On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 552 Flooded Hinata
Cui Che led the main force, so the big commotion on Dingjun Mountain could not be hidden from the defenders in Yangping Pass. Everyone cheered and thought that the Yan army was about to withdraw from the siege one after another.

Previously, the Yan army's operations outside the customs were building dams to store water and digging river ditches. Their purpose was like the fleas on the monk's head. It couldn't be more obvious.

Even though Yu Wenshu was already actively organizing the military and civilians in Guancheng to prepare for the flood discharge work in advance, no one knew how useful this would be.

Now that Cui Che is willing to leave, it is naturally a matter of happiness.

While everyone was celebrating, the dark night couldn't hide the melancholy in Yu Wenshu's eyes.

Yu Wenshu didn't know why Cui Che left. After all, the news of Li Yuan's death could not reach his ears so quickly.

But Yu Wenshu thinks he has found the reason for Cui Che's departure: the flood is coming.

There is no doubt that Cui Che has always been a hypocrite in Yu Wenshu's eyes.

How could he stay and watch helplessly as the flood he had accumulated swallowed up Yangping Pass and even Hanchuan County.

'Heh, do you really think that if you leave, you can let your subordinates bear the infamy for you? '

Yu Wenshu looked at Dingjun Mountain and thought to himself.

However, Yu Wenshu did not share his views with the crowd, but followed their wishes and said:
"Since Cui Ni has retreated, there is no need for the old man to stay at Yangping Pass."

Yu Wenshu handed over the defense of Yangping Pass to a general.

Before the project of the ditch outside the city was coming to an end, Yu Wenshu had already planned to withdraw to the south, and he didn't want to stay in Yangping Pass to feed the fish.

The day after Cui Che left, in the morning, Yu Wenshu also led the main force out of Yangping Pass.

Yesterday, Cui Che's class teacher gave Yu Wenshu an excuse to leave.

However, the guard at Yangping Gate suddenly discovered that the Yan army had not all withdrawn. There were still heavy guards at the dam, and the folks digging the ditches outside the city were still doing the final finishing work.

The guard ordered people to hurry up and report the situation to Yu Wenshu.

But how could Yu Wenshu go back? He lied that Cui Che was in a hurry to be a teacher, so there must be chaos in the rear. The other party has no time to take care of Hanchuan County now, so he just let the generals guard the gate with peace of mind.

Yangping Pass is undoubtedly a powerful pass, and Yu Wenshu thought that if Cui Che didn't take water attack, the defenders he left would be enough to defend the pass for a period of time.

And if it really triggers a flood to attack the city, tens of thousands of main forces stay in the pass, and it will not have much effect.

Hanchuan County can be lost, but Hebei, Hedong, Henan, Huaibei, Guanzhong, and Longyou have been lost successively. In front of these areas, let alone Hanchuan County, even if the three counties of Hanzhong are added together, it seems insignificant.

But Hanchuan County can't be lost at will. When Cui Che faced Yangpingguan, he had no choice but to save floods for his own selfish desires and attack the city, bringing disaster to the people of Hanchuan.

The southern imperial court can use public opinion to tear up his hypocrisy. Even if Hanchuan County is lost, it is still valuable.

Qin Qiong, who was left by Cui Che to lead the army in Dingjun Mountain, didn't have so many thoughts, and just obeyed orders.

However, Yu Wenshu still didn't understand Cui Che, if he was not worried about chaos in Guanzhong, he would not choose to leave.

Since ancient times, in military history, there have been many cases of water attack, and which general has been infamous for this.

Later generations scolded Cao Cao for slaughtering Xuzhou, but who ever scolded him for flooding Xiapi.

On September 608th in the third year of Zhenyuan (27 A.D.), as the artificial ditch and the main stream of the Han River were opened up, the original river course was also blocked.

The guard of Yangping Pass looked at Hanshui Yidao, scattered outside Yangping Pass, soaked the city wall, and knew what he was about to face, and the guards inside the pass were all terrified.

It's just that the guard is Yu Wenshu's confidant after all, even at this moment, he didn't order to open the door and surrender.

Some people don't care about the life and death of their family members, such as Yu Juluo. For him, the choice is nothing more than going back to the south. In the future, he will be accused of treason by Yang Guang and his family will die.

Either he died in battle in the north, so that his family can be honored and raised by the court in Jiangnan.

But Yu Juluo didn't want to die like this, so he chose to sacrifice the city like Cui Che.

But General Yangping thought that his talent was not outstanding, otherwise Yu Wenshu would not have kept him here.

But he can have today's status, which is inseparable from Yu Wenshu's support.

Now that his family members have all gone to the south, Yangping Guanshou firmly believes that Yu Wenshu will take good care of his parents, wife and children.

Seeing that the warning did not work, Qin Qiong saw that the general at Yangping Gate still refused to surrender. As winter approached, Qin Qiong, who had no patience, finally gave the order to destroy the dam.

That night, after the dike built between the two mountains was broken, white lines surged down the new river in the moonlight.

The defenders at Yangping Pass also saw the white line, but in their eyes, it was a huge wave.

"Water! Water is coming!"

"Those bloody Yan people actually dare to flood the city with water!"

Many people are jumping and cursing, but these are of no avail, and they cannot stop the huge waves from crashing on the city wall.

The river water seeped into the Guancheng from the gate holes and the gaps in the city wall, and the water level in the city soared.

As one white wave after another was hitting the city wall, the northern city wall finally couldn't hold on, and more and more collapses occurred. The river flowed into the city along the gap, flooding many houses in the low-lying places in Guancheng.

Fortunately, Yu Wenshu had expected it long ago. In addition to organizing the excavation of flood discharge trenches, he also moved the garrison of the people and the defenders to the high ground in the city.

However, the Yan army's goal was obviously achieved. The northern city wall had collapsed, and the once insurmountable high wall was now in ruins.

The entire Yangpingguan City seems to be immersed in the ocean, with river water constantly pouring in from the north and flowing out from the south, harming the entire Hanchuan River.

The crying never stopped all night.

The next day, with the first dawn, the turbulent Han River has calmed down.

It is not a high water season now, so there was such a large amount of water last night, it was the result of the Yan army storing water for a long time.

Looking at Yangping Pass from a high place, Qin Qiong said regretfully:
"This pass city must be destroyed, and we can only wait for the king to rebuild it in the future."

Cheng Yaojin, who was Qin Qiong's deputy general, didn't take it seriously:
"If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Yangping Pass is defended in the direction of Guanlong. Now that the king is about to unify the north, it is not of much use to keep this pass."

Obviously, Cheng Yaojin regarded Hanchuan County as something in his pocket.

Qin Qiong shook his head. He knew that this Guancheng would still be rebuilt in the future.

At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Yan Junminfu was busy again.

They need to redirect the Han River back to the correct channel, otherwise even if Yangping Pass is destroyed, they will not be able to attack the city.

After all, they didn't carry ships.

The old channel of the Han River has been re-opened, and the newly opened channel has also been blocked. If it is the high water season in summer, it will inevitably take a lot of effort.

At this time, Yangping Pass has turned into a whole country.

　I went out to attend a wedding the day before yesterday, and today it is sunny. I know that many people still go to work normally when they are sunny, but the situation is really different from person to person. I feel so uncomfortable now.

　　I should have another chapter around twelve o'clock. I stayed up all night to write. I really can't write tonight.
