Chapter 323： Guo Jiaxiancheng

"Use water attack!"

More than one hundred thousand Xiangyong was organized to dig the river, intending to directly flood Shouchun with water.

Huainan has been raining for days, the dirt road is muddy, the water level has skyrocketed, and the food turnover is cumbersome. If Shouchun cannot be captured within two months, the Xuzhou Army may have to retreat.

The scout sent by Hou Jing to investigate outside the city found that the Xuzhou Army Corps was diverting Feishui, and couldn't help panicking. Once Shouchun was submerged by Fei Shui, no one could escape.

Hou Jing tried to struggle and led the soldiers out of the city to fight many times, but was repelled by Chen Qingzhi.

Knowing how fierce and auspicious he was, Hou Jing simply ignored him after experiencing despair, drinking and having fun in the city, living passively.

Mi Fang, who lacks the ability to command troops and horses, is responsible for digging the river and diverting the water.

Feishui is a branch of Huai Shui. Because of the continuous rainy days, the river water is soaring, so it can be used for water attacks.

Mi Fang regarded the task of diverting Fei Shui as Chu Tian’s trust in him, and personally digging the river channel with a shovel.

Chutian waited patiently for the flooding of Shouchun, and at the same time he ordered Xu Sheng to prepare a large number of grain ships to prepare for attacking the city wall of Shouchun from the surface.

Zangba and Sun Guan’s Langya defensive army supported Hefei, assisted Yang Ye and Joan of Arc in repelling the Eastern Jin famous generals Huan Wen and Zu Ti, and defended Hefei.

Huan Wen and Zuti discovered that the main force of the Xuzhou Army Corps had noticed the importance of Hefei, and knew that there was no chance to retake Hefei, so they withdrew.

Lujiang and Chaisang soldiers attacked Hefei for seven days, killing and wounding 6,000 people, and the army was shaken.

Invincible Legion and Servant Legion, in order to block the offensive of Huan Wen and Zuti, killed and injured three to four thousand people, and the loss was also not small.

Yang Ye’s invincible army can be recruited and supplemented, but the servant army cannot be supplemented in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the formation of the Servant Legion, it has fought many times, and the number has shrunk a lot. Even if the main general, Joan of Arc, almost died in battle, he still shed blood for Xuzhou Mu. Chu Tian ordered Yang Ye to send scouts to spy on Lujiang.

As long as Shouchun is captured, the main force may not be unable to fight Lujiang.

"Long and Wangshu, and Huai Wangjiang."

Chutian felt the greed of human nature, even he himself was no exception.

If you hit Longyou, you will want to enter Shu, and if you hit Huainan, you will want to drink Ma Yangtze River.

Although it has been raining continuously in recent days, because of the warm bed of Mulan, Chutian's life is good, at least better than the guards trapped in Shouchun City.

"Master, the river has been excavated, and the water level has risen sharply. You can dig an earth dam to fill the city at any time!"

Mi Fang came to Chutian in a hurry and reported the results triumphantly.

"All armies will seize the high ground and divert water to fill the city tomorrow."

The next day, Mi Fang excitedly led thousands of courageous villagers to destroy the earth dam, roaring the water, and went straight to Shouchun City along the excavated river!

The defenders of Shouchun City are suffering from the continuous rainy days. The city has been flooded and people's grievances are soaring.

Suddenly, the defenders of Shouchun City felt that the ground was shaking, as if a giant beast was approaching in the distance. They looked restlessly on the wall, and the defenders outside the city had already withdrawn.

"The earth moves?"

The defenders thought it was an earthquake.

Guo Jia's face changed slightly: "Feishui is about to fill the city."

The rumbling sound is approaching, and the flood destroys trees and rocks outside the city, whirls and vigorously hits the walls of Shouchun City! The flood slapped the city walls, and muddy water splashed onto the defenders' faces!

The defenders watched in horror as the flood raged into the city.

Although the flood did not cause Shouchun City to fall immediately, it did a serious blow to the morale of the defenders of Shouchun City. All the defenders were panicked.

There was no reinforcements outside, the inside was flooded, soldiers lacked fighting spirit, and it was only a matter of time before Shouchun fell.

Hou Jing was drunk and dying in the city, the flood flooded into Shouchun City, Hou Jing was shocked and went to the city to defend himself.

"The power of the flood is really huge."

Chutian stationed on a high place and saw Shouchun City become a piece of land, which was also helpless. If the embankment is not cleared to irrigate the city, more losses will be caused by siege.

It’s not a refreshing attack. After occupying Shouchun City, it is enough to calm the civilians and deal with the stagnant water.

Chutian can only appoint a Jiujiang prefect to govern Shouchun, and let him get a headache...

Xu Sheng improvised the fleet through the Huai River, entered Feishui, and appeared outside Shouchun City, making the Shouchun defenders even more panic.

"Chu Zimou thought that Shouchun could be captured by flooding the city. He would have underestimated my Hou Jing!"

Hou Jing forcibly recruited 200,000 males. While draining water, he continued to stick to Shouchun.

Within three days, thousands of civilians died due to excessive labor.

Hou Jing guards the city during the day, and continues to drunk and dream of death at night.

However, Guo Jia has already begun lobbying Hou Jing's men.

Hou Jing's military commanders were divided into two groups, one of which was Hou Jing's old ministry, and the other was Yuan Shu's generals, who were abducted to Huainan by Hou Jing.

On the fourth day of Fei Shui Guancheng, when Hou Jing woke up drunk, he found that he was **** by five flowers, and it was not only Yuan Shu’s generals who bound him, but also some of his old men.

Hou Jing was furious, and the blue veins on his forehead violently: "You dare to betray me!"

A general said: "General, Shouchun is surrounded by floods, flooding the city, and the siege continues. Once the plague breaks out, no one can survive in Shouchun. Sacrifice you alone, so that hundreds of thousands of people in Shouchun can be saved. , Why not do it?"

"Stupid! As long as we keep on guard for a while, Xuzhou Mu's army will retreat due to insufficient food. We are still the masters of Shouchun!"

Hou Jing's eyes were fierce, and the military commander who betrayed him couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, and still feared Hou Jing.

"Hou Jing, how do you feel betrayed by his subordinates?"

Guo Jia came under the protection of a few Huren cavalry, condescending.

These Hu people soldiers were originally used by Hou Jing to monitor Guo Jia, but at this time they were persuaded by Guo Jia to participate in the rebellion.

"You didn't offer anything to me, but you killed me. I hate that you didn't kill you that day!"

Hou Jing understood that most of his subordinates were persuaded by Guo Jia to rebel, otherwise even the Huren would not betray him.

Guo Jia's eyes were arrogant: "I persuaded you not to provoke Chu Zimou that day. You didn't listen. Why did you say that I didn't offer anything? You didn't kill me, not because of your kindness, but because you were too conceited about yourself. "

"Damn..."

Hou Jing was deliberately stimulated by Guo Jia, and wanted to rush to kill Guo Jia, but was held down by his own generals.

"This thief did a lot of evil and dedicated him to Xuzhou Mu."

Guo Jia got revenge, and the depression in his heart was wiped out.

"Lord, Shouchun defenders surrendered to the city!"

Chu Tian commanded Hua Mulan, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun and others to supervise the battle. They were deciding to take the Shouchun City in one go and seize the most important city in Huainan, but Shouchun City voluntarily surrendered.

"Presumably Feishui irrigates the city, and people's minds change."

"The end will go and explore!"

Mi Fang volunteered and led more than a thousand soldiers into Shouchun, making sure that the defenders were not surrendering.

Shouchun's defenders were attacked by water. They had no fighting spirit and almost surrendered. Even if someone resisted, they were killed by their own people.

Hou Jing, who had troubled Huainan, was brought to Chu Tian by Guo Jia and several traitors.

Hou Jing knew he was going to die and did not ask for mercy.

Guo Jia seems to be less than twenty: "Feng Xiao pays respect to Xuzhou Mu."

"I don't like Hou Jing and Shouchun, but I just like Feng Xiao."

Chutian praised all the talents as usual.

Sure enough, Guo Jia, who was still a bit passionate, was quite moved. It seemed that Xuzhou Mu was thirsty for talent.

"Hou Jing is damaging Huainan, and the people suffer from it. Xuzhou animal husbandry crusades against Huainan to eliminate the harm for the people, and filial piety is the righteous. If Xuzhou animal husbandry does not dislike it, Feng Xiao is willing to be an assistant."

Guo Jia took the initiative to seek refuge in Chutian. If it hadn't been for Chu Tian to lead the army to conquer Huainan, causing Hou Jing's internal panic, he would never be able to persuade Hou Jing's generals to defect.

"Ding! Emperor-level adviser Guo Jia loyal to you."

Chutian received the system prompt.

Guo Jia can be said to be one of the foremost counselors in the Three Kingdoms period.

The top counselors are almost the same. It is difficult to calculate each other, and most of them have to rely on the strength of the lord to win. The thicker the lord's family, the more room for them to play.

"Zi Yun, Hou Jing will leave it to you."

Chutian handed Hou Jing to Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi didn't say anything, he drew his sword to kill Hou Jing. Hou Jing, who harmed Huainan, died so easily.

"Fengxiao thought, how should we deal with the comrades in Huainan?"

After killing Hou Jing, Chu Tian asked Guo Jia about handling Huainan's surrender.

Guo Jiasi thought for a while: "All killed."

"I just meant it."

Chutian was not at ease with Hou Jing's surrender. Although they offered the city and surrendered, they once followed Hou Jing in Pengchengguo and Jiujiang County, burning, killing and looting, arousing public grievances, and civilians would be angry if they did not kill.

This time, Guo Jia took the initiative to surrender. From beginning to end, Chu Tian didn't promise to let the soldiers drop the blame. Therefore, the culprit must be carried by the staff member Guo Jia. Chutian still promises a lot of money.

Guo Jia said, Hou Jing's hundreds of centurions and thousands of captains fell to their heads.

The rest of the soldiers will be dispatched to the mine and become coolies.

There are many disciples of the Liang family in Huainan, even if Hou Jing is not included, there is not much loss to Chu Tian.

Chutian got Guo Jia and was introduced as an assistant to train with Lu Su. Guo Jia and Lu Su are similar in age.

[Name]: Guo Jia

【Talent】: Imperial adviser

[Level]: 31

[Identity]: Adviser under Cao Cao's account in the late Eastern Han

【Loyalty】: 82

[Commander]: 37 (upper limit 52)

[Strength]: 10 (upper limit 11)

[Intelligence]: 89 (upper limit 97)

[Politics]: 70 (upper limit 84)

[Charm]: 75

[Phaseality]: Unruly

[Friendly Degree]: 60

[Feature 1]: Ghost (SS-level feature, with a high probability of seeing through the opponent’s monarch’s character, a high probability of seeing through the opponent’s strategy, the probability of troops being ambushed, fire attacked, lost and other negative states reduced)

[Feature 2]: Lost plan (S-level feature, three months before the end of life, intelligence +2, but surprisingly)

[Characteristic 3]: Tian jealous talent (negative characteristics, easy to die early, prone to serious illness when marching for a long time)

Guo Jia's abilities are indeed very strong, and he can easily see through the personality and strategy of the opposing monarch, but this "fortune" and "tian jealous of talent" characteristics have a lot of influence.

This may be the true heavenly jealous talent in the legend, who can burst out of 99 intelligence before dying.

If possible, Chu Tian naturally does not want Guo Jia to die.

A normal Guo Jia is enough to serve as a military division in the army, there is no need to pursue 99 intelligence.

Back in Xuzhou, he had to find a way to get the genius doctor Hua Tuo to see Guo Jia's illness. If it is not terminally ill, Hua Tuo might be able to rejuvenate his life and eliminate the negative characteristics of Guo Jia's "tian jealous talent".

Chutian counted the military divisions under his command, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Guo Jia, Lu Su, and Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Cao Gu in the future. Basically, a major army can be equipped with a top adviser.

For other forces, it is simply a luxury.

Which force can have such a large group of king-level and imperial-level advisers?

Chutian's advisory lineup is equivalent to the advisory lineup during the peak of Cao Wei.

"Under Guo Fengxiao."

"Lu Zijing."

Guo Jia and Lu Su two counsellors served for Chu Tian and became the second-generation counselors. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were obviously older. As for Zhuge Liang, he is a third-generation adviser.

"Bongxiao, you just need to be alive."

Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia once served as colleagues under the prefect of Jiujiang. At this time, Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia joined Chutian successively, became Chutian's subordinates, and became colleagues again.

Guo Jia's expression was a little bleak: "I was too negligent to cause the old master to be killed by Hou Jing."

"The old master trusted Hou Jing too much, thinking that if he saves Hou Jing, Hou Jing will be loyal to him."

Chen Qingzhi was very embarrassed to see Guo Jia.

Chu Tian noticed that the friendship between Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia was unexpectedly good. Heroes of different dynasties seemed to have a new circle in "Lord".

Guo Jia should know a group of counsellors in Yingchuan County. If you can use Guo Jia's relationship with Xun's family in the future, it would be great to recruit Xun You and Xun Yu.

The Xuzhou Army Corps entered Shouchun, opened warehouses for disaster relief and eliminated flooding.

Chutian has not yet relaxed.

Guo Jia saw Chutian's thoughts and asked, "Is it possible that the lord has got Shouchun and Hefei, but he is not satisfied?"

"Feng Xiao knows me too. If you have Huai and look at the river, I will attack Lujiang and sweep Huainan."

Chutian did not hide his ambition in front of Guo Jia.

For Guo Jia, an ambitious lord is more worthy of allegiance.

"The Shu County and Wan County of Lujiang County are the most important, but the guards of Lujiang County will be Huanwen and Zuti. They are stationed in Shu County, supported by the people, and I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer. Hou Jing attacked Lujiang not long ago and was defeated by Huanwen. In Shouchun and Hefei, the hearts of the people are unstable. If the attack on Lujiang fails, I am afraid of repetition."

Guo Jia lived in Shouchun for a period of time, and he followed Hou Jing to attack Lujiang. He witnessed Hou Jing being defeated by Huan Wen. He had a good understanding of the situation in Lujiang County and discouraged Chutian from giving up taking Lujiang County.

The reason is also very simple. To the Lujiang Prefect Tongque, Shucheng is equivalent to Xiacheng to Chutian.

Shucheng people's heart is higher than 90, facing the Xuzhou army to attack, he will definitely swear to defend and fight to defend the city. Even if Chutian spent several months, it might not be able to capture Shu County.

"Even if Shu County can't be defeated, my army can plunder the population of Lujiang County and enrich Hefei and Shouchun."

Chutian didn't plan to let go of the Lujiang County of Tongque, even if he robbed tens of thousands of households and migrated to Hefei, that would be a profit.

"The lord, Guangling prefect Chen Yuanlong recommends one person and thinks that this person can be the prefect of Jiujiang."

When Chutian was about to enter Lujiang County, the talents recommended by Chen Deng came to Shouchun.
