After Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao's words, he sighed, "Lord, if we in Langya County encounter the local defenders, they will definitely block our advance.
The Jingzhou Army will leave when they see me, and they will definitely pursue me. By then, our army will most likely be surrounded by two sides, and I'm afraid the situation will be even more dangerous. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde couldn't help being surprised, and said with a forced smile, "Zhongde, the Jingzhou Army has already captured Xuzhou. If they see us leaving, they may not chase us, right?"
At this point, Cao Mengde's tone paused, but then he continued without waiting for Cheng Yu to answer his words, "As long as the Jingzhou army does not pursue them from behind, even if the soldiers and horses of Langya County intercept them from the front, it is not a cause for concern. , with our strength, we will be able to get through smoothly."
Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed, "My Lord, if there is only the Jingzhou Army, then of course they will not pursue it, because their main purpose is to occupy Xuzhou.
But don't forget that there is Liu Xuande. The hatred between us is as deep as the sea. Even if the Jingzhou Army wants to let us go, I'm afraid Liu Xuande will not agree.
I can say with certainty that with Liu Xuande in this team, the Jingzhou Army will definitely pursue us, and there will definitely be no accidents. "
Cao Mengde thought of the hatred between Liu Xuande and was stunned for a long time. He suddenly sighed and nodded, "Zhongde, you are right. As long as Liu Xuande is here, he will never let us go."
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said, "In this case, the road to Qingzhou may not be feasible."
Cao Mengde let out a long sigh, "We have nowhere to go except to Qingzhou."
Cheng Yu nodded, "My lord, it seems to be a crisis now. As long as we can repel the Jingzhou army, we can quickly reorganize Xuzhou. By then, the lost strength will be restored quickly, and everything will not be enough." Consider it."
After hearing this, Cao Mengde sighed again, "Zhongde, do you mean to defend Xiapi City?"
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Lord, if we don't defend Xiapi City, we may have no way to retreat."
Cao Mengde smiled bitterly and said, "Zhongde, have you forgotten what I just said? The terrain of Xiapi City is too low. If we use water attack, it will be even more dangerous."
Cheng Yu frowned, "My lord, the areas around Xuzhou, Jiangdong, Huainan, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou are almost all enemies. If we force our way through, it will probably be even more dangerous, especially in Yanzhou. How could Lu Bu let us go?"
Huainan has become a sworn enemy. As long as they hear that we are going, I am afraid they will send troops to attack as soon as possible. Now we have no choice but to hold on to Xuzhou. I am afraid there is no other way. "
Cao Mengde's expression changed, "Zhongde, but if the Jingzhou army uses water attack, our army will also be in danger!"
Cheng Yu frowned and said slowly, "If we use water attack, we will just borrow the water in the river."
At this point, Cheng Yu paused and thought carefully, "Xiapi City is strong. Even if we use water attack, as long as we seal the city gate, it may not be effective."
Cao Mengde frowned, "What if the city gate is sealed and people in the city cannot come in and out?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said with a smile, "My lord, haven't you noticed that the terrain to the east of the city is much higher than the terrain to the west of the city."
Hearing this, Cao Mengde suddenly realized, because he remembered that the players once said that even if a water attack was used, it would not flood the entire city, but a part of it, and there would be almost nothing in the east of the city.
Thinking of this, Cao Mengde's eyes lit up and he thought carefully in his heart.
The three gates in the north, south, west and south of Xiapi City were sealed, leaving only the east gate. In this way, even if the Jingzhou army used water attacks, they would be unable to attack the city.
What's more, if it is flooded, the Jingzhou army will naturally not be able to attack the city.
Cheng Yu said slowly, "In order to prevent accidents, we can first move the food in the city to higher places, and then set up mud walls in the city to block the incoming flood.
Even if the enemy uses water attacks at that time, as long as we are fully prepared, they may suffer greater damage than us. "
Cao Mengde nodded slowly, frowned and said, "If this is the case, Xiapi City can really be defended."
Cheng Yu said slowly, "Lord, since we know they are going to use water to attack, why not prepare more rafts. Once the floods flood, we can have soldiers sit on rafts to attack the enemy's camp."
At this point, Cheng Yu's tone suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Cao Mengde looked a little strange and asked tentatively, "Zhongde, what did you think of?"
Cheng Yu was awakened and said slowly, "Master, since they know that the terrain here is low, they will use water attack, but I can predict that they will never be able to tell it at first.
So, since they can't see it, why don't we take advantage of this and defeat them? "
When Cao Mengde heard these words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Yu. After a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Zhongde, you are right, why didn't I think of that, haha!"
Cheng Yu nodded, "Lord, if the place where the Jingzhou Army sets up its camp is on a relatively low ground, we can take advantage of this and dig up the river embankment in advance, and immediately release water to kill them when they are not paying attention. The camp was flooded."
At this point, Cheng Yu already laughed, "And we knew that a flood was coming, so we prepared rafts in advance. As soon as the flood came, we would immediately send soldiers on the rafts to attack the enemy camps washed away by the flood. "
At this point, a sneer suddenly appeared on Cheng Yu's lips, "Although the Jingzhou Army has more people than us, but coupled with the water attack, they are definitely no match for us. Maybe we can completely wipe them out this time.
"First Evolution"
Although the three Liu Xuande brothers are brave, they may not be as powerful in the water, and they may even beg for mercy in the water. "
Hearing this, all the sadness on Cao Mengde's face disappeared, and his face was already full of ecstasy.
"Ha ha!"
"Zhongde, that's great. I never expected that the flood, which is detrimental to our army, can actually help us defeat the enemy. Haha, I never expected it!"
Cao Meng really didn't expect that this strategy could be used.
According to the players, Xiapi City is an ominous place. As long as the enemy uses water attacks, they will definitely be defeated.
But now, with this strategy, no one can guarantee who will win.
The only thing that can be guaranteed is that Fang Sheng's hope is greater.
