"It's really a good calculation!" Zhao Yun slapped the table and said: "The Wei army on the north bank is stationed in a place that is not suitable for crossing the river, which further proves that our inference is correct!" ”

"yes!" Zhang Ren nodded and said, "I don't want Wei Guo to lose his conscience so much and come up with such a vicious scheme." ”

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "But if he really succeeds, we will be covered by the flood, and the floods in the land of Yan, Xu, and Yu will be raging, and the Wei State will really have a chance to breathe, and the destruction of the Wei State will definitely be far away!" ”

Although the Han army does not have many soldiers and horses here, only 30,000 or 40,000 people, there are many generals, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi, Zhang Ren, and Huo Jun, but they are senior generals of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, there is also the great Sima Zhuge Liang, a leader above 10,000 people under one person.

Once it is damaged here, the impact on the Han is not insignificant.

It's like the battle of Xiangfan and the battle of Yiling in history hit Shu Han.

Zhang Ren groaned: "Tomorrow I will send someone to the south to get some cotton clothes from the city we have built to keep the soldiers on patrol warm." lest they not patrol because of the cold, and this matter must be cautious, otherwise it is easy to make a big mess. ”

"That's great!" Zhao Yun nodded.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren sent hundreds of cavalry to patrol along the Yellow River and in the high section of the riverbed, and this matter was soon known to Zhong Yu on the north bank.

After all, Zhong Yu was stationed on the north bank to attract the attention of the Han army and prevent the Han army from strengthening its vigilance on the section of the river with a high upstream riverbed.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, in the Wei army camp.

Zhong Yu was anxious to walk back and forth in the tent: "How can this be good?" How good is that? I am obviously stationed downstream, why is the Shu army patrolling upstream? Did they perceive it? Where is the horse's feet exposed? ”

Now that it is winter, Zhong Yu is so anxious that he is sweating profusely.

Zhong Yu is not in a hurry, and the plan to break the embankment is the only possibility for Wei to turn around, if it is because of him, this plan cannot be achieved, then he will not become a sinner of Wei through the ages.

Zhong Yu carefully recalled his actions in the past two days, and after thinking for a long time, Zhong Yu finally made sure that he did not show his feet.

After thinking about it, Zhong Yu decided to tell Zhao Yan about this matter and asked him to call the shots.

Because the Han army was stationed in the village, the inspection was arranged in the section of the river with a high riverbed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, so the inspection of the area around Baima City was not strong.

Therefore, the people sent by Zhong Yu arrived in White Horse City safe and sound.

Zhong Yu did not tell the messenger the secret of the plan to break the embankment, but asked the messenger to bring a letter to Zhao Yan.

However, Zhong Yu was not sure whether the Han army knew about Wei's plan to break the levee, or perhaps it was for other reasons that they patrolled upstream. So the Han army didn't know about this plan, and this letter was intercepted by the Han army, which was really self-defeating.

So Zhong Yu dealt with the tools for sending letters.

The tool for sending the letter is a bamboo tube, divided into two sections, the lower part is filled with water, and the upper section is filled with letters.

Therefore, if a soldier encounters danger, he can destroy the letter by removing the water spring and turning the bamboo tube upside down.

"General, this is the letter that Zhong asked me to bring to you, please open it in person!"

The messenger personally delivered the letter to Zhao Yan.

"It's actually a letter sent in this way, is it a big deal?" Zhao Yan took the bamboo tube, and when he saw Zhong Yu sending the letter in this way, his face couldn't help but become solemn.

Opening the bamboo tube, Zhao Yan took out the letter and looked at it.

"Smack!" After reading the letter, Zhao Yan slapped the table and shouted angrily: "What is this Zhong Yu doing? I have entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, and he dares to bear me! ”

Zhao Yan blew his beard angrily and glared, thinking that Zhao Yun sent cavalry to patrol upstream, and it must be Zhong Yu who accidentally leaked the secret.

Zhao Yan hated himself for using people inappropriately, Wen Qin ran a lot, and Zhong Yu only went out for a day before he leaked such a major secret.

It's just that after the anger, Zhao Yan calmed down again, and carefully read the letter, on which Zhong Yu stated himself, saying that he acted completely according to Zhao Yan's instructions and did not tell anyone the secret.

and made an analysis of Zhao Yan, saying that the Han army patrolling upstream, may not know the plan to break the embankment, but have another plan.

Zhao Yan muttered: "If Zhong Yu didn't show his feet, the news didn't leak out, and the Shu army didn't patrol downstream, but went to patrol the upstream where no one was around, what was the purpose?" Why didn't my plan succeed? ”

Zhao Yan was so incomprehensible in his heart that his brain exploded, and he couldn't think of a reason.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yan said in his heart: "It's better to let Zhong Yu send a small force to cross the river and attack the Shu army, and see if you can attract the attention of the Shu army back." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan wrote a letter and asked the messenger to take it back and give it to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu received the reply, and immediately selected the elite and prepared to act according to the order.

The next day, Zhong Yu sent 200 selected soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River and go to the south bank to carry out the work of raiding.

The two hundred soldiers and horses were all cavalry, and they were transported by large ships. When the cavalry arrived on the south bank, they gathered as a group, and when they encountered the cavalry patrolling the Han army, they pursued and killed, and when they encountered a populated village, they killed and plundered.

The news quickly reached the mouth of Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren: "General, the Wei army on the other side of the Yellow River sent two hundred cavalry to cross the river, and several patrols of our army were discovered by them, all of them were killed, and they also plundered several nearby villages. ”

"How can it be!" Zhao Yun was furious when he heard this: "Send me cavalry to destroy them!" ”

"Zilong is angry!" Seeing this, Zhang Ren hurriedly held down Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "The Wei army can't sit still, we just sent people to guard upstream, and they sent people to sabotage downstream."

What's the point of them doing that? What can those two hundred cavalry do? There is no use at all! Aren't they doing this to attract our attention?

There are not many people in those villages, we should focus on the overall situation, you must know that there are still 3,000 soldiers and horses in the White Horse City, if the troops are too scattered, I am afraid that the army will be defeated!

Don't pay attention to him, Wei Jun naturally retreated. Even the soldiers and horses patrolling on the south bank can be transferred back, we are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and we are not afraid of his Wei army. ”

"It's good!" Zhao Yun sat down when he heard this.

Three days passed.

In the past three days, Zhong Yu

In the past three days, Zhong Yu continued to send cavalry to cross the river, but the Han army did not pay attention to him at all, but withdrew the patrol soldiers and horses on the south bank, but on the north bank, the cavalry did not move.

This time, Zhong Yu and Zhao Yan were completely panicked!

In White Horse City, Zhao Yan was at a loss: "I'm afraid that most of the Shu army knows about it, is there a spy in my Wei country?" Leaked the matter? No, I have to tell Sima Zhongda about this as soon as possible! ”
