At this time, the Sijun infantry had already reached the foot of Lianhua Pass, and many soldiers had already set up ladders to attack the city wall. Sima Yiqing's expression was solemn, and the idea of ??attacking or not was going back and forth in his mind, making him hesitant. If he made the wrong decision to withdraw his troops this time, the current good siege situation would be lost. Moreover, when Si Jun came, he actually made trouble. Sima Yiqing couldn't help but laugh at such a big joke. However, his rich experience told him that the enemy general's expression was definitely not normal. Sima Yiqing was puzzled as to what Lin Jun's next move was. Sima Yiqing thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of it, so he had to ask Qian Xiaoxing: "Xianxiang, think about it if you were Lin Jun, how would you deal with Si Jun?" Qian Xiaoxing looked around. , puzzled: "There are no high mountains and cliffs here, and you can't throw objects from high altitude. There is a lotus leaf lake around, but what is the use of the lake?" "Lake!" Sima Yiqing became nervous upon hearing this, Said: "Xian son-in-law, please withdraw the troops quickly!" Qian Xiaoxing heard Sima Yiqing's anxious tone and immediately ordered him to go down without having time to ask the reason: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" After closing the lotus gate, many soldiers of the army had already climbed up. It would take a little more time to capture the city wall, but suddenly "ding, ding, ding" the rapid sound of ringing gold sounded. Despite the military orders, even though they finally managed to capture the city wall of Lianhua Pass, the Sijun soldiers quickly retreated back. Seeing the soldiers begin to retreat, Qian Xiaoxing asked: "Father-in-law, what conspiracy does Lin Jun have?" "Lake, It's the Lotus Leaf Lake. The Lotus Valley is low-lying. What do you think would happen if Lin Jun dug out the lake?" Sima Yiqing asked. "The seven armies were flooded!" Qian Xiaoxing exclaimed in shock. He remembered that in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there was a story about Guan Yu using the water of the Han River to flood Cao Cao's seven armies, and he won the victory with a small number and a large number. Is this history going to happen again today? While Qian Xiaoxing was in shock, he felt a strong wind blowing past his face, and the wind was mixed with traces of water vapor. He looked up and saw a turbid mountain torrent surging from a mountain stream in the distance, making a "boom boom boom" sound. "the sound of. "The flood is coming!" nearby soldiers shouted loudly. "Run!" Qian Xiaoxing shouted loudly. Seeing that the flood was only more than a hundred meters away, the waves in front were three or four meters high. The flood was mixed with broken trees, and floating boulders were surging all the way. , Sima Yiqing reminded: "Xian son-in-law, let's evacuate quickly!" Hu Suoyuan turned the front of the carriage and drove quickly to follow the soldiers to the high ground. The Sima soldiers were running wildly, but there were still many The soldiers were swept away by the raging waves. The yellow and muddy flash flood quickly engulfed the open space in front of Lianhua Pass, and the original wilderness turned into a vast ocean. There were still many soldiers of the army struggling in the water. Qian Xiaoxing stood on the high slope, heartbroken when he saw it, and shouted : "Hu Suoyuan, immediately find a boat to rescue people!" Sima Yiqing also blamed himself very much when he saw the struggling soldiers, and said: "I was too hesitant. If I had made a decisive decision, I could have bought a lot of time. It¡¯s just that I want to save face and am afraid of misjudgment and embarrassment.¡± Qian Xiaoxing consoled him, ¡°Zhang Yue, you have bought a lot of time for the Si army. If you hadn¡¯t seen the clues, I¡¯m afraid our infantry would have been wiped out. "The flood hit the shore and set off waves. Sima Yiqing took a few steps back and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a master in Lin Jun who can actually flood the water. We should be more cautious in the future." Sima Yi. Qing warned. Qian Xiaoxing nodded and replied: "Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. It seems that the reason for our failure this time is that we were too aggressive without investigating the situation. We must learn from this lesson. Zhang Yongchao immediately sent someone to find out whether Lin Jun was stationed at Lianhua Pass." Who is the guard? The more information you can find about this person, the better!" "Yes!" Zhang Yongchao took the order and left. There were no ships near Lianhua Pass, so Hu Suoyuan had no choice but to let the soldiers cut down trees to make rafts and push them into the flood to rescue people. Lin Jun, who was at Lianhua Pass, laughed when he saw this scene. The golden-armored Lin Jun commander was over fifty years old, and his name was Chen Tian. He had not been reused in the Lin Kingdom before. This time, King Lin chose him to garrison at Lianhua Pass. It seemed that he had chosen the right person. Chen Tian, ??who had a dark complexion and a black beard, looked like a ball of black coal. He said: "Although I am happy that the floods flooded my army this time, it's just that my army had already paid for the withdrawal before the water came. Otherwise, we would have been able to withdraw." More drowned, I can't figure out how Si Jun knew my plan. "Is there a spy in our army?" the deputy general next to him guessed. Chen Tian obviously also had some intelligence. He shook his head and said, "That's not the reason. If a spy really let Si Jun know about the flooding plan, would Si Jun still die so many people?""Um" The deputy general nodded and replied: "What the general said is absolutely true. I heard from the intelligence that there are two powerful figures in the Si Army, both of whom are famous. One is Qian Xiaoxing and the other is Sima Yiqing. Now in Huaxia It is said that the two of them are invincible if they combine their swords together. " "Invincible! joke! Chen Tian burst out laughing and said, "They haven't fallen into my flood plan yet, but they can sense the danger in advance and withdraw their troops early. They are somewhat capable." "The deputy general patted the horse and said: "That is, with the general stationed here at Lianhua Pass, the army will be flooded every time. With the general in the country of Lin, you can rest assured. " " Qian Xiaoxing, Sima Yiqing is nothing more than that! Chen Tian was full of confidence, but turned around and said: "The water in Lotus Lake will always shine, and the construction of Lianhua Pass must be accelerated." "The deputy general cupped his hands and replied: "Yes! Be sure to hurry up and build! " Heye Lake only released part of the water and then closed the gate. The flood came and receded quickly. The land washed by the water was a mess, but the most glaring thing among them was the corpses of Si Jun soldiers. A large number of The corpses lay scattered in the pond. Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help crying when he saw them. Sima Yiqing felt heavy and said, "Xian son-in-law, let's retreat to Huju Pass first. " Qian Xiaoxing looked at the sky and it was almost evening, nodded and said: "Okay, Hu Suoyuan, have the personnel losses been counted? " Hu Suoyuan came up and replied: "Chief of Staff, more than 3,500 soldiers were killed in this battle. " Qian Xiaoxing sighed and said, "It's a bad start this time, which is very frustrating. Sima Yiqing comforted and said: "Xian son-in-law, a mature commander will not be disturbed by one or two wins and losses. We must be able to win and lose!" " Qian Xiaoxing nodded with understanding, and the Sijun troops returned to the same route and retreated to Huju Pass. Although they lost a battle this time, the morale of the Sijun soldiers did not decrease. Instead, they all held their breath and said to Lin The desire for revenge for the country became even stronger. Under the moonlight, Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Yiqing sat opposite each other in the tall Huju Gate. The two men were drinking and discussing things. Qian Xiaoxing said: "Father-in-law, Lin Jun." This time we used the flooding tactic against us, so Lin Jun will still use this tactic in our next attack. How should we respond? " Sima Yiqing said helplessly: "It seems that General Lin Jun is not a good person. Judging from today's situation, the water in Lotus Leaf Lake has been controlled by Lin Jun. He can release the water to drown people at any time, but I think, The water always shines. "My father-in-law means that we can lure Lin Jun to release the water. Once the water is released, there will be nothing Lin Jun can do?" "As soon as Qian Xiaoxing finished speaking, he shook his head and said: "I don't think this method will work. General Lin is not so easy to confuse. If our army attacks in a small scale, we don't need to release water and can resist. If I The army launched a large-scale attack. With such a large amount of water, even if they were prepared, they would inevitably suffer losses. " "Haha, Xianxiang's analysis is good, but what you want is to let Lin Jun release the water. Why don't we help them release the water? "Sima Yiqing touched his beard and said. Qian Xiaoxing said with admiration after hearing this: "If you want to kill a snake, hit it seven inches. The gate that releases the water is the key. My father-in-law caught the key point right away, so I will immediately arrange for someone to destroy it. Let all the water in Lotus Leaf Lake shine! " Seeing Qian Xiaoxing standing up and going to call someone, Sima Yiqing grabbed Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Xian son-in-law, don't be anxious, sit down! " Qian Xiaoxing sat back in confusion. Sima Yiqing took a sip of wine and said, "You haven't learned your lesson yet. You must know yourself and your enemy, and don't rush in." " Qian Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said: "What my father-in-law means is that the water gate might be a bait? " "Yes, since General Lin can use the flooding strategy, we cannot underestimate him. If we can think of destroying the floodgates, then he will naturally think of protecting the floodgates. If the design is good, it will be very effective for Si Jun who goes to destroy it. If there is an ambush, our army will suffer heavy losses again. "Sima Yiqing analyzed. Qian Xiaoxing calmed down after hearing this. He secretly blamed himself for why he was so impatient now and not at all careful. He thought for a moment and said: "What my father-in-law said is right, then I will arrange it first. People go and conduct reconnaissance. If there is an ambush, we will think of another way. " Sima Yiqing nodded and encouraged: "Xian son-in-law, you are still very smart, and you can tell everything at once. I give you twelve words: don¡¯t be impatient, be careful, be humble and cautious! These are the qualities that an excellent commander should have. I believe that after hard training, you will become more mature in the future. " "What my father-in-law taught me is that now I have the safety of Si State on my shoulders. Even if I am sorry for myself, I cannot be sorry for the people and soldiers of Si State. I will remember this. Qian Xiaoxing replied seriously. That night, Qian Xiaoxing sent out scouts to come forward.??Conducting reconnaissance near Heye Lake. By dawn the next day, Zhang Yongchao had found out the situation of Chen Tian, ??the leader of the Lin Army, and immediately came back to report to Qian Xiaoxing. Zhang Yongchao said: "Chen Tian is a hereditary general of the Lin State. His family has been a general for three generations. His father is a famous general of the Lin State. After his father's death, Chen Tian ascended the throne, but he has never been reused. This time King Lin will replace other generals." They were all sent to the capital of Hu Guoshan to give him a chance to show off his intelligence analysis. Chen Tian is arrogant and has an impatient personality. He learned his strategies and tactics from his father. " "It's very detailed. This information is very timely." Looking at Zhang Yongchao who had not slept all night, Qian Xiaoxing said: "Zhang Yongchao, you have worked hard, go back and rest." After Zhang Yongchao left, Qian Xiaoxing came to Huju Gate and sat quietly waiting for He. Information from Ye Lakeside.
