"Although the land of Xicheng is close to the mountain range, it is in the land of the mountain basin, and it is also in the terrain in the entire vicinity, so there is also this reason why Lord Xu Shu dedicated the mountaineering stone just now to assist our army in attacking Xicheng.However, Guo Jia's strategy is completely different from that of Lu Xun and Xu Shu, Lu Xun's attack in batches can be described as the power of gold in the five elements, and Lord Xu Shu's offensive with the help of mountains and stones can be described as the attack of the earth in the five elements.The strategy that Guo Jia thought of this time, the water in the five elements, was to attack the water to break through the West City. ”As soon as Guo Jia's strategy came out, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be curious, and they really couldn't think of how to attack the city with water, after saying that, just under Xu Shu has passed, there are many peaks near here, where does the water attack the city come from, is it difficult to ask more than 300,000 troops to carry a burden of water to flood the West City, it is not enough for Zhao Yu to think so, after all, Zhao Yu still believes in Guo Jia's strategy and wisdom very much, Zhao Yu believes that Guo Jia can actually say such a plan this time, it must have his intentions, Although everyone doesn't know, this doesn't mean that Guo Jia's strategy is wrong, since everyone doesn't know, and even feels that it is impossible, it means that this kind of strategy has a very high feasibility, and this is the strategy of being a strategist.Otherwise, if you think of a plan, everyone can guess it immediately, so that the enemy army will also guess it.Since the enemy can come up with your plan, then it can break your plan, and if you dare to use it, you will find death.At the moment, I only heard Zhao Yu ask Guo Jia impatiently and said: "There are many mountains near Xicheng to break through with water, how to attack with water" I saw Guo Jia, and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a river in Hanzhong, which is a nameless river, and this river is a branch of the Han River."
Guo Jia once sent people to survey the Han River, the length of the Han River can not be verified, its runoff is quite large, the water source is abundant, and the branches are majority.This nameless river, which is only a branch of it, has plenty of water and few boats, but its bottom is turbulent and rapid. ”"It should be one with General Ma Chao, who set foot in the natural danger to capture Hanzhong County before, and the deep mountains and old forests he passed through, and the torrent he encountered.If our army sends a large group of men and horses to secretly dig a river channel and lead the water of the nameless river to irrigate the Xicheng, the Xicheng will definitely be self-defeating.In this way, our army can say that it can take the entire Xicheng without spending a single soldier at all. ”But he didn't want Guo Jia's voice to fall, and the audience was shocked, and he used the water of the river to attack Xicheng, and the power of the turbulent river water, anyone knows what the consequences will be if it is directly poured into Xicheng.In that case, not to mention the strength of Xicheng, even if it is more than 300,000 horses of Army B, how many will die when they encounter this situation.As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, no matter how powerful anyone is, no one dares to dare to fight against the powerful forces of nature.However, some people are worried about Guo Jia's water attack plan, this person is Zhao Yu, if you talk about the strategy of Lu Xun, Xu Shu, and Guo Jia this time.There is no doubt that although Lu Xun and Xu Shu's strategies are good, they are still inferior to Guo Jia's water attack strategy.Especially the flooding of Xicheng, it can be said that only by relying on manpower, tens of thousands of Shu troops in Xicheng can be wiped out, which is really cost-effective.But what worries Zhao Yu is not because of this, but because there are not only tens of thousands of Shu soldiers in Xicheng, but also some innocent people.A huge western city, the number of people in it must be quite a lot, if because of a water attack, those innocent people, accompanied by the Shu army drowned, how can Zhao Yu's heart accept.At that moment, Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Flooding Xicheng, although this move can easily wipe out the Shu army in the entire Xicheng and take Xicheng for my army."
But you must know that in addition to those Shu troops in Xicheng, there are also many innocent people, if because of my attack on the city, all these innocent people suffer, then how should I, Zhao Yu, face the people who survived.Even if these people survive, the flood will still flood their houses and destroy their farmland, which will make me completely lose the hearts of the people of Xicheng. ”didn't want Zhao Yu's remarks, and did not let everyone see Zhao Yu's weakness, but admired Zhao Yu's love for the people.Especially the newcomer Le Jin, when he saw that Zhao Yu couldn't bear to use this water attack in order to protect the people under the command of those enemy troops, he also sighed in his heart.Just when everyone was silent, I only heard Guo Jia speak again: "Your Majesty is too worried, since ancient times, as long as there is a war, there will be casualties.Although the water attack on Xicheng may implicate innocent people, it will reduce the casualties of our soldiers and soldiers.You must know that if our army forcibly attacks the city and destroys the Shu army in Xicheng, once the Shu army in Xicheng weakens, it will definitely recruit troops in the city.And the people of Xicheng that His Majesty is worried about will also become the Shu army in Xicheng and continue to fight against our army. ”After Guo Jia finished speaking, Lu Xun on the side also hurriedly stood up and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, what Lord Guo Jia said is very true, those people in Xicheng, although they seem innocent, but if we can't take Xicheng smoothly."
Even if our army occupies half of Hanzhong, it will be frictional with the soldiers and horses of the Shu army every day, and our soldiers will sacrifice even more at that time.In addition, according to Lu Xun's knowledge, at that time, in order to completely turn Xicheng into the Shu army camp in Hanzhong, the Shu army had already levied the prime of Xicheng, and as for the rest of the people, most of them were moved to other small towns, and only a few people stayed in Xicheng because they were unwilling to leave.Therefore, even if His Majesty orders a water attack this time, it will not hurt the people of Xicheng much. ”Then Xu Shu also stood up and said: "If Your Majesty is worried, because of the water attack on Xicheng, the people of Xicheng will have no homes and farmland, this is not a difficult thing.Once Xicheng is breached, our soldiers will surround Xicheng and take all those Shu soldiers into custody, as for the people of Xicheng, they can be temporarily relocated to Hanzhong County and Yangpingguan for a generation.At that time, our army will occupy the entire Hanzhong, and we can provide houses and farmland to the people who have taken it for free, and they will be exempted from taxes, and there will be no people who will have any proposal for our army to attack Xicheng by water. ”After hearing the words of the 30,000 military divisions, the rest of the soldiers also knew that Zhao Yu couldn't bear to do it out of kindness.As generals, they should stand up and talk about it at this time, even if something goes wrong at that time, it is the sin of being a courtier, and it has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven, this is the way of the monarch and the minister.At that moment, all the generals and ministers stood up and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, as long as there is a war, there will be casualties.However, compared to the casualties of the people of Xicheng, our army must go all out to take Hanzhong, and only by subduing Hanzhong can we stop all the fighting in Hanzhong.When the time comes, the people of Hanzhong will also be able to enjoy His Majesty's grace. ”At that moment, after hearing everyone's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but nod and said: "Since this is the case, then everything will be done according to your wishes, this time to attack Xicheng, in order to reduce the casualties of our soldiers, we will attack Xicheng by water." ”After speaking, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly spoke again: "For this water attack on the West City, I only have a few requirements, and I hope that all the generals must pay attention."
First, to divert the water of the river to capture the West City, this move seems simple, but the river water is the spirit of all things in nature, and its danger is unknown to us, so when the soldiers dig the water, we must be cautious. ”"Second, although our army occupies half of the land of Hanzhong, the other half is occupied by Liu Bei.The capture of Hanzhong is a necessary move for our army to dominate the world, and I have quietly lurked in Hanzhong before, and after disguising myself, I acted under the command of Hanzhong's proposition.Anyway, Zhang Lu was quite good to me at that time, and I also saw Ma Chao and General Ma Dai in Hanzhong, which can be regarded as having some relationship with me.Therefore, the soldiers hope to treat Hanzhong and hope to be more relaxed. ”"Third, our purpose in capturing Xicheng this time is just to defeat the Shu army in Hanzhong.In addition, it has nothing to do with the people of Hanzhong, all the troops entering the city, absolutely not to harass the people from one family to another, if any wisp is found to be beheaded according to military law, it will not be tolerated.As for those sergeants who surrendered, as long as they unloaded their weapons and surrendered, they were all taken into custody and were not allowed to be killed indiscriminately, after all, many of them were innocent civilians who were forced to put on military uniforms and take up arms to fight. ”"I only have these three requirements, I hope that after you go down, you must explain to the soldiers well, and the rest is up to you.In the past few days, I will not participate in the excavation of water diversion, but" Zhao Yu said this, looked at the prince Zhao Can and Qin Wang Zhao Yan on the left and right, and said: "It's just that the water diversion project seems simple, but the soldiers will definitely work extremely hard."
Let the crown prince and King Qin accompany those soldiers instead of me, so that they can share weal and woe with the soldiers and not be lazy. ”After hearing Zhao Yu's words, the two brothers, the prince and King Qin, without saying a word, immediately bowed to Zhao Yu and said: "Please rest assured that the child must obey his father's order, fully supervise this matter, eat and live with the soldiers, and never have any special actions." ”"Well, well, it's worthy of my Zhao Yu's son."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu looked at everyone and said again: "Everyone, if there is nothing else, this council will end temporarily."
As for the task of digging ditches and diverting water, Guo Jia is personally responsible, and as for which generals and ministers are needed to assist, it is all up to you Guo Jia to decide, and you don't have to ask me.I am waiting for your good news here, and after taking Xicheng and unifying Hanzhong, I will all be rewarded. ”Everyone cheered in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”:
