Chapter 317
The next day, it rained heavily, no lightning, no thunder, only dense raindrops falling from the sky. After more than an hour, the rain still did not abate, and one flood after another remained from various mountain streams.
About ten miles upstream of the valley of Liu Tunbing, a simple dam was built with sand and stone, which gathered the floodwaters flowing down the mountain to form a small pool.
The water in the small pool is slowly rising, and there is a military camp on the edge of the waterhole, where hundreds of soldiers are stationed, and they keep reporting the changes in the water level here to Zhang Ling, the county captain in Mianzhu City.
"Heaven really help me!" In the county mansion, Zhang Ling looked very excited.
"Although this rain is lighter than before, it will not be clear for a while and a half, and by noon tomorrow, the collected rainwater, plus the small river that tributes the Peijiang River, will be enough to drown Deng Ai's 5,000 army, and Boqi's achievements will be now!" said Dong He.
"If this battle is won, and the young slaughter should be the first meritorious service, I will truthfully repay the lord!" Zhang Ling is very trustworthy and will never covet Dong He's merits.
"Although this battle can be won, Yizhou will be taken in the end..." Dong He felt sad in his heart.
"Youzai is worried about
Liu Bei?" "Why not a Liu Bei?" Dong He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "
If the weak eat the law today, if you don't want to forge ahead, you will eventually be destroyed." Not to mention the northern Cao Cao, that is, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, I am afraid that he has long intended to annex Yizhou. What's more, this time, the Lord Gong rashly raised troops, causing the entire Yizhou to be empty, don't you know that Ma Chao and Liu Bei have already been looking at Yizhou for a long time. Even if this time can escape a catastrophe, it will inevitably be destroyed in the end.
"Yizhou is the country of heavenly prefectures, with many generals, abundant food and grass, and abundant talents. Coupled with the difficult road and many barriers, it was originally a place for achieving hegemony, but the lord was too conservative and did not want to forge ahead. Zhang Ling also looked helpless. Although he is only a county lieutenant, he still has the dream of making meritorious achievements and sealing his wife and son.
"Don't think about it, just fight the battle tomorrow." Dong He persuaded.
"Youzai, did you send someone to the river valley to investigate first?" "
Although Deng Ai is a good soldier, it can be seen from the fact that he is also a very cautious person after he is stationed in the river valley. You can explore the situation, just observe it from a distance, so as not to startle the grass!" "
Okay, I'll arrange it!" Hanzhong
, outside Nanzheng City, Liu Bei's camp was camped there.
After the defeat of the storming of Chencheng, Liu Bei led his army back to Hanzhong.
This came and went, plus the siege of the city, a total of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost. Although five thousand soldiers and horses is not much, for Liu Bei, it is already broken. Liu Zhang had an army of 30,000 in Hanzhong, so he did not dare to attack Chencheng again. In the end, it is his capital that is too little.
Liu Bei wrote a letter to Liu Zhang, and seeing that Liu Zhang's eyes were also moist, he ordered Fuban to allow Liu Bei to station outside Nanzheng City, and to provide food and grass with Fuban to rest for a few days before returning to Nanzhong.
"It's good that this rain is falling!" Feeling the misty drizzle, looking at this vast land, Zhuge Liang thought, "I wonder if Guanghan also rained?"
"Lord, if Guanghan also rains, Deng Ai will be defeated this time!" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, "I looked at the sky at dawn and night before, and found that the stars were sinking in the west and the Big Dipper was erratic, for us, it is indeed an auspicious omen, but there are still variables, if Guanghan rains down, there are no variables!"
"Mianzhu County Lieutenant Zhang Ji, after receiving my letter, although he was able to detect the attack of Deng Ai's army, he did not have many soldiers and horses, and it was not easy to completely annihilate Deng Ai's army. Liang had traveled in Shuzhong, knowing that there was a river valley outside Mianzhu City, and there was an army of 5,000. It is expected that Deng Ai will definitely join the army here. On weekdays, the river valley is dry, but if there is heavy rain, and then lead to the tributaries of the Fu River, it will definitely flood the river valley and wipe out Deng Ai's entire army
!" "Good, good!" Liu Bei was very excited when he heard this, "If you can get rid of Deng Ai, it is equivalent to breaking Liu Ai's arm!
Zhuge Liang smiled, "Although Zhang Ling does not have this talent, Mianzhu County Ling Dong He will definitely use this scheme. "
Dong He?" "
Dong He was originally a native of Zhijiang, Nan County, Jingzhou, and had some contacts with Liang, although this person was not famous, but he was full of learning. Because Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao was not used at that time, his family moved west to Yizhou. The fund view recommended, and Liu Zhang successively appointed him as the commander of Fucheng and Zitong counties, and now it is the order of Mianzhu County. "
Such a great talent, but for Mianzhu County, it's a pity, it's a pity..." Liu Bei sighed after hearing this.
"The Lord Gong is thirsty for talent, Liang promises, Dong He will return to the Lord sooner or later
!" "If so, there is Lao
Kong Ming!" "
This is Liang's business!"
"
Kong Ming, Yizhou is empty, when can we move?"
Liu Bei frowned, "Didn't Kong Ming say yesterday that it would take a few more days?"
"The so-called heavenly time, location, people, yesterday's weather was sunny, today is rainy, this occupies the sky and time!" Zhuge Liang smiled and shook the feather fan, "The letter I wrote to Zhang Ling was once revealed to Fuban." And tomorrow Zhang Ling and Dong He will inevitably make a move, I have already sent someone to pretend to be a scout in Shuzhong, and tomorrow I will come from Guanghan County to inform the news that Deng Ai was completely annihilated. Fuban will naturally eliminate the suspicion of the lord, and invite the lord to the city to the banquet, we only need to let Chen Zhi kill the ban, and then Zhang Fei will control the soldiers and horses in the city, so that Nanzheng is at his fingertips!"
"At that time, the lord led an army of 10,000 to garrison the city of Nanjun, and Zhang Fei led an army of 10,000 to garrison outside the city, forming a horn situation, coupled with sufficient food and grass, no matter how many Shu troops could not break the city. And at this time, Yun Chang led the army out of Yongchang and rushed north to attack the four counties of Jianning, Qianwei, Yuewei, and Muqiu, and Ma Chao led his army to fight back and attack Zitong, Guanghan, and Shu County, at this time, Liu Zhang will inevitably withdraw the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong
!" "Good!" Liu Bei looked excited, "With Hanzhong and half of Yizhou, I can compete with Sun Quan, Liu Jun, and Cao Cao for the world!"
Although Ma Chao is brave, he has no plan, and when the time comes, he will definitely let the lord sit and lead the entire Yizhou!" "
I have Kong Ming, I really like a fish in water!" Liu Bei said happily.
