Han counter current

A hero in troubled times, apart from his shocking talents, his mentality has nothing to do with the world. On this point, Cao Cao surpassed most of his opponents.

At the east gate of Ye City, in Gao Zhong's tent, he was sitting opposite Lu Xun. In this battle of siege, Chen Feng actually pinned his hopes on Gao Zhong.

Mufu has been transferred away for some reason, and now it is estimated that he will soon arrive in Chang'an, and among all the people staying in Jizhou, Lu Xun's resourcefulness is the best.

Chen Feng deliberately sent Lu Xun to Gao Zhong's side, just to let these two young people think of a good way to break through Yecheng. It can be said that everyone in the army is now serving them.

"The slaves have lost a lot, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the slaves, so it is necessary to let them rest.

But once the offensive is stopped, Cao Jun will seize the opportunity to catch his breath. With Cao Cao's talent, maybe he will figure out a way to leave. "

Gao Zhong stared at the offensive and defensive map on the table, which was roughly drawn using the intelligence obtained these days, and marked with the comparison and distribution of the forces between the enemy and us.

After attacking for so many days, Yecheng is still in the hands of the enemy, which makes Gao Zhong feel a lot of pressure. After all, he is facing Cao Cao, so he dare not be careless.

Lu Xun's mood was roughly the same. None of Chen Feng's masterminds were here, and young people like them had no choice but to step up.

Moreover, if capable and ambitious young people like them don't seize such a good opportunity, how can they climb up in the future.

It can be said that what is before them is both an opportunity and a challenge. Relatively speaking, the challenge is more difficult. After all, the opponent is Cao Cao.

After being silent for a while, Lu Xun's gaze suddenly shifted to the corner of the map, where neither side has temporarily stationed troops.

"If you don't count the gains and losses, in my opinion, it is better to dig the Zhangshui and Weishui, direct the flood to Yecheng, and use the water force to attack Yecheng."

Finally, Lu Xun expressed his thoughts that he had been brewing for a long time. With the help of the flood, he would definitely beat the army of tens of thousands of slaves.

However, Zhangshui and Weishui are two major rivers in the territory of Yecheng and Jizhou, and they are also very close to Yecheng. If it is really dug, it will definitely cause flooding.

At that time, regardless of whether Cao Cao can be killed or not, the area around Yecheng must be useless. In this way, after taking Yecheng, it will have to spend a lot of money on renovations.

It was this serious consequence that made Lu Xun hesitate. It can be said that no one dared to issue such an order except Chen Feng.

"Are you still discussing? Why haven't there been any results yet?"

Yan Cheng opened the curtain and walked in, looked at the two colleagues beside the desk, and sat down with a smile.

"Cao Cao is indeed difficult to deal with. The elite Cao army is definitely the strongest opponent I have ever seen. Compared with the foreign cavalry on the grassland, the fighting power is definitely several times stronger.

Why, you haven't figured out a way to defeat the enemy yet?Hehe, don't worry, tell me if you have any ideas, and the three of us will discuss and discuss together. "

Yan Cheng is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely, especially when he is with such an excellent companion, he is very willing to discuss and exchange ideas together.

Seeing Lu Xun's fingers resting on the position representing Weishui, Yan Cheng quickly understood what his companions were discussing.

"Digging the embankment will indeed speed up our defeat of the enemy, but we may not be very sure about killing Cao Cao.

But if we don't dig the embankment, the battle situation will have to be deadlocked, unless our army has reinforcements arriving, which is really difficult. "

Yan Cheng smiled wryly. He could feel the feelings of the two companions, but he could only smile awkwardly. Such a dilemma is really not so easy to solve.

"I hate this kind of hesitation, the mood of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, alas, why not tell foster father immediately and let him make a decision.

Hey, we're talking about digging the embankment and destroying the enemy army with floods. Maybe Cao Cao thinks the same way.

If I were Cao Cao, if I had the opportunity to dig the embankment, I would definitely not hesitate. Damn it, it's a dead end anyway. "

Yan Cheng smiled helplessly, and at the same time teased his opponent. This was an unintentional remark, but when Gao Zhong heard it, his expression changed instantly.

"Oops, we were fooled. Hurry up, come and order the two generals Wen Meng and Lu Xiao to lead their subordinates to patrol the Weishui River and Zhangshui River respectively. If any suspicious people are found, they will be dealt with on the spot."

Gao Zhong roared angrily, and then ordered Wen Meng and Yan Cheng to carry out the mission. Lu Xun and Yan Cheng were still a little confused at this time.

"Impossible, General Gao, even if Cao Cao wants to dig the Zhangshui and Weishui, he still needs to send enough men to do it.

Yecheng is completely besieged by us, and it is possible for one or two people to escape, but it is absolutely impossible for thousands of people to escape. "

Lu Xun had already guessed what Gao Zhong was thinking, and Yan Cheng also nodded. Maybe Cao Cao also wanted to use the flood, but could he dispatch troops?

Gao Zhong shook his head, looked at his two colleagues, his face became more serious, it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.

"In addition to Cao Cao, don't forget, there is also Guo Jia. He has led an army into Jizhou. With his resourcefulness, he must have thought of this."

"What, third brother, do you mean that Guo Jia will send people to do this? But, isn't he trapped in the plain by his adoptive father?"

"Trapped? No, it's impossible. Don't you think it's strange? Guo Jia is no one. Will he really be trapped? I think there is a problem."

"Since this is the case, the two generals, the most urgent task is not to attack the city, but to transfer our troops, horses and supplies to the high ground as soon as possible, just in case."

The three young people didn't need to speak too much, they explained the details clearly in just a few sentences, and Lu Xun even suggested taking precautionary measures.

Soon, the messengers rushed out of the camp to deliver orders to Zhang He and the others, and Gao Zhong's camp soon began to operate.

Chapter 673

In the east of Yecheng, more than 30 miles away from Zhangshui, Lu Xiao was leading [-] cavalry to accelerate forward. After receiving Gao Zhong's order, he rushed here without stopping.

"Hurry up, arrive at Zhangshui as soon as possible, patrol the surrounding area, and be sure to kill the enemy when encountering them, hurry up."

The expression on Lu Xiao's face was very anxious. Gao Zhong was not only his sworn brother, but also his brother-in-law, and he was also his superior in position.

Therefore, no matter whether it is because of personal relationship or because of his official position in the military, he must strictly follow the other party's orders. Moreover, Lu Xiao knew very well that he, the third brother, would never target without purpose.

"Whoo, whoo,,,,,,"

Just as Lu Xiao continued to advance, the sound of several arrows piercing the air came. It seemed that there was indeed a problem near Zhangshui.

"Small tricks,,,,,,"

The moment he heard the sound of arrows, Lu Xiao's face was full of disdain, and he didn't even stop his horse, but continued to move forward.

At the same time, he bent his bow and set his arrows, judging the direction only by the sound, and quickly shot six arrows. There were several wailing sounds. It seemed that Lu Xiao had shot the enemy hiding beside the road.

"There is no need to hunt down and kill the remnants of the enemy. They want to stop us from advancing. If someone comes, immediately send someone back to report to General Gao. The rest will follow me and continue to advance. Be sure to stop the enemy."

After shooting and killing some of the enemy troops, Lu Xiao stopped his subordinates from chasing and killing them. He understood what his mission was. Right now, he must ensure the safety of Zhangshui.

Outside of Yecheng, in Gaozhong's camp, all the slaves and soldiers were busy, food, grass and war horses were first transferred to the high mountains, and some elites had also been transferred.

Gao Zhong was walking back and forth anxiously in the big camp. What happened today was actually just an inference, he couldn't be sure whether the other party would do this.

But as Lu Xun said, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, moving most of the grain, grass, luggage and some elites to the highlands can be regarded as dispersing the danger.

Furthermore, most of the slaves are still outside the city, enough for attacking the city. As long as Lu Xiao and Wen Meng get definite news, they can plan their next move.

"Report, tell General, General Lu sent someone to report that there are enemy activities near Zhangshui River, and he is leading the army to clear up."

"Sure enough, the enemy army really intends to dig Zhangshui. Quick, come, and immediately send [-] slave cavalry to support General Lu. Hurry up."
