Chapter 1069 Guo Tu's Conspiracy(1/2)
"I don't know how many innocent people will be destroyed, and I have to use it."
Xin Ping felt a little guilty about the harm to the people.
Yuan Tan waved his hand indifferently:
"If you have major issues in the city, you don't care about the details. As long as you can seize Xuzhou, why should you care about the lives and deaths of those untouchables?
The plan to flood Xia Pi is decided like this!
I immediately sent the soldiers to dig the water of Yi and Si, and tomorrow I will let Zhang Liao be the turtle in the city.
At that time, I will just come to him to catch turtles in a jar!"
Yuan Tan was in a good mood and quickly called Yan Jing, Wang Zhao, Peng An and other generals to assign the task of digging water.
Just like him, Yuan Shao's sons believed that he was extremely noble in the identities of the three emperors of the fourth generation.
In their eyes, the people were just unruly people and untouchables. This was one of the reasons why Yuan Shao had only four states in his previous life but could not fight Cao Cao.
The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Xia Pi City was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain began.
The guard general Zhang Liao braved the heavy rain and climbed the city to watch with a frown.
The Yan army did not come to attack the city today, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
Guo Tu also followed Zhang Liao and climbed the city wall.
He was wearing a gray cloak today. Because the rain was too heavy, two boys with the appearance of a book boy held a greasy umbrella for Guo Tu.
Rain kept flowing down from the oil-paper umbrella.
Guo Tu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to let the rain flow into his hands.
Zhang Liao asked Guo Tu:
"Mr. Gongze, what did you find?"
Although Guo Tu is born with a bad head, he looks like a flatterer who only knows how to flatter.
But Zhang Liao knew that Guo Tu had great skills.
Since Guo Tu came to Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou have been rich and the administration is clear and clear.
Guo Tu's powerful political ability made Zhang Liao look at him with admiration and knew that people should not behave like appearance.
Guo Tu said thoughtfully:
"The rain is a little bit wrong, there shouldn't be such heavy rain in spring.
Zhu Ran?"
Zhu Ran stepped forward and replied:
"The last one will be there."
"You go and check the water level in the city, whether it's the same as when it rained before.
If the water level is higher than usual, measure how much it is higher."
"promise!"
Zhu Ran took several soldiers to various streets in Xia Pi City to measure the water level, and came back half an hour later to report:
"Report to the military advisor!
The water level in Xia Pi City has risen sharply, more than an inch higher than usual!”
Guo Tu nodded and said to Zhang Liao:
"General Wen Yuan, if someone's guess is correct, the Yan army has already begun to break the dam and release the water."
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice:
"Are they planning to flood Xia Pi?
Do these Yan soldiers ignore the lives and deaths of the people of Xuzhou?"
"One general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven."
Guo Tu said calmly:
“History is always written by victorious people.
If Yuan Shao wins the world in the future, who will remember the flood of Xia Pi today?"
"hateful!"
Zhang Liao clenched his fists.
He suddenly remembered that the day Cao's army attacked the city was raining heavily, the water level in Xia Pi City rose sharply, and the people's crying sounded shocking.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao!
The world must not fall into the hands of such a traitor!
Only my lord, King Chu, is the lord who truly cares about the people and loves the people!
Zhang Liao said to Guo Tu:
"Military advisor, can the enemy army flood the city? Is there a solution to the situation?"
"For the sake of our current plan, we only have two ways to go."
Guo Tu said softly:
"The safest way is to stay in the door and let the people prepare for disaster prevention.
All the soldiers climbed to the top of the city and guarded Xia Pi.
As long as you hold on for two days, wait for the army of Wenhou to come, the siege of Xia Pi will be lifted."
“What else is there?”
"The other strategy is more risky."
Guo Tu continued:
"Although the water level in the city is rising, it has not yet reached the level of floods.
This proves that the Yan army had just begun to dig the waters of Yi and Si.
If we can take this opportunity to defeat the Yan army and send soldiers to consolidate the embankment, we can also relieve the floods in the city."
Xia Pi City had been flooded by Cao's army once, and Zhang Liao really didn't want the people to suffer such suffering again.
His eyebrows stood up and he said firmly:
"Since that's the case, I led the soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy and fight to the death with Yuan Tan!"
Guo Tu advised:
"There are less than five thousand soldiers in the city, and Yuan Tan has an army of 100,000 under his command.
Even though the general has the strength of a peerless realm, it would be too risky to defeat the 100,000 Yan troops with thousands of soldiers."
Zhang Liao looked at Guo Tu sincerely and said:
"My intention has been decided!
Please plan for me, sir!"
"This...well."
Guo Tu sighed lightly and said to the generals:
"All the generals, please follow me."
Zhang Liao and other generals followed Guo Tu into a quiet room inside the city wall.
There is only one table and one chair in the quiet room, which is where Guo Tu rests on weekdays.
As a strategist, he did not have the physique of a military general. After patrolling the city walls, he needed to rest in the house for a while.
There is a map on the table, and Guo Tu slowly expanded the picture and said:
"Look at me, generals, this is Xia Pi City.
If Yuan Tan wants to break the Yi River, he must dig a dam at the highest point.
The highest exit in Yishui is near this Tushan.”
Guo Tu reached out to a point on the picture and continued:
"The enemy's flooded the city, and the main purpose is to force our army out of the city to fight.
Our army has few soldiers, so the enemy will not be too prepared for us.
Therefore, when Yan Army saw our soldiers, they would definitely pursue them relentlessly and think about killing the enemy and achieving success.”
Guo Tu drew an arc on the map and said to Zhu Ran and Zhu Huan:
"The two generals can lead a horse to the Yan army camp and bluff the enemy's troops.
If the Yan army pursued them, they would lead them into the Feilong River in the north of Yishui."
