Chapter 620
From Chang'an to Shouyang, from Shouyang to Didao, and from Didao to Jincheng, there is a steady stream of fleets and caravans shuttling. The powerful transport capacity of the Lucheng Army has completely suppressed the gentry in Longxi. Even Taoshui has boats every day. The team patrolled back and forth.

Ma Teng was ordered by Han Sui to harass the food roads of the Lucheng Army, but the boats kept coming and going, and Ma Teng couldn't take the opportunity to cross the Taoshui quietly.

It's not that Ma Teng never thought of flooding Didao, but Didao was the place where Ma Teng started his family, not to mention feelings, the homes of all the soldiers under Ma Teng's command were there.

Flooded Didao City?
Ma Teng was the first to refuse.

Ma Teng's confidant looked at the continuous caravans on the other side, and said to Ma Teng, "My lord, why do the Lucheng Army have so many supplies to transport?"

Ma Teng sneered, Lucheng Army is famous for having a lot of armor and good food, so it is not rare to have so many supplies, Ma Teng is concerned about the patrol boats back and forth, Liu Bei pays such a big budget, it seems that Xiliang must be settled this time up?
Ma Teng stared at the fleet for a long time, and said: "Send people to Jincheng, they say that the Lucheng army is heavily guarded, we can't cross the Taoshui at all, let alone harass the Lucheng army's grain road."

"Here!"

The fleet of the Lucheng Army was patrolling the Taoshui, and the road to Jincheng from across the Taoshui was blocked. If you want to go to Jincheng, you can only cross the river and take a detour to Jincheng.

It's the second day since Ma Teng's envoy arrived in Jincheng. Han Sui couldn't help but be speechless after receiving the report. The Lucheng Army is indeed a big business, but his purpose is to distract the Lucheng Army's attention. Han Sui didn't care.

Immediately, Han Sui wrote a letter to Ma Teng, first ordering Ma Teng to forcibly cross Taoshui in stern words, then explaining his difficulties in gentle words, and finally begging Ma Teng to forcibly cross Taoshui.

Han Sui sent Ma Teng's envoy away, and said to his confidant, "Is there any change in Cheng Gongying these two days?"

"My lord, no, everything is normal."

"Where is the person who delivered the letter to Cheng Gongying?"

"The man was very vigilant. After finding out that someone was following him, Tun Jin committed suicide."

"Dead man?"

Han Suidao: "This must be a dead soldier raised by the Lucheng Army. Cheng Gongying's release is the biggest divorce plan. I hate that someone still doubts Gongying? Come on, go to fight."

Outside Jincheng, the generals of the Lucheng Army have been fighting outside the city in different ways. Unfortunately, no one in Jincheng dared to fight. Han Sui suddenly sent someone to fight, and the generals were still a little uncomfortable.

Liu Bei immediately invited Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, and Zhang Ji to discuss after receiving the letter of war.

Jia Xu fanned the paper fan and said: "The weather is so hot these few days. According to the situation in Jincheng in previous years, it has already been raining heavily, but it hasn't stopped yet. It seems that there must be a heavy rain soon."

Liu Bei nodded. It is common sense that there must be heavy rain after the sweltering heat.

"De Jong, how are you preparing for the flood?"

Jincheng is located on the edge of a basin. When the flood comes, the entire Jincheng area will become a flooded country. Naturally, boats are needed to deal with the flood. It is impossible to build a large boat now. But in order to better protect his elite, Liu Bei ordered people to collect a large number of cattle and sheepskins. , and then made into cattle and sheep skin rafts to protect life.

In fact, Liu Bei can also choose to retreat. However, once he retreats, even if he conquered Shu and fought against Xianbei, it is impossible for Liu Bei to go west to Xiliang in a few years. , Liu Bei must perish in the battle on both sides, so he did not hesitate to take a risk.

"According to my lord's instructions, almost everyone has one, and they can connect with each other. Relying on our own camp, it shouldn't be a problem to stop the first wave of flood."

Zhang Jidao.

In fact, the most powerful attack of the flood is the first wave. As long as there is a lifebuoy to survive the first wave, it is impossible to freeze to death in summer. Coupled with the rescue boats by the Taoshui River, the loss will definitely not be too great.

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, and said to Xi Zhicai: "It seems that Cheng Gongying really wants to join us. I hope he can tell us the time of breaking the embankment in advance."

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this will be very difficult. The time for breaking the embankment should be at the discretion of Han Sui, but it can also be at our discretion. The premise is to break the embankment in advance."

"Break the embankment early?"

Liu Bei was stunned. Once the embankment was broken ahead of time, the losses of the Lucheng Army could be reduced a lot, but the Jincheng area would have to be a whole country for a few months. Isn't this a bit expensive?
Jia Xu also stroked his beard, and seemed to agree with Xi Zhicai's statement.

But Zhang Ji said: "I'm afraid this will hurt the benevolence of the Lord!"

Xi Zhicai snorted, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Let's discuss this matter again. The most urgent thing now is to fight Han Sui. Since he wants to act with us, we have to act with him."

Liu Bei said so, but he already agreed with Xi Zhicai's approach in his heart. Breaking the embankment in advance will cause the least damage to the Lucheng army, and the embankment breaching for several months can completely destroy the Jincheng. In exchange for ten years of tranquility.

The lives of 10,000+ Qianghu people were exchanged for ten years of peace for the great Han.worth.

Three days later, Liu Bei fought head-on with Han Sui's army as promised. Because the weather was too hot, most of Han Sui's troops only wore single clothes, and the Lucheng army was still in armor. .

Zhi Yuanduo, Ju Yan, Jiang Shi and others cooperated with Yang Wanwan and Li Gui to form a front battalion to attack Han Sui's army. Han Sui ordered Zhang Jin, He Luan and others to attack them.

Zhi Yuanduo, Ju Yan, Jiang Shi, Zhang Jin, and He Luan are also old enemies. Although Zhi Yuanduo and others are slightly smaller in number, the Lucheng Army has allocated them a lot of armor, bows and arrows. The outcome gradually unfolded, and the balance of victory was clearly in favor of Zhi Yuanduo and the others.

Seeing this, Han Sui hurriedly sent King Shaodang Qiang to attack the right wing of the Lucheng army, and he personally led the army to attack the left wing of the Lucheng army.

Liu Bei used the tribes of Han Meng, Xiahoulan, and Lv Meng to attack King Shaodang Qiang, and the tribes of Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu to attack Han Sui.

The battle lasted from noon until dark before both sides withdrew their troops.

For three consecutive days, the two armies fought hard every day for a long time.

Han Sui intended to delay time while consuming other powerful forces in Liangzhou, and Liu Bei did the same. The smaller the power of Zhiyuanduo, Ju Yan, Li Gui, Yang Wanwan and other powerful forces in Xiliang were weakened, the easier it would be for the Lucheng Army to control Xiliang. cold.

Xiliang Haoyou is not stupid, so he can naturally see the methods of Han Sui and Han Sui. However, Lu Chengjun and Han Sui are both powerful, so they have no choice but to appoint them, otherwise they will use the order of resistance to deal with them.

"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this, otherwise we won't be able to hold on if the Lucheng Army doesn't run away."

The thoughtful Li Jue was told by the witch, and immediately went to Shaodang Qiang King to present his interests.

"Then according to General Li, what should we do now?"

Although King Shaodang Qiang was called the Great King, he was actually the puppet of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Li Jue said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that a Lucheng army has entered the Qiang area. Your Majesty should bid farewell to Han Sui."

"Farewell? Do you agree to the Korean date?"

Li Jue snorted coldly: "Is it possible? I'm afraid I can't let him?"
