Competing

Chapter 625 Wrong decision
The Xin'an Central Army tent received Feiying's report, Yue Wang Yinxu was in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, when General Zhang Han dispatched troops, it can be said that the cure was cured, and Han Xin has been restrained back, unable to move." Su An was also very excited about this result.

"Yeah, although this move was risky, fortunately it succeeded, and the matter of their alliance of the three countries was finally broken." Pu Jun was really sweating before, and went too far in wiping the gun for holding Huaishui.In short, the results are all developing in the expected direction, which is gratifying.

Ying Bo said with a smile: "In this way, we have won a lot of time and opportunities, we should seize it!"

"Not bad... By the way, how is the situation in Xingyang?" Yin Xu also felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much greater.

Su An smiled and said, "It's very exciting. What the king said is true. Rumors have spread in Xingyang. It is said that the city is full of wind and rain, and people are in panic. Many people went to the palace to ask for an interview and to testify Liu Bang's life and death in person. It's a mess."

Yin Xu smiled lightly, this is the effect of suspicion.They have no actual evidence to prove Liu Bang's life and death, but they only need to spread the news, and many of Han's actions appear to be full of doubts, which makes people have to believe it.Yin Xu hopes to disintegrate the morale of the Han army in this way and cause the Han army to be in turmoil.So Feiying was arranged to do these things, and it can be seen that the effect is excellent.

"The turmoil in the Han army will continue. This period of time is definitely an excellent opportunity, and we must make good use of it." Yin Xu asked: "Bo Zhou, have all the manpower that I asked you to arrange?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have sneaked into Xingyang City and arrived at the designated location." Su An replied respectfully.

Yin Xu nodded and said, "Very well, the key now is how to conquer the Luoshui defense line. Do you have any ideas on this?"

Seeing that Yingbo and Su An were silent, Pu Jun said: "Your Majesty, when you have nothing to do these few days, I went out for a walk. I asked the local people about the weather..."

Immediately, Yin Xu's eyes lit up, and he asked: "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

Pu Jun said: "Yes, the farmers by the Luoshui said that the flow of Luoshui this year is larger than in previous years. They said that the rainy season will start after today, and the older farmers are very sure, saying that they calculated according to experience. , there will be heavy rain in the mountains upstream of Luoshui..."

Speaking of this, Yin Xu's eyes began to flicker again and again, and said: "If what the old man said is true, this is a rare opportunity!"

Yingbo and Su An are both famous generals. Once they mentioned something, they immediately understood and said with a smile: "I heard that the Han army took a detour to defend against us. You should also take a shower, swim or something."

Several people looked at each other and laughed...

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

The upper reaches of Luoshui River are all in the mountains. Taking advantage of the good weather, a Vietnamese army entered the mountains early and chose a place with a narrow river.The Yue army quickly moved all the people in the surrounding fifty miles to Gaogao, and strictly controlled it. No one was allowed to approach Luoshui.We must absolutely guarantee that the news will not be leaked...

Bamboo cages were filled with big stones, and baskets of them sank into the river water. It didn't take long for a large-scale cofferdam to be built.This is exactly the method used by Li Bing, the Shu guard of Qi State, to build river weirs in the past, but the purpose of the Vietnamese army was not to build water conservancy projects.On the cofferdam, stones and sand bags continued to pile up, and it didn't take long for barrier lakes to appear...

In half a month, several such barrier lakes have formed in the mountains in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River... The water volume in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River has dropped slightly.However, there is Yishui supply on the way, and the most downstream places, such as Luoyi, are not very obvious.

Not long after, there was continuous rain in the Luoshui River Basin, which was a bit abnormal, but the water flow of Luoshui was as usual without much fluctuation.

Outside Luoyi City, Cao Can could not help but look worried when he watched the continuous rain.

"General, Prime Minister Cao, do you have any worries?" Fu Kuan, the Marquis of Yangling, was the man of culture, from the official to the right cavalry general, and also a brave general in the Han army.After Xiao He's death, Cao Shen succeeded him as the new prime minister and came to be responsible for guarding the Luoshui defense line.

Cao Shen sighed: "Yes, this year's rain is a bit abnormal. It has been going on for ten consecutive days. If it continues like this..."

"Are the soldiers worried that Luoshui will rise and Luoyi City will be in danger?" Fu Kuan asked softly.

Cao Shen nodded and said, "Yes, floods are troublesome at this time. A lot of grain and grass are brought in near the pier by the Luoshui River...Many barracks also set up camp by the river for convenience."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, the water level in Luoshui hasn't risen too much, maybe the rain upstream is not heavy." Fu Kuan comforted softly.

"Really? Have you visited it yourself?" Cao Shen asked in confusion.

Fu Kuan said: "The last general has been patrolling the Luoshui River for the past few days, and the river really hasn't swelled, and the rain in the upper reaches must have been lighter, so the prime minister doesn't have to worry.

In fact, this rain is also good for us. The road is muddy and the rain is torrential. The Vietnamese army cannot launch an attack in such weather.It is also very good for us to defend the city. "

"Having said that, I still feel a little uneasy..." Cao Shen sighed softly and said, "It's better to be careful, how about this, send someone to investigate the upper reaches of Luoshui and Yishui, and let the military camps by the river When it comes to benefits, food and grass must also be transferred..."

Although Fu Kuan was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he naturally did not dare to disobey Cao Shen's orders.

Cao Shen originally planned to personally supervise this matter, but he didn't want anyone to report: "Prime Minister, the King of Han is urgent!"

Prime Minister Cao of course knew who wrote the urgent edict of the King of Han, and if Lu Zhi could deliver the letter to him in such a timely manner, it was natural that something important and urgent had happened.After reading the content of the imperial edict, Cao Shen's face changed several times. The situation in Xingyang made him very anxious.Lu Zhi ordered him to return to Xingyang in time to stabilize the situation.

Cao Shen remained silent for a while, and called Fu Kuan to tell him, "The King of Han is in a hurry to send Zhenxiang back to Xingyang. I will leave Luoyi to you temporarily in charge for the next two days. Remember what I wanted to tell you just now. Don't take it lightly." Cao Shen thought that it was really inconvenient for the Yue army to launch an attack due to the heavy rain these days.On the other hand, the incident in Xingyang was quite urgent, and we had to rush back in time to stabilize the situation.With Fu Kuan's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to take charge of Luoyi temporarily.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, the general will be careful in his actions!" Although Fu Kuan promised very firmly, his actual implementation was not as careful as Cao Shen's.Because the water level of the river was low, the soldiers of the Han army didn't take Fu Kuan's orders seriously at all.

One day later, they will regret it immensely.Cao Shen will also regret it very much, leaving Luoshui is the worst decision he made...
