Chapter 149: Changing Strategies in Times of Change

 Gonggao City.

Under the hazy night, Tao Ying was lying in the warm tent, looking at the woman close at hand, with curved eyebrows and beautiful eyes, flushed cheeks, and pouty cherry lips. Her charming look made Tao Ying's heart beat fast.

.

"Mrs. Ding, "Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals" said that Cao Cao is short in appearance. According to my visual inspection, you are 1.7 meters tall. Can he kiss your beautiful lips?"

As Tao Ying asked, his sneaky eyes stopped on Ding's lips, lingering and looking at them.

"How come I haven't heard of "Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals"?"

"Meter, what is the size?"

Tao Ying's eyes moved up to look at Ding's willow-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, but he saw that her beautiful eyebrows were lightly frowned, with a confused look on her face.

“So beautiful!”

At this time, Ms. Ding's coquettish and shy appearance is very cute, her shy lying posture, her high buttocks, and her full curves are very sultry.

Looking at Ding's beautiful lips, Tao Ying couldn't help but move closer to her. He had long wanted to kiss Fangze.

"Bang bang bang..."

Tao Ying, whose heart was burning, had just approached Ding, and could even feel the warmth of Ding's lips. Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, causing Tao Ying to stop leaning forward immediately.

"Is there someone knocking on the door?"

Tao Ying was so angry that he wanted to scold him. He hated others disturbing his good things, especially since he had just fallen asleep.

"Lord, urgent military situation!"

Just as Tao Ying was brewing a curse, an urgent announcement came from outside the door.

"Huh? Why does this voice sound so familiar?"

Tao Ying was confused and thought for a long time before he remembered who it was.

"Madam, please wait a moment. Ma Shouxin is here. He must have something important to do. I'll go and see what happens. I'll be back with you soon!"

Tao Ying stood up suddenly, and a gust of cold wind suddenly hit him, trembling all over.

"Hiss..."

Tao Ying looked around hurriedly. Wherever there was a warm tent, there was Mrs. Ding. The house was so dark that he couldn't even see a ghost.

"It turns out that I was dreaming!"

Tao Ying, who felt lost, sat on the bed and was lost in thought.

"It's really strange. It's not like I've never seen a woman before, so why do I think so much about Ding's Qi?"

"Is it because her lips are so beautiful?"

"Or is it because she is Cao Aman's wife, with a different kind of charm and excitement, that's why I can't help myself?"

"That's not right. I have intercepted Hu Yin's family, why didn't I dream about her?"

Tao Ying shivered again, and Tao Ying, who had been wandering in the world, immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly looked around for the fire. In his eagerness, he couldn't find it for a long time.

"Shou Xian, I can't find Huo Zhe at the moment. If you have any military information, just tell me and I will listen."

Ma Zhong had heard the movement in the house and knew that Tao Ying was awake, so he immediately explained his purpose.

"General Pan Zhang has sent urgent military information from Nanpi. Wuhuan Haoyi has rebelled against Su Puyan and wants to join our army. He has made an appointment with General Pan. He will deceive Nanpi City tonight and seize the money and grain from the traitor Zhang Chun!



As soon as Ma Zhong finished speaking, Tao Ying opened the door. A gust of cold wind blew in from the open door, making Tao Ying, who was only wearing a single suit, shiver violently.

However, with the faint light reflected from outside the door, Tao Ying found his jacket and put it on quickly.

"How long have the soldiers who delivered the message been on the road?"

"Have you told Mr. Ziyu the news?"

While Tao Ying was getting dressed, he quickly weighed the impact on the Wuhuan people once Nanpi City was breached.

"I haven't told Mr. Hua yet."

When Ma Zhong got the news, he came to Tao Ying as soon as possible. As for Hua Xin, Tao Ying had to speak before he dared to tell Hua Xin such confidential information.

After all, Hua Xin and Xuan Jiajun are not the same people.

"Okay, immediately convey this news to Mr. Hua, yes, and Mr. Tian. There is no need to hide this from the two of them!"

"No!"

With Tao Ying's explanation, Ma Zhong immediately turned around to look for Hua Xin and Tian Feng.

"Plans can't change quickly!"

Tao Ying had a vague premonition that the plan of flooding the Wuhuan people would come to nothing.

When Tao Ying hurried to a lighted room, Hua Xin, Tian Feng, Ma Zhong, and Tian Yu were all there.

"The flooding plan will fail!"

As soon as Tao Ying walked in, the impatient Tian Feng immediately looked at Tao Ying with a pair of anxious eyes and opened his mouth to express his worries.

"Unless, implement the plan immediately!"

Hua Xin shook his head and sighed, with deep regret in his tone.

"It's winter now, the dry season. The newly built dam doesn't store much water, so I'm afraid it won't be of any use!"

Tao Ying had been to Zhangshui and knew its flow very well. Hua Xin objected to an immediate water attack, and Tao Ying also held the same attitude.

"Water attack is no longer feasible!"

Ma Zhong and Tian Yu both had a look of unwillingness and regret in their eyes.

"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. This is called losing something in the east and gaining something in the future. After all, we have gained nothing, and there is nothing to regret!"

Seeing that the matter had come to this, and few people had no better way to deal with it, Tao Ying spoke out to comfort everyone.

"If Nanpi City is captured and the rebels lose their food and grass, they will definitely flee north. There is no need to build dams to store water. When the water level is not high, immediately open the dams to drain water to avoid disasters downstream..."

"Report!"

Before Tao Ying finished speaking, a hurried bugle sound suddenly came from outside the door, and a messenger came in a hurry.

"My lord, the water level in Zhangshui has dropped and the water is knee deep. General Yan Liang is worried that the Wuhuan cavalry will take the opportunity to kill Zhangshui. My lord, how can I defend myself?"

After the messenger finished speaking, Tian Feng, Hua Xin and others were all shocked. They had not calculated that the Wuhuan people could take the opportunity to cross the river. This would be a fatal matter.

In particular, the Wuhuan people are all cavalry.

"What is the current situation of the Wuhuan people on the other side?"

The look on Tao Ying's face was uncertain. The only way to prevent the Wuhuan cavalry from crossing Zhangshui was to immediately open the embankment.

"The Wuhuan people on the other side seem to have not noticed the drop in the Zhangshui water level, and have already set up camp to rest."

Tao Ying secretly called him lucky.

"Are our troops still building rafts and building bridges?"

The messenger glanced at Tao Ying's expression worriedly, shook his head, and his tone was slightly lower.

"Zhao Yun was worried about alerting the Wuhuan people on the other side, so he ordered General Yan Liang to stop all actions."

"Well, as expected of Zhao Zilong, he is courageous and knowledgeable!"

Yan Liang, who is full of muscles, is a loyal person who does not know how to adapt. Tao Ying was secretly glad that he left Zhao Yun by the Zhangshui River.

"Immediately report to General Yan Liang, stop all actions, extinguish all torches on the south bank, and do not disturb the Wuhuan rebels."

The messenger left in a hurry, and Tao Ying was about to send someone to notify the upper reaches to open the dam to release the flood, when there was another rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Report..."

Seeing that the person who came was also a messenger, Tao Ying was worried about the ups and downs, and his heart suddenly jumped again.

"My Lord, General Ji Ling and Military Advisor Chen Deng have led an army of 10,000 people to the outside of Gonggao City!"

Tao Ying was startled for a moment, then became ecstatic.

"Hahaha, Yuanlong came at just the right time, God is really helping me!"

After a sudden turn of events, Tian Feng and Hua Xin looked at each other with joy on their faces.

"General Tao, please postpone digging the embankment and take advantage of the falling water level to attack the Wuhuan rebel camp at night!"

Tian Feng, whose face was a little red, reminded Tao Ying while gearing up.

"With the equipment and combat power of the Xuanjia Army, we will definitely achieve success this time!"

Hua Xin was also in high spirits. He had a hunch that after this battle, not only would the Wuhuan rebels be completely driven out of Jizhou, but Tao Ying would also be famous among the Han Dynasty.

"What you two gentlemen said is exactly what I want!"

No need for Tian Feng, Hua Xin reminded Tao Ying to do the same.

Although the strength of the Xuanjia Army was still inferior to that of the Wuhuan rebels, after the battle of Gonggao and Hao Yiluo's rebellion, the number of Wuhuan people on the north bank of Zhangshui was only about 35,000.

In addition, it was a sneak attack. Although the well-equipped Xuanjia Army infantry could not defeat ten as one, it was still no problem to defeat two or three as one. The destruction of the Wuhuan rebels was by no means a dream.

"Immediately send an order to Ji Ling, and the army will go straight to Zhangshui!"
