Chapter 717: The Night River
Liu He restrained his smile and said with a straight face: "I never thought of letting you deliberately lose to me, and on the contrary, I hope you can go all out to fight this battle." ”
Under Guo Jia's stunned gaze, Liu He turned away.
"The surname Zhou, did you hear it, that kid asked us to use all our strength to fight him," Guo Jia stabbed Zhou Yu beside him with his elbow very invisibly, "I didn't believe the rumors about him before, but now I believe it, this kid is really evil." ”
Zhou Yu glanced at Guo Jia, who was leaning on him, with disgust, but did not push him away, and then looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, his eyes were hot, and said: "When it comes to this, don't you understand what he means?" ”
Guo Jia pursed his lips and said, "The surname is Zhou, don't think that you are a smart person in this world, of course I can hear what he means." ”
"Oh?" Zhou Yu showed a rare look of expectation, "Then tell me, what did you hear?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "The more serious we are, the more confident he is of winning this battle, it seems that he has come up with a countermeasure, of course, the premise must be that we actively mobilize troops and horses, so that he can find a fleeting fighter in the middle, we don't need to worry about knowing this will be unfavorable to that kid, when the time comes, the queen of southern Xinjiang will give us an order to win this battle, if you want to win, it is impossible to retreat in southern Xinjiang, you must take the initiative to attack." But I'd love to see what that kid can come up with. ”
The two prodigies who had never tasted defeat in their lives looked at the distant back and smiled at each other.
None of them said the young man's other intentions, but they knew each other, and in addition to the scheming, the young man was also looking forward to having a head-to-head confrontation with them.
There is nothing more wonderful in the world than meeting an opponent in chess, especially for two smart people who have won in their lives and have never lost.
Outside the bamboo house of the royal court, the queen of southern Xinjiang watched all this silently.
A tall man appeared behind her, burly but not making a single movement.
"Nothing could go wrong, would it?" Lu Bu's tone was stiff, without any respect for the lord of Southern Xinjiang, "Guo Jia and Zhou Yu are not the kind of people who are at the mercy of others. ”
The queen of Southern Xinjiang was not surprised by Lu Bu's sudden appearance, she turned around, showed a charming smile, and said softly: "You can't believe me?" ”
Lu Bu subconsciously took a step back, his face solemn. On that face, which was enough to make all the men in the world smitten, he saw an undisguised killing intent.
The queen of southern Xinjiang chuckled a few times, the same laughter, but it was like a different person, without the slightest scheming of the city government, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, and said softly: "Lu Wenhou, the little woman has to rely on you for the matter of charging into battle." “
Lu Bu let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, how can there be such a little woman in the world, one look is enough to make people afraid.
Cai Xi walked in from outside the house and said expressionlessly: "Everything is ready, the army can set off at any time." ”
Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Let's go?" Isn't it to face the army of Shu Han in the royal court? ”
The queen of Southern Xinjiang smiled at all, and said coldly: "Just rely on him Liu He? He doesn't want to step into the southern Xinjiang half a step, I want to defeat his army directly on the border, I want to see if he can still speak freely when the corpses of Shu are all over the field! ”
Cai Xi and Lu Bu were stunned.
The mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle on the tail of the wasp. It's both, it's the most poisonous woman's heart.
To the south of Shu, there is a river called Yeqi River, and the north bank of Yeqi River is the people of Shu who have been fishing for a living for generations, and the south bank belongs to the land of southern Xinjiang.
It is precisely because of the unique geographical location of the Yeqi River that the river that is destined to flow to the east will never be calm.
After witnessing the rare peaceful days of more than ten years on both sides of the strait, tonight's night river may be red with blood again.
On the north bank of the Yeqi River, the Shu Han army is ready to go, just waiting for one person to appear, it will cross the Yeqi River and the army will go south.
Ten days ago, this army that had exhausted the national strength of Shu Han had actually reached the bank of the Yeqi River, but it was not in a hurry to cross the river, but under the command of the commander Han Yi, ten bridges across the Yeqi River were built.
This is also due to the coincidence that the Yeqi River, which is turbulent all year round, only slows down at this time of the year, and after learning the news, Liu He, who is far away in the villages of southern Xinjiang, asked Fajie to convey the order to build the bridge.
When they got this order, Pang Tong and Zhong Lixun looked at each other, and the ten bridges could indeed allow the Shu Han army to reach the south bank of the Yeqi River smoothly, but at the same time, it also meant that it opened the door for the southern Xinjiang army to go north.
Once the Shu Han army was defeated and returned to the north bank, the pursuing southern Xinjiang army would follow one after another, not only losing the opportunity to turn the tide of the battle by attacking half-crossing, but also making it impossible for the Shu Han army to regroup.
But when the ten bridges were repaired, Pang Tong and Zhong Lixun, who were high and low, finally understood Liu He's good intentions.
The Shu army only needed to cross south to the south bank of the Yeqi River and hold ten bridges, which could almost be said to be holding the border line.
Once a defender is defeated, the southern Xinjiang army will only have one bridge to pass, and the strength will be limited, and even if they can reach the Shu army camp on the north bank, they will be immediately surrounded and annihilated by the Shu army guarding the camp.
Although this method of arranging troops was unheard of, it was unexpectedly effective, so that even the soldiers of Shu Han couldn't help but suspect that the water of the Yeqi River would slow down at this time, completely because God blessed Shu Han.
Of course, Zhong Lixun and Pang Tong would not think so, this is not a miracle of God blessing Shu Han at all, most of the upper reaches of the Yeqi River are within the southern boundary, and the people of southern Xinjiang know the water flow of the Yeqi River better than the Shu people, and it is precisely because of this that they will choose to launch an attack on Shu when the water flow slows down.
With these ten bridges, it is equivalent to setting up ten sentry posts on the water that are connected in a line, and if the southern Xinjiang army wants to swim directly from the river to the other side, it will be subjected to a volley of Shu Han archers who are ambushed on the bridge.
This undoubtedly broke the idea of the southern Xinjiang army crossing the Yeqi River by water, and there was only one way in front of them, that is, to walk honestly from the bridge to the north bank.
But even then, the ten bridges that were very close to each other were always within the range of the archers, and if the southern army captured one of the bridges and wanted to get to the north bank, they would have to meet the guards on the bridges first, and then face a round of archers from the two nearby bridges.
