing means to train a generation of famous generals, so he is a little indulgent to his younger brother." Forget it, we don't have to worry about these details between their brothers, we don't need to care about the details, let's go. Ah, by the way, are you following the head of my family, or are you following the second general of my family? ”

Yin Qi was a little embarrassed, and finally decided: "I would like to see how Zhou Bo hangs Zhang Yi, a person from the Qin State." ”
