really.

Above the city gate, Sun Jian and Cao Cao looked at the soldiers who came to report, with a serious expression.

"Report to the lord, General Cao. Zhang Xiu is dispatching troops and generals, as if he is going to pull out his camp and go to the water." The soldier knelt on one knee and reported the report anxiously.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao's expression changed drastically. Although they had some guesses in their hearts, when things really happened, they were still dizzy.

"Zhang Xiu. I really want to flood Wancheng, and let hundreds of thousands of people be buried in the water. It's hateful." Cao Cao was silent for a moment, his face turned red, and he cursed excitedly.

"Oh!" Sun Jian sighed, and in turn relieved and said to Cao Cao excitedly: "It's over, Meng De doesn't have to be angry, we just want to defend the city. Even if Zhang Xiu really gets water, as long as we deal with it properly, we can still defend it."

"Take it again."

Sun Jian first said to the soldier, then turned to the commander and said, "Distribute this news throughout the city. Let the people, officials, and soldiers know it. Zhang Xiu is the most vicious person in the world."

"promise."

The commander and the soldiers agreed and sent the command. Soon after, there was a hustle and bustle in the city, and soldiers, the people, and officials cursed at Zhang Xiu, crying endlessly and were extremely frightened.

No one would be willing to be flooded. If Zhang Xiu really did this, his reputation in Nanyang County would be gone, and even said that he would have lost his reputation in the whole world.

In the past, Zhang Xiu had a good reputation. He fought against all directions without any attacks. If he was in the country, he would not offend the people, and he would have a good reputation.

In Zhang Xiu's camp.

The army was setting up camps and opening camps in turn, heading to the northwest Jingshui. Fan Chou started first, Hu Zhen followed, and the other generals set up camps in turn, and his central army was cut off.

On the general's stage, Zhang Xiu, Li Ru and Dian Wei stood side by side, watching the army set out one after another.

Li Ru glanced at Zhang Xiu. Although he felt that Zhang Xiu's approach was a bit redundant, he also respected Zhang Xiu's decision.

"Let's go!!!"

After the army was all driven out, the soldiers of the central army had already loaded up their food and fodder and brought their baggage. Zhang Xiu, Li Ru and Dian Wei walked down the general's platform, turned over the horse, and led the army to the Qingshui River to station.

Only a clearing space with a few traces left at the scene.

Before dark, Zhang Xiu led the central army to the new camp. Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others who came here first had already established the camp.

After Zhang Xiu led the middle army soldiers into the camp, he just needed to set up a tent.

That night, Zhang Xiu just ordered the generals of various departments to strengthen their vigilance. Although it should be impossible for this place to be dug, Sun Jian's threat is still real. If he is more stable, he will not capsize in the gutter.

At this moment, we have arrived at the edge of the Qingshui River. The water level of the Qingshui River next to us has soared. You only need to dig a passage to Wancheng, block the Qingshui River, and a few more rain can flood the entire Nanyang County.

And now it is midsummer, and the most unabridged thing is rain.

Just dig, winning is easy.

The next morning, Zhang Xiu got up early, had a hearty breakfast full of protein, and after eating a lush breakfast, Zhang Xiu wiped his mouth with a veil, looked up at Dian Wei at the door of the big tent and said, "Summon Fan Chou."

"No." Dian Wei responded and held his sword down. Not long after, Fan Chou, wearing armor, rode a war horse and led dozens of light cavalry to the entrance of the tent, turned over and dismounted into the tent of the central army, bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"Go and look for Mr. Li Ru, he will tell you how to do it." Zhang Xiu said lightly.

"promise."

Fan Chou was confused, but there was nothing to do. He just followed his promise and turned around and left.

"Although my plan is not as good as the water attack and killing, it is also extraordinary." After Fan Chou left, Zhang Xiu stood up and came outside the tent, facing the south, and smiled slightly.

.........

“Driving…Driving…Driving.”

A cavalry of more than a thousand people emerged from the southern camp gate of Zhang Xiu's army, and then turned into four parts and headed towards Wancheng.

Unlike the other princes, Dong Zhuo's army was not short of war horses. Although Hua Xiong was the cavalry leader and generals, there were also a number of cavalry under the command of the other generals.

This group of cavalry was the men under Fan Chou. They all prepared bows and brought Zhang Xiu's traditional skills.

"Arrow letter."

Soon after, the four cavalrymen headed south to Wancheng, outside the four gates, east, south, west and north.

Sun Jian's army did not have regular cavalry, and this group of Fan Chou cavalry was very wanton.

The north of Wancheng City. After hearing the soldiers' reports, Cao Cao hurried to the city wall to observe the situation.

"What do they want to do?" Sun Jian and Cao Cao looked at the cavalry under the city in confusion.

The cavalry began to scatter on a large scale, approaching the city wall, but within the effective range of bows and arrows. Then these cavalry bent their bows and shot arrows one after another.

At this distance, there was no power. Only 70% or 80% of the arrows could fly to the top of the city, and the remaining 20% ​​or 30% were all landed under the city.

"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!"

Facing the flying arrows, Sun Jian reached out and grabbed one of them, and saw the letter tied to the arrows.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's expression changed and ordered loudly: "Come here, collect all these arrows, and no one is allowed to check them privately."

This was Zhang Xiu's old routine. At that time, the coalition of princes collapsed because of this.

Sun Jian also knew about this and ordered loudly. But how many people picked up these arrow letters and how many people handed over to hide them, that was not Sun Jian, and Cao Cao could control it.

Forget about the Jiangdong soldiers, most of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city are recruited by Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and some are Cao Cao's Yanzhou soldiers.

At the same time, the cavalry under the city shouted loudly at the city with a Liangzhou accent: "Listen to the people in the city."

"Dong Gong looked at the government affairs, and his official appointed as the prime minister, and his rank was the Supreme Duke. Duke Zhang appointed as the General of the Cavalry, opened the palace, and was appointed as the official of the cavalry. He was recruited to fight against the thieves. This matter had nothing to do with the people of Nanyang, and my general did not want to kill and hurt the people. Yuan Shu raised an army in Nanyang, which caused the disaster of today's military revolution. Now Yuan Shu has been killed by our cavalry. Sun Jian and Cao Cao are even more remnants of the people, and they are used to cause war. However, my general has not been able to attack the city for a long time. He can only dig the water and pour back into Nanyang County."

"All the officials and people in the city listen. My general gives you ten days. Ten days. You will also help Sun Jian and Cao Cao guard the city. My general will dig the Wei River. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang County will be buried in the belly of fish."

The voices of the Liangzhou cavalry under the city were neat and uniform, and they were spoken continuously, just like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, surging endlessly.

Sun Jian, Cao Cao's face changed drastically, his fists clenched, and his breathing became rapid, but he was suffering from lack of cavalry and was really unable to do so, so he went out of the city to kill these people and sealed the ban.

And even if there are cavalrymen who can leave the city, these Liangzhou soldiers can still ride their horses and escape.

It's over. It's over.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled bitterly. What a Zhang Xiu, what a plan to get rid of the firewood from the cauldron.

The so-called solidity of mountains and rivers and the profit of cities is not as stable as the people's hearts.

War requires the support of the people and the gentry.

Although they raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo and occupied a reputation as a righteous person. However, Dong Zhuo was indeed an official and a prime minister, and he was a generalist in the government affairs.

Zhang Xiu, General of the Cavalry, opened the palace and had a holiday.

Because Zhang Xiu was in charge of the army and strictly enforced military discipline. Although Dong Zhuo harmed the ministers and ministers of Luoyang, he had very little harm to ordinary people.

Dong Zhuo's evil deeds are not as serious as in history.

What's more, Dong Zhuo's actions have to do with the people of Nanyang County?

Why should they tied themselves to the chariots of the princes and fight with Dong Zhuo?

Especially Sun Jian, Cao Cao was not Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was the direct descendant of the Yuan clan of the fourth generation and the three dukes. Only then did he gain the support of many gentry and officials in Nanyang County, and even called the wind and rain.

But now Yuan Shu is dead. Cao Cao's basic territory is in Yanzhou and the Central Plains area of ​​Yuzhou, where many people support Cao Cao, Xiahou and Cao clan members.

Sun Jian’s basic foundation is in Jiangdong, and the Sun family is a prominent family in Wu County, Jiangdong.

They have no foundation in Nanyang.

The reason why they were able to defend Wancheng was because of Yuan Shu's remaining power. Some loyal ministers such as Liu Chang and others supported the two.

Just like the Battle of Jinyang in history. Before the three families divided Jin, Zhibo ran rampant in Jinyang and besieged the Zhao family in Jinyang.

Jinyang City is the basic foundation of the Zhao family, with loyal ministers and people who have been kind to the Zhao family.

Later, Zhibo dug out the Fen River, causing the flood to flow back into Jinyang City. The officials and civilians in the city still protected the Zhao family and held on for more than a year.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian had no foundation in Nanyang County. Why did they let the people of Wancheng and Nanyang drown with them?

Sun Jian and Cao Cao were all sensible people. They immediately knew whether they believed the arrow or not. These words were shouted out.

They may not be able to defend Wancheng anymore.

This is a plan to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot.

But this is not something that anyone can use. Zhang Xiu is known as the "Shenwei General", and has won consecutive battles and never lost, and has been rampant in the world.

The official appointed General of the Cavalry, Kaifu, and the Hou of the Han Dynasty, and was appointed as the Sangong. He now commanded the 80,000 horse and infantry troops southward and stationed in the Jingshui River.

The army was pressing against the edge, like a huge rock pressing the eggs, and the hearts of the people in the city were unstable. Now Zhang Xiu was tying his troops in the clean water, and he was trying to flood Wancheng.

Unless the two of them immediately send troops to fight to the death with Zhang Xiu.

But most of their troops were new, not to mention that Zhang Xiu was on the other side. How could they go out of the city and fight to the death?

In short, when the idle people come, Sun Jian can deal with it. For example, if Lu Bu stationed his troops in the Pure Water, he would dig the Pure Water with the power.

Sun Jian dared to lead his army of death and go out of the city to fight with Lu Bu. Even if he could not defeat Lu Bu, he would destroy Lu Bu and dig up the clean water.

But Zhang Xiu...

"Sun Tzu said that if we were to attack the enemy, Zhang Xiu could directly dig out the clean water and pour back into Wancheng. Now he has used such a strategy. Although our city is in and there are many soldiers, it collapses faster."

Sun Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head at Cao Cao.

"Being an enemy of Zhang Xiu, you can fight with him unless you have 100,000 elite soldiers. Otherwise..." Cao Cao also smiled bitterly and nodded.
