The place where the grain was exchanged. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A large number of soldiers were stationed here, distributing the food and money they had hoarded there.

Because there were soldiers to maintain order, there was no confusion among the people.

Liu Xuan took Guo Jia and patrolled around.

Guo Jia watched hundreds of people happily transporting sand and soil, and watched hundreds of people take away food and money with smiles on their faces, and said: "Your Highness, in just three days, 900 million yuan has been consumed, and more than 10,000 stones have been used for food!" ”

Liu Xuan said: "Expected. ”

Guo Jia continued: "The most important thing is that after the news spread that carrying sand and soil could be exchanged for money, the people of Pingyuan County were excited, and they were all rushing towards Pingyuan City. The more time passes, the more people gather, the more food and money will be consumed, and the burden will be great. ”

Guo Jia is also a little worried about the burden of food and money.

Liu Xuan smiled and didn't care.

He can afford such attrition.

Liu Xuan said confidently: "Now that the autumn harvest has just begun, our food is not a problem. As for the money, the rear can keep up. Brother, you see, with the help of the people, in just three days, the rudiments of the embankment have been laid. ”

"The width of the embankment is nearly seven zhang, and if such a wide embankment is built, if it rains heavily and the river rises upstream, the surrounding city of the plains will surely fall into a quagmire."

When it comes to heavy rain, Liu Xuan is full of expectations.

The embankment was built to wait for the heavy rain to come.

Liu Xuan continued: "The terrain of Pingyuan City is high in the north and low in the south, while the surrounding area of Pingyuan City is relatively flat. Once the river swells, the dikes built will become a sharp weapon for siege. Break the city without spending a single soldier, brother, what is not worth it? ”

"Although Jia Junshi's strategy is overbearing, it also has enough benefits."

"First, in a way, it's hiding the wealth from the people. By building dikes, people can earn money to support their families. ”

"Second, build dams to win over the hearts and minds of the people. Tens of thousands of people come and go, word of mouth, and when the people know about me, their impression of me must have changed greatly. ”

"Third, weaken Liu Bei's influence."

Liu Xuan's eyes looked forward to it, and said: "All kinds of benefits are innumerable. Why not do such a good thing? ”

Guo Jia smiled: "That's really good. Jia Junshi's strategy is extremely powerful. ”

Liu Xuan said: "You are not far behind!" ”

Guo Jia smiled, looking confident.

Jia Xu has Jia Xu's means, and he Guo Jia also has his own strategy, each with his own strengths.

The two of them made a round and went back to the camp.

Since the construction of the embankment began, Liu Xuan has moved the army's battalion to camp outside the city to facilitate management. At the same time, it can also respond at any time to avoid the levee being attacked by Liu Bei.

……

On the city tower, Liu Bei and Tian Feng looked out of the city, their eyes solemn.

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Mr. Yuan Hao, the road built outside is almost the width of a city tower. Liu Xuan built the road, could it be that he planned to use catapults to bomb the city tower? ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "It's not like it!" ”

Liu Bei said: "What is that?" ”

The expression in Tian Feng's eyes was obscure, but he was silent, and gradually, Tian Feng's expression became even more solemn.

Liu Bei was good at observing words and feelings, and asked, "What did Mr. Yuan Hao think of?" ”

Tian Feng said: "Liu Xuan may have built a dam. ”

"Levee?"

Liu Bei didn't understand and asked, "What did Liu Xuan do when he built the embankment?" ”

Tian Feng said: "Flooded Plains City. ”

Liu Bei's body stiffened, but the next moment, he laughed, and his face showed a look of disbelief, and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao, how is this possible?" I don't believe it. Although the terrain of Plains City is high in the north and low in the south, the rivers around Plains City are not turbulent. Even if Liu Xuan built a dam upstream, and then dug the dam to release water, it would not be possible to flood Pingyuan City. ”

Tian Feng said: "What if it rains heavily? ”

Liu Bei said: "Impossible! ”

At this time, Liu Bei's heart was a little shaken. Changes in the heavens cannot be measured by common sense.

Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "The celestial phenomena are not unpredictable, and Liu Xuan can't be measured by common sense, and there are more people under him who can make good decisions." Liu Xuan dared to do this, so naturally there was a way to divert water. Whether it will wait for heavy rain or burst the levee to release water, we can't speculate, but we can be sure that the role of the levee is definitely to flood the plain city. ”

Liu Bei said: "Then what should we do? ”

Tian Feng said: "If you defend it for a long time, you will lose, and the best way is to break through the siege immediately and withdraw from Pingyuan City." As long as Xuande Gong gives up, all problems can be solved. ”

"Impossible!"

Liu Bei didn't even think about it, and refused directly.

Once he withdrew from Pingyuan City, he would take Tian Feng to Yuan Shao's command and send people to the fence again. And he stayed in Plains City with his soldiers, and there was still a glimmer of hope. Even if there was only the slightest chance to hold the Plains City, Liu Bei would not let it go.

Liu Bei said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, what strategy can you hold on to Pingyuan City?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head and sighed: "Liu Xuan's plan can be called a yang plan, and it is upright. What can you do if someone builds a dam in front of you? ”

"Your troops are insufficient, and your combat effectiveness is not as good as Liu Xuan's elite, so it is impossible for you to go out of the city to meet the battle."

"Assuming that the army goes out of the city, it will be attacked by Liu Xuan's army."

"At the moment, there's no way to crack it. At most, the soldiers on the tower of the castle were to use catapults to throw stones at them to slow down the construction of the embankment, but the length of the embankment stretched for several kilometers in the southern part of the city, and even if the catapult was used, it would not be of much use. ”

Tian Feng said: "Even, there are a number of equipment used for defense in the city. Use a little, a little less. Attacking Liu Xuan at this time is not the most appropriate time. ”

Liu Bei clenched his fists, with an unwilling look on his face, and said, "Could it be that you just watch it like this?" ”

Tian Feng thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is no way. ”

Liu Bei said: "What way?" ”

As soon as he heard Tian Feng say that there was still a plan, Liu Bei's heart immediately gave birth to hope.

Tian Feng replied: "Xuan Degong is unwilling to retreat, so make preparations in advance and send soldiers to prepare rafts and boats in the city. As soon as the water level rose, Xuande Gong sent soldiers to attack by boat, capture a location, and dig a dam built by Liu Xuan to release water. As long as the embankment did not cause the water level to rise and the city was not flooded, the embankment built by Liu Xuan was useless. ”

"Clever plan, this is to prevent problems before they happen, and prepare early." Liu Bei had a bright smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Thank you, sir, I'll go and prepare." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei hurried down the city tower.

Tian Feng looked at Liu Bei's departing back and sighed lightly. Can he think of attacking the embankment, and Liu Xuan can't think of defense? Pingyuan City is a lonely city, and if Liu Bei does not withdraw, he has fallen behind.

In this case, just thinking about waiting for Liu Xuan to hold on and retreat is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Fight, you can't win Liu Xuan.

Guard, can't hold the plain.

This battle is too difficult.

Tian Feng turned his head to look at the hot scene outside the city, with mixed emotions in his heart. He was originally a talented person with a very high vision, but the scene in front of him made him feel helpless.
