Liu Zhang frowned and looked ahead for a long time. The trees moved slightly and the river flowed slowly. He said to Wang Xu beside him: "Military advisor, this marquis must now be Zhuge Liang's premeditation. We cannot march so smoothly."
Gao Pei disagreed and said, "Lord, I think you think Zhuge Liang is too amazing. He is not an individual yet. Besides, even if he is a monster, we have heavy cavalry, and most of the cavalry are equipped with stirrups and horseshoes.
What can he do if he throws a gun? No matter how smart he is, he must be able to beat us."
"That's right, that's right." The generals agreed.
Wang Xu didn't say a word, and a whistle came from a distance.
"Report to the lord and military advisor, we investigate the enemy situation. The water level of Jingshui in front has dropped and there are obvious signs of water and wetness. The upstream must be intercepted."
The generals looked at each other and discussed it all over. Huang Zhong said, "I thought Zhuge Villager could come up with some clever plan. It turned out that he had spent so much effort to come and show off his skills in front of the military advisor."
Wang Xu ordered: "General Gao Pei, immediately lead troops to the upper reaches of Jing River, but when encountering Liang army, he will be killed without any hesitation."
"yes."
Now in May, the seasonal rain has not arrived yet, and the river water is low. Unless Zhuge Liang's head is rusted, how could he use river water like Jingshui to flood the Sichuan Army's more than 200,000 troops? Wang Xu would not believe that the Liang Army intercepted the flow.
It's for flooding.
After a while, the "rumbling" sound exploded like a huge thunder. Then the Sichuan soldiers saw the surging waves above the Jing River, and Gao Pei rolled and crawled back.
"Military advisor, those turtle lambs broke the dam early and almost drowned me."
Wang Xu ordered the soldiers to retreat, which was actually unnecessary. Judging from the amount of water that broke the Jing River, Zhuge Liang had been storing floods for more than a month. However, there was a plain river in front of the Sichuan Army, and it was full of water-absorbing loose soil. When the flood washed down, the momentum quickly changed.
slow.
After rushing for a long time, the flood had subsided. The hillside down on the upstream were full of trees washed down by the flood. The river water below flowed slowly in the bush forest, washing the new shrub leaves in spring to the green.
"I seem to understand what Zhuge Liang means." Liu Zhang frowned and said, "The area around Yongbei is severely desertified, especially when it is facing the Qinchuan intersection. The mountain wind is extremely strong, and the strong winds blow for years, so that the soil is not sticky. The flood rushes.
, a quagmire formed immediately, and the cavalry was difficult to get through.
When the flood is over, the seasonal rain will come again. If Zhuge Liang sends troops to defend the east bank of the Jing River, our army will attack from the mud and will never fly over. This is a natural barrier that God has lent to Zhuge Liang.
Although Qinchuan Road is dangerous, our army has barbarians attacking the mountains, which is better than this mud. In this way, it will delay our army for at least one month. If there is a lot of rain this summer, we will not be able to cross the Jing River. Zhuge Liang used those dozens of them.
Daoda Village. Just wait for the rainy season.”
"What a sinister intention." He took a breath of air.
"This demon is so sinister. I, Wang Shuang, really want to slash him with one knife."
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Wang Xu suddenly spoke, "The lord said it right. Zhuge Liang stayed in Jieting for half a month, and used more than a dozen big villages to delay time. However, the dangerous situation at the Qinchuan intersection was almost useless, and he was just waiting for this moment.
But what Zhuge Liang wants is not to delay us, but to destroy us."
Wang Xu forgot about the sun in the sky with dizzy sun, his head was a little dizzy, "It's May poisonous moon, and the epidemic is rampant. Lord, look at the mountains and forests, the trees are dense and the fallen leaves are accumulated very deep. If our army camps
If there is a slight negligence, once the fire breaks out, my more than 200,000 troops will be wiped out."
Liu Zhang's heart was shocked. Wang Xu's words suddenly reminded him of Lu Xun's battle against Liu Bei's Yiling, which was almost exactly the same as Zhuge Liang now. He first took the initiative to give up important cities, and then set up camps step by step, delaying the time of Liu Bei's army's advance, and finally waited until the heat
In August, Liu Bei's army was burned down in one fell swoop.
I am now in May, not August, but the north and the south are different. The south is the most humid in May and it is difficult to catch fire.
May in the north is very dry. The Qinchuan intersection is full of dense forests and deep leaves, and they are all just a little bit. Especially the terrain is high here. The strong wind blowing from the northwest just passes here and blows towards the land of Guanzhong.
Taking advantage of the wind, once the fire starts, the fire burns the camp, and even the gods cannot save themselves.
Liu Zhang felt scared in his heart. Zhuge Liang was indeed a demon. If it weren't for Wang Xu's reminder, he would have almost become immersed in his judgment. At that time, the three armies were buried in the fire and he would regret it.
"What are the solutions for military advisors?"
The mountain wind blew, and Wang Xu coughed violently, held the towel in his palm, smiled weakly, and said hoarsely: "Don't worry, lord, since you know Zhuge Liang's intention, there is a way to defeat him."
………………………………………
As Wang Xu expected, just after the flood, Zhuge Liang's army turned back and set up camps on the east bank of the Jingshui River to strictly guard against the Sichuan army crossing the river. Wang Xu ordered the Sichuan army to scattered camps. Each camp must be separated by thirty steps, and each camp
Soldiers, if they do not have a rotating mission, must clean up fallen leaves and fire-induced objects in a range of fifteen steps every day.
The Sichuan Army sent soldiers to carry stones and build bridges and pave roads in areas where the floods rushed. In this way, even if the rainy season comes, the cavalry can gallop smoothly and cross the Jing River in one fell swoop.
Of course, the Liang army would not let the Sichuan army do what they wanted. They repeatedly sent archers to harass and pave the way. The two sides launched countless small-scale battles around paving the way.
The Liang soldiers interfered in paving the road during the day, and scrambled across the Jing River at night, trying to burn the Sichuan Army camp. However, the Sichuan Army camp was prepared for a long time, and Wang Xu was inspecting every day, and the Liang army was repeatedly empty.
The drizzle fell down, and the paving road continued. Wang Xu patrolled the barracks in the rain and returned to the big tent. The personal soldiers collected the umbrella outside the guard door. Wang Xu had just pulled down the curtain and sat down to the ground, coughing violently.
His voice was hoarse and his whole body was weak.
I just arrived in Jingshui for two days, and I only coughed occasionally. Since it started to rain, the rain in May was the most gloomy. In addition, the wind in the wilderness in this place was very strong. Wang Xu inspected the barracks every day and his condition became worse and worse.
Once the disease occurs, it feels like it is about to be exhausted.
The footsteps sounded outside, and Wang Xu struggled to get up, put away his towel, and sat on the seat. Liu Zhang walked in from outside and saw Wang Xu’s face pale, so he hurried forward.
"Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wang Xu shook his head: "Lord, I'm okay. Today I went to check the barracks and the soldiers set fires very well, but I found another problem. There are many fallen leaves here. After it rains, the epidemic is very heavy, and the wind is strong, and
It was the time of the season change, and many soldiers were sick.
Colds are most likely to be contagious during the season change. The lord needs to take precautions and mobilize more herbs from the rear. Wang Xu now writes several military orders, prohibiting drinking raw water and eating raw food, and not picking up dead animals in the forest, otherwise the injuries and illnesses will be severe.
serious……"
"Sir, stop talking." Liu Zhang looked at Wang Xu's pale and powerless look and frowned: "I think Mr. is the person who is the most sick, and it's all my fault. Knowing that Mr. is seriously ill, he still lets him run along with the army.
To this day, this ghost place.”
"Don't worry, lord, I know my own body and I will definitely defeat Zhuge Liang."
In fact, Wang Xu knew in his heart that his body was not so optimistic. He was originally a seriously ill body. He blew the cold wind in the Western Qiang for a year. This time, he conquered Yongliang. Wherever he passed, he was a bitter and cold place. This Qin
At the intersection of Sichuan Road, strong winds are blowing every day.
After the rain, the strong wind was even colder, as if it was carrying a sword, and there was also a miasma caused by the accumulated leaves soaked in the rain. He inspected the barracks every day, which was related to more than 200,000 troops. Wang Xu was really worried if he didn't inspect them personally.
In this way, the condition worsens every day.
Wang Xu knew that he couldn't last long, but the more he did so, the more Wang Xu wanted to defeat Zhuge Liang while he was alive. Otherwise, the Sichuan Army would lose its mastermind and it would be even more difficult to defeat Zhuge Liang.
Although he was not healthy, Wang Xu had a plan in his mind. According to the current paving speed, at most one month, the entire army could cross the Jingshui River. It was a smooth road east of the Jingshui River. Even if Zhuge Liang was a genius, he would not be able to deal with it in that place.
I got my own heavy cavalry and gun troop.
As long as you pass the Jingshui River, the Sichuan Army will win and Zhuge Liang will lose. At that time, the main force of the Liang Army was completely defeated. Even if he died, with his lord's talent, he could still fight Zhuge Liang and then recruit Jingzhou Fazheng, and Yongliang would enter the Sichuan Army.
Hand.
In that way, I would be in peace in my heart.
Wang Xu thought to himself, but he didn't say it to Liu Zhang, and just said that he was fine, so that Liu Zhang could feel at ease.
After Liu Zhang went out, Wang Xu took out his pen and before he could write two words, he coughed continuously, his whole body was weak, and his forehead was slightly feverish. After taking some medicine, he lay down and rested for about half an hour, and then got up again.
It was drizzling outside. Wang Xu wrote down military orders to prevent epidemics under the oil lamp at rainy night. After writing, he thought about it and took out another piece of white paper.
"Lord, when you saw this letter, Wang Xu was no longer there..."
Wang Xu was writing while coughing. When he wrote the last few words, he finally couldn't hold on. He coughed violently for a few times, vomited blood, dyeing the letters with black and white letters bright red, and Wang Xu fainted on the letter.
…………
It was drizzling lightly, and the Sichuan army did not fall day and night. Under the attack of the Liang army, it took twenty days to pave the mud on both sides of the Jingshui River and successfully build bridges. The time for the Sichuan army to fight against the Liang army was about to come.
Zhuge Liang came to the east bank of Jingshui in a wooden cart and watched the Sichuan army leave the camp with a smile.
The two armies faced each other, and the mountain wind blew the flags, and the Liang army set up a two-meter-high stone platform on the left wing of the formation.
Huang Zhong stepped out of the formation and raised his sword to shout at the Liang army formation: "Zhuge Villageman, let you be cunning, flooded, fire attacks, and epidemics, all conspiracies and tricks will be discovered by our military advisors one by one.
Now that the battle is in full swing, I see what tricks do you have? Liang Jun, who dares to fight me Huang Zhong?" (To be continued)
