In the moment when Liu Bao rushed to the city gate, the waves had surrounded most of the Jin, and the boiling water poured into the city from all the cracks, and soon the streets and houses of the city were all flooded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city was flooded with water, and in less than half a day, the entire Jin Dynasty was already immersed in the torrent of Surabaya.

The city was so deep that all the streets were submerged, and the soldiers and civilians of the city could only climb to the roofs of their houses in panic to escape the raging water.

Even in the high state capital, the water was knee-high, but the main hall was not flooded.

On the city wall, Liu Bao looked down at the ** of a city, and his towering body was already shocked and frightened, completely out of proportion.

Just now, he had just rekindled his pride, and tried in vain to rely on the fortified city to defend until Zhang Yuan's sharp spirit was exhausted and he retreated, and then took the opportunity to give Zhang Yuan a fatal blow.

In the blink of an eye, the surging flood in front of him completely shattered his wishful thinking.

The city is flooded, and it won't take long, but I'm afraid that if Zhang Jun doesn't attack, the city will be flooded, and under this terrifying blow, the people in the city must be panicked, how can they resist Zhang Yuan's attack.

"Hateful, am I going to die in the hands of Zhang Yuan's pawn, I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!" Liu Bao gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, extremely unwilling.

The left and right and even the inferior generals all looked gloomy and silent.

Even the title Rouge was also shocked and hated, scolding the sky, scolding Zhang Yuan for being vicious and deceitful, but he could only export evil anger from his mouth.

Cheng Chu looked at the vast water and was silent, as if he had reached this point, he was as resourceful as him, and there was no way to save the predicament.

In a gloomy and frightened atmosphere, he was silent, but suddenly said: "The lord doesn't have to be discouraged, it hasn't reached the point of exhaustion yet, I have a plan, and I will definitely solve the danger of Jin." ”

……

Before you know it, Jincheng has been soaked in water for five days.

Under the impact of the flood, the Jin city wall has begun to collapse in several places, Liu Bao commanded the soldiers and men, women and children in the city, carrying soil and stones, desperately trying to fill the block.

Under the flooding, Jincheng is like a stormy broken ship, as if it may sink at any time.

Liu Bao suffered from being immersed in water, but Zhang Yuan, who was outside the city, drank a little wine all day long, enjoying the free show of the flooded city with great interest.

What Zhang Yuan has to do now is to wait for the water to recede slightly, and take advantage of the collapse of the enemy city and low morale, attack on all fronts and break through Jincheng in one fell swoop.

On that day, the sun set, and the day's good show was over, Zhang Yuan drank the last sip of wine and returned to the camp.

Fang entered the big tent, and before he even sat down, a camp gate guard came and presented a letter, claiming that it was shot by a man in black with an arrow, and the envelope was named to be dedicated to Zhang Yuan.

"Men in black? Arrows? ”

Zhang Yuan was suspicious, and opened the anonymous letter, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

A moment later, Zu Di and Gao Gong and other civil and military officers had been summoned into the tent.

"Read this letter." Zhang Yuan showed the anonymous letter to everyone.

It was an anonymous letter, in which it claimed that Liu Bao had sent someone to ask Yuan Shu in Huainan for help in order to relieve the siege of Jin, and married his daughter Rouge to Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, and the two families married in exchange for Yuan Shu sending troops to help him relieve the siege of Jin.

Zu Di looked at the letter, his brows furrowed slightly, "Although Yuan Shu withdrew from the Shangdang army before, his strength is still strong, if he really sends troops to Jin and cooperates with Liu Baoli and the outside, let's not say that we will take Jin, but I am afraid that the situation will be a little dangerous." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at Gao Gong again, "Drunkard, what do you think?"

Gao Gong took a sip of wine, took the letter, and repeatedly looked at it in his hand for a long time, and said: "Liu Bao is at the end of his rope, and it is reasonable to ask Yuan Shu to send troops to rescue him by marriage, I don't doubt this drunkard, what makes me doubt is who is the person who wrote this anonymous letter, what is his purpose, and why did he disclose this information to us"

"The one who can know about this must be the people around Liu Bao, maybe someone under Liu Bao saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to betray him and take refuge in us, but they were afraid of leaking the news, so they had to report to us anonymously."

It was none other than Mrs. Fan Lihua who said this, and being able to have such insight couldn't help but make Zhang Yuan a little impressed.

"The mistress has a point." Zu Di nodded in agreement, but said worriedly: "I just don't know who this person is, his real purpose, whether he really wants to join us, or is this just Liu Bao in the old suspicions, there is another conspiracy in this, but what should it be?"

For a while, there were different opinions, some people said that this was a deliberate plan set up by Liu Bao, and some people thought that this was indeed someone under Liu Bao's command who wanted to surrender sincerely.

With just an anonymous letter, Zhang Yuan really couldn't determine anything, so he could only be suspicious, and ordered the scout to pay close attention to the movements in the direction of Huainan and see the situation.

A few days later, an urgent report sent back from Huainan corroborated what the anonymous letter said.

According to the information sent back by Xizuo, Yuan Shu ordered his son Yuan Yao to be the main general, and the general Ji Ling to be the deputy general, and led the 5,000 elite Huainan army to the north along Surabaya and approached Jin.

A few days later, the 5,000 Huainan army arrived ten miles south of Jin, set up camp, and put on a posture of attacking Zhang's army.

In order to prevent the threat of the Huainan army from the south, Zhang Yuan had to send another 4,000 soldiers and horses to the village five miles north of the Huainan army to monitor Yuan Yao's movements and protect the flank and rear of the Jin siege camp.

With these 4,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Yuan's soldiers and horses used to besiege Jincheng were reduced to more than 13,000 people, and the pressure on Liu Bao was naturally slightly reduced.

The Jin was soaked in water for many days, the flood water gradually receded, and the water level inside and outside the city gradually decreased, which also made the life of the soldiers and civilians in the city much better.

Zhang Yuan originally planned to launch a full-scale attack immediately after the flood waters completely receded, and the city of Jincheng, which would be soaked in water and seriously damaged, would be broken in one fell swoop.

However, the arrival of Yuan Yao's troops and horses made Zhang Yuan restrained and had to consider changing his tactics.

Just when Zhang Yuan was feeling a headache about this, that night, he received a second flying arrow message, which was still anonymous.

The letter said that in view of the previous collapse of Zhang Xun's department, Yuan Shu suspected that Liu Bao deliberately borrowed a knife to kill people, so he was quite dissatisfied with Liu Bao, although he agreed to Liu Bao's marriage request, but asked Liu Bao to send his daughter first, proving his sincerity, Yuan Shu would do his best to raise Huainan troops and come to relieve the siege of Jin.

As for the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Yuan Yao, they actually did not come to relieve the siege, but came to marry Liu Bao's daughter Lian Rouge.

In other words, Yuan Yao only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to pick up his bride, and Liu Bao had to break through the siege and send his daughter to Yuan Yao.

In order to ask Yuan Shu, Liu Bao had to agree to this harsh request, and agreed to escort his daughter to break through from the West Gate in three days, and he would definitely hand over the title rouge to Yuan Yao. (To be continued.) )
