Chapter 135 Bingfa Shouchun
Zhao Yun has been advancing for several days in the past few days, but the weather has been cloudy and rainy, and the entire army has been marching hard on the way to the expedition.
Zhao Yun asked: "General, why has it been raining heavily these days?"
Chen Lan replied: "Every year from June to September is the plum rain season. During this period, Huainan will be a place with abundant rainfall."
"If it rains continuously these days, wouldn't we be able to attack Huainan City?"
"No, no, general, our Huainan region has always been engaged in water wars in this area."
"Water war?"
Chen Lan explained: "It is to use the water potential to attack."
"I remember that in history, the Qin State flooded Daliang City. Why can't our army flood Shouchun with water?"
They then began to attack the river in Shouchun City. The generals currently stationed in Shouchun were Yuan Shu's generals Qiao Rui and Le Jiu. Moreover, both of them were actually Yuan Shu's think tanks, especially Na Le who had been hiding behind him.
Advising Yuan Shu, he had long seen that Shouchun's weakness at this season was water attack, so he took the lead and led 10,000 troops to garrison by the river, while another general was responsible for defending the city.
The scout reported the situation to Zhao Yun again. Zhao Yun surrounded the map in the tent and asked: "Generals, how do you think we should fight this battle?"
Chen Lan took the lead and said: "General, in this battle, we must capture the Shouchun River upstream of Shouchun City, so that we can capture Shouchun City in one fell swoop."
Guan Jing added: "Yes, General, our heavy engineering weapons are inconvenient to move during the rainy season, and it is not conducive to launch around the flask during the rainy season."
Zhao Yun added: "In this attack, no matter which one we seize, we must make a quick decision."
"When will we act?" Zhou Dan asked.
"We will take action tonight. The whole army will obey the order. Chen Lan and Lei Bo pretended to be defeated soldiers and took the lead in attacking the main gate of the camp, while we led our soldiers to attack their rear camp. The whole army prepared meals at the third watch and set off to attack at the fifth watch.
All of you, take out your swords from their sheaths, there will be blood on them."
"yes."
At night, the rain gradually stopped, and the small pool on the ground was like a mirror, with the round moon that had just shined reflected on the surface of the pool.
Pieces of bloated white clouds slowly moved across the surface of the pool, like a group of old women, bending their backs and laboriously walking past the moon step by step, trying to cover the moon, but the moon poured out its bright light through the gaps in the clouds.
A white cloud connected with another white cloud, like a wide irregular belt, dividing the clear sky into two halves.
The white clouds moved past and gradually disappeared into the distance. The sky was clear and blue, and the moon looked exceptionally bright.
However, all this was interrupted by a group of poorly dressed soldiers.
"Who? Stop?"
"You don't even know us. I am your Majesty's former general Chen Lan and your rear general Lei Bo. Why don't you hurry up and tell your general Le to come and greet us?"
These soldiers guarding the gate of the village entered the city gate to report their joy.
Le was alone there quietly in the big tent, drinking wine and tasting Huainan delicacies.
At this time, a soldier came in and reported: "Report to the general, there are two generals Chen Lan and Lei Bo outside the door. Are they coming to visit?"
"Chen Lan, Lei Bo, aren't they staying with Yuan Shu?"
Le said in his mind: "I deceived Yuan Shu into sending troops to fight Cao Bing, but he was defeated. I originally planned to ask Cao Bing to kill them, but I didn't expect that they were still alive. Qiao Rui and I agreed to defend Shouchun City together, and then wait
After the rainy season, we will restore the power in Huainan together, and then I will kill Qiao Rui, but now that Chen Lan and Lei Bo have appeared, Yuan Shu is also nearby."
"Where's the person coming?"
"General's orders?"
"I will have a distinguished guest here in a moment. Please prepare a pot of poisonous wine for me. I will take care of this distinguished guest in a while."
"Yes, General."
The two evil masters and servants looked at each other and smiled, and then he slowly pushed out.
Lejiu put on his helmet and armor and walked out of the village gate with a sword in hand.
He saw two men, Chen Lan and Lei Bo, holding spears in their hands and riding on horses. Since Chen Lan and Lei Bo had higher military ranks than him, Le Jiu waved his hand and removed the village gate. Le Jiu greeted him with a smile and shouted:
"General Chen, General Lei..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Lan took the lead, swung his spear and pierced Lejiu's chest with one shot.
