The three men got the news and quickly came to Yang You to say a few words to let Hou Jun order one hundred elite cavalry to leave the camp and head for the north of Junyangcheng.
Hou Junqian, Yang You, Han Shihe and others first headed north, and all the people walked along Danshui and inspected it. Because of the erosion of Danshui, the terrain in this area is fairly flat, but there are also two miles of flat terrain. There are still undulating mountains on both sides of Danshui.
Moving on, the road becomes narrower, and the river is more than ten feet wide. Yang You jumped off his horse and went to Dan’s water and stopped. Here, the water is fierce and the river hits the banks of the river, and the white waves keep jumping out and reflecting the afterglow of the sun.
Yang You looked around and found that it was not suitable here, because although it was narrow, it gradually widened and the terrain was relatively flat.
When Yang You was thinking, Wang Changxie got the news that more than 100 cavalry in Sui Jun were marching towards the north. Wang Changxie wondered what this group of cavalry was going to do. He told the soldiers to spy on themselves and keep thinking.
There is still a chance for more than 100 cavalry to fight in the field. What is Sui Jun going to do if he doesn’t win the battle?
Soon after the news came back, Wang Changxie got more detailed news. It turned out that Yang You had left the camp to inspect the terrain. Wang Changxie guessed that Yang You should be familiar with the geography when the two armies fought. It was normal for Yang You to explore, but did he really explore?
Wang Changxie, who has been in Xiyang County for almost two years, knows the geography of Xiyang County very well. Even if the mountain pass is gradually closed in the north, there is nothing because he will not leave the city at all.
Do you mean to attract your attention, let yourself go out of the city on impulse and attack, and then he waits for an opportunity to seize the city?
Thought of this, Wang Changxie shook his head. He thought it was impossible. If he did this, he would not only insult his IQ, but also Yang You’s IQ.
Yang You didn’t know that his trip made Wang Changhe want to break his head and didn’t even eat dinner.
After a visit to Danshui in Yang You, I gave up my mind and ran to the south. This time, Yang You rushed to the place where Danshui and Hanshui meet. The terrain here is more dull, but due to the large increase in traffic at the intersection of the two rivers, the water is surging.
Yang You first went to the north to see the river, and then the south to see the river reminded Du Ruhui of something. He approached the Yang You low road. "Do you want to attack with water?"
Yang You nodded and said, "Yes, I went there and found that the terrain is narrow but wide, just like a bell mouth. Although the terrain is conducive to intercepting water and accumulating river water, if the river is too wide, once it rushes out, it may not be able to wash away Junyangcheng, but maybe it will rush to its own camp."
Du Ruhui coughed, which he also thought about. Because the whole Xiyang County is high in the west, low in the east, high in the north and low in the south, it is not good for him to do so. Yang You turned his attention to swimming.
After a tour of Yang You, it was found that it was convenient to cut off the river at Sanli in the south of Junyang City.
Several people by the river stared at the river. Yang You first spoke, "What if several Aiqing cut off the river and dammed the city here?"
Han Shihe raised his tiger’s eyes and stared around. Generally speaking, water attacks include damming and flooding, breaking the bank to attack the enemy, and drowning the enemy. If you swim, you will break the bank to attack the enemy. If you swim, you will dam and flood the city.
Damming and flooding requires swimming or building dams around the city to raise the water level and submerge the city. This method has many advantages. Once the water level drops and coincides with the scorching sun, the city wall will quickly decay into rubble, even sand.
However, this method will inevitably take two or three months for a long time.
Han Shihe said it hesitantly. Yang You nodded and said, "This is a purpose, and that is to lead Zhao Cijing!"
Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes. He understood Yang You’s meaning. This is a typical siege. Sui Jun is besieged by Junyang for a long time. There must be rations in Junyang City, Jinan Township and Zhao Cijing’s army. He will not look at Junyang City and will come to the rescue.
At that time, it was time for the Sui army to break Tang Jun.
The military commander went to Sui Jun, except for the soldiers who had to stay in the camp. His soldiers all went to dam the dam. Sui Jun cut down several trees, picked out the thick trunk, sharpened one end and leveled the other.
The soldiers transported wooden stakes to the river by boat, and nailed a wooden stake every five steps. The wooden stake was deeply inserted into the river until it could not be shaken.
Having done all this is the first step. Sui Jun put sand into sandbags, which blocked the river. Sui Jun did not block the river at once, but slowly filled it from the center of both sides of the road. The last few sandbags blocked the river firmly.
When Sui Jun did all this, Wang Changxie kept observing, but after searching, he found that there were not only a large number of scouts on the two wings of the dam, but also hundreds of cavalry eyeing him. Once he could not help but fight, he would be hit head-on by Sui Jun cavalry.
Wang Changxie is quite resistant to this situation because there is almost no cavalry root method to confront the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty. He can watch helplessly as Sui Jun builds dams and soldiers gradually complete the encirclement.
Wang Changxie looked worried when he stared at the south. It is not uncommon that the state of Jin was in chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Zhi Bo gained the rule of the state of Jin, and Wei and Han families threatened to attack Zhao Jinyang.
Wang Changxie is very powerful in white water attack, and generally adopts water attack, either where the river is abundant or where the rain is abundant. Junyang County is close to Danshui and Hanshui, and the water quantity is suspected to be sufficient.
Generally speaking, it takes a long time to accumulate enough water or wash away the city or soak the city. Wang Changxie thinks that if Sui Jun takes a water attack, he will not be able to support it for two months at least. After two months, the situation is hard to say.
But at this time, Wang Changhe could not retreat. He could hold on to the city and watch Sui Jun build a dam and gradually surround Junyangcheng.
At this time, he hoped that Datang could have reinforcements to help him two months later, so there was still hope to defeat the Sui Dynasty in this war. After thinking clearly, Wang Changxie quickly returned to the house and wrote a letter to Li Daliang and Zhao Cijing respectively.
The letter to Li Daliang is to ask him to report to Chang ‘an to inform Xi ‘yang County of what happened, and to ask him to give support and allow Li Daliang to send troops to Xi ‘yang County, while the letter to Zhao Cijing is to ask Zhao Cijing to stay put for two months, because Sui Jun is confident that once it takes a water attack, it will not attack Wang Changhe.
After writing the letter, Wang Changxie called two confidants and gave them a letter respectively, telling them to leave the city as soon as possible and book the letter to the Song King.
The two knights had to make their horses gallop towards the north. Because of the different directions of Wu and Nanxiang, they left Junyangcheng soon. One of them ran towards the northwest and the other ran towards the north.
Both of them know that this letter is very important. It was a young soldier who was sent to Nanxiang repeatedly. After a long time running, his forehead was already sweating, but he did not wipe it and still ran.
Half an hour later, he arrived at a forest. The forest was dark and a two-foot-wide road passed through the forest. The young soldier didn’t notice the different shapes on both sides of the forest. He was so anxious that he ran in and suddenly heard a bang and several arrow feathers shot out.
The arrow feather is very fast. The knight didn’t take precautions for a moment. When he heard the sound, the arrow feather had already reached his eyes. He stared wide and didn’t respond. The arrow feather had pierced his throat and chest.
"Boom!" The knight crashed down the horse, but it still ran for dozens of steps. After that, the horse stopped running and slowly came back. The knight walked beside him without stopping to arch his face.
After the knight fell down, several heads appeared from the Woods. It was Du Guwu who saw him with a face of excitement and walked quickly to the knight’s side. He squatted down and held out his hand. He took out a letter in his arms.
Although I didn’t read the letter, Dugu Martial Arts Master has shown a smile and let him wait here and finally get what he wants.
Chapter 4 [in] flooded all Yang.
Nanxiangcheng is the county seat of Xiyang County, which is located in the middle of Xiyang County and close to Danshui. There are several docks that are the transportation hub leading to Nanyang Basin.
At dusk, Zhao Cijing, the prefect of Xiyang County, paced and thought about it. He looked a little worried. Sui Jun pushed into Wang Changhe and fought hard. After two or three days of killing, both sides suffered casualties
Two days ago, Wang Changxie handed it back to Junbao and reported the situation in detail. Wang Changxie said that Sui Jun is not terrible. He is confident that Sui Jun will be blocked in the south of Yangcheng!
Although Wang Changxie appears confident, Zhao Cijing feels that he is not optimistic. Although Sui Jun has not yet attacked Junyang, Sui Jun’s offensive is too fierce, which makes Zhao Cijing feel that the future is very slim. He is a royal family, or he will make a big mistake, and he will be rich in the future. He doesn’t want to make mistakes at this point.
Is Sui Jun’s attack on Xiyang County aimed at continuing to use force? If this is the case, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger. It’s really hard for people to fight endlessly. Zhao Cijing has sent a swift horse to send the news that the Sui army is coming to Chang ‘an. After receiving this news, it must be uncomfortable.
Zhao Cijing was right in thinking. The thyme express arrived in Chang ‘an two days ago. Taitai Li Jiancheng was shocked by the news and quickly rushed to the palace to tell his father Tang Yuan, who was dominated by Datang.
Tang gaozu was surprised to get the news. It seems that Sui Jun’s intention to attack Xiyang County is obvious. This is not to attack Wu, but to attack Wu! I’m afraid Sui Jun’s intention to attack Wu Sui Jun at this time is not so simple.
Tang gaozu believes that Yang You must have got the Liu Wuzhou South News Office at this time, and it is despicable to fish in troubled waters at this time! Tang gaozu is so sure because, after all, it has been two months since Yang Junnan’s decision.
Although he let the soldiers blocked the praise ramp, noon valley and other places, but the paper couldn’t contain fire, Sui Jun must have heard the wind. Sui Jun chose Wu instead of sending troops from Longxi. Is Sui Jun going to launch an offensive against Datang?
In the room, Li Yuantai and Li Jiancheng discussed it for a half-ring, and finally recognized that this was the Sui army’s diversion from the east to the west. Li Yuanwei always recognized that Li Daliang was always cautious. I am afraid it was to attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty. Once the Tang Dynasty put its troops into the battlefield because of the tight military war, Sui Jun in Longxi would raid Fufeng County from the earthquake and sweep the whole country.
At this time, Tuyuhun temporarily retreated from Linqiang City. It is said that Mu Fuyun was so sad that he had to bury his son first. Mu Fuyun retreated to Longxi Qu Tutong breathing room. According to reliable sources, the Sui army is building Linjin. This attitude shows that the West is the defender against Sui Dynasty. Once Linjin is repaired, Qu Tutong will have enough troops to attack! All this seems to be not alarmist Tang gaozu.
Yang You didn’t think that he simply wanted to attack Xiyang County to consolidate Xiangyang’s achievements, but Tang gaozu was so frightened that Tang gaozu finally decided to withdraw Xiyang County’s troops to avoid losses as much as possible. It still belongs to Datang’s own initiative.
Li Yuan didn’t know that great changes had taken place in Xiyang County when he made his decision. Zhao Cijing got a letter from the guard Junyang Wang Changxie. He said that Sui Jun had been tired because of continuous siege.
Although Sui Jun coach Han Shihe has a father’s reputation, he is a dude who doesn’t study Sui Jun. His generals are really a mistake. Sui Jun is already a spent force. If you try your best, Sui Jun will surely fail.
Zhao Cijing mused with a letter in his hand. He knew that Wang Changxie was a cautious man. Now he says that Sui Jun is exhausted, that is exhausted! Zhao Cijing always had an idea in his heart. He knew that when the Sui army broke Tang Jun, Yuezhang lost all his face. If he could win a great victory this time, he would win Yuezhang’s favor.
Many of Tang gaozu’s daughters are married to elder brothers. For example, Chai Shao married Princess Pingyang, lived and died, Duan Lun married Princess Dou Huairang of Gaomi, and married Princess Wan Chun, etc. Zhao Cijing is one of the sons-in-law, whose talent is better than that of Chai Shao’s family, and even Duan Lun’s identity is much higher than his.
Zhao Cijing is not an ordinary person. He won the favor of Li Yuan. Xiyang County painstakingly managed to collect refugees and open up wasteland, and achieved good results. Last year, he paid 100,000 yuan of grain to greatly alleviate the crisis of food shortage.
There is credit, but what is the biggest credit in troubled times? Naturally, the King of Qin defeated the Emperor Xue Renguo of the Western Qin Dynasty, and he got a reward from the natural strategy. Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and others also rose to the top of their ranks and promoted their ranks.
Zhao Cijing was full of longing for this, but he knew that he had a few catties and two ounces of politics and could still March and fight, but at this time, a delicious piece of shredded pork and egg Hu cake was placed in front of him, and Zhao Cijing had no reason to refuse.
