Chapter 154: Long Yuan
Cao Cao was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time.
Originally, he also thought that the so-called trapped dragon array was to cut off the water flow of Twenty-eight Pu, so that Liu Wei would be trapped in a waterless place. A man can be hungry for a few days, but he cannot go without drinking water, and once the water is cut off, the morale of the army will be chaotic. And they are condescending, and it is convenient to cut off the flow of water, as long as a few major sources are controlled, it is not impossible to adjust the flow of Erbapu and the nearby water system with manpower.
He always thought that Xi Zhicai was doing such a thing, and the reason why he said that the dragon formation was just pretending to be mysterious, so that the soldiers had confidence in him. It wasn't until now that he knew that Xi Zhicai was really unpredictable, and he actually transferred the water of Twenty-Eight Pools to Longyuan.
What surprised Cao Cao even more was that Xi Zhicai wanted to flood the dragon with water. It's incredible. But if you think about it carefully, as Xi Zhicai said, only the opposite will make people unexpected. Liu Wei wants to go to Longyuan to go to the water, where will he know that Longyuan is his burial place.
Even if he is a real dragon, can he live in the water like a fish?
"The water of Twenty-Eight Pu can actually be moved to Longyuan?"
"Isn't it amazing?" Xi Zhicai smiled, looking good. "Actually, the magic is not this, Twenty-Eight Pu and Long Yuan are not interconnected, but their total source is the same, but ordinary people don't know it."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, he didn't know.
"The magic is how to form a torrent at the moment of releasing the water, so that Liu Wei has no time to react." Xi Zhicai twisted his fingers, "If the water is not strong enough, Liu Wei has enough reaction time to escape, and our arrangement is meaningless." A large amount of water must be poured into the dragon abyss in a short period of time. Let him not have time to escape, it will work. ”
"That's what the 61 drum song is meant to do?"
"Not bad." Xi Zhicai's eyes gradually became sharper: "The name of this song is called Wave Gully, and it is the last song of the 61 drum and ten songs. ”
Cao Cao sighed, he only knew that there was a 61 drum song, but he didn't know what the waves were. Listening to the name, you know that it is a drum song that stirs the water. He now knows what Xi Zhicai is doing with those people, and he can guess why Xi Zhicai was able to cut off the audio between Lu Bu and Liu Wei.
Stirring the water with drum music, sure enough, this is the real unpredictable.
After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Cao Cao asked a few questions, and Xi Zhicai answered them one by one. Cao Cao finally asked: "Let Guan Yu guard the north entrance." And not directly into the war. Will he be able to agree? ”
"Of course not." Xi Zhicai's eyebrows frowned slightly: "What I'm most worried about now is him." He's a fire guy, and he doesn't seem to be fit for water fighting, and he's so strange that I'm afraid he'll mess up the big picture. Failure leads to failure. ”
"That being said. But Guan Yu is very watery. Just on the grounds of fire, I'm afraid it's hard to convince him. Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Besides, you also said it. Liu Wei has Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu by his side, and with Sun Jian and Dian Wei alone, we don't have enough chances to win. ”
Xi Zhicai sighed: "Then the general will watch it, I really don't have the strength to care about this." ”
Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and patted Zhicai's shoulder: "Zhicai, whether you can kill Liu Wei or not doesn't matter what." I can't kill it this time, I will have a chance next time, but you only have one life, if something happens to you, where can I find a henchman like you? ”
Xi Zhicai was silent, and Cao Cao turned around and went out of the account.
……
Liu Wei looked around, got off the horse, walked to the edge of the pool, reached out to pick up a handful of water, and took a sip.
As Xun You said, Longyuan water is a little salty and bitter, and there is a faint fishy smell. However, he didn't think it was because of the dragon's blood. He thinks it may be that the groundwater contains a higher concentration of iron, which may also explain why the water is pale red and has some yellow.
The taste is not good, it can barely be drunk, and it is certainly not a problem to wash horses.
Zhang Liao strode over: "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to check, there is only one entrance to Longyuan Water, which is the dark cave in the middle of the water. The crypt is not large, and it should not form a sudden surge. ”
Liu Wei glanced at Zhang Liao with satisfaction: "Xu Huang has already understood, have you understood?" ”
Zhang Liao smiled: "The minister's qualifications are stupid and he has not yet understood. ”
"Wen Yuan, don't be presumptuous." Liu Wei comforted: "Some people become famous as teenagers, some people become late bloomers, each has a destiny, as long as you work hard and don't relax." ”
"Thank you." Zhang Liao bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, let's rest early." The minister has prepared a camping place, please go with the minister. ”
Liu argued and followed Zhang Liao up the hill. In terms of the amount of water in Longyuan, this place is safe enough. But I don't know why, Liu Wei has an inexplicable uneasiness. He looked at the pale red Longyuan water, looked at the surrounding terrain again, and suddenly said, "Gongda, has there been a big water here in Longyuan?" ”
Xun You was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Wei meant: "No, even if the water volume surges, it will not reach this height." Xun You pointed to the place where he took a few steps and signaled to Liu Wei that it was the highest water level recorded in history.
Liu Wei glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief. Since the highest water level in history is still more than ten steps underfoot, it must be safe here. What's more, it is now the dry season, and the water level is more than thirty steps away from their position, and it is impossible for the water level to rise to such a height in a few days. There was enough time for him to leave safely. Guards have been arranged at the two valley mouths in the north and south, and Yuan Shu was blocked by Jia Xu in the south of the twenty-eight pools, so there should be no accident.
Liu Wei finished his dinner, inspected the camp, and rested in the tent. As is customary, he sits cross-legged and meditates. As soon as he took his seat, he felt a strange feeling, there seemed to be the sound of wind and thunder in his ears, and there seemed to be a stream of water washing over the stone wall. He was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, and pondered for a long time, puzzled.
Could it be that there is a dark river in this mountain? The formation of the dark river has certain geographical requirements, and the terrain here is not like it.
Liu Wei was unsettled, got up and left the big tent, and Wei Guan and the others hurriedly followed. Liu Wei stood in front of the tent and looked at the terrain around him again. Looking around at the surrounding mountains, it was pitch black, and it was heavy and suffocating.
……
About three miles away from Liu Wei, halfway up the west slope of the mountain, in a hidden cave, Guan Yu stood at the entrance of the cave with his hands in his hands, looking at the bonfire in the distance, his eyes sneering. Cao Cao originally planned to let him guard the north entrance and cut off Liu Wei's escape to the north, but let Sun Jian and Dian Wei attack Liu Wei in a boat, but he refused. Otherwise, he would have to fight against Lu Bu again today, not a cavalry battle, not a foot battle, but a water battle.
He was not afraid of Lu Bu, he was even eager to fight Lu Bu again, but he preferred to kill Liu Wei with his own hands. Only with such credit can Yuan Shao come forward and ask Xu Shao to look at Liu Bei's appearance, and even make a good evaluation.
Everyone knows that if you can get a word of praise from Yuedan, it means that you are famous all over the world.
Liu Bei needs a good reputation, even more urgent than strength. Unknown people can't do great things.
Although Guan Yu didn't think much of Xi Zhicai pretending to be a ghost, he still preferred to believe that Xi Zhicai really had such a ability. To this end, he personally assembled several Mengchong warships that could carry thirty people, and checked the details again and again to ensure that nothing was wrong.
Xie County is on the edge of the river, Guan Yu's water quality is very good, and he thinks that he will not be worse than Sun Jian and Dian Wei, who grew up in the water town.
Guan Yu glanced at the opposite hillside, although he couldn't see anything, but he knew that there was also a cave there, and Sun Jian was hiding there, maybe wiping his Wu Sword. As soon as he thought of cutting the Wu knife, Guan Yu couldn't help but scoff. What's wrong with the Wu Knife without cutting it, my Qinglong Yanyue Knife can cut off Liu Wei's head. What if Sun Jian has a treasure sword, isn't it the same as being killed by Liu Wei, and he fled in defeat, and he still has the strength of three or four thousand people. If there were three or four thousand of us, we would never be defeated at the Jade Maiden Tower.
Thinking of the Jade Maiden Platform, Guan Yu was a little gloomy. In the first battle of Jade Girl Terrace, Liu Bei lost everything, and now there are only a dozen people, so he has to rely on Cao Cao, otherwise he will not even have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
I hope that Xi Zhicai's sour Ding really has the ability to move mountains and seas, otherwise all the preparations will be in vain. If that's the case, I won't spare him.
Guan Yu leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his gaze burning and threatening.
"Yun Chang, what's wrong?"
"There is the sound of water." Guan Yu's voice trembled, and he was excited. Although Xi Zhicai dislikes it, he really has some skills. I heard the sound of running water. ”
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei listened attentively, but they didn't hear anything. However, they did not doubt Guan Yu's ears. Guan Yu has understood his fate, his hearing is far beyond ordinary people, what they can't hear, Guan Yu can hear.
"It's a lot of water." Guan Yu clapped his hands and was overjoyed: "Brother, the opportunity has come, the opportunity has come." ”
Liu Bei was also overjoyed, and immediately asked people to prepare the warship.
……
Next to Long Yuan, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed and remained motionless.
The black knife trembled slightly around his waist, as if it had life, and struggled to unsheath it.
Liu Wei held the handle of the knife in his hand, surprisingly calm, so calm that even he felt incredible. He originally thought that he should panic, or at least be surprised, but his current situation did not fluctuate at all.
He slowly pulled out the black knife, leaned into Long Yuan, and closed his eyes.
A cheerful voice came from deep in his mind, I don't know if it was the black knife or himself, or if the two had become one, and in his mind turned into a giant dragon, leaping into the dragon abyss, diving into the depths.
There was a whistling sound in the depths of the dragon abyss, and there was a turbulent current. The waves were turbulent and the water was strong, and the dragon was not afraid of rejoicing, and cheered to meet it, swimming further and further against the current.
It seemed that it was only a moment, and it seemed that tens of millions of years had passed, Liu Wei opened his eyes and slowly lifted the black knife: "Zhongdao, pass on my general's order, all the soldiers set up bows and crossbows, and prepare for battle." ”。 (To be continued......)
PS: The battle is about to begin, and tomorrow Lao Zhuang will finish this battle in one go, end the first volume, and let everyone have a good time.
Then don't you also let Lao Zhuang refresh himself, come to a few chapters of monthly tickets to refresh himself and boost morale, how about it?
