Chapter 36: The two generals compete
Under the arrangement of Huang Zu and Liu Pan, tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers began to get busy.
The yang water is not too deep, not counting those dark pits, ramps, and the deep water area of the yang water only reaches the chest position, so it is not so difficult to block the river with the efforts of tens of thousands of people.
Of course, because of the reason for the rapid storage of water, the focus of Jingzhou soldiers was on water diversion.
Sun Ce was naturally clear about the changes outside the city, but he was not too anxious, because he believed that Yu Yunwen outside the city would give him a surprise.
……
"Lord!"
At this time, a man about thirty years old came into Sun Ce's sight.
"It's Mao Gong!"
A smile appeared on Sun Ce's face, the person who came was Li Tao, and after summoning Li Tao, Sun Ce couldn't wait to see Li Tao.
Under Sun Ce's intentional reminder, Sun Ce saw Li Tao, and when he saw Li Tao, Sun Ce was naturally overjoyed.
followed a free conversation, compared with Fang Xuanling, Jia Xu, Sun Ce benefited more from chatting with Li Tao.
Fang Xuanling, Jia Xu and Sun Ce talked about the situation in the world and the future pattern, and taught strategic goals, Li Tao also said strategic goals, but he said them in more detail, and taught Sun Ce the art of war and the art of war.
If Fang Xuanling and Jia Xu are arguing with Sun Ce, then Li Tao is arguing with Sun Ce.
At present, Sun Ce is more of a military general and a commander, so he has gained more benefits from his conversation with Li Tao.
"Lord, the people of Jingzhou have begun to block the river."
Li Tao looked worried.
"So fast?"
Sun Ce was a little surprised, it had only been three days since Jingzhou started to act, and Yangshui was six miles away from Danyang City in a straight line, even if tens of thousands of people acted together, Sun Ce felt that it should not be so fast.
"Because they haven't dug a complete river channel, but judging from the channel they dug out, they can bring the water of Yangshui to my Danyang City."
Li Tao explained.
"In this way, it will only take three more days for Huang Zu to start the plan to flood Danyang."
Sun Ce frowned slightly, from the time the Jingzhou soldiers began to dig drainage ditches, Sun Ce, Li Tao and others guessed Huang Zu's plan.
But after learning about the other party's progress, no matter how calm Sun Ce was, he couldn't calm down, and the most important thing was that Yu Yunwen and they didn't react until now, which made Sun Ce a little nervous.
"Do you think our army can go out of the city and ruin their plans?"
Sun Ce asked.
"Why do you think they chose this flood plan?"
Li Tao asked with a smile,
"Naturally, it is to capture my Danyang, kill my Sun Ce, and destroy my Sun clan."
Sun Ce replied calmly.
"Then why didn't they choose to attack the city directly, they had to do this angry and resentful plan, you must know that Liu Biao has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, but now his subordinates use floods to deal with innocent people, I'm afraid Liu Biao's reputation will be ruined!"
Li Tao said with a smile.
"Mao Gong means ......"
Sun Ce seems to have gained something.
"They don't dare to attack the city, and they have no other strategy to do, so they have this, flooding is not what they want, they prefer to fight with our army outside the city, so they will definitely ambush near Yangshui, if our army goes, it will be in their arms."
Li Tao said solemnly.
"In this way, wouldn't Yu Bin and them be in danger!"
Sun Ce's face changed suddenly.
"Why is the lord less confident than his subordinates, the lord values Lord Yu, I think Lord Yu must have something outstanding, the lord should believe that he is, if I am Lord Yu, I will lead the army to attack the enemy camp."
Li Tao was extremely calm, and comforted Sun Ce with a smile.
"That's right!"
Thinking of Yu Yunwen's talent, Sun Ce was relieved, but although Yu Yunwen has this ability, it doesn't mean that others have.
……
"Lord Yu, now that the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou are gathered in the land of Yangshui, I am afraid that they plan to use the water of the Yanghe River to flood our Danyang, and I think that our army should take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy's plan."
Shan Xiongxin said in a deep voice, it has been a while since they led the troops out of the city alone, but during this time, Yu Yunwen has not moved, which makes Shan Xiongxin more and more dissatisfied with Yu Yunwen.
"General Shan, Yangshui can't go!"
Yu Yunwen shook his head and said solemnly.
"Why can't you go?"
Shan Xiongxin's face instantly became gloomy.
"There are definitely tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou ambushed around Yangshui, and if you go, you will definitely be in a trap."
Yu Yunwen said solemnly.
"Then do you mean to watch the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou dig up the river bank and let the river water pour into Danyang City?"
Shan Xiongxin's face turned angry.
"Naturally not, General Shan can know the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao."
Yu Yunwen saw Shan Xiongxin's anger, so he told his inner plan.
"Surround Wei to save Zhao, how should you surround Wei to save Zhao!"
After hearing Yu Yunwen's words, Shan Xiongxin's face softened a little.
"Now that the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou are gathered near Yangshui, the Jingzhou camp will inevitably be empty, if we sneak attack its camp at this time and destroy its grain and grass, we will definitely be able to hit them hard and break its momentum, so that the Jingzhou army will be self-defeating."
Yu Yunwen said confidently, but he thought he had a full plan, but he was opposed by Shan Xiongxin.
"Jingzhou battalion, Huang Zu, Liu Pan is a fool, how can the battalion be ungarrisoned, a certain look at the attack on the battalion is to go and have no return, there is still a chance to break through the attack on Yangshui, but if you fall into the enemy camp, how can there be a chance to break through."
Shan Xiongxin sneered, in fact, if Shan Xiongxin calmed down and thought about it carefully, he would still be able to understand what Yu Yunwen meant, but his preconceived notions made him extremely unhappy with Yu Yunwen, so his heart was unwilling to agree with Yu Yunwen's plan.
"General Shan, you should know the reputation of Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, Huang Zu and others are obviously forced to attack the city by flooding, but since they have come to this point, they will not let it fail, Yu can be sure that more than eighty percent of Jingzhou's people and horses must have gathered near Yangshui, and going to Yangshui is no different from sending them to death! General Shan, don't attack Yangshui! ”
Yu Yunwen hurriedly persuaded Shan Xiongxin.
"Hmph, it's ridiculous, since you don't want to go, then so-and-so will lead the troops there,"
Shan Xiongxin didn't want to listen to Yu Yunwen's explanation and persuasion at all, and after finishing speaking, Shan Xiongxin walked out.
"General Shan, can't!"
Yu Yunwen hurriedly stopped Shan Xiongxin.
"Get out of the way!"
Shan Xiongxin pushed Yu Yunwen away.
Shan Xiongxin is a quasi-first-class fierce general, and when he dialed it, Yu Yunwen was directly pushed away, and he stumbled and almost fell.
"It's a shame that a military general is so vulnerable!"
After setting aside Yu Yunwen, Shan Xiongxin also mocked Yu Yunwen.
"Shan Xiongxin, a certain is the main general, and a certain order you must not act without authorization."
Yu Yunwen shouted angrily.
"You are the main general, who else in this military camp knows that you are the main general."
Shan Xiongxin sneered, this was Sun Ce's miscalculation, he would never have thought that Shan Xiongxin would reject Yu Yunwen so much, go against Yu Yunwen, and mobilize troops and horses without authorization.
"Shan Xiongxin!"
Yu Yunwen was very helpless.
