Chapter 1239 Tunnel Warfare

Qin Hui, a generation of treacherous ministers, just died like this.

Although Qin Hui in this time and space has not committed any major mistakes, Qin Hui is too utilitarian. Liu Bian had promised Qin Hui benefits in order to win Jiangdong.If you wait for Jiangdong to settle down, and Qin Hui is really the governor of Yangzhou, Qin Hui will bring disaster to Yangzhou sooner or later.

So in order to prevent problems before they happen, Xie Xuan was constipated and took the opportunity to kill him.

Although this kind of thing is disgraceful, and it is not good for Qin Hui, it must be done for the stability of the country.

Moreover, Qin Hui deserved to die for deceiving others.

"Drag him down, but you can't spread the news of this person's death!" A sword stabbed Qin Hui to death, Xie Xuan wiped off the blood on the sword, and waved his hand to let the soldiers drag Qin Hui's body down .

After Qin Hui's body was dragged down, Zhang Liao asked, "Youdu killed this Liao directly, but he saw Lu Xun's intention."

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Lu Xun has already seen through Qin Hui's identity. He led his troops to chase and kill Qin Hui, but only took away his servants, but let Qin Hui go. Isn't it obvious?
The reason why Qin Hui was let back was because he didn't want to startle the snake and affect his plan.The reason why he robbed the servant was probably because he wanted to know why Qin Hui was so eager to escape. "

"Hmm..." Zhang Liao nodded, sat back on the commander-in-chief table, and pondered: "Since Lu Xun has seen through Qin Hui's identity and deliberately leaked the water attack plan to us, what is his purpose?"

"It's not difficult to guess!" Xie Xuan smiled and said, "I guess Lu Xun should have made two preparations. At the beginning, Lu Xun was not sure that Qin Hui was a spy, so he deliberately told Qin Hui the news. If Qin Hui If you are not a spy, you will implement the strategy of water attack.

If Qin Hui is a spy, he should have another plan! "

An older general of His Highness said: "Oh, you should stop being a fool, Youdu, explain it to me quickly!"

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Think about it, Qin Hui told us Lu Xun's plan to use water attack, how will we respond?"

A school lieutenant said without hesitation: "Haihun is located in a swampy low-lying area. The surrounding plains will not be able to stand once the flood comes. Now that we know that Lu Xun will use fire to attack, we will naturally move the camp to the high mountains!"

Xie Xuan said: "But there are no big mountains nearby. Once our army moves to a high place, the [-] troops will inevitably disperse. And after the heavy rain, it is often scorching sun. After three or two days of sunshine, it will be unbearably hot.

At that time, my [-] troops will be scattered and stationed on various mountains, and Lu Xun will join forces, so we can kill our army as we like?The easiest way is to shoot the rocket at the mountain forest, and our army may be wiped out in ashes. "

Hearing this, a general suddenly found himself in trouble: "Then this is really difficult. Now these cities cannot be conquered, and our army cannot go to high places to avoid the flood. I think we can only temporarily avoid the edge, retreat to Ai County, and wait. After the rainy season, come and attack!"

"Temporary avoidance?" Zhang Liao waved his hands again and again after hearing the words, and said, "If that's the case, our army will have to wait until September when the weather gets colder before returning. By then, the army will lose all spirit, and it will still be difficult to break through Lu Xun's defense."

The general said: "But now the upper reaches are in Lu Xun's defense zone. It is already mid-April, and the rainy season will come soon. Once Lu Xun cuts off the upper reaches and the floods come, our army will be unable to advance or retreat. What should we do?"

"Youdu, do you have a plan?" Zhang Liao was also a little embarrassed, and he refused to retreat, so he looked at Xie Xuan helplessly.

Xie Xuan pondered and said: "If the flood comes, you must retreat. If you don't want to retreat, you must take this Xiaoyang City!"

Zhang Liao wondered: "There are [-] defenders in Xiaoyang City. According to Qin Hui's letter, Zhu Zhi and his son are capable men. Our army may not be able to attack by force."

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Governor, I surveyed the terrain yesterday, and I already have a way to take down Xiaoyang."

Zhang Liao was overjoyed: "What is Youdu's plan, tell me quickly!"

Xie Xuan cupped his hands and said: "I surveyed the terrain yesterday and found that the soil around Xiaoyang City is loose. Our army can dig tunnels and break through Xiaoyang. The governor can send people to dig tunnels in the camp, and at the same time gather soil around the camp to form mountains They sent soldiers to cut down trees and build boats, so that Lu Xun only thought that our army was going to gather soil to form mountains to resist the flood!"

Zhang Liao asked: "Then Youdu estimates, how many days will our army be able to dig through the tunnel?"

Xie Xuan replied: "If the soil quality does not change, the tunnel can be dug within ten years!"

"Ten days should be enough!" Zhang Liao nodded, and ordered: "Go on, my [-] army will be divided into three divisions. The [-] army will be responsible for digging tunnels in the camp at night, and the [-] army will be responsible for digging tunnels in the camp during the day." Responsible for building earth hills on the nearby high plains. The [-] army is responsible for cutting down trees to build ships, and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses are responsible for patrolling and guarding against the enemy. It is not too late, and the heavy rain is not avoided, so let’s dig tunnels tonight!”

Afterwards, the Han army moved to dig tunnels in the camp.

By dawn, many mounds had gathered outside Xiaoyang City.

And after dawn, the Han army also left the camp. Some people went into the mountain to cut down trees, and some people went outside the camp to collect soil and gather on the mountain.

Of course, the Han army did not dare to dig tunnels in the camp during the day. Xiaoyang is located at a high place and can see the Han army camp clearly. Once the tunnel is dug in the daytime, when the Han army transports soil, it is bound to be noticed by the Jiangdong army, so The work of digging tunnels needs to be done at night.

Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Xiaoyang City saw the movement of the Han army, and quickly informed Zhu Zhi and his son.

The two stood on the top of the city, looking at the plain below.

The lieutenant said to the two: "General, when you wake up early in the morning, you can see the Han army busy building earth mountains and cutting down trees. What is the idea of ​​the Han army?"

Looking at the scene below the city, Zhu Zhi asked doubtfully, "If it's a siege, the earth mountain was built too far away from the city, and they went into the mountain to cut down trees? Is it to build siege equipment?"

Zhu Ran ordered: "Send a cavalry to see what the Han army intends to do by cutting down trees."

"No!" A general accepted the order, and immediately led a cavalry out of the city to investigate.

But after a while, the general returned and reported to Zhu Zhi and his son: "General Qi, the Han army is tightly guarded and our army cannot approach, but I also saw some movement. Build ships, rafts and whatnot!"

"Build boats and rafts?" Zhu Zhi was stunned: "Why did the Han army build boats and rafts?"

Zhu Ran pondered and said: "I think the Han army must have received some news. Let's tell Governor Lu Xun what happened here and ask him to make a decision."
