The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Fortunately, it rained continuously for a long time, and finally stopped in these two days.

Although it was not the rainy season at this time, the river had not yet surged to the point where it could directly overwhelm the dam.

However, the water flow in Sweat and Baihe has obviously increased a lot.

What Yuan Yao thought was that as long as the dam was dug, this amount of water would be enough to destroy Fancheng.

Waiting for that time, these soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command will become dogs in the water one by one.

Liu Zheng only needs to send soldiers and horses to siege and kill them one by one.

"Feng Xiao, the rain has stopped in the past two days, and our plan should be implemented."

Liu Zheng came to Guo Jia's room and began to plot this matter with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia has not been idle these days. On the one hand, he is paying attention to the dynamics of the river, and on the other hand, he has sent a large number of spies to pay close attention to the dynamics near Fancheng.

Here in Fancheng, although there are still many soldiers and horses stationed here, many cavalry have already left here.

Regarding the original 11 army under his command, except for the part of the troops lost in the attack on Xinye and Wancheng, he has a full 10 troops near Jingzhou.

It's just that the 10 people were not completely stationed in Fancheng.

The first is Fancheng. After all, this city is only a small city, and it is impossible to garrison a hundred thousand soldiers.

The second reason is that most of the soldiers and horses that Guan Yu came later were cavalry, and cavalry should not be kept in the city.

Therefore, we can only scatter these soldiers and horses to station in every nearby county, and at the same time find a place to raise horses, which can provide enough fodder for these war horses.

These soldiers and horses were scattered too loosely, so Guo Jia had to send a large number of spies to investigate their location.

Otherwise, Guo Jia would always feel uneasy if he didn't grasp their dynamics.

When Guo Jia noticed that these soldiers and horses were capturing Zaoyang, Yiyang and other counties.

He was less worried.

As long as these people are still under control, their plan to flood Fancheng can continue to be implemented.

"Your Majesty, there are only [-] soldiers and horses in Fancheng. If Fancheng is flooded now, it may not be able to severely damage Guan Yu."

"Do you think we should first attack Fancheng with great fanfare to attract the attention of the troops here, or directly excavate and flood Fancheng?"

Guo Jia wanted to lead a large army to attack Fancheng first, and use a massive battle to attract Guan Yu's idea. In this way, Guan Yu would definitely mobilize troops around Fancheng to defend.

When Guan Yu all mobilized his soldiers and horses to Fancheng, he was digging embankments and flooding Fancheng.

"I can't wait. I don't know how long it will take if I wait any longer."

"Other soldiers and horses must be living nearby, or they are attacking our other counties. If we wait for Guan Yu to mobilize soldiers and horses, it will take at least a few days. In these few days, the water in the river may not drop. not enough."

"Even if Guan Yu really transfers his soldiers and horses, we won't be able to achieve such an effect by digging up the embankment."

Liu Zheng thought about it and quickly rejected Guo Jia's proposal.

He just wanted to dig the embankment as soon as possible and pour all the water from the two rivers near Fancheng.

"In this case, His Majesty can order General Gan Ning to dig the embankment."

"Okay, that's it, we'll start digging tonight. In a few hours, the embankment will be dug up."

"At that time, the flood will be able to rush directly to Fancheng before dawn, and all the soldiers and horses in Fancheng will be trapped in the city overnight."

These days, Liu Zheng has never sent troops to the river embankment, and he dared not send anyone to inspect the river embankment.

Because he was thinking of digging up the embankment and flooding Fancheng, for fear of being seen by the enemy troops.

Once Guan Yu's men saw that he was going to do this.

Based on the strategies of Guan Yu's many advisers, it must be possible to guess.

Just in case, Liu Zheng resisted the restlessness in his heart.

No one was asked to do anything on the river embankment, but two people were sent to pretend to be villagers to find a suitable place for excavation on the river embankment.

As for where to start digging to submerge Fancheng as quickly as possible, he had already found out a few days ago.

It is the same now, just waiting for an order.

It was after Liu Zheng gave the order.

Sitting in the camp and resting for a few days, Gan Ning has been doing nothing.

Quite boring, he was playing chess with Tai Shici in the camp.

Chess was also invented by Liu Zheng to activate everyone's brains.

After all, there are still a few ancient entertainment items, and Liu Zheng copied some simple and convenient chess playing methods from later generations.

Especially chess, a two-person confrontation puzzle game.

It is a good inspiration for the generals under Liu Zheng.

In many cases, tactical deduction can be brought into full play.

Intersecting with Doudizhu, playing chess is more popular among senior generals and even strategists in the army.

"Ziyi, it's boring. How many days have passed? His Majesty has never ordered us to attack. I'm almost sick from staying in Xiangyang City all day long."

"Xingba, be safe and don't be impatient. Your Majesty has a reason for doing this. You and I are just generals. We must obey your majesty's orders."

"Do you know that Your Majesty has never fought an unprepared battle. His Majesty must be planning some kind of plan when he is doing this right now. It's just that you and I can't do it for the time being. But in my opinion, I have never fought against Guan Yu and other people. Put it in your eyes."

Taishi Ci was not as impatient as Gan Ning.

Although Tai Shici followed Liu Zheng for a shorter period of time than Gan Ning, but his character made Tai Shici believe in Liu Zheng even more.

Understand this battle, Liu Zheng will definitely not lose.

All he has to do is to trust Liu Zheng, and just follow Liu Zheng's decision at any time.

"Hey, I know what you said, it's just that the enemy troops on the other side of the river have been practicing these days, and I feel a little itchy."

Gan Ning spread his arms and leaned on the chair.

While Gan Ning and Tai Shici were still communicating, a voice from Jin Yiwei came from outside the camp.

"General Gan Ning is here!"

Jin Yiwei came to deliver Liu Zheng's secret order, and Gan Ning was taken aback when he heard it.

Tai Shici heard Jin Yiwei's voice, and immediately winked at Gan Ning.

"Xingba, what did I say, His Majesty will definitely take action, don't you think this is coming!"

Gan Ning hurriedly got up and went to meet Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei didn't say much, just reached out and took out a small piece of paper and handed it to Gan Ning.

"General Gan Ning, His Majesty asked me to hand this over to you!"

After Jin Yiwei handed it to Gan Ning, he gave some instructions.

Chapter 1000 two hundred 91 Digging the dam

Gan Ning immediately took the note that Jin Yiwei gave him, opened the note, and read the words on it.

"Tonight, lead 500 people to dig up the Han River on the side of Fancheng overnight."

Liu Zheng's order was written on the note, and Gan Ning was shocked when he saw it.

Although he didn't know what Liu Zheng's note meant, Gan Ning was still very excited.

Because he finally has something to do.

"Okay, reply to His Majesty, and say that the last general will definitely complete the task."

Gan Ning replied, and his whole body became excited.

Tai Shici was also curious, wondering what Gan Ning was going to do next.

It's just that Tai Shici didn't have the nerve to ask, since he only gave the order and didn't read it out, it means it's a secret order.

The secret order must involve some things that are not easy to spread, so Tai Shici didn't have the nerve to speak up.

Jin Yiwei nodded, gestured to Gan Ning, and left quickly.

After Jin Yiwei left, Gan Ning cupped his fists at Tai Shici as a signal.

"Brother Ziyi, I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I won't play chess with you here."

Tai Shici hastily clasped his fists in response.

"Brother Xingba, hurry up and get busy."

After finishing speaking, Gan Ning went straight down, although it was still a long time before night.

It's just that what he wants to do is very important, and he must allocate manpower to go secretly in advance, and he must set off when it is dark.

Order many men and horses to bring tools, so that men and horses must be recruited in advance and these people must be notified.

With the order issued, Liu Zheng didn't need to make any more preparations.

He only needs to order Zu Lang, who has been patrolling the Han River, to prepare more ships to come near Xiangyang City.

The next step is to wait for the Han River to be excavated by Gan Ning's men and horses.

It was getting dark soon.

While Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others were still waiting here.

Gan Ning had already brought his 500 soldiers and horses to the location marked in advance, and walked in the dark.

The excavation site is these days, and Liu Zheng has sent someone to arrange it.

Already marked.

When Gan Ning brought people here in the dark, it was easy to find the marked place.

The lieutenant turned to look at Gan Ning.

"General, what are we doing here so late?"

"What to do? Of course it's a big deal. I don't know why I asked you to bring the shovels?"

"I saw that the dam was not dug for me!"

"What! Dig this dam?!"

The lieutenant was surprised when he heard it.

Some looked at Gan Ning in disbelief.

But Gan Ning waved his hands and immediately calmed down.

"Don't worry, digging the dam here is just following orders, and I will bear all the consequences!"

At this moment, Gan Ning can roughly think of what Liu Zheng is going to do when he gives him this order.

It's just that he can't explain it well to these soldiers.

Although the deputy general was able to guess something, he didn't continue to ask more questions, because there were some things he shouldn't know and couldn't ask.

After all, they just need to follow orders.

So soon a group of people started to get busy here.

Gan Ning also threw himself into the excavation.

This dike is the weakest point in the vicinity.

It is also relatively close to Fancheng.

Due to the rapid excavation by Gan Ning and others, a large area was soon dug out because there were enough people.

Digging any further would cause the dike to collapse.

But Gan Ning was not afraid of this at all.

The current on the river is very fast at this moment, and with the help of moonlight, nothing can be seen.

After digging for two hours, it was almost midnight.

The soldiers led by Gan Ning dug a big gap in the embankment.
