Hearing Liu Yuan's order, the heralds hurriedly took action. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Quick, cut the rope."

"The lord has an order to cut the rope."

On the battlefield, the allied soldiers swarmed up, slashing through the chaos with their blades, wielding their blades to slash at the ropes of each crossbow arrow.

"Not good!" Meng Yi exclaimed, these crossbow arrows were not easy to make, and he hurriedly ordered again: "Hurry, hurry up and take back the crossbow arrows." ”

The crossbowmen shook quickly, and the crossbow arrows under the castle tower were quickly dragged backwards. However, even so, several crossbow arrows were cut by the coalition forces and stayed.

"Give the order to withdraw the troops. It's enough to be able to harvest crossbow arrows, and there's no point in continuing to attack. Zhang Liang said.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan also echoed in agreement: "Yes, you can withdraw your troops." ”

Wei Bao looked at Daliang City, although he was reluctant, he still ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. This time it was originally a temptation, and you can accept it when you see it.

The coalition forces quickly withdrew, and the captured crossbow arrows were carried back to Qingmang Mountain by the soldiers. The Qin army lost the crossbow arrows, and they were also deplored, and Meng Yi hurriedly gathered craftsmen to make them again.

When I returned to Qingmang Mountain, it happened to rain in spring, and the rain was quite heavy, and the soldiers were drenched in an instant. The rain rained incessantly, falling on the mountains and converging into streams towards the foot of the mountains.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, this kind of rain is what the people are happy about, Liu Yuan stopped and looked outside the house, and said to himself: "Pei County is also the time for spring harvest." ”

"The lord is homesick?" Xiao He said with a smile.

"Although I have ambitions in all directions, it is inevitable that I sometimes miss my relatives." Liu Yuan also generously admitted.

"If we can repel the child this time, my Peijun can also return home." Xiao He also said with emotion, after going on the expedition for so long, the soldiers were also a little tired, and nostalgia crept into their hearts.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, Liu Yuan glanced at Xiao He, "Go out and have a look." ”

"I'm really in a hurry to see my lord!" A man braved the rain to break into Liu Yuan's thatched hut.

"How can you trespass on the Lord's premises?" Several guards scolded, "Don't you retreat? ”

"Lord, lord......" The man shouted loudly as he broke free from his guards.

"Hold on!" One of the tun chiefs was furious and shouted mercilessly.

Liu Yuan and Xiao He had already walked out at this time, and when they saw this scene, Liu Yuan scolded with his hands: "What's so noisy? Where is the military discipline and military discipline? ”

The tun chief's heart trembled, and he glared fiercely at the detained man, and then he hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "The lord is angry. It was all caused by this soldier's forcible incursion, and I was about to take him down and punish him. ”

Liu Yuan looked at the man, this person was delicate, the armor on his body was already soaked, his hair had been scattered in a struggle, and the rain was still washing him.

Seeing Liu Yuan looking at him, the man shouted again: "Lord, Han Xin has a plan to break the enemy!" ”

"Han Xin?" Liu Yuan's pupils tightened, his heart was turbulent, and he asked with anticipation in his voice: "Are you a Huaiyin person?" ”

"Back to the lord, Han Xin is the Huaiyin clan. Previously, he defected to Pengcheng with his fellow villagers and joined the public army. Han Xin didn't expect Liu Yuan to know his origin, so he nodded and replied.

"Whew!"

Liu Yuan exhaled deeply, that's right, this person is one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty in history. Liu Yuan smiled, it was really effortless, he also didn't expect that Han Xin had always been in his army. Liu Yuan walked over and let the rain hit him, but his face still couldn't hide his joy.

Xiao He didn't know why Liu Yuan was like this, and the tun chief was even more inexplicable. When he arrived in front of Han Xin, Liu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "You just said that there is a plan to break the enemy?" ”

"Exactly!" Han Xin heard the question and said in a deep voice.

"Let's go into the house with me." Liu Yuan knew that Han Xin would not speak wildly, and he must have a strategy to break the enemy.

So, under the puzzled eyes of the guards, Han Xin entered the house with Liu Yuan and Xiao He. "Lord, do you want to change your clothes first?" Seeing that Liu Yuan was also wet from the rain, Xiao He said in a low voice.

Liu Yuan waved his hand, and Lang Lang said, "No, this little rain can't hurt you." Sit it all! Immediately, he finally asked, "Han Xin, what is your plan?" ”

Han Xin reached out and touched a handful of hair, then spread his palm, it was full of rain, and he replied, "This is the plan for flooding." ”

"Flooding?" Liu Yuan groaned softly, pondering.

"Lord, when the Qin State attacked Wei, the Qin general Wang Ben attacked the Liang for a long time, and finally he ordered the Qin army to repair the ditch, leading the water of the chasm to flood the Liang for three months, and finally broke the city and destroyed Wei." Han Xin said eloquently, obviously very familiar. "My lord, please look at the map." As he spoke, Han Xin took out a scroll of animal skin maps from his arms.

Liu Yuan was shocked: "This map was drawn by you?" ”

"Returning to the lord, I often read the book of war, and knew the importance of this map, so whenever I went to a place, I recorded the terrain I saw in the animal skin." Han Shin explained.

Liu Yuan suddenly discovered that the reason why Han Xin was good at supporting troops was inseparable from his hard work. "Do you mean to let my military scholar Wang Ben open a canal to divert water?"

"Lord, this Daliang City is very low, and the surrounding water network is dense, which is most suitable for flooding. Of course, it took time and effort to open the ditch, but fortunately, the ditch built by Wang Ben still exists. The corners of Han Xin's mouth rose slightly, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Xiao He were also shocked, after all these years, Wang Ben's ditch still exists? If this were the case, it would save the coalition a lot of time and manpower. Liu Yuan knew the importance of this ditch, and he immediately asked, "Han Xin, where is that ditch?" ”

"It's at the foot of Qingmang Mountain." Han Xin replied firmly, "My lord, I went out of the camp to check just now, and the rainwater in the mountains has all flowed into the ditch under the mountain and flowed in the direction of the girder. There is a ditch at the foot of this mountain, and the letter is puzzled, there is no fertile land in this mountain to irrigate, who will build a ditch here? It rained heavily today, and the letter came to understand. ”

"Quick, order someone to go upstream along the ditch to find out where this ditch is connected?" Out of caution, Liu Yuan immediately sent someone to investigate.

When a team of guards heard the order, they braved the rain to leave the camp, and then probed along the ditch at the foot of the mountain in the opposite direction of Daliang City.

After about half a day, these guards returned, and the tun chief did not care about wiping the rainwater, and hurriedly reported: "My lord, the upstream of this ditch is quite close to the chasm, and when I look ahead, it seems that there are faint traces of connection with the chasm. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan had a bottom in his heart, and sure enough, as Han Xin speculated, the ditch at the foot of the mountain should have been built by Wang Ben back then.

"Flooding is a feasible solution!" Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Han Xin, Xiao Xiancheng, follow me to the lobby, this beam can be broken." ”

Thank you Qifeng, the presidium, and the reward without a bad temper. (To be continued.) )
