Fangzhong County, about 60 miles north of the west of Gongxian County, is also a city on the north bank of the Hun River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Moreover, it is also the territory of Chu that Zhao Hongrun originally planned to attack.

To be precise, not only Fang Zhong, but also in the north of the Chu State, from the fiefdom of Guling Jun Xiongwu in the west to a large area north of the Hu River in the east of Hao County, are all the offensive areas that Zhao Hongrun has calculated in his heart.

In fact, the 50,000 northern Sichuan archers and thousands of horse marchers who went out to Shangshui County were already fulfilling this order.

This is under the grand strategy of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and Zhao Hongrun's own small strategy.

The reason for this arrangement was that Zhao Hongrun wanted to control the Hun River and wanted to use the flow of the Hun River to transport the huge number of Chu people who had been swept away from the Chu State.

I remember that at the beginning, Zhao Hongrun considered Suishui-Suixi, that is, the river that passed through Suiyang, so he decided to use Xiangcheng as a transit point for the people of Chu State.

But then I thought about it carefully, because of the relationship between Nangong, Suishui has a shallow draft of the river, which is not conducive to boating, so Zhao Hongrun chose the waterway of Shangshui-Huhe River.

After all, the Huhe River is a stream of water in front of the house of the king of Chu, Du Shouying, and there was once a naval army stationed, and the draft situation is far better than Suishui, and the only problem is that if you want to control the Hun River, you must attack the feudal towns of Guling Jun Xiongwu and other large areas of Chu territory.

I have to say that this is a very difficult matter, however, because at present, the state of Chu is focusing most of its energy on guarding the side of the royal capital Shouying, so that many troops in the state of Chu are concentrated in the royal capital, which makes the garrison in some places weak, therefore, this small abacus in Zhao Hongrun's heart is not without the slightest chance to achieve.

For example, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, finally trained 100,000 new troops after the defeat, but this time he pulled this army to Chudong's side, if it weren't for the fact that this Fengyi had been swept away by Zhao Hongrun once, and now he is poor and white, Zhao Hongrun wouldn't mind going back to his almost undefended fiefdom.

But what I didn't expect was that Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State who was stationed in Fulisai a while ago, didn't know what he thought when he withdrew to the vicinity of the Huhe River, and let Tian Tan, the old enemy of the Chu State, not deal with it, and actually settled in Fangzhong County, about sixty miles west of Hao County, as if he was going to target the Wei army, which made Zhao Hongrun upset for a while.

However, Zhao Hongrun can only endure this, after all, Xiang Mo, the general of Chu with an army of 500,000, he can't afford to provoke.

Fortunately, Xiang Mo had no food and could not protect himself, so Zhao Hongrun asked Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army, to resist Xiang Mo, and he didn't want to provoke or deal with Xiang Mo anymore.

However, what he didn't expect was that a few days later, Xiang Mo did another thing, which made the situation of the Wei army extremely worrying - this person built a dam in the upper reaches of the Huhe River to block the water potential, so that the Wei army in Xuxian County suddenly lost the danger of the Huhe River, which was the advantage of blocking the army under the command of Guling Jun Xiongwu.

What can I do?

Zhao Hongrun thought worriedly.

In all fairness, even if the 80,000 troops under the command of Guling Jun Xiong Wu really crossed the Hun River, as far as Gongxian County is concerned, Zhao Hongrun is not afraid, after all, under the hard work of Lu craftsmen such as the public loss class, Gongxian County has become an extremely difficult fortress to overcome, even if Zhao Hongrun only has more than 10,000 troops under his hands, but if he wants to defend it for thirty or forty days, it is not a problem.

The problem lies with the Fen Army.

You must know that the Fencheng army is currently shouldering the arduous task of resisting the 500,000 army at the end of the Xiang Dynasty, and it is barely supporting, if the army of Guling Jun Xiongwu is allowed to come to the north bank of the Hun River at this time, this prince of Chu will inevitably be angry with the Fencheng army in the case of an unsuccessful attack on Gongxian County, so as to flank the latter with Xiang Mo on both sides.

In this case, even if it is the Fencheng army, it will not be able to resist, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out here, and once the Fencheng army is completely annihilated, how can the Wei army of Xuanxian on Zhao Hongrun's side resist the joint offensive of Xiang Mo and Guling Jun Xiongwu?

And once Zhao Hongrun's Wei army in Hexian County was defeated, and Haoxian County was captured by the Chu army, and the back road between the Yanling army and the Shangshui army was cut off, even if they now adopted guerrilla tactics, they could not support it for a few days, and by the first snow of winter at the latest, these two armies that had lost their logistics and transportation were bound to be wiped out.

In other words, the Wei army on the Western Road was completely annihilated.

Regardless of the impact such an outcome would have on the overall strategy of Qi King Lu Xi for the time being, Zhao Hongrun alone could not accept such an outcome.

Therefore, he sent the crows to find out the location of the dam built by Xiang Mo, and prepared to attack and destroy it.

I have to say that the efficiency of the green crows is indeed high, and within two days, they found out the specific location of the Fangzhong Dam, and also found out the distribution of the local Chu army.

As Zhao Hongrun expected, Xiang Mo deployed heavy troops near the dam, and the 50,000-person military camp for one battalion actually built four of them, which was really a heavy blow to Zhao Hongrun.

Looking at the map marked with the distribution of Xiang Mo's army, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but let out a long breath.

So far, even he can't guess whether Xiang Mo used that dam as bait to lure him Wei Jun to take the bait.

But even if he knew that it was a plan, Zhao Hongrun, who was currently in a passive position, could only obediently comply.

Therefore, he summoned his generals and all the guards to the commander's office, and prepared to send a strange army to destroy the dam built by Xiang Mo.

And at this moment, Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng army, sent someone to deliver a letter.

Holding the letter in his hand, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun's face was not good, after all, he was very worried that this letter would be another bad news.

However, it turned out that he was worried about the sky this time, Xu Yin's letter was just a very ordinary letter, to the effect that he would report peace to Zhao Hongrun.

It turned out that a few days ago, Zhao Hongrun had been worried about the situation on the side of the Fencheng army, and almost every day he had to send two or three people to inquire about the specific battle situation, even if it was Xu Yin, he also felt a little annoyed, so the latter wrote this letter, in which he euphemistically said to Zhao Hongrun: Please Zhao Hongrun trust him, don't interfere in the war situation on his side anymore. If the war situation on his side is unfavorable, he will send a letter asking for help.

Xu Yin's vague and euphemistic blame made Zhao Hongrun slightly embarrassed.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun sometimes feels that he is very tired of living, but he has no idea, who makes his desire to control so strong, and he is used to holding everything in his hands?

However, it is worth mentioning that Xu Yin's sentence in the letter made Zhao Hongrun vaguely feel that something was not quite right.

Because Xu Yin wrote in the letter: Recently, the autumn rain has continued, and Fang Zhongxiang's army has hardly attacked us, please rest assured.

……

Looking at this line of words, Zhao Hongrun's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this time, everyone in the room didn't know what Zhao Hongrun was thinking at the moment, such as Zongwei Zhou Pu, only to see him stretch out his hand and clench his fists, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, without further ado, immediately send troops to destroy the dam built by Xiang Mo." …… At present, the water level of the Huhe River is not obvious, and most of Guling Jun Xiongwu is not aware of it, if it is delayed for a few days, it will be difficult to say. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness, the survival of our army is a matter of death, please be sure to hand over this matter to the lowly position, and the two of them will definitely be able to destroy the dam if they go to Chu Heng." ”

From the side, Wei Jiao nodded secretly when he heard this, after all, Zhou Pu's mind was one of the best among their sect guards, plus Chu Heng, the bravest of their sect guards, it was not possible to successfully destroy the dam under the heavy guard of the Chu army.

But for some reason, Zhao Hongrun just stared at the letter in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone in the room looked at each other, and some doubts rose in their hearts: Could it be that General Xu Yin wrote something urgent military information in the letter?

Out of confusion, Zong Wei Changwei glanced at the letter in Zhao Hongrun's hand, but what made him wonder was that the content of this letter was obviously very ordinary, and there was nothing worth pondering.

"Your Highness?" Wei Jiao called tentatively and softly.

"Hmm......" Zhao Hongrun nodded, let out a long breath, and gradually came back to his senses from his contemplation, only to see him glance at Zhou Pu, wave his hand and say, "This is not in a hurry in advance." ”

After speaking, a few doubts flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Recently...... Is it raining? ”

Rain?

Everyone in the room couldn't help but look at each other again, not understanding what His Royal Highness King Su was thinking in front of him.

During this period, Zong Wei Mu Qing was the most direct, only to see a bad laugh, got up and walked to the window, pushed the window open, and suddenly, the sound of rain outside the house immediately became a little louder.

Glancing at Mu Qing, who was secretly snickering, Zhao Hongrun asked again, "How many times have you been in the last place?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Qing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you should ask, has there been any day when it hasn't rained recently...... Well, if you do the math, it seems that only the day Guling Jun Xiongwu first arrived on the other side of the river did not rain. …… Your Highness, what's wrong with you, you've never forgotten it. ”

Zhao Hongrun didn't speak, just searched for relevant memories in his mind.

As Mu Qing said, the recent rainfall is really frequent, and it's no wonder, after all, it's autumn rain.

Because it is a matter of course, Zhao Hongrun didn't care about the recent rain a few days ago, but when he thinks about it now, he feels a little wrong.

It is important to know that autumn rainfall is frequent, so it is easy to cause floods, which is also known as autumn floods.

At this time, the end of the item to build a dam to surround the fish?

Moreover, Xiang Mo didn't go to other places when he retreated, but came to Fang Zhong, and Zhao Hongrun thought that Xiang Mo was planning to target his Wei army.

But now I have a different way of thinking, this house is located in the upper reaches of the Huhe River.

That is to say, Xiang Mo is in the upper reaches of the Huhe River, while Zhao Hongrun, Qi Wang Lu Xi, and Tian Tan are all downstream......

At this time, Xiang Mo built a dam in the upper reaches of the Huhe River......

Continuous autumn rain......

Autumn Flood ......

For a while, Zhao Hongrun only felt a chill in his back.

He immediately summoned the crows and said to the latter in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Go and check to see if the end of the project is secretly building a warship, and if it is verified, report it immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The ravens retreated with their fists clenched.

At this moment, under the suspicious gaze of everyone in the house, Zhao Hongrun faintly felt a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

That Xiang Mo was not creating an advantage for the Chu army on other roads at all, he was most likely creating opportunities for himself.

And, this man's appetite is enormous.
