Chapter 398: Guo Jia's plan
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Who can be blamed for this?" At the beginning, we had to rush up to help Chen Yan, but now that we have lost our troops, do we have to blame Chen Yan again? How can there be such a reason in the world? ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he really didn't know how to answer for a while, and even Guan Yu was a little speechless.
That's right, Liu Bei originally came to Chen Yan to fight here, to see if he could rely on Chen Yan's bridge to climb high branches, climb the dragon and attaching the phoenix to the Son of Heaven, but I didn't expect Chen Yan This guy is really not simple, not only did he not let Liu Bei succeed, but also hacked Liu Bei first.
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, although he was proficient in the art of deception, he was afraid that he was still a little deficient compared to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan is ruthless and scheming, and he is really a powerful character.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but lower his head, whether he continued to follow Chen Yan, or retreated in time, he was inconclusive for a while, after all, in order to please the Son of Heaven and Chen Yan, Liu Bei Xuzhou was also dedicated to Lu Bu, and the 30,000 soldiers under his command were all wiped out, and he was afraid that he could only go one way to the dark now.
……
Chen Yan had already led the army back to the camp in a blink of an eye, and then sent someone to allocate 20,000 horses to Liu Bei to apologize, but after all, these 20,000 horses are Chen Yan's old subordinates, Chen Yan is known as the Heavenly Master, and has a high prestige in the army, so these 20,000 people are loyal to Chen Yan.
Liu Bei originally thought that Chen Yan was going to kill himself, but he didn't expect that he could gain 20,000 people after losing 25,000 people, which can be regarded as overjoyed.
Guan Yu seemed to have a little change in his opinion of Chen Yan, although he felt that it was indeed dishonorable for Chen Yan to let the three brothers take the lead in dealing with Ji Ling, but after receiving Chen Yan's 20,000 compensation soldiers and horses, he felt that it was nothing.
Chen Yan returned to his army with everyone to discuss the next step.
Everyone just sat down, and suddenly Guo Jia hurriedly came back from outside, it was already summer, the weather was changing, and the sky was still sunny just now, and the clouds began to cover at this time, and it would not be long before a heavy rain was inevitable.
Guo Jia seemed to be afraid of being drenched in the heavy rain, so he walked in a hurry, and just entered the tent, he said: "Lord, the enemy is just around the corner!" ”
Chen Yan heard it a little strangely, this Ji Ling's army is still mighty, and although Chen Yan has repeatedly defeated, he has never been able to hurt Ji Ling's vitality, and now Guo Jia said that the enemy is in front of him, and he really doesn't know what he means.
I only listened to Guo Jia's eloquent words: "Lord, I went out of the city today to explore, and suddenly found that there is a water upstream of the camp where the Ji Ling army is stationed, this water is called Rushui, which is the largest water flow outside Xucheng, and now that summer has just arrived, the upstream water potential has increased, we just need to build a dam, and then dig water to attack it, Ji Ling's army has heavy armor, how can it survive in the water?" ”
When Chen Yan heard this, he suddenly shouted: "Clever plan, wonderful plan! Feng Xiao is clever and good at using the terrain, and he is really the mastermind! ”
Everyone praised it repeatedly, which shows that Guo Jia's plan is indeed feasible.
Even Jia Xu nodded and smiled: "I originally wanted to use the scorching summer sun to break through Ji Ling, but it seems that I don't need it now." ”
Chen Yan nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, that's true, but if we openly go upstream to build a dam, Ji Ling will inevitably find out the clues." ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, don't forget that there are also the three brothers Liu Bei, they have just suffered a defeat, and they will definitely not attract Ji Ling's attention, even if they disappear suddenly, I'm afraid Ji Ling won't have too much consideration." ”
Chen Yan patted his thigh and said, "Okay, then according to what Feng Xiao said, I will immediately inform Xuande!" ”
……
But it was said that at this time, Liu Guanzhang was sitting in the tent sulking, no matter how Chen Yan remedied it afterwards, after all, once the loss was caused, the three of them were depressed and did not say a word.
was depressed, suddenly Sun Qian walked in and whispered to Liu Bei: "Lord, there is an order from General Chen Yan just now, let us go to Rushui thirty miles ahead tomorrow to build a dam......
Hearing this, Zhang Fei became angry all of a sudden, he stood up with a "poof" and roared loudly: "Damn it! What's that? Lao Tzu is one of the most fierce generals in the world, and he dares me to build a dam?! ”
Guan Yu was much calmer than Zhang Fei, he slowly stood up, his face was a little unkind, and he asked Sun Qian: "How do you say this?" ”
Liu Bei also looked at Sun Qian at the same time, and he also wanted to hear what Chen Yan's official reason for letting the three brothers do coolies.
Sun Qian said: "This ...... Listening to Mr. Guo Jia, it was because of the frequent rain recently, Chen Yan wanted to use water to break the enemy, and if they had any moves, they wouldn't be able to escape Ji Ling's eyes after all, so they bothered us to do it. ”
Zhang Fei scratched his head, as if he didn't understand what Sun Qian meant. Liu Bei and Guan Yu both understood at the same time, it turned out that Chen Yan had this idea.
Guan Yu and Liu Bei are not unreasonable people, since they heard that Chen Yan's reasons are very sufficient, they naturally have no complaints, after all, they are here to help Chen Yan, and strive to be able to make great contributions, and when the time comes, when they see the Son of Heaven, all their hard work will not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei stood up suddenly, and his whole body was full of energy, and he immediately said: "No need for tomorrow, Gongyou, you will help me select three thousand strong soldiers, and we will build the embankment today while it is still raining!" ”
Sun Qian didn't dare to slack off and took the order.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't expect their eldest brother to recover his vitality so quickly, they were both infected by him, and they immediately became active, eager to try in an instant, and waited to make meritorious contributions.
At this moment, Sun Gan, who had just walked out of the military tent, suddenly shouted, and then heard his saluting voice: "General! ”
Liu Bei and the two brothers were slightly stunned, and just as they were about to go out to take a look, they saw the curtain of the military tent lifted, and a white-haired young general walked in.
When the three brothers saw it, it turned out to be Chen Yan himself, and the three of them were a little surprised, Liu Bei was even more surprised, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the general." ”
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't like Chen Yan, they had to salute because of the number of courtesies.
Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "We are a family at this time, you don't have to be polite, now I came to take a look, just to apologize for letting you take the lead today." ”
When the three Taoyuan brothers heard Chen Yan's words, they were all shocked, and at the same time exclaimed, "What?!" ”
