Chapter 710: Ji Run and Xiang Mo (2)
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Hongrun, who had been waiting for news all night, finally got the news from the green crows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As Zhao Hongrun had guessed, Xiang ordered his men to cut down trees on a large scale, as if to build dams, but in fact, a lot of timber was transported to some hidden place to build warships.
After listening to the return of the green crows, Zhao Hongrun took a long breath and praised sincerely: "This item is ...... It's scary. β
At this moment in the house, Zong Wei Weijiao, Lu Mu, Zhou Pu, Mu Qing, and Chu Heng were all there, seeing Zhao Hongrun's sincere admiration for Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State, Lu Mu asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, Xiang Mo is building ships at this time, isn't there any deep meaning?" β
I saw Zhao Hongrun take a deep breath and said slowly: "We all guessed wrong, we thought that Xiang Mo built a dam to catch fish in the Huhe River......"
"Isn't it?" Zong Wei Changwei asked suspiciously: "The Green Crows saw Xiang Mojun fishing in the Hun River with their own eyes......
"That's a trick used by Xiang Mo to hide people's eyes and ears." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said, "Think about it carefully, Xiang Mo has an army of 500,000 under his command, how can he feed such a huge army just by fishing from the Hun River?" If he did this, I believe that within this month, most of his 500,000 troops would starve to death. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun's eyes showed a little understanding, and he muttered: "I said how can the Fencheng army be so easy on the side, because it stands to reason that in order to conquer Xuanxian County, Xiang Mo will inevitably launch a fierce offensive against the Fencheng army. But that item was good, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and the king was blamed and annoyed by General Xu Yin...... It turned out that the intention was to end the battle in one go. β
"Your Highness means that the end of the project plans to dig a dam and release water to flood the downstream after the water has been fully stored?" Zhou Pu, who was the most intelligent among the sect guards, changed his face slightly, and asked in surprise.
"Not bad!" Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then couldn't help but sigh.
Because at this moment, whether it is the king of Qi LΓΌ Xi or the Qi army of the west road Tian Tan, both of them are on the south bank of the Hun River and the Chu army several times their strength confront, if this item digs the Hun River and releases water to flood the downstream, it is conceivable what kind of miserable situation the army of Qi King LΓΌ Xi and Tian Tan will be.
"Your Highness is so sure?" After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Pu raised his doubts: "Maybe the situation is just as we guessed before, Xiang Mo is just to create opportunities for the Chu army that is attacking my Hao County from other roads. β
"Impossible." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said confidently: "What you mean by creating an advantage is the danger of the Huhe River, because Guling Jun Xiongwu attacked our Xuan County, so we had such a misunderstanding. β¦β¦ But don't forget, the tactics adopted by our army this time are different from those of the past, so it is possible for Guling Jun Xiong Wu to attack the edge of the Hun River. β
"......" Zhou Pu changed color slightly when he heard this.
Indeed, as Zhao Hongrun said, if their Wei army still adopted orthodox tactics this time and held together, Guling Jun Xiong Wu would not have been able to attack the edge of the Huhe River so quickly.
Therefore, the original battle situation on this side should also be like the Qi kings Lu Xi and Tian Tan to the east, presenting a situation of confrontation between the Wei army and the Chu army.
In this case, what advantages did the dam at the end of the Xiang Dynasty provide to the Chu army on other roads and what opportunities did it create?
"What's more important is that it has been the late autumn season recently, and there has been a lot of rainfall, if Xiang Mo really built a dam to store water in order to create an opportunity for the Chu army on other roads, wouldn't he be worried that once the water is too much and the embankment will burst, it will flood the Chu army on other roads?" Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun said categorically: "Xiang Mo is a famous general of the Chu State, and it is impossible for such negligence to occur, unless...... Unless he had planned to burst the banks of the Hun River! β
Zhou Pu's face changed again and again, and after pondering for a while, he was convinced, and praised sincerely: "Your Highness...... Wise! β
As soon as the words fell, I saw Mu Qing smile and said: "Your Highness of our family, you are naturally wise, and you will definitely not be the opponent of Your Highness of our family." β
All the sect guards smiled heartily, and even Chu Heng, who was confused when he heard it, grinned at this moment.
After laughing for a while, Zhou Pu gradually put away the smile on his face, and asked with a straight face: "Your Highness, since the last intention is to use water to attack the method, then we must destroy that dam in time." β
"Difficult." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Mo is ambitious, I hope that the first battle will end this war, he will naturally take strict precautions against the dam, our army is small, if we forcibly attack, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to win, but will lose the county." β¦β¦ Furthermore, what about destroying a dam at the end of the project? Xiang Mo can still build another one, this season of frequent rainfall, Xiang Mo has the opportunity to store water again. β
Zhou Pu was stunned and asked suspiciously, "What does Your Highness mean?" β
I saw a few traces of essence flashing in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and said with a gloomy smile: "General Guling Jun Xiongwu's army...... Put it on the north shore. β
Hearing this, the Zongwei in the room was stunned for a moment, and after suddenly realizing it, they all laughed gloomily.
After that, Zhao Hongrun summoned several green crows and asked them to convey this message to Xu Yin of the Fencheng army, and to the lower reaches of Qi King Lu Xi and Tian Tan.
A few days later, Zhao Hongrun counted the days and felt that it was almost over, so he called a few green crows to go to the area of Fangchong, came to the place where Xiang Mo secretly built a warship, and deliberately exposed his whereabouts.
As Zhao Hongrun guessed, the news of his secret spying immediately reached the ears of Xiang Mo, the general of Chu State.
"What? You say that where our army built warships, there were spies? β
Looking at the general who came to report, Xiang Mo's face changed slightly.
Hearing this, the general hurriedly said: "Yes, General, listening to the words of the witnesses, those spies are wearing gray leather armor, all of them are agile, ordinary soldiers are not opponents at all, not like ordinary soldiers, but some like assassins, rangers and ......."
"What is the origin of the other party?" Xiang Mo frowned and asked.
"I don't know this, when the gang saw that their deeds were revealed, they resolutely withdrew." The general replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Xiang Mo paced back and forth in the room for a few steps.
Not an ordinary soldier...... Assassin-like skills......
With a slight movement in his heart, Xiang Mo stepped to the window to the east and looked deeply at the eastern sky.
Could it be...... Wei Gongzi Ji Run?
Xiang Mo's brows deepened, after all, as far as he knew, it was normal for a person of Zhao Hongrun's status to have some assassins, dead soldiers, and doormen under his hands, unlike others who had to be sneaky.
The question is, what is the purpose of this group?
Wei Gongzi Ji Run...... Did he guess my intentions? No way?
At the end of the item, he was skeptical.
After pondering for a moment, he summoned Yu Ji, a powerful general who was now his attendant, and instructed him: "Yu Ji, you immediately take a team of 100 people to the mountain passes and key roads where the Wei army's Fencheng army is stationed, and watch their every move. β
"Yes!"
Even at this moment, it was raining heavily, but Yu Ji still rushed into the rain curtain without hesitation.
Half a day later, Yu Ji sent someone to send news: There was no change in the Fencheng army.
Xiang Mo thought about it, and issued another general order to Yu Ji: Explore again!
In the evening, Yu Ji sent someone to bring the news again: the Fencheng army, those Wei troops who were originally guarding the mountain passes and passages, moved to the mountains for some reason.
Hearing this message, Xiang Mo chuckled in his heart.
Because he had already guessed that those spies or assassins who sped on his military intelligence were none other than the commander of the Wei army on the Western Road who was sitting in Haoxian County at the moment, Ji Run, the son of Wei.
Moreover, this prince of Wei had already guessed his strategy.
How can it be?!
Xiang Mo's face showed a look of horror.
As Zhao Hongrun guessed, Xiang Mo did have the idea of releasing water to flood the lower reaches of the Hun River.
After all, he had an army of 500,000 under his command, but Fang Zhong's food stock was simply not enough to feed such a huge army, even if he had ordered the daily ration to be halved, it could only support it for another twenty days.
Therefore, if he does not want to see his soldiers starve to death, or a mutiny break out as a result, the only solution is to end the war quickly - and he will end the war!
But what he didn't expect was that his side had not yet been filled with enough water potential, and Ji Run, the prince of Wei who was obviously far away in Hao County, somehow guessed his intentions and sent someone to detective.
This...... What went wrong?
Xiang Mo really couldn't figure it out, because he thought that he was acting very secretively, and even sent people down to the river to catch fish in order to hide the real function of the dam.
But how did it get exposed?
I have to say that Xiang Mo is really a little wronged.
Because the problem was not with him, but with the Wei army: because the Wei army adopted guerrilla tactics this time, Guling Jun Xiong Wu easily led his army to the south bank of the Hun River, so that Zhao Hongrun could only rely on the danger of the Hun River to resist Xiong Wu's army.
At this time, Xiang Mo cut off the flow of the Huhe River, Zhao Hongrun was worried, worried that Xiong Wu would take the opportunity to cross the Hun River, how could he not pay attention to the water potential of the Hun River?
This attention is the importance of problems.
If we change the battle situation, for example, the Wei army also adopted orthodox tactics, so that at this moment the Wei army is still confronting the Chu army in the land south of the Hun River.
In this case, Zhao Hongrun will not be able to use the danger of the Hun River, and may relax his vigilance, thinking that the dam built at the end of the project is just to catch fish to make up for the shortage of food in the army.
In other words, it can only be said that Xiang Mo has bad luck.
Wei Gongzi Ji Run...... Wei Gongzi Ji Run...... This son may be even more difficult than that Tian Tan!
Secretly muttering the name, Xiang Mo paced back and forth in the room, and he felt more and more that the prince of Wei was unusual.
But what now?
As soon as he thought of this question, Xiang Mo frowned deeply, because the plan to flood the lower reaches of the Hun River had not yet been fully prepared, and besides, the current water potential of the Hun River was not enough to crush all the enemy troops downstream.
However, the embarrassing thing is that Xiang Mo has no time.
Because in his opinion, Ji Run, the prince of Wei in Haoxian, had already guessed his strategy, and the Fencheng army was already preparing to move the military camp to the mountain, which was obviously to prevent his water attack tactics.
If it is delayed any longer, wait for Ji Run, the prince of Wei, to pass the news to Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and Tian Tan of the Qi army on the West Road, so that Lu Xi and Tian Tan will be on guard, and at that time, he will be empty at the end of the bamboo basket.
Thinking of this, a few hints of determination flashed in Xiang Mo's eyes.
That's it! Now that this plan has been exposed, he simply took advantage of the fact that the Fencheng army had not moved the military camp to the mountain, first released water to wash away the obstacles of his mountain passes and main roads, and killed him in one go!
Xiang Mo secretly settled down. (To be continued.) )
