    Tadun is Yuan Shao's reinforcements, so he is naturally Liu Ke's enemy.

    For foreigners, Liu Ke¡¯s kindness was reserved only for women and children.

    In fact, Zhuge Liang¡¯s plan was not particularly clever, he simply took the initiative into his own hands.

    There is nothing wrong with Guo Tu¡¯s plan.  If it can be taken by surprise, it can indeed cause great harm to the Yangzhou Army.

    Many people in the Yangzhou Army are wearing armor and are invincible on land, but they will become a burden in the water.

    It is unimaginable how many people the Yangzhou Army will lose once Guo Tu's plan succeeds.

    "But to dig the Zhanghe embankment, we have to send out manpower, right?"

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s first step was to send people to expel the Jizhou soldiers responsible for the excavation, and take the initiative to release the water into his own hands.

    The moment Guo Tu¡¯s plan was revealed, it had already failed.

    In order to complete this task, a bold and careful general is needed, so Zhuge Liang handed over this important task to Zhao Yun.

    Liu Ke has always used Zhao Yun as a handsome man. Now he does such a small thing, which is indeed a disgrace to his talent.

    Zhuge Liang is also very courageous, even Zhao Yun dares to assign him.

    Fortunately, Zhao Yun had a good temper and did not rely on his power to reject Zhuge Liang and agreed to the matter.

    " Releasing the water is not a trivial matter. Zhao Yun personally checked it, which made Liu Ke feel relieved.

    As for expelling the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, it is just a matter of effort.

    Is it possible that Yuan Shao will go out of the city to fight Liu Ke because of this?

    It¡¯s impossible even if you think about it.

    As for seducing Tadun, Lu Bu is responsible for it.

    When Liu Kezhen beheaded Qiu Liju, Lu Bu was also present, and Tadun must have known him.

    Therefore, it is most suitable for Lu Bu to lure the enemy.

    With this arrangement, the initiative lies in the hands of the Yangzhou Army.

    In order to convey the message in time, the Yangzhou Army also prepared beacons.

    Of course, Zhuge Liang also considered Yecheng's reaction and asked Taishi Ci to command the cavalry and prepare for battle at any time.

    After the arrangements were made, the task was not carried out directly. Zhuge Liang also conducted an on-site inspection.

    After returning, Zhuge Liang looked melancholy.

    "Kong Ming, what have you discovered?" Liu Kedao said.

    "Lord, I see that the terrain of Yecheng is low. I'm afraid that once the flood passes, Yecheng will suffer." Zhuge Liang said.

    Yuan Shaojun naturally does not need to think about it. Zhuge Liang is worried about the people of Yecheng.

    Due to the war, nearly half a million people gathered in Yecheng at this moment.

    Yecheng was originally a large city in the north, and now it is the focus of Yuan Shao's management, so people naturally like to hide there.

    So Zhuge Liang hesitated, not knowing whether to continue executing this plan.

    However, this reminded Liu Ke.

    "This matter is simple. Our army can surround Yecheng and dig a river channel." Liu Kedao.

    This will be a huge project.

    Zhuge Liang was very smart and understood Liu Ke¡¯s intention instantly.

    That is to say, the rivers are used to surround Yecheng.

    Yecheng is adjacent to the river, so the place that needs to be excavated is close to the Yangzhou Army barracks.

    The only thing that needs to be considered is Tadun's attack, so you must move quickly.

    It is not difficult for the well-trained Yangzhou Army.

    Tadun¡¯s soldiers and horses are stationed ten miles away from Yecheng. As long as they are cut off from Yecheng, the response will be slow.

    Just do it!

    Liu Ke sent Zhang He and Tai Shi Ci to lead the cavalry, responsible for encircling and suppressing the enemy's scouts, especially the line from Yecheng to Tadun military camp.

    Yecheng directly reduced its defenses and ignored them. After all, there were not many cavalry in the city.

    As for Tadun, he resisted several times, but was taught how to behave by Taishi Ci and Zhang He together.

    In order to stop the loss, Tadun acted honestly.

    That night, Liu Ke dispatched 200,000 troops to dig the river channel, and 100,000 people stood guard.

    This incident certainly alarmed Yecheng, but they did not dare to act in vain.

    "What is the Marquis of Dongyang doing?" Yuan Shao stood on the city wall and looked from a distance. However, he could only vaguely see some lights.

    "My lord, Dongyang Marquis is digging a gully." Guo Tu said. He came here first and found out the first-hand information after sacrificing the lives of some scouts.

    "Digging gullies? Is there any profound meaning in it?" Yuan Shao was surprised.Doubtful.

    "My Lord, I see that the troops dispatched by Marquis Dongyang number no less than 200,000. Can we move in advance?" Guo Tu suggested.

    Yuan Shao¡¯s eyes became fiery instantly. If he could easily eliminate one-third of Dongyang Hou¡¯s troops.

    That would be really cool!

    Jizhou may not have no chance.

    "Okay!" Yuan Shao agreed immediately.

    So, Guo Tu sent five thousand soldiers and horses to prepare to dig the river embankment.

    However, as soon as he left the city gate, he was detected by the Yangzhou Army's scouts.

    Zhao Yun was not polite to them, and took advantage of the darkness to directly attack the army.

    "No, I've been discovered!" Guo Tu was shocked and crawled back to the city.

    As for the five thousand soldiers and horses, they were naturally given to Zhao Yun.

    In just half an hour, five thousand soldiers and horses died and surrendered.

    Guo Tu accomplished nothing.

    "Sure enough, Marquis Dongyang just doesn't give him a chance." Yuan Shao sighed.

    "Lord, if our army sets off again, we will definitely be able to catch them by surprise." Tian Feng suggested.

    Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and Guo Tu could only lead his army to attack again.

    However, this trick was left by Liu Ke. As Liu Ke¡¯s most trusted general, how could Zhao Yun be unprepared?

    He killed Guo Tu again and fled in defeat.

    "Thank you so much for Yuan Jizhou's head!"

    Zhao Yun ordered his people to taunt him outside the city, looking very naughty.

    Yuan Shao was so filled with hatred that he finally held back and did not fight.

    Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

    Yuan Shao stood on the city wall all night, fearing that Liu Ke would suddenly enter the city.

    This premonition is very strong.

    But Liu Ke really didn¡¯t mean that.

    The army was still digging river channels and almost circled Yecheng.

    "Is there any movement in Tadun?" Liu Ke asked.

    "Reporting to my lord, no." Guo Jiada said.

    Liu Ke was finally relieved. The biggest threat now was not Yuan Shaojun in the city, but Tadun.

    If Tadun really goes to fight, I'm afraid Liu Ke will be in a hurry for a while.

    Fortunately, Tadun doesn¡¯t seem willing to fight at night.

    Therefore, the excavation work went smoothly, and by dawn, the river channel had been excavated.

    It is ten meters wide and about three meters deep.

    In just one night, the Yangzhou Army completed the project.

    "Let Lu Bu set off and see if he can lure Tadun here. If not, just break the embankment." Liu Kedao.

    Even if the city cannot be flooded, it can still complete the siege of Yecheng. For Liu Ke, it is a sure profit.

    The reason Liu Ke was so eager was because he was afraid that Yuan Shao would make a mistake and fill up the ravine.

    Before Yuan Shao can react, take advantage of it.

    In fact, Liu Ke¡¯s worries are unnecessary.

    Because Guo Tu said something.

    "I'm afraid, Dongyang Hou also wants to use the Zhang River to attack Yecheng!"

    Yuan Shao was extremely shocked. In this way, Zhao Yun's actions last night can be explained.

    How could the Marquis of Dongyang do this? There are still 500,000 people in Yecheng!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
