    Chapter 214: Have your own countermeasures

    Liu Feng¡¯s smile was too obvious, how could he hide it from Ma Di¡¯s eyes.

    Seeing Liu Feng's expression, Ma Su knew that Pang Tong must have another clever plan, and asked hurriedly: "My lord, does Mr. Shi Yuan have a clever plan?"

    Liu Feng then showed another page of the silk book to Ma Su. After reading it, Ma Su couldn't help but marveled at it and sighed that Pang Tong's clever plan was unparalleled.

    Under normal circumstances, the only way to get benefits from Jing is to go west along the Yangtze River, passing through Yidu, Jianping, Badong, and Bajun, passing through the mountains and ridges, and then going deep into the hinterland of the Chengdu Plain.

    Although this route is difficult and dangerous, relatively speaking, it is considered a smooth road to Sichuan.

    In addition, there is another remote path, which is the Yishui path.

    This Yishui River meets the Yangtze River in Yidaocheng, hence its name.  This water system meanders from Yidao to the west, passing through a large area of ??inaccessible and primitive mountains. Only one county, Shaqu (now Enshi), is inhabited.

    After passing Shaqu County, take a mountain road heading north to reach the nearest Yangqu County along the Yangtze River.

    And this Yangqu County is already on the western border of Badong County.  In other words, if Liu Feng's army takes the Yishui Trail, it can bypass Jianping County, which is defended by Jiang Wan's troops, seize Yangqu by surprise, cut off the connection between Jiang Wan's army and Liu Bei's main force in Sichuan, and isolate Jianping County in Yidu  Between it and Badong, it became an isolated county.

    This is a surprising move to win.

    While Ma Su was admiring, he suddenly encountered hidden dangers: "The Yishui Trail is difficult to walk. Except for Shaqu County, it is almost an uninhabited area. It is impossible to get food locally, and it is also very difficult to transport food from the rear. This section  The Lord must not ignore the disadvantages."

    Since ancient times, people from Chu to Shu have mostly taken the route along the Yangtze River. Although the Yishui Trail is well known, few people take this route. The key point is that food cannot be sustained.

    ??Just imagine, even a surprise attack of troops and horses, through the inaccessible no man's land, deep behind the enemy.  But on someone else's territory, even if you occupy one or two cities, as long as the opponent has a strong wall and clears the country, he will try every means to prevent you from collecting food on the spot, and it is difficult to transport food and grass from the rear. In this case, the so-called surprise attack will soon be due to  Failure due to lack of food.

    Liu Feng smiled and said: "If it were an ordinary situation, Shi Yuan would never come up with this plan for us, but this plan is timely at the right time. You Chang, you have forgotten the name under which we entered Shu."  ?"

    With one word, Ma Su suddenly realized.

    Liu Feng¡¯s army¡¯s Western Expedition was under the guise of being invited by Liu Zhang to flank Liu Bei.

    Liu Bei used fraud to seize Sichuan. Although Badong and other counties surrendered without fighting, they were all afraid of the threat of force. Most of the soldiers and people who surrendered did not actually surrender sincerely. Liu Bei's troops were limited, so most of the areas he controlled were also  It's just a key point in the county administration.

    Moreover, Liu Zhang had announced to the outside world that he would cede Badong and other counties to Liu Feng as a thank you gift for being invited to Shu. In other words, from a legal point of view, both Jianping and the subsequent counties that Jiang Wan occupied were  Badong County, including the officials and common people, already belonged to Liu Feng.

    If Liu Feng's surprise attack army suddenly appears in Badong County, as long as they wave the banner of being invited to Shu and raise their arms, the undecided counties will surely rise up to respond, rebel against Liu Bei, and surrender to Liu Feng in a legitimate manner.  , why worry about not being able to solve the food problem.

    Without Liu Zhang's invitation, stealing Yishui and attacking behind enemy lines would only be a failure with no return. However, the current situation is different, and the result will naturally be very different.

    After figuring all this out, Ma Su no longer had any worries and happily asked for a fight.

    Liu Feng still needs Ma Su as counselor and military aircraft at any time. For this surprise attack, Liu Feng chose the veteran Huang Zhong.

    Although this veteran general has been trusted by Liu Feng since Changsha surrendered to Liu Feng, he has never participated in any important battles, whether it was the attack on Nanjun, the annihilation of Guan Yu, or the resistance against Cao Cao in Xiangyang.

    At this time, Huang Zhong was holding back his energy and wanted to show the world that he was still honest and honest. This was also the reason why Liu Feng decided to use Huang Zhong as the vanguard in this Western Expedition, in order to win Huang Zhong.  Zhong's eagerness to show off his skills.

    When Liu Feng informed Huang Zhong of his plan, the veteran general did not hesitate and happily asked for a fight.

    So, Liu Feng allocated three thousand of his elite troops, and under the pretext of returning to Jingzhou to transport grain, he set off back to Yidu overnight, followed the plan to take the Yishui Trail, and raided Madong County behind Jiang Wan.

    Liu Feng himself continued to lead an army of more than 10,000 people along Jiangxi, joined Mengda's defeated army, and arrived at the gate of Wu County, preparing for a large-scale attack.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Hefei City?

    Zhang Liao silently watched the Wu people showing off their power in front of the city, his heavy and angry mood all reflected on that stern face.

    After the failure of the night attack, all 50,000 Wu troops boarded the ships and set up camps on all sides, completely surrounding the city of Hefei.

    In that battle, Zhang Liao lost almost all his 800 cavalry. After losing his cavalry advantage, he naturally did not dare to attack without permission, and could only watch helplessly as the Wu army completed the encirclement of Hefei.

    In front of the city, more than ten Wu cavalrymen were cursing the city and calling for formation. What was raised high on the bamboo pole was Li Dian's head.  The Wu people wanted to use this humiliation to anger the defenders in the city and induce them to go out to fight.

    Zhang Liao knew this very well. Even so, when he saw Li Dian's bloody head, the anger in his heart continued to surge like a volcano, but he could only suppress the rage of revenge with his cold will.  .

    Under internal and external oppression, Zhang Liao's heart was as sharp as a knife.

    "The Wu people bullied others too much, Mancheng, don't worry, I, Le Jin, will definitely avenge you." Le Jin, who was watching the enemy side by side, expressed his resentment through gritted teeth.

    Zhang Liao snorted coldly after hearing this, unabashedly showing his resentment towards Le Jin.

    From an indifferent colleague with a grudge against him, he became a brother who fought side by side in bloody battles. Moreover, this brother even sacrificed himself to help him escape. In Zhang Liao's heart, Li Dian was already a brother who shared life and death.

    Although he knew that Le Jin was in trouble, and although he also knew the so-called overall situation, Li Dian's death hit Zhang Liao so hard that the resentment in his heart overshadowed his rational judgment.  At a critical moment, he could not work together with Le Jin no matter what.

    Le Jin knew that Zhang Liao had grievances, and he privately blamed himself for Li Dian's death, but he was also a fiery person. So what if you, Zhang Liao, were angry? How could I, Le Jin, bow to you?

    Hearing Zhang Liao's contemptuous snort, Le Jin immediately became angry. He turned around and looked at him coldly and asked: "Wen Yuan, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can express it clearly. Why are you so cold and sarcastic?  Like a man."

    As soon as Le Jin opened his mouth, Zhang Liao's powder keg was instantly ignited. He frowned and said solemnly: "What does it mean to be a man? Seeing that your robe is in dire straits, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, turning a blind eye and not saving him. This is what it means to be worthy."  Call me Hanzi?"

    This statement was like calling him "covetous for life and afraid of death" by name. Le Jin was furious and shouted sternly: "Whoever you say is greedy for life and afraid of death, if you have the guts, just say it clearly, don't make any insinuations."

    Seeing that Le Jin had no regrets and seemed to be justified, Zhang Liao was furious and had the urge to take action on the spot.

    At this tense moment, the guard Xue Ti who heard the news hurried over, stood between the two of them decisively, and advised with a grimace: "Two generals, the situation in Hefei is critical now, please ask the second general.  Put the overall situation first and don¡¯t let your own family get into trouble."

    "snort¡ª¡ª"

    Xue Ti¡¯s timely appearance defused a fight that was about to start. Although the two gave up the idea of ??starting a fight, they were still angry in their hearts. They each snorted coldly and turned around without even bothering to look at each other.

    Xue Ti secretly breathed a sigh of relief, holding a handful of sweaty soldiers on his left and right sides, and his nervousness relaxed.

    Xue Ti sighed for a moment, then suddenly remembered the business and said hurriedly: "Two generals, we have just received information that the Wu fleet has crossed our Hefei and headed north along the Feishui River. It seems that they have the intention to attack Shouchun.  The general needs to make up his mind."

    Soldiers march into Shouchun

    Hefei is more than a hundred miles away from Shouchun. It seems impossible that the Wu people would use their naval forces to make a long-distance attack and go straight to the Huaihe River to capture Hefei.

    But after a moment of surprise, the two hostile generals quickly regained their composure.

    "The city of Shouchun is strong and well-prepared with troops and supplies. Even if the Wu people attack with an overwhelming army, they may not be able to defeat it. What's more, it is just a partial army, and it dares to cross Hefei and expose the supply line to us. This move of the rebel army,  Nothing to worry about.¡±

    Le Jin¡¯s analysis was in line with Zhang Liao¡¯s views. Naturally, he could not agree with it verbally, so he had to express his agreement in silence.

    With this, Xue Ti's urgent mood eased a lot. He looked eastward and murmured: "I hope the Prime Minister's army can return to support as soon as possible."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Ling Tong stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his hands. Looking at the water of Shaopi in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh at Cao Cao's foresight.

    There is a small plain south of the Huaihe River and west of Shouchun. In the hilly Jianghuai region, such a small plain is extremely precious.  The land here is extremely fertile. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there were thousands of hectares of fertile land.

      However, where this plain is located, there is a stream of water called Peishui. This water changes in many ways. Floods can cause disasters during floods, but they are not useful during droughts, causing serious disasters.

    During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu built a Shapi River here, which is a long embankment of more than 200 miles from west to east, which intercepted and stored Pi water to form an artificial lake comparable to the size of Chao Lake, and then irrigated it through canals.  Plain farmland around the lake.

    When Yuan Shu was defeated in the early years, Cao Cao sent people to rebuild Shaopi and used the water from Shaopi to build large-scale farming near Shouchun. The accumulated valleys became an important material support for Cao Cao's troops in Huainan.

    Ling Tong's navy of 7,000 men entered Shaopi from Feishui, nominally under the guise of attacking Shouchun, but in fact they followed Zhou Yu's secret plan and had other agendas.

    Zhou Yu¡¯s strategy as told to Ling Tong was to dig the Shapi embankment, flood the Huainan Plain, and cut off Cao Cao¡¯s army¡¯s southward aid to Hefei.  .
