Chapter 274: Misfortune Leads to the East

It's not that you can't attack a city when it rains, but you can't attack it for a long time.

Even if it rains in summer, there is a risk of contracting the wind chill. And the colder the weather, the greater the risk. And in the place where the army gathered, the soldiers lay side by side, plus the wounded soldiers.

It's already early October. The weather is getting colder and colder, if you let the soldiers attack the city in the rain, you don't need to wait for the wind chill to be infected later, that is, in the case of winter rain, the soldiers can fight?

That's why Zhuge Liang said, God help me.

It rained for five days, and two of those five days stopped for an hour. Xu Huang and Zhang He tried to launch a siege, but the time was too short.

And as the rain continued to fall, the roads became much mudier. Although the well car and ladder truck can still be pushed up, it is a lot of trouble.

All in all, unless the rain stops, nothing to talk about. And this day is still gloomy, as if this winter rain will be next or February.

"God, I helped Zhuge Liang." Xu Huang was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe, a sword at his waist, a crown on his head, and standing in front of the Chinese army's tent with both hands on his back, looking at the direction of Anlu City, and sighing for a long time.

On the city of Anlu.

After five days of cultivation, Zhuge Liang ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, and even bought cattle from the people with heavy money, killed chickens and ducks, and rewarded the soldiers.

The soldiers' spirit gradually recovered, and the minor injuries were good quickly, and many of them gained some weight.

At this moment, the soldiers were wearing robes and hats on the city wall, and they were in good spirits. Chen Lan also took a hat and a robe, surrounded by his own soldiers, to inspect the city wall.

"It's a good thing that it rains, even the blood stains on the city walls have been washed away, and the air is no longer smelly." Chen Lan returned to the city gate tower with a smile, and the soldiers helped him to put on his clothes, Chen Lan sat down and drank Mi's wine, which was very comfortable.

Stabilized for the time being.

But to be as stable as Mount Tai, this rain will need another ten days and a half months, or even a month.

Coincidentally, the small hall in the Taishou mansion. Zhuge Liang also drank with Jiang Wan. The two sat across a desk, on which there were two plates of pork

But Zhuge Liang was happy, but he was also a little heavy.

"God saved us, why is my brother sad?" Jiang Wan was surprised.

"Although victory or defeat is a matter of victory, seven points depend on human strategy, and three points depend on the will of God. But at the moment, we are really lucky to get through the difficulties because of a rain. In the future, you need to be more cautious, even if you can't hold Anlu City, you need to retreat calmly, instead of being driven away in embarrassment. ”

Zhuge Liang sighed.

Jiang Wan was in awe, and arched his hand and said, "What my brother said is very true. ”

On the north bank of the Yangtze River in the south of Anlu, Ding Feng led the naval army and set up a water village here. The water village surrounds the warships, and unless the opponent attacks it, it will be safe inside the water wall.

So in the past, when Zhuge Liang planned to defeat the Xiangyang Navy with the water army, Kuai Yue gave Cai Mao and Zhang Yun advice to let the crowd stick to it and not fight.

That's why the warship and the navy were saved.

In the water village, there are "Ding" flags everywhere. However, Ding Feng's army has expanded. Because in the Jiangxia area, the people will have water.

At present, Ding Feng's naval army also has five or six thousand people, and hundreds of large and small warships. If he pulls up the Yangtze River, Ding Feng will dare to engage Huang Zu's army.

But he still didn't dare to fight with Wang Wei, because Wang Wei had 10,000 sailors and horses, and the soldiers were quite elite.

Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Chen Lan, Lei Xu and others guarded Anlu City, and the pressure was huge. And Ding Feng's pressure is not small. If Anlu is lost, the navy will be alone.

Prior to this, Ding Feng led the naval army to float on the river and slip away at any time. At this moment, it was raining heavily, and for five consecutive days, Ding Feng also led his troops back to Shuizhai, as steady as a dog.

The rain is not heavy, just a drizzle. But when you get wet, it's very unpleasant. Ding Feng also stood at the door of the big tent, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and he looked up at the sky.

But I thought to myself.

"Tianyu Guan's ah. My family's prince, the little prince, must have a career. ”

Ding Feng followed Guan Ping very early, and he originally planned to be a doorman. Later, Guan Yu took the throne as General Zuo, and Guan Pingshui rose.

Later, Guan Ping attacked Fangling and went down to Hanzhong. At that time, Ding Feng knew that Guan Ping might have a bright future. And at this moment, Ding Feng's confidence is scary.

Heaven is also bless the Guan family.

Guan, can it be a big deal?

"In the past, the little prince once said that our brothers can be made marquis and generals, but I didn't believe it at the time, and now they are all leading generals, maybe there will really be a title of marquis in the future."

Ding Feng is full of confidence in the future.

..............

Because of a rain, Cao Jun and Guan Jun were in different moods.

And what is the mood of Zhou Yu, who led 30,000 sailors in Jiangdong and thousands of warships, and worshiped the governor of Exian County?

Echeng is an important city on the front line of Jiangdong, a place where materials and grain are stored, but on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the north of the city, there is a water village and a naval army.

Lu Su got up a little late today, and he was infected with the wind cold. I haven't gotten out of bed for four days, although I woke up late today, but I feel in good spirits, so Lu Su put on more clothes and got up cautiously.

After getting up, Lu Su began to eat breakfast, red date porridge, and an egg. This sick body is weak, so you need to be careful not to overeat.

Lu Su was half-full, and his spirit was better.

"Your Excellency. You have been sick for four days, and the slave and maid will see that you should lie down for two more days, so that the wind and cold will not come back. Lu Su, a handmaiden with him, said worriedly.

"Bah, bah, children's words. If you are cured, you will be fine. How can it relapse? Lu Su snorted three times in a row when he heard this, with a look of disgust.

The maid was very helpless, and thought, can adults be more serious?

Of course, Lu Su is not a serious person, he is a casual person. The reason why he got up was that in addition to gradually recovering from his condition, he also had to see Zhou Yu.

"This rain has been falling for five days, although it has helped Zhuge Liang, but it has ruined Gongjin's plan. I don't know how Gong Jin will plan after that, and what will Cao Jun's movements be? ”

Lu Su had such things hidden in his heart, so he couldn't stay any longer. called a carriage and rode to Zhou Yu's mansion.

Zhou Yu heard the news and personally came to the door to greet him. greeted Lu Su with a smile and said, "Zijing is well, congratulations." ”

"Alright, alright." Lu Su nodded again and again, and said happily. The two talked at the door for a while, and then they came to the small hall of the house and sat down together.

Zhou Yu was worried about Lu Su, so he asked his subordinates to boil a bowl of ginger soup for Lu Su to eat. Lu Su didn't like to eat it very much, but he still wrinkled his face and drank the ginger soup.

The round face is crumpled, like a bun.

"Princess, your plans have been ruined by a rain. But looking at your face, it doesn't seem to care. After Lu Su drank the ginger soup, he put the bowl down and said.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. When the two armies are facing each other, I can't anticipate what will happen like a god. Not to mention providence? It rained and shattered my plans, and it wasn't a big deal. Zhou Yu said with a smile, very hearty, and he couldn't see reluctance at all.

Lu Su fully understands that his good friend is really a majestic person.

This rain saved Zhuge Liang's life. After TOEFL and others returned to Jiangdong, I would not be embarrassed to see Zhuge Ziyu. Lu Su muttered, and then asked Zhou Yu Zhengse: "Gongjin, how should I plan in the future?" What about Cao Cao? Cao Cao can't capture Anlu, what will happen? ”

"A rain ruined my plans, but it wasn't a big problem. As long as Guan Yu sits firmly in Xinye, it is impossible for Cao Jun to sit firmly in Jingzhou. I attacked the four counties of Jingnan, which is as stable as Mount Tai. As for Cao Jun. Zhou Yu thought for a while and sighed: "I'm not Cao Cao, I don't know how he will act." But if I were Cao Cao, I would definitely not attack Xinye and lose my troops. And if I am Cao Cao, with 200,000 horse infantry troops in my hands, I will not give up if I spend grain and grass to go south, and mobilize the people. ”

"But if Cao Cao can't break through Anlu, he can't break through Xinye. Cao Cao's army was kept out. Jingzhou will gradually stabilize people's hearts. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will inevitably continue to wait and see. ”

"Cao Cao, how will you decide?"

Zhou Yu put his hand on the table, patted the table lightly, then put his hands on his knees, stood up gently, paced left and right, and fell into deep thought.

"How about attacking Fan City?" Lu Su suddenly sat cross-legged, put his hands on his thighs, and said very improperly.

"Fancheng?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, turned to look at Lu Su, and said: "If Fancheng is breached, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will definitely be frightened and surrender to Juzhou." Cao Cao had many generals and 200,000 soldiers. It is also possible to divide troops to attack Fancheng, but Guan Yu has only 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers, and it is impossible to go out of the city to fight Cao Cao. If the tiger and leopard ride, they can take Guan Yu's life. ”

But speaking of this, Zhou Yu changed his words and said: "But the general's literary appointment is by no means good. Fancheng is strong, with 20,000 elite soldiers. ”

Lu Su stretched out three fingers of his right hand, then smiled shyly, withdrew one finger, exposed two fingers, and said, "Two points." One Cao army is brave and good at fighting, and 50,000 horse infantry soldiers are under the city of Anlu, and Zhuge Liang is out of breath. If it weren't for a rain, Zhuge Liang would have abandoned the city and fled. And Zhuge Liang also has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and many people are strong. ”

"If Cao's army storms Fancheng."

"Second, although Fancheng has 20,000 troops, they may not all be elite soldiers. Wen hired himself to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and the rest also had three leading generals. Of course, Wenpin is powerful, but what about the rest of the generals? If Cao's army stormed Fancheng, the rest of the generals would be terrified, and then so? It is necessary to know that the mountains and rivers are strong and not as good as people's hearts. After Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, and the young lord was suspicious, and the traitor was in charge. The generals may not risk their lives to help Cai Mao and Zhang Yun defend the city. ”

Zhou Yu understood, and he took out a map from the case. looked at Fancheng and looked at Xiangyang.

"If Cao Cao really invades Fancheng, then the Liu family is finished. Cao Cao will have the north of Jingzhou, and we will have the south of Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang kept Jiangxia, and Ding Feng had 5,000 sailors, so he would definitely not sit idly by. Boats and boats run rampant, harassing the county. The Guan family also has a navy in Fangling. In addition, the Fangling soldiers can also take the mountain road south to attack Zigui. And the hearts of the people in Jingzhou are unstable. Cao Cao was afraid that he would not be able to hold Jingzhou. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yu patted the map lightly.

If so, the Liu family will die.

Then the last three competed for Jingzhou.

"Please send 20,000 infantry troops, garrison Chaisang, and attack Changsha at any time. The infantry army attacked Changsha, and I attacked Jiangxia Xiling. The south bank of the Yangtze River will be owned by my Jiangdong. ”
