Huainan, Shouchun, which has been fighting for more than half a year, has some bad situations.

It has been three months since May without a drop of rain.

The Huai River not only did not rise, but tended to dry up.

Sima Zhao obeyed Zhong Hui's plan, and continued to collect grain and grass from Huaibei during the day, and sent it back to Huaibei at night, so repeatedly, creating the illusion that the Wei army's grain and grass were endless.

The generals in Shouchun City were flustered and asked Zhuge to fight a decisive battle.

Zhuge knew that it was a plan, but he was helpless.

Jiang Ban led tens of thousands of people into battle, but was easily repelled by the high-morale Wei army.

The morale of the Shouchun defenders was weakening day by day.

And the year's grain and grass gathered at the beginning of Zhuge Day's life became overstretched under the empty mountain of more than 100,000 people.

As a last resort, Zhuge Dan could only make his plan public.

"Huainan September and October autumn rain lingering, the Huai River soared, flooded to Shouchun City, just wait for two months, Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops will be fish and turtles! It is stubborn and self-defeating. Zhuge Dan pointed to the clouds above his head.

It looks like it's going to rain.

The generals were at ease.

Zhuge has guarded Huainan for more than ten years, and he is also familiar with the water and soil of Huainan.

The past few years have been smooth, and there is no reason why there will be a drought this year.

When deciding to raise the army, Zhuge Dan divined a few hexagrams for himself, and the hexagrams showed that they were all good luck in the water.

He also consulted the old soldiers in the army and the old farmers in the fields, and they all said that there was no major drought this year.

It's just that people are not as good as the sky, and this rain can't fall for a long time.

It made him panic in his heart.

"Even if there is no heavy rain to help, with the strength of Shouchun, I can still stop Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops!" Zhuge Dan is very good at comforting himself.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered under the city, the country must be empty, there is Soochow in the south, and Liangzhou in the west, which should be able to withstand for some time." Jiao Yi followed Zhuge Dan's words.

Extreme Soul Chaos

How long Shouchun can hold out depends on how many results the Wu army and the Liangzhou army can achieve.

It's just that the situation outside the city is not as optimistic as Zhuge imagined.

In order to recruit reinforcements and grain and grass, Sima Zhao killed Taishan Tai Punctuality, who was passively sick, and Li Guang, the general, to show that he was determined to win Shouchun.

Zhu Yi and Ding Fengmeng attacked Lizhishuikou and fought hard with Wang Ji and Zhoutai, but unexpectedly Pang Hui and Lufan cavalry attacked Dulu.

Zhu Yi and Ding Feng had to retreat to Anfeng to hold on, lacking food and clothing, and the soldiers used weeds and berries to satisfy their hunger.

Sun Qi was also bound to win Huainan, and recruited 30,000 horses from Eastern Wu and allocated them to Zhu Yi, so that he could fight to the death with the Wei army.

The Wu army fought for a long time, suffered two setbacks, and its morale plummeted.

Zhu Yi patrolled the military camp at night, and saw that the soldiers complained loudly, and the governor could not do anything, so he asked for a truce and returned to the army to rest.

Sun Qi was furious, thinking that Zhu Yi disobeyed his orders, and summoned him to meet him in the wok.

When it was, Chai Sangdu and Fenwei General Lu Kang urgently admonished, and there must be more than one bad luck to go.

Zhu Yi does not doubt that he has him, he thinks that he has made outstanding achievements, he has the merit of Dongguan in the past, and he has the work of chasing his grandson in the back, "Zitong, family ear, what should you doubt!" ”

It's just that he regards Sun Qi as his family, and Sun Qi has long regarded him as an enemy.

Zhu Yi entered the wok and immediately ordered Lux to take it.

Zhu Yiyu couldn't stop shouting: "I, a loyal minister of Wu State, what is the crime?" ”

Sun Qi still killed him.

After Zhuge Ke's death, Zhu Yi was a major general of the Wu State, with great achievements and outstanding prestige.

Sun Qi ordered his brother Sun En to bluff to the rescue, and he himself retreated to Jianye.

The land resistance fought and left, and the army retreated to Xiakou.

The Wei army battalion.

After learning that Zhu Yi was beheaded, President Zhong sighed, "Zhu Yi died earlier, and tens of thousands of elites were saved for the Wu State, and Lu Kang is also extraordinary, and it may be difficult to succeed in destroying Wu for a while." ”

In fact, everything was originally in Zhonghui's plan.

The Wu army continued to add troops.

The Wei army continued to consume the Wu army.

It's just that Zhu Yi didn't want to fight again, and Sun Qi acted even more recklessly, directly killing the heavy general of Wu State.

Let the Wu army be unable to fight again.

Sima Zhao said: "Zhu Yi's march is unfavorable, it is not his crime, Sun Qi's beheading of the country's generals will not last long, he will have civil strife in the future, and the decline of Wu is just around the corner, and the only thing to worry about now is that Zhuge Dan's whole army breaks through and leaves." ”

At this time, Zhuge Dan had an army of 100,000 and still had the strength to fight.

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "You can make the people sell grain and grass again, and become an illusion that our army is short of food and grass, so as to consolidate Zhuge Dan's heart of perseverance." ”

Sima Zhao obeyed him, and sent people to spread the false news that Sun Qi had gathered men and horses in Eastern Wu and galloped north to help at any time.

On the city wall of Shouchun, Zhuge Dan saw that the grain and grass transported from Huaibei were getting less and less, and he was overjoyed, "Hundreds of thousands of troops are pouring into the country, and the war has been going on for several months. ”

Wen Qin also felt that there was a lot to be done, "There are 30,000 Wu troops in the city, including Quan Yi, Quan Duan, and Tang Shi, how can Sun Qi abandon them?" I will return to Jiankang to regroup and fight again in the future. ”

Jiao Yi and Jiang Ban hurriedly persuaded: "Shouchun has become a place of death, don't pin your hopes on outsiders, when you concentrate your forces to attack the southeast and break through." ”

Breaking through means giving up Shouchun and sending others to the fence.

The great plan of separating Huainan and defending itself and meeting the source left and right was in vain.

Zhuge Dan thinks that it has not yet reached this point, and the Wei army outside the city seems to be about the same.

At this time, the clouds in the sky surged, giving Zhuge a glimmer of hope.

"Don't say more, I have made up my mind, live and die with this city!" Zhuge said decisively.

Jiao Yi and Zhuge Dan have worked together for many years, and they don't want to see the old master defeated and die, so he insists on persuading, "Since Sima Zhao has come from the country and does not break Shouchun, how can he easily retreat?" ”

And these words were exactly what Malone was thinking in his heart, who was listening quietly.

Zhu Yi advanced by land and water, and fought hard for many days at the mouth of Lizhishuikou, unable to break the siege of the Wei army, which had already foreshadowed the outcome of the Huainan War.

It's a pity that Zhuge Dan still has a fluke mentality, and he is still hoping that God will rain rain.

In fact, Ma Long was also in a very awkward situation in Shouchun City.

is not Wen Qin's descendant, so Wen Qin didn't treat him much, and Zhuge Dan was faintly hostile to him.

So knowing that Zhuge Dan's plan was inappropriate, he didn't dare to speak out now.

As he expected, Zhuge Dan has long since lost his former grace and generosity, "Presumptuous, you have repeatedly confused the morale of the army, the sin is unforgivable, come to someone, drag it down and behead!" ”

At this time, Jiang Ban also came out to ask.

Zhuge Dan was furious, hating that the two of them couldn't understand themselves, and even Jiang Ban had to be beheaded together.

The two have been Zhuge Dan's confidants for many years, and they also have a lot of connections in the Huainan Army, and everyone has interceded for them.

Zhuge Dan spared the lives of the two and whipped them in public.

The two were humiliated, and the last bit of love was gone, knowing that Zhuge would be defeated, he escaped from Shouchun overnight and surrendered to Sima Zhao.

Report the truth and fiction in the city to Sima Zhao.

And the morale of Shouchun City is even lower, even Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi, two henchmen who have followed Zhuge for many years, have abandoned the city and joined the enemy, what can others think in their hearts?

Ma Long looked at the floating clouds floating over Shouchun City and couldn't help but sigh.

The Huainan War is about to usher in the final stage.
