Chapter 334, excavation and drainage

Outside Xiapi City, it was already the second day of Lu Bu's attack on the camp.

Fang Guang took Lu Yi and Zhao Yun with Gao Shun and surrendered Zhang Liao, while Cao Cao took advantage of Lu Bu's illness to ask Lu Bu to order and rectify the subordinate parts of the city, and the west of Picheng was surrounded by water.

After Pengcheng was weak, Xiapi was a state in Xuzhou, where the state was generally governed.

This city guards the road of the Central Plains to the east, and has been built by Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu, and it is already an unusually strong city.

Originally, to deal with such cities, Liu Ye's thunderbolt was the strongest siege strategy.

It's just that this thing was not mature at the end of the Han Dynasty after all, and the Guandu Thunderbolt showed its might, and it was Liu Ye who brought him from Xuchang to fill the material with him, so that he could become an army overnight.

The thunderbolt broke the wooden city, and it was also damaged a lot in Yanzhou!

For this reason, Liu Ye simply stayed in Dongjun and continued to polish this equipment.

There are no siege equipment available, and the number of soldiers in the state is not under Cao's army, and Lu Bu is even more ruthless to collect a lot of grain and grass, this city, in Cao Cao's heart, has been defined as a strong city!

Under the city, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, with unkind faces, stared at the head of the city, Lu Bu, and couldn't wait to climb the wall first and behead the slave with the three surnames!

"Although Lu Bu's thieves are defeated, Gao Shun is certainly in his heart, and he has galloped the world for decades, if he sticks to the city, I am afraid that it is also impatient!"

"My army has been staying in Xuzhou for more than a month, and I don't know what happened to Xuchang, Guanzhong, and Yanzhou! The day before yesterday, there was a report on the full pet, and Nanyang had the intention of committing a crime! ”

"Xuchang has already mobilized the people to build a city in the pass, Zhang Xiuxiao'er, do you also want to do a surprise attack?"

Cao Cao saw that Xia Pi was well defended, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked very worried.

Behind him, Xun Yu's eyes flickered, the matter of Xuchang, he got Xun Yu's letter, in fact, he knew more than the lord.

The nephew lost the gambling fight to Shi Tao, and the people had already been allocated to Shi Guangyuan, Tuntian in Yingchuan, and in the countryside of Xuchang.

Fang Guang is in Xuchang, building a lot of civil engineering, and he has mobilized a lot of people's power!

Manzhong is the sworn enemy of the youth, taking advantage of the absence of Si Nong, the people of Xuchang and the people of Tuntian will be assigned to the south of Yuzhou to build a conscription.

In fact, it was deliberately slowing down the progress of Xuchang's construction, preventing Shi Tao from taking up the army, and making Fang Guang unable to go smoothly.

Among them, there is also the matter of Dong Cheng, the general of the chariot and cavalry, who robbed the fields of the state and county, and the water in it is quite deep.

In short, the young man is not there, the original three high gates of Yingchuan have converged slightly, and the emerging family, relying on himself in front of Emperor Xian, began to dig the corners of Shi Tao and Fang Guang!

A cold glint flashed in Xun Yu's eyes, and he coughed lightly.

"Lord, I heard that the demon Jia Xu in Guanzhong was back then, and now Zhang Xiujun is in the army, and Zhang Xiu's department is Zhang Jixiliang's lineage, fierce and good at fighting!"

"With Jia Xu's wisdom! Berning's move to mobilize the people's power is also reasonable! ”

Xun Yu helped Man Pet to cover up, but Guo Jia realized that half of the matter was coming, and he couldn't help but sneer softly.

"How can Zhang Xiu dare to covet Xuchang? Berning is going to transfer troops and people!"

"Your Majesty's wedding, marrying the daughter of the Dong family, there are less than three months left, and the palace has not yet been completed, and the last thing to blame is not Datong built by the commander-in-chief Xuchang?"

Cao Cao sensed a different taste from Xun Yu and Guo Jia's words, his eyes couldn't help but condense, and he coughed lightly twice.

"Lu Bu is not broken, why should you worry about things thousands of miles away? Defeat Lu Bu, get Xuzhou, return to Xuchang, and everything will be clear!"

"Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, and you two look at it, how to capture Picheng?"

When Cao Cao was standing at the edge of the city in a daze, Cao Ying's humerus Xun Yu and Guo Jia were already thinking hard about how to break the enemy.

Both of them are heroes whose resourcefulness is not under Wolong and Phoenix, and they have actually thought of a strategy to break the city.

"Lord, it has always been clever to take the city, it is nothing more than water and fire, it is not good to set fire to Xiapi, but it is surrounded by Surabaya and Yishui, the terrain is low, and the strategy of flooding can be used!"

"Lu Bu is afraid of tunneling, has already cut the surrounding civil engineering of Xiapi into several layers, compared to Surabaya, the Yishui River is quite high, digging from the south of the city, draining and irrigating, then Xiapi will be broken!"

Xun Yu, Guo Jia's words, even Cao Cao's heart, Meng Dewen's face was happy, and he was about to praise the two of them for their strategy, when they suddenly went down to the south of Picheng, the sound of horses' hooves, mixed with wooden shovels, the sound of iron rakes digging the soil, and the shouting of the mixed soldiers came from a distance.

Below Cao Cao, the generals were suspicious in their hearts, and looked up to see that Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, who disappeared from the battlefield last night, were coming from the south of the city with a few heads hanging in front of no one to mount.

Behind the three of them, a black fat man, all the generals recognized it as Guan Yu's little brother Zhou Cang, who was digging the soil very fast, like a wild boar shaving food, and had already dug out the river and went straight to the moat outside Xiapi City.

Cao Cao's face was full of surprise, and there was a hint of appreciation, he didn't expect that Da'er's execution was so strong, and he came up with a strategy to break the enemy, and that end had already begun to dig and drain.

Liu Guanzhang and the three of them came together, and from a distance, Da Er saw the surprise on Cao Cao's face, and the heartstrings he was carrying, so he was relieved.

Xuande's acting skills, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, ranked firmly at the level of the actor, the big ears were confused, and the pride was mixed with the complex facial expressions of shame, Pegasus came to Cao Cao's side.

"Gong Cao, last night Gao Shunjun took advantage of the chaos to attack the camp, and he was not prepared for the thief army, thinking about Lu Bu's whole army coming out, and Xiapi was empty, so he went against the thieves and attacked the south gate of Xiapi!"

"But I didn't expect that the thieves in the city were quite tightly guarded, and Xia Pi was in a hurry, so he could only retreat and attack the Yishui embankment in the south of the city!"

"Lu Bu's general Hou Cheng, the soldiers under his command, are all Yun Chang, although the wing is broken, Hou Cheng is even stabbed to death for the third brother, at this moment, Yishui is already in my hands!"

"I am ordering Feng Xiao Pang Shiyuan, leading the army to drain, it won't be long before Yishui enters the Xiapi moat, this city, below four feet, is all in the water!"

Liu Bei's face was full of energy, and his face was full of ash, and he didn't have time to wipe it, and he looked like he had worked hard all night!

Cao Cao listened to his words, and then looked at Yun Chang and Zhang Fei behind his big ears, all of them were tired, their armor was full of blood, and a little mustard in their hearts disappeared in an instant, and they looked up and laughed.

"Okay, Xuande really knows the art of war, Feng Xiao? But the Pang Tong who is as famous as Datong? This person also voted under Xuande? ”

"Yes, Pang Shiyuan said, I have admired my personality for a long time, my integrity, and I deliberately came thousands of miles to vote, Mr. is a learned person, a sincere person, I deserve it!"

"Naturally, to serve me is to serve Ming Gong, this plan to dig up the soil and drain the water is what Feng Xiao came up with!"

"Xuande is really a sycamore in the world, this is the phoenix to vote, the phoenix, the unicorn, the wolong, I have the second, why worry about the world is uncertain, wait until the river is watered, and the next Pi will be broken!"
