Chapter 422: Together

The sound of rain was like a note, and Sun Quan in the camp was upset, and he was about to break the city, but because of this heavy rain, he stopped and fell short.

When he was depressed, the soldiers came in with medicinal soup, the curtain was opened, and when he saw the water column outside the door, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly pass Lu Fan and Jia Hualai." ”

The two entered the account, and Sun Quan instructed: "Heaven does not help me, so that Cao Jun has a chance to breathe, if you wait for the sky to clear, it will be difficult to attack the city again, and you need to find another good strategy." ”

Lu Fan frowned and said: "It's the rainy season, and the weather in Huainan is like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to send troops." ”

Sun Quan sneered: "There is a plan, and it is easy to break the longevity of spring." ”

Lu Fan asked, "I don't know what the lord's plan is?" ”

Sun Quan's eyes were slightly cold, and he said slowly: "In the past, the governor of the capital broke through Shouchun, can the two generals still remember how the Cao army recaptured the city?" ”

"This matter shook Huainan, the world knows it, how can the last general ......" Lu Fan was speaking, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "The lord doesn't want to ......"

"Not bad!" Sun Quan nodded slightly, clenched his fists and said: "If you don't break Shouchun, you won't be allowed to step into the Central Plains, the last time it was calculated by thieves, this time I used Cao Thief's strategy to break his city, this is the reason for the reincarnation of heaven!" ”

Lu Fan hurriedly persuaded: "Previously, Cao Jun flooded Shouchun, which was a great loss of popularity, if the lord used this plan, I am afraid it would be inappropriate." ”

"Cao Cao is drowning, can't he be drowned?" Sun Quan shouted: "How many Jiangdong boys have died in Shouchun, how about tens of thousands of people in Huainan? Liu Qi has taken the Guanzhong, will break the Central Plains, if he does not enter the army, the big thing will go! ”

Jia Hua hugged his fists and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, more than half of the battalions have been lost recently, and the generals have retreated, if we had used this strategy to keep our troops, we would have already stepped into the Central Plains." ”

Sun Quan looked at the two and said: "The two generals are my henchmen, so this plan is only discussed with the two of you, Jia Hua needs to take care of the Chinese army, and can only be led by Ziheng, Jia Hua selected a thousand henchmen from the guard, pretending to be the people to dig the embankment, this matter must not be revealed." ”

Seeing that Sun Quan trusted him so much, Lu Fan also knew that this matter had a great impact, so he hugged his fists and said: "The lord commands, and the liver and brain will be wiped out at the end." It's just that once the embankment is dug, the water is difficult to control, and the soldiers and horses of the battalions outside the city need to be evacuated as soon as possible. ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "Ziheng went to prepare, and later I convened the generals to discuss the matter, only saying that the rainy season is coming, and it is impossible to attack the city, so I have to retreat overnight." ”

Lu Fan took the order and left, Jia Hua was about to pass the order to raise the account, but Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, withdraw at this time, if you are detected by Cao Junsen, you will be vigilant." ”

Jia Hua wondered: "When will I report?" ”

Sun Quan got up, walked out of the case slowly, and calmly calculated: "It will take two hours for Lu Fan to go to the riverbank, it will take an hour for 500 people to dig the river, and it will take more than an hour for the flood to come here. ”

Jia Hua hugged his fists and said: "The lord is wise, our army retreats, and the flood will pour into Shouchun, and the Cao army will be unprepared, so that they can also taste the taste of flooding." ”

"The so-called retribution is unpleasant, this time it will make the thief suffer the consequences!"

Sun Quan stood in front of the camp gate with his hands in his hands, feeling the cold wind blowing through the crack in the door, and he had a great strategizing bearing.

LΓΌ Meng had sent people to report the news, smoothly crossed the river to the north, bribed local officials in the coastal areas, and the men and horses were gathering to prepare to attack Tan County.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether he can break through Shouchun, as long as Cao Ren's forces are trapped in the city, LΓΌ Meng can take advantage of the emptiness of Xuzhou to take Donghai County.

Cao Ren's whole army was annihilated, and the Jiangdong naval army could go north to take Pengcheng, and then unite with Zhou Yu's men and horses, and then lead the army by himself, and the three roads were launched together, and Xuzhou was already in the bag.

……

Chang Diao led the troops to the upper reaches of Huaishui, where there is the Nancha River to Shouchun, which is where Cao Jun dug the embankment.

Nearly four watches, Cao Jun braved the rain to the shore, most of the torches were extinguished by the rain, the flickering light did not dare to venture to the other side, Chang Diao divided the men and horses into three teams, and took turns digging the embankment on the east bank.

When he was busy, Lu Fan led the troops from the west bank to arrive quietly, but was inevitably discovered by the Cao army, Lu Fan detoured from the south fork of the riverbank, saw the fire by the river embankment, thought that the Cao army had been prepared, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

The soldiers were ordered to hide in the distance, and quietly came to the shore with ten guards, but they faintly heard a clanging sound, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

When I looked closely, I saw many people on the other side of the river, wielding shovels and struggling to dig the river embankment.

"Hiss-" Lu Fan was taken aback, frowned and said, "Could it be that Wu Hou doesn't trust me enough and sends another team of men to dig the embankment?" ”

Thinking of his own advice in the tent, Sun Quan looked displeased, Lu Fan sighed in his heart, and immediately beckoned the soldiers from afar, ordering everyone to do it immediately, and not to slack off.

Here, Wu Jun lit torches and moved, and Cao Jun on the opposite side was also stunned, and raised shovels and pickaxes one after another, but saw that the opposite side only lowered his head to dig the embankment, and there was no weapon in his hand.

After a short period of surprise, Chang Diao shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, what are you digging for?" ”

Cao Jun saw that there were only ordinary people on the other side, only shovels, no bows and arrows, and the two were facing each other across the river, but there was no threat, so they started again.

"Boss, what's going on?" The commander who was resting in the back was confused.

Chang Diao sneered: "This must be because the people of Huainan are unbearable to be oppressed by the Wu army, and they privately organize people to dig the Huai River, and they want to drown all the Wu dogs." ”

The commander scolded with a smile: "Sun Quan, a capricious villain, attacked Hefei last time, and was killed by General Zhang Xiaoyaojin to lose his armor, and this time he came to besiege Hefei, but he was defeated in the hands of the boss, if you can drown Sun Quan, the boss, you will become famous in a battle!" ”

"It's still early!" Chang Diao's eyes bloomed with a smile, but he said: "It's all up to all the brothers, and everyone will be rewarded after the success." Add another 500 people, and they will all give me more strength, but I can't lose to those mud legs. ”

The commander of the thousand men gave the order, and immediately went to the rear to give the order, and Cao Jun all cheered and got up, and crowded to the shore to excavate, scrambling to be the first, so lively.

"Speed up, don't make a mistake!" When Lu Fan heard the cheers from the other side, he thought that they were going to grab the credit, so he personally grabbed a shovel and excavated.

The men and horses on both sides struggled to dig the embankment on the east and west banks, and in the dim light of the fire, shovels were waving, and the sound of iron tools and rain played a harmonious scene of labor.

The embankment, which had taken at least more than an hour to be dug up, was dug up by two teams of men and horses in unison, competing with each other, and in less than a meal, a hole one zhang wide was dug.

The raging river crashed into the embankment, breaking the remaining earth and rocks, and the stone gate left in the middle was useless, like an isolated island that was instantly submerged by the torrent.

Boom Boom –

The surging Huai River water poured down again, overflowed the course of the Nancha River, spread to both banks, and rushed away in the direction of Shouchun.

"Well done!" Chang Diao looked at the people on the other side of the river, beckoned the soldiers to step back, and laughed: "The blue eyes are unpopular, and the heavens will punish them, go back to the city and hand over the order." ”

Cao Jun waved his shovel and cheered away, they all understood that if this flood went down, the Wu army would be annihilated, and the siege of Shouchun would be relieved, and they would not have to worry about defending the city in the future.
