Mi Han

Liu Ye said that "Bao and Han can be used", referring to the two rivers that flow through Nanzheng, Baoshui and Hanshui.

Of course Cao Zhen understood what Liu Ye meant.

But after understanding the meaning of Liu Ye's words, a thoughtful look appeared on Cao Zhen's face.

After a while, Cao Zhen politely invited Liu Ye to enter the account with him, showing no signs of his reluctance to talk to Liu Ye just now.

Liu Ye was no stranger to this.

It may be the role of role models. The Cao family's children have been cold-hearted since Cao Cao.

To put it simply, if a person is useful to them, then they will not hesitate to offer their deepest respect.

But if a person is useless to them, or blocks their way forward, then no matter how much credit this person has made in the past, most of the endings will be miserable.

Have you not seen Mr. Xun Ling?
Just because he knew the temperament of the Cao family's children, in order not to fall into the same fate as Xun Lingjun, Liu Ye could only put himself in a useful situation.

At Cao Zhen's invitation, Liu Ye followed Cao Zhen into the tent.

After Liu Ye entered the account, Cao Zhen put on the appearance of a respectful corporal, and personally brought a futon for Liu Ye and asked him to sit down.

After Liu Ye sat down, Cao Zhen returned to his seat and asked Liu Ye:
"Since you have a clever plan, you can explain it in detail."

Although Cao Zhen heard Liu Ye's strategy of attacking Nanzheng by water from Liu Ye's words, but fire and water have always been ruthless, and there is no specific plan. How easy is it to attack Nanzheng by water?

The river is surging, sometimes it doesn't matter whether you are the Han army or the Wei army.

After hearing Cao Zhen's patronage, Liu Ye said slowly, "General, do you still remember how Emperor Wu flooded the city of Ye?"

Liu Ye's inquiry made Cao Zhen's thoughts drift back to that summer in the ninth year of Jian'an.

The summer of that year was as hot as this year.

At that time, Yuan Shaoxin died, and the Yuan brothers were in civil strife. Seeing that Hebei had an opportunity to take advantage of it, Emperor Wu Cao Cao sent all his troops from the Central Plains to the north, intending to take Yecheng in one fell swoop.

But there are many loyal ministers in Hebei, and there are also many capable ministers.

It was Yuan's loyal officials who guarded Yecheng back then.

No matter how strong Cao's army was back then, Emperor Wu still couldn't take Yecheng under the trial and error.

The situation at that time was very similar to what it is now.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Wu could only come up with a plan to break the embankment of the Zhang River and flood the city of Ye.

It's just not as well known by many people in the world. Emperor Wu's plan to flood Yecheng can only be regarded as half successful.

It's not that Cao Cao didn't want to work hard to dig the river channel, but the city walls of Yecheng were too thick, and the water from the Zhang River didn't directly break through the city walls of Yecheng.

The actual situation at that time was actually that under the guidance of our own army, the surging Zhangshui surrounded the city of Ye, directly cutting off the hope of survival of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

With the help of this point, there was the later trial of Rong Kaicheng surrender.

During the Battle of Yecheng, it was when Cao Zhen led the army for the first time. At that time, he watched Cao Cao's layout at the scene, and he knew the situation well.

But because of his deep understanding, Cao Zhen substituted the situation of the year into the present, and he quickly discovered that something was wrong.

"Back when Yuan Shaoxin died, Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan competed for power and profit, which caused turmoil in the hearts of Hebei. Coupled with the siege of Zhangshui City, some people surrendered anyway.

But the situation in Nanzheng is quite different from that in Yecheng.

Mi Yang has made great military exploits and has great prestige in Ni Han. In addition, he is Liangzhou Mu, whom Ni Han worships, and his name belongs to him.

With him in Nanzheng for a day, even if our army repeats the methods of the past, no one in Nanzheng City will leave the city and surrender. "

Cao Zhen is right to worry about this.

No matter how high the ability of the trial and assignment was, it was not well-received in the end. In addition, he was guarding Yecheng as a minister.

But Mi Yang is different, not only the prestige between the two is incomparable, but also their identities are completely different.

Liangzhou Mu is essentially the master of Liangzhou. With him around, how could it be so easy for the soldiers and civilians in Nanzheng to surrender?
Cao Zhen looked at Liu Ye with puzzled eyes, thinking that he would relieve himself of this doubt.

After seeing Cao Zhen's puzzled gaze, Liu Ye showed a confident look in his eyes.

"Emperor Wu couldn't break Yecheng with Zhangshui back then, because the city walls of Yecheng were too strong, but how many strong cities like Yecheng are there in the world?
Only Luoyang and Chang'an are comparable. "

As soon as Liu Ye said this, Cao Zhen's eyes lit up instantly.

At that time, the Yuan family was the fourth generation and the third prince, who swallowed the world, and Hebei was the most prosperous in the world, so that the city of Ye was built as solid as gold.

But even though Nanzheng is the governing place of Liangzhou, how can its defenses be as tough as Yecheng?
Seeing that his words resonated with Cao Zhen, Liu Ye continued to say:

"In addition, although Zhangshui flows through Yecheng, it cannot compare with Hanshui in terms of flow rate and river width.

Has the general forgotten the mighty power of the Han River?

What's more, there is still Baoshui outside Nanzheng City that can be used. "

Liu Ye's analysis made Cao Zhen nod again.

The turbulent power of the Han River mentioned in Liu Ye's words refers to the fact that Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army with the help of the Han River.

After that battle, no one in the world knows that if the Han River becomes turbulent, it will not be weaker than the Yangtze River at all?

After finishing this point of analysis, Liu Ye placed another insurance policy on his strategy.

"The current month is about to enter May, and starting from May will be the rainy season in Hanzhong.

When the rainy season comes, the water volume in Han and Bao is bound to skyrocket. At that time, our army will burst the embankment and flood the city, and it will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort. "

After Liu Ye finished speaking, Cao Zhen stood up excitedly.

Throughout the ages, although the strategy of attacking a city with water is dangerous, it has been adopted by famous generals.

For example, Baiqi flooded Yingdu back then, turning the vicinity of Yingdu into a country for thousands of miles, and Yingdu, which is famous for its strong city, was easily captured by the Qin army.

Apart from this case, even in the current world, there are many examples of battles that used water to break through the city.

It can be said that as long as it is feasible to break through the city with water, then this tactic will have a devastating blow to almost any fortified city.

As for the feasibility of attacking Nanzheng with water, didn't Liu Ye explain it very clearly?

Cao Zhen happily paced back and forth around his seat. If he could really take down Nanzheng and kill Mi Yang with this plan, it would be small for his personal revenge, but it would be of great benefit to the whole Great Wei.

After a while, Cao Zhen forced himself to calm down, and he came directly to Liu Ye and bowed to him:

"Goodbye, Zi Yang.

What should our army do next, I hope Ziyang will advise. "

As the head coach of the Wei Army, after Cao Zhen evaluated the feasibility of Liu Ye's strategy, the next step was to ask Liu Ye about the specific steps.

In order to successfully achieve the goal in his heart, Cao Zhen's attitude at this moment is not too low.

Seeing Cao Zhen bowing to him, even Liu Ye couldn't help being shocked.

He hastily got up to avoid Cao Zhen and saluted, then helped Cao Zhen up and said: "Ye is a minister of the Great Wei, and he should devote himself to the Great Wei, so how can he give me advice."

After saying this, Liu Ye continued to speak to Cao Zhen:
"Although this plan is clever, it takes a long time. Next, I will ask the general to do two things."

"Zi Yang, please speak."

"The first thing is: the general should launch an attack on Nanzheng as usual in the next few days.

This can temporarily paralyze the enemy army, and secondly, it can also prepare in advance for what our army will do next.

The second thing is: the earth and mountains are no longer a threat to Nanzheng. The general might as well send a large number of civilians to dig dams at the Hanshui and Baoshui rivers to prepare for the subsequent flooding of Nanzheng.

Then another group of soldiers was sent to dig trenches several feet wide and several feet deep outside Nanzheng. A wide river channel was reserved on all sides of the trenches for the purpose of diverting the Han and Bao rivers in the future. "

After listening to the two things Liu Ye said, Cao Zhen immediately agreed.

As for what Liu Ye said took a long time, Cao Zhen didn't care much.

Siege battles in today's world often take a long time, as long as he can successfully capture Nanzheng, he has plenty of time.

After agreeing to Liu Ye, Cao Zhen, who was in a good mood, started to make old mistakes again.

"On the day when our army takes Nanzheng, Gu will personally submit a petition to plead for Ziyang's merits. At that time, it will be a matter of making him a marquis and worshiping Qing."

But after hearing Cao Zhen's words, Liu Ye was not as happy as others.

He begged Cao Zhen: "Ye's advice today is all out of a public heart, and he does not ask for a high salary in the future. If the general is sympathetic to his subordinates, please don't reveal to the world that this plan was offered by the minister. "

Liu Ye's polite refusal made Cao Zhen narrow his eyes.

Cao Zhen, who has experienced many things in the world, would not know why Liu Ye declined, and the reason was by no means "not seeking high-ranking officials and rich salary" as he said.

If this is the case, why did Liu Ye go to the late emperor?

The reason why Liu Ye declined was simply because he felt that the plan of water attack was too vicious, and he just didn't want to bear the stigma.

It's just that even if he guessed Liu Ye's mind, Cao Zhen didn't pay much attention to it.

Cao Zhen's personality is quite similar to Cao Cao's. He will use celebrities, but he can't trust them. This is because they all know that most of the celebrities in the world are duplicity.

It's no surprise.

Besides, for Cao Zhen, as long as he can successfully win Nanzheng, then he is not worried about his reputation being tarnished.

Dare to give orders to slaughter the city, are you still afraid of this?

Cao Zhen, who knew it well, agreed to Liu Ye's request, and Cao Zhen agreed to let Liu Ye secretly heave a sigh of relief.

After the worries in his heart disappeared, Liu Ye turned to look forward to the arrival of the rainy season.

At this time, Liu Ye couldn't help asking inwardly as usual:
"Facing this trick, how do you resist it?"

With a "pop", Mi Yang slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the food table, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Zonger binds the building to the sky, and I will go through the city to fetch you."

What is this Gao Wang speech?

But if you put yourself in the shoes of the Han army today, even if the time and space are different, it is understandable for Cao Zhen to express similar indignation to Gao Huan.

It's just that understanding is understanding, but it doesn't prevent Mi Yang from laughing.

Although it is impossible to directly go out of the city to count the damage of the Wei army today, but it must be a lot of damage to the Wei army today.

Moreover, after today's battle, it is expected that the Wei army will not launch an attack soon, which will undoubtedly buy him some time.

How could this make Mi Yang not feel happy?

Laughing like Mi Yang, there were also Fa Miao, Lu Yi, and Wei Yan who were dining with him.

Fa Miao and others not only laughed at Cao Zhen's indignation, but also laughed at Mi Yang's wit.

Before today, who would have thought that Mi Yang would come up with a way to increase the height of the building and break the Wei army's offensive?
Due to their good mood, several people in the hall ate very fast.

After the meal, Mi Yang ordered people to remove the tableware, and then asked people to spread a map on the ground, so he sat around the map with a few confidants and began to discuss the next plan.

Laughing at the enemy is a must, and this is also a way to improve the morale of one's own troops.

But be prepared for danger in times of peace, and Mi Yang will not take Wei Jun outside the city lightly just because of a small victory for a while.

On the detailed map, the forthright Wei Yandang first asked Mi Yang, "General, if everything goes well, the messengers in the city should have arrived at the Jiange.

I just don't know what His Majesty and the Prime Minister will do with the general's strategy. "

Since all the people present were Mi Yang's trustworthy confidantes, they naturally knew why Mi Yang sent the messenger before.

And although this matter has not been exposed, it has always been concerned in the hearts of everyone.

After all, it is definitely not feasible to stick to Nanzheng. The only way to break the situation is to introduce new forces from outside the situation.

But Wei Yan didn't notice that when he asked this sentence, the smiles of the people around him disappeared in an instant.

Even Mi Yang's face became slightly gloomy.

Mi Yang and others behaved like this, it is because they are not sure about this matter in their hearts.

Apart from other things, it is still one thing whether the messengers sent can reach Jiange smoothly.

And even if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang learned of his strategy, how could it be so easy for the army to surprise Dingjun Mountain?
If this matter can be completed, the current situation of the battle can be reversed in one fell swoop, but in the process of completion, there are really too many difficulties and obstacles.

When everyone was silent and Wei Yan was puzzled, two figures suddenly appeared outside the hall.

These two figures, one is a beautiful woman, and the other is a child carved in powder and jade.

When Mi Yang was discussing the military plan, the one who dared to appear outside the hall without authorization must be a close relative of Mi Yang.

That beautiful woman is Mi Yang's wife Guan Yan, and the child carved in pink and jade is Mi Yang's eldest son, Mi Cheng.

After seeing his wife and son appear, a smile subconsciously appeared on Mi Yang's face.

What made Mi Yang even more happy was that little Mi Cheng, who had just learned to walk, was staggering towards him with a small bowl in his pink hand.

After Guan Yan entered the hall, she smiled and pointed to Xiao Micheng and explained: "I made some soup to relieve the heat today, and he insisted on bringing some for my husband to taste."

Guan Yan's explanation let everyone in the hall know the reason for their arrival.

And Xiao Micheng's filial piety also attracted smiles from the corners of the mouths of several people in the hall except Wei Yan.

It was as if Xiao Mi Cheng's arrival swept away all their worries.

This is also normal, Mi Yang is their lord, and as the eldest son of Mi Yang, Xiao Mi Cheng will definitely inherit all the honors of Mi Yang in the future.

Their generation followed Mi Yang to conquer the world, and their next generation would most likely continue to cling to Xiao Mi Cheng.

Even if Xiao Micheng will not be their lord in the future, the origin or interests between each other's descendants have long been indistinguishable.

In this state of mind, the more promising Xiao Micheng is, the happier they are.

Doesn't one have a future in this world from the word "filial piety"?

When Fa Miao and others saw Xiao Micheng running towards Mi Yang, they quickly shifted their positions to let Xiao Micheng enter.

And Xiao Mi Cheng's filial piety also made Mi Yang, a father, feel very pleased.

But it may be that he just learned to walk, Xiao Micheng's footsteps were not steady, coupled with impatience, Xiao Micheng accidentally fell down when he was about to walk around Mi Yang's body.

This fall directly poured the soup in the small bowl in his hand onto the map.

Soon, the place on the map that symbolizes "Nanzheng" was completely soaked by the hot soup.

No one expected this sudden scene.

What everyone didn't expect was that after seeing "Nanzheng" in front of him soaked in water, Mi Yang frowned directly.
