Chapter 35: Heavy Rain

Lu Bu garrisoned Xiapi and indeed cleared the wilderness, and at this moment the area around Xiapi was deserted, a large number of people were expelled, and the grain in the fields was also burned. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The boundary of Xuzhou immediately spread in all directions, and a piece of land that was originally rich became a purgatory on earth in an instant.

It's just that even at this time, Lu Bu still hasn't made any progress, he knows how to drink and have fun every day, and after being captured from Xuzhou City and dedicated to Cao Cao, he is more and more self-defeating.

Chen Gong doesn't seem to see any hope anymore, but he used to instigate Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao, and he can't leave Lu Bu at this time, so let's carry it together.

Cao Cao's grain and grass are indeed not much, but there are always frames constantly transported from Xudu, hoping that Cao Cao will run out of grain and then retreat, which seems to have become a luxury.

"If only there was a heavy rain." Chen Gong glanced at the sky outside the house, and then sighed deeply.

Bang!

Chen Gong's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and he quickly threw down the bamboo slip in his hand, and ran out of the door without having time to put on his robe.

In an instant, another loud thunder sounded, and the sky, which had been very clear, immediately became low, and some small raindrops had begun to fall gradually.

"Heaven will not kill me, heaven will not kill me, haha." Chen Gong seemed to be crazy at this time, running back and forth in the light rain, looking extremely happy.

When Lu Bu heard the cheers, he also walked out of the house next door, and after seeing Chen Gong dancing in the rain, he asked loudly in confusion: "Why is Gongtai so happy, is it because Cao Cao is about to break the city?" ”

Chen Gong laughed and replied, "Does the lord know what this heavy rain represents?" ”

Lu Bu was stunned, and was about to answer, when another loud thunder sounded, and the light rain became heavier and heavier in an instant, as if it was pouring down.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Gong smiled even more happily, looking at the raindrops that kept falling, his face suddenly changed, and he said to Lu Bu seriously: "Lord, as soon as this heavy rain falls, Cao Cao's road to transport grain and grass will inevitably be difficult, and we scouts know that they still have ten days of grain and grass at most, which also includes the amount they use when they return, so Cao Cao must not last long, and if he doesn't withdraw his troops in a few days, the whole army will be hungry." ”

Lu Buwei thought about it and was immediately overjoyed, but this happiness came too quickly, and he still had some unreal feelings, so he hurriedly asked: "Is what the public station said true?" ”

Chen Gong laughed and said: "Naturally, it is serious, and if such a heavy rain falls, their firearms will also be greatly reduced, this is simply God helping us, God bless the lord." ”

Lu Bu also laughed, and then threw the wine jug in his hand aside, and then shouted to his entourage: "Raising the account, we must quickly formulate a strategy, and once the Cao thief withdraws, we will chase and kill him, and we must let the other party know that it is very good to provoke me Lu Bu, haha." ”

Cao Cao had a great headache at the moment, the transportation grain road from Xudu was washed away by heavy rain for two days, and finally a collapse occurred, and a section of the mountain road was completely buried, and it would take at least three or four days to open it.

And now the grain and grass in the camp have been urgent, even if they are saved, they can only last for ten days at most, and the nearby villages have been completely emptied by Lu Bu, and it is impossible to requisition the grain.

Sighing secretly, Cao Cao felt that this crusade against Xuzhou was estimated to end in failure, and he still lost in the face of God, which was indeed extremely regrettable.

"Fengxiao, Gongda, it seems that we are going to end up failing this time." After Cao Cao finished speaking to Guo Jia and Xun You in his tent, he sighed deeply.

Guo Jia was taken aback, and immediately dissuaded: "The lord must not be discouraged at this time, Xiapi has now been besieged by our army, and this battle has come, we have won all the way, Lu Bu has long lost the will to fight, once he is discouraged as the main general, then it will inevitably affect the generals and soldiers under him, our morale is booming, and we will soon be able to attack Xiapi." ”

Xun You also persuaded: "Now that Chen Gong has been driven back to Xiapi by Cao Ang Shizi and Yuan Yun, his morale will inevitably be greatly reduced, although he has a lot of plans, but the opportunity is not enough, now Lu Bu is slack, Chen Gong's plan is undecided, it is a good time to launch a fierce attack." ”

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and listened, suddenly frowned, and decided to gamble once, so he asked: "I have ordered people to dig a trench around to surround Xiapi, but the city wall is high, we will definitely attack it for a long time, can the two of you have a plan to deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and didn't speak, but gave the opportunity to Xun You.

Xun You glanced at Guo Jia gratefully, and then replied: "Back to the lord, Feng Xiao and I have already seen the nearby terrain, as long as the ditch is dug and the Yishui and Surabaya are poured into the city, Xiapi will definitely not be able to resist." ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, and his eyes immediately showed joy, but his expression was still indifferent: "This is very good, but we don't have much food and grass, so we must fight quickly." ”

Yuan Yun looked at the wet and messy dirt road outside the camp with a sad face, and couldn't help but be very angry in his heart, not because he didn't give face to the thief, but because he was angry that he had ignored the historical record.

Cao Cao surrounded Pi, and it was clearly written that he wanted to withdraw because of lack of food, but was finally dissuaded by a group of advisers.

As a result, I had the illusion that Xu Du had grain and grass constantly coming, and grain and grass should not be a problem, but history still happened, although it was not so accurate, but it was always time to come.

Just like Cao Cao's crusade against Yuan Shu before, it is also recorded that he killed Wang Yuan because of lack of food, and he also thought that Cao Cao's grain and grass were enough for several months of expedition, but in the end he was attacked by Zhang Xiu and led the cavalry, and he was burned to 7788, and Wang Gao finally made an unlucky scapegoat.

It seems that the inevitability of history cannot be ignored, Yuan Yun thought of this, and patted his head gently.

"What is Yuan Xiaoxian worried about?" With the sound of the sound, Yuan Yun's head hurt even more.

Guo Jia walked to Yuan Yun's tent with a smile, and then arched his hand, his face was full of malicious smiles, every time this smile appeared, it meant that something bad was about to happen again.

Yuan Yun's cheeks twitched, he bowed back, and then replied rather sarcastically: "Guo Jiajun is here, I really started to worry, or you disappear in front of my eyes first, I guarantee that my whole body will be comfortable and alive in an instant." ”

Guo Jia's face was naturally not shattered by Yuan Yun's little taunt, so he casually took out a military order from his sleeve, and then said with a smile: "The lord is afraid that you will be too idle in the barracks, so he gave you a job to do." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, took it unhappily, opened it and took a look, and immediately wanted to scold his mother loudly. Damn it! Unexpectedly, Lao Tzu took the gunpowder army to dig a waterway, which was unlucky.

"You have finally come up with the trick of attacking with water, and now that it has rained heavily for two or three days, it is estimated that the rivers of Yishui and Surabaya are about to overflow, and you will really pick the time." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he found that Guo Jia's face instantly became ugly.

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, and then said unhappily: "Yuan Xiao Immortal is a good skill, the detailed work we arranged in Xuzhou before was guessed by you, and now you can think of all the strategies of Picheng with my words, which makes me feel that you are not like a human being, but more like a demon." ”

Yuan Yun shuddered, but he wasn't worried that Guo Jia would tie himself up and burn him, after all, when it came to being like a demon, he Guo Jia was not much worse, he had always been clever, and the most terrifying thing was that he didn't miss a single time.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun said nonsense: "In order to investigate the mineral deposits in Xuzhou, I sent some people over, so I know a lot about some things in Xuzhou, and I accidentally learned about some interactions between Guo Jiajun and Chen Deng's father and son, and because of the exploration of mineral deposits, I naturally have a deep understanding of the topography of this place, so I know that it is the most appropriate time to attack with water." ”

After listening to Yuan Yun's nonsense, Guo Jia felt that it was reasonable and well-founded, so he didn't delve into anything, after all, even if he studied deeply, it didn't make much sense, Yuan Yun had already patiently explained, and it was not good for him to press step by step.

So, Guo Jia cautiously reminded: "The excavation of the waterway is only three days, and Yuan Xiaoxian must not delay this matter, otherwise he will definitely be severely punished by the lord." ”

Yuan Yun arched his hand, said clearly, and then sent this smart man out of his camp, there is nothing to worry about the excavation of the waterway, after all, there are still a lot of gunpowder bombs saved in his hand, digging mountains and opening stones, it is definitely a sharp weapon.

The only headache is whether Cao Ang can subdue Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, once this army attacks the city, who knows what will happen? I just hope that these two people can be absorbed by their own new city, and everything is for the future.

"Send you to the outside of the village, there is a sentence to explain, although it is already a hundred flowers blooming, the wildflowers on the roadside, you, no, want, pick ......" Yuan Yun hummed a small tune, and easily opened the boiling pot in his tent, a pot of delicious fish soup was rolling with various seasonings.

In a moment, Yuan Yun felt that two figures flashed into the tent, no need to guess, Shi Shen and Xiao Liu, the two foodies, probably smelled the smell, and now their noses are smarter than dogs, damn.

Knocking on the edge of the iron pot with chopsticks, Yuan Yun said angrily: "One bowl for one person, drink more and hit the board." ”

Shi Shen smiled, and actually took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms, I really don't know how he kept these things in his arms all the time.

Xiao Liu was not idle, it was a complete set of dishes and chopsticks, and after loading his own, he hurriedly filled Yuan Yun's bowl as well.

Yuan Yun took the fish soup handed over by Xiao Liu, and then said: "After drinking the fish soup, I will go to let the brothers of the Gunpowder Army gather, and inform them that we don't need to fight the battle in the future, everyone is waiting to receive the reward." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shi Shen beside him again, and then asked, "How many rich people did you bring over this time?" Can you make enough money? ”

Shi Shen took a big sip of fish soup, and then spit out his hot red tongue, and then replied: "One hundred and fifty people, all of them are placed in the medical camp, this time I listened to the advice of the lord, let's not cut off the head, specifically cut off the ear, now this gang of rich people are all filled with the enemy's left ear, as soon as the war is over, you can find the master of the army to settle, this time the military achievements can be rich, some people can be awarded the military waiting, but they must not be given a song, otherwise those soldiers will definitely be pitted." ”

Yuan Yun shook his hand impatiently, and said: "How can it be possible to give them real military power, they are just a name, at most they will give some money, but they will not care about those money, so they can save it, they just want to mix a military position in the army, so that they will have face in Xudu in the future." ”

Xiao Liu asked cautiously at this time: "Lord, if Cao Sikong knows about this matter, will he be punished very seriously?" ”

Yuan Yun said with a smile: "The mastermind of this matter is now Cao Ang's son, we are all fighting, and most of the money earned back is used on those soldiers who died in battle, so the prince of the world is no longer opposed, but there is still a little encouragement, if Cao Sikong wants to play the board, then beat the prince...... Oops, you let me down. ”

Yuan Yun was halfway through his words, and he was already picked up by Cao Ang who was walking behind him.

Cao Ang's eyes lit up when he saw the fish soup that Yuan Yun put on the low table, and then he casually threw Yuan Yun behind him, only then did he grab Yuan Yun's chopsticks and drink them all in one gulp, and pursed his lips with a very reminiscent taste.

Yuan Yun looked at the fish soup that was finally cooked, but he didn't get a bite, and he was immediately furious, he just wanted to rob Shi Shen and Xiaoliu, but when he saw that these two goods had a big mouth, he almost swallowed the bowl.

Cao Ang finished enjoying the beautiful fish soup and sighed a few times, and then said: "Father's order has been given, Brother Yun will take the gunpowder army to the other side of the river in the afternoon, and this matter cannot be delayed." ”

Yuan Yunwei was stunned and said unhappily: "Did you send me alone, didn't Brother Cao Ang have to go with him?" ”

Cao Ang shook his hand and said: "I want to participate in the siege of the city, the two Zhang Liao and Chen Gong you mentioned before, if you want to subdue them, you must convince them, I will take the lead in rushing to the front, let them have a good taste of my Cao Ang's bravery." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, don't fight so hard, let's not accept these two people, why did you put your own life into it?" Yuan Yun hurriedly comforted.

Cao Ang laughed twice, knowing that Yuan Yun didn't want him to be in danger, but as a military general, if he didn't personally participate in the siege of the city, how could he prove to others that he was a qualified candidate?

Patting Yuan Yun on the shoulder, Cao Ang smiled: "I have this set of black martial arts armor you designed to be 2.0, and there is absolutely no problem with self-preservation, so Brother Yun can do his own thing, I will wait for you to dig the river, and then flood the city, then I will be the first to climb the city wall of Xiapi and take the lead for our gunpowder army." ”
