The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 272: Public enmity claims to divert water to flood the city

Xun Zhen said, "What else can you do? Come on."

"Jiujiang is narrow and difficult to turn around. If you want to settle Jiujiang, you must first seek Fuling."

Liu Ye's words touched Xun Zhen's heart.

Xun Zhen calmly said, "There is a minister in Fuling, how do you find it?"

"The people of Ye Fuling know the prime minister of Fuling. Although this person has been famous in Jing and Yang for a long time, he is an incompetent disciple. Ye is willing to send Fuling to speak about it for the general of Ming Dynasty, and let him resign himself. Wait for his speech, Fuling. You can get it with the palm of your hand."

Xun Zhen was overjoyed and said, "If you can accomplish this, you will settle Jiujiang, and you will take the lead."

Xun Zhen believed in Liu Ye's ability and knew that since he could say this, he must have a certain degree of certainty, so he did not ask Liu Ye how he planned to persuade Fuling Xiang Hangyin to resign, but it was nothing more than coercion and inducement.

Liu Ye added: "Chaohu has Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, and Xu Gan, each of whom owns his own scriptures and is located in a fertile area, especially Bao, who is the most shrewd, talented and powerful, and one side is afraid of, the lightness between Fuling and Lujiang. Xia, cunning and Jie rely on it. If it can be used, it can not only secure the southern boundary of Fuling, but also can drive Chen Yangzhou away, and help the general to raise boats. The general goes and talks about it, and makes it come to cast."

Chaohu Lake is located at the junction of Fuling and Lujiang River. It covers a wide area and spans two counties. From Chaohu Lake to the east, more than a hundred miles away is Zhiliyang, Yangzhou Prefecture, where Chen Wen is located. Zheng Bao and others are well-known tyrants in the Fuling and Lujiang areas. Since the wars at home and abroad, they have each supported their tribes and gathered in Chaohu Lake. Wen's bargaining chip, at the same time, Zheng Bao and others are entrenched in the lake area, and there must be many people who can handle boats, fine/water, and can fight in water, which will also be conducive to the establishment of boat masters.

Xun Zhen was very happy and said with a smile: "In the past, Guangwu was in Ji, referring to Geng Yin's saying, 'This is my master of the North Dao', and now you are the master of my South Dao."

Liu Ye said: "Forty-six Geng Ping County, 300 slaughtered cities, no setbacks, a genius in the world, how can Ye dare to compare? I would like to take a county as capital for Deng Chen and General Ming."

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "Good! Good!"

Emperor Guangwu said to Geng Yan "the master of the North Road", and he also said similar things to Deng Chen.

Deng Chen and Guangwu are in the same county and are Guangwu's brother-in-law. Wang Lang rebelled. Guangwu went to Xindu from Ji. Deng Chen was the prefect of Changshan. After hearing the news, he left the county and traveled to Julu. , Guangwu said to him: "If you follow me with one body, it is better to take one county as the master of my northern road." He sent him back to the county. Deng Chen returned to the county, sent thousands of fighters to Guangwu, and sent the commission to lose to the army. In the fourth year of Jianwu, Deng Chen "stayed in Jiujiang" from Guangwu to Shouchun and stayed in Jiujiang for a period of time. Geng Bi is from Jizhou, and Liu Ye is from Yangzhou. Xun Zhen compares Geng Bi to Liu Ye because they are both "locals" in common. Liu Ye compares Deng Chen to himself and wishes to Ru Deng Chen's "use of one county as the general's capital", coupled with Deng Chen's stay in Jiujiang later, is also quite a scene.

Liu Ye offered the three strategies of allying Wujun, Shoufuling and Zhaochaohu. If these three strategies were successful, not only would Jiujiang be settled, but it would not only be able to completely compete with Chen Wen, but also greatly expand Xunzhen's strength in Yangzhou. , to increase his influence in Yangzhou.

After Liu Ye's proposal was completed, he retired and went to the court. Xun Zhen summoned Xun Chen to see him immediately. Thinking that he had just left the house, he should have just arrived at the house at this time. Go to Wutong and meet him face to face. In the note, Xun Zhen briefly outlined Liu Ye's three strategies, and asked Xun Chen to cooperate with him.

The next day, Xunzhen summoned Zhang Zhao to tell the truth about the embarrassment of "the court worshiping Zhao Yu and Chen Guo's prime minister", and asked him to investigate Zhao Yu's words.

Zhang Zhao said: "I know very well about Zhao Yuanda's people. They are pure and righteous, noble and abide by propriety, and they are loyal and upright. Since then, the county has been honored with filial piety and honesty, and Yuan Da has been pleased to take office in addition to being the head of the imperial court. If he were to go to Chen State, it would be difficult for General Ming to persuade him.

Xun Zhen heard this, so she stopped begging him. Although she felt that she had lost something, she did not change her expression. Instead, she praised the friendship between Zhang Zhao and Zhao Yu, and said, "You are dear to you, and you can be friends with you." He said again, "" The three friends of the beneficiary, the public and the other, can be described as 'friends straight'."

I couldn't convince Zhao Yu, I had no choice but to send a letter to Sun Jian.

Time was running out. First, Chen Guo could be breached at any time. Second, Xun Zhen couldn’t drag Zhao Yu for too long. Therefore, he wrote a letter to Sun Jian on the same day, explaining what he had thought before in the letter, and sent him away. People rushed to send it to Sun Jian immediately.

Although it was expedited, it was more than 600 li from Tanxian County to Chen Country. When the letter arrived, it was three days later.

At this time, Yu County of the Chen State was all under its control, and Chen County, the capital of the independent country, was still fighting to the death.

The troops Liu Chong and Luo Jun arranged outside the city had been defeated by Sun Jian's troops, the moat had been filled by Sun Jian's troops, and several sections of the outer wall had been destroyed. The barrier, and a wide and deep trench was dug behind the barrier, and the resistance was very tenacious. However, whether it is the attacking side or the defending side, everyone knows that the city will be destroyed sooner or later.

Sun Jian's troops were encircling the outskirts of Chen County, encircling Chen County tightly.

The casualties in the city were very large, and the casualties of Sun Jian's troops were not small. The city walls were stained with blood, and there were corpses and stumps all over the city. Sun Jian has experienced hundreds of battles since he started to attack the Yellow Turbans. He had only encountered such cruel battles when he was fighting against Dong Zhuo's elite.

Among the ministries, Sun Hao and Han Dang suffered the heaviest losses.

Sun Hao was the eldest son of Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing. He fought against Sun Jian for a long time. He resented Liu Chong and Luo Jun's unyielding defense, which caused many casualties in his troops. Chen Ren is hard to use for his uncle. Once the city is defeated, he should be slaughtered. Sun Jian agrees. He is ready to slaughter the city. At this time, he received a letter from Xun Zhen.

After reading the letter, Sun Jian summoned Gong Qiucheng, Zhu Zhi and others to discuss with them.

Sun Jian first showed them the letter, and then said: "In the letter of Zhenzhi, Zhao Yuanda is loyal and unyielding. If he takes office, he may not obey me. It is suggested that I should keep Luo Jun in the Chen state. What do you think? "

Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "According to the meaning of Xunhou Xinli, this Zhao Yuanda is another Luo Jun. If this is the case, he must not be allowed to take office, but Luo Jun resists stubbornly, even if he takes his life after capturing the city, I'm afraid he won't succumb to the general."

Sun Jian's sword was on the table, he picked up the sword, pulled it out of its scabbard, danced two sword flowers, put it back into the scabbard, touched the hilt of the sword and said, "If everything in the world can be done like this, Sure, how happy it will be!"

Everything in the world cannot be settled with swords. For a true scholar like Luo Jun, it is useless to use force as a threat.

Gong Chou said: "The king's life is far away in Chang'an, what is the relationship with General Ming? You can first recruit Luo Jun, if he refuses to obey, General Ming can choose any Chen Prime Minister, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Zhao Yuanda Tathagata, refused Accept it. Wouldn't Marquis Xun have made an army with General Ming because of this?"

Zhu Zhi said: "The truth is this truth, but there are already people in Yuzhou, counties and scholars who refuse to obey the general. Zhao Yuanda has an edict. If the general refuses again, there will be more people in the state who refuse to obey." But the heart of taxis in the state cannot be ignored.

Sun Jian thought about it for a while, and decided to act according to his public hatred. He said, "When Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he was a gentleman. What was the result? The Yellow Turbans, from the old chariot and cavalry general Zhang Gong, also asked Liangzhou Bianzhang, Han Sui, attacked Dong, and fought in Luoyang. I have seen many scholars in the sea. There are many people who are not real, and those who are really talented are rare, and nine out of ten are incompetent. If you are willing to surrender to me, I will still use him as the prime minister of the state of Chen. If you don’t want to, send him back to your hometown. Another chancellor of Chen State to stop Zhao Yuanda from coming."

Xun Zhen had asked him several times in previous letters not to kill Luo Jun after the city was broken. Sun Jian could still do this for Xun Zhen.

He asked Gong Chou, "How about the diversion canal and water affairs?"

Chen County is near the Langdang Canal. Seeing that the city of Chen County cannot be attacked for a long time, the public enmity claims to offer a plan. It is suggested that the canal can be used to irrigate the city, and the method of attacking it with water. Sun Jian adopted his strategy and left the digging of ditches and diverting water to him in charge.

Gong Chou replied, "A total of four trenches have been dug, and all of them are already under the city, and the city can be flooded with water at the latest the day after tomorrow."

Sun Jian nodded and issued a military order: "Order all the troops to prepare for the battle, wait for the flood to flood the city, and then attack together!"
