Two embankments were built at the same time in the upper reaches of the Hun River. Even if there was heavy rainfall in the upper reaches, it would have a brief impact on the water level downstream in a short period of time.

The most obvious thing is that the turbulent water downstream has become much calmer.

Coincidentally, both parties selectively ignore this.

Both sides have plans in their minds.

In the eyes of Tong Guan and others, upstream interception will naturally make the downstream less water, and they think they know the reason.

Of course Fang Mu and Fang La and others knew the reason. Two dams built upstream and the downstream remained low, and there would be ghosts.

Fortunately, the water level of Hunjiang River gradually increased with the heavy rain upstream.

A cool breeze blowing by the river, Fang Mu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction across the river.

"Tong Guan has been quiet for nine days. When I count, Tong Guan should be looking for opportunities in the near future. Mr. Tian, ​​what opportunity do you think Tong Guan will look for to attack with water?"

"What do you think?" Tian Chou asked back.

"Pretended to be defeated." The two of them said at the same time, then laughed.

"Young Master Gao Jian." Tian Chou said.

"Tong Guan pretends to be defeated and can retreat backwards just in time to retreat from the flood range, and at the same time it can attract us to attack. When the flood hits, our army is in a dilemma halfway." Fang Mu said.

"But although I guessed that they would pretend to be defeated, I can't guess what specific method it was." Fang Mu said.

Although Fang Mu sent people to build another dam above Tong Guan's embankment, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain.

Even now, Tong Guan still has a great chance of winning.

Because Zhang Ren's embankment is nearly seventy or eighty miles away from here, even if it is discharged, it takes time, which requires accurate control of the timing. On the contrary, the embankment built by Guan Sheng is only twenty or thirty miles, and the flood speed is faster, and both sides can display their trump card.

"We must find a way to attract Tong Guan to cross the river. The main force of our army cannot cross the river easily, otherwise Tong Guan will not miss the opportunity. As long as our main force crosses the embankment in the upper reaches of the river, flood discharge will be discharged."

Tian Chou thought for a moment and said, "Young Master can share the conversation with Lord Fang La like this."

After saying that, he leaned over and whispered in Fang Mu's ear.

After hearing this, Fang Mu nodded and went to the Central Army camp to see Fang La.

"Brother, we can't delay, so just ask me to send a main force around Tong Guan Houjun to cut off their food and grass." When Fang Mu came to the camp, he saw Fang Mao discussing with Fang La.

In order not to leak the news, Fang La did not tell anyone about building a dike upstream except Zhang Ren and Fang Tianding and Fang Mu who were carrying out the mission. There were many people and the fewer people knew, the better.

Fang La had already made a plan in his heart, so naturally he was not very interested in Fang Ying's idea.

Fang Ying was a little impatient. Recently, the credits were made by Fang Tianding and Fang Mu. The faction he was in is also a large faction in the Fang family, and it has never been able to make contributions, which made him a little anxious.

"Brother, believe me. I have a new powerful general. He can definitely complete the task of breaking the child's post. Fang Mu's subordinates have all given important tasks. But you don't believe the powerful general. I know he is your relative grandson, but it's not so unfair." Fang Mao said dissatisfied.

When Fang Mu came in, Fang Ying's expression changed slightly when she had just said bad things about Fang Mu. It seemed that she had been heard, but he was not embarrassed, but just smiled and said, "Xiao Mu is here too. You just happened to help me talk to your grandfather. Even if I saw everyone fighting for the family, I also wanted to do something for our Fang family, but I have no selfishness."

"Why don't I know when you will win a new powerful general?" Fang La turned to look at Fang Meng.

He suspected that Fang Meng might have been deceived, and that the newly conquered general would not be a traitor sent by the court.

Fang Mao said, "It was when you asked me to disguise myself as the Green Forest Alliance a few days ago, a bunch of bandits came to surrender. The leader of the bandit was named Yao Gang. He was originally a general from the court. Later, he offended his superiors and had to become a bandit. Other bandits heard that he was once a general and refused to take him in, so I took him in. Brother, don't worry, I have tried this person, and I am definitely not from the court."

Is it Yao Gang?

Fang Mu's expression moved slightly, but he didn't expect that the second grandfather would have the luck to regain a powerful general.

Not to mention Yao Gang's other experiences, he will only talk about his record. He injured Hu Yanzhuo in 70 rounds, tied Wu Song in 50 rounds, and tied with Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen and others.

It is impossible to say that he is a first-class general. In the Water Margin of the Mei family, Yao Gang is indeed a bandit who became a bandit, and should not be a traitor in the court.

Fang Mu suddenly looked slightly moved, and he thought of something.

Then he smiled and said, "Second Grandpa is planning to ask your fierce general to call the battle? But the water in the Hun River flows fast. If you are not proficient in water warfare, forget it."

"I'm not going to call the battle, the food consumed by Tong Guan's army is not a small number every day. I'm going to ask Yao Gang to cut off his back supply. When Tong Guan's food crisis occurs, they will naturally break without attacking." Fang Mao said.

Fang La snorted coldly, "If the food is cut off as simple as you said, I won't send people? Going deep into the enemy's belly is a dangerous chess. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by a group. How many people can your fierce general be able to defeat?"

"My powerful general is absolutely good at all. If my eldest brother doesn't believe it, you can send someone to take the exam for him." Fang Mao said confidently.

Other masters under his command have competed with Yao Gang. Yao Gang can defeat ten generals by himself! His martial arts are superb, and he even feels that he is no worse than the few powerful generals under Hangzhou city that day.

"If the second grandfather's fierce general really has that ability, it might be feasible to rob the grain." Fang Mu suddenly said.

"Hahaha, brother, you see it. I'll let Yao Gang come over and appreciate it now."

After Fang Mao finished speaking, he went to find Yao Gang.

When Fang La saw Fang Mao leave, he said to Fang Mu, "No, it's not that easy to rob grain, and there is also a natural barrier of Hunjiang. Wouldn't the soldiers and generals sent out be all meat buns to beat dogs, and they would lose their troops and powerful generals in vain!"

"But if there is not enough bait, how could Tong Guan believe that we are really retreating?" Fang Mu smiled.

"You" Fang La frowned, and he understood what Fang Mu was going to do.

He had just made a temporary decision. He had prepared other ideas before, but since Yao Gang came to the door, he would be welcome.

No one would have thought that a powerful general like Yao Gang would be sent to die to use a bitter plan. In Tong Guan's opinion, this was definitely a mistake in strategy. When something happened to Yao Gang, he and others would retreat with the flow.

Tong Guan led his army to pursue.

The upstream floods have a chance.

Opportunities will not come by themselves, they all need to take the initiative to create opportunities.

"You are a little cruel." Fang La felt that Fang Mu's plan was too cruel.

"How can I call a bitter plan if I don't have any pain points?" Fang Mu smiled. "At the beginning, I was going to let my masters use the bitter plan, but when I came, I heard my second grandfather asking for battle. If I didn't use it, wouldn't it be a waste of his good intentions? Besides, the bitter plan may not be really going to die. If I really have the ability, I can escape unscathed."

Of course, Fang La is not a merciful person who can get into this position. He just felt a little sorry for his second brother just now. Now, when he came back to his senses, he has a new concern.

"That's it."
