Xu Mad said: "It's just right to call, set traps along the way when digging the soil, the general sent troops to ambush, if the enemy comes to attack, the general can lead the troops to capture it, not to mention, we have conquered several cities in a row, the defender of Linyi City is called Li Wu, I read his resume when I was the chief bookkeeper of the military department, he did not enter the court as a general through martial arts, his father is the veteran Li You who followed the King of Qi to fight the world, this Li You died, Li Wu took over as the defender of Linyi City, this person is suspicious and deceitful, such a temperament I expect him not to dare to go out of the city, The general can rest assured that the sappers will be sent to work, and the rain will come tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, and tomorrow at the latest! Please don't delay the fighter, general! ”

Shangguan Zimo doesn't know why Xu Mad is so determined, but the way of using soldiers is not child's play, not to mention that he is a guest, just listen to what he says, if it is a reasonable suggestion, he will be happy to accept it, but if it is exaggerated and grandstanding, sorry, Shangguan Zimo is not a martial artist, he can lead the troops from Jinling all the way to Xuzhou, and it is not a good stubble!

I saw him say: "Mr. Xu, I will consider what you said, but the matter of bypassing Xuzhou City to store water upstream seems unreliable, what do you mean...... Let's use the embankment as a cover to lure the enemy out of the station? That's possible! If the embankment bursts and floods the city...... It seems somewhat unrealistic, IMHO, it's simply impossible! ”

"It's impossible, but what if it rains in two days?"

Xu Mad squinted his eyes at the sand table, picked up the water cup and poured it from top to bottom, the water flowed along the ravine to the model of Xuzhou City, and the surrounding sand and soil were all eroded, but it seemed fundamentally unreliable to hand it all over to God!

However, Shangguan Zimo stood up and asked, "It's raining?" Now that it's August, if you want to say that rain is also possible, but can the drizzle really cause the water dragon to swallow Xuzhou City like you said? ”

"I'm sure I'll win!"

Xu Mad said: "The so-called clouds from the dragon, the wind from the tiger, and see the sky on the edge of the clouds and mountains are lined up with a great tendency to collapse, I just went around and repeatedly confirmed one thing, tomorrow night will definitely blow the north wind, we have to take advantage of the rain to prepare the bamboo raft to cross the river and even the sandbags for water storage is a big project, so the situation please don't be confused, when the time to prepare is!" ”

Shangguan Zimo pondered for a moment, but he had some doubts about this matter in his heart, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, and broke the embankment in Xiapi to flood the city, that was because it coincided with the rainy season, the water level was already rising, and they set out from Yingchuan to fight Xuzhou and occupied the city upstream, so this plan could be implemented, as for what Xu Mad said was too mysterious, he felt that it was the right way to lure the enemy out of the station by breaking the embankment, not to mention, he had another purpose in fighting the Qi country, that is, Shangguan Ziying gave him a secret letter saying that he would take down the port of Qi no matter what. The envoys of the Yue Kingdom have negotiated with Goguryeo, and their fleet will set off from the mainland, first transporting a batch of grain and warships to Rizhao, about ten days, only a little time, Shangguan Ziying's advice is to preserve the strength and lay Rizhao, and then. In fact, it is really of little significance to Shangguan Zimo to fight Linyi or not, but if they are not afraid, if they are cut off by them on the way to Rizhao, then the 30,000 troops in Xuzhou are almost no different from the annihilation of the whole army!

However, these Xu Mad naturally didn't know, and seeing that Shangguan Zimo was still a little hesitant, he said: "In fact, the art of war can't follow the rules, so what are the strengths of their sages in using soldiers?" There is not even a decent book of war, but even so the famous generals of the pre-Qin period are still shining on the road to conquer the world, in my opinion, now Linyi City is a gift from God to the general's work, the so-called heaven does not take, but suffers from it, if the general is dragging it down, I am afraid that my lord's life is in danger, and the general came from Xuzhou from afar, which is not conducive to a long war, if the Qi State reacts and sends reinforcements, what should the general do at that time? ”

"You mean you have to fight?"

"That's right!"

Xu Qiyi insisted, adding that he still had to carry out Shangguan Ziying's secret order, thinking that if he failed to conquer Linyi, it might affect the Goguryeo fleet ten days later, so he said: "Okay, two days is two days, I want to see what skills you have to make your sister so respectful!" ”

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Mad finally let go of his hanging heart, and then Shangguan Zimo ordered the deputy general to lead a thousand soldiers to the Luoshi Gorge in the upper reaches of the Linyi River to block the river and cut off the river, and ordered a thousand soldiers to cut wood between the mountains and forests to use as a raft, and ordered five thousand soldiers and horses to ambush between the surrounding mountains and forests. 360 Literature Network

It's nightfall......

Sure enough, there was a wind blowing outside, and Shangguan Zimo's hanging heart finally let go, but in Linyi City, the guard general Li Wu got a tip, saying that it was a small group of enemy troops digging water in Luoshi Valley to cut off the Linyi River, and it seemed that they wanted to attack the river, so they called the generals to start discussing the situation, only to see him say: "Everyone, the Yue country is menacing, and wants to break the embankment to attack Linyi City, and now the messenger sent to ask for help has not returned for a long time, how should we deal with it?" ”

A strategist said: "General Qiyu, I think that it is the best policy to stick to it, Linyi City is on higher ground, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, that Shangguan Zimo is just a few zhang of small victories before, we don't have to worry, its occupation of Xuzhou is reluctant, and now it is pouring out to attack my Lanling all the way north, this is simply going against the sky, not to mention, our city is strong, how can it be shaken by a few ants?" In my opinion, this is just a trick by Shangguan Zimo to lure us out of the station! ”

"Yes, General Ben thinks so too!"

Li Wu said approvingly: "Let them decide, send orders to the whole army, hold on, send a small group of scouts to investigate strictly, see if there is a large-scale movement of the men and horses in their own formation, report every two hours, and quickly go and prepare!" ”

As a result, the army of Linyi City almost regarded the Yue army as a joke, and even many Yue soldiers began to puzzle Xu Qi's strategy, they dug for a day and a night and also complained, although they did not understand the meaning of the military order, they also had no way, during the ambush in the shadows repelled a harassment team of hundreds of people, it can be seen that the defenders of Linyi City tested each other against the Yue army, but such a small-scale battle, there is no need to take it to heart, Just when everyone thought that everything was safe, the next evening, before night, the sky was covered with dark clouds in an instant, and the surrounding wind was like the sound of the wind, and the rain was like a divine soldier from the sky pouring every inch of land near Linyi, Shangguan Zimo looked at Xu Mad at this time, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, but Xu Mad didn't pay attention, but reached out at the door of the camp to take a handful of showers outside, and sighed: "It's still a miscalculation, it's so late!" ”

Shangguan Zimo said at this time: "Mr. Xu, since the rain is coming, why don't I break the embankment and start a war with the Qi army?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Xu Mad said: "It's just that the Linyi River will be cut off for a day, and the gathered water is not enough to break through the city gate, let the rain fall first, and when the rain stops, we are playing a big game for them!" ”

"It's not the same as it was promised!"

Shangguan Zimo was still thinking about Rizhao Port in his heart, he definitely couldn't waste time here, so he said to Xu Yan: "Who knows how long this rain will last?" If we want to go for the next seven or eight days, can we still go? Not to mention that I still have to ...... Hey, forget it! Wait, wait, wait! ”

It can be seen that Shangguan Zimo is a tangled person, but what he forgot is that if he goes on the road and encounters rain in the middle of the road, won't he still be able to move an inch? It was precisely because he thought about this clearly that he had no choice but to let Xu Mad do it-

At this moment in Linyi City, Li Wu looked at the rain outside, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he immediately asked someone to strengthen the city wall and the fortifications of the city gate, but unfortunately, when it rains, you can't do such a simple thing as building the bricks of the city gate, because ...... You don't have lime mortar (cement in antiquity)
