Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty
697 submerged
In summer, it rains heavily.
On the top of Jiangling City, the heavy rain was pouring down. Zhu Ran, holding the long sword at his waist and wearing a bamboo hat, personally inspected the city tower.
Recently, due to heavy rain for several days, the Han army moved to the northwest to avoid the rain, and gave up the siege.Zhu Ran worried that Wang Ping and Deng Ai were famous generals of the Han Dynasty, and their behavior was deceitful, so he personally inspected the towers to prevent them from going back and attacking Jiangling City.
During the inspection, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.The flash of lightning pierced through the dark sky, and it was intimidating. Zhu Ran subconsciously covered his eyes, and then a burst of thunder came over.
After the thunder, there was another equally dazzling lightning.In a short period of time, thunder and lightning alternated continuously, gradually dissipating into nothingness.
Zhu Ran opened his eyes and jumped to look at the sky, only to see that the vast sky space in the west had faintly turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.This scene seemed to open the gate of the Tianhe River in the gloomy clouds. The endless water was flowing down from the sky. The torrent was getting closer and closer, constantly devouring the visible things outside Jiangling City.
The sound of the flood was also mixed with the sound of rain, pouring into his ears.
"flood!"
Zhu Ran, who has lived in the southeast region all year round, had this word in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Ran passed through the rain curtain, grabbed the collar of the attendant, and shouted: "The flood is coming, let people evacuate to a higher place, especially the grain and grass. Don't let it get wet in the water."
"promise!"
The attendant, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, was called back to his senses by Zhu Ran, and scrambled to inform the defenders in the city of the news.
"The flood is coming!" Countless shrill screams came and went on the city wall, alarming everyone in the city.
In the majestic torrential rain, the flood rushed towards Jiangling City. They easily destroyed the fortifications left by the Han army, piled up the mounds that had been attacked by the city, and were swallowed by the flood, leaving only the sharp tips visible.
At the same time, there was another burst of shouts in Jiangling City: "The dam of the great river has been washed away, and the flood is coming!"
Zhu Ran, who was standing in the rain and heard the news, couldn't help getting colder.Now he has fully reacted to the behavior of the Han army earlier.This water must have been brought in by Wang Ping to flood the city of Jiangling to destroy the enemy.
Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, dangerous in the Jingjiang section.
In terms of the area most threatened by floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, none is better than Jiangling (now Jingzhou).According to historical records, during the more than 2000 years from the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangling suffered more than [-] floods.
Therefore, people living in this area often build city walls and dams to prevent floods, forming a flood control system of fortification-cofferdam-flood diversion area.
Therefore, during the several months of siege of Jiangling, Wang Ping dug the dams of the Yangtze River and ordered dams to be built on various rivers, so as to achieve the goal of submerging Jiangling City by diverting its course.
It was summer, and the torrential rain lasted for several days, and the rivers in various places swelled sharply, and the dykes built by manpower could not stop it at all.Just in the early hours of this morning, the Ju, Zhang, and Tuo rivers in the west changed their course and rushed out of the river, forming waves higher than the flat ground.The waves of water not only swept across the field, but also flowed towards Jiangling City and poured into the city.
The soaring Yangtze River broke down the dams in the Jiangling city section, and the flood peaks rushed in, suddenly crossed the top of the Yangtze River dams, and poured down like a waterfall.
The floodwaters from the west and south rushed to the bottom of the city wall, slapping more than ten feet of turbid waves, and a large number of animal carcasses and trees engulfed by the water rushed in.
There is chaos in Jingzhou city.
Since a few days ago, the torrential rains have caused the water level of the rivers and canals in Jiangling City to overflow. Zhu Ran ordered his soldiers to make earth bags and sandbags to fill in the gaps to prevent the river from filling the city.Under the pouring of the flood, the river completely submerged the sandbags, and the water level in the city rose in a way visible to the naked eye.
Zhu Ran rushed to the bottom of the city gate, shouting along the way: "Block the city gate, if the river floods the city gate, the city will be flooded with water, and the city will be in danger. Those who carry grain and grass will move to higher places."
Although his roar was covered by rumbling floods and noisy noises, Zhu Ran's status and prestige allowed him to gather a group of soldiers, and gradually he regained control of the various ministries in the city through his attendants.
After a brief period of confusion, the soldiers of the Wu army began to follow Zhu Ran's arrangements.
Soldiers of the Wu army brought all the sandbags they could find to the city gate. However, the pressure of the flood was too strong, and the sandbags and soil bags were almost used up soon. There was a creaking sound.
Everyone was a little scared, Zhu Ran stood in the water up to his calf, and shouted: "We grew up in a water town, so what is there to fear in such water. Besides, our navy sailors are cruising on the big river, and they have water as their rations." It will not be so fast to be able to transfer luck! The people of Shu have no water army, so we will solve the siege."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt a lot more relieved, yes!Jiangling City is close to the Yangtze River. Now that Jiangling is trapped by floods, will it be directly connected to the Yangtze River soon?
With the Yangtze River water, will there be a navy soon?With a navy, isn't it easy to evacuate or hold on?
But what no one noticed was that after Zhu Ran said this, his expression fell.
It is true to say so, but Jiangling City is also useless if it is surrounded by water.Now he vaguely understands Wang Ping's plan. Maybe he doesn't want to destroy the city, but wants to use the river water to abolish the role of Jiangling.
Jiangling City was built on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Its function was to serve as the forerunner of crossing the river from the north to the south, and it was also a stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River to resist those who crossed the river.
Now submerged by floods, Jiangling City, a stronghold on the north bank of the Yangtze River, has lost its function.Wang Ping moved his village to the northwest again. It is very likely that he was preparing to march west and cooperate with Liu Chan's troops to try to defeat the Wu army in the north of the river or break through Yiling City, so as to occupy the north of the river and look down on the south of the river.
Zhu Ran gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Order a boat to report the news to Zhuge Ke in Jiangbei, so that he can inform His Majesty and the General."
"promise!"
Zhu Ran's judgment was not wrong at all.
Wang Ping just wanted to destroy Jiangling City, make him a Ze Kingdom completely, and make Jiangling City lose its function as a stronghold in Jiangbei, so that he can easily support Liu Chan.
Therefore, after Wang Ping withdrew from Jiangling on a heavy rainy day, he crossed Ju, Zhang, and Tuo to the west. After crossing, Wang Ping ordered people to destroy the dams and make the river run eastward.And he himself led the army to attack Zhijiang County and occupy the west bank of Tuojiang River.
Zhijiang is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, on the west edge of the Jianghan Plain, at the end of the Three Gorges and at the head of the Jingjiang River.It connects Yiling to the west and Jiangling to the east, serving as the central station between the two places.
Such an important place should not have easily fallen into the hands of the Han army. In fact, Zhijiang is not close to the Yangtze River, and Jiangling Zhongzhou is to the south.Therefore, Jiangling Zhongzhou replaced Zhijiang County as the central station of the two places. Yiling and Jiangling traveled between the Yangtze River Basin and stopped at Jiangling Zhongzhou.
From this, Wang Ping sent his troops to the east and captured Zhijiang County directly and easily.
Wang Ping looked at the strokes of the map and said: "Lu Xun's troops occupy the north and south banks of Xiaoting, and use the navy as a bridge to travel between the north and the south of the river. Your Majesty besieged Yiling for several months. Now that our army occupies Zhijiang, we can go west to help your majesty. Attack Yiling."
After a pause, Wang Ping pointed his finger at Yidao again, and said: "If our army breaks through the camp of Xiaoting of the Wu army, Your Majesty can move to the south of the Yangtze River and enter Yidao. If Lu Xun leads the army to station in Yidao, we will fight Your Majesty for a long time. You can garrison the north of the Yi Road, take advantage of autumn and winter, cross the south of the Yangtze River, and encircle Lu Xun in front and back, then you can defeat Jingnan in one battle."
Deng Ai looked at the map and analyzed it: "General Wei's speculation is feasible, but Ai secretly thinks that Lu Xun will not sit still. Our army entered Zhijiang, and the intention of joining forces with His Majesty is obvious. And Jiaozhou has a horse commander. Although we don't know what the strength of the army is, but it is also an act of adding fuel to the fire, General Lu Xun will not be able to sit still."
"Under the two circumstances, it is impossible for Lu Xun to turn a blind eye, but to take the initiative to look for opportunities to attack, either to attack His Majesty, or to attack our army. Therefore, Ai thought that our army should be on strict guard, and sent envoys to the west to pass on information about our army to His Majesty."
Wang Ping listened to Deng Ai's analysis, pondered for a long time, and said: "The words of Shizai should be good words. However, what Ping just said meant to underestimate Lu Xun. Our army marched westward, and the intention of attacking Xiaoting was obvious, and His Majesty was there. West, it should move."
Pu Zhong looked at Wang Ping and asked curiously, "What does the general mean?"
Wang Ping left Tutu, walked to the entrance of the camp, looked at the rain in the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps the opportunity for a decisive battle is only a few months away. Once Yiling is conquered, the situation of the Wu people will take a turn for the worse, and they will be like Deng Xiangzhou." Lu Xun can't sit still."
As he spoke, Wang Ping gave orders and shouted: "Order the ministries to repair the camps and prepare the army for war. Send soldiers to build grain camps to the north to welcome the grain from Jingbei to the south and ensure the smooth flow of grain roads."
"promise!"
