"Use Water Attack!"

More than 100,000 villagers were organized to dig the river, intending to directly divert water to flood Shouchun.

Huainan has been raining heavily for several days, the dirt roads are muddy, the water level is soaring, and the grain turnover is cumbersome, if Shouchun cannot be captured within two months, the Xuzhou army may have to retreat.

The scouts sent by Hou Jing to reconnoiter outside the city found that the Xuzhou army was diverting the water, and they couldn't help but panic. Once Shouchun is flooded, no one can escape.

Hou Jing tried to struggle, and led his soldiers out of the city to fight many times, but was repelled by Chen Qingzhi.

Knowing that he was more than lucky, Hou Jing simply sat back and ignored him, drank and had fun in the city, and lived a passive life after experiencing despair.

Mi Fang, who lacked the ability to command soldiers and horses, was responsible for digging rivers and diverting water.

As a branch of Huaishui, because of the rainy days and the surging of the river, it can be used for water attack.

Mi Fang regarded the task of diverting water as Chu Tian's trust in him, and personally carried a shovel to dig the river.

Chu Tian waited patiently for the flooding of Shouchun, and at the same time he ordered Xu Sheng to prepare a large number of grain ships to prepare for an attack on the Shouchun city wall from the water.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan's Langya defense corps supported Hefei and assisted Yang Ye and Joan of Arc to repel the famous Eastern Jin Dynasty generals Huan Wen and Zu Ti and hold Hefei.

Huan Wen and Zu Ti found that the main force of the Xuzhou Army noticed the importance of Hefei and knew that there was no chance to recapture Feifei, so they withdrew.

The Lujiang and Chaisang soldiers attacked Hefei for seven days, killing and wounding 6,000 people, and the army's morale was shaken.

In order to block Huan Wen and Zu Li's offensive, the invincible legion and the servant legion suffered three or four thousand casualties, and the losses were also not small.

Yang Ye's invincible legion could still be recruited and replenished, but the servant legion could not be replenished in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the formation of the servant legion, the number of soldiers has shrunk a lot, even if the main general Joan of Arc was almost killed, it can be regarded as shedding blood for Xuzhou Mu. Chu Tian also ordered Yang Ye to send scouts to spy on the Lujiang River.

As long as Shouchun is captured, the main army may not be able to attack Lujiang.

"You have to look at Shu in Long, and you have to look at the river in Huai."

Chu Tian felt the greed of human nature, even himself.

If you lay down Longyou, you will want to enter Shu, and if you lay down Huainan, you will want to drink the Yangtze River.

Although it has been raining heavily recently, because of the warm bed of Mulan, Chutian's life is not bad, at least much better than the guards trapped in Shouchun City.

"Lord, the river has been excavated, the water level of the river has risen sharply, and the earth dam can be dug at any time to irrigate the city!"

Mi Fang came to Chutian in a hurry and proudly reported the results.

"The armies will seize the high ground and divert water to irrigate the city tomorrow."

The next day, Mi Fang excitedly led thousands of villagers to destroy the earth dam, roared in the water, and went straight to Shouchun City along the excavated river!

The defenders of Shouchun City are having a headache because of the rain for days, and the city has been flooded, and the people are full of grievances.

Suddenly, the defenders of Shouchun City felt the ground shaking, and it seemed that a giant beast was approaching in the distance. They looked uneasily at the city walls, and the defenders outside the city had withdrawn.

"Ground moving?"

The defenders thought it was an earthquake.

Guo Jia's face changed slightly: "The water is going to irrigate the city." ”

A rumbling sound approached, and the flood destroyed the trees and rocks outside the city, swirling and stirring, and crashing into the walls of Shouchun City! The flood crashed against the walls, and the murky water splashed in the faces of the defenders!

The defenders watched in horror as the flood raged into the city, and they could not help but be horrified.

Although the flood did not cause the immediate fall of Shouchun City, it dealt a serious blow to the morale of the defenders of Shouchun City. All the defenders were terrified.

There were no reinforcements outside, flooding inside, and the soldiers lacked fighting spirit, and it was only a matter of time before Shouchun fell.

Hou Jing was drunk and dreamed of death in the city, and the flood flooded into Shouchun City, Hou Jing was shocked and personally went to the city to defend.

"The power of the flood is really huge."

Chu Tian was stationed at a high place and witnessed Shouchun City turn into a swamped land, which was also a helpless move. If the embankment is not broken, the siege will lose even more.

However, the water attack is cool for a while, and after occupying Shouchun City, appeasing civilians and dealing with stagnant water is enough to give people a headache.

Chu Tian can only appoint a Jiujiang Taishou to govern Shouchun and let him have a headache......

Xu Sheng temporarily assembled a fleet of ships through the Huai River, entered the Huaishui, and appeared outside Shouchun City, making the Shouchun defenders even more panicked.

"Chu Zimou thought that flooding Shouchun could capture this city, but he underestimated me Hou Jing too much!"

Hou Jing forcibly recruited 200,000 men, and while draining water, he continued to stick to Shouchun.

Within three days, thousands of civilians died as a result of overwork.

Hou Jing guarded the city during the day, and continued to be drunk and dreamed of death at night.

However, Guo Jia had already begun to lobby Hou Jing's subordinates.

The generals under Hou Jing's command were divided into two groups, one of which was Hou Jing's old department, and the other group was Yuan Shu's generals, who were abducted to Huainan by Hou Jing.

On the fourth day of the flood irrigation city, when Hou Jing woke up drunk, he found that he was tied up by five flowers, and it was not only Yuan Shu's generals who bound him, but also some of his old subordinates.

Hou Jing was suddenly furious, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out: "You dare to betray me!" ”

A subordinate general said: "General, Shouchun is heavily surrounded, flooded the city, continue to besiege, once the plague breaks out, no one in the entire Shouchun will survive." Sacrificing you alone, so that hundreds of thousands of people in Shouchun City can be saved, why not? ”

"Stupid! As long as we hold for a while, Xuzhou Mu's army will definitely retreat because of lack of food, and we are still the masters of Shouchun! ”

Hou Jing's eyes were vicious, and the generals who betrayed him couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they were still afraid of Hou Jing.

"Hou Jing, how does it feel to be betrayed by your subordinates?"

Guo Jia arrived under the protection of several Hu cavalry, condescending.

These Hu soldiers were originally used by Hou Jing to spy on Guo Jia, but at this time, they were persuaded by Guo Jia to participate in the rebellion.

"You didn't offer me a plan, but hurt me, I hate that I didn't kill you that day!"

Hou Jing understood that most of his subordinates were persuaded by Guo Jia to rebel, otherwise they would not even betray him.

Guo Jia's eyes were arrogant: "I persuaded you not to provoke Chu Zimou that day, but you didn't listen, why did you say that I didn't offer a plan?" You didn't kill me, not because you were so kind, but because you were too conceited about yourself. ”

"Abominable ......"

Hou Jing was deliberately stimulated by Guo Jia and wanted to rush up to kill Guo Jia, but was held down by his own generals.

"This thief has done a lot of evil, and he will be dedicated to Xuzhou Mu."

Guo Jia's revenge was avenged, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

"Lord, the defenders of Shouchun surrendered the city!"

Chu Tian led Hua Mulan, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun and others to supervise the battle, and was deciding to capture Shouchun City in one go and capture the most important city in the Huainan region, but Shouchun City surrendered on its own initiative.

"Presumably, the water irrigates the city, and people's minds change."

"The last general is going to investigate!"

Mi Fang volunteered and led more than 1,000 soldiers into Shouchun to make sure that the defenders were not surrendering by fraud.

The defenders of Shouchun were attacked by water, their fighting spirit was completely lost, almost all surrendered, and even if some resisted, they were killed by their own people.

Hou Jing, who was in trouble in Huainan, was brought to Chutian by Guo Jia and several rebel generals.

Hou Jing knew that he would die, and he did not beg for mercy.

Guo Jia seems to be less than twenty: "Fengxiao visits Xuzhou Mu." ”

"I don't like to get Hou Jing and Shouchun, but I just like to get filial piety."

As usual, Chu Tian touted all the talents.

Sure enough, Guo Jia, who was still a little enthusiastic, was quite moved, and it seemed that Xuzhou Mu was eager to seek talent.

"Hou Jing scourged Huainan, the people suffered deeply, Xuzhou Mu crusaded against Huainan, for the people to eliminate harm, filial piety for the righteousness. If Xuzhou Mu does not dislike it, he will be a staff member of filial piety. ”

Guo Jia took the initiative to take refuge in Chutian. If it weren't for Chu Tian leading a large army to conquer Huainan, which caused panic among Hou Jing's internal people, he would not have been able to persuade Hou Jing's generals to defect anyway.

"Ding! The Imperial Strategist Guo Jia is loyal to you. ”

Chu Tian received a prompt from the system.

Guo Jia can be said to be one of the foremost strategists in the Three Kingdoms period.

The top strategists are actually almost the same, and it is difficult to calculate with each other, and most of them still rely on the strength of the lord to win. The thicker the lord's family background, the more room they have to play.

"Ziyun, Hou Jing will be handed over to you to dispose of."

Chu Tian handed Hou Jing over to Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi didn't say a word, drew his sword and killed Hou Jing. Hou Jing, who plagued Huainan, died so easily.

"Feng Xiao thinks, how to deal with this group of generals in Huainan?"

After killing Hou Jing, Chu Tian asked Guo Jia about dealing with the Huainan generals.

Guo Jia pondered for a while: "Kill them all." ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

Chu Tian was also not at ease with Hou Jing's general. Although they surrendered the city, they once followed Hou Jing to burn and loot in Pengchengguo and Jiujiang County, causing resentment among the people, and they did not kill or use the anger of the people.

This time, it was Guo Jia who took the initiative to surrender the city. From beginning to end, Chu Tian did not promise not to blame the surrender of the troops. Therefore, the black cauldron should be carried by the staff member Guo Jia. Chutian is still a promise.

Guo Jia said a word, and the heads of hundreds of centurions and thousands of commanders under Hou Jing fell to the ground.

The rest of the troops were all sent to the mines and became coolies.

There are many disciples of the good family in Huainan, and even if Hou Jing's ** is not co-opted, there is not much loss to Chutian.

Chutian got Guo Jia, took him as a staff member, and cultivated it with Lu Su. Guo Jia and Lu Su are of the same age.

[Name]: Guo Jia

[Talent]: Imperial Strategist

[Level]: 31

[Identity]: Cao Cao's adviser in the late Eastern Han Dynasty

[Loyalty]: 82

[Commander]: 37 (max 52)

[Brawn]: 10 (maximum 11)

[Intelligence]: 89 (maximum 97)

[Politics]: 70 (maximum 84)

[Charm]: 75

[Phase]: Uninhibited

[Favorability]: 60

[Trait 1]: Ghost Talent (SS-level trait, high probability of seeing through the opponent's monarch character, high probability of seeing through the opponent's strategy, and the probability of troops being ambushed, fire, lost and other negative states is reduced)

[Trait 2]: Legacy (S-class trait, 3 months before the end of life, intelligence +2, can be tricky)

[Trait 3]: Jealousy of Talents (negative traits, easy to die early, easy to get seriously ill when marching for a long time)

Guo Jia's ability is indeed very strong, and he can easily see through the character and strategy of the other monarch, but this "legacy" and "jealous talent" characteristics have a lot of impact.

This may be the true jealous genius of the legend, who can burst out with 99 intelligence before dying.

If it was possible, Chu Tian naturally didn't want Guo Jia to die.

A normal Guo Jia is enough to serve as a military advisor of a legion, and there is no need to pursue the intelligence of 99.

Back in Xuzhou, I have to find a way to let the miracle doctor Hua Tuo treat Guo Jia's illness, if it is not a terminal illness, Hua Tuo may be able to rejuvenate and eliminate Guo Jia's negative characteristics of "jealousy of talent".

Chu Tian counted the military divisions under his command, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Guo Jia, Lu Su, and Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Cao Di in the future, which can basically realize that a main army is equipped with a top strategist.

For other forces, it's simply a luxury.

Which force can have such a large group of king-level and royal-level strategists?

Chu Tian's strategist lineup is equivalent to Cao Wei's strategist lineup at his peak.

"In Xia Guo Fengxiao."

"Lu Zijing."

Guo Jia and Lu Su, two strategists, worked for Chutian and became the second generation of strategists. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are obviously older. As for Zhuge Liang, he is a third-generation strategist.

"Bonghyo, it's good that you're still alive."

Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia once served as colleagues under the command of Jiujiang Taishou, and at this time, Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia successively took refuge in Chutian, became Chutian's subordinates, and became colleagues again.

Guo Jia's expression was a little gloomy: "I was too negligent to cause the old master to be killed by Hou Jing." ”

"The old lord trusts Hou Jing too much, thinking that if he saves Hou Jing, Hou Jing will be loyal to him."

When Chen Qingzhi saw Guo Jia, he was very embarrassed.

Chu Tian noticed that the friendship between Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia was surprisingly good, and the heroes of different dynasties seemed to have a new circle in "Lord".

Guo Jia should know a group of strategists in Yingchuan County, if he can use the relationship between Guo Jia and the Xun family in the future to recruit Xun You and Xun Yu.

The Xuzhou Army entered Shouchun, opened a warehouse for disaster relief, and eliminated floods.

Chu Tian hadn't relaxed yet.

Guo Jia saw Chu Tian's thoughts and asked, "Could it be that the lord is not satisfied with Shouchun and Hefei?" ”

"Feng Xiao knows me too. If you have to look at the Huaijiang River, I will attack the Lujiang River and sweep Huainan. ”

Chu Tian did not hide his ambitions in front of Guo Jia.

For Guo Jia, an ambitious lord is more worthy of allegiance.

"Shu County and Anhui County of Lujiang County are the most important, but the defenders of Lujiang County are Huan Wen and Zu Ti, they are stationed in Shu County, and the people support them, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture. Hou Jing attacked Lujiang not long ago and was defeated by Huan Wen. The lord first got Shouchun and Hefei, and the people's hearts were unstable, and if the attack on Lujiang failed, he was afraid of repeating. ”

Guo Jia lived in Shouchun for a period of time, and once followed Hou Jing to attack Lujiang, witnessed Hou Jing being defeated by Huan Wen, and knew a lot about the situation in Lujiang County, and dissuaded Chutian from giving up the capture of Lujiang County.

The reason is also very simple, Shucheng is to Lujiang Taishou Tongque, which is equivalent to Xia Cheng to Chutian.

The hearts of the people of Shucheng were higher than 90, and in the face of the attack of the Xuzhou army, they swore to defend and rushed to defend the city. Even if it takes a few months for Chu Tian to capture Shu County.

"Even if I can't defeat Shu County, my army can plunder the population of Lujiang County and enrich Hefei and Shouchun."

Chutian didn't plan to let go of Tongque's Lujiang County, even if he went to grab tens of thousands of households and migrated to Hefei, he would have earned it.

"My lord, Guangling Taishou Chen Yuanlong recommended a person, thinking that this person can serve as Jiujiang Taishou."

When Chutian was about to enter Lujiang County, the talents introduced by Chen Deng came to Shouchun.
