"Use water attack!"

More than 100,000 rural warriors were organized to dig river channels, intending to directly divert Fei water to flood Shouchun.

Huainan has suffered from heavy rains for days, muddy roads, skyrocketing water levels, and cumbersome food turnover. If Shouchun cannot be captured within two months, the Xuzhou Army may have to retreat.

The scouts sent by Hou Jing to investigate outside the city discovered that the Xuzhou Army was diverting the Feishui River, and they couldn't help but panic. Once Shouchun was submerged by the Feishui River, no one could 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 was in danger, Hou Jing, after experiencing despair, simply sat back and ignored the situation, drinking and having fun in the city, living passively.

Mi Fang, who lacked the ability to command troops and horses, was responsible for digging river channels and diverting Fei water.

As a branch of the Huai River, the Feishui River can be used for water attack because of the continuous rain and the surge of the river water.

Mi Fang regarded the task of diverting the Fei River as Chu Tian's trust in him, and personally carried the shovel to dig the river channel.

Chu Tian waited patiently for Shouchun to be flooded. At the same time, he ordered Xu Sheng to prepare a large number of grain transport ships and prepare to attack Shouchun's city wall from the water.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan's Langya Defense Corps supported Hefei and assisted Yang Ye. Joan of Arc defeated the famous Eastern Jin generals Huan Wen and Zu Ti and defended Hefei.

Huan Wen and Zu Ti discovered that the main force of the Xuzhou Army had noticed the importance of Hefei and knew that there was no chance of retaking Hefei, so they withdrew.

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

In order to block Huan Wen and Zu Ti's offensive, the Invincible Legion and the Servant Legion themselves suffered between three and four thousand casualties, and the losses were also considerable.

Yang Ye's invincible army could still be recruited and replenished, but the servant army could not be replenished in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After the formation of the servant army, they fought many times and their numbers had shrunk a lot. Even if the general Jeanne d'Arc was almost killed in battle, it could be regarded as a bloodshed for Xuzhou Mu. Chutian ordered Yang Ye to send scouts to take a look at Lujiang River.

As long as Shouchun is captured, the main army may not be able to attack Lujiang.

"If you have the Long River, you can look at Shu; if you have the Huai River, you can look at the River."

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

If you capture Longyou, you will want to enter Shu; if you capture Huainan, you will want to drink from the Yangtze River.

Although it has rained continuously recently, because Hua Mulan warms the bed, Chutian's life is not bad, at least much better than that of the guard trapped in Shouchun City.

"Lord, the river channel has been dug. The water level of Feishui River has risen sharply. An earth dam can be dug to flood the city at any time!"

Mi Fang came to Chu Tian angrily and proudly reported the results.

"Each army seizes the high ground and will divert water to flood the city tomorrow."

The next day, Mi Fang excitedly led thousands of villagers to destroy the earthen dam, the Feishui roared, and headed straight for Shouchun City along the dug river!

The defenders of Shouchun City are troubled by the continuous rain. The city has become flooded and the people are resentful.

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

"Earthquake?"

The defenders thought it was an earthquake.

Guo Jia's expression changed slightly: "Feishui is about to flood the city."

The roaring sound was approaching, and the flood destroyed the trees and rocks outside the city. It swirled and surged, hitting the city wall of Shouchun City! The flood slapped the city wall, and turbid water splashed onto the faces of the defenders!

The defenders watched in horror as the flood raged and entered the city, and they couldn't help but be horrified.

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

With no reinforcements from outside, flooding inside, and soldiers lacking fighting spirit, it was only a matter of time before Shouchun fell.

Hou Jing was drunk and dreaming in the city, and the flood flooded into Shouchun City. Hou Jing was so frightened that he went to the city to defend himself.

"The power of the flood is really huge."

Chu Tian was stationed at a high place and saw Shouchun City turned into a swamp. This was also a helpless move. If the dikes were not breached and the city was flooded, the siege losses would be even greater.

However, the water attack was great for a while, but after occupying Shouchun City, appeasing the civilians and dealing with the stagnant water were enough to give people a headache.

Chutian could only appoint a Jiujiang governor to govern Shouchun and give him a headache...

Xu Sheng temporarily assembled a fleet to pass through the Huaihe River, enter the Feishui River, and appear outside Shouchun City, making the Shouchun defenders even more frightened.

"Chu Zimou thought that the city could be captured by flooding Shouchun. He underestimated me, Hou Jing!"

Hou Jing forcibly recruited 200,000 men, and while draining the troops, he continued to defend Shouchun.

Within three days, thousands of civilians died due to overwork.

Hou Jing defended the city during the day and continued to live in drunken dreams at night.

However, Guo Jia had already begun lobbying Hou Jing's generals.

The generals under Hou Jing's command were divided into two groups, one of which was Hou Jing's old army, and the other group was Yuan Shu's generals who were abducted by Hou Jing to Huainan.

On the fourth day after the Feishui flooded the city, when Hou Jing woke up drunk, he found that he was tied up by Wu Huada. It was not just Yuan Shu's generals who tied him up, but also some of his old men.

Hou Jing was immediately furious, with veins popping up on his forehead: "How dare you betray me!"

A general said: "General, Shouchun is heavily surrounded and flooded. If the siege continues, once the plague breaks out, no one in Shouchun will survive. Sacrifice yourself so that hundreds of thousands of people in Shouchun City can be saved.

, why not?”

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

Hou Jing's eyes were fierce, and the general who betrayed him couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and was still afraid 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 and stood condescendingly.

These Hu 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 together.

"You didn't offer me a plan, but instead harmed me. I regret that I didn't kill you that day!"

Hou Jing understood that most of his generals had been persuaded by Guo Jia to rebel, otherwise they would not have betrayed him even the barbarians.

Guo Jia's eyes were arrogant: "I advised you not to provoke Chu Zimou that day, but you didn't listen. Why did you say that I didn't offer a plan? You didn't kill me, not because you were kind-hearted, but because you were too conceited about yourself.

"

"hateful……"

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

"This thief has done many evil things, so I will sacrifice him to Xuzhou Mu."

Guo Jia's great revenge was avenged, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

"Lord, the Shouchun garrison surrenders to the city!"

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

"I think the Feishui flooding the city must have changed people's minds."

"General, go and investigate!"

Mi Fang volunteered and led more than a thousand soldiers into Shouchun to make sure that the defenders were not pretending to surrender.

The Shouchun garrison was attacked by water and had no fighting spirit. Almost all of them surrendered. Even those who resisted were killed by their own people.

Hou Jing, who caused trouble in Huainan, was brought before Chu Tian by Guo Jia and several rebel generals.

Hou Jing knew he was going to die, but he didn't ask for mercy.

Guo Jia seemed to be less than twenty: "I pay homage to Xuzhou Mu."

"I'm not happy to get Hou Jing and Shouchun, but I'm happy to get Fengxiao."

Chutian, as usual, praised each talent.

Sure enough, Guo Jia, who was still somewhat passionate, was quite moved. It seemed that Xuzhou Mu was thirsty for talents.

"Hou Jing caused harm to Huainan, and the people suffered greatly. Xuzhou Mu went to Huainan to eliminate the harm for the people, and he was regarded as a great righteousness by being filial. If Xuzhou Mu does not dislike it, he would like to be a staff member by being filial."

Guo Jia took the initiative to seek refuge with Chu Tian. If Chu Tian had not led an army to conquer Huainan, causing panic within Hou Jing, he would not have been able to persuade Hou Jing's subordinates to rebel.

"Ding! The imperial counselor Guo Jia pledges his allegiance to you."

Chutian received a prompt from the system.

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

In fact, the top counselors are almost the same. It is difficult to calculate against each other. Most of them have to rely on the strength of the lord to win. The richer the lord's family background, the greater their room for performance.

"Ziyun, Hou Jing will be left to your disposal."

Chu Tian handed Hou Jing to Chen Qingzhi.

Without saying a word, Chen Qingzhi drew his sword and beheaded Hou Jing. Hou Jing, who had caused harm to Huainan, died so easily.

"What do you think Fengxiao should do with these surrendered generals in Huainan?"

After killing Hou Jing, Chu Tian asked Guo Jia about how to deal with Huainan's surrender.

Guo Jia thought for a while: "Kill them all."

"That's what I meant."
