Chapter 165: Calculation Resumes

After Zhang Shide was taken down, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at all the civil and military personnel in the tent, and asked solemnly: "At present, the military rations are less than ten days' consumption, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ā€

As soon as this question came out, everyone pondered for a long time and did not answer for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite impatient in his heart, and immediately asked: "Since our army is short of food and grass, my lord plans to return to Zhenjiang Mansion first, and then come to a decisive battle with the Wu army after recuperation!" ā€

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ji immediately objected: "Yue Guogong, this move is not allowed!" The Wu army has been hit hard repeatedly, the sharpness has been lost, the army is dominated by generals, and the army has no fighting spirit if the general declines, and our army is now besieging Wujin City and has the upper hand, how can it be easy to withdraw the army? Yue Guogong should take advantage of the fact that the morale of the Wu army has not yet recovered, and quickly fight a decisive battle with the Wu army! ā€

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to withdraw his army like this in his heart, but there was not much food and grass left in his army, and the Wu army couldn't hold out, so how easy was it to quickly fight a decisive battle with the Wu army?

Liu Ji noticed the complicated look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, brushed the thoughts in his head, and said loudly: "Yue Guogong, if you transport grain from Yingtianfu or Zhenjiang Mansion at the moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to quench your thirst from far water, our army has controlled many places in Changzhou Prefecture, and grain can be collected from various villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Changzhou Prefecture, so that the matter of grain and grass can be temporarily alleviated!" ā€

Speaking of this, Liu Ji paused slightly, and then added: "In recent days, there have been heavy rains, and the water level of the river is high. ā€

"The water surface is rising..."Zhu Yuanzhang muttered, his eyes suddenly burst into brilliant light, and he exclaimed: "Berwyn's plan, is it to divert the water of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal into the moat, so as to flood the city of Wu?" ā€

Liu Ji stroked his beard and smiled, and said with a heavy bow: "Yue Guogong is really wise, and his subordinates are exactly what they mean!" ā€

As soon as this statement came out, all the people in the account changed color together, and the plan of flooding Wujin can be described as extremely vicious, if the strategy is successful, although the city can be broken with the help of the water, but the people in Wujin City will definitely be killed and injured countless because of the flood!

Just when the generals in the tent were full of thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly got up and smiled ecstatically: "Hahaha, Berwyn's plan is really wonderful, and it should be implemented!! ā€

Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind, and immediately followed Liu Ji's strategy and ordered the whole army to open an embankment and release water into the Wujin moat at the upper reaches of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Of course, Zhu Jun's actions could not be concealed from Wu Jun's meticulous work, and when he heard Wu Jun's meticulous return, Ye Dexin hurriedly admonished Deng Yu: "King Wu, once Zhu Jun's plan to flood Wu into the city is successful, our army and the people in the city will be wiped out, and King Wu must not allow Zhu Jun to lead the water of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal into the moat, and should stop it at all costs!" ā€

As soon as Ye Dexin's voice fell, Lu Zhen also persuaded him: "King Wu, what Ye Shangshu said is reasonable, the matter has come to this point, if our army sits and waits for death, just waiting for reinforcements to come to the rescue, I am afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, Wujin City will be lost!" ā€

The endless crisis filled Deng Yue's whole body in an instant, and Deng Yue felt this sense of crisis for the first time since he crossed over.

Deng Yue suddenly came back to his senses, he was already shocked into a cold sweat, at this moment, Deng Yu could not be allowed to hesitate for a moment, only to see Deng Yu clenched his fists and asked: "As the two of you said, if you don't fight to the death at the moment, we will definitely die, I don't know if the two of you can deal with it?" ā€

Ye Dexin's eyes were like torches, and after a moment of contemplation, he replied: "King Wu can send an elite army to attack the Zhu army camp tomorrow, this is just a bluff, there is no need to sacrifice his life to fight." If Liu Ji sees that the camp is secretly attacked, he will definitely send troops and horses to rescue, and immediately King Wu will lead most of the men and horses to kill the Zhu army to the water diversion place, and force the Zhu army into the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in one fell swoop, so that the current crisis can be solved! ā€

Ye Dexin offered another clever plan, Deng Yu agreed with it after hearing it, and immediately ordered the generals to prepare, but Wu Jun's careful work could detect Zhu Jun's movements, and in the same way, Wu Jun's movements were inevitably detected by Zhu Jun's careful work.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's big tent of the Chinese army, although the time had reached the third watch at night, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Ji had not yet fallen asleep.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask suspiciously: "Berwin, in your opinion, is this information credible?" ā€

Liu Ji stroked his beard and replied quite affirmatively: "My subordinates think that this information is eighty percent credible!" ā€

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he hesitated a little in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes burst into a fierce light, and he said with a smile: "This is a heaven-sent opportunity to destroy Deng Yu, don't give it up!" At present, the war is tight, once the reinforcements of the Wu army arrive, if our army wants to kill Deng Yu, it will undoubtedly be difficult to ascend to the sky. ā€

Liu Ji suddenly showed a bright smile, and said in a condensed voice: "Since Yue Guogong intends to fight, his subordinates have a plan to make Deng Yu die without a place to be buried!" ā€

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely excited, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, there is such a clever plan?" Come on! ā€

Liu Ji whispered in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear and said this and so, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again and again after hearing it, and praised Liu Ji's plan.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang made another arrangement overnight in accordance with Liu Ji's strategy, and the generals of each department were ordered, and secretly made another deployment.

The night passed quickly, and as soon as the sky was bright, Dong Qing and Gao Lan led two thousand soldiers and horses out of the city and rushed straight to Zhu's army.

Wu Jun led troops to raid Zhu Jun's Dazhai, and soon a spy reported to Liu Ji, Liu Ji heard the news, smiled brightly, and ordered Zhu soldiers to slowly withdraw from the embankment of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, pretending to be panicked and disorderly on the surface, but secretly the soldiers and horses were ready to fight at any time.

It didn't take long for Dong Qing and Gao Lan to lead the army to kill the Zhu army Dazhai, beating drums and shouting to kill the heavens and the earth, and the Zhu army Dazhai suddenly panicked.

Dong Qing looked at the chaos of Zhu Jun's Dazhai with a cold eye, and did not send soldiers and horses into the village to fight, but only let the soldiers beat the war drums, neigh, shout, and bluff.

For a time, the shouts of the Wu army spread for several miles in the surrounding area, and Liu Ji got a report from the scouts, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he ordered the rear army to retreat in a panic.

As soon as Liu Ji gave the order, on the embankment of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, a group of Zhu sergeants looked anxious and hugged each other to escape from the canal embankment.

Deng Yu, who entered the city, saw this scene, and his heart was suddenly happy, and he immediately rushed down to the city, led the five thousand elite soldiers who had been preparing for the war for a long time to leave the city quickly, and looked directly at the panicked Zhu army tide by the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Deng Yu took the lead, whipped and galloped, a pair of majestic eyes stared at Liu Ji who was located in the Chinese army, Liu Ji saw Deng Yu killing, hurriedly pulled out his horse and retreated to a hillside, and shouted: "The Wu army is shameless and sneak attacked, and the soldiers of all departments immediately prepare to meet the enemy!" ā€

Liu Ji shouted loudly, but at this time the scene was chaotic, and he couldn't drink at all, Deng Yue saw this, his heart moved, he threw his horsewhip violently, and crashed into the tide of Zhu soldiers, rushed left and right, and killed Liu Ji directly.

It didn't take long for the 5,000 elite soldiers led by Deng Yu to arrive, and they saw that their king was so brave and their morale was high, and they charged bravely, killing the Zhu army in front of them in defeat and retreating, and approaching the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
