Chapter 22 Entering Shoushan

The words of joining the army almost gave Gongsun Xiu unprecedented confidence.

At the same time, it is also an extremely powerful ambition.

Yang Zuo, the two generals of Beiyan Yan State, already had a clear intention to stand in a row, and now Lunzhi blatantly turned against each other.

It can almost be said that these three people have great prestige in the army. With the support of these three people, the throne of King Yan is close at hand.

Although as the prince, the position of King Yan is nothing unexpected, it will be his sooner or later.

But it is also the premise that "no surprise". If Gongsun Yuan did not take advantage of his uncle Gongsun Gong's body, he would never be able to be the leader of Liaodong in his entire life. After all, the temporary leader is usually occupied temporarily.

The unprecedented crisis in Liaodong also gave Gongsun Xiu a chance to change this mutiny.

Yes, mutiny.

Not a coup.

Only with soldiers can political resources be deflected.

Under the current situation, Liaodong is everywhere, and the Wei State is determined to destroy Liaodong. Wu State depends on the situation. If Yan State is defeated by Wei State, Wu State will immediately adopt the strategy of plundering Liaodong resources and returning to Liaodong. Goguryeo and Xianbei people took the opportunity to divide the Yan State as it was about to perish.

The combined forces of the four major forces have exceeded 100,000.

Obviously, Gongsun Yuan has made Yan State so annoying.

Gongsun Xiu took advantage of the death battle between the Wei and Wu armies and led 5,000 cavalry to chase Xiangping. From what he learned, Goguryeo and Xianbei did not have any powerful combat power.

The reason is very simple. The small tribe on the edge has not had much of the foundation for the empire as a tribe, and will not produce advanced weapons and equipment and strategic deployments.

Of course, in the ancient era of cold weapons, nomadic peoples naturally had the robbery thinking. In the harsh natural disaster environment, a large number of animal husbandry deaths often resulted in the death of a large number of livestock. The opportunity to survive was the robbery of the results of agricultural civilization, such as the crops grown.

The farming culture of the Central Plains is in a region with good climatic conditions. The benefits of spring and autumn harvest are basically certain. The characteristic of nomadic people is robbery and plunder, which is also the problem that dynasties have suffered from border defense prevention in history.

Five thousand cavalry advanced rapidly into Xiangping, and heavy rain fell from the sky. It rained heavily for five consecutive days. Gongsun Xiu had to slow down his advance and smiled bitterly: "July is here in the blink of an eye."

Lunzhi frowned and said, "The autumn rain has entered Liaodong again, so there is a continuous heavy rain."

Gongsun Xiu thought that Sima Yi's plan was completely out of the blue. Taking advantage of the surge in the July River, Xiangping would be soaked in the water in the low-lying Liao tunnels everywhere, but now he was dragged by Dongwu in the Liaokou area, so he naturally couldn't move.

He shook his head and said, "This is not a bad thing. If the heavy rain is not completely a bad thing, it is a bad thing for the Wei army, Wu army, Goguryeo, and Xianbei."

Lunzhi calculated the water level and couldn't help but frown: "If this rain falls like this for fifteen days, the Liao Tunnel and Xiangping will be flooded. What should I do? Water flows into the city, wouldn't it give the enemy a fighter to encircle?"

Gongsun Xiu thought that Lun underestimated the ultimate rainstorm and shook his head and said, "Join the army, you have calculated wrongly. It's not on the fifteenth day, but on the thirty days, the heavy rain continued for a month, and the water level was unprecedented. Even the Wei army's grain transport ships in Liaokou could drive directly to the city of Liao Tunnel."

Lun couldn't help but be surprised: "Will it rain so heavily?"

Gongsun Xiu thought that this heavy rain almost determined the fate of Yan State, so he said helplessly: "Of course. My calculations will be more accurate. This heavy rain will last for one month."

Lun said straight: "What should Xiangping do?"

Gongsun Xiu smiled and said, "Since I have predicted that the heavy rain will continue for a month, of course I have tried to relieve the siege, otherwise I can't change it. What's the use of knowing it? As early as the first month of this year, I ordered corvee labor to dig up the river, clear the silt and weeds, and widen and strengthen the narrow river. It has taken six months of construction and mobilized nearly 40,000 people to mobilize the people's strength. The water cannot flood Xiangping. On the contrary, the military camps stationed by the besieged Goguryeo and Xianbei may be flooded."

Lunzhi was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: "The prince can actually calculate it here, it is really unpredictable." But then he thought of another question and said: "How long can Xiangping last?"

Gongsun Xiudao: "The grain and grass have been hoarded, and the grain from Liao Tun was transported all the way back to Xiangping."

Lun Zhi praised: "If this is the case, Liaodong will be in danger."

Gongsun Xiu smiled. After all, it took six months of planning and finally came in handy. He smiled and said, "It's just timely to prepare for the future. I didn't expect that Goguryeo and Xianbei Mo Huba would attack Xiangping, which was beyond my expectations. Originally, the diversion of rivers and the storage of food were to resist Sima Yi."

This is also something beyond his understanding of history.

It seems that history has quietly made a butterfly effect. According to the process, his appearance has greatly reversed the situation in Liaodong. Not only did the Eastern Wu participate in the war, but even small tribes were brought in. In history, only a few thousand foreign soldiers helped Sima Yi destroy Liao. Unexpectedly, he triggered the hell-level mode and directly came the army of 30,000.

Lun said straight: "How is His Highness going to deal with them?"

Gongsun Xiudao: "There is no other way to go besides a quick battle. I can't guess which of the Wei and Wu armies in the fierce battle in Liaokou will win. But carefully think about it, both sides have equal strengths and weaknesses, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. The head coach is also an old fox like Sima Yi and Zhuge Jin. It's really hard to say who loses and who wins."

Lunzhi smiled bitterly: "What the prince's meaning is, which side wins, will it become our opponent?"

"Of course, I'm more inclined toward Eastern Wu. If Zhuge Jin defeated Sima Yi, both sides would naturally withdraw their troops. However, Zhuge Jin wanted to ask for a rebate from our Yan State, and we can't afford it, so we can only fight again."

Gongsun Xiu smiled on his face: "Sima Yi used his troops strangely. The one who fought to the end would definitely be covered in bruises. If we could solve Goguryeo as soon as possible, the remaining one would never interfere in Liaodong. Both Wei and Wu came from afar and consumed a lot. I heard that Cao Rui sent another 50,000 troops to assist Sima Yi. If he was not afraid of Sun Quan in the southeast and Liu Chan in the west, he would have deprived Sima Yi of the siege and left together."

Lun nodded and sighed: "If you delay any further, there will be danger in the entire Liaodong. I hope it will end soon."

The two marched at night and finally arrived at Shouyang Mountain on the eighth day.

Gongsun Xiu was overjoyed when he saw the flags of Shouyang Mountain covering the sky and the sun. It was the flag of the Yan army. He was overjoyed: "It seems that the situation is not too bad."

He rode his horse to the front of Deshan. Yang Zuo, Bei Yan and others came out to greet him, and gave him a great gift to the prince in surprise.

"Criminal, have you let Sima Yi go?" Yang Zuo couldn't help but be worried when he remembered this.

Gongsun Xiu waved his hand: "I'll let it go."

Yang Zuo sighed, "It's a pity. Your Highness, you are fine. Thank you for your humble position. The Wei army has more than 10,000 people, and you only lead 5,000 troops. It's a blessing to be able to safely cut off the rear."

He couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I let Sima Yi go, but Dongwu won't let him go."

Now, how will we lead Sima Yi to Xiaogu Mountain, how will we pretend to be the Wei army and attack Zhuge Ke, and lead the two sides to have a great war.

When everyone heard about this, they were shocked and dropped their chins.

Bei Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Wu State knows that he will hate His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gongsun Xiu shrugged: "Of course I hate us. I promised that I would surround Sima Yi. He would snatch the Wei army in Liaokou. I boasted about Haikou and eliminate Sima Yi within fifteen days. In order to save the King of Yan, we withdrew the besieged troops, causing Sima Yi to attack the rear of the Wu army. Don't say that I was the one who secretly attacked me, Zhuge Ke hated me to death now."

Yang Zuo sighed: "This plan to remove firewood from the cauldron was so good that both Wei and Wu were caught in a fierce battle."

Gongsun Xiu waved his hand, saying that the matter was not big, and asked, "How is Xiangping? Why are you stationed in Shouyang Mountain? Why are you stopping?"

When it comes to this, the few people present are a little excited.
