Life Winner Training Guide

. The rest of the people, including Zhou Jilun, all moved to the mountains in the distance. Because You Hongyin specifically instructed that this strategy should not be disclosed to anyone except the soldiers who were on the task of digging the dam, Xifan's spies followed the large army up the mountain in such confusion without sending any useful information. Going out caused Yingcheng to completely lose the opportunity to discover the crisis.

In about half a month, the coalition forces would arrive. At dawn, Zhou Jilun sat on the mountain and watched the torrential floods. He was very happy and felt that his father would definitely reward him well this time. He was happy, and even better for Xu Dali who offered his strategy: "Dali, this strategy is good. I want to promote you directly to the deputy captain of my personal guard. When you return to Bianliang in the future, I will apply for you." I will be granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth-Rank Imperial Guard. Don’t worry, I will definitely take credit for this achievement from my father.”

In the face of the high official's high salary and the truth, Xu Dali chose the high official's high salary.

He thought, since Yun Xiaozi has said it anyway, there is no need to tell other people about it. Moreover, this strategy was not thought up by Yun Xiaozi himself, but only read from a book. Doing so does not count as appropriating Yun Xiaozi's credit. In the future, he I will definitely take good care of this young junior like him.

Not everyone will give up the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, at least not many Dali. He once felt that Zhou Jilun was not a good master, but now he felt that following this prince, oh no, general, was quite good.

Chapter 35 It’s hard to cross the mountain (6)

Although this plan greatly damaged the vitality of Yingcheng, due to the long-term construction of Yingcheng, the solid city wall did not collapse under the impact of the flood, but still stood firmly in place. The first wave of the flood was so powerful that it destroyed the city wall, and the remaining aftermath could not be destroyed. Slowly, the water surged back and forth around it, and finally calmed down.

Outside Yingcheng, there is a vast ocean.

The flood destroyed all obstacles along the way, and there were many debris, broken branches of trees and even corpses floating on the water.

In Yingcheng, the water is also growing. The water outside the city slowly penetrates through various gaps and seeps into the city. The water is almost up to a person's waist, leaving people in the city without a place to live. Many people had to stack their furniture high, and their families spent the day squatting on the furniture.

"General," the deputy said anxiously, "what should we do now?"

Guan Chong was silent.

The deputy couldn't help crying, sniffed his nose, wiped his tears, and barely calmed himself down before saying: "It may take months for the flood to recede. We can't afford to wait. Now all the supplies in the city are soaked in water." Here, a lot of food is inedible, water sources are flooded, we cannot get clean drinking water, and firewood is completely unavailable. Many people in the city are injured or even sick. If no decision is made, Yingcheng may not be able to survive. "

Guan Chong said: "There is no need for Yingcheng to be unable to support itself. In a few days, if Li Rui is not stupid, he will lead his troops in."

The deputy was a little confused about this: "How can they fight? The 20,000 people I observed in Southern Zhou have no boats at all. The flood is still there, so they should not be able to get through."

Guan Chong said: "They are now entrenched in the high mountains, where there are many trees. They can make rafts and boats without spending much effort. In a few days, the foundation of the city wall of Yingcheng will be soaked and the surrounding defense capacity will be almost zero. If they don't fight now, are they going to wait for the flood to recede and let me linger in Yingcheng to look for opportunities to fight back? "

The deputy had a vague premonition, and sure enough, Guan Chong said: "Order the whole city to use wooden materials to build rafts, and we will evacuate Yingcheng in three days."

The deputy was too anxious to speak.

Guan Chong gritted his teeth: "Whether it is military rations or ships, it will definitely not be enough for the entire city to evacuate. Here, I order the entire Yingcheng Guards to abandon the city and go straight to Feiyuan Pass!"

"No, General, you can't do this!" the deputy said anxiously, "If you do this, what will the hundreds of thousands of people in the city do?"

Guan Chong said: "Instead of following us and fleeing for our lives, it is better to surrender to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Their people in the Southern Zhou Dynasty value their reputation and will not kill prisoners indiscriminately."

"Even so," the deputy said, "general, do you want to die? If you do this, the king will definitely not let you go when you return to the capital."

"So what, the war is about to begin. If we don't preserve the effectiveness of our Western Vatican Army, I'm afraid that before the Lord of the country can convict him, the Golden Palace will have become a record on other countries' merit monuments." Guan Chong said: "Committing a crime For such a sin, if you want to go to the eighteenth level of hell, you are willing to do so."

"General!" the deputy cried bitterly, and after a long time he responded: "I obey the order."

And indeed, as Guan Chong said, Li Rui finally couldn't lie down anymore and took over some subsequent matters. Zhou Jilun, on the other hand, felt that the biggest credit must be his own, so he had to give others some soup, so he turned a blind eye and let Li Rui grab some of the credit.

After hearing about this, You Hongyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take the next step.

His main purpose of setting up the water attack was to prevent Zhou Jilun from causing chaos, but there were also some additional purposes.

The first is to test the true ability of General Xifan. This kind of conspiracy is unexpected and cuts off people's escape. You Hongyin wants to see how Xifan's generals will choose and find out the other party's way of thinking, so that he can target key figures in a targeted manner. Only through analysis can he respond better. After all, he is now from the Southern Zhou Dynasty and has a natural hostile relationship with Xi Fan.

Second, Li Rui could no longer play dumb. Southern Zhou still wanted the territory of Xifan, so it could not use too drastic means when attacking, because too drastic means would cause strong hatred among the people, and this emotion would greatly affect the future rule. If all the people were killed, then these territories would lose their original meaning. Therefore, Li Rui, the cunning fox who pretended to be confused, could only come forward to clean up the mess. Only when Li Rui, a person with a normal brain circuit, came forward to command, would You Hongyin really show himself.

You Hongyin really didn't want to deal with Zhou Jilun. This kind of person's way of thinking deviated too much from his, and he couldn't guess what this person would do next. He was not afraid of others' intelligence, dangerous situations, or too small space for his own display, but he hated most that something was beyond his control.

Soon, under Li Rui's organization, it took about four or five days for the soldiers of Southern Zhou to use local materials to make a lot of ship valves, or simply wade through the water to attack the flooded Yingcheng with all their strength.

Then, after pushing down the water-soaked city wall that looked like tofu, the Nan Zhou team did not encounter any resistance from the Xifan guards.

The flood flowed in the streets and alleys, and there were many miscellaneous livestock on the water, while the people in the city sat on the roofs of the houses with despair and numbness on their faces, staring at the invaders who broke in with dull eyes.

Li Rui was stunned.

Although he thought that the resistance in the city would not be too strong, he did not expect that the army of Yingcheng would abandon the city and flee. He had fought for so many years, and for the first time he did not know how to deal with it.

You Hongyin sat on the boat valve and sighed in his heart. The reputation of Xifan's housekeeper was well-deserved. Guan Chong made a prompt decision and was so ruthless that he cut off one of his arms. It seemed that he fled in a panic, but in fact he left a big burden to Nan Zhou, forcing the people of Nan Zhou to reorganize Yingcheng, and they had no time and energy to pursue the enemy.

Moreover, with this retreat, the flood in Yingcheng became an obstacle on the road of the coalition's attack. At least before the flood receded, the coalition could not attack Feiyuan Pass, but it bought more than a month for Xifan.

You Hongyin carefully observed Li Rui's expression and found that this person had never encountered such a situation before, and he didn't know what to do at this moment. He signaled Zheng Shu, who was rowing the boat, to row the boat to Li Rui's side and start his original plan.

Soon, You Hongyin was promoted to the commander of the thousand-man army, directly commanding their army and began to deal with the follow-up matters in Yingcheng. think. rabbit. exist. String. read. read.

The biggest problem now is the food problem. But fortunately, when Guan Chong led the army to withdraw to Feiyuan Pass, transportation was inconvenient, and not much food was taken away, and the rest was still soaked in water. You Hongyin asked some soldiers to use boats and rafts to salvage the food and dead livestock in the water and transport them back to the camp on the mountain, and told the cooks that these foods must be washed with clean water, and then boiled in boiling water, and must not be eaten raw. The problem of food was mostly solved.

Then there were the people trapped here. There were too many people, and most of them were emotionally agitated and hostile to the Southern Zhou. In this case, they were unable to fight back, but they couldn't keep everyone trapped on the roof. You Hongyin invited many soldiers with good eloquence and quick response, memorized the speeches, scattered all over the city to appease and persuade, and selected those who slowly accepted the rule of Southern Zhou, transported them back to the camp, and then let these people continue to cut wood and build ships, or do other work in exchange for food to survive. As people continued to waver, they were constantly taken out of trouble. In addition, a few special thorns were chopped off. This method of appeasement and differentiation in batches was very effective in this era of deep slavery. Moreover, they had no water and food, and faced difficulties all the time. Those ordinary people could not hold on for too long. Sure enough, under the threat of death, the people in the city quickly succumbed.

After these two major problems were solved, it was to clean up various corpses in the water to prevent the outbreak of epidemics. Many of these corpses were relatives of the people in the city. With the active participation of the people in the salvage, there would be no shortage of manpower. Slowly, although the water in Yingcheng had not receded, it was gradually cleaned up.

To be honest, this process seems simple, but it does test You Hongyin's abilities in all aspects. His airborne position as a thousand-man commander made many people dissatisfied. He suppressed some of them with force before he could barely command this team. Later, he frequently demonstrated his forward-looking vision, superb internal affairs management methods and excellent organizational skills during the command process, and finally slowly and completely subdued those dissatisfied people.

In fact, real soldiers and generals understand that fighting is not just about military strength, but also about strategies and logistics. You Hongyin has outstanding abilities in all aspects. Being a thousand-man commander is a blessing for their army, and Li Rui also thinks that You Hongyin is a very good deputy.

Salvage food and other supplies, clean up the bodies in the water, because all food and water need to be boiled before they can be eaten, the firewood required is very large, and it takes a lot of manpower to cut wood. You Hongyin tried to find more things to arrange for the people of Yingcheng to do, and the daily food supply was also limited to prevent riots. However, several incidents still occurred before the Qi-Zhou coalition arrived. All these people were beheaded, and before each execution, it was necessary to let others watch and speak out against the rioters. At the same time, he also arranged for many pro-Zhou Xifan people to continue to spread some remarks, creating an atmosphere that it was good to accept the rule of Southern Zhou, because people have a herd mentality.

This mode of domestication has penetrated into the daily lives of all the people living in Yingcheng, and the effect is very fast. When the main army of Southern Zhou arrived in Yingcheng, there were not many unruly people.

And Yan Xingyun, who had been silent for a long time and had never shown his face, finally spoke: "You are more cold-blooded than me."

"Oh?" You Hongyin said: "Really?"

"I don't care about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people at all." Yan Xingyun said: "No wonder, I guess life and death are common in the underworld, you are used to it."

You Hongyin chuckled: "What about you, how did you do in this situation?"

"I," Yan Xingyun said proudly: "I assassinated Zhou Jilun. Commander Li Rui is actually the man of Prince Duan. He was born in the Duan Camp. Later, when his position was promoted, he led this army alone. Naturally, he would not Foolishly, he led everyone to attack the city and die. "

"Oh, what happened later?"

"Later, the old thief Prince Rui came with a large army, kept talking about other people, and imposed charges on Commander Li. Li Rui was imprisoned and accused of treason." Yan Xingyun was angry: "I have clearly found a lot of evidence to prove that it was the assassin sent by Xifan. Why, why did they impose all the charges on Li Rui!"

You Hongyin couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said with a restrained temper: "Then how did you die later?"

Yan Xingyun calmed down: "Later, the Southern Zhou side ignored the opposition of the Great Qi and attacked Yingcheng alone
