Chapter 275
"Then according to Prime Minister Changsu, what is the reason for this?"
Liu Bei's face also flashed with suspicion.
Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then arched his hand: "Minister, please go to the street pavilion one step ahead of the army and take a look." "
Liu Bei promised.
Xiao Yuan, escorted by more than 100 horsemen of Xu Chu, rushed to the street pavilion day and night.
...
A day later, the street pavilion.
Zhang He and Deng Ai accompanied Xiao Yuan to the watchtower and looked at the Qin army on the Jigu Cliff from afar.
The Qin camp on the top of the cliff was as usual, and I didn't see the soldiers anxious~, and the morale of the army was low.
Xiao Yuan could even see that Qin Jun was actually drying clothes!
According to Zhang He, the water source of the Qin army was cut off on the same day that his soldiers were in the street pavilion, and it had been at least more than three days since then.
In three days, the Qin army's water should have been exhausted long ago, and it was strange that it fell into a thirsty situation.
But Qin Jun is still extravagant enough to be able to wash clothes?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xiao Yuanguang would have really couldn't believe it based on the battle report.
"This Cao Hong is very sad..."
Xiao Yuan smiled coldly, and then asked, "In the past three days, are you sure that the Qin army has not come down the mountain to steal water?"
Zhang He hurriedly said: "We have completely sealed the northern slope, and in the past three days, the Qin army has not a single soldier to go down the mountain to get water." "
"The last general and General Zhang are very strange, obviously we have cut off the water source, why the Qin army on the mountain seems to have no shortage of water at all. "
Deng Ai also expressed his doubts.
"Interesting..."
The corners of Xiao Yuan's mouth slanted, and then said, "Let's go, let's go around this Jigu Cliff." "
Zhang He and Deng Ai glanced at each other.
Zhang He said: "This Jigu Cliff is a cliff on three sides, and only the north slope can go up and down, so I don't need to look at the prime minister anymore." "
"What if there are cliffs on three sides, the Yinping trail is so steep, Deng Shizai has not gone through. "
Xiao Yuan didn't think so, turned around and went down the watchtower.
Zhang He and Deng Ai were slightly shocked, so they had to follow.
Xiao Yuan, accompanied by the second general, began to circle around the Jigu Cliff.
As the two of them said, the mountain is almost vertical on three sides, and there is not even a place for the birds to stand, let alone the soldiers up and down.
Xiao Yuan stared at the cliff, and when he came to the back of the mountain, he suddenly stopped.
His eyes widened, and his suspicious gaze shot at the cliff, as if he had seen something.
After a long time, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang He and Deng Ai saw him like this, and their hearts became more and more suspicious, and they couldn't help but look at each other again.
"Cao Hong and Ma Yan, they are really not stupid..."
Xiao Yuan suddenly sighed with emotion.
Zhang He Deng Ai's eyes became more and more confused.
Good and decent, why did this Prime Minister Xiao Cheng evaluate that Cao Hong is not stupid?
It's just a matter of evaluating Cao Hong, why did he suddenly have a horse?
Which green onion is that?
"Do you know that Cao Hong was obviously cut off from the water source in front of the mountain, why can the army still be distracted. "
Xiao Yuan put away his emotion and suddenly asked again.
The two will shake their heads.
"That's because, in addition to the clear water source of the small river in front of the mountain, there is also a dark spring hidden in the back of the mountain!"
Xiao Yuan's horsewhip pointed towards the mountain wall.
"Dark water?"
Zhang He Deng Ai's body was shocked, and his eyes shot at the cliff behind the mountain in surprise.
Deng Aiqi said: "How can the prime minister conclude that there is still a dark spring hidden in the back of this mountain?"
"Look at this cliff at the back of the mountain, there are dozens of black marks on the wall, and I guess most of them are water marks. "
"It must be caused by the water splashed out of the wooden barrel of the Qin army on the mountain that wet the cliff. "
It is assumed that there must be a dark spring hidden under the back of the mountain. "
This also explains why Cao Hong was cut off from water for several days, but he was still undisturbed, and even had the luxury of letting his soldiers wash their clothes. "
This can also prove that Cao Hong is not stupid, why he still sent troops to the mountain knowing that there was a risk of being cut off from the water supply. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Because from the very beginning, he knew that there were two water sources in this valley cliff, one bright and one dark, and he was not afraid that we would cut off his clear water source at all!"
Xiao Yuan's horse whip pointed at the distance, breaking the mystery.
The second will suddenly realize.
Zhang He patted his leg: "I see, the last general is really stupid, I didn't see it, fortunately there is a prime minister." "
Xiao Yuan smiled and said nothing.
According to this speculation, Ma Jian in history must have relied on his own dark water source, so he dared to abandon the street pavilion and go up the mountain.
It's a pity that in the end, Zhang He discovered the dark water source and cut it off together, which led to the annihilation of the whole army.
Under normal circumstances, even if he didn't come to the front line of the street pavilion, it wouldn't take long for Zhang He to discover this dark water source as he did in history.
What's more, there is Deng Ai as his lieutenant.
"This dark water source has been discovered, and General Zhang will send troops to take it and let Cao Hong cry. "
Xiao Yuan reminded with a smile.
Zhang He's eyes gathered with murderous intent, and shouted: "Deng Shizai listens to the order!"
"The last general!"
Deng Ai stepped forward angrily.
Zhang He pointed to the back of the mountain: "Today, you will lead 5,000 elite soldiers to capture Cao Hong's dark water source and completely cut off his way of drawing water!"
"The last general obeys!"
...
At nightfall.
Deng Ai led 5,000 elite soldiers into the woods to the south.
All the way to the back of the mountain, I saw that at the foot of the mountain, there was a Qin army camp.
Looking at the scale, there should be about two thousand Qin troops.
This Qin army must be Cao Hong's men and horses used to protect the dark water source.
"Prime Minister Changsu, he is really a god and a man!"
Deng Ai was amazed.
Then the killing machine was blazing, and the silver gun pointed at it: "The whole army obeys the order, breaks through the enemy camp, and captures the dark spring!"
When the order was passed, the 5,000 Han army was in a roar, and with the sound of earth-shattering killing, they swept towards the Qin camp.
Inside the Qin camp.
Except for the soldiers on duty, most of the Qin soldiers were already asleep.
In the Chinese military tent, Li Dian was also preparing to unload his armor and sleep.
Ever since Cao Hong ordered him to lead his army to camp on the back of the mountain to protect the Dark Spring, he had been in a state of nervous tension for several days.
Cao Hong camped on the Jigu Cliff, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
He camped at the foot of the mountain, and there was almost no danger to defend.
Once discovered by the Han army, the army came to attack, and with his two thousand soldiers and horses, there was no way to resist it.
Fortunately, everything was as Cao Hong expected, the Han army was stationed on the northern slope, and there was no encampment on the other three sides.
The threat seemed to have been lifted, and Li Dian's mood relaxed, and tonight he finally stopped sleeping with Jia, planning to take off his armor and sleep peacefully.
Just as he lay down.
Outside the tent, an earth-shattering sound suddenly sounded.
Li Dian's sleepiness was shattered in an instant, and he jumped up, and he didn't even care about putting on his armor, so he rushed out of the tent.
"General, something is wrong!"
"Countless Han troops have emerged outside the woods, attacking our camp at night!"
A member of the colonel rushed to him, shouting in a trembling voice.
Li Dian's heart chuckled, and his face instantly turned as white as paper.
