Just when Cao Ang was about to find another way, Sun Ce in the south also adopted Zhou Yu's strategy of cutting off water and cutting off the source, so that Guiyang City had no water.

Huang Zu learned that the small river in the city had dried up overnight, so he couldn't help but hurriedly ran to the river to check.

When he saw the riverbed, which was still damp but had dried up, he instantly felt that the world was spinning.

If it weren't for someone next to him supporting him, I'm afraid he would have fallen headlong into this riverbed.

"Your Excellency!" After a subordinate next to him supported Huang Zu, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Huang Zu tilted his head, glanced at the subordinate, and couldn't help crying and said, "Look at the way I look now, do you seem to be okay?" ”

The subordinate was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Fortunately, Huang Zu sighed and barely stood up straight.

Seeing this, the subordinates on the side hurriedly relieved: "My lord, this must be a natural disaster, so this river will dry up." ”

Huang Zu glanced at the subordinate as if he was looking at a fool, and helplessly held his forehead and said, "How can I have such a stupid subordinate as you?" ”

"Around Guiyang City, the four seasons are like spring, the rain is abundant, you have lived for more than 30 years, when have you ever seen the river here dry up and flow?"

"This!" The subordinate's face was full of embarrassment, he was a military general, although his kung fu was not high, but he still had these common sense.

I was talking nonsense like that just now, I completely wanted to shoot the horse's ass, but I didn't shoot it well, and it hit the horse's hooves.

Huang Zu no longer looked in one direction, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be those two damn guys Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who blocked the upper reaches of this river and cut off the flow in Guiyang City." ”

When his subordinate heard this, he instantly understood.

But immediately, he raised a question: "My lord, this Sun Ce has cut off the river, isn't he afraid that the people downstream will have no water?" ”

Huang Zu looked at this subordinate of his own, and wanted to slap him to death.

"Do you have a brain, how much water do we need every day for tens of thousands of troops in the city?"

"At this time, it is not yet the spring planting season, how much water can those people downstream use?"

In fact, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce dared to do this, it was completely calculated.

It's not the spring planting season, and there's not much water.

Even if the river is cut off for a few days, it won't be much of a problem, after all, every village will have a well in case of emergency.

But the situation in Guiyang City is different, people can go without food for a few days, but they can't go without drinking water for a few days.

Huang Zu naturally knew this, and after he figured it out, he summoned all his subordinates.

"I believe you have all seen that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, two yellow-mouthed children, actually cut off the river, causing there is no water available in our Guiyang City."

"Now, there are two choices in front of us, one is to go out of the city and fight them to the death, and the other is to open the city gate and surrender."

Huang Zu's subordinates, when they heard these two options, all looked at each other.

Obviously, they don't want to choose either of these options.

Originally, they thought that with the strong and tall walls of Guiyang City, coupled with the sufficient military rations in the city, they could completely delay the withdrawal of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Unexpectedly, the water was cut off.

There is food and no water, which is the rhythm of trapping these tens of thousands of people in this city.

Everyone looked at each other, and the last subordinate stood up and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to fight to the death!" ”

Some people took the lead, and others joined in.

Huang Zu smiled when he saw this, and waved his hand lightly: "Okay, if you can't win, it's enough for you to have this heart, I don't want to see you die in vain." ”

"My lord......" The subordinate wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Huang Zu waving his hand.

Huang Zu got up and said to his subordinates: "Tonight, I will lead a team of men and horses to break out of the siege at night and find others to ask for help, and you will hold on to the city for two days." ”

"If I haven't come back within two days, then you don't have to insist, just open the city and surrender."

When Huang Zu's subordinates heard this, their faces were not very good.

And Huang Zu didn't say anything more, he went directly to the cavalry team in the city, picked twenty good players to come out, and prepared to break through tonight while the night was dark.

On the other side, Sun Ce was in the camp.

After Gan Ning cut off the water source of Guiyang City, Sun Ce sent people to Guiyang City to persuade him to surrender.

As a result, as soon as the people sent out spoke, they were forced back by the defenders in Guiyang City with bows and arrows.

Sun Ce looked at his subordinates who ran back in embarrassment, and couldn't help frowning: "This Huang Zu, do you still want to resist stubbornly?" ”

In fact, Sun Ce didn't want to wait until the defenders in Guiyang City were about to die of thirst before opening the city and surrendering.

In that case, he would have received nothing more than some remnants of the army.

What he hoped for was to be able to attack the heart and directly surrender the defenders in fear.

As a result, I didn't expect that the people sent out to surrender would come back so embarrassed.

So Sun Ce found Zhou Yu and asked a little puzzled: "Gong Jin, now that there is no water available in Guiyang City, why is the other party still unwilling to surrender?" ”

Zhou Yu looked at the map of Guiyang City and showed an unfathomable smile.

"Around this Guiyang City, there are all mountainous woodlands, I expect that this Huang Zu will definitely lead people in person tonight, and he wants to break out at night."

"Oh? Gongjin, how can you see it? Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu's confident appearance and asked curiously.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "With my understanding of Huang Zu, in the face of such a desperate situation, he will definitely not sit still, but will struggle for the end. ”

"It's just that Huang Zu is suspicious by nature, and he will definitely do such an important thing himself, and he will not teach it to others, so I concluded that he will definitely take advantage of the night to go out of the city tonight."

"This city is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, as long as he is allowed to escape into the deep mountains, with his knowledge of the surrounding terrain, I believe that he will soon be able to break out and find foreign help."

When Sun Ce heard this, he said with a solemn face: "Gong Jin, we have spent so much time here, if we let this guy Huang Zu escape, then we will fall short!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu also nodded slightly, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a location on the map.

"Bo Fu, don't worry, tonight, this Huang Zu will definitely break through from here, and when the time comes, let Gan Ning lead the troops and block him here."

When Sun Ce heard this, he frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "No, for the sake of insurance, I will personally lead the troops to intercept and kill Huang Zu tonight!" (End of chapter)
