Chapter 350

The army was still on its way. After slowing down, it went on for more than half a day. A sentinel sent back news that Chen Dao had received a message that he would temporarily hide when he arrived near Huayin county.

At the same time, another sentinel reported that Yan Liang's army had also camped.

According to the information sent back by the sentinel, Yan Liang is hiding in a low-lying position in the mountain. Knowing that this is the case, Zhang Xiu's heart is alive.

In the evening, troops were stationed.

After the army set up camp, Zhang Xiu called Huang Zhong and Gan Ning to take charge of everything in the camp, while Zhang Xiu quietly left the camp with Huang Zhong, Deng Zhan and Wang Yue, as well as the leading royal guards, and went to the place where Yan Liang's army was stationed.

The sentinel report is not comprehensive after all.

Zhang Xiu wants to prepare to deal with Yan Liang, must inquire about the situation personally.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu's position is not far from Yan Liang's garrison, which is more than ten miles away. Such a journey, Zhang Xiu and others riding on horseback, time is not long, then also close.

After several people approached, they put out the torch.

Although it's September now, a crescent moon rises into the sky. Under the bright moonlight, you can clearly see the situation on the ground.

Zhang Xiu with people, quickly climbed to a high ground, looking down at the location of Yan Liang camp.

I have to say that Yan Liang is also powerful.

This location is very remote, so it's really easy to hide. Especially near the camp, there are many woods all over the place, which increases the concealment of this area and makes it difficult to be found.

Its location is not the lowest part of the low-lying area.

Even if there is heavy rain, it will not be submerged first. If Chen had not found out early, Zhang Xiu would not have known that Yan Liang had arrived. Zhang Xiu looked at the sentry who was leading the way and asked, "after you inquired about Yan Liang, was there any water source near here?"

"Yes!"

The sentry nodded.

Zhang xiudao: "what is the situation?"

Thinking that he couldn't speak clearly, the sentry immediately squatted down, drew a rough landform on the ground with a branch, drew the area where Yan Liang was, and then said, "general, Yan Liang's location is a depression."

"The greatest advantage of this place is that there are woods around it, so it's easy to hide. But in fact, this area is lower than the surrounding ground. We have measured the size of the depression, which is about six li in circumference. "

"It's very wide."

"There are a lot of trees, some small rivers and plenty of water."

"Above the depression, just two miles away, there is a lake and a river path. This river is a branch of Weihe River. Although it's autumn and the river is not as turbulent as it is in summer, the current is also quite large. "

"That's about it," said the sentinel

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu is still pondering.

Huang Zhong said, "the Lord means to flood Yan Liang with the help of water?"

Zhang Xiu nodded: "Yan Liang's initiative to hide in the depression is like putting his head in front of me. Yan Liang is quite skillful in the art of war, but he did not consider the problem of flooding. Under such circumstances, we naturally can't miss the opportunity. We can act quietly. "

Zhang Xiu looked at the sentry again and said, "which direction is the lake and the river in the depression?"

The sentry replied, "the lake is in the southwest and the south. It's very large. The direction of the river's path is to the east of the depression. "

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu's face is full of smiles.

"In this way, we can dig the dam of the lake and dig a ditch to connect the river and the depression," Zhang said

The sentinel listened without a word.

Pang Tong added: "Lord, it would be better if there is rain in the near future. When a heavy rain came down, the river rose and the water level in the lake rose. At that time, flooding Yan Liang is the best way. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "it depends on whether the Lord appreciates us. No matter what, we must do so."

Pang Tong said, "my Lord is wise!"

Zhang Xiu looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, how do you do it? Should you know?"

"I see!"

Huang Zhong replied solemnly.

Zhang Xiu said, "let's go back to the barracks. When you go back, you should make arrangements as soon as possible. "

"Here it is

Huang Zhong should hold his fist.

Zhang Xiu led a group back to the army camp. It was still early in the morning before dawn. Gan Ning has never had a rest. At the moment when Zhang Xiu returns, Gan Ning comes and asks: "Lord, what's the situation like?"

After sitting down, Zhang Xiu said, "here comes the fighter."

At the moment, Zhang Xiu simply said the situation. Gan Ning was excited when she heard it, and said, "Yan Liang is so arrogant that he didn't consider the danger of the depression."

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us.""It's a matter of killing Yan Liang."

Gan Ning clenched his fist and said, "but we are only a few miles away from Huayin county. It may not be easy to excavate rivers and roads for water diversion in such a short period of time. "

Zhang Xiu said: "no harm, as long as more soldiers are sent, the distance of two miles, at most one day, is enough to complete the excavation. And we slowed down the speed of the road, and then it is normal to stop the troops. Tomorrow, when the army marches for an hour in the morning, it will stop to camp and stop on its way. "

"Here it is

Gan Ning nodded.

Zhang Xiu and Gan Ning discuss tomorrow's action plan before rest, Huang Zhong can't rest for the time being. He went back to his camp, quickly transferred the commander of the flying bear army, and asked the people to lead the soldiers of the flying bear army on their way all night to carry out the order.

Huang Zhong is all busy, and it's almost dawn. Huang Zhong didn't sleep at all. He washed his face with cold water to refresh himself and keep busy.

It's not long. It's bright.

The army set out for Huayin county. After walking for an hour, the army stopped and stationed in the same place, but did not continue to go to Huayin county. Half an hour later, it was discovered by Yan Liang's sentry.

The sentinel sent the news back to the hollow.

When Yan Liang got the news, he frowned and looked a little serious. He murmured, "Zhang Xiu is still more than 20 miles away from Huayin county. Is it difficult for Zhang Xiu not to enter the army, but to settle down? "

Yan Liang couldn't see through Zhang Xiu's actions.

The more Yan Liang couldn't see through, the more he didn't take any action in a hurry. Instead, he used static braking to arrange people to rush to Huayin county and tell Sui Gu the news, so that Sui Gu can stabilize his mind and don't be impatient.

Sui Gu got the news from Yan Liang. He was not impatient or sent troops.

His troops are only over 10000.

If you go out of the city to fight, it is tantamount to attacking the other's strong points with your own short points and giving up your biggest advantage.

This is what Sui Gu doesn't want.

Even if Yan Liang does not say, he will not send troops.

Sui Gu arranged for the soldiers to go out of the city to reply to Yan Liang's letter. Then he left the barracks and went up to the head of the city to inspect the defense on the head of the city to ensure that the defense on the head of the city was enough to block Zhang Xiu's attack.

When Sui Gu constantly strengthened his defense, the city's royal guards were stationed.

In Zhang Fang's house.

Yesterday, Zhang Fang also received a letter from Wang Yue about the change of the plan.

Originally, everything was ready for Zhang Fang, and there were 300 Rangers under his command. There are three hundred Rangers, enough to win the west gate of Huayin county and let Chen Dao lead the soldiers to kill them.

Unfortunately, the plan has changed.

Wang Yue's new plan for Zhang Fang is to let Zhang Fang contact the people in the city and persuade the big families in the city to turn to Zhang Xiu. After Sui Gu left Huayin county with his troops, Zhang Fang and the people in the city took over Huayin county and controlled the city.

This is a new plan.

The change of the plan has made Zhang Fang more difficult. But in Zhang Fang's view, it is not too difficult.

Towards noon, he had a general idea in his mind.
