Chapter 919 Yan Liang expects the enemy to take the lead
On the east bank of the Fen River, on the avenue, the endless army is moving forward quickly.
The imperial flag of Da Chu is flying in the rustling autumn wind.
Yan Liang sat on the crotch and ran away.
The 200,000 army has already started from Pingyang City. Yan Liang's goal is naturally to wipe out Jin State and achieve the goal of unifying the world.
"Report~~" the scout rushed to the scene, "Thirty miles ahead is Yong'an County. The Jin army guarded Yong'an and did not continue to retreat north."
Yan Liang blocked the war horse and looked north from afar. A hint of suspicion appeared in the eagle's eyes.
"So quickly send Xu Yuanzhi to see me." Yan Liang shouted with a whip.
In the previous period, Xu Shu led his army to Pubanjin to resist the attack of the Xianbei Yu tribe. Now that Sima Yi's main force has fled, the Yumen Xianbei troops naturally did not dare to fight again, and hurriedly retreated north.
After Xu Shuhe retreated to the Hulu, he left an army to defend Pubanjin, and led an army to meet Yan Liang's main force at night.
Xu Shu and Zhang Liao guarded Hedong for many years and knew the terrain of Bingzhou well. Now that Yan Liang has destroyed Jin, he naturally has to bring Xu Shu, a general with him.
Not long after, Xu Shu ran from behind.
"Yuanzhi, what is the terrain of Yong'an County?" Yan Liang asked.
Xu Shu thought for a moment and bowed, "Your Majesty, Yong'an is only a small county, its city is not strong, and the surrounding terrain is still relatively open. Only when you pass Yong'an County and enter Xihe County, will the terrain become more and more popular.
The more steep it is.”
Xu Shu's answer made Yan Liang's suspicion even more intense.
He asked, "Just just now, the scouts returned, saying that Sima Yi was stationing the army in Yong'an, and he pretended not to escape again and wanted to stick to Yong'an. What do you think about Yuanzhi?"
"Sima Yi wants to stick to Yong'an?" Xu Shu seemed a little surprised. "Sima Yi is extremely cunning. He hasn't reached the point where he has no way out, so how could he choose to be fought in the water?"
Yan Liang nodded slightly. The wise man saw something similar. Xu Shu was indeed the same as himself, and he was suspicious of Sima Yi's actions.
"In addition, even if Sima Yi wants to fight against the enemy, he should be elected as a terrain that is beneficial to him. Yong'an should not be the one who is." Xu Shu added.
"Well, what Yuan Zhi thought. Just like my guess, Sima Yi is as cunning as a wolf, so he should not underestimate the enemy." Yan Liang nodded and expressed his approval of Xu Shu's analysis.
Then he asked again: "That is the opinion of Yuanzhi. Should I pursue it now or not."
Xu Shu pondered for a moment and bowed, "I think that Your Majesty should send a light cavalry army to approach Yong'an under the banner of Your Majesty. See what tricks Sima Yi can do. If he really has a plan, my Shenxing Cavalry can also withdraw immediately.
.Make Sima Yi unable to succeed.”
Yan Liang deeply agreed and decided to adopt Xu Shu's plan.
At that moment, Yan Liang called Zhao Yun and ordered him to lead 10,000 gods to continue to go north. He also asked the knights to hold more flags to create a situation where the Chu army headed north.
Zhao Yun led his army to leave, but Yan Liang asked the army to station. When he explored what Sima Yi had intent in the Qing Dynasty, it would not be too late to advance again.
...
Two days later, Yong'an City.
Sima Yi had a deep brow. He stood at the top of the city, and his eagle eyes stared coldly at the south.
Looking up from a distance, I saw a faint dust rising from the south. People who were a little military officer would know at a glance that there must be cavalry coming.
Sima Yi sneered a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and a little mystery flashed in his eyes.
Soon, the scout flew back to the city and brought back the love, which confirmed Sima Yi's guess.
The scouts said that tens of thousands of Chu troops were rushing towards Yong'an County along the east bank of the Fen River. Looking at the flag formation of the Chu army, there were at least 70,000 to 80,000 people.
"Seventy or eighty thousand people should be the main front army of the Chu army. Your Majesty, Yan Thief, was indeed deceived." Jia Kui said to Sima Yi with joy.
Sima Yi sneered and waved his hand and said, "Tell me my will and the whole army will retreat north of the city."
The decree was passed down and stationed in Yong'an County. The Jin army, who had been wearing armor for a long time, hurried out from the north gate and retreated towards Xihe County.
Sima Yi followed the army out of the city, ran for more than ten miles, and stopped moving forward on the east bank of the Fen River.
At this time, a camp was stationed on the river bank, with nearly 5,000 Jin troops sweating profusely by the Fen River.
"Tell Wang Ling the order to take action immediately and open the Fen River embankment to me." Sima Yi shouted sternly.
The scout rushed out and headed straight for Jinying by the river.
Wang Ling had been waiting in the camp for a long time. He led more than 10,000 Jin troops and spent several days to dug the Fen River embankment by a hundred feet.
Now that Sima Yi's order was received, Wang Ling urged his soldiers to join forces and five thousand men to join forces, and soon the river bank was completely opened.
As soon as the river bank opened, the rolling Fen River water surged out, and soon overflowed the camp and rolled towards Yong'an County downstream.
At this time, Wang Ling had led the troops who dug the dike and retreated to the north to meet with Sima Yi's main force of the Jin army.
Because of this terrain, the Fen River water that broke the dike and rolled straight downstream, but could not endanger the Jin army that had retreated to the upper reaches.
Sima Yi stayed at a high place, looking at the surging flood from afar, and a slight smile hooked on the corner of his mouth, unable to suppress his complacency in his heart.
"Your Majesty's plan is really wonderful. The Chu army thought it could catch up with our army, but never expected that it would be flooded by the flood. Yan Zhe really brought up a stone and shot himself in the foot. Your Majesty's wiseness."
Wang Ling was extremely excited. He praised Sima Yi and looked down upon Yan Liang.
Sima Yi smiled without saying a word, proud and proud.
He stationed his troops in Yong'an, pretending to fight back and forth, in order to lure the Chu army to pursue him, but he secretly sent Wang Ling to dig up the river embankment upstream.
The reason why Sima Yi broke the dam upstream was to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Chu army so that the Chu army could come with peace of mind.
Although the Chu army is close now, he only needs to go north of Yong'an to use floods to block the pursuit of the Chu army, and even use the flood to severely damage the unexpected Chu army.
Although it is golden now, the water potential of the northern water systems is weak, but the Fen River is the largest river in Bingzhou. Its river is slightly higher than the ground in Yong'an. Once the river bank is opened, the flood situation formed should not be small.
watch for.
Now that Sima Yi's plan has been completed, he is not in a hurry to escape now, but has only stayed upstream, waiting for a good show of flooding the Chu army.
"As soon as the flood rushes, the people of Yong'an County will suffer. What a pity..." Jia Kui sighed a little.
Wang Ling snorted coldly: "For the sake of the overall situation, sacrifice is inevitable. Prime Minister Jia cannot be a woman's kindness."
Wang Ling had a hidden sarcasm in his words, and Jia Kui didn't say much, just sneered and said nothing.
The flood was surging, and it rushed southward, and it soon spread to Yong'an County.
At this moment, the people in the nearby villages did not know that the Jin army was digging the embankment and was still working in the fields, and they did not realize that the danger had arrived.
As a result, many people in the villages near Yong'an were flooded by floods because they could not escape water.
The water that was swept through quickly hit Yong'an County. Although the water was only knee-length, it was enough to soak the entire county town in water and turned into a vast area of water.
The water overflowed Yong'an, and the water was slightly weak, but it continued to roll downstream in a fierce manner.
At this moment, more than 10,000 Chu army god-riding cavalry led by Zhao Yun had just been killed in Yong'an City for several miles.
"General, it seems like there is a flood in front of you!" The scout rushed over and shouted.
"Wow~~" Zhao Yun stopped the war horse. He felt suspicious and rode his horse in front of the army, raising his eyes to look at the distance.
Sure enough, the yellow water several miles ahead was rolling towards his army.
This scene made the Chu soldiers look very surprised.
"The rainy season has passed, how could there be a sudden flood in Bingzhou?" Zhao Yun was suspicious and suddenly looked moved, "Can it be that Sima Yi actually dug the Fen River!"
The thought flashed, and Zhao Yun immediately concluded that there was no possibility of such a flood except for Sima Yi digging the river embankment.
It was then that he suddenly realized that Sima Yi was stationed in Yong'an and pretending to fight against the enemy. It turned out that he was not to defend the city to the death, but to lure their Chu army to attack, so that the flood could flood the army.
"What a Sima Yi, she is really cunning and insidious." Zhao Yun couldn't help but curse.
At this moment, Zhao Yun couldn't help but admire Yan Liang's judgment again.
"It turns out that Your Majesty had expected Sima Yi to use a trick, so the infantry army had not moved, so I just sent me to lead the light army to bluff and investigate. Fortunately, Your Majesty was prepared for it. Otherwise, these tens of thousands of infantry soldiers would be killed here, Hongshui
As soon as I came, I had to be severely injured..."
Zhao Yun was deeply moved, and with admiration for Yan Liang, he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat south immediately.
The order was passed down, and ten thousand gods rode on horseback and turned, and immediately ran towards him.
Although the flood was powerful, its speed was limited after all, so how could it be as fast as the horses running? In just a short time, the flood was left behind by the Chu army and could no longer be seen.
Zhao Yun did not dare to underestimate him. While sending scouts to the north to report the flood situation at any time, he also sent people to go south to report to Yan Liang.
North of Yong'an County, Jin army highland.
Sima Yi simply sat down immediately, sat on the ground, and tasted the wine gracefully.
The water in front of me was surging, and the wine in my mouth was mellow. Sima Yi was so proud.
A painting like this appeared in his mind:
More than 100,000 Chu soldiers came in a fierce manner, but were scared by the sudden flood. Thousands of Chu soldiers were swallowed by the flood, and Yan Liang was chased by the flood and fled in a panic...
When Sima Yi was thinking of Yan Liang's frightened and embarrassed look, he was smiling.
If we can not fight in this battle, we will destroy the main force of the Chu army. His Jin army does not need to retreat. We just need to follow the flood and go south to completely destroy the Chu army.
If one can achieve his merits in one battle, let alone capture Hedong, even if the troops enter the Central Plains and wipe out the Chu State in one fell swoop, it may not be impossible.
"God helps me, God helps me, haha~~" Sima Yi became more and more wonderful as he thought about it, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.
Just then, a scout rushed from the west bank.
In order to monitor the movements of the Chu army, Sima Yi deployed a large number of scouts on the west bank. Since the west bank was not affected by heavy floods, these scouts could monitor the movements of the Chu army at will from the other side of the bank.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Chu army is all light cavalry, and has retreated far away and has not been injured by the flood."
