Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Just when Yuan Shao and Cao Ang went to war, Jingzhou and Guiyang.

Sun Ce and Huang Zu are still arguing here every day.

Since Wenpin's reinforcements were ambushed by Zhou Yu and suffered heavy losses, Liu Biao has not sent any reinforcements.

After all, Liu Biao knew that the food reserves in Guiyang City were enough to feed the soldiers defending the city for a year and a half.

Therefore, Liu Biao directly sent someone to send a secret letter to Huang Zu. The content of the letter was also very simple, that is, he could not hold on.

Huang Zu naturally knew that he was no match for Sun Ce, so he was happy to hold on.

Sun Ce was sitting opposite Zhou Yu in the tent.

At this time, Sun Ce looked a little helpless: "This Huang Zu has been unable to hold out. It is difficult to break the city."

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this. He knew that if Guiyang City wanted to be attacked by force, even if it could be captured, Jiangdong Army would suffer heavy losses.

The Sun family has just begun to rise. If it suffers heavy losses because of Guiyang City, it will really be more than worth the gain.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, I want to withdraw our troops. Guiyang City has been unable to be captured for a long time, and there is no point in spending it. It's better to withdraw our troops and go north to support my father."

Sun Ce thought that he would withdraw his troops and go north, and after joining forces with his father, he should be able to drive Lu Bu out of Danyang County.

After Zhou Yu listened to Sun Ce's words, he did not respond directly to Sun Ce. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Bo Fu, this time the attack on Guiyang failed, are you willing to return without success?"

Sun Ce shook his head when he heard this: "Of course I am unwilling, but I have nothing to do. There is enough food and grass in Guiyang City. If I spend three to five years here with it, I am afraid Yangzhou will be in chaos. ah."

Thinking of the faces of the wealthy families in Yangzhou, Sun Ce felt depressed.

When Zhou Yu saw this, he smiled and said comfortingly: "Bo Fu, there is no need to be so upset. The mountain people have their own clever plan to defeat Guiyang City."

Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, and then said happily: "Gong Jin, do you have a plan to defeat Guiyang City?"

"This is natural." Zhou Yu smiled proudly.

"What's the plan? Tell me quickly!" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with excitement. If he could conquer Guiyang City, he would have his own territory in Jingzhou!
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's appearance, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Bo Fu, why are you in such a hurry? My strategy is actually very simple. It is to cut off the water and the source."

"Cut off the water and the source?" Sun Ce repeated in confusion.

Zhou Yu stopped talking nonsense at this time and directly pulled Sun Ce to the map.

"Bo Fu, you see, there is a small river that crosses Guiyang City. All the water in the city comes from this small river. As long as we send people to block it upstream and force it to change its flow, then it will be gone. It is only a matter of time before Kaicheng surrenders to Guiyang City."

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but smacked his lips: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Sun Ce agreed to Zhou Yu's plan without even thinking about it.

Later, Sun Ce called Gan Ning over and asked him to lead his troops to divert the river course and cut off the water source in Guiyang City.

After Gan Ning learned of his mission, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "With this blockage of the river, will there be no water in Guiyang City? Is there no well in the city?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both laughed when they heard Gan Ning's question.

Sun Ce actually had this question at the beginning, but he soon figured it out on his own.

And Zhou Yu was the one who proposed this strategy, so of course he would take the well into consideration.

I saw Zhou Yu smiling and saying to Gan Ning: "Xingba, if there was such a small river in front of your house where you lived, would you still waste time and effort to dig such a well?"

"It... doesn't seem possible." Gan Ning scratched his head in embarrassment: "Then I will go." After saying this, Gan Ning hurriedly led people to carry out the mission. He did not want to continue to embarrass himself in front of Zhou Yu. .

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, confident.

I dare not say that there is not even one well in Guiyang City, but there are not too many. For the defenders in the city, the water from these wells is just a drop in the bucket.

Just change the flow of the river and cut off the water in Guiyang City, and then send people every day to persuade Kaicheng to surrender.

It won't be long before Guiyang City can be taken down without any bloodshed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's face showed a proud look.

He already knew that Cao Ang was blocked from attacking Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north.

Is Cao Ang's army still confronting Yuan Shao under Weijun City? On his side, Guiyang City is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was very proud. Comparing the situations faced by himself and Cao Ang, wouldn't it be a judgment call?

The soldiers in Guiyang City have been in panic for a year. If the water source is cut off at this time, they who are already unable to hold on will probably surrender directly.

……

Xiliang.

Li Jue and Guo Si.

Years ago, they had bowed their heads to Ma Teng and Han Sui. They had no choice but to starve to death if they didn't bow their heads.

Almost all of the troops in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si had been mobilized by Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Now the two men only have more than [-] old and weak soldiers left.

Even Liu Xie was sent to Wuwei and was assisted by Ma Teng and Han Sui.

When the news about Liu Bian's change of reign name reached Xiliang, Ma Teng was so angry that he cursed.

"What a treacherous Cao Cao. After changing the year, doesn't this mean that Liu Xie is a false emperor, and even his previous title has been banned?"

When Han Sui heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't be impatient. Liu Xie, the young emperor, did nothing wrong. So to abolish it directly is against the rules and etiquette."

"Let's just say that Liu Xie is the orthodox one and Liu Bian is the treasonous one. We can still recruit people."

At this point, Han Sui smiled proudly.

After the two of them forced Li Jue and Guo Si to bow their heads, they transferred their troops.

At this time, the two of them had about 12 soldiers who could go to the battlefield.

In addition, Cao Ang told them before that they would have a decisive battle after the autumn harvest, but there was no movement from Cao Ang.

It wasn't until Cao Ang attacked Yuan Shao later that year that they woke up.

It turns out that Cao Ang's talk of a decisive battle after the autumn harvest was just to scare people!
The two people who wanted to understand were somewhat eager to try and take the initiative.

However, Zhang Liao led his troops to guard the pass. For a while, they had no chance of leaving Xiliang and attacking Sizhou. (End of chapter)
