Chapter eight hundred and ninetieth rainstorm digs the dam
Lejin has a few tricks. When Gaolan was about to catch up with them, he took advantage of his familiar geographical location to throw Gaolan far away.
The news that Hong County was taken down by Jia Xu spread as Le Jin returned to Xiangcheng.
Le Jin came to Cao Cao with great shame and apologized. He blamed himself. If he could arrive in Hong County faster, it would be very difficult for Liu Jun to break through the defense line.
I thought Cao Cao would be disappointed in Le Jin's result this time, or punish Le Jin, but Cao Cao didn't seem to care at all.
"It's gone, it's gone. How could I care about the losses of a city and a land?" Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, I really didn't care at all.
Everyone present was puzzled. Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang even came out and asked: "Father, Hong County is the first city on our army's defense line. Now that it has been taken down by Jia Wenhe, our army's morale will definitely be affected, and even affects the whole body. Why is my father so relaxed?"
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang with satisfaction, very happy that his son had such an opinion. However, Cao Ang was still a little inexperienced and did not see through the whole situation.
"Jia Xu's 30,000 troops came over. What's the benefit of Gu fighting with him? Why would he give up the small Hong County to them?" Cao Cao said generously.
Cao Ang was even more puzzled. At this time, Guo Jia came out and said, "Everyone, the eldest son, the lord's plan is high. Liu Jun took Hong County so easily, so they would think that our army was weak and could be bullied. Jia Wenhe might not be contemptuous of our army, but it is difficult to guarantee that others would not do this. If they underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, then we can use the tricks and kill Liu Jun. Hong County is the first stop of the defense line, and there is nothing else except for defense. If you lose, you will lose, and the impact on our army is not that great. That is why the lord is like this."
Cao Cao raised a smile on his lips and said softly: "Those who know the orphans are filial piety!"
"So that's it." Everyone admired Cao Cao in their hearts. They were still calculating the gains and losses in front of them. Cao Cao was already calculating the next plan, and even the other party's inner changes had been calculated.
Cao Ang felt that he had learned something again.
"Since that's the case, Fengxiao, see how we are going to plot against Liu Jun?" Cao Cao asked.
Guo Jia pondered for a while and said, "In the opinion of the people, we should not use the strategy of luring the enemy into the deep, but use strengthening the defense and trying to strengthen the defense, so that the opponent can mistakenly think that we don't want to fight with him, so they want to drag them. We are fighting locally, and even if Jia Wenhe is not in a hurry, their subordinates will be anxious. Let's take action from this point!"
Cao Cao was silent for a while, and finally nodded, as if he had agreed to Guo Jia's plan.
Why did Guo Jia take such a countermeasure? The first thing is that even if Cao Cao adopts the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, Jia Xu's IQ must have noticed it. In this way, why would Cao Cao do such useless work? It would be better to strengthen the city defense and lure Jia Xu and the others to unable to withstand their inner impulses. Isn't it better to design it again?
Cao Ang was constantly learning the strategies of Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others, and he thought that he still needed to learn a lot.
On the other hand, Jia Xu didn't seem to have any movement, everything was just like before.
But this is on the surface. In secret, Jia Xu ordered some soldiers to quietly strengthen the city defense for Hong County at night, and various strategic materials were carried out in an orderly manner.
Jia Xu had only one purpose, to build Hong County into a strategic base that can withstand Cao Cao's counterattack and become a strategic base for attacking Yuzhou.
As for Gao Lan, Jia Xu asked him to train soldiers directly so that he would not have any idle thoughts. Gao Lan had something to do, but he really had no other ideas.
Jia Xu found a very comfortable house and enjoyed life leisurely.
A day or two later, Jia Xu still did not move any action, which made Cao Cao and others confused. Guo Jia and Cao Cao both had a premonition that everything would turn back, and Jia Xu must have had a conspiracy, but neither Cao Cao nor Guo Jia thought of what Jia Xu's plan was.
On this day, Cao Cao came to inspect the city wall, and finally stood beside the city wall and looked at the beautiful scenery of the earth.
Cao Ang came to Cao Cao with a shawl and put it on him, saying, "Father, the weather is getting colder. The windy wall of the city is strong, so you should not stay too long."
Cao Cao felt Cao Ang’s filial piety and felt warm in his heart. His son was so filial that no matter who was a father, he hoped to see it.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "You are not that weak in your father. The weather is starting to get colder, but to Youyou, this is nothing?"
Cao Ang thought he had done something wrong, but Cao Cao hugged the shawl a little tightly, and Cao Ang knew that his father was very satisfied with his filial piety.
"Zi Xiu, aren't you very beautiful when you look at the beautiful country?" Cao Cao said, pointing to the earth in front of him.
"Yes, the beauty of mountains and rivers is really the best in the world." Cao Ang sighed.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "The country is so beautiful, and the bones are thousands of miles away. I am a pleasing person. In this chaotic world, there are so many white bones under the beautiful country. How many heroes and heroes have buried their bones. For the elders, the last time is the ones of you young people."
"Father, why do you say such unlucky words?" Cao Ang said in panic.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Don't care. I sat on the same table with Bo Xuan when I was a father. I once said that a hundred years later, it would be enough to write the Han Dynasty's expedition to Western Cao on the tombstone. Unfortunately, this chaotic era made the hope of being a father unable to be realized."
Cao Ang knew about this, Cao Cao had said it before him, so he smiled and said, "My father is now higher than the general of the Western Expedition. He is the prime minister who is below one person and above ten thousand people. Who doesn't know about it? In the final analysis, it's fate that makes people mess with people. Didn't Uncle Liu want to be a rich man back then?"
Cao Ang turned the topic away so that Cao Cao would lose more and more and directly turned the last topic to Liu Yu. It was really appropriate for Cao Ang to call Liu Yu "Uncle". Liu Yu and Cao Cao were of the same generation. In terms of generations, Cao Ang really wanted to call Liu Yu the uncle.
"Haha, rich man! Bo Xuan couldn't help but couldn't even guarantee his own life. Of course, he wanted to be a safe and stable rich man. Now he is the Emperor Shenwu who is so powerful. If you ask him to tell me what he wants to do, he will definitely not be a rich man. That kid is such a virtue!" When Cao Cao talked about Liu Yu, he was a little happy. After all, if he and Liu Yu were not due to the troubled times, he would probably be good friends now.
But then again, without this chaotic world, Liu Yu might have been killed by the vicious Spirit Emperor early.
Cao Cao and his son talked and laughed on the city wall, which made the soldiers around the city wall feel the deep feelings between them. It is rare and valuable for those with high power in the world to have family affection.
A dark cloud floated to the south of the city. Cao Ang was the first to see it and said, "Father, the weather is getting so fast, it seems that it is going to snow."
Cao Cao was more experienced than Cao Ang. He felt a wet breath in the wind blowing, so he said, "It's not that fast, it's probably going to rain. Let's go back first."
Cao Ang nodded. It would be better to go back to the house at this time, otherwise it would be really bad if you were wet.
As soon as Cao Cao and his friends returned to their house, it started to rain heavily outside.
Cao Cao sighed that the world has changed so much.
I thought the rain would end soon, but in the end I found that it had been falling for a whole few days. At this time, Cao Cao felt something was wrong. Such heavy rain was definitely not good news for Cao Cao. And his fear of being in his heart was getting heavier and heavier.
Gao Lan from Hong County is now impressed by Jia Xu. How did this person's brain grow? He can predict such a big rain, which is like a god.
Jia Xu was a master, drinking tea in his room, looking leisurely at the map, and smiling constantly at the unstoppable heavy rain.
"It's true that I didn't expect! Cao Cao, I just depend on whether you are in a good mood to plot against Your Majesty!" Jia Xu kept sneering in his heart.
After Zhou Cang and his team set out from the camp, they began a arduous march. Along the way, they encountered various dangers. There were a large number of birds and beasts, as well as various harmful plants in the forest. The army paid the price of dozens of people to get out of the mountains. In the mountains, Zhou Cang and his team also met some mountain people who hunted and chopped wood for a living. In order to cover up the whereabouts of their people, Zhou Cang had to ruthlessly kill all the mountain people who saw them. Zhou Cang was not a cruel person. Zhou Cang felt guilty when he killed these innocent mountain people, but for Jia Xu's plan and Liu Yu's great cause, Zhou Cang felt that if he didn't be this evil person, the plan might fail. All the sins were borne by Zhou Cang himself. This was what Zhou Cang thought in his heart.
Fortunately, there was a map given by Jia Xu, otherwise Zhou Cang would have to keep wandering around the mountain and ended up getting lost.
After leaving the mountain, Zhou Cang and the others went forward secretly. This place is very long from Shouchun, and they may encounter Cao Cao's patrol troops. Zhou Cang adopted the strategy of rushing at night and hiding and resting during the day to act. But not long after, Zhou Cang changed this strategy. Because it was raining heavily in Yuzhou, not to mention the patrol troops of Cao Cao, even the people hid in their homes and did not come out. This gave Zhou Cang the best opportunity. They braved the heavy rain and kept rushing on the ground, even if they were resting. There was a great chance that they would encounter ** in the rain, so Zhou Cang gave up this idea.
The soldiers of Liu Jun were not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction, but were very supportive of Zhou Cang's decision. The soldiers had worked very hard all the way. They had almost never eaten a decent meal. Even the dry food turned into mud due to heavy rain. But they still continued to eat, because if they didn't eat, they would not have the energy to continue rushing, and if they didn't eat, they could not fight against ** who might suddenly appear. They were Liu Jun's elite, so what was this little suffering?
The main general Zhou Cang shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, without any special intention. The soldiers naturally expressed their consent to the main general in their hearts. They thought that Zhou Cang was lucky enough to be the main general, but now it seems that he still has the temperament of being a general.
Liu Jun rushed all the way, and after several days of rushing wildly in the heavy rain, he finally arrived at the location of the dam marked on the map.
"I finally arrived here." Zhou Cang felt a little relaxed when he saw the dam in the distance.
The soldiers were extremely excited. After going through a lot of hardships and sacrificed many comrades, they finally arrived at this destination.
Zhou Cang began to observe the situation of the dam. Due to the heavy rain, the river water surged. If it weren't for a dam blocking it, it might have been a flood. Zhou Cang even found that there were many **s above the dam strengthening the dam to prevent the dam from collapsing to form floods.
After counting the number of people in the dam silently, Zhou Cang had a clear idea.
Zhou Cang immediately ordered all the soldiers to get time to rest and eat more dry food to restore their strength. They will have a fierce battle later.
The soldiers all knew that the most important thing for them now was to recover their physical strength. No one was willing to waste time. Even if it was still raining, they would sit on the ground.
Half an hour later, Zhou Cang felt that the soldiers had recovered a lot of their physical strength, and this was the best time to kill the dam.
Zhou Cang led his soldiers toward the dam slowly. Since it was still raining, his vision was blurry, and the ** troops on the dam did not realize that there was a danger approaching. It was close to Shouchun, and no one would have thought that an enemy would appear, especially in this kind of continuous rainstorm.
Zhou Cang and others took advantage of this.
"All people! Stop!" When ** found something was wrong, Zhou Cang and the others had already appeared not far away with them with weapons.
"Brothers, kill them!" Zhou Cang pulled out his steel knife and rushed to the front.
A killing began. The soldiers on the dam were killed by Zhou Cang and the others. Because these soldiers came to strengthen the dam and did not carry many weapons, they did not expect an enemy to appear. Zhou Cang and the others also made a lot of sacrifices. Under the rush to jump over the wall, many Liu Jun soldiers were killed by the soldiers in the same way.
After Zhou Cang killed the last ** soldier, he said to the remaining Liu Jun soldiers: "Dig the dam immediately!"
Liu Jun's soldiers did not care about their injured companions, and immediately took the tools that had been strengthening the dam just now and began to destroy the dam.
