Chigu City first quickly made a decisive decision to quell the civil strife in the city when the soldiers pressed the border, and then abandoned the thousand-man cavalry and took the initiative to throw themselves into the trap in the north, and easily cracked the two moves prepared by Xutuo Mi and Huo Guang. Lewen

However, when Huo Guang told Xu Tuomi about these changes, the future King of Wusun was at a loss, and even he didn't know that there was such a powerful person in Chigu City.

"Now that my father is dead, there is only one person in Akatani Castle who is quite wise, but this person is only an old man, and he does not have the courage to put down civil strife in a hurry, and secondly, he does not have the vision to see through the plans of the metropolitan governor. As for the others, it is even more unbearable, and even if my nephew is not in a mess at this time, it is certainly not him! "Xutuo is puzzled, he knows the entire Wusun nobles and Akaya City well, and there is absolutely no such Wusun person in his impression.

"Oh? Even you don't know? Pontus was a little curious, what kind of opponent was this? Huo Guang looked at the tall and sturdy Chigu Castle, still with a consistent smile on his face.

"Then do we want to attack the city?" Shangguan was in a hurry, he didn't bother to think about these twists and turns, and directly asked whether to attack the city or not.

"Now there are no less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Akatani City, and these people are almost desperate to hold on to the city, it is really unwise to attack the city at this time, even if we capture Akatani Castle, our army will definitely pay a heavy price!" Before Huo Guang could speak, Bai Zheng spoke on the side.

"Hmm. Tell us what you think. Bai Zheng's opinion coincided with Huo Guang, and Huo Guang never thought of attacking Chigu at all.

Bai Zheng bowed slightly, and said respectfully to Huo Guang: "The best thing is to let these people take the initiative to open the city and surrender, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties of our army, and secondly, when Dalu succeeds to the throne, these Wusun troops will also be subordinates of the Dadu Governor's Mansion." Bai Zheng lowered his posture very low, and began to naturally consider the overall situation from Huo Guang's point of view.

"Isn't this nonsense? But the people in the city are not so obedient, right? "Shangguan Ji once fought with the Bai Zheng brothers, although he won in the end, but many soldiers died under his men, and he didn't completely accept Bai Zheng, so he said.

Huo Guang glanced at Shangguan Ji and Bai Zheng, with a helpless smile on his face, he didn't care about these little dirty people under him. He turned to continue to say to Bai Zheng: "You continue. ”

Bai Zheng showed a little embarrassment on his face, but when he heard Huo Guang let him continue, he took a deep breath and continued: "Judging from the situation last night, Chigu City is planning to resist to the end, and they have also discovered a fatal weakness of our army!" ”

"What weakness?" Shangguan Ji, Li Ling and the others asked almost in unison, only Huo Guang seemed to have expected it, and he seemed relatively calm,

Bai Zheng didn't speak immediately, but looked at Huo Guang, and seeing that Huo Guang nodded to himself slightly, he continued: "Grain and grass..... The biggest problem of our army is the problem of grain and grass, although there are cattle and sheep from all parts along the way continue to be transported, but our Hexi army is all Han people, and it is no problem to take beef and mutton as the staple food in a short time, but after a long time and the dry climate here in the Western Regions, the soldiers' bodies will definitely be unadaptable, and then our army will have to withdraw the army, so that the siege of Chigu Castle will be relieved without a fight......"

"Uh......" The generals of Hexi all looked at each other, they couldn't deny Bai Zheng's words, at this moment the generals found out that in fact, since they entered the Western Regions, an alarm bell has been hanging over their heads, and the time will fall when the time comes!

"Then what can you do about it?" Huo Guang asked with a smile on his face, as if encouraging Bai Zheng.

"The subordinates are incompetent....... I haven't thought of a way to crack it for the time being....." Bai Zheng lowered his head and replied helplessly.

"It's okay, you can think slowly if you can't think of it for the time being, we still have a lot of time!" Huo Guang was not in a hurry at all, but comforted the generals,

"The soldiers are tired from the battle, so let's rest these days. Xutuo, Bai Zheng, you go out with me. Huo Guang directly ordered the soldiers to rest, and finally asked Xu Tuomi and Bai Zheng to accompany him outside.

Huo Guang took Xu Tuomi, Bai Zheng and the pro-guard army, and walked around Chigu City, looking as leisurely as a tour of the mountains and rivers. Standing on a hillside, looking at the meandering river on the grassland at his feet and the towering Chigu City, Huo Guang couldn't help but let out a voice of admiration: "It's really a good place.......

"By the way, what's the name of the river that runs through the city?" Huo Guang held a horsewhip in his hand and pointed to a river that ran through the city from Chigu City and asked Xutuomi.

"The pronunciation of this river Wusun is called Nalun......" Xutuomi said in broken Chinese, he didn't know what Nalun meant in Chinese, so he directly used the pronunciation of Wusun.

"Naryn ..... That's a good name! Huo Guang looked at the river named Naren, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Seeing that Huo Guang was particularly concerned about this river, and sensing the change in Huo Guang's expression, Bai Zheng's heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and then he also carefully looked at this river named Naren, but after a while, his face showed incomprehension.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Zheng still respectfully asked Huo Guang: "Is the Grand Governor trying to make a fuss about the water of the Narun River?" Flooded Akaya Castle? It's just that the river here flows slowly and the water layer is shallow, so I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve the desired effect! ”

"Oh? You can think of a flood strategy, and you can count it as a heart. However, as you said, the boundaries of the Western Regions are all rivers with low riverbeds and slow currents, which cannot achieve the effect of flooding at all. And this Akaya Castle is a void after all, and it will also be under the rule of my Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the future, so it is a pity that it will be destroyed. Huo Guang glanced at Bai Zheng, and then looked at the Naren River that was like a white jade belt spread on the grassland.

"The subordinates are stupid, please make it clear to the Metropolitan Governor!" Bai Zheng was puzzled, and felt that Huo Guang was unfathomable.

The smile on Huo Guang's face slowly faded, and he turned to say with some seriousness: "Since the one in Chigu City has the idea of our grain and grass, then we will also repay the other in the same way....... Ordered the soldiers to dig the Naryn River and divert the river from outside Akaya Castle...... I want to see, is it the Akatani Castle that has no water source that has lasted long? Or did my Hexi Army hold on for a long time? ”

"Okay..... Most of the governors have a good move, and they will return the favor to the other in their own way..... The subordinates are going to give orders! Bai Zheng immediately shouted excitedly when he heard this, and he was also completely impressed by Huo Guang's strategy.

The Naryn River is flat and slow-flowing, and it is not enough to flood Akiti Castle, but it is easy to divert it with tens of thousands of troops.

The Xiongnu princess and the military beard, as well as a group of Wusun nobles, would go up to the walls of Chigu Castle every day to check the movements of the army outside the city. At the beginning, seeing that the troops besieging Chigu City were resting leisurely, and there was no intention of attacking the city, these people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time admired the Xiongnu princess even more.

However, a day or two later, the men discovered the anomaly of the army outside the city. They found that the Han army and the Xutuo army, which had been leisurely wandering around the city every day, had gone in batches in the direction of the Narun River a few miles away on the past two days, because they were separated by some distance, they could only see that these tens of thousands of troops seemed to be working along the Naren River, looking hot, but they didn't know what they were doing.

The Xiongnu princess looked at the abnormal behavior outside the city, and her thin eyebrows, which were depicted like two willow leaves, also wrinkled slightly. Jun Xu Mi beside him also asked with a puzzled face: "Mother, what are these Han people doing?" ”

"I don't know...... I had a bad premonition..... "The Xiongnu princess couldn't guess Huo Guang's intentions, but her feminine intuition and her own intelligence told her that the Han army's actions were very unfavorable to their Chigu Castle.

I can't guess or understand, the Xiongnu princess and the Wusun nobles in Chigu City had to reluctantly get off the city wall, fortunately, there was nothing abnormal in Chigu City in the first two days, it seems that everything is developing as the Hun princess expected, but only the Hun princess herself is becoming more and more uneasy.

"Oh no...... Mother..... The Narun River in the city was cut off...... "On the fifth day of the siege of the city, when the Xiongnu princess was still resting in her bedroom, the military beard ran in in a panic and shouted with a frightened face.

"What .....?" The princess of the Huns didn't care about her manners, so she casually put on her robe and stood up. The Narun River is the lifeblood of the entire Chigu City, and the Xiongnu princess knows better than anyone what it means that the river is broken.

"For some reason, when I woke up this morning, I found that the Naryn River flowing into the city had stopped..... Now the river in the city is not enough and the ankle is deep....." Jun Sumi said with a panicked face, no matter how incompetent he is, he knows how terrifying it is for a city of more than 100,000 people to have no water source!

"Follow me to the city wall....." In the panic, the Xiongnu princess had simply sorted out her appearance, she seemed to have guessed the abnormality of the Han army in the past few days, and hurriedly rushed to the city wall with Jun Sumi.

When the Xiongnu princess and the nobles in the city climbed the city wall and saw the scene outside the city, the Xiongnu princess's body trembled and almost stood unsteadily, if she hadn't held on to the wall in time, she almost fell to the ground.

And so it was..... And so it was...... The Han people are really cunning...... Huo Guang..... It is really worthy of the name of the butcher..... "The Xiongnu princess saw that the water of the Naren River, which originally flowed into Chigu City, had now made a detour from outside the city, and the river that originally led to the city had dried up.

"What can I do? Without water, we will die in the city......" A group of Wusun nobles were completely panicked, originally still had the idea of Han people's grain and grass, but they didn't expect that in just a few days, the problem of grain and grass water source that their side would face was more serious and urgent than that of the Han army.

"Get ready, Kaesong surrenders....." After a long time, the Xiongnu princess held her body and said in a helpless and lonely tone.

"But Mother, Dalu will kill us..... He can even kill his own father, and he won't let us go......" Jun Sumi said with a pale face.

The Xiongnu princess took her son's hand, barely sent a loving smile on her face, and then said in a soft tone: "Mother will not let you die!" All he wanted was the throne of Wusun Kunmo...... And the current Wusun is not Xutuo's final say, mother will let a Han man named Huo Guang spare your life! ”
