Seoul
Whoa whoa whoa!
Boom!

The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the cold rain has been falling for a month. The water level of the Zhenfan River in the north of the city has risen by more than ten feet, and the river is about to overflow.

As a strong city used to resist the Mahan people in the past, the Yanhou Army has besieged Seoul for half a year, but still failed to capture it.

Many siege engines were still moldy in the damp weather, and disease began to spread in the barracks.

The Xianbei people and the Goguryeo people had no loyalty. They were unwilling to continue to attack the city, but scattered in the surrounding countryside to plunder, and some even went back to Liaodong altogether.

Although there were 12 troops in name, only more than 6 actually participated in the siege.

This Yan civil war, in terms of scale, is not inferior to the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han.

Zhang Tong ordered the Yan army to build a dam on the upper reaches of the Zhenfan River to store water, and then wait until the water volume was large enough to tear down the dam and attack with water to destroy Seoul.

This is the Xiangfan Flooded Seventh Army who learned from Guan Yu, and he wants to reproduce the history.

However, Wang Ba was notified of this news in advance by the rebellious Goguryeo people.

Dam at the upper reaches of the Zhenfan River
Tatata!
Three hundred personal soldiers and one thousand cavalry were killed under Wang Shuang's personal command.

There were only two thousand Yan army infantry defending the dam, and they were quickly defeated and fled one after another.

After defeating the Yan army, Wang Shuang gave an order to the captives: "Destroy the dam immediately!"

Now the main force of the Yan army is in a position where it can be submerged. According to Zhang Tong's battle plan, the soldiers of the Yan army will leave the area that may be submerged and temporarily stop the siege until the dam is about to be demolished.

But now, Wang Shuang has captured the Zhenfan River dam and demolished it ahead of schedule.
Soon after, the dike was demolished.

boom!
The flood poured out and went straight to Seoul.

The river, mixed with a lot of rainwater and muddy, looked like a khaki dragon, and all the rocks and trees in front of it were swept away by the dragon, and the earth trembled in front of this powerful natural force.

In the past, Zhiyao wanted to flood Zhao's Jinyang City with river water, but because of the appearance of traitors, he dug the dam ahead of time, and instead drowned his army.

Wang Shuang reproduced the history and used the same method to deal with the Yan army.

As for whether the people in Seoul will be affected by the disaster, this is not within Wang Shuang's consideration.

The flood soon reached the camp of the Yan army, and tens of thousands of Yan army, Xianbei people, and Goguryeo people fled in horror.

Several great nobles in Goguryeo, they had received the news in advance, so they left the camp early, leaving only their Goguryeo compatriots here to be submerged in the flood.

boom!
The flood swept away tens of thousands of soldiers, and the tall catapult, like a toy of a dragon, was instantly crushed by the flood.

"what!--"

"Wow!--"

boom!
The flood slammed on the city wall of Seoul, and the entire city wall began to shake, especially the place where the crack was hit by the catapult. Under the violent impact of the flood, the crack became bigger and the surrounding walls began to crack.

In the terrified eyes of the people in Seoul, the flood rushed into the city with tens of thousands of fresh lives.

All the houses collapsed under the impact of the flood, and the citizens were drowned in the flood.

"Jun Hou, retreat quickly!" Zhang Tong rowed the boat and led Wang Ting to escape from the battlefield in Seoul.

"How could this be..." Wang Ting was still in a state of ignorance as he watched his [-] army be defeated by a flood.

another three months later

During the first battle in Seoul, the news that Wang Shuang flooded the Yan army spread throughout the country of Yan. The city lords who had maintained a neutral wait-and-see attitude joined the parliamentary army one after another to denounce Yanhou Wang Ting.

All of a sudden, the size of the parliamentary army soared from 20 to [-], and troops from all walks of life gathered towards Liaodong one after another to catch up with the final battle.

In this civil war in Yan, the total number of troops invested by the two sides was close to 40, and the scale was not inferior to the war of annihilating the country in the Central Plains.

Royal Manor
"Report to the prince, the Goguryeo people rebelled, and they joined Wang Ba's rebel army."

"My lord, the Xianbei people returned to the grassland after looting in Liaodong, and they are unwilling to continue fighting for us."

Hearing the news, Wang Ting took out the poison pill in despair, and prepared to commit suicide by taking the poison.

Victory or defeat is only a blink of an eye. A few months ago, he was the Marquis of Yan with 12 soldiers. Now, only a few hundred guards around him are still loyal to him, and the rest defected one after another.

This civil war, which lasted for two years, came and went quickly.

Although Wang Ting was desperately preparing to commit suicide, Huan Fan, the counselor at the side, did not want to die.

Although he has strategies, he is very selfish, even worse than Jia Xu. At the same time, he is very afraid of death, even more greedy for life and afraid of death than Lu Bu at the beginning.

"The prince still has a chance, so why seek his own death early?" Huan Fan knew that Wang Ba and others would not let him go, and even if he surrendered, it would be useless. He just instigated Yan Hou to control his family and plot to let foreigners slaughter him. These two major crimes in Liaodong were enough to be executed by Ling Chi, so he could only hug Wang Ting's thigh tightly and advised him: "The rebels have usurped the throne. You can go to the Central Plains and ask the court to suppress the rebels."

Huan Fan was betting that Sima Zhao didn't know that he had helped Zhen Xiang plan to eradicate the Sima family.

"Your Majesty, your Marquis Yan was hereditary after being conferred by the imperial court. How can the imperial court ignore the rebellion now?" Seeing Wang Ting's hesitation, Huan Fan strikes while the iron is hot.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Ting regained his brilliance and said firmly, "Let's go now, go to Luoyang, and ask Da Sima to calm down the civil strife for my country of Yan."

This Da Sima naturally refers to Yuan Zhao Da Sima - Sima Zhao.

Half a year ago, when Yan State was busy fighting a civil war, Yuan Zhao, Sun Wu, and Shu Han were also fighting a civil war.

Some people in the Shu Han opposed Jiang Wei's militarism and wanted to overthrow Jiang Wei. Some people even wrote "On the Enemy of the Country" to satirize the Shu Han under Jiang Wei's rule.

For Sun Wu, because of the issue of the right to inherit the throne, the royal relatives who had the right to inherit had a fight.

Because the Sima family wanted to usurp the throne, Yuan Zhao kept crowding out veterans who were loyal to Yuan Zhao, and even killed them on trumped-up charges. He raised his troops to rebel and wanted to overthrow the Sima family.

Spring of the 50th year of Marquis Yan (260 years)
Luoyang
Jinhou Mansion

"Yanhou, sit down quickly."

Sima Zhao, Marquis of Jin, personally received Wang Ting. After all, in terms of status, everyone is a county marquis and equal.

Sima Zhao looks like a fairy, he is a beautiful man in the world, he just quelled the rebellion in Huainan a month ago, and now he is busy recuperating and dealing with follow-up affairs.

"The rebels in the country are making trouble, and I ask the Marquis of Jin to help me restore the country, woo woo woo—" Wang Ting kept crying to Sima Zhao, hoping that Sima Zhao would use the power of the court to help him take back the country of Yan.

"The Marquis of Yan is defeated?" Sima Zhao was very surprised. He also heard the news of Yan's domestic turmoil, but at that time he was busy suppressing the Huainan rebellion, so he didn't have extra energy to intervene in Yan's domestic turmoil.

Originally, he thought that after the Huainan rebellion was put down, he would find an opportunity to intervene in the civil strife in Yan State. It would be best to take this opportunity to completely eradicate Yan State and turn Yan State from a prince of Yuan Zhao to a county of the imperial court.

But before he started preparing to intervene in Yan's civil war, Yanhou Wang Ting had already lost in the civil war?This is difficult!

"As long as the Marquis of Jin can help me restore my country, I am willing to hand over all the land of Yan Kingdom and let the imperial court manage it. I only want to keep a corner of the land and the ancestral temple to worship my ancestors." Wang Ting begged humbly.

"What is Yanhou talking about? We are both princes of the imperial court. Naturally, we must share difficulties and share blessings. From then on, we will become good friends of Yan and Jin. Now that Marquis Yan is in trouble, how can I, Sima Zhao, not save him? ?" Sima Zhao stroked his beard and smiled, he didn't know the strength of Yan State, so he decided to intervene in Yan State's civil war.
