Chapter 286: Zang Ba is worried, and the rewards are continuous
It seems that he guessed correctly, and the upstream is indeed in Tunshui.
In fact, if Zang Ba hadn't made trouble here, he probably would have secretly led someone to Dongping Shouzhang to investigate one or two, and then it would be better to go to Onozawa to have a look.
After all, if the upstream is really flooded, the water level will definitely rise in this rainy weather.
And when the water level rises to a certain point, there is no need to send troops, just open the gates, and the tens of thousands of soldiers they are guarding in Dongjun will be solved without much effort!
Looking at the current scene, it is obvious that the other party has premeditated!
Mo said that it was the tens of thousands of soldiers right now, but I was afraid that the entire Dongjun would fall into an ocean because of this.
"Why bother? Why bother? ”
Yu Ban looked up to the sky and roared, his face was hideous, but he didn't know who to send it to.
Judging from the current situation, even if he really has the ability to kill Zang Ba, I'm afraid it will be useless.
It was only now that he had completely woken up, and Zang Ba's coming here was just a bait from Xi Yufang, and he was still complacent about himself and Xiahou Chun for that little victory.
I don't know······ That's what this bait does at its best, paralyzing them with a few innocuous victories, distracting them from thinking about and thinking about more.
In the end, after the harvest began, he dealt a heavy blow to everyone.
Whether it is these generals and soldiers, or the people in the territory, there is no way to evacuate without defense, which leads to the fact that the army and civilians have no way to avoid and escape······
In a matter of moments, under the ravages of pouring rain and floods, the endless golden fields were turned into a vast ocean.
Seeing this scene, Zang Ba was also a little stunned, and then a kind of apprehension inexplicably rose in his heart, even if he hadn't seen it, he knew very well how harmful the flood disaster was to people.
But what he didn't expect was that Xi Yu could even be artificially controlled by natural disasters, which is too exaggerated, right?
If you have any thoughts in your heart in the future—
No!
It is my own willingness to follow the lord, and as long as I obey orders and act better in the future, it doesn't matter what I think or anything!
Soon, that apprehension dissipated, and with it was unprecedented respect and adoration.
It is his honor to be able to follow such a powerful lord!
Thoughts were a matter of a moment, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly led the army to fight and retreat.
Didn't you see that most of the soldiers and people who Xiahou Chun brought out to harvest grain and grass had been swept away by the flood? If you don't withdraw, will you still have to be with those people?
Indeed, as he said, it has already become a pot of porridge underneath.
The howling of the wind, the roar of the rain, the flooding, the trembling of the earth······ and the various life-saving voices that come out from time to time have turned the originally abundant fertile land into a purgatory-like existence.
Not to mention that the people could not find a way to live, even the soldiers were panicked and scattered everywhere by the flood.
This caused Xiahou Chun to bring heavy losses to the soldiers and horses, and he felt powerless when he saw the soldiers and horses that had been scattered.
Even if he wants to give an order, he has to find someone, and now most of the soldiers who came out to harvest grain and grass have been swept away in the flood, Mo said that finding a soldier and herald, he just wants to find a deputy general It is difficult.
In Puyang City, Yu Ban, who had no mind to go around in circles with Zang Ba, stood on the city wall, and with him were tens of thousands of Cao troops who guarded the city and had not yet had time to participate in the harvesting of grain and grass.
They stood here looking at the flooded fields in the distance, not knowing where to go.
Go down and save people? What do you take with the flood to rob? Take your own life? It's not enough for people to be huo.
You can watch it here······
Although deeply frightened and worried, ······ The only thing they can do at the moment seems to be to watch silently.
Even most of the soldiers couldn't bear it, they didn't dare to look at it, they didn't dare to listen to the wails from afar, and they turned their heads away.
This kind of flooding of the army can be described as vicious and vicious, and we have to admit how active and clever the strategy of the person who can come up with this method is.
It is a misfortune for everyone to be remembered by such an enemy!
But it is undeniable that on the battlefield, to be merciful to the enemy is to be irresponsible to oneself!
As the lord of an army, Xi Yu can think of such a staggering plan, which is really amazing, after all, if you are a bystander, in this heavy rain, I am afraid that I will be haggard just by grabbing the harvest, where can I think of using this to deal with the enemy?
As for what is said to be vicious, that's only for the loser.
And the vanquished have the least right to speak.
Therefore, when this matter is over, I am afraid that the name of Xi Yu can still resound in the world.
Taking advantage of the flood disaster, the backhand buried the enemy's grain base, not to mention, but also destroyed the enemy's tens of thousands of horses, this strategy, can not be described as a classic, flooded army, can not be described as spectacular!
"Fujun, the floodgates have been opened, please leave quickly!"
I don't know where it came from, a call made Zang Ba breathe a long sigh of relief, and then completely stopped thinking about continuing to fight with the enemy.
Hurriedly led the rest of the group to retreat.
"Withdraw, brothers, we can go back!"
"No!"
Whether it was Zang Ba or the thousands of soldiers behind him, they all rode their horses with smiles on their faces and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
Soon, they galloped all the way and disappeared into the mountains and forests not far away.
In just one night, Yanzhou East County, especially most of the surrounding mountains, fields, and towns along the Puhe River Basin in the northeast of Yanzhou County, were almost flooded, and became one after another hard-hit areas.
The river embankment was also overwhelmed by the flood and collapsed in a large area, giving the greatest help to the flood pouring down.
Under the background of natural disasters, Fang Xian human beings are so small and helpless.
Xiahou Chun's soldiers and horses couldn't escape at all, and a few have lost more than half of them to this day.
I don't know if they were just scattered by the flood and lost contact, or if they were ······ Huangquan has long been killed······
As for Xiahou Chun himself, he is a big one.
At the first time he saw the flood, in addition to shouting at everyone and retreating, he himself rode a war horse and fled at an unusual speed.
Now he was chased by the flood and fled into Puyang City, and survived.
It's just that the current Puyang City is also covered by floods, and everyone is basically waiting on the beams, roofs, city walls and even trees······
In Shanyang County, Yanzhou, Xi Yu, Dian Wei and Zhang Wenyuan, who had already stationed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, led the soldiers to wait for news here.
The three of them gathered around the campfire, roasting mutton, and no one said a word.
Fortunately, a few days later, Zang Ba returned with the remnants of the army.
He stood outside Xi Yu's tent, quite apprehensive in his heart.
Although he returned safely, he did not know if the military order he had made was completed.
Originally, it was said that it would be a surprise attack and delay for at least seven days after burning the enemy's granary, but who would have thought that he would suffer two defeats in a row as soon as he went, not to mention burning the granary, and even the soldiers under his command were killed and wounded more than half.
Fortunately, the third attack had an effect, and he successfully destroyed the enemy's granary, but he didn't last for seven days, so he didn't know what to say when he saw Xi Yu at this time.
He was uneasy, and even his legs that were waiting outside the tent were a little trembling.
In the tent, Xi Yu is still discussing important matters with Guo Jia.
This time they came to Shanyang Realm, and they brought a lot of soldiers.
This huge camp tent stretches for hundreds of miles in the surrounding area, basically covering the entire Shanyang County.
But their main purpose here was to harvest grain and grass.
Of course, this is only for now!
Hundreds of thousands of troops with farming tools, together with the people, worked in the fields in full swing, and in the eyes of the smiling people, everything was so prosperous and beautiful.
In fact, they have been harvesting grain and grass here for a few days, and Zhuge Kongming has also been very comfortable in dealing with the current situation because of the rich policies of the people before.
After all, the family is a big business, with the help of a large number of soldiers and more advanced harvesting tools, supplemented by wooden oxen and horses for transportation, not to mention the fast cutting, even the harvest is extremely fast.
Because of the simple operation, fast action and good connection, in just a few days, a lot of new grain has been stored in the temporary granary.
"Lord, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that there is not much grain in Dongjun, and now it is being ravaged by floods, so I don't think there is much reserve anymore."
"Perhaps, in a few days, Xiahou Chun, who took the lead in holding back, will withdraw his troops!"
Speaking of which, Guo Jia was originally a military advisor in the army, but now that Xi Yu is here, he feels that there is no need to use his brain to do bad things, so he took the initiative to take on the work of the main book.
It's okay to report information, but it's okay to make suggestions.
Not to mention whether he has the brain of the lord or not, the more he will do this kind of thing, but as long as he is a qualified subordinate, he will definitely not be able to do it.
"Judging from Xiahou Chun's style of acting, he must know that if he fights with us at this time, he will definitely be defeated, so it is very likely that he will abandon Dongjun."
Guo Jia put down the pen in his hand and continued: "So······ From time to time, our black riders have a chance to enter East County? Into their army? ”
Xi Yu glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
I have to say that Guo Jia is becoming more and more insidious now.
He and Kong Ming are both quite intelligent people, but one is open-minded and likes to fight the enemy openly, and the other always likes to play yin, as long as he can win in the end, he can think of all kinds of bad ideas.
It seems that it was a wise move for me to hand over all the light and dark whistles in my hand to this guy in the first place.
Over the past few years, the light and dark sentinels in Qingxu and Xu have performed their duties, and the messages delivered have always been timely, effective, and accurate!
Speaking of which, there are really a lot of capable and righteous people under his hands.
Everyone has an extremely prominent and best field, and after maximizing their advantages, one by one is not like others who want to compete and be jealous and intrigue all day long.
The cooperation between each other is extremely tacit.
They get along harmoniously and naturally have a great impact on the development of each other's clans.
It's just that among them, the most vigorous one is to lose Zhuge Clan.
The Langya Zhuge family, although it is not a big family in terms of name, and the time of its rise is relatively short, there are not a few people who are officials in this family.
The most important thing is that they are basically still officials under Xi Yu.
On the other hand, Guo Jia's clan is relatively smaller.
After all, his family is thin, that is, it is only in his generation that it begins to spread out, and there are so many descendants.
Speaking of which, Xi Yu has always felt very lucky.
Because whether it is Zhuge Kongming, Guo Jia, or even Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe and others, they are all existences that make him feel at ease.
Perhaps because of his humble background, he is particularly grateful for his kindness and loyalty.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the great cause they set out to accomplish when they decided to follow themselves.
After all, judging from the current situation, although the great cause has not yet succeeded, the future of drama is promising!
After taking a few deep glances at Guo Jia, Xi Yucai said with a smile: "It seems that I can rest assured that I will leave the strategic affairs to you in the future." ”
The lord laughed.
Guo Jia calmly arched his hand, and there was no excitement and joy on his face, and then said: "Thanks to the lord's view, the so-called thing is just a matter of duty, and I only hope to be able to share the worries of the king." ”
Although he doesn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding next to Xi Yu, it is only compared to Xi Yu.
In fact, he is quite an arrogant person, but he has never shown himself in front of a better actor than himself.
"Alright, since you've guessed my next plan, you'll leave the matter to you."
Xi Yu waved his hand, Guo Jia was surprised, and turned around to leave.
Anyway, the relationship between him and the lord has always been like this, when there is something to talk about, and if there is nothing to do, they don't disturb each other.
As soon as he lifted the curtain, a voice asking for instructions came from outside the door.
Zang Ba, who was originally going to Dongjun to "surprise attack" Xiahou Chun, was waiting outside the camp to be summoned.
Speaking of this guy, he is also pitiful, he has never fought such a humiliating battle when he was in Taishan County.
The most important thing is that he has always thought that he is just an insignificant existence in this battle, but who would have thought that he would be used as an introduction by the lord to attract all the attention of the enemy.
And the real main force is not who he thinks, but the flood!
But even if he was used, he didn't dare to be half dissatisfied.
The main reason is that the benefits given by the lord are too great, and the promise of the marquis to worship the prime minister is too tempting.
Fortunately, he was fortunate to live up to his life and won a big victory!
It's just ······ I didn't last for seven days, and I don't know what the Lord Guild would do with him?
"My lord, the last general is back."
Zang Ba walked in nervously and looked at Xi Yu, who was sitting on the main seat, and bent down.
Seeing his drama, he was very happy, smiling, quickly stepped forward and patted the other party's back, and said: "The victory of this battle, you should make the first contribution, from now on Mount Tai is your fiefdom, whether it is Tuntian, or the garrison, it is up to you!" ”
"In addition, I will also send people to Mount Tai to assist you in managing officials, stabilizing the morale of the army, stabilizing the people, and establishing official schools, but ······ You've got to give me peace of mind, too! ”
After the first half of the sentence was finished, Zang Ba, who was full of joy, smiled like a chrysanthemum.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the corners of his mouth stiffened slightly, and then he gradually restrained his smile.
This can be big or small, what is peace of mind, everyone knows it.
Although Zang Ba has always given people a feeling of being a bandit, like a stupid big man who is out of tune, but in fact, he can become the king of the mansion, and he still has some brains.
If not, he would not have chosen to surrender to Xi Yu with a strong will.
"Please rest assured, the last general will know what to do!"
Zang Ba's completely unsmiling face was absolutely serious.
He asked Xi Yu with a sincere face: "It's just that although the last general has four sons, the bottom two are too young and still need to be taken care of." ”
"On the contrary, the above two, now that they have reached the age of enlightenment, I wonder if I can implore the lord to take the two of them to Xiapi and study in Taixue?"
With a simple sentence, Xi Yu no longer has half a worry.
This guy looks like five big and three thick, but he's actually smart.
said that he was studying too much, but to put it bluntly, wasn't he just a proton under his nose?
At the same time, it is extremely precious for his entire family to give those two boys a chance to get in touch with him and even get to know him.
This is not a joke of arrogance, but looking at the whole world, he does have the qualifications to be sought after and pleased.
If those two boys are really talented in the future, and they are appreciated by themselves, and they change from being a proton to an existence with official positions and real power, it will be beneficial and harmless to his entire Zang Ba family.
"If I remember correctly, your eldest son should be sixteen this year, and the second son should be fifteen this year, and both have practiced martial arts and read books, since you have this will, I should be satisfied, I believe that you are also a smart person and know what to do."
"In a word, as long as you do what you have to do, I will not treat you and your brothers badly!"
"The lord is righteous, and the last general is here to thank the lord!"
The overjoyed Xi Yu fell to his knees on the spot, leaned down, and knocked three times.
He knew very well that he had a few catties and a few taels, and although he was strict under his rule and never retreated, it was somewhat almost meaningless to take on the honor and blessing of the entire family.
But what he didn't know was that it was the meaning of the difference, which made Xi Yu more at ease.
Because in his view, this is the best expression of faithfulness!
"Okay, now that the reward has been given, then let's get to the point, let me ask you, what do you think of our current development?"
"This ······"
The sudden change of topic made Zang Ba hesitate a little, he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Xi Yu, but if he said it realistically······ It seems to be a bit of a bad thing, isn't it easy to offend people?
Therefore, he said cautiously: "It should be ······ It's OK? ”
"The most ······ At the very least, we have no worries in Qingxu, where there have been no natural disasters for many years, and with your command and proper leadership, the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life. ”
"In addition, the emergence of commercial banks and the rise of business roads have also added a lot of confidence and help to us, and there is no need to worry about food and grass in the territory, not to mention, even the soldiers have already exceeded 400,000!"
"In addition to these, there is a reserve army composed of nearly 100,000 recruits in the territory, and among the hundreds of civil and military officials, there are countless people with lofty ideals, talents, and meritorious deeds.
