Chapter 536 - The Focus of the Battlefield
Guo Jia always felt that he had ignored something at this time, but he had deduced the battle situation countless times, but he couldn't find out where he had ignored it.
He had already listed all the generals and strategists under Liu Bei's command who were eye-catching and capable of turning the situation around, and also listed their positions.
But I didn't find what I had overlooked.
This gave him a headache, but there was nothing he could do...
But Guo Jia is Guo Jia after all, although he doesn't know what is wrong with him, and he doesn't even know if he thinks too much.
But still after the discussion was over, Xun You, another military advisor under Cao Mengde, told his own Wei Gong his thoughts and gave his opinion.
"Transfer General Cao Ren to Runan and prepare to attack Jiangxia County.
If Guan Yu was really poor in donkey skills, then when he was defeated, it would be when General Cao Ren invaded Jiangling and began to occupy Jingbei.
But if... Then General Cao Ren can also defend the gate of Yuzhou, so as not to let the Central Plains lose.
Meantime... Send a message to General Yuan Rang and ask him to prepare, no matter whether we win or lose this battle, we must go south to Yangzhou to solve the big trouble of Jiangdong..."
In addition, the army was temporarily handed over to Yu Ban, and at the same time General Cao Chun was ordered to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to the rear of Quewei Mountain, so that if Guan Yu was defeated, he could directly enter Jingzhou and occupy the north of Hanshui.
If Guan Yu really has any means, he can also be transferred to Jiangxia County immediately, and General Cao Ren will pick him up. ”
Jia Xu also arranged the layout of Jiangdong later, and it can be said that unless the sky falls, he will definitely be able to keep the main force of the Cao army and the elite of his clan, and then exchange for the greatest victory.
This is Jia Xu's calculation is not missing, and he will be defeated before he wins....
And Cao Mengde, after hearing Guo Jia and Xun You's opinions, nodded silently after a short silence.
I think this thing is still very necessary!
Once again, the deployment of troops and horses appeared on the battlefield, and the battlefield in Jingzhou finally ushered in an opportunity for change...
"Boom~"
With the sound of thunder, at the beginning of August of the 25th year of Jian'an, the annual rainy season in Jingzhou finally arrived as scheduled and reached its peak.
"This year's rainy season seems to be a little later than usual..."
In the Guan Yu camp in Queweipo, Guan Yu, who had already received news from the rear, seemed to be not too worried on the surface, and he didn't even look worried.
doesn't care at all, his son is in danger now.
At this time, Guan Yu stood on the high platform with his hands in his hands, looking at the gloomy sky in the distance, his face was a little calm.
But in his eyes... But it is a gloomy color that cannot be contained.
A few days ago, he had already received the news of Xu Huang's helpless retreat and the danger of Jiangling, of course, this was given to him by Cao Jun below.
Especially Cao Ren, who also put on a very kind appearance at this time.
said that he was going to officially go to Runan to fight with his eldest brother, in preparation for attacking Jiangxia County and attacking his eldest brother, which was a "parting gift" for him.
This kind of words made Guan Yu not even have the idea of sneering in his heart, of course he knew that this was just Cao Ren's desire to finally break his military morale and morale.
But even if you understand it, what can you do, now in the eyes of everyone.
I'm afraid that he Guan Yu is really helpless, and now his rear is secretly attacked by Jiangdong, and the calculation in front is blocked by Cao's army, and the embankment is still strong in the upper reaches of the Han River.
And his main force was trapped, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba teamed up to stage Liu Bei's return, so that he couldn't get out quickly.
Seeing that the rainy season has arrived, and then step by step to the peak.... Everyone thought that Guan Yu had exhausted his donkey skills, and everyone was waiting for Guan Yu to fight to the death with them at the last moment....
But is that really the case?
Just when this thunder sounded, Guan Yu finally stepped down from the high platform and came to the rear of the camp under the escort of Zhou Cang.
In today's Queweipo camp, Cao's army has completely given up the attack.
After all, they are not stupid, they are so guarded, no one can break through before Guan Yu evacuates.
Instead of wasting the lives of the troops and soldiers, it is better to besiege with peace of mind, and use the stupidest and most effective way to consume Guan Yu to death.
However, Guan Yu wants this effect, no one disturbs, and he can do his own thing with peace of mind.
In this way, under the gaze of Cao Jun, Guan Yu's subordinates at this time had already made all the preparations.
"General, now that we have completed the construction of the raft and boat, although we can't run rampant on the Yangtze River, it is enough to deal with the surge in the river..."
Zhou Cang and Guan Yu came to the hot back camp, looking at the soldiers who were working hard to build the warship, and then looking at the rafts that had been built and were being dried and finished, they couldn't help but be happy on their faces.
Of course, Zhou Cang is actually a bit of a pity.
"If it weren't for the lack of tools and time for us, we would definitely build a few real warships here, so that Cao Jun can see the ability of my Jingzhou Navy!"
"Hahaha...."Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, and then he shook his head and nodded his finger at Zhou Cang, "Yuanfu, you really dare to think that if I really do this."
So where can Cao Jun not be able to see it?
After all, it is still possible to build some boats silently, just use what we have in our hands.
The warship... Hahaha...
Besides, if it's not in the middle of the river, why do you need a warship?
If it is seen at that time, it will be a real failure! ”
Looking at the generals around him who were getting more and more spicy, Zhou Cang couldn't help but think of the years that he had accompanied the generals over the years, and at the same time sighed that unconsciously, they had spent so many years.
"General... Will Cao Jun really be fooled! ”
After inspecting the camp and making sure that all preparations were in place and there were no omissions, the two of them returned to their Chinese army tent in the rain and in the rain.
Feeling the chill on his body, although Zhou Cang knew that he shouldn't say so at this time, he couldn't help but ask again.
There's so much at stake in this battle, even about their future, whether they have a future...
It's also about whether Liu Bei has a future....
In this battle, he can't be cautious, and he can't be worried!
"Yuanfu is scared?"
"What did the general say!" Zhou Cang's already somewhat dark face is now three points darker, "Even if Zhou Cang's head is taken off today, Zhou Cang will definitely not frown!"
It's just that... Cang doesn't want to look at the general right here..."
"Hahaha..."Looking at Zhou Cang's tangled and worried look, Guan Yu suddenly burst out with a burst of crazy laughter.
That indulgent appearance was completely different from his proud but reserved appearance in the past, as if he had completely let go of all his restraints at this time.
"General..."
"Yuan Fu Mo has to worry!" Guan Yu directly waved his hand, and his face changed from wild to confident, "This time, that Cao Jun has already entered the hub of our waiting, and they are categorically unable to escape."
They did prevent the embankment in the upper reaches of the Han River, and they did know something about this Jingzhou!
But what can it be?
They thought that as long as they kept the embankment, they could hold the Hanshui River and stop the flood in this rainy season?
Wrong! Miss by a mile!
In the past, they wreaked havoc on the Hanshui River without authorization, forcing us to move all the people of Hanzhong, Shangyong and even Nanyang into other cities.
Back then, in order to delay our footsteps, they wantonly destroyed this Han water, so that I waited for all these years to barely maintain the grain.
Over the years, for the sake of grain, grass, money and grain, how many good ministers and officials have died of exhaustion on the case, and they have fallen between the fields and rivers....
Today is the time for them to pay their debts.
Over the years, we have to repair rivers and dams, but even then Jingzhou will still not have a flash flood.
And this time, we did not dredge the river and repair the embankment after the winter festival last year, and the general also asked the old man in Jingzhou.
This year's rainy season seems to be different from previous years, more crazy and more dangerous.
Mr. Zhuge also wrote to me before that the weather in Jingzhou this year is unique, and I am afraid that there will be flash floods, so I must be cautious..."
After Guan Yu finished speaking, the ruddy on his face seemed to be a little more vivid, and his momentum became a little more aggressive.
"They did a good job, they were supposed to be waiting for the day.
But what I want is not the time of this embankment, but this rainy season!
That Xu Huang... And even that.. That majesty is just a trick by Ben and his eldest brother. ”
In August of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, the plum rainy season in Jingzhou broke out completely, raining day and night for nine consecutive days, and many people said that the rain was rare in their lives....
Eventually, the already weak embankment and Hanshui River were again broken down by the heavy rain, and the embankment was washed away, and the Hanshui River was completely eroded.
The flood not only spread to Nanyang, but even the entire Jingbei almost became a Ze country, and even the Jiangdong army almost collapsed because of this flood...
Half of the Han River was completely out of control, and for a while, the water rushed from top to bottom, and the Cao army company camp under the Quewei Slope was completely crushed in this flood in an instant.
The spread of the flood caused heavy casualties to the Cao army, and countless Cao army generals and soldiers frantically looked for a place to ascend, wanting to flee for their lives quickly.
At this time, hundreds of rafts and boats were carried out of Guan Yu's camp...
In the shock of the generals of the Cao army, countless Jingzhou soldiers rushed out, maneuvering the boat, extremely skilled...
"Jingzhou Water Army, kill the enemy with me!"
