Yu Fan left no oral or written evidence, and neither did the Governor. Except for a brief spiritual exchange with the special envoy, all agreements were just consensus and tacit understanding between the common enemy. A few hints left everything unspoken.
No one can take advantage of this situation.
But Ye Qing seemed to see through this and did not let their forces go into the attack at all. He simply asked all the soldiers to carry out civil engineering work. The magicians followed the progress of the advance on the safe second line, ready to provide mana for the soldiers in front of them.
Protection - there are magicians who can't even do this. They are just disobeying orders. As the leader of the alliance with superior strength, they can directly capture and kill them.
Or forcing the governor, Yu Fan leaves the scene to protect his subordinates, which is to draw out all the contradictions and break the secret collusion.
Yu Fan was not prepared to give Ye Qing this chance of his own satisfaction. He made up his mind and calmed down, sitting in Hulao and watching the Taoist priests of Taiping Tao put out the fire. At this time, he seemed to have recovered from Ye Qing's plot - but it still kept coming.
Loss of mana, in extraordinary wars, these can sometimes be fatal.
"The three magician groups in the alliance can establish a relative advantage if they work together... Unfortunately, it is impossible in the end, and the power of Taoism has always been the weakest, haha..."
After laughing, Yu Fan immediately pondered. By now, he no longer had any contempt for Ye Qing.
"rumble--"
The team that had been patrolling along the earth embankment returned. Mr. Kou got off his horse and looked calm, with a hint of anxiety.
Yu Fan thought for a moment and suggested that the magician had installed soundproofing. He met Mr. Kou again and saw that he was wearing a gray robe and a pair of straw sandals. He looked quite neat, but he was much thinner and his hair was slightly gray, which became more and more obvious.
Getting old.
This is all for his own hard work, Yu Fan couldn't help but feel grateful, but smiled: "You are still just a retainer. You don't tell me on earth, but in the lower world, you are already a county magistrate, with a rank salary of 600 dan, and you have to support some officials.
body"
Mr. Kou also felt that he was too hasty. He looked at his lord and saw that he was wearing a war robe and a long sword at his waist. He looked extraordinarily brave. He smiled and said: "My lord is the young master of the Hou family. I am a white-haired man. Although he was promoted by your lord,
, How dare I forget my roots?"
Yu Fan burst out laughing after hearing this. After a moment, he stopped smiling and asked, "What's the matter? What did you find just now?"
When he saw Mr. Kou, he handed over a document and said: "This is what I collected and drawn along the way. My lord, take a look first."
Yu Fan took it, looked at it, and said, "You sit on the bench first, I'll talk after reading it."
"yes"
Mr. Kou bowed and sat on the bench handed to him by the soldiers. He had a deep personality and was silent at the moment. From time to time, he stared at Yu Fan, who was watching attentively.
After a moment, Yu Fan sighed and let go of the document, then asked: "I read this, what do you think?"
Mr. Kou took a breath, cleared his throat, and made a startling statement: "I suspect that Ye Qing wants to dig a Yellow River embankment. This earthen embankment connects to the mountain wall to the south, and to the Yellow River to the north... It's just that the hydrological conditions are now dry.
, the water level of the Yellow River is low, supposedly..."
"You can also block the Yellow River. The river is flowing, but it will overflow when it is blocked. It is feasible to temporarily increase the local water level." Yu Fan's eyes lit up, and his face seemed to be smiling. He walked slowly not far away, thinking slowly.
With
After a long time, he said: "Mrs. Ye Qing is a real person, and the nearly a hundred magicians under her command can barely do it, but Ye Qing will definitely not let his wife take risks... If the three magicians work together, and there are some indigenous people
If you take a break, it will be very easy..."
"But, how can we listen to him on this matter?" Yu Fan said this and smiled bitterly: "I don't think Ye Qing understands what his intention is?"
Seeing that Mr. Kou was speechless, he added: "Actually, to ask, Ye Qing started from scratch and became a man of heaven from a humble scholar. His strategy and literary talents are remarkable, but I fought with him and suffered repeated setbacks.
My virtue and talent are not enough." Yu Fan said this with a sad expression.
After listening to this, Mr. Kou said quickly when he saw this: "My lord, I don't agree with this. Ye Qing is indeed an outstanding person, but under the rule of one person, his prosperity will be great, and his demise will be sudden. Often, there will be no prosperity for a while, but
In less than a few years, the situation was ruined due to some reasons. This often happens in history."
"The master's job is to employ people, which is related to the rise and fall of one's strength. As long as the master pays attention to talents, he will be able to come from behind and win the final victory."
"And I, my ministers, must handle matters respectfully and carefully, in order to assist the lord a little or two."
"You're right." Yu Fan was just venting. After being persuaded, his tone changed and he went up to business: "I'm going to see the governor right now. He has channels to contact Taiping Road, so let him inform the other side to do a good job."
To prepare for flooding, strengthen the main body of Xiaguan City and the magic circle to prevent Ye Qing from taking advantage of the flood to launch a large-scale attack on Guancheng..."
Mr. Kou nodded, bowed to Yu Fan, and added: "My lord, that's true, but at least now Ye Qing still has the title of alliance leader, we must use a suitable excuse to resist the magician's invocation..."
Mr. Kou just elaborated carefully and then said: "Big-eared thief, how dare you dig the embankment of the Yellow River to harm the people? Such bottomless behavior is not what the leader of the alliance did. I am ashamed to be associated with you..."
After "Da Shan" finished speaking, Yu Fan thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "You are right."
Not only could this resist the call, it could legitimately break the alliance, but it could also ruin Ye Qing's reputation.
Mr. Kou added: "This matter needs to be spread secretly for maximum effect."
Yu Fan nodded and said: "Let's do it - I'm going to Cao Ying now. If there are any details, I'll deal with them when I get back."
Mr. Kou watched his lord leave, and then he ordered his soldiers, "Zhang Ren, who went to coordinate the detailed work team, came to see me."
The soldier agreed, got up and went.
Seeing this, Mr. Kou stopped talking and looked at Ye Ying in the distance, his face immediately becoming gloomy.
As a counselor, he didn't know Ye Qing's methods. He was just trying to comfort Yu Fan.
But even so, we can only move on.

"You guys go down and do some work." Hu Zhen stood up with a solemn face.
"Yes" All the generals went down to make arrangements with awe, knowing that this situation cannot be escaped in a large-scale war. Fortunately, our side does not need to defend for too long. To be honest, facing such an offensive, as long as the enemy can maintain it for a month... No
, in just half a month, the whole army in Guancheng will collapse and bomb the camp under the shadow of casualties and terror.
"But you want to win a quick attack in a few days? Liu Bei obviously let the successive victories go to his head and made the wrong idea." Some people have begun to encourage again.
But perhaps after witnessing the failure of the three real people and experiencing the accident just now, Hu Zhen no longer trusted these Taiping Taoist priests in his heart.
Just looking at the strength, the number of only 170 people is submerged in the total number of 100,000, or it is too limited to invest in a five-mile-wide frontal defense, not to mention that they have to be diverted to prepare the magic circle to defend the canyon at the rear.
, Taoist raids on the peaks on both sides are less available.
Taiping Dao's new special envoy Yin Shen Zhenren also revealed his intention - if they accidentally run out of mana and are banned by the Queen Mother's Jade Seal for a quarter of an hour, even Zhenren will not be able to escape being overwhelmed by the army.
This requires saving mana. The meaning is obvious.
Or you can recover after using it up, and the enemy will give you time to recover?
Maybe you can use Taoist talismans, but this is just a matter of resources. No matter how you look at it, it can't match the resource support of the nine states in Kanto. Moreover, the resources of Taiping Dao also have their own plans and cannot be fully invested in this mere battlefield.
The three Yang gods of heaven, earth and man could see this without even coming in person.
"What's going on at Taiping Road?" Hu Zhen's face was gloomy and he took a deep breath: "This fact is really hard to figure out. I just hope that the grand master is not the one who lured the wolf into the house."
Hu Zhen, also known as Wencai, was a native of Liangzhou. He had been Dong Zhuo's general for a long time. He and Yang Ding, who was also born in Liangzhou, were famous heroes in Liangzhou.
Hu Zhen was at odds with Lu Bu, but later Lu Bu died, and he became the general of Hulao Pass. At this time, he was taking steps, but he was thinking: "It's strange to say, how can even the emperor die, this world
It is indeed different, even I feel that my martial arts that had been stagnant have improved again - I heard that this is a common thing."
"There are even some so-called Taoist priests who really performed tricks. This is unprecedented." Thinking of this, Hu Zhen suddenly had a thought: "Even we are like this. What would have happened if Lu Bu had not died back then?"
Where is the general?"
Even if he was at odds with Lu Bu, he knew that Lu Bu's martial arts was far superior to his. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill and put all these matters behind him.
"Don't think about it, I'd better focus on this battle and be a good defensive general."
If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Normally, in order to overcome the current situation of being overwhelmed by siege equipment, the defender must take the initiative to destroy and burn the siege equipment.
But it doesn't work this time, or it might be said that the attempt a few days ago failed. Even real people mixed with three thousand fine cavalry will be trapped in it. Sending a few soldiers and horses there is no different than sending food. Sending a large number of troops will not lead to a decisive battle in the wild.
?
Of course, the loss of several thousand troops was only an insignificant part of the total number of defenders, which was as high as 100,000. It was okay to take risks. What really made Hu Zhen suppress the idea of ​​continuing to attack was that he only needed to defend ten
Heaven is enough, so why bother?
When the ten days are up, gradually retreat and block the enemy along the way. There will be "friends" who will cooperate well and give Liu Bei a hard blow.
"Hey, these coalition forces are scattered in different directions, each with different intentions. I think Liu Bei is the most threatening among them. If we jointly kill this man, are we still afraid of the rest?"
"Maybe we can turn defeat into victory and pursue the enemy while we are victorious. Then the Grand Master will become the emperor and we will be able to gain a great general."
Two emperors were killed, and many people rumored that it was all Dong Zhuo's fault. Even Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen believed it. He had no respect for the Han Emperor, so he thought now.
