Chapter 344: Zhou Yu may jump off the wall in a hurry
Twenty days later, Gao Shun's 100,000-strong army finally approached Hefei.
Xiaoyaojin.
Gan Ning and Gao Shun led dozens of Jinfan water thieves down the river in a light boat, inspecting the terrain on both sides of the river, Gan Ning pointed to the Jiangxin Island looming in the smoke and rain in front of him and said to Gao Shun: "General, the front is Xiaoyaojin." ”
"Hmm." Gao Shun said, "This is Xiaoyaojin?" ”
Gan Ning said: "There used to be a pontoon bridge on Xiaoyaojin, but now it is gone. ”
Gao Shun said: "This is also expected, the advantage of Eastern Wu is the water army, and the advantage of our army is the cavalry, of course the Wu army will dismantle the pontoon bridge and force our army to engage in a water war with which it is not good at." ”
Gan Ning said: "Zhou Yu, this guy is really sinister. ”
Gao Shun suddenly smiled and said lightly: "Although the navy is the advantage of the Wu army, it is also relative!" ”
Gan Ning said: "The general means ......"
Gao Shun said: "Although the Dongwu Navy is powerful, its main force is not in Shouchun or in Huaiyin to entangle with Chen Hu and Zhang Bao's Jiangxia thieves, and the Dongwu Navy guarding Xiaoyaojin will never exceed 2,000 people!" In terms of troops, it is on par with your Jinfan Navy, but in terms of the quality of soldiers, the Dongwu Navy, which is far worse than your Jinfan Navy. ”
"But." Gan Ning scratched his head and said, "The last general's navy doesn't have warships." ”
"Whoa." Gao Shun pouted at Xiaoyaojin and said, "Aren't there many warships moored in Xiaoyaojin's naval army? ”
"Hmm." Gan Ning nodded, "We have to find a way to snatch these warships." ”
Gao Shun said loudly: "Xingba, it is not difficult to snatch this batch of warships. ”
Gan Ning said: "General, tell the last general, what is the snatching method?" ”
Gao Shun said: "The Wu army divided the troops to hold Hefei, Xiaoyaojin, the two Wu armies are each other's horns, if our army attacks Hefei very urgently, then the Wu army of Xiaoyaojin will come to the rescue from the waterway, Xingba can lead two thousand water ghosts to lurk in the reeds by the river in advance, and when the Wu army is docked ashore and only a few soldiers are left to guard the ship, they will be able to kill the Wu army by surprise. ”
……
It's night, Hefei city.
Huang Gai, Huang Shan, father and son are patrolling the city under the support of more than a dozen personal soldiers, suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the north gate, and when they looked back urgently, they saw that the original dark wilderness had been lit with a little firelight, patronizing towards Hefei surging forward.
Looking at the huge momentum, there must be tens of thousands of people.
Some of the soldiers shouted: "General, enemy attack!" ”
"Hmm." Huang Gai said in a deep voice, "General Ben knew that the Liang army had already reached Hefei, but he didn't expect Gao Shun to attack the city overnight!" ”
Huang Shanshan took a step forward and asked, "Father, what now?" ”
Huang Gai drew his sword and shouted: "Order the whole army to drive to the city and prepare for battle!" ”
Huang Shandao said: "Father, do you want to send someone to General Ding Feng to report the urgency, so that the defenders of Xiaoyaojin can come to help in the battle?" ”
"Not for now." Huang Gai was a veteran of a hundred battles after all, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look at the offensive of the Liang army first, if the Liang army is just harassing and not attacking the city with all its might, there is no need to alarm the defenders of Xiaoyaojin." ”
"Yes, father." Huang Shant clenched his fists, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Don't go and gather the army yet, go quickly!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
More than a dozen pro-soldiers responded to the promise and took the order one after another.
When the Wu army woke up from sleep, dressed neatly and drove up to the city, the surging Xiliang army was also worthy of killing Hefei City, to Huang Gai's expectation, the Xiliang army launched a rapid attack on Hefei City from the beginning! Under the cover of night, the Xiliang army soon erected dozens of improvised pontoon bridges over the moat with ladders and planks.
Suddenly, hundreds of Xiliang soldiers have carried the ladder close to the Hefei city wall, rolling wood, rolling stones are mixed with dense arrows like rain, falling like rain from the head of Hefei city, the Liang soldiers under the city wall have no way to hide, and they fall down one by one, but the attack of the Liang army has not stopped because of this, and more soldiers are afraid of death to hug under the city wall.
Finally, more than a dozen ladders were erected, more than 100 Xiliang soldiers under the leadership of the leading colonel faced the rain of rolling logs, stones and sharp arrows, and climbed towards the head of Hefei with difficulty, the attack of the Liang army was very rapid, a pot of boiling oil poured down from the city, burning the foot of the city wall into a Shura purgatory, and failed to stop the attack of the Liang army.
In the head of Hefei City, Huang Gai obviously felt the pressure.
"Father!" Huang Shan stepped forward and shouted, "The offensive of the Liang army is very fierce, there are only 2,000 people in Hefei City, if there are no reinforcements to arrive, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold out until dawn!" ”
"Hmm." Huang Gai's eyes flashed, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Shan'er can quickly go to Xiaoyaojin Water Army Dazhai, and order Ding Feng to lead five thousand elite soldiers to help in the battle!" ”
"The child takes the command."
Huang Shank clenched his fists, turned and walked away quickly.
……
Xiaoyaojin, the water army Dazhai.
Ding Fengcong was awakened by the loud shouting and killing sound in his sleep, and when he came out of the village to inspect, he found that the killing sound outside the West Gate of Hefei shook the sky, and the burning fire had reflected half of the sky.
In the hurried and chaotic footsteps, more than a dozen naval generals came one after another.
"General, it looks like the Liang army is storming Hefei City."
"There are only 2,000 defenders in Hefei City, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it, do you send reinforcements immediately?"
"No!" Ding Feng said categorically, "Without General Huang's military order, you must not send troops without authorization." ”
"General Ding!" Ding Feng's voice fell, and a loud and rapid shout suddenly came from the front, "Where is General Ding Feng?" ”
"The end will be here!" Ding Feng shouted, "The person who came is General Huang Shan? ”
"It's the last general." Huang Shant greeted Ding Feng, clenched his fists and gasped, "On the orders of my father, please send reinforcements to the general." ”
"The last will be ordered!" Ding Feng suddenly agreed, turned around and shouted to the dozen or so generals of the navy behind him, "Ding Feng (Ding Feng's brother) led the troops and horses of the headquarters to stay in Dazhai, and the rest of the generals led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to quickly reinforce General Huang Lao. ”
"Yes!"
More than a dozen naval generals agreed with a bang.
……
Hefei has a total of four gates, the north, the west, the south gate all have land communication, only the east gate is built near the water, the east section of the city wall of Hefei city is several zhang deep into the water, almost built on the water surface, so only the water army can attack the east gate of Hefei from the water. Immediately adjacent to the east gate of Hefei is the ferry, on which hundreds of large and small warships are quietly moored, and there are two soldiers guarding the lookout.
Two other boats patrolled back and forth on the river not far away, and the nearest barracks to the ferry port was fifty paces away.
Outside the south gate of Hefei, the fire is soaring, the sound of killing is full of wilderness, but outside the east gate is ghostly silence, under the dark moonlight, a bare reed on the water surface suddenly no wind automatically, drifting away from the reeds, swaying leisurely to the watchtower on the right side of the ferry.
On the watchtower.
The two Wu soldiers were boredly searching the dark river around them, but they didn't expect that a black figure had climbed up the watchtower from behind, and the cold light flashed, and the Wu soldiers who were close to the Jinfan water thieves were cut off before they could make a sound.
Another Wu soldier heard the movement, just turned his head and felt a cold throat, and then a hideous face came into view, the Wu soldier was taken aback, and opened his mouth sharply and screamed, but unfortunately, there was only a trace of cooing in his ears, that ...... It was the sound of blood gushing out of the throat.
The Jinfan water thief sneaked into his hand, and when he put two fingers into his mouth, two mournful waterfowl cries sounded under the night sky in an instant.
"Whoa......
In the splashing sound, countless black figures appeared in the reeds on both sides of the ferry, and quickly swam towards the hundreds of warships moored on the ferry.
When a ship rushed to the bow of the ship, Gan Ning pulled his bow and arrows, and a brocade thief stepped forward and ignited the oil cloth wrapped in arrows, only to hear a buzzing sound, the rocket had already swept into the sky, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the dark sky, although hundreds of steps away were clearly visible.
……
Hefei North Gate.
With a long and desolate horn sound, the Xiliang army crowded under Hefei City suddenly retreated like a tide, Huang Gai breathed a long sigh of relief, and began to gasp violently with a long knife pillar, it was really thrilling just now, if Ding Feng's five thousand elite soldiers arrived a moment late, maybe Hefei City had been broken by Gao Shun.
"Old General." Ding Feng stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Huang Gai shook his hand and gasped, "General Ben is just getting older, and his strength is a little exhausted. ”
"Report ......" Huang Gai's voice fell, and suddenly a small colonel rushed up to the city tower, kneeling on the ground and said urgently, "General, something is wrong!" ”
"Hmm!" Huang Gai said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
The little colonel gasped and said, "Hundreds of large and small warships moored at the ferry outside the East Gate have been robbed!" ”
"What!?" Ding Feng was taken aback when he heard this, and shouted, "This is impossible!" Gan Ning's Jinfan Naval Army is fighting fiercely with General Jiang Qin's naval army in Huaiyin, except for Ganning's Jinfan Naval Army, there is no naval army in the Xiliang Army, just with the 100,000 landlubbers under Gao Shun, can you still rush across the river to snatch the warship? ”
The junior colonel said in a panic: "General, the warship has really been robbed!" ”
"It's broken!" Huang Gai said miserably, "It's the old man who was careless for a while!" Before leaving, the governor of Dadu repeatedly told the old man to beware of Gan Ning's Jinfan thief, but he didn't expect the old man to be negligent. ”
"Report the ......" Huang Gai's voice fell, and another small colonel rushed up to the city tower, kneeling on the ground and said urgently, "The fire is soaring in the direction of Xiaoyaojin, and the water army Dazhai is being attacked by the Liang army!" ”
"Old General." Ding Feng hurriedly said, "What now?" ”
Huang Gai looked up to the sky and sighed: "The warship was captured, and our army has been unable to rescue Xiaoyaojin, nor can we prevent the Gaoshun army from crossing the river north to Shouchun, alas, the old man is ashamed of the governor." ”
With that, Huang Gai suddenly drew his sword and swiped it on his neck like lightning.
When Ding Feng hurriedly stepped forward to grab Huang Gai's sword, it was too late, and he could only hold Huang Gai's body, and couldn't help but say miserably: "Old general......
……
Five days later, north of Shouchun City.
Ma Yue and Jia Xu, Li Su, Lu Su, Kuai Yue four people in Dian Wei and hundreds of iron cavalry under the escort of the horse slowly out of the battle, not far ahead, Lu Su, Kuai Yue responsible for the earthen platform has been built in half, higher than the Shouchun city wall a large section of the earthen platform is less than 50 zhang away from the head of Shouchun City, 2,000 Liang army archers on the earthen platform lined up into ten columns, is shooting with the Wu army archers at the head of Shouchun City.
Between the ten columns lined up by the archers, the endless stream of Xiliang soldiers is transporting baskets of soil to the top of the earth platform, and then dumping down in the direction of the head of Shouchun City, with each basket of soil falling, the earth platform under the feet of the Xiliang army will be irresistibly extended towards Shouchun City, and in the past twenty days, the Liang army has approached Shouchun City step by step by virtue of this seemingly clumsy but simply uncrackable trick.
Ma Yue said proudly: "It seems that Zhou Yu is really right for Zijing's soil and city reclamation technique, hehe." ”
Lu Su said: "Prime Minister must not underestimate Zhou Yu, Su can conclude that Zhou Yu must have a way to solve it." ”
Ma Yue asked rhetorically: "When Zijing and Zhou Yu argued, did Zhou Yu crack Zijing's technique of taking soil and filling the city?" ”
Lu Su shook his head and said: "Not at that time, but more than ten years have passed since the incident, and Gongjin must have come up with a solution to solve it." ”
"That's hard to say." Ma Yue said, "The method of taking the soil and filling the city is stupid enough, but it is stupid enough, it is almost impossible to crack it, in short, I can't think of a way to crack it, you may come up with a way to crack it?" ”
Jia Xu, Kuai Yue, Li Su and others shook their heads in unison.
Lu Su said: "But Su thinks that Gong Jin will be able to come up with a solution!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Ma Yue said indifferently, "As the so-called soldiers come to block, and water comes to flood, even if Zhou Yu breaks Zijing's technique of taking soil and filling the city, Lone has another way to defeat him." ”
"The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding?"
Lu Su whispered twice and fell into deep thought.
"Let's wait and see." Ma Yue said proudly, "Gu Du can't wait to see Zhou Yu's performance, I hope Mei Zhou Lang won't let Gu down, hehe." ”
"Report ......" Ma Yue's voice fell, and suddenly a fast horse galloped over, shouting loudly, "Lord, General Gao Shun is in a hurry!" ”
"Huh, Gao Shun?" Ma Yue's face was overjoyed, and he said sharply, "Speak!" ”
Came to ride the horse to stop, gasped: "Three days ago, General Gan Ning attacked Xiaoyaojin at night, broke the Dongwu naval army, the next said, General Gao Shun and General Gan Ning attacked Hefei from the land and water, and broken, the Eastern Wu guard Huang Gai committed suicide, Ding Feng, Huang Shan, the two generals of Gao Shun and Gan Ning each led the army along the water and land to Shouchun rushed, and in five days they could rush to Shouchun outside the city! ”
"Good!" Ma Yue struck the knot and said, "It's worthy of Gao Shun, hehe, he broke through Xiaoyaojin so quickly!" ”
"It's good now." Li Su and Jia Xu also high-fived each other, and said happily, "As long as General Gao Shun's trapping camp can arrive in time, even if Zhou Yu can break Zijing's technique of taking soil and filling the city, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold Shouchun!" ”
"Prime Minister!" Lu Su suddenly said, "Su thought of the possible solution that Gong Jin might take." ”
"Oh?" Ma Yue said, "Zi Jing come quickly." ”
Lu Su said: "Prime Minister Fang's sentence of 'water comes to the soil to flood' reminded Su, and Su thought that Gongjin was likely to lead water to soften and collapse the soil platform!" ”
"Divert water to flood Shouchun?" Ma Yue said awe-inspiringly, "If Zhou Yu wants to flood Shouchun, the lone army of 200,000 will certainly not escape, but won't the Wu army in Shouchun City also have to be drowned?" And the millions of people on the Huainan Plain, after the flood, what should Dongwu use to feed them? Sun Quan and Zhou Yu shouldn't do this, right? ”
"No, no, no." Lu Su shook his hand again and again, "The Wu army will not divert water to flood the entire Shouchun, let alone the entire Huainan Plain, they only need to dig a small hole in the Huai River embankment, because the water level of the Huai River is originally higher than the ground, so the water of the Huai River will rush down and collapse the soil platform!" Even if this small flood does not collapse the earthen platform, it will soften the entire earthen platform and become muddy, and once our army falls into it, it can only become a living target for the Wu army's archers. ”
"Hiss......" Ma Yue said in a lost voice, "the soil melts when it meets water, this is indeed a solution!" ”
"Alas!" Jia Xu suddenly slapped his head and said in horror, "Fortunately, Zijing reminded me in time, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable." ”
"Huh?" Ma Yue asked Jia Xu, "What did Wen He think of?" ”
"Uh......" Jia Xu hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it means that if it wasn't for Zijing's timely reminder, this time it is likely to be put in turn by Zhou Yu." ”
Ma Yue and Jia Xu have been embarrassed for many years, how can they not see that Jia Xu obviously didn't say anything, and immediately said to Lu Su and Kuai Yue: "This, this is just Zijing's speculation, Zhou Yu'er may not be able to think of it, Lone will no longer disturb Zijing and Xeno's work, you continue, hehe, Lone and the military advisor go around somewhere else." ”
Lu Su and Kuai Yue said: "In this way, send off the prime minister." ”
Ma Yue waved his hand and left with Jia Xu and Li Suze.
It wasn't until he was far away from Lu Su and Kuai Yue that Ma Yue asked in a low voice, "Wen He didn't seem to have anything to say just now?" ”
"My lord." Jia Xu's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Zijing said just now, which made Zai Xia think of an extremely terrifying possibility!" As long as Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are ruthless enough, this battle of Shouchun may not have to wait until June to enter Mei, and the Wu army will be able to wipe out the 200,000 cavalry army under the lord's account and the 100,000 elites under the command of General Gao Shun under Shouchun City! ”
"Huh?" Ma Yue was shocked and said, "Is this possible?" ”
Jia Xu said: "The lord is calm and don't be impatient, and listen to the details." ”
……
Shouchun City Head.
A gang leader army carrying two buckets of porridge just landed on the city, a canopy of arrows rain from dozens of zhang away from the earthen high platform condescendingly, the gang leader army was caught off guard, and suddenly several arrows in the body died, the two buckets of porridge on the shoulders also fell to the ground one after another, not far away two Wu soldiers hurriedly grabbed up, stretched out their hands to catch the barrel.
As soon as the two Wu soldiers stretched out their hands, they had to put down the shield on their heads, which completely exposed their entire bodies to the field of vision of the Liang Army archers.
"Instigation!"
Another dense rain of arrows came, and the two Wu soldiers fell in a pool of blood with several arrows in their bodies.
"Damn the Xiliang horse thief!" A Wu Jun colonel who was shrinking behind the battlements said a vicious spell twice, grabbed it and wanted to carry back the corpse of the fallen soldier, but he had just picked up the corpse of the soldier and had not had time to hide behind the battlement, and a strong Xiliang soldier had already appeared on the high platform opposite.
"Poof!"
The sharp iron arrow cluster easily cut through the scarf on Colonel Wu Jun's head and penetrated through his head!
"Uh......"
Colonel Wu Jun screamed miserably, turned his head with difficulty carrying the corpse of the soldier on his back, and finally glared viciously at the earthen high platform not far away, on the high platform, dozens of Liang Army archers were cheering around a strong Liang Army Colonel, Wu Jun Colonel fell on the head of the city, and his eyes were still open until death, which can be described as death.
……
Zhou Yu's military tent, Zhou Yu is discussing with Xu Shu, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun.
Taishi Ci hurriedly entered the big tent and said to Zhou Yu: "Governor Dadu, the high platform built by the Liang army to take soil is less than thirty zhang away from the head of Shouchun City, and the damn horse butcher has a lot of soldiers, so that tens of thousands of archers are divided into ten teams, and they take turns to climb the earth platform and release arrows condescendingly to the head of Shouchun City, and the soldiers guarding the head of the city are so pressed by the bows and arrows of the Liang army that they can't move, and now they can't even go up, and the soldiers are hungry!" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded and said indifferently, "The governor already knows. ”
"The Grand Duke!" Tai Shi Ci said hurriedly, "We must find a way to destroy the high platform of the Liang Army as soon as possible, otherwise Shouchun City will not be able to defend it!" ”
"General Taishi doesn't need to be in a hurry." Zhou Yu shook his hand and said, "The governor has already made arrangements, and the high platform of the Liang army can be destroyed without saying anything, the Liang army has been arrogant for a few days, and I also ask the general to pass on the military order of the governor on behalf of the general, so that the soldiers can hold on for a few more days." ”
"Hey."
Tai Shi Ci stomped his foot in annoyance and turned to leave.
Seeing Tai Shici's figure walking away, Xu Shu turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and asked faintly: "Does the Metropolitan Governor really have a solution to it?" ”
Zhou Yu's eyes showed a cold look, and instead of answering, he asked, "What does Yuan Zhi think?" ”
"Ugh." Xu Shu shook his head and sighed, "Although there is a solution to it, it is not easy to use. ”
"yes." Zhou Yu stood up, walked to the front of the tent with his hands in his hands, looked at the outside of the tent and sighed, "Until the last resort, this governor is really unwilling to do this." ”
"The Grand Duke!" Zhou Yu's voice fell, and suddenly a small school panicked into the account, kneeling on the ground and said, "Hefei urgent!" ”
"Hefei!?" Zhou Yu's heart jumped, and he said urgently, "Speak quickly!" ”
The junior colonel said in a trembling voice: "Three days ago, Hefei and Xiaoyaojin had already been lost, the old general Huang Gai committed suicide, Ding Feng and Huang Shan's were killed in battle, and the eight thousand defenders were wiped out!" Gao Shun's 100,000 army is rushing towards Shouchun from water and land, and the 8,000 forward iron cavalry led by Xu Chu, the fierce general of Xiliang, is only fifty miles away from Shouchun! ”
"Huh?"
Xu Shu, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun were shocked when they heard this, Zhou Yu's face also sank suddenly, and there was no sound for a long time, and the air in the big tent seemed to be frozen, so depressed that it was suffocating! After a long time, Zhou Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, his expression returned to the same as before, and he turned back to Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, you should go to Yanfengjin." ”
Lu Xun waved his hand and said solemnly: "The last general will take the order." ”
Seeing Lu Xun's figure go away, Zhou Yu sighed and said to Lu Meng: "Ziming, the next thing is to rely on the navy." ”
"Please rest assured." Lu Meng said solemnly, "Compared with cavalry battles and infantry battles, our army may not be as good as the Liang army, but in terms of water warfare, the Liang army is far behind!" ”
"Hmm." Zhou Yu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Ziming, go and prepare." ”
"The last will be retired."
Lu Meng waved his hand again and turned to leave.
Only then did Zhou Yu say to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, it's time to go to Duke Wu's Mansion now." ”
……
Ma Yue's military tent.
After listening to Jia Xu's speculation, Ma Yue said: "Wenhe is saying that it is really possible for Zhou Yu to dig up the Huai River embankment and flood Shouchun?" ”
Jia Xu said: "When the defeat of the Wu army is irretrievable, Zhou Yu is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry. ”
"Where does the water come from?" Li Su said, "Although the water level of the Huai River is slightly higher than the ground, it is not much higher." ”
Jia Xu asked rhetorically: "Didn't Ziyan hear Zijing say that the water level of the Huai River this year is lower than in previous years?" ”
Ma Yue said solemnly: "Zijing really said so. ”
"In fact, there was no major drought in the Dabie Mountains last year, but why is the water level low?" Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "There is only one possibility, that is, Wu Jun has impounded water in the cofferdam in the upper reaches of the Huai River. ”
"Cofferdam impoundment?" Li Su lost his voice and said, "How much labor does it have to be launched?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Could it be that Ziyan has forgotten the more than three million people who moved from Xuzhou to Huainan? ”
"Got it!" Li Su said awe-inspiringly, "I see. ”
"Zhou Yu is so calculating!" Ma Yue muttered, "This little white face has worked hard to move more than three million people from Xuzhou to Huainan, and it is really well-intentioned!" If the lonely Xiliang army is forced to retreat because it can't conquer Shouchun before the rainy season arrives, then as long as the grain is ripe this autumn, these more than 3 million people will be able to turn from a burden to a strong backing for Sun Wu! ”
"My lord is right." Li Su echoed, "As long as it stays up until autumn and the autumn grain of the more than three million people in Tuntian is mature, the Wu army can not only obtain sufficient soldiers, but also turn Huainan County into a super granary, providing a steady stream of military rations for the Wu army's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains!" ”
"That's just one of them." Ma Yue continued, "Zhou Yu's intentions don't stop there. ”
Jia Xu said: "When the defeat of the Wu army in Shouchun is decided, and it will definitely not be able to hold out until the rainy season comes, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will desperately dig up the cofferdam in the upper reaches of the Huai River and flood Shouchun!" When the flood broke the Huai River embankment and turned this depression into Zeguo, the 30,000 naval troops of Eastern Wu would pose a mortal threat to the army of the lord. ”
Ma Yue said: "If our army had been prepared, and the 30,000 naval army of Eastern Wu failed to turn defeat into victory and eliminate Gu's 200,000 army, this monstrous flood would also flood most of Huainan, and the more than 3 million people who moved to Huainan from Xuzhou would have no harvest, and Gu was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye in the face of millions of hungry people who were waiting to be fed!" Lone is bound to take out all the military rations to help the victims, once the military rations are reported, our army will lose the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue, this is the third! ”
"It's worthy of Zhou Yu." Li Sujie sighed, "This plan is interlocking, it can be described as seamless, especially what is especially powerful is that Zhou Yu made full use of the weakness of the lord's sympathy for the people to restrict our army, and the Wu army was already invincible before the battle, even if the lord and the military advisor saw through Zhou Yu's tricks, it seems that there is no way to solve it?" ”
"There's really no way to solve it." Ma Yue said, "However, will Zhou Yu really do this?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Lord, you must be on guard." ”
Ma Yue said: "Wen He thinks, how should our army respond?" ”
Jia Xu said: "If Zhou Yu really decides to flood Shouchun, he will definitely wait until General Gao Shun's army on the left also arrives at Shouchun City before making a move, that is to say, our army has at least two days to prepare!" The top priority is to transfer the grain and grass baggage to the high ground, and the action must be secretive, and it is best not to let the scouts of the Wu army find out! ”
……
Shouchun, Sun Quan's official residence.
Sun Quan turned his back to Zhou Yu and Xu Shu, and asked faintly after a while: "Is there really no other way besides?" ”
Zhou Yu said: "My lord, there is really no other way. ”
Sun Quan said: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? ”
"I've thought about it." Zhou Yu sighed and replied, "After this battle, the people of Huainan will inevitably regard our army as a flood beast, and it can be said that it will be difficult for the lord to set foot in Jiangbei again. ”
"Okay." Sun Quan muttered, "Gongjin just let it go, Lone fully supports you." ”
……
Yubellypu, Zhang Ren Daying.
Zhang Ren asked Wu Landao: "Has Cao Jun moved recently?" ”
Wu Lan said: "I am still building a plank road on the cliff on the right side of the river, it seems that Cao Ying is determined to bypass the post road on the left side of the river, and plans to dig a new plank road from the right side of the river into Sichuan." ”
"Still building a plank road?" Zhang Ren frowned and said, "This matter is a bit strange, if you want to build a plank road from Yiling to Yong'an, how can it take ten or eight years, really wait for Cao Ying to repair this plank road, I am afraid that even the daylily will be cold, and then before Cao Jun enters Sichuan, the prime minister's army should go out of Sichuan to kill Jingzhou." ”
Lei Tong said: "Could it be ...... Is this just Cao Ying's suspicious plan? ”
"It's definitely a suspicious tactic." Zhang Ren said categorically: "Is it like imitating Gao Zuming to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang?" But there is a Chencang trail in northern Sichuan that can go straight from Xichuan to Guanzhong, but there is no trail in this Padang that can go straight from Jingzhou to Xichuan, what does Cao Ying want to do? ”
Wu Lan said: "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, as long as we hold the Jiangzuo Post Road, even if we choke Cao Ying's throat, Cao Jun wants to enter Sichuan, it is wishful thinking." ”
"It's better to be careful." Zhang Ren thought about it and was still not at ease, and said to Lei Tong, "Lei Tong, you hurry back to Yong'an, and report General Zhang Xiu's speculation and worries to General Zhang Xiu and Lord Zhang Song." ”
"Yes."
Lei Tong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the order.
……
Deep in Wushan.
Seeing that the road ahead is becoming flatter and more spacious, Cao Ying couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, looking back leisurely, only to see the mountains behind him, white clouds, and the sheep intestine bird road that he walked when he came was like a ribbon floating in the air, floating between the mountains and mountains, which made people's hearts palpitate.
"Lord!" Zhang He rode his horse behind Cao Ying and said loudly, "The road is not far ahead." ”
"Ugh." The expression on Cao Ying's face was not happy but sad, and he sighed with some concern, "It's a pity that 8,000 loyal and brave soldiers have been sleeping in this mountain for a long time." ”
Cao Zhence immediately stepped forward and comforted: "Father's Day mourning, these 8,000 soldiers will never die in vain." ”
"Hmm." Cao Ying nodded and said sharply, "Take a guide." ”
"With a guide."
Cao Zhen turned around and shouted, a soldier had already escorted a middle-aged man with a roe head and a rat to Cao Ying, Cao Ying glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, and asked, "Zhu Laosi, what kind of place is this?" ”
Zhu Laosi hurriedly said: "If you go back to your lordship, this is Yunxi Shop, and Wuzhen is not far ahead." ”
Cao Ying said: "How far is it from Yong'an?" ”
Niu Laosi said: "About two hundred miles." ”
"Where's the fish belly?"
"More than 100 miles."
"Good!" Cao Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned back to Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, give the order." ”
"Hmm." Zhuge Liang nodded and shouted, "Wei Yan listens to orders." ”
Wei Yan hurriedly stepped forward and responded with his fists clenched: "The end will be." ”
