Chapter 631 Yuan's Postoperative Withdrawal and Flooding of Xiapi (Two in One)

"Ran!"

Ji Ling felt like punching cotton.

The old man Tao Qian ran to Qu County with his people, and gave up the good state capital.

Running faster than a rabbit, how does this allow him to complete the task assigned by Yuan Shu.

If Tao Qian cannot be captured alive, the battle of Xuzhou will always be just the beginning.

Only by catching Tao Qian can the battle be considered half completed.

Qu County, it's close to Yuzhou Mountain Island, if I chase after him, the old man won't be picked up by Xu Ding's navy.

Or flee south to Guangling County.

This is all a headache, shaking his head, Ji Ling felt that this kind of thing should not be considered by himself, so he waved his hand and said: "Go to the city!"

It is most correct to accept the city.

However, after taking over Dan County, Ji Ling felt depressed again.

There are no people in the city!

There is no money and food in the city!

There are not many aristocratic families left in the city!

If Tao Qian was given some time, Ji Ling had no doubt that the old man would be able to evacuate the state capital.

If you want to do it this way, we in Yuzhou have no shortage of people or money and food, and we will not rob you of your things.

My lord, Yuan Shu, has a bold and unrestrained temperament of a knight-errant, and will not do assholes like Cao Cao.

This is true. Although Yuan Shu has a proud personality, his eyes are above the top.

But the kind that harms the nobility and the family is too disdainful to do it.

"The general has good news!" One of his subordinates brought a child from an aristocratic family who hadn't left to report the good news to Ji Ling.

Ji Lingdao: "What good news, you'd better be able to say something that makes me happy, otherwise I want to tear people apart now!"

Starting from the attack on Xuzhou, he was first defeated by Li Jin and injured, and then pushed hard all the way. The city was occupied a lot, but not many soldiers and horses of the opponent were eliminated. Now Tao Qian also ran away early.

Ji Ling was actually not in a good mood.

The subordinate said: "It is said that Cao Cao sent cavalry to attack the southern part of Taishan County, and then ran to destroy Langya County. Now it seems that Kaiyang has been attacked, so old man Tao Qian was scared and ran away."

"..." Ji Ling.

Seeing that half of Ji Ling's face turned black, his subordinates realized that they had said something wrong, and hurriedly said: "Old man Tao Qian saw us coming, he had internal and external troubles, and we beat the crap out of him and ran away."

Ji Ling looked at the son of the aristocratic family who was brought over by his subordinates and said, "Is it true that Cao Cao sent troops to Mount Tai?"

The son of the aristocratic family shrunk his head and nodded, saying in a submissive manner: "Hui Hui Hui General, it is absolutely true at this time, Cao Jun has entered Langya County, and it is said that he has come to open Yangcheng."

Ji Ling waved his hand to tell his subordinates to take him away, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, and then burst into anger when there was no one around: "Cao Cao, you bastard, you are a fart soldier!"

Ji Ling's fist slammed on the wooden pole.

It broke with a click.

Cao Cao sent troops without notifying him, and directly scared his big fish away, causing him to beat Dan County for nothing. Can Ji Ling not be angry?

Ji Ling, who thought the truth was like this, was naturally extremely resentful.

However, he quickly sent someone to notify Yuan Shu of the matter.

Next, how do I need Yuan Shu to give instructions.

Whether to pursue Tao Qian or something else.

"Cao Cao is shameless. He secretly sent cavalry to attack the southern part of Mount Tai. Shameless." Yuan Shu received the embellished battle report from Ji Ling, and soon understood Cao Cao's intentions, and couldn't help but cursed.

Whether Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry sent troops to Mount Tai or attacked Langya, it was definitely not out of good intentions to cooperate with him in attacking Xuzhou, but for Cao Cao's own interests.

Yuan Shu could tell this at a glance. If it was cooperation, Cao Cao must send someone to contact him so that the north and the south could attack Tao Qian.

Since Cao Cao didn't notify himself, it shows that Cao Cao's selfishness is doing private work.

How could Yuan Shu not be angry? The old man Tao Qian, who was at his fingertips, was scared away because of Cao Jun.

Yuan Huan said: "I don't think Tao Qian's retreat is all due to the appearance of Cao Cao's cavalry in Langya County. This is part of Wang Xiu's strategy!"

Yuan Shu was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Cao Cao's cavalry went south just at the right time. It should be a coincidence. Tao Qian should have been prepared for moving east." Yuan Huan continued:
"General Yiji's return, Dan County has been completely withdrawn, this must have been preset.

Er Tao Qian is like a carrot, always whetting our appetite. If we chase to Qu County, the battle line will be stretched again. If Tao Qian runs to Guangling again, we can’t always chase after him. There will be more and more weaknesses. Once Wang Xiu launches a counterattack and a fierce attack, we may be disconnected. "

"Yaoqing, what do you mean to stop pursuing?" Yuan Shu asked uncertainly.

Yuan Huan said: "That's right, we can't chase anymore, even Dan County can be abandoned. We should retreat. If we can't get in touch with Cao Jun and establish a position on the same front, then we must retreat and defend."

Now looking at the two snakes marked on the map, Yuan Huan seemed to think of what Wang Xiu wanted to do.

What is really important in Xuzhou is Tao Qian. As long as Tao Qian is not ambushed, as long as he does not die, Xuzhou will not be scattered.

Dan County is not very useful, and it can't do much with it.

That's why Yuan Huan realized that Pengcheng and Xiapi were still existences that he couldn't get around and had to fight after watching all of Wang Xiu's arrangements.

These two places are the eyes of the two snakes.

If they can't hit here, Wang Xiu's two little snakes can still twist and change.

If he can't win these two things, he won't be able to defend the whole of Xuzhou, and it's useless.

So the problem goes back to the very beginning.

Things are back to the original point, and time is wasted in vain.

"Then let's wait and see if Cao Cao's people will go south to contact us. If they can contact us, it will be of great benefit to taking down Xuzhou." After finally taking down Dan County, Yuan Shu didn't want to give up so easily. .

So he asked Ji Ling to stay in Dan County for a few more days, and sent someone to go north to Kaiyang to get in touch with Tiger and Leopard Riders.

It's just that their people didn't get in touch with the Hubaoqi, and soon found out that the Hubaoqi was defeated by Ma Teng and Xi Zhicai and suffered heavy losses, and then withdrew from Xuzhou.

"Withdraw! Immediately withdraw from Dan County and Wuyuan City! Withdraw to Lu County!" Ji Ling led an army of tens of thousands to the south after hearing Xi Zhi, and killed Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry. He had no intention of staying in Dan County at all. , led the people back to Wuyuan City overnight.

And soon withdrew from Wuyuan City to Yuan Shu in Lu County.

Before Xi Zhicai went south, a large number of reinforcements from Qingzhou came, and if he didn't leave, he would be surrounded by Danxian.

So Ji Ling was quite nervous.

Even Yuan Huan once thought it was Wang Xiu's conspiracy, but soon they received news that Xi Caizhi had diverted to the south of Mount Tai to quell the chaos, and hadn't gone south at all.

And Tao Qian also stayed in Qu County and did not fight back.

Everything became confusing again.

"What's wrong? What else have I overlooked?" Yuan Huan walked back and forth, constantly deliberating, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, as if thinking of something, he walked to the desk in two steps, with his hands resting on the map In the middle of the cloth, his eyes were fixed on the downstream of the Sui River, Qulu City on the right side of Ziqiu.

"Zhuyi! It's still Zhuyi. Wang Xiu still wants to attack Zhuyi. He still wants to cut off our army's middle route. He wants to cut off our connection with Yuzhou. His navy will march west from Sui River. has acted.
It's a good plan, throwing out the meat of Danxian County, let the old man Tao Qian come to draw hatred and firmly attract us, but in the end he still wants to outflank and block our army's rear, and his appetite is not small. "At this moment, Yuan Huan finally fully understood Wang Xiu's intention, and knew what he wanted to do.

"Wang Shuzhi still wants to eat them. He really dares to think about it. He wants to eat my 15 army with only tens of thousands of troops. He has not woken up from the dream." Yuan Shu laughed disdainfully.

Yuan Huan said: "My lord, the people of Marquis of Weihai have always been very courageous. There is nothing they dare not think of. Marquis of Weihai himself is not afraid of anything. He does everything differently, which is contrary to our aristocratic family. Subordinates think so too.

If he plans to use up the navy, storm Zhuyi and block Sui River, we are really in danger, so please retreat to Ziqiu immediately, and be sure to urge the defenders of Zhuyi not to lose this place. "

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will retreat to the west, but I will retreat directly to Zhuyi. With me here, who dares not to try my best."

"Alright, my lord's safety comes first. With my lord supervising Zhanzhuyi, Sui Shui will not be controlled by the Donglai navy." Yuan Huan thought about it and agreed with Yuan Shu's idea, and continued:
"In this way, I can storm Xiapi with General Ji Ling, and also give Wang Xiu a surprise!"

Yuan Shu said: "You have thought of a way to attack Xiapi!"

"Yes, my lord, but this method is a bit hurtful, but if it succeeds, it can shatter Wang Xiu's plan, disrupt his deployment, and even create a chance to defeat and eliminate him." Yuan Huan's face showed A look of affirmation, but also a touch of unbearable, because his plan to break the city will really cause large-scale casualties, and there is no difference.

But Yuan Shu didn't care about these things and just said: "As long as we can break Xiapi, it doesn't matter whether he hurts Tianhe or not, I think we are better than Cao Cao no matter how hard we are!"

Cao Cao really robbed and killed tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou, and the whole Surabaya did not flow.

There are also digging people's graves and digging up treasures.

Although Cao Cao said that he did not do this, but it happened when he attacked Xuzhou, and it is not wrong to blame him.

He didn't massacre people randomly, and he didn't dig graves, which was much more kind than Cao Cao.

Yuan Huan wanted to explain something and finally swallowed it back, but he still didn't tell Yuan Shu how to break the city.

Because he was afraid that Yuan Shu would not be able to use it, because Yuan Shu didn't care about anything else, but he cared about face.

Yuan Shu left, and soon Yuan Huan received the news that Jiang Qin had entered Suishui to attack Qulucheng.

Sure enough, it was still a step too late, and Lucheng still fell.

However, because he guessed Wang Xiu's intention earlier, Zhuyi City was guarded tightly, Li Jin failed to make another jump attack, and retreated to Wu County after the sneak attack failed.

Of course, Yuan Jun didn't dare to attack Wu County this time. They dared Li Jin to play tricks again, lure them to attack again, and then staged another siege.

The left line is safe and sound.

When Yuan Shu retreated to Zhuyi, the rear was stable.

Yuan Huan led the army to let Ji Ling go straight to Xiapi, and built a dam on the Sishui River overnight to intercept the water.

Xiapi City is located on the north side of the Sishui River and on the east side of the Yishui River, which belongs to the junction of the two rivers.

Originally, the two rivers were the natural line of defense for Xiapi City, but now they have become Yuan Huan's sharp weapon for attacking the city.

When he got up the next day, a sergeant reported the news to Li Gan. Li Gan frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Go and ask Mr. Xue to come over."

Soon Xue Zong came, and after listening to the sergeant's report, Xue Zong pondered for a moment and said, "I guess Yuan Huan has two intentions.

One is to block the support of our army's navy in the north and south, and the other is that he wants to burst the embankment and flood the downhill. "

"What! He wants to break the embankment, how dare they?" Li Gan was shocked when he heard the words, and he couldn't believe it.

Breaking the embankment and dumping the water of the two rivers, if this is really done, the area around Xiashan City will be destroyed.

This is too disastrous, and they don't care about the life and death of the people at all, and they do everything they can.

Xue Zong shook his head and said: "We are fighting now, and the soldiers are deceitful. Only the victory and the defeat are based on morality, and I guess Yuan Huan's real intention of flooding downhill is to prevent our army from reinforcements. At the same time, according to the current water level conditions, The water will not be able to rush down Picheng at all, it will only be soaked by the water for a while, and then make the city walls soft, and then it will be much easier to attack the city."

Hearing that the water would not overwhelm Xiapi City, Li Gan felt relieved.

Are there still many people in the city?
If the city collapses and is swept by the water, 90.00% of them will drown after five days.

"Come here, order the people to reinforce the corners of the houses of each family, put all the food and clothing in a high place where it will not be flooded, and seal the city gate for me, so as not to let water seep in." Li Qiankun ordered The underling said.

Xue Zong said: "General, Yuan Huan will not break the embankment in a while, let the sergeant inform the nearby people to take refuge in other counties. If possible, I think the general can also withdraw from Xiapi."

"It's enough to inform the people. It's not appropriate for our army to retreat downhill. Once Xiapi falls, the right-wing front will collapse, and Wang Junshi's plan will be ruined." Li Gan shook his head and refused.

Xue Zong persuaded: "But you and the First Army are more important, General. The First Army and you can't lose. Without Xiapi, we can retreat to the lower level, and we can still reorganize the Long Snake Formation." .”

"Xiaxiang is incomparable with Xiapi at all. Alright Mr. Xue, I'm determined to let it be like this. Besides, didn't you say that Xiapi won't be washed away even if the current water level breaks the embankment?

Since it won't collapse, am I still afraid of Ji Ling and Yuan Huan? "Li Gan said resolutely.

Xue Zong smiled wryly and said: "General, it won't collapse at that time, but it will still collapse after soaking for a long time. This city is made of compacted soil, not all of it is made of blue bricks and huge stones."

"It doesn't matter, soaking takes time, right? It should be able to last for three or two days. It's not bad if it can be delayed for three or two days. If we really can't keep it by then, it's not too late for us to retreat!" Li Gan saw Xue Zong still wanted to persuade, so he said to his opponent:

"Come here, take Xue Zong away from Xiapi, and send me safely to the next phase, if something goes wrong, come and see me!"

"promise!"

"General... hey!"

Two days passed quickly, and the water levels of the Sishui River and the Yishui River both rose significantly. Ji Ling asked: "Sir, is this really feasible? There are also resourceful people in the opposite city. It seems that they are Disperse the people, lest the scriptures will see our intentions."

"Haha, so what if you see it. My real trump card is not this. Who would have thought of our unique way of attacking the city? Li Gan and Xue Zong can only guess that I will be flooded downhill. The next move?" Yuan Huan said with a confident smile:

"Break the embankment in the middle of the night and attack Xiapi at dawn. I have designed a plan for the general based on scriptures. It depends on whether the soldiers can fight bravely."

"Don't worry, military commander, as long as your method works, I'll have no problem. I'll go there myself. I'll cut Li Qiankun first and see how much he weighs." Ji Ling patted his chest to reassure, adding Timing his mouth, he looked longingly at Xiapi City, his eyes full of fighting spirit and desire for revenge.

Li family!

I must defeat your Li family.
