Chapter 783 The Battle of Jingzhou City Part [-]
Boom boom boom! ! ! ! !

Thunder and lightning.

Another heavy rain poured down, the raindrops were as big as a little finger, and then fell continuously, washing the ground inside and outside the city, and it rained heavily for several days in a row.

Under such circumstances, forcibly fighting would undoubtedly increase casualties, so the Yizhou Army immediately withdrew its troops and returned to the camp, giving up the attack on the city wall.

The Jingzhou army also restrained its defensive fortifications a little.

Jingzhou City ushered in a short war-free period.

"This year's rainy season is much more ferocious than last year!"

Standing under the wall at the top of the city, looking at the rainwater flowing down from the eaves, both Cai Mao and Zhang Yun looked heavy.

They are located in Jingzhou, and they are not immune to the troubles of the river.

Although the flood in Jiangdong is even worse.

But Jingzhou has also been shrouded in floods for many years, especially the location of Jingzhou city itself is not high, and it is still at the intersection of rivers and rivers.

"If the floods are raging, we Jingzhou City will bear the brunt!"

Cai Mao said softly.

"The Yangtze River has started to rise, and it's rising rapidly!" Zhang Yun said in a low voice, "However, the side of the Han River is still stable, and it is still stable at present. The location of Jingzhou City is usually easy to defend and difficult to attack, but It's at the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River, and it's all downstream, once the river surges and the river is raging, I'm afraid there's no need to guard it!"

"and many more!"

Cai Mao suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Zhang Yun, and asked, "You said the Han River is stable?"

"Yup!"

Zhang Yun nodded: "I asked the scouts to check the location of the river this morning. The Yangtze River is in high tide, but the Han River may have diverged from the upper branch for several sections because of the slow flow, but the water level did not continue to rise. !"

"wrong!"

Cai Mao said gloomyly: "When it rained before, the water swelled, but now it's raining harder than before. It's impossible that the water level didn't rise at all. Send someone to check!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yun also noticed the problem, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

In the evening, news from the scouts came back.

"Grand Governor, the river has not only not risen, but has also dropped a little. Although it is not much, this situation is impossible. Now it is a time of heavy rain. It is raining heavily and the water level is high. How can this happen! "In the hall of the county government office in the city, Zhang Yun's face was gloomy, and he couldn't believe it.

"The only possibility..."

Cai Hao sat on his knees beside him, his pupils glowed brightly, and he said in a gloomy voice, "Someone is storing water upstream!"

"Water storage?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun clenched his fists tightly, and said with righteous indignation: "How dare they do this, they are simply insane!"

"Governor, someone is asking to see you outside!"

At this time, a guard suddenly walked in and reported, "He is holding the token of the State Shepherd's Mansion!"

"pass!"

A young man walked in, his body was in a mess, he obviously rolled out of the mud, his head was covered with muddy water, and his whole body was drenched: "Little General Liu Hu, the secret guard of the State Shepherd's Mansion, pay my respects to the Governor!"

"Dark guards?" Cai Mao did know that when Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, there were a group of scouts, and they were all his fellow countrymen, scattered all over the place to collect information for him: "What's the matter?"

"Governor, this is news from the Yizhou military camp!"

Liu Hu handed over the bamboo tube in his hand.

Cai Mao opened it, glanced at it, and felt a chill in his heart: "What a cruel heart!"

"what happened?"

Zhang Yun leaned over, and when he saw it, his face turned pale: "How dare they store water to flood the city?"

....................................

Mujing has been very laid-back recently.

Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and if you don't do it, you are right, so he will be safe and secure as a hostage.

It's just that if he wants to be safe, he may not be able to achieve his wish.

"My lord, someone wants to see you!" Zhuge Xuan opened the door curtain, walked in, and said with cupped hands.

"Who is it?" Mu Jing is currently studying "Warring States Policy". This book is extensive and profound, and his comprehension ability is somewhat obscure, so he has been studying recently when he heard Zhuge Xuan's words, Wei Wei raised her head and asked.

"Zhang Ren!"

"he?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, put away the book in his hand, and said, "Please come in!"

"promise!"

Zhuge Xuan went out and soon welcomed Zhang Ren in.

In fact, he is now in the camp of the Yizhou Army. If Zhang Ren wants to see him, it is absolutely no problem to break in. Such a lawsuit has been brought before Liu Yan. Liu Yan is protecting his shortcomings, so he can only let it go .

But Zhang Ren follows the rules, which shows his quality. This is a man who abides by the rules, but he is persistent.

I'm afraid of this kind of person.

He won't make mistakes, but as long as he insists on doing something, he will do it to the end. He can stare at you hard, but makes you helpless.

"Zhang Ren met Marquis Ming!" Zhang Ren saluted. Although the etiquette was simple, it was considered polite. Although Mu Jing was a first-rank marquis in the imperial court, he was not in the same system as him, and it didn't matter if he didn't respect him.

"General Zhang is free today!"

Mu Jing stretched out his hand with a smile, and made an inviting gesture: "Please sit down!"

"I won't sit down anymore!" Zhang Ren said indifferently: "I came today to ask Minghou one thing!"

"General Zhang is polite, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Abandon the plan to flood Jingzhou City!"

Zhang Ren said in a word.

"I don't quite understand what you said!" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes. Zhang Ren's sense of touch was keen. Although he intended to condone the leak of news, if he could find his door so quickly, then it wouldn't matter. easy.

"Minghou, we know very well, why bother to say such things!" Zhang Ren stared at Mu Jing, and said, "Even if you let Xi Zhicai lead the Mu army to store water upstream, even if you can hide it from the scouts in Jingzhou City, I can't hide it from the scouts of the Dongzhou Army!"

He kept a close eye on Mu Jun, so he couldn't hide any movement of Mu Jun, especially Liu Yan had other uses for Mu Jun, so he was even more nervous, so as long as he probed, he would know what Mu Jun was doing.

This matter made him, a general who has fought in the battlefield for several years, a little terrified.

"You shouldn't be looking for me about this!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "I have already handed over the military power. If the lord nods on this matter, Xi Zhicai will not dare to mess around. If you want to look for it, you should also look for the lord. Look for Xi Zhicai. What I am receiving now is The position of the chief secretary in the army is responsible for the logistics of the march, so I don't blame me for this matter!"

Liu Yan put him in the battalion for a purpose. He appointed him as the director of the Xingyuan, responsible for the supervision of the logistics battalion. No matter how courageous Liu Yan was, he would not let Hou Qing transport the state army.

"Minghou, can you hide from the lord, can you hide from me?" Zhang Ren said coldly: "If Xi Zhicai hadn't been ordered by you, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"

"It seems that the general is determined, this matter is my plan!"

Mu Jing looked at Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren's keen response and his firm persistence were all a kind of personality charm. It was not unreasonable for him to become one of the main generals of the Yizhou Army.

"Minghou, do you know that when the flood floods, how many lonely souls will there be?" Zhang Ren asked through gritted teeth.

"Of course I know!"

Mu Jing shrugged his shoulders, he did not deny that this was his guidance, pretending to be ignorant in front of a well-informed person is really ignorant, he asked calmly: "But General Zhang, do you have any clues?" A strategy for the city?"

"Although a certain has no good plan, he will not commit crimes to this point!"

Zhang Ren is very disdainful of such behavior. He fights on the battlefield without fear of life and death. Even if he is killed in a sea of ​​blood and swords, it doesn't matter. But this strategy can make hundreds of thousands of innocent people buried in the flood, which is a crime.

"This matter was promised by the lord. I am not lying about this. If the lord did not agree, no one would dare to do it!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "If you don't want to, you can go to the lord!"

"That's why I came to ask Minghou!"

Zhang Ren said coldly.

He knew that he couldn't convince Liu Yan, so he went to Mujing.

"Minghou is young and young, with a bright future, why fight for this, and commit such crimes, aren't you afraid that in the future, innocent souls will beg for their lives every night!" Zhang Ren's eyes were as bright as a torch, staring at Mujing's expression, wanting to see through mind.

"What can I help you?" Mu Jing looked at Zhang Ren with calm eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Wait, don't break the embankment at any time!" Zhang Ren said: "I will break the city as soon as possible, so that I won't do this trick. We marchers, casualties on the battlefield are just as they should be, and Jingzhou City cannot be counted. Hundreds of thousands of people will be buried with them!"
