The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 513
Not long after nightfall that day, Liu Chan was in the government office in Dangyang, and first received news about the flood from Liao Hua.Liao Hua was still in the form, and he also submitted Shi Guangyuan's plan to attack Zhuge Jin's army after asking him to decline for two days.

After Liu Chan finished reading it, he was overjoyed.Because he was too excited, he stood up directly from his seat, clapped the watch, and shouted: "The plan is over! Jiangling City has been relieved!"

Both Zhuge Qiao and Xia Houyun were taken aback by Liu Chan's reaction.

Zhuge Qiao is clear about everything in Jingzhou, and Liu Chan has never kept any secrets from him.He thought a little bit, and now he was able to rescue Jiangling City in such a short period of time, it was nothing more than General Guan Xing's plan to flood Jiangling City.

This watch was delivered directly to Shizi through Zhuge Qiao's hand. Of course, he knew the source of this watch was from Liao Hua and Shi Guangyuan from Zhijiang County.But the news of Jiangling City's siege came from the two of them, which seemed rather strange.

Zhuge Qiao was a little worried about the safety of his father, Zhuge Jin, and was afraid that Shi Guangyuan might use some clever trick to suddenly defeat Zhuge Jin's army.

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help feeling a little nervous, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what was the plan, and why did you say that the siege of Jiangling City was lifted?"

Liu Chan was in a good mood, pointing to the expression and said with a smile: "Of course Guan Xing's flood plan succeeded, so the siege of Jiangling City must have been lifted when the flood came down."

Zhuge Qiao snorted, glanced at Xia Houyun at the bottom, and asked Liu Chan, "But this watch is from Zhijiang County, why did it come from them?"

Liu Chan guessed that Zhuge Qiao was worried about Zhuge Jin's safety, so he patiently explained: "It may be that Guan Xing's road is far away. General Liao learned about it after the flood passed Jiangling City. His road is short. So it's here first. I think Guan Xing's good news will come soon. However, don't worry, the Jiangdong Army's Zhijiang camp is temporarily unlikely to be in trouble."

Zhuge Qiao wondered, "Why did your son say that?" Things have developed to such a point that the Jiangdong army's Zhijiang camp should have been in danger. How could Zhuge Jin be fine?Zhuge Qiao really couldn't understand.

Liu Chan told Zhuge Qiao the contents of Liao Hua's watch, Zhuge Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what are you going to do next, my lord?"

Liu Chan thought about it.

Not a moment later, Guan Xing's good news came.

Moreover, Guan Xing still sent two good news, one was Quan Cong's emergency withdrawal of troops, and the other was the good news of defeating Gan Ning's navy and accepting Zhou Cheng's navy.

Now that the encirclement of Jiangling City has been lifted, that is definitely a fact.However, what also excited Liu Chan was the fact that Zhou Cheng helped Changhu Shuizhai defeat the Gan Ning army and really came to vote.

After all, Liu Chan had already made a strategic plan to bring the entire Dongting Lake into his territory and build an army in it that could challenge the Jiangdong Army Navy.But in Liu Chan's hands, he really couldn't find anyone who could train the generals of the navy.Zhou Cheng's arrival may really be a great gift specially sent to him by the heavens.

Therefore, Liu Chan immediately asked Xia Houyun to help him write a letter to Guan Xingjun, and specially recruited Zhou Cheng to come to Dangyang to meet him.

Neither Xia Houyun nor Zhuge Qiao could have imagined that the prince would value this little-known Zhou Cheng so much.Seeing Shizi's excited and solemn expression, Xia Houyun knew that Shizi was not joking, so he immediately sat down and wrote a letter according to what Shizi said, and then sent someone to send it out.

But Liu Chan's letter was not delivered to Zhou Cheng in time.

After Guan Xing successfully opened the embankment to release the water, he could just let the army slowly march back to the water village.The soldiers were so tired that Guan Xing couldn't bear to urge them to march faster.

But Guan Xing, the main general, no matter how tired he is now, it is impossible to delay outside.He left the army first, and galloped back to the camp with the guards.

Then, Guan Xing immediately raised his account to summon Meng Xi, Xue Kang and Zhou Cheng.Guan Xing first had a conversation with Zhou Chengxian, and finally gained some understanding of this person's temperament.

Then, Guan Xing and everyone began to discuss the next action plan.Of course, after Guan Xingjun broke through the siege of Jiangling City by Sun Quan's army in one fell swoop, it cannot be said that they will be fine in the future.What's more, these generals are young, and most of them are very keen on making contributions.

Therefore, after some discussions, everyone felt that the army at hand could actually do something in the next battle in Nanjun.For example, the floating boat goes westward.

What's the meaning?This plan was actually proposed by Zhou Cheng.

His original intention was that if the flood in South County was big enough and the water level was deep enough, he could select capable sailors from his own fleet to drive a relatively small warship like the 艨艟 from the breach of Long Lake, carrying The army attacked in the direction of Jiangling City, and could even reach Zhijiang County, and make a surprise attack on the rear of Zhuge Jin's army from the rear.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for a giant like a building boat to travel in a flood.

When Guan Xing and the others heard Zhou Cheng's proposal, they were all stunned for a long time.For generals like them who are used to land battles, and even don't even know how to swim, they really lack imagination in water warfare in their minds, so it is reasonable to be stunned.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Cheng couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive when he saw that everyone was silent, and he was a newcomer, and he was going to make suggestions to the general as soon as he came up.He then asked Guan Xing, "General Guan, do you think this is okay?"

Only then did Guan Xing come back to his senses.He didn't answer Zhou Cheng directly, but asked, "Is General Zhou confident in carrying out this plan?"

As a newcomer, Zhou Cheng had to show his determination immediately, whether it was to show his determination, or to gain the attention of Guan Xing and his son Liu Chan.

Zhou Cheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Guan, we will need to go to the breach to observe the water regime in the end. If the hydrological conditions are acceptable, we might as well give it a try. Furthermore, when implementing this plan, we also need to be familiar with the local conditions." As a guide, otherwise it is easy to encounter danger."

Guan Xing nodded, from this point of view, this Zhou Cheng is quite cautious, maybe let him have a try.He said: "If that's the case, this general will immediately send someone to take you to the breach."

So, Zhou Cheng, led by Guan Xing's people, set off towards the breach of the embankment overnight.

It was not until two days later that Zhou Cheng felt that the hydrological conditions were sufficient for his steed to travel in the flood, so he reported the situation to Guan Xing.

Therefore, Meng Xi and Zhou Cheng were dispatched to lead more than 700 warships, carrying all the soldiers of the Yuanshui Army brought by Zhou Cheng, plus more than 2000 people sent by Guan Xing, a total of [-] troops. Start from the water village, and then carefully drive past the breach of the long lake in order.

However, they do have risks.In fact, not all of the [-] boats passed safely, and nearly ten of them capsized when passing through the breach, and many people were buried in the flood as a result.

However, with the passage of the fleet, a strange and unprecedented scene of sailing on land was staged in the boundary of Jingzhou for the first time.

When the fleet of hundreds of warships sailed slowly under Jiangling city, the Jingzhou army on the city was stunned, thinking that they were delusional.
