Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 96 Han Xin's Plan
An eagle braved the heavy rain and landed in a huge camp outside the large Donghu tribe.When a soldier saw the eagle, he hurried over to untie the bound silk books, and hurried to a tent.A soldier carefully looked at the symbols on the silk script, took out a roll of bamboo slips, and reported each word to the knife and pen officer next to him.Not long after, the silk script turned into a roll of bamboo slips, and the soldiers ran to the central army tent holding the bamboo slips.

Han Xin, Fan Kui, and Zhang Liang were discussing around the map on the table in the tent, when they heard footsteps, they fell silent.When the soldiers saw the three of them, they quickly bowed and said, "Zhou Bo's department urgently reports."

"Zhou Bo?".The three were puzzled and looked at each other.

Han Xin took the bamboo slips, opened them for viewing, and handed them to Fan Kui, showing a wry smile: "Zhou Bo's troops captured two large tribes in a row. At this time, the west and south of the central grassland belong to our city of Seoul."

"After a long time, it turns out that they are here to boast."Fan Kuai showed a depressed expression, and handed over the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhang Liang.Seeing that they were discussing important matters, the soldiers saluted silently, turned and walked out of the tent.

Zhang Liang watched carefully, and smiled at the two of them: "My power in Seoul is growing again, which is a good thing, why do you two have a bitter face?"

"Our army has been here for more than a month, but it has no merit. In addition, it was rainy and cloudy during this period of time. We can only watch Zhou Bo and the others go rampant."Fan Kui was very depressed when he thought of this. He thought that this large Donghu tribe could win in a single battle, but he never thought that the fight would be so difficult.

Zhang Liang raised his brows thinking of the continuous rain and the difficult battles of the past few days: "15 Donghu large-scale tribal defenders are stationed in the tribal garrison, occupying a favorable location. Although our army has 30 troops, it is difficult to capture."

"It's not that you can't attack, but that you are tied when you attack."Fan Kuai exposed their thoughts without hesitation.

Han Xin pointed at the map, and then looked at Fan Kui: "It's not like you don't know that this large tribe in Donghu is only an appetizer for our army. If the loss is heavy, then we should, how should we face the next step?" Great War".

"So for more than a month, I didn't say anything. It's just that Zhou Bo's troops have captured the two large Hun tribes in the south and west. If our army can't capture the Huns before Zhou Bo's troops cut off the Huns' food roads, Donghu large-scale tribe, then I will lose everything."Thinking of this, Fan Kui felt a little anxious.

Zhang Liang pondered, looked at the map and kept deducing in his mind: "Once Zhou Bo's troops cut off the food road, and our army did not capture the large tribe in front of us, then the Xiongnu army will definitely return to help, and the Donghu army will have two There is a choice. Either pursue the Xiongnu army and wipe it out, and take advantage of the situation to wipe out Zhou Bo's troops. Or the Donghu army will return to the division and wipe out our troops. No matter what you choose, our city of Seoul will be exposed, and our troops and Zhou Bo's troops will also be wiped out. Waiting for us Waiting will also be a catastrophe.”

"It seems that Zhou Bo's move is to remind us. Take down the tribe in front of us as soon as possible, and cut off the food road of Donghu in one fell swoop."After Han Xin finished speaking, he looked at the map in front of him, but felt a headache.Is it really necessary to attack with all your strength at all costs? .

Zhang Liang drew it with his hands on the map, and shook his head after a long while: "The enemy on the opposite side will adapt to the local conditions and arrange troops to build this place like an iron bucket. It seems that there is no other way but to attack."

"There must be a flaw in the defense, and I would not believe it and couldn't find it."Han Xin looked at the map and gradually became angry.

Fan Kui shook his head when he heard Han Xin's words: "General, you have been talking about it for more than a month, but you still haven't found it. Now time is tight and you can't delay."

"Although the time is tight, there is no rush. At this moment, General Fan, don't be impatient."Zhang Liang comforted Fan Kui, then continued to look at the map, looking for a strategy to defeat the enemy.

The three of them were silent for a while, and the tent was silent, and the sound of raindrops falling on the tent gradually came.A flash of light flashed through Han Xin's mind, and all his thoughts became clear instantly, and his eyes kept looking for something on the map.He pointed his finger at a river heavily, and all the depression was swept away: "Since we can't attack them, then we won't attack their tribe."

"Don't attack their tribe? Then how do we cut off the food road of the Donghu army."Fan Kui looked suspiciously at the river that Han Xin was pointing at, not knowing why.

Zhang Liang looked at the river and compared it carefully, and realized something: "The general wants to force them to come out and fight us."

"Why do I feel a little confused? How could they give up their geographical advantage and come out to fight us."Thinking of the more than a month of fighting, Fan Kui quickly shook his head in disbelief.

Han Xin smiled at Fan Kuai, and tapped heavily on the river on the map: "General Fan, what are you looking at?"

"Rivers, but what does that have to do with forcing them out".Fan Kuai's puzzled expression became more intense.

Zhang Liang pointed upwards with his hand, and then reminded Fan Kuai: "General Fan, listen to the sound from above, and where is this river located in front of the large Donghu tribe."

"It's raining outside, and the river is at, at...".Fan Kui suddenly reacted and looked at the river marked on the map in disbelief: "You want to flood the large Donghu tribe".

"Such a good location, if our army can accept it intact, it will be of great help to the next big battle. How can the general be willing to be submerged?"Han Xin was full of confidence at this time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up when he thought of his pride.

Fan Kuai still didn't understand Han Xin's plan after thinking about it: "You point at this river and don't flood it, so what are you pointing at it for?"

"During this period of time, it was cloudy and rainy, adding to the original water volume of the river. Our army could set up an ambush here, and at the same time build a dam to accumulate water, but it will not be triggered. Let the enemy general think that we are planning to flood the water, Forced them to come out and fight our army."Han Xin told the two of his thoughts.

Fan Kui suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that the musty weather was so cute: "It's so good that you don't let it go, the enemy general has no choice but to come even if he knows that there is an ambush here."

"The enemy general must be prepared when he comes here, it doesn't matter whether he sets up an ambush or not."Zhang Liang looked at the river, thinking about the methods of the enemy generals during this time, feeling a little emotional.

Han Xin nodded: "Since this is the case, our army will not set up an ambush. It will be a head-to-head contest with the enemy on the opposite side."

"The general and the last general ask for orders, and now take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to build the dam."Fan Kuai didn't want to wait for a moment, so he asked for orders immediately.

Han Xin looked at the two men: "This trip will be led by the military division with [-] soldiers and horses to build the dam. General Fan led [-] soldiers and horses to attack the large Donghu tribe. I will personally lead the army to escort the military division."

"The general...".Fan Kui was a little unhappy, since they were going to be forced to go out for a decisive battle, what kind of attack was there?

Han Xin continued to instruct Fan Kui: "After the enemy will leave the city, you don't have to pay attention to this large tribe, and immediately follow and attack this Donghu army with this general."

"promise".After hearing Han Xin's arrangement, Fan Kui was overjoyed and immediately turned and walked out of the camp to arrange the next storm.
