Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houba heard Bai Ren's emotional words, and immediately looked at each other. Seeing that Bai Ren was about to leave, the three of them also went to tidy up their clothes and take a rest.

"Wait!" Just as the three were about to leave, Bai Ren suddenly turned around and stopped the three of them.

Cao Xiu looked at Bai Ren who suddenly turned back, and felt a little frightened, and then asked Bai Ren in a cautious tone: "General Bai, do you have anything else to do?"

"Well, the three of you go back and tidy up yourselves, take a shower, and come to my mansion at night. I have a discussion with the three of you." Bai Ren looked at the three of them calmly at this time, and then said in a tone He calmly said to the three of them, and finally turned around and left silently.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Bai Ren gradually go away, and then walked towards their residence in silence.

It was already nightfall, Cao Zhen and the three went to Bai Ren's mansion together, and were led by the soldiers into the hall of the mansion.

"General, the people have been brought here!" The soldier brought the three of them to the mansion, looked at Bai Ren who was sitting on the main seat with a calm expression, and said to Bai Ren in a calm tone.

At this time, the three of them looked at the hall with some surprises on their faces. It was full of people, including Bai Ren's apprentices Hao Zhao and Deng Ai, as well as the generals who belonged to Bai Ren's subordinates, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others. There are also counselors Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others. It can be said that all the high-level officials in Shouchun City are here now.

"The three of you are here, hurry up and sit down." Seeing that Xia Houba and the other three had arrived, Bai Ren immediately said to the three with a calm expression, pointing to the three vacant seats beside him, motioning for them to sit down.

The three nodded, then walked towards their seats and sat down respectively.

"Today, Zidan and I went to Hefei City to investigate the situation of Hefei City. Zidan, tell me how is the situation in Hefei City?" Seeing that all the people had arrived, Bai Ren touched his own Huzi said to everyone in a calm tone, and then turned his gaze to Cao Zhen who was on the side.

At this time, Cao Zhen looked at Bai Ren with a slightly surprised expression, rubbed the back of his head with a bad expression, and replied to Bai Ren in a low voice: "General, how do I know the form of Hefei City?" .”

"Zihe! What about you?" Bai Ren listened to what Cao Zhen said, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he looked at Cao Xiu who was at the side, and asked Cao Xiu in a calm tone.

When Cao Xiu heard such a question suddenly, he was completely stupefied. At this time, he looked at Bai Ren's gaze, coughed slightly, and then replied in a hesitant tone: "The city of Hefei is very strong, and then..."

In the end, even Cao Xiu himself couldn't answer, so he could only sit there with embarrassment on his face.

Bai Ren chuckled at this moment, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth deepened, and then he turned his gaze to Xia Houba who was at the side.

At this time, Xia Houba was sitting upright, suddenly seeing Bai Ren looking over, his whole body trembled with fright, could it be that he really couldn't escape?

"Zhong Quan, it's your turn!" Bai Ren looked at Xia Houba's whole body trembling, touched his chin lightly, and shouted at Xia Houba in a somewhat displeased tone.

Xia Houba shook his head helplessly at this time, and then said to Bai Ren cautiously: "General Bai, I don't know how to answer."

"You three really think that I'm taking the three of you to Hefei City just to say hello to the people in Hefei City?" The three said.

Cao Zhen and the others looked aggrieved and lowered their heads, not knowing how to face Bai Ren.

"This time I didn't make it clear to you when I left. Now I will tell you in person. Next time, you should pay attention. As a general, you must know the situation at any time! Only in this way can you seize the opportunity." Bai Ren said Shi looked at the three of Cao Zhen with a serious expression, then turned his gaze to his two apprentices, and said to them with a heavy tone.

After hearing this, Cao Zhen raised his head and nodded thoughtfully, while Hao Zhao and Deng Ai kept their master's words firmly in mind.

"Now when we went to Hefei City, the soldiers in Hefei City couldn't hold out. Even after I provoked them, they didn't go out. This shows that the soldiers in Hefei City are on the defensive and have no intention of attacking for the time being." Bai Ren said. Shi Shi touched his chin, looked at the few people in front of him, and replied calmly.

After hearing what Bai Ren said, everyone suddenly realized that even though it was easy to find out, it was just that they were not good at thinking.

"If the enemy is on the defensive, I heard that Sun Quan sent reinforcements when they attacked Shouchun City, but there has been no news of the reinforcements retreating in Hefei City recently. Why didn't the reinforcements retreat now?" Bai Ren's face turned pale. Looking at Cao Zhen and the others calmly, he asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Soochow's army may have other plans." At this time, Hao Zhao looked at Bai Ren with a serious expression, and then replied calmly to Bai Ren.

"There is another plan, so the Soochow army has another plan? What is it?" Bai Ren looked at Hao Zhao after hearing Hao Zhao's words, and asked him in a calm tone.

Hao Zhao looked at his master-like eyes, and immediately didn't know how to answer.

Cao Zhen and the others also slowly fell into deep thought after hearing what Bai Ren said.

"Master, I'm afraid this Eastern Wu army is determined to attack Shouchun City!" At this time, Deng Ai, who was silent at the side, suddenly spoke, looked at his master, and said to him in a heavy tone.

Looking at Deng Ai, Bai Ren nodded with some relief. Sure enough, Deng Ai, who is the most talented among his disciples, still tends to see the essence through things.

"That's right, the Soochow army is not dead-hearted. I'm afraid they still want to attack Shouchun City. As long as Shouchun City is captured, the entire Huainan can be controlled by Soochow." Bai Ren touched his chin with a calm tone. Said to Wen Wu, Cao Zhen and others around him.

"What does the general mean..." Cao Zhen and the others had suddenly realized at this moment, they looked at Bai Ren in shock, and asked cautiously.

"I'm afraid Ding Feng, the current defender of Hefei, has already sent someone to ask for reinforcements from Soochow Sun Quan. Now they are on the defensive. When reinforcements arrive from Soochow, they will definitely attack." Bai Ren stroked his beard, his tone Some calmly said to the surrounding Wenwu.

"Master, do you mean to seize Hefei City first before the reinforcements from Jiangdong arrive?" Jin asked in a calm tone.

Bai Ren looked at Jia Xu at the side, nodded in a calm tone, and then said calmly, "If Sun Quan leads a large army to unite with Hefei City's army, I'm afraid that Shouchun City alone will not be able to resist it." Yes, the only way now is to capture Hefei City before Sun Quan's reinforcements arrive and seize the initiative in the war."

Chapter 7 and One

"The enemy's defenses should not be very strong tonight. This is the best opportunity for us to surprise the enemy and capture Hefei City." Bai Ren sat on his seat and looked at the generals around him calmly. , said in a calm tone.

"General Bai, even if we attack Hefei City tonight, there are at least [-] Soochow defenders in Hefei City. I'm afraid they won't be able to attack in just one night." Cao Xiu used to follow Cao Hong, so he knew something about commanding troops in war.Now after hearing what Bai Ren said, he asked Bai Ren with some hesitation.

"The mountain people have their own tricks. I have already sent people to prepare the way into the city!" Bai Ren smiled at the corner of his mouth at this time, looking calmly at the doubtful people around him, and calmly replied to them.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others listened to Bai Ren's words, looked at the few people in the hall, and after a little thought, they understood what was going on.

"Master, is it possible that he intends to use tunnel warfare?" Jia Xu looked at Bai Ren in front of him with some doubts, and looked at Liu Wei who had been alone all day, and asked Bai Ren in a calm tone.

"The method of digging tunnels is simply too weak. I'm afraid that the enemy will find us and we will be finished. Moreover, after capturing Hefei City, the enemy may turn around and attack us. This tunnel will also become our weakness." Bai Ren said with a complexion. Calmly looking at Jia Xu on the side, he said in a calm tone, after all, Ding Feng, the guard of Soochow now, is his disciple and his secret is wrong, he also understands something, how could he be unprepared?

After hearing Bai Ren's words, all the generals looked a little puzzled, especially Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others, since they didn't need to fight in tunnels, what method would they use to capture Hefei City!

At this moment, a soldier came in from the courtyard in a hurry, and said to Bai Ren who was sitting on the main seat with a heavy face, "General Bai, Captain Liu has almost dug the embankment down, as long as you As long as the general gives an order, the water can be released immediately."

"Hehe, good!" Bai Ren was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately stood up from his seat, saying with a little excitement.

When the generals heard the news, they almost knew what Bai Ren was going to do. Bai Ren's plan was to use water to break through the city!

In the Huainan area, there are frequent floods in summer, so many dams have been built to store water to prevent floods in the Huainan area, but the dams are no longer used for flood control, but also for water storage.There is too much rain this summer, so there is a lot of water in the embankment.

Now as long as the water in the dam is first excavated, it will naturally flow to the lower place, and Hefei City is located at the lowest point of the terrain. When the time comes, the flowing water will surely break through the city of Hefei City.

"In Shouchun City, are there bamboo rafts and other things?" Bai Ren asked calmly, looking at Zhang Liao at the side with a calm expression.

"General, there are a lot of bamboo rafts in the city! There are also large and small boats." Zhang Liao has been following Bai Ren, and since entering Shouchun City, he has acted as Bai Ren's steward, not only managing the army, but also managing the ordnance in the city. Uses.

When Bai Ren heard the news, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, he guessed right. It turned out that Cao Cao originally planned to take two approaches to unify the world, and the east would have to cross the Yangtze River at that time, so he had already prepared ships and Bamboo rafts, but in the end Cao Cao temporarily lost the opportunity to go south with the defeat in the Chibi War.

However, Cao Cao's plan to unify the world is still useful, at least for Bai Ren now. When the water breaks through the city of Hefei, he can take his soldiers and attack them on bamboo rafts.

"Go and prepare immediately, and get your soldiers ready to attack Hefei City tonight. Zhang Liao, you take your soldiers to distribute the bamboo rafts." Bai Ren looked at the surrounding civil and military with a serious expression at this time, and spoke calmly. Then they gave the order.

"The last general obeys the order!" Hearing Bai Ren's heavy words, the surrounding generals quickly replied to Bai Ren in a somewhat heavy tone, and then immediately left Bai Ren's courtyard to prepare the soldiers for the expedition.

"You go back to the embankment right now, as soon as you get back, let Liu Wei destroy the embankment and release the water." Bai Ren looked at the soldiers in front of him who came to report the news, and ordered the soldiers with a heavy tone.

The soldier nodded after hearing Bai Ren's words, and immediately left the mansion, heading to the embankment to notify Liu Wei.

"Disciple, didn't you use water to defeat Hefei and seize Hefei? Today, as a teacher, I will let you see how powerful your master is." Bai Ren looked at the soldiers who were going to report the news, with a smug expression on the corner of his mouth. Then he said in a low voice with a smile.

At this moment, on a high ground, there is an endless source of water stored in it, and a dam blocks the water source. At this time, the dam has been torn apart, and it seems that it has been man-made. Water started to seep out. , and near the embankment, a middle-aged man in armor held a special metal weapon in his hand, sitting on the grass with sixty or seventy people behind him, waiting for something.
