Back to the Three Kingdoms to be the Lord

This was originally an unknown town, with a usual population of only a few thousand people.

But when there were more than 6 Liaodong Army and nearly 8 people from the four tribes of the Wuhuan Army attacked and defended here, this small town became unusually important, and its military value suddenly rose to the highest point. If half of Liaodong County is lost, the Liaodong Army can only withdraw to defend the city near Xi'anping.

A few miles behind the town, there is an official road passing through the rolling mountain peaks, the terrain is very dangerous.This is the only way from West Liao to Zhongliao, and then to Xi'an Ping, and it is also the first barrier of Xi'an Ping.

Previously, there were no fortifications built outside the town. It was not until after Wuhuan invaded Liaodong that Gongsundu ordered people to build an earthen fence that was tens of miles long and several miles wide. It was about five feet high and three feet wide. .In front of the enclosure is a moat that has just been excavated, and a stream upstream is introduced into the moat to become a temporary moat.

After more than a month of construction, this enclosure has become an important place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This enclosure was called an earthen city by Gongsun Kang. Although it was not strong, the moat tens of feet wide in front of the enclosure prevented the Wuhuan soldiers from attacking.Gongsun Kang was very proud of the potholes in the river, and the soil was soaked in water and it was impossible to ford at all.

"Seeing that many Wuhuan people fell into the river on horseback, Kang felt very refreshed. This is due to the wisdom of the two adults. This soil enclosure is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. For the Wuhuan people who are not good at attacking the city Speaking of it, it’s almost like a moat.”

Gongsun Kang stood on the wall of the enclosure and said to Liu Yi and Yang Yi with a smile.The two of them are important staff of Gongsun Du. When Gongsun Du decided to use troops against Le Lang, Dai Fang, and Ma Bian, he left these two close staff to Gongsun Kang to assist him, and told him to listen carefully to the words of the two senior officials.

In fact, Liu Yi is the real commander in charge of the Tucheng defense battle.

Liu Yi carefully watched the Wuhuan soldiers on the other side for a while, but he was not too optimistic, "It's a pity that the weather is cold. If the river freezes, the defensive effect of this moat will be greatly reduced. We should be careful."

But Yang Yi said seriously: "I heard that Zheng Yu's reinforcements have arrived, we should deal with it seriously. He is a hero in the world, and even Lord Hou praised the battle he fought in Guanzhong, saying that if Zheng Xiaoyun really participated in the siege , it will be difficult for us to defend Tucheng, unless the Hedong army can return in time, we should prepare to evacuate."

Gongsun Kang thought that Gongsun Xu was burnt to disgrace at Bailangtan, and lost his five thousand paces, and he felt very resentful towards Zheng Yu in his heart. At this moment, he said with a cold face: "It's just someone else's exaggeration. That's all, it's a pity that Master Yuwen hasn't moved yet, and I don't know what they are doing. If they can stab the Wuhuan soldiers from the side and back before the main force of Zheng Yu's reinforcements arrives, I think Wu Da, Lou Shan and Su Pu I don’t even know how Yan’s bastards will die.”

It turned out that Gongsun Du had reached a secret agreement with the Yuwen Mohuai and Suli tribes of Xianbei in the east. Yuwen Mohuai mainly attacked the Wuhuan tribes from the northwest to the southeast side, and Suli went south to attack Liucheng to contain Zheng Yu's Chishan Wuhuan. .In this battle, they are determined to win.

Initially, after analyzing the intelligence from all parties, Gongsun Du believed that Zheng Yu had deep conflicts with Wu Da and Lou Shan, and he would not send troops to aid Wu Da and Lou Shan, so he calmly sent troops to the east.But now Zheng Yu is here, but the two Xianbei tribes still haven't shown up, and the entire Liaodong war situation is developing in a direction that favors the Wuhuan people.

Liu Yi sighed and said with regret: "It seems that time is too late, you can retreat one after another, and we have to make preparations to defend Xi'an Ping, what a pity." After finishing speaking, he sighed again and again.

Yang Yi said helplessly: "Such Xianbei people must be playing tricks. They just want to wait until we have fought to the death with the Wuhuan people before dispatching cavalry to pick up cheap ones. They are really a bunch of old foxes. There are more than 2 people in the Ministry. Except for him who brought 5000 cavalry to Tucheng, the other [-] people are still waiting in the border area. However, it is reported that Zheng Yu has reached a secret agreement with Wu Da and others, and is ready to send out all reinforcements Wuhuan people."

Liu Yi turned around and said to the general in charge of the spies: "Send all the spies immediately, and make sure to keep track of the movements of Zheng Yu's troops. It's a pity that Suli's troops didn't go south to attack Liucheng in time, otherwise Zheng Yu would be too busy to take care of himself. In addition, there are intelligence reports that he There are more than 2 cavalry in Wuhuan, they came from Jicheng for reinforcements, the commander is Zhao Yun, he is a fierce general."

Gongsun Kang sneered and said, "It's a pity that Liucheng is in charge of a woman, so it's nothing to worry about!"

"Don't underestimate women, especially Queen Song Ji of Wuhuan. She is a woman whom most Wuhuan people respect very much. Back then, Qiu Liju relied on Song Ji's strategy to develop and grow. It's a pity that this bastard would It is extremely weird for a woman to give Zheng Yu as a concubine."

Gongsun Kang said angrily: "What the hell is breaking the rules? My own woman can give it away as soon as she asks. Isn't he worried that the hat is green?"

When it came to Qiu Liju's act of giving away the woman on his deathbed, all three of them laughed "haha".

Then, Liu Yi ordered his subordinates to go to the upstream area immediately, dig all the gaps in the stream, and introduce the entire stream into the moat. "One is to increase the water level, so that the Wuhuan people don't want to cross; The surface of the moat is not easy to freeze. In this way, we can withstand ten days and a half months, and immediately send people to Xianbei to urge Yuwen, Mohuai and Suli to act at the same time, otherwise all the promises we made in the past will be void. ,Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

The generals under his command left in response, and Liu Yi, Gongsun Kang, Yang Yi and other talents went down the city wall.

On a battlefield where the two sides are evenly matched, the sudden addition of a powerful new force will definitely break the original balance of power. Therefore, the opposing sides are full of attention to the movements of Zheng Yu's army.Su Puyan, Wu Da and others looked forward to the stars and the moon every day, waiting for the arrival of Zheng Yu's main force. Gongsun Du and Liu Yi also sent people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Zheng Yu's men and maintained a high level of vigilance.

But at this time, Ta Dun, Zhao Yong, Wang Meng and others received a strange letter from Zheng Yu, saying that they were asked to send troops into the Liaodong border during the day, and then withdraw most of their troops back to the Wuhuan border area at night. Wait until he gives the order to attack Liaodong.

Ta Dun asked while reading the letter: "Zhao Yong, Wang Meng, you two have been with my adoptive father for the longest time. What kind of trick is my adoptive father doing? Do you want Gongsun Kang to have the illusion that the number of the main force of our army is not just 2?" Thousands of people? If they think that I came to reinforce Uda and the others with tens of thousands of cavalry, will they immediately withdraw their troops? In this way, our goal of reinforcing Uda and other bastards will be achieved ahead of time. This is what my adoptive father said before It's 'conquest without war', right?"

Zhao Yong and Wang Meng glanced at each other, they didn't understand Zheng Yu's real intention, so they could only guess.After a long time, Wang Meng said: "My lord may be trying to scare away the secret reinforcements of Gongsun Du who have not yet appeared. If the enemy reinforcements know that our army is strong, they may not dare to come and provoke us."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yong said seriously: "After the day passes, we return at night, and the day passes again the next day. In this way, in the eyes of the enemy spies, the number of our troops will increase several times. When they report back, they will say that we With tens of thousands of reinforcements, it is more likely that Gongsun Kang will retreat. It is not unreasonable to guess. But this is a border area. If Gongsundu's spies are more careful, they will definitely find something tricky. Therefore, I judge It's hard to really hide the intent of the move."

He really couldn't understand this matter, thinking that the lord knew that it would be difficult to hide this from Gongsun Du's spies.But why does the lord still do this?Zhao Yong frowned and thought about it, and then said after a while: "Could it be that this is a show for Wu Da, Su Puyan and others? If so, we can just carry it out. Anyway, we can't hide it from them, but Wu Da and others have nothing to do with us." trick."

"In my opinion, the lord is delaying time. He is waiting for Gongsundu's reinforcements to appear. Then we will determine the countermeasures. As long as we are in the border area, we are in a very favorable standby position, regardless of whether he is Xianbei reinforcements or Goguryeo reinforcements. They didn't recruit us."

The three of them guessed for a while, and felt that either possibility was possible, so they decided not to guess at all. They immediately ordered the execution of the order, prepared to send troops that night, crossed the border in a big way the next day, entered Liaodong County, and set up camp in the border area that night. In the middle of the night, a large number of troops were sent back to the starting point secretly.

Just like this, the three troops circled around the border area, coming and going, and turned the border area into a miasma, making Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi puzzled, but they were even more afraid of Zheng Yu in their hearts.

But he said that shortly after Zheng Yu sent the letter, he took Li Ji and Wu Min to a hilltop to watch the battle. They saw a large number of Wuhuan soldiers digging and filling the moat in front of the moat. Yes, the moat is shrinking, and the faces of Gongsun Kang and others on the opposite side have turned livid.

"Damn it, which bastard came up with such a bad idea?" Gongsun Kang cursed as he saw that the moat, which was a natural barrier, was losing its effect.Liu Yi also had a gloomy face. He wanted to stick to it for another ten and a half months, but now he has no confidence in sticking to it for three to five days.

Yang Yi sighed and said: "Maybe it was Zheng Yu's idea. We have been confronting Wu Da and Su Puyan for more than a month, and we have never seen them have such weird tricks. But after Zheng Yu arrived at the front line, they appeared This kind of strange move must be him, this guy is really difficult to deal with."

At this time, dozens of teams on the opposite side started at the same time, and the moat was shrinking rapidly.

Liu Yi ordered his generals to prepare sharp arrows, "When the Wuhuan soldiers come within my range, let the whole army shoot in salvo, and never let them close the moat. At the same time, immediately order the upper reaches to completely dig the river and bring in all the water. Even if we can't stop it, we can let the river overflow, and this place will become a swamp, and it is very beneficial for us to be condescending."

The messenger immediately went to convey the order, while Gongsun Kang, Liu Yi and Yang Yi were watching on the city wall. Within an hour, the spies came again and reported that Wuhuan sent troops to counterattack our river-digging troops in the upper reaches, and our army was defeated. , the river bank has been controlled by Wuhuan soldiers, and they are digging another river in an attempt to submerge the low-lying land behind our Tucheng.

Liu Yi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately sent more troops to compete with the Wuhuan people for the upper water source.

In this way, a large-scale battle broke out between the two sides to control the upper stream.

At this time, Su Puyan sent someone to report the current situation of the battle to Zheng Yu and others who were watching the battle on the hill. Zheng Yu, Li Ji, and Wu Min all laughed after hearing this.

But Li Ji said with admiration: "My husband's idea led to another war. It's really fun, and the war can still be fought like this."

Wu Min took the initiative to hold Zheng Yu's arm, leaned his head on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I will call you my lord from now on." His expression was sweet, and he seemed to be obedient.Li Ji couldn't stop laughing when she saw it, and teased, "You guys have done more things than other husbands and wives. You are only called husbands now. What about before? How could you do so many things without your husbands?"

Wu Min curled his mouth, turned his head and gave Zheng Yu a blank look, and explained in a low voice, "It's not what I want to do, it's my husband who takes the initiative every time." This is typical half-push, half-do, not even half-push.Afraid of Li Ji's ridicule, she blushed and turned her head to the other side to watch the battle of earth filling on the moat.
