Chapter 404 The Flooded Seventh Army (1)(1/2)
Chapter 404: Flooding the Seven Armies (1)
Xiuwu was once named Ningyi.
During the Shang Dynasty, King Wu attacked Zhou and encountered heavy rain on his way, so he had to temporarily station him to cultivate troops and practice martial arts, so he was called Xiuwu.
There is Heishan in the north and Bailu Mountain in the east.
The clear water comes out from here, inherits the scattered springs and gathers into rivers.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Dong Qi led the trolls to Xiuwu with Pang Tong and Han De, and inspected the newly built Xiaoxiuwu Camp here.
Xiao Xiuwu was in Xiuwu East, and he faced Huojia directly in Yumenjin.
There are Qingshui River and Bailu Mountain as screens, forming a natural barrier. You can rush into Henoi in the east and attack Jizhou; you can cross the river water in the south, harass Yanjin, and occupy Yanzhou. If you divide Hanoi into two pieces, the minor Xiuwu can be the boundary marker.
Logically speaking, Dong Qi is now in a high position and can leave things to others.
Huang Zhong is also a person he trusts very much. Although a mere martial arts camp is very important in a strategic sense, he actually doesn't have to come to inspect it in person. Returning to Chang'an and staying in Guanzhong seems to be more suitable for Dong Qi to do it.
But what about it in fact?
Dong Qi is the kind of person who can't stay idle!
Moreover, in Chang'an, it is inevitable that you have to face those tedious things, and those are not areas where he is good at.
In literature, there is Chen Gong Gu Yong, and in martial arts, there is Dian Wei Pangde.
Even if Dong Qi stays in Chang'an City, he is basically the one who does nothing. Besides, he still has an extremely secret piece. Maybe many people have forgotten Jia Xu, but Jia Xu is always paying attention to Chang'an.
This is also the reason why Dong Qi was not in a hurry to return to Chang'an after hearing that Su Gu instigated Liu Bian to go to Luoyang.
He just ordered Li Kui to secretly rush to Duyou Fort overnight and told Fa Zheng: "I am very worried about the current situation in Chang'an."
Then……
Nothing happened! This is enough... Dong Qi believed that Jia Xu could understand what he meant and began to investigate.
Instead of staying in Chang'an City and doing nothing, it is better to observe the battle situation on the front line.
Although Yuan Shao is now afraid of being a slut and dare not act rashly, who can explain the matter between the princes clearly?
Xu Shu was in charge of Yongcheng, and basically nothing happened to him. After being bored for several days, Dong Qi simply sent someone to tell Huang Zhong that he was a little bored and was going to practice martial arts and relax. He heard that the scenery of Heishan was quite good.
How could Huang Zhong not know Dong Qi’s thoughts?
He still knows Dong Qi quite well and knows that he is a man who is simply unused, so he agrees at the moment.
The prototype of the camp has been completed, covering an area of more than 10,000 hectares, and is divided into two parts.
The camp covered mountains, rivers, plains, and the small martial arts were cultivated, and the Maotian area was built in each place, forming a horn with the major martial arts.
Among them, the Xiaoxiuwu Camp has been completed, while the Zaomaotian Camp is still under construction.
After inspecting the two camps, Dong Chu was very satisfied with Huang Zhong's efficiency and couldn't help but praise him on the way.
Now, Yue Xichun, Director Yu no longer serves as Dong Qi's guard.
Both of them are proficient in military tactics, especially Yue Xi's martial arts are superb, and they can rank in the top ten among the Dong-type military generals.
It would be a pity to stay by Dong Qi's side. Huang Zhong just built two major camps and simply asked Yue Xi to come over. Yue Xi was also very impressed by Huang Zhong's martial arts. Although he was reluctant to part with Dong Qi, he came over in the end.
In contrast, Dong Qi transferred Han Dedong Zhao, who was originally a member of the White Army, and Pei Yuanshao and Meng Tan to serve as escorts.
Except for Han De, these four people are all killing generals. They obviously have some shortcomings in leading the army. The White Army has now become a big deal. Although they are a little reluctant to part with these four people, Dong Qi extended his hand and he agreed.
Han De said: "Lord, when will we raid Jizhou!"
Dong Qi smiled and replied: "Jing Ming, don't be anxious. Now that he is using troops in Jizhou, it is obvious that the time is not yet ripe. Let's wait."
"Wait? When will it be?"
Pang Tong smiled and said, "When it's time to attack Jizhou, you will naturally take action!"
Obviously, Dong and Pang Tong were already confident. Han De also knew that there were some things he should not ask about.
He is also acquaintance with Pang Tong!
When he was in Nanyang, Han De met the young Pang Tong. Now that Pang Tong has grown up, he doesn’t have so much concern about talking to each other. Han De has always been respectful to Pang Tong and Xu Shu, the group of Ziyin people. Because these people have too many intestines, sometimes they don’t know what’s going on when they go in. Fortunately, they are no better than Jia Xu.
When he returned to Xiuwu, Huang Zhong was discussing military affairs with Cheng Li.
Seeing Dong Qi and others coming in, the two of them quickly got up to greet him and asked Dong Qi about his opinion on the camp with a smile.
"Now that Youyi's army stationed troops in Hanoi, the martial arts camp has begun to take shape. Hansheng, what I want to know is, if I use troops in Jizhou, how long will it take for you to prepare... You know what I mean."
Huang Zhong thought for a while, "Jizhou soldiers and horses are about 400,000, of which 150,000 are in the north, and 50,000 are in the country of Wei County and Changshan... If you want to sweep Jizhou, you will need 100,000 troops. The two major camps are expected to be completed within two years."
"Then I'll give you two years!"
Dong Qi sat in the main seat, rubbed his cheeks, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Brother Huang, I feel very tired in the past two years!"
Huang Zhong was stunned and immediately understood what Dong Qi meant.
Yes, in the past, Dong Qi had no scruples and could do whatever he wanted. But now he was in a high place, but he couldn't help himself. Many things may not be Dong Qi's thoughts, but he had to face them and do them.
Dong Qi said: "I remember when I was marching Kanto, although it was much more dangerous, I was always clear about the enemy and me. The enemy is the enemy, and friends are the friends, and it was also a pleasure to solve it. Now, I really don't know who is the enemy and who is the friend. Every time I take a step, I have to go against my mind. Some things are really uncomfortable to do."
Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Zhong understands the idea of the lord. When I was in Nanyang, although I was just a small lieutenant, I drank and ate meat every day, so I had a happy life. Later, I followed Lord Qin and became the lieutenant in the West of Lao Shizi. The official became bigger and the salary was also increased, but whenever I did things, I always felt like I was restricted."
"Yes, I feel this way now!"
Dong Qi said, rubbing his cheeks hard, "I don't want to stay in Chang'an, I'm afraid I have this idea."
Huang Zhong smiled but refused to answer.
At this time, a primary school sent a war report.
Dong Qi took apart and frowned slightly, "Is this Xiahou Lan good? Can she actually do this?"
Huang Zhong took the battle report from Dong Qi and glanced at it.
Since Xiahou Lan led his troops out of Hangu Pass in mid-January, he can be said to have won consecutive battles and achieved quite good results.
First, he defeated Liu Bei's troops in Gucheng, and then a hundred thousand troops raided Pingyin, defeating Xiahou Yuan, a general under Cao Cao, and killed more than ten generals, aiming directly at Luoyang. At the beginning, Dong Qi was still very worried because Cao Cao's coalition was defeated too strangely. Is Cao Cao too weak, Xiahou Lan too powerful, or...
Cao Cao is not weak!
Liu Bei and Zhou Yu are not a mob...
Is Xiahou Lan's ability? Dong Qi has never seen it, but no matter how powerful it is, it is not as good as Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and others.
Therefore, Dong Qi sent someone to remind Xiahou Lan early to be careful of Cao Cao's tricks.
Although Dong Qi knew that Xiahou Lan might not listen, he was a colleague after all, and Dong Qi really couldn't bear to see Xiahou Lan fall into a trap. At the beginning, no matter how he thought about it, Xiahou Lan finally followed Dong Qi's words.
Pingyin stationed troops for more than a month, and then raided Luoyang.
After resisting Xiahou Lanyueyu's attack, Gongsun Kang finally couldn't resist it and retreated from Luoyang and fled to Yanshi.
So, Luoyang won a great victory...
For Liu Bing in Chang'an, regaining Dongdu is undoubtedly a very important thing. After hearing the good news, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. When he was reciting the scriptures, he even made a few mistakes, and he wanted to supervise Luoyang immediately.
At this time, Xiahou Lanke threw Dong Qi's reminder out of the sky.
Hanoi is not far from Jingzhao, and Dong Qi is always paying attention to the battle situation in Luoyang. In fact, judging from the current situation, Xiahou Lan has nothing wrong with it, and Cao Cao does not seem to have many tricks.
Could it be that Cao Cao wanted to give up Luoyang?
Dong Qi wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death!
But the current situation is indeed difficult to explain and cannot explain...
Today's battle report says that Xiahou Lan won again in Yanshi, had occupied Yanshi, and confronted Cao Cao and Xuanyuan Pass.
"What's wrong!"
Dong Chu said to himself: "There is clearly a problem here!"
Huang Zhong never fought with Cao Cao, but Zhou Yu had served under his command, so he naturally knew Zhou Yu's ability.
"Lord, what trick is Cao Cao trying to play?"
After reading the battle report, Pang Tong, who was standing aside, frowned and pondered.
A moment later he suddenly asked, "Master, what month is it now?"
"It's the end of April, and May is about to begin... Shiyuan, what have you come up with? Tell me quickly!"
Pang Tong did not answer immediately, but instead asked someone to take the topographic map of Jingzhao and stand in front of the map to observe carefully.
"Yanshi, Yanshi is north of Songgao Mountain (Today's Songshan Mountain), um... Yishui, Luoshui is here... May?"
He raised his head suddenly, widened his eyes and looked at Dong Qi.
Dong Qi and Huang Zhong also seemed to hear a clue from his words just now.
To the north of Yanshi is the place where the Yishui River and Luo River meet, and to the south is Songshan Mountain, and the terrain is a low-lying valley.
The rainy season in the south begins in April...
The rainy season in the north is relatively one month later than the south. That is to say...
"not good!"
To be continued...
