Chapter 585 You're Waiting, I'm Waiting

After Zhao Kuangyin decided on the plan to flood the North Sea, he did not move, only waiting for the rainy season to come, and then built a dam to store the floodwater. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Kuangyin is not afraid that this strategy will leak out, this is a naked conspiracy, even if Lin Renzhao knows about it, what can he do? The water source is in his territory, originating in Xu Yan and flowing to the Bohai Bay. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places, even if Lin Renzhao knows, he can't change the direction of the flood.

As soon as the rainy season arrives, the defense line built by Lin Renzhao on the southern front is bound to be flooded!

Zhao Kuangyin is determined to win, this kind of conspiracy is impossible to solve, so Zhao Kuangyin did not waste the lives of the soldiers and attacked Lin Renzhao. As for whether Lin Renzhao would notice it and withdraw his troops, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care. Because if you cross this line of defense, you will go directly to Jiaodong, the temporary administrative center of Qingzhou.

At that time, Qingzhou will be a flat river, and there is no danger to defend, either Kong Rong abandons the land and flees, or Kong Rong guards the city, just waiting for the southern defense line to be broken, and it is only a matter of time before Qingzhou is taken.

Zhao Kuangyin's side did not move, and after a long time, Lin Renzhao, who was high-profile, couldn't sit still when he noticed that something was wrong.

On Lin Renzhao's side, there were Wen Yang, Tai Shici, Tang Bin as the general, Xu Shu as the military division, and 30,000 troops stationed in Gaomi City, ready to resist Zhao Kuangyin's attack.

In the city government, Lin Renzhao walked back and forth, looked at the generals and said: "What is the idea of this Zhao Kuangyin, and now he has been confronting our army for more than a month, but he has not moved, which is really incomprehensible."

"Could it be that Zhao Kuangyin's intention to attack Qingzhou is uncertain, or it is unevenly distributed with Yuan Shao, so he can't take a wait-and-see attitude?" Wen Yang held his saber in his hand, frowning and guessing.

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "This should be unlikely, Zhao Kuangyin raised 100,000 troops, and Xuzhou was the support, and it took so much effort to destroy my Qingzhou." And the scouts came with the news that a month ago, General Chen Qingzhi burned the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's vanguard of 50,000 troops, Yuan Shao's lack of grain and grass is still Yanzhou's help to Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and now Yuan Shao led the army to the front line of the giant ocean and is storming General Chen's camp. ”

"Although General Chen has few soldiers and horses, he has the Juyang River as a steep, and there is also a camp on the east bank, and now that the rainy season is coming, he can also rely on the water army to resist Yuan Shao on the river. If it doesn't work, you can still retreat to the drama county, Yuan Shao's side is even more difficult to attack, Zhao Kuangyin wants Yuan Shao to be the main force, but it obviously doesn't make sense. Tai Shici also analyzed.

"I feel that Zhao Kuangyin, this is a conspiracy against our army!" Xu Shu frowned.

Conspiracy? Xu Shu's words made the atmosphere in the camp slightly solemn, and Lin Renzhao said with a smile: "No matter what conspiracy he has, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and Zhao Kuangyin will not attack us." On the contrary, it is to give us time, and when the time comes, you can send troops to attack Jizhou and relieve the pressure on Qingzhou. ”

After listening to Lin Renzhao's relief, the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and now the wheat in Youzhou in the north is almost ripe, even if the migration of the Hu people has not ended, they can still free up some soldiers and horses to send troops.

"Go down, and take precautions everywhere!" Lin Renzhao waved his hand and asked the generals to stand back. After the generals left, Lin Renzhao looked at Xu Shu with a solemn face and asked, "Military advisor, you said earlier that Zhao Kuangyin had a conspiracy against our army, can you guess what it is?"

"The general deliberately didn't say it, he should have guessed it, right?" Xu Shu looked at Lin Renzhao and asked.

Lin Renzhao nodded solemnly and said: "Now that the rainy season has arrived, the rainy season has begun to continue, but Zhao Kuangyin has not moved, and our army is stationed in Anqiu, Chang'an, Gaomi and other cities. I was worried that Zhao Kuangyin would cut off the upstream river, and in June and July, when it rained heavily, once the levees were cut off, the defenses I had set up would be wiped out. ”

"I'm also worried about this, the general deliberately didn't say it, because he was worried that the soldiers would panic after they found out?"

Lin Renzhao smiled bitterly: "Yes, once Zhao Kuangyin does this, then our army has no way to deal with it, so we can only retreat to Jiaodong." At that time, my Qingzhou will have no danger to defend, and I am worried about being destroyed. If you say it, our soldiers will be fine, but those people will cause panic. ”

"The general doesn't say it, but he should also make preparations in advance, move the people near the river to other sides, and send a large number of ships to station on the river, so as not to prevent Zhao Kuangyin from really doing this!" Xu Shu suggested.

Lin Renzhao nodded and said, "I'll just give orders, but if things really develop in this situation, once Qingzhou loses, how can I explain to Your Majesty?"

Xu Shu was relieved: "This is a naked conspiracy, what can our army do?" If this is the case, our army will temporarily retreat to Jiaodong to delay and wait for the annexed side to free up. ”

"By the way, is there a response from Liangshan Song Jiang?" Lin Renzhao asked abruptly.

Since Song Jiang was elected as the leader by Yuan Shao, he has been living happily in the Great Nozawa. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin had just dealt with the Yellow Turban, and Du Yu also relied on his prestige in the Yellow Turban to persuade many Yellow Turban forces to join, relying on the natural terrain of Dayozawa, Song Jiang had tens of thousands of troops in it, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and now the Black Mountain Army has taken refuge in Yuan Shao, Song Jiang can be said to be the most powerful force among the Yellow Turban remnants.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't take Song Jiang to heart at first, but later after Zhao Kuangyin wanted to exterminate them, the Liangshan thieves were also familiar with the terrain of Dayozawa, and Zhao Kuangyin had no naval army, so he hid in the mountains and swamps when he attacked Liangshan soldiers and horses, and he couldn't catch them at all if they didn't leave their hands like ordinary loaches.

It wasn't until later that Zhao Kuangyin successively attacked Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and he had no time to attack Song Jiang. Until now, Song Jiang is still entrenched in Onozawa.

If you want to deal with the enemy, it is naturally best to let the enemy's backyard catch fire, Nanyang Chang Yuchun was stopped by Cao Bin, and there is not much threat to Yanzhou. So Liu Wei set his sights on Song Jiang's gang of thieves, if he could let Song Jiang send troops to do things, he would be disgusting and disgusting Zhao Kuangyin.

Of course, Song Jiang did not have such a big force, posing a threat to Zhao Kuangyin's rear. After all, Zhao Guangyi guarded Yanzhou, and Shi Wansui, Yu Ban and other generals, this Yellow Turban thief was not the opponent of the well-trained Yanzhou soldiers and horses.

But if Song Jiang can send troops, at least it will be better than nothing. In my impression, Song Jiang was a recruiter and was very loyal to the country, so when Li Jing proposed to Liu Wei last year that Zhao Kuangyin and Yuan Shaohui would jointly attack Qingzhou, Liu Wei wrote to Qingzhou and asked Xu Shu to send someone to negotiate with Song Jiang, hoping to recruit Song Jiang's gang of thieves.

Song Jiang's subordinates, except for Du Ling, Wu Yong and Li Kui are all small roles, and Liu Wei didn't take it to heart, anyway, it was a verbal check, Song Jiang was willing to recruit the best, anyway, it was used to disgust Zhao Kuangyin. If he is unwilling, Liu Wei has nothing to lose.

Lin Renzhao asked about the negotiation of Liangshan, and Xu Shu replied: "Then Song Jiang is not bad, and he means to recruit An, but Wu Yong under his hand, Li Kui is unwilling, but Du Yu is looking at Song Jiang's horse." Wu Yong, Li Kui couldn't resist Song Jiang, and he was also relieved, and Song Jiang said that he would send troops to make trouble in the rear of Yanzhou. But they're a rabble, and I'm afraid it won't have much effect. ”

"Hey, it's better than nothing, so at least Yanzhou won't send more soldiers and horses over, and Zhao Kuangyin only has these 100,000 soldiers and horses available. But why is Wu Yong so familiar? I remember that it was a dog-headed military division named Wu Yong in the Yellow Turban Army who arrested General Lin Chong's wife, if it weren't for General Qin Qiong's uneven road, I'm afraid she would ......" Lin Renzhao frowned slightly.

"This Wu Yong is the dog-headed military advisor who robbed General Lin Chong's wife back then! He was lucky not to die back then, and fled to Qingzhou with Du Ling, and went to Liangshan! Xu Shu smiled bitterly.

Lin Renzhao slapped the table and said: "I didn't expect this kind of villain to be happy and happy, but it won't be long before I am proud, since Song Jiang is recruiting An, Zhao Kuangyin will fight Liangshan when he turns back." If he surrenders, he will be on the battlefield and will be crowned with the head of that man. ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled, and discussed other military affairs with Lin Renzhao.

……………………

It's now May, 198 A.D. The rainy season in Qingzhou continued, but the rain was not strong, but it could not withstand the rainy season for several days, and the Yuan Shao military camp in the west of Beihai was wet anyway, and the camp tent was damp, and many soldiers were sick. As the defending side, Chen Qingzhi established the earthen city early, although the city is also a camp, but the waterproof work is good.

As soon as the sky was clear, the Yuan army attacked the Han army camp again, but just as it had an effect, the heavy rain came again, and the Yuan army was tormented and miserable. The Qingzhou Peninsula is close to the sea, the climate is changeable, and it can be said that the rainy season is continuous in April and May. Yuan Shao simply did not send troops, just waiting for June, as soon as the sky cleared, he defeated Chen Qingzhi's camp in one go.

After all, the months of June, July and August are not as rainy as April and May. At this time, although it rained, it was a few days at a time, and it was a torrential rain, and it was sunny for several days, and the sun was shining.

And Zhao Kuangyin is also waiting, he has already sent troops to build a dam upstream to evacuate the people, just waiting for the time to enter June, a rainstorm will flood Lin Renzhao's southern defense line.

Both sides are waiting, but Li Jing is also waiting, he is waiting for the best time to send troops.

And Taiyuan! In the school field outside the city, since Li Jing had a showdown with the generals a month ago, he changed his old style, rectified military affairs every day, supervised the training of non-commissioned soldiers, ate with the soldiers, and treated the soldiers very well, and soon won the love of this army.

Li Jing stood on the point platform, and the soldiers below were training enthusiastically. Compared with the rainy weather in Qingzhou, the weather in Bingzhou is sunny, neither hot nor cold.

During this time, although Li Jing came out to preside over the overall situation, for fear of being informed of his changes by Yuan Jun's spies, he ordered the military camp to be guarded, and the soldiers were not allowed to leave the camp. Therefore, the Yuan army spies didn't know that Li Jing, who drank and had fun all day long, had become a general who was deeply loved by the soldiers.

Su Dingfang stood behind Li Jing, and now he is Li Jing's deputy general, and was accepted as land by Li Jing, and Li Jing taught him the art of war. Su Ding reported to Li Jingyu: "General, Wang Tingshi sent someone to inform you, please go over to discuss important matters!"
