Chapter 462: Suicide note

Liu Zhang frowned and looked ahead for a long time, the trees moved slightly, the river flowed slowly, and said to Wang Xu on the side: "Military advisor, Benhou is sure that Zhuge Liang has premeditated now, and we can't march so smoothly." ”

Gao Pei said disapprerovingly: "Lord, I think you think Zhuge Liang is too godly, he is not a person, besides, even if he is a monster, we have heavy cavalry, and now most of the cavalry are equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, equipped with throwing guns, what can he do?" No matter how resourceful he is, he must be able to beat us. ”

"That's it, that's it." The generals chimed in.

Wang Xu didn't say a word, and a sentry rode from a distance.

"Report to the lord, military division, we investigate the enemy's situation, the water level in Jingshui in front has dropped, there are obvious traces of moisture, and the upstream must be intercepted."

The generals looked at each other and discussed, Huang Zhong said: "I thought that Zhuge Villager could come up with some clever plan, but it turned out that it took so much effort to flood and get an axe in front of the military advisor." ”

Wang Xu ordered: "General Gao Pei, immediately lead the troops to the upper reaches of Jingshui, but if you encounter the Liang army, you will be killed." ”

"Yes."

Now the weather in May, the seasonal rain has not yet arrived, and the river water is scarce, unless Zhuge Liang's head is rusty, how can he use river water like Jingshui to flood the more than 200,000 troops of the Sichuan army, Wang Xu will not believe that the Liang army intercepted the flow for flooding.

After a while, I only heard the sound of "rumbling" exploding like a huge thunder, and then the soldiers of the Sichuan army saw the torrential waves in the upper reaches of Jingshui, and Gao Pei ran back with a rolling belt.

"The military advisor, those eight lambs, broke the embankment ahead of schedule. Almost drowned Lao Tzu. ”

Wang Xu ordered the soldiers to stand back. In fact, it is also redundant. Looking at the amount of water that broke the embankment, Zhuge Liang had been storing the flood for more than a month, but in front of the Sichuan army was a flat river, and it was all loose soil that absorbed water, and the flood washed down, and the momentum quickly slowed down.

After rushing for half a day, the flood has subsided, and the upstream is going down the hill. Trees that have been swept away by the flood are everywhere, and the river below flows slowly through the bushes, washing the leaves of the new shrubs in the spring.

"Ben Hou seems to understand what Zhuge Liang meant." Liu Zhang frowned and said: "In the Yongbei area, the desertification is serious, especially here facing the Qinchuan crossing, the mountain wind is extremely strong, and the strong wind blows for many years, so that the soil is not sticky, and the flood washes away, and immediately forms a mud. It was difficult for the cavalry to pass.

And when the flood dries up, the rain of the new season comes. If Zhuge Liang sends troops to defend the east bank of Jingshui, our army will attack from the quagmire, and it will be difficult to fly across, which is a natural barrier lent to Zhuge Liang by God.

Although the Qinchuan Road is dangerous, our army has a barbarian army to attack the mountain, it is better than this quagmire, so that at least delay our army for more than a month, if it rains a lot this summer, we will not be able to cross the Jingshui, Zhuge Liang uses the dozen Dazhai, is to wait for the rainy season. ”

"What a sinister intention." I took a cool breath.

"This demon is so vicious, my Wang Shuangzhen wants to slash him with a knife."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Wang Xu suddenly said loudly: "What the lord said is right, Zhuge Liang held on to the street pavilion for half a month, and used more than a dozen Dazhai to delay time, but the danger of the Qinchuan crossing was almost not used, just waiting for this moment."

But what Zhuge Liang wants is probably not to delay us, but to eliminate us. ”

Wang Xu glanced at the sun with a halo in the sky, and his head was a little dizzy, "Now it is the poisonous month of May, the epidemic is rampant, my lord, look at this mountain forest, the trees are dense, and the fallen leaves are very deep, if our army is camped here, a little negligence, once the fire starts, my army of more than 200,000 will be wiped out." ”

Liu Zhang's heart jumped, Wang Xu's words suddenly reminded him of Lu Xun's battle against Liu Bei, almost exactly the same as the current Zhuge Liang, first took the initiative to give up important cities, and then set up a fortress step by step, delaying the march of Liu Bei's army, and finally waited until the hot August, burning Liu Bei's 700,000 army in one fell swoop.

Now I am in May, not August, but the north is different from the south, and the south is the most humid in May, and it is difficult to catch fire.

And the May in the north is very dry, this Qinchuan crossing, full of dense forests, deep fallen leaves, are a little bit, especially here the terrain is higher, the wind blowing from the northwest just passes through here, blowing to the land of Guanzhong, the fire borrows the wind, once the fire starts, the fire burns the camp, and the gods can't save themselves.

Liu Zhang was afraid for a while, Zhuge Liang was really a demon, if it wasn't for Wang Xu's reminder, he would almost be immersed in his own judgment, thinking that Zhuge Liang was just going to delay his march, and when the time came, the three armies would be buried in the fire, and he would regret it.

"What is the strategy of the military advisor?"

The mountain breeze blew, Wang Xu coughed violently, held the handkerchief in the palm of his hand, smiled weakly, and said a little hoarsely: "Don't worry, the lord, since you know Zhuge Liang's intentions, there is a way to break him." ”

……………………

Sure enough, as Wang Xu expected, just after the flood, Zhuge Liang's army turned back, camped on the east bank of Jingshui, and strictly guarded the Sichuan army from crossing the river, Wang Xu ordered the Sichuan army to disperse and camp, each camp tent must be spaced 30 steps apart, and each camp soldier, if there is no shift task, must clean up the fallen leaves and fire within a range of 15 steps every day.

The Sichuan army sent soldiers to carry stones and build bridges and pave roads in the flooded area, so that even when the rainy season came, the cavalry could gallop smoothly and cross the Jingshui in one fell swoop.

Of course, the Liang soldiers would not let the Sichuan army get their wish, and repeatedly sent archers to harass the paving, and the two sides carried out countless skirmishes around the paving.

The Liang soldiers interfered with the paving of the road during the day, and mixed Jingshui at night, trying to burn down the Sichuan army camp, but the Sichuan army camp had already been prepared, and Wang Xu patrolled every day, and the Liang army repeatedly went empty.

The light rain was dripping down, the paving continued, Wang Xu inspected the barracks in the rain, returned to the big tent, and the soldiers collected the umbrella and guarded the door, Wang Xu just pulled down the tent curtain, sat down on the ground at once, coughed violently, his voice was hoarse, and his whole body was weak.

Just two days after arriving in Jingshui, there was only an occasional cough, since it began to rain, the rain in May was the most gloomy, coupled with the fact that the wind in the wilderness of this place was very strong, Wang Xu inspected the barracks every day, and his condition became more and more serious, and once he got sick, he felt like he was going to collapse.

The sound of footsteps outside, Wang Xu struggled to get up, put away the hand towel, and sat on the seat, Liu Zhang walked in from outside, saw Wang Xu's pale face, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Sir, you're not feeling well?"

Wang Xu shook his head: "Lord, I'm okay, today I went to check the barracks, the soldiers did a good job of fire prevention, but I found another problem, there are a lot of fallen leaves here, after the rain, the epidemic is very heavy, plus the wind is strong, and it is the time of the change of season, many soldiers are sick."

When the season changes, the cold is the most contagious, the lord needs to do a good job of prevention, mobilize more herbs from the rear, Wang Xu is now writing a few military orders, prohibiting drinking raw water, eating raw food, and not picking up the dead bodies of animals in the forest, otherwise the injury and disease attrition will be very serious......"

"Sir, don't say it." Liu Zhang looked at Wang Xu's pale and weak appearance, and frowned: "I think Mr. is the most sick person, and I blame him, knowing that Mr. is seriously ill, he also let Mr. run all the way with the army to this ghost place." ”

"Don't worry, lord, my own body knows that I will definitely be able to defeat Zhuge Liang."

In fact, Wang Xu knew in his heart that his body was not so optimistic, he was originally seriously ill, and the cold wind blew in Xiqiang for a year.

After the rain, the wind was even more cold, as if he had brought a sword, and it was mixed with the miasma of accumulated leaves soaked in rain, and he inspected the barracks every day, which was related to more than 200,000 troops, Wang Xu was really not at ease if he did not personally inspect it, so that his condition deteriorated every day.

Wang Xu knew that he would not last long, but the more this was the case, the more Wang Xu wanted to defeat Zhuge Liang while he was alive, otherwise the Sichuan army would lose its mastermind, and it would be even more difficult to defeat Zhuge Liang.

Although his health is not good, Wang Xu has a plan in his heart, according to the current speed of paving, at most one month, the whole army can cross Jingshui, east of Jingshui, a smooth road, Zhuge Liang even if he is a genius, it is impossible to deal with his heavy cavalry and spear team in that place.

As long as Jingshui is passed, the Sichuan army will win, Zhuge Liang will be defeated, at that time the main force of the Liang army has been defeated, even if he is dead, with the talent of the lord, he can also hold on to Zhuge Liang, and then recruit Jingzhou Fazheng, Yongliang will enter the hands of the Sichuan army.

In that way, he was also blinded under the nine springs.

Wang Xu thought in his heart, but he didn't say it to Liu Zhang, only said that he was fine, so that Liu Zhang could rest assured.

After Liu Zhang went out, Wang Xu took out a pen, and before he could write two words, he coughed repeatedly, his whole body was weak, and his forehead was slightly feverish, so he took some medicine, lay down and rested for about half an hour, and then got up again.

The sound of rain was pouring outside, Wang Xu wrote down the military orders to prevent the epidemic one by one under the oil lamp on a rainy night, and after writing, after thinking about it, he took out a blank piece of paper.

"Lord, when you read this letter, Wang Xu was no longer ......"

Wang Xu coughed while writing, and wrote the last few words, but finally couldn't support it, coughed violently a few times, and spit out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the letter in black and white, and Wang Xu fainted on the letterhead.

…………

Light rain one after another, the Sichuan army did not fall day and night, under the attack of the Liang army, it took 20 days, laid the muddy ground on both sides of the Jingshui, and successfully built a bridge, the time for the decisive battle between the Sichuan army and the Liang army has come.

Zhuge Liang came to the east bank of Jingshui in a wooden cart and watched the Sichuan army leave the camp with a smile.

The two armies faced each other, the mountain wind blew the banners, and the Liang army erected a two-zhang high stone platform on the left wing of the large array.

Huang Zhong stepped out of the battle, raised his sword and shouted to the Liang army's big array: "Zhuge villager, let you be cunning in every way, flooding, fire attack, epidemic, all the conspiracies and tricks have been seen through by my military division one by one, and now the battle is upright, I see what tricks you have, Liang Jun Xiaoer, who dares to fight with me Huang Zhong?"
