When Sun Jian's soldiers piled firewood into the tunnel and ignited it, Dian Wei had already followed the tunnel and returned to the military camp.

Zhang Xiu held the hilt of the sword at his waist and looked at the hole. When he saw Dian Wei coming out, he saw Dian Wei's chest with several arrows in his face. His face tightened and he quickly said to his personal soldiers around him: "Go and find a doctor."

"Yes." The personal soldiers responded and trotted down. Dian Wei didn't care about the arrows on his chest. He shook his head and looked to the West, only to see a flash of fire.

"General. Is General Wang Zhen's camp attacked?" Dian Wei asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xiu nodded, then his face darkened, and he said, "Wang Zhen's defense has been relaxed, which has caused many soldiers to be killed and injured by the Jiangdong soldiers and ignited many tents. This has caused chaos in the entire camp."

Dian Wei nodded. Among the generals of Liangzhou, there were a variety of good and bad luck in the combat power of the soldiers under his command, which was difficult to count.

Not long after, the personal soldiers came to the scene with a doctor who accompanied the army and immediately treated Dian Wei's wounds. Because of the protection of iron armor, although the arrow shot through the iron sheets and leather, it only hurt a little fur.

The doctor cleaned Dian Wei's wounds, and then bandaged them. Dian Wei was so brave and cruel, and it was common to be injured. This little injury is nothing.

Not long after, Zhang Xiu heard a commotion. When he looked up, he saw General Wang Zhen walking towards him in a mess. After he arrived in front of him, Wang Zhen immediately bowed to the ground and apologized: "Han Shouhou, the last general is incompetent, so I will ask Han Shouhou to punish him."

Zhang Xiu changed his face, smiled slightly, helped Wang Zhen up, and comforted him: "We didn't expect Sun Jian to dig the tunnel. The general was caught off guard and suffered a small loss. Don't worry, go back and raise and appease the soldiers."

"Thank you, Han Shouhou." Wang Zhen glanced at Zhang Xiu gratefully, then turned over and left.

Zhang Xiu's expression also faded a lot.

He now only has the right to lead the army, but no right to dispose of it. If he waits for him to take power, people like Wang Zhen need to be demolished and removed.

Add to that, Xu Shu, Meng Da, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Zhang Liao and others.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu issued another order, ordering the soldiers of various battalions to strengthen their vigilance and patrol. Then he led Dian Wei and returned to the tent to rest.

This time, Li Rutti's action plan to dig the tunnel into the city was about to succeed, but it was a pity that something went wrong.

But the battlefield changes rapidly.

Although it is said that people will be prosperous, no matter how strong a wise man is, he will have only 90% chance of winning, and the remaining 10% is luck.

Since luck is not on his side, there is nothing we can do about it.

He attacked Wancheng for five consecutive days and failed to dig the tunnels. Zhang Xiu began to repair them according to the original plan.

But after three days of repair, I had to continue repairing.

On this day, dark clouds in the sky cover the sun, thunder and lightning flash from time to time, roaring and thunder rolling, as if a dragon surrounds the sky.

"Wow!!" The heavy rain fell, and the tents were pounding, flowing down the tent, gathering into a stream of water, leading along the canal.

A strong camp will naturally have a water diversion channel. Judging from the current rainfall, it will not affect the military camp.

Zhang Xiu was on the right side of the big tent door, looking up at the rain, thinking about something.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu saw several followers holding a large umbrella, covering Li Ru, who was still wearing a straw raincoat to shelter from the rain.

Zhang Xiu took a few steps back and let Li Ru in. After entering the tent, Li Ru immediately took off his straw raincoat and handed it to his entourage. Then he bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Han Shouhou."

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" Zhang Xiu asked with a smile. Then, he reached out and asked Li Ru to sit down. He also came to the coach's throne and sat down on the big golden sword.

Li Ru nodded, with a rare look of joy on his face. He said, "Han Shouhou. I ordered people to check the purified water. With the continuous heavy rains, the purified water level rose sharply. It is better for us to cut off the purified water and lure the water into Wancheng. Sun Jian and Cao Cao became fish and shrimp bait in the water."

Li Ru is a wise man, and he came up with the action plan to explore the authentic ones. Although the result was not successful, he was also unlucky.

After that, Li Ru was also thinking about countermeasures.

When fighting, it is not just a fight. You also need to understand the yin and yang and understand the solar terms. Now it is midsummer and there is a lot of rain.

Seeing that the heavy rainstorm was pouring during this period, Li Ru came up with this plan.

But he saw that Zhang Xiu's expression was very dull, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He then smiled and said, "It turns out that Han Shouhou had already planned, but I said too much."

"No. As the saying goes, a wise man will make mistakes. How could he make a mistake in making me think carefully and give me advice? " Zhang Xiu shook his head and said to Li Ru very seriously.

Li Ru smiled slightly when he heard this. Although he was not a person with soft ears, he had to admit that getting along with Zhang Xiu was like drinking mellow wine, often drunk and very comfortable.

Li Ru came here to offer advice. Since Zhang Xiu was ready, Li Ru bowed slightly to Zhang Xiu and left.

After Li Ru left, he had already thought of this plan but did not take action. Zhang Xiu, who had no words, looked up at Dian Wei who was silent in the corner and asked, "Brother. If I dig the water, it would be more than just Wancheng. Hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang would probably become bait for fish and shrimp in the water. What should I do?"

Dian Wei showed a little confusion when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

According to Dian Wei's personality, he could not do such a thing. That night he entered Wancheng and saw the young couple. Fan Chou drew his sword and planned to kill him, but Dian Wei let the young couple go.

He has this kind of personality. Although he is brave and fierce, he kills people without blinking, he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

And he also knew that this was not the case for generals. It was precisely because of "one general succeeded and ten thousand bones were undone", and Ci did not take charge of the troops. Now Zhang Xiu is commanding 80,000 horse and infantry here, and he has not been able to conquer the city for several days. If he does not use special means, he will not be able to resolve this war.

It seems that Zhang Xiu should take a ruthless move?

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I know that Ci is not in charge of the army, and one general will achieve success and thousands of bones are undone. I am also a cruel person, not the kindness of a woman. If I can kill millions of people and pacify the world, I will also kill them. But the affairs of the world cannot be accomplished by killing people. If I dig the pure water, the flood will flow back into Wancheng, causing hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang County to be killed and injured and displaced. In the future, hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang County will inevitably hate me, which is not conducive to future governance."

Dian Wei shook his body when he heard this, and his eyes showed a complex look. His general is really a great achievement.

What the general is concerned about is not killing, but the hearts of the people.

The general is not a military general, but a great man who considers the overall situation.

Dian Wei didn't dare to say much before, and now he is even silent.

"We need to have the best of both worlds, which can not only successfully conquer Wancheng, but also win the hearts of the people." Zhang Xiu once again came to the door of the big tent and watched the thunderstorm in the sky.

After a while, Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and he smiled with his palms.

“Have it.”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu returned to the coach's throne and sat down, looked up at Dian Wei and said, "Brother, I'll send an order. Please ask Li Ru and all the civil servants in the army."

"No." Dian Wei put down his distracting thoughts, responded to the promise, turned around and walked out of the tent, and ordered.

............

Wancheng.

Although the thunderstorm shook the sky, there were still sentries in the city wearing straw raincoats and straw hats. The generals would come out to patrol from time to time.

However, Sun Jian no longer stayed in the north of the city, but returned to the county magistrate's mansion in the city to rest.

County magistrate's office, in the study.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao were kneeling, and there was a chessboard in front of them. Cao Cao was holding black and Sun Jian was holding white. It was a great fight to watch the chessboard situation.

Both of them didn't say a word and their faces were very serious.

In the end, no victory or defeat was decided, Sun Jian surrendered. He stood up and went to the door, watched the sky, and sighed: "What a heavy rain. Meng De. I have sent someone to inquire. This kind of rain is rare in Wancheng for decades. If I were Zhang Xiu, I would dig the Wei River and pour it into the city. By then, even if we have 100,000 soldiers, it would be useless."

"Oh." Cao Cao sighed and nodded depressedly. Could it be that the destiny of the great man? After this rain, help Zhang Xiu?

"No matter what, we must try our best to defend Wancheng. If Wancheng falls into Zhang Xiu's hands, if we want to attack Henan County, we can only break Wancheng. And Wancheng is strong, and once Zhang Xiu is given, it will be rare to return."

"Meng De. You personally give an order. Order the generals, soldiers, and the people in the city are ready for waterproofing. Especially the granary, you must not lose any mistakes. When the weather clears up, immediately increase the granary to avoid being flooded."

Sun Jian exhaled, with a little excitement on his face, and said to Cao Cao.

"No." Cao Cao responded to the promise and went down immediately.

Neither of them is waiting for death. Although the situation is dangerous and even as dangerous as it is, they still need to give it a try.

The rain fell for another three days, and the rainfall had reached an incredible level. Although the place where Wancheng City is located is very high, once the clean water is dug, it will inevitably become a water city.

After the weather cleared, Sun Jian and Cao Cao personally went on battle and directed their soldiers to raise the granary to prevent the grain from being flooded.

The same is true for the military camp. The soldiers worked hard together, first setting up a wooden platform below, and then placing a tent on the platform to avoid being washed away by water.

However, the people in the city suffered unrestrained disasters and suffered military revolutions. But now the situation is like this, they have no choice. After receiving the notice, they also made corresponding preparations to welcome the flood in Wancheng.

This is something that has never been seen in Wancheng's history. There was never such a large amount of water before, and no bastard could dig the Wei River and bury all the people in Wancheng.

But things often go unexpectedly, especially on the battlefield, changing rapidly.

Li Ru was cruel and had no foresight, so even if the water flooded hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang, it didn't matter.

Zhang Xiu has a vision and is unwilling to use such a vicious plan. Since he has the beauty of both worlds, the city will flood, so he will naturally be humble.

While Cao Cao and Sun Jian stepped up their response to the most likely flooding incident in the city, they also sent people to inquire about Zhang Xiu's situation.
