Chapter 673: The Battle of Breaking Xiangyang (2)
"I want to send someone to infiltrate Xiangyang, and the inside and the outside should be together."
Liu Wei didn't hide it, he just looked at Zhuge Liang and said.
"Although this plan is good, the difficulty lies in how to sneak into Xiangyang." Zhuge Liang said after listening to Liu Wei's words.
In the past few days, Xiangyang has been besieged, even if he deliberately retreated dozens of miles again, so that the people of Xiangyang City could enter and exit.
However, Yang Xiu still closed the city gate and did not let the people come out at all, so it was impossible to fish in troubled waters and blend in.
"Could it be that Your Majesty already has a way to sneak in?" Soon Zhuge Liang seemed to understand.
It is impossible for Liu Wei not to know the difficulty of sneaking in, he came here today, presumably there is a way.
"This Xiangyang city has deep walls, but it is also close to the Xiangjiang River, even if you are prepared, this Xiangyang will inevitably have a set of internal and external drainage systems." Liu Wei looked at Zhuge Liang and said.
According to what I learned from later books, the drainage system of the ancient city was very perfect.
It can even be said that the ancient drainage system is even more powerful than that of modern cities, such as Ganzhou, ancient Chang'an, Bianjing, Yuan Dadu, and Nanjing.
After all, modern cities are densely populated and use more water, while the ancient drainage system is more about preventing heavy rains and dredging floods.
Moreover, the drainage system in ancient times was generally divided into two systems: internal and external.
Because in addition to draining water, the ancients would also use this rainwater to introduce it into the city's rivers and make it usable water.
And because of this, the drain of the ancient drainage system was not small.
"Your Majesty means to let the soldiers get in through the drainage of Xiangyang City?"
Of course, Zhuge Liang's wisdom quickly reflected what Liu Wei meant.
He just never thought of it.
"Yes, take advantage of the night to enter from the inside, and then you can meet the inside and the outside and catch him off guard."
Liu Wei looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded and said, he hadn't thought about it before, but this time, thanks to Lu Qiling's reminder.
In ancient times, drainage was used in canals, and this is mainly an internal circulation system canal, not to mention that it has no sewers, even if there is, it has to be drilled today.
Therefore, it is enough for the soldiers to pass through the part of the city wall.
"But Your Majesty, this Xiangyang River, its drainage area will inevitably be larger than usual, and it is not difficult to accommodate people."
"However, this plan is also very dangerous, once it is discovered, I am afraid that there will be no return." Zhuge Liang said with a frown.
Liu Wei nodded, he knew this, no matter how big it was, the drainage ditch in Xiangyang would allow at most one person to pass through, and if you wanted to, you had to queue up.
If it is discovered, as long as there are people at the exit, let alone thousands, ten people can defend it.
So he is gambling, what is he betting, is betting that Yang Xiu can't think of it.
At this point, it can even be said to be similar to Wei Yan's Meridian Valley conspiracy.
If you win the bet and win Xiangyang City, and if you lose the bet, then the people sent in will die half, even if they don't all die.
"Your Majesty's plan, not according to common sense, although strange, but also dangerous, or convene the generals to discuss."
Zhuge Liang was also a little uncertain in the end, he didn't like to take too risks, although Liu Wei kept advising him not to be too cautious.
But a person's personality is not said to be able to change, if you attack, it's a big deal to lose some of your lifespan, and use magic to help it.
In this way, at most, it is to exchange one's own life for those people.
Soon Liu Wei summoned Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.
After listening to Liu Wei's plan, they were also surprised.
Because this drainage system, especially the internal and external system of flood discharge, who would have thought of it except when it was going to be used.
"Your Majesty, when the last general took Xu'er to see a doctor before, he once lived in Xiangyang, although he can enter people, I am afraid that he is too bulky with armor." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Wei and said.
"Yes, so if you want to use this method, the soldier can't wear armor."
And wearing armor, even if you barely pass it, the sound of the collision will be a very big hidden danger.
This strategy is a gamble on life, so there must not be any negligence.
"It's really a life and a dead life." Tai Shici couldn't help but marvel.
You can't even wear armor, which means that your defense is very poor.
"Yes, so the one who enters the city this time must be elite, and after entering the city, quickly open the city gate." Liu Wei glanced at Tai Shici and said.
If it is not an elite soldier, even if it enters the city, it may not be able to resist, after all, without armor, the combat effectiveness will naturally be reduced.
"If this plan is successful, this year, all the generals can spend time in Xiangyang City, otherwise they are afraid that they will go back in disgrace."
Liu Wei can feel that this is the only chance, otherwise he will have to fight hard to win, and the time is also urgent.
"Your Majesty, Liang is willing to do..."
Liu Wei immediately raised his hand to signal that Zhuge Liang didn't need to say any more.
"If this plan is feasible, who will want to go to it, when Xiangyang is broken, it will be the first contribution."
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go, and the last general has lived in Xiangyang, so I am familiar with it." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Wei and said.
"Okay, I will give you two days to prepare, from this tens of thousands of troops, select two thousand elites, enter through the four city gates, and I will echo outside the city."
Liu Wei immediately ordered, and the rest of the people wanted to say something, but they were stopped by him.
There is no way to do this, if you don't do this, take Xiangyang, and more than a few thousand people will die.
After everyone left, Liu Wei stopped Huang Zhong.
"What else does Your Majesty command?" Huang Zhong looked at Liu Wei and said.
"Han Sheng, this is the ninety-first life, you must come back safely."
Liu Wei knew that he shouldn't have said this, but he still couldn't help it.
"The last will understand." Of course, Huang Zhong also knew that the situation was dangerous, and he also knew that this was an opportunity worth taking.
After Liu Wei gave the order, everything else was normal except for the selection of elites.
Dian Wei still brought water and dry food every day, and then scolded the city.
But obviously, after scolding for so many days, they also feel a little bored.
However, this made Cao Ren and the others happy, because they believed and believed that Liu Wei was really helpless.
"Sir, this is about to come to the end of the year, I'm afraid that this Han army will pass in the big camp outside the city."
Cao Ren looked at Yang Xiu and said with a smile, since the defeat of Xinye, he had never been so happy as now.
The army led by Liu Wei has been pressed on his head all along, Yu Ban also died in Xinye, and Sima Yi's whereabouts are unknown.
During this time, the eighteen generations of ancestors were dug up and scolded, and it took turns to scold, and it was time and time again.
"Don't be careless, you still need to be good at defense, I don't care where the Han army will spend the New Year."
Yang Xiu glanced at Cao Ren and then said lightly, if it is really to let the Han army enter Xiangyang City.
At that time, the Han army will be able to survive the New Year, but I am afraid that I will not even have my life.
"Remember, don't slack off, defend the city, strictly prevent the Han army from sneaking attacks, and pay attention to movements inside and outside the city."
Yang Xiu looked at Cao Ren and said, I don't know why he suddenly had a bad premonition, but he couldn't say it.
Maybe I'm too worried, but I can't be less prepared.
"Yes." Cao Ren immediately nodded and said.
Two days passed quickly, and Sima Yi had also completed the marriage.
"I can't stay here anymore." Sima Yi looked at Zhang Chunhua and said.
Originally, he was going to stay for three days, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
The New Year is coming to an end, and if Liu Wei is bound to win Xiangyang, then he will definitely be ahead of the New Year.
Otherwise, not only will Liu Wei have no chance, but in the New Year's War, the people will hate him at that time.
But if it was a strong attack, there was no news yet, and there was no movement.
There is no news, so it means that Liu Wei may have moved.
At this time, if Liu Wei can still feel at ease, unless he doesn't want Xiangyang.
But is it possible? Obviously this can't be.
So I had to go back early and go back to Xiangyang.
"Okay." Zhang Chunhua nodded and responded, "Then I'll go and prepare, take the escort and set off." ”
"Seek it, get it."
"If you want it, you can get it."
Looking at the direction of Xiangyang, Sima Yi said slowly.
