Chapter 72: Flooding Yan Liang (Part II)
Hu Tuo River, originating in Shanxi, flows southwest between Heng Mountain and Wutai Mountain, flows eastward to Jiehe, and joins Hebei Province and Fuyang River to form Ziya River, and then enters the sea. Historically, the name of the Hutuo River is changeable, the "Book of Rites" is called "Evil Pool" or "Huo Pond", "Zhou Li" is also called "Houchi", it was called "Hurong Water" during the Warring States Period, it was called "Houchi River" in the pre-Qin period, and it was called the current name of Hutuo River in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After the Hutuo River flows out of Shanxi, Wuji County is an area through which the Hutuo River flows.
Zhoujiazhuang, the valley in the south!
This place is the area where the Hutuo River flows. The terrain is high, the water is relatively fast, and the road below the mountain is passing. There are hundreds of soldiers in the valley, busy non-stop. A handsome young man in a white robe with a thin body is directing soldiers to intercept the river with sandbags. Rows of sandbags piled up, the river was blocked, and the water was getting higher and higher.
The young man is none other than Guo Jia, whose task is to build an embankment to block the river, and then wait for an opportunity to break the embankment and release the water.
Guo Jia glanced at the sun in the sky and asked, "Where is the lord?" ”
The tun chief in charge replied: "Back to the military division, the lord led the army to introduce Yan Liang into Zhoujiazhuang, and there is no news yet. ”
Guo Jia nodded and ordered, "Always pay attention to the situation." ”
"Yes!"
Tun Chang went down to get busy, while Guo Jia stared at the embankment in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked an arc.
This time, we will win.
Time passed, the sun was setting, and it was getting late. After the sun set, Guo Jia and Wang Lei didn't see any news, and they were a little anxious. He sent someone to inquire about the situation, and learned that Wang Lei and Yan Liang's army were facing each other across the riverbank, and there was no movement for the time being, so his heart stabilized, knowing that he had to wait for a while.
After nightfall, the autumn wind was cold, Guo Jia wore a big coat and closed his eyes in the valley to recuperate.
In the middle of the night, there was a sound of rustling.
Under the light of the fire, Wang Lei came back. Wang Lei came to Guo Jia's side and hurriedly said, "Fengxiao, all our soldiers have been evacuated under the mountain. Previously, Yan Liang and we were facing each other on both sides of the river, and if we left, Yan Liang would definitely chase across the river, and it would be difficult to achieve the best results. It's late at night, and his soldiers are sleeping, and it's dark, and he doesn't know if we evacuate quietly. Everything is ready to burst. ”
"Good!!"
Guo Jia smiled.
He waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Release the water!" ”
In an instant, the soldiers immediately burst the embankment.
In a matter of moments, the gathered water broke through the embankment. A rumbling sound came out, and the rolling river rushed out, heading straight for Yan Liang's army at the foot of the mountain. Yan Liang heard the river rushing and knew that he had been tricked. Without waiting for him and the soldiers under his command to react, the river arrived in an instant, and the big water rushed in, and Yan Liang was directly washed out by the river.
Wen Chou was in a hurry and hurriedly shouted, but he was also unable to protect himself, and was washed away by the water in an instant. The rest of the soldiers resting on the river beach were sleepy-eyed and had no time to react, and they were all flooded by the river.
The water flooded the river beach, the water was too rapid and too big, and the roads on both sides of the river beach were flooded.
Yan Liang commanded tens of thousands of troops, and the whole army was annihilated.
Small boats descended from the upper reaches and shot enemy soldiers who fell overboard, lighting torches. The killing lasted from late at night until dawn, and after dawn, the killing stopped at three poles of sunrise, and the captured soldiers were all under control.
The camp where the Chinese army was temporarily stationed, the big tent of the Chinese army.
Wang Lei and his generals gathered, and everyone smiled.
With dark circles under his eyes, he reported: "My lord, this battle was engaged, two thousand and a half enemies were killed, four thousand and six were captured, and more than 3,000 people fled and failed to take it. This battle was a complete victory. ”
"Good!"
Wang Lei stroked his palms and said with a smile: "This battle won a complete victory, and it all depended on Fengxiao's planning. If there is no Fengxiao to give advice, we can only fight hard with Yan Liang, and the victory or defeat is unknown. ”
Yu Poison nodded and said: "The strategy of the military advisor is breathtaking!" ”
Guo Jia shook his head lightly, very modest.
Wang Lei rolled his eyes and asked, "Yan Liang and Wen Chou were defeated, did these two catch them?" Wang Lei also appreciated Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Although the martial arts of the two are not the top, there is no doubt that they can serve as fierce generals in the battle.
Dian Wei shook his head lightly and sighed: "Lord, when the soldiers checked the prisoners, they only found Yan Liang, not Wen Chou. It is possible to escape, or it is possible to drown......"
"Bring it on!"
Wang Lei is not disappointed, and it is a blessing to be able to catch one.
The order was given, and the soldiers immediately brought the people up.
Not long after, Yan Liang was tied up and taken to the Chinese army's tent. He stood in the tent with his head held high and his waist straight. Even though the soldier pressed Yan Liang's shoulders and wanted Yan Liang to kneel, Yan Liang would rather not kneel. Seeing that the soldiers were about to move, Wang Lei waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and said with a smile: "General Yan, we meet again." ”
"Hmph~~"
Yan Liang snorted, his eyes full of disdain.
Yan Liang's expression angered Dian Wei, he stood up, but listened to Wang Lei: "Sit down!" ”
Dian Wei was unwilling to sit down, staring at Yan Liang with wide eyes, with strong murderous intent. As if he hadn't seen it, Yan Liang looked up and looked around, but he didn't want to look at Wang Lei.
Wang Lei looked calm and said, "General Yan, you ......"
As soon as the words came out, Yan Liang interrupted: "Wang Lei, if you want me to surrender, it is absolutely impossible. What you answered me at the beginning, I will answer you now. If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”
Wang Lei choked and looked embarrassed.
Dian Wei said impatiently: "Lord, if this kid doesn't surrender, kill it." ”
"Come on!"
Yan Liang stiffened his neck, justifiably arrogant.
Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring General Yan down, serve him well, don't be disdainful." The soldier took Yan Liang down again, Wang Lei saw that Guo Jia was at ease, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, what is the best plan to take down Yan Liang?" ”
Guo Jia replied: "The lord wants to subdue Yan Liang, it is actually very simple. A person like Yan Liang has a simple brain, and it is difficult to change his mind to be loyal to Yuan Shao, and the only way to surrender is to drive him into a desperate situation and force him to surrender. The lord can send someone to Nanpi County to pick up Yan Liang's family and promote Yan Liang's return. In this way, Yan Liang has to surrender if he does not surrender. ”
"Wonderful!"
Wang Lei's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.
Dian Wei muttered in his heart, the reader is too bad, and his stomach is full of bad water. Yan Liang is also a hard bone, but he was calculated by Guo Jia, and when the time comes, he can't be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River, so he can only return to obedience.
Yu Poison and Zhenggu's eyes flashed with little stars, full of admiration.
Guo Jia chuckled and said, "My lord, what you have to think about now is to report the results of the battle in Wuji County and deal with the prisoners. The 5,000 captives are 5,000 mouths, which is a great burden! ”
After Wang Lei heard this, he suddenly had a bitter face.
With the ability of Wuji County, if you want to feed five thousand captives, this is a big problem!
