Guo Kan frowned, he was thinking about Xie An's plan to flood, what problems were there, and Jiang Jiang on the side already had a different opinion.

"Mr. Xie, although this plan sounds good, there are a few problems. First, although flooding Ruyin can break the city, but acting like this will inevitably cause many innocent people to suffer. The lord puts benevolence and righteousness first, and if he does this, will not it damage the reputation of the lord? Second, Yang Lin will inevitably send spies to investigate the actions of our army, so that the army will not be able to escape Yang Lin's ears and eyes if he moves the people to build a dam to block the water. Moreover, Yingshui runs through the entire Ruyin City, if it prepares early, or sends people to harass it, or sends people to guard the side of Yingshui, open a canal to drain the water, and some rain, it is difficult to damage Ruyin City, and this plan will inevitably be difficult to achieve in any case. ”

Xie An's face remained unchanged when he heard Jiang Jiang's opinion, while Yang Yanqi seemed to feel that Jiang Jiang had spoken for him, and glanced at Jiang Jiang with some happiness.

Jiang Jiang's words were actually exactly what Guo Kan was thinking, so Guo Kan didn't speak, he didn't know what Xie An was thinking in his heart, if it was just limited to what was in front of him, then Guo Kan's evaluation of Xie An would be much lower. "Isn't it unreasonable? Mr. Xie has anything else to say? ”

"Jiang Gongcheng's words are indeed reasonable, which is why I said before that I can't attack Ruyin and want to attack it."

Xie An's words made several other people fall into a daze for a while, but it was Guo Kan, who paused for a moment, suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Xie's intention is here!" Okay, then according to Mr. Xie. ”

Jiang Jiang personally led people to the Yingshui River ten miles away from Ruyin City, with hundreds of soldiers, began to carry the earth to build the embankment, the army was busy in full swing, but during this time, the weather has been cloudy and sunny, and there is too much rain, which makes Jiang Jiang's embankment soldiers miserable, and the progress of the embankment is also quite slow.

Of course, as Jiang Jiang said, Yang Lin's spies had already detected Jiang Jiang's plan to build an embankment, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked Lu Qian and several of his Taibao to discuss how to deal with it.

When Lu Qian heard the news that Jiang Jiang would build an embankment, he was also shocked at first, after all, water and fire are ruthless, one fire and one flooding, once it erupts, it is not something that can be controlled by manpower, even if it is a party that uses a plan, it may suffer from it. In addition, this kind of strategy is very likely to cause casualties to the people, such as the so-called fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.

"Once the dam is completed, Ruyin City will inevitably be flooded, and the general and the last general are willing to lead two thousand elite soldiers to attack the enemy's embankment at night, so that Guo Kan's poisonous plan cannot be successful!"

Lu Fang also knew the harm of this plan, so he immediately thought of destruction, and even he had a generous determination to die because of this.

"Lu Fang, don't be impulsive, there may be other ways to do this, and this kind of brutality is not the way."

Yang Lin looked at Lu Qian again, Lu Qian suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "General Lu, don't worry!" This is also the enemy's trick, if I expect it to be correct, if the little general goes to attack tonight, he will inevitably fall into the enemy's ambush. ”

Yang Lin sighed and hurriedly asked, "Why did the county guard say this?" Could it be that there are other mysteries in it? ”

"General, please think about it, Yingshui stretches for dozens of miles from outside the city, runs through Ruyin City, and then injects Huaishui, even if Guo Kan can cut off Yingshui, take advantage of the summer rain, raise the water level, as long as we are prepared and good at channeling, we will definitely be able to let the water be safely injected into the Huaishui, and it will not have a big impact on Ruyin City. Guo Kannai is a famous general in the world, how can he not know this kind of thing? Therefore, I think that Guo Kan's move is not to attack the city, but must have other plans. If the major general really couldn't bear the anger for a while and went out of the city to attack, it would be Guo Kan's plan. ”

Lu Qian analyzed the feasibility of flooding Ruyin City with Ying Shui, and then Yang Lin laughed and said: "Fortunately, Lu Junshou is familiar with the environment here, so he can make such an accurate judgment, otherwise we will definitely fall for the enemy's tricks again." In this case, then Lu Fang, Xue Liang, Li Wan and Suo Chao, each of you will lead a thousand people to find a suitable place to open a canal to divert water along the Yingshui waterline, so as to ensure that when the water comes, it will not be poured too much into the city. ”

The four of them nodded and walked out together.

At this time, Yang Lin looked at Lu Qian again and said, "At that time, if the enemy really diverts water and pours it back, even if we are fully prepared, it will inevitably cause panic among the people." Therefore, Lu Junshou still had to work hard and issue an edict in advance to prepare the people ideologically; In addition, in the warning, Guo Kan's sinister plan must be made public, and the self-proclaimed benevolent image of Wu Ming's husband must be exposed. ”

Lu Qian nodded again and again, "The general is wise!" The two armies are fighting, and the heart is the best! Guo Kan used this poisonous trick, wouldn't it make the people's hearts turn back? At that time, we will wait for the army and the people to be united, so why worry that the enemy army will not be broken! ”

In Ruyin City, the soldiers of the three armies began to get busy, and they all knew that they were about to face a flood; Especially when it rains, every family does not dare to relax their vigilance in the slightest, for fear that the whole family is gone when they accidentally wake up. At the same time, they were still cursing Guo Kan and Wu Ming in their hearts who wanted to flood the city.

However, after more than ten days, there were several large and small rains, but the spies came to report that the embankment of General Jiang's army had collapsed several times, which made Yang Lin a little crying and laughing. He was waiting for the battle, but the weather didn't seem to give Guo Kan's army face, and a dam was built for half a month without success, let alone being able to pour river water into the city. However, Yang Lin still reminded the soldiers in the city that they should be ready and not relax any vigilance.

After a few more days, the people found that the enemy's army had not flooded the city as Yang Lin had said, and they began to wonder if there was something wrong with the warning issued by the county guard; Although Lü Qian later issued a notice again, saying that the enemy's embankment had not been built because of the heavy rain, so it had not had time to flood Ruyin, but the people thought that this was deliberately deceived by the county guard.

On this day, Yang Lin was still patrolling the city as usual, and suddenly saw a fast rider speeding in from the north gate, shouting that there was an urgent military situation. When the defenders saw that there was only one horseman, they let him in. After the man was brought to Yang Lin, he immediately shouted anxiously: "General Yang, hurry, hurry up and send a large army to save General Zhu!" A few days ago, a large army suddenly descended from the sky and raided Xiyang City, and General Zhu was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. The general sent me to ask the general for help, if it is too late, Xiyang City will be destroyed! ”

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't know who this raider was anyway.

"Whose soldiers and horses are they?"
