Towards dusk, the clouds and rain stopped, and the weather suddenly cleared, and the sunset was full of dazzling colors, which also indicated that tomorrow would be a good weather.

Lu Zhao sighed softly, sure enough, the spring rain could not last long, it only stopped after less than two days, if it could really rain a few more days, it would be good if it could really rain a few more days, and the state army would not even have a chance to attack the city again.

But there is no regret about this, after all, this heavy rain really helped Lu Zhao a lot, so that the tired defenders got a full rest, even if the Jizhou army launched another attack at this time, the Jizhou army could also go to the battle in good spirits.

This heavy rain is not only extended for two days, but it is equivalent to restarting the offensive and defensive battle of Xindu, originally under the continuous attack of the Bingzhou army, the Jizhou army is extremely exhausted, and its physical strength and energy have reached the limit.

But after two days of rest, the energy and physical strength of the Jizhou army have been completely restored, and the fatigue has been swept away.

The date of the arrival of Sima Division's reinforcements was getting closer and closer, and Lu Zhao's originally hanging heart gradually let go.

The clouds and rain stopped, and it was estimated that the Jizhou army would soon re-launch the attack, so Lu Zhao ordered all the Jizhou troops to board the city and be on first-level alert, as long as the Jizhou army was killed, they could enter the battle at the first time.

Lu Xun said suspiciously: "Father, it's dusk, even if the state army wants to attack the city, then it will have to wait until tomorrow, right?" ”

Lu Zhao shook his head and said, "Having said that, we can't be careless, because of the rain, the attack of the Bingzhou army has been delayed for two days, so it is very likely that they will launch an attack tonight, we must be fully prepared." ”

Saying that, Lu Zhao set his eyes on the Bingzhou army camp in the distance, because of the rain before, the rain and fog were filled, and he couldn't see the situation of the Bingzhou army camp at all, but at this moment, the weather was clear, Lu Zhao looked into the distance, but he could see it clearly.

According to Lu Zhao's calculations, even if the Bingzhou army will not attack tonight, it will definitely not be late tomorrow morning, and the Bingzhou military camp at this moment must be ready to attack and fully prepare for the attack.

But to his surprise, the entire camp of the Bingzhou army was a mess, the camp tent was gone, the vehicles were gone, not even a single person could be seen, and the camp was full of useless things, all of which seemed to indicate that the Bingzhou army had retreated in a hurry.

Fall back? What are you kidding, it's like Keju, they all rushed under the goal with the ball, but abandoned the ball and retreated for no reason, isn't this nonsense?

Could this be another conspiracy of the state army? A hint of suspicion flashed across Lu Zhao's face. This is very likely, the battle between the two sides was originally a battle of wits and courage, and the state army failed to attack the city, and deliberately abandoned the camp and left, I am afraid that there was another purpose.

However, even if they want to play the trick of luring the snake out of the hole, Lu Zhao may not be fooled, after all, the Jizhou army's field combat ability is weak, and going out of the city is to send him to death, no matter what the situation is, Lu Zhao will not leave the city easily.

If the Jizhou army wanted to lure the Jizhou army out of the city, then they were completely miscalculated.

Although the army would not leave the city, it did not prevent Lu Zhao from sending a few scouts to find out. When the scouts went out of the city, the Jizhou army did not dare to open the city gate, but used hanging baskets to put these scout soldiers down from the city, for fear that there would be an ambush there, and when they opened the city gate, they would suddenly kill and snatch the city gate.

The scout soldiers quickly went and returned, and reported to Lu Zhaoyu about the situation outside the city, the camp of the Bingzhou army that originally surrounded Xindu was now empty, and there was no trace of the Bingzhou army in sight, and there was no trace of the Bingzhou army within a radius of ten miles.

The sky was getting dark, and the scouts didn't dare to go any further, so they could only report the information they had now to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the state army really had to withdraw, could it be said that they gave up so quickly? This is obviously not like Cao Liang's combat style?

Before the heavy rain, the offensive of the Bingzhou army has been fierce, and they seem to know very well that there is not much time left for their siege, so the attack of the Bingzhou army is very urgent, and the city of Xindu is also in a hurry, and there is always a danger of overturning.

But this sudden heavy rain disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Bingzhou army, but even if it was delayed for two days, the Bingzhou army should not have given up so easily, could it be that Sima Division's reinforcements were approaching?

Since Xindu was besieged, Lu Zhao couldn't get the news from Luoyang, and he didn't know how Sima Shi's reinforcements were progressing now, but according to the time, it would arrive in about a few days.

If it can be confirmed that the Bingzhou army has withdrawn, then it must have a great relationship with the arrival of the division's reinforcements, and the Bingzhou army withdrew from the position first in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, which is also a reasonable explanation.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that the crisis in Xindu would be finally resolved because of a heavy rain, which is really an unbelievable thing.

But in any case, the most dangerous moment of Xindu has passed, and Lu Zhao can finally sleep peacefully, tomorrow they will send cavalry to reconnoiter farther away, and at the same time prepare for the arrival of Sima Shi.

Although the rain stopped, the rising trend of the Zhanghe River did not stop, the rising river water continued to wash the river embankment, and the rapid current in the entire river trough was turbulent, wanton and the ocean, like an untamable beast, always having the appearance of breaking out of the cage.

Wen Qin led a thousand cavalry to garrison the embankment of the Zhanghe River at this moment, this is a section of the embankment in Tangyang County, due to disrepair, this embankment is already dilapidated, this flood, at least once in 50 years, these broken embankments are in danger of collapsing at any time.

The Xiao cavalry battalion came here to dig the embankment, but it was not yet at the appointed time, and Wen Qin had to let these Xiao cavalry take cloth bags and sandbags to rescue the emergency and plug the gaps that were about to collapse.

After all, it has not yet reached the agreed time, and Wen Qin cannot guarantee whether all the troops of the state have withdrawn to a safe area, so if the flood is allowed to flood in advance, the consequences will be very serious, so Wen Qin ordered that when he is not in the country, he will not let a drop of the water of the Zhanghe River flow out.
