Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 346

After seeing the red mark on the map.Bu Zhi and Fu Youde couldn't help being shocked.

"Your Majesty, what does your Majesty mean, is to dig a river channel of tens of miles directly in the narrow area on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake, so as to enter Shaobo Lake and go around to the south side of Gaoyou City?"

Bu Zhi said in a daze.

Wang Jing smiled and said, "That's right. After digging the tens of miles long river channel, it can bypass Gaoyou and directly enter Shaobo Lake. How can Gaoyou block the attack from both sides?"

"Even if Yang Shuang can block it, I can abandon Gaoyou and go straight to Yangzhou! I don't believe that Yang Shuang can sit back and watch our army threaten Yangzhou!"

Bu Zhi, Han Xizai, Fu Youde and the others were a little surprised when they heard this.

Their eyes were all attracted by the defense lines of Gaoyou City and Jieshou, and they subconsciously formed a mindset.

Never thought there was such a way.

Of course, if Fu Youde and the others were unable to attack Gaoyou for a long time and had to think of other ways, they might also focus on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake.

"However, if you want to dig a river channel on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake, you must use a lot of manpower..."

Li Kaifang pondered.

Bu Zhi said: "There are more than 20 young and strong prisoners in the former Qin Dynasty, and there are also nearly [-] prisoners of war in the navy of the Sui Army, but these prisoners are young and strong, and there are about [-]!"

"If we mobilize the young and strong men of Guishan Mansion and Jinhu, it will not be a problem to recruit another 30 strong men! That's [-] young men..."

"With 30 strong men digging in sections, within a month, they will be able to dig through! Your Majesty's plan is really brilliant, I am ashamed of myself!"

heard here.

Many civil and military personnel present couldn't help but look at the red scratches on the map.

Just now they were still worried about the iron walls of Gaoyou and Jieshou. They felt that forcibly attacking and defending the line would inevitably lead to heavy casualties, and even some generals would die in battle.

But he didn't expect it, but in a short while, Duke Huai thought of a strategy to deal with the Sui army.

There is no need to attack the defense line at all, and digging a river with 30 young men is like a flying move in Go, which easily solves the dilemma and in turn poses a great threat to the Sui army.

Even Bu Zhi and Fu Youde didn't think of Wang Jing's method, and Yang Shuang naturally didn't think of it either.

In history, there has never been a record of digging dozens of miles of river channels in order to attack a city.

If Wang Jing's move can be successful, it can be regarded as a precedent.

Thinking of this, everyone sighed in their hearts.

"Well, 30 captives are more than enough to dig the river, but this is a very important move. Han Shilang, you go and send an order to ask Mr. Zhao from the construction department to bring two hundred craftsmen who are good at combing canals to come by fast boat!"

Wang Jing also thought of the defeated soldiers and prisoners of the former Qin and Sui navy divisions.

In addition to the West Route Army, the North Route Army also captured tens of thousands of defeated soldiers after they defeated Baoying, and these people were still under Baoying custody.

If necessary, the Huai army can use the clippers to take over these prisoners as hard labor.

"Sir, let's do it now!"

Han Xizai immediately walked out of the room and delivered Wang Jing's order.

At this time, Zhao Jianguo was still in Sihong, and he sent an order with a fast boat, and he would be able to arrive in about ten days.

before he arrived.

The Huai army needs to transfer all the captives in custody in the rear, prepare digging tools, and prepare a large amount of food and clothing for 30 people.

After nearly three years of development, the Huai Army did not know how much food and supplies had accumulated.

Among them, the hoarded grain and grass in the first year of the early days have not been eaten, and many grains and grass have even started to mold in the warehouse. After the officials of the palace reported this situation, they began to use the grain to make wine and make military dry food with a longer storage period...

It can be said that the Huai army has never worried about the issue of food and grass.

Not to mention 30 young and strong, even if a million young and strong gather, the Huai army can easily support it.

"During the digging of the river, the army must not slack off!"

Wang Jing turned his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Kaifang, "Li Kaifang, the Northern Route Army you lead can attack on a small scale, or mobilize tens of thousands of prisoners from Baoying to Jieshou, dig soil and fill ditches, and attract the attention of the Sui army!"

"Yang Kan leads his troops into the central army, and Gu has another appointment!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Li Kaifang and Yang Kan stood up together and bowed respectfully.

If the Northern Route Army could not penetrate Jieshou's defense line, then the 20 troops would not be able to go south. However, the Sui Army at Jieshou had insufficient defense and was weak in attacking. The two sides could only confront each other along the ditch.

In this case, it would be a waste to put an enemy like Yang Kan in the North Route Army.

Only when you are transferred to the Chinese army will you have a chance to shine.

"Fu Youde, you lead the navy to sit on Sanxing Island, watch over Yang Shuang, and let him lock up the city, and watch our army find another way to go straight to Shaobo Lake!"

Wang Jing said in a deep voice.

Fu Youde immediately got up and took orders.

October [-]nd.

After Wang Jing summoned the generals and schools of the whole army to go south and decided on a strategy, the territory occupied by the Huai army took action one after another. Du Fuwei and Zhang Lin began to escort the prisoners continuously.

A series of building boats are constantly shuttling in Gaoyou Lake.

Every shuttle transported a large amount of food and materials, as well as a large number of prisoners whose weapons had been confiscated.

These captives are based on a unit of [-] people, and [-] ten thousand households have been set up to facilitate command.

On the shore of the south bank of Gaoyou Lake, a wharf was built at a speed visible to the naked eye. The building boats could not dock, so they were transported by small boats. In less than a day, a camp appeared on the shore.

There are also warehouses for hoarding food and supplies.

Xu Xuan came in person and took dozens of civil servants to sort out the materials and register them in the register.

The spies of the Military Intelligence Division began to investigate the terrain in detail.

The south bank is about 45 miles wide. Except for a few hills and forests, most of it is wilderness tidal flats.

30 people, their individual strength is not very good, but when gathered together, they have the power to change mountains and rivers.

The Huai army escorted the prisoners extremely fast.

By October 20th, all the more than [-] captives had been escorted over, and another [-] young and strong could arrive in a day or two.

These captives already knew their mission in advance.

As long as they were not killed and served as hard labor as a defeated soldier and prisoner, everyone could accept it.

I even breathed a sigh of relief.

If they can dig the river, they will be considered a meritorious service, and their salary will be raised somewhat in the future.

The ships of the Huai army shuttled constantly, and a large number of young and strong gathered on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake, which naturally attracted the attention of the Sui army.

On the open space on the south bank of the lake.

Black and strong young men lined up and were organized into hundreds and thousands of households amidst shouts.

Tang Shengzong stood on a high place, his eyes swept over.

The mighty crowd almost covered the entire land.

If 30 people set up camp, it would be more than enough to cover dozens of miles. Not long ago, when the Huai Army and Deng Qiang faced each other, the camp of the [-] troops occupied an area of ​​[-] to [-] miles...

"Using 20 captives to dig the river can be completed within a month, mobilizing 30 young and strong, which consumes too much manpower!"

He was sent by Wang Jing to guard the prisoners, and supervised the work according to the route given by the construction department.

If he digs the river, he will make a great contribution.

This is also an opportunity for Wang Jing to give the new defector a chance to make meritorious service and promote him.

Tang Shengzong thought silently in his heart.

It feels like 30 people gathered in dozens of miles of wilderness is too motivating, but after thinking about it, it is impossible for 30 young and strong to work hard day and night.

More manpower, you can rotate excavation,

In this way, the completion speed will be much faster.

"Report... Our military sentry caught the Sui army's spies on the side of Shaobo Lake, and the Sui army has already detected our army's movements!"

A messenger quickly came to report.
