Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 323: Guo Jia Xiancheng
"Use water attack!"
More than 100,000 villagers were organized to dig the river, intending to directly divert the Fei water to flood Shouchun.
Huainan has been raining heavily for several days, the dirt road is muddy, the water level has skyrocketed, and the turnover of food is cumbersome. If Shouchun cannot be captured within two months, the Xuzhou Corps may have to retreat.
The scouts Hou Jing sent to investigate outside the city found that the Xuzhou Army Corps was diverting the Fei River, and couldn't help but panic. Once Shouchun is submerged by Fei water, no one can escape.
Hou Jing tried to struggle and led his soldiers out of the city to fight many times, but was repelled by Chen Qingzhi.
Knowing that he has a lot of bad luck, Hou Jing simply sits back and ignores it after experiencing despair, drinking and having fun in the city, spending his days passively.
Mi Fang, who lacks the ability to command troops and horses, is responsible for digging river channels and diverting Fei water.
Fei Shui, as a branch of Huai Shui, can be used for water attack because of the rainy days and the river water has skyrocketed.
Mi Fang regarded the task of diverting the Fei water as Chu Tian's trust in him, and carried a shovel to dig the river.
Chu Tian patiently waited for the water to submerge Shouchun, and at the same time he ordered Xu Sheng to prepare a large number of grain-carrying ships to prepare to attack Shouchun city wall from the water.
Zang Ba and Sun Guan's Langya Defense Corps supported Hefei, assisting Yang Ye and Joan of Arc to defeat the famous Eastern Jin generals Huan Wen and Zu Ti, and defend Hefei.
Huan Wenwen and Zuti found that the main force of the Xuzhou Corps noticed the importance of Hefei, and knew that there was no chance to win back the fertilizer, so they withdrew.
The Lujiang and Chai Sang troops attacked Hefei for seven days, with 6,000 casualties, and the army was shaken.
The Invincible Legion and the Servant Legion lost 3,000 or 4,000 casualties in order to block Huanwen Wen and Zuti's offensive, and the losses were also not small.
Yang Ye's invincible army can still recruit supplements, but the servant army cannot be supplemented in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After the formation of the Servant Legion, after many battles, the number has shrunk a lot. Even if the main general Joan of Arc was almost killed in battle, it can be considered that he shed blood for Xuzhou Mu. Chu Tian also ordered Yang Ye to send scouts to peep at Lujiang.
As long as Shouchun is captured, the main army may not be able to attack Lujiang.
"Long look to Shu, Huai look to Jiang."
Chutian feels the greed of human nature, even if he himself is no exception.
If you conquer Longyou, you will want to enter Shu, and if you conquer Huainan, you will want to drink horses and the Yangtze River.
Although it has been raining heavily recently, because of Mulan's warm bed, Chutian's life is not bad, at least much better than that of the guards trapped in Shouchun City.
"My lord, the excavation of the river has been completed, and the water level of Fei water has risen sharply. You can dig an earth dam to fill the city at any time!"
Mi Fang hurriedly came to Chutian and reported the results triumphantly.
"All armies seize the high ground and divert water to fill the city tomorrow."
The next day, Mi Fang excitedly led thousands of villagers to destroy the earth dam.
The defenders of Shouchun City are having a headache due to the rainy days.
Suddenly, the defenders of Shouchun City felt the ground shaking, as if a giant beast was approaching in the distance. They peered uncomfortably on the city wall, and the defenders outside the city had already withdrawn.
"Earthquake?"
The defenders thought it was an earthquake.
Guo Jia's face changed slightly: "The Fei water is going to fill the city."
The rumbling sound is approaching, the flood destroys the trees and rocks outside the city, whirls and slams, and hits the city wall of Shouchun City! The flood slammed against the city wall, and the turbid water splashed on the faces of the defenders!
The defenders watched in horror as the flood raged into the city, and couldn't help being horrified.
Although the flood would not cause Shouchun City to fall immediately, it did a serious blow to the morale of the defenders of Shouchun City. All the guards were apprehensive.
Without reinforcements outside, flooded inside, and soldiers lacking fighting spirit, it is only a matter of time before Shouchun falls.
Hou Jing was drunk in the city, and 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 was stationed at a high place and saw Shouchun City turned into a swamp, which was also a helpless move. If the embankment is not broken, the siege will lose more.
However, the water attack was good for a while. After occupying Shouchun City, it was enough to appease the civilians and deal with the stagnant water.
Chutian can only appoint a Jiujiang prefect to govern Shouchun and let him have a headache...
Xu Sheng temporarily assembled a fleet to pass through the Huaihe River and enter the Feishui River. He appeared outside Shouchun City, making the Shouchun defenders even more terrified.
"Chu Zimou thought that the city could be captured by flooding Shouchun, but he underestimated me, Hou Jing!"
Hou Jingqiang recruited 200,000 men, and while draining water, he continued to stick to Shouchun.
Within three days, thousands of civilians died due to overwork.
Hou Jing guarded the city during the day, and continued to be drunk at night.
However, Guo Jia has begun to lobby Hou Jing's subordinates.
The generals under Hou Jing's command were divided into two groups, one of which was Hou Jing's former troops, and the other was Yuan Shu's generals who were abducted by Hou Jing to Huainan.
On the fourth day of Feishui Guancheng, when Hou Jing woke up drunk, he found that he was bound by Wu Hua, and not only Yuan Shu's generals, but also some of his old troops were bound.
Hou Jing was immediately furious, with blue veins on his forehead: "How dare you betray me!"
A general said: "General, Shouchun is surrounded by many, floods flood the city, and the siege continues. Once the plague breaks out, no one can survive in the whole Shouchun. Sacrifice you alone, let Shouchun City hundreds of thousands of people. People can be saved, why not do it?"
"Stupid! As long as we hold on for a while, Xuzhou Mu's army will definitely retreat due to lack of food, and we are still the masters of Shouchun!"
Hou Jing's eyes were fierce, and the general who betrayed him couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, and he was still terrified of Hou Jing.
"Hou Jing, how does it feel to be betrayed by your subordinates?"
Guo Jia arrived under the protection of several Hu cavalry soldiers, condescending.
These Hu soldiers were originally used by Hou Jing to monitor Guo Jia, but they were persuaded by Guo Jia to participate in the rebellion together.
"You didn't offer me a plan, but instead hurt me. I hate that I didn't kill you that day!"
Hou Jing understood that most of his subordinates were persuaded to rebel by Guo Jia, otherwise they would not even betray him.
Guo Jia's eyes are arrogant: "I persuaded you not to provoke Chu Zimou that day, but you didn't listen, why did you say I didn't make a plan? You didn't kill me, not because you were so kind, but because you were too kind to yourself. too conceited."
"Damn..."
Hou Jing was deliberately provoked by Guo Jia and wanted to rush up to kill Guo Jia, but was held down by his generals.
"This thief has done a lot of evil, so he dedicated it to Xuzhou Shepherd."
Guo Jia got his revenge, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
"My lord, the Shouchun defenders offer the city to surrender!"
Chu Tian, commanding Hua Mulan, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and others to supervise the battle, was deciding to take Shouchun City in one go and capture the most important city in Huainan, but Shouchun City surrendered voluntarily.
"Presumably the Fei water flooded the city, and people's minds changed."
"The Last Admiral goes to investigate!"
Mi Fang volunteered and led more than a thousand soldiers into Shouchun, confirming that the defenders were not swindling.
The Shouchun defenders were attacked by water, and they lost their fighting spirit. Almost all of them surrendered. Even if some people resisted, they were killed by their own people.
Hou Jing, who was in chaos in Huainan, was brought to Chutian by Guo Jia and several rebel generals.
Hou Jing knew that he would die, and he did not ask for mercy.
Guo Jia seems to be less than 20: "Follow filial piety to meet Xuzhou Mu."
"I don't like getting Hou Jing and Shouchun, but I just like Feng Xiao."
As usual, Chutian praised various talents.
Sure enough, Guo Jia, who was still a bit warm-hearted, was quite moved. It seemed that Xuzhou herdsmen were thirsty for talents.
"Hou Jing harmed Huainan, and the people suffered deeply. Xuzhou animal husbandry crusades Huainan and eliminates harm for the people. He considers filial piety as a righteousness. If Xuzhou animal husbandry does not dislike it, he will serve as his staff with filial piety."
Guo Jia took the initiative to join Chutian. If it wasn't for Chu Tian leading the army to conquer Huainan, causing panic within Hou Jing, he would not be able to persuade Hou Jing's subordinates to defect anyway.
"Ding! The imperial advisor Guo Jia is loyal to you."
Chutian received a prompt from the system.
Guo Jia was one of the foremost advisers in the Three Kingdoms period.
The top strategists are actually 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 richer the protagonist's family background is, the more room for them to play.
"Ziyun, Hou Jing will be handed over to you."
Chu Tian handed Hou Jing to Chen Qingzhi.
Without saying a word, Chen Qingzhi drew his sword and beheaded Hou Jing. Hou Jing, who harmed Huainan, died so easily.
"Fengxiao thinks, what should I do with the surrendered generals in Huainan?"
After killing Hou Jing, Chu Tian asked Guo Jia about the handling of Huainan's surrender.
Guo Jia thought for a while: "Kill them all."
"That's what I meant."
Chu Tian was also worried about Hou Jing's surrender. Although they sacrificed the city and surrendered, they once followed Hou Jing in Pengcheng and Jiujiang County to burn, kill and loot, causing public resentment.
This time, Guo Jia offered the city to surrender. From beginning to end, Chu Tian did not promise to let go of the surrender. Therefore, the culprit must be carried by the staff member Guo Jia. Chutian is still a promise.
Guo Jia said a word, and the heads of hundreds of centurions and thousand commanders under Hou Jing's command fell to the ground.
The rest of the soldiers were sent to the mines and became coolies.
Huainan had many disciples from a good family, and even if they did not include Hou Jing's corps, Chutian would not suffer much.
Chu Tian got Guo Jia, and he used him as a staff member to train him with Lu Su. Guo Jia and Lu Su are about the same age.
【Name】: Guo Jia
[Talent]: Imperial Adviser
[Level]: 31
[Identity]: Cao Cao's advisor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty
[Loyalty]: 82
[Commander]: 37 (up to 52)
[Army]: 10 (up to 11)
[Intelligence]: 89 (up to 97)
[Politics]: 70 (up to 84)
【Charm】: 75
【Characteristics】: Uninhibited
【Favorability】: 60
[Characteristic 1]: Ghost Talent (SS-level characteristics, high probability to see through the character of the opponent's monarch, high probability to see through the opponent's strategy, reduced probability of troops being ambushed, attacked by fire, lost, etc.)
[Characteristic 2]: A legacy (S-level trait, three months before the end of life, intelligence +2, can be used to make a surprise)
[Trait 3]: Heaven envy talents (negative trait, easy to die early, easy to get seriously ill when marching for a long time)
Guo Jia's ability is indeed very strong, and he can easily see through the character and strategy of the opponent's monarch, but the characteristics of this "legacy plan" and "heaven's jealousy of talents" have a considerable impact.
This may be the real jealous talent in the legend, who can explode with 99 intelligence before dying.
If it is possible, Chutian naturally does not want Guo Jia to die.
A normal Guo Jia is enough to serve as a military division of a legion, and there is no need to pursue the intelligence of 99.
When I returned to Xuzhou, I had to find a way to get the genius doctor Hua Tuo to see Guo Jia. If not terminally ill, Hua Tuo might be able to rejuvenate and eliminate Guo Jia's negative trait of "envy of talents".
Chu Tian counted his military advisors, including Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Guo Jia, Lu Su, and in the future, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Cao Gu. Basically, a main army can be equipped with a top advisor.
For other powers, it is simply a luxury.
Which faction can have such a large group of king-level and emperor-level advisors?
Chutian's strategist lineup is equivalent to that of Cao Wei's peak period.
"Guo Fengxiao in the lower house."
"Lu Zijing."
Guo Jia and Lu Su, two advisors, served for Chutian and became the second generation of advisors. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were obviously older. As for Zhuge Liang, he was the third generation of advisers.
"Fengxiao, it's good that you are still 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 subordinate officials, and became colleagues again.
Guo Jia's expression was a little gloomy: "I was too negligent, so that the old master was killed by Hou Jing."
"The old master trusted Hou Jing too much, thinking that if he saved Hou Jing, Hou Jing would be loyal to him."
When Chen Qingzhi saw Guo Jia, he was very sad.
Chu Tian noticed that the friendship between Chen Qingzhi and Guo Jia was surprisingly good. Heroes from different dynasties seemed to have a new circle in "Lord".
Guo Jia should know a group of advisors in Yingchuan County. It would be great if he could use Guo Jia's relationship with the Xun family to recruit Xun You and Xun Yu.
Xuzhou Corps entered Shouchun, opened warehouses for disaster relief, and eliminated floods.
Chutian has not relaxed yet.
Guo Jia saw Chu Tian's thoughts~IndoMTL.com~ and asked, "Could it be that the lord is not satisfied with Shouchun and Hefei?"
"Feng Xiao knows me too. If I have Huai and look at the river, I will attack the Lujiang and sweep across Huainan."
Chu Tian made no secret of his ambitions in front of Guo Jia.
For Guo Jia, an ambitious lord is more worthy of allegiance.
"Shu County and Wan County in Lujiang County are the most important, but the governors of Lujiang County will be Huan Wen and Zuti. They are stationed in Shu County and are supported by the people. I am afraid it will be difficult to capture. Hou Jing attacked Lujiang not long ago and was defeated by Huan Wen. The lord was in Shouchun and Hefei at the beginning, and his heart was unstable. If he failed to attack Lujiang, he was afraid of repeating."
Guo Jia lived in Shouchun for a period of time, and followed Hou Jing to attack Lujiang. He witnessed Hou Jing being defeated by Huan Wen, and he knew the situation of Lujiang County quite well, and dissuaded Chutian from giving up the capture of Lujiang County.
The reason is also very simple. Shucheng is to Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang, what Xiacheng is to Chutian.
Shucheng's people's heart is higher than 90. In the face of the attack of the Xuzhou army, they will definitely swear to defend and scramble to defend the city. Even if Chutian spends several months, it may not be possible to capture Shuxian.
"Even if Shu County cannot be defeated, my army can plunder the population of Lujiang County and enrich Hefei and Shouchun."
Chutian didn't plan to let Tongque's Lujiang County go. Even if he grabbed tens of thousands of households and migrated to Hefei, he would have made a profit.
"My lord, Chen Yuanlong, the prefect of Guangling, recommends a person who he thinks can serve as the prefect of Jiujiang."
When Chutian was about to enter Lujiang County, the talents recommended by Chen Deng came to Shouchun.
